The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 27

"Your Majesty, traces of those bandits have been found. They went to the black market in the Red District."

Huang Long who heard the information from General Jiang, did not say a single word. He immediately whipped his horse and went towards the black market. General Jiang and General Mo looked at each other for a while, then followed Huang Long.

The black market is located in the Red District. The Red District was the only region in the Southern kingdom untouched by law long ago. Despite being part of the territory of the Southern Kingdom, the government had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Red District.

When Huang Long reached the red District, he immediately saw the figure he was looking for. The woman was too conspicuous to wear red clothes and flower-shaped hair ornaments among people who wore ordinary and shabby clothes. Huang Long's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly when he realized that Xie Hongyi was holding someone in his hands, and that person was a man! Huang Long's face darkened.

Xie Hongyi who heard the sound of horse footsteps turned around, and found Huang Long's face unkind.

Huang Long asked in a low voice. "How did you get away from those bandits? And who is this guy?"

Xie Hongyi slightly grimaced as he looked at Huang Long's face which was like he had a debt to the man. What was the mistake he made? Xie Hongyi really did not know. "Your Majesty, before I answer that question, can you help me to raise this man?"

Then the two soldiers behind Huang Long approached Xie Hongyi and raised the unconscious man. The moment the man was lifted, Xie Hongyi felt relieved that he no longer supported the man who had heavy weights. He thanked Huang Long. "Thank you Your Majesty."

Huang Long did not reply. The man's gaze was fixated on the thing Xie Hongyi was holding. It was black and had a muzzle at the end. He had never seen that thing, so he was curious and could not help but ask Xie Hongyi. "What are you holding in your hand?

Hearing what Huang Long asked, Xie Hongyi realized that he was still holding the gun that had been used to ease out of the auction. Putting the gun in his sleeve, he replied. "Ah, this is something to scratch the back."

Huang Long stared in disbelief at him? Can it really scratch your back? Seeing the disbelieving gaze of the man, Xie Hongyi also looked for a topic of conversation so that Huang Long would no longer pay attention to his gun. The master protagonist who can detect lies is like a psychologist, please believe me! While pointing at the man he saved earlier, Xie Hongyi asked. "Your Majesty, may I treat her?"

Huang Long was a vigilant person. Since childhood inside the Palace, he had seen the kind of people who became sycophants, two-faced, greedy, shameless, and cruel. For example, his own father. On the surface he acted like a dignified, fair and honest Emperor. But at that time Huang Long knew that the old man was acting arbitrarily, cunning, cruel and had a lot of dirty stains.

At first he thought that his mother died from a regular accident. But when he heard the conversation of his mother's servants, it turns out that the cause of death of his beloved woman is not as simple as it seems. Not long after, he finally found out that his mother was intentionally harmed, and his father knew it. He thought that the indifference shown by his father was because he and his mother were unwelcome. But apparently, the old man had long ago arranged a scheme to kill his mother. He finally also knew why the man had done nothing when his brothers bullied him.

When Huang Long had the power to take revenge, the first thing he did was destroy the man who killed his mother. He killed Zhao Yun using the lingchi execution method. Huang Long then sent his body to his father as a warning sign that he would take revenge. Don't blame himself for being ruthless, they were the ones who encouraged Huang Long to become such a person.

I can guess what the old man's reaction was. The man was very panicked and ordered the guards to arrest Huang Long. But, it did not happen because Huang Long had attacked the palace.

That is what makes his personality to be wary of anyone. He then firmly rejected Xie Hongyi's request. "Can't."

Xie Hongyi frowned when he got a rejection. He then asked Huang Long. "Why can't I treat him?"

"He is a stranger, it is not clear where his origins are from. If he's someone who can harm the southern kingdom, you want to take responsibility for that?"

Xie Hongyi actually agreed with Huang Long, but the problem was, the system did not allow him to leave the man! "Then what if upon arriving at the palace later His Majesty doesn't need to reward me, but instead His Majesty allows me to treat him."

In Xie Hongyi's heart was completely unwilling if he had to lose money! He said in his heart to the system. "System, you really suck. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have lost any money!"

Huang Long clearly saw the bitter expression on Xie Hongyi's face as the woman said about the rewards. He then thought, does Xie Hongyi really need money? Is her salary as a concubine less?

Seeing the man immersed in his thoughts, Xie Hongyi tried to persuade him back. "Your Majesty, he is injured and deeply concerned. He was a slave that his family sold. He must have had a hard life. Your Majesty, can't you be merciful to let me help her? Heaven will repay you for all your good deeds!".

Looking at the stubborn Xie Hongyi, Huang Long could not speak anymore. For some reason, every time he argued with this woman, he definitely could not fight back. Realizing Xie Hongyi's stubbornness, Huang Long decided to let him take care of the man. "Whatever."

Huang Long was persuaded. Xie Hongyi was a little pleased, but his countenance was still sour, still thinking about his money. "Thank you, long live Your Majesty!"
