Zhao Kang asked Xiao Linglong for a long leave this time, so he had plenty of time.
Zhang Sheng, who came with him, fully planned to stay in Yuanjiang County after the first day.
He even started giving a class to the school students the next day, and Zhao Kang accompanied him and listened in class for a while.
I really couldn't bear the sleepiness and my eyelids were fighting, so I had no choice but to say goodbye.
Zhang Sheng thought it was because his lectures were not good enough and he could not catch his eye.
"Sure enough, the teacher is the best doctor to treat insomnia, no matter in which world you are!"
Zhao Kang was muttering to himself as he walked. At this time, Gao Quan quickly found him: "Master, there is a letter from Zhang Long and the others."
After receiving the envelope calmly, Zhao Kang returned to the county office and opened the letter. After reading what was written on it, he smiled coldly and burned the letter.
Li Muqing and Liu Hanlong's journey was not fast. Zhang Long and others who had set off early had been keeping an eye on their route, and finally determined that they would leave Qianguo from Jiayin Pass.
There are at least eight days of journey before we pass Jiayin Pass.
Zhao Kang found a map and looked at the route from Jiayin Pass to Yuanjiang County. It was not that close. A person could reach it in five days by riding a fast horse alone.
"Master, do you want to go?"
Zhao Kang did not let Gao Quan leave when he read the letter. Seeing Zhao Kang sneer at the burned ashes of the letter, he immediately understood what Zhao Kang was thinking.
"Go, of course."
Zhao Kang touched his shoulder. That night he was hit by two assassins' swords: "They cut me two swords. Of course I have to return them with my own hands. You go and call all the imperial guards who escorted me."
Gao Quan nodded and left.
After a while, Liu Fang, the imperial guard who escorted Zhao Kang and Zhang Sheng to Yuanjiang County, all approached.
"Your Majesty, please see the Imperial Preceptor."
Zhao Kang hummed: "General Liu, please go back and tell His Majesty that our division will stay in Yuanjiang County for a while and return to the imperial capital in about half a month."
"this……"
Liu Fang was a little embarrassed, after all, His Majesty had explained it before he came.
He must take Zhao Kang's with him when he comes back, but now he is asked to go back first, which is difficult to do.
Zhao Kang clicked his tongue: "What? You don't listen to the orders of your own master?"
"No, no, no, sir, your majesty has actually told me before that you asked me to go back by myself. It's hard for me to give you an explanation." Liu Fang was confused.
Zhao Kang: "That's it. I'll give you a letter and take it back with you. Your Majesty will definitely not punish you after reading it."
Liu Fang then relaxed and said happily: "That's good, then I'll trouble the Imperial Master."
…
After writing a letter for Liu Fang to take away and telling Gao Quan to look after Yuanjiang County, Zhao Kang left Yuanjiang alone on horseback.
According to what Zhang Long wrote in his letter, they would arrive at Jiayin Pass with Li Muqing and others first and choose the location for the ambush, so Zhao Kang had to rush to join them.
Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Kang rushed to Jiayin Pass without stopping, exhausting the horses he was riding.
After passing the interrogation of the security guards, Zhao Kang entered the museum and walked up and down the street, stopping every time he passed an inn, looking like a tourist looking for a place to stay.
Finally arriving at the eighth inn, Zhao Kang saw what he wanted.
Someone drew a mark with a red brick on the corner of the inn, like a naughty child who made it casually. This is the mark left by Zhang Long and the others.
Asking the waiter to take the horse to settle it, Zhao Kang entered the inn and sat in the lobby.
After a while, Brother Diao Huang Tianxing and his best confidant Zhang Long walked out from downstairs. When they saw Zhao Kang's back, they hurriedly went downstairs. They did not call out to the master, but pretended to be friends and welcomed Zhao Kang upstairs.
Entered the room.
The two of them said respectfully: "Master."
"Where's Mazi? Why are you two alone?"
Zhao Kang asked with a smile.
Zhang Long: "Mazi and his brothers have all left the pass and are crouching on the mountain road twenty miles outside the pass."
"Not exposed yet, right?" Zhao Kang asked.
Brother Diao said strictly: "Don't worry, sir, the brothers didn't get together when they came. They separated into ten pairs and left pretending to be businessmen."
"Where's the guy?"
Zhang Long laughed: "I gave the guard some money and let him go without any questioning."
Having followed Zhao Kang for so long, he has long been familiar with these worldly ways.
"Good job. Are you sure they came out from here?"
Zhang Long nodded: "Sure, Water Monkey and the others are keeping an eye on us all the way. Whenever there is a change in the route, they will notify us as quickly as possible. We even received a letter this morning. They can only exit through Jiayin Pass now."
"There are three carriages in total. The woman's carriage you mentioned is larger, sir, and is easy to identify."
Zhao Kang looked solemn: "Okay, let's go, just wait and see!"
…
The county seat is 200 miles away from Jiayuguan.
As foreign envoys with distinguished status, Ye Hongxue and his party were naturally received by local officials wherever they went.
Looking at Ye Hongxue, who was frowning from time to time, Li Muqing smiled and said, "What's wrong with General Ye? He looked restless along the way."
Fortunately, there was Ye Hongxue along the way, which kept Li Muqing from getting bored. Naturally, he, a dignified prince, would not bother to visit the local flower farm, Liuxiang.
If it weren't for the top beauty Ye Hongxue accompanying him, he would have rushed back to Dazhou to enjoy himself.
Liu Hanlong, the King of Han on the side, also said: "General Ye seemed to be worried all the way. Is it possible that he was afraid that the Qian people would win, so he would kill them all?"
Liu Hanlong himself laughed as he spoke. Apart from anything else, with Ye Hongxue, a super-beating master, the people of Qian country would be crazy if they had such an idea.
But he didn't know that he really hit the nail on the head.
After looking at the two of them, Ye Hongxue said calmly: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from the long journey. Let's all take a rest early. We will go our separate ways after passing Jiayin Pass tomorrow."
After saying that, Ye Hongxue left alone and entered the room prepared for her by the officials. She closed the door and rubbed her snow-white forehead.
You must be thinking too much, right?
How could that pervert do anything?
These days, the scene of her last meeting with Zhao Kang kept popping up in her mind. Was Zhao Kang going to kill Li Muqing?
No matter how you look at it, this is an impossible thing to do.
"I must have thought too much."
After muttering to herself, the female general quickly fell asleep with her clothes on.
After she left, Li Muqing looked at the direction in which the female general was leaving rather unhappily.
"What the hell, you don't get to drink anything as a penalty for toasting."
Liu Hanlong twirled the tea cup and said with a smile: "This woman is not ordinary. It will take some time for Your Highness to surrender."
"So what if we can fight? How can we stop thousands of troops? When the time comes, we must first destroy Qian and then destroy Jing. Wouldn't it be great if we divided the world together?"
Li Muqing laughed.
Liu Hanlong showed a catering smile, but looked away with disdain in his eyes.
