Chapter 31: A Wave Rises Again

The corpse dragon fell rapidly in the eyes of the soldiers of the two armies.

"Now that Sun Hong has been defeated, then the officers and men of the Eastern Navy, lay down their arms and surrender." Yun Qing shouted.

The soldiers of the Eastern Navy looked at each other, and finally put down their weapons and took off their armor.

"Wanrong, you take someone to appease these captives and count the supplies." Yue Qingrou commanded. After all, she has gone through many battles, and she is different from Yunqing, who no longer knows what to do on the side.

"All right, my Great General, Great Lord. Shouldn't you say something to your soldiers after a great victory? And the arrangements for these captives are also up to you. Yue Qingrou knew that Yun Qing was at a loss for a while, so she walked up to him and said softly.

"Huh? I? This one...... What should I say? Yun Qing looked at Yue Qingrou with a blank expression.

"Stupid, how do I know what to say?" Yue Qingrou glared at him angrily: "Think for yourself." ”

Yun Qing had no choice but to walk towards the soldiers of Long Linjun: "Brothers. Rejoice. ”

All the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed and cheered.

Yue Qingrou on the side couldn't help but cover her face: "This guy ...... This victory speech is really ...... It's easy. ”

"If he can really say that he is out of the blue, is it still him?" Wanrong pursed her lips.

"Uncle Hong, these captives are handed over to you for disposal." After Yun Qing said this, he immediately slipped away, he really didn't think about what to do with these captives: "Duke Beauty, how about we go and see that dragon?" ”

"That's right, let's go." Yue Qingrou was also fine, and nodded immediately.

The two of them came to the location where the corpse dragon was, only to see that the corpse dragon had fallen from a high altitude and was unrecognizable.

On the contrary, the man in black was still struggling.

"Say, who the hell are you?" Yue Qingrou looked at him with cold eyes.

"Huh...... You won't ...... Whoever has lived too long, Master...... and the true God...... I won't let you go......" After the man in black finished speaking, he suddenly spit out black blood from his mouth and swallowed directly.

"Poison." Yue Qingrou snorted coldly: "It's another poison hidden in your teeth like this." ”

"What, you've seen it?" Yun Qing was a little curious when he heard this.

"Do you remember the last time the assassin was made? I thought I could interrogate something, but I didn't expect to commit suicide. It was to bite through the poison bag hidden in the tooth. Yue Qingrou sighed and explained.

"It's the sect leader and the true god, do you think they will be a gang?"

"It's hard to say. This technique is very common. Yue Qingrou shrugged: "It's not a special means. A lot of killer groups have killers. It's normal for this to be a cult believer. It's just that I'm still very concerned, there are no sects in the mainland, what kind of sect leader is this? ”

"Don't think about these things. I'm just worried about ...... now" Yun Qing looked at Hong Xiao over there arranging those prisoners, and frowned: "Although I won this time, I don't think that old immortal will give up." ”

"Of course not. You killed all his sons this time. He should kill him right away. Yue Qingrou laughed: "It seems that your territory is really full of disasters." ”

The vast majority of the captured soldiers left with enough food to return.

Only some of the soldiers who did not have families expressed their reluctance to return and were willing to stay in Longlin County to live.

Ke'er was responsible for the placement of these soldiers, and Ziyan expressed great welcome.

Longlin County is vast and sparsely populated, and there are still some insufficient manpower to develop, and it is simply happy that someone is willing to come to Ziyan, so he directly asked to hand over these soldiers to him, just as his caravan needs to be guarded, and these soldiers can be regarded as making the best use of them.

As Yun Qing expected, the territory had just settled down, and a few days after An Tian's birthday, he received very bad news.

"It's a joke to say that we should surrender." Hong Xiao slapped the letter on the table and roared.

The letter was from the Duke of Yunshan, one of the three major dukes of the empire.

This old man is also a careerist whose ambition is no less than that of the East Sea Gong.

As soon as he failed in Donghai Gong's attack on Longlin County, he couldn't help but send this letter to Yunqing.

The content of the letter roughly made Yun Qing surrender to him, swear allegiance, and ask him to hand over 300,000 gold coins and 2,000 beauties as offerings. Then he will protect Longlin County from being annihilated by the revenge and anger of the Donghai Duke, otherwise, he will also send troops to attack Longlin County without the Donghai Gong's troops.

"This old thing is too deceitful." Zi Yan also stared at the letter with an ugly face: "He is threatening us. He calculated that even if we repelled the attack of Donghai Gong, we would definitely suffer a lot of losses. ”

Yun Qing picked up the letter and threw it to Ke'er: "Don't waste it, when you prepare lunch, use it for fire." Uncle Hong, pass on this news to the people of Longlin County. Then tell the soldiers that another great battle is coming, and the enemy must not be allowed to have a good time. Also, give this letter to the old fellow. ”

As he spoke, he saw Yun Qing pick up the pen and write a word, kill. After folding, he handed it to Hong Xiao.

"I see." Hong Xiao then ran out quickly.

"Even if you defeat that Yunshan Gong attack this time, there will be revenge from Donghai Gong. With us soldiers, I'm afraid it's hard to resist. Yue Qingrou said slowly: "Our troops are not enough. This is a big problem. ”

Hearing this, Ke'er laughed: "Don't worry about this, many young people in the territory have proposed to join the army after this battle. I've let the big guy pick according to the principles I gave him. Now the private army in the territory has reached more than 2,000 people, plus the 1,000 private army of General Li, a total of more than 3,000 people. ”

"Not enough, still not enough." Yue Qingrou sighed: "Even so, with my five thousand people, it is only about eight thousand." Although the Yunshan Gong may not be able to attack with all his strength. But the new and old hatred between the Duke of Donghai and your Yun family, plus the fact that you killed his only remaining son this time, he will definitely do his best to attack you. A duke, the private army is less than 100,000 people. If he is a careerist, maybe even more. ”

"I think, do you want to unite the surrounding nobles?" Ke'er suddenly pointed to the map on the table: "Most of these nobles near Longlin County are friends with the old lady. And I heard that they were also threatened by the Duke of Donghai and the Duke of Yunshan. I don't think they'll be willing to be loyal either. ”

"Kerr is right. The Duke of Yunshan and the Duke of Donghai must have thought that His Majesty was seriously ill, and they could do whatever they wanted. Hmph, but it is absolutely impossible for them to make the nobles submit. Let's not say that the emperor is not dead, even if the emperor is dead, it will not be their turn to be loyal to them? It's just a joke. Ziyan said angrily.

Jia Lin behind Yun Qing suddenly spoke at this time: "When you say this, I suddenly thought of it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have been deliberately killed by Sun Hong. ”

"How?" Yun Qing looked back at Jia Lin, only to see her fists clenched tightly, and her eyes were full of hatred: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"The Duke of Donghai has a nephew who is related to His Majesty. Yunshan Gong has a grandson who is also related to His Majesty. Although their blood ties to the royal family are already far away. But His Majesty has only one son of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince's life and death are now unknown, and His Majesty has no brothers, so he can only choose the heir to the throne from among the distant relatives of the royal family. With the support of the two dukes, the heir to the throne may be chosen from the nephew of the Duke of Donghai and the grandson of the Duke of Yunshan. "Jia Lin has followed the crown prince for many years, and she knows far more about the affairs of the royal family than others.

"No wonder they want the nobles to be loyal, it seems that they are laying out the affairs of the heir to the throne." Zi Yan snorted coldly: "Yun Qing, if you let them go on like this, I'm afraid the empire is bound to be in chaos." In any case, the arrogance of these two old immortals must be suppressed. ”

Yun Qing nodded: "Yes, if they dare to come, then let them have no return." Without further ado, Kerr, tell me which one we should go to for an alliance first? ”

Ke'er stretched out his hand and pointed to an area in the south of Longlin County: "Yunxiang Mansion, Marquis Hanlin." His old man used to have a good relationship with the old lady. And his old man had a high reputation among the surrounding nobles. As long as he can form an alliance with us, it will be much easier for the other nobles to convince. ”

"That's good. We'll go now. Yunqing stood up: "Jia Lin, this time you stay to deal with territory affairs and military training, Ke'er needs to go with me." ”

"But...... Lord Viscount, your safety ......" Jia Lin was greatly dissatisfied when she heard this.

Yun Qing stretched out his hand and pointed at Yue Qingrou: "Don't worry." With Duke Beauty here, do you still have to worry about my safety? ”

"Lord Duke, the safety of our Lord Viscount is in your hands." Jia Lin was right when she thought about it, and saluted to the moon softly.

Yue Qingrou only felt a black line, glaring at Yun Qing.

What did he take me for? Bodyguards? What does this mean? Yes? You're also a nobleman, are you so cheeky?

Wanrong covered her mouth and smiled.

"Don't ask her. Let's go. Yun Qing waved his hand and walked out.

"Yunqing!" Yue Qingsoft rushed over and grabbed Yun Qing's ear: "What do you mean?" Am I your bodyguard? Also, what do you mean by not having to ask me? Are you bold? You dare to make a decision for me without asking my opinion. You can do it, there is yours. Believe it or not, I tore your ears off? ”

"Oops...... Pain and pain...... Let go, Duke Beauty. It's going to fall off, it's going to fall. Yun Qing shouted in pain again and again: "My ears are going to fall off." Don't I think you won't refuse? So I agreed for you. ”

"What do you mean I won't refuse? How do you know? Yueqing said softly and angrily.

"I'm dead, where are you going to get paid? So I don't think you're going to let me die. Yun Qing held Yue Qingrou's hand: "Don't, don't drag it, it's really going to fall." ”

"Remuneration? Okay, since you talked to me about the reward, then the attack of the East Sea Gong has been repulsed, is it time to pay me? Otherwise, I'll leave. Yue Qingrou became more and more angry the more she spoke: "I want you to pay me again." Do you hear that? ”

"Gagaga, how about extending the tax holiday for your officially recognized merchants to ten years?" Yun Qing hurriedly said.

Yue Qingrou stopped at this time: "This is about the same." I agreed. ”xh118
