Happy Emperor

Chapter 121 Crafty

"Boss Li, do you know that you are not good at lying?"

Tang Bo looked at Li Deli with a sneer, picked up the wine glass and drank it.

He was not sure if something had happened to the Yanyu Pavilion in Shengjing. After all, the Yanyu Pavilion was the property of the Seven Nations Alliance, and the dog emperor Li did not dare to touch this place easily.

But not daring to move doesn’t mean that you really can’t move.

When Tang Bo saw Li Deli looking a little embarrassed, he guessed that there might be a problem in Shengjing.

After his trick just now, I became more certain of my guess.

"Emperor Li, Emperor Li. I will make you pay double for the humiliation you inflicted on me. And that bitch Batu Jin, I've been a dog in your Batu family for so many years, and you actually chose that dog-like emperor over me?"

"I don't know who it was that said Emperor Li was unworthy of me. But in the end, he still knelt at his feet!"

Li Deli saw that Tang Bo's face was extremely gloomy and thought that he was thinking about how to deal with him.

I felt bad in my heart.

This guy must be planning how to use himself to gain merit!

Li Deli felt extremely regretful.

"Why would you risk money? Even though I'm not rich, I can still find a wife and children in a remote village."

I was fine when I came here, but now I can't leave.

Just when Li Deli was about to slap himself a few times, Tang Bo asked coldly.

"Boss Li, is there something wrong with Shengjing Yanyu Pavilion? Are you coming to me for help?"

"no!"

Li Deli subconsciously shook his head in denial.

"is it?"

Tang Bo looked at Li Deli with a mocking expression and sneered, "Then, Boss Li, please stay in our Qingning Mansion for a few days. I'm sure if something happens to the Shengjing Yanyu Pavilion, they will be transferred back to the Yanyu Pavilion in Liaoan Province in a few days. You can explain it to them then."

"Oh, and I'm sure Boss Li knows this too. The Misty Rain Pavilion in Liaoan Province isn't managed by people from your Zhao State. I'm afraid even if you want to plead for mercy, no one will give you a chance."

When Li Deli heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and his expression became extremely ugly.

But he never admitted it, as he was not sure what Tang Bo wanted to do.

Tang Bo didn't ask any more questions, but continued talking to himself.

"Based on my understanding of the working style of your Seven Nations Alliance, if there really is a problem with Shengjing Yanyu Pavilion, Boss Li will probably end up in a terrible situation! I heard that he might be fed to dogs or bitten by thousands of insects. Or are you..."

"Master Tang."

Li Deli fell to his knees and spoke tremblingly.

"For the sake of giving you most of the income from Shengjing Yanyu Pavilion, please... please spare my life."

"What is Boss Li doing?"

Tang Bo smiled sinisterly and said, "When did I ever want to harm you?"

"Shengjing Misty Rain Pavilion is gone!"

"Gone?"

Tang Bo pretended to be shocked, "Does the dog emperor dare to touch the property of the Seven Nations Alliance?"

"No...it wasn't him who moved it, it was the Beihuan cavalry."

"Beihuan Cavalry?"

"Yes!"

Li Deli didn't dare to hide anything anymore and quickly nodded in response, "After I returned to Shengjing from Liao'an Province, I found that Yanyu Pavilion was in ruins and deserted. After some secret inquiries, I learned that it was the Northern Huan cavalry who robbed Yanyu Pavilion."

"How could they possibly appear in Shengjing? Don't the people of Beihuan have a feud with Daxia?"

Tang Bo looked at Li Deli suspiciously.

He obviously didn't know about Lin Tian's victory over Bei Huan in Ningfeng Province.

"Here's the thing..."

Li Deli told Tang Bo everything he knew.

"You mean you bribed Beihuan's men to secretly get rid of the dog emperor? But you didn't expect Beihuan's men to fail in the assassination attempt, and then they suffered heavy losses, and they took their anger out on you."

Tang Bo sneered and said, "Boss Li is really courageous!"

"Those in Beihuan are barbarians. They are so dishonest."

Li Deli gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Lord Yourong also knows about this. After all, I am working for the higher-ups. If this were to get to know the other countries in the Seven Nations Alliance, I'm afraid Lord Tang wouldn't be able to report to Lord Yourong."

Li Deli has regained his composure.

He always insisted that it was not Emperor Li who did it, but that it was the Beihuan cavalry who destroyed the Shengjing Yanyu Pavilion, and he was trying to save his own life, or to avoid a tragic death.

Because only by saying this would he prevent his superiors from using him as a scapegoat and handing him over to the Seven-Nation Alliance.

The Seven-Nation Alliance was unaware that the Prince and Princess of Zhao were plotting to seize the territory of Daxia.

"Are you threatening me?"

Tang Bo's eyes turned cold as he said in a cold voice, "Remember, we are just partners. As for that woman Yourong, and the princess of Zhao, I don't need to obey their orders."

"You...you are not our Zhao State's internal supporter?"

This time it was Li Deli who looked at Tang Bo in disbelief. He had always thought that Tang Bo was bribed by their Zhao State to serve him.

"Humph!"

Tang Bo sneered, "I am from Daxia, how can I be an insider for your Zhao State?"

"Shameless! You've already taken the money, and now you still have the nerve to speak so righteously."

Li Deli cursed in his heart.

"I am the young prince's man. I am only following orders and cooperating with you."

Tang Bo seemed to see the disdain in Li Deli's heart and began to explain.

He has been studying poetry and books since he was young, and has always considered himself noble and capable, and he is sure to achieve great things in Daxia.

How could he be accused of collaborating with the enemy country?

But, he followed Lin Zhen, the son of King Pingdong.

That was a different situation, he could only be considered to be obeying the orders of the royal family.

As for how the young prince Lin Zhen thinks and does things, that is none of his business.

In the final analysis, it is actually just self-deception of scholars.

"Then...then what made you let me go?"

Li Deli was a little panicked. You know, if Tang Bo was not the traitor, then the threat he had just made would have no effect.

After all, he doesn't need to be responsible to Zhao State.

"Right...right. I know a lot about Young Prince Lin Zhen and our Zhao State. If you want to hand me over to the Misty Rain Pavilion in Liaoan Province in exchange for silver, I'm afraid Young Prince Lin Zhen won't let you go."

After thinking about this, Li Deli spoke hurriedly.

"hehe."

Tang Bo sneered, "Boss Li, are you really stupid, or are you just pretending to be stupid?"

"I really don't understand why Zhao would send you to take charge of the Misty Rain Pavilion in Shengjing, such an important place?"

"You...what do you mean?"

Li Deli was a little frightened by Tang Bo's laughter.

"Have you ever seen a dead person tell tales?" Tang Bo said coldly.

"Please, let it go."

At this moment, Li Deli was completely panicked. He reached into his underwear with trembling hands and took out a few wrinkled banknotes.

"This... all of this is for you, as long as you let me go."

"Boss Li, we brothers can discuss anything."

Tang Bo changed his expression, and the viciousness on his face turned into a smile again. He stepped forward and helped Li Deli up.

He stuffed the banknotes in Li Deli's hand back into his clothes.

"Not only will I let you go, I'll also give you a large sum of money so you can find a place to spend your old age. And I won't tell anyone above you about this."

"Okay... okay, thank you... thank you, Lord Tang, for your magnanimity."

After saying that, Li Deli wanted to leave the room tremblingly.

"and many more!"

Looking at Li Deli's back, Tang Bo shouted.
