About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong, who were kneeling on the ground, were in a state of dismay, heard the other Jiedushi standing beside them, and bowed and greeted each other: "Greetings to King An!"

Chen Yuanqing was shocked. King An really appeared? He thought so in his heart, but hesitated without hesitation, and quickly followed everyone to make a bow gesture.

"All old friends, everyone should get up."

Chen Yuanqing heard a thick and calm voice coming from the direction of the main seat. He could no longer suppress the throbbing in his heart and couldn't help but look up.

Who is the young man in the mysterious robe sitting behind the main seat, if not King An Li Ye?

Whether it is appearance, demeanor, or behavior, he is very recognizable, and he can never find a second person in the world!

Chen Yuanqing sweated like rain. When he got up, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to have any disobedience.

He couldn't wait for Wang Rong to make eye contact, and both of them noticed the horror in each other's eyes. With just one look, they made up their minds to kneel down and apologize to King An.

If you don’t admit your mistakes on your own initiative, are you still waiting for King An to be punished?

The former still has a glimmer of hope, and maybe there will be less punishment, while the latter will inevitably suffer a great disaster and may not be able to protect your life!

However, before Chen Yuanqing could take action, a crisp "thump" sound came from their ears.

The two turned to look and were surprised to find that a military governor had already knelt on the ground.

Before they could react, the other party cried to King An in tears: "I deserve to die for the crime of being a crime, please punish King An! I was disrespectful to the generals of Pinglu before, it was not that I had ulterior motives, but that there was a villain in this town! After General Pinglu left, Beizhi had already punished them heavily, please arrest King An! If King An is not satisfied, Beizhi will take their heads!"

Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong both recognized this person as a humble person, crying and losing his parents. He was Zhou Mingrui, the governor of the Zhongwu Army! Earlier, the other party was Zhu Wen's confidant, but later Zhu Wen fled from Zhongyuan, so he surrendered to Li Ye.

Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong understood the content of Zhou Mingrui's words. After the news of King An leaving the mortal world came, they led their own troops to return to the town first, while the governors of the Central Plains expelled the generals sent by King An to serve as important positions.

Obviously, Zhou Mingrui was repenting and apologizing for this matter.

"This guy actually robs us, it's hateful!" Although Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong understood Zhou Mingrui's situation, they couldn't help but feel annoyed when they were robbed of the first apology position by the other party.

Before Li Ye, who was in charge of the throne, spoke to express his attitude towards Zhou Mingrui, Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong could not help but kneel down on the ground together.

However, before they could hear Zhou Mingrui's appearance, they were already filled with "thump" and "thump" sounds.

The governors of the various vassal states in the Central Plains were not stupid people. After Zhou Mingrui got up, they all fell to the ground one after another, and began to scream in pain: "I am guilty of a humble position, please punish the king!"

In the seven towns of the Central Plains, in addition to the Xuanwu Army in Bianzhou and Zhongwu Army in Xuzhou, there were five military governors. They knelt down with trepidation and were deliberately showing their pain and regret, and shocked the floor. Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong were almost shocked by them.

The two of them were dissatisfied and immediately glared at these people, cursing in their hearts: "A group of villains will change their minds!"

"I am not accused Chen Yuanqing (Wang Rong). I don't know that King An returned to the Central Plains. I had been negligent before, and I deserved to die!" Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong were finally able to fall to the ground smoothly. They knew that they had lost the opportunity and were determined to show their piety, so they spoke very loudly.

Zhou Mingrui and other Central Plains Jiedu were shocked and their eardrums were numb, and they immediately turned around and glared at the two of them.

Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong were not willing to be outdone, so they glared back at the same time.

Then they saw that there was a deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

In an instant, Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong realized that Zhou Mingrui's feelings were not better than them, and maybe they were even more nervous.

After all, they just neglected the order of King An to summon them to Bianzhou, and did not act any substantial disobedience to King An. However, these Central Plains vassal states actually expelled the generals of the Pinglu army!

Zhou Mingrui ignored Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong. He looked back at them and immediately kowtowed to the direction of the master: "Your Highness, you didn't investigate before. In fact, you have always been loyal to Your Highness! From now on, even if you let Your Highness go to the sword, you will never frown!"

Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong were right, and Zhou Mingrui and others were indeed trembling at this moment, as if they were in the abyss.

They had received news before that the Pinglu army was willing to help them resist the Wu army and Shu soldiers, so they rushed to Bianzhou, but they never thought that after they arrived, they were taken care of by the great monks from the Qingyi Yamen. At this moment, they even saw King An. They could not understand what was going on. They were all worried that their families would be in danger.

Although Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong neglected the An Wang military order, they responded to the An Wang military order and went to the Central Plains to fight with him, and they worked hard.

These Central Plains vassal states were different. They had just surrendered to King An, but King An did not pursue their past bad deeds as accomplices of the tiger, but still asked them to be governors. Their grace was not light. But they did not make any contributions, and they did the expulsion of King An's generals. How could they not anger King An and survive?

At this moment, he was in the tiger's mouth. With King An's cultivation level, it would be easy to kill them.

......

Li Ye looked at the governors who were bowing to the ground in the hall, his eyes were indifferent, without any emotion.

He said lightly: "After all, you are the governors of a town, with 100,000 soldiers in your hands, and control the military and political affairs of several states and dozens of counties. The people under your rule are no less than one million. The people call you princes. Why are you as timid as a mouse and as anxious as a dog that is lost at this time? The king of the orphans are so disappointed."

Zhou Mingrui, Chen Yuanqing and others looked at each other, and their hearts were extremely bitter.

"King An is here, how dare we be arrogant?"

"Although Bei Yi is the governor, he is just a mustard of grass compared to His Highness!"

"Your Highness, King Weihe, let me wait for fear."

"Your Highness has a heroic life, and everyone knows it. Everyone is afraid of it. King Qi, King Wu, King Shu and others are like pigs and dogs, let alone waiting..."

Everyone talked and said everything they could to flatter, for fear that if they didn't say a few more words now, they would never have the chance to speak in their lives.

Li Ye glanced at everyone without commenting. His eyes finally fell on Xue Wei, Kang Chengqian and others, and said slowly: "You think, how should the Lone King deal with these military governors?"

Xue Wei, the governor of the Tianping Army, quickly clasped his fists and said righteously: "These rats do not respect the king's orders. If the following offenders are the best, they should be killed!"

When he said this, he looked down at Zhou Mingrui, Chen Yuanqing and others, full of condescending pride.

Unlike these people, Xue Wei was one of the first batch of military governors who followed Li Ye to fight in all directions. He was relatively loyal to Li Ye, only worse than the old subordinates of Pinglu Army. Before, even when news of Li Ye going to the Immortal Realm came, Xue Wei did not fight against Pinglu Army, but still maintained the minimum respect.

Not to mention how long this respect can last when Li Ye has never appeared, but he did this before, which is in sharp contrast with Zhou Mingrui, Chen Yuanqing and others.

Therefore, when seeing Li Ye again at this moment, Xue Wei was excited and secretly thanked for his wisdom and felt a lot of superiority.

Li Ye did not comment.

Kang Chengqian glanced at Li Ye, thought about the other party's meaning, and said carefully: "Your Highness, although these people are not allowed to be punished, the war in the Central Plains is about to rekindle. Just when people are being used, I think that it may not be possible to give them a chance to redeem their sins."

Li Ye nodded slightly, but still couldn't draw a conclusion.

The reason why he asked Kang Chengqian, Xue Wei instead of Li Zhen, Liu Dazheng and others was because the latter was his old subordinates and his loyalty to him was beyond doubt. However, Kang Chengqian and Xue Wei's opinions could show their respective mentalities.

As Li Ye expected, Xue Wei, who was reckless and simple-minded, and Kang Chengqian, who was quite wise and steady, both gave suggestions that should be given.

In the panic of Zhou Mingrui, Chen Yuanqing and others, Li Ye finally spoke without any haste: "Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong, you two have been following the orphan king for war and have made great contributions. Although you neglected the orphan king's military order this time, Nian'er and others have no intention of rebellion. Let's not punish them for now, and see how you perform later."

"Zhou Mingrui and other military governors of the Central Plains, and you expelled the generals of the Gu Wang, describing rebellion. The Gu Wang hated him deeply and should have been punished according to the court's laws! However, Nian Er and others were the first offense and did not cause serious consequences. They also sincerely regretted it at this moment, so the Gu Wang gave you a chance to make contributions and atone for your sins."

"Do you have any objections?"

Everyone was overjoyed and thanked him one after another. Some people couldn't help crying, not knowing whether they were so scared that they were soon wet their pants or deliberately showing their fear to show Li Ye.

Next, Li Ye arranged what he should have in the future and assigned specific tasks to everyone.

There are only three central ideas. First, the generals of the Pinglu Army and the Qingyi Yamen monks who were expelled by the towns before will enter each town again; second, the towns are ready to cooperate with the Guanzhong army to be dispatched to give the Wu army and Shu soldiers a head-on attack; third, all arrangements must be kept confidential and no one below the Jiedushi must know whoever leaks the news will kill the nine clans!

......

Because the situation was urgent, summoning the governors of each town was a secret act. After the task was issued, Li Ye asked the monks from Qingyi Yamen to "escort" the governors of each town to return to the vassal states, and then "protect" them in person, and even the banquet was not held.

At night, Li Ye returned to the courtyard to take a shower and change his clothes. When he finished his work, Miss Xu brought food as usual.

"Mr. Li...King An, your performance today is so good, it's simply impeccable!"
