Happy Emperor

He added, "They're only here to test our nerves. They won't believe anything I say. If they deny it, they'll think we're planning a surprise attack!"

The butler beside him also frowned after hearing Li Yi's explanation.

He secretly sighed at the Emperor Li's clever tactics.

In fact, Li Yi didn’t say another meaning.

That is, it is impossible for him to explain anything to these royal officials now.

After all, brother Li Ren had already wanted to surrender.

Lin Tian had also determined this about Li Yi before doing this.

He arranged for Huang Tianba to deliver the taro just to give the Li Ren brothers another push.

"Master, even if explanations don't work, isn't the initiative still in the hands of the prince?"

The butler spoke to comfort him, "When two sides are at war, as long as the prince doesn't send troops to participate, proving it with actions is more convincing than explanations!"

Li Yi just smiled when he heard it and didn't explain anything further.

Emperor Li was at war with King Pingdong, and it seemed that the three kings of different surnames could remain unscathed.

In fact, no matter which side wins, a unified situation will be formed in the end.

The victor only needs a few more years of recuperation before putting pressure on the three of them.

At that time, the three kings of different surnames had only two choices.

Surrender! Or join the enemy!

There is no longer even the option of fighting to the death.

Because by then, even if the three companies unite, they will no longer be able to resist the winner.

But if they surrender, they will have no chance to enjoy the fruits of victory.

He will definitely not be able to keep his position as a vassal king.

Departing to the enemy country! ?

Based on his understanding of the three kings of different surnames, they would rather die in battle than do that.

Moreover, there would be no good outcome if you defected to the enemy country.

Not only will it fail to win the trust of the enemy emperor, but it will also drag the territory into the front line of the war between the two countries.

No matter which side wins in the end, they will eventually be despised.

Just like chamber pots, they are stinking from being urinated on when needed at night, but once the day comes, they will only be despised.

Although the three kings of different surnames did not say this explicitly, they had already reached a consensus on this point.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent a special envoy to Shengjing in such a hurry.

"Notify the palace guards and prepare the carriages. They will follow me out of the city to welcome the special envoys sent by the two vassal kings, Wang and Zhao!"

Li Yi waved to the housekeeper and said in a deep voice.

"Master, didn't you say they wouldn't arrive until tomorrow? Besides, even if they did, there's no need for us to go out of town to greet them! Wouldn't that be demeaning?"

The housekeeper in Li Yi's mansion was his servant when he was a child, and they had a very good relationship.

So some things can be said bluntly.

"This time is different! The people sent by the two vassal kings, Wang and Zhao, are definitely no less prestigious than me. And..."

Li Yi sighed and said, "Moreover, the arrival of these two people may change the future direction of Daxia. We are supporting both families and must ensure the safety of these people."

While the two were talking.

The palace guards rushed into the room.

He said urgently, "Master Changshi, a group of masked men came outside and said...that they wanted to see you. I think they have bad intentions."

"Master? Do you want to..."

The housekeeper was shocked when he heard this and immediately wanted to prepare to help Li Yi escape through the secret door.

Li Yi waved his hand and asked coldly, "Who is coming?"

He was not panicked because he was in Shengjing now.

Apart from Emperor Li, he didn't believe that anyone else would dare to openly attack his mansion.

"The leader said his name was An Bilie."

"Ambili?"

Hearing that it was An Bilie coming, Li Yi frowned slightly.

You come so late and still dressed like this.

What does Emperor Li want to do?

But no matter what, the favorite person around the emperor cannot be missed.

He did not dare to delay and walked quickly towards the gate.

When the door of the mansion was opened, An Bilie was seen wearing black and riding a horse.

Behind him were dozens of people dressed in the same attire, all of them full of energy and energy, and they were obviously masters of the Imperial Palace.

"This outfit, coupled with the dark and windy night..."

Li Yi couldn't help but think more.

But he still went to meet him immediately, forcing a smile on his face.

"I didn't know Commander An was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming him!"

When An Bilie saw Li Yi coming, he immediately got off his horse.

He said with a serious face, "Li Changshi, I am here on the orders of the Emperor to help you pick up the two special envoys from the King of a different surname."

"The Emperor also said that Li Changshi would be required to leave the city tonight to greet the envoy and ensure his safety."

Li Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this!

He didn't expect that Emperor Li could handle everything under such pressure as King Pingdong's upcoming northern expedition.

What a strong ability to withstand pressure this requires!

Moreover, Emperor Li also specially sent An Bilie to protect the envoy's safety.

Although the two people do the same thing.

But the underlying meaning may be somewhat different.

He just wanted to be meticulous and not make any mistakes.

Emperor Li's actions may indicate that there are indeed security issues in Shengjing.

But what security issues could Shengjing have now?

Are there guards at home for the chief officials of the royal palaces?

Compared with the Shengjing defenders, these people were like adults beating children, it was just a game.

"Commander An, you are too polite. I originally wanted to go out of the city tonight to welcome the two special envoys."

Li Yi paused and said tentatively, "Commander An, His Majesty's safety is more important. Otherwise, you can go back and I will lead the palace guards to greet them. Moreover, it is reported that the two special envoys are accompanied by several experts for their safety."

"No! Your Majesty has given us an order, and we dare not disobey."

An Bilie refused.

Lin Tian and his friends learned from Zhen Niu Meng a few days ago that Yanyu Pavilion had colluded with Lin Zhen.

It was also discovered that there were many masters inside the Yanyu Pavilion.

In order not to alert the enemy, we didn't touch them.

"Okay, I'll go with you now."

Li Yi is now even more certain that there is indeed a problem in Shengjing.

But the emperor didn't say anything, and he couldn't ask more.

Now we can only act according to the emperor's arrangements.

.......

at the same time.

Inside the secret room of Shengjing Yanyu Pavilion.

Li Deli leaned on the Zen chair.

Holding a delicate and small purple clay teapot in his hand, he takes a sip from time to time.

A charming beauty, dressed very coolly, was kneeling beside him to serve.

If the room wasn't dark, the gauze clothes would have been unable to hide her revealing beauty.

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door in the dark.

Li Deli looked unhappy at the critical moment. He put on his pants and then shouted to the outside world, "Come in."

"Master Li, the person sent to contact Beihuan has returned."

The man lowered his head and stared at his feet, not daring to look up.

"Oh?"

Li Deli's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a cold voice, "Sorry for disturbing my pleasure. If this isn't good news, you know what the consequences will be."

"Yes...it's good news."

The man knelt down hurriedly and stammered.

"At first, the people we sent to contact Qi Mengchan, the daughter of the Northern Huan Wolf Lord, were unsuccessful..."

"Snapped!"

The man didn't wait for him to finish his words.

Li Deli threw the teapot in his hand heavily on the back of his head.

Blood immediately flowed out from the back of his head.

"Are you looking for death?! Is this good news?"

"Master Li, we later captured Qi Mengchan's deputy, and he is willing to pledge allegiance to us."

The man didn't dare to resist, or even say another word.

"Next time, stay focused!"

Li Deli was somewhat satisfied after hearing this.

"Go to the housekeeper later to claim your reward. Also, I heard that Wang Qian and Zhao Wuji have sent people to Shengjing. Arrange some more people to go and kill them. Remember, wait until we reach Shengjing before taking action."

"Yes!"

The man stood up, lowered his head and left the secret room.

Li Deli leaned leisurely on the Zen chair again.
