The army was led by officials from the Ministry of War to the garrison, while Zhao Kang and Wu Tianhu followed Li Yuan into the imperial capital.
Wu Tianhu was left in the State Guesthouse, and Zhao Kang followed Li Yuan into the palace. All the civil and military officials of the Qian Kingdom were waiting for him.
Step by step into the main hall, you are greeted by all kinds of eyes, which are different from before.
Zhao Jinsheng, Lin Yu and a group of other people looked at him with excited eyes.
They all can't wait to become Xiao Feiyu's ministers and help Xiao Feiyu ascend to Dabao.
However, a group of officials such as Grand Master Yang had mixed feelings.
Fortunately, Jingguo has actually brought troops to support Qianguo. What is worrying is that the alliance relationship between Qianguo and Jingguo has undergone subtle changes.
In the past, when Zhao Kang was here, Qian Guo and Jing Guo were each other's allies, but Qian Guo was undoubtedly the leader. Whatever benefits Jing Guo wanted would depend on whether Qian Guo would give them.
But now after the First World War, Qianguo was severely damaged and the relationship was reversed. Qianguo had to ask Jingguo for help in everything.
The previous initiative to send mined iron ore and carefully crafted weapons to Jingguo is an example.
Therefore, during this period, many officials couldn't help but begin to miss the time when Zhao Kang was here.
Although this hobgoblin didn't go to court for three days or so and ran around, he didn't look like a national teacher at all, and he often cursed like a shrew in the court.
But there is no doubt that Qian Guo had already improved with his help at that time. Even if there had not been this battle, Qian Guo would have only been given another year or two.
Then I am afraid that the situation of the weakest of the four northern countries, Qianguo, is about to change!
Some officials who initially agreed with Zhao Kang to go to command the army outside the pass now regretted it.
After standing still, Zhao Kang looked up at Xiao Linglong on the dragon throne, and couldn't help but feel sad again.
Now Her Majesty the Empress seems to have truly become a heavenly being who does not eat the fireworks of the human world. Her beautiful appearance is matched with her cold temperament, which is neither sad nor happy.
People can only watch it from a distance but not play with it. It is even more stunning than before.
But Zhao Kang didn't like it. Xiao Linglong, who used to be angry, laugh, and cry, beat him in anger, and pull his ears out of shame, was his favorite person!
"Thank you for your hard work, your Majesty."
Seeing Zhao Kang looking at her in a daze in the audience, Xiao Linglong didn't express anything and seemed very calm.
Zhao Kang quickly saluted: "I have met Her Majesty the Empress."
"There is no need to be polite. Qian's country is in danger. I would be very grateful for your help."
Zhao Kang: "Qi State invades the border of Qian State again, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Empress, I will never let Qian State suffer any harm!"
"oh?"
Xiao Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly, recalling a picture in her mind that someone once said to her.
As long as he is still here, he will let her, Xiao Linglong, put the country of Qian into danger. Now she is gone.
Blood feud can only be repaid with blood, and dead knots can only be resolved with death!
"Then thank you very much for your envoy. Sir Fang Lin, you can entertain Master Zhao for me. I am tired and will withdraw from the court."
Everyone said long live and sent Xiao Linglong off.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Zhao Kang declined Fang Lin's invitation and left the imperial city to the Fengyuelou Inn.
This was the place he had agreed upon with Mu Jixun. He ordered a pot of tea in the hall and after waiting for a while, Zhao Kang saw Mu Jixun coming downstairs.
The latter didn't show much emotion, ordered a bottle of wine and sat behind Zhao Kang, and a sound of gathering energy echoed in Zhao Kang's ears.
"National Division."
Being able to gather energy and transmit sound indicates Mu Jixun's strength. Zhao Kang estimates that it is not bad, and it is also at the fourth level.
"General Shogun, where are the armies of the trapped soldiers located?" Zhao Kang also sent a message to ask.
Mu Jixi quickly responded: "There are now a total of 4,623 people who have rushed to the outer city. They are distributed in various inns in the outer city. After arriving, the military commanders will come to this building to report to the general. The remaining people are trying to cover up the public. We don’t enter immediately, it can take up to two days to fully infiltrate.”
"Very good, let the officers and men of the army not act rashly and wait for my orders." Zhao Kang said.
"Master, please rest assured."
The imperial capital is the political center of the Qian Kingdom, and there are many outsiders coming and going every day, so the infiltration of the trapped warriors did not arouse much suspicion.
After Mu Jixing reassured Zhao Kang, he added: "The imperial master and your majesty are also here. Now he is temporarily living in the Hao Lai Inn in the outer city. Every day at noon, he takes a walk on Mao'er Street in the outer city. It's about this time. If I go there now, I can still meet him."
"Know."
When Zhao Kang heard this, he immediately got up and headed to Mao'er Street without hesitation. Wu Rulong was his biggest support in this fight with Xiao Feiyu.
When he came to Mao'er Street, Zhao Kang glanced around nonchalantly looking for Wu Rulong, and soon found him.
Wu Rulong did not dress like a knight-errant. Instead, he wore a green shirt with long sleeves, a high crown on his head, and a goatee, which made him look like a teacher in a private school.
No one would have thought that this guy was most likely the best master in the world, the emperor of Jingguo!
At this moment, Wu Rulong was haggling over the price of a pack of fennel beans sold by a street vendor. Zhao Kang whispered: "Your Majesty."
Wu Rulong didn't have any reaction. He just reluctantly took out three cents from his sleeve and said to the vendor: "Okay, okay, three cents is three cents."
After paying the money, he took the bag of fennel beans and threw one into his mouth. He narrowed his eyes and smiled and sent a message to Zhao Kang: "Master, you guys came too late. I have been wandering around the outer city for several days."
"I spent a day repairing in Tongzhou and wasted some time. Did your Majesty find anything?"
Zhao Kang also glanced at the goods of street vendors. The two of them were separated by a street and communicated through the method of gathering energy and sound transmission.
"I had an interview with Prince Ning Xiao Feiyu four days ago. The Imperial Master estimated that he is not bad. I am afraid that this young man's cultivation level is only slightly worse than mine."
Zhao Kang was shocked, "Your Majesty, you haven't been exposed!"
"Nonsense, I did it on purpose, how did he find out about my temptation." Wu Rulong rolled his eyes.
He threw away the finished paper bag of fennel beans, and just as he was about to send a message, several people wearing red armbands on the street walked towards him with stern eyes.
Wu Rulong was also shocked when he realized that the opponent's target was me. Why did the opponent lock his energy on me?
Could it be that the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Qian Kingdom has seen through my cultivation!
Wu Rulong was wary, and at this moment the other party stretched out his hand: "Throw garbage everywhere, you will be fined five cents!"
"What a fool!??" Wu Rulong was confused.
Zhao Kang on the opposite side turned around, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Hurry up! Pay the money quickly, or else you old guy will go to jail. Believe it or not!"
Wu Rulong was speechless: "Why don't you just throw in a paper bag and get paid? What's breaking the rules?"
"You old guy looks like a scholar. Why are you so low-quality? Do you understand that everyone is responsible for protecting the environment? Where do you stand? I will explain to you the hygiene management regulations of our imperial capital! Here you go. I'm standing up!"
"Firstly, no littering is allowed, and secondly, no spitting..."
