Chapter 158 You want to marry me

When Han Cheng heard this, he also came to Lu Xiaotian and said, "Your Majesty, please let me go. I'm afraid some people can't see the road."

These words made Ziying very angry!

This was the first time Lu Xiaotian had seen Ziying get humiliated. Zhou Fanlin and Qian Duoduo would have to deal with him sooner or later, so there was no rush. It was still necessary to pick up Ji Zeming! You two should go at the same time!

The two men looked at each other, neither willing to give in, and mounted their horses and galloped towards the Zhang family.

Zhou Fanlin and Qian Duoduo saw Lu Xiaotian running away and chased him out. They had been planning for so long. If they couldn't kill Lu Xiaotian today, they would have fewer chances in the future. This was the only God-given opportunity. Ji Zeming retreated while fighting. He didn't think too much about it. As long as Lu Xiaotian was safe, he would not care about these people settling the score later!

When Ji Zeming turned around, he saw Ziying and Han Cheng rushing towards him. Something was wrong. They were fighting to the death just now, so how come they joined forces now?

In the blink of an eye, the two men appeared in front of him. No unnecessary nonsense, just kill the enemy as soon as you see them!

If you kill one, I will kill two. If you kill someone with good martial arts skills, I will not kill the soldiers. So the two of them put all their strength into competing with each other!

The two men brought a lot of people, and the three princes also had a lot of people, and many of them were good at martial arts. Neither side gained the upper hand. Ji Zeming ordered the troops to withdraw, and the two generals slowly retreated. The three princes did not pursue them. Everyone advised Lu Xiaotian to return to the palace first, but Lu Xiaotian disagreed. He gathered everyone's troops together. At this time, Xu Haotian led 50,000 troops, Ouyang Hui had 20,000, He Liang had 20,000, Li Chaoyang had 20,000, Ziying had 10,000, and Han Cheng had 20,000, totaling 190,000.

After the great battle, more than 10,000 people were lost. No one dared to speak. Lu Xiaotian sat in the middle, and no one dared to look up, especially Han Bing. Han Bing didn't know how to explain for a while. Although he saved Lu Xiaotian at the Zhang family, it was also because of him that Lu Xiaotian was trapped in the siege.

Ziying didn't even dare to speak. Zhang Guangzheng and Han Bing looked at each other, and Zhang Guangzheng said, "Your Majesty, I am alone now. Please relieve me of my position as a vassal king. My daughter and I will wait for your decision. Zhang Hui hurried to her father and knelt down."

Han Bing also said that Your Majesty's previous battles had caused losses to our troops, and Your Majesty could incorporate the troops brought by Han Cheng into them.

The two men had made up their minds to surrender. Lu Xiaotian looked at them and said with a smile, "Are you two teaching me how to do things?"

The two were so scared that they quickly begged for mercy!

Lu Xiaotian continued, "The thrones of both of you will be stripped sooner or later. The rebellion of the Zhang family is entirely your fault, Zhang Guangzheng. You employed incompetent people and destroyed the foundation of the Zhang family. Therefore, there is no need for you to exist."

Zhang Guangzheng thanked him and said, "I will bear all the blame. Can you please let my daughter go?"

Lu Xiaotian was stunned and said, "When did I say I was going to kill you? I want to kill all the traitors in the Zhang family. As for who to keep and who not to keep in the Zhang family, you have the final say!"

Lu Xiaotian's sudden assurance made Zhang Guangzheng completely confused!

As for you, Han Bing, reinstate your post! Is it meaningful for your Han family's army to submit to the imperial court's management?

I have no objection. The Han family has a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and all of them have surrendered to the court!

Okay, Han Cheng will obey your orders!

From today on, I will appoint you as the general and command the 100,000-strong Han army!

Han Cheng was stunned. Lu Xiaotian was reducing the power of the feudal lords. He should have sidelined himself and others and handed the military power to his trusted confidants! Why did he give it to me?

Ziying said, "I hate you, but I still want to congratulate you."

After hearing Ziying's words, Han Cheng came back to his senses and quickly thanked him!

Everyone, get up! I will reward you based on your merits after the feudal system is weakened!

Zhang Guangzheng looked up at Lu Xiaotian, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty trusts me so much that I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly. But I dare to ask, why did Your Majesty make such a decision?" Lu Xiaotian laughed and stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I observe the celestial phenomena and know the general trend of the world. Although I am now reducing the power of the princes, it is not to suppress all the loyal ministers and generals, but to integrate the forces. If you are loyal, I will give you enough trust and power." When everyone heard this, they were all shocked and had more awe of the emperor.

At this moment, Lu Xiaotian glanced into the distance and spoke slowly, "I have greater ambitions. The world is still rid of evil, and I need men who can truly conquer the battlefield. Han Cheng, you are brave and upright. I hope you can lead the Han Army to become the backbone of this world." Han Cheng clasped his fists and shouted, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will not hesitate to die!" The others also expressed their loyalty. Lu Xiaotian nodded slightly.

At this moment, everyone stood up from the ground, but Zhang Hui remained kneeling there quietly, motionless. Seeing this, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart, so he walked towards Zhang Hui. After reaching her side, Lu Xiaotian gently bent down, stretched out his hands to help Zhang Hui up, and asked with concern: "Why are you still kneeling? Hurry and get up."

Zhang Hui raised her head, staring straight at Lu Xiaotian, and slowly said, "Your Majesty, your words are golden. I wonder if what you said before will still count in the future?"

When Lu Xiaotian heard this, he initially thought Zhang Hui was worried he would harm his father, so she wanted him to make a clear promise first. Without even a second's thought, he replied without hesitation, "Of course it counts! My words are always as good as gold! I will never regret it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Hui smiled slightly, and then said: "Well, in that case, let's high-five and swear an oath!" As she said that, she raised her right hand and waited for Lu Xiaotian's response.

Lu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his hand and struck Zhang Hui in return. However, just as their palms touched, Zhang Hui asked again, "You previously promised to become our Zhang family's son-in-law, and you even won the final victory in this Zhang family competition. So, may I ask, when do you plan to marry me?"

This sudden question was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Lu Xiaotian stunned. He hadn't anticipated Zhang Hui's reference to this, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words, looking left and right, trying to find a suitable answer. Meanwhile, Zhang Guang was watching his daughter's performance with an expression of admiration on his face.

Zhang Hui also knew that if she didn't speak out today, she would never have another chance. After the rebellion was quelled, everything would need to be rebuilt. By then, she and her father would not know whether they would ever see Lu Xiaotian again! She was just a woman, a weak woman, but she loved Lu Xiaotian even more! So she had to seize this opportunity at all costs!
