On the way to Beiye Prince's Mansion, Xie Yelan sat in the carriage and looked out the window at the admiring eyes of the people.
Of course it's not all admiration, there's also fear, envy, jealousy, and occasionally you'll see resentment in someone's eyes.
But most of the people in Yunzhou City, and even the tens of millions of people under Yunzhou's rule, wanted to think of the benefits of Xie Yelan.
Because the first thing he did after arriving in Yunzhou was to open a warehouse to store grain.
The people of Yunzhou have received benefits, so they naturally want to remember his kindness.
Xie Yelan indicated that he no longer wanted to look outside, and Xiu Wanren, who was sitting opposite, stretched out his hand to close the curtain.
"Is there anything unusual over there in the field?"
he asks.
Xiu Wanren said: "No, our people will go in without anyone noticing, and there will be no flaws at all."
Xie Yelan nodded, and the smile on his lips gradually grew thicker.
"The Beiye Army's food and grass supplies originally came from the Yunzhou treasury."
He said in a calm tone: "I opened a warehouse to store grain after arriving in Yunzhou. Now that the grain warehouse is empty, Tuoba Lie has not jumped out yet, just because he feels that the first summer grain harvest in his farmland is about to be bumper."
Xiu Wanren said: "A martial artist is a martial artist."
Xie Yelan shook his head: "Tuoba Lie is not a simple martial artist. If he is really just a reckless person, how could Bu Guxin be defeated so miserably."
Xiu Wanren nodded: "Your Majesty is right."
Xie Yelan likes to chat with people like Xiu Wanren, because Xiu Wanren is far less smart than him.
He favored Gu Tie, a woman with a superb mind, but he didn't like chatting with Gu Tie because he would always notice that Gu Tie could easily guess his thoughts.
That woman is so smart, so smart that she can lower herself to a lower level to talk to others, and she can do it seamlessly.
Ninety percent of the entire plan was designed by Gu Tie, and only a small part was changed by Xie Yelan.
Of course, those moves that were seen through by the people in Yunzhou City were also thought up by Gu Tie.
Use a group of tough bandits to cause trouble in the world and highlight the incompetence of the Qi military camp.
Then to give people the wrong impression, when Xie Yelan came to Yunzhou, the first thing he had to control steadily was the incompetent Qi Barracks, which once again highlighted Xie Yelan's incompetence.
Jiang Hu, Qi Barracks, these things, this prince wanted to take over completely, but he performed very poorly.
It made people think that the prince was clumsy, but this plan was successful in the early stage.
Using just a few hundred gangsters who deserve to die, you can draw everyone's attention, and then infiltrate and control the farmland.
This is the first step of Xie Yelan's plan.
The second step is to open a warehouse to release grain. Others think that by opening a warehouse, he just wants to use the fastest and most direct means to win over the people.
But in fact, his goal is more direct, which is to make Yunzhou's treasury run out of food.
These two steps are very good, very secretive, and very successful, but these two steps are not the highlight, and the highlight is yet to come.
Xie Yelan came from Geling, so naturally he knew about the Dongbo Mission much earlier than Tuoba Lie and anyone else in Yunzhou City.
Therefore, the matter of the Dongbo Mission has already been part of his plan.
Gu Tie is an incredibly smart woman, with such a thorough and huge plan.
However, Xie Yelan was the one who approved the plan, and the part he changed was indeed a rare omission in the plan.
So Gu Tie deliberately lowered his level to cooperate with Xie Yelan. Of course Xie Yelan was unhappy.
Everyone who talks to Gu Tie will feel like they are taking a breath of fresh air, because her wisdom and knowledge are enough to allow her to communicate with people at any level without any obstacles.
However, Xie Yelan could detect that what others saw as a spring breeze was disgust in his eyes.
The reason why Xie Yelan likes to talk to Xiu Wanren is because Xie Yelan needs to go down a level before Xiu Wanren can understand him.
"We'll arrive at the palace soon."
Xie Yelan said: "Just stay outside the palace gate and don't go in."
Xiu Wanren was a little worried: "Your Majesty, if Tuoba Lie has any evil thoughts..."
Xie Yelan glanced at Xiu Wanren, and Xiu Wanren saw some irony in Xie Yelan's eyes.
Only then did he realize, how could a person like Tuoba Lie let a prince have trouble in the Beiye Prince's Mansion?
"Just wait."
After arriving at the place, Xie Yelan got out of the car, tidied his clothes, and then walked towards the gate of the palace.
From a high place in the palace, Tuoba Yunxi, holding a clairvoyant eye, watched Xie Yelan arrive. She handed the clairvoyant eye to Tuoba Lie aside: "Do I have much to ask of you?"
Tuoba Lie: "More."
Tuoba Yunxi: "..."
Tuoba Lie: "So I don't care about one or two more."
Tuoba Yunxi: "If you want Lin Ye to go to Dongbo, he can go, but he can't be with Xie Yelan's people."
Tuoba Lie couldn't help but smile. His girl's personality was not like a woman at all.
He walked down a few steps and then turned back: "Can you give me an accurate answer? Who do you want to train this Lin Ye to be?"
Tuoba Yunxi: "There is no guarantee."
Tuoba Lie: "That little bastard can't become my brother-in-law!"
Tuoba Yunxi's eyes turned cold.
Tuoba Lie immediately quickened his pace and walked away. As he walked, he said: "It's not suitable. It's too small. Don't harm others."
Tuoba Yunxi stamped his feet, and Tuoba Lie was so frightened that he ran away on the steps and almost sat down on his butt.
About three miles away from the Kitano Palace, in this poor land in the south of the city, there are also stone towers, and there are more than one.
Yunzhou, also known as the City of Thousand Towers, can be seen almost everywhere you go.
The oldest of these stone towers are thousands of years old and are incomplete. The best-preserved ones are those built during the Dongbo Kingdom period.
Louran people believe in Zen Buddhism, and Yunzhou City was called Temple City during the Dongbo Kingdom period.
When Zen Buddhism was most popular in this city, it was said that there were three to four hundred temples, all of which were flourishing with incense.
After the decline of Dongbo, most monks went north to avoid the war, and most of them went to Loufan in the north.
The most famous Zen sect that has been spread since then and still lives in the Central Plains is Xisheng Temple.
There is a saying that it is called Nan Xi Sheng, Bei Dayin, and Dayin Temple has now been moved to Loufan State.
The stone tower on the south side of the city has been in disrepair for many years and looks dilapidated.
The man in black robes was standing on the top floor of a stone tower at the window, looking towards the Beiye Prince's Mansion with his clairvoyance.
He still covered his face with a black scarf, still only exposing his eyes.
But at this moment, there was only hatred in these eyes.
Everyone involved in this situation is pursuing the greatest benefit they can get.
And the greatest benefit he pursues is to bring Jiang Qiuse from darkness to light.
Let the son of the leader of the Chao Xin Sect completely get rid of the shadow of the Chao Xin Sect.
"Liquidation."
After a long time, the man in black robe muttered two words to himself.
No one can understand his state of mind at this time, and no one can understand the meaning of the word "liquidation" he said.
However, the liquidation seems to have started more than ten years ago and has never stopped.
Bu Guxin's death is a kind of liquidation, the death of hundreds of gangsters is also a kind of liquidation, and Jiang Qiuse's death can also be regarded as a liquidation.
But among all these reckonings, what the people in black robes felt most deeply was the deception. The reckoning for more than ten years was also the deception for more than ten years.
The sound of deep breathing became louder and louder, and the shoulders of the man in black robes rose and fell.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing the dust on the windowsill, like the smallest tornado.
When the dust flew away, there was no trace of the man in black robe in the stone tower.
Lin Ye returned to Qi Barracks after leaving the martial arts hall. He arrived at the Qi Barracks arsenal alone. There were no particularly powerful weapons here, but there were things he needed.
He actually thought about preparing a handy weapon for himself, but he was really not good at using weapons.
At his current level of strength, he cannot use aircraft and can only fight close to him. Any weapon seems to be inferior to his fists.
"Nothing here can help you."
The voice appeared behind Lin Ye.
Lin Ye didn't seem to be afraid at all, he was just a little surprised because he didn't expect to meet again in the arsenal of the Qi Army Camp.
Lin Ye turned around.
The man in black robe stood not far behind him.
"Master Qian."
Lin Ye leaned over and bowed as a junior.
The man in black robe took off the black scarf on his face. He did not ask Lin Ye why he recognized him. This question was unnecessary.
"Bring the medicinal scripture."
The man in black robe said.
Lin Ye nodded: "Okay."
The man in black robe said: "I didn't tell you the most important function of the Medicine Sutra because I knew you would discover it yourself."
Of course Lin Ye discovered it. Ever since he got the medicinal scripture given to him by Master Qian, he didn't seem to care so much about poison.
Several times when poisoning was mentioned, he had no reaction.
"For small poisons, just smell it. For big poisons, just eat a page. There is no poison in the world that cannot be solved by one page."
Mr. Qian said: "That is my most proud work in more than 100 years."
Lin Ye asked: "When I come back from Dongbo, can I have a drink with you?"
Mr. Qian: "You are still young and don't drink."
Lin Ye: "It's fifteen."
Mr. Qian was silent for a moment and nodded: "Then drink a little."
Lin Ye laughed.
Master Qian said: "If you can come back from Dongbo safe and sound, I will tell you a story. You are responsible for preparing the wine. A worse wine will not be worthy of the story."
Lin Ye nodded vigorously: "Okay."
Mr. Qian walked slowly to Lin Ye and raised his hand to indicate Lin Ye's height.
"It grows so fast."
When he said this, his tone was so complicated that people couldn't fully understand it.
Mr. Qian took out a cloth bag from his arms. It was very small and looked like it just contained a book.
"this is for you."
Lin Ye asked: "What is it?"
Mr. Qian replied: "Knife manual."
Lin Ye was startled.
He looked at the cloth bag: "But... I'm not good at using knives. It's not that I don't know how to use knives."
Mr. Qian: "I used to know how to do it, but I can't do it now."
He said: "A sword is something that a man should have, know how to use, and use to be domineering. Nowadays, people in the world prefer swords... Swords are just accessories, how can they be compared with swords."
Lin Ye was silent for a moment, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Thank you Master Qian for teaching me."
Mr. Qian shook his head: "You are not my successor. You are still too young."
He put the thing in Lin Ye's hand: "Fortunately, you are still young. There are some stories that I would be too old for now. It would be best if you are younger and continue them."
He turned around.
Lin Ye: "Master Qian, only when you are alive can you tell stories."
Mr. Qian did not look back and responded with a smile: "If I was so easy to die, would I still be alive now?"
He said: "This time you go north, you have to walk Beiting Mountain."
Lin Ye was stunned again.
Beiting Mountain, the place where the cowardly army was completely wiped out.
Back then, the Cowardly Army was trapped in Beiting Mountain, but the people who went to move the reinforcements took the reinforcements to Beihang Mountain.
Master Qian's voice sounded in the distance.
"When you come back, it will be time to settle things."
