The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 113 Today, I will clear your name

Zhou Tong said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, everyone stop and don't come forward!"

Sun Renzhi looked at Qiao Feng in the pavilion in front of him. There was also a young man in luxurious clothes standing next to him. He frowned and said, "Don't you know that Qiao Feng is a Khitan villain? Could it be that you have been deceived and fooled by him?"

When Qiao Feng heard this in the pavilion, his expression changed drastically, and he was filled with grief and anger, and was about to leave the pavilion.

Zhao Ti shook his head and sighed: "I will go with Hero Qiao to take a look."

As he walked out of the posthouse, Qiao Feng said, "Master Zhao, this cannot be done. This is Qiao Feng's personal matter, and I cannot implicate you."

Zhao Ti said calmly: "Why are we in such a hurry to fight against each other?"

When Qiao Feng heard the words "fighting within the same family", his body shook violently: "Mr. Zhao, you..."

"I did hear about what happened to Hero Qiao, but I don't quite agree with it." Zhao Ti walked forward slowly.

Qiao Feng looked at Zhao Ti with a dazed look and hurriedly followed.

At this time, Tong Guan, Zhou Tong and Wang Chengzong blocked the road, Bai Zhan, Su Dahou San and others behind him also ran over, while Zhu Si went back to dispatch troops and horses.

Tong Guan looked at Sun Renzhi in front of him and said, "Where did you come from, old beggar? What nonsense are you talking about? Who is being deceived? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kneel down and slap you in the face!"

He could see that Zhao Ti thought highly of Qiao Feng, so he spoke to him rudely.

The people behind Sun Renzhi started banging their sticks, and some of the others dressed in gangster style had angry looks on their faces.

Sun Renzhi felt that Tong Guan's voice was not right and asked in confusion, "What sect are you from? Why are you protecting this Khitan spy?"

Tong Guan said: "Whether someone is a spy or not is not up to you beggars to decide. There is the court above and the provincial government below. How can you convict someone just by opening your mouth?"

"You..." Sun Renzhi's face showed surprise. He looked at Tong Guan and then at the other people: "You, are you from the government?"

Tong Guan snorted, "I don't need to tell you what it is, just leave here quickly."

"If it were the government, I would have to say that Qiao Feng is a Khitan thief..." Sun Renzhi had an indignant expression on his face.

"Isn't he the leader of your Beggars' Sect?" Zhao Ti said as he walked closer.

Sun Renzhi saw the young man approaching, with Qiao Feng following him. He guessed that he must be the owner of this group, and immediately shouted, "Don't let Qiao Feng fool you, Young Master. He is a Khitan with evil intentions. He has been lurking in our Beggars' Sect for many years and is about to flee back to Liao. I got the news and am here to intercept him. If Young Master can capture him, it will be a great achievement."

Zhao Ti found it funny when he heard this. The leader of the Dawu branch of the Beggar Gang was quite good at making plans. He was able to kill someone by using a knife.

He glanced at the people in front of him and said calmly, "Do you think I don't know that he is a Khitan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse footsteps could be heard from behind. When Tong Guan saw Zhao Ti had revealed his identity, he immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Prince Yan has stopped here, why don't you pay your respects quickly!"

The Beggar Gang disciples and the martial arts world were stunned when they heard the words. Then they saw the dust and smoke billowing and countless soldiers coming, and their faces suddenly changed.

"You're still not polite!" Tong Guan shouted again.

Sun Renzhi was shocked and felt dizzy. His legs softened unconsciously and he fell to his knees with a plop.

The people behind were all terrified when they saw this. They knelt down involuntarily in several rows, with their heads lowered, not daring to raise them.

Qiao Feng was already shocked at this moment, and hurriedly stepped five steps away, bowed and said, "I didn't know you were the King of Yan, and my previous offense was a serious crime."

Zhao Ti said: "What crime can one commit if he does not know? Master Qiao, do not overthink it."

Qiao Feng's lips trembled, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhao Ti waving at him, then looking at the people kneeling on the ground.

"Everyone, please raise your heads."

These people were all stunned and slowly raised their heads, but they didn't dare to look directly. They only dared to glance ahead out of the corner of their eyes.

Zhao Ti looked at these people and sighed: "Do you know why I sighed?"

The people behind did not dare to answer. Sun Renzhi plucked up the courage and stammered, "We, the common people, do not know why the thousand-year-old sighed." Zhao Ti took two steps and said, "You... are all loyal to the emperor and patriotic!"

The people below originally thought that Zhao Ti would blame them for their collision and would say some words of reprimand and accuse them, but they didn't expect it to be such a compliment. They felt an inexplicable warmth in their hearts, and the blood in their bodies seemed to be ignited, and they became excited in an instant.

This is hundreds or thousands of times better than being praised by others. This is praise from the prince of the current dynasty. It almost represents the affirmation of the royal family of the Song Dynasty and the affirmation of their patriotism.

"This king knows that you love your country. The greatest heroes serve their country and their people. Fan Wencheng once said that if you are in a high position in the government, you will worry about your people; if you are far away in the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler. Although you live in the rivers and lakes, or in the grass, your patriotic heart cannot be erased."

Although the people below did not fully understand these words, they knew that it was still a compliment. For a moment, they felt so moved and excited, and their blood seemed to be boiling. This was said to the prince. Even if the other party asked them to go and kill the enemy, kill the Xia dogs, kill the Khitans, and die on the battlefield, they would be willing to do so.

"Your Highness Prince Yan, what you said is true..." Sun Renzhi's old face flushed.

Zhao Ti shook his head and said, "I have just returned from my trip south to suppress bandits. Along the way, I heard people from the martial arts world talking about Qiao Feng, which made me feel quite emotional. I once sent someone to investigate, and Qiao Feng...is not a spy."

"Long live your Majesty!" Qiao Feng whispered upon hearing this and almost burst into tears.

Zhao Ti sighed and continued, "As for whether Qiao Feng is a Khitan, there are many Khitan soldiers in the border troops of Hebei. Are you going to kill them too?"

"This..." Sun Renzhi immediately lowered his head.

Zhao Ti added: "In recent years, we have fought many wars with the Tanguts of Xixia. The Zhe family of the Western Army is a Tangut clan. In addition to the Zhe family, there are many Tangut generals in the Western Army. Are you going to kill them all?"

"We common people can't do that. We common people absolutely can't do that..." the people below immediately stammered.

There were many Tangut and Tibetan generals in the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, and some even had their own independent Tibetan troops. They all knew this.

In fact, there was a mixture of Han and Khitan people on the northern border, and Han people held Khitan officials and Khitans held Song Dynasty officials. They all knew this, but they could not accept the fact that Qiao Feng was born into the Beggars' Sect and was its leader.

“When you go back today, tell everyone that Qiao Feng is not a spy from the Liao Kingdom. Get up and go.” Zhao Ti said slowly.

Tong Guan stepped forward and said, "Did you all hear what His Highness said? Let's all go back."

These people stood up one after another and saluted. At this time, they no longer had any thoughts about Qiao Feng in their minds. All they had were the compliments from the current King of Yan. They planned to go back and tell someone about it, otherwise they would feel uncomfortable. They all walked away quickly with mixed feelings.

Qiao Feng looked at Zhao Ti with excitement, and was about to pay his respects, but Zhao Ti held him back, "No need to do so. The right and wrong will be judged by the public. I was only speaking a fair word."

Qiao Feng said, "I thank you, Your Excellency. With Your Excellency's consent, I will die without regrets!"

Zhao Ti nodded and said after a moment's hesitation: "I am going back to Tokyo. Are you going to Yanmen Pass?"

Qiao Feng said: "I have something to verify. If I don't solve this matter, I will be restless day and night."

Zhao Ti knew that he was going to Yanmen Pass to see the words Xiao Yuanshan left on the stone wall, so he said, "Go ahead."

Qiao Feng said: "Thousand years old..."

Zhao Ti groaned for a moment and said, "No matter what you see, don't forget what I said today."

"Qiao Feng dare not forget!"

Zhao Ti said: "If you encounter something that you cannot solve one day, you can come to Tokyo to see me. I can give you a solution. Don't be impulsive."

"Yes, my Lord, Qiao Feng has made note of it!"

Zhao Ti nodded, then turned around and went back to the team. After getting on the Black Rose, the troops started forward and headed east.

Qiao Feng stood there, watching the army pass by for a long time before he started walking towards the northwest. His steps were firm, and the grief and anger on his face had almost completely disappeared...

In Tokyo, it rained heavily in the evening, and the world seemed to have fallen into eternal night.

Zhao Xu sat on the dragon throne and suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils turned snow-white.
