However, he said that Huang Youcheng, the city lord of Guijiang City, had the intention of bribing, and Ye Jingqiu had come to knock him out, so he naturally laughed at it.

Ye Jingqiu's divine sense swept over the ring handed over by Huang Youcheng and found that it contained five thousand jade crystals.

Ye Jingqiu knew that this Huang Youcheng wanted to get closer to him, but why did he come here to pretend to be a marshal this time? Isn't it just to knock him off? Now that he took the initiative to send it, how could he not accept it? So Ye Jingqiu smiled slightly:

"Yellow City Lord, these five thousand jade crystals, although it is not much, but it is rare for the city lord to be so kind, and I don't want to chill the heart of the Yellow City Lord, but it is disrespectful. ”

Huang Youcheng heard this, and said in his heart that you, the marshal of the Divine Sect, really have a lot of appetite! His heart ached, mainly not because he felt five thousand jade crystals, but because he felt the pain storage ring. This thing is worth a lot more than five thousand jade crystals.

Naturally, Huang Youcheng hoped in his heart that Ye Jingqiu could be a little more generous with the marshal of the Divine Sect, just accept the jade crystal, and not even swallow his ring. Thinking so in his heart, he said:

"Marshal Ye, thanks to you for looking down on the lower officials, although the five thousand jade crystals are a little less, but when you return to the city, the lower officials will give another five thousand jade crystals. ”

What made Huang Youcheng feel a little relieved was that Ye Jingqiu's divine sense turned and took out five thousand jade crystals and put them into his ring, without swallowing his storage ring.

Of course, Huang Youcheng saw five thousand jade crystals come out of his ring all of a sudden, and disappeared all at once, as for what Ye Jingqiu's storage ring was like, Huang Youcheng didn't even see it. This made Huang Youcheng sigh in his heart:

The characters of the gods, this method of collecting money is really extraordinary!

The two talked all the way, and under the escort of five hundred city guards, they came to Guijiang City.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Huang Youcheng ordered the musicians to advocate into the city.

After entering the city, of the five hundred city guards, four hundred people turned back to the barracks, and the remaining 100 people, hugging from front to back, escorted Ye Jingqiu and the city lord to the city lord's mansion.

After entering the house and sitting down, the two had a few simple conversations, and Huang Youcheng ordered one after another:

Prepare fragrant soup for the marshal to bathe!

The quartermaster quickly sent the marshal's uniform!

The steward of the City Lord's Mansion quickly prepared civilian clothes for the marshal!

Prepare a banquet according to the highest specifications to catch the wind for the marshal!

All the officials of the City Lord's Mansion entered the mansion to pay homage to the marshal!

——The maid stepped forward and led Ye Jingqiu to bathe.

At this time, Huang Youcheng finished arranging and saw that the maid came to invite Ye Jingqiu to bathe, so he said to Ye Jingqiu, "Please take a bath with the marshal, and the next official will retire!"

Ye Jingqiu waved his hand and motioned to Huang Youcheng: "Do whatever you have to do." ”

Huang Youcheng saw it, stepped back, then turned around, went straight to the inner room to see his wife Mi Tianrui, and asked:

"Madam, where is Brother Tianliang? How did he meet this Marshal Ye? What do you know about this Marshal Ye?"

Mi Tianrui said: "Husband, Tianliang went back last night, didn't you see it? Ouch! What are you talking about Marshal Ye? Could it be that this Marshal Ye has something to do with the Ye family?"

Huang Youcheng smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, isn't it, this Marshal Ye, in my opinion, is the Ye family of the Yan clan." ”

Mi Tianrui listened, and said in a panic: "Husband, the concubine has long persuaded you, your Huang family and the Ye family's ancestors are originally the same ancestor, and the grievances of the ancestors should have been settled a long time ago——

No, the surname Ye is a big man, if you want to rectify us, how can you, the city lord, do it?"

When Huang Youcheng heard this, he had to comfort his wife and said, "Madame, don't worry, this Marshal Ye is a greedy man who has already received five thousand jade crystals from his husband."

After he finishes bathing, I will give up another 5,000 jade crystals here, and offer him good wine and food, presumably he will not embarrass me, the city lord, after all, this Guijiang City is a poor and remote place, and there is nothing to look at. ”

"Husband, if this is the case, let's break the fortune and avoid disaster. After that, the lady of the city lord clasped her hands together and said straight in her mouth:

Quiet with the blessing of the true monarch! Quiet with the blessing of the true monarch - it turns out that this lady of the city lord is a believer in the Jingde Sect.

Huang Youwei wanted to find his wife and brother Mi Tianliang to learn some information, but Mi Tianliang had already gone back, he comforted his wife, and then returned to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, in the hall of the city lord's mansion, the lights were already lit, and the maids kept passing the dishes to the top like flowers and butterflies. All the subordinate officials of Guijiang City have received the notice and rushed to participate in the reception banquet to welcome the arrival of Ye Jingqiu, the "deputy marshal of the Divine Sect".

At this time, Ye Jingqiu had just finished bathing, and the maid handed over her clothes, a light and soft casual dress and a general's military uniform. The maid only said, "Please change your clothes, Lord Marshal!"

Ye Jingqiu said: "I'm going to meet you later, how to dress in civilian clothes? ”

So two maids stepped forward, and they did not shy away from taboos and dressed Ye Jingqiu.

Ye Jingqiu was about to refuse, but suddenly thought that if he refused, he might be exposing flaws, but it would make people suspicious.

Thinking about this section, Ye Jingqiu treated it calmly and let the two maids dress themselves.

As the saying goes, "A Buddha wants gold, and a man wants clothes." As soon as Ye Jingqiu changed into the official uniform, naturally the whole character was different, he was the real deputy marshal of the Zhendong Army of the Xiding Empire, and the unique general demeanor on his body at this time made the two maids who changed his clothes tempted.

Ye Jingqiu didn't seem to see it, and followed the guidance of another maid, got out of the bathroom, and came to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

So Ye Jingqiu saw that the hall was lit up with lights, and a group of officials from Guijiang City, under the leadership of the city lord, stood respectfully in their respective positions.

When these officials saw Ye Jingqiu come out, they all felt that their eyes lit up, and they all sighed secretly in their hearts: Deputy Marshal of the Divine Sect, it is really not simple!

Look at the young people, this bearing, this majesty, and the abundance of the general, which is enviable! Among them, there are infatuated people who begin to think of inquiring-

This Marshal Ye is married?—— his intention is just to catch a golden beetle son-in-law to attach a dragon and phoenix.

Huang Youcheng led all the officials and sang in unison: "Welcome Marshal Ye to Guijiang City! Marshal Ye has worked hard to recruit troops! Invite Marshal Ye to the banquet!"

When Ye Jingqiu heard this, he smiled slightly, raised his voice and said to everyone: "Lord Huangcheng, all officials, you have worked hard, please join the banquet." ”

When the officials heard this, they took their seats one after another.

Ye Jingqiu sat on the distinguished seat, and next to him was Huang Youcheng, who sat next to Ye Jingqiu on the main seat to accompany him.

The banquet began, and for a time there was a staggered mix of chips, clinking glasses, and at the same time, the whole hall was filled with the sound of "please" and "please."

After a while, the dishes were eight treasures, the wine was three rounds, and the officials of Jiangcheng were returned, starting with Huang Youcheng, one after another stepped forward to toast Ye Jingqiu.

Ye Jingqiu and the people who came to toast poured their glasses one by one, and the cups were at the bottom, but they transported the true qi of the inner family and refined the wine.

There are many officials of all sizes in Guijiang City, and there are more than 90 officials who can be present, these people see that Ye Jingqiu does not refuse, and the cups are dry, and they are extremely admired in their hearts: Sure enough, he is worthy of being the marshal of the Divine Sect, and it is as easy to see people drinking as drinking water.

After this circle of wine, some officials with a small amount of alcohol felt that they couldn't bear it, but looking at this Marshal Ye, his face did not change, and he still talked and laughed as if he had nothing to do.

An hour later, when the banquet was about to end, Huang Youcheng asked the officials to continue drinking and eating in the hall, but invited Ye Jingqiu to the inner hall to participate in the small banquet.

This time, there were only four people at a table, namely Ye Jingqiu, Huang Youcheng and his wife Mi Tianrui, and one was the chief butler of the City Lord's Mansion - this housekeeper was another relative of Huang Youcheng, and Huang Youcheng called him as a cousin.

After the four of them sat down, under Huang Youcheng's signal, the housekeeper's cousin handed over a ring, which also contained five thousand jade crystals, Ye Jingqiu concocted them as before, included them in his ring, and returned the ring containing the jade crystal to the housekeeper.

Ye Jingqiu collected the jade crystal, and had the intention to take Huang Youcheng's words, so he said:

"Lord Huangcheng, I can't hide it, I have indeed heard of your suppression of the Ye family. However, what Ben Shuai doesn't understand is that the Ye family is only a dozen or so families, and it is far away at the foot of Wulao Mountain, which is an extremely desolate and remote place, how can it offend you, the lord of the city?"

Huang Youcheng listened to it, he couldn't make a sound for a long time, and said in his heart, I have already given you a gift of 10,000 jade crystals, dear marshal, why don't you open a pot or mention which pot?

However, this Huang Youcheng thought about it, and estimated that he would not give this gift in vain today, since this Marshal Ye had the heart to inquire, it must be unnecessary for him to conceal it, if he didn't tell the truth, he might be able to win the marshal's recognition and favor.

So Huang Youcheng saluted Ye Jingqiu and said: "Marshal Ye, you ask like this, although the lower officials are in the way of your surname Ye, they have to tell the truth."

My surname Huang and the surname Ye were just one family two thousand years ago, and everyone had the same surname Ye, the same ancestor.

My ancestors worked hard to establish the Great Yan Empire. After the death of the founding ancestor Ye Buxian, the three sons did not agree, so they were divided into three surnames, the eldest sect changed the surname to Qiu, and the second sect was still surnamed Ye.

According to the legacy of the ancestors, the emperor took turns to do it, and successively arranged according to the eldest and youngest. I don't think that after the Qiu clan passed the emperor's position to the Ye family, the Ye family was owned by one surname.

At the end of the 100-year period, the Ye family not only did not hand over the emperor's position, but wiped out the Qiu family.

My Huang clan is a sect, but fortunately, I was prepared first, so I was not wiped out. This incident caused a scuffle between the three kings of the empire, which eventually led to the collapse of our Great Yan Empire.

The last words of my Huang ancestors, but all the descendants of my Huang family will swear at the Chengding ceremony that they will take revenge when they encounter the surname Ye of the Yan clan. Otherwise, they will not be regarded as descendants of the Huang family. ”

When Huang Youcheng said this, he looked at Ye Jingqiu's face, and continued: "Lord Marshal, the lower official is in Guijiang City, although he also gave his surname Ye a few tricks, after all, it was the ancestral order, and the oath was compelled!"

In fact, I didn't really do anything to kill them all, but on the contrary, my subordinates were much more tolerant. If the marshal doesn't believe it, he can ask the lowly. Uchiko is a quiet believer who never lies. ”

Mi Tianrui hurriedly said: "Marshal Ye, what my family friends are telling is the truth. ”

When Ye Jingqiu heard this, he also suddenly realized in his heart, and secretly thought:

Look at what the city lord said this time is different from what he said halfway, and most of his words sound true, no wonder under his suppression, although the people of Ye Laozhuang are hard, they are basically safe.

In the name of this god marshal, I will advise him that as long as he can restrain himself, he can also let him go.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingqiu said: "Lord Huangcheng, there is such a festival in the middle, Ben Shuai didn't know it.

It's just that it's better to settle a grievance than to settle it, and after a thousand years, how can anyone hold such a grudge? What's more, according to you, you were originally an ancestor, and what good will this fight do to you?

What benefits will it do to your descendants? If the descendants of the Ye family come up with a big man and in turn rectify your descendants, how do you feel?"

Huang Youcheng said: "What Marshal Ye said is extremely true, and the lower officials will take it to heart. ”

At this time, someone came to report Huang Youcheng's housekeeper cousin: "In the good workshop that day, the guide who led the way last night wants to see the city lord!"

The butler's cousin said in a low voice, "What is the identity of that guide, and where is he qualified to meet our city lord?"

"It's a relative of the lord of the city, and the owner of the good workshop asked him to come that day......"

The housekeeper's cousin was about to speak, when he heard Huang Youcheng say: "Marshal Ye, please use this cup, the lower officials will do it first as a respect." ”

Ye Jingqiu said: "Come on, City Lord Huang, Mrs. Huang, Mr. Housekeeper, let's have this cup together!"

So the four of them all said "please" one after another, just waiting to raise a glass.

Just as the four of them were about to raise their glasses, an official outside ran in in a panic and reported: "Lord of the city! Oh no, there's another marshal outside!"

When Huang Youcheng heard this, he was taken aback, stood up at that time, pointed at Ye Jingqiu, and said in disbelief: "You......!

Ye Jingqiu knew that the paper couldn't contain the fire, but he didn't expect his old bottom to be exposed so quickly.

However, Ye Jingqiu was not impatient, he was still sitting upright, and the old god said on the ground: "Hmm, Lord Huangcheng, if there is a marshal, my marshal is not a marshal!?"

When Huang Youcheng heard this, he couldn't make a sound, and said after a while: "Marshal Ye, can you please accompany the city lord to meet the new marshal?" At this time, his tone was not as respectful as before.

Ye Jingqiu said: "It's easy to say." Huangcheng Lord, you were already suspicious of Ye, yes or no? Could it be that the new marshal is real, and Ye, the marshal, is fake?"

When he said this, Ye Jingqiu was already full of emotion.

Huang Youcheng intellectually felt that this Marshal Ye was a fake nine times out of ten, but after dealing with him for a long time, he would rather believe that this marshal was real. What's more, he has 10,000 jade crystals, which is a huge amount of money!

This Huangcheng Lord Huang Youcheng thought about it again, and let this real and false marshal fight, so as to expose this fake marshal, I only put the blame on this fake marshal.

Huang Youcheng thought of this, and immediately said: "Marshal Ye is right, and ask Marshal Ye and the lower officials to go and expose Marshal Na Xibei!"

Ye Jingqiu laughed, looked calm, and said calmly: "Okay!

So the two of them went out of the inner hall and came to the hall of the city lord's mansion in front.
