Yang Ye and Ying Li left the imperial study and walked all the way to the outside of the palace. The two of them talked and discussed with praises in their mouths. They both felt that it was a great honor to serve under Emperor Chu.
Traveling all the way to the Chu Kingdom, what they saw and heard along the way gave them a deep understanding of Chu Feifan.
He loved the people like a son, treated them well, and governed the country well. When people along the way talked about Emperor Chu, they all looked in awe, and their eyes were even more pious.
Just now in the Imperial Study Room, the two of them met and strengthened their thoughts. They felt that Ziyun surrendering to the Chu State was the best choice, and they were full of praise for Yang Yansi beside them.
Yang Ye was a loyal and brave man, very wise, good at riding and shooting. He was a man who would be remembered for centuries. Chu Feifan looked at him and said something as he left.
"Mr. Yang is so loyal and steadfast, I'm so lucky to have him!"
Ying Lin and Yang Ye are in-laws, and they are very upright and upright. They are good at wielding a thunderous and heavy sword.
Chu Feifan had a very pleasant conversation with the two of them, and was immediately rewarded in the imperial study. Yang Ye made him the third-rank Shence General, and Ying Lin the fourth-rank Shenwu General.
The two men may not be as fierce and fierce as the younger generation of generals on the battlefield, but they are good at using troops, familiar with the art of war, and their rich experience makes them commanders of an army without any problems.
Yang Ye and Ying Lin did not stay in the imperial city, but asked them to return to Longcheng after the New Year and guard Ziyun County together with Bai Qi, Yue Fei and Qin Qiong.
Ziyun Empire is adjacent to the Liang Kingdom, Hanqing Dynasty, and Cangsong Kingdom in different directions. They are all eager wolves and have to beware.
and.
As Yang Ye said, except for the Hanlin Army and the old Yang Jiajun, the remaining soldiers under their command have long lost their spirit, so the heavy responsibility of training the soldiers also falls on them.
A month passed quietly, and as the new year approached, all the memorials from various places were piled up in the imperial study.
Looking at the pile of memorials on the wooden table in front of him, Chu Feifan's eyes flashed with light, he raised his hand to open the memorials and began to review them.
New Year is coming.
He wanted to finish the government affairs early in the new year and take time to spend time with his daughters.
The war in the time-traveling continent lasted for one year. In this year, Chu Feifan experienced life and death, and had a love that traveled through thousands of years. The foundation of the Chu country was gradually stabilized, and it was time to take a vacation for himself.
In the following time, he has been handling government affairs in the imperial study, money and food were safely transported to various places, and all the notes handed over by the various state governments were to thank the emperor for his magnanimous grace.
The three generals Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Qin Qiong have begun to rebuild the border cities, thickening and raising the city walls, digging the moats, and setting up the city with bows and crossbows.
And at this time.
In the imperial capital of the Liang Kingdom, at the foot of Jinling City, a group of iron cavalry came with their horses neighing in the wind. The dark netherworld flags were flying, hunting and roaring in the void.
Youzhou King Xiao Zhan personally led 10,000 ghost cavalry towards the city. Seeing the mighty army approaching, the city guard looked panicked and his eyes flashed with panic.
The army of Nether Riders outside the city has not yet arrived, but the strong murderous aura in the void has annihilated them, making people terrified.
Xiao Zhan had not returned to Jinling for more than ten years. The guard on the city did not recognize the Nether Rider and quickly turned around to beat the drum and ring the gold.
"Close the city gate!"
"Hurry and close the city gate!"
A sudden army emerged and approached the city. The defenders were in panic, and their trembling roars echoed in the void.
"The King of Youzhou returns to the capital, and the rest of the people are waiting to retreat quickly!"
A frantic and cold voice sounded, and the defenders on the city turned pale. The King of Youzhou was second only to the emperor in the Liang Kingdom. He had guarded Youzhou for decades and repelled invading powerful enemies countless times.
The existence most feared by all countries, the legend of an undefeated military god is widely spread among the military.
far away.
A maroon war horse with a round back and thick limbs. It runs with all four hooves in the air, showing a majestic appearance.
The man on the maroon horseback is extremely handsome, his face is as clear-cut as a sculpture, angular and angular. He looks unrestrained on the outside, but the glint in his eyes that is inadvertently revealed makes people dare not look down upon him.
He has thick black hair, a pair of sharp eyebrows and a sharp gaze like an eagle looking towards the city. He is wearing a white cloak that is fluttering in the cold wind.
"It seems that I have not returned for decades and have not entered Jinling City for a long time. No one here knows about my existence."
"My lord, please forgive me. I will go forward and report this immediately!"
The black-armored general on the side looked panicked. Xiao Zhan had been following him since he was fifteen years old. He knew his nature well, and it was obvious that there was anger in his tone at this moment.
The black-armored general galloped forward on his horse, whipped his whip, and the city guard rushed down in panic.
City gate.
The guard general stood tremblingly, watching Xiao Zhan coming on horseback. His face was as pale as paper, and his figure suddenly knelt down.
"We'll welcome King Youzhou back to the capital!"
Xiao Zhan patted the Malay Road guard in front of him and glanced at him sharply. The riding whip in his hand made a sound, and a red shadow swept towards the end of the long street.
Looking at Xiao Zhan walking away, the guard was agitated, his whole body was wet with cold sweat, his throat was rolling, he clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, looking relieved.
When King Youzhou returned to Beijing, the news spread like wildfire, spreading throughout Jinling in an instant.
In the palace.
Xiao Yu was reviewing memorials in the imperial study room. Gao Xiao walked into the hall quickly, stepped forward with a hasty expression, raised his fist and saluted.
"Your Majesty, King Youzhou has entered the capital and has arrived at the palace and is walking towards the imperial study."
"Why is he back!"
"Without my edict, he actually dared to lead troops into Jinling privately. What on earth did he want to do?"
Xiao Yu raised his hand and slapped the memorial on the wooden case. His figure rose up and a cold voice sounded.
The appearance of King Youzhou has become blurry in his mind. For ten years, although Youzhou is the land of Liang Kingdom, he does not care at all. King Youzhou has always been in charge, and the court has not given any
s help.
If Youzhou didn't return to Jinling in person today, Xiao Yu would have almost forgotten his existence.
moment.
There was a rush of footsteps, and Xiao Yu knew that he had arrived. He straightened his sleeves, sat down on the wooden chair, and looked calmly at the entrance of the palace.
Xiao Zhan was dressed in military uniform, with a broad sword hanging from his waist, and a strong iron-blooded murderous aura lingering around his body. He walked in with steady steps.
"The humble minister Xiao Zhan pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"
Xiao Zhan restrained his shoulders, knelt down with his fists raised, a strong and thick voice sounded, and he stared at Xiao Yu with burning eyes.
"Brother, please come back quickly!"
"After ten years of separation, the emperor is finally willing to return to Jinling. I have often dreamed of the emperor in my dreams at night."
"Yeah?"
"The Emperor and Wei Chen really have a good understanding of each other. During this period, Wei Chen often had dreams, but the dreams were all about things ten years ago."
"The past is like smoke, vivid in my mind, and my thoughts make me sick. Therefore, I made my own decision and returned to the capital without being summoned by the emperor. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
Xiao Zhan was wild and unruly, a cold light flashed past, and a sonorous and powerful voice sounded.
"The new year is approaching, and the emperor's brother has returned from a thousand miles away. It just so happens that I take this opportunity to have a drink with him."
Xiao Yu was quite afraid of King Youzhou. He had great military exploits and was a powerful figure in the world. He had always been arrogant and unruly. Now that he had entered the capital without being summoned, Xiao Yu had an ominous premonition in his heart.
