Three days later.
Shangguan Haitang hurried day and night, and finally saw the outline of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
He couldn't help but increase his speed. The whip danced in the wind and whipped the horse's buttocks.
"Giddyup."
"Giddyup."
Shangguan Haitang rode swiftly and arrived at the entrance of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa.
He dismounted from his horse and walked towards the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa with the secret edict.
However, he saw Duan Tianya as he walked over.
"Haitang?"
"You're back."
Shangguan Haitang immediately stopped and looked at Duan Tianya.
"Where's Lord Marquis?"
"I have something to report."
Duan Tianya was a little surprised. After all, Shangguan Haitang had always been calm, but she seemed a little anxious today.
"Godfather went out."
"It'll take a while before he can come back."
Hearing Duan Tianya's words, Shangguan Haitang also sighed.
His face was filled with disappointment.
Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang sat in the pavilion, chatting to pass the time.
"Have you met His Majesty?"
Turning the teacup over, Duan Tianya poured Shangguan Haitang a cup of tea.
Shangguan Haitang slowly took a sip, took a deep breath, and nodded.
When Duan Tianya heard this, he was also interested. After all, he was also extremely curious about this young emperor who had defeated the Eight Tigers and flattened the Jurchen.
"Tell me."
"What kind of person is Tian Zi?"
Shangguan Haitang pursed her lips and pondered, biting her lips.
“emmmmmmmmmm。”
"Red lips, white teeth, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes."
"He looks quite decent."
Duan Tianya had a helpless look on his face. He smiled and shook his head.
"Haitang, you know that's not what I'm asking.”
Duan Tianya poured Shangguan Haitang's teacup again and spoke slowly.
"I heard that the emperor killed the corrupt officials in the court.”
"Nine families were executed for buying and selling official positions.”
"This method is truly ruthless.”、
Shangguan Haitang was indeed a little dissatisfied when she heard that. She pursed her lips.
"I don't dare to agree with what you said.”
Shangguan Haitang still remembered what Zhu Houzhao had said when he had flown into a rage in the Imperial Court that day.
At this moment, he took them all out.
"As you say."
"Students from poor families, ten years of hardship."
"Just to enter the Imperial Court and serve Great Ming.”
"However, these corrupt officials can sell them to rich kids for a few thousand taels.”
"If you were one of these poor students, what would you think?”
Duan Tianya was indeed stunned when he heard Shangguan Haitang's words. He did not expect these words to come out of her mouth.
Shangguan Haitang conveyed Zhu Houzhao's words to Duan Tianya.
Looking at his shocked expression, he could not help but feel smug.
"That's why I said it."
"This corrupt official has to be killed."
"Let them not dare to sell their official positions!"
"This rich kid has to be killed too."
"There will still be people who don't want to buy an official position.”
"Therefore, for the sake of the common people who are students of the Humble Class, these people must be killed.”
"And kill them all!"
Duan Tianya couldn't help but admire Shangguan Haitang and give her a thumbs up.
"A scholar who has been separated for three days should be treated differently."
"This trip wasn't wasted."
Shangguan Haitang smiled proudly when she heard Duan Tianya's praise.
But suddenly, the voice of Iron-guts Deity Marquis Zhu came from the room.
Haitang, come in."
Shangguan Haitang hurriedly picked up the scroll, waved at Duan Tianya, and ran into the house.
Duan Tianya looked at Shangguan Haitang and smiled.
Hearing Haitang's words, he couldn't help but want to meet the current emperor.
As she thought about it, she drank her tea.
……
"Shangguan Hai Tang greets Lord Marquis."
"Return the Dragon Protection Token now."
Zhu Budian nodded and took the Dragon Protection Badge.
"Lord Marquis."
"His Majesty personally wrote it and specially ordered me to give it to you.”
Shangguan Haitang said as she took down the scroll.
However, Zhu Budian immediately stood up and slowly stood behind Shanghuan Haitang, kneeling on the ground.
"His Majesty's handwriting."
"How can I not kneel?"
As Zhu Houzhao spoke, he kneeled on the ground and bowed.
Shangguan Haitang smiled bitterly and turned around to take out the imperial edict from the scroll.
"King Huai is secretly recruiting troops and buying supplies. He has 100,000 mercenaries and is eyeing them like a tiger.”
"We also found out that he colluded with the Jurchen of Haixi and betrayed the country. Tens of thousands of Ming soldiers were buried in the border.”
"His crimes are unforgivable, and his heart is even more so!”
"I hereby order Zhu Budian of the Dragon Guard Mountain Villa to go to Pingfan.”
"King Ruohuai won't die."
"The Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa no longer exists!"
Shangguan Haitang looked at Zhu Houzhao's vigorous and powerful writing and King Huai's actions, and could not help but be shocked.
However, Zhu Buduan's expression did not change at all. He kowtowed to the ground.
"I am."
"Zhu Budian."
"I receive the decree."
Shangguan Haitang handed the imperial edict to Zhu Guan as he spoke.
Zhu Budian raised the imperial edict above his head and slowly stood up before holding it in his hand.
Looking at the Emperor's treasured seal, Zhu Budian's face darkened.
"King Huai."
"How bold."
"How dare you do such a rebellious thing."
"This time, I will personally go out to kill the traitor!”
"Quickly have Yellow No.1 Heaven and Earth choose 2,000 elites.”
"Follow me!"
"Haitang, you don't have to go this time.”
"In charge of all the affairs in the village."
Shangguan Haitang couldn't help but worry and hurriedly said.
"Lord Marquis."
"King Huai is powerful, with a total of 100,000 troops!”
"But you only brought less than 10,000 people."
"I'm a little worried."
Zhu Budian's expression was serious as he sneered.
"King Huai?"
"Humph."
"A mere 100,000 soldiers."
"They're just a motley crew."
"These few thousand people are enough."
"I will call King Huai and regret his actions!”
