"Should ordinary people call me Mr. Zhao or Mr. Zhao?"
Zheng Xuan was holding a bottle of wine, looking at it playfully, and made a joke.
"It doesn't matter. Many people say that I don't have any official airs."
Zhao Kang smiled and poured out the tea in the cup, took Zheng Xuan's wine flask and poured a glass of wine.
The wine from Qi State has a sour taste, the wine from Jing State has a fruity taste, and the wine from Qian State is close to white wine, but still far from it.
Even with Zhao Kang's drinking capacity, he wouldn't get drunk even if he drank two kilograms. At most, he would be a little dizzy.
The two of them had a drink, and Zheng Xuan smiled and said: "Then Mr. Zhao, if you have any business with me."
Zhao Kangdao: "The Qian Kingdom is not as martial as the Jing Kingdom. Everyone is a martial artist. There are not many fifth-grade peak experts like Mr. Zheng."
"I have also sent people to check the famous masters in the Jianghu of Qian Kingdom, but none of them have Mr. Zheng's name, so I am just a little curious."
Zheng Xuan laughed at himself: "He is just a nobody from a mountain village, how can he be famous?"
Playing with the wine glass in his hand, Zhao Kang said: "That's not what you say. As the saying goes, the civil and martial arts learned are sold to the emperor's family. In today's world, everyone wants to spread their fame overseas. A master like Mr. Zheng will never be lonely no matter what. That's the namelessness."
"Do you dislike fame, or do you want to remain anonymous?"
Zheng Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mr. Zhao wants to find out about me?"
"If I want to recruit someone, I have to know their background, right?" Zhao Kang smiled, not hiding his little thoughts.
Zheng Xuan fell silent for a while and looked at Zhao Kang for a while before speaking: "Mr. Zhao, can I ask a question?"
"You ask." Zhao Kang nodded.
Zheng Xuan: "How high is your position in our Qianguo court? How much power do you have?"
"About this high and this big." Zhao Kang pointed to the sky with a smile.
Zheng Xuan couldn't help but smile: "Stop teasing me."
Zhao Kang restrained his smile: "This is no joke."
Zheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, then thought of some rumors, and looked at Zhao Kang in shock: "Your surname is Zhao! You are still so young, so I know who you are!"
"It seems that I will have to change my name again in the future." Zhao Kang sighed.
Zheng Xuan said excitedly: "It's really you, why do you have to do this yourself?"
"I came to Qingzhou not just for disaster relief," Zhao Kang said.
There are many clans in Qingzhou, and most of them are related to the grain industry.
Let these people stumble this time, and it will be much easier to deal with them later.
Hearing what he said, although Zheng Xuan didn't understand the reason, he didn't ask any more questions and looked at Zhao Kang thoughtfully.
Zhao Kang smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Zheng wants something?"
Zheng Xuan raised his head: "Since it's you, I won't hide it. As you know, our Qianguo world is not big compared to Jingguo's, but it is not small either."
"I am from Tieshanmen, do you know anything about it?"
Zhao Kang was slightly surprised: "Youzhou Tieshan Gate? Wasn't it destroyed a year ago?"
Zheng Xuan clenched his fists subconsciously, "Yes! There were seventy-two people in the family, from the master to the handyman disciples. They were all beheaded and destroyed. I was the only one who escaped!" Zhao Kang knew when he saw his appearance. There must be something fishy about the destruction of Iron Mountain Gate.
As the saying goes, Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and chivalry violates prohibitions with force.
Warriors with advanced cultivation have always been a source of great headache for those in power in the court.
If nothing else, there are the first-level killers trained by Prince Ning Xiao Feiyu, such as Ling Wuya.
When there are enough people like this, they can even become a key force in turning the tide of the war when put on the battlefield.
Therefore, no matter which country they are in, warriors are important targets of the court's control.
Zhao Kang was aware of this, so during his return to China, he paid close attention to the trends in the Qian Kingdom.
So I understand it more or less.
The Tieshan Sect where Zheng Xuan was located was a well-known sect in Youzhou, but it was destroyed by troops sent by the imperial court a year ago.
The situation reported by local officials in Youzhou at that time was that Tieshanmen was related to a group of grass bandits in Youzhou, so the local government combined with several sects who had enmity with Tieshanmen to destroy them.
Zhao Kang also did not expect that the powerful man in front of him with the peak level of fifth grade cultivation would actually be a remnant of Tieshan Sect.
He said: "It seems that Tieshanmen was destroyed, something fishy happened?"
Zheng Xuan's eyes filled with grief and anger, he immediately got up and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice to Zhao Kang: "Please ask the Imperial Master to make the decision for the seventy-two people in our Tieshan Gate! Our Tieshan Gate has never colluded with bandits and bandits."
"It's all framed by the Lin County magistrate, the Fiery Fire Sect, and the White Dragon Sect!"
Zhao Kang narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Zheng, you get up first and then talk. If there is really an injustice, I will naturally give justice to Tieshanmen!"
Zheng Xuan stared at Zhao Kang as if the person in front of him was his only life-saving straw. Zhao Kang helped him up and asked him to calm down first.
It can be seen from the fact that Zheng Xuan was seriously injured that day but he desperately escaped to report the news and rescued Wu Xinyi when asked to do so. This person's character is definitely not bad.
Therefore Zhao Kang is willing to believe him once.
Zheng Xuan suppressed the grief and anger in his heart and told Zhao Kang the truth about the destruction of Tieshan Gate.
"I am the deputy sect leader of Tieshan Sect. In addition to recruiting disciples, Tieshan Sect's main source of income is escorting goods for the Chamber of Commerce. There are many bandits and bandits in Youzhou."
"There are risks in transporting goods by major chambers of commerce, so these people will hire some sects to escort their caravans, and it was precisely because of this that Tieshanmen was destroyed."
Zhao Kang nodded slightly and motioned for Zheng Xuan to continue.
Zheng Xuan sighed and said: "A year ago, the sect owner was entrusted by Zhang Jun, a county official, to work with the Bailong Sect of the Fierce Fire Sect to escort a batch of goods to Liucheng."
"Originally, everything went smoothly along the way, but unexpectedly, just when we were about to arrive at Liucheng, we encountered bandits. The bandits were quickly dealt with, but during the fight, the truck transporting the goods overturned, exposing the What’s inside.”
"Are the goods inside prohibited items?" Zhao Kang said softly.
Zheng Xuan nodded: "It's salt!"
Zhao Kang's eyes flashed: "Private salt?"
"Yes! Zhang Jun has been secretly selling private salt."
Zheng Xuan said sadly and angrily: "The sect leader is upright by nature. When he saw that the goods he was escorting were private salt, he immediately went back to Zhang Jun to find out the reason and reported it to Lord Zhou Mu."
"But I didn't expect that Zhang Jun had sinister intentions. He first used his words to stabilize the sect leader, and then joined forces with people from the White Dragon Sect and Liehuo Sect to frame our Tieshan Sect for selling illegal salt together with bandits."
"The people of the White Dragon Sect and the Fierce Fire Sect collaborated with him, and Zhang Jun even found a group of bandits to give false testimony. So far, all the members of my Tieshanmen family, Mo Bian, have been raided by troops from the imperial court, and I am the only one who has escaped."
"During my escape, I was chased by the government and the White Dragon Sect's Liehuo Sect. When I was seriously injured and unconscious in the wilderness, I was accidentally rescued by my family master. Then I came to Qingzhou and became the martial arts master of Qingluan girl..."
