Isn't it good to just be an official and make your own money? Why do you have to fight?
Now no matter who wins or loses, I, who am not involved, will be in trouble.
Zhao Lin rode up to Xiong Hui, dismounted, and clasped his fists, saying, "I, Zhao Lin, the Governor of Jiujiang, pay my respects to the Governor-General. I am wearing armor, so I cannot fully honor you. Please forgive me."
Xiong Hui looked at Zhao Lin coldly without replying. Zhao Lin waited with his fists clenched. Facing impatience, he straightened his back and asked, "Isn't the Governor here?"
"How dare you! This is the Governor." Tian Zhipeng shouted.
Zhao Li glanced at Xiong Hui and said, "Oh, I thought the Governor was not here. Why didn't you reply?"
hiss……
Chi Qiaoyu took a deep breath.
Isn’t Zhao Lin too arrogant?
Is this how you talk to your boss?
Even if you are favored by the emperor and have a backer, superiors and subordinates are still superiors and subordinates. Even if you bring this to the attention of His Majesty, you are still wrong.
Xiong Hui said coldly, "I was stunned by the sight of Lord Zhao's magnificent army and forgot to reply. Please forgive me, Lord Zhao."
Chi Qiaoyu waited for Zhao Lin's answer.
This is not an apology, but a secret attempt to frame Zhao Lin.
You, a subordinate, led the army and scared your superior. It will be hard to say what will happen when this is reported to the Censor.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lin said, "Your Excellency the Governor is in charge of the military and political affairs of the two provinces. How can you be so timid? Well, I will take you on a tour of the Qingzhou army to boost your courage."
Chi Qiaoyu immediately took a step back.
He knew that the two men were fighting to the death.
Xiong Hui wants Zhao Lin's benefits, and Zhao Lin wants Xiong Hui's life.
really.
Xiong Hui was furious: "Zhao Lin, is this the tone you use when talking to Shangguan?"
Zhao Lin said calmly, "What else? Kneel and ask the Governor-General to inspect our Qingzhou Army? Do you think our Qingzhou Army is strong?"
"you?"
Xiong Hui pointed at Zhao Lin, his hands shaking with anger.
He didn't expect Zhao Lin to be so arrogant.
He doesn't take his superior seriously at all.
Xiong Hui couldn't figure it out.
Whether it was family background, connections, official position, or anything else, Zhao Lin was not as good as himself.
Why does he dare to be so arrogant and not care about himself at all?
The scene froze for a moment.
Chi Qiaoyu quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Lord Zhao is here to report on his duties, so why did he bring the army with him?"
Zhao Lin said calmly, "I personally formed the Qingzhou Army, and it's my responsibility. Since this is my report, I naturally need to let the Governor-General review it. Otherwise, wouldn't I be misunderstood as someone who's drawing a salary without doing anything?"
Chi Qiaoyu was speechless.
Who reports on work like this?
Let the governor see the army, shouldn't you ask the governor to go over there? But this guy just brought them here directly, and they look like they are going to attack the city.
If you didn't know, you would think the rebels were besieging the city.
The city defense forces have arrived.
A city defense force of 5,000 people is stationed here all year round, directly commanded by Xiong Hui.
This city defense force was formed by Xiong Hui alone. It was the foundation of his position as governor and was completely under his command.
With just one order from him, Zhao Lin could be hacked to death on the spot.
And he can give a valid reason.
Zhao Lin led his army to attack the city and attempted to rebel.
Although Zhao Lin was fully armored, there were already hundreds of people on his side, and even if they were piled up, they could still kill Zhao Lin.
As long as the city gates are closed, no matter how powerful the Qingzhou army is, they will not be able to save Zhao Lin.
Do they still dare to attack the city?
Xiong Hui moved his fingers and was about to give an order.
Zhao Lin said calmly, "Your Excellency is too close to me."
Zhao Lin and Xiong Hui were about two steps apart.
Converted into meters in the previous life, one step is one and a half meters, which is three meters.
At this distance, Zhao Lin can rush over in one step.
Even if Xiong Hui had 50,000 soldiers and horses, Zhao Lin could kill Xiong Hui before they took action.
Xiong Hui's blood rushed up and his face suddenly turned red.
Zhao Lin threatened him!
A naked threat to him.
But when Xiong Hui saw the knights behind Zhao Lin who had not yet dismounted, all of them wearing armor, holding weapons, with murderous eyes, a chill ran down his spine.
Zhao Lin was not threatening him, he really dared to kill him.
Chi Qiaoyu saw the problem and quickly came over to insert himself between the two of them: "Sir, Lord Zhao has come from afar, why don't you invite him into the mansion and treat him well?"
Well, I'll trick you in first.
Once I arrive at the Governor's Mansion, my life and death will be in my hands.
Thinking of this, Xiong Hui forced a smile on his face: "It is my negligence. Lord Zhao, please."
