Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 326 Return to Qi again
Knowing that Lin Erniu rewarded him for scientific research, Zhao Kang was relieved and asked him not to insist on researching poisons.

Just focus all your attention on this microscope, and Lin Erniu immediately promised to complete the task.

Wu Guanhai and Gao Yuan on the side couldn't help but sigh that the talented people under Zhao Kang were really shocking.

Because the Longwu soldiers were stationed some distance away from the imperial capital, and it was already dark now, Zhao Kang and Wu Guanhai did not leave to return to the imperial capital. They stayed in the military camp for one night, and then rode back to the imperial capital the next day.

Returning to the mansion, Zhao Kang immediately set out to ask Qi State Chen Bing to intimidate Qian State into Youzhou.

At the same time, he also told Wu Rulong about his overall plan and heard that Zhao Kang wanted to borrow [-] soldiers.

Prime Minister Chen Kai said with some worry: "Master, is this possible? Then Prince Ning Xiao Feiyu may be wary. If he steals the chicken but loses the rice, it will be bad."

"I have considered this, but these troops and horses are lent to Qian Guo, not Xiao Feiyu."

Zhao Kang smiled: "Even if he is on guard, he can't do anything. According to my estimate, he doesn't have many troops hidden in secret, only about thirty to fifty thousand at most."

"Our 5 people are enough to control all situations."

Wu Rulong nodded: "Then everything will be decided by the national master. We, Jing Guo, will fully cooperate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will leave immediately."

Seeing Zhao Kang happily saying goodbye, Chen Kai sighed: "Your Majesty, Master Zhao's thoughts are still on Qianguo after all."

Wu Rulong didn't refute, just chuckled and nodded: "Yes, but for us, we can do enough. This guy will never repay a favor with a grudge. Besides, the prince has a good relationship with him. So there is nothing to worry about. .”

Why couldn't Zhao Kang's thoughts be elsewhere in the country? Others didn't know about him, but they knew it clearly through Ye Hongxue.

The relationship between Zhao Kang and the empress Xiao Linglong.

However, Wu Rulong also has confidence in Zhao Kang. At least now, none of Zhao Kang's plans have harmed Jing Guo's interests.

On the contrary, he helped Jingguo make a lot of profits before.

After leaving the palace, Zhao Kang simply packed his bags without any fanfare and rode on the fast horse that Ye Hongxue had prepared long ago to go to Qi State to visit the newly appointed Prime Minister of Qi State.

Traveling lightly and quickly, Zhao Kang took eight days to arrive at Shengjing, the imperial capital of Qi.

The route was familiar to me from the last time I came here, so I led the horse straight to the gate of the imperial city. It was still early morning and the officials were all attending court.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Zhao Kang saw officials leaving the imperial city one after another.

He cheered up and soon saw Zhou Yue, who was looking refreshed and dressed in red official uniform.

He immediately smiled and shouted: "Master Zhou!"

Zhou Yue was stunned and looked over following the voice. He was startled when he saw Zhao Kang. He quickly walked over without moving the sedan chair, thinking that he had seen it wrong.

"Zhao...Master Zhao?"

Zhao Kang said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than a month. Brother Zhou is separated."

Zhou Yue reacted quickly and said quickly: "Brother Zhao, where are you? Let's go to my house and have a drink."

"Yes, but I won't go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for fear of being assassinated."

Zhao Kang smiled slightly, and Zhou Yue's heart skipped a beat.

The last time Zhao Kang asked Qi Guo to apologize and left, he arranged for many masters to secretly assassinate him.

Is it possible that Zhao Kang is here to settle accounts this time?Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Kang patted his shoulder and said lightly: "The same place where I drank last time. Brother, I will wait for you there. Brother, I must be there."

After saying that, he took the horse and left without looking back, leaving Zhou Yue who was worried.

Back at the mansion, Zhou Yue felt a little solemn, recalling the scene of his previous meeting with Zhao Kang, who came alone.

And she came to him specifically, so I'm afraid she didn't have any good intentions.

If he really came to settle accounts with him because of the last assassination, how could he dare to go to Zhao Kang's appointment?
If not.

This guy might not be waiting for me at the city gate next time.

After thinking about it, Zhou Yue's eyes were fixed. This was Sheng Jing. Did he, Zhao Long, really dare to commit murder in broad daylight?
Thinking about it, he immediately asked someone to prepare a sedan chair and change his clothes. At the same time, he also called three guards and went to the Yuxue Tower where he had a drink with Zhao Kang last time.

He asked the waiter to take him and others to the box. When he opened the door, he saw Zhao Kang shirtless, and his upper body, which had become stronger due to martial arts training, was covered with scars.

Zhou Yue's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing him coming, Zhao Kang glanced at the three guards behind Zhou Yue, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, sit down, let's have a drink first."

Sitting down with a rough and uneasy mood, Zhou Yue raised his wine glass and forced a smile: "Long time no see, Brother Zhao. I miss you so much."

After the two drank a glass of wine, Zhou Yuegang wanted to say something nice. Zhao Kang smiled playfully: "Brother Zhou, you are not authentic."

"Ah? Brother, where do you start talking about this?" Zhou Yue quickly pretended to be stupid.

Zhao Kang pointed at the sword wound on his chest and said with a smile: "This sword was left to me by your master from Qi State. Before I broke his neck, he said it was under your instructions, Brother Zhou. This sword We should settle the account carefully."

"This, this, this! This is absolutely not the case!"

Zhou Yue was shocked. At this moment, Zhao Kang threw out three chopsticks on the table, and three screams were heard.

They saw the chopsticks bleeding through the right hands of Zhou Yue's three guards. As soon as Zhao Kang finished speaking, the three of them wanted to draw their knives to protect Zhou Yue's safety.

But he didn't expect Zhao Kang to react so quickly, injuring three of them with just three chopsticks.

Zhou Yue was so frightened that he couldn't sit still and jumped up. This guy was indeed a master.

"Brother Zhao!"

He opened his mouth to explain something, and Zhao Kang smiled and said: "Sit down and drink. This is Qi State. Brother, what are you afraid of? I think it must be brother. You have provoked someone. They don't want to see that we have a good relationship with each other." , so I want to provoke our relationship."

"We can't take advantage of each other and hurt the relationship between brothers, don't you think so, bro?"

"Yes, yes! That's it. Someone is deliberately provoking it. It must be because I got promoted, and those despicable and shameless people are secretly jealous!" Zhou Yue quickly explained nervously.

Zhao Kang clicked his tongue, the old man was really shameless, "Brother Zhou also said the same, then this must be the case, come and have a drink."

When Zhou Yue heard what he said, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked the three injured guards to leave the box, and then cautiously had a drink with Zhao Kang, and then said: "Brother Zhao, why are you here this time? "

Since Zhao Kang took the initiative to speak to eliminate his suspicion, it means that Zhao Kang did not come to Qi State to settle accounts with him this time.

Previously, I just wanted to oppress him psychologically.

Zhao Kang said: "I'm here to ask you, brother, to do a little favor."
