Everyone in the audience was shocked when he finished speaking, and everyone's eyes turned to one person.
Protector Xu Ning!
Xu Ning's face was confused, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Kang.
My mind suddenly recalled what my son said a few days ago.
"I don't know that person's name, I only know his surname is Zhao."
For a moment, Xu Ning was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do. The person holding his son in prison turned out to be the Imperial Master of the State of Qian!
Isn’t this costing your own life?
He didn't know what to say, so Prince Wu Guanhai stood up quickly, his tone of voice mixed with respect and inquiry.
"Why did the Imperial Preceptor say such shocking words? But Xu Qing offended the Imperial Preceptor? Guan Hai can make amends on his behalf."
The Lord Protector looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with gratitude in his eyes. He was indeed a kind-hearted Crown Prince.
Zhao Kang put away his smile and said calmly: "Xu Qing not only offended me, but also insulted me Da Gan!"
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials felt that they were in trouble.
Wu Rulong looked at Ye Hongxue, his expression full of confusion, not knowing what was happening.
Ye Hongxue just lowered her head and looked at her toes, not knowing what to do.
She had seen Zhao Kang's unyielding retribution once again.
If Zhao Kang had proposed to kill Xu Qing from the beginning, then given Xu Ning’s status as the Protector of the Kingdom and his contribution to Jingguo.
Wu Rulong and even some ministers would definitely not buy it.
However, Zhao Kang has clearly stated the benefits of this alliance, and even promised to share mineral veins and new swords and equipment.
In this case, no matter how hard Xu Ning tried to protect him, some officials who did not deal with the Protector, or other neutral officials, now wanted Xu Qing dead!
Come to calm Zhao Kang's anger and avoid this alliance being ruined.
This time, even Wu Guanhai did not dare to say anything rashly. Zhao Kang's words that insulted Da Gan scared him.
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor was still there. Wu Rulong hesitated for a moment before asking: "Master, can you elaborate? I will definitely give justice to the Master after I know the cause and effect."
Zhao Kang smiled lightly without any hint of resentment, and told the story of how he came to Langshan Camp and was arrested by Xu Qing without any explanation, beaten, and put into prison.
Many people twitched their mouths and looked at Xu Ning with pity in their eyes.
The third son of the Protector is really bold.
A few years ago, when he tried to rob Ye Hongxue by force, three of his legs were broken and he became a neither-male nor female eunuch.
This time he was even more ruthless, he beat up the imperial master of Qian Kingdom and put him in jail.
This is seeking death!
Wu Rulong's eyelids were twitching wildly as he stared at Zhao Kang in the center of the hall in stunned silence.
The latter said calmly: "I am doing business with Mr. Ye, and I came here to solve the physical problems of the female soldiers of your country and to form an alliance. I didn't expect to be treated like this. Your Majesty, Emperor Jing, may I ask if there is still a law in the country of Jing?" ?”
"Master Ye, is this true?" Wu Rulong asked quickly.
Ye Hongxue stopped pretending to be stupid and nodded: "It is true that this happened. It was after I heard about it that I went to the Langshan Camp and rescued the Imperial Master and his entourage."
"When I saw the Imperial Preceptor, he was covered in bruises and torture. Those who participated in the torture had already been executed on the spot, but Xu Qing left the Langshan Camp early."
Protector Xu Ning swayed slightly and looked at Zhao Kang. He knew that if he didn't do anything to remedy the situation, he would suffer.
His youngest son was definitely dead, so he hurriedly said: "Master National Preceptor."
"Please tell me." Zhao Kang also knew from everyone's reaction that this old man over fifty years old was Xu Qing's father.
Xu Ning hurriedly said: "The bastard Quanzi offended the Imperial Master. I am here to apologize to the Imperial Master and ask the Imperial Master to give Quanzi a way out. I am willing to compensate the Imperial Master at all costs."
He spoke sincerely, but Zhao Kang firmly shook his head and said calmly: "Master Xu, if I, Zhao Kang, came here by myself, then it doesn't matter, as long as the compensation is given. Zhao Kang has not experienced this kind of thing.
Yes, but!"
Zhao Kang said coldly: "I came here to form an alliance this time. Fortunately, I, Zhao Kang, did not bring the alliance letter with me at that time, but put it in the ceremony."
"If the alliance letter was discovered after being thrown into prison by Xu Qing, Mr. Xu, do you think I, Zhao Kang, still have life to stand here and talk to you?"
Xu Ning was silent. He knew exactly what kind of personality his son had. Once it turned out to be what Zhao Kang said.
Then Xu Qing would definitely destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces of it, as if Zhao Kang had never been here.
"If you do something wrong, you have to bear it. Some mistakes cannot be made up for. If you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility."
Zhao Kang took out the alliance letter from his sleeve, looked at Wu Rulong and said: "Your Majesty, the alliance letter of our country is here. If Xu Qing dies, this alliance will be invalid!"
"Master Imperial Master, you must not do this!" an official said urgently.
Prime Minister Chen Kai remained silent. No matter what he said at this time, he would offend others.
Wu Rulong sighed, and then looked at Xu Ning, the protector of the country who had served his country all his life.
Making a last-ditch effort: "Master Imperial Master, since what happened has happened, I naturally have to give you an explanation. I can promise to break Xu Ning's legs today so that he will never be able to leave the mansion again."
"But how about asking the Imperial Master to spare his life?"
Zhao Kang still shook his head, and the officials of Protector Xu Ning's line couldn't help it.
"Zhao Kang, don't be too pushy. Are you okay? Why do you have to let Xu Qing die!"
"If the alliance fails, how will you go back and explain to the empress of your country?"
"Are you teaching me how to do something?" Zhao Kang smiled.
The faces of the prince and Emperor Jing changed drastically, and they immediately scolded the official: "Shut up!"
Zhao Kang spoke out: "The reason why I, Zhao Kang, persuaded Her Majesty the Empress to form an alliance with your country is entirely because of Lord Ye Hongxue Ye."
"If not, I, Zhao Kang, can definitely go to Qi or even Zhou Dynasty!"
The officials looked away, and Zhao Kang snorted coldly: "It's not that our country needs Jingguo, but that your country needs my country! I hope this gentleman will think about this matter clearly before speaking."
"If Xu Qing doesn't come to me to die before dusk today, I will return to the Kingdom of Qian. I hope your majesty will forgive me. Zhao Kang is tired after traveling and traveling, so he will retire."
"stop!"
Seeing Zhao Kang about to leave, one person couldn't help but said: "Zhao Kang, you treat Jingguo like nothing! You have to sign this alliance even if you don't want to, otherwise you won't be able to leave this hall!"
Zhao Kang laughed and said, "You can give it a try. It must be an interesting thing for the Imperial Master of the Qian Kingdom to die in your country's court hall."
"I, Zhao Kang, dare to come here without fear of your threats. When the time comes, take a good look and see if Her Majesty, the empress of our country, will send troops to attack the border and break the two countries into pieces!"
Without Wu Rulong's permission, Zhao Kang waved his sleeves and left, leaving behind a room full of confused officials.
