I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Under the hostile gazes of the people of Chen State, Jiang Zuo and his group arrived in front of a mansion.

"This is the mansion that we in Guangning City have prepared for the Yan Kingdom delegation. You will all settle down here for a few days."

Pan Hou was still very polite on the surface and prepared everything for Jiang Zuo and his group.

"Thank you, Magistrate Pan."

This mansion is no smaller than the one in Jiangzuo.

As soon as he put his luggage away, Jiang Zuo wrote two letters in the room and sent them to the capital.

One letter to the Empress and one letter to Siyue.

It seems that this trip to the State of Chen is also full of troubles.

Jiang Zuo's usually calm face now showed a hint of worry.

"Sir, that Magistrate Pan is here again."

Master Guo came to report.

Jiang Zuo sent the letter and then went to meet Pan Hou.

At this time, Pan Hou was standing in the middle of the mansion.

"Prefect Pan."

Jiang Zuo stepped forward and bowed.

Pan Hou smiled again and said, "Envoy Jiang, I have a gift for you."

After that, he turned around and ordered, "Come here, pull up those two BMWs."

A moment later, someone brought in two spirited BMWs.

I saw that the two horses were all red with shiny fur, and I could tell at a glance that they were good horses.

"These two horses are the Ferghana horses that the Western Regions sent as tribute to our Chen State. Envoy Jiang, please choose one of them as a gift from me to Envoy Jiang."

Pan Hou introduced.

Jiang Zuo walked forward, took a look, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It is indeed a good horse..."

Pan Hou said, "Envoy Jiang, please choose one. There are only two Ferghana horses left in the entire Chen State."

Jiang Zuo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I keep both horses?"

"Envoy Jiang, this..." Pan Hou looked a little embarrassed, and said, "The other horse is intended to be given to the envoy of the Western Yue Kingdom. If you like it, Envoy Jiang, I can order someone to prepare another one of a different breed."

"It's okay. I'm a person who has a hard time making a decision. Why don't you keep both horses with us first, so that I can compare them carefully and see which one suits my taste. After three days, I will only choose one and the other good horse will definitely be returned to me."

Jiang Zuo assured.

"Then follow Envoy Jiang's arrangements." Pan Hou did not say much, and then said: "Today's dinner, I have ordered people to prepare, Envoy Jiang must come, we will entertain you well."

Jiang Zuo nodded: "Of course, of course."

After saying this, Pan Hou left.

Master Guo led the two horses over and ordered them to be tied up in the stable. He then asked, "Which horse do you want to choose, sir?"

"These two horses, one male and one female, are of course selected mares, and they can also breed offspring."

"Then why are you so troubled, sir?"

Master Guo didn't understand.

"This male and female are both purebred Arabian horses. Of course, we should let them breed first and then return them..."

Jiang Zuo said.

"Is this okay?"

Master Guo was stunned.

"Of course I wouldn't suffer a loss if I could get more."

This is Jiang Zuo's style of doing things.

"Then how to breed?"

Master Guo doesn’t understand.

Jiang Zuo leaned close to Master Guo's ear and whispered, "Go find some medicine, and then..."

Master Guo was stunned and could only sigh: "Master Jiang, you still have more ideas."

An hour later, Jiang Zuo and Master Guo and others prepared to go out to keep the appointment.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw many people from the State of Chen standing on both sides of the door.

I don't know if he came here to watch the fun or if he had some other purpose.

Pan Hou was already waiting for Jiang Zuo outside the door. When he saw Jiang Zuo coming out, he stepped forward and said, "I have been waiting for Envoy Jiang for a long time."

After saying that, he turned around and winked at the person behind him.

A moment later, a strangely dressed man walked up to Pan Hou.

"I heard that the people of Yan are good at swordsmanship. We happen to have a swordsman in Guangning City. Why don't we take this opportunity to have a competition between the swordsmen of our two countries?"

Pan Hou said calmly.

Hearing this, Jiang Zuo understood his purpose.

"No wonder there are so many people watching the show nearby, it turns out everything was arranged in advance..." Jiang Zuo thought to himself.

If I choose to refuse now, I will be laughed at by the people of Chen.

"In that case, let's show it off."

Jiang Zuo did not retreat.

"This is Hero Xiao, a famous swordsman in our Chen State."

Pan Hou introduced.

"Xiao Daochang!"

The people of Chen State nearby exclaimed.

"The top three swordsmen in our Chen country!"

I saw that Xiao Daochang not only had a long sword at his waist, but also had long hair, which covered half of his face, making him look particularly weathered.

Xiao Daochang narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Zuo with a rather sharp look.

"We are making friends through martial arts and learning from each other. I wonder who Envoy Jiang is going to send?"

Magistrate Pan asked with a smile.

Before Jiang Zuo could say anything, Situ Hua volunteered, "Sir, let me compete with these Chen people."

"also."

Jiang Zuo is still quite confident in Situ Hua's martial arts.

Situ Hua walked up, drew his sword, and faced the so-called top three swordsmen of the State of Chen.

The two men were so imposing that the bystanders took several steps back and felt a little nervous.

"please."

Szeto Wah bowed.

Xiao Daochang did not respond at all, but just placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword.

A moment later, Situ Hua took the lead, dodged in an instant, and stabbed Xiao Daochang with the sword in his hand.

In an instant, Xiao Daochang drew his sword and quickly blocked Situ Hua's attack.

A few cold rays flashed by, swept by bursts of sword energy.

Dust was flying and the sword energy was fierce.

The masters fought each other, and the people around them exclaimed in amazement.

After a moment, a clanging sound was heard.

The sword in Situ Hua's hand actually fell directly to the ground, and his right hand actually had a sword wound.

No one could see clearly how Xiao Daochang defeated Situ Hua.

At this moment, Situ Hua's right hand was dripping with blood.

"You lost."

Xiao Daochang spoke in a calm tone and put away his sword.

Situ Hua looked solemn. He picked up the sword on the ground and retreated silently.

Jiang Zuo frowned, never expecting that Situ Hua would be defeated.

"Haha, that Yan Gou is defeated!"

The onlookers laughed loudly.

"How could this Yan person be a match for Xiao Daochang?"

"That's all. I thought the Yan State's envoys had some ability..."

The ridicule continued.

Szeto Wah covered his wound, feeling angry.

"well enough?"

Jiang Zuo said with concern.

"It's my incompetence."

There was a hint of guilt in Situ Hua's eyes.

As the deputy commander of the Thousand Cavalry Division, he was unable to defeat a swordsman from the State of Yan. It was truly too shameful.

The swordsman Xiao Daochang shook his head in disappointment: "I didn't expect that you Yan people are so vulnerable. I am so disappointed."

Hearing this, Situ Hua clenched his fists tightly.

"Oh, you're still so shameless even after winning."

Jiang Zuo was immediately displeased.

"Your swordsmanship is pretty good, why don't you try it out with me?"

Jiang Zuo suddenly spoke.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted everyone's surprised gazes.
