Chapter 745: Remarkable

After arriving at his fiefdom, he developed a high fever and could not get up.

Jiang Lianzhu took his pulse and his face looked bad.

Liao Jiu asked, "How is it?"

"Brother, you're too weak. You've been suffering from the aftereffects of your previous injuries, and you've overdrawn your energy. Plus, your spirit has been severely damaged. You need to recuperate for a while. Brother, do you have any capable and trustworthy subordinates in Shangrao City? They'll help look after Shangrao City for a while. You need to rest and recuperate."

Erlangjun struggled to get up. "No, I can do it. It's just a fever. Once it subsides, I'll be fine. My adoptive father gave me the fiefdom, how can I let someone else do it?"

After saying that, he coughed violently.

Jiang Lianzhu held his shoulder. "Your previous injuries were in your lungs, and they've all accumulated into tuberculosis. Now you're not in good spirits anymore. Second brother, if you want to live a few more years, you can't abuse your body like this. You haven't avenged your great hatred yet. Also, if you don't take care of yourself, if anything happens to you, my father will be so sad when he comes back."

Erlangjun sighed.

"In that case, I'll listen to Sister Lianzhu and recuperate for a while. I do have a few capable men under my command, but they're still a little short of status and position to hold down Shangrao City. Also, they're capable of commanding troops, but they're a little weak in terms of people's livelihoods."

He wanted to return it to Jiang Lianzhu and his wife.

But at the moment, it is obviously impossible. Jiang Lianzhu and his wife must prioritize the capital.

The little emperor and the entire Da'an Kingdom need them more.

Shangrao City is a small fiefdom city, and it is not suitable to drag two people with it.

Jiang Lianzhu pondered for a moment before discussing with Liao Jiu, "How about this? What do you think of Zhou Yuan? The Zhou family has been a prime minister for generations, and Zhou Yuan has been influenced by them since he was a child. He's also a top scholar in the imperial examination. Let him temporarily help manage Shangrao City. Second Brother also has capable people here. Since Zhou Yuan was born here, we can appoint him to an official position on the spot..."

Before Liao Jiu could say anything, Erlang Jun spoke first, "Zhou Tanhualang is a good man, both civil and military, brave and resourceful. During this counterattack, I saw his performance. He is intelligent, strategic, courageous, and careful. He is quite good."

"Okay, I'll go ask him for his opinion." Liao Jiu agreed.

This kid Zhou Yuan's performance this time is indeed remarkable.

He was considered their lucky star. Without his keen intuition and the early delivery of gunpowder weapons to Yuecheng, the first wave of defense of Yuecheng would not have been so successful.

Zhou Yuan himself had good luck. Whenever he went out, he met talented people, including his living map classmates.

Later, they went to the cliff slope to look for Jiang Lianzhu and others. Although they failed, they did not encounter any danger. The people of Aquarius Kingdom did not discover them, and they did not lose their lives. It was a blessing in disguise.

Liao Jiu went as soon as he said he would.

Jiang Lianzhu was left to prescribe medicine for Erlangjun.

Jiang Lianzhu prescribed him some tranquilizers and medicines for treating tuberculosis, and told him not to worry too much, to find a quiet place with fresh air, to rest for at least half a year, to ignore external affairs, and to concentrate on self-cultivation. If she was free, she would often ride a golden eagle to come for his follow-up visit.

After a while, Zhou Yuan was found.

When Zhou Yuan heard about this, his face turned red and he felt nervous and excited.

Shangrao City is not an ordinary city, it is the fiefdom of the King of War!

He is now doing things for the War King!

Just thinking about it makes him excited.

However, no matter how excited you are, you still have to be serious about doing things.

After a few detailed conversations with Erlangjun, Erlangjun nodded at him.

That's how it was settled.

This time, Silangjun did not return to his fiefdom with Jiang Lianzhu and the others.

He did not participate in the negotiations.

He doesn't like appearing in public. Every time he has to appear, he wears a mask. He will only take off the mask in front of close people. When he met Jiang Lianzhu for the first time, he took off the mask, which means that he recognized Jiang Lianzhu and her husband and treated them as his own family.

Jiang Lianzhu later found out that none of the old generals who were accompanying Da'an State knew what Silangjun looked like.

As soon as the negotiations ended, Silangjun said that he had a general understanding of the situation and disappeared with his men.

Come and go like the wind.

This Silangjun is a reliable person. He can come from thousands of miles away to save your life even though they have never met each other. He can't be a bad person.

There are also benefits for Silangjun to hide in the dark.

Now Aquarius has handed over six new cities, and they have sent troops to take over the handover, but problems may arise at any time. If any emergency occurs, Silangjun will definitely take care of it.

He probably won't leave the border of Aquarius now. He will stay there in secret to deal with any emergencies.

Silangjun was quite interesting. When they returned to Shangrao City, someone came to report to Erlangjun that Silangjun's men had sent a large amount of treasures to the Zhanwang Mansion, which were priceless. Due to the special circumstances of the war, the treasury was temporarily sealed and the treasures had not been put into the warehouse yet. They asked whether they wanted to be stored.

Later, Jiang Lianzhu and others went to take a look and were dazzled by the sight of all the ancient relics and treasures that were priceless. However, Erlangjun seemed to be used to it and just waved his hand and put the items into the warehouse.

"Most of the things in the warehouse were found by my fourth brother. If the treasury in the capital is empty and you need emergency relief, you can ask the court to borrow them from Shangrao City... If you don't use these in the future, I will leave them to you, my sister."

After all, the King of War only has her as a daughter.

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu were really enlightened. It turned out that the name Shangrao City was not wrong and the city was rich in resources.

…

After Jiang Lianzhu and her husband settled Erlangjun, they were about to return to the capital.

Zhou Yuan stayed in Shangrao City. After Erlangjun's fever subsided and his condition improved, he would hand over the specific city affairs to him. The most important thing for him now was to get to know the situation in Shangrao City as soon as possible.

When Jiang Lianzhu and his wife were about to leave Shangrao City, Zhou Yuan called Jiang Lianzhu somewhat awkwardly.

"Cousin..."

Jiang Lianzhu was surprised that Zhou Yuan had never spoken to her in private. One reason was to avoid suspicion, and the other was that they had nothing private to talk about.

Today I called her without knowing what Liao Jiu was talking about.

"What's up?"

Zhou Yuan blushed and asked, "Cousin, the Second Princess is still in Yuecheng, right? When will the Second Princess and the others return to the capital?"

The second princess stayed voluntarily. She brought diplomats with her and waited for the five countries to send treasures and take over.

There was also the issue of inspecting six new cities, which the second princess took on herself. She had learned a lot from following the diplomatic mission. She was not afraid of death, was willing to work, had a strong personality, and was a capable person.

She is willing to do it, and Jiang Lianzhu is also willing to delegate power.

So, the second princess stayed at the border for the time being.

"I don't know when I'll be back in Beijing. I should go back once everything is done. What's wrong?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Yuan moved closer. "Cousin, is the Second Princess engaged? Or does she have any requirements for marriage?"
