Zhao Xingzhi came to Qin Yu. What he wanted to know was Qin Yu's attitude towards the current situation.
Facing the Chu army, Qin Yu planned to hold on or retreat.
This is even related to whether Zhao Xingzhi can return to the capital. As for his own life or death, Zhao Xingzhi doesn't care at all.
If Qin Yu wants to hold on, Zhao Xingzhi will send his family away first.
If Qin Yu chose to retreat, Zhao Xingzhi would ask his family to retreat with Qin Yu, while he would go to the front line.
This is an opportunity to make a contribution, and Zhao Xingzhi must not give it up, otherwise it will be difficult to return to the capital.
If he could not return to the capital and stay in such a remote place for the rest of his life, life would be worse than death for Zhao Xingzhi.
Qin Yu's reply to Zhao Xingzhi left Zhao Xingzhi wondering what to do.
"I heard that Mr. Zhao has asked the county governor for reinforcements, but even if the county governor sends troops for reinforcements, it will probably take more than ten days. But if the Chu army comes over, we will see the Chu army early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Xingzhi's face darkened. What Qin Yu said was indeed true. As long as the Chu army was willing to come to Cang County, they would be able to see the Chu army early tomorrow morning.
"So, Mr. Qin is planning to find trouble with the Chu army first?" Zhao Xingzhi looked at Qin Yu in surprise.
Qin Yu smiled and said: "We in Cang County only have this small number of troops. How can we find the strength to cause trouble for the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops? We just sent people to keep an eye on them. If there is any abnormal movement of the Chu troops, we can respond in time."
Zhao Xingzhi nodded, Qin Yu was not too carried away yet.
Qin Yu then said: "Master Zhao, I know that you have been a high official in the capital, so I have something to ask you."
"Master Qin is too polite, but it doesn't matter. As long as Zhao can do it, I will never refuse." Zhao Xingzhi smiled and stroked his beard.
Qin Yu stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Master Zhao, now the Chu army may resist outside Cang County at any time. I also want to ask Master Zhao to come forward to appease the people and lead them out of the city to avoid disaster."
Zhao Xingzhi froze immediately, stood up immediately and said, "Master Qin, do you want Zhao to escape before the battle!?"
"If we defend Cang County, all the credit will be attributed to Mr. Zhao. If we fail to defend it, Mr. Zhao will also have a share of the credit for protecting the people of our Tang Kingdom. Please consider it, Mr. Zhao." Qin Yu cupped his hands and said.
After hearing this, Zhao Xingzhi began to think deeply. In this case, he did not suffer much loss.
Qin Yu continued: "Master Zhao, I know you are eager to make meritorious deeds in order to increase your chances of returning to the capital. I am giving this opportunity to Master Zhao."
Zhao Xingzhi looked at Qin Yu with doubts in his eyes and gave the credit to himself. What did Qin Yu think?
Next, Qin Yu answered Zhao Xingzhi's doubts.
"Master Zhao, I said before that I am a person without ambition. I have no idea about going to the capital or anywhere else. I just want to stay here in Cang County to retire, so the credit is of no use to me."
"The credit goes to Mr. Zhao, but it will also make Mr. Zhao think of me well. In the future, Mr. Zhao will be able to take care of Cang County when he returns to the capital."
Hearing what Qin Yu said, Zhao Xingzhi felt a lot more at ease. He was afraid that Qin Yu would make some conspiracy.
"In this case, Zhao will be disrespectful. If something happens in the future, Zhao will never refuse as long as he can do it!" Zhao Xingzhi tried his best to suppress the smile on his face.
Seeing that Zhao Xingzhi agreed, Qin Yu also looked happy.
Although there is no need to ask Zhao Xingzhi for this matter, as Xiao He said, selling Zhao Xingzhi's favor might be useful in the future.
After settling the matter, Qin Yu left the county magistrate's office directly.
Before leaving the county magistrate's house, Qin Yu looked around the county magistrate's house, but unfortunately he didn't see Zhao Ling'er, so he had to shake his head and leave in disappointment.
And this scene happened to be seen by Zhao Xingzhi.
Zhao Xingzhi's eyes flashed with depth, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhao came to Zhao Xingzhi's side.
"Master, is this really okay? If those in the court find out, I'm afraid they will criticize me." Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Xingzhi with a worried look.
Zhao Xingzhi looked up at the sky, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
"I'm sorry, the way of this world is to do whatever it takes, and you can't help yourself!"
Suddenly, Zhao Xingzhi's expression became extremely firm.
"We must go back to the capital, and we will get back our old and new grudges!"
Zhao Xingzhi's words seemed to prick the sadness in Mrs. Zhao's heart. Tears fell from the corners of Mrs. Zhao's eyes, she covered her mouth with her hands and kept sobbing.
"well!"
Zhao Xingzhi let out a long sigh, with a complicated look in his eyes.
······
After Qin Yu left the county magistrate's house, he returned home directly.
Along the way, people who usually chatted on the roadside also hid in their homes. It seemed that the haze caused by the war could be felt hundreds of miles away.
Qin Yu had just sat down when the system panel suddenly appeared in front of him.
[System prompt: The host’s reputation reaches 9534, and the number of prize draws is 1! 】
Qin Yu's spirit was shaken. At this time, his reputation finally exceeded 9,000, and he could finally draw another prize.
Although he was very excited, Qin Yu did not rush into the lottery.
Qin Yu hoped that he would get good things in this lottery. In order to show the importance of this lottery, he had to take a shower and change clothes.
After Qin Yu was ready, he faced the system panel and bowed deeply.
"System Dad! You must give me something good this time to help me tide over the difficulties! Thank you System Dad in advance!"
After paying homage to the system, Qin Yu started the lottery tremblingly.
When the light spots of the lottery kept flashing among the prizes, Qin Yu closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and prayed continuously in his heart.
"System dad! Please! System dad! Please..."
[Congratulations to the host, you have won the prize: a superior war horse! 】
Qin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, bursts of golden light burst out from his eyes.
Excellent war horse! Oh my God! The system is so awesome! You just get whatever you want!
"Thank you, system dad!" Qin Yu bowed deeply to the system panel in front of him again.
Then he looked at the system panel again, but this time Qin Yu discovered that something like an energy bar appeared under the horse's card.
Qin Yu clicked on the energy bar, and an introduction to the energy bar appeared immediately.
[Time cooling bar, after the host uses the item, the item falls into the cooling time, and the item cannot be used during this period. Note: The more you use, the longer the cooling time. You can use valuables to purchase the cooling acceleration pack! 】
"So this is a cooling bar. I didn't expect that there is such a thing. It's like playing a game." Qin Yu didn't pay much attention to this and immediately used the prize.
"According to the current resources in Cang County, raising a thousand war horses is a huge problem, but there is still a lot of wasteland outside the city. If it is opened up into pasture, it should be possible to raise about three thousand war horses."
"And now that the war is urgent, war horses are absolutely indispensable! With war horses, I can do more things!"
Thinking of this, Qin Yu directly exchanged the war horse.
