Yang Dongsheng's face already showed a look of discouragement.

But suddenly, a doubt flashed through his mind, and the despair on his face was swept away, and his eyes were full of doubt and surprise.

"What did you say?"

He asked busily.

Dongfang Shuo smiled: "This kind of words, there's no need for me to repeat it a second time, right?"

"Do you want to ...... Promote me?"

Yang Dongsheng said.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo let out a long breath.

"I'm talking about letting you pay for your crimes, you stay with me without an official position, and you don't have a salary, I only guarantee that you and your family will not starve to death. Dongfang Shuo said, "The words promotion and appointment are not appropriate for you. ”

Yang Dongsheng was silent at the moment.

He thought that today was a catastrophe.

But what he didn't expect was that Dongfang Shuo would make such a choice.

"Yes...... Why is that?"

He asked.

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes: "Why? Because you are a talent." Talents who do good deeds are rare, and talents who do bad deeds are also rare. I want useful people, not just good people who are useful. That's an explanation that's clear enough, isn't it?"

After that, Yang Dongsheng said no more.

Because he has thoroughly understood that Dongfang Shuo himself is a pragmatic person.

"If you understand, then enter the city as soon as possible to deal with the affairs inside the city, and then bring your family to meet me outside the city. Dongfang Shuo said this, he looked up at the city tower, although there were many soldiers standing on the city tower at this moment, but the number was the same as on weekdays, it can be seen that Yang Dongsheng had no intention of meeting the enemy at all. Then he retracted his gaze, looked at Yang Dongsheng and continued, "I'll give you an hour's time." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Dongsheng immediately quit and entered the city.

Dongfang Shuo, on the other hand, turned around and stepped onto the spirit horse again, and after looking at the city tower, he raised his hand and said, "Rest in place!"

Giggles!

At this moment, a horse suddenly came from the east of the soldiers and horses, and ran straight from the front end of the front row of the soldiers and horses to Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo turned his horse's head and faced the man.

At this time, the soldiers around Dongfang Shuo were preparing to block it, but they were stopped by Dongfang Shuo.

In the blink of an eye, the man and the horse were already approaching rapidly, and then the other party flew up and dismounted, and quickly knelt down on one knee in front of Dongfang Shuo.

"Who are you?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The man presented a letter in both hands and displayed it in front of Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo looked down at the stamp on the letter, and it was the words 'Xishan County Guard'.

"This is a letter from the county keeper to Lord Dongfang, and I also ask Lord Dongfang to take a look. ”

The soldier said.

Looking at the letter, Dongfang Shuo didn't pick it up for a long time.

After a while, he asked, "Is it a letter of peace?"

"The county guard ordered, it......" The soldier hesitated a little, as if he couldn't speak, but after a while, he finally said, "Begging to surrender." ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then looked up to the sky and laughed a few times.

"We are not enemies, why bother to surrender, isn't the Xishan County Guard trying to injustice me?" he asked with a smile.

When the soldier heard this, he trembled.

In these smiling words, the soldier only felt the biting cold.

"County ...... That's definitely not what the county guard meant, and please ask Lord Dongfang to know it!"

The soldier hurriedly argued.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the soldier, and after a moment of silence, he gave up: "Go back and tell you the county guard, he is the county guard of the empire, as long as he is willing to be loyal to the empire, I will not do anything to him." Besides, let him take an inventory of all the soldiers and horses in the county, and I will see a complete list. ”

"Then Lord Dongfang, this letter ......"

"Just say I've seen it, if you lose it, you can return it. ”

"This ......"

"Didn't understand?"

"Yes!"

At that moment, the soldier got up and mounted his horse, turned his horse's head, and hurried back the way he came, and in a moment he was completely dead.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the soldier that Dongfang Shuo retracted his gaze and faced the direction of the city gate.

"I didn't expect that the Xishan County Guard would be able to take care of the overall situation. Dongfang Shuo said to the soldier beside him, "If all the county guards can have such awareness and responsibility, then this matter can be ended more than a month ago." ”

"Yes, Lord Dongfang. ”

"But fortunately, now the matter is over. ”

Immediately, the two generals on the left and right echoed the road.

And between the words, there was also a bit of laxity in their tone.

Dongfang Shuo smiled slightly, then looked at the city tower and said, "Your matter is over, but my matter has just begun." ”

The generals on the left and right glanced at each other, but they were puzzled by Dongfang Shuo's words.

They don't know Dongfang Shuo, and naturally they don't know what Dongfang Shuo has to do.

And Dongfang Shuo didn't continue to say anything, so they naturally didn't dare to ask more.

And so, time passed quietly.

In fact, there was not an hour, it only took about six quarters of an hour, and in less than seven quarters, Yang Dongsheng had already dealt with the affairs in the city, and then personally led a very simple carriage out of the city gate.

And his body has also faded from the brocade robe, and has been replaced by a cloth robe.

"Why don't you hire a coachman?"

Dongfang Shuo glanced at the carriage and said.

In fact, not only is the carriage simple, but even the horse pulling the carriage is not a spirit horse, but an ordinary horse, or even a top-notch good horse.

"When I went out of the city, the city treasury didn't take a penny, and I only brought enough money to go to the imperial city, and it was a waste to hire a coachman, and I could drive it myself. Yang Dongsheng said.

Then, Dongfang Shuo looked at Yang Dongsheng and asked with a smile, "Why is this so?"

"After all, it's a sinful body, so I have to do it. ”

"Finally admit your guilt?"

"Lord Dongfang said yes, and there is. ”

"Still playing word games with me?"

"Doesn't Lord Dongfang also chew words with me?"

"And then it's each other?"

"Each other, each other. ”

So, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Although Yang Dongsheng did something hurtful to heaven and reason, he didn't really harm Dongfang Shuo. It was Dongfang Shuo, who destroyed the Tiger Cliff Sect cultivated by Yang Dongsheng, which was equivalent to breaking Yang Dongsheng's right-hand man.

At this time, it is rare for such two people to be able to talk like this.

"Let's go, then. ”

Dongfang Shuo turned the horse's head and said so.

Then, Yang Dongsheng jumped into the carriage, and with the reins whipped, the carriage moved.

Approaching the imperial city, Dongfang Shuo sent back the 30,000 soldiers and horses from the southwest, because he could no longer use this army of soldiers and horses.

Dongfang Shuo rode a horse to the south gate of the imperial city, beside him was a carriage driven by Yang Dongsheng, and in the carriage were Yang Dongsheng's wife and daughter.

Looking eastward, you can see the barracks at the foot of the mountain in the distance, which is the soldiers and horses that Dongfang Shuo has rectified from various counties, a total of 36,000 people, all of whom are elites without exception, and the most advanced ones are all at the level of Wu Commander, and the lowest cultivation has reached the level of the Iron Bone Realm, which can be said to be a very terrifying force.

After that, Dongfang Shuo retracted his gaze and looked at the imperial city.

Just as he had said to the generals at the foot of the city.

His business, this is just the beginning.

The supplement is complete, and the plot is about to enter a new stage
