"I didn't say that I wouldn't pay you, I just have to wait a few more days."

Zhao Shiqian's intention was very clear. After continuously fighting in the treasury for so many years, even though the imperial government could not raise so many soldiers, they had to first disarm even though they could not pay the military bills. The heavy burden was all on her shoulders because they wanted her to become an evil person.

No wonder he couldn't say it out loud.

She also insisted, "The Emperor has paid the military salary and pension in arrears. I will not hesitate to disarm him."

Zhao Shiqian facepalmed and laughed coldly, "My beloved one, you must make things difficult for us."

"This official dares not."

"You don't dare?" Zhao Shiqian closed the distance between them with a single step, and placed his hand on her shoulder, "Aren't you forcing me?"

His hand was on her injured shoulder, and he exerted a little weight on her, which gave her a lot of pressure.

"I am the emperor, the king of a country. However, the king of a country isn't someone who can do as he pleases. He has the final say when he wants."

"You are the Chief General, and those are your soldiers. You should be the one to tell them about disarmament."

Zhou Leping said, "This subject is the emperor's subject, and the soldiers at the border are all the emperor's soldiers. This subject does not dare to go overboard."

Zhao Shiqian's face changed, his hands became even more forceful, "Even you want to go against us?"

"This official dares not."

"You are different in my heart. I don't want to see you standing opposite me the most. Go back and think carefully. I hope your answer won't disappoint me."

Zhou Leping returned to the manor in a daze. The current Zhao Shiqian made her feel unfamiliar, but the matter of disarmament gave her an even greater headache.

When she came back, she locked herself in her study room and began to calculate the amount of money she had saved over the years. However, the more she calculated, the more her head hurt.

When night fell, she woke up from her nightmare and heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw a black figure at the door, she immediately became alert. "Who is it?" As he spoke, his hand had already reached the sword at his side.

"The general has a nightmare?"

Zhu Guanliang walked over and lit up the candle on the table. The light from the candle gradually brightened and his face became clear.

"Dr Zhu, what are you pretending for?" She put the sword away. "How do you know I have a nightmare? When did you come in? "

"The general has been shouting for people to hurry up in his dreams, but he suddenly woke up … There's sweat on his forehead and his face is pale. It's impossible for me to have such a beautiful dream. "

Zhou Leping was embarrassed: "Are you a doctor or are you just looking at people's faces?"

"I know a little about appearances."

"I feel much better now. In the future, just let Qu Tan change the medicine, the two pills you gave me were pretty useful. The wound doesn't hurt anymore, so you should give it to me more, just in case I need it when the time comes."

"Qu Tan doesn't know anything about medicine, the General's wound needs to be cleansed of the pus, if you are not careful and get infected, the injury will only get worse."

"But …"

"Didn't the general take himself for a woman?"

Zhou Leping was speechless.

"General, don't worry. I don't think of you as a woman either."

For a moment she didn't know whether to be happy or angry.

"General, please change your clothes."

Zhou Leping was still embarrassed, she slowly took off her clothes and looked around, all she could do was stare at his chin.

Zhu Guanliang suddenly reached out his hands and circled behind her head. Then, her face relaxed, and he took off her mask.

"There are no outsiders here. The general doesn't need to wear a mask."

"Aren't you an outsider?"

He smiled. "I'm a doctor."

"I forgot. Your medical skills are so high; you've seen nothing. How could you be scared by my face?"

Zhu Guanliang raised his eyes, stared at her face, and said with a serious expression.

Zhou Leping looked away, "Don't you have to speak lies with your eyes wide open in order to console me? Is the reactions of the people around you not enough for me to see myself clearly?"

She sat up straight and spread her arms, not wanting to continue the conversation.

Zhu Guanliang tactfully decided not to speak anymore.

Silence reigned in the surroundings.

Zhu Guanliang helped her clean the pus on her wound, glanced at the abacus and scribbled on paper on the table, and asked casually: "General is worrying about the pay?"

Zhou Leping looked at him with half-squinting eyes, "How do you know?"

He evenly sprinkled a layer of medicinal powder on her wound, acting very casually. "General, you should go out and take a look. Right now, everyone on the streets is talking about it.

Zhou Leping sighed lightly, "Your Majesty has concerns for Your Majesty."

Zhao Shiqian had forced her to be an evil person who destroyed bridges after rivers, and she was still helping him in the end.

"Actually, this matter isn't that difficult to accomplish either. Since the general has to face the army and obey the imperial orders, he can only fill this hole himself."

Zhou Leping looked at him and laughed, "Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm counting my money here all afternoon? If I had that much money, would I have to be so worried? "

Zhu Guanliang used his scissors to cut off the bandages on her body and helped her bind it. As they got closer and further away, the strong fragrance off her body wafted in the air. She took a deep breath and listened to him continue, "There are a lot of ways to make money.

"You have a way?"
