The emperor faked his death? Never mind, I will ascend the throne directly!

He Sheng burped and waved his hand impatiently: "You kid, you think it's so complicated!"

"Who is His Majesty? How can you and I guess?"

"Let's just do our own job and stop asking about unnecessary things!"

Xiao Liuzi wiped his greasy mouth, then remembered something else. He approached He Sheng mysteriously and spoke in a low voice.

"General He, have you heard about what's happening in the south?"

Xiao Liuzi grabbed another piece of lamb leg and started chewing it, his words were vague.

"I heard that the southern coast is in turmoil, with pirates causing such a savage problem that even the imperial ships dare not put out to sea."

He Sheng was stunned for a moment, then realized that Xiao Liuzi was referring to the pirate rebellion along the southern coast.

He took a sip of wine and said nonchalantly, "Hey, can such a trivial matter be hidden from His Majesty?"

"Following His Majesty all day, you must be well-informed."

"Your Majesty has already made arrangements for the south. Feng Rusi has already led his troops there."

"He's a tough guy. Wouldn't it be easy for him to deal with that mob?"

"Feng Rusi..."

Xiao Liuzi kept repeating the name with a frown on his face.

He recalled the rumors he had heard in the capital before. This Feng Rusi was originally a poor scholar, but somehow he was noticed by the emperor and directly promoted to the commander-in-chief of the navy of four counties.

This rocket-like speed of promotion is really puzzling.

He Sheng saw Xiao Liuzi's puzzled expression and sneered, "Why, do you still doubt His Majesty's judgment?"

"I tell you, His Majesty is so accurate in employing people!"

"Although Feng Rusi looks like a weak scholar, he has real talent."

"Just wait and see. Within three months, he'll wipe out every pirate!"

After hearing what He Sheng said, Xiao Liuzi felt like a light flashed in his mind and something suddenly became clear to him.

He slammed the table, not even bothering to chew the lamb leg, and said excitedly: "I understand!"

"I was wondering! Your Majesty brought so much gold, silver, jewelry, food, and supplies to the Northern Territory this time. So this is what's going on!"

"Suppress the south and pacify the north! The pirates in the south can't be dealt with in a short time, and we can't let the chaos in the north continue."

He Sheng touched his chin proudly: "You finally got it!"

"Your Majesty is wise, this is called preparing for a rainy day!"

"Once Feng Rusi has pacified the pirates in the south, we'll have time to attack from both the north and the south. Let's see who dares to rebel under your Majesty's nose!"

The more Xiao Liuzi thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and he couldn't help but admire Li Chengfeng's foresight.

He sighed with emotion, "Your Majesty is truly wise and powerful! This chess game is beyond the reach of mortals like us!"

He Sheng raised his chin proudly: "Of course! Don't you see who the master is!"

The two were talking excitedly when suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, mixed with shouting and the sound of weapons clashing.

He Sheng's expression changed: "What's going on?"

He grabbed the sword placed aside and rushed out of the tent with Xiao Liuzi.

Outside the tent, flames shot up into the sky and a group of people were fighting with each other. One side was the Yi tribe leader and several of his followers, and the other side was the confidants sent by the King of Northern Frontier. They were all blood-thirsty.

Several soldiers of the National Defense Army were trying desperately to stop a burly man with a full beard.

The burly man's voice was as loud as a bell as he yelled at the guards: "Get out of here! I want to see the Emperor Daqian!"

Xiao Liuzi also followed out and recognized at a glance that the strong man was Yi Lie, the leader of the Yi tribe.

Behind him was a man in gorgeous clothes with a sinister face. He was Bahar, the confidant sent by the King of Northern Frontier.

He Sheng's face suddenly darkened when he saw this.

He stepped forward and shouted, "Yi Lie, what are you doing? How dare you act wildly in front of His Majesty!"

Yi Lie pushed away the guard who was blocking his way, his face flushed red with anger, and he pointed at Bahar and yelled.

"This bastard, not only did their Northern Frontier King annihilate the Yiwu tribe, he even dared to slander my Yi tribe for colluding with foreign enemies!"

"I will confront him in front of His Majesty today!"

Upon hearing this, Bahar burst out laughing in anger, as if he had heard a huge joke.

"Yi Lie, do you dare to say that your Yi tribe has no relationship with the Yiwu tribe?"

"Do you dare to say that you have no private contact with them?"

"The entire grassland knows that your two tribes have been friends for generations!"

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Yilie couldn't stand Bahar's confusion of right and wrong, so he interrupted him with a roar.

"We are all from the grasslands. Explain to me clearly, are the Yiwu people an alien race?!"

"They simply blocked your way to the Northern Frontier and were exterminated. Now you want to attack my Yi people!"

"How dare you! How dare you use force in front of His Majesty's palace!"

He Sheng roared, drew his sword and rushed forward.

He was a burly man, and he danced the sword in his hand with great vigor. Several of the Northern Frontier King's close associates were no match for him at all, and were knocked to the ground by him in just a few moves.

The leader of the Yi tribe was no pushover either. He was tall, like an iron tower, and wielded a huge mace in his hand. Several of his close associates were beaten to a bloody pulp by him.

Little Liuzi hid behind He Sheng, watching the chaotic scene before him, secretly complaining in his heart: "These barbarians really don't know how to live or die!"

"You dare to use knives and guns without even considering where you are!"

Although He Sheng was brave, he could not fight against four hands with two fists, and gradually he was unable to hold on.

"Stop it all!"

The curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted, and Li Chengfeng walked out, followed by Xiao Liuzi who looked anxious.

It turned out that when Xiao Liuzi saw that the situation was not right, he immediately went into the tent and moved the emperor out.

Seeing this tense scene, Li Chengfeng frowned, and an imperial aura of pressure instantly spread out.

He shouted loudly, and his voice rang like thunder in everyone's ears.

Both sides in the fight were stunned and stopped moving.

He Sheng retreated to Li Chengfeng's side and reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there has been a conflict between Yi Lie, the leader of the Yi tribe, and Bahar, a close confidant of the King of Northern Frontier."

Li Chengfeng nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the mace in Yilie's hand.

"Chief Yilie, I don't care what grudges you have with each other. This meeting is to encourage more exchanges between the various tribes, not for you to act recklessly!"

Although Yi Lie was furious, he did not dare to act rashly in front of the Emperor Daqian. He could only groan and throw the mace to the ground.

Seeing this, Bahar also put away the scimitar in his hand, but there was still a trace of unwillingness on his face.

"Chief Yilie has come from afar, so he must have something important to report, right?"

Li Chengfeng's tone softened a bit, and he gestured for everyone to leave. "Everyone, please leave. I want to speak with the two leaders in private."

He Sheng, Xiao Liuzi and others took the order and retreated, leaving only Li Chengfeng, Yilie and Bahar.

Li Chengfeng sat down in the main seat and pointed to the seats below, "Two leaders, please take a seat."

Yile and Bahar looked at each other and each found a place to sit down, but there was still a strong smell of tension between them.
