Chapter 188 Suing Her
But the gentleman kept his word, and the emperor could not break his promise just now, so he still asked: "Apart from this, what reward do you want, please tell me."

Jiang Yan quickly said: "If Your Majesty agrees, Caomin wants to seek an official position from His Majesty, and go to Linyi."

The emperor paused: "Linyi?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yan added: "I heard that local snakes are rampant in Linyi, the local officials are inactive, and the common people are struggling to make ends meet. The grassroots are very worried and uneasy, so I want to go to Linyi to try my best."

The emperor was slightly suspicious: "How did you know about this?"

A young man with a weak crown who has left his family can know what happened far away in Linyi. The reason is really hard to get to the bottom of it.

Jiang Yan lowered his eyes and said: "Because a friend from the old days just came back from his study tour and happened to pass by Linyi, so I know."

Right.

It has not been a day or two since Linyi local snakes have been rampant, it is not a rare thing.

The emperor did not agree or refuse directly: "I have to think about this matter."

Linyi is now ruled by local snakes, the county magistrate and the county magistrate don't care about things, they have been removed from their posts as early as the emperor knew about this matter, and randomly selected someone to take over.

The new official did not dare to commit crimes against the wind when he took office, but now the officials in Linyi are like a mess, and the emperor is also worried.

He originally wanted to choose one or two Jinshi from this class, but he was reluctant, almost... and he was afraid that sending them out would also do nothing.

The emperor thought for a while: "Besides this, don't you have any rewards you want?"

Jiang Yan cupped his hands: "I hope the country will be safe and peaceful, and the people will no longer suffer from displacement and oppression."

The emperor took a deep look at Jiang Yan.

Young people in their 20s don't have the arrogance and recklessness of teenagers, and they don't have the past and step-by-step.He stood there with his back straight and his tone resolute, neither humble nor overbearing.

But who can't say beautiful words, the most important thing is ability and action.

The emperor didn't ask any more questions, and rewarded Jiang Yunsheng and Qiao Jiang with some rewards, and ordered Xu Gonggong to return the prey that had been counted, and went back to the palace by himself.

When it was getting late, people scattered in twos and threes, and lit a bonfire to prepare barbecue.

In fact, there is no need to do the work of lighting a fire and grilling meat by yourself. Someone prepares the things yourself, and the sons and daughters of the aristocratic family are watching.

But there is no such opportunity in the capital, and most of them are still very happy.

Jiang Yan was looking for water with half a deer in his hand, and Jiang Yunsheng, who came with the rabbit in his arms, asked curiously, "Is what you just said true or false?"

"Which one?"

Jiang Yunsheng took it for granted: "Please marry Princess Changning."

Jiang Yan glanced at him: "What do you think?"

Isn't that obvious.

Jiang Yunsheng got it wrong, and exclaimed, "Really?!"

"But when did you have a deep-rooted love for Princess Changning, why don't I know."

Jiang Yunsheng said to himself: "When you didn't say who it was, then I thought about everyone. Guess what?"

He laughed and raised his eyebrows and said, "My first reaction was that that person is your sister."

"Scared me."

Jiang Yan scanned the surroundings, and the surroundings were silent, only the firelight from far away could be seen: "Is it scary?"

Jiang Yunsheng thought for a while: "That's okay, but it's a bit outrageous."

Jiang Yan smiled: "Not outrageous."

Jiang Yunsheng grabbed the ear of the black-haired rabbit he was carrying, but he didn't think about it.

It wasn't until Jiang Yan had cleaned the blood on the half of the deer and was about to get up to leave that he reacted a bit late, still wondering: "...What did you just say?"

Jiang Yan's voice came from the front, like a stream flowing in a mountain stream, without many waves, and seemed to be smiling: "I said you finally guessed it right once."

Looking at his friend's back, Jiang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment.

After recovering, Jiang Yan had gone far away, Jiang Yunsheng only thought that his friend might be crazy.

……

Jiang Sheng was sitting by the bonfire, and a figure sat next to him out of the corner of the eye.

She tilted her head slightly, and the firelight reflected half-brightness on the other party's face, which made the sharp-edged profile look a little softer.

Jiang Yan put down the venison in his hand, borrowed a machete and a sharpened bamboo stick from the person who specialized in helping the barbecue, cut it into thin slices, skewered them, and put them on the open fire.

Bamboo sticks have been baked on purpose, even if exposed to an open flame, it is useless to be so flammable. The thin venison gradually turns dark from fresh pink in the fire, and there are tiny oil bubbles on the surface, which seems to have a burnt aroma. .

Because of the thin slices, the venison cooks quickly.

Seeing Jiang Yan handing the venison to him, Jiang Sheng pointed to himself: "Give it to me?"

"Give you."

Jiang Sheng pursed her lips and comforted him hesitantly: "You suddenly said that you want to marry Princess Changning, His Majesty will definitely not agree, but it doesn't mean that this matter is impossible."

"Even...don't be discouraged."

Jiang Yan was dumbfounded, looked at the people around her, then approached her and lowered her voice: "Didn't you realize that this is just an excuse?"

This still needs to be explained clearly
Others can misunderstand, but Jiang Sheng can't.

It's not that Jiang Sheng has never thought about this possibility, but what if the emperor really agreed... After an imperial decree came down, would Jiang Yan still have to resist it?

As if guessing what she was thinking, Jiang Yan said softly, "I won't agree."

Even if he really agrees now, the emperor will definitely go back on his own without him trying to figure it out in the future.

Jiang Sheng didn't know why Jiang Yan was so sure... She lowered her eyes and shook the bamboo stick in her hand.

Suddenly she asked: "Why do you want to go to Linyi?"

If I remember correctly, Linyi is the place where my sister stayed when she first crossed over.

Jiang Yan answered her: "Do some merit."

"Go back to the capital?"

"Of course I want to go back."

Jiang Sheng said "Oh", half-jokingly: "Do some meritorious service and come back to marry a wife."

Jiang Yan was helpless: "...No."

Jiang Sheng didn't speak for a while.

She took a bite of the venison on the bamboo stick. The venison smelled delicious without the slightest fishy smell.But it may be because there is no seasoning, the taste is very bland, but it is not very delicious.

But the portion was not much, and she finished it.

Looking at the empty bamboo sticks, Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "If I want to go, will I not come back for a long time?"

If you are sent out to be an official, you won't be called back if you don't make some political achievements in three to five years. It's written like this in the books.

Jiang Yan was startled when he heard the words, and then there was a smile on his brows: "Can't bear to part with me?"

The voice next to her was very close, and Jiang Sheng coughed, as if nothing had happened: "... Let me express my concern for my friend who is about to leave and my reluctance to say goodbye."

"That's it." Jiang Yan seemed a little regretful.

"……Um!"
