05 Commitment

Yu Yao was a little surprised that Qing Zhan dared to be disrespectful to the deceit, in his opinion, as the 'Imperial Dear Group', the young monarch should regard the deity as a sacred duty, but he didn't expect that the young monarch in front of him would have this attitude, even so, how could he easily trust the other party, he took out a roll of juan silk from his sleeve, and handed it to Xiang Qingzhan respectfully with both hands.

"Dare to ask Lord Yu Yao, what does this mean?"

"Today's matter is entrusted by the old minister, and there is no doubt about the young king's trust, but the lord's affairs are urgent, and there must be no mistakes, so he boldly wrote the "Jun Certificate" to the young monarch. ”

Qing Zhan looked at Yu Yao for a long time and smiled deeply, "Since Lord Yu Yao is so loyal, how can I give you a will?" ”

Yu Yao suddenly knelt down and bowed down in front of Qing Zhan, "The minister is the lord, thank you for the people of Chiyan City!" ”

Qing Zhan pointed a little to the right, and turned into a light pen, he wrote on the silk silk: "The city of Chiyan, the demonic root species, human nature is subverted, the city lord does not obey humanity, does not care for the common people, and is ultimately used by traitors, the demon possesses, reverses the nature, and makes the subjects live in fire and water, the monarch should have taken away the position of the city lord, but if he still has a good heart of repentance, after removing the demons, he will leave the position of the city lord, and he will be prepared for the common people, treat all creatures well, and prove it!" After he finished writing, he handed it to Yu Yao, and Yu Yao read the whole book, all of which were reprimanding the city lord, but in the end, it was the book that made it clear what he wanted, and Yu Yao put his mind at ease.

Qing Zhan's thick eyebrows frowned, and he hurriedly brushed his sleeves and turned around: "It's time for you to say something to me!" ”

Yu Yao stood up, took out a silk book from his cuffs, and respectfully presented it to Qing Zhan with both hands, who took it and unfolded it.

The silk scroll is more than three feet long, and the first part records the number of people's names, the middle is some gold and silver account counts, and the last record is the number of some strange names and demons.

"What does that mean?" Qing Zhan had a headache for this thing like a book from heaven.

Yu Yao walked into Qing Zhan's side, took the silk book, pointed to the place where the number of people was written in front of him, and said: "These are prisoners who have been arrested for their crimes, and the Lord has set a strict decree, resulting in tens of thousands of people being arrested as prisoners every year. ”

"I'm not in the mood to ask about your tyranny at this time." Qing Zhan couldn't understand what Yu Yao meant.

"These prisoners will all be sent to the 'Northern Flame Land', ostensibly for hard labor, but in fact they have other plans, why do they need so many people to serve? What's more, these prisoners all seem to be carefully selected, either strong or strategic, if these tens of thousands of prisoners are formed into an army, how does Qingzhan Shaojun feel? ”

Qing Zhan, who had always been calm, was suddenly stunned, but quickly regained his original demeanor, "Let the prisoners form an army, this is a good way to hide people's eyes, so what is behind this?" ”

Yu Yao pointed to the middle counts and said: "This is the tax collected every year, according to the Lord's order, the people all receive fifty percent of the tax profits, but thirty percent of the tax revenue is missing." He pointed to some strange characters at the end, "This is the land of strangers in Beicheng, it is dedicated to the dwelling of demon beasts and the like, and in the past three years, hundreds of demon beasts have been taken out of Beicheng every year and sent to the 'Northern Flame Land', as well as the demons of the 'Forbidden Demon Prison', the same is true, although it is ostensibly to use demon beasts as labor, but isn't it a riding beast that has been trained to become a soldier?" ”

As if he was being caught, Qing Zhan had a feeling that he couldn't escape, his long black hair was dancing silently under the wind, and there was a trace of inexplicable weirdness hidden under his cold eyes, he leaned back slightly, and said, "The most important thing is Lord Josuke, who seems to have forgotten to say it." ”

Yu Yao took a deep breath, as if the answer Qing Zhan wanted made him feel very grief-stricken, he closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "General Kongjing!" ”

The air seemed to be condensed in Qing Zhan's smile, making Yu Yao look so suffocating and uncomfortable, Qing Zhan approached Yu Yao, stretched out his hand and suddenly clasped his wrist vein, his technique was incisive, even a master like Lu You may not be able to hide, let alone a powerless person like Yu Yao, but Yu Yao still knew that his life was already pinched in the palm of Qing Zhan's hand.

"Isn't it that Lord Josuke-sama hates General Kuyasu, so you want to borrow my hand to get rid of him?" The distance between the two was so close, so close that his long hair couldn't help brushing Yu Yao's face, it seemed to be a kind of teasing, a kind of oppressive torture.

Yu Yao didn't move at all, but said coldly: "Shaojun also looks down on me Yu Yao, since he doesn't believe in Weichen's words, why don't Shaojun take the old man's arm away from it, so as to make a record." Instead, he put his hand in front of Qing Zhan, as if Qing Zhan would have a hard time proving his innocence if he didn't do so.

The corners of Qing Zhan's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a weird smile, he let go of Yu Yao's hand, and said lazily: "It's so difficult to make a joke with Lord Chengfu, it's really boring." He walked to the guardrail and looked north, "And where is that headache 'Northern Flameland'?" ”

Yu Yao pointed to a red ridge under the cover of heavy mountains and mountains, the mountain range seemed to be wrapped in fireworks, like purgatory against the background of the surrounding green forest, the red ridge seemed to absorb people's souls, even Qing Zhan felt a little cold, he turned his back, did not want to look there again, and went straight downstairs. Seeing that he didn't say a word, Yu Yao couldn't help asking, "I don't know what Shaojun's plans are?" ”

Qing Zhan stretched out his arms and made a lazy and tired appearance, "From yesterday to now, I haven't rested for a moment, Lord Josuke-sama won't be so considerate, it seems that I still have to remind you, it's time now." ”

There is a rule in the city that at three o'clock is the time of the court, and all officials must not delay their resignation without undue delay, otherwise they will be sent to the 'forbidden prison' for the crime of neglecting the court's deliberations.

Obviously, this is just a pretext, but Qing Zhan is the young monarch of the royal city, even if Yu Yao is urgent, he doesn't dare to be rude in front of him, he stands in place for a long time, maybe for him, the unpredictable young monarch in front of him is more worrying, I don't know if this person can be trusted, if so, why is it like this?

"Weichen will return to the city, after the court meeting, he still needs to bother Shaojun to meet with one person!" Yu Yao pleaded.

"This person actually wants to let Lord Josuke come to invite him personally, it can be seen that his identity is not ordinary, in this Chiyan City, I don't know who else can make Lord Josuke bend and plead, besides your city lord?"

"Actually, he Shaojun has already seen it, and thanks to Shaojun coming forward to save him, otherwise the old minister would really be ashamed of the ancestors." Yu Yao was already sad when he said this.

"Oh? Shame on the ancestors? It seems that this person's identity is not ordinary, so why don't Josuke-sama say it directly? Qing Zhan's eyes shone brightly, as if he had already thought about who he would be.

"It's my guard who rescued the young gentleman at last night's feast." His face suddenly became solemn, "But in fact, he is the young master Xuanming who was exiled by the lord ten years ago. ”

Although Qing Zhan guessed that the identity of the other party must not be simple, he did not expect that the guard with the broken arm turned out to be the young master of Chiyan City, and it seemed that he had underestimated him.

"So, is Josuke-sama disobeying the Lord's orders and welcoming him back to Chiyan City?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and hostility in Qing Zhan's tone.
