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

"What are you doing, Your Highness?"

Zhuang Wen was frightened when he saw Ning Fan ordering the killing.

But Yue Zhongping, who was tall and strong, was still struggling and yelling.

Ergou got a stick in his hand from nowhere, walked over and banged it against Yue Zhongping's mouth.

These few blows were so powerful that they knocked out half of Yue Zhongping's teeth.

"Things like animals, without a king or a father, will not be tolerated by heaven and earth!"

After Ergou finished speaking, he stepped hard on Yue Zhongping's head.

Ning Fan nodded secretly. He was the prince and it was not convenient for him to beat him. In fact, he hated Yue Zhongping so much that his teeth itched.

Tianzhou Governor Zhuang Wen didn't react for a while and didn't know what was going on.

After understanding his situation, his face gradually changed from shock to dejection, and the look he looked at Ning Fan was no longer as kind as before, but became like a poisonous snake.

"Your Highness, what does this mean? Is it true that there is no distinction between loyalty and treachery?"

Zhuang Wen sneered, his eyes full of disdain as he stared at Ning Fan.

"Who is a loyal minister and who is a traitor? I, Ning Fan, can still tell the difference. Mr. Zhuang, it's time now, so we don't have to act."

Ning Fan was too lazy to argue with Zhuang Wen. He waved his hand and asked the governor of Tianjiang to let go of Song Chengzhou.

At this time, Song Chengzhou was too frightened and his body was trembling.

After a while, Song Chengzhou regained his composure and looked at Ning Fan with trembling lips: "Your Highness, what is going on? I am confused!"

"What's going on? Then you have to thank Mr. Zhuang. He delivered a secret to the court, saying that Mr. Song conspired to rebel and hid the dragon robe secretly at home."

"This time, on the order of my father, I came to Tianjiang to investigate and deal with this matter..."

Ning Fan told Song Chengzhou everything that happened.

At this time, Song Chengzhou was dumbfounded. He did not expect that there were so many twists and turns behind this, and he, the so-called Governor of Tianjiang, was not aware of it at all.

"Your Highness, I am really dim-sighted and confused. I didn't notice such a big thing at all. If it hadn't been for Your Highness today, I would have almost died without a burial place."

Song Chengzhou burst into tears of gratitude and looked at Ning Fan with eyes filled with admiration.

In fact, in Ning Fan's mind, Song Chengzhou was indeed dim-sighted and confused. His abilities were simply not suitable for the position of Governor of Tianjiang.

The people under his command have done so many things, even the military power has been emptied out, and the palace has been invaded and captured alive. Such a governor is simply a loser.

However, there are some things that Ning Fan cannot say clearly, and after this incident, Song Chengzhou will definitely feel grateful to him, so Song Chengzhou, a feudal official, will also be available in the future, and Ning Fan intends to bring Song Chengzhou under his command.

Ning Fan's thoughts were spinning for a while. He forced a smile on his face, looked at Song Chengzhou and said, "Master Song, please don't say that. Zhuang Wen is too cunning. Master Song is busy with government affairs all day long. How can he have time to talk to this person?" Do you care about a villain?"

Even if Song Chengzhou is not a qualified governor, he is still a useful person for Ning Fan. If he can successfully bring Song Chengzhou under his command, then he will have a lot of help.

After hearing Ning Fan's remarks, Song Chengzhou couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude. He looked like he was willing to go to pieces, which also made Ning Fan quite satisfied.

"Ning Fan: I advise you to look outside. There are five hundred soldiers outside. Those are General Yue's confidants. They will attack at any time, and all of you will die without a burial place."

At this time, Zhuang Wen felt agitated when he saw Ning Fan and Song Chengzhou, the governor of Tianjiang, fighting fiercely.

But for him, the situation is not completely bad now, at least he still has chips in hand to bargain with Ning Fan.

"so what?"

Ning Fan sneered.

"If you let me go now, I can also ask them to let you go. We will live in peace. We will see you on the battlefield tomorrow."

Zhuang Wen said whimsically.

Ning Fan laughed directly. Could it be that this old boy was having a big dream? Now that he was in his hands, how could he let him escape?

"Ergou, what's going on outside?"

Ning Fan simply didn't bother to deal with Zhuang Wen, the rebel.

"Your Highness, those people outside are ready to move and may attack at any time."

After Ergou checked it out, he hurried in from outside and reported to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan stretched out his hand, pointed at the noses of Zhuang Wen and Yue Zhongping and said, "Tie up these two traitors and keep them under my watch. After I have defeated this gang of thieves, I will deal with these two people. "

Seeing Ning Fan's resolute attitude, Zhuang Wen closed his eyes dejectedly, knowing that he might have lost his last hope of survival.

"Okay, then let's finish it together."

A crazy smile appeared on the corner of Zhuang Wen's mouth.

Ning Fan was too lazy to pay attention to Zhuang Wen. He personally carried his sword and came to the mountain gate. Sure enough, he found that the bandit soldiers outside had begun to fight with the garrison.

The repeating crossbows in the hands of the ten Orion soldiers played a decisive role. A single salvo could hit at least ten people on the opponent's side. This terrifying life-harvesting machine also discouraged the thieves, and their morale was gradually disintegrated.

In the end, the opponent seemed to decide not to attack by force, but instead surrounded them.

"Your Highness, it seems that Yue Zhongping also has a backup plan. The other party is likely to move reinforcements. When a large number of Tianzhou soldiers arrive here, we may be in danger."

Song Chengzhou on the side saw that after these thieves stopped attacking, not only did he not show joy, but he was worried.

"Governor Song, aren't these soldiers in Tianjiang Camp loyal to the imperial court?"

Ning Fan said with a sneer.

Hearing Ning Fan's words, Song Chengzhou's face was full of shame. He shook his head and said: "I have always trusted Zhuang Wen too much. I didn't expect that he has pushed us to this point. And Yue Zhongping has wanted to recognize me as his godfather several times, so I should have been wary."

Hearing that Yue Zhongping wanted to accept Song Chengzhou as his godfather, Ning Fan laughed directly: "Sir Song, you'd better go to the yard and rest. I will handle matters here myself."

Hearing Ning Fan's sarcasm, Song Chengzhou was not angry. He thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said to Ning Fan: "If the thieves increase their troops, I will risk my life to protect His Highness and break out of the siege."

Ning Fan shook his head and said no, he pointed the sword in his hand at the thieves at the foot of the mountain and said: "These people will be killed, no one will be left."

Hearing Ning Fan's confidence, Song Chengzhou's face first showed doubt, and then he thought Ning Fan was crazy.
