In the palace of Tiger Roaring City.

Yang Ye and Yingli left the imperial study and walked all the way to the outside of the palace, the two of them talked and discussed, and their mouths were full of praise, and they both felt that it was a great honor to serve under the command of Emperor Chu.

went all the way to the state of Chu, and what they saw and heard along the way gave them a deep understanding of Chu Feifan.

Love the people like a son, treat the people well, govern the country well, along the way the people talked about Emperor Chu with a look of awe, and the eyes were even more pious.

In the imperial study just now, the two of them were even more determined in their hearts, and felt that Ziyun's surrender to the Chu State was the best choice, and they were full of praise for Yang Yansi beside them.

Yang Ye is loyal and brave, very wise, good at riding and shooting, such a famous person, Chu Feifan watched him leave and said.

"Yang Gong is loyal and martyred, I am lucky!"

Yinglin and Yang Ye are in-laws, and they are the first to look forward to their horses, good at using a thunderous heavy knife, with a bold temperament, and they are upright.

Chu Feifan and the two had a very happy conversation, and the imperial study was immediately rewarded, Yang Ye named him the general of the third-grade Shence, and Yinglin was the general of the fourth-grade Shenwu.

The two may not be as strong as the younger generation of generals on the battlefield, but they are good at using soldiers, familiar with the art of war, and their rich experience makes them the commanders of the first army without the slightest problem.

Yang Ye and Yinglin, he did not stay in the imperial city, but asked them to return to Longcheng after the New Year's Festival, and guarded Ziyun County with Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Qin Qiongsan.

Outside the Purple Cloud Empire, they are adjacent to the Liang Kingdom, the Han Qing Dynasty, and the Cang Song Dynasty in different directions, and they are all hungry wolves that have to be wary.

And.

As Yang Ye said, in addition to the old department of the Hanlin Army and the Yang Family Army, the remaining soldiers have long been exhausted, so the heavy responsibility of training soldiers also falls on the two of them.

A month passed quietly, approaching the end of the year, and all the folds were piled up in the imperial study.

Looking at the mountains of folds on the wooden case in front of him, Chu Feifan's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to open the folds and began to read them.

The New Year is approaching.

He wanted to finish the government affairs early in the year and take time to spend time with the women.

Crossing the war continent for a year, this year Chu Feifan has experienced life and death, has a love that has traveled through thousands of years, and the foundation of the Chu country has gradually stabilized, and it is time to give himself a vacation.

In the following time, he has been dealing with government affairs in the imperial study, and the money and grain were safely transported to various places, and all the excerpts handed over by the state capitals were to thank the emperor for his grace.

Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Qin Qiongsan have begun to rebuild the border cities, the city walls have been thickened and improved, the moat has been excavated, and the city has been set up with bows and crossbows.

And at this time.

In the imperial capital of the Liang Kingdom, under the city of Jinling, a team of iron horsemen came with a neighing wind, and the dark Netherworld Banner was flying, hunting sounded, and roared in the void.

Xiao Zhan, the king of Youzhou, led 10,000 ghost horsemen to the city, looking at the mighty army, the guards on the city looked panicked, and his eyes flashed with panic.

The Netherworld Rider army outside the city had not yet arrived, but the strong murderous aura in the void annihilated them, making people feel terrified.

Xiao Zhan has not returned to Jinling for more than ten years, and the guards in the city do not know the Netherworld Rider, so they quickly turned around and beat drums and beat gold.

"Close the gates!"

"Close the gates!"

The guards were in a panic, and their trembling roars echoed in the void.

"The king of Youzhou returns to Beijing, and the idle people retreat quickly!"

A cold voice sounded, the faces of the defenders on the city turned pale, the king of Youzhou is the existence of the Liang State second only to the emperor, he has guarded Youzhou for decades, and has repelled the strong enemy countless times.

The most feared existence of the nations, there is a legend of the undefeated god in the army.

Distance.

A maroon red war horse, with a round waist and strong limbs, runs with four hooves in the air, and is majestic.

On the back of the jujube red horse, the man is handsome, his face is like a carving, with distinct facial features, angular, and his appearance looks like a debauchery, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate it.

With black and thick hair, a pair of sword eyebrows, eagle-like sharp eyes looked at the city, and his body was draped in a white cloak fluttering in the cold wind.

"It seems that this king has not returned for decades, and he has not entered Jinling City for a long time, and the people here do not know the existence of this king."

"The prince forgives the sin, and the last general will come forward to report!"

The black-armored general on the side looked panicked, Xiao Zhan followed him at the age of fifteen, knowing his temperament well, obviously there was anger in his tone at this moment.

The black-armored general rode his horse and whipped his horse, and the horse galloped forward quickly, and the city guard galloped down in a panic.

City gates.

The guards stood tremblingly, staring at Xiao Zhan who was riding his horse, his face was as pale as paper, and his figure suddenly knelt on the ground.

"I'm waiting to welcome the king of Youzhou back to Beijing!"

Xiao Zhan patted the Malay Dao guard in front of him, his sharp eyes glanced at him, the horsewhip in his hand hunted, and a red phantom swept towards the end of the long street.

Looking at Xiao Zhan in the distance, the guard was a fierce spirit, wet with cold sweat, his throat rolled, and he clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, looking relieved.

When the king of Youzhou returned to Beijing, the news spread all over Jinling in an instant.

in the Royal Palace.

Xiao Yu was reviewing the folds in the imperial study, Gao Xiao walked into the hall, stepped forward in a hurry, and bowed with his fist.

"Your Majesty, the King of Youzhou has entered Beijing and has arrived at the palace and is walking towards the imperial study."

"How did he come back!"

"Without my edict, he dared to lead troops into Jinling privately, what did he want to do?"

Xiao Yu raised his hand and slapped the fold on the wooden table, his figure rose, and a cold voice sounded.

The appearance of the king of Youzhou has become blurred in his impression, for a full ten years, although Youzhou is the land of Liang, but he does not care at all, it has always been the king of Youzhou who is governing, and the court has not given the slightest help.

If Youzhou didn't return to Jinling in person, Xiao Yu would have forgotten his existence.

Moment.

A rush of footsteps came, Xiao Yu knew that he had come, straightened his sleeves, sat down on the wooden chair, and looked at the door of the hall with calm eyes.

Xiao Zhan was dressed in a military uniform, with a broad sword hanging from his waist, and a strong iron-blooded murderous aura lingering on his body, and walked in with steady steps.

"Weichen Xiao Zhan to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Xiao Zhan subdued his shoulders, knelt on the ground with his fists, and his majestic and heavy voice sounded, staring at Xiao Yu with eyes like torches.

"Brother Huang, hurry up!"

"After ten years of absence, the imperial brother is finally willing to return to Jinling, and I often dream of the imperial brother in my dreams these nights."

"Really?"

"The emperor and Weichen really have a heart, and Weichen often dreams during this time, but what he dreamed about was ten years ago."

"The past is like smoke, vivid, and the thoughts become sick, so Weichen did not call the emperor to return to Beijing, and hoped that the emperor would forgive his sins."

Xiao Zhan was unruly and wild, the cold light flashed by, and a sonorous and powerful voice sounded.

"The New Year is approaching, and the imperial brother has returned from thousands of miles away, so I just took this opportunity to have a drink with the imperial brother."

Xiao Yu is quite jealous of the king of Youzhou, he is a great military exploit, when the world is a hero, has always been arrogant and uninhibited, now he has not been summoned to Beijing, Xiao Yu has a sense of foreboding in his heart.
