Happy Emperor

Chapter 151 Tang Bo wants to run away

"This...how is this possible?"

An Bilie still didn't want to believe it.

How could that old man, the benefactor who saved them and their son from danger, be from the State of Zhao?

"An Bilie, do you remember I asked you? Did anyone know our whereabouts when we came here?"

"Your Majesty, I..."

An Bilie had nothing to say. Indeed, only Uncle Fu and Lin Qin knew the truth.

Moreover, Uncle Fu seemed to be very concerned about Emperor Li's whereabouts.

Without Lin Feng's order, he specially arranged meals for the Royal Guards and fed the war horses.

Now that I think about it, it seems that all this was done to delay their departure so that the message could be delivered to Anfeng City first.

"Your Majesty, I... I can be considered to have made meritorious contributions while serving my sentence."

Kneeling on the ground, Lu Jianyan asked in a low voice.

"Yes, of course."

Lin Tian replied coldly.

When Lu Jianyan saw Emperor Li's expression, he shuddered all over, but he was secretly lucky.

He didn't expect that he could still save his life after falling into such a dead end.

As long as he is alive, even if he doesn't become an official in the future, he will definitely live a good life with the wealth of his Lu family.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to let him go just like that?"

An Bilie looked at Lu Jianyan viciously.

"An Bilie, do you want me to go back on my word?"

Lin Tianwei said angrily. He was not very satisfied with An Bilie's performance today.

This guy is a typical person who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and he is easily emotional in everything he does.

Lin Tian doesn't think this is a bad quality, but he can't become stupid just because of "emotions"!

At least you need to distinguish which ones are true and which ones are false!

"Your Majesty, I dare not!" An Bilie replied helplessly.

Indeed, the ruler of a country cannot go back on his word.

When Lu Jianyan heard this, a hint of pride appeared in his triangular eyes.

A glimmer of hope ignited in my heart again.

"Thank you... thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me. I will serve Daxia and the Emperor faithfully from now on."

"Humph."

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Jianyan. He really didn't expect that Lu Jianyan was still dreaming of becoming an official at this moment?

"Do you think I still have you?"

"Uh....Sir, that's not what I meant."

Lu Jianyan hurriedly explained: "I...I mean, I am willing..."

"An Xia, and all the capable ministers of Da Xia in this room."

Lin Tian didn't listen to what Lu Jianyan wanted to explain, but spoke to the other people in the room.

"What I just said was that I would not personally execute Lu Jianyan. I am the emperor of Daxia, and I will never break my promise."

"However, if there are any personal grudges between you, I don't want to get involved."

"Don't hurt Li Se, he can still be useful!"

After saying that, Lin Tian opened the door and walked out.

Li Zuo and Duan Chengming also followed him out and closed the door tightly.

Lu Jianyan: ".......Your Majesty, no, no!"

After Lu Jianyan's last words were heard in the room, only the crackling sound remained.

........

The next day.

It was just getting light.

"Your Majesty, I know you are anxious to go to Qingning Mansion to handle important matters, so I will not try to keep you here any longer."

"The old ministers in the other eight cities of Liaoan Province will arrange for people to notify them. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Outside the city of Anfeng, Li Zuo led a group of Anfeng officials out of the city to welcome and see off Emperor Li.

"Thank you, Li Zuo, the governor. Once I have dealt with the affairs of Qingning Prefecture, I will send someone to take you there to take up your position as governor."

"I am old and really no longer suitable for this position."

An Xia thought about it all night last night and decided to reject Emperor Li's request.

This emperor will not be as merciful as the previous emperor, and will not abide by any rules at all.

Lu Jianyan’s death is a good example.

"Okay, since Governor Li is unwilling, I won't make it difficult for you. But..."

Lin Tian glanced at Duan Chengming standing beside him and said, "Let Duan Chengming take on the position of Governor of Liaoan Province first. However, you should stay here for the time being and be responsible for the grain transportation."

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

Li Zuo and Duan Chengming immediately knelt down and bowed.

Emperor Li's arrangement was obviously made to take Li Zuo's feelings into consideration.

Now that Liaoan Province is in Duan Chengming's hands, Li Zuo can continue to develop Liaoan Province according to his own ideas, and his wishes can be carried out.

"Rise up! As long as we, the ruler and the ministers, are united, I believe this Great Xia will once again become the Great Xia it once was."

After saying this, Lin Tian turned and headed towards Qingning Mansion.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

Less than an hour later, Lin Tian and his group arrived at the north-south fork again.

"An Xia, when you go to Longfeng County to deal with Uncle Fu this time, if possible, you should kill him secretly. It would be best if the Lin family doesn't know about it."

"As you wish,"

An Xia paused and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you need to capture him alive?"

"No need! Since he has been able to hide in Daxia for so many years and still be willing to be loyal to Zhao, do you think he will say anything to me if I capture him?"

"and......."

Lin Tian glanced at An Bilie standing beside him and said, "No matter what, he has done a favor for your An family. I am unwilling to torture an old man again for the sake of your An family."

"According to the order."

An Xia's face flushed slightly.

Emperor Li really thought about every detail of their home settlement. It is rare to find such an emperor.

Although An Bilie didn't say anything, he looked at Emperor Li with gratitude.

The emperor could do this, so even if he was asked to die immediately, he would not hesitate at all.

After a day of continuous travel, he passed through several counties under the jurisdiction of Qingning Prefecture. However, Lin Tian did not enter the city to rest for a while.

He had been chasing Huang Tianba and his group, but he never saw any of them.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take a rest first. We have been traveling all day, your health..."

After passing by a stream again, An Bilie came to Emperor Li and whispered advice.

"Have the people who were waiting for Huang Tianba returned?"

Lin Tian got off his horse and looked back.

"Not yet. According to the agreement, they need to wait there for three hours. It will probably take at least two hours for them to arrive."

In order to determine the exact location of Huang Tianba and his group, Lin Tian sent several officers and soldiers to the front and back.

"Okay, let's rest here for a while."

Lin Tian held Qi Mengchan's hand and went to the woods again. This time, An Bilie was much smarter and did not follow them, but hid far away.

The reason why Lin Tian agreed to stop and rest was that he knew Qingning Prefecture was not a small place like Anfeng City and Longfeng County. It would be very difficult for their 500 imperial guards to "capture" it even with muskets.

Without waiting for Lin Tian to say anything, Qi Mengchan sat down skillfully, stretched out her beautiful legs, and waited for Lin Tian to lie down.

"This...this is too easy to tame."

Lin Tian did not lie down, but stared at Qi Mengchan blankly.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried horse hooves.

Lin Tian immediately looked towards the source of the sound and saw two figures running towards them rapidly.

Soon, the two of them came closer and reported to An Bilie after seeing him.

After hearing what the two said, An Bilie frowned immediately.

He walked quickly to Lin Tian and said with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, General Huang has arrived outside Qingning Prefecture, but..."

"Tang Bo led his men to guard the city gate and prevented him from entering?"

Lin Tian guessed.

But even so, the soldiers available to Tang Bo are nothing more than those ruffians in Longfeng County. It would be easy for Huang Tianba to capture them.

"There were people guarding the city, but they weren't soldiers. They were the people of Qingning Prefecture holding torches and refusing to let them in."

"General Huang is unsure how to proceed. Your Majesty, please make the decision."

"Not good!" Lin Tian stood up immediately after hearing this.

"Uncle Tang is about to run away."
