Chapter 303: Retreat
"Okay! President Ye has the world in his heart, Zhao Xin sighs to himself! I can make a poisonous oath on behalf of the new dynasty now, as long as the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce assists the new dynasty with peace of mind, the new dynasty will never interfere in the internal affairs of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce! If this oath is violated, the sky will thunder and thunder, and people and gods will be punished together! In addition, the new dynasty will definitely not allow anyone to sow discord again, otherwise there is no need for the masters of the winged army to come out at all, even if the new dynasty comes out, it will drive out all the thieves, and no one will be left!"
Zhao Xin on the side was still worried about whether Ye Ye would swallow up the new dynasty in anger, but now he was extremely excited, and hurriedly came to Ye Ye and solemnly swore to the sky, his tone was full of sincerity.
Compared with the new dynasty that has just grown up, the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce has long become a hegemon. Especially after Ye Ye killed Yuwen Zhi, the limelight of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce and the Winged Army can be said to be unique for a while. As long as the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce joins, the forces of the new dynasty can dominate the entire Canglang Dynasty in the blink of an eye, and no force except the Winged People Army dares to disobey the orders of the new dynasty.
Therefore, even if the crusade against Zhao Jin's Protector Army would make the newly established New Dynasty break its muscles and bones, Zhao Xin did not hesitate to express his determination. After all, compared to this consumption, the increase in the strength of the new dynasty with the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce joining is simply immeasurable.
And after Ye Ye heard Zhao Xin's oath, he also nodded solemnly, and said to Zhao Xin like a lonely: "In the future, the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce and the Canglang Dynasty will be entrusted to the king!"
While speaking, Ye Ye also arched his hand at Zhao Xin, his tone was full of respect, as if he regarded Zhao Xin as an equal to himself.
This scene was even more shocking than Ye Ye's decision just now, making everyone who witnessed this scene deeply believe that Ye Ye did not have the slightest intention of controlling the new dynasty.
It's just that they still wouldn't have thought that Ye Ye would leave the Canglang Dynasty and go to the Ten Thousand Souls Continent in the near future, and Ye Ye himself would not make the news public. Before leaving, he asked the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce to submit to the new dynasty, but he just wanted to prepare a way out for the people of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
After all, compared to the members of the Winged People's Army, everyone in the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce was involved in this vortex by Ye Ye. Although Ye Ye successfully killed Yuwen Zhi and resolved the crisis, the threat from the Ten Thousand Spirits Continent was far from being resolved. Ye Ye now let the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce submit to the new dynasty, which is tantamount to diluting the relationship between the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce and himself. If one day the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Souls Continent attacked, they would not fall into a certain death situation again because of Ye Ye.
As for the members of the Winged People, they have long been ready to sacrifice everything for the Lord of Babel. Even if Ye Ye disbanded them, it was estimated that there would still be followers of the Tower Lord of Babel who would spontaneously form an organization and fight for their beliefs. Therefore, Ye Ye retained the independence of the Winged People's Army, allowing them to continue to play a role and thrive freely in the Canglang Dynasty until the day when they could truly help Ye Ye.
On the square, the high-level officials of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce and the members of the Winged People's Army who witnessed the handover of Ye Ye and Zhao Xin also flashed with surprise on their faces. But after thinking about it, they could also understand Ye Ye's concerns a little. It's just that Xu Shijie, Su Lianyu and others, who had already guessed something, had even more reluctance on their faces.
"This..."
On the other side, Zhao Jin was at a loss for a while after Ye Ye announced his decision.
In his original expectation, Ye Ye would not be able to give up the hegemony of the Canglang Dynasty no matter what, so he could press Ye Ye step by step, and even put his life and death out of the way. But now Ye Ye's choice was greatly beyond his expectations, so that Zhao Jin did not have any hole cards in his hand at all.
"President Ye Shengming!"
"The Canglang Dynasty will never forget your exploits!"
"Long live the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce!"
On the periphery of the square, the onlookers of the major forces of the Canglang Dynasty were also shocked by Ye Ye's decision. But in an instant, they were full of admiration for Ye Ye, and they couldn't help but open their mouths to support Ye Ye.
This kind of scene made the situation of Zhao Jin and the others even more embarrassing, even if Ye Ye killed them on the spot, not only would no one in the Canglang Dynasty avenge them, but the spectators around the square were likely to applaud Ye Ye.
In desperation, Zhao Jin's face finally showed a look of despair.
He personally brought his henchmen to Ye Ye and knelt down, and confessed to Ye Ye with a look of remorse: "President Ye forgives my sins, blame me for not being able to distinguish between right and wrong, which caused President Ye to be wronged!
"Please also ask President Ye to be merciful and spare our lives!"
Zhao Jin's henchmen also begged for mercy at Ye Ye, and his tone was full of pleading and guilt.
But Ye Ye ignored them, but turned his head to Zhao Xin on the side and said, "Your Majesty, the purpose of this meeting has been achieved, so I will leave first." The matter here will be handled by you, and please ask the king to calm down the situation as soon as possible from the overall situation of the Canglang Dynasty!"
After Ye Ye glanced at Zhao Xin deeply, he directly turned around and left the square and returned to the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce's own residence.
Zhao Xin carefully tasted the meaning of Ye Ye's words, and finally turned his head to Zhao Jin and the others who were still kneeling in front of him and announced: "Zhao Jin, it is not too much to execute you on the spot for your crimes! But for the sake of your loyalty to the Canglang royal family, this king will spare your life for the time being." But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and this king will officially demote you to a commoner today, and from now on, you and your descendants will no longer be allowed to call yourself a member of the Canglang royal family!"
After announcing the disposition of Zhao Jin and the others, Zhao Xin was not idle, and immediately turned around and gave an order to Huang Jingfeng and the others, asking them to send masters to the old capital as soon as possible to subdue the Protector Legion.
When Zhao Jin heard Zhao Xin's disposition of himself and the others, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although both he and his descendants were stripped of their status as members of the royal family, at least they were able to retain the assets and fiefs they now owned. This is much better than being exterminated by Ye Ye's family.
And Zhao Xin did not deliberately give preferential treatment to Zhao Jin and others for the sake of being a member of the royal family. Originally, in order to express his gratitude and trust to Ye Ye, Zhao Xin was ready to execute Zhao Jin and others on the spot to set an example. But after listening to Ye Ye's reminder, Zhao Xin suddenly woke up and decided to take this opportunity to increase his popularity, so that Huang Jingfeng and the others could go more smoothly when they subdued the Protector Army.
This is Ye Ye's original intention, and it is also the best result for the Canglang Dynasty, of course Zhao Xin will not refuse. It's just that he can't help but be more grateful to Ye Ye in his heart, and he is determined to govern the Canglang Dynasty with all his strength to repay Ye Ye's efforts.
This is the end of the conference.
The results of the talks between Ye Ye and Zhao Xin spread throughout the Canglang Dynasty in a short period of time, and all the forces of the Canglang Dynasty welcomed it for a while, and admired Ye Ye's generosity and wisdom.
It's just that they will never know that this meeting is almost the last time Ye Ye will appear in public in Lingcheng. Soon after, the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce will officially announce the news of Ye Ye's long-term retreat, and the memory of Ye Ye by the people of the Canglang Dynasty will slowly fade over time, until no one mentions it again for a long, long time.
Before Ye Ye's decision to retreat was officially announced, he and Su Lianyu sat in the attic on the top floor of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce for the first time, looking at the bright moon in the night sky and being silent.
"I'm leaving, going to the Ten Thousand Souls Continent!"
After a long time, Ye Ye finally spoke, and for the first time admitted the fact that he was about to leave.
Even if Su Lianyu had already guessed this result, when she heard Ye Ye admit it herself, she still couldn't hide the look of loss on her face.
Ye Ye didn't dare to look at Su Lianyu's eyes, and continued to explain slowly to her: "Yuwen Zhi is just a mountain master of the Heavenly Dao Academy, and the real top powerhouse of the Heavenly Dao Academy is so powerful that it is beyond imagination. If the powerhouses of the Heavenly Dao Academy of the Ten Thousand Souls Continent entered in a big way, no one in the Canglang Dynasty would be able to resist them at all. Therefore, I must go to the Ten Thousand Souls Continent before that day comes, and grow up as soon as possible to the point where I can not be afraid of the threat of the Heavenly Dao Academy. ”
Although Ye Ye understood that even if he didn't explain, Su Lianyu could guess the reason why he left the Canglang Dynasty, he still opened his mouth to Su Lianyu to confirm, as if he wanted to reassure the other party, and seemed to be afraid that continuing to be silent would bring embarrassment.
"When are you leaving?"
After Ye Ye finished speaking, Su Lianyu finally turned her head to Ye Ye and slowly spoke, the complicated feelings in her eyes were undisguised.
"Tomorrow morning!"
Ye Ye also looked at her calmly, as if he wanted to engrave Su Lianyu's appearance in his mind.
Su Lianyu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something to Ye Ye, but in the end she fell silent.
She didn't keep Ye Ye, nor did she ask Ye Ye to leave with her, because Su Lianyu knew that she would only become a burden to Ye Ye.
In addition, she also wanted to say sorry to Ye Ye and apologize for her departure and estrangement. It's just that when the words came to her mouth, Su Lianyu found that she couldn't say it anyway, or even if she said it, she couldn't really express her inner feelings.
The pavilion at the top of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce fell silent again, and the atmosphere kept spreading between embarrassment and ambiguity. Although neither of them spoke, it was as if they had already said what they wanted to say.
Finally, Ye Ye took a deep breath and turned his head to Su Lianyu and sincerely pleaded: "After I leave, I hope you can continue to stay in the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce and stop wandering around." No matter how the world changes, the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce will always have a place for you!"
Ye Ye's expression was sincere, his tone was sincere, and his concern for Su Lianyu was beyond words.
No matter what happened between them, and no matter what Su Lianyu thought of him now, Ye Ye's concern for Su Lianyu had never diminished. Maybe now is not the time for the two to get back together, but as long as he thinks that Su Lianyu is still waiting for him in Lingcheng, Ye Ye's courage to go to the Ten Thousand Souls Continent can't help but be more sufficient.
"Hmm!"
Su Lianyu looked at Ye Ye's eyes, as if she had read his heart, and her eyes finally showed joy, and at the same time smiled at Ye Ye and nodded.
A farewell ended in silence.
In the early morning of the next day, the figures of Ye Ye and Yan Lieyang quietly disappeared from the mausoleum. The Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce and the Winged People Army also officially announced that Ye Ye and Yan Lieyang were in retreat and cultivation at the same time, and the Canglang Dynasty had entered a new era of rapid development since it began.
