Chapter 402 Text
A Year-Ending Friendship
Listening to him talk about his mission to Leguo, Li Shijian remembered an old incident, which seemed to have happened a year ago.
Ji Kangping was originally a pillar of the imperial court. At that time, he was the Minister of Honglu Temple of the third rank. He was in charge of maps, city security, garrison, beacons, distance of defense roads, and matters of nationalization.
He is also the first person in history who is not a member of the royal family but is appointed to the important position of Minister of Honglu Temple. This shows that Li Hongkuo's trust in him must not be comparable to that of ordinary people.
However, it was exactly a year ago that a war broke out in Kuala Lumpur, near the border between Qianguo and Leguo. A group of bandits crossed the border and penetrated into the Leguo territory under the fierce pursuit of Qianjun. There is nothing the Qianjun can do.
At that time, Ji Kangping, who was the minister of Honglu Temple, was sent as an envoy to Leguo, hoping to discuss with the emperor of Leguo and work together to exterminate the rebels.
Unexpectedly, when Ji Kangping was on a mission to Leguo, he was attacked on the Yangtze River in Leguo and almost died.
Because Ji Kangping was assassinated and fell into coma, the time to discuss with the emperor of Leguo was delayed, causing the rebels to flee Leguo and causing a lot of trouble. Just now, Li Hongkuo was so angry that he was demoted two levels and was demoted to this place as the governor of Xiazhou. .
Little did he know that the girl in red clothes who rescued Ji Kangping from the Yangtze River that day was actually the girl in front of him.
"It's just a matter of effort, Taigong Ji doesn't have to worry about it."
For Li Jinshu, it may be just a trivial matter, but for Ji Kangping, it is a life-saving grace!
And if Li Jinshu hadn't rescued him, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been a matter of a few days. If those bandits were allowed to cause greater trouble, they would not only be demoted two levels in a row, but also have their families confiscated and exterminated. The collapse of the sky is a disaster!
Li Jinshu smiled and shook his head and said, "I just happened to be swimming by the river that day. If anyone else saw it, they would definitely help me. Taigong Ji is too polite. Parents and juniors would not dare to take this seriously. If it was Taigong Ji, I don’t mind it, but how about we make a lifelong friendship with this junior?”
An old man in his 60s was talking about rebirth parents to a girl in charge. It looked really weird.
When you were passing by the river, you happened to rescue an envoy from a country who was attacked by bandits and fell into the river. How could you have such a coincidence?
However, even though he was approached intentionally, Li Jinshu actually saved his life, so Li Jinshu did not feel any violation at all when Ji Kangping thanked him so much.
However, Li Jinshu learned the news from Tianji Pavilion in advance, and with the idea of driving a nail in Qianguo, he deliberately went to the Yangtze River to pretend to be on the way to salvage it.
"What the eldest lady said is wrong. The grace of saving one's life is as heavy as a mountain. The eldest girl is like someone's reborn parent. How can there be any reason not to worry about it?"
"It turns out that Taigong Ji and the eldest girl had such an adventure. It must be fate and God's good will. However, the eldest girl is a young child after all. How can she be a parent? Taigong Ji didn't want to be too embarrassed and accepted the eldest girl. Just wish to make friends!"
Just when Ji Kangping was thinking about whether he should do it or not, Li Shijian intervened very naturally and built a ladder for Ji Kangping so that he could follow the trend and go down.
"Okay, just follow the eldest girl's advice! The eldest girl is affectionate and righteous. It is a blessing for me to be able to become a lifelong friend with the eldest girl!"
Finally, Li Jinshu stopped chasing him and called him his parents. He nodded with satisfaction, poured a full bowl of wine for himself and Ji Kangping, stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and handed one of the bowls to each other.
