Chapter Seventy-Eight: Excuses
Yang Tian put aside all the affairs at hand, and threw them all to a few deputy generals and staff officers, and took Long Feng and other henchmen with no more than 100 people, and galloped for two days and two nights to Qiong Daotian's defense area. Qiong Daotian is sitting steadily in his big tent of the Chinese army to order troops, Wen Yuan has sent him millions of new elite soldiers from the Celestial Dynasty, he is busy preparing for the camp of these troops that have not yet arrived, near his big camp, hundreds of thousands of soldiers with the Qiong family are already working intensively, after all, it is not easy to break ground in winter.
Hearing the news that Yang Tian brought people to ask to see, Qiong Daotian pondered for about a cup of tea, waved his hand to let all the generals in the tent retreat, leaving only his two uncles and three cousins, all of whom were important figures in the Qiong family, and then greeted him at the door of the big tent with a smile.
Yang Tian only took Long Feng in alone, and when he arrived in the tent, he didn't say any kind words, and directly saluted Qiong Dao Tianxing and said, "Boss Qiong, I want your help here...... You can do it, help me with this anyway, and I will always remember your benefits in the future. ”
Qiong Daotian quietly pulled his face, vaguely showed an expression similar to a smile, patted the thick stack of military intelligence reports on the case in front of him, and said lazily: "Brother Yang, are your subordinates causing trouble again?" Didn't I persuade you last time, your subordinates are really a little too much, of course, most of the soldiers under you are good, but those sons and brothers, I think they still need to be strictly disciplined." ”
Yang Tian glared at him for a while, and Qiong Daotian looked at him without blinking, looking innocent and unexplained virtue. Yang Tian suddenly laughed: "Well, ten million taels of gold, can you do me this favor?" I don't want you to talk too much, as long as you send a post to Shengjing." ”
Qiong Daotian nodded again and again: "This is no problem, I will tell Wen Shuai immediately, spare the military stick under your hand, 10 million taels of gold, it is too expensive, don't need so much, you invite me to eat a local specialty barbecue of wild fowl." ”
Yang Tian almost pounced on him, and said viciously: "I don't believe that you didn't receive the news, to be honest, what the hell do you have to do to help." Let me say something ugly first, if Lao Tzu is sent back to Shengjing to be a very idle prince or something, don't blame Lao Tzu for making trouble with your Qiong family, and detain your rebellion anytime and anywhere. ”
Qiong Daotian's face changed slightly, and the generals of the Qiong family around him were already a little uncertain in their eyes. Seeing that Yang Tian was about to take someone out, Qiong Daotian hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Yang, stay here, stay here, why do you have to do this? Discuss well, discuss well...... What are you doing here? Brother Yang has been here for so long, and he doesn't even have a chair?"
His two cousins quickly took out two large chairs from the back tent and placed them in front of Qiong Daotian's case. Long Feng snorted coldly, did not take a seat, his fingers flicked slightly, the entire big chair instantly turned into ashes, there was no scum left, and said coldly: "Qiong Houye, I think it's better for us to make things clear earlier, we are also good to you, there is no need for these small means, after all, we are not fools, are we?"
Qiong Daotian took a deep look at the location of the sandalwood chair that existed in an instant, and thought about whether it was possible for him to achieve such an amazing effect with all his strength, shook his head and said, "Master Longfeng, it is really hidden, and the chair is carried out again." It's time for us to talk about it, and we have to make many things clear. ”
Long Feng took a seat, Yang Tian looked at Qiong Daotian and said, "I only need a document from you to the Emperor of Heavenly Blessing, no matter what you say in it, anyway, I must stay here...... It's not like I've worked so hard for so long and finally transferred me back to Shengjing to do an idle job, ......right?
Qiong Daotian hurriedly shushed and said, "Be careful when you speak...... If I want to talk about this matter, I also think it's a little unfair, but Brother Yang's performance in this section really reassures the bigwigs of the court. If Brother Yang suffers defeats all day long, then there will still be no such trouble...... Huh?"
Yang Tian shook his head: "If I lose the battle all the time, even if I conquer the Black Cloud Empire in the future, I'm afraid I will only be the governor of a county or province at most, where is there any benefit to be there?" To be honest, I can stay as long as I ask for a letter from you and Wen Yuanwen Marshal." ”
Qiong Daotian pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Is it possible? The Holy Decree wants you to leave immediately, and you can delay it for ten days at most, but if our documents are sent back, it will take at least a month before you can reply, and then you will be resisting the decree, and you will also be a capital crime." ”
Yang Tian frowned, pondered for a while, licked his lips and said, "Then, it's up to you to manage to let me stay." Send me out to fight skeletons, zombies, or scout the movements of the Black Cloud Empire's army, but I'm going to stay. ”
Qiong Daotian slowly stroked the golden paperweight on the case, nodded and said: "If Brother Yang can successfully serve as the governor or lord in the future, may I ask, what benefits can I give to the Qiong family? 10 million taels of gold, I Qiong Daotian's own account can also be collected, and I don't need to pay Brother Yang." ”
Yang Tian laughed: "Then I want to see what benefits you want, your Qiong family's territory is in the north of the Liuhua Continent, tens of thousands of miles away from here, what benefits can I give you?"
Qiong Daotian smiled: "Our Qiong family, although it is known as the head of the thirteen founding fathers, the fief is not satisfactory, and it can barely allow a family to live, and in the court, the prestige is also a little bit...... However, after all, there are people in the court who are good officials, and our Qiong family wants to intervene a few people in those special, first, and second-class officials to take care of their own family's business, which is not too much. It's a pity that our Qiong family doesn't have a person to ask for, this court, you know, it's very complicated, otherwise Brother Yang wouldn't have been hurriedly transferred back because of a few victories, right?"
Yang Tian caught his words without blinking his eyes: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I still have a few people I know in the imperial court, and I can still help." Isn't it easy to get an official? Xiao Zeng's father seems to have sold so many officials, and he doesn't care about how many positions he places for me, right?"
Nodding slightly, with a slight 'hmm', Qiong Daotian flicked his slender fingers like white jade on the case, and said coldly: "Then this is a matter of the past." Besides, I don't know where Brother Yang wants to be the governor?
Long Feng said coldly: "It is the current territory, which is three thousand six hundred and seventy-three miles long, four hundred and fifty miles at its widest point, and three hundred and twenty miles at its narrowest point...... It would be best if the width could be increased by two hundred miles. ”
Qiong Daotian slapped the case of the double lion's head and swallowed gold, and stood up violently: "Then, if 30 million taels of gold are given to my Qiong family every year, how about I help Brother Yang with this?"
Yang Tian smiled, grabbed Qiong Daotian's hand tightly, and the two of them showed a deceitful smile at the same time, and said in unison: "Deal." Yang Tian praised him by the way: "Boss Qiong is worthy of being the most promising person in the Qiong family to inherit the position of the head of the family, if he is really dedicated to his family, this court, hehe......"
Qiong Daotian sneered a few times quietly, as if he suddenly came up with something, and said: "But, Brother Yang still has to go back on the boat, of course, it's okay to slow down the speed of this ship, and when I carefully repair the book and send it to the court, I can almost transfer my brother to return halfway." ”
Yang Tian nodded, hehe said a few times, and he didn't say goodbye, so he walked out with Long Feng. Qiong Daotian was also dry, and he didn't have the slightest intention of serving tea or having a light meal.
Riding a horse and galloping for more than 20 miles, Yang Tian said coldly: "After the future, the first thing to do is to kill Qiong Daotian." Long Feng nodded slowly, and said coldly: "This person ...... Maybe he will be the one who will rebel with you in the future, and when the time comes, it's hard to say. Their Qiong family has been in the limelight for so long, and it would be really strange if they were still content to be a janitor dog in the north. ”
Without any rest, Yang Tian rushed back to his station overnight, quickly summoned a group of elites of the Guards Regiment who were gambling and fighting wildly, and bluffed loudly: "Brothers, Shengjing has an order to come down and transfer all the people of our Guards Regiment back...... Fuck, I don't know which bastard actually made a small report on the Shengjing side, saying that the people of our Guards Regiment are all moths of the state, and we have embezzled and bribed I don't know how many gold, silver and jewelry along the way, and we have to go back to accept the investigation of the Shengjing Mansion. You say, 'What should I do?'
Thousands of sons immediately blew up the nest, drew their swords and sabers and roared frantically: "Fuck, that bastard dares to ruin our brothers' affairs and kill him." ”
Zeng Guoxuan roared angrily: "Fuck, are you not supervising those old immortals in the imperial history? Brothers, hurry up and send a letter to your old man or uncle and uncle, fuck, we are in a tight position, this gold, silver, jewelry and beautiful chicks haven't been enough yet, how can we go back like this? Fuck, kill those bastards who are looking for us to make trouble." ”
The members of the Guards Regiment were like a group of mad dogs about to lose the flesh and bones in front of them, roared and rushed into their rooms, and quickly wrote hard, and in less than a meal, more than 20,000 letters to the officials of the Shengjing Imperial Court were handed over to Yang Tian, and the names of the recipients were varied, and the members of the Heavenly Pilgrimage to the Shengjing were almost wiped out.
Yang Tian didn't waste any time, he sealed these letters, which were enough to ruin more than a dozen first-grade supervising imperial historians, into more than twenty scrolls of special emergency military information, marked the secret mark of Zeng Guoxuan's university scholar's mansion, handed them over to one of the Dharma protector disciples of the old ghost of the black sky, and teleported them back on the spot.
Disbanded this group of sons and brothers who were about to go crazy, and no matter what fun they were looking to vent, Yang Tian said to Long Feng proudly: "Look, fuck, I just glanced at some of their letters, someone is counting how much benefit they have gotten, begging their father to help, you must not transfer yourself back now...... Hehe, these Shengjing are lively. ”
Long Feng nodded: "Yes, although it must be the guy from the Heavenly Protector King who is making ghosts inside, but as long as the court officials play together, plus the letter from Qiong Daotian and Wen Yuan, you don't have to go back to Shengjing." ”
Yang Tian showed a weird smile: "But the face work still has to be done." ”
Long Feng nodded: "Yes, we still have to follow the emperor's wishes, and return to Shengjing as soon as possible, as for whether we can go to Shengjing, it is a natural disaster, and it has nothing to do with us." The two of them laughed darkly at the same time.
Suddenly, there was a roar of the old ghost of the black sky at the gate: "Fuck, who said that the boy of the Yang family was transferred back to Shengjing? He still owes Lao Tzu more than 900 beautiful virgins, fuck, he can't pay the bill? Absolutely not, damn, you kid has to leave it for me, and I will talk about it when you pay off your debts." ”
Long Feng laughed softly: "It seems that we have forgotten the most powerful chess piece, he Lafayette is a figure who can dominate the mind of the Emperor of Heaven." No matter how great the Heavenly Protector King's energy is, I'm afraid I can only have a little bit of trouble with him, right?"
Yang Tian had already greeted him with a smile on his face, and Lafayette Elder Galeries kept screaming, and the sycophants poured out like a tide.
At this moment, less than half an hour after Yang Tian left, Qiong Daotian's face holy document had been waved away, which highly praised Yang Tian's great role in the expeditionary force, highly publicized Yang Tian's noble patriotic feelings, highly praised Yang Tian's great spirit of being a pioneer, and highly summarized the excellent situation in which the people lived and worked in peace and contentment under Yang Tian's governance. In short, Yang Tian is an indispensable figure in the expeditionary force now, and Yang Tian is so loyal to the emperor and the country, it is really not worth worrying about anything wrong with him. The document also implicitly pointed out that some ministers were jealous because of Yang Tian's excessive meritorious service, and they did their best to frame the villain's loyalty to the country......
As for Wen Yuan's document issued almost at the same time as him, it was much more sincere, and the above examples listed the merits of Yang Tian's expedition since his expedition, especially the glorious deeds of leading hundreds of thousands of soldiers in 'Hongyan' City to carry the opponent's millions of troops, without a little boo or exaggeration......
As for Yang Tian and Long Feng, they have already begun to pack their luggage and prepare to return to Shengjing.
Three days later, the two of them took Gnu, Feng Ling'er and more than 100 black-clothed people who had undergone special training by Long Feng, boarded a small battleship, and quickly sailed towards the Liuhua Continent. More than a dozen overseers quickly sent back the news to Shengjing that Yang Tian had set out according to his will. No one noticed the weird smiles on Yang Tian and Long Feng's faces......
After the battleship sailed for ten days, it suddenly encountered a huge wind and waves, and rows of huge waves higher than 100 zhang came across the entire sea and sky, forcing the battleship to retreat continuously. Yang Tian stood on the bow of the ship and shouted: "We must not retreat, Your Majesty has a decree that we rush back to Shengjing as soon as possible, no matter what, we must move forward." ”
Fortunately, it was the old eunuch who announced the decree, and his face was pale, and he held Yang Tian's hand tightly: "General Yang, let's hurry back quickly, this is not something that can be fought against by manpower...... Your Majesty, naturally there is a father-in-law for me to explain, human life matters. ”
Yang Tian immediately supported him and said seriously: "It's still taught by my father-in-law, I can't ignore the soldiers' surnames for my own reasons...... All the guilt will be borne by the general, return to the voyage, return to the voyage ......"
The hurricane blew the huge sails, and the battleship returned to the port of departure in only three days, Yang Tian quickly got off the ship, ignoring the old eunuch who vomited a mess, and led people to rush back to his territory and regain control of the military, at this time, the 300,000 troops assigned by the Third Route Army in his territory happened to be in place, and the strength of Yang Tian's troops instantly swelled to a million giants, plus the city defense army he secretly ordered to train, the military strength he mastered had exceeded 1.3 million.
Yang Tian said proudly: "Look at it, now there are at least 310,000 people under my command who are willing to follow me to rebel." ”
Long Feng shook his head: "It's a pity that the other 990,000 troops can destroy you in one day." ”
Yang Tian snorted coldly: "What's the hurry, sooner or later I will send them to death...... Damn it...... However, when I think about it, my scalp is numb, these three continents, in the future, at least eighteen territories of my size can be divided, that is, there will be seventeen loyal lords of the Celestial Empire, and Lao Tzu has to deal with the Celestial Empire after working hard to kill them, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible. ”
Long Feng ignored him and said indifferently: "In my country, something happened in that world before, more than a hundred people of a nation relied on advanced firearms to slaughter hundreds of thousands of troops armed with machetes in one battle...... Seventeen lords, if you could open more schools...... Hey hey ......"
Yang Tian didn't speak for a long time, and waited for a long time before he said viciously: "Fuck, then you can't blame me." Although Lao Tzu had the intention to rebel, but Lao Tzu had not rebelled yet, they actually began to calculate Lao Tzu...... You can't blame me anymore. ”
Long Feng laughed out loud: "A rebellion is a rebellion, do you still need a reason? You don't need to make these inexplicable excuses for yourself...... Why can't you replace them with the king, and if you become the emperor, who will dare to say a word of nonsense about you? Even if you rebel in order to rob the emperor's favorite concubine, those supposedly meticulous historians will naturally write about you: In order to save the people in dire straits, you have raised troops to overthrow the tyrant. ”
Yang Tian sneered again and again.
Long Feng finally concluded: "Therefore, rebellion is rebellion, and anti-thief is anti-thief...... But when you become the master of this world, this starry sky, this universe, those who have been against you are thieves, who can say anything about you? Excuse this kind of thing...... Dispensable, monarchs who need excuses to start wars, just waste......"
Yang Tian nodded: "That's right, if I'm strong enough, why should I pay attention to the opinions of people in the world?" Indeed, if I'm strong enough, I don't need an excuse. ”
