Chapter 183: Gathering People's Hearts
Tiexiong Pass, the city lord's mansion.
In the hall, a huge map was placed on the table, and Wei Yan was standing at the table, telling Yang Fan about his defense plan for Tiexiong Pass.
Next to that map, Nangong Ao, Shen Rong, and Shangguan Yi were also standing there, but Zhou Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Between Wei Yan's words, his eyebrows fluttered and his expression was flying, while Yang Fan tried his best to hide the blank look on his face.
After all, Yang Fan grew up in the palace since he was a child, and in the past ten years of his life, his experience was very limited after all.
As for what kind of battle plan is needed to stick to a city, Yang Fan doesn't have any clue, it is precisely because of this that when Yang Fan decided to compete for the position of the crown prince, he would think of asking Zhou Qing to help.
When he was in the Heavenly Sword Ruins, Yang Fan had seen it with his own eyes, Zhou Qing's terrifying talent, and he didn't even bother to accept the inheritance of the Heavenly Sword Old Man.
In Yang Fan's heart, Zhou Qing is powerful and mysterious, and he seems to be omnipotent.
It was this feeling that Yang Fan felt that as long as he had Zhou Qing's help, then he would definitely be able to get the position of crown prince.
At this moment, Yang Fan listened to Wei Yan's narration, and was at a loss, but after all, he came to stick to Tiexiong Pass, if he behaved too badly, he would fall into the tongue, so Yang Fan could only bite the bullet, didn't know how to pretend to understand, and nodded in agreement all the time.
At this moment, Yang Fan hoped in his heart that Zhou Qing could appear, maybe Zhou Qing would have a unique opinion on the deployment of Tiexiong Pass.
"Hehe! City Lord Wei, are you explaining the defense plan of Tiexiong Pass to everyone! I just don't know, can your plan be able to withstand the army of the Qingxuan Dynasty?"
At this moment, outside the hall, a light laugh slowly came.
Everyone looked up one after another, and even when they saw it, Zhou Qing walked over slowly with three men.
"Zhou Qing, you're here!" Yang Fan saw Zhou Qing coming, and for a while, he shouted excitedly as if he had been amnestied.
Zhou Qing stepped into the hall, he came to Yang Fan, and said in a low voice: "Yang Fan, next, all the command of Tiexiong Pass, I hope you can hand it over to me, and I will do everything I can to never let the army of the Qingxuan Dynasty cross Tiexiong Pass." ”
"No problem. Yang Fan readily agreed, he didn't have any experience in commanding the army, and Zhou Qing was willing to help him, which was exactly what Yang Fan was happy to see.
"Okay, then I'll announce the first plan for the defense of Tiexiong Pass. Zhou Qing turned around, his cold gaze fell on Wei Yan's body, and he said, "Come on, arrest Wei Yan for me." ”
Rumble!
As soon as Zhou Qing's words fell, that decision was like a thunderclap on the ground, which resounded in everyone's hearts.
Who is Wei Yan, he is the city lord of Tiexiong Pass, the real ruler of this city.
Before Yang Fan came, almost all matters in Tiexiongguan, no matter how big or small, had to be decided by Wei Yan's hands.
Although Yang Fan is a prince and helps guard Tiexiong Pass this time, he does not have any vassal forces, and he still has to rely on Wei Yan more.
However, when Yang Fan handed over his power to Zhou Qing to control, he never thought that the first thing Zhou Qing had to do was to arrest Wei Yan.
"This little brother, is there some misunderstanding between us. Wei Yan looked at Zhou Qing's cold face, his face stiffened, and he sneered: "After all, we are all working for the Thirteen Princes. Sticking to Tiexiong Pass is our immediate priority, if before, I Wei someone was offended, I can apologize to you now. ”
"Yes, Zhou Qing. City Lord Wei, after all, is the master of Tiexiong Pass, if you arrest him, it will be much more difficult for us to mobilize the power of Tiexiong Pass. If there is something wrong with the City Lord of Wei, I can ask him to make amends for you now. Yang Fan said.
Obviously, Yang Fan was also confused about Zhou Qing's sudden decision, but he didn't want to offend Wei Yan more.
In Yang Fan's opinion, the insistence of Tiexiong Pass, he, Zhou Qing and others are more just assisting from the side, and Wei Yan is the ultimate leader.
"No need. Zhou Qing waved his hand and said indifferently.
Zhou Qing's eyes swept over the soldiers guarding the hall, and when he heard his words, those soldiers also had a look of disbelief, but they were shocked, and their faces were more of a look of fear.
In their opinion, Zhou Qing, a stunned young man, is just an outsider, as soon as he came up, he dared to provoke Wei Yan's majesty, this is simply looking for death, these soldiers, obviously, are deeply oppressed by Wei Yan on weekdays, and have long been terrified of Wei Yan.
Even behind Zhou Qing, Hong Zhan and the three of them were stunned for a moment.
Zhou Qing turned around, looked at Hong Zhan and the three of them, and said in a deep voice: "What are you three still doing in a daze, forgetting what I said last night." If you still have a little blood, arrest Wei Yan for me now. ”
Hong Zhan stared at Zhou Qing deadly, as if he was trying his best to see the young man in front of him clearly, of course he would not forget what Zhou Qing said last night.
Last night, Zhou Qing appeared in front of them silently, and when Zhang Feng told all the evil things that Wei Yan had done, Zhou Qing promised them that he would definitely let Wei Yan get the punishment he deserved.
At that time, Hong Zhan and the three of them did not take Zhou Qing's words to heart.
After all, in their opinion, Zhou Qing was too young, and some words were actually not credible, and Zhou Qing came with the Thirteen Princes, so he should be a subordinate of the Thirteen Princes.
Even the Thirteen Princes, if they want to stick to Tiexiong Pass, they need to rely on Wei Yan's strength, how can Zhou Qing say that he can let Wei Yan get the punishment he deserves.
Hong Zhan and the three of them were stunned for a long time, and at this time, Di Ming suddenly burst out and shouted: "Damn, what are we afraid of, big brother." ”
"Since the Heavenly City was broken, all of our relatives and brothers have already died in the hands of that group of miscellaneous people in the Qingxuan Dynasty. We came to Tiexiong Pass, we wanted to avenge them, but we didn't want to suffer from Wei Yan's bastard all the time. ”
"Big brother, I've endured enough, it's a big deal that Lao Di and Wei Yan, the bastard, will die together, and today I will vent the wretched anger in my heart. ”
Di Ming strode towards Wei Yan, and then, in the shocked gaze, he grabbed Wei Yan's arm with a pair of big hands, like iron tongs.
"Bastard, whoever gave you the guts, let me go. Wei Yan shouted hideously.
Di Ming has the strength of the Purple Mansion Realm, while Wei Yan has only opened the Pulse Realm Ninefold, so in Di Ming's hands, there is no possibility of breaking free at all.
Feeling the slight soreness coming from his arms, Wei Yan's expression became extremely terrifying, when did he receive such an insult from the city lord of Tiexiongguan.
However, at this moment, no one helped Wei Yan.
Zhou Qing looked at Yang Fan and said in a deep voice: "Yang Fan, I know that you have many doubts in your heart. Trust me, soon you will get the answers you want. ”
Zhou Qing's eyes fell on Hong Zhan and Zhang Feng again, and said, "In this city lord's mansion, everyone is afraid of Wei Yan's obscenity, and they don't dare to make the slightest move. ”
"However, I think you should know that some of Wei Yan's treasures are stored, you go and find those things, and today I will let Wei Yan know about death. ”
"Leave this matter to us. Hong Zhan nodded heavily, the moment Wei Yan was arrested by Di Ming, he had already chosen to believe Zhou Qing.
"Let's go!" Hong Zhan waved his hand and left with Zhang Feng.
In Wei Yan's mansion, Zhang Feng is much more familiar than Hong Zhan, and Wei Yan relies on his identity, and all his treasures are not too secretive.
So, Zhang Feng and Hong Zhan found those treasures very smoothly.
A few minutes later, the two returned again, Hong Zhan looked at Zhou Qing, and said in a deep voice: "There are too many treasures, the two of us can't bring them all, I think you better go and take a look!"
Zhou Qing nodded, his gaze swept over Yang Fan and the others, and said, "Let's go together!"
Under the leadership of Hong Zhan, Zhou Qing and the others followed a path in the City Lord's Mansion and came to a secret room.
"How can there be so many silver taels and treasures here!" Yang Fan looked at the mountains of silver taels in front of him in a daze, with an incredible look on his face.
In that secret room, not only a large amount of silver taels were piled up, but also a lot of elixirs and some scarce refining materials.
Zhou Qing glanced at it roughly, and those silver taels alone were probably close to 100 million taels.
One hundred million taels, this is definitely a very terrifying number, you must know that before Zhou Qing destroyed Xie Jingran, the county guard of Tianhe County, he only got tens of millions of taels from Xie Jingran.
And Wei Yan is just Tiexiong Pass, a small city lord, who has gathered so much wealth, you can imagine how much pain the people of Tiexiong Pass have experienced under Wei Yan's oppression over the years.
Yang Fan took a deep breath and sighed: "Zhou Qing, I understand why you arrested Wei Yan, he really deserves to die." ”
Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Let's go!" Next, we should give an explanation to the people of Tiexiong Pass. ”
Tiexiong Pass, the center of the city, has a huge square here.
On weekdays, this square is used for important events or the execution of important prisoners, and at this moment, mountains and seas of people are flocking to the square.
Zhou Qing stood in the center of the square, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and said loudly: "Everyone, I know that everyone has been oppressed by Wei Yan for many years, and their lives are miserable. ”
"And when the Qingxuan Dynasty launched a war and Tiexiong Pass was facing loss, Wei Yan, as the city lord of Tiexiong Pass, had already planned a retreat for himself and was ready to escape. ”
"Today, I, Zhou Qing, will give you an explanation. ”
In the square, Wei Yan knelt in front of everyone, his face was gloomy, when all his wealth was discovered by Zhou Qing and them, he knew that he had reached a dead end.
"Kill, Wei Yan!"
The next moment, Zhou Qingsenran's voice slowly resounded between heaven and earth.
"No, you can't kill me, I'm the lord of Tiexiongguan City, I'm the master of this city......" Wei Yan shouted in horror, and the whole person seemed to be crazy.
However, when Zhou Qing's words fell, the anger in everyone's hearts almost exploded in an instant, the executioner looked hideous, he didn't hesitate at all, and when the knife fell, Wei Yan's head fell to the ground.
"Wei Yan is dead!"
"Wei Yan is dead......
For a while, in the city of Bright Moon, the sound of a tsunami-like carnival broke out.
Everyone danced and shouted happily, and even some people cried excitedly, they had been oppressed by Wei Yan for too long.
Because, Wei Yan holds the absolute power of Tiexiongguan, no one dares to resist his majesty, many people, their relatives, and even Wei Yan tortured to death, at this moment, with Wei Yan died, all the depression in everyone's hearts was poured out in an instant.
Zhou Qing stood in the square, looking at the cheering crowd, and smiled with relief, he knew that he had already taken the first step to hold on to Tiexiong Pass.
With Wei Yan's death, the hearts of the people who had been scattered in Tiexiongguan were reunited, and next, Zhou Qing could implement many defense plans and wait for the arrival of the Qingxuan Dynasty's army.
