Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 109
Zhao Hongming approached the city gate a little bit.

His face gradually became serious, and his heart froze.

He began to think that if the guard Wu Fu at the city gate saw them, he was ordered to deliberately make things difficult and would not let them enter the city.

So should they chop them up with one knife, or reveal their identities and chop them up again?
Zhao Hongming figured it out after taking only two steps.

I can't be so bloody and kill people at every turn.

So, let Wu start to kill.

Just stand up.

Zhao Hongming made a decision in his heart, so he was ready to act at any time.

However, when he took Wu Qi and others to the city gate, he found that many guards had already lined up at the city gate.

In the most central position, a middle-aged man stood guarding the city gate with a group of civil servants and generals.

"Chen Shenghai, governor of Chenying County, has seen His Royal Highness King Wu!"

The leading middle-aged man spoke first, knelt on the ground and saluted, and everyone behind him also shouted.

This made Zhao Hongming just prepared a method, and suddenly there was no room for it.

Looking at it now, this Chen Shenghai is not the kind of person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

Zhao Hongming felt that if this Chen Shenghai was not against him, it would be fine.

But if it is aimed at him, it will undoubtedly be a lot of trouble to deal with such a person later.

If he is unreasonable, then Zhao Hongming can easily find an opportunity to take advantage of the righteousness, eradicate him, and consolidate his power.

But Chen Shenghai had no faults and no mistakes. If he targeted him, he could only assassinate him. Otherwise, it would damage his prestige and destabilize his fief if it was revealed to the public.

Zhao Hongming's mind was racing with thoughts, and a smile suddenly appeared on his originally stern face, and he shouted happily: "Everyone has a heart, and you actually greeted the king in person in the midst of your busy schedule."

His tone was calm and slow, with a kind of polite smile, which made people feel like spring breeze.

After Zhao Hongming finished speaking, he got off his horse, walked up to the county guard Chen Shenghai, and helped him up with his own hands.

Chen Shenghai showed a look of being flattered, not at all the look that a warrior in the martial arts realm should have.

On the contrary, his exaggerated performance made Zhao Hongming feel a little fake.

But this situation is also what he wants, at least it can be guaranteed that there is still a basic order in Ying County.

This layer of royal status on him is still somewhat useful, and the temporary situation is not as straightforward and bad as imagined.

Chen Shenghai clasped his fists and said, "King Wu has been exhausted all the way, and I waited for the special equipment to set up a reception banquet. Please come to His Highness King Wu."

After finishing speaking, he turned slightly sideways, and the others followed suit one after another when they saw the situation, making way out of the way.

Zhao Hongming thought to himself that this banquet was unavoidable, so he simply strode up.

Under the guidance of some servants, the group of them came to a bustling restaurant.

There are two stone lions squatting at the door, and two red lanterns hanging under the eaves, which are magnificent.

When Zhao Hongming strode in, he found that the entire hall was empty.

He was curious.

At this time, Chen Shenghai was thoughtful, and explained: "The owner of this restaurant heard that King Wu would come in person, so he specially started from this morning, and stopped receiving customers, and waited for His Royal Highness Wu Wang."

Zhao Hongming glanced at it, and the shopkeeper not far away showed a far-fetched smile.He felt in his heart that this restaurant might be the result of Chen Shenghai's coercion and temptation.

He didn't expose it, and brought Chang Wubing and Gao Yanshi into a private room with Chen Shenghai and others.

Zhao Hongming was young, but his status was distinguished, so he was assigned to the first case.

After everyone is seated one by one.

Chen Shenghai began to introduce Zhao Hongming one by one.

After listening for a while, Zhao Hongming's heart sank a little bit.

According to the edict issued by Emperor Jian'an Zhao Gongxu earlier, martial arts forces can occupy half of the government seats in the border areas.

But in his Ying County, all of them came from martial arts forces.

After questioning for a while, he found out that the officials sent by the Wei Guochaotang either broke their legs while riding a horse, or they were too tired to take a bath and fainted and then became paralyzed...

Anyway, after careful cross-examination, there are not many happy endings.

In the end, all of them, for one reason or another, either found a way to be transferred to other places, or resigned and left.

So far, Ying County has been completely controlled by these martial arts forces.

Gradually, Zhao Hongming also came to know that in Ying County, there are no less than 100 martial arts forces that can be named.

It seems that this banquet is not only to clean up the dust for him, but also to show off his power to some extent.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Hongming suddenly asked: "Everyone, have you ever heard of Shangxianmen in Yingjun? I heard that this Shangxianmen has a lot of influence in Yingjun."

After he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became calm for two or three seconds.

The official with the power of martial arts, with a huge belly, said: "Go back to His Highness King Wu, what about going to the Immortal Gate, I have never seen or heard of the officials here."

"The lower officials have never heard of it."

"So does the subordinate."

……

For a while, Zhao Hongming looked at everyone who denied everything, and immediately had a bottom line in his heart.

They are afraid that they are all beneficial to protect Shangxianmen, and the involvement behind it is deeper than he imagined.

Zhao Hongming wisely did not continue to entangle on this topic.

For this meal, the reception feast lasted until the time of Haishi, and it was barely over.

Under the escort of the prefect Chen Shenghai and others, Zhao Hongming arrived at his Prince Wu's Mansion in Ying County.

His Prince Wu's Mansion is located in a relatively prosperous location in Luling City, occupying two streets in front and back.

It is said that this palace was originally owned by a martial arts force, but due to some reasons, it completely declined and became a property without an owner, and was taken over by the royal family of Wei State as its own.

After several expansions, it has the current scale.

Zhao Hongming looked up and saw that the plaque above had been replaced.

"Wuwangfu" three gilt big characters flying dragons and phoenixes.

Seeing that the timing is almost right now, Chen Shenghai, the prefect of Ying County, said: "King Wu has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the customs of this place. For the safety of King Wu, we have specially dispatched some warriors from various families to act as guards to protect His Highness Wu Wang."

Zhao Hongming suddenly felt excited, finally came.

These people want to be poor and have a dagger.

What they were waiting for was this step. They didn't want to kill him, but to imprison him completely.

In this case, they did not violate the imperial court's request, and also prevented him, the prince of the Wei state, from pointing fingers at them indiscriminately, and he could find fault both inside and outside.

Zhao Hongming narrowed his eyes and said: "Gu has brought some guards, which must be enough to guard my Prince Wu's Mansion."

"To be honest, His Royal Highness King Wu, they all drank too much at the Fengfeng banquet today, and the officials have already sent them to the barracks. Now the palace guards are empty, for King Wu's safety, you should follow our advice." Chen Shenghai Said against each other.

He knew that the Martial King in front of him was of humble status, and he didn't have any martial arts power to rely on.

What Wu Wang.

It's just a false name.

He has no room for resistance.
