Chen Nan stood aside and observed for half an hour before planting more than ten plants. This made him frown slightly, got off his horse, and walked to the two old men.
"Husband, can I ask a question?"
"Sir, please speak." The farmer looked up and saw that Chen Nan was wearing gorgeous clothes and had an extraordinary bearing. He looked like he was not an ordinary person, so he quickly bowed and saluted.
"Husband, why are you and your grandma farming here? Is there no one else farming?"
"Sir, you may not know that this is Mr. Zeng's land. Since the last drought, the rent has not been paid, so Mr. Zeng asked us not to farm anymore."
"Old man, is the Master Zeng you are talking about Zeng Yong?" When Chen Nan heard about Master Zeng, he immediately thought of Zeng Yong.
"Sir, don't call Master Zeng by his name, or you will be beheaded."
"Heh, that's quite a tone."
"My lord, what are you talking about?"
"It's okay. Is your rent enough?" Chen Nan was very confused. According to their thinking, with their current living standards, they might not be able to support themselves.
"We don't even have enough food to grow ourselves. Where can we have extra food to pay the rent? We have already thought about it. Even if Mr. Zeng kills us, we will still guard this land."
"My husband, don't worry. No one will kill you. You go back with grandma and let the people in the village farm. I...I want this land. I don't have to pay rent for three years."
"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"
"That's natural, keep your word."
"Sir, you are a good man. I salute you." The father-in-law and his grandmother knelt down at the same time and kowtowed to Chen Nan. Chen Nan quickly helped them up and handed him a lot of coins.
"Old Yun, our Liang family's farming methods are all like this?" After saying goodbye to the second elder, Chen Nan frowned.
"Yes."
"I understand." Chen Nan said nothing more. Mr. Yun didn't know anything about farming, and it was useless to discuss it with him. Along the way, he had been thinking of ways to grow crops, but he never spoke, especially Mr. Yun.
"Whoosh."
"Your Majesty, please be safe."
At this moment, a sound broke through the air. Mr. Yun's face darkened, and he pulled him off his horse. An arrow flew past him and killed his horse.
"Come on." A cry of death suddenly rang out from both sides of the street, and a group of men in black wearing black scarves and masks rushed towards this side quickly.
"Guard you." Boss Yun shouted, and several black figures suddenly appeared around him, fighting with the killer in black.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow guards killed more than a dozen black-clothed killers, but there were more than a hundred of those black-clothed killers. No matter how high their martial arts skills were, they would not be able to kill them all in such a short period of time.
"Let's go, Your Majesty." Mr. Yun took out a signal arrow and led Chen Nan on horseback, heading straight to the palace. Chen Nan did not refuse. After all, they were all coming for him. If he was alone If you leave, that's it.
"Whizzing!"
The two of them had fled less than two kilometers when they heard a sharp sound breaking through the air. Mr. Yun quickly helped Chen Nan jump on the horse and fired another arrow.
As soon as the two of them landed, there was another burst of shouting from both sides. Mr. Yun suddenly broke into a cold sweat. The other party was obviously prepared.
He was originally entangled by a group of men in black, but now there are more than a hundred killers in black. It is difficult for him alone to protect the emperor. Mr. Yun has long been prepared to die.
"Mr. Yun, help me get a sword." Chen Nan was also furious and was ready to fight to the death.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. Only if you are safe and sound can I go after those traitors with confidence." Naturally, Mr. Yun would not let Chen Nan put himself in danger and use him as a shield to push him towards the imperial capital.
Chen Nan frowned. He wanted to stay, but he couldn't refuse Mr. Yun's kindness, so he had to fly towards the imperial capital alone.
"You can't escape." As he was about to reach the imperial capital, a cold voice sounded, forcing him to stop. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, it was just that there was a knife on his neck.
"Master Tai, why did you do this?" Chen Nan frowned. He recognized this killer in black, the nun he released that night.
"Emperor Dog, no one can help you today." The long sword in the nun's hand advanced further, and the cold blade touched his throat, making the hairs all over his body stand up.
"I am already dying. Can you tell me why you have to put me to death?"
"That's natural. I wonder if you know, Nalan Xiao, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?" The nun's voice was a little heavy, and she slowly said a person's name.
"Nalan Xiao? How did you get involved with Nalan Xiao?" Chen Nan frowned.
"Haha, Nalan Xiao is my father. My father devoted half his life to the Liang Kingdom, and was eventually exterminated. The Dog Emperor alone is not enough to kill you!"
The nun's voice was almost shouting, which showed how angry she was.
"If I told you that I didn't let anyone kill Nalan Xiao, would you believe it?"
"Haha, you didn't kill anyone? No one has the power, and no one is qualified to kill a third-grade official. Haha, it turns out that the emperor is also a greedy person who dares to risk his own life."
The nun seemed a little crazy. Perhaps the joy of getting revenge had gone to his head. He took a step back, fearing that the nun would take action against him.
After confirming that the nun would not kill him immediately, Chen Nan felt relieved and said seriously: "I can tell you responsibly that I did not order Nalan Xiao to be killed."
"One more thing, I want to tell you that since I ascended the throne, the government has been in the hands of Prime Minister Zeng Sihai, and I have only recently taken back some of my power from him."
"That's nonsense. How could you, the majestic king of a country, surrender to me?" She looked disbelieving, feeling that Chen Nan was deceiving her.
"Taoist nun, you still don't understand the dispute between the king and his ministers, but if you kill me today, it will only be in the hands of that treacherous minister Zeng Sihai, and we, the people of Liang Kingdom, will still live a miserable life."
As he spoke, he stepped out. The nun was startled and instinctively took a step back to avoid being pierced through the throat.
Chen Nan's expression did not change, and he felt much more relaxed. Although what he said was somewhat credible, it did not mean that he was really fine.
The nun's face turned cold. She was angry because of her hesitation. She was afraid that if she continued like this, she would not be able to make a move, so she bit her lip and was about to end his life.
"You are so brave!" At this moment, a loud shout sounded from a distance, and the nun was startled. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she flashed towards Lan Yuan.
"Damn Emperor, you are lying!" The nun realized that she had been tricked, and became furious and chased Lan Yuan desperately. Fortunately, Chen Nan had already joined Xiao Tian and others at this time.
