Chapter 148
King Nanlong had always wanted to subdue Zhao Chong.
He felt that this was a good opportunity.
Zhao Chong clasped his fists and said, "I will do whatever the emperor ordered me to do."
King Nanlong's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was very dissatisfied. He said, "Will you obey the orders given by a master like you?"
"Yes." Zhao Chong answered without hesitation.
King Nanlong was so angry that he slammed the table.
Suddenly, Luo Duozi was frightened to his knees.
Luo Duozi kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "Your Highness, I did not rebel. This has nothing to do with me. I don't know about this at all."
"Your Highness, I am loyal to you!"
Luo Duozi's words caused a burst of contempt from King Nanlong. He was not a fool. He could see at a glance that Luo Duozi was not a good person.
Therefore, he was too lazy to pay attention to Luo Duozi, but looked at Zhuo Zilin and asked, "What about you? Do you want to betray me too?"
Zhuo Zilin sighed and said, "Success makes you a king, failure makes you a bandit, what can I do?"
In fact, Zhuo Zilin did not want to betray King Nanlong, and he had never thought about it.
But just as Zhao Chong was controlled by Lin Tianlong, Zhuo Zilin was also controlled by Zhao Chong.
Zhao Chong was also repaying Lin Tianlong, and Zhuo Zilin was also repaying Zhao Chong's kindness.
However, Zhuo Zilin still hoped in his heart that Zhao Chong could give up the idea of rebellion, and even help dissuade Lin Tianlong.
But he knew that this situation was impossible.
Because Lin Tianlong was definitely going to rebel.
King Nanlong was suddenly a little depressed and said, "What's so good about that damn Lin Tianlong? According to my investigation, this guy is worse than me. Although I am also fun, I am not as crazy as him. At least I am responsible and will not take human lives."
"Your master is good. He does all kinds of bad things and nothing good."
"But I am very depressed. Such a master can actually get loyal people like you."
But Luo Duozi interrupted at this time: "Your Highness, I am loyal to you, not to the traitor Lin Tianlong."
"I didn't say you." King Nanlong glared at Luo Duozi, and the more he looked at him, the more disgusted he became.
This kind of thing that can easily betray its master must not be a good thing.
Moreover, according to the investigation, this Luo Duozi is indeed not a good thing. Compared with Lin Tianlong, I am afraid he is not much worse.
Then, King Nanlong began to interrogate them, and they told King Nanlong everything.
Among them, Luo Duozi was the most cooperative. Those who didn't know would think he was a spy sent by King Nanlong.
At this time, after listening to the three of them, King Nanlong also understood the course of events clearly.
"Haha, this damn Lin Tianlong is really hateful." King Nanlong's fat belly trembled with anger.
Li Taihang just listened quietly, and in the end, the matter was handled.
Zhao Chong and Zhuo Zilin were dismissed from their official positions by King Nanlong, became civilians, and left the Nanlong Palace. As long as they didn't make trouble, King Nanlong would no longer care.
And Luo Duozi was delighted to see that both of them could survive. After all, his strength was not as good as Zhao Bu and Zhuo Zilin.
However, Zhao Chong and Zhuo Zilin didn't think about it, but he was ordered to be imprisoned in the dungeon.
Such a result made the three people confused.
"No, Your Highness, did you get it wrong? It was Zhao Chong and Zhuo Zilin who betrayed you. Why did you let them go but not me? After all, I am loyal to Your Highness."
"Haha, then let's verify your loyalty." King Nanlong was not polite and said directly: "Come on, take this man down and chop him off."
Anyway, the evidence he wanted has been collected.
"Yes."
The soldiers came in and arrested Luo Duozi.
Suddenly, Luo Duozi also screamed.
"No, let me go quickly, don't catch me."
"No, help!"
He kept shouting, but no one paid attention to him. Soon, he was pulled outside and beheaded.
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a scream, it returned to calm.
Zhao Chong and Zhuo Zilin were also very surprised. They didn't expect that King Nanlong would chop people off as he said.
But, he was cruel, so why did he let them go?
This made them a little puzzled.
Li Taihang also felt very strange.
Ye Qingfeng stroked his beard, as if he had already guessed all this.
Zhao Chong was a little confused and asked, "Your Highness, aren't you going to kill us?"
Zhuo Zilin was also confused.
King Nanlong sighed and said, "Zhao Chong, you are a talent, and Lin Tianlong is a fierce bandit, but he got you unexpectedly and became successful from then on."
"You first helped him unify all the banditsAt the same time, you changed the targets of the bandits' robbery, no longer killing innocent people, but instead targeting the evil ones. "
"You also used the mountains many times to resist the encirclement and suppression of the government soldiers. Later, when the barbarians invaded, you took the opportunity to rescue the city from danger several times and killed the enemy chieftain, making great contributions. "
"When the king learned about this, he recruited you. "
"And you and your brothers also became government troops, and Lin Tiancheng's status also rose because of you. "
"Later, there were many barbarian invasions, and you made many contributions, and finally you got Pingyuan City as your residence. "
"I saw your talent, so I intended to let Lin Tianlong become the city lord, so the position Lin Tianlong got was because of you, not him. ”
“Lin Tianlong doesn’t value talent, and he has Luo Duozi to assist him. Luo Duozi is a villain who is jealous of your talent. In addition, you are too powerful to be a threat to the master. In the end, Lin Tianlong is afraid of you and wants to get rid of you as soon as possible.”
“And Lin Tianlong also developed an ambition that he shouldn’t have because of his extremely expanded power, and he had the intention of rebellion.”
“Bandits are bandits after all, and they are always selfish, but you and your army are very clear and did not participate in it.”
“I believe you also feel Lin Tianlong’s suspicion of you.”
“I believe you are also deeply touched by the incident in Jackdaw Town this time.”
“I feel that your experience is unfair, and I feel that it is a pity to get rid of you. This king values talent and cannot bear to kill you.”
“Similarly, this king believes that you will not let me down. After all, Lin Tianlong is dead. As General Zhuo said, the winners are the losers, and all this is what he deserves. "
"Ah..." King Nanlong sighed and said, "You and General Zhuo are both good. I will not kill you, but I will not give you official positions unless you are willing to serve me."
"Otherwise, you can only be buried in the market for the rest of your life and never appear again."
King Nanlong's words also touched Zhao Chong greatly.
"Report!"
At this time, a soldier suddenly rushed over.
"What's the matter?"
King Nanlong frowned.
"Pingyuan City is in danger. After the barbarians learned of the changes in Pingyuan City, they raided Pingyuan City. Fortunately, the Tiefeng Army has withdrawn into the city and temporarily defended it, but is asking us for help."
King Nanlong was very shocked.
Zhao Chong and Zhuo Zilin were even more shocked. Zhao Chong exclaimed, "This is impossible. We have been scouting everywhere. If we found the barbarians, we would have found them long ago. Why..."
"Wait a minute. "
At this time, Zhao Chong suddenly thought of something.
That is, Lin Tianlong was going to rebel, and at that time he was asked to take all the troops of the Tiefeng Army to Jackdaw Town. As for the scouts, they were handed over to the city lord.
If combined with Lin Tianlong's rebellion, it is not ruled out that Lin Tianlong colluded with the barbarians.
Because only in this way can he have enough power to deal with King Nanlong.
In that moment, he suddenly realized that this Lin Tianlong really "grew up", he no longer needed him, and wanted to bury him.
All this in Jackdaw Town was probably a trap for him.
"It seems that you still overestimate your benefactor." After taking a look at the battle report, King Nanlong snorted coldly and said, "This Lin Tianlong really deserves to be killed. "
It turned out that the battle report stated that the scouts sent by Lin Tianlong had joined forces with the barbarians.
The barbarians quickly got the news of Pingyuan City, and they rushed to Pingyuan City.
Their purpose was simple, that is, to take Pingyuan City before the King of Nanlong sent a new general to take over.
Thereby opening the passage into Nanlong.
After Zhao Chong saw the content of the battle report, he was very angry.
Why did he and his family get into danger at the beginning?
That was caused by the barbarians. At that time, he was grateful for Lin Tianlong's appearance. Now it seems that he was stupid.
"It seems that a ferocious wolf can't change its nature after all."
It turned out that Zhao Chong had always hoped that Lin Tianlong would become better and become a good city lord.
But he was disappointed after all.
Lin Tianlong is still the same Lin Tianlong, just pretending in front of him, but privately, it's still the same?
"Zhao Chong, are you still obsessed? "
"Now, because of Lin Tianlong, Pingyuan City will be devastated again. Only you can save the entire Pingyuan City." King Nanlong shouted.
And Zhao Chong also thought of Pingyuan City and his wife, children, and parents, and suddenly a desire to live was ignited. In addition, he didn't want to give up.
If he became a civilian, he would definitely not be able to save his parents.
Since Lin Tianlong was so stubborn and treated him like this, now he couldn't care so much.
"Your Highness, Zhao is willing to surrender.""Okay." King Nanlong was overjoyed and said, "I will appoint you as the Lord of Pingyuan City. I hope you can organize the army, develop the entire Pingyuan City, and destroy those damn barbarians."
"Yes! I obey your order."
"Zhuo Zilin!" King Nanlong did not forget Zhuo Zilin, a rising star.
Under Zhao Chong's training, this Zhuo Zilin is also a star general.
"I am Zhuo Zilin, a humble man, and I meet your Highness."
"I will appoint you as the Lord of Pingyuan City, assist Zhao Chong, and destroy the invading barbarians."
"I obey your order."
"Okay, you go quickly." At this time, King Nanlong looked at Li Taihang and said, "Teacher Li, please."
"Yes."
Li Taihang nodded. He knew that the military situation was urgent, so he did not delay and said, "I will send you two to Pingyuan City now."
