I should marry the traitor

Chapter 151 Woof woof woof

The water was so deep that Aunt Tao felt like she was about to drown. Even in such deep water, she was still at the center of the whirlpool.

The intention of this Emperor Fuyi is already very clear. He went to Xuzhou secretly to do something for himself and he couldn't run away at all.

This matter must be related to the newly-born imperial seal. In addition, Your Majesty had obviously arrived in Xuzhou early in the morning, otherwise it would be impossible for the imperial seal to come to you right after it was born.

In other words, Your Majesty was not only not controlled by the two Jiedushi, but also had long anticipated that the Imperial Seal would be unveiled in Xuzhou, so he made preparations in advance?
Damn it, she is just an acrobat and the Tao family is not a super prestigious family. Is she really allowed to get involved in such a horrific thing?

I can't move away if I want to, and I can't escape if I want to.

Aunt Tao wanted to wag her tail and act stupid, trying to get away with it, but it seemed that His Majesty had no intention of letting her go.

"When the jade seal appears, Xuzhou will be in great trouble."

"As the governor of a state, Lord Tao should guard Xuzhou and protect the imperial seal."

"But Lord Tao is actually afraid before the battle even begins, and he wants to abandon an entire state."

"Isn't this a huge sin?"

Li Changge talked eloquently, and Tao Tao's legs trembled as she listened.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to do that either."

"But I am a humble official with little power."

"I am the weakest among 80% of the mixed-bloods. How can I stop them?"

Looking at Tao Tao's sad face, although Li Changge knew that at least 50% of it was fake, she was really cute.

There's a kind of silly and cute dementia look to it, which is really - different.

You have to know that although the personalities of mixed-race people are different, generally speaking, they are all ruthless people like Dong Bai and An Xinlin.

Even someone like Li Hexian, who was well-behaved and gentle in front of Li Changge and looked like a lady from a noble family, was actually a ruthless character who killed people without blinking an eye in the military camp.

But Tao Tao is different. She is a rare, silly and cute mixed-race type. Her silly look is really funny.

Among the mixed breeds, Tao Tao looks like a husky mixed in with a pack of ferocious wolves.

"Don't panic." Aunt Tao, who was kicked away, had crawled back and knelt in front of Li Changge. He smiled and touched Aunt Tao's head and said, "I'm here, aren't I?"

"It's useless for you to come." Aunt Tao said seriously: "Although Your Majesty is indeed a genius, Your Majesty still has a lot of room for growth now."

Low EQ: Your Majesty, you are also a loser.

Gao Qing said: There is huge room for growth.

Indeed, among the acquired warriors, Li Changge is also a very weak one, just slightly stronger than Tao Tao. In Xuzhou, which is about to become a high-end combat force meat grinder, he is really not good enough.

"Since I am here, I will definitely find a solution. All I need to ask is whether Lord Tao is loyal to me."

"The heaven and earth are witnesses to my loyalty, and the sun and the moon can bear witness to it!"

"That's not what I'm talking about. Lord Tao should understand."

Tao Tao's eyes rolled rapidly. Theoretically, all the ministers of Daqian should be loyal, but this was obviously not what Li Changge meant.

The loyal ministers that Emperor Fuyi mentioned obviously had to maintain the same level as Li Changge in political stance.

To put it simply, what Your Majesty wants is not loyal ministers, but treacherous ministers who are only interested in pleasing Your Majesty.

In a sense, in the officialdom, the positions of most ministers and the monarch should be opposite. To stand completely on Li Changge's side means to oppose most of the court officials.

This is a choice, and choosing a monarch will naturally put you in opposition to your colleagues.

Although theoretically it seems that the monarch has a natural comparative advantage in this political game, it is not absolute.

After all, there is no shortage of powerful ministers in history who have deposed and enthroned emperors. When one's power surpasses that of the emperor, it would be foolish to still stand against the emperor.

For example, if Li Changge followed the main plot and left the palace, then his younger brother Li Tianzhu who stayed in the palace would be a real puppet emperor, and would have nothing to do with the word strong.

Theoretically speaking, Tao Tao's path in officialdom is completely different from that of traditional officials, and continuing to be a treacherous minister favored by the emperor is actually an excellent choice.

Before today, Li Changge gave Tao Tao the impression of being a puppet emperor controlled by Dong Bai.

Although the acquired cultivation displayed by Li Changge today made Tao Tao realize that there might be another story behind this matter, the situation in her mind where the master was weak and the ministers were strong did not change for the time being.

Although it is unclear why Dong Bai would leave a genius emperor alone, Dong Bai is, after all, a half-demon with 90% blood, his strength is far above Li Changge, and he also has 100,000 Xiliang cavalry under his command.

No matter from which perspective, the Daqian court is still a situation where the ruler is weak and the ministers are strong. This will not change just because Li Changge is an acquired warrior. If you rush to choose a side during this period...

Looking at Tao Tao who was still hesitant, Li Changge smiled slightly. It was normal for Tao Tao to hesitate, but since he had come here, what he said was not a choice but a necessity.

"I probably know that Lord Tao is hesitating. This is normal."

"But it doesn't matter. What I want to tell you is that no one knows the secret of my promotion to the next day."

"Qing Tao is the first one."

"Are you touched?"

I dare not move, I dare not move. How could I dare to move a single feather? Doesn't that mean that if I don't agree, I will probably die suddenly as soon as my left foot steps out of the house?

"How can I be so worthy of your Majesty's trust?"

“I’m touched.”

"I am deeply moved."

"Have you chosen yet?"

"I am willing to serve your majesty and serve you like a dog or a horse."

"Very good, very good."

Li Changge suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. It wasn't easy. The game had been going on for so long, and this was the first time.

After all, the NPCs that were conquered before mainly relied on the power of the second brother, who mainly relied on his lower body to act.

This time, he did not use his second brother from beginning to end, but relied on his strength to make Tao Tao surrender. This is the first time for Li Changge, and it is really cause for celebration.

"You won't feel wronged, Mr. Tao?"

"How can I feel wronged when I work for His Majesty?"

"Really not?"

"Not at all!"

Tao Tao replied with gritted teeth, "Even if I feel wronged, I can't speak out. Since I have decided to join His Majesty early, I might as well invest some original shares while His Majesty is still weak."

Lord Tao's thinking is very simple. After all, His Majesty is still relatively weak. Even if there are ministers who surrender to him, they are probably not too strong. He is in dire need of manpower at this time.

In other words, although he was very weak under Emperor Qianling, the new emperor's subordinates were real and useful people.

Tao Tao is a mixed-race after all. Although she is rubbish above her acquired abilities, she is invincible below her acquired abilities!
Of course, if she knew that she was now the most worthless one among the ministers under Li Changge’s control, I wonder what her expression would be.

"Really? That's good. I also have something to tell you."

"Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?"

"Not really. I just told you that I went to Danyang before coming here."

"Danyang...Danyang????" Tao Tao's expression changed suddenly. Danyang is a very special place.

Danyang County was called Yunyang County during the time of Emperor Qin Shihuang. Later, after several changes, it was renamed Danyang County.

When Taizu of Daqian fought wars in the south and the north and founded Daqian, he had a strongest enemy and opponent, who was called the Overlord.

The most elite soldiers under the Overlord came from Danyang.

The saying that the best soldiers in the world come from Danyang is certainly exaggerated, but the bravery of the Danyang soldiers is indeed terrifying to the enemy.

A book says: Danyang is a place with dangerous mountains and strong people. They like martial arts and war, have noble spirit and strength, and are a place of elite soldiers.

These are all praises for the Danyang soldiers, as well as Tao Tao's background, and the reason why Li Changge chose to subdue Tao Tao.

In simple terms, he was not greedy for Tao Tao's body, but for Tao Tao's soldiers.

"Your Majesty, you should know that this is my hometown, right? What are you going there for?"

Tao Tao asked tremblingly, with a hint of fear in her words.

Tao Tao was born in the Tao family of Danyang. Danyang County is naturally the Tao family's base. If something goes wrong in Danyang, it will be the end of the family.

After all, although the Tao family is also a noble family, they are not like the Yuan family, which has three generations of officials in four generations. They have clan lands in the east, west, south, and north. If the clan land in Danyang is destroyed, then the Tao family will be really finished.

Although the emotions of mixed-bloods are always colder than those of ordinary people, perhaps because of the blood ties, mixed-bloods born into aristocratic families still care more about their families. Just like Yuan Shao, she also regards the revitalization of the Yuan family as her own responsibility.

"Do I look that dangerous?"

Aren't you dangerous? You just threatened me that if I didn't surrender to you, I would die.

There must be a reason why Tao Tao gave in so quickly.

You must know that since Li Changge was not killed by Dong Bai, it means that he must have some means to check and balance Dong Bai. No matter what this means is, since it can check and balance the innate combat power, then killing Tao Tao will be no problem.

Now that I know His Majesty's greatest secret, I can only choose between surrendering and dying.

"Your Majesty is kind and generous, so there is no danger. I am just worried that someone in my family might offend Your Majesty."

"Don't worry, I didn't touch the Tao family. I just went to Danyang to make some arrangements in advance."

"It's a relief that no one bumped into your majesty."

"But I haven't been in a good mood recently."

"I am willing to warm your majesty's bed with my humble appearance."

"This dog has a nice idea."

"Wang Wang!"

"Don't bark like a dog, Auntie. I'll give you this kind of reward when you make great contributions."

How could this bastard man, who looks pretty good, speak so rudely? Tao Tao secretly complained in her heart, but her expression remained flattering.

"If your majesty has nothing to do..."

"Your Majesty, I have something for you to do."

"What about the instructions you said you would give me?"

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty, why do you need to give me orders? I will do my best to do it."

Just like a vicious leader, Li Changge finally showed a satisfied smile. This was the biggest reason why he chose Tao Tao. In addition to Tao Tao's extremely poor fighting skills, knowing the current situation was also a very important part.

"I want you to lead your elite troops to besiege Danyang."

"Ah? Why?"

"I need to take control of Danyang next."

"If that's all, there's no need. My family has some influence in Danyang, so it should be very convenient for Your Majesty to get things done."

Tao Tao is a little too modest. The Tao family has been doing business in Danyang for a long time, and Tao Tao has also been the governor of Xuzhou for many years.

Even if he was a governor who was giving up, he was still a governor, the real top leader of Xuzhou, and his family was still the local tyrants in Xuzhou. It could be said that in Danyang, their base camp, the Tao family was the local emperor who had the final say.

Li Changge smiled without saying anything, just looked at Tao Tao quietly, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Tao Tao was not a fool. She quickly read some information from Li Changge's strange eyes, information about Danyang County.

"The Jade Seal was born in Danyang!!!!!!!!!"

Tao Tao suddenly reacted and saw the pity in Li Changge's eyes. The jade seal was born here, which meant that Danyang would inevitably become a battlefield for various powerful people.

You have to know that Tao Tao, as the head of the Tao family, is just an 80% mixed-blood. Once Danyang becomes a battlefield, what will happen to the Cao family, which is the first to be hit?

You have to know that although Tao Tao is the governor of Xuzhou, who would care about her, a mere governor, when there are top mixed-bloods like Dong Bai and An Xinlin?

Li Changge touched the golden hair on Aunt Tao's head and her furry ears and kindly reminded her.

"Are you still in the mood to worry about the Tao family?"

"People from all walks of life are on their way to Xuzhou. I am the fastest because I set out the earliest."

"Even I can control Lord Tao. Lord Tao doesn't think that his people are good people, right?"

"If you don't have elite soldiers to protect you, do you think your safety can be guaranteed, Lord Tao?"

This is not Li Changge exaggerating. After all, compared to some dangerous people, Li Changge is at least at the level where he can communicate.

If An Xinlin was here, if there was a careless communication, he could kill Tao Tao on the spot and then take over Xuzhou. This would be an option for the daring An Xinlin.

"Since it is your majesty's order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"That's a nice word."

"I will order my army to surround Danyang, but..."

"Don't worry, I won't let you clash with those people. If they want to grab the imperial seal, let them do it."

"What about the Tao family?"

"If you want them to run, then run quickly. I don't need them to."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tao Tao felt relieved. As long as the attitude was not to use her or the Tao family as cannon fodder, everything else would be easy to deal with.

But Tao Tao was still a little curious: "Your Majesty is not interested in the jade seal?"

"Of course I am interested. Who wouldn't be interested in the Imperial Seal?"

"That……"

"Compared to the imperial seal, the dog-eat-dog scene is more interesting. Let them bite each other slowly first."
