As soon as lunch was finished on the second day, Song Ke went to the mansion and found Xue Ning.

When Xue Ning saw Song Ke, he pursed his lips and showed a smile: "Lord Song, sit down first, drink a cup of tea, and moisten your throat." ”

"Thank you, Lord Shiren. Song Ke waved his hand towards Xue Ning and sat down opposite her, "I heard that the county lord has made a marriage with the prince, and I think I will become a princess in the near future." ”

Xue Ning was a little surprised that Song Ke would mention this matter, his face was slightly stagnant, and then he nodded with a smile: "Yes, but the wedding date has not been set yet." This time, the bandits will also rely on Lord Song, and when they get married in the future, they will definitely invite Lord Song to come together. ”

Li Yinhong is the prince, and the marriage of the prince is a big event. Originally, only officials in the capital were eligible to participate in this marriage, and officials like Song Ke in the outer city were not eligible to participate.

But now Xue Ning said that he would let him go to the capital to attend her wedding with Li Yinhong, which was a huge honor for Song Ke.

Song Ke naturally showed a bright smile and nodded heavily, "This is naturally good, thank you Lord County." ”

"You don't have to thank me, Lord Song has worked extremely hard to deal with the flood this time. It's a pity that the emperor only saw Lord Li's contribution to the flood control, but ignored the adult. If you want me to say, if there is no Lord Song to work among the people, I am afraid that this flood will not end so easily. ”

In order to deal with this flood, the emperor specially sent Li Da to come, and Li Da also gave results, and these achievements were all recorded on Li Da's head, as for the local government Song Ke, it was not mentioned by the emperor.

Now that Song Ke heard Xue Ning's words, his face was a little bad, but he still tried his best to keep the smile on his face: "This is thanks to Lord Li's leadership, otherwise this flood would not have been managed so well." ”

"How can this be said to be thanks to Master Li? No matter how capable Master Li is, it is the first time he has come here, and he has no understanding of the local situation. If it weren't for Lord Song to assist by his side, I'm afraid that no matter how great Master Li's ability is, there will be no way to achieve it. ”

Xue Ning's words made Song Ke very useful, no matter what, the emperor did not praise him a word, and completely counted all the credit on Li Da's head, which made him very uncomfortable in his heart.

Now there is a person who says that this is thanks to him, which of course makes Song Ke very happy, and what he did is finally seen by someone.

"The county lord has an overreputation, and the minister, as the parent official here, should do these things. Master Li Da is the first to come, and he doesn't understand the situation, so he should do more. ”

Xue Ning saw that Song Ke had taken the hook, and his smile was even brighter: "Don't worry, Lord Song, I see everything that Lord Song has done." After I go back, I will definitely say a few more kind words for Lord Song in front of the emperor. ”

Hearing her say this, Song Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand to Xue Ning: "Then thank you to the county lord." ”

"This is what Lord Song deserves, and there is no need to be polite. Xue Ning pursed his lips and raised his hand, "Lord Song thinks about the people so much, it is really a blessing for the people, and it is also a blessing for my dynasty." ”

Song Ke was a little embarrassed by Xue Ning's words: "This is what I should do as a courtier, and I am very happy to be able to contribute to the country." ”

"It's naturally best for Lord Song to think like this. But Lord Song, I don't know if there is any arrangement for me to visit the people?"

Being mentioned by Xue Ning like this, Song Ke remembered his main purpose for coming today: "The minister came this time to tell the county lord that this matter has been arranged, I wonder if the county lord will have time tomorrow morning to go with the minister?"

"Naturally, there is, and I am here to be able to comfort these people. Lord Song just needs to arrange it, and tell me a time in advance. ”

Song Ke nodded in response to Xue Ning's words: "Then early tomorrow morning, the minister will come to pick up the county lord, I don't know if the prince wants to go together?"

"He won't go, he came this time to suppress the bandits, as for the matter of condolences to the people, I can come forward, and I will bother Lord Song. Xue Ning stood up and curtsied at Song Ke, giving him enough face.

Song Ke obviously didn't expect Xue Ning to salute him, you must know that the person in front of him is the county lord of the emperor. The county lord saluted himself, which was a great honor.

After sending Song Ke away, Xue Ning restrained his smile, sat down on the stool, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Cold, you will go with me tomorrow and follow me every step of the way." ”

"Yes, don't worry, Miss, I will definitely protect Miss. It's just that Leng Yi doesn't understand one thing, I wonder if I can ask Miss to answer it for me?"

Xue Ning put down the teacup, raised his eyes to look at Song Ke, and nodded: "You say." ”

"Miss's current identity is the emperor's own county lord, and her status is noble, why do you want to bow to a government official?" Xue Ning's current identity is much more noble than Song Ke's, and he bowed to him, and Leng only felt that he had lost his identity a little.

Xue Ning didn't expect that this was what Leng Yi said he wanted to ask, and pursed his lips and chuckled: "If it weren't for giving him these honors, how would he believe that I really felt grateful for what he had done, so he let down his guard against me?"

"What does Miss mean is to find some clues from Song Ke? But this is a big crime of deceiving the king, I am afraid that they must be careful and will not leave the slightest trace. ”

Xue Ning naturally knew that it would not be easy to get any evidence from Song Ke. But she believes that as long as Song Ke and Li Da do something unseemly, they will definitely leave some clues.

"Leng Yi, what do you think is the relationship between Song Ke and Li Da?"

Leng Yi didn't understand why Xue Ning suddenly mentioned the relationship between the two people, and frowned: "Since the two of them can hide from the world, they naturally cooperated to do this, and the relationship should be allies." ”

"Yes, the two of them must have cooperated in this matter. So do you think the relationship between the two of them is close?"

When Xue Ning was talking to Song Ke, Leng Yi had been listening to her, she recalled Song Ke's words just now, and shook her head: "This Li Da can be regarded as robbing Song Ke of the credit, if there is no Li Da, Song Ke is only afraid that he will be able to be promoted this time." ”

"Yes, if you are robbed of your credit and can't be promoted, this can be regarded as hatred. If this is the case, then why don't we take advantage of this contradiction between them and let us benefit?"

Xue Ning pursed his lips and smiled. Since it is difficult to find fault between the two of them from the outside, it is better to disintegrate from the inside. Let them kill each other, and when the road is out, Xue Ning and Li Yinhong will be able to catch them all.

Knowing what Xue Ning meant, Leng Yi suddenly realized, and gave up: "It's because I didn't keep up with Miss's thoughts, I'm confused." ”
