Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 316 Increased Odds
"Cough cough."

Someone coughed twice. It was the old master Yang Qianyun. He looked at Zhao Kang and said with some displeasure: "Master Zhao."

At the same time, like Fang Lin, he felt a little weird. There was another Zhao Guoshi, but this guy looked much more handsome than Zhao Kang.

Thinking of Zhao Kang, the old master sighed slightly in his heart.

Zhao Kang realized that he had been a little rude by staring at Xiao Linglong just now, but he was not embarrassed at all. He smiled and saluted: "Zhao Long, the Imperial Master of Jingguo, has met Her Majesty the Empress Daqian. I had to meet Her Majesty the Holy Emperor before. Rong, for a moment he was astonished and made His Majesty laugh."

Many officials nodded secretly. This man had a calm demeanor and a calm mind. No wonder he, like Zhao Kang, had taken the position of a national advisor at a young age.

Xiao Linglong said calmly: "The Imperial Master does not need to be polite, someone will give you a seat."

Although Zhao Kang's eyes just gave her a strange feeling, she didn't pay too much attention to it.

She was used to seeing this kind of look. It was almost always like this for men who met her for the first time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Kang responded and sat on the chair brought by the eunuch, feeling quite like he was in another world.He glanced at the two sworn enemies, Lin Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Jinsheng, the Imperial Tutor.

Zhao Kang smiled playfully.

You two bitches, these two heads will be placed on your necks first.

Thinking about it, he looked at Xiao Linglong and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, our Majesty is grateful for your country, and has sent me a hundred thousand pieces of silk and 30 taels of silver to express your gratitude."

Many officials lamented that Jingguo was still interesting enough.

Xiao Linglong smiled faintly: "My country, Qian, is deeply grateful for your friendship. I hope that the two countries of Qian and Jing will be in good health forever."

"My emperor thinks so too. In addition to returning the gift this time, my emperor specially told me that if Her Majesty the Empress needs anything, as long as our Jingguo can help, we will definitely lend a helping hand."

"Then I will thank His Majesty Emperor Jing here first."

After a brief condolence, Xiao Linglong ordered a banquet to be accompanied by civil and military officials to entertain Zhao Kang.

Xiao Xuance came to the imperial study. After walking in, he looked at his eldest sister and asked softly: "I heard that someone from Jingguo is here?"

"Last time Yang Gan sent a gift, this time they are returning the gift. Jingguo also has an additional national teacher, also named Zhao, called Zhao Long."

Xiao Linglong forced a smile and her eyes fell on a picture hanging on the wall.

Gou benefits the life and death of the country, how can it be avoided because of misfortunes and blessings?

It was Zhao Kang who deceived Xiao Xuance, and His Highness the Prince wrote it down to fool her in order to avoid being beaten.

Xiao Xuance pulled up a stool and sat down, and said softly: "Since there are people from Jingguo, why not let them help? Sister, both inside and outside the court, you have a cruel temper and kill innocent officials indiscriminately."

"I'm afraid there are many people involved in this situation. The purpose is to make your downfall more logical in the future."

Since knowing that Zhao Kang died, Her Majesty is not the only one who has made everyone feel changed.

There is also Xiao Xuance, the late emperor's son who started out as a straw bag and worked hard. Every day, just reading the past memorials, he could see it in the middle of the night. He never slept in the morning class, and he was always the first one to come. .

That strong self-discipline shocked a group of bachelors in Zhan Shifu.

Now, from some rumors coming into the palace, it is guessed that someone is secretly causing trouble and preparing to bring about Xiao Linglong's downfall.

Hearing this, Xiao Linglong did something very unbecoming of a king. She curled up her legs and stepped on the chair. She hugged her calves with both hands and gently pressed her chin against her knees. She seemed to be thinking about something, but she said: "They want to Let them build momentum. As long as the leader is dead and can't sit on this chair, that's fine."

Xiao Xuance's heart trembled, and his eyes were fixed on the woman who seemed to be indifferent, his eldest sister.Now he can already guess some of Xiao Linglong's thoughts.

After walking out of the imperial study, his steps paused and then quickened.

My eldest sister has already lived such a tiring life in the first half of her life, so I will never let her get hurt in the slightest again!

the other side.

Zhao Kang simply dealt with the civil and military officials of the Qian Kingdom and ended the banquet. He was actually sitting with Lin Yu, Zhao Jinsheng and others, and he was afraid that he could not help but break their necks.

As soon as he returned to the state hotel, Zhao Kang opened the door and saw a veil of misty clothes. He raised the corners of his lips and said, "Miss Xueying returned home very quickly."

The woman's posture is charming, and her every move and smile are extremely moving: "I thought that after Zhao Guoshi met Her Majesty the Empress, mortal women like Xueying would not be able to fall into the eyes of the Imperial Master."

"Hey, this is a bit too modest."

Zhao Kang stepped forward and sat across the table from the woman and said with a smile: "Although Her Majesty the Empress is kind, after all, she is sitting on that dragon chair, high up in the sky, and she is not as close as a girl."

"The Imperial Master's Qiaoyu must have many confidantes. Even if the empress is aloof, she will eventually step down from the throne. It depends on whether the Imperial Master wants to or not."

Without going around in circles with Zhao Kang, Xueying revealed the purpose of coming here.

Zhao Kang clicked his tongue: "Are you people from the Qian Kingdom so bold? Aren't you afraid that people will be dissatisfied?"

"Who is the snake and who is the elephant? It's up to you to decide who is the snake and who is the elephant."

Zhao Kang: "I don't understand this. In the previous battle, the whole country of Qian fought against hundreds of thousands of Zhou Qi's elites. After the first battle, all the elites in the country were killed and injured, although all that remained were remnants of the new army. "

"But if you want to do anything, you must have a military strength of more than [-], right?"

"With so many people, why didn't you see any movement during the previous battle? Could it be that just relying on the girl's skills, you can help the people behind you to take over? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Xueying said lightly: "How much strength we have is not so easy for outsiders to know."

"That would be difficult."

Zhao Kang smiled and said: "There are too many uncertain factors."

Xueying frowned: "What we want is for your country to stand by and watch for once. Is this difficult?"

Zhao Kang still smiled: "But my master no longer wants to sit on the wall and watch."

"Huh? You want?"

Xueying's mind suddenly moved. She looked outside the room and saw the open door. The wine gourd was thrown up and then dropped, and was caught firmly in someone's hand.

Wu Tianhu leaned against the door frame and turned the palm-sized red wine gourd. The strong pressure suddenly made people feel as if they were being stared at by a tiger, and they shuddered.

Zhao Kang said calmly: "If I capture the girl and go to Her Majesty the Empress to receive the reward, I should be able to get a lot of rewards, right?"

"I'm afraid it's not enough."

Although Wu Tianhu is a bit higher in cultivation, the two of them are still in the same realm. Even if Zhao Kang really wants to capture her, it will not be easy.

The woman smiled coquettishly, with a charming and beautiful posture: "Moreover, is the Imperial Master willing to do it?"

Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "It's just because you can't bear it, so I'm here to increase your chances of winning."
