"You don't have to blame Lingbo. I am the personal guard of the little empress. I must always look after the little empress. Otherwise, who knows if she will be snatched away by a beast without eyes."
Qiao Yan smiled slightly and stabbed him back for the third time without any courtesy.
Shangguan Hongye sneered: "I don't know who is blind..."
"You two, let's discuss business. Qiao Yan just said that he has a reason for sending troops to suppress the bandits that His Majesty cannot refuse!"
Ming Lanruo took a deep breath and couldn't help but raise her hand to interrupt the two people.
Whenever these two people meet, no matter how disguised Cang Qiao is, she will join Guan Hongye in a meaningless tearing apart like two women tearing apart their hair.
Of course, if Cang Qiao returns to his original identity of nine thousand years old and the governor of the East Factory, it will become a one-sided crushing of him!
Shangguan Hongye snorted angrily: "My son doesn't even know how he can force his father to send troops?"
Qiao Yan was not angry, but calmly picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "It's very simple. I tell your majesty that those tens of thousands of bandits in the Changbai Mountains are the remnants of the Red Blood Legion. I believe that your majesty will use all the power of the government and the public to suppress them."
bandit'."
As soon as these words came out, Ming Lanruo's pupils shrank and her face stiffened.
Did he know?!
At that moment, she instinctively wanted to look at his face, but she knew that she had to control her expression.
Shangguan Hongye, on the other hand, was stunned and then turned gloomy: "You want to use my father's fear of Xiao Shuai and the Xiao family to deal with those Changbai Mountain bandits?! No, I don't agree!"
Qiao Yan's eyes moved from Ming Lanruo to Shangguan Hongye: "Why?"
Shangguan Hongye said coldly: "Shuai Xiao is a family full of heroes. Since they are already dead, why do you still use their names to stir up disputes?!"
No one else knows how fearful the father is of the Xiao family. How could they, sons, not know?!
When matters involving the Xiao family are involved, my father's actions must be very ruthless. He is afraid that countless innocent people in Northeast China will be implicated.
Back then, my father colluded with the Northern Mongolians and Xixia people to wipe out Xiao Shuai's entire family and committed an irreparable mistake.
Now, how could he stir up unnecessary bloodshed for his own selfish gain!
Qiao Yan narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "I didn't expect that His Highness is still a little benevolent and righteous. But since His Highness is so benevolent and righteous, why should he compete with His Highness the Crown Prince? As long as the throne is involved, blood will be shed. Be your King of Qin.
, isn’t it good?”
Shangguan Hongye knew that Qiao Yan was mocking his hypocrisy.
He snorted coldly: "How presumptuous! You Dongchang fanboys don't need to be weird. I just don't like unnecessary bloodshed!"
"But although our Crown Prince has scheming intentions, he is actually a despicable and narrow-minded person. That kind of thing ascending to the throne of God is definitely not a blessing to the country!"
"As a king, you should clearly distinguish what bloodshed and sacrifice are necessary and what are unnecessary!"
Ming Lanruo's clear and beautiful eyes looked at him with a complicated and deep mood.
She had known him in her previous life, but she didn't know that he still had this side.
Even though she had no feelings for this man, she still had to admit that Shangguan Hongye had the appearance of an emperor.
But she had sacrificed so much in her previous life, but in the end it became the "necessities" that he gave up and sacrificed, which was ultimately difficult to reconcile.
She smiled self-deprecatingly, turned away her eyes, and looked at her thin white fingertips——
Fortunately, in this life, she will never become a "thing" that anyone can discard and sacrifice at will!
Qiao Yan noticed that the look in Ming Lanruo's eyes when she looked at Shangguan Hongye was not only ridiculed but also sad.
His eyes were gloomy for a moment, little lady, what are you sad about? You looked at Shangguan Hongye with that look...
She is such a worrying girl.
But soon, Qiao Yan returned to his normal appearance and smiled faintly: "Your Highness used the reason of annihilating the Red Blood remnants to convince Your Majesty that you cannot control the development of the situation with your ability, but it does not mean that others cannot control the development of the situation.
and His Majesty’s wrath.”
Shangguan Hongye said coldly: "Who can? Can you?"
Qiao Yan said calmly: "Nine thousand years old."
Shangguan Hongye froze. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to admit - yes, who could make his father obey his words better than Jiu Qian?
Ming Lanruo raised her eyes calmly and glanced at Qiao Yan, wanting to know what he was thinking.
Unexpectedly, she raised her eyelashes and saw his eyes looking directly at her.
Ming Lanruo trembled slightly for a moment, his eyes... really gave people goosebumps.
He smiled at her softly and playfully: "My dear lady, what do you think of this idea?
