Happy Emperor

Chapter 105: The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows?

After listening to An Bilie's explanation.

Lin Tian certainly understood why Emperor Gaozu established this rule.

On the surface, it seemed that he couldn't bear to see the increase in casualties among Daxia soldiers due to the order to massacre the city.

So over time, it became a situation where as long as the Beihuan cavalry surrendered.

The Daxia soldiers would stop attacking without any military orders.

In fact, according to Lin Tian’s current understanding of this legendary emperor of Daxia.

He could not stop carrying out this order simply because it would increase the casualties of the soldiers.

With the strength of the Great Xia at that time, even if the Northern Huan were ten times stronger, Emperor Gaozu would still be able to crush it if he wanted to.

Moreover, massacring the city is the best way to prevent Beihuan from retaliating again.

However, Emperor Gaozu behaved contrary to his usual behavior.

After venting his anger, he quickly withdrew the Da Xia troops.

In the end, only the Ouyang family, which had strong defensive combat capabilities, was left to guard Ningfeng Province.

Why is all this happening?

Lin Tian could not find any answers from the records left by Emperor Gaozu.

But now is not the time to think about this.

Lin Tian stepped out of the 'position' and stepped on the corpses to come in front of the Beihuan cavalry.

He said coldly, "Where is Qi Mengchan? If you are not dead, come out and see me!"

Lin Tian shouted coldly at the Beihuan cavalrymen who were kneeling on the ground in front of him.

"Young... Young Master... She didn't enter the palace with us! She should be... outside the palace now."

Ge Erxiong said to Lin Tian in a trembling voice.

After hearing this, Lin Tian's brows suddenly frowned.

He said hurriedly: "An Bilie, return to the position. Be careful..."

Before Lin Tian could finish his words, he saw a small beam of fire approaching them rapidly from a distance.

Suddenly, the Royal Guards became somewhat panicked.

However, these remaining royal guards were carefully selected soldiers after all.

After a slight panic, they immediately and orderly protected Emperor Li and rushed towards the cold palace.

Lin Tian frowned.

He was not worried about Qi Mengchan's tactic of catching the cicada while the oriole was behind.

However, Qi Mengchan's behavior was indeed beyond his expectations.

According to normal logic, the number of Beihuan cavalry is not large, and they should concentrate their forces to charge into the palace and fight to the death with him to have a greater chance of winning.

Instead of adopting the 'add fuel' tactic like this.

unless......

Thinking of that possibility, Lin Tian felt a chill in his heart.

"Did Qi Mengchan know that she had successfully developed the musket? That's why she sent these scapegoats to feign surrender and then launch a surprise attack!"

If Qi Mengchan knew about this, it would mean that Yanyu Pavilion knew about this and informed the people of Beihuan.

However, this matter can be said to have been kept top secret by him.

No one should know about this!

If this situation had not suddenly occurred tonight, he would not even have allowed the musket he developed to be publicly displayed.

He left this surprise for King Pingdong!

Before Lin Tian could think about it, the Beihuan cavalry were less than a hundred meters away from them.

Lin Tian and a group of royal guards have also returned to the positions outside the cold palace.

Start loading bullets and gunpowder.

It’s not that Lin Tian and his men don’t dare to fight in close combat with these people from Beihuan.

Instead, they were worried that these muskets would fall into the hands of the Beihuan people in a panic, and then they would be prey.

Before the preparations here were completed.

In the flickering light of the torches, Lin Tian clearly saw that the person leading the group was Qi Mengchan.

But Qi Mengchan's next action made Lin Tian and the royal guards stunned at the same time.

She did not go straight to Emperor Li and the others.

Instead, he stopped beside the kidnapped Beihuan cavalry.

Qi Mengchan glanced at the Beihuan cavalrymen lying on the ground.

His whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and his eyes were looking coldly in the direction of Lin Tian.

Although the two were a hundred meters apart, Lin Tian could still feel the chill from the woman's icy eyes.

However, after a few seconds, these cold eyes no longer looked at Lin Tian, ​​but shifted to the tied Geer brothers.

Then, dismount!

The Northern Huan cavalry who arrived later also dismounted!

"Young... Young Master, you are right! Emperor Li is indeed insidious. There is an ambush in the palace!"

Ge Erhu looked ashamed.

After a pause, his expression suddenly turned cold again, and he scolded Qi Mengchan: "However, you did it wrong just now. If you had not stopped and went straight to the Emperor of Daxia, I believe..."

"Snapped!"

Before Ge Erhu could finish his words, Qi Mengchan raised her hand and slapped him hard in the face.

"You...you almost destroyed the last bloodline of our Beihuan clan! And you still dare to teach me a lesson?"

Qi Mengchan's voice was frighteningly cold; the entire palace could clearly hear the slap and her words.

"Your Majesty, they are..."

"Don't shoot without my order!"

Lin Tian gave an order to An Bilie beside him in a deep voice.

Although I only heard a conversation between Qi Mengchan and a man who looked like the leader of the Beihuan cavalry.

He could tell that Qi Mengchan probably didn't want to do this.

However, Lin Tian was not stupid enough to lead his men out just now.

Don't shoot!

It is to give Qi Mengchan the last chance.

Mainly, Lin Tian wanted to know how much Yanyu Pavilion knew about his successful development of the musket.

Moreover, he also wanted to ask the people of Beihuan in person about what happened to Emperor Gaozu to see how much they knew about the matter.

The more Lin Tian thought about it, the more he felt that Emperor Gaozu deliberately left behind this group of people from Beihuan.

"Woman, you really can't accomplish anything great!"

Ge Erhu was obviously not convinced. He just thought that he had not seen through Emperor Li's insidiousness.

But he still believes that his decision was right.

At least, if he succeeds, he will be a hero of Beihuan.

You can even become the new Wolf Lord!

Qi Mengchan did not get overly entangled with Ge Erhu.

Instead, they followed the example of the Beihuan people who had just surrendered and collectively threw their weapons behind them where they could not reach them in the short term.

Then he knelt down in the direction of Emperor Li.

"The daughter of the Beihuan Wolf Lord, Qi Mengchan!"

"Apologize to the Emperor of Daxia!"

After saying that, he threw himself down, his upper body pressed against the ground mixed with the blood of the Beihuan cavalry, his butt raised, and then he lay motionless again.

"This... is this a fucking attempt to blackmail me? Or is it to...?"

Lin Tian was annoyed by Qi Mengchan's posture.

"Cough cough."

An Bilie on the side hurriedly coughed a few times.

Remind Emperor Li to pay attention to the occasion and wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

Then he explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the gesture of the female leader of Beihuan represents her complete submission to Daxia and her willingness to become its vassal. It also... also represents..."

An Bilie was a little hesitant. He didn't want to tell Emperor Li that any Beihuan woman who made such a gesture meant that she was willing to offer her body.

He knew that Emperor Li was lustful, and the women of Beihuan were particularly good at it.

This can easily damage the dragon's body!

But Lin Tian is not a fool. He understood even if An Bilie didn't finish what he said.

"This gesture signifies surrender and willingness to become a vassal state. Lin Tian may not know this, but if a woman makes such a gesture in front of him, he knows what it means."

Of course, this is not yoga.
