In the center of Hongwu City, the capital of the southern province, the center of the most prosperous street, a mansion with a large area, magnificent area, a group of buildings stand in groups and is decorated in extremely luxuriously.
An old man wearing brocade clothes with strong bones and majestic face frowned slightly, and a faint sadness flashed through his eyes.
"Grand Duke, according to reliable news, Ye Chen will appear outside Hongwu City at noon tomorrow!"
A middle-aged man wearing a black brocade dress with a long sword full of gems hanging around his waist, and his hair was disheveled, looking at the majestic white-haired old man with a plain look on his face and said.
"Wang Yu, you are the smartest strategist under my command. What do you think Ye Chen has the intention to come to our Hongwu City this time?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the old man with white hair, Fei Li, the grand duke of the south, asked in a worried tone.
"Great Duke, with your wisdom, you should be able to see Ye Chen's plan. Why do you want to ask me in such a way!"
As soon as Fei Li's voice fell, the middle-aged man named Wang Yu said lightly with a calm expression on his face.
"Although I guessed Ye Chen's plan, I'm not sure. I hope I can get a positive answer from you!"
Hearing Wang Yu's unpolite answer, Fei Li didn't care or get angry, but just shrugged helplessly.
"Since the Grand Duke said that! Then, I have nothing to hide! Ye Chen came to Hongwu City this time to find an opportunity to get rid of the Grand Duke and support an obedient person to rule the southern provinces. It was like he executed the general of the Southern Border Army as a general who colluded with rebellion, and placed his confidant in the Southern Border Army, and controlled 200,000 southern Border Army in his hands."
Hearing Fei Li's words, Wang Yu replied lightly.
"You are the same as I thought! Ye Chen is not only extremely powerful, but also has many holy-level warriors under his command, and the overall power is extremely strong. Not to mention me, a small big duke, even if the entire Wu Kingdom unites, he is not the opponent of Ye Chen's army! Under such circumstances, there is still turmoil in Wu Kingdom. Even God does not bless Wu Kingdom!"
As soon as Wang Yu's voice fell, Fei Li sighed lightly and said with a helpless look on his face.
After the war between Ye Chen and Wu Kingdom ended, Fei Li sent many spies to Qinglong County and Linhai County. He had a clear understanding of Ye Chen's own strength and power, and knew that Ye Chen not only had the strength of a high-level holy warrior, but also had many holy warriors under his command, and the army under his command was well-equipped and extremely powerful.
As the saying goes, the more you know, the more you feel that you are insignificant! It is precisely because Fei Li has a clear understanding of Ye Chen's strength that he gave up his plan to resist before the two sides confronted each other.
"The Grand Duke, Wu Guo has been in peace for hundreds of years, and it's time to change his master! If you don't want to be buried with Wu Guo, it's best to convey goodwill and intention to surrender to Ye Chen! I think, with the status and identity of the Grand Duke, Ye Chen will definitely be happy to accept it and give the Grand Duke preferential treatment."
Hearing Fei Li's emotion, Wang Yu knew that he had made up his mind and said with a faint smile on his face.
As the chief strategist of the Grand Duke, after obtaining Ye Chen's power, he immediately gave up his plan to directly confront Ye Chen and began to persuade the Grand Duke to surrender to Ye Chen, get preferential treatment, continue to enjoy wealth and honor, and leave a rich family property and a high starting point for his descendants.
"Well, I believe Ye Chen will give me preferential treatment! After all, the unconditional support of a great duke will have great benefits for his future rule of the Wu Kingdom! Also, when Ye Chen comes to Hongwu City, I will recommend you to him. As for whether Ye Chen will enable you, it depends on your own ability!"
Hearing Wang Yu's words, Fei Li nodded gently and said, seeing the faint smile on Wang Yu's face.
He knew that Wang Yu was very energetic and wanted to make achievements, so he would have made great achievements. He was very dissatisfied with the position of chief adviser of the Grand Duke's Mansion. If it weren't for his kindness, he would have resigned long ago and made a great effort to make a fortune!
Therefore, after he decided to surrender to Ye Chen, he gave him freedom, allowing him to become Ye Chen's confidant through his own efforts, and then became one of the core of Ye Chen's power.
"Then I'll have to ask the Grand Duke!"
Hearing Fei Li's words, Wang Yu's smile became stronger.
Although he is confident that he will be appreciated by Ye Chen with his own talents, if he has the recommendation of the Grand Duke, he can save him a lot of time and energy.
At noon on the second day, Ye Chen rode a black horse and led an army of 20,000 elite troops outside Hongwu City.
At this time, the gate of Hongwu City opened. A mighty and majestic soldier wearing iron armor and holding sharp weapons, stood quietly on both sides of the city gate like a statue. Fei Li, the grand duke of the south, and Wang Yu, the chief adviser, stood quietly at the gate with the officials of Hongwu City, waiting for Ye Chen's arrival.
Seeing the gate of Hongwu City open and welcoming guests, a hint of surprise flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. He raised his right hand and stopped moving forward and stationed on the spot. He himself took Ada and A Er and others to gallop towards the city gate.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen rushed to the gate of Hongwu City, and Fei Li and Wang Yu, who were standing at the gate of the city, led the officials of Hongwu City to meet them with a smile on their faces.
"General Ye, welcome to Hongwu City!"
Fei Li looked at Ye Chen on the black horse with a smile and said loudly.
Hearing Fei Li's words, Ye Chen realized that the other party was so stunning. It turned out that he was welcoming him. While he was secretly surprised in his heart, he immediately turned over and dismounted, looking at Fei Li with an excited look on his face and said, "What kind of virtue is Ye Chen? I actually let the Grand Duke come to greet him in person. It's a sin!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Fei Li replied with a smile: "General Ye is ordered to fight against rebellion. He is a great hero and hero of our country of martial arts. I personally welcome General Ye. It is also my representative to the people of the southern provinces. Thank you General Ye for his great deeds!"
Hearing Fei Li's words, Ye Chen muttered in his heart, not knowing what medicine he was selling or what attempts he had, so he smiled and used his brain to think about Fei Li's purpose of treating him so enthusiastically.
After a greeting, Fei Li smiled and said to Ye Chen: "General Ye, I have arranged the base of your army in the city for you. I will ask my subordinates to lead your army to the base of the city. General Ye will accompany me to attend the banquet I prepared for the general!"
Hearing Fei Li's words, Ye Chen's surprise was even stronger. He didn't expect that Fei Li would dare to let his army enter the city. Wouldn't he be afraid that his army would occupy the city?
Although he was a little surprised by Fei Li's actions, Ye Chen did not refuse, but responded with a smile and asked A Er to take his 20,000 troops to the city's garrison, and he took A Da, Duke Fei Li and officials from Hongwu City to the Duke's Mansion.
During the banquet, with the deliberate cater to Duke Fei Li, the officials in Hongwu City were very active and showed great enthusiasm for Ye Chen's arrival, making Ye Chen the center of the entire banquet, and making Ye Chen even more confused.
The banquet soon ended with a happy ending, and Ye Chen was also invited by Fei Li to his study.
After randomly looking at the thousands of books in the study, Ye Chen pulled a chair, sat on it, and looked at Fei Li with a calm look on his face and said, "Grand Duke, thank you for your warm hospitality today! I wonder if you asked me to come to the study, what's wrong?"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Fei Li did not answer immediately, but pulled a chair and sat opposite Ye Chen. He looked at Ye Chen for a while before slowly saying: "Ye Chen, I have also been going around with you! I am willing to support you unconditionally ascend to the throne of the Kingdom of Wu!"
Hearing Fei Li's words, Ye Chen opened his eyes wide, stared at Fei Li's eyes for a long time, and then said lightly: "Why?"
As soon as Ye Chen's voice fell, Fei Li stared at Ye Chen's eyes tightly and said, "It's very simple! Because, I have a lot of spies in Qinglong County, Linhai County, or the current Miracle City, and have a clear understanding of the strength you have! Unless you have no thoughts about Wu Kingdom, the entire Wu Kingdom will definitely become your pocket! I don't want to be a stepping stone for your rise, nor do I want to disappear with the disappearance of Wu Kingdom. I can only rely on you and continue to enjoy endless wealth and glory!"
When he heard Fei Li say that Qinglong County and Miracle City had a large number of spies, Ye Chen's face showed a sudden look.
Seeing Ye Chen not speaking, he just looked at him with a smile on his face. Fei Li smiled bitterly and took out a detailed map of the southern provinces, the defense maps of each city, the registration book of the population of each city in the southern provinces and the roster of officials from the space ring, and handed it to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen took the drawings and roster from Fei Li with a smile, and put them into the space ring. Then he looked at Fei Li and said, "Duke, don't worry, as long as I, Ye Chen, still live in this world one day, as long as you and your descendants abide by the rules I set, then you and your descendants will live a life of prosperity and wealth forever!"
As a hereditary duke, Fei Li, the grand duke of the South, not only has a deep-rooted network of relations in southern provinces, but also has a huge network of relations in the imperial capital and other provinces. Ye Chen was able to get his unconditional support and was of great help to Ye Chen conquering Wu Kingdom and gaining the loyalty of tens of millions of people in Wu Kingdom.
After receiving Ye Chen's guarantee, a faint smile appeared on Fei Li's face, he clapped his palms, and Wang Yu, dressed in black, entered the study from outside.
"General Ye, this is my chief adviser Wang Yu. It was under his persuasion that I made up my mind to surrender to you! Now, he wants to serve General Ye, and hope that General Ye will give him a chance!"
After looking at Wang Yu, a complex look flashed in Fei Li's eyes, and then he looked at Ye Chen with a serious look on his face.
Seeing Fei Li speaking with a serious face, Ye Chen straightened his body and said seriously: "Don't worry, as long as Wang Yu can pass my test, I will definitely use it to fully utilize his intelligence and talents so that he can realize his dreams in his heart!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, when seeing Ye Chen's serious look, Fei Li nodded gently and said, "I have some things to deal with, let's take a step first, and you can chat slowly!"
After saying that, Fei Li looked at Wang Yu deeply, got up and left the study.
"Show your abilities!"
After Fei Li left, Ye Chen looked at Wang Yu with a scrutiny gaze for a while before saying in an expectant tone.
His power is getting stronger and stronger now, and his demand for counselors is getting greater and greater. If Wang Yu can satisfy himself, he doesn't mind giving him a chance to display his talents.
