Chapter 1169: Capturing Kang Xiao Alive

Hearing that porridge was being distributed in front, the beggars in the dilapidated temple had bright eyes, holding their broken bowls, and rushed to the porridge shed like a swarm of bees.

Kang Xiao was ragged and dishevelled, mixed in with the beggars.

All the beggars went to get porridge, and if he didn't go, it would be too conspicuous.

How could a beggar not be tempted when encountering porridge distribution?

So, he followed the army of beggars to the porridge shed.

"Line up, everyone, line up. If anyone dares to make trouble, don't blame me for not recognizing people with my knife..."

A sturdy soldier pressed the handle of the knife on his waist with one hand and shouted loudly.

People who are extremely hungry sometimes do a lot of extraordinary things, so at this time, you can't be polite to them, someone has to intimidate them.

Looking at the ferocious soldiers, the beggars lined up obediently and went forward one by one to get porridge.

Finally it was Kang Xiao's turn.

The porridge soldier rudely put a spoonful of porridge into Kang Luo's broken bowl and waved his hand impatiently, "Next!"

Kang Xiao hurriedly walked away with the bowl.

When he came to the side, Kang Xiao looked at the white porridge in the bowl and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

These days, he has been living with beggars and has lived a miserable life.

Seeing other beggars holding porridge bowls and drinking so fragrantly, he couldn't help it...especially a few beggars who had finished drinking, staring at the porridge bowl in his hand.

Kang Xiao quickly picked up the bowl and drank it in big gulps.

Beggars also pay attention to the law of the jungle, and young and strong beggars often snatch the food begged by young or old beggars.

Kang Xiao didn't care about the heat and finished the porridge in the bowl in one breath.

As the prince of Nanyue and the ruler of the World Association, he has always been rich and well-dressed, and has always looked down on this kind of white porridge...But now, he thinks this bowl of white porridge is a delicacy in the world, extremely sweet.

After drinking the porridge, I felt warm all over, dizzy, and a little sleepy.

Kang Xiao's eyes suddenly narrowed. Oh no, there is something wrong with this porridge.

He found the problem, but he was no longer able to solve it. He rolled his eyes and fell down softly.

......

On the other side, Ning Chen had brought people back to the City Lord's Mansion.

After returning, he did not see Zhang Tianlun immediately, but asked someone to prepare hot water for him to take a bath.

Not only him, Feng Qizhen and others also went to take a bath.

The place where Zhang Tianlun was caught was too smelly, and they felt that they were almost pickled.

Ning Chen took a beautiful bath and changed into clean clothes under Xiao Yanxi's service, and then planned to see Zhang Tianlun.

"Xiao Xixi, the imperial seal must be kept well."

Xiao Yanxi nodded and hummed.

Ning Chen came to the hall and asked someone to bring Zhang Tianlun.

Zhang Tianlun, wearing handcuffs and shackles, was brought to the hall.

This hall, once his throne room, is now his prison.

"Kneel down!"

Two Ning'an soldiers pressed Zhang Tianlun to kneel in front of Ning Chen.

Zhang Tianlun struggled to stand up, but he was no match for the two Ning'an soldiers. He said angrily, "Even if I become a prisoner, I am still the emperor. You cannot humiliate me."

Ning Chen waved his hand, "Let him go."

The two soldiers let go of Zhang Tianlun.

Zhang Tianlun stood up, stared at Ning Chen, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "I lost to you again."

Ning Chen pulled the corner of his mouth, "You have failed my father, failed Huai'an, and failed my trust in you... No one will save you this time."

Zhang Tianlun sneered, "Ning Chen, I did fail my father and Huai'an... But I don't owe you anything."

Ning Chen looked at him and said nothing.

Zhang Tianlun's expression was slightly ferocious, and his voice was sharp, "I did nothing wrong, I just didn't live according to your ideas, I didn't become a puppet in your hands.

Ning Chen, you are just a chicken that flew out of the ravine. It's only because of your good luck that you got the appreciation of the emperor, so you have the power in the court today.

As long as you are alive, whoever becomes the emperor is just a decoration...I don't want to be a chess piece controlled by you, is this wrong?

The emperor of Daxuan is Huai'an now, but the one who really has the final say is you, Ning Chen.

Ning Chen, you pretend to be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and you are really disgusting...In terms of scheming and hypocrisy, no one can compare with you, including the emperor, who has been deceived by you."

Ning Chen looked at the distorted Zhang Tianlun, sighed, and said: "You are right, I can get to where I am today because of good luck...but luck is also strength. part.

There are many talented and capable people in this world... not everyone is as lucky as me to be appreciated by my father.

Zhang Tianlun, I agree with everything you said... but I don't agree with you saying that I deceived my father.

My father has been kind to me. My first full meal and warm clothes since I came to this world were all given by my father... He is a wise king of all ages. He hopes that Daxuan will prosper, so I will make Daxuan prosper.

Whoever makes him uncomfortable, I will make him even more uncomfortable. "

Zhang Tianlun sneered repeatedly, with disdain on his face, and mocked: "Ning Chen, you are so hypocritical... You pretend to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic on the surface, but in fact, you are calculating more than anyone else.

Do you dare to swear to the sky that you don't covet the throne? "

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, "If I coveted the throne, I would not abdicate the throne to Huai'an. "

"Hahaha..." Zhang Tianlun laughed, "Ning Chen, this is your brilliance. On the surface, you pretend to be not greedy for power and work for the country and the people, but in fact, you are calculating more clearly than anyone else.

You will abdicate the throne to Huai'an. When Huai'an gives birth to your child, won't the country still be named Ning in the end?"

Ning Chen looked at him calmly and said word by word: "The child of Huai'an and I will be named Zhang, so... the country will always be named Zhang."

Zhang Tianlun was stunned for a moment, looking at Ning Chen in astonishment. Ning Chen, "Will you let your child take the surname Zhang?"

Ning Chen asked back, "Why not?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..." Zhang Tianlun shook his head, "You are Ning Chen, the regent of Daxuan, the real ruler of Daxuan, how could you let your child take the mother's surname, aren't you afraid that people will laugh at you?"

Ning Chen was stunned, but soon understood... This world attaches great importance to surnames and bloodlines, especially the aristocratic families, who are almost paranoid about surnames and bloodlines... In order to ensure the purity of bloodlines, they do not hesitate to marry close relatives.

He pulled the corner of his mouth and said indifferently: "The birth of a child is more difficult for women... So, I have no objection to the child taking Huai'an's surname. Therefore, Daxuan will always be surnamed Zhang."

Zhang Tianlun's eyes were dull, and he suddenly stared at Ning Chen, "You really have no idea about the throne? Don't you covet this supreme power at all?"

Ning Chen sighed slightly and said: "The emperor's hegemony and the peerless beauty can't escape the fate of being buried in the loess in the end.

If the throne can bring Uncle Chai, General Chen, and those who love me and I love back to life, then I will definitely covet it... Unfortunately, it can't!"
