Chapter 184: one year later

He is in charge of the city, she is in charge of him?
Could it be that the legendary leader does not need to be capable, but only needs to be able to employ people? !
Xie Linlang realized it instantly, then looked at Qin Jue and said with embarrassment.
"Then how hard you work..."
At this moment, they had passed the congratulatory voice and arrived at Xie Linlang's main house. After Qin Jue took her in, he closed the door and said seriously.
"It's not hard, after all, I am not helping you for free."
Xie Linlang knows it well! Isn't it just labor compensation? She can! The silver on the red post just now made her look blind! She is rich now!
And sometimes it's easy to get a daughter, but it's hard to find talent. For someone with management ability like Qin Jue, she is willing to pay any salary!
So she stood by the bed and said proudly, "That's for sure! Say it, just open your mouth for whatever reward you want, and a frown will count as me losing!"
Qin Jue took a deep look at her when he heard the words. Suddenly, he reached out and gave Xie Linlang a hand, pushing her directly onto the bed!
The red stickers suddenly fell, Xie Linlang stared at what was going on, and when she came back to her senses, she was already rolling with Qin Jue!
Qin Jue lightly encircled her, resting her chin on her forehead, and sighed.
"I'll talk about the next thing later. Let's rest now. After so long, aren't you sleepy?"
He didn't say that Xie Linlang hadn't felt it yet, but when he said that, the sleepiness of having been on the road for days came to her heart. She rubbed her eyes and muttered.
"The people outside are still waiting for us. It's not good to sleep like this..."
"They will understand."
Xie Linlang thought so too. She leaned on his arm and found a comfortable position, but suddenly realized that it was wrong!
"You want to sleep with me?!"
Qin Jue held down her almost bouncing body, closed her eyes, and said, "We will sleep together on the way here. We are all men. Why not?"
This, can this be the same? There is a carriage on the way here. Isn’t that a special case?
When Xie Linlang was about to refuse righteously, Qin Jue hugged her tighter, buried her face deeply in her neck, and muttered.
"When I came to Xiangcheng a year ago, you hugged me to sleep on the road. It was so cold at that time, but with you, it won't be cold..."
Xie Linlang moved her mouth when she felt the teenager's inadvertent attachment, but she didn't say anything.
Also, when I came to Xiangcheng before, she took him to sleep. He was cold all over, and she had to hug him to prevent him from getting sick.
Besides, when she used to stay overnight in the palace, she also got into Qin Jue's bed, but there was nothing in fact, she was flat anyway.
Thinking of this, Xie Linlang didn't resist, lest he be suspected.
She originally thought that squeezing a bed with someone would make her sleep uneasy, but she didn't want to, she fell asleep soon...
Just when her breathing became even, Qin Jue's closed eyes slowly opened.
There seemed to be light in his clear eyes, he stared at her face for a long time, and finally showed a simple smile.
This is the greatest joy he has discovered during this period of time, being able to sleep with the person he likes, as if the distance has become intimate.
...
In this way, time passed, and soon, a year passed.
Several major events happened in Daqin this year!
The first major event was that Concubine Die was pregnant. The emperor was overjoyed and wanted to make her a noble concubine, but her origin was destined to fail the emperor's expectations.
When the emperor was fighting against the court for the concubine Die, Concubine Die had a miscarriage. The emperor was furious and severely punished many people, making the people in the capital panic and the situation tense.
The second major event is the establishment of the Northland, the country is named Tianyuan. Although they have not completely unified all the tribes, under the iron-blooded rule of the early emperor, the unification of the Northland is completely a matter of time.
Looking at the trend of consolidation in the North, those people in the capital are also a little anxious. They didn't think there was anything before, thinking that they were just fighting each other and fighting for power. Now once they establish the country, the situation is completely different.
Only then did they have a sense of vigilance, for fear that these people would go south after the fight in the north.
The third incident is related to the Numa Kingdom. Two months ago, when the emperor had his birthday, the Numa Kingdom sent his prince to congratulate him. As a result, the prince died in the capital inexplicably. Because of this incident, the relationship between Numa and Daqin became tense. Many people in the city are a little worried, will there be war?
These three things happened very close together, so they added together, it really gave people a feeling of precariousness.
But none of this affected Xiangcheng.
Thanks to the unswerving efforts of the rebel slaves, the new city wall in Xiangcheng has been completed. Not only is it tall and stable, it has also been expanded a lot on the original foundation to accommodate more people.
Because of these people's merits, Xie Linlang absorbed them, and issued a piece of glass "identity card" to each Xiangcheng citizen.
In order to ensure that it cannot be imitated, Xie Linlang deliberately burned a batch of green glass, not for sale, and polished them into pendants that can be worn around her neck.
Inside the pendant, there are silver Arabic numerals. No one knows how it is written, only that everyone is different.
With this kind of identity symbol and the re-issued Xiangcheng document, Xiangcheng's management and control have become more stringent. Most of the spies can't get in and naturally can't figure out the situation in the city.
But in the city, you can easily know the news from the outside world...
I saw a newly-built high platform standing in the middle of the newly-built square in the city. Three echo walls were erected on the platform, and a circle of stone-faced tables and chairs were repaired in a fan shape under the platform. At this time, it was full of people.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar suddenly walked up to the stage with a letter, interrupted the "open piano lessons" of the women's bookstore, and said to everyone below.
"I just received the news that Numa State returned our Qin State's apocalypse and said that they don't want to compensate, as long as Da Qin surrenders the real murderer, they will be fair to their dead prince!"
"But there is no clue as to why the prince of Swamp Kingdom died. After he retired that day, he locked himself in the house and wrote a letter. After that, his majesty called out urgently. Cool thoroughly.
Several months have passed, and the capital still cannot find any suspects. It can be preliminarily determined that it was sent by spies from other countries. "
After he finished speaking, regardless of the reaction of the people below, he stepped down and left, and then the women's bookshop course continued without being disturbed.
This "Qiyue Terrace" was designed by Xie Linlang based on the Dragon City River Sacrificial Terrace in Beijing.
Even without a loudspeaker, the movements on the stage can be heard clearly.
On weekdays, there will be troupes singing operas, or some people telling books. If neither is available, there will be some public classes that teach common sense. Therefore, there are always many people staying in the audience, which is one of Xiangcheng’s entertainment. .
