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 Your 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, almost every man who met her for the first time always looked like this.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Kang responded and sat on the chair brought by the eunuch, feeling quite as if he was in another world. He glanced at the two sworn enemies, Lin Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Jinsheng, the imperial tutor.
Zhao Kang smiled playfully.
You two dogs, these two heads will be placed on your necks first.
Thinking about it, he looked at Xiao Linglong and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress, our Majesty is grateful for your country, and has sent me a hundred thousand pieces of silk and three hundred thousand taels of silver to express your gratitude."
Many officials lamented that Jingguo was still interesting enough.
Xiao Linglong smiled lightly: "My country, Qian, is deeply grateful for your friendship, and I hope our two countries will always be in good health for eternity."
"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 master, whose surname is Zhao and whose name is Zhao Long."
Xiao Linglong forced a smile and her eyes fell on a picture hanging on the wall.
If you only care about life and death for the benefit of the country, why should you avoid it 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 people from Jingguo are here, why not let them help? In this way, Sister, both inside and outside the court, you have a cruel temperament 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."
Ever since they learned about Zhao Kang's death, Her Majesty was not the only one who made everyone feel changed.
There is also Xiao Xuance, the late emperor's son who started out as a fool and worked very hard. Every day just looking at 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 Let them create momentum. As long as the leader dies 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 would break the necks of these two people.
As soon as he returned to the State Guesthouse, Zhao Kang opened the door and saw a misty veil. 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, a mortal woman 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, she is still sitting on that dragon chair, high up in the air, and she is not as close as a girl."
"The Imperial Master's Qiaoyu must have a lot of 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 remains to be seen whether the situation is determined or not."
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 or injured, although all that were left behind were remnants of new troops. "
"But if you want to do anything, you must have a military strength of more than 100,000, 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 something outsiders can know so easily."
"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."
"Hmm? 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, making them shudder.
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 at the same level. 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."
