In the main hall, the mainstays of the Yan Kingdom were gathered, including King Yun, the prime ministers, and ministers from various ministries. After questioning the five contestants, different arrangements were made and assigned to various institutions. Only Zhong Mingzhu repeatedly requested to pursue Wu Zhuangyuan to join the army and go to the West.
The Route Army is serving. ?? ??
King Yun glanced sideways, feeling very unhappy. You don't know how to be a noble man. Since you are looking for death, don't blame me for being rude. He nodded and said: "Since you have such ambitions, you should support it. That's right. That's right.
You are given the post of General Commander, and you can follow Commander-in-Chief Swing to the West Route Army."
Ever since his battle with Qiu Yu in Tongguan, Zhong Mingzhu had admired him endlessly. Now that they met again in the capital, they had become sworn friends and cherished each other. When he heard that King Yun had agreed, he was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."
Qiu Yu was also happy to have a good friend accompanying him. Looking over, the two young men looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of vitality.
After the arrangements were completed, everyone left the palace. A group of silver-armored troops were waiting for King Yun outside. Among them was a beast cart pulled by a giant tiger. When Ji Wuji got on the cart, he turned back to look at Qiu Yu, with a twinkle in his eye.
With a sinister look, he seemed to be giving instructions but actually said with a deeper meaning: "The border war is tense and very dangerous. There may be emergencies at any time. Wu Zhuangyuan must be careful when he leads his troops there this time."
The old immortal must have no good intentions. My life is tough, so I need you to remind me. Qiu Yu was not angry in his heart, but he could only endure it in public. How could he be rude to the prince, so he acted respectfully, "Thank you, prince."
I will never forget your care."
Ji Wuji smiled coldly, waved his hand and said: "No need to be too polite, I have always loved talents. I have long known that Wu Zhuangyuan is far from being a thing in the pool. He will surely rise to greatness one day. Take care." The last two words were used.
He snorted from his nostrils, full of disdain, and then got into the beast cart.
The almost arrogant sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and hundreds of silver-armored soldiers riding white horses escorted King Yun away, disappearing around the corner of the city wall under the awe-inspiring eyes of the officials.
There were several other beast-carts parked not far away, all guarded by soldiers, but the scene was much worse. The ministers also resigned from the prime minister, got into the beast-carts and left.
Lang Haohan's face was solemn, and he turned to Qiu Yu and said: "I don't know when I can come back after leaving this time. I still have something to explain, so you can come to my house with me to say goodbye."
Qiu Yu nodded and said: "I am willing to listen to your teachings."
The other contestants were very envious. After all, he was the number one scholar in martial arts. To be so valued by King Yun and the prime minister, it seemed that Qiu Yu would be able to achieve great success soon and would definitely become a pillar of the country.
Lang Haohan then ordered several other people: "You should also go back, rest for a few days, and then go to the relevant agencies to report."
"Here." The contestants agreed in unison, watching Qiu Yu and the Prime Minister riding in a beast cart and leaving under the escort of dozens of soldiers, and then they also dispersed.
When they arrived at the prime minister's residence, Lang Haohan ordered a banquet to be held. The venue was in the study room, which was strictly forbidden to outsiders on weekdays. It was late at night, and two old men in gray were sitting on the glazed tiles on the roof. Their eyes were shining, as if they were squatting.
The standing eagles looked around from time to time. They were the personal guards of the prime minister. They were all strong men in the soul-melting realm. They were on guard here to prevent others from overhearing the conversation between the prime minister and Wu Zhuangyuan.
In the study room, there are fine wines and delicacies on the table. Opposite are two chairs. The prime minister and Wu Zhuangyuan are sitting face to face. They are the pillars of the Yan Kingdom, old and young, but their official positions and even reputations are much different. After all, Lang Haohan is the current leader of the dynasty.
A high-ranking official who has been an official for decades and has disciples all over the world.
Even so, the Prime Minister also attaches great importance to Qiu Yu. Although he is young, he is very capable. There are only a few strong soul-melting people in the entire Great Yan Kingdom who are twenty years old, and he is also the youngest martial artist.
He is the number one scholar, and has superb medical skills. He is a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, a young hero highly respected by the imperial concubine, has a gold medal for immunity from death, and is also the godson of Princess Yanshan...
Lang Haohan knew all this well. The most important thing is that Qiu Yu was the enemy of King Yun, and was the target of the imperial concubine party's training. Based on this, he personally held the pot to pour wine for him, but he poured a cup of tea.
, said: "I have been abstaining from drinking for a long time. Please forgive me, sir. Now I am using tea instead of wine to congratulate you on becoming the new generation of martial arts champion. I am deeply pleased."
Qiu Yu smiled and said, "You're welcome, Prime Minister. I also want to thank you for your continued support. Let's have a drink together..."
After drinking together, he noticed that the Prime Minister's brows were tightening as if he had something on his mind. Qiu Yu asked again, "I wonder what your instructions are?"
Lang Haohan sighed and said helplessly: "Oh, after all calculations, I failed to calculate the last step, which put you in a dangerous situation."
Qiu Yu hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?"
Lang Haohan said in a deep voice: "You don't know something. There are four armies in the Yan State. Among them, the East Route Army and the South Route Army have no tendency to be loyal to King Yan. The commander of the North Route Army and even most of the generals are placed by me. It can be said that they are under our control."
, this West Route Army is the only one directly affiliated with King Yun."
Qiu Yu was dumbfounded. Only then did he understand why King Yun suggested that he join the West Route Army, and why Lang Haohan's face was extremely ugly. He couldn't help but said: "So that's what it is like."
Lang Haohan said bitterly: "Originally, I wanted to recommend you to go to the East Route Army or the South Route Army to cultivate forces there and prepare for big things in the future. You can even go to the North Route Army. You will have smooth sailing if you make contributions here. But
I'm annoyed that that old thief Ji Wuji is so vicious that he wants to place you in the West Route Army. He obviously wants to put you to death. When the time comes, they will take various measures and you will be in a worrying situation."
Frowning his brows, Qiu Yu said angrily: "This old beast really kills people without blood. It seems that he must kill me."
"I didn't think carefully. If you don't go now, you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor and be punished by law. If you go, I'm afraid you won't be much better under the calculations of those guys." Lang Haohan was full of worry.
Tao, even if he is very scheming, he has not come up with an effective way.
Seeing that the other party was worried, Qiu Yu scratched his head. Thinking of the dangers he encountered along the way and how many times he had narrowly escaped death, he felt a surge of pride in his chest. Instead, he comforted him and said, "That's alright, I'll just leave for a while. At worst, I won't follow them."
Fight to the death and the net will fall apart."
A wry smile appeared on Lang Haohan's face, and he thought to himself, after all, he was young. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He didn't think carefully about it, and he didn't want to think about it. The entire West Route Army was under the control of King Yun, and most of them were
You are an old thief. You only lead a thousand cavalry. If there is any conflict, it is not enough to fill the gap between people's teeth. How can you fight?
However, he was also impressed by this courage. Just as he said that, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he chose to go to the tiger mountain. After thinking for a while, Lang Haohan shook his head and said: "Don't force yourself. When you get there, you can act according to the situation to protect yourself."
That's fine. If you can establish military merit, it would be better. I will work harder here so that I can have an excuse to report to the Holy One and try to transfer you as soon as possible."
Qiu Yu nodded, "Just listen to the adults and act like this."
