Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 317 bite the hook
"What do you mean, National Master?"

Xueying suppressed the smile on her face, her previous charming gesture was just an act.

"Senior Wu, please go down first."

Zhao Kang spoke, but Wu Tianhu didn't say anything more and closed the door for the two of them before leaving.

Zhao Kang then said: "This time when I entered Qian Country, I gained a general understanding of the current strength of Qian Country."

"There are military camps in every state and city, and the soldiers there train day and night. However, they are all new troops, and their real combat power must be discounted."

"But, if my estimate is correct, the imperial guards in this imperial city are all veterans who have survived many battles on the battlefield. The look in their eyes can make people shudder. Miss Xueying shouldn't object to this, right?"

Xueying stretched her chin lazily and looked at Zhao Kang: "National Master, continue."

Zhao Kang was right, the [-] Imperial City Imperial Guards were indeed their biggest headache.

These people are not new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. They were brought from the battlefield by Zhou Long in accordance with Zhao Kang's instructions. Each one of them is a warrior who has fought a hundred battles and licked blood from the tip of his sword.

With these 3 people guarding the imperial city, it would be wishful thinking to attack the imperial city without an army of [-] people.

And if King Ning wants to replace him, he must act vigorously and resolutely, and he cannot delay at all, otherwise he will be delayed and the army of King Qin from all over the country will arrive.

Then the situation would be very bad for them.

Especially now, Xiao Linglong's various signs indicate that Her Majesty the Empress has become wary of them.

Therefore, Xiao Feiyu is eager to get support from Jingguo, as long as Jingguo, an ally of Qianguo, recognizes his identity.

If he kills Xiao Linglong with thunderous means, then no one in the entire Qian Kingdom will be able to shake his position.

Zhao Kang poured a cup of tea, shook the cup, and the tea in the cup began to sway, creating ripples in circles.

He said: "Right now, your country is like this cup of tea. On the surface, there are no waves, but in fact, there are undercurrents. The Imperial City's Forbidden Army should be Her Majesty's greatest support. If you want to gain the throne, you must first destroy this Forbidden Army."

"Don't you have anyone to win over the leaders of the Forbidden Army?"

Xueying frowned slightly. Xiao Feiyu had naturally thought of this kind of thing for a long time. During this period of time alone, he secretly attracted Zhou Long, the new commander of the Forbidden Army, no less than three times.

But this guy's attitude is a bit ambiguous, neither accepting nor rejecting. For a guy with a military background, he has the air of an officialdom veteran, which makes people unpredictable.

Zhao Kang smiled: "Looking at the girl's appearance, it should be that the results are not good."

Xueying said calmly: "If the Imperial Master has any good ideas, please tell me."

Zhao Kang laughed: "Mr. Qingtong is not here, and my master has not seen the person behind the girl. Can the girl make the decision on such a big matter?"

"This is natural." Xueying said.

Zhao Kang couldn't help but wonder where Xiao Feiyu, the rebellious son, found such a girl. Not to mention her strength, her status among their group seemed to be higher than that of the so-called Qing Tong.

He said: "Since the girl said so, let me tell you straight. I only need to control a few commanders who control the security of the imperial city, and use the lives of their families to threaten them, so I am not afraid that they will not submit."

Xueying was stunned, looking at Zhao Kang with strange eyes, and said something in sarcasm or admiration.

"Unexpectedly, the dignified Imperial Master Jingguo could be so despicable and shameless."

Zhao Kang sneered: "It's just each other. Aren't the girls and others also wolves with obvious ambitions?"

"A dirty game requires dirty players. There is no need to pretend to be arrogant. Even if the girl and others really succeed in the future, the final record in the history books will still be that they were in an unfair position, so why bother pretending to be noble?"

"Maybe you often say that listening to you is better than ten years of reading. Xueying has learned a lesson." Xueying chuckled and changed the topic: "But this alone is not enough."

"Yes, if you want to destroy the imperial city, this alone is not enough. The biggest problem is that you do not have enough troops in the imperial capital."

Xueying nodded: "Originally there was an elite force of 5 people outside the imperial capital, but when Zhou Qi attacked Gan, this army was destroyed on the battlefield."

Zhao Kang was shocked. He naturally knew what this army Xueying was talking about.

Unexpectedly, King Ning actually took control of this army early. This traitor was really well hidden!
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Zhao Kang's expression suddenly changed: "I don't have any soldiers, I can lend them to you."

"What did you say!"

Even Xueying couldn't help being startled: "Lend us troops! How can we borrow them!"

Zhao Kang grinned: "I have my own solution for this matter. Even though the girl is my favorite, Zhao Long, it is best not to talk about such a big matter without meeting the rightful owner."

Staring at Zhao Kang, Xueying spoke after a moment: "Can the National Adviser guarantee that the troops will be sent?"

"Of course, to be precise, I am lending troops to Qian Country, and your country will definitely not refuse." Zhao Kang vowed.

Xueying stood up: "Then please ask the Imperial Master to wait for the news."

"Let's go slowly without seeing him off." Zhao Kang said.

After Xueying left, Wu Tianhu walked in from the outside and yawned: "Did you negotiate?"

"She won't be around to listen, right?" Zhao Kang warned.

Wu Tianhu sneered: "Who do you think I am? He is hiding quietly within a hundred meters around me. Even my brother who is the emperor doesn't have this ability."

"That's good."

Zhao Kang nodded: "That's almost it. Now I'm just waiting for the fish to bite the hook. But I still have to find out all the forces they hide in the dark. Otherwise, even if I get rid of them, there will still be hidden dangers left."

"Seek the skin of a tiger, be careful of being injured by a tiger, you better be careful."

Perhaps because he was half a master of Zhao Kang, Wu Tianhu couldn't help but give him an instruction.

Zhao Kang smiled: "Don't worry. When people are close to success, it is easier to let down their guard. They came to me before I even went to them. This shows that my adopted son can no longer hold back."

Prince Ning's Mansion, in the nine-story tower.

Xiao Feiyu listened to the woman behind him repeating everything, his hands clenched subconsciously, and his brows were squeezed together: "Is he so confident?"

"This person is very dangerous. Since he can put down such wild words, he must have a plan in mind."

Xueying said softly: "I really didn't expect that Jingguo would produce such an enigmatic person."

"In that case, I really have to go and meet him." Xiao Feiyu chuckled.

Zhao Long?

Let's see how many surprises you can bring me.

As the lanterns illuminated the branches, the imperial capital, which had already lifted the curfew, became lively again.

The receptionist of the State Guesthouse sent a letter. Zhao Kang opened it and took a look at it before shattering it into powder.

The fish has bitten the hook!
