Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Pingjiang is different from Jiangzhou where Ning Fan once stayed. This place is close to the northwest, and the cuisine tends to be spicy and salty, but the taste is very good.

The main dishes of Pingjiang cuisine are mainly bacon and various pickled vegetables. The taste tends to be spicy and numb, but it is similar to the taste of Ning Fan's hometown, so it suits Ning Fan's appetite.

Xiao Lingxi was sitting opposite Ning Fan. There was something wrong with this dish, but he kept silent and ate quietly. Seeing Ning Fan sweating profusely after eating, Xiao Lingxi was also a little surprised.

"Why don't you eat it? This dish is delicious and the taste is similar to mine."

"Unlike those cooks in the palace, cooking takes as much effort as painting, but it just doesn't taste good. Look at how delicious this dish is. It's more food. It's salty and appetizing. And this kind of bacon tastes fat." But not greasy.”

Ning Fan was full of praise for these dishes and enjoyed eating them. Ning Fan was sweating profusely after eating the meal, and his stomach was full.

Compared with Ning Fan's devouring food, Xiao Lingxi seemed a bit delicate. Not only did she eat in small bites, she also didn't eat much.

After seeing Ning Fan put down his chopsticks, Xiao Lingxi also put down his chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, we should be able to reach Pingnanguan tomorrow night. How do you plan to put down the rebellion in the northwest?"

Xiao Lingxi raised her head and looked at Ning Fan. She was also very concerned about the situation in the northwest. She had read a lot of information sent by the northwest along the way. She also knew the various forces of the northwest rebels very well.

"The various forces in the northwest are intertwined and complicated, and there are also some foreigners, such as the Huns, who are also causing trouble."

"There are still many ordinary people who are short of food and money. They are taking advantage of the chaos and looting. Whether these people should be treated as traitors or ordinary people will be a difficult problem in the future."

Ning Fan's brows knitted into a knot. He also felt very embarrassed about the upcoming problems. After all, even the gods would shake their heads after looking at the chaos in the northwest.

"Let me think about it again. This matter cannot be rushed. Moreover, I heard that the White Lotus Sect that is growing in the northwest is about to spread to the mainland. It seems that this momentum must be curbed."

Ning Fan felt a headache when he thought of the White Lotus Sect, because it was these sects that had rebelled in past dynasties, and ordinary people were easily fooled.

Once these sects gain a firm foothold, their power will grow like a snowball. In less than three months, not even two months, or even half a month, the strength of these sects can grow to one hundred thousand or even hundreds. Ten thousand.

This is a terrifying force, and the entire Dakang Dynasty may be ruined in the hands of the White Lotus Sect.

In fact, those aristocratic families in the northwest are nothing in Ning Fan's eyes. These aristocratic families are actually opposed to the common people. When they rebel, ordinary people will not support them. Therefore, these rebels in the northwest have always been They could only stay in the northwest and didn't make much noise.

But what really made Ning Fan feel threatened was that these powerful families caused chaos in the northwest. The poor people at the bottom had to stand up and rebel because they lacked food and clothing.

These ordinary people are the ones who shake the country. They are like snowflakes, wrapped in huge snowballs and rolling forward. Everything they encounter will be smashed to pieces by them.

Xiao Lingxi had been discussing with Ning Fan until late at night, and then returned to her room. Looking at Xiao Lingxi's beautiful back, Ning Fan wanted to keep him, but in the end he did not speak.

Ning Fan had already made up his mind to get married to Xiao Lingxi immediately after returning to the northwest.

Such a good woman can't be found even with a lantern. It would be a sin to waste even one day.

After Xiao Lingxi left, Ning Fan read under the lamp for a while, then returned to the bed and fell asleep!

Ning Fan had a dream tonight. In the dream, a general in black armor rode a maroon horse and galloped from a distance.

Ning Fan clearly realized that the opponent's target was him. Unfortunately, his hands and feet were paralyzed at this time and he couldn't use any strength. He wanted to run but couldn't, and wanted to shout but couldn't.

The black-armored general couldn't see his face clearly, and he came straight to Ning Fan at an extremely fast speed, raising the long knife in his hand.

Just when Ning Fan woke up from his dream, there were screams outside the house. Ning Fan quickly got up from the bed and put on his clothes. At this time, the guard commander Chen Daniu also opened the door and walked in.

"Your Majesty, there are assassins."

Chen Daniu was covered in blood and holding a knife in his hand. It was obvious that he had been through a fierce battle. There were sounds of guards and assassins fighting in the yard.

Several guards rushed into the room and held the door tightly, while waves of killing shouts rang out in the courtyard.

"Where's Miss Xiao Lingxi? Give me the knife."

He often thought of Xiao Lingxi who lived next door, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. The assassin was so arrogant, wouldn't he hurt Xiao Lingxi?

This is my future wife, so nothing can happen to her.

Realizing what Ning Fan was going to do, the guard commander Chen Daniu stopped Ning Fan.

"Your Majesty, the assassins are outnumbered and it is very dangerous for you to go out at this time."

Chen Daniu said to Ning Fan with difficulty.

Ning Fan stared at Chen Daniu coldly, kicked the door open after one glance, and walked towards the next door. As soon as he came to the corridor, several men in black rushed up, with sharp blades in their hands. He stabbed Ning Fan in the throat.

For a moment, Ning Fan felt goosebumps all over his body. This was the first time he encountered a fatal crisis after being reborn in this era, and the first time he fought with the enemy at such a close range.

However, Ning Fan was worthy of being a special soldier in his previous life, and his reaction speed was extremely fast. He leaned back to avoid the shocking killing move, and at the same time, the big knife in his hand slashed towards the opponent's stomach.

Ning Fan reacted quickly, but the opponent's reaction was not slow either. He raised his foot and kicked Ning Fan in the face, while Ning Fan staggered and almost fell down.

At this time, Chen Daniu and others also chased after them, slashing violently with the sword in their hands, and several assassins were knocked back continuously.

But it was obvious that these assassins were here for Ning Fan. When they saw Ning Fan, the emperor, rushing out of the room, a dozen assassins quickly surrounded him.

Although Chen Daniu and the others fought desperately, there were still constant guards around them who died tragically under the assassin's sword.

The situation was getting more and more critical, but Ning Fan became calmer and calmer at this time.

He knew that this place was not far from Pingzhou Yamen. I believe Fan Mingtao should have heard such a big noise.

If nothing else goes wrong, the Jinyi Guards will soon provide support. However, what surprised Ning Fan was that his two thousand guards did not make any movement at this time. Could it be that they were quietly wiped out by these assassins?
