Chapter 103: Mission
The Northern Wilderness City was already on alert at this time, and all the residents were uniformly arranged to a safe place.
The iron cavalry of the Taiyi Empire had already approached the city, and the White Dragon King had already prepared to close the city gate and not let anyone enter the city during the period.
After holding each other for three days, the Taiyi Empire only attacked a few times on a small scale, and after suffering a crushing defeat, there was no movement.
At this time, Ye Qingtian and the others also came to the Northern Wilderness City, and they already knew about it when they entered the territory of Yuanzhou.
The White Dragon King fought against the Taiyi Empire in the Northern Wilderness City more than ten years ago, and he already had a great reputation, and now that he has returned, his cultivation is even more terrifying.
It made the current commander of the Taiyi Empire feel jealous, and he did not dare to attack rashly without a precise order from above.
In the city, in the city lord's house.
Because of the pressure of the Taiyi Empire's soldiers, Ye Qingchen did not talk about the old times with the White Dragon King too much, and discussed countermeasures to deal with the current situation in the mansion.
"What do you two boys think about this, I'm just a rough person, according to my own ideas, even if I stick to it, they won't be able to take the Northern Wilderness City within ten years. The White Dragon King said with a solemn voice, although his face was a little worried, he didn't feel how tricky it was.
After Ye Qingchen heard this, he shook his head slightly, and it seemed that he didn't agree with the White Dragon King's proposal.
"Hold on, the Taiyi Empire certainly has no way to take us. Ye Qingchen first affirmed the White Dragon King's words, and then continued: "However, our country is currently in the development stage, and we can't afford such consumption. ”
"Hey..."The White Dragon King also knew this truth, sighed helplessly, and finally waved his hands and said: "Come on, this won't work, then you see how to do it, you have a lot of ghost ideas, and my old dragon is only responsible for fighting." ”
After saying that, the White Dragon King also had a hard time thinking about it, sat back, and began to drink tea.
Ye Qingtian saw the White Dragon King like this, smiled slightly, and after thinking for a while, he asked out loud: "Uncle Long, who is the commander of the Taiyi Empire this time?"
Hearing this, the White Dragon King swallowed the tea in his mouth, and then replied with a somewhat surprised face: "It's strange to say, more than ten years ago, the people who led the troops to fight were all veterans, but now they are all young people, it seems that this is really the world of your young people now, the commander of the Taiyi Empire this time, the Qingchen boy may still know." ”
"I know?" Ye Qingchen was stunned for a while when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly appeared, "Uncle Long is talking about, Liu Hao, the ninth prince of the Taiyi Empire?"
The White Dragon King nodded and said: "This kid has a very good set of troops, and his cultivation is not bad, compared to Jian Chunqiu, he is much more powerful than Jian Chunqiu, if it weren't for the Northern Wilderness City to guard, just by arranging troops, I really wouldn't be his opponent." ”
In fact, there were many people Ye Qingchen knew in the Taiyi Empire. However, only this Nine Emperor Princes, Liu Hao, was the one he was most impressed with.
When his father was still guarding the Northern Wilderness City, he led the troops to fight Liu Hao.
At that time, both of them were young and vigorous, but they didn't get any bargains, but there was also a female general who was with Liu Hao at that time, and Ye Qingchen didn't know who it was.
However, when the Wuwang Mansion collapsed, after he crawled out of the dirt, he was surrounded by the soldiers of the Taiyi Empire, but it was the two of them who let him go.
In other words, Liu Hao still has kindness to Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingtian had been secretly observing the changes in his second brother's expression, and then stood up and said to everyone: "I also have some relationship with this Nine Emperor Prince, why don't you let me visit him as an envoy." Maybe we'll be able to get them out of the army?"
"No way!"
As soon as Ye Qingtian's words were finished, several people present refused at the same time.
"You can't be crazy, the Taiyi Empire hates you now, do you want to be a messenger and look for death?"
"Uncle Long is right, let me go, after all, I also have a certain friendship with Liu Hao. Ye Qingchen got up and said.
"Come on, you are now the king of martial arts, the commander of the frontier of the Northern Wilderness City, how can there be a reason for the commander to be the envoy, besides, the two armies are at war, and if you don't kill the envoy, it's so decided. Ye Qingtian waved his hand, and without waiting for a few people to refute, he took a step and left the City Lord's Mansion.
The White Dragon King wanted to chase him out, but Ye Qingtian was gone.
"This kid, why is it so fast. Are you still a monk of the King's Blood Realm?" the White Dragon King stood at the door with a burst of exclamation.
"Uncle Long didn't see it. Is Childe already in the True Martial Realm?" Qianhe slowly stepped forward and welcomed the White Dragon King back, with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice.
"True Martial Realm, good guy, when did it happen. The White Dragon King was extremely surprised in his heart, he hadn't gone to see Ye Qingtian's cultivation before, so he didn't know about it.
But this short thing broke through to the True Martial Realm, which was indeed shocking and incredible.
"Just a few days ago, after killing the Purple Lightning King and the Rain King, I had already broken through to the True Martial Realm. Chiha replied.
"Is this kid the reincarnation of the God Emperor? The White Dragon King returned to the main hall and muttered to himself.
The gate of the Northern Wilderness City was slowly opened, and Ye Qingtian, dressed in white, walked out of it.
In the distance, the scouts of the Taiyi Empire, who had been secretly observing, felt very puzzled when they saw the city gate suddenly open and a young man walked out of it.
After that, he hurried back to report the situation.
The army of the Taiyi Empire was stationed in the open space not far from the city, and it was huge in size, densely packed with tents that I don't know how many it had.
Ye Qingtian stood outside the fence of the barracks, surrounded by a group of soldiers, but he didn't make a move.
At this time, no one knows what this young man is here to do, if it is the son of the general above, they will act rashly, and the consequences will be very bad.
"Ye Qingtian, the envoy of the Yuan Kingdom, beg to see your commander, Liu Hao!"
Ye Qingtian said lightly.
When the soldiers heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then reacted and ran back to report.
Not long after, a general in full uniform walked out of the barracks, and when he saw Ye Qingtian, he didn't show too much emotion, and said, "Please." ”
Ye Qingtian smiled slightly, and followed the general into the barracks.
After a while, Ye Qingtian came to a huge military tent in the middle of the barracks, surrounded by guards, all of whom were well cultivated, and they were a powerful escort force.
Moreover, Ye Qingtian could clearly sense that there was a strong man in the military camp who was not weaker than the White Dragon King in the slightest.
Entering the military tent, it was already neatly arranged, and there was a man in his thirties sitting in the middle, dressed in gold armor, the same as Ye Qingchen, with a breath of blood, and there was a heroic aura between his eyebrows.
And next to him, there was an old man standing, Ye Qingtian couldn't see through it, the aura on his body was strong and he felt jealous, he was not weaker than the White Dragon King at all, and he was probably a strong man who had already entered the inspiration period with one foot.
"Ye Qingtian, you are so bold, you ruined the plan of my Taiyi Empire, and you even dared to come to my military camp as an envoy. ”
Seeing Ye Qingtian, Liu Hao directly scolded angrily, but when he saw Ye Qingtian, he only chuckled, and then his face changed, revealing a smile, "Come on, sit down." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two soldiers brought a chair and placed it behind Ye Qingtian.
"It seems that after all these days, the temperament of the Nine Emperor Princes has not changed much. ”
Ye Qingtian was not polite, he sat down directly, and said to Liu Hao with a smile.
"Sect Master Ye is still not surprised like this, hahaha. Liu Hao got up, hugged Ye Qingtian with a fist, left his position, and then turned around and asked, "Sect Master Ye is afraid that he is here to sit as a lobbyist this time." ”
Ye Qingtian didn't have any intention of refutating, and nodded, "But I didn't come as the sect master of the Qingtian Sect this time, but as the third prince of the Martial Prince's Mansion, just to discuss the matter of letting you withdraw from the army." ”
"Retreat?" Liu Hao knew it in his heart, but he still pretended to be very surprised, "Ye Gongzi is underestimating the combat effectiveness of my Taiyi Empire's army, are you afraid that I won't be able to take the Northern Wilderness City?"
"Isn't it?" Ye Qingtian knew that Liu Hao would never retreat so easily, "I don't have the slightest doubt about the combat effectiveness of your army, but I don't think there is any need to continue fighting between the two countries of the Yuan Kingdom and the Taiyi Empire." ”
"Oh?" Liu Hao was really stopped by Ye Qingtian's words this time, and couldn't help but smile, "Is it possible that you think that my Taiyi Empire can't swallow the Yuan Kingdom, the gap between the Taiyi Empire and the Yuan Kingdom, I believe Ye Gongzi knows it very well." ”
"It's very clear, what is the result?" Ye Qingtian nodded affirmatively, and then asked.
As a result, over the past few hundred years, the Taiyi Empire has attacked the Yuan Kingdom countless times, all of which have been in vain, not only have they not achieved any results, but have also consumed a lot of resources, and many people in the country have been extremely dissatisfied with this.
Liu Hao, as the Ninth Emperor of the Taiyi Empire, was naturally very clear about this, but hearing Ye Qingtian's words really made him extremely unhappy.
"I am confident that I will annex the Yuan Kingdom within ten years. Liu Hao's face sank, and he said to Ye Qingtian word by word.
"Heh..."Ye Qingtian chuckled, then stood up, "Since that's the case, there's nothing to talk about." ”
After speaking, Ye Qingtian walked towards the outside of the military tent, then stopped and said softly: "I can take back Yuanzhou in a few days, and I can also take Qingzhou County within a month, we will wait and see." ”
Qingzhou County, a state and county under the Taiyi Empire, was under the leadership of the Yuan State.
"Hmph, rampant!"
Hearing this, the old man who had been behind Liu Hao and had not spoken snorted coldly, glaring at Ye Qingtian angrily, and his whole body exuded a powerful coercion.
Ye Qingtian's whole body was shocked, he turned around, stared at the powerful coercion, and a real phoenix hissed behind him, but he didn't show his soul, he glanced at the old man coldly, and then stared at Liu Hao, "I don't think Princess Zile wants to see you and my second brother as enemies." ”
After speaking, Ye Qingtian left the barracks without looking back.
The roar of the phoenix just now made the old man behind Liu Hao only startled, his strength has reached this point of his, and his knowledge is not comparable to ordinary people.
The sound of the phoenix is very similar to the legendary real phoenix.
"Uncle Huang, what do you think about this matter!" Liu Hao calmed down and asked the old man behind him out loud.
"Ye Qingtian must not be an enemy of him, otherwise it will become a big disaster for our empire in the future!" the old man said loudly, without the slightest intention of underestimating Ye Qingtian.
"So, Uncle Huang, have you agreed to withdraw from the army?" Liu Hao looked a little disappointed, but it was true that as Ye Qingtian said just now, his imperial sister, Princess Zile, did not agree with him to lead troops to fight Ye Qingchen.
There is no other reason, it is all the fault of love.
"I think it's better to withdraw the army, and besides, the emperor doesn't want to continue to raise troops, maybe it's the best policy to make friends with the Yuan Kingdom. Moreover, Ye Qingtian had also helped Zile to cure his illness, which was a kindness to our Taiyi Empire, and the emperor had also given him a golden order with the word Heaven. ”
As the imperial uncle who usually dotes on him more than the Nine Emperor Sons, the old man knows that Liu Hao wants to make contributions and urgently needs to perform in front of the emperor.
But in his opinion, if he really fought a complete war with the Yuan Kingdom, the result would be the same as before, and nothing would be achieved.
In the past, the Yuan Kingdom had Ye Nanfeng who was able to resist the invasion of their Taiyi Empire, but later the Wuwang Mansion was destroyed, and they took the opportunity to obtain the territory of the two states, but after more than ten years, Ye Qingchen suddenly appeared again
and Ye Qingtian, the two brothers, took back the two states of the snow field without much effort, not to mention, even the commander of the army, Jian Chunqiu, was captured.
And now Liu Hao does not have this ability, he has too little experience, Liu Hao has always lived in the royal family, and Ye Qingchen also grew up in the military camp since he was a child, Ye Qingtian died at the age of eight, but later became the sect master of Qingtian Sect, and the ghost knows what he went through.
In addition, they eradicated the four princes before, recaptured the Northern Wilderness City without blood, controlled the entire Yuanzhou, and completely defeated their Taiyi Empire veteran Jian Chunqiu, these things, even their entire Taiyi Empire could not find one, let alone the current Liu Hao.
Thinking of this, the old man was also shocked in his heart, he now almost believed that Ye Qingtian could take Qingzhou County within a month just now.
"In that case, let's retire. Liu Hao sighed helplessly.
He had been in contact with Ye Qingtian for a while, and he clearly knew how big the gap was between him and Ye Qingtian.
In addition, his beloved imperial sister has never forgotten Ye Qingchen since he met him more than ten years ago, and for his imperial sister, as his elder brother, it is nothing to make a little sacrifice.
"You don't have to be too frustrated, I believe that if you withdraw this time, the emperor will not only not blame you, but may also be impressed with you. The old man didn't want to hit Liu Hao too much, touched the beard on his chin, and said with a smile.
"Uncle Huang, don't make fun of me. Liu Hao said in a low voice, not believing the old man's words.
"Hehe, then let's watch it when I go home. The old man didn't have too much to worry about at this time, according to the eyes of the emperor, it was impossible not to see what Ye Qingtian was doing during this time.
