Chonghou Hu was shocked when he heard Tian Zi's scolding. From what he knew, the Emperor should not care about the lives of the commoners, which was why he could speak without fear. Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Chonghou Hu didn't have time to think. He quickly knelt on the ground and cupped his fists." Your Majesty, please forgive me. I'm only thinking for Your Majesty. I'll finish repairing Deer Terrace as soon as possible so that Your Majesty can enjoy happiness!"”
Chonghou Hu was also a tactful old man. What he said was that everything was for Tian Zi. What else could Tian Zi do? Could it be that he was doing bad things for his good intentions?
"You mean this is all my fault?" Ling Fan said coldly. I asked you to build Deer Terrace, but did I ask you to kill?”
When Chonghou Hu heard the emperor's unhappy tone, he felt a chill in his heart. He quickly added," Your Majesty, I dare not. I have been working hard for you every day on the matter of Deer Terrace Pavilion. I hope that the construction can be completed quickly so that Your Majesty can live in peace in the summer. Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can understand!"”
Chonghou Hu pretended to be pitiful, hoping to gain the emperor's sympathy.
However, Ling Fan wasn't that easy to fool. In his eyes, even if this Chong Hou tiger died a thousand times, it wouldn't be enough. However, when he thought about how he was the Marquis of North and had a large army under his command, he couldn't be overthrown in one go. He couldn't afford to offend him at the moment because he had to deal with the Dongyi war. It was a time when he needed people. Why couldn't he let this Marquis of North be cannon fodder?
After thinking for a while, Ling Fan said," Marquis of the North, you've indeed worked hard for the matter of Deer Terrace Pavilion. How about this? Leave the matter of Deer Terrace Pavilion to Bigan. Gather people to help me build this tank!"”
Chonghou Hu had a bitter look on his face. He had earned a lot of money as the director of Deer Terrace Restaurant. Not to mention whether he could make this tank himself, just the 10-day deadline was already beyond Chonghou Hu's expectations.
He quickly added," Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't take on the responsibility of building a tank. I hope Your Majesty can choose someone else. I'm afraid I'll disappoint Your Majesty!"”
How could Ling Fan not know what this Marquis of the North was thinking? He was indeed a crafty old fox. Seeing that there was nothing to gain and that the mission was urgent, he wanted to shirk it off. However, Ling Fan did not plan to let him off.
" Marquis of North Bo, you are too kind. I heard that the north has produced many talents under your management. I feel that no one is better than you. Alright, Marquis of North Bo, don't shirk your responsibilities. I can rest assured that you are the one handling the matter!”
Marquis of North Bo wanted to cry. The Emperor was deliberately giving him a difficult problem. If he couldn't make this tank within ten days, with Tian Zi's temper, he would probably lose his temper and punish him. At that time, it would be a sin on top of a crime.
Chonghou Hu's mind was wandering as he thought of a countermeasure. Suddenly, he remembered something and his face was filled with surprise. He said," Your Majesty, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to complete the task of building this tank within ten days. However, I beg Your Majesty to agree to give me a helper. I think with her help, I will definitely be able to build the tank that Your Majesty mentioned within ten days!”
Ling Fan was shocked. Where did this Chong Hou Hu get such confidence from? To think that with the help of a person, he would definitely be able to build this tank within ten days. Ling Fan asked in surprise," Who is this person that Marquis of the North is talking about? Tell me, I want to know you!”
Marquis of North Bo's face was filled with joy. He looked at a middle-aged man with a thick beard and was clad in armor." I'm talking about General Huang Feihu's sister, Huang Feiyan!"”
When Huang Feihu heard Chonghou Hu talking about his sister, he couldn't help but feel angry. This Marquis of the North, His Majesty had clearly given him a mission and was deliberately making things difficult for him. Why did he drag my Huang Family into this?
Huang Feihu glared at Chonghou Hu, his eyes cold. If looks could kill, Chonghou Hu would have died countless times.
Ling Fan looked at Huang Feihu, who had a fierce expression and a strong aura of plague. He was tall and strong, and he couldn't help but size him up. Huang Feihu was an important figure in the Investiture of the Gods. He had the courage of a thousand men and it was rumored that he had a five-colored divine ox mount. He had been loyal for generations and had no choice but to rebel in the end.
"General Huang, may I know where your sister is?" Ling Fan asked Huang Feihu. Since it was recommended by Marquis of North Bo, I believe that your sister must be a talented person. I wonder if you can introduce her to me!”
Huang Feihu seemed to have something he couldn't say. His face was pale, but he couldn't say a word to Tian Zi's reply…
