Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 235, Dongyi City and Northern Qi’s demands! Do you really think I’m a traitor?
Liu Hong suppressed the smile on his face.

Of course, he was not so narcissistic as to think that just by providing a piece of information, Ku He and Si Gu Jian would join forces to help him.

After all, earlier, he used the news that Emperor Qing was a grandmaster to exchange for the opportunity to break through to the ninth level, as well as the Tianyi Dao techniques.

Based on the character of the old turtle Ku He, he will definitely leak the news to Si Gu Jian.

Faced with the tremendous pressure from Qing State, Dongyi City and Northern Qi could only join forces and put up a hard resistance.

"Haitang Duoduo and Yun Zhilan are here. It seems that they are determined to obtain the technologies of the three major workshops in the inner treasury."

Liu Hong spoke in a low voice, his mind wandering.

He actually forgot that he had such a trump card.

Jiangnan Road is also under his jurisdiction, and the three major districts of Neiku should also be under his management.

Over the years, the Northern Qi and Dongyi City have been defeated.

I really thought that the Qing Kingdom had a clear political situation, peace and prosperity, and was thriving.

There are three major workshops in the inner treasury, which produce almost endless weapons.

Liu Hong had a deep understanding of this when he led his troops.

Almost 100% of the soldiers in Qing Kingdom wore armor. Even the lowest-ranking soldiers had leather or wooden armor.

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, except for the border troops, basically only the sergeant level could wear leather armor.

Not only that! Qing State manufactured bows and arrows, and siege equipment very quickly, and almost endlessly.

In every battle, there would basically be a few rounds of arrow suppression first, and then the catapults would be prepared.

The Northern Qi and Dongyi City were quite angry.

The people of Qing Dynasty value martial arts, while the people of Qi Dynasty value literature! These words have only appeared in recent decades.

After all, due to geographical and climatic reasons, during the bitter cold in the north, the physical fitness of the Qi people was actually much better than that of the Qing people.

After Zhang Liang heard about the three major workshops of the inner treasury, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

It seems like he thought of something.

"In that case, sir, you should sit tight and wait."

"Of course. In the entire Qing Kingdom, no one except me dares to hand over the technology of the three major workshops in the inner treasury to Beiqi and Dongyi City."

Liu Hong slowly stood up and opened the door.

Ji Xin brought his personal guards and pointed their cold bows and crossbows at the Tiger Guards and others.

The twenty Tiger Guards joined forces and were able to suppress the combined forces of Haitang Duoduo and Yun Zhilan for a while.

They are worthy of being the hundreds of Tiger Guards that Fan Jian has trained after decades of hard work.

"Alright! They are the distinguished guests I invited this time. Why are you blocking them outside the gate?"

Liu Hong spoke slowly.

These tiger guards remained indifferent. They were right to receive the message and protect Liu Hong's safety.

But they also have their own judgment.

The saintly lady Haitang Duoduo of Northern Qi and the chief disciple of Jianlu in Dongyi City, Yun Zhilan.

These two people are big shots wherever they go, but they rushed over here just because Liu Hong's illegitimate son came back to his roots.

There must be something fishy going on here. We must catch him and interrogate him thoroughly.

When Liu Hong saw that these tiger guards disobeyed orders, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Wave your hand mercilessly.

Ji Xin led his personal guards and without hesitation released the crossbow arrows coated with poison at the tiger guards.

Ninth-rank masters are immune to most of the poisons in the world, but their tiger guards are all at the seventh or eighth rank, so of course they can't do that.

In shock and anger, the Tiger Guards had no choice but to retreat.

Let Haitang Duoduo and Yun Zhilan find the right opportunity and fly to Liu Hong's side.

"You finally opened the door. We came from afar to attend the banquet, and this is how you, the Grand Commander of Anton, treat me?"

Haitang Duoduo said with a complaining tone.

Sitting on the ground, she rubbed her little feet in embroidered shoes.

Yun Zhilan said nothing and showed no emotion.

He was just completing his master's mission.

"Are you trying to rebel? As the Grand Commander of Anton, what's wrong with me inviting two foreign friends to my child's banquet?"

"Don't you Tiger Guards want to take care of such a small matter? Then do you all want to be the Grand Commander of Andong?" The group of Tiger Guards said nothing, but nodded frantically in their hearts.

If possible, they also want to become the Grand Governor of Anton.

However, in front of the bows and crossbows of Ji Xin's personal guards, these tiger guards could only lower their heads to express their apologies.

"Sir! We are here to protect your safety according to the imperial decree. Please don't make it difficult for us."

One of the tiger guards couldn't help but speak.

They were the ones that Si Nanbo and Emperor Qing focused on cultivating, but they were often scolded by Liu Hong.

"Difficult? Then don't do it! You should go back to Kyoto now and answer His Majesty's orders. You disobeyed my orders and I will send you back to Kyoto."

Hearing this, Tiger Guard glared at Liu Hong.

They are the Tiger Guards, the most elite troops in the world, and they also have quite bad tempers!
"Forget it, don't bother with them. I'm hungry. Bring me something to eat."

Haitang Duoduo didn't want to make a big deal out of this, so she patted Liu Hong on the shoulder and tried to dissuade him.

Liu Hong snorted coldly. He had long been fed up with this group of tiger guards who were monitoring him. Now they were just taking advantage of the situation.

"From today on, you don't have to protect my safety. Just protect Liu Fei and his mother."

Liu Hong flicked his sleeves and walked into the study with Haitang Duoduo and Yun Zhilan.

"This is not fair! We were sent by His Majesty."

A young man spoke foolishly.

Afterwards, Ji Xin and others showed no mercy and urged the crossbows in their hands to shoot madly at the Tiger Guards.

The attack power of a hand crossbow is limited. As long as you don't aim at the vital points, even a seventh or eighth-rank expert will find it difficult to defend against it.

But when toxins are applied, it is quite different.

The seven of you Tiger Guards are only capable of fighting against the Ninth Rank, but after all, you are not the Ninth Rank and do not have much resistance to poison.

The tiger guard was beaten so badly that he ran away in fear, and was poisoned. He could only agree reluctantly.

They still have to remain useful and can't fail here.

In the study, Zhang Liang tactfully took on the task of serving tea and water. After all, he had the lowest status among the four.

Haitang Duoduo spoke casually while cracking melon seeds.

"When are you going to Beiqi again? Si Lili misses you so much, and the emperor also wants to discuss with you the strategy against Qing Kingdom."

"Over the years, you have used the funding from Northern Qi to expand your army and store food. It's time to report something."

Originally these words were nothing, but Si Lili, who was already the imperial concubine of Northern Qi, said that she missed me very much.

Liu Hong began to daydream and couldn't help but think in the wrong direction.

He coughed quickly and looked at Yun Zhilan.

"Yun Zhilan, what are Dongyi City's requirements?"

"My Dongyi City has only two goals: to increase trade with Nanqing and to control the economic lifeline of the three routes of Andong, as well as the technology of the three major workshops in the inner treasury. That's all."

The demands of these two people are more outrageous than the other.

First, he asked the Grand Commander of Andong to return to Northern Qi and report back.

Then he said he wanted to control the economic lifeline of Andong Sanlu.

The common goal is to obtain the technology of the three major workshops in Neiku.

The words were so natural that Liu Hong almost felt like a traitor who had humiliated his country.

"Is it appropriate for you to say that?"

The two people who didn't think much about it stared at Liu Hong, somewhat puzzled.

You, Liu Hong, are only one step away from raising the flag of rebellion in front of them. Why are you hesitating now?

"I can only take my time with your request! And it's too early. Wait until I master the three routes of Anton."

Liu Hong spoke helplessly.

"Besides, Grandmaster Ye Liuyun is about to arrive in Danzhou, and I have to make backup plans."

A look of longing suddenly appeared on Yun Zhilan's face.

"We naturally know this. The master will come in person."

"He said he had taken the blame too many times and he didn't want to take it this time."

Liu Hong and Zhang Liang couldn't help but look at each other and nodded slightly.
