The Bad Guys: Don’t call me Little Emperor Taizong
Page 160
“Why? The previous king died in battle. Do you suspect that I would go along with the enemy who killed my husband?”
It’s not impossible!
As soon as she finished speaking, these four words appeared in everyone’s mind at the same time.
But in the end I didn’t dare tell the truth.
All he could do was to bow once again and say, “Your Highness, we dare not!”
According to the customs of the grassland, Shuliduo would lose his status as soon as Abaoji died.
The one who will greet her will only be the next King of Mobei, who will continue to sow excellent bloodlines.
But with the establishment of the Liao Dynasty, Abaoji carried out reforms.
Shuliduo’s status is different now. The King of Mobei’s choice has changed from brother to son, and Shuliduo’s status has also risen.
She is now the real Empress Dowager of Liao…
“My 100,000 Mobei cavalry were defeated by Li Changping. The King of Liao, Shili Qixiang, Dahefeng, and Yaoyan were all killed in the battle. What you should do now is to prepare for revenge instead of doubting the origins of a pitiful person…”
“Mother!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a big man who had been lying on Yelu Bao’s body crying came over and almost knelt down and hugged Shuliduo’s legs.
He raised his head, his eyes full of determination: “Mother, I want to avenge my father!”
Shuliduo touched his temple lovingly and said, “Yaoguang, from now on you will be the king of Liao!”
“what?”
With just one sentence, everyone in the tent stood up instantly.
Several people even shouted, “Queen, the late king loved King Dongdan the most when he was alive. Why don’t you respect the late king’s wishes?”
“The King of Dongdan only knows how to play the piano and chess. He doesn’t deserve to be king!”
Facing everyone’s questioning, Shuliduo did not give in. His cold eyes slowly swept across the tent, pausing only for a moment on Mirror Heart Demon.
“But no matter what, we must follow the wishes of the late king.”
“Since you all like the late king so much, then go and accompany him!”
After saying that, Shuliduo struck with both palms, and dozens of Liao soldiers immediately ran in from outside the door.
Without any reason, he tied up the minister’s shoulders and arms tightly.
Until this moment, these ministers understood…
The military power of the Liao Kingdom had long fallen into the hands of Shuliduo, and Yelu Bao was unknowingly sidelined.
Seeing this, Shuliduo waved his hand again.
The Liao army dragged these ministers out of the king’s tent like dead dogs.
Other members of the Yelu lineage also left the scene.
In the blink of an eye, except for Abaoji’s body, only Shulido and Jingxinmo were left in the entire tent.
Mirror Heart Demon put his hands behind his back, three copper coins kept turning in his palms, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He could never have imagined that Li Changping would entrust this mission to him.
Compared to Sanqianyuan who is good at disguise, Xianshen who is superb at witchcraft, and Li Maozhen who has strong internal strength, I am almost useless except for fortune-telling.
This time we are deep in the dragon’s den. The only thing we can do is to keep telling fortunes and avoid all dangers in order to survive.
Feeling that the copper coin did not indicate that he would suffer a bloody disaster, Mirror Heart Demon felt a little relieved.
She pretended to be calm and pinched her little finger, whispering in a sharp voice: “Queen Mother, I believe you know better than me what His Majesty wants.”
“I understand naturally, no need for you to remind me!”
“That would be great! But the Queen must also understand that what His Majesty wants is not nominal submission, but for Mobei to become a bloody blade, only for His Majesty to command.”
“Yao Guang grew up under my watch. When he comes to power, he will certainly let me do whatever I want. When the time comes, I will participate in the government and take this opportunity to kill all of Abaoji’s old ministers, including the King of Dongdan!”
“What if Yelu Yaoguang doesn’t obey?”
“Then please, Your Majesty, get rid of them all together!”
The bland and heartless words made Mirror Heart Demon feel a little creepy.
Chapter 152: Whips Strike, Golden Pedals Sound, and Victory Songs Are Sung
Changan.
Stepping into the city again, Li Changping was filled with emotion.
I remember the last time I left was to steal the Longquan treasure.
Although there were people living here at that time, it was still desolate everywhere.
But now when I look back, it is full of flowers.
Before reaching the city gate, a victory song was played in front of them. Amid the melodious drum music, two rows of Tang troops lined up to greet them.
Some people couldn’t help but hit the stirrups with whips, making a “dang dang dang” sound that echoed with the triumphant song.
And in the center of the Tang army.
The two women, one tall and the other smartly dressed, both bowed in advance, and the moment they saw Li Changping, they shouted loudly:
“Your subordinate Shi Yao (Li Cunren) respectfully welcomes Your Highness back to the court!”
“Um……”
Li Changping nodded.
Without further ado, he rode forward.
Shi Yao and Li Cunren stood on both sides to make way.
Behind him, Li Maozhen and a group of Qi troops also followed at full speed.
“Ha ha……”
Seeing Chang’an, which was completely different from when he left, and the bright armor and weapons of the Tang soldiers on both sides, Li Changping felt deeply sad, but a smile appeared on his face.
This is all the money I earned from working hard.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t sleep on the mountain of gold and silver.
But he was also pleased to see the thriving Tang Dynasty.
My efforts and the Han River were not in vain, and blackmail is still necessary.
It’s a pity that Yuan Tiangang is dead, otherwise, with his three hundred years of experience, he would know exactly where the treasure is…
Just thinking so.
Li Changping suddenly discovered…
The Tang troops on both sides, including Shi Yao and Li Cunren, looked at him with something strange in their eyes.
In addition to the enthusiasm and respect that should be there, there is also some indescribable meaning.
The look was as if he was looking at a heartless man!
what’s the situation?
He had a feeling that something was wrong.
For the sake of his great cause, he has not married yet. He cannot let Batu down by putting such a messy hat on his head.
“Ahem…Has anything happened in Chang’an recently?”
“no!”
Shi Yao shook her head and said no, but her expression became more and more strange.
Although Li Cunren was wearing a mask, his eyes kept blinking, as if he was sending some secret signal.
“Why are you blinking? If you have something to say, say it now!”
Li Changping was even more confused.
The next moment, Li Maozhen’s horse speed suddenly increased, and he did not slow down until he was behind his horse’s butt.
His ears trembled slightly, as if he was listening to something.
“Your Highness, there is really nothing serious happening in Chang’an, it’s just…”
Shi Yao was about to speak when Li Cunren pinched her arm hard.
Turning back to see Li Maozhen, he quickly lowered his voice and said:
“Your Highness, this matter concerns the bloodline of the Li Tang royal family. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to talk about it separately in the future! Besides, don’t you know what’s going on with your family?”
“You’ve already said it, haven’t you? What’s the point of being upright and honest? Just say it straight!”
The more Shi Yao asked riddles, the more anxious Li Changping became.
Apart from himself and Li Xingyun, where else in this world is there royal blood?
Could it be that Shi Yao stole a child from somewhere and planned to pretend that he was of Li’s bloodline?
“Did that subordinate really say that?”
“Say!”
At this moment, Li Changping had a grim expression on his face and was on the verge of a rage.
Seeing this, Shi Yao no longer concealed it. While paying attention to his expression, she said carefully:
“Your Highness may have forgotten that many years ago, Your Highness had a brief affair with a woman from Chang’an…”
“Bullshit! How dare you spread rumors and cause trouble?”
Before Shi Yao could finish her words, Li Changping’s face turned pale.
I just want to know why the people in Chang’an look at me in a strange way.
When he heard about the feat of 3,000 defeating 100,000, he didn’t bow down or praise them highly. Instead, he looked at them with a look of “as expected”.
This means that he and the ancestors of the Li family are all of the same kind.
Absolutely abominable!
This is blatant slander and a malicious rumor spread by the enemy.
But when I thought about this, I suddenly felt something was wrong…
With the brains of people like Li Siyuan, no matter how stupid they are, they should not spread rumors about him based on his chaotic private life.
Just ask the people of the world…
Who doesn’t know that Li’s lifestyle is problematic?
Even if this rumor was successful, others would think it was natural, and it would further prove that his Li bloodline was pure without a trace of impurities.
The most people complain about him is that he has the style of his ancestors.
With such little destructive power, it would be quicker to just spread rumors that he has a homosexual fetish.
It shouldn’t be the enemy who did it.
Is Shi Yao crazy? How dare she make a fuss about his private life?
“What’s going on? Tell the truth!”
“Your Highness, your son and daughter are here! I have already arranged a house for them and asked someone to take good care of it…”
After saying these two sentences, Li Changping felt as if he was struck by lightning.
“My son and daughter? Are you kidding?”
“It is indeed true! The people of Chang’an all say so. I personally arranged their accommodation.”
At this point, Li Cunren no longer concealed the truth.
I just gritted my teeth and continued to speak despite the pressure as great as the sky behind me:
“That girl’s eyes were red, and she was just like you when she was practicing. She seemed like a different person. I will never forget the bloody evil spirit that lingered around her. She is simply of the same lineage as you!”
“And that baby boy, at the age of just being born, has a great inner strength. I would like to ask, who else in this world can do this except you and the Bad Commander?”
