Happy Emperor

Chapter 111 Rakshasa people

"Then something else happened."

Having said this, Qi Mengchan even spoke much more quietly.

It was obvious that he no longer had the confidence he had just now.

"A few years later, the old Wolf Lord passed away, and his eldest son became the new Wolf Lord. Almost at the same time, Emperor Gaozu also successfully inherited the throne of Daxia."

"At that time, Grandma Nian'an and Emperor Gaozu's child was already five years old, a boy."

"My father said that that period was the happiest time for Grandma Nian'an. She told her child almost every day that his father would come to pick them up and take them to Shengjing soon..."

Qi Mengchan's voice choked again, as if this incident happened to her.

"Sure enough, Grandma Nian'an was right. Not long after, Emperor Gaozu sent a special envoy to Beihuan to discuss bringing the two back to Daxia."

“But…but…”

Qi Mengchan's eyes were slightly cold. "But the new Wolf Lord refused to let them go. He...he said that this was an insult to Beihuan because of what happened to Emperor Gaozu back then. He would only let them go if Emperor Gaozu gave them sufficient compensation."

After hearing this, Lin Tian finally understood that the new Wolf Lord wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail Emperor Gaozu.

However, if he asked for some compensation, I believe that someone with the courage of Emperor Gaozu would not refuse.

"Initially, the new Wolf Lord requested 500,000 dou of grain. Although this was a large amount, Emperor Gaozu sent someone to deliver the grain within half a month."

"The new Wolf Lord, seeing how easily food was obtained, seemed to have planned to hand the two over to Daxia, but was persuaded by an outsider."

"Outsiders? Are they from Daxia?"

Lin Tian raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice.

It’s not Lin Tian’s fault for thinking this way.

Since ancient times, there have always been people in China who sell out their country for personal gain.

In modern times, Lin Tian has also come into contact with this type of people, who call themselves "independent thinkers."

Lin Tian hated this kind of people to the core, so when Qi Mengchan said that they were outsiders, the first person he thought of was these people.

"No, it seems this person is from Rakshasa."

"Rakshasa!"

Hearing this name, Lin Tian felt a little cold in his heart.

I didn't expect that they were involved in this matter.

Luosha is located on the north side of Beihuan. It is said that its territory is vast and its national strength is terrifying. No country in China can resist it alone.

Lin Tian seemed to begin to understand why Emperor Gaozu did not kill all the people of Beihuan.

"Under this man's guidance, the new Wolf Lord's appetite began to grow. From food at first, to gold and silver later, countless rare treasures, he repeatedly killed people from Daxia who came to Beihuan to do business, and plundered their property."

"I heard that although Emperor Gaozu was already furious at the time, Daxia's ministers were still urging him to use military force against the Northern Huan."

"But Emperor Gaozu still didn't do that."

"Until... until the new Wolf Lord began demanding that Daxia cede land and even threatened Emperor Gaozu with the lives of his sister and nephew."

"The Emperor Gaozu will definitely not give up on land!"

Lin Tian muttered to himself coldly.

Based on his understanding of Emperor Gaozu, such a tyrant would only compensate for the gold, silver and treasures out of guilt.

Want territory?

Not attacking you and asking you for territory is just giving face to the Beihuan people.

"kindness!"

Qi Mengchan nodded slightly. Indeed, Emperor Gaozu decisively rejected this proposal.

"But, the new Wolf Lord was unwilling to give in. At the instigation of that Rakshasa, he began to try to force Emperor Gaozu to submit."

Qi Mengchan gritted her teeth and paused before speaking viciously, "He... that bastard saw that Emperor Gaozu hadn't agreed. He actually started cutting off Grandma Nian'an's fingers and sent someone to Daxia. Later, when Emperor Gaozu remained indifferent, he started cutting off the child's fingers. Finally, one night, after not receiving a reply from Emperor Gaozu for many days, he was so angry that he chopped off the heads of the two and sent someone to Daxia overnight! That's why..."

"boom!"

Lin Tian slammed his clenched fists on the square table, and the solid wood square table suddenly cracked in the middle.

Qi Mengchan was shocked by Lin Tian's actions.

He didn't expect Lin Tian to be so angry.

However, the Beihuan Wolf Lord did go too far.

Even if outsiders heard about this, they would think he was worse than pigs and dogs.

This is also the reason why she has never wanted to tell the truth about this matter to those people in Beihuan.

After all, it is a shame to have such ancestors.

"What happened to that Rakshasa? What happened to him later?"

"do not know!"

Qi Mengchan shook her head.

"No one has seen this person since that night. I heard from my father that he seemed to have completed the mission assigned to him and left Beihuan."

Now Lin Tian completely understood why Emperor Gaozu suddenly attacked Beihuan, why he was unwilling to record this incident in history books, and why he did not completely eliminate Beihuan.

The existence of Beihuan is a natural barrier for Daxia, and Luosha cannot launch a surprise attack on Daxia.

Because if Luosha wants to attack Daxia, he must first take over Beihuan.

Once Beihuan is attacked, it will immediately surrender to Daxia.

At this time, Daxia will have enough time to prepare.

"I have told you everything. Can you please let the remaining Beihuan people go?"

Qi Mengchan dared to ask in a low voice only after she saw that Emperor Li had calmed down a little.

"On a chosen day, I will notify Huang Xu to send troops to escort the remaining Beihuan cavalry back to Beihuan. Unmarried individuals among these individuals are allowed to choose Daxia women as their wives and return to Beihuan with them. Of course, this requires mutual consent. However, there are two conditions."

Lin Tian thought for a moment and said in a cold voice.

"Thank you, thank you for your grace!"

Qi Mengchan knew that Emperor Li would definitely not use them again after this incident.

But what she didn't expect was that after Emperor Li knew about this, he actually agreed to let them return to Beihuan.

These people should also be betrothed to women from Daxia.

"Your Majesty, I will agree to any conditions."

Qi Mengchan agreed without thinking.

"First, you must remain by my side as a hostage. Second, tell these people the truth about what happened to Emperor Gaozu."

"I don't want the people of Beihuan to continue to misunderstand us, Daxia. If there is a next time, it will be the time for you, Beihuan, to exterminate your entire clan."

"this......."

Qi Mengchan was a little confused. She didn't expect that Emperor Li would have these two requirements.

She could accept staying.

However, she still didn't want to speak out when she told the cavalry about this.

Although, this matter was not done by their Qimeng family, and although, she also hated the Wolf Lord at that time.

But this matter is too disgusting.

Qi Mengchan was worried that once the whole matter was told, it would be reported to the Beihuan cavalry.

Everyone in the entire Beihuan will know about it soon.

Then the Wolf Lord’s ruling position may be lost.

After all, when they were selecting the Wolf Lord, they all declared that the Wolf Lord was the child of God and a person of high moral character.

"Either die! Or tell the truth!"

Lin Tian was a little impatient and spoke word by word as he looked at Qi Mengchan.

"Okay...I promise!"

Just as Qi Mengchan finished speaking.

There was a rapid knock on the door.

Qi Mengchan hurriedly put on her clothes.

Only then did Lin Tian call the person in.

"Your Majesty, Duan Chengming just sent back a message that there is a problem with food supplies at the front."

The person who came in was An Bilie, who knelt down and worshipped as soon as he entered the room.
