"The guilty minister greets Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Wu Qinglin saluted to the emperor's father and son.

The crown prince Liu Rong said angrily: "Master Du Tianguo, you are now a famous person, and my father and I can't afford this ceremony." ”

Wu Qinglin said with a straight face: "Your Highness has killed the criminal ministers! I shouldn't have led my men to Daqin to help Marquis Wu Ying without asking Your Majesty." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, although Wu Qinglin came to confess his guilt on the surface, he did not have the attitude he should have when he confessed.

Obviously, he didn't feel like he was doing anything wrong.

It's no wonder that the Han Dynasty has always suppressed the sect, although the high-ranking people are given titles, but strictly speaking, they are still a group of Jianghu people, and they are not affiliated with the imperial court.

"Master Du Tianguo, you know very well what kind of person I am, so don't say greetings and kind words. Emperor Zhengse said: "Let's talk about the point directly, how are Yun Yang and Princess Yuying now?"

The corners of Wu Qinglin's mouth rose slightly, and Ye Yunyang specially explained before he came back, so that he could show neither humility nor arrogance when he saw the emperor, and he could pass the test smoothly.

He replied: "Junior Brother is very good, he is now a martial artist of the Bright Sky Realm, and Princess Yuying has also made great progress, now is the color reading period of the Enlightenment Realm, and it won't take long to impact the Gathering God Realm." ”

For the first time in such a long time, when I heard the exact news of my precious granddaughter, the big stone in the emperor's heart finally landed.

Wu Qinglin continued: "Before the criminal minister came back, the ghost-faced concubine specially explained, saying that he was willing to reconcile with the big Han, which is also the meaning of the little junior brother, I hope Your Majesty will grant permission!"

The emperor was happy and said, "This father and son are really a pair of foxes! The Ghost Face Legion is at odds with the Great Qin Emperor, and they will immediately come to the Great Han as a backer, Prince, do you think I should refuse?"

The prince pretended to say: "Of course you have to refuse, you can't let their father and son take advantage of all the good things, others only have a greedy share, why!"

Wu Qinglin hurriedly said: "The ghost-faced horse sincerely wants to form an alliance with the Great Han, he was originally a Han Chinese, he was excluded by the military at the beginning, and he worked for the Great Qin by chance, although he has been an enemy of the Great Han for so many years, but after all, we are sorry for him first, so the guilty minister feels that His Majesty should consider it." ”

The emperor laughed: "Master Du Tianguo, you are too unqualified as a lobbyist! The Ghost Face Legion wants to form an alliance with the Great Han, and it is too late for me to be happy, how can I refuse, do you think I am as mediocre as Emperor Qin, such a small-bellied chicken intestine?"

Wu Qinglin was overjoyed: "You agreed? Great, do you think the matter of the little junior brother's wanted warrant is also ......?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "After the two sides sign a formal agreement, Yun Yang's wanted notice will naturally be invalidated." Prince, you are personally going to supervise this matter, people are in a difficult time, so we will try our best to meet the requirements put forward by the Ghost Face Army. ”

This is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts, and the emperor will certainly not miss it.

"Yes. ”

......

Outside Beiyang City, Ye Yunyang had been waiting for a quarter of an hour.

The city guard in a dark blue official uniform climbed the city wall, pointed at Ye Yunyang with the people around him for a while, and then said, "Who is coming, what is the matter with this official?"

Ye Yunyang said loudly: "I am Ye Yunyang, the young marshal of the Ghost Face Legion, and I have come to Beiyang City as a guest, and by the way, I want two things from the city guard. ”

He said yes, not borrowing.

It is completely different from borrowing, although it is easier to achieve the purpose by using a borrowed word, it will have to be repaid later.

If you want words, it's different, you can return it if you want to, and you don't want to pull it down.

The castle guard frowned: "What is it?"

The abduction of the Qin Emperor and the escape of the ghost-faced horse have long been not news in the territory of Great Qin, although Beiyang City is located in the north, but as the highest official of a city, the news of the city guard is very well-informed.

Ye Yunyang is the son of the ghost-faced horse, and it is reasonable to call himself a young marshal.

"Silver and grain. Ye Yunyang replied.

The city guard was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Ye Yunyang, are you crazy? And regardless of your Han identity, even if you represent the Ghost Face Legion, you are not qualified to collect silver money and grain from this city! Beiyang City belongs to the Great Qin Empire, and only obeys the orders of the emperor himself, you want money and food, okay, go to the emperor first to ask for the holy decree, as long as the emperor nods, even if you empty all the warehouses in the city, this official will not blink an eye." ”

This is clearly a prevarication, prevaricating Ye Yunyang.

Everyone in the world knows that the ghost-faced concubine and Princess Luo Yue are at odds with the emperor, and the two sides have reached the point of endless death, and the emperor has ordered to cut off the food and military salaries of the ghost-faced army.

In the distance, Ying Qi's face was full of helpless smiles.

Ye Yunyang was not angry at all, and said: "Lord City Guard, you should know the current situation of the Ghost Face Legion, if there is no food and military salary, the soldiers will have to go hungry, and there will be no money to support their families, in this case, the soldiers will mutiny." In order to avoid this from happening, we can only come here to ask the city guard for help, and ask the lord to pull us for the sake of the soldiers being the children of Great Qin. ”

The castle guard smiled, laughed very presumptuously, and said, "What if the official doesn't help?"

Ye Yunyang shrugged: "Then I'm sorry, the hungry soldiers will do everything, and when the time comes, they will rush into your Beiyang City and loot it." ”

The city guard raised his head, looked at the cavalry phalanx in the distance, and said with a sneer: "With this little bit of men and horses you brought, you also want to enter the city to rob?" Don't dream, this official can tell you very responsibly that back then, 100,000 Rongdi people besieged the city, shouting that there would be no chickens and dogs left on the day the city was broken, but what was the result? Not only were they stopped under the city by my strong defenders, but in the end they could only roll back to their hometown in disgrace!"

Ye Yunyang also sneered: "The Ghost Face Army is composed of Qin people, of course they will not attack the cities of Great Qin, but I am different, this young marshal is a Han Chinese, and I will not be polite to you." ”

The city guard laughed even more presumptuously: "Why, listening to the young marshal's meaning, is it to break through the city with his own strength? This official must admit that this is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life!"

Ye Yunyang said coldly: "I won't be stupid enough to attack the city alone, this young marshal pursues the principle of shooting people first, shooting horses, and capturing thieves and capturing kings first, and only for you alone." Teachers and nephews, you can do it!"

The words fell, and three figures flashed.

Before the city guards could figure out what was going on, they were already standing on the roof of the city gate building, and when they came back to their senses, they found that they had been kidnapped by three high-level martial artists.

Ye Yunyang continued: "The three of them are my nephews, and they are all Yaokong Realm martial artists, so Lord City Guard should not resist uselessly. Now there are two ways before you, the first is to open the city gate obediently and let my people in, and this young marshal promises to take only the grain and silver money from your official warehouse, and will not do any offence against the people and merchants. Second, kill you and then open the city gate, and this young marshal led his subordinates to rush in and ransack Beiyang City. ”

The city guard was terrified, he thought that the city defense was not a problem, but he ignored his own safety, mainly because he didn't expect Ye Yunyang to have a master by his side.

Seeing that he was silent, Ye Yunyang said again: "Give you three minutes to think about it, whether to take the initiative to open the door to welcome guests, or to take the people of the whole city to burn the jade, you have to think about it." I might as well remind you that this young marshal is not from Qin, so he will not be polite to you, that is to say, I can do everything. ”

The latter words are threatening and effective.

Three minutes later, the gates opened on the left and right.

The city guard was full of helplessness, if he was just robbed of the official warehouse, he could find a reason to say that the ghost face army was powerful, and the five thousand city defense troops could not compete with it.

Even the emperor was defeated by the ghost-faced horse in the end, and he was just a small city guard, so it was normal to suffer a little loss.

If even the houses and businesses were looted, he would not be able to account for it.

Seeing the opening of the city gate, Ying Qi was taken aback: "Is this okay?

Ye Yunyang rode his horse and ran over, and said solemnly: "Of course there is a difference, this is called saluting first and then soldiering, and it can also be called convincing people with virtue." ”

"Convince people with virtue?" Ying Qi's eyes widened: "Don't tarnish this word, your skin is too thick!"

Ye Yunyang shrugged: "No matter what the process is, now that the gate of Beiyang City is wide open, you lead the soldiers over, let 10,000 people climb the city wall to monitor the defenders, and the other 20,000 people are responsible for carrying grain, grass and money." When the convoy is far away, the 10,000 people in charge of surveillance will be withdrawn. ”

Ying Qi nodded: "Listen to you!"

Beiyang City is indeed a rich place, hoarding grain with millions of stones, which can be eaten by the Ghost Mask Army for three months, and the spring tax that has just been collected is also as much as one million taels, plus the inventory left over from previous years, which can add up to two months' military salary for the army.

Hundreds of cars formed a huge convoy and left Beiyang City in a mighty way.

Ye Yunyang patted the city guard on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't feel distressed, it's not your family's money anyway, just report it to the emperor truthfully." When the autumn harvest comes, we will come here as guests, and I hope that when the time comes, it will be you, an adult, who will greet me, so I don't need to send it, and I will say goodbye. ”

After saying that, he flew down the city wall and took 10,000 soldiers away.

The city guard gritted his teeth with hatred, and one of his subordinates suggested: "My lord, should we go out of the city to chase and snatch back the lost money and food?"

The city guard rounded his arm and gave him a big mouth, and scolded: "You are stupid, there are 30,000 people, and all of them are cavalry, and we only have 5,000 infantry, and we can chase other people's four legs with two legs? ”

Over the next few days, the same situation played out in the surrounding cities.

Soon, the food in the Ghost Face Legion's garrison was piled up, and the military salary was even more so that it could be paid to the year after next.

After the grain and grass problem was solved, Ye Yunyang decided to go to the south to have a look, Ye Feng disagreed, saying that the Han Emperor had not revoked the wanted warrant, and it would be dangerous to go to the Nanban Mansion at this time.

Ye Yunyang disagreed, the main commander of the army in Nanban was Yin Falcon, with his care, plus Zheng Zhiyuan and the three of them, security was not a problem.

He personally piloted the flying wing that came from Dahan, took Dongfang Yixue and Liu Yuying, and three bodyguards who didn't want money, flew directly from the northern border into the territory of Dahan, and then flew all the way to the south.

Chen Shilai was left here, on the one hand, to take care of the big ships moored at sea, and on the other hand, to be responsible for the communication between father and son.
