In the evening of the third day, Ye Zheng and Liu Chengfeng had finished dinner together. They had just returned to their residence and were about to smoke a cigarette and take a shower. Suddenly, they heard someone outside the door announcing, "Alliance leader, Mr. Wang Bao ask to see."
When Ye Zheng heard that Wang Po had arrived, he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and ask Mr. Wang Po to come in and see me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Po walked in with a smile on his face and said, "I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."
Ye Zheng saw that his brows were full of joy, and his heart suddenly moved, and he said: "Sir, could it be that the recruitment matter has been settled."
Wang Po smiled slightly and said: "Thanks to your great blessing, this negotiation is completely under our control."
Hearing this, Ye Zheng said happily: "Could it be that King Liang really promised to make me the lord of a city, but he just doesn't know where the state city under my jurisdiction is on the border of the empire."
After Wang Po heard this, his face suddenly became a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this recruitment negotiation went much smoother than I expected. When I negotiated with Li Yuanchong yesterday, I had a tough attitude. We put forward our conditions, saying that if you want your Majesty to accept the imperial court's offer, you must be granted the title of Governor of a county, and the county under your jurisdiction must be on the border of the Great Lie Empire. , when Li Yuanchong heard my lion speak loudly, his expression froze obviously, and then he said goodbye and left, wanting to report our conditions to King Liang. He also said that the matter of conferring the title of governor was very important. It is very important. Although King Liang is the vassal king, he does not have the right to make decisions, so he must report it to the court before the matter can be decided."
Having said this, Wang Po paused, took a deep look at Ye Zheng, and then continued: "Originally, I thought that King Liang would not agree to the extremely demanding condition of being granted the title of Governor, but... , What I never expected was that Li Yuanchong came to the city again this afternoon, and he actually told me with a calm expression that King Liang had reported the matter to the court, and the court had agreed to the terms of our recruitment and promised to grant him the title of Lord. As the governor, I will also choose a county on the border of the empire, and let you take office soon and take charge of the ten cities in that county."
Hearing this, Ye Zhengdang was stunned for a moment and said: "The matter of recruitment is that simple. We put forward such outrageous conditions and Prince Liang was able to agree. This is too smooth. Do you think there will be something wrong in the meantime?" There will be no fraud.”
Wang Po nodded and said: "I also have this idea, but you can't tell me whether it is a deception. As long as the imperial edict arrives and is announced to the world, all the answers will be revealed immediately, so we have nothing to say now." Don't worry about it, just wait for the great emperor to issue the imperial edict."
Ye Zheng also felt that what he said was reasonable, and immediately said: "If King Liang dares to deceive me with the matter of recruiting people, I will definitely make him suffer and walk away, hum..."
Speaking of this, he seemed to have remembered something again, and then asked Wang Ping: "Hey, sir, there is one thing that I am very strange about. As far as I know, the capital of the Dalie Dynasty is Danyang. Danyang is far away from Jinzhou City, so it should not be said. No less than a thousand miles away, such a long journey, even if King Liang sent people to ride fast horses day and night to report to the imperial capital, it should take more than ten days. However, the sir only proposed the conditions yesterday, why? Can Prince Liang give an answer today? Can he get the emperor's decision from the imperial capital in just one day? In my opinion, there must be fraud in this."
Hearing this, Wang Po chuckled and said: "I don't know what you are aware of. The current state religion of the Great Lie Dynasty is the Tianshi Sect. There is a group of experts in the Tianshi Sect who are known as ninth-grade magicians. These ninth-grade magicians Masters, they will all be proficient in a magical magic called Thousand Miles of Sound Transmission, because each vassal king will have such a magician beside him, in order to be able to transmit some urgent messages to the destination in a timely manner. Go to the palace of the imperial capital so that the emperor can make decisions and issue orders to convey the decree."
After listening to his explanation for a while, Ye Zheng suddenly realized it and exclaimed repeatedly: "I see, that's it. I didn't expect that there is such a magical magic in this Tianshi sect. It really surprises me. In this way, Prince Liang today The reply makes sense."
At this time, Wang Po pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, if nothing else happens, King Liang will send someone to pass the emperor's imperial edict to the city tomorrow. As soon as we receive the imperial edict, all Then things will become clear.”
Ye Zheng nodded and said: "That's true. Time waits for no one. We have occupied Jinzhou City now. We are not in a hurry for a while. We can hold on and delay it for ten days and a half, but King Liang can't He can't wait any longer for a day, I guess he is rushing back to Cangliang Pass right now."
When Wang Po heard this, he nodded in agreement and said: "What your Majesty said is true. If there is no such thing, then I will not disturb your Majesty's rest. I will retire."
Seeing that Wang Po was about to leave, Ye Zheng did not deliberately try to persuade him to stay. After all, it was getting late and it was time to have a good rest. Besides, Wang Po must have been very busy these days in order to recruit people, so he was already very tired. It's better to go back and rest early.
After seeing off Wang Po, Ye Zheng went to visit Deng Sanniang again, and then returned to his residence to rest.
Sure enough, early the next morning, King Liang, who was stationed outside the city, sent someone into the city to read out the imperial edict.
Originally, according to the rules, all the troops who were recruited were required to take off their armor and kneel down to greet them outside the city gate to receive the imperial edict. But who are these desolate and fierce bandits like Ye Zheng? Who would take advantage of you, the Great Lie Dynasty? Bullshit rules. Besides, Ye Zheng and the others were just pretending to surrender this time. To put it bluntly, these desolate and ruthless bandits under Ye Zheng didn’t even pay attention to the Emperor. Otherwise, how could they dare to become bandits?
At this time, when Leader Ye, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, heard that the imperial edict had arrived, he immediately said disapprovingly: "Let the eunuch who read out the imperial edict come to the city lord's palace to read out the imperial edict. I am too lazy to go out of the city."
After receiving Ye Zheng's order, several bandits quickly ran outside the city and conveyed Ye Zheng's message to the eunuch who read out the imperial edict, telling them that they should hurry into the city and not do anything. I want to make our leader impatient to wait.
As soon as these words came out, the eunuch and eunuch responsible for conveying the imperial edict almost went crazy.
You know, like the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, when he delivered the imperial edict in the past, he was not treated with care and held high by others. Never was he treated with such arrogance, rudeness, and arrogance as he is today. If it hadn't been for this Next, King Liang emphasized that the imperial edict of recruiting people must be sent to the city as soon as possible, otherwise, he would definitely let the arrogant Ye Zheng know about his vicious methods.
At that moment, he snorted coldly with a livid face, and then went straight to the city lord's office with the imperial edict in hand.
