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

Chapter 91: Northern Qi’s Optimus Prime, Bladed but Unfazed

The next day, Fan Xian and Liu Hong went out together again.

Liu Hong's eyelids twitched unconsciously when he saw Fan Xian wearing the official uniform of the Imperial College for the first time.

"How many times have you visited the Northern Qi Imperial Palace?"

"The second time! Prepare to discuss business with the Northern Qi royal family. It's time to end the era of secret agents fighting for life and death."

Fan Xian was full of vigor and confidence, and Liu Hong was a little dazed for a moment.

He looks too much like Emperor Qing! But Fan Xian is not Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing thought that he was the Grand Master and the most powerful emperor within a hundred years, so he could rest easy.

However, Emperor Qing's actions have laid the groundwork for civil strife in the Qing Kingdom, and have put checks and balances on the court, causing many officials to fight over their lives.

In fact, the cunning officials were just putting on a show for Emperor Qing! For example, Liu Hong and the Qin family.

After the Ye Qingmei case, even the once most loyal minister became alienated from Emperor Qing.

In addition, Liu Hong planned to let the border army generals be responsible for their own profits and losses and occupy the territory of Qi.

Isn't this clearly making the border army generals eager to fight, withholding food and wages in order to expand their own fiefdoms?
I'm afraid this move will not produce a big warlord!
However, Emperor Qing really didn't care about all this. He knew the consequences, but he was blindly confident and didn't care.

When Emperor Qing was alive, he could kill, plunder and rob people with just a royal decree. No matter how powerful the warlords were, they had to submit to him.

Liu Hong's eyes turned around dimly.

But his plan was to fight in the Dadongshan battle, when the false news of Emperor Qing's death would spread to Qing State and civil strife would break out in Qing State.

"Liu Hong, why are you staring at me like that?"

Fan Xian felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. He admitted that he was much more beautiful than ordinary women.

But he had normal tastes and didn't like men. Moreover, this was his brother-in-law.

"Fan Xian, you are becoming more and more like Emperor Qing."

Liu Hong sighed and looked away.

Fan Xian smiled and didn't take it seriously. He thought that Liu Hong was still sleepy, or that Emperor Qing had cast too much of a shadow on him.

He is a member of the Fan family, even though he is not included in the family tree because he is an illegitimate child.

But what does it have to do with Emperor Qing? It’s impossible for Fan Jian to let Emperor Qing take over when she gives birth.

"After leaving the palace, come to the general's residence! Uesugi Tiger, Sean, and I are waiting for you. Here is the news you've been longing for."

Liu Hong climbed onto his horse and looked at Fan Xian meaningfully.

Chen Pingping has been fabricating false intelligence for Sean for decades, and this cannot be ignored.

While Fan Xian was stunned, Liu Hong had already left the mansion with his personal guards.

Wang Qinian popped out his fat and big-eared head and spoke with some confusion.

"Sir, what does Sir Liu mean by this?"

"This guy……"

Fan Xian gritted his teeth and got into the carriage.

Everything is clear! Liu Hong and Shangshan Hu had already agreed to let Sean go.

The battle at Beihai Lake was nothing more than a show performed by Liu Hong to the great masters and the two top powers, taking advantage of the situation.

Fan Xian had only seen this kind of planning ability in Chen Pingping.

Does Liu Hong have this ability? Fan Xian scoffed at this.

Liu Hong can be considered a talented person of the time, but he can only take one step forward and look two steps ahead.

How could such a chain of strategies be set up? It was probably the work of Zhang Liang, who had always been following Liu Hong.

But Fan Xian had to go, because Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing asked Fan Xian to find out the secret that Sean had hidden for many years.

The general's mansion in Shangjing is so magnificent that it makes people want to be attracted to it and wish they could become a nobleman.

After all, he is a great general. Even if he is wavering between the emperor and the empress, the royal family will not treat Uesugi Tora too harshly.

Passersby stopped and looked at him with a look of reverence.

This is the result of Uesugi Tiger's garrison in the northern border for decades, with the barbarians trapped outside the bunker and unable to move.

The reputation he has cultivated is comparable to that of the royal family, and he is known as the Pillar of Heaven of the Great Qi.

Even if Northern Qi was defeated, so what! As long as the Grand Master did not take action, Shangshanhu would be able to protect Northern Qi from destruction.

Liu Hong and his personal guards stayed in the general's mansion for a long time before speaking slowly. "You guys stop here. I will go into the general's mansion by myself."

"grown ups……"

Yang Du was anxious at first and let Liu Hong go in alone. What if he encountered danger?
"If the general wants to kill me, how long can you, the five hundred guards in the mansion, resist? What's more, if I make a fool of myself and you see me, I will be humiliated."

At this time, Liu Hong was still in the mood to joke with Yang Du and others.

You can really say that he has a big heart!
Yang Du was about to say something.

Liu Hong had already stepped into the general's mansion, and the servant, who was a military man, closed the door quickly and efficiently.

The heavy-armored guards stared at Liu Hong fiercely, their hands involuntarily placed on their waists.

The atmosphere was so solemn and murderous that the air seemed to be frozen.

Liu Hong is the chief envoy of the delegation and holds Sean's secrets. Logically speaking, Uesugi Tiger would not kill Liu Hong unless he is out of his mind.

But there is always a chance of something happening, and the guys above don’t care about these things.

Liu Hong looked at the soldiers who were gathering together, his expression unchanged, and spoke in a loud voice.

"The general's hospitality is truly extraordinary!"

"Thief, take your life!"

Deputy General Tan Wu, holding a ring-handled sword and with veins bulging, rushed towards Liu Hong.

Is Tan Wu going to kill Liu Hong?

He is Uesugi Tora's deputy general, loyal to Uesugi Tora, and also the smartest guy among his personal guards.

No... this is just a show of force.

Liu Hong had been holding the sword tightly in his hand, but suddenly loosened his grip.

As if he was frightened, he stood there in a daze.

A strand of black hair was cut off with the sound of breaking wind, and Tan Wu changed the position of the ring-handled knife in his hand in time.

"call……"

Liu Hong exhaled lightly, thinking that he was not dead, which proved that everything could be discussed.

Tan Wu looked coldly at the young man in front of him.

"The general and the old man are waiting for you in the living room, go in!"

"Thank you..."

Liu Hong bowed and walked towards the tight guards.

The many guards hesitated for a while, then cleared the way for Liu Hong to pass.

"Sir, why don't you kill this kid! When we rescued the old man, many of our brothers died on the grasslands of Beihai Lake."

After Liu Hong left, many guards gathered around Tan Wu and talked a lot.

Tan Wu spoke in a cold voice.

"Shut up! The general has his own ideas. All we can do is execute them."

In the living room, Uesugi Tora sat in the lower seat and Sean sat in the main seat.

Seeing Sean relaxed all over and with most of the gloom in his body reduced, you can see how precious this period of free time is.

"Boy, if you can't tell me about the temple, don't blame me for killing you."

Sean glanced at Liu Hong with a gloomy look.

Only he and Ku He knew about the matters of the temple. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a third person in the world who knew about it.

But Liu Hong's confident look made Sean doubt again.

After all, people are old and they are always afraid of the consequences when doing anything.

Uesugi Tora was like a hungry tiger, ready to pounce, his eyes fixed on Liu Hong.

There are two ninth-rank masters in this room. Even if Liu Hong has reached the ninth-rank realm silently, he has the help of five hundred personal guards in the mansion.

Liu Hong must die here too!
Faced with Liu Hong who threatened him many times, Uesugi Tiger could no longer tolerate it.

Liu Hong smiled faintly, not affected by the gazes of the two people at all, and gently uttered a few words, causing Sean's face to change drastically.

"In the Far North, Ye Qingmei!"
