After solving a problem in his heart, Emperor Jingping was in a good mood:

"Xiao Zicheng, what request do you want me to agree to your request?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Zicheng, and Xiao Fangzhi even came to him and whispered:

"Son, just ask for some rewards, don't make excessive requests."

If this rebellious son makes any strange requests when he is angry, it will be a disaster if he causes dissatisfaction with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have only one request." Xiao Zicheng's eyes firmly, "I ask Your Majesty to give the Manichaeans a chance to make meritorious deeds."

Judging from His Majesty’s reaction just now, he must have known about the Manichaeans’ intrusion into the deserted mountains and refugees.

Now he wants to save Sun Er and the others, but there is no other possibility except His Majesty's opening of a golden mouth.

After all, the members of the Manichae Kyoto branch led by Sun Er are just thinking about living a stable life.

For them, it is a great blessing to be able to eat and wear well.

Of course, there are risks to plead for the thief.

He also dared to say this because others thought that his head was not very smart.

Everyone looked at Xiao Zicheng with a firm look on his face and looked at Emperor Jingping displeasedly.

At this time, Emperor Jingping's face was dark.

"Bang!"

Xiao Fangzhi slapped Xiao Zicheng in the head, "Don't you kneel down and apologize!"

He lay on the ground tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the dog's head must be unsatisfied. Please forgive me..."

"Your Majesty, I guarantee that the Manichaeus among the deserted mountains will never have the intention of rebellion.

I hope Your Majesty will give them a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service, and lead the bandit leader to arrest him and bring him a bright world to Kyoto."

Emperor Jingping was so angry that his teeth were itchy.

Although he had known this for a long time, he turned a blind eye, but this fool actually made this request in front of the court officials.

But he just made a reason that Xiao Zicheng could not even refuse.

Since the Manichaeism rebellion, although the court has vigorously encircled and suppressed each year, its bandit leader has been extremely mysterious, and the Jinyiwei has failed to successfully arrest him several times.

Besides, the bandit leader claimed that he had come to the world of the Ming King, which was the spirit of Manichaeism. As long as he could be arrested, Manichaeism would scatter like birds and beasts, and would no longer pose a threat.

"Xiao Zicheng, you have to think about it. If something goes wrong, it will be the charge of killing the nine clans."

Emperor Jingping's eyes were deep, like a pool of stagnant water.

Xiao Fangzhi was so scared that he was sweating profusely. He vowed to find the best doctor in Kyoto when he went back and had to treat this rebellious son well.

Such a rebellious word was so ruthless that he pleaded for the rebels.

Just as he was about to force the foolish guy away, Xiao Zicheng said aloud:

"Your Majesty, I will not change my original intention!"

Looking at Xiao Zicheng who looked determined, Emperor Jingping frowned:

"In this way, I will give you seven days. If you cannot catch the bandit leader in seven days, you will be punished as a crime of treason!"

Xiao Fangzhi's eyes went dark and he almost fainted:

"Your Majesty... the Dogzi speaks without saying anything..."

"My minister Xiao Zicheng, receive the order."

Before Xiao Fangzhi could finish speaking, Xiao Zicheng interrupted his father loudly and directly received the order.

Emperor Jingping laughed angry at his actions, waved his hand and said, "Get back."

Looking at Xiao Zicheng's departure, Zhu Rong felt very upset. The King of the Han Dynasty was his role model.

He always wanted to kill Manichi, which directly led to the death of the previous Han kings, to himself.

But just now, when he learned that the Manichae thieves were mixed up among the refugees in the desert, he did not grit his teeth as usual.

He actually... had a very sad feeling. He couldn't help but sigh, then claimed the crime and left the hall.

Zhu Ying walked out of the Chugong Hall, and a cold wind blew outside. What he thought of was the refugees in the barren mountains.

At this moment, he felt deeply and had a lot of thoughts for the first time. He glanced at Xiao Zicheng who was waiting outside the hall and sighed:

"Old Xiao, why do those refugees join the Manichaeism and become thieves? Don't they know that they will lose their heads?"

Xiao Zicheng's mouth trembled slightly, and he looked at Zhu Ying who was in a dull state, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Zhu Ying knew that he was like this, but he didn't dare to answer.

In fact, even if Xiao Zicheng didn't say it, he could vaguely guess something.

Are those barren mountains that refugees regard as paradise really not at all sad?

Not necessarily. They have to go up the mountain to mine every day, do heavy physical work, and endure the cramped environment in the mine and the dangers that may arise at any time.

But... they were so happy.

However, even such a group of ordinary people, many of them were rebels who almost subverted the Great Zhou regime.

Such a split comparison made Zhu Rong feel particularly puzzled.

Looking at Zhu Ying with a sad face, Xiao Zicheng felt full of apology:

"Your Highness, they are not born to be rebels. Who would have done this life without any necessity?"

Zhu Ying looked into the direction of the barren mountain, took a deep breath, and sighed deeply:

"Old Xiao, if you really make those rebels become docile and good people as you said, I will not care about your crime of deceiving you."

Xiao Zicheng grinned. This guy is really stubborn. He obviously couldn't bear it and insisted on getting involved with me...

"Your Highness is extraordinary, and I admire you very much."

Zhu Ying glanced at the right time, and suddenly changed his expression, and the thief came to Xiao Zicheng:

"Old Xiao, the guerrilla tactics you just mentioned in the hall are really amazing. Let me explain in detail how to do it?"

Xiao Zicheng restrained his smile on his lips and said to Zhu Ying:

"Since your highness is interested, I will definitely speak out and say everything."

"Let's go back to the East Palace." Zhu Ying immediately became interested, threw away the trivial matters just now, pulled Xiao Zicheng and left.

......

Zhan Shi Mansion.

Xiao Zicheng breathed a long sigh, picked up the tea on the table and took a few sips, and looked at Zhu Ying with lingering fear.

He never expected that this guy's ability to learn from others was so strong. After asking several times, he almost couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Ying sat on the chair with satisfaction, as if he was still savoring the various uses of guerrilla tactics.

"I'm talking about Lao Xiao." Zhu Ying suddenly stood up and walked to Xiao Zicheng in three or two steps, "I remember you were appointed as the commander of the Beijing Guards by your father, right?"

Looking at his appearance, Xiao Zicheng felt a thrill in his heart. This guy definitely didn't hold back anything...

Sure enough, after receiving the affirmative reply, Zhu Ying's eyes flashed with light, rubbing his hands and laughing:

"Old Xiao, the war is about to begin now, and I am extremely worried. After listening to your guerrilla tactics, I feel even more itchy.

If you have ready-made soldiers under your command, how about pulling them out and practicing?”

A huge question mark slowly floated above Xiao Zicheng's head:
Chapter completed!
