Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 420
Li Musen almost laughed out loud. Looking at Zhao Kang with a weird smile, his smile became even brighter.

"How do you want to play, Master Zhao? Your Highness will play with you!"

Zhao Kang pretended to be surprised: "Really? It's His Highness the Second Highness who is in charge of whether there will be a national disaster this week?"

Li Musen's face stiffened, and Emperor Li Chengkun said calmly: "The Imperial Master is joking. But since the Imperial Master is also very elegant, then I, Da Zhou, as the host, will naturally accompany me."

"No matter how big or small the Imperial Master wants to be, you can do it!"

"Okay! Your Majesty is really happy!"

Zhao Kang sat upright, and many people felt that this time Zhou State held this Four Kingdoms Cultural Conference on his birthday to target Zhao Kang.

But who knew that Zhao Kang originally came to this Four Nations Cultural Conference?

He smiled and looked at Li Musen: "1000 million, do you dare to play with it?"

Everyone gasped, they didn't expect Zhao Kang's appetite to be so big!
1000 million silver is one-third of Zhou's annual tax revenue!
Zhou's military strength was severely damaged in the last battle. Not only that, but the domestic economy was also affected to a greater or lesser extent.

All the money in the treasury is used to train the army. If the family hadn't been so prosperous before, it would already be stretched thin now.

Chen Shangyun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who knew the situation of the treasury best, immediately reprimanded: "Master Zhao really has his mouth open like a lion! Aren't you afraid of overeating?"

Zhao Kang just said: "Forget it if you don't dare to play."

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was so angry that he almost died.

Li Musen's face was equally ugly. He looked at Li Chengkun who looked indifferent, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Since the Imperial Master is so confident, I will accompany you!"

"There is a kind!"

Zhao Kang gave a thumbs up, but anyone could tell that his smile was mocking.

He looked at Princess Pearl again, and the latter's heart skipped a beat.

Zhao Kang smiled and said: "Princess Pearl?"

Princess Mingzhu frowned and said, "Master, Yanran does not carry so many banknotes."

Zhao Kang said: "Hey, if you don't have money to play, can you try another way?"

Seeing his malicious smile, Princess Mingzhu said bravely: "Please give me advice from the National Master."

"My master loves beauty the most in his life, especially a beauty as stunning as Her Royal Highness."

Zhao Kang chuckled and looked at Princess Mingzhu's face suddenly changed: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess does not bring so much money, then she can use herself as the lucky draw. If our teacher wins the first prize in the literary society, the princess will follow Zhao Kang and serve tea. Become a slave and a maid!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed drastically.

The second prince Li Musen stood up angrily: "Zhao Kang!"

"Is something wrong?" Zhao Kang asked.

Seeing his unconcerned look, Li Musen's face turned the color of pig liver with anger, and a smile flashed across Li Muyi's lips next to him.

Princess Mingzhu stared at Zhao Kang: "Master, is this inappropriate?"

"That's right. In the eyes of my master, the princess is worth 1000 million!" Zhao Kang said with a smile.

Ye Hongxue beside her didn't say anything. She knew that Zhao Kang must have a reason for doing this.

Looking at Princess Mingzhu's unkind face, Zhao Kang sneered in his heart, "I was given 10 taels of silver just to attract Zhou's firepower."

It's too cheap for you. How can there be a free lunch in the world?
Princess Mingzhu sighed but did not speak. Zhao Kang yawned: "It seems that the princess is not interested anymore, so forget it. Our master will not force others to do anything."

"Your Highness Princess!" Li Musen spoke at this time. Princess Mingzhu looked over and the former hesitated, not knowing how to speak.

After all, Princess Pearl came to Zhou Kingdom to get married this time, and the person she was going to marry was Li Musen.

Is it possible that he wants to persuade his fiancée to take him to prison?

Seeing Li Musen's angry and hesitant expression, Princess Mingzhu came to her senses instantly and looked at Zhao Kang again.

She immediately understood that this was Zhao Kang's way of helping her.

As long as Zhao Kang wins, then she will have to be the slave serving tea and water as agreed.

He doesn't have to marry Li Musen, and he can blame everything on Zhao Kang.

It's not that I don't want to marry you, it's just that Zhao Kang is so hateful!

Thinking of Princess Mingzhu, her eyes gradually brightened, and she raised the corners of her lips: "Since the Imperial Master said so, then Yanran will accompany her to the end."

"I also admire the Imperial Master Yanran very much, but all the scholars here are strong in arts and crafts, so I'm afraid they won't be able to fulfill the Imperial Master's wish."

After saying this, the woman turned to look at Li Musen and said, "Your Highness, it seems that we have to join forces to deal with Master Zhao. Yan Ran has someone in custody. Your Highness, please don't let Yan Ran down!"

Li Musen's blood suddenly surged as he looked at Princess Pearl's pitiful expression.

At this moment, he felt like a heroic hero, while Zhao Kang was the shameless villain who forced good girls into prostitution.

He even thought that Princess Mingzhu was willing to make such a sacrifice to help him deal with Zhao Kang.

At the moment, I just want to sigh, what more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?
"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess! The literary style of our Great Zhou Dynasty is so powerful that it cannot be matched by the madmen from a small country!"

Li Musen looked at Zhao Kang with ill intentions and said, "Master Zhao, now Her Royal Highness the Princess and I have agreed to your request, but is it time for the Master to take out his own bet?"

Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows: "That's right, but I don't know what His Highness wants our master to pledge."

Li Musen's eyes suddenly revealed a fierce light: "How dare the Imperial Master to escort your country to Tongzhou!"

The expressions of Wu Guanhai, Ye Hongxue and others changed instantly!
The latter even said: "Zhao Kang, don't be impulsive!"

Tongzhou is the gateway to the war-prepared state Qianguo.

If various countries want to attack Qianguo, the terrain leading to Tongzhou is the best route.

Once Tongzhou is defeated, the Qian Kingdom will lose all its geographical advantages. After Tongzhou, Liangzhou and other places are completely flat, and there is basically no danger to defend except for the city.

Li Musen asked Zhao Kang to use Tongzhou as a bet, which can be said to be Sima Zhao's intention.

"You have quite an appetite." Zhao Kang chuckled.

Li Musen's adrenaline was soaring at this moment, and he just wanted to urge Zhao Kang to agree quickly: "What? The Imperial Master is afraid? Your Highness and I have agreed to your request. Why can't the Imperial Master not dare to agree when it is our turn to make a request?"

"Or are you saying that the Imperial Master cannot make the decision? After all, he is just a subordinate of the empress of your country?"

Zhao Kang took care of himself and got a glass of wine: "You don't have to use your low-level provoking skills to embarrass yourself."

After finishing the drink in the glass, Zhao Kang glanced at everyone: "Since I said before, I will play big, then my national division will never have stage fright, isn't it Tongzhou? My national division will bet on Tongzhou to gamble with you. field!"

Ye Hongxue's eyes were anxious, Wu Guanhai sighed and whispered: "Master, you are too impulsive!"

Li Musen laughed loudly: "Okay! Master Zhao is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men, so courageous! But there is no proof for what he says. Come here and send me some pen and ink!"
