Xiao Chengze and the others beat gongs and drums all the way, and indeed many people came out to watch, but because they had never seen the emperor, and they didn't know if the person in front of them was lying, everyone didn't dare to squeak. After walking in this circle, no one dared to stand up and join their team.

At the critical time, Yang Shibalang has to play a more effective role.

Yang Shibalang can be regarded as a local parent official, so. Even if the people don't trust Xiao Chengze and Zhou Yunyi, they will trust Yang Shibalang.

Yang Shibalang rode a high-headed horse and followed Xiao Chengze, and his life looked heroic, and many people realized that it might be true after looking at Yang Shibalang, and one of them knelt down with His Majesty the Emperor.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Immediately after that, one or two more people knelt down together, shouting Long live the emperor.

Xiao Chengze looked at everyone: "I don't know if any of you are willing to join the army and return this world to peace." ”

S surnames, look at me, I see that no one dares to speak out and say that they want to be soldiers, after all, they are stable, and their lives are long, so they don't want to go to this kind of worrying thing, besides, ordinary people go to be soldiers, generally pick up strong bodies, ordinary merchants like them, farmers as soldiers, that is not to let the other party as a sandbag.

Yang Shibalang saw that the effect was not very good, so he also stood up and gave a passionate speech. "The husband's self-cultivation should govern the country and level the world. Now, when the country is in trouble, how can you be a turtle with a shrunken head in peace? You must know that under the nest, Ann has finished eggs. ”

"Your Majesty came to Stone Town to recruit soldiers, also because you trust the people of our Stone Town, at this moment there are some people who have become chaotic ministers and thieves, but Your Majesty has given us a chance to become warriors who will go down in history in the future."

After Yang Shibalang's speech, sure enough, a few young and strong people stood up and were willing to serve the country, and then a few middle-aged men stood up and expressed their willingness to join.

Zhou Yunyi saw that it was really effective, so he laughed happily, and then hurriedly asked people to write down all the names of these people, and along the way, he really collected thousands of soldiers, but the ages of these people are a little uneven, but for them who lack medical records, it is already a good result, and now the number of ice can barely get together about 40,000, although compared to the 100,000 troops stationed in the capital, it is not an advantage, But it's several times more than their original 5,000 people.

Xiao Chengze looked at the newly recruited soldiers and decided to hand over the right to train soldiers and the right to lead soldiers to Yang Shibalang, but of course he also kept an eye on Wang Shi to be Yang Shibalang's deputy general and always follow him, both to help and monitor.

After this period of training, Wang Shi has gradually changed from the original guard to a general, although he lacks some experience on the battlefield, but his basic quality is not bad. If you stay with Yang Shibalang for a few years, you will be able to stand alone in the future.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." Xiao Chengze sighed.

"What east wind?" Zhou Yunyi became curious, after all, Xiao Chengze had never mentioned it, and there were any other places that needed to be prepared or help with manpower and material resources.

"You'll know when the time comes." Xiao Chengze also deliberately played a riddle.

Zhou Yunyi thought to himself when it was, and the two of them still had to guess, but since Xiao Chengze said that having Dongfeng must be something meaningful to them, as long as this Dongfeng can be in place. Zhou Yunyi no longer pursued what this Dongfeng was.

They rested in Stone City for two days, and then they were ready to march to the capital Xiao Chengtian, who was in a daze in the capital, had also received the news and learned that they had entered Stone City and that Yang Shibalang had taken refuge in Xiao Chengze.

After Xiao Chengtian learned about this, he was very angry, and immediately found General Yang, the Yang family supported Xiao Chengtian in the initial struggle for the throne, but later after he was named the king of Liwang and was assigned to a very distant fief, he gradually broke off contacts, in fact, this can't be blamed on the Yang family, after all, if he still maintains a certain relationship with King Li at that time, it is very likely that he will be directly eliminated by Xiao Chengze.

General Yang was very unhurried when he learned that his son had taken refuge in Xiao Chengze, and for him, Yang Shibalang's approach now is more in line with his mind.

Xiao Chengtian now seems to be in full swing, holding heavy troops in his hand is almost all the hope of victory, but he always feels in his heart that Xiao Chengze will not give up so easily, in case Xiao Chengtian fails, this world is still Xiao Chengze's world.

At that time, the entire Yang family will usher in a catastrophe, if Yang Shibalang helps Xiao Chengze to win, then he will also leave a few lives for the Yang family in his face.

On the contrary, if Xiao Chengtian can really become the emperor in the future and sit on the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, then their Yang family will be a hero, just losing a son, they can keep the glory and wealth of the next tens of millions of generations. It's also a good deal.

Xiao Chengtian waited in the study until General Yang entered the door, and scolded directly before he could close the door. "Your good son has now taken refuge in Xiao Chengze, and 20,000 troops are directly in his hands."

General Yang knelt down directly, "It's a minister and a godson, but why should Your Majesty pay attention to the 20,000 troops?" ”

Xiao Chengtian has not officially boarded the plane yet, nor has he held any ceremonies, but General Yang and some ministers privately call her His Majesty in order to make her happy. Xiao Chengtian also ate this set, and when he heard His Majesty shouted by others, he was happy, so he acquiesced.

"20,000 troops, I swear not to pay attention to it, but I can't swallow this breath." Xiao Chengtian said, "You said that if your youngest son comes to our city another day, who will I send to fight?" ”

"Whoever Your Majesty wants to send to fight, then whoever will inevitably go to fight." Xiao Chengtian said: "If I send you out to fight, I don't know if you will be willing to do it?" ”

"Naturally, I am willing to do it." General Yang replied neatly, he simply couldn't show a little pity for his son at this time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to leave the gate of the palace today.

One of the main reasons why Situ Zheng won Xiao Chengtian and others in the first place was because he seriously injured Situ Rou, otherwise he would have suddenly rebelled because Situ Zheng had been standing in Xiao Chengze's camp for so many years. Xiao Chengtian will definitely not believe it.

General Yang's attitude can be regarded as sincere, Xiao Chengtian couldn't hold any of his handles, so he scolded him and knelt him in the study, and he was not allowed to leave until it was dark.

Xiao Chengtian came out of the study and went around to the harem to see Zhou Lingyi's mother and daughter.

Since the last incident, he has also burned his heart to Zhou Lingyi's mother and daughter, and no longer cares about them as before, but takes them to a place where they are served by the palace maids and eunuchs, and they will come over every two days to see if there is any abuse of them.

Zhou Lingyi has experienced so many things, and now she is completely disappointed in Xiao Chengtian, and she doesn't expect her to be a good husband and father. Now, she has no rights when she is locked up in the palace, and she can only rely on her daughter for her life.

Zhou Lingyi's only wish now is that her daughter can grow up safely and healthily, and as for Xiao Chengtian, he no longer asks for anything.

After Xiao Chengtian got married, the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs all knew each other and withdrew. Zhou Lingyi just sat on the bed with the child in her arms, gently shaking her hand to coax the child to sleep, Zhou Lingyi hadn't spoken for a long time, and she didn't just talk to Xiao Chengtian or any palace maid and eunuch, she just held her daughter and shook it every day.

Xiao Chengtian thought he was poisoned and dumb at first. After the doctor checked his condition, he realized that he was just depressed and unwilling to speak. When Xiao Chengtian heard this result, he was even more angry, thinking that he did it on purpose.

Xiao Chengtian lost his temper at that time, and smashed all the miscellaneous things in the room. Zhou Lingyi looked at the irritable Xiao Chengtian, and could only huddle in the corner with the child in his arms alone, crying.

Zhou Lingyi is much calmer now, there is no stress reaction, just she doesn't speak, and she doesn't have any facial expressions, looking like a hollowed-out shell.

"You're going to be like this forever."

Xiao Chengtian looked at Zhou Lingyi and felt angry when he lowered his head and didn't speak. Before, no matter what he said or did, Zhou Lingyi would stand behind him and support him, but now it has become an elm pimple.

Zhou Lingyi still didn't speak.

Xiao Chengtian slammed the door directly, such an ignorant woman didn't need to bother with him, anyway, he had a woman, she immediately went to find Song Yueran.

Song Yueran's last time he made trouble, in the end, it turned into a big thing, a small matter, and it was over. In addition, Song Yueran is very good at coaxing men to be happy, and a few words brought Xiao Chengtian to the sky. Xiao Chengtian is naturally willing to stay here with a woman who is both beautiful and interesting.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"Of course, I'm here to see my concubine."

The two of them have been immersed in this kind of cosplay.

"Xiao Chengze has arrived in Stone City, I don't know if the nobleman's side is ready, how to deal with him?"

"Of course, your majesty can rest assured. Everything is arranged. Song Yueran smiled and put a grape in Xiao Chengtian's mouth. What's in your mind? You don't need to spend money to wait for the emperor with peace of mind. ”

"Your Excellency, although I am relieved. Just like before, I would never have thought that the noble man would be able to ask General Situ to submit to my disciples. Xiao Chengtian was eating grapes while hugging Song Yueran.
