As soon as he heard this, Zhang Zhao nodded, he wouldn't know the truth that a companion is like a tiger, no matter how powerful he was before, but now this has come to other people's territory, so he will still pay attention to these things.

At this time, a soldier on horseback came to meet him, and after looking at Zhang Zhao and the others, his eyes fell on the general in front.

The general took a letter from his bosom and handed it to him, then rode away.

Although he didn't know the content of the letter, Zhang Zhao could probably guess that it should be some personal information about himself and the people around him, after all, it was the first time for both parties to meet, and these things had to be prepared in advance.

Before coming to the palace, the general instructed a few people to stand here and wait, and soon heard a loud voice shouting: "Xuan Zhang Zhao and others come in." ”

"Come on in and remember what I just said. ”

Zhang Zhao hurriedly walked in, walked quickly to the front of the main hall, clasped his hands into fists and respectfully performed a sword salute, and said, "Zhang Zhao has seen the king." ”

Liang Jing and the others also greeted each other appropriately, and then waited for the king to speak.

The king was a young man, who looked to be less than twenty years old, and there were more than a hundred officials in the main hall, some older, some young, some elegantly dressed, and some in battle armor.

The so-called cultural relics are nothing more than that.

"I heard that Zhang Zhao is chivalrous, has excellent talent, and is also a dragon and phoenix among people. ”

"The king has won a prize. ”

Looking at Zhang Zhao, who was so modest, the king seemed very satisfied, then nodded and said, "Since everyone has already come, then don't talk nonsense, Zhang Zhao stepped forward to listen to the seal." ”

When Zhang Zhao stepped forward, the king said loudly: "The location of the city of Rongchang is extremely important, with the Cangyue Kingdom in the east, barbarians in the south, and demon beasts hoarding in the north. This position of city lord is not up to Zhang Zhao. At the same time, Zhang Zhao killed the evil demons and eliminated a scourge for the imperial court, which was a great achievement of Shuntian, Shun the people, and Shunxin, and at the same time was deeply loved by the local people, so he was specially named the marshal of the town, and 70,000 elite soldiers in eight cities were at his disposal. In addition, he is the best candidate for the position of city lord, so he named you the city lord of Rongchang City, supported the people, and wished the west too peaceful and prosperous. ”

"King Xie, Zhang Zhao hereby guarantees with his personality that with me for a day, I will never let the enemy country enter my territory for half a step, and never let any of the people go hungry. ”

The king nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Is there anything else Zhang Aiqing needs?"

"Zhang Zhao didn't dare to ask for more, everything was arranged by the king, but the outer city was persecuted by the beast tide, countless people were displaced and fled to Rongchang City, there were a lot of refugees, and I had to take care of them, so this fund is still a little lacking. ”

"Hmm"

The king nodded and said: "It is rare for Zhang Aiqing to serve the country and the people so much, this king has allocated 500,000 gold today, and Aiqing must solve the problem of food and clothing for the refugees." ”

After finishing speaking, the king turned his head to look at Chen Yang and said loudly: "Chen Yang stepped forward to listen to the seal. ”

Hearing that he was called himself, Chen Yang was a little stunned, but he didn't expect that he still had his own share, so he stepped forward.

"I have heard for a long time that Chen Yang is an immortal in the sword, and then he has a meritorious service in destroying the evil sword immortal, since then, this king has given the title of sword immortal, given a golden sword, named you a pioneer in the army, and rewarded 30,000 gold. ”

As soon as the words were settled, two forbidden soldiers walked over, one dragging a golden ingot in his hand, and the other dragging a sword made of pure gold.

The appearance of the sword is similar to that of a steel sword, it looks ordinary, it is just made of gold, and the word "Sword Fairy" is engraved on the gauntlet.

He didn't know what the golden sword was, but he could guess that it should be something similar to Shang Fang's sword, which beheaded the king and beheaded the traitorous ministers, and he could cut it first and then play, and had extremely high rights.

"Thank you, King. ”

Bai Xing stepped forward to listen to the seal. ”

When he came to Bai Xing's side, there was no material reward, after all, he had just come to this world, and it was already good to get the news.

"Bai Xing is rich in five cars, knows astronomy and geography, this is the pillar of the country, so he specially appointed you as the teacher in the army to help Zhang Zhao guard the border together. ”

"Bai Xing thanked the king for his appreciation and gratitude. ”

Not only Bai Xing and Chen Yang, but even Liang Jing had a share, but after thinking about it for a long time, the king didn't know how to praise her, and finally he could only make up a reason, saying that she was beautiful, and then sealed the first beauty in the Western Realm and 30,000 taels of gold.

After sealing Zhang Zhao, the king let everyone leave.

And Zhang Zhao and his party were called to the back garden.

In front of a lake, the king and Zhang Zhao took a leisurely stroll, accompanied by an elderly man.

Although the old man was already old, he was full of energy, and his eyes were very sharp, as if he could understand a person thoroughly by looking at him.

After several conversations, Zhang Zhao learned that there were a total of nine countries on the continent of this world of all things, and the country he was in now was the Goshawk Country, which belonged to a medium country, not a big country.

There is a Cangyue Kingdom near his Rongchang City, which is in opposition to the Goshawk Country, so he instructed Zhang Zhao to be careful.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao also probably understood why the king believed in himself so much, and he had to seal this and that without understanding, because he had no choice.

It's a gamble itself, and if you win the bet, then you can usher in a responsible and capable city lord for the border pass, even if you lose the bet, at most it's like the evil sword fairy, and even if you are scum, it is impossible to be scum to the point of the evil sword fairy.

At this time, the king stopped, looked at the lake in front of him, and said, "Aiqing has just taken office, and he will be exempted from taxes for three years. If you want to expand your strength, you can expand externally, but everything must be in your own name, and it should not have anything to do with the imperial court. ”

Zhang Zhao nodded, he understood that the king did this to stabilize himself, so that when he was ambitious, he would not engage himself, and if he wanted to do it, he would engage others.

"I'm not thinking about going to war for the time being, after all, there is no stability in the city, but if they dare to provoke, I won't ignore it. ”

After chatting for more than two hours, the king said that he was a little tired and wanted to go back to rest for a while, and told Zhang Zhao to play in the capital for a few days before going back, not to be too anxious.

And Zhang Zhao is indeed in a hurry, after all, the assessment of the inner disciples over there is about to start, and he must go back immediately.

After saying goodbye, Zhang Zhao took Chen Yang and them back.

Ten days later, several people returned to Rongchang City, and before they reached the city gate, Zhang Zhao was attracted by the good fields on the side.

"Why is this year's harvest so bad?"

Zhang Zhao came to the fertile field, grabbed a handful of rice, put it in his hand and saw that the rice had already sprouted and could not be eaten at all.
