Returning after a three-year escape from death, the tyrant has turned evil.

Chapter 150 If you're not afraid, kiss him.

The two were speaking in hushed tones, but Zuo Sheng, with his excellent hearing, still heard them clearly.

He couldn't help but clench his fists.

Ha. Is it because His Majesty values ​​Xie Ling more than himself that he doesn't want Xie Ling to go to such a thing?
"His Majesty said that I am not needed for such matters for the time being, but I imagine that my pressure will only increase in the future."

"Now that you've been appointed General Who Guards the North, His Majesty naturally values ​​you even more. Sending Zuo Sheng to test the waters in this matter was, in my opinion, a success could have been achieved, but it was only because of General Zuo..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zuo Sheng suddenly rushed forward, his eyes sharp and ruthless: "What if it wasn't me? That I was reckless, that I was impulsive?!"

The man was taken aback, not expecting Zuo Sheng to be listening nearby, and immediately felt somewhat embarrassed.

Xie Ling immediately noticed that something was wrong with Zuo Sheng, and quickly stepped in front of him, placing his hand on Zuo Sheng's shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"General Zuo, please calm down."

Zuo Sheng abruptly slapped his hand away and said gruffly, "Xie Ling, stop pretending to be a good person. What? His Majesty won't let you go, and you're smug about it? You think His Majesty values ​​you the most and thinks highly of you, and you're determined to get the military merit this time, aren't you?"

Xie Ling was somewhat taken aback and couldn't help but shout, "What nonsense are you talking about! Zuo Sheng, as a general, what you should be concerned about now is not who His Majesty values ​​most, but whether you can fulfill the tasks assigned to you and the orders given to you!"

Xie Ling hadn't expected Zuo Sheng to be so agitated. He took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down and said helplessly:

“If you can do everything well, why care what others think of you? His Majesty will naturally value and reward you. But if you are unwilling to change your nature, you will get into trouble sooner or later.”

Zuo Sheng snorted coldly, his appetite completely disgusted by Xie Ling's hypocritical appearance.

"General Xie, what gives you the right to lecture me in such a high and mighty manner? Oh, right, you are the most favored by His Majesty, and you have experience in this matter, so you have to use your experience to teach me a lesson."

Xie Ling was quite angry with him and didn't want to say anything more. Looking at his injuries, she swallowed back her words and simply said, "Take good care of yourself. The soldiers under your command are also injured. You need to comfort them these next few days. Rest for a few days and adjust your mindset."

Zuo Sheng just couldn't stand his unusually magnanimous manner.

"You're really something, aren't you? His Majesty has ordered you to command the entire army and discipline the soldiers at will, but that doesn't give you any right to lecture me. You even dared to challenge His Majesty the other day, how laughable!"

"you!"

Xie Ling's face turned ashen. He stepped forward, about to argue with him, but when he saw who was behind Zuo Sheng, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly clasped his hands and knelt down.

"See Your Majesty!"

Zuo Sheng froze, slowly turned around, and saw Jiang Lanye standing behind him, staring at him without blinking, his eyes filled with dark emotions.

That look was like an icy arrow, piercing Zuo Sheng's heart.

He felt his heart skip a beat, and even the usually bold Zuo Sheng trembled uncontrollably. He hurriedly knelt down, somewhat flustered, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

None of them knew when Jiang Lanye arrived or how much of their argument he had overheard.

Zuo Sheng's lips trembled as he was about to explain when he felt a gust of cold wind in front of him. Jiang Lanye raised his foot and kicked him hard in the chest without any mercy.

The force was so strong that Zuo Sheng was caught off guard and fell backward, awkwardly bracing himself on the ground with his hands and coughing twice.

He was about to straighten his back and kneel properly when Jiang Lanye stepped on his chest again, looking down at him with an indifferent voice, revealing no emotion.

"Zuo Sheng, I have spent countless resources raising you as a general, and this is how you serve me?"

His voice was eerily calm, but the intensity didn't diminish; instead, it gradually increased until Zuo Sheng felt he couldn't breathe and his face turned bright red. Only then did Jiang Lanye stop.

"Cough cough cough... This humble general knows his mistake."

Jiang Lanye didn't bother to look at him again and said, "Go and receive your punishment."

Having said that, he turned and left. Xie Ling and the people around him exchanged glances, all seeing fear in each other's eyes.

Since arriving here, Jiang Lanye has been exceptionally polite to them, to the point that Xie Ling felt the former tyrant had changed, and even that Jiang Lanye wasn't so scary anymore. But when he witnessed what happened just now, he felt as if that kick had landed on him.

Zuo Sheng scrambled to his feet, his eyes bloodshot, unable to utter a single word. He glared fiercely at Xie Ling before limping away.

In the room

After washing her hands, Song Yi quickly washed up again. Just then, someone brought in breakfast from outside the door. Song Yi took it and thanked them.

Strange. I just saw Jiang Lanye standing over there, how come he disappeared in the time it takes to wash his hands?

Song Yi took the food back and, looking at the fragrant dishes, began to struggle.

Should I wait for him to come back, or eat first?

Or, she could take a bite to taste it first.

Just as she was struggling with this decision, the door opened again, and Jiang Lanye walked in.

Song Yi couldn't contain her excitement and urged, "Go wash your hands, I'm so hungry."

I was really tired after helping those soldiers stop the bleeding and bandage their wounds.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Jiang Lanye seemed to be acting strangely.

The anger on her face hadn't yet subsided when she walked up to Jiang Lanye, looked up at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Lanye suddenly hugged her tightly and said, "I just punished Zuo Sheng."

Song Yi was taken aback. Without asking why, she simply said, "Okay, he must have made a mistake. Don't let him upset you."

Jiang Lanye responded sullenly, then added, "I also kicked him."

Song Yi didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, she said uncertainly, "So you're... really amazing?"

Jiang Lanye asked again, "Do you think I'm scary?"

He did notice the way Xie Ling and the others looked at him. Their eyes were filled with fear, just like a year ago. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a monster.

Song Yi immediately said, "It's not scary."

She roughly guessed what was going on and couldn't help but laugh, "You are an emperor, and emperors should be feared. Besides, it's normal for others to be afraid of you after you punished Zuo Sheng."

"Are you really not afraid of me?"

He asked again.

"Not afraid."

Song Yi answered decisively.

"Then kiss me."

".ah?"

The conversation changed so quickly that Song Yi didn't understand for a moment. She wasn't afraid that there was any necessary connection between him and his marriage.
