Chapter 92 Jealousy
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, you can see that I am very smart!" Longkodo immediately said, "As long as Your Highness is willing to let me go, I am willing to be Your Highness's spy in the East Tartars and report the movements of the East Tartars to Your Highness at any time."

The little prince next to him didn't understand Longkodo's foreign language, but he just thought that Longkodo was begging for mercy from the Daliang people in front of him, and just looked at him expectantly.

A flash of desire passed across Wang An's face, but it was only for a moment.

As the saying goes, the sky is high and the sea is vast, allowing birds to fly freely. If Dong Nu really let them go, it would be too foolish to expect them to keep their promise and become traitors for him.

After figuring out the key points, Wang An sneered, "Do you think I will believe you? Do you think I am easy to fool?"

Seeing the murderous look on Wang An's face, Longkodo couldn't help but think of the piles of subordinates who were chopped into pulp. He couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly explained: "I dare not, Your Majesty, please believe me..."

Before Longkodo could say more words to beg for mercy, Wang An interrupted him immediately and said, "That's enough. Now I'm asking you a question. If you can answer honestly, maybe I can spare your life."

Longkodo nodded hurriedly, "Please ask me, Your Majesty. I will tell you everything I know."

Wang An turned his head to look at the little prince beside him and asked, "Who are you two? What is your purpose in coming to Jizhou this time?"

Longkodo did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly revealed the identity of the little prince beside him, and explained that they came to Jizhou to complete the little prince's coming-of-age ceremony.

When they heard that these two Eastern Tartars were coming to Jizhou to hunt civilians and even wanted to attack Baicheng just to complete a so-called coming-of-age ceremony, they

Wang An was suddenly filled with rage and wanted to kill the little prince immediately.

However, this anger was quickly suppressed, and Shenqing became thoughtful.

The man in front of him turned out to be the favorite little prince of the current Donglu Khan. Perhaps saving his life could have unexpected value and effect.

Thinking of this, Wang An said directly to Xu Huang: "Lock these two beasts in the Southern Prison and send people to guard them day and night. Don't let them escape!"

Xu Huang also heard that the other party's identity was not simple, so he did not dare to question it, and immediately took people to suppress Longkodo and the other two.

Longkodo obviously heard Wang An's order and knew that he would not die for the time being, so he did not struggle desperately.

After Longkodo and the other two were taken away, Wang An continued to sit in the lobby of the government office, tapping on the table and thinking about something.

A graceful figure suddenly appeared in the gradually dimming light, slowly walked behind Wang An, revealing Yu Nu's chubby face.

"Does the prince want to use these two people to negotiate terms with the Eastern Tartars, or even make them give up looting our Jizhou?"

"If your Highness has this idea, Yu Nu must persuade him to give up."

Wang An was surprised when he heard this: "Oh, why do you say that? Do you know something?"

Yu Nu shook his head and said, "It's not that Yu Nu knows any inside information, but Yu Nu once went to Donglu to carry out a mission and heard about the Khan of Donglu."

"I heard that Donglu Khan was cruel and bloodthirsty, and was extremely indifferent to family affection. There is even a legend that a prince had an affair with a concubine in the harem, and Donglu Khan found out, so he chopped the prince into meat paste and made meatballs to eat."

Wang An nodded and said, "Whether it's useful or not, it's just a waste of swill, so let's keep it for now."

"If Dongnu Khan really doesn't care about the life and death of his own son, we can kill him in front of the battle and it will also hit their morale." Upon hearing this, Yu Nu said no more.

It was already late at this time, and Wang Anben still wanted to reward people based on their merits, but he could only put it off until the next day.

So he stood up and left the lobby, wanting to go back to the backyard room to continue handling official business. However, when he passed the backyard, he suddenly saw Xiao Zhao standing in the center of the yard.

Wang An took the initiative to greet him, "Xiao Zhao, why don't you go to rest? Were you frightened today?"

Xiao Zhao looked at Wang An tenderly, then bowed and said, "Xiao Zhao thanks you for saving my life, Your Majesty. I also thank you on behalf of my young lady!"

Wang An waved his hands and said, "It's reasonable. Why should I thank you?"

Xiao Zhao lowered her head, suddenly picked up a food box, and said, "Your Highness should not have eaten yet. This is the food that Xiao Zhao made by herself. If Your Highness does not mind, please have a taste."

If Xiao Zhao hadn't said it, Wang An wouldn't have noticed it, but when he smelled the aroma of the food, his stomach suddenly made some noises.

Xiao Zhao raised her lips and immediately walked towards Wang An's room, saying, "Xiao Zhao will serve it to the prince."

The two of them entered the room one after the other, but they didn't notice at all that behind the main door, a pair of big round eyes were watching their every move through the crack of the door.

Cao Yunmeng stamped his feet fiercely and cursed, "You are such a good man, Wang An. Your wife was so frightened, but you didn't even come to comfort her."

"And you, Xiao Zhao, you're delivering wine and food to others in the middle of the night. I think you want to send yourself out too!"

When Cao Yunmeng said this, he had completely forgotten what he once told Xiao Zhao, that he and Wang An were just pretending to be husband and wife, and let Xiao Zhao do whatever she wanted.

When Wang An walked into the room, there were already three or four side dishes and a pot of wine on the round table in the middle of the room.

It seemed to have just come out of the oven, and was still emitting a slight steam in the dim candlelight.

Wang An's appetite suddenly grew. He immediately picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the dish and put it into his mouth. The dish melted in his mouth and its fragrance filled the air.

Wang An couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "I didn't expect that Xiao Zhao is not only a martial arts expert, but also a top-notch cook. It would be a blessing for anyone to marry you."

Wang An made a few half-seriously polite remarks, but Xiao Zhao blushed when she heard them. Fortunately, the candlelight was dim in ancient times, so Wang An couldn't tell without looking closely.

Xiao Zhao happily poured wine for Wang An, and attentively served the dishes to Wang An, saying, "If Your Majesty likes it, Xiao Zhao will cook for you every day in the future!"

Wang An agreed immediately and said happily, "That's great, but will it take up too much of your time and cause you to be blamed by Cao Yunmeng?"

Xiao Zhao's mind suddenly flashed back to what Cao Yunmeng said to her before she went on the trip, stating that her relationship with Wang An was only in name only, and that they would go their separate ways as soon as the three years were up.

And let Xiao Zhao bravely pursue what she likes. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhao's pretty face became even more rosy, and she answered without hesitation: "In fact, the young lady is very reasonable, I believe she won't mind."
