The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 408
The water thief thought for a while: "This Xinguo has indeed developed very well, and it has been able to grow from two counties to now spanning four counties. I think the emperor of this Xinguo has great talents and is worthy of our support."

"That's right, the weak point of Xinguo now lies in the navy, which is also the place where I am suitable to show my talents, and the salary will definitely not be bad."

"The leader, why don't we defect to Xinguo?"

The two horses were still galloping along the official road, suddenly, Gan Ning reined in the reins, and the horse stopped immediately.

The other horse also stopped, and the water thief looked at Gan Ning.

Now the two horses have only reached Tuan County, and have not yet entered Linchuandong County.

"It's just that I just refused. If I go back now, wouldn't I..."

"Boss, you can bend and stretch. If he really wants to recruit you, he won't care about it. If he does, he won't really recruit you. We can go to Liangguo again then."

"Makes sense."

Gan Ning's eyes lit up, "In this case, let's turn back."

Seeing that Gan Ning had made up his mind, the water thief nodded, "Okay."

The two horses turned back in the middle of the official road and galloped towards Nan County again.

At this moment, Ren Tian was wandering around Nan County, feeling depressed for a while. Originally, he wanted to recruit Gan Ning directly without bloodshed, but he didn't expect that Gan Ning didn't intend to join Xinguo in the end.

The people on the side were still hawking goods, all kinds of snacks, such as candied haws, small noodles, etc., Lu Zhonglian followed behind, and the little eunuchs next to him and some big insiders who protected Ren Tian also scattered. Beside.

"How is the situation in Pingyuan County?"

Ren Tian asked.

Lu Zhonglian said: "Don't worry, my lord, the new governor of Pingyuan County is very capable. The Duhufu has been completed, and all those small countries have joined. It won't take long for them to become dependent on our new country. The major cities are already There are official roads to be built, and another one is to build horse farms and livestock farms on a large scale. By then, these livestock in Pingyuan County will also be able to supply other counties in Xinguo."

Ren Tian nodded, Lu Zhonglian hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Your Majesty, does Gan Ning really want to surround and kill him?"

"Lu Aiqing, with Gan Ning's strength, if he doesn't join our new country, but instead joins a hostile country, it will definitely become a stumbling block for our new country. Hu Che'er also came to the island before, and you said that he still made friends with Gan Ning. Pass, you should also have a judgment on his strength."

"Yes, although General Hu is brave, he had exchanges with Gan Ning in the first few rounds, but after more than a dozen rounds, General Hu couldn't hold on anymore. Gan Ning is indeed extremely brave."

Ren Tian looked at a brothel beside him. This brothel was quite prosperous, with a height of three floors. Compared with the brothel he had seen for the first time before, it had been upgraded many times, and there were also a lot of customers coming and going.

"Such a fierce general, how can I let him join Liangguo with peace of mind? Forget it, let's not talk about it, just take a good walk in Nan County with me."

Ren Tian was a little bored and wanted to relax. During this period of time, he didn't find any talents during his private visits. However, the prosperity of Nanxian County can be seen with the naked eye, and there were no major disturbances in several departments of the imperial court.

Arriving at the tavern, Ren Tian sat down to drink, but not long after, a guard hurried over.

"Sir, the leader you met before is back."

"Back again?"

Ren Tian just raised the wine glass and put it down again, looking at the guard, a little unbelievable.

"Yes, they returned to Nan County."

A gleam of joy appeared in Ren Tian's eyes, could it be that Gan Ning had figured it out and wanted to join the Xin Kingdom?
Lu Zhonglian on the side also looked at the guard, and then at Ren Tian: "Your Majesty, do you want to let that General Gan come to see you?"

"No, take him to a quiet yard, and I'll see him."

"Yes."

The guard went out quickly, and not long after, the guard came back and said that the arrangements were made.

Ren Tian stood up: "Let's go, Lu Aiqing, come with me again."

"According to the order."

Lu Zhonglian smiled and stood up, while Ren Tian took two jugs of old Jimo wine, and went to the courtyard again.

Arriving at the yard along the river, it seemed extremely quiet. It was used by Jing Ke before, but now it is vacant.

In the yard, Gan Ning and the water thief from before were standing in the yard. Seeing Ren Tian appearing in the yard, Gan Ning couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"General Gan...

Ren Tian smiled and walked over: "General Gan has gone and returned, I am really ecstatic, but has General Gan figured it out?"

Gan Ning took a deep breath, then immediately half-knelt down.

"The last general, Gan Ning, is willing to join the Xin Kingdom!"

As soon as Gan Ning knelt down, the water thief behind him also knelt down immediately.

Ren Tian was overjoyed, it really succeeded!
"General Gan, please hurry up, from now on. You are the commander of the navy of Xinguo, the commander of the navy of Xinguo, with the help of General Gan, Xinguo is really like a tiger with wings!"

Ren Tian smiled, and then put the old Jimo wine he bought on the table: "General Gan, come, I really respect you."

With a smile on Gan Ning's face, he picked up the wine glass and Ren Tian drank it down with him.

Taking this opportunity, Ren Tian also took a look at Gan Ning's attributes.
