Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth into the city
In the thoroughfares of the streets and alleys in the county town, thin smoke from cooking smoke filled the sky above the rows of earthen houses, mixed with the red light of the setting sun. In the cool evening breeze, several groups of returning birds flew across the sky. Invariably, they all avoided the looming area in the west of the city.
The black mist casts straight into the gray woods outside the city in the distance.
Dark night is coming, and the war is not over.
Even at this time, people had to eat. When the residents of the county and city were having dinner, the sound of neat footsteps passing by on the street was mixed with the sound of the clash of soldiers and armor.
There was a sudden change and such a large army entered the city. Many people even thought that the Yin soldiers had broken through the city. In the panic atmosphere, they all peeped through the cracks in the door and saw the banner of "Young Governor Ye" coming from East Street.
, looking at it again, everyone collectively took a breath of air.
I saw soldiers who were all fully armed and organized into basic units. Each row was only a few steps apart. With each step, thousands of people were walking in order, and the oppression spread.
Everyone was silent, staring at the sergeants. The infantry passed by, and then there were the cavalry. They were well-armored, flashing red in the sunset, and headed straight towards the prefecture in the north of the city, taking their time.
Then there are the infantry, archers, and magicians. In the direction of this torrent, many soldiers from the county have ugly faces and are retreating to the side. Some people secretly ran to the county to report the news... Or what countermeasures can the prefect come up with?
"Master Wang's style..."
The residents looked on with complicated expressions. Even if they didn't understand military affairs, they all felt the solemn killing intent when they saw these troops coming in silence.
Some people were also secretly happy. Everyone knew about Governor Ye's record in the east of the county, and reinforcements finally came. I heard that the county government didn't want to see the east of the county, which felt a bit strange, but... they were reinforcements after all, and they did not harm the residents. The upper class master
Who can take care of so many disputes and troubles?
Zhang Fangbiao was riding on the front horse. He looked away from the buildings on both sides. It could be seen that the shops were closed. Some county soldiers were retreating in front. The leading lieutenant was just waiting and watching. No one dared to block the progress of the cavalry - Young Master
The governor's flag was stuck in front, and there was an official document calling for support. It was not the junior officers like them who could come forward...
Many people thought restrainedly and turned their attention to the county governor's mansion. The veteran cavalrymen stared at these people with undiminished vigilance, but it was a bit boring after all. Overall, the process went smoothly and surprisingly.
The overall atmosphere is calm under restraint, which is smooth for the Ye family, but even depressing for some people.
Ye Qing closed his eyes and sat on the black dragon horse, calming down the green energy. The yellow energy was finally digested... He was currently at the third level of the Qingde Qi Refining Layer.
Some of the understandings I have mastered from Qianqian will be verified in the next battlefield.
"Lord, we're here." Zhou Feng reminded.
Ye Qing opened his eyes and looked at the Sheriff's Mansion not far ahead. There were soldiers gathered at the street entrance, and even a defensive cavalry was set up. There was already some commotion, but it quickly subsided... which meant that there was no direct rebellion. As for the
Some nervousness is inevitable.
"Will you take action?" Qianqian asked in the Shanhe Sheji Tu. Out of an indescribable thought, she was most worried that her husband would be affected by his change of pulse at this time.
"No matter how hateful the other party is, I don't dare to break up with him right now. Yu Chengen is not a fool, at least not so stupid that he doesn't know his own abilities... To put it bluntly, this person has been in the official position for a long time, so he is not as courageous as his son."
Qianqian was silent and sighed: "Why...just give up?"
This question was confusing. Ye Qing grasped her recent thoughts and guessed some meaning. He muttered and sent a message to her: "There are advantages to accepting the order. It is a shortcut. It is easy to control Canghai County and even master the corresponding information."
State authority is not difficult."
"But the disadvantage is that because of Cai Chaolong's anger, the status of monarch and minister has been determined, and I can only stop at the level of serving as a marquis. I can't even reach out to other states..."
"The Marquis Order seems to be issued by the imperial court, but in essence it is a reward from Heaven to the victors in the Lower Earth. In the Lower Earth, I, King Ying, supervises the country, which is unstoppable and unified. I am about to get the position of Marquis.
How could you lose your composure, be unable to withstand the pressure and choose a shortcut?"
Ye Qing said with some disdain: "If this is the case, then what's the way forward?"
Did he really choose the so-called shortcut? Is he just overdrawing his previous hard work, missing out on the opportunity to conquer step by step in this life, wasting his foundation, wasting ten years, and dying like Yu Fan in his previous life?
Ye Qing thought to himself, this must not be done. Although he couldn't say it directly, it might be ambiguous and misunderstood to others, but Qianqian had been following him for the longest time, so he would definitely understand the meaning.
"I remember I talked about it with you Qianqian before, why did you suddenly ask me again?"
Qianqian sat quietly in the main room of Shanhe Sheji Tu and pursed her lips: "I mean... I thought that your husband would at least hesitate, but I didn't expect to just..."
She changed her expression. Ye Qing understood her uneasiness and couldn't help but smile: "How do you know that I haven't hesitated? The balance of weighing is not just rationality, there may have been a moment of emotional hesitation, but the green veins of the balance
With you here, there is no need to hesitate."
"Really or not?" Qianqian also laughed, feeling reassured, and deliberately expressed disbelief: "I think your husband is too smart and can make rational calculations quickly. Don't think that a stupid girl like me is easy to deceive..."
"It's not cleverness." Ye Qing smiled and said seriously: "It's just the acumen of the road."
Regardless of whether Qianqian believed it or not, he decisively stopped talking. At this time, he remembered a few things, raised his head and told Zhou Feng in front of him: "Those city gate officials who rebelled against the enemy can be said to have abandoned the dark and turned to the light. Even under pressure, they
It must be arranged well so that people can be convinced.”
"When it's critical, we can even directly lead troops to protect it."
"Yes" Zhou Feng nodded. He learned a lot from his lord along the way. He knew that this was an example for others to see. Otherwise, who would turn to the Ye family if they didn't end well?
"Ling Ling, haven't the detailed information on the grassland arrived yet?" Zhou Ling shook her head after hearing this: "I haven't received it. The source of the information over there was Yu Fan... Now Yu Fan has disappeared after heading west, and Wei is the only one left.
country."
"Yu Fan is still missing?"
Ye Qing frowned, never underestimated this old rival, and vaguely guessed its strategic purpose in his heart.
But I am a little helpless about the intelligence of the Yin soldiers - Heavenly Court's intelligence support does not actually use immortals, it just coordinates the forces of all parties and promotes the originally discordant forces to synthesize intelligence from each other. This is of course very useful for ordinary vassals, but
Wei Guo had just turned against Cai Chao and started a fight. With the majestic appearance of the Wei King, all the pro-Cai Chao representatives inside were basically wiped out. It was not easy to find someone to coordinate with them - who would dare to take on the role easily?
Tsai Chao is coordinating, and is he not afraid of being used as an excuse by his political opponents to liquidate him later?
At this time, the team gradually stopped at the street intersection, with the two sides only a few steps away. The tension was tense and the atmosphere became tense.
In front of a pair of stone lions at the entrance of the courtyard, the majestic beast eyes stared at Ye Qing, warning something.
Zhang Fangbiao glanced at these county soldiers coldly, sneered slightly, then turned to Ye Qing and asked: "Lord, do you want to clean up..."
"No need."
Ye Qing glanced at the sharp wooden horns of the horses in front of him and the cold light of the spear array of the soldiers as if facing a powerful enemy, without any expression.
"Ye...Young Commander-in-Chief, the County...the Lord Commander asked you what brought you here?"
Several officials squeezed out of the narrow passage in the gun array, trying their best to pretend to be officials, but their voices were unavoidably trembling - even the master of the courtyard did not dare to greet them in person.
The dignified county guard silently adhered to the final rules of the system. The mood of the people below was not so calm, especially when faced with the forest of spears flashing with cold light from the large cavalry. There was no need for the magician group inside to take action. All it took was a charge by the cavalry. Life or death could only take an instant.
thing.
Ye Qing turned over and dismounted, looking up at the plaque of "Nancang County Mansion" above... The scenery was still the same. He didn't come here many times. He was either rushing to take exams or returning from taking exams. He was always a passer-by and basically didn't feel any difference.
It was finally a little different. Ye Qing smiled. Now that he was being held hostage by a large number of soldiers, he could not be called a master, but he had a different feeling.
"Qing said that he was ordered to come to the aid of the county. This is the official document of his return."
Ye Qing took the official document from Zhou Feng, and Jiang Zinan handed over the pen and ink. He drew a signature casually and handed it to the officials. They looked at each other in confusion. The head clerk took it with trembling hands and boldly asked:
"Just hand over the official document of reinstatement?"
Ye Qing glanced at him, ignored the questioning, got on his horse and said to Zhang Fangbiao: "Go and encircle and annihilate the enemies in the west of the city."
"Yes." Zhang Fangbiao responded loudly, leading the cavalry to go ahead for a while, then looked back and lowered his voice and asked, "Lord, is that it?"
"What else do you want?" Ye Qing laughed, thinking that he would directly seize the county?
"No... I have no idea." Zhang Fangbiao said nonchalantly. Seeing that the lord had closed his eyes, he seemed to be re-stabilizing his green veins... Everyone noticed his perfect Qi and were astonished. It was like a miracle. What had the lord accumulated before?
How many resources?
Ye Qing raised his hand and slapped it on a horse. The wooden frame immediately vibrated and the strips grew, spreading to the horse and even the wooden handles of the soldiers' spears.
While everyone was stunned, all the wood quickly turned into vines and quickly decayed into ashes.
"Live it, kill it..." Ye Qing stopped and realized that this move didn't even consume much mana. It was in line with Qingmai's characteristics of having few resources and streamlining skills. He couldn't help but think, is this the way of Qingmai?
It's pretty good, but there's always a feeling of unfinished business.
The county soldiers and officials in front of the county mansion stared blankly at the cavalry heading west of the city. The chief clerk came to his senses and ran into the mansion. In fact, the news had already been passed to the mansion by the magician. The prefect Yu Chengen relaxed on the high seat in the main hall.
Sitting in a sitting position, I realized that the palms of my fists were all sweaty.
When the chief clerk handed over the official document and whispered a few words, Yu Chengen's expression changed: "Qingmai is close to Dzogchen on the spot, are you sure?"
"Your Majesty will not be mistaken. Oh, Mr. Fan is also present and has already come over..."
Fan Shanju stepped at the door, looked at Yu Chengen, and sighed slightly: "Indeed, he..."
Really not knowing how to comment on the other party's choice, Fan Shan shook his head sadly, took back his feet, and left without entering the hall: "I can't take care of these bad things in your county. I have to go back to the state capital."
"Alas" Yu Chengen was startled and couldn't help shouting: "Sir, the ancient battlefield to the west has not been resolved yet, and the road is dangerous, why don't you wait any longer?"
"What are you afraid of? I will go westward on my own, so I don't need to trouble you, Governor Yu..."
Yu Chengen's face turned dark, and he didn't know how he had offended this superior officer.
What's even more shocking is Ye Qing's cultivation level - ever since the intelligence came to know about this son's habit of choosing the green vein, many people are looking forward to the period of weakness after he turns to the green vein, believing that this is a way to seek death when he uses the army...
