Chapter 339 Assassination
In the territory of Chenla.

The Tang army's offensive continues.

Although Zhenla's territory was not large, the Chidao and Guandao were much simpler than those of the Tang Dynasty, so the journey of the Tang Dynasty's troops was also very time-consuming.

And in the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom.

With Princess Du Qiong of Nanzhao here, the speed of the march and the speed of the conquest are accelerating. Three months later, most of Nanzhao's territory has been returned, and even the capital of Nanzhao has been controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

Inside the palace.

Li Zheng came to the main hall.

Du Qiong was also wearing the robe of a princess from the Nanzhao royal family, looking very luxurious and beautiful.

Especially after becoming a real woman, she carries a charm with her.

"Lang Jun."

When he saw Li Zheng arriving, Du Qiong also had a smile on his face.

"How is the situation?" Li Zheng stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"It's going very well."

"I have rescued all the troops captured by Zhenla in Nanzhao, and I have also dealt with those officials who colluded with the Zhao family."

"of course."

"General Hou Junji also helped a lot." Du Qiong replied with a smile.

Now that he can return to his hometown and deal with his enemies one by one, Du Qiong feels very happy.

"Only the remnants of Nanzhao's capital are left. It should be solved within two months." Li Zheng said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, it will definitely be possible."

"The remaining territories were originally against my father, and it just so happened that they were resolved together this time." Du Qiong said.

"rest assured."

"This time, in addition to Nanzhao's original army, there are also hundreds of thousands of troops from the Tang Dynasty. Those rebels can be suppressed." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"It's enough to have a husband."

"Anyway, I will help Lang Jun complete this great achievement." Du Qiong raised his head and looked at her with tender eyes.

"When the two countries are completely peaceful, I will take you back to Datang." Li Zheng smiled.

At this time.

Du Qiong suddenly became serious and looked at the other people in the hall.

"Lang Jun, let the others go out first." Du Qiong said.

Seeing Du Qiong like this, Li Zheng nodded and waved his hand.

Zhao Ming and Wu Yuanlong all walked out of the Nanzhao Palace Hall and closed the palace doors.

See that there are no outsiders.

Du Qiong walked in front of Li Zheng and said gently: "Lang Jun, do you want to be the king?"

"What do you mean?" Li Zheng was stunned.

"If your husband wants to be a king, I will give you my full support."

"I can help Lang Jun control everything in Nanzhao."

"Although Lang Jun is a very popular minister in the Tang Dynasty and has won the trust of the emperor, in the face of the imperial power, any trust is empty talk. If the emperor doesn't trust you one day."

"Everything you have is gone."

"But now there is a chance to change. As long as you want to be the king, Mr. Lang, I can give you everything in Nanzhao to help you."

"Nanzhao still has an army of 100,000 people. These generals are all following my orders. Moreover, I have a treasure house in Nanzhao. My father had already transferred all Nanzhao's money elsewhere to prepare for a rainy day."

"These can all be the basis for Lang Jun to become king." Du Qiong said in a low voice.

If it were anyone else.

Perhaps under the temptation of Cheng Wang, he will eventually fall in and cannot help but do it.

But Li Zheng hasn't figured out his identity yet.

He should be the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, maybe even the prince. If he is, according to Li Shimin's attitude, he is very likely to take over in the future, then the entire Tang Dynasty will be his.

Therefore, Li Zheng cannot do this until he recovers the memory of his predecessor's childhood.

"Imperial power is not scary."

Li Zheng smiled and said directly to Du Qiong.

"Lang Jun."

"I am not asking the husband to rebel, but giving him a chance to choose. Everything depends on the husband's own choice."

"I will not interfere," Du Qiong said.

"Don't mention this matter again for now."

"But for Nanzhao's army, you have to put trustworthy people in it. Soon it will be mixed and scattered. It is best to only listen to you and me."

"We will talk about everything after I return to the Tang Dynasty." Li Zheng said seriously.

"Ah."

Du Qiong nodded and said no more.

But she can tell that her husband doesn't seem to be content with the status quo and has some thoughts in his heart. Now she is the only one left in the entire Nanzhao royal family, and her body has been given to Li Zheng. Naturally, Li Zheng is the most important person.

At this time.

"your Highness."

"General."

"It's time to eat."

A servant's voice sounded outside.

"Lang Jun."

"I had the meals prepared."

"You just came to Nanzhao, so you need to have a good rest." Du Qiong said with a smile.

"it is good."

Li Zheng did not refuse.

Not a moment.

In the side hall of this palace.

One by one, the maids and attendants served delicious dishes.

As a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, it was deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty, so even the dishes are not much different, and they all have southern tastes. Although Li Zheng grew up in the north of the Tang Dynasty, he is not that picky about food.

The servants served the rice.

Except for the dishes.

And a big pot of chicken soup.

Power presented a bowl to Li Zheng and Du Qiong respectively.

"Lang Jun."

"This is our Nanzhao's unique chicken soup. It can replenish your health."

"You have to drink well." Du Qiong said gently.

"Then I'm welcome."

Li Zheng smiled, picked up the chicken soup and started drinking it.

Seeing Li Zheng start drinking, Du Qiong also started drinking from a bowl.

Being with Li Zheng seemed to make Du Qiong very happy.

but.

But the moment this bowl of chicken soup hits my stomach.

[Toxin invasion detected. 】The system prompt sounded suddenly.

Hear the sound.

Li Zheng's expression changed.

hastily.

Mobilize your internal strength, raise your hand and hit directly against the chest.

puff.

The chicken soup he swallowed was spit out directly.

"Mr. Lang, what's going on? Why did you vomit the chicken soup?"

Du Qiong looked at Li Zheng with some confusion.

Li Zheng didn't say anything, he raised his hand and knocked over the chicken soup in Du Qiong's hand.

Chicken soup falls to the ground.

Nothing unusual.

This shows how powerful this toxin is.

Du Qiong immediately thought of something, stood up suddenly, and looked at the maids and eunuchs serving beside him.

"Kill Li Zheng."

"Let's go together!"

When the leading maid saw Li Zheng spitting out the chicken soup, her expression changed, and a dagger suddenly emerged from her sleeve.

Except her.

Among the dozen or so maids serving around him, seven or eight more holding daggers suddenly appeared, and all of them were now stabbing Li Zheng.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"court death."

Li Zheng frowned.

Take action directly.

Punch out.

The palace maid in front of her was knocked away by Li Zheng's punch before she even got close to her. She tilted her head and died.
