The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

"Well, since Your Highness says so, I will speak frankly."

"May I ask where did you pick up these equipment, Your Highness, and how many did you find?"

Ishihara asked stubbornly.

He was an imperial envoy, and was ordered to come to Hulun to investigate the origins of the heavy cavalry.

If he was fooled by any random excuse, how would he explain to His Majesty when he returned?

"I found these equipment when I passed by a mountain valley before arriving in Hulan. The specific address is 300 miles south of Hulan City."

"As for the quantity, I have found a total of 500 sets of heavy cavalry equipment and 1,000 sets of auxiliary equipment."

Ning Quan deliberately thought for a moment and said.

"Then... Your Highness, do you know who lost the heavy cavalry equipment?"

Ishihara continued to ask.

"How would I know? I discovered it by accident."

Ning Quan shook his head.

"Haha, Your Highness is so lucky."

After listening to Ning Quan's words, Ishihara smiled bitterly.

Of course he didn't believe what Ning Quan said.

But since Ning Quan said so, he had no choice but to accept it.

The only thing he could do was to report the truth to His Majesty.

"Master Shi, do you have any other questions?"

Ning Quan asked with a smile.

"I have no problem now."

Ishihara shook his head.

"Since there are no problems, then the matter is understood."

"After Lord Shi returns, he only needs to report the truth to His Majesty."

"As for the rest of the matter, it has nothing to do with Lord Shi. How His Majesty handles it is His Majesty's business."

"Master Shi, do you understand?"

Ning Quan said with profound meaning.

"Your Highness, I understand."

Ishihara nodded in response.

Ning Quan said it lightly, but Ishihara felt the meaning or attitude that Ning Quan wanted to express.

What he meant was that this matter had nothing to do with Ishihara, and he only needed to inform His Majesty of the result.

And the attitude is that His Highness is not afraid of falling out with His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Ishihara suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He had a premonition that Ning Quan might become a Li Chenglin or Fang Xiaolian.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, Master Shi can leave."

"Master Li, please stay. I want to talk to you about family matters."

Ning Quan said.

Hearing Ning Quan's words, Ishihara quickly agreed and respectfully left the county government office.

"Your Highness, you gave such a ridiculous excuse, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will get angry?"

After Ishihara left, Li Hengtai asked with a serious expression.

Of course he understood what Ning Quan said just now.

Ning Quan clearly showed that he was not afraid of falling out with His Majesty.

"Haha, even if he turns against me, what can he do to me?"

"Brother, don't you think so?"

Ning Quan looked at Li Hengtai and spoke calmly.

"Forehead......."

Li Hengtai was speechless.

"Your Highness is right. His Majesty really can't do anything to you."

After a moment, Li Taiheng smiled bitterly.

Beiting had been independent for thirty years, but the imperial court was unable to deal with it.

Now that Ning Quan is stronger, what can he do to him?

"Since there is no other way, what is the eldest brother-in-law worried about?"

"Don't worry, brother-in-law. Unless he forces me to rebel, I won't do anything reckless."

"At least this king recognizes the Daqian Dynasty and acknowledges him as His Majesty."

Ning Quan laughed

"Yes! It would be best if Your Highness could think so."

Upon hearing this, Li Taiheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Will my brother-in-law and father-in-law be implicated because of me?"

Ning Quan suddenly stopped smiling and asked seriously.

"Your Highness, don't worry about this."

"As long as you don't rebel openly, Your Majesty won't do anything to me and my father.

After all, your marriage with Wanyue was arranged by His Majesty, which is why we are related.

If Your Majesty punishes me and my father for this matter, how will the people of the world view Your Majesty?

Li Hengtai said slowly.

"Well, I understand. That's all."

After hearing what Li Hengtai said, Ning Quan felt relieved.

He was really worried that his father-in-law's family would be implicated.

"Your Highness, I dare to ask, do you plan to..."

After pondering for a moment, Li Hengtai hesitated to speak.

"Are you planning something?"

"Are you planning a rebellion? Are you planning to restore the previous dynasty?"

Ning Quan asked with a smile.

"Well………"

Li Hengtai touched his nose awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

"Don't worry, brother. It won't happen."

"Isn't the king doing well now? Why should he restore the throne?"

"Besides, the world is so vast. If I have ambitions, why don't I go somewhere else instead of just this small piece of land in Daqian?"

"Brother-in-law, I'm telling you the truth. I don't hate His Majesty."

"After all, he gave birth to me and raised me. Even though he hates me, he didn't take my life, even if he banished me to this godforsaken place."

"As an emperor, he is already merciful for doing this, so I don't blame him."

Ning Quan said solemnly.

"Your Highness really doesn't hate His Majesty?"

Li Taiheng was also surprised to hear Ning Quan say this.

He never expected that Ning Quan did not hold a grudge against His Majesty.

"of course."

"Just because I don't hold a grudge against him doesn't mean I won't hold a grudge against others, like the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince. They must all die!"

Then, Ning Quan changed the subject and said with a cold expression.

"Your Highness...you?"

Li Hengtai's pupils shrank and he said in a deep voice.

"Yes, they must die."

"I don't care about their humiliation of me, but they absolutely shouldn't have implicated my mother."

When Ning Quan mentioned his mother, his eyes became bloodshot and he roared with gritted teeth.

Although he was a time traveler, his body was given to him by his mother and his mother's blood flows in his body.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that won't work. They are, after all, His Majesty's sons."

"If you kill the Third Prince and others, wouldn't that mean..."

Li Hengtai said in shock.

"Haha, I don't care about these things. If anyone dares to stop me, we will die together."

"Of course, I won't attack him."

"At worst, after I've taken my revenge, I'll return the kingdom to him."

Ning Quan said in a cold voice with a flash of madness in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you......"

"Ugh!"

Seeing Ning Quan so determined, Li Hengtai wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and said no more.

He knew very well that persuasion would not work.

.......

And just as the two were talking.

In the Hexi Protectorate, the eldest prince Ning Zhen sat in his study with a frown on his face.

Ever since he received the letter from Anxi a few days ago, informing him that Beiting had fallen into Ning Quan's hands, he had not slept all night.

Ning Quan's development was so fast that he was caught off guard.

In just half a year, he took over Beiting. Now, only Changhe City is still surviving in Beiting.

If this continues, it won’t be long before the entire Beiting will fall into Ning Quan’s hands.

"Damn Ning Quan, I will never forgive you."

After a long time, Ning Zhen growled in a low voice.

Ning Quan's growing strength has undoubtedly become a threat to his position and even the entire Daqian.
