Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 244 Arrival
"Things seem to be beyond His Highness' control."

The woman opposite was dressed in white, and her beautiful face did not make her look ordinary.

On the contrary, there is a kind of charm that seduces the common people.

Xiao Feiyu held the wine glass and said calmly: "There are no absolutes, just like there is no definite victory in chess. What matters is the process of the game."

"But I see hesitation and worry in His Highness's eyes. What are you afraid of?"

The woman lay sideways in Xiao Feiyu's arms and smiled jokingly: "Are you afraid of Zhao Kang? I really want to meet this person."

He stroked the woman's pretty face with his fingers and whispered, "Do you know what the scariest thing in the world is?"

"I'm all ears."

Xiao Feiyu: "It is the unknown, and unknown things are the most terrifying. And Zhao Kang is just a person who can bring about the unknown."

"I won't be surprised by what will happen when he enters Tongzhou and what the final result will be."

Woman: "So, this person is dangerous."

"Isn't it?"

After Xiao Feiyu finished drinking the wine in the glass, the woman smiled and said, "Then why don't you kill him?"

"It is always a pity to kill a talented person. If he stays in the imperial capital and assists me in the future, he will surely sweep the world!"

The woman smiled again: "But now, this wish seems to be in vain."

"Yes."

Xiao Feiyu smiled helplessly: "So I am very confused now. It would be a pity for him to die on the battlefield like this."

"Let the first floor take action?"

Xiao Feiyu shook his head: "One attack is enough, let's see again. It would be a pity if Ye Hongxue hadn't disrupted the situation."

"You can give Yingfeng to Zhao Kang. It seems that your majesty and Zhao Kang are indeed in love. It's a pity that she is not dead!"

The woman added: "Indeed, as long as Xiao Linglong is still alive, His Highness will not get the support of the other ministers if he starts an uprising now."

"But Your Highness, you also said that Zhao Kang is a person who can bring about unknown things. If he turns the tide of the battle and wins a big victory, wouldn't His Highness be able to hide the dragon in the abyss again?"

Xiao Feiyu smiled and looked out the window: "So, I will give him a big defeat. The kind that makes him die without a doubt!"

Early morning hours.

Zhao Kang stood up, but Qin Yufeng was reluctant to leave, and still said: "Sir, take me with you!"

Zhao Kang smiled: "I'm going to the front line, not on vacation. It's not appropriate to take you with me."

"But Yufeng is very scared. I always have a bad feeling that he will take action!"

Qin Yufeng said with tears in her beautiful eyes.

"There is a possibility that His Majesty's inexplicable defeat could be his handiwork."

Zhao Kang sighed: "But we don't have evidence, so we can only try to find out what's going on."

"Sir." Qin Yufeng made her last effort.

Zhao Kang smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Don't worry, my life is very tough. I promise you that I will never die. Be obedient."

Qin Yufeng: "If the young master breaks the promise, then Yufeng will not be alone!"

"Silly girl."

He held him in his arms lovingly, and only after a deep kiss did Zhao Kang say goodbye to him.

After leaving the Imperial Master's Mansion, Feng Bao, the eunuch chief, was already waiting outside.

Accompanying him were three thousand Praetorian Guards.

The civil and military officials had already arrived at the city gate to see them off. Without saying anything else, Zhao Kang got on his horse and rushed to Tongzhou with three thousand forbidden troops.

Out of the imperial capital.

Zhao Kang looked at Feng Bao who was traveling with him and asked: "Master Manager, Ling Wuya has passed through the sky. Have you ever heard of this man?"

Feng Bao nodded: "A killer who has a long-standing reputation in the world. It is said that he has a fourth-grade cultivation level, which is very extraordinary." Zhao Kang said: "The battle report said that it was because of this person that His Majesty was defeated. Do you know that? A foot?"

Feng Bao frowned, thought carefully and shook his head: "Although our family knows a little about the affairs in the Jianghu, we have been responsible for the security of the palace over the years and rarely go out to the Jianghu, so we don't know much about it."

Zhao Kang sighed: "Then it seems that we can only ask Jing Guo to investigate this matter."

……

After five days of rapid marching, Zhao Kang finally led his people to Tongzhou City.

Tongzhou City is about fifty miles away from the border defense outside the pass. Because it is a war-prepared state, there are not many people in Tongzhou.

At this time, everyone has evacuated to the rear area, and the city is full of auxiliary soldiers constantly patrolling various places.

Zhang Zheng, the state pastor, led his officials to greet him outside the city. Although it was his first time meeting Zhao Kang, he did not show any careless contempt.

"The guilty general Zhang Zheng will meet with the Imperial Preceptor."

"General, no courtesy, how is the situation?"

Zhao Kang hurriedly dismounted his horse and went forward. Zhang Zheng stood up and sighed: "The enemy's offensive is too fierce. Although they have not divided their forces, I am afraid they will not be able to sustain it for long outside the pass."

"Today we almost broke through the city three times, but luckily we were all pushed back. The guilty general wanted to ask His Majesty to retreat, but Your Majesty refused to agree."

"This bitch is trying to be brave again!" Zhao Kang couldn't help but said angrily.

Zhang Zheng was stunned, thinking that he heard wrongly, and looked at Zhao Kang in astonishment: "What did you say, Imperial Master?"

"fine."

Zhao Kang: "Take me to see His Majesty quickly and strengthen the defense outside the customs."

Zhang Zheng took Zhao Kang to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion with doubts. Zhao Kang asked on the way: "According to the general, your Majesty's injury has improved."

"I woke up yesterday, but His Majesty was too seriously injured and still couldn't get off the ground." Zhang Zheng sighed.

Zhao Kang asked again: "What about Ye Hongxue?"

"I won't die yet." Someone said calmly.

When Zhao Kang turned around, he saw the pale Ye Hongxue looking at him.

Ignoring Zhang Zheng beside him, Zhao Kang hurried over and said with worry on his face: "How are you!"

Zhang Zheng was stunned. Judging from the situation, these two people knew each other.

"You can't use force at all now. What are you doing running over here!"

Ye Hongxue smiled bitterly, then frowned: "Didn't you know it was a battlefield?"

"I came here just because I know the battlefield."

Zhao Kang snorted coldly: "I haven't told you yet! You and Wu Guanhai must have known about such big news about the Zhou Qi coalition in advance, and you actually hid it from me without saying a word!"

"The situation is urgent. There is no need to mention these past matters again." Ye Hongxue said forcefully.

Damn it, every one of them treated me like a sick cat because they didn’t show off their power.

Zhao Kang was angry in his heart. After hearing Zhang Zheng shouting, he glared at Ye Hongxue viciously.

"I'll settle the score with you later!"

You're such a pervert, you'll show off my face as soon as you come here!
Ye Hongxue was even more angry. She clenched her fists and wanted to slap Zhao Kang in the face.

The strong smell of medicine floats in the air

Zhao Kang asked the others to retreat, gently opened the door and walked in.

The figure lying on the hospital bed turned around and saw that it was him.

His eyes were slightly red, and he bit his red lips: "You're here."

Zhao Kang, who was simmering with anger in his heart, was immediately heartbroken when he saw the other party's appearance, and hurriedly ran forward and knelt down.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, touched the bloodless face, and said in a difficult voice, "Why, it's so injured!"
