Liu Yunchang was lying on the wasteland, and the cold wind at night made her feel chilly.
However, the cold and biting wind was not as chilling as what Dong Di had done.
She, Liu Yunchang, has been competitive since she was a child and doesn't want to lose to the men in her clan. Over the past few decades, she has indeed made great achievements.
Now, all the hard work has been wasted, everything is gone.
Only this piece of sloping land stretching for thousands of miles is left.
Liu Yunchang closed her eyes, holding the wine flask, tilting the spout, and the mellow and strong wine spurted out, splashing all over Liu Yunchang's face.
Liu Yunchang sighed deeply. With this sigh, her whole body was exhausted and boneless, and she collapsed to the ground like a corpse.
Even Liu Yunchang thought like Gu Long that the East Emperor was going to show off his majestic posture again to face the army that had accompanied Dongzhou in the battle.
Liu Yunchang's lips curved into a sarcastic smile.
These 30,000 troops are all loyal subordinates who have accompanied her in battles for many years.
It was her order to come to Dongzhou this time. She also said that life and death would be up to God, but no one left her.
Liu Yunchang closed her eyes, and her eyes were filled with disappointment.
The Eastern Emperor must have put on a show of strength in front of this army, divided the soldiers, responded to violence with violence, and forcibly boosted morale.
That trick didn't work on Liu Yunchang.
These soldier brothers are all relatives she is willing to trust! The thirty thousand soldiers looked at Qingge warily, complaining in their hearts, but they were afraid and did not dare to say another unnecessary word.
Qingge pursed her lips, frowned, and stood in front of many soldiers.
The wind blew up the broken hair on his forehead, and the silver hair slightly covered his picturesque eyebrows.
This period of silence lasted for a long time, and no one dared to make a sound. They opened their eyes and looked at the beautiful and cool woman.
"what you up to?"
This time, even Gu Long couldn't figure it out.
This period of contact made Gu Long understand that Ye Qingge was smart and knew what to do and what not to do.
For example, what Ye Qingge should do now is to disperse this army and use a small number of people to guard Dongzhou and mine Yuanjing.
Qingge was silent, not saying a word. She just stood like this, her eyes scanning the faces of each soldier.
The faces are either young or slightly aged, their eyes are as bright as sparks, but also full of loss.
"Senior Gu Long."
"Um?
I’m here, what do you need from me?”
"Human nature is the least able to withstand the test."
Qingge only said this sentence, but Gu Long felt confused when he heard it.
But he saw Qingge walking forward, stopping dozens of steps away, facing countless soldiers, standing as straight as a green pine.
He sang softly and bowed his hands, and the moment his fists and palms touched each other, there was a sound of thunder, which shook the eardrums of every soldier.
None of the soldiers understood what Qingge meant by this move, and they looked at each other in confusion.
No one dared to move, no one knew what to say, so they stood still in tacit agreement, staring at the woman who held her hand.
The next moment, countless people's eyes tightened, and every pair of eyes was filled with surprise and astonishment.
Qing Ge bent down, bowed seriously and deeply to the thirty thousand soldiers.
"East Emperor...this..." The soldiers were panicked and at a loss.
Liu Yunchang, who was lying on the wasteland, heard the noisy noises of her subordinates. She lazily opened her eyes and turned her head to look. The expression on her cheeks froze, full of surprise.
"Dongdi, what are you doing?"
Liu Yunchang suddenly stood up from the ground and walked quickly to Qing Ge.
Qingge seemed not to have heard Liu Yunchang's words and still maintained her bowing posture.
"I spent 500 million gold coins to buy this wasteland from the head of the Yan family in Nanzhou. In order to prevent them from going back on their word, I specially sent people to favor the people of the Two Kings and One Palace, just to keep them safe.
Yes, the land under our feet is indeed a wasteland that cannot be reclaimed or cultivated. It is a slope abandoned by Nanzhou.
But..." Qingge paused, straightened up, his eyes were bright and clear, as agile as jade: "In my hands, this piece of land will be comparable to Zhonglin Mountain in the future, and even worse than the Four-part Tianqi! Yes, you are all members of the sect.
The glorious soldiers did suffer when they came to our Dongzhou.
But I have high hopes for this piece of land. I hope that all the soldiers can accompany me through this difficult day and wait for the glory of the future! I am not wasting all of you here. On the contrary, I trust General Liu and trust me.
You all share the joys and sorrows.”
"I know that this is a very hard job, so if someone wants to quit and return to the realm of death, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life, and you don't have to worry about your official position. It will never be worse than that sect.
As for how to choose, it's all up to you.
No matter what your choice is, I will always be grateful."
The words of the song are sincere and sincere.
She had too many means, but facing Liu Yunchang's soldiers, Qingge did not use any of them.
She followed a very old-fashioned process in an attempt to impress these people with so-called sincerity.
Hearing these words, Gu Long was shocked again.
It seems that no matter when and where, this girl can compose different wonderful things.
"What on earth are you going to do..." Liu Yunchang said weakly, holding Qingge's wrist.
Qing Ge just looked at these soldiers and then said: "Everyone, please make your choice."
Liu Yunchang gritted her teeth and dragged Qingge away.
When it was relatively remote, Liu Yunchang stopped and exhaled, full of helplessness: "East Emperor?"
"General Liu, please follow me."
Qingge walked forward, Liu Yunchang looked at Qingge's back, hesitated for a moment, then raised her legs and followed.
When he reached the edge, Qingge stopped, took out the Mingwang Sword, used it as a shovel, and began to shovel the soil seriously.
Liu Yunchang was always confused, but she could feel the sincerity of Qingge. She was no longer as lost as before, but she was just a little confused and curious.
Qing Ge shoveled away the soil and dug out a shallow vein of scrap iron ore.
"General Liu, come here and show you something good."
Qing Ge laughed.
Liu Yunchang: "..." Can scrap iron veins be considered a good thing?
Liu Yunchang was doubtful, but with a drum in her heart, she walked over curiously.
Qing Ge closed her eyes and placed her palms on the thousand-layer scrap iron ore, while traces of cold smoke eroded the scrap iron ore.
The cold smoke of Yubei eroded the non-iron ore into a hole the size of a door. Qing Ge was uncontrollably excited and started shoveling scrap metal with the King Ming knife.
"General Liu, don't stand here, come over and lend a hand and help me."
Qingge shoveled and waved at the same time.
Liu Yunchang once suspected that she had been deceived, but finally decided to help and showed off her sharp weapons.
I saw two women, one emperor and one general, shoveling scrap metal in a lively manner.
Finally, the scrap metal that had been corroded by the cold smoke from the north was shoveled out.
Liu Yunchang was sweating profusely and looked a little disgraceful. She looked at Qing Ge and asked, "Dong Emperor, have you had enough trouble?"
"General, look..." Qingge looked down excitedly. A strong red light shone on Qingge's cheeks, reflecting the radiance in her beautiful eyes.
Liu Yunchang blinked her eyes, frowned subconsciously, and then slowly looked down.
In the dark scrap metal cave entrance, fiery light shines in every corner.
"This is……?"
Liu Yunchang took a deep breath, as if she vaguely understood what it was, but was not sure.
"Yuanjing, it's Yuanjing."
Qingge smiled and held Liu Yunchang's hand: "The shallow layer under the wasteland of thousands of miles is the well-known waste iron vein, and under the waste iron vein that is difficult to eradicate, there are countless Yuanjing mines.
General, we spent 500 million gold coins to buy a thousand-mile Yuanjing mine.
This wasteland will be where all my hard work and all my expectations for the future in the Heaven of Gods will be placed."
The soft singing calmed down the mood, just like the wind and calm before.
She smiled slightly, raised her hands solemnly, and bowed: "General Liu, can you accompany me to mine Yuanjing, build wasteland, achieve my hegemony in Dongzhou, and make this wasteland the second Zhonglin Mountain?"
Liu Yunchang was in a trance.
It's like an illusion, like a dream.
Her mind went blank, perhaps she was still in shock and had not recovered.
Liu Yunchang only saw Ye Qingge's bright red lips opening and closing, speaking exciting and passionate words.
"General?"
Qingge smiled lightly, showing her white teeth and her eyes shining brightly.
Liu Yunchang raised her head, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
Finally, as a "clang" sound sounded, Liu Yunchang suddenly threw the weapon in her hand to the ground.
But at the next moment, Liu Yunchang bent one leg, knelt on one knee in front of Qingge, touched his fists and cupped his hands and said: "I, Liu Yunchang, am willing to chase my emperor to death and achieve eternal supremacy until my body disappears."
There is no strength left in this world to take up arms!"
At this moment, Liu Yunchang repented.
Ye Qingge entrusted such a good thing to her.
Liu Yunchang, as the general of the clan, certainly understands the importance of Yuan Jing.
Ye Qingge trusted her so much and trusted the subordinates she brought, but she couldn't bear the hardship and even took the lead in complaining.
Liu Yunchang bit her lower lip tightly, knelt on the ground and lowered her head.
Qingge smiled and helped Liu Yunchang up: "Okay, I look forward to the general's achievements!"
"Isn't the Eastern Emperor afraid?
If the Yuanjing matter is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous and will bring disaster to Dongzhou!"
Liu Yunchang asked.
Qingge smiled and said: "Afraid, of course I am afraid, so I am cautious and uneasy.
But I trust the general and will never betray me.
I also believe in General Liu’s ability to lead troops. None of those 30,000 soldiers will betray Dongzhou! That’s enough!”
Liu Yunchang was always enlightened, extremely grateful, and wanted to kneel down again.
This time, Qingge supported Liu Yunchang: "General Liu, you left the clan and made a lot of determination. Accompanying me to expand the territory is indeed thousands of times harder than working in the clan."
"How can we be at ease when we are born as human beings?
Only through hard work can we ride the wind and waves, go upstream and open up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers!"
Liu Yunchang said with enthusiasm.
Qingge smiled brightly, stretched out her white and tender hand, and patted Liu Yunchang's shoulder: "Good general!"
