What happened to Lady Yan was just a small interlude for Ying Chen.
After planting the fire in Concubine Yan's body, Ying Chen locked her up in a small black room.
As for marrying her, Ying Chen didn't care anymore.
After this incident, Ying Chen also understood one thing:
Women could only be used as a spice in his life and could not be his restraints.
"Looks like the memories of my previous life still have some influence on me!”
Ying Chen couldn't help but laugh at himself when he thought about what happened to Concubine Yan.
If he didn't have the system and his current strength, wouldn't he have died under the Six Soul Fear Curse?
Therefore, he needed to change his mindset.
A man's career was still the most important.
"Men, let Guo Kai see me.”
Ying Chen decided to stabilize Handan City first.
............
As the Qin army completely occupied the State of Zhao, the resistance forces in various places were continuously suppressed.
The entire country of Zhao gradually became stable.
Handan City, in the former Prime Minister's Mansion.
Guo Kai was restless, pacing back and forth on the spot.
"What does Marquis Wu 'an mean? Why hadn't there been any movement yet?”
Guo Kai knew very well why he was still alive until now.
The reason why Li Mu was ambushed was because the spy he had arranged in the Zhao army had leaked the information.
Therefore, Guo Kai had a part to play in the Zhao Country's swift destruction.
To a certain extent, he could be considered a hero of the State of Qin.
However, so much time had passed, yet Marquis Wu An had not summoned him. He had not received any orders and had left him at home.
How could Guo Kai not be terrified?
Could it be that Marquis Wu An wanted to kill the donkey after it was fired?
Thinking of this, Guo Kai became even more terrified.
"Old Master, Marquis Wu 'an has sent someone to summon you.”
At this moment, Guo Kai's butler walked in from outside and said respectfully.
"It's finally here!"
Hearing this, Guo Kai slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Marquis Wu An still expressed that he wanted to see him, things would not be too bad.
Otherwise, the Qin army would have broken in long ago.
Not long after, Guo Kai was brought to the former Zhao Palace.
At this moment, in the palace, incense was rising. The tide girl's slender legs were closed together as she sat on the blanket.
Ying Chen leaned lazily in her arms, flipping through a bamboo scroll in his hand.
"Ming Zhu, your incense mixing skills are indeed not bad. No wonder Han Wangan was bewitched by you in the past.”
Ying Chen put down the bamboo slip and suddenly said.
Hearing this, Ming Zhu's face flushed red. She reached out and gently massaged Ying Chen's temples.
"Many thanks for Lord Marquis 'praise. As long as Lord Marquis does not abandon this concubine, it will be fine.”
Ming Zhu's red lips parted slightly. Her voice seemed very weak and had a hint of charm.
Ying Chen wasn't affected by this at all. Instead, he smiled and said,"Don't worry, as long as you don't betray me, your future will be fine.”
"Mingzhu will remember." Ming Zhu said softly.
"However, there shouldn't be anything else mixed in your incense, right?”Ying Chen suddenly carried Ming Zhu over and stared at her.
"Moaning-"
Ming Zhu couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. Feeling Ying Chen's powerful physique, she was in a trance.
After a long time, she finally reacted and said with an aggrieved expression,"Lord Marquis, how can you think of me like that? Ming Zhu was now tied to Lord Marquis, so she definitely wouldn't act recklessly.”
After saying that, Ming Zhu could not help but have tears in the corners of her eyes, looking very pitiful.
Seeing this, Ying Chen's eyes didn't waver. He just said indifferently,"That's good. But you have to remember that the price of betrayal is very terrifying.”
"Yes." Ming Zhu nodded obediently.
"I pay my respects to Lord Marquis."
At this moment, Guo Kai walked in from outside and immediately saw this scene.
However, he quickly lowered his head and knelt down.
After Ying Chen saw Guo Kai come in, he slowly straightened his body, while Ming Zhu stood obediently behind him.
"So it's our great hero, Guo Xiangguo! Hurry up and remove the formalities." Ying Chen said with a smile, gesturing for Guo Kai to stand up.
Hearing this, Guo Kai lowered his head even more and said respectfully,""Lord Marquis, now that the State of Zhao has been destroyed, I am just an ordinary citizen of the Great Qin Empire.”
"Alright, get up quickly!"
Ying Chen finished eating the lychee that Ming Zhu had just plucked and said.
"Great Qin will never forget those who have done great deeds. If it weren't for Lord Guo's report, how could we have killed Li Mu so quickly? Tell me, how should I reward you?”
"I don't dare! Lord Marquis, please atone for your sins!"
Guo Kai did not dare to raise his head, his voice trembling.
Because he knew very well that no one liked betrayal. Furthermore, Marquis Wu An would never show mercy to his enemies.
Therefore, he was very afraid that he would be killed.
"Get up! Who do you think I am?"
Looking down at Guo Kai who was like a frightened cicada in winter, Ying Chen's lips curled up slightly as he shouted,"You have made such a great contribution to the Qin country, how can I kill you?”
"Are you doing this to trap me in an unjust place? Why aren't you getting up?"
Hearing Ying Chen's words, Guo Kai finally let out a long sigh of relief. He knew that he should be safe now.
Thus, he slowly raised his head, but his face was still filled with respect." Thank you, Lord Marquis!”
"Lord Guo has made such a great contribution. I wonder what reward he wants?”
Ying Chen asked Guo Kai as he tapped the table lightly with his hand.
Hearing this, Guo Kai was stunned. Greed appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared.
Although Guo Kai really wanted to demand an exorbitant price, he knew that doing so would undoubtedly be courting death.
Thus, he said very tactfully,"This lowly one will listen to Lord Marquis's orders!"”
"Since that's the case, I'll let you be the governor of Handan Prefecture.”Ying Chen said casually.
"Many thanks, Lord Marquis!" Guo Kai knelt down again to thank him.
The Prefectural Governor!
Although his status was not as high as before, he was still a major official of the border.
It was much better than those nobles who had their families confiscated after their country was destroyed.
"Okay, you can go back first! The official appointment would be announced in a few days.”Ying Chen nodded, then indicated that he could leave.
"Yes, I'll take my leave now! Long live Lord Marquis!" Guo Kai's expression was unusually respectful as he slowly retreated.
"Lord Marquis, are you really going to let Guo Kai be the Handan County Governor?”
After Guo Kai had walked far away, the tide girl leaned into Ying Chen's arms and asked in a delicate voice.
"What do you think?" Ying Chen asked back.
"I don't think Lord Marquis will trust him." Ming Zhu smiled. Moreover, such treacherous officials would never have a good ending.”
Ying Chen caressed Ming Zhu's pretty face and said indifferently,"It's good that you understand. However, let him be happy for a few days first.”
"Lord Marquis 'intentions."
"Hehe, many of Li Mu's loyal subordinates are still hiding in the dark.”
"Guess, if the news of Guo Kai betraying Li Mu spreads,"
Ying Chen stopped listening.
With Ming Zhu's intelligence, she naturally knew what Ying Chen meant.
"Lord Marquis, you're so bad!" Ming Zhu smiled coquettishly.
"Is that so? I'm even worse!"
After he finished speaking, Ying Chen carried Ming Zhu and slowly walked towards the back hall.
Ming Zhu wrapped her arms around Ying Chen's neck, feeling a little excited.
She was finally going to truly become Marquis Wu An's subordinate.
