The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 252 The Reason for Going to a Neighboring Country
The father-in-law said in a mysterious tone.

The middle-aged man was dumbfounded after listening to it.

Go to Zhen'an County on the border of Zhao State?
This is going to a neighboring country!
You must know that since the signing of the peace agreement between several countries, the borders between countries and neighboring countries have not been guarded by troops, and there are even economic exchanges between countries.

But my own country is only partly adjacent to Zhao State, so there is no contact between my own country and Zhao State.

Even if there are exchanges, they are just some ordinary economic exchanges, and they are just exchanges between borders and borders.

But this time, why did he suddenly let himself go to a neighboring country, which is still a border.

Moreover, the border of Zhao State is very poor, so that place is not worth visiting, right?

After thinking for a long time, the middle-aged man still couldn't figure out why the emperor would let him go to the border of Zhao country, and he looked very fancy.

"Elder-in-law, the border of Zhao State is even poorer than that of our Chu State. Why does the Emperor value that place so much?"

The middle-aged man asked puzzled.

The father-in-law looked around, and there were not many people. He asked the middle-aged man to get closer to him, and then whispered, "This matter is still a top secret."

"For some unknown reason, the Emperor Zhao suddenly wanted the county magistrate of Zhen'an County, and even sent Zhuo Mu, the general of Zhao State, to lead an army of [-] to arrest the magistrate of Zhen'an County."

"What?" The middle-aged man cried out in shock after hearing this.

The father-in-law was also taken aback by his cry, and quickly covered his mouth.

"Please keep your voice down. Only a few people know about this now. Our family only told you because you were going to Zhen'an County. Don't tell others. And you can't say that it was our family who told you."

The father-in-law covered the middle-aged man's mouth and whispered in the middle-aged man's ear.

The middle-aged man nodded silently after listening to his father-in-law.

He just told the truth because the news was so scary.

One hundred thousand troops were sent just to capture a county magistrate, and the general of Zhao was also sent!

If someone told him the news, he would definitely not believe it, but this time he had to believe it, because the person who told him was the emperor of Chu State and asked him to go to Zhen'an County in person.

This made him have to believe it.

"Elder-in-law, let me talk a little bit more, what did the county magistrate of Zhen'an County do to let Emperor Zhao do this?"

The middle-aged man lowered his voice and asked.

After being forced to believe this fact, the middle-aged man also became curious.

Who is the county magistrate of Zhen'an County, and how can he let Emperor Zhao send [-] troops just to arrest him?
You must know that usually so many people are sent to war between countries, but this time sending so many people is just to arrest a county magistrate, which is impossible even after thinking about it.

But that's the way it is, it can only mean that the county magistrate did something that made Emperor Zhao furious.

Or it made Emperor Zhao have to do so.

But in this case, the magistrate of Zhen'an County must be very famous, but I have never heard of such a number one person.

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, the father-in-law took a deep look at the middle-aged man, and then sighed: "Actually, it's okay to tell you."

"The next thing our family will say is related to your character this time, so you must pay attention to it."

The father-in-law said slowly, and then continued without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak: "I heard that the county magistrate of Zhen'an County is a genius, and he has invented many things that can shock the whole country, but he has never revealed anything about it. own news, so the entire country of Zhao does not know that there is such a person."

"Furthermore, the people of Zhao State only found out about him and investigated him after they knew that the Emperor of Zhao State issued a wanted order. If you don't investigate, you will be shocked. The magistrate of Zhen'an County has many inventions, and even the poor people in Zhen'an County A poor place has developed into a paradise, and many people's lives are hundreds of times better than those of some dignitaries."

"It is very likely that Emperor Zhao accidentally found out about this matter, and sent a hundred thousand troops to arrest the county magistrate of Zhen'an County for the purpose of greed."

"And your mission to Zhen'an County this time is to prevent all this from happening."

"The state of Zhao is already a very powerful country, and it is even more powerful than other countries. If the emperor of the state of Zhao is allowed to get the county magistrate of Zhen'an County, it is very likely that the state of Zhao will become the overlord of several countries because of this matter, so we must not let it go. The county magistrate of Zhen'an County is in the hands of Emperor Zhao."

"That's why the emperor attaches so much importance to this matter, so your task is also very huge, that is, no matter what you do, you can establish a good relationship with the county magistrate of Zhen'an County. If you can let the magistrate of Zhen'an County come to Chu State, then it will be better naturally. .”

"And in order not to make the county magistrate of Zhen'an County afraid of Zhao's [-] troops, the emperor has notified the Ministry of War that you can take [-] troops to Zhen'an County for this operation."

"If the county magistrate of Zhen'an County agrees to come to Chu State, he must mobilize an army of [-] to deliver the magistrate of Zhen'an County safely to the imperial capital of Chu State."

The father-in-law told the middle-aged man everything he knew.

The middle-aged man's eyes widened as he listened, and he didn't even react in the end.

This is too incredible.

Because of one person, it is very likely that the current peace agreement signed will be abolished, and it will be a glorious life to say it like this.

But what shocked the middle-aged man was not just that, but the invention of the magistrate of Zhenan County.

He was very curious about what kind of invention could make a king of a country give up his dignity to forcibly rob a person.

"These things are all news from Zhao's spies. So far, not many people in Chu know about it. As the envoy of Chu on this mission, you must complete this matter, otherwise, the emperor will get angry. You can't stand it alone."

Seeing that the middle-aged man hadn't reacted yet, the father-in-law patted him on the shoulder and said slowly.

After listening to his father-in-law, the middle-aged man took a deep breath.

He now actually feels that his brain is not enough, because he has received a lot of shocking things in a short period of time.

And what followed was tremendous pressure, which can be said to be overwhelming.

After listening to his father-in-law's words, he also understood the meaning, that is, the emperor of Chu State only gave him one goal, that is, he can only succeed and not fail.

The father-in-law especially took a deep look at the middle-aged man, patted him on the shoulder, sighed, turned and left the courtyard without saying anything.

There were only a few middle-aged people left in the courtyard, and the people behind the middle-aged people rushed over after the father-in-law left.

"Husband, what happened? Why is the emperor in such a hurry to let the father-in-law come to find the husband?"

A woman came to the middle-aged man and asked.

She looked at the middle-aged man and felt extremely worried.

She had never seen such an expression on a middle-aged person.

And what made her husband like this was after listening to the father-in-law, so the woman was also very curious about what the father-in-law said to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man turned his head to look at his wife, seeing the worry in her eyes, the middle-aged man smiled faintly.

"It's nothing, just let me go out for a long time, and I can't see you for a long time, which makes me very distressed."
