When Yueying arrived at Hua'an County, Zhao Ji had already returned to Hua'an County with the cured patient.

Now that the flood has receded, the farmland in Hua'an County that was submerged by water has gradually emerged.

Zhao Ji took these people who had just recovered and returned to their original residence.

Let the strong soldiers help build houses and ditches for drainage every day.

It really helps these people restore their homes.

All three thousand soldiers were divided into small groups, but their efficiency was extremely high.

There is no county governor or county magistrate in Hua'an County now. The subordinates of the former county governor and county magistrate were mostly killed by Zhao Ji for participating in the alive burial incident.

Nowadays, the governance and public security of the county are basically the responsibility of Zhao Ji.

So Zhao Ji has the final say.

However, after personally treating the disease and administering medicine to him, the people expressed their endless admiration for Zhao Ji.

As long as Zhao Ji said to go east, they would never go west.

Even when Zhao Ji said he wanted to kill someone, they handed him the knife.

Today, a new stone tablet has been built in Hua'an County, on which is written the great achievements of Zhao Ji in saving people.

Zhao Ji was a little amused and helpless when he saw it.

"I came here on the orders of the Emperor. You should thank the current Emperor!"

Zhao Ji didn't dare let these people only remember him, otherwise it would be bad if he buried a landmine in the future and made the emperor suspicious of him.

At least it's not possible at this stage. Zhao Ji still has to rely on the emperor to deal with the prime minister.

Some of the people with bad tempers said directly: "The two dog officials before were also here on the emperor's orders. Lord Zhao, we all remember everything you did. If you don't like this kind of thing, we won't do it..."

The stone tablet was buried in the ground overnight.

When Yueying arrived, what she saw was no longer the Hua'an County with corpses everywhere.

When Yueying brought the medicinal herbs over, Zhao Ji was organizing the people to drain the last batch of flooded fields.

"Are you looking for Lord Zhao? Lord Zhao is over here!" Originally, when Yueying walked to the territory of Hua'an County, she could feel the people's rejection of outsiders.

But when Yueying said that her medicinal herbs were from Zhao Ji, the people suddenly changed their attitude and even rushed forward to lead the way.

Originally Yueying didn't know why this happened until she saw Zhao Ji's figure in the field.

While she was staring in a daze, Zhao Ji had already walked in front of her.

"Chief Yue has delivered the things. Thank you very much. There is one more thing I need to trouble you with!"

The request for medicinal herbs in the letter was just a cover. Zhao Ji actually wanted the emperor to send Yueying to escort the two corrupt officials.

During this period of time, Zhao Ji and these soldiers have blocked countless waves of assassins who were trying to kill corrupt officials.

Zhao Ji could already sense that someone in the court was getting restless and could no longer sit still.

It is estimated that many people do not want these two corrupt officials to be forced back to Kyoto and be forced to open their mouths to say things that they do not want the emperor to know.

Yueying came back to her senses and moved slightly, and she knew what Zhao Ji was planning.

"Is this the former governor and magistrate of Hua'an County?"

Yueying looked at the two thin figures in the prison and asked with some confusion.

You know, as a county governor and a county magistrate who embezzled the disaster relief money of Hua'an County and extorted a lot of people's money to enjoy themselves, they should not be so thin!

Zhao Ji sneered. Hearing Zhao Ji's voice, the two corrupt officials trembled obviously and buried their heads even lower.

"These two adults who love the people like their own children are weak and have been infected with the disease. Unfortunately, the heavens have no mercy on them. They just recovered a while ago, and they don't like to eat or drink, so they have become a little thinner."

Zhao Ji spoke with a smile, but his voice sounded like the whisper of a devil to the ears of the two corrupt officials.

Yueying naturally knew about the lawsuit involved, but was too lazy to pursue it. As for these two corrupt officials, it was not certain whether they could keep their heads, so who cared whether they lost weight or not!

"I will keep a close eye on these two people." Yueying and Zhao Ji walked into the dark and said in a low voice.

Zhao Ji nodded: "During this period, there have been as many as thirteen assassinations by people from the Jianghu, not to mention the unpredictable secret guards. There have also been more than ten assassinations by some guards. I'm afraid there are many people involved!"

When Yueying heard this, her face became solemn. If it was an assassination of this magnitude, she had originally planned to take the person away directly. But now, there was no way for her and her subordinates who followed her this time to prevent it.

Zhao Ji also knew about this situation, but he didn't mention it. He just smiled faintly and looked at Yueying's embarrassed expression.

Yueying hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke to Zhao Ji: "How about I go with you and take the people back?"

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows, leaned close to Yueying's ear and said, "If a beauty asks for something, I will naturally agree!"

Yueying's cheeks flushed, she raised her eyes and glared at Zhao Ji, but she was still full of charm.

When Zhao Ji set out to return to the capital, he did not tell the people in Hua'an County.

But when he set out at dawn, he looked back and saw a sea of ​​heads.

These people didn't say anything, but it seemed like they said everything.

Everyone's eyes were on Zhao Ji.

At this moment, even Zhao Ji had some realization.

Yueying said with deep emotion: "It seems that during this period of time, you are not the parent official, but you are better than the parent official!"

Zhao Ji smiled and turned around and said, "Let's go back. There is still a tough battle to fight when we get back. I don't know if it is safe to go back to the city."

Zhao Ji deliberately did not tell anyone about his return to the city this time. Even Tian Zhao only found out about it right before he left.

Although Zhao Ji got along well with these soldiers, he also knew that these strong men actually had simple minds.

But there are always those know-it-alls who like to gather information and have ways to infer some information from gossip.

I have to say that Zhao Ji’s decision this time was very correct.

Until we were almost reaching the capital, we had not encountered a single assassination attempt.

However, just when they were about to see the royal capital, a group of masked men in black completely surrounded Zhao Ji and his companions.

Tian Zhao looked unhappy: "Sir, roughly estimated that their number is at least the same as ours, or even more. This is going to be a fierce battle!"

Even Yueying's expression looked a little solemn.

"I'm afraid it's not the same. The other side has at least 4,000 people. This is the mountain closest to the capital. Let's hold on. When the time comes, we can light torches on the mountain. The city's defenders will definitely see us."

Yueying’s idea was a good one.

However, Zhao Ji sighed: "Who can guarantee that the defenders of the royal city will report the situation here? Who can guarantee that the generals who receive the news from the defenders will come to support?"

After hearing this, Yueying and Tianzhao were speechless.

Zhao Ji drew a long sword from behind him, rushed forward with an upright figure, and his voice echoed around.

"The only person you can rely on is yourself!"
