Chapter 189
One day later!

Zhu Houzhao arrived in Anqing City with an army of [-]!

Looking at the scorched marks on the city wall of Anqing, I knew that there must have been a fierce battle here.

Damn King Ning, you can't hold on for a while until I personally come to deal with you.

"Welcome to the emperor."

Sun, the magistrate of Anqing, received a letter from Xichang half a day in advance, and learned that the emperor had come to Anqing in person, so he used all his manpower to clean up a clean road.

Another hour earlier, he brought all the officials in the city to meet Zhu Houzhao at the gate of the city.

"Calm down, take me to see Zhu Chenhao."

Zhu Houzhao looked around, but he didn't see Xia Yan in the crowd, so he decided to meet this good brother first.

"Your Majesty, please come with me."

Mr. Sun, the magistrate of Anqing, stepped forward to hold Zhu Houzhao's horse, acted as a groom, and walked towards Zhu Chenhao's cell.

"The army camped in place." After Wang Zhi gave an order, he followed Zhu Houzhao.

"Where is Xia Yan? Why didn't you come to pick him up?" Zhu Houzhao asked while riding on the horse.

"Lord Xia has been helping the common people build houses recently, so he may not have noticed the emperor's arrival." The magistrate of Anqing smiled and explained a few words for Xia Yan.

"Hehe." Zhu Houzhao smiled, "King Ning led an army of [-] to attack, how did you defend Anqing?"

"In Anqing City, Xie Cheng, a city defense officer, commanded well. Using kerosene, rolling stones, and red cannons, he led the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely and defend the city." Sun Zhifu said with a smile.

"Not bad, where is your thanks?" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

"The minister is here." Xie Cheng stepped out from among the officials and walked to Zhu Houzhao's side.

"He is indeed a good-looking talent." Zhu Houzhao praised with a smile, but his eyes were cold.

If he hadn't known the situation in Anqing City in advance, he might have been deceived.

"I heard that Xia Yan captured King Ning alive among the ten thousand troops. Is this true?" Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this matter is slightly exaggerated. Sir Xie restrained most of the enemies from the front that day, so Master Xia had the opportunity to capture King Ning alone."

Sun Zhifu was all smiles, and he almost said that the success of defending the city was all thanks to Xie Cheng.

"Prefect Sun is absurdly praised. It is due to the great grace of the emperor, and prefect Sun and the city officials have spared no effort to provide fire oil and rolling stones to defend against King Ning's attack." Xie Cheng complimented with a smile.

Wang Zhi watched the performance of the two, as if watching two clowns.

The victories that Xia Yan and his soldiers fought so hard to achieve were all pinned on their own heads. It was true that the intelligence of Xichang and Jin Yiwei was false.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that Sun Zhifu and Xie Cheng were both stupid.

Xia Yan imprisoned him in the prison in Anqing City and gave up the credit.

This obviously guessed that he would be angry because of the fact that Yu Jia's personal conquest died without a problem, so he deliberately made excuses and avoided seeing him!
Choose to let the magistrate of Anqing hand over Zhu Chenhao.

Now the magistrate of Anqing greedily wants to take all the credit, maybe that's what Xia Yan expects to see.

The two people's calculations were very loud, but they took it for granted!

I only saw the credit, but didn't see the risks in it.

What's more, Xia Yan is the future brother-in-law chosen by him, and these two people really deserve death.

A group of people soon came to the prison cell in Anqing City.

The jailer stepped forward to greet them, and saluted everyone respectfully.

"My lords, please stop." Wang Zhi said with a smile as he looked at the prefect of Anqing and the others.

The magistrate of Anqing and others stopped tactfully, and arched their hands at Zhu Houzhao and Wang Zhi.

Zhu Houzhao and Wang Zhi walked into the cell, and the jailer immediately led them to see Zhu Chenhao.

After the jailer opened the cell door, he wisely led everyone out of the cell.

Wang Zhi brought a clean stool, put it at the door of the cell, and asked Zhu Houzhao to sit down.

"Your Majesty, I was instigated by others. Please cut off your title. Please forgive me for the sake of being of the same clan."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Chenhao ran over immediately, knelt down in front of him and begged bitterly.

"Hehe, who encouraged you?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"It's a man wearing an ice mask, and he calls himself Indra."

Di Shitian abandoned Zhu Chenhao!
Zhu Chenhao also put all the charges on him.

"Wang Zhi, do you know who Di Shitian is?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"This person is in Yizhou, founded Tianmen, and calls himself a god." Wang Zhi repeated what he heard from Xia Yan.

"This man is ambitious, and his plans are not small."

"When Xia Yan was traveling in Yizhou, he noticed that the people's transportation was thin, and I sent people to investigate."

The anger in Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed away.

The chaos in Yangzhou has just been put down, and there are people in Yizhou who are secretly rebelling!

This is simply not paying attention to the court!

"Zhu Chenhao, how did you know Di Shitian?"

Zhu Chenhao felt a little troubled, because Di Shitian met by chance on the way.

His strength is so strong that even the deadly scholar is played by him, which is why he is allowed to go with the army.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would abandon himself and run away.

"He found it by himself, and said that he has lived for thousands of years and is well-informed, so I will listen to him."

Zhu Houzhao stood up from the chair in shock, "Impossible, the land gods can only live for a thousand years, how could he live for a thousand years."

"I don't believe it either, but that's what he told me." Zhu Chenhao said cautiously.

"Wang Zhi, check it out for me. I want to know all the information about Di Shitian." Zhu Houzhao ordered, and then said, "How did Xia Yan defeat Di Shitian?"

"They were moving so fast I couldn't see them clearly."

Zhu Chenhao originally thought that Di Shitian's martial arts were already the best in the world.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yan was able to fight against Di Shitian, and in the end he passed through tens of thousands of soldiers and captured himself alive.

"I think I treat you well, why do you turn against me." Zhu Houzhao's eyes were cold.

If Zhu Chenhao hadn't prepared carefully, how could he gather [-] soldiers all at once.

"I didn't intend to rebel, it was all persecuted by Di Shitian." Zhu Chenhao still argued.

"Struggling to death." Zhu Houzhao got up and walked out of the cell, "Wang Zhi, call Xia Yan to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Zhi followed quickly and came outside the cell.

"You send people to look after King Ning, don't let him die." Zhu Houzhao said calmly, "Prefect Sun, I'm tired."

"I have already arranged the residence for the emperor, please come with me." Prefect Sun bowed his hands and then led the way.

Wang Zhi followed Zhu Houzhao until they settled down, and then went out and announced the decree loudly.

"The emperor has a decree to call Xia Yan, the governor of Jinyiwei, to meet him at the palace!"

The voice was neither soft nor heavy, but it spread throughout Anqing City.

After Xia Yan heard the voice, he understood that Wang Zhi had used human luck.

I just didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to summon him so soon.
