Chapter 378, the last madness.

Yang Yanzhao still had a good-natured nature. With a smile on his face, he said to Lu Wei: "Master Lu, although my words are a bit reckless, I don't mean to disrespect the imperial edict."

Lu Wei was the third son of Lu Duan, the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He was a gentle man. Lu Wei glanced at Yang Qi, who was slumped on the ground like a scoundrel, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "When I was in Bianjing, I fought with the eighth sister.

I have interacted with her several times and I know the Eighth Sister’s nature well. So Yang Liulang doesn’t need to explain, all the subordinates understand.”

Yang Yanzhao saw that Lu Wei seemed to have no hostility or malice towards Sister Yang, so he nodded with relief, then turned around and glared at Sister Yang fiercely. Yang Qi stared back without showing any weakness. When Lu Wei saw this, he was stunned. Look.

The brother and sister don't get along very harmoniously...

"Cough cough cough..." Lu Duan coughed, interrupting the staring game between Yang Yanzhao and Yang Qi.

"The imperial edict says: Today..." It was another bunch of useless nonsense. Even though Yang Qi threatened that he didn't want to hear it, Lu Wei had to read it. After mumbling for a long time, it was his turn to get down to business. "Zuo Zhengyan said to Yang

Qi, you have left your post without permission, which is a heinous crime. I remember that you are a first-time offender, and for the sake of the Yang family and the country, I will spare you once. Now, Yang Qi has been moved to the left to be the governor of Daizhou Quanzhou, and the judge of Datong Army and Supervisor of the Army. Hope.

If you can fulfill your duties, act prudently, and benefit the country, you will definitely be put to good use when you return to the DPRK one day."

After Lu Wei finished reading the imperial edict, he stared at Yang Qi with a smile and said, "Yang Zhizhou, accept the edict." Yang Qi glared and said, "I won't accept it." Lu Wei held the imperial edict in one hand and twirled his beard with the other, saying quietly:

"If you disobey the order, you will be beheaded." The sword-carrying guards following Lu Duan drew out the long knives from their waists one by one.

"Swish, swish, swish~" Yang Yanzhao's face darkened and he roared loudly, "You girl, you still dare to resist the order and disobey the order. Do you want to make your brother angry to death?" Yang Qi glanced at Yang Yanzhao coldly, and then cast his gaze on

On Lu Wei. "Whose intention is it to let me serve in Daizhou?"

Lu Wei was stunned and said: "Of course it is His Majesty's wish." Yang Qi smiled sarcastically: "What you are holding in your hand is an imperial edict stamped with the seal of Zhongshu Province, not His Majesty's edict..." Lu Weiqian

Baba smiled and said: "I really can't hide it from you. It is His Majesty's intention to keep you in Daizhou, and it is also the intention of Master Pang." Yang Qi sneered: "I want to keep you in Daizhou and not let me return to Beijing.

This is because they are afraid that I will cause trouble when I return to Beijing." Lu Wei knew how capable Yang Qi was of making trouble.

"Yang Zhizhou, accept the edict. If you don't take the edict within this stick of incense, you will be disobeying the edict. Then I won't be polite." Yang Qi stood up and walked to Lu Wei

, accepted the imperial edict. Lu Wei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was really afraid that Yang Qi would refuse to accept the edict and cause a big fuss, which would be difficult to end by then.

However, Yang Qi took the imperial edict and said something quietly, which made Lu Weigang feel relieved again. "I accept this edict. But whether I am the deputy governor of the state, it depends on my mood." Yang Qi seemed to

He stared at Lu Wei with a non-smiling smile and said, "If I resign, I believe that the laws of the imperial court will not be able to restrain me. When the time comes, none of you can stop me from returning to Beijing."

"Resign?!" Lu Wei stared at him and said in astonishment: "Ten years of studying hard in a cold window, and you will become famous in one day. You resigned so rashly, and all the years of hard work have been wasted. Are you willing to do it?" In this feudal world

In a controlled society, resigning is a matter of great courage. Among ten thousand officials, only one or two people who are stupid in reading have the courage to resign. After all, power is the tempting fruit.

, not everyone can throw it away.

Yang Qi's words were a bit arrogant, but Lu Wei had to admit that everything Yang Qi said was true. Because he had another identity. He was a distinguished person. Lu Wei felt as if he had eaten a dead mouse and felt uncomfortable.

He became enlightened at the age of ten and waited until he was twenty-five before he passed the Jinshi examination. Now he is in the fourth rank. Compared with others, Lu Wei is proud.

You, a second-generation official, are so good, why don't you let others live? Lu Duan felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't watch Yang Qi resign and leave. "Yang Zhizhou, have you ever thought about it?

However, once you resign, what will happen to the Datong Army? Your nephew is now in a coma, and your brother, the military governor, will return to the capital. If you resign, then who will manage the Datong Army?

If the Yang family loses the Datong Army, then the Yang family as a general will decline. Can you bear to watch the Yang family decline in your hands?" Lu Wei's words had no impact on Yang Qi at all, because the so-called Datong

Yang Qi despised the army. However, these words hit Yang Yanzhao's weakness.

This is what every general looks forward to. Yang Yanzhao does not want to see the decline of the Yang family after his death, and he will be removed from the generals. After all, if calculated carefully, Yang Yanzhao can be regarded as a prodigal. His father used to

When the family property was passed to him, the Yang family was a vassal with two states.

In his hands, the land of the two states was lost, and he was reduced to a horse boy. Of course, from the national perspective, Yang Yanzhao was a righteous, loyal and brave man. But from the family perspective, Yang Yanzhao was indeed a prodigal boy. So.

, he has lost his family, so naturally he cannot watch his sister lose his family again.

Because the son can defeat the family business, only the Yang family's army will be left. Once he dies, the Yang family will no longer have an army. Then the Yang family will definitely decline.

"Eight sisters, you must not act recklessly." At the critical moment, Yang Yanzhao relented, and he softly persuaded Yang Qi. Yang Qi wanted to say something to Yang Yanzhao, but he looked down on the Datong Army. After all, Yang Qi was still a young man in Tianjing New City.

Deputy Commander. But Yang Peng asked Yang Qi to develop in Daizhou. However, Yang Yanzhao's first expression of earnest eyes made Yang Qi soften. After all, they are brothers and sisters, and Yang Qi cannot be hard-hearted.

"I can agree to stay in Daizhou and serve as the magistrate of Quanzhou, but I have to go back to Bianjing City, even for a few days." Lu Wei's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he said in a deep voice: "If you only go back for a few days, it's not impossible.

Discuss. However, I cannot make the final decision on this matter. I will report it to the Ministry of Education and will be given instructions by Master Pang." Yang Qi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay." That afternoon.

Li Ji led his troops and quickly stationed at Yanmen Pass.

Early the next morning, Yang Yanzhao took half of the remaining Volcano Army soldiers, sixty people, on his way back. At the same time, he also took Lu Wei with him to write a memorial to Master Pang approving Yang Qi's return to Beijing. Lu Wei, as the northwest commander

Following the mission, he also left Yanmen Pass and began to inspect the situation of the northwest armies non-stop. Yanmen Pass had changed its owner, and Yang Qi was not willing to stay longer.

He asked more than 60 soldiers of the Huoshan Army who followed him and 1,500 soldiers of Fan Long's Tianjing New City to carry Yang Gui to Daizhou to take office. Since the Yang family guarded Yanmen Pass, Daizhou has always been Yang Gui.

The family's private land. Therefore, it was not difficult for Yang Qi to go to Daizhou to serve as Quan Zhizhou. From Yanmen Pass to Daizhou, it would take three hours to ride a fast horse and whip the horse. If he walked, it would

It takes one day and one night.

Yang Qi was carrying Gui, a wounded man, so it was impossible for the horse to gallop. He could only hold the horse and lead the people on foot. At night, the group found a hotel at the foot of the mountain to stay. The hotel was very simple, and they slept in Datongbu.

Yang Qi and his group of 60 people rented four Datongpu. Fan Long's army did not follow, and three soldiers of the Volcano Army were accommodated, and one was accommodated for the wounded. After Yang Qi simply ate steamed buns at night, he stayed in the Tongpu

He looked at the wounded inside. The remaining soldiers of the Volcano Army were all rude men. They were very good at fighting, but none of them had any medical knowledge or how to serve others. Yang Qi had only seen them serve the wounded once.

, the corners of Yang Qi's mouth twitched when he saw the rough methods.

No wonder the mortality rate of casualties on ancient battlefields was so high. Serving people one by one was like murder. Yang Qi was barely educated in Tianjing New City and knew some ways to take care of patients. So he took over the task of taking care of patients.

Son.

"Don't move~" Yang Qi was changing the dressing of a little guy who was ten years younger than him. The little guy was seriously injured, but he did not cooperate with the treatment. He lay on the bed and kept turning his head to look at Yang Qi. His back

The wound on his body opened a crack because he turned around and exerted force.

Yang Qi hurriedly took the soju and cleaned his wound again. The little guy suddenly grinned in pain. After re-bandaging, the little guy was flattered and stared at Yang Qi with excitement, and said excitedly: "Miss, I can do it in the future

Can I call you sister?"

Yang Qi turned around and changed the dressing for the little old man next to the little guy. While changing the dressing, he asked casually: "Is there any difference between the eldest lady and the elder sister?" The little guy grinned and said: "Probably... no, right?

..." Yang Qi said casually: "Then it's up to you..."

The little old man lying next to the little guy winked at the little guy. The little guy seemed to be encouraged and said excitedly: "Then can I follow you in the future?" Yang Qi was stunned, and the movements of his hands stopped.

He asked in astonishment: "Why do you follow me?" The little guy held his head high and said righteously: "Since you agreed to let me call you sister, it means that you have accepted me as your family general. I will be your family member."

General, of course I will follow you."

"Boom~" Suddenly, the door of Datongpu was knocked open, and two little guys rushed in, shouting with red faces: "Miss, please accept us too."

In the Datong shop, all the injured who were awake started to boo. "You little bastards, they are young and very minded. They actually want to get close to the eldest lady." "You brats, you have so many evil intentions." "The eldest lady is very evil."

This is not someone who accepts generals casually. Go to Bianjing City and ask, the people who want to be the eldest lady’s generals can be lined up from Bianjing City to Yanmen Pass, and they are all very skilled. Some of them are highly skilled in martial arts. Tell me, you guys

If there is anything worthy of my lady's fancy, I will accept you as my general."

The faces of the little guys turned red. The one lying on the bed tried his best to defend himself: "We are quite capable. In the battle of Yanmen Pass, the three of us killed more than a dozen enemies." There was a man from the Yang family.

The general said quietly: "A general who only knows how to kill is not a good general. A good general must not only be able to kill, but also understand the art of war. If the head of the family goes to the battlefield, there will be a critical moment. The general is the leader of the battlefield.

Grassroots generals.

In this way, the head of the family can flexibly command the army to fight. And the most important point is that he must be loyal." Hearing this, the little guy shouted loudly: "Of course we are loyal. We can help the eldest lady to block arrows on the battlefield.

"One sentence made the joking wounded men in Datong's shop stunned.

They no longer tease the three little guys. "Block arrows." These two words have special meaning in the military. Because those who are willing to help you block arrows are brothers, brothers who are closer than real brothers. They

The reason why these people are still alive is because other brothers sacrificed their lives for it.

Yang Qi raised her hand and slapped the little guy's bare buttocks, and said in a dumbfounded voice: "How old are you, do you know what a general is? Besides, I am a civil servant, what kind of general do I want?" The three little guys heard this.

, lowered his head dejectedly. The little old man who was being given the medicine by Yang Qi suddenly spoke.

"Miss, you are a person who does big things. Naturally, you have to have people around you. When you were in Bianjing, you had Luo Ye following you. In Daizhou, you can't have no one around you to help you. I watched you grow up.

Yes, knowing your nature, these three children will not suffer any loss if they follow you. This child was injured because he helped me, an old man, block the gun.

The little old man looks at it. These three little guys are very kind-hearted and have good character. You should give the little old man some face. Even if you don't accept him as a general, it's good to stay with him as a bodyguard and follower.

." Yang Qi pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "That's all, let them follow. As for whether to accept generals, it depends on their future abilities. The generals around me are not so easy to become.

"

After that night at the hotel, there were three more little tails around Yang Qi. Er Gouzi, Zhong Heng, and Di Sanlang. Er Gouzi's name sounded a bit awkward, so Yang Qi forcefully changed Er Gouzi's name. Yang

Shun.

This is the new name of Ergouzi. This little guy, Zhong Heng, has a bit of background. His grandfather is actually Zhong Fang, a famous Confucian scholar in the Song Dynasty. It stands to reason that having a great Confucian grandfather, Zhong Heng should have a smooth career as a civil servant.

Things went smoothly. However, this little guy was rebellious by nature, didn't like literature, and preferred martial arts. Without telling his family, he secretly entered Yanmen Pass and successfully joined the Volcano Army.

Di Sanlang is an ordinary guy with no background and nothing worth thinking about. He gives the impression that he is as ordinary as a casual guy you meet on the road. He is followed by three little guys.

, Yang Qi’s trip the next day was no longer lonely.

The three little guys were nominally Yang Qi's bodyguards, but they were young and had undecided natures. They ran around all the way and had a lot of fun. Yang Qi also let it go and did not use strict military laws.

Restrain them. As evening approached, everyone finally arrived at Daizhou City.

Just after the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Daizhou City looked a little depressed. The Datong Army barracks five miles outside the city were in dilapidated condition. There were also very few soldiers and horses guarding the city walls. Entering the city, the pedestrians on the streets were sparse in twos and threes, and most of them were

I am disabled. There are many shops on both sides of the street, but many of them are closed. Only a few wine shops and brothels are open.

"Whoosh~" Suddenly, an arrow flew down from a roof and shot at Yang Qi. "There is an assassin." Di Sanlang exclaimed and guarded in front of Yang Qi. The arrow hit Di Sanlang without missing a beat.

One foot in front of Sanlang's feet. "Shua~" The soldiers of the Volcano Army pulled out the long knives from their waists one by one and surrounded Yang Qi with wary faces. Many heads suddenly popped out of the shops on both sides.

, look this way.

Yang Qi chuckled lightly, jumped off the horse, pushed aside the crowd, walked to the arrow, pulled out the arrow, and looked at the skull engraved on the arrow. Yang Qi laughed out loud: "This is

Remind me not to mess around in Daizhou City?" Lao Ge approached Yang Qi and whispered: "Miss, there are many people who are hostile to us in Daizhou City, we should go back first

Other courtyard. It’s safe in the other courtyard.”

Yang Qi waved her hand and said calmly: "No need. It's just a bunch of rats." Yang Qi looked around and snorted coldly: "A bunch of rats, but they are quite courageous. Don't forget, this generation's surname is Yang. And

From now on, I, Yang Qi, will have the final say in this city.

Provoke me? You will pay the price." "In this city, the people living are widows of military martyrs, or brothers who were injured on the battlefield." A dull voice came from deep in the street. Yang Qileng

He smiled coldly and said: "My brother used to let you live freely here. It was because of your merits on the battlefield. However, you have no right to be arrogant. What I give you is yours, but you

You have no right to snatch it from me. If you use your servant to deceive your master, you should die."

"Can you still kill all the people in Daizhou City?" The voice sounded again. Yang Qi looked at the place where the voice came from and said coldly: "You can try and see if I dare to kill.

"Whoosh~"

Another arrow shot over and pierced the arm of Di Sanlang who was blocking Yang Qi. Yang Qi suddenly became angry. "Go out of the city, summon the Datong Army, and enter the city to put down the rebellion." Yang Qi asked someone to help him.

Taking Di Sanlang with him, he took his horse and retreated out of the city.

Deep in the street, there was a group of people ambushing here. A man with one arm missing asked the one-eyed man at the head. "Brother, please let us scare him and tell him not to mess around after entering the city. Now let's force the people away."

What should we do?" The one-eyed man sneered: "What are you afraid of? He can really mobilize a large army to come in. The people living in this city are all soldiers who have contributed to the Yang family and the Huoshan Army.

If Yang Qi dares to raise the butcher knife, then the Yang family will not be able to recruit any more soldiers in the northwest." The one-armed man frowned and said: "But the Yang family is the one in charge of Daizhou City. If we do this, it will

There won't be anything wrong." The one-eyed man said nonchalantly: "Since Yang Yanzhao has handed over this generation of state city to the higher-ups for management, how can there be any reason to take it back? Yang Qi is just a girl.

He has some achievements and wants to seize power from us. He is too self-righteous."

Outside Daizhou City, Yang Qi sat astride a horse, his face ashen. "Who can tell me what happened in Daizhou City?" Lao Ge explained with a bitter face: "Miss, when I voted for the Song Dynasty, the imperial court

He was appointed governor of the current state and appointed envoy of the Datong Army. However, the imperial court did not transfer the previous officials of Daizhou.

I am only good at military formations, not at managing local areas. Over time, these officials from the imperial court got together with the remnants of the Volcano Army who retired." Yang Qi said with a dark face: "Then, my father

Are you being ignored? And you can't bear to attack your old subordinates?" Lao Ge nodded awkwardly.

Yang Qi smiled sarcastically: "No wonder there was no support from Daizhou when Yanmen Pass was in danger." Lao Ge scratched his head and laughed dryly: "The situation in Daizhou City is complicated. We want to take over Daizhou, but how can we

We have to discuss it in the long term." Yang Qi asked back: "How can I have time to discuss it with them in the long term?" Lao Ge smiled bitterly and said, "Does Yang Qi really want to invade Daizhou City?"

Yang Qi said calmly: "Why not?" Lao Ge persuaded: "There are many old men in Daizhou City, and some of them have higher qualifications than me, the little old man. You can't kill them. Once you kill them, the Yang family will

In the northwest, the reputation is bad." Yang Qi laughed angrily, "Could it be that if we don't kill, the reputation of the Yang family will be better? With these servants bullying the master, do you think the Yang family has a good reputation in the northwest?

?

Also, do you think they can live a good life if I don't kill them? Why did the imperial court send Lu Wei to the northwest? To rectify military affairs and supervise government affairs. Once he sees the virtues of Daizhou, do you think he will

Sitting idly by? He actually has the tiger talisman given by the imperial court, which can mobilize more than 100,000 troops in the northwest.

When the time comes, he will arrive at Daizhou City. Do you think the people in the city have other options besides death?" Lao Ge was stunned and said in astonishment: "Lv Wei has a military talisman in his hand?" Yang Qi rolled his eyes.

, said: "Of course." Lao Ge nodded with lingering fear and said: "I understand."

Yang Qi said meaningfully: "I know that you people also have many brothers in Daizhou City. I will give you one day to tell them, bring your family members, and gather at the Datong Army barracks. One day later, I will

We are about to attack Daizhou City. When the time comes, everyone who dares to resist will be killed."

Lao Ge was stunned, stared, and said: "How do you know?" Yang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "If your brothers were not here, would you say good things to them?" Lao Ge's face turned red. Yang Qi left.

Daizhou City, went straight to the Datong Army barracks outside the city. At the same time, he sent Yang Shun to Yanmen Pass to mobilize the 2,000 troops of Zama Hebu who were preparing to retreat.

Now, it was time to use this move. Yang Qi took the remaining people to the gate of the Datong Army barracks. Looking at the Datong Army barracks, which was in tatters and looked like a refugee camp, Yang Qi frowned. Here, Yang Qi frowned.

Before, Yang Qi thought that the Yongning Army's military camp was the worst military camp he had ever seen. It wasn't until he saw the Datong Army's military camp that Yang Qi realized that there was no worst, only worse.

The Datong Army's military camp does not even have a barracks. All the soldiers live in adobe houses that have been in disrepair. The old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers lie in the sun one by one, wailing with sallow faces. Young people

Others get together, gamble, and catch lice.

The only thing that could be seen was the simple blacksmith shop in the corner. However, the blacksmiths in the shop were throwing rusty weapons into the furnace, turning them into molten iron, and shaping them into farm tools.

Some people from Daizhou, who were different from the soldiers in the camp, gathered in twos and threes in front of the blacksmith shop, selecting farm tools. "That's a military camp here, it's just a scum camp." Yang Qi gritted his teeth and entered the camp.

The soldiers of the Volcano Army lined up and entered the camp with neat steps. It immediately aroused the idea of ​​​​some officials in the camp. There was a guy with a mustache, carrying Fan Yangli sideways, rubbing the mud on his body,

Taking eight-character steps, he moved in front of Yang Qi and others.

"You heroes of the Volcano Army, why are you here at our Datong Army barracks?" The man with a mustache rubbed the mud on his armpits, couldn't help but take it out with his hand, sniffed it, and then said happily

asked. Di Sanlang, who had bandaged his wound, stood upright and shouted: "We were ordered to take over the Datong Army."

"Take over the Datong Army?" The man with the mustache raised his head and laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. He ignored Di Sanlang and stepped in front of Yang Qi. "Looking at your appearance, you should be sent by the superiors.

Officer, I'll tell you the truth. Go back. A place like Datong Army is not for a girl like you.

I know that the Volcano Army suffered heavy losses at Yanmen Pass. You want to select strong men from the Datong Army to make up for the vacancies in the Volcano Army. However, our Datong Army has not had strong men for a long time. Now here, we are all a bunch of old and weak men.

Sick and disabled, or just a group of soldiers."

Yang Qi smiled half-heartedly and said: "I just want to earn a salary in the Datong Army." The man with the mustache grinned and said: "You are really good at telling jokes when you come here to earn salary. Brothers have been here for a year.

I have never seen salary money before. It is said that the brothers’ salary money was used by General Yang to subsidize his own army, the Volcano Army.

You came here to earn money, but you came to the wrong place." "Nonsense." Lao Ge said angrily: "The commander-in-chief has never used any military pay from the Datong Army. All the military pay distributed by the imperial court to the Datong Army has been delivered on time.

You are here."

The man with a mustache spread his hands and said: "But the superiors said that General Yang took away all the military pay. That's why there is no pay and silver to everyone. As for which of you is lying, then I don't know." Yang Qi owns it.

He asked thoughtfully: "So who is joining the army in the Datong Army now?"

The man with the mustache said: "Yang joins the army. It is said that he is the nephew of Yang Bao, the city manager." After the man with the mustache said this, he came to Yang Qi's side and whispered: "It is said that this Yang Bao is the nephew of Yang Bao."

He is the illegitimate son of General Yang. Therefore, even if they are greedy for money, you'd better not mess with them. With General Yang protecting them, a low-level official like you can't afford to offend him."

"Ha~" When Yang Bao was mentioned, Yang Qi was a little impressed. It seems that this person was not called Yang Bao before, but was called Qian Bao. Later, in order to curry favor with Lao Yang, he changed his surname to Yang Bao. Every year during the holidays

, the house always receives many gifts from Yang Bao.

If you think about it carefully, Daizhou's corruption is probably related to this guy named Yang Bao. However, Yang Bao is the illegitimate son of Lao Yang. Where do you start talking about this? "I have lived in the capital for a long time, but I have never heard of it.

I told you that General Yang also has an illegitimate son." Yang Qi said funny.

The man with the mustache grinned and said: "It is precisely because you have never heard of it that he is an illegitimate son. If you have heard of it, he is the real young master of the Yang family." Gradually, many people noticed Yang Qi.

As a group, everyone came together.

After someone overheard the conversation between Yang Qi and the mustachioed man, he interjected: "If Yang Bao is not the illegitimate son of General Yang, how could he be wandering around in Daizhou City without anyone controlling him?"

"Yes, yes, since you are from the capital, you must have a lot of connections in the capital. You'd better use your connections to get you out of this place. This place is not meant for people at all." Yang Qi

He smiled calmly and said, "Take it away? You can't leave! Both His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister gave me orders to stay in Daizhou."

"Shout~" All of a sudden, these people started making noises. "Look, you are not very old, and your official position is not much older. You are actually ordered by the emperor and the prime minister to come to Daizhou. Are you in the capital?"

Who have you offended?"

Yang Qi waved his hand, suppressed their chatter, and then said loudly: "Can you pass a message for me?" The man with a mustache stared at Yang Qi with disdain and said: "What are you passing on?

What?" Men in the northwest are all straightforward. They sincerely look down on those who brag in public.

Yang Qi smiled calmly and said: "Within one stick of incense, I want to see all the people from the Datong Army at Dianjiangtai. Anyone who can't come must get out of the Datong Army camp before evening."

What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
