Quick Transmigration: The Mad Host's Smile Reveals Unpredictable Fate

Chapter 124 Not an inch of land will be yielded, let me give you a kiss (1)

"Lord Zhang, His Majesty is busy with official duties, you should take your leave now!"

When Su Dingding opened his eyes, he found himself kneeling outside the hall.

His old, calloused legs were about to break from kneeling, and the cold wind blew across the deep lines on his face, making his loose skin tremble.

The head eunuch stood arrogantly in front of her, his expression utterly irritating.

"Master Zhang?"

Su Dingding looked up at him. Did he not want to get up?

My legs are numb!

Laughter suddenly erupted from the imperial study, and a woman called out sweetly, "Your Majesty, I'm here..."

Su Dingding frowned. A tyrant?

"Master Zhang!"

The head eunuch raised his shrill voice and shouted again.

"Help me up, I can't get up." Su Dingding reached out her hand.

The head eunuch had no choice but to comply, though he looked reluctant.

[Host, please accept the requested task.]

This is also a small world derived from the novel.

The original owner's name was Zhang Hongzhi, and he was now exactly sixty years old.

His life has been full of hardships.

Born into poverty, he was the only one to survive out of many brothers and sisters in his family.

My mother passed away when I was six years old.

My father passed away when I was eleven.

To pay for his father's funeral, Zhang Hongzhi sold himself into servitude to a wealthy merchant.

While he was cleaning, he often heard the young master reading aloud in the study, so engrossed that he forgot to do his work.

Seeing his eagerness to learn, the master made him his son's page and allowed him to enter the study to read.

The good times didn't last long. The emperor was incompetent and, in order to please neighboring countries, he offered them gold, silver, jewels, and beautiful women, and even ceded territory to sue for peace.

However, the common people suffered a great misfortune. When Zhang Hongzhi was fifteen years old, the Zhou family was framed and their property was confiscated.

After years of displacement, Zhang Hongzhi moved around to many places before finally settling in Xizhou.

By chance, he met the local governor, Lord Zuo.

At the time, Lord Zuo was troubled by the drought, and Zhang Hongzhi offered advice and solutions that resolved the problem.

Lord Zuo greatly admired his talent and made him an official under his command.

A few years later, the emperor died and the crown prince ascended the throne.

With the new emperor being young and the empress dowager in power, the country is basically controlled by treacherous officials and is in a precarious situation.

Years of oppression led to uprisings and rebellions in many places.

The imperial court did everything in its power to suppress the people.

Zhang Hongzhi was well aware of the people's suffering, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After a long and winding journey to Beijing, Zhang Hongzhi finally had the opportunity to meet Grand Secretary Fu.

Lord Fu also admired Zhang Hongzhi's analysis and insights into the national situation and recommended him to the Empress Dowager.

After entering the court as an official, Zhang Hongzhi offended the treacherous minister Li Taishi because he was not tactful enough in his dealings with others.

Because of Li Taishi's slander, Zhang Hongzhi's ambitions could not be realized, he encountered setbacks at every turn, and was even demoted.

Moreover, other countries were also eyeing them covetously at the time.

Unfortunately, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Emperor took it seriously, citing the empty treasury as the reason for not strengthening military defenses.

Zhang Hongzhi watched as other countries developed guns and cannons, while his own country declined from a powerful nation to a state of decay, and even faced the possibility of extinction. His heart was breaking.

But he was a nobody, and he could do nothing as he watched his country being bullied by other countries.

Until he was sixty years old, he did something big.

The Kingdom of Liu invaded the country's borders, intending to seize the entire northwest of the country, but the emperor remained indifferent.

The Northwest is barren; once it's gone, it's gone forever.

Zhang Hongzhi knelt outside the palace for two days, strongly urging the emperor to send troops, saying that the country would not yield an inch of land, and how could the people become homeless dogs.

Finally, the emperor got annoyed and ordered him to lead the troops into battle.

A civil official of his generation, he led troops into battle at the advanced age of sixty.

Without food and supplies or troops, the outcome was predictable: his arm was blown off, and he was defeated and forced to retreat.

Zhang Hongzhi was imprisoned and tortured to death.

A few years after his death, the country was also destroyed...

[Host, the original owner's demands were to protect the country and defend every inch of land, so that the people would no longer be displaced and could live in peace and prosperity!] Gangzi sniffed.

That's certainly a grand ambition, a bit too ambitious!

Because at this time, the differences between countries were quite large.

In terms of politics, military, economy, and many other aspects, we have fallen far behind.

Besides, if you want something to run fast, you need the engine to pull it. Look at that emperor who loves pleasure, he can't pull it!

"Lord Zhang, please go back quickly." The chief eunuch helped Su Dingding up, and as if his hands were dirty, he even took out a handkerchief to wipe them.

Su Dingding glanced at him, then turned and left angrily.

"Host, do you have any thoughts?" Gangzi asked.

"I need to put on makeup. I need to find the pale pink, gold-sleeved dress that Consort Yu wore when she performed her dance!"

"Hmm..." Gangzi opened the wardrobe, his eyes dazzled.

"Number 47,657!" Su Dingding reminded him.

Gangzi smiled admiringly, "Host has a good memory!"

Soon, behind the deserted artificial hill, Su Dingding changed her clothes. Her wrinkled and weathered old face was covered with rouge and powder, and she wore various sparkling gold hairpins on her head. Several emerald necklaces hung around her neck, and her chest was pulled down low, but unfortunately, she was flat-chested.

She strode back outside the palace with an air of indifference, as if she didn't recognize anyone.

Gangzi was inexplicably agitated; was the host about to suffer a mental breakdown?

The head eunuch was completely stunned when he saw Su Dingding.

I thought to myself, no palace has a concubine this ugly, but upon closer inspection, it's none other than Lord Zhang!

Unfortunately, while he was still in a daze, Su Dingding had already arrived in front of him.

"Lord Zhang, what is this...?"

Before the head eunuch could finish speaking, Su Dingding kicked him down the steps.

"roll!"

Su Dingding had long disliked him, and if she hadn't been in a hurry, she definitely wouldn't have let him off the hook.

Pushing open the palace door, he saw several beautiful concubines half-naked, dodging and trying to entice the emperor to grab them.

The emperor, blindfolded, went around arresting people in a lewd manner, kissing whoever he caught and taking off a piece of clothing.

The other concubines were startled when Su Dingding suddenly barged in. For some reason, they couldn't shout out and all tried to dodge.

The Emperor, unaware of the situation, was still arresting people. "My beauty, why are you so quiet? Be careful, or I might catch you..."

"Your Majesty..." Su Dingding ran over seductively, her voice soft and weak, "Come on, catch me, and I'll let you...hehehe..."

"What is 'hehehe'?" The emperor didn't understand, but he was captivated by the sound and reached out to touch it.

"Hehehe, that's it, Your Majesty, how annoying!" Su Dingding punched the Emperor's chest with her little fists.

The emperor felt as if he had been hit by a huge rock and coughed a few times.

He took off his blindfold and saw an old face approaching him with pouting lips, and that face was clearly a man's!

"Insolence!" The emperor struggled violently, almost breaking his head.

Su Dingding, however, hugged his waist, determined to give him a kiss. "Your Majesty, isn't this old minister beautiful enough? Since Your Majesty likes to play, this old minister will play with you!"

"Zhang Hongzhi?" The Emperor recognized the voice and flew into a rage. "Lord Zhang, you've committed insubordination! Don't you want your head?"

"Your Majesty, even if I lose my head today, I still want to have sex with Your Majesty!" Su Dingding pinched the Emperor's chin and tried to kiss him again.

The emperor shouted "Help!" but found no one to come to his rescue!

"Lord Zhang, what exactly is this 'hehehe'?" The Emperor was about to compromise.

"Hehehe, it's just getting into bed!" Su Dingding burst into laughter, his wrinkles deepening.

The emperor was pinned down like that, shouting in resistance, "Don't come any closer!"
