After finishing these things, a believer hurriedly walked up to Ip Man, and then said in an extremely respectful tone: "Your Majesty, the villagers of 'Yanshi Village' have all been brought. ”

"Well, I know, you can ask the village chief to come and see me!" After listening to the words of this believer, Ye Man nodded first, and then said instructively.

"Subordinates obey the order!" After listening to Ip Man's words, the believer immediately responded with great respect.

Immediately afterwards, under Ip Man's orders, Shi Lao, the village chief of 'Yanshi Village', was brought to Ip Man by the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is just a mountain village man, I don't know what His Majesty summoned the old slave over, what is the so-called matter!" After meeting, Shi Lao of 'Yanshi Village' immediately said with sincere fear.

"Hehe, Shi Lao, do you think I am a flood beast?" Seeing that Shi Lao was a little cowering, Ye Man asked with a smile.

"No!" After listening to Ip Man's words, Shi Lao had already mourned in his heart for a minute, because even if Ip Man was a 'flood beast', Shi Lao didn't dare to say it, after all, 'People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads!'

"Since it's not, then why are you so scared when you see me?"

"Your Majesty, the old slave is just flattered, because His Majesty captured the 'City of Asan', and the first thing to summon was the old slave, so the old slave was excited for a while, and he was confused!" Shi Lao, who was about to answer at a loss, suddenly had an idea, and immediately thought of a seemingly reasonable reason.

"Haha...... Shi Lao, it seems that although your body is in the paradise of 'Yanshi Village', your heart is not there! You won't make up such a ridiculous reason to deceive me!" I didn't expect the honest Shi Lao. There is such a cute side. So Ip Man immediately burst out laughing.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is guilty! Please punish your Majesty!" I didn't expect that my careful thinking would be seen through by Ye Man, so Shi Lao immediately said guiltily.

"Hehe, okay, I summoned you this time, mainly to give you a chance, whether you can grasp it depends on your own creation. "After the joke. Ye Man said the reason why he summoned Shi Lao.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has no talent for governing the country, the second is not the force to attack the camp, and the third is not a strong physique, so the old slave really doesn't understand why His Majesty chose the old slave, so the old slave is willing to ask His Majesty to be able to solve the old slave's doubts! The old slave will not be very grateful. I didn't expect Ip Man to give him a chance, so Shi Lao, who couldn't understand, immediately asked very puzzled.

"Shi Lao, I said that this is all caused by 'fate'. Can you believe it?"

"Believe!" After a long time, it turned out that the word 'fate' was making trouble. So Shi Lao immediately said with a sudden realization.

"Hehe, Shi Lao, it seems that you are also a wonderful person!" I didn't expect Shi Lao to believe in this kind of ethereal 'fate', so Ye Man, who wanted to explain, didn't bother to explain.

"Okay, to make a long story short, due to the urgency of time, I will stay in the 'City of Ahsan' for three days at most, so I have given you two tasks, the first task, I have appointed you as the new city lord of the 'City of Ahsan' to lead the development of the 'City of Ahsan', there must be no mistake!"

"Your Majesty, quickly take back your fate! The old slave is just one person, how can he manage the huge 'City of Asan'?" I didn't expect happiness to come too suddenly, so Shi Lao, who reacted in time, immediately refused and said.

"Hehe, Shi Lao, don't be busy refusing yet, you haven't heard me say the second task yet!"

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it's the old slave who is abrupt. ”

"Okay, I don't blame you, after all, there is a huge 'City of Asan', and it is indeed difficult for some strong people to let an old man be the city lord!"

"But if you finish listening to my second mission, then you will feel that being a 'city lord' is actually not a big deal. ”

"And my second task is that soon there will be a Datang army to take over the 'City of Asan', and then you only need to cooperate with the Datang army to receive it. ”

You must know that Ip Man only brought 30,000 believers with him on this expedition, so if Ip Man captures the city along the way, then Ip Man will not leave the believers behind to guard the city, after all, if the number of believers is scattered, then Ip Man's purpose of training believers will not be achieved.

Therefore, as long as Ip Man captures a city, then Wu Meiniang, who is far away in the Tang Dynasty, will send troops to receive these cities.

To put it simply, because of 'fate', Ip Man decided to let Shi Lao be the acting city lord of the 'City of Assan', as long as Shi Lao is doing well, then what does it matter if Shi Lao has been the city lord of the 'City of Assan'?

Therefore, letting Shi Lao be the acting city lord of the 'City of Assan' is an opportunity given to Shi Lao by Ip Man, and whether he can grasp it depends on Shi Lao's opportunity.

There is another thing, Shi Lao is a local after all, so some of the local customs, Shi Lao must be more familiar with the Tang army behind, therefore, Ye Man left Shi Lao as the 'acting city lord'.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has something to say, how long will it take for the Tang army behind to reach the 'City of Asan'? and what about the strength of the army?"

"Hehe, don't worry! Our Datang army is a 'lion in a hundred battles', it can arrive in seven days at the earliest, and it will not exceed a month at the slowest time, as for the number of troops, it will be kept secret for the time being! At that time, you only need to do your duty as the city lord of the 'City of Ahsan', you know?" In order to make Shi Lao relax, Ye Man explained.

"In this way, the old slave will thank His Majesty for his cultivation grace, and the old slave is here to promise that as long as the old slave lives for a day, then he will not let the 'City of Asan' fall into the hands of others!" After listening to Ip Man's words, Shi Lao immediately said with a guarantee.

"Okay! When the Tang Empire unifies the whole world, then I will definitely be rewarded for my meritorious deeds. After getting the assurance he wanted, Ip Man immediately said as promised.

In this way, after confirming Shi Lao's identity as the city lord, Ye Man asked Xiao Guizi to send a team of soldiers to cooperate with Shi Lao to integrate the remnants of the defeated army of the 'City of Asan', so that they all obeyed Shi Lao's command, and if anyone was not satisfied, they would be killed immediately!

And Shi Lao, with the help of Ip Man's army, quickly controlled the situation in the 'City of Assan', and also calmed people's minds in an orderly manner.

Therefore, after seeing this situation, Ip Man also nodded secretly in his heart, and secretly praised himself for indeed having a 'Bole talent'!

However, in order to allow the Tang Dynasty's army to arrive here smoothly, Ip Man still has many things that need to be dealt with personally. (To be continued......)
