Chapter 63: Tribal Tribute
"Shizi! A total of seventeen tribes in the mountains and forests have come to pay tribute, and they are already on their way. ”
Wei Zhang shouted at the city with great joy.
Qin Yu dragged his chin and thought for a while.
"Tell the people below that all the gifts that come to pay tribute will be accepted, but they must be given back tenfold!"
"In addition, let each tribe select ten of the strongest men to stay with the son of the world as guards, preferably the sons of the chiefs of each tribe."
Wei Zhang immediately understood what Qin Yu meant, and immediately went to do it.
Then Qin Yu turned around and patted Red Feather on the shoulder.
"You go and prepare immediately, and load all the various treasures that Mr. Hanhai brought from the Western Regions."
Red Feather didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and retreated in response.
Two hours later, a team of 30,000 people stopped at the foot of Jiamu City.
Qin Yu was wearing bright silver armor and rode in front of the army.
Just by simply sweeping the two phalanxes, Qin Yu's heart rose with the aura of dominating the world.
If the truce takes such a large army and marches north to Beiliang, maybe Beiliang will be destroyed by now.
"Shizi!" Wei Xian rode his horse to the front: "There are still 50,000 troops that have been assembled, and they can go on the road after the armor and weapons are distributed." ”
Qin Yu was very satisfied and nodded.
"Old general, you can't do without people here, so you will take the rest of the men and horses to guard here."
After a few words, Qin Yu led the army south.
Outside Blackwater City, Zhang Feng turned in a circle with his hands in place, his face full of anxiety.
It didn't take long for the two messengers to hurry up to them.
I don't know if it's a long journey, or if it's really urgent, as soon as the two people stopped, they fell off their horses, took out the letter from their bodies in a panic and handed it over.
Zhang Fengduan's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter.
The moment he opened it, his face changed suddenly.
"Oh my God, it's just winter, such a big thing has happened in the imperial city, and the new emperor has ascended the throne, we don't know it."
One of the messengers staggered to his feet and pulled out a specially made iron block token from his body.
"It won't be long before a large number of prisoners arrive here."
"It's just that the route this time is a bit off, and adults need to go to the western grasslands to pick them up."
Zhang Fengdu's eyes were full of doubt, and he immediately raised his hand and grabbed the messenger's shoulder.
"Why don't you leave Liaodong Avenue and go to the grassland?"
"There are swamps all over the place, and there are even more wild beasts and wild people, and there are not many prisoners alive here!"
The messenger gasped for air.
"Many of these people are friendly with the King of Jingbei, if they arrive in Shengrui City, I am afraid they will be intercepted by the King of Jingbei."
Zhang Fengduan nodded again and again, when it came to this, he didn't want to ask more, so he immediately arranged it.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from not far away.
A procession of hundreds of people rushed in full gear.
Zhang Fengduan suddenly frowned, and immediately sent someone to intercept him.
But when the distance between the men came closer, he froze in place.
The armor and weapons worn by everyone turned out to be the standard of Jingbei Palace.
The Zhonglang general, led by everyone, didn't care about everyone's obstruction, and directly crossed over and arrived in front of Zhang Fengduan.
"Lord Zhang, right?"
"The prince will be there soon, and he will sweep the streets immediately to greet him, and he must not be lazy."
As he spoke, he took out a jade plaque from his body and threw it over.
Zhang Fengduan's body trembled violently.
"Little general, how many troops are there around the prince? I'm going to be ready for anything. ”
The Zhonglang snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.
"My family can use your hospitality, and besides, what will you do to entertain the army of the prince in your tattered Blackwater City?"
"Just clear the snow from both sides of the road!"
Zhang Fengduan was stunned in place like a stone statue, what is the army of the prince?
Before he could react, the earth rumbled, and not far away there was snow.
It didn't take long for an elite army of heavily armed men to arrive.
The area of Qi Brush was extremely oppressive, and even the slaves on the side of the road unconsciously knelt on the ground.
Qin Yu rode his horse and quickly arrived in front of Zhang Fengduan.
"Long time no see, Master Zhang."
"It seems that your life here is quite nourishing, just one winter, just raising such a fat head and big ears."
Zhang Fengduan reacted at this time and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Xiaguan has seen the son!"
Qin Yu ignored this guy, and just focused his gaze on the messenger next to him.
"You two are the imperial court's eight-hundred-mile expedited?"
The two of them didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Back to the world, the two of us are palace guards!"
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, turned over and dismounted to the two of them.
"The palace guards shouldn't have come to this place to play, could it be that something big happened in the imperial city?"
The eyes of the two were a little evasive, and they couldn't say why.
Qin Yu didn't care so much, and directly beckoned to the guards behind him.
Then the clothes of the two forbidden soldiers were turned upside down, and even Zhang Duanfeng was not spared.
When a few letters were delivered to Qin Yu, his breathing became rapid.
"The emperor is dead, and the new emperor is on the throne!"
"This is impossible, when the prince left the imperial city last year, His Majesty's body was still strong, why did he suddenly die?"
As soon as these words came out, the bodies of the two forbidden soldiers trembled violently, and Qin Yu keenly caught the abnormality.
"It seems that there is another secret in this, come on, hang these two guys."
The two of them immediately panicked and hurriedly took out Ouchi's gold medal from their bodies.
"We can walk in front of the emperor, isn't the prince afraid of offending the two of us if he treats me like this?"
Qin Yu's face was full of disdain, since the day he beat the prince and poisoned him, he had the intention of rebelling.
Now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, I am afraid that he will be wiped out, and even the Jingbei Royal Mansion will not be spared.
There is no choice but to rebel!
"This is not an imperial city, it is not your turn to be presumptuous!"
Several guards had already stepped forward and dragged the two Janissaries aside, whipping them off.
Qin Yu put away the letter in his hand, and then looked at Zhang Fengduan with a smile.
"Lord Zhang, since the new emperor has ascended the throne, this prince thinks that you have been here for too long, and it should come to an end."
These words are confusing to others, and there seems to be no connection between the two, but they can be heard by Zhang Fengduan, but you are like the end of the world, making his body tremble violently.
"Shizi, what do you mean by that?"
"My eldest brother is the prime minister of the dynasty, and I am also a serious county guard here, and no one can remove me from my post without His Majesty's will."
Qin Yu laughed, and then patted Zhang Fengduan's shoulder.
"Lord Zhang, I'm not removing you, but cutting off your head!"
