The Boss Your Majesty Is Looking For Has Always Been Me. Chapter 17
byThunder’s Fury
“What a coincidence, isn’t it?” Han Hao smiled obscenely.
Qin Zhi endured the tingling sensation from the tiger’s mouth and quietly scanned Han Hao’s body, and found that the man’s right cuff was obviously darker in color, as if it had been soaked by water.
His eyes rarely darkened, and he stepped forward and grabbed Han Hao’s right wrist and raised it for inspection.
“What are you doing!” Han Hao tried to break away, and his sleeves slipped down, revealing the extremely thin cowhide band worn in the middle of his forearm.
“What is this?” Qin Zhi picked up the bullet with his other hand.
Han Hao hissed, withdrew his hand and rubbed it, “The doctor said that the hand tendon has just been connected. Wear this to block it and then loosen it to help clear the meridians.”
Zuo Songqing questioned, “Is this really not going to block your blood vessels?”
Han Hao said seriously: “The doctor said, I am obedient and follow the doctor’s instructions. I don’t need to worry about General Zuo.”
Qin Zhi was speechless.
That cowhide circle always seemed familiar to him…
Zuo Songqing gave the signal, and the imperial army in charge of their team came to collect the prey.Seeing that it was a white tiger, he let out a “tsk”, “You two generals are so lucky and have such good skills! This guy was surrounded by us last year but couldn’t hunt him down. He just struggled and ran away. I didn’t expect that you two captured him.”
Han Hao curled his lips secretly with a look of regret on his face. Qin Zhi happened to see him and immediately turned his head away with a guilty conscience.
Everyone packed up the tigers and sneaked back, and Han Hao also left with the imperial army.
Zuo Songqing saw that Qin Zhi was absent-minded and asked, “What’s the matter? Han Hao has a problem?”
Qin Zhi admired Zuo Songqing’s keenness, but without any proof, he still shook his head, “No. Let’s go back.”
At the end of two hours, Yujia brought back a lot of prey, but most of them were hares and the like, and the biggest ones were nothing more than deer.
Some other groups don’t have much prey, and they all focus on participation.
Qin Zuo’s group had a white tiger, so he came out on top without any doubt.
King Jiang smiled happily, “Qin Zhiguo lives up to the name of General Yuen Long!”
Qin Zhi said hurriedly: “It was all thanks to General Zuo’s superb archery skills that he was able to seal the throat of the white tiger with one arrow. I just helped him from the side.”
“No, General Qin is a cavalryman descended from heaven. If he had not been brave and courageous, calm in the face of danger, and dealt with the white tiger at close range, I would never have had the chance to shoot the arrow that pierced my throat.”
King Jiang smiled and said: “The two of you work well together. You are truly the two best generals of my Jiang Kingdom!”
As soon as these words came out, Han Zhong couldn’t help but darken his face.Even though the king spoke, he couldn’t get angry, so he had to endure the tone and glanced at Han Hao in the crowd.
King Jiang said again: “Although today’s hunting is over, I am very happy. At the dinner party, I will personally celebrate the two of you! I allow all the ministers to take a rest tomorrow, and we will not get drunk together until we return!”
All the ministers responded in unison: “Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!”
That night all the officials were happy and cheerful.
On the third day when the emperor returned to the palace, Qin Zhi was preparing to take a bath in the side hall. Before he could take off his clothes, Li Ci called him to the imperial study room to meet the emperor.
A masked man in mysterious clothes knelt on the floor of the Royal Study. Qin Zhi expected that he was a secret guard.
It’s just that the secret guard has always been hidden, but King Jiang didn’t avoid him. Is this a sign of trust?
Qin Zhi knelt down on one knee and said, “I have met Your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed.”
“No gift.” Jiang Wang threw the book on the table and leaned back on the dragon chair, looking extremely relaxed.
“Leyou, tell him.” Jiang Wang said.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The secret guard returned to King Jiang, and turned slightly sideways towards Qin Zhizhi, who was standing, “When the two generals went to the dense forest, Han Hao was following them. He probably had a trap on his arm, and when you were fighting with the white tiger, he fired a hidden weapon. However, the villain didn’t see clearly what kind of hidden weapon it was. You also checked his right arm afterwards, and you didn’t seem to find anything, right?”
“…” Qin Zhi said nothing and glanced at King Jiang first.
“It’s easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. You offended Han Zhong, so I asked Le You to follow you and protect you, just in case.”
In the eyes of the king, Qin Zhi is a person who still needs the protection of secret guards.
He lamented in his heart, extremely resentful of the rule in Xuanhui Valley that his identity was not allowed to be revealed.
Qin Zhi pursed his lips and said: “Your Majesty has considered it carefully. I thank you for your kindness.”
“There is indeed no mechanism on Han Hao’s right arm.” Qin Zhi turned to Le You again, “This matter is a bit strange. Maybe there is someone else who placed the hidden weapon?”
Le You said: “No. After the two generals left, I checked again and found no other assassins.”
Qin Zhi rubbed his chin, “Well… this is strange…”
Before the imperial army arrived, Qin Zhi had long known that only Zuo Qinghan and three others were present.
His five senses were sharp, and when he fought with the white tiger, his attention was entirely on the tiger, and he did not pay attention to the grass.But as soon as the hidden weapon came out, he noticed Han Hao’s movements and confirmed that there was no fourth person present. This was why he insisted on checking Han Hao’s arm.
Unexpectedly, he found no evidence. He planned to investigate slowly and report the evidence to King Jiang. However, he did not expect that King Jiang would send a secret guard and mentioned the matter first.
“Alright Leyou, continue your investigation and report back if you have any news.” King Jiang lowered his voice, “Also, if the guard is not strong enough, go get thirty sticks yourself.”
“Yes.”
Le You retreated as instructed.
Thirty sticks?How painful it is!
Qin Zhi hurriedly said: “Your Majesty! Who would have thought of this…”
“Want to beg for mercy?” King Jiang interrupted him, his voice suddenly turned cold, as if the dog days of summer turned to cold winter, “First, weigh your own weight!”
“Your Majesty…” Qin Zhi was speechless. Did King Jiang look down on him?
“You and Zuo Songqing dared to fight the White Tiger, which was not surrounded by dozens of imperial troops last year. You are really brave.”
King Jiang gritted his teeth and said, “You still dare to fight up close and risk your life for a reward!?!”
“It’s not that you asked me to behave well…” Qin Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the furious king, almost suffocating with grievance. “On the first day, I followed other people’s rules and lost. If I don’t win on the second day, wouldn’t it be…”
“Isn’t that what it is?” King Jiang patted the imperial court, “I spoil you, so you can keep your life and be favored, and go to capture the tiger alone. If Zuo Songqing’s arrow is a little later, your life will be handed over. I really don’t want to live. I just said a word after being captured. Why do you put so much effort into becoming a general?!”
Qin Zhi didn’t understand the holy meaning for a while and was stunned for a while.
But in this moment, King Jiang remembered something, his attitude changed, his anger disappeared, and his voice softened.
“Okay, I’m just worried about you getting hurt. I, Jiang Guo, lack the talent of a general, and it’s not easy for you to be alone. Don’t put yourself in danger for trivial things, got it.”
This time Qin Zhi understood.
Since they met, he has never seen the king so angry. He was not frightened, but he couldn’t figure out the reason and was a little stunned.
Seeing that the king’s mood eased, he said: “Your Majesty, don’t worry, I will live up to your majesty’s hard work and save your life to help your majesty achieve your great cause.”
“Okay. Back off.” There was a look of tiredness in King Jiang’s eyebrows. Qin Zhizhi was interested and went back to the side hall to take a bath.
