Beauty and the Bodyguard

The mentality of Liu Ziyu and his wife was pretty good, but the mentality of the other person was about to collapse.

Prince Longbang, as the father of the deposed queen and a prince of a titled kingdom, was naturally implicated and was also imprisoned in a small courtyard.

His treatment is even worse, with only one servant to help him and less daily necessities than Liu Ziyu and his wife!

The dignified prince of the kingdom, the father-in-law of the emperor of the empire, the father of the queen, and the newly promoted king, is now a prisoner!

This contrast is so great that Prince Longbang really cannot accept it!

His heart was full of regret. If he had known this outcome, he would not have come to the imperial capital to seek refuge with Liu Ziyu. He would have continued to collude with the Fire Empire as planned and fall into the arms of the Fire Empire. Wouldn't it be great?

Why bother!

Unfortunately, the current Prince Longbang has become an inconspicuous prisoner.

Not to mention the Fire Empire, the current high-level officials of the Hongshang Empire have quickly forgotten about him.

For example, after successfully seizing the throne, Sima Zhengxin, who was so proud of himself, had already forgotten that there was such a person as Prince Longbang!

At this moment, Sima Zhengxin was extremely comfortable in the palace. At this age, he could actually become the emperor of the empire. He really could die in peace!

"Sima Zhengxin, I have done everything I promised you. Isn't it time for you to fully fulfill your promise?"

Ling Lingfa suddenly appeared in Sima Zhengxin's study room, and naturally sat on a chair on the side: "Your Excellency is busy with things, didn't you forget it?"

The fear in Sima Zhengxin's eyes flashed away, and then he said with a smile on his face: "How could I! How could I have ascended to the throne without the help of my husband? I will keep your kindness in mind! Of course, my matter will not matter. Dare or forget, we have already made arrangements.”

Ling Lingfa had a smile on her face, nodded lightly and said, "Thank you, what about the person you arranged?"

"There are already three hundred people who meet the requirements in the sky prison. Sir, you can take them away at any time if you need them."

Sima Zhengxin was also unambiguous. He took out a gold medal and held it in front of Ling Lingfa: "With this token, no one will ask, and you can mention people directly!"

"Is there only 300 people? In an empire, can there only be 300 people who meet the requirements?"

Ling Lingfa's face darkened, obviously not satisfied with this number: "Before the Shanlian Empire was destroyed, only hundreds of thousands of people died. Now the Hongshang Empire has inherited the entire Shanlian Empire, and only the surrendered soldiers , there are hundreds of millions, and you told me there are only three hundred people?"

"Haha! 'Your Majesty the Emperor,' are you trying to deal with me? Or do you think you can just dismiss me casually with just three hundred people?"

These words were a bit harsh. Sima Zhengxin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly said with a smile: "What the hell, sir, I misunderstood! I just took over the Hongshang Empire and I haven't completely controlled it yet!"

"There are indeed a lot of soldiers left by the Shanlian Empire, but there is no reason, and we can't recruit elites on a large scale, right? Even if we could, it would take time! Besides, it is not that easy to meet the requirements made by sir... …”

Facing Sima Zheng's careless explanation, Ling Lingfa felt a little impatient and waved her hand to interrupt: "Okay, don't talk about these useless things! Just tell me how much time it will take to get what I need." The first batch quantity?”

The agreement between Ling Lingfa and Sima Zhengxin was to provide the first batch of one thousand qualified experimental subjects. If the quantity and quality requirements were not relatively high, Ling Lingfa would not be able to support Sima Zhengxin to control an empire.

It would be too troublesome to do this with just the center's own manpower, so it would be more convenient to support a puppet.

That's why Sima Zhengxin was selected as the emperor. Of course, Lin Yi was also responsible for this, otherwise Ling Lingfa might not be able to like the Sima family.

"Three days... no, sir, please give me another five days. I will definitely be able to get the amount you requested."

Sima Zhengxin gritted his teeth, gave a deadline that he thought was appropriate, and then carefully waited for Ling Lingfa's reaction.

Ling Lingfa snorted: "Okay, I'll give you another five days! I will pick up the three hundred people first. I hope that after five days, you can fulfill your promise!"

As for whether Sima Zhengxin would directly draw manpower from the imperial capital's garrison or send people to the private sector to search for suitable candidates, Ling Lingfa didn't care.

As long as the goal is achieved, whether the Hongshang Empire will perish as a result is not among Ling Lingfa's considerations!

The center has always been hiding behind the scenes to support the forces, and generally does not come forward in person.

Anyway, there are too many forces that can be supported. If one fails, just replace it with another. In the end, the center will not suffer any losses.

"Absolutely, sir, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise!"

Sima Zhengxin nodded repeatedly. Seeing that Ling Ling was about to leave, he quickly stood up and saw him off: "Sir, please go slowly. I'll see you off, sir!"

Ling Ling said "hmm" as a greeting, and left the Imperial Study Room with Sima Zhengxin personally seeing him off.

After he left, Sima Zhengxin put away the smile on his face and his expression became gloomy.

He had become the emperor of the Hongshang Empire, so he began to become a little impatient with Ling Lingfa's attitude and demands.

If he hadn't been able to deal with Ling Lingfa for the time being, Sima Zhengxin might have turned against him.

Who the hell, after becoming emperor, would still want to have such a dictating emperor above their heads?

Although Ling Lingfa does not have the name of the Supreme Emperor, he completely regards himself as the Supreme Emperor!

There was a gloom in Sima Zhengxin's eyes. As long as there was a chance, he would kill Ling Lingfa!

If there is no chance... I can only continue to suffer!

After Ling Lingfa left the palace, he did not go to Tianlao to pick up the person in person. Instead, he waited until dark and sent two people from the center to take the token to do this.

Three hundred prisoners were the most elite soldiers in the army. It took Sima Zhengxin a lot of effort to gather these people.

But having said that, it is actually not too difficult to do such a thing in the name of purging Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu's faction.

It's just that the quality requirements are relatively high, and Sima Zhengxin can't do much.

If Ling Lingfa didn't ask for it, Sima Zhengxin could give it to Ling Lingfa without frowning, not to mention a thousand, but ten thousand ordinary soldiers.

This group of people was sent to the secret research laboratory established by the center outside the imperial capital. After Ling Lingfa inspected it, he was quite satisfied.

They were all very suitable experimental subjects. Unsaid, they all entered the experimental stage and were injected with the medicine developed by the center. The amount and ingredients of each person's medicine were slightly different. It could be said that none of them were the same.

It's hard to say how many of these three hundred people will survive in the end...

Five days later, Sima Zhengxin gathered the remaining 700 people, and the first batch of experimental subjects agreed upon by both parties was completed.
