In fact, Qin Xingye invited Mingyue to meet him again in order to give her a clear way out for her identity.
After all, he is a person with real ability. You can't always call him "sir" and not give him anything.
Isn't this like wanting the horse to run but not giving it grass to eat
Qin Xingye is not a short-sighted person. He knows very well that the world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit. If you want to truly retain people's hearts, you must offer them great benefits.
"Zi Yu is willing to give you two choices. I wonder which one you would like to choose? One is to become a retainer of the City Lord's Mansion. You will receive the same salary and treatment as a seventh-rank county magistrate. Inside, you will be rewarded handsomely if you have good ideas."
Having said this, Qin Xingye paused before saying:
"The second is to become my confidant and my biggest trump card. Although he is hidden in the dark, he is the person Tzuyu values the most. If Tzuyu succeeds in the future, you will also be successful and famous."
If Mingyue was really the cousin Song who avenged her cousin, she would definitely choose the second one without hesitation.
After all, there is no comparison between the emperor's confidants and his retainers.
But Song Mingyue's wish is to make Jiang Yunqi look up to her, so she cannot hide in the dark. She wants Jiang Yunqi to see her. She has to stand high up, in the most conspicuous place.
Mingyue sighed in her heart, but she was frank on her face: "I choose the first one. Although I am very grateful for the city lord's appreciation, I have already sworn in front of my cousin that I will make Jiang Yunqi unable to sleep or eat and regret his past actions when he sees me. So I can't hide. I want to climb up openly and honestly, to a place that Jiang Yunqi is afraid of."
Qin Xingye was stunned, and whatever he wanted to say died down after he saw her bright eyes.
At this moment, he really believed that Mr. Song Ming had a deep affection for his cousin and came to Shu City for his cousin.
Otherwise, who would give up the supreme power so easily just to comply with the wishes of a deceased person
Song Ming is not a fool, he is just too sentimental.
However, thinking that Song Ming's only relative had passed away, he no longer had any doubts in his heart, because it was safer to use such a person without worrying that she would be threatened to turn against him by someone using her weak spot.
After Qin Xingye figured it out, he admired her even more.
So he said as if to make a promise: "Sir, you are a man of high integrity. I admire you. I believe that with your ability, you will sooner or later achieve your wish and become a high-ranking official."
Mingyue sneered in her heart, isn't this just empty talk
However, she showed a look of joy on her face, and bowed and said, "Thank you for your good words, Lord City."
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
After arranging Mingyue's position and residence, Qin Xingye also assigned Qingluan to Mingyue as a maid, saying that they were destined to be together.
As a subordinate, Mingyue naturally could not refuse her boss's arrangement.
Even though she knew in her heart that Qingluan might be a spy for the City Lord's Mansion, she still had to accept it with a grateful smile.
However, after Qingluan learned that Mingyue had come to the City Lord's Mansion for her cousin, she seemed to have misunderstood something and was no longer so awkward and shy when facing Mingyue.
But at this moment Mingyue no longer cared about Qingluan's thoughts. What she was thinking about now was how to make Qin Xingye famous.
As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
If you want to sit on the top chair, the most important thing is the will of the people.
Of course, the most important thing is the military strength. Strength can defeat skill. In the face of absolute strength, everything is a paper tiger. As long as the people's hearts and military strength are complete, even if Qin Xingye directly rebels, there will be many people who will respond and many talents who are willing to follow.
At this time, there are wars on the border from time to time, so why not...
Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly, it was a case of killing several birds with one stone.
As she was thinking, she lowered her head and picked up a pen to write down her thoughts, preparing to have Qingluan submit it to Qin Xingye later to see if it was feasible.

After going through untold hardships and fighting more than ten waves of bandits, Jiang Yunqi finally arrived at a small county town between the Song and Wu states after more than half a month.
But this place now belongs to the State of Wu, so he no longer has to worry about being suddenly pursued from behind.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Jiang Yunqi discovered that there seemed to be something pasted on the city wall. A large group of people were looking at the paper and pointing at it.
At first he was worried that it was his own portrait, so he deliberately painted his face before walking over to take a look. Unexpectedly, when he looked closely, he saw that what was posted on the wall was actually a conscription notice for the Wu State. His eyes lit up instantly.
Jiang Yunqi had been so focused on escaping on the road before that he hadn't thought about what to do in the future. But after seeing this notice, he suddenly had an idea.
Yes, he can join the army.
Which man doesn’t have a dream of becoming a general
When Jiang Yunqi was in the escort agency, he liked to study military books and play with various weapons. In addition, he possessed natural supernatural powers and was naturally luckier than others in marching and fighting.
If he could really join the army, sooner or later he would be able to return to Fengcheng, to fight for himself and avenge A Yue. At that time, he would be returning home in glory.
The more Jiang Yunqi thought about it, the more excited he became, and he almost forgot that he was still a fugitive.
It was not until he arrived at the county government office to register that he remembered that not only did he not have a travel permit, but his household registration was also from the State of Song. This was a conscription notice from the State of Wu. Could it really accommodate a Song person like him
Thinking of this, Jiang Yunqi finally suppressed his impulse and decided to wait and see for a few more days.
However, as he waited and watched, another full half month passed.
There were people coming and going in the county government office all day long. Seeing that the common people were suffering terribly and none of them were willing to let their sons go to the army, Jiang Yunqi was very anxious and wished he could replace those people.
However, registering at the county government requires not only household registration but also very strict rules. Once discovered, the consequences will be very severe, so no one dares to falsify information.
Even if Jiang Yunqi wanted to replace someone else, others would not dare to ask him to help with fraud.
Seeing that the conscription was about to end, Jiang Yunqi could no longer bear it and finally ran to the county government to register.
He didn't have much silver on him to begin with, and he was also a heavy drinker, so after half a month, all his silver was naturally used up. This kind of living off his savings would not last long.
When the county magistrate heard that a man from Song with unusual strength had come to join the conscription, he immediately frowned and said, "He is not of our race, so his heart must be different. Arrest him."
However, the master had seen how powerful Jiang Yunqi was, and couldn't bear to miss such a good general, so he shook his head and said, "I think he is a powerful person, and he will definitely have a great future. You might as well meet him in person."
The county magistrate and the legal advisor were old friends who had known each other for decades. They immediately sensed the praise in his voice and hesitated for a moment.
Finally, the county magistrate believed the waiter's words and said, "Then let's take a look!"
