Before Ang Lee summoned the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect, he had to figure out the purpose of this guy's visit. Only in this way could he take the initiative. It seemed that this person's purpose was not difficult to guess.
When Black Wolf suffered a devastating blow and the elites of the Tang Dynasty army marched toward the Dragon Teeth Sect, the so-called King of the Dragon Teeth Sect disappeared without a trace. Now, everything had stabilized, but he suddenly asked for an audience at this time. This was enough to show that he was not kidnapped by someone, but ran away by himself. Now he suddenly asked to see Ang Lee, probably because he had learned about what had happened to Black Wolf. He thought that even a villain like Black Wolf could be treated well. As a puppet king, he had not done anything bad, so naturally, he would not be embarrassed by the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he came to see Ang Lee.
His purpose of asking to see Ang Lee might be to restore his rule, that is, to continue to be the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect. Even if he was a puppet of the Tang Dynasty, he was willing to do it. As long as he could eat and drink and enjoy life in abundance, he would be satisfied.
"Fei Yu, you're right. This guy suddenly appeared at this critical moment. He must be trying to restore his throne. What a cunning old man! He didn't appear at the critical moment. Now that the situation is clear, he comes out to take advantage of it. How can there be such a good thing in the world? "
Ang Lee sneered, thinking that the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect was too naive. He was simply a child.
The so-called critical moment was naturally the critical moment when the Tang Dynasty announced the establishment of four counties in Nanyang. The establishment of these four counties was crucial for the Tang Dynasty's control of the sea routes in this area of Malacca. It must be paid special attention to, and there must be no problems.
The news had been leaked out very early. Almost all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty knew about it. Gradually, even the local people knew about it. The former King of the Dragon Teeth Sect probably also heard about it. The Dragon Teeth Sect was originally his world, but it was taken over by Black Wolf last year and he became a puppet. Now the Tang Dynasty's troops had wiped out Black Wolf's forces, which was good news for him. However, the Tang Dynasty decided to establish a county in the Dragon Teeth Sect, and he might think that all this was caused by his disappearance. If he had appeared in time, perhaps the Tang Dynasty would not have established a county in the Dragon Teeth Sect out of consideration for his feelings, or feelings, he would not have been able to establish a county in the Dragon Teeth Sect. Otherwise, it would have been good news for him................. However, the Tang Dynasty's decision.....................
. "Big Brother, since the imperial court has decided to establish a county in the Dragon Teeth Sect, the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect is a little redundant. In this case, why do we need to see him?
Just kill him, "Li Feiyu said.
Obviously, the establishment of a county in the Dragon Teeth Sect had become a matter of certainty. The sudden appearance of the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect might complicate the situation. Directly executing him in secret might be the best way.
Ang Lee waved his hand and said, "No, we still have to meet him. Our Tang Dynasty is the founder of civilization. How can we keep people a thousand miles away? Let him in! "
Soon, an old man in plain clothes walked into Ang Lee's tent and bent down to salute Ang Lee. His attitude was extremely humble.
Ang Lee took a closer look and found that the old man's face was a little haggard, and his clothes were ordinary people's clothes. It was impossible to tell that this man used to be the ruler of a country and did not have the posture of an emperor at all.
"You said that you are the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect. What evidence do you have?"
Li Feiyu asked sternly.
"I'm really the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect. This can't be wrong. Many people in the kingdom know me. Let them come and identify me."
The old man said softly.
"The King of a country? Why do you look so embarrassed? You look like a beggar. Hahaha! "
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Yes! Big Brother, this man looks like a beggar no matter how you look at him. How can he say that he is the King? He is really shameless! "
Li Feiyu said with a smile.
The old man said anxiously, "Assistant Minister Li, I'm really the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect. Many people can prove it. I also know Black Wolf. He is my son-in-law and is now working for Assistant Minister Li. He is the aide of Assistant Minister Li. Assistant Minister Li can ask him for confirmation."
After saying that, he looked at Ang Lee expectantly.
Ang Lee smiled and looked at Li Feiyu. He said softly, "Maybe he is really the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect. Since he is so sure, there is no need to ask for confirmation. Come, let's do it!"
Ang Lee couldn't be too unreasonable when dealing with the former King of a country. Even if a commoner came to see him, he had to give him a seat at his age.
"Thank you, Assistant Minister Li."
The old man thanked him gratefully and sat down gently.
"Come, serve the tea."
Ang Lee ordered kindly.
Since such a young and abject king was requesting an audience, Li An had to give him enough face. After all, he already had a plan in his heart. If he was too harsh on this king, he would feel bad in his heart.
"Thank you, thank you."
The old man seemed to be really thirsty. He picked up the tea and drank without hesitation.
Ang Lee couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with the former King of the Dragon Teeth Sect. He asked directly, "On the day when I destroyed the Black Wolf, I sent a troop of soldiers to the Dragon Teeth Sect. However, the soldiers told me that the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect was missing. At that time, I thought you were killed by the pirates. What happened? Can you tell me? "
It was obvious that Ang Lee needed to understand the ins and outs of the matter. Only then could he have a better conversation with the old man.
The old man recounted his encounter with great exaggeration. It was hard to tell whether it was true or not. The gist of it was that the palace was in chaos at that time and he did not understand what was going on. When he saw many people fleeing the palace, he followed them and hid in a remote village for two months. He only dared to come out after things were cleared up. As soon as he came out, he came to Malacca and requested to see Li An.
After listening, Ang Lee smiled. The answer was quite similar to what he had guessed. It showed that Ang Lee's guess was quite accurate.
"Oh, so that's what happened! It seems that you were really frightened, haha! "
Ang Lee said politely.
"It's okay, it's okay. I was just a little frightened. It's really satisfying to see the pirates annihilated! From now on, the people of my Dragon Teeth Sect will no longer have to worry about being robbed by pirates. It's a good thing, a good thing! "
The old man said happily.
This sentence expressed the old man's excitement, but also his inner thoughts. What did he mean by "my Dragon Teeth Sect"? It showed that in his heart, the Dragon Teeth Sect was still his kingdom, not a county of the Tang dynasty. Obviously, he still had the intention to continue to be the King.
As an official of the Tang dynasty, Ang Lee must stand on the side of the imperial court of the Tang dynasty. Naturally, he couldn't tolerate the attempt of the former King of the Dragon Teeth Sect to rebuild the Dragon Teeth Sect. This was the result of the Tang Empire's hard work. How could he give it back to the King of the Dragon Teeth Sect?
"The people of the Dragon Teeth Sect? Now the Dragon Teeth Sect no longer exists. Where are the people of the Dragon Teeth Sect? There are only the people of the Tang dynasty here. In the future, all the former people of the Dragon Teeth Sect will be the people of the Tang dynasty. You are no longer the King, but an ordinary person of the Tang dynasty. Do you understand? "
Ang Lee said sternly.
The former King of the Dragon Teeth Sect was stunned for a moment. His eyes were full of disappointment. After a pause, he said with a crying voice, "Assistant Minister Li, why is this? The Tang Empire rules the world with benevolence and justice. The Dragon Teeth Sect has always been my kingdom. Our ancestors have ruled it for hundreds of years. How can the Tang dynasty occupy it at will? "
After that, he cried sadly, like a child who had lost a family member.
Ang Lee was in a bad mood. He said angrily, "What are you talking about? Your Dragon Teeth Sect has long ceased to exist. Last year, the Black Wolf had already occupied the Dragon Teeth Sect. The Dragon Teeth Sect became the Black Wolf's nest. You are just a puppet. The Black Wolf destroyed the Dragon Teeth Sect, and we destroyed the Black Wolf. This territory should naturally belong to the Tang dynasty."
After that, he looked unhappy.
"Puppet? Assistant Minister Li, I don't care whether I am a puppet or not. As long as I can be a king, I am willing to be a puppet of the Tang dynasty again. Let me be a puppet of the Tang dynasty! "
The old man pleaded.
Obviously, once he became an ordinary person, he would have to work for his own livelihood. However, he had been a king all his life. It was too difficult for him to make a living on his own. Therefore, he would rather give up everything to be a puppet. He just wanted to live a comfortable life.
This was the real-life Liu Shan! As long as he could live a comfortable life, it didn't matter what he did or what his identity was. Life was just a journey. If he couldn't live a comfortable life, what was the meaning of life?
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Puppet? You still want to be a puppet. You are really ambitious! When the Dragon Teeth Sect was occupied by pirates, you should have died to atone for your sins. Only in this way can you be worthy of your ancestors. But you chose to surrender and let all your soldiers surrender to the pirates. Are you worthy of your ancestors? "
"The pirates are too powerful. I did this to save the lives of the soldiers and the people."
The old man said.
Li An said, "But you've already become a puppet of the pirates. In fact, you're helping the pirates do evil. Your crime is very serious, so serious that this official can behead you at any time. Yet, you still want to continue being king."
After that, he glared at the puppet king.
When the old man heard that Ang Lee wanted to kill him, he was so scared that he trembled all over. He hurriedly said, "Assistant Minister Li, I am just a puppet. I haven't done anything bad. Even Black Wolf, who is full of evil, has become your aide. But I have committed a capital crime. How can this be justified?"
Obviously, he felt that he was just a puppet, and Black Wolf and other pirates were the heinous villains. But now, all the villains had become aides, and he, who had not really done anything bad, was going to be executed. He could not figure it out no matter what.
Ang Lee said seriously, "Since you can't figure it out, then let me tell you. Although Black Wolf and others are heinous, they have made a lot of contributions to the Tang dynasty after they surrendered. Moreover, they are still making contributions. Who do you think deserves the credit of so many pirates who surrendered? It's Black Wolf and others. After Black Wolf and others surrendered, they have been trying to persuade their subordinates to surrender. Where are you? What contribution did you make this time? "
Li Feiyu then explained, "It's too mysterious. I'm afraid you don't understand. My Big Brother's meaning is very clear. Black Wolf and others still have a place to use their abilities. They can be used to persuade and appease the pirates, so they can't be killed. But what's the use of you? Your cowardice and weakness have long made your people dissatisfied. When the people heard that the Dragon's Tooth Sect was going to become a county of the Tang dynasty, they were so happy that they spread the news. They couldn't wait to become the people of the Tang dynasty immediately. This is enough to show that you have failed as a king. It's useless to keep you alive. Do you understand? "
"I won't be a king. Assistant Minister Li, please have mercy on me. Don't kill me."
The old man's intestines were green with regret. He had come here excitedly. Originally, he had thought that he could continue to be the king. He did not expect that not only would he not be able to be the king, but he would also lose his life. It really made him sad.
Ang Lee didn't like to kill people so much. He nodded and said, "Well, I won't kill you because you didn't directly participate in doing bad things. Be a good ordinary person! Don't expect to continue to be a king. You don't deserve it. Do you understand? "
"Yes, yes, yes. I understand. Goodbye."
The old man left immediately. He didn't dare to stay here. He couldn't wait to fly away.
However, he was very old. It was easier said than done to support himself as an ordinary person. The people who flattered him before had long disappeared without a trace. Who else could he count on to support him? How could he bear to be a beggar like this? He had already spent all the gold and silver jewelry he took from the palace. If there was no one to support him now, he could only live by begging.
The old man didn't know where to go. In the poor Nanyang region, it wasn't easy to beg anywhere. It wasn't easy to be looked down upon every day.
"My good son-in-law, my good son-in-law! My good son-in-law. "
The old man suddenly thought of Black Wolf. Now that Black Wolf was Ang Lee's aide, he should be rich. At least, he should be able to support him. He knew that Black Wolf was in Malacca, so he shamelessly went to look for him.
"Sigh! No matter what, he used to be the king of a country. I didn't expect him to be in such dire straits. Heaven is playing with people! "
Li Feiyu shook his head and sighed.
Ang Lee followed him out of the tent. Looking at the old man's back, he sighed, "Heaven is playing with people. Who asked him to be so useless? Why does the Tang dynasty need to support a useless person? Do you think Black Wolf will accept him? "
Li Feiyu shook his head and said, "Probably not. This old man is nothing now. Black Wolf is not a kind person. Why would he support a useless person?"
Ang Lee knew Black Wolf's character very well. This hateful guy was very bad. He was good at doing bad things, but it was not easy to ask him to do good things.
"In that case, he can only choose to be a beggar in the future. Poor man."
Li Feiyu shook his head. He felt that this former king was too pitiful.
