"Your Majesty, although the Imperial Border Guards are numerous in number, their combat effectiveness is not strong and they are too scattered. They are no match for the armies of the four great Dukes of the Empire. Only by integrating the Imperial Border Guards can we have the ability to compete with the armies of the Four Great Dukes of the Empire.
Ability!
In the past, His Majesty was afraid that the Border Guards would become too powerful and would no longer obey the Empire's orders and become a separatist force like the Four Dukes. He deliberately divided the Border Guards into dozens of small forces to check and balance each other, and ultimately obey the Empire's orders.
The command.
Now, the border guards have combined into a new interest group because of the Ye family's rich industry and become a large military group. Even if His Majesty wants to stop it, he is powerless.
Rather than allowing it to develop freely and become a cancer for the empire, it is better to lead it into battle with the four great dukes of the empire, wear down the strength of both parties, and make its due contribution to the unification of imperial decrees."
The old man wearing the starry sky sacrificial robe glanced at the curious King Wu and said lightly.
"The Imperial Border Guards are not fools. They cannot easily confront the four great Dukes of the Empire!"
After hearing the old man's words, King Wu shook his head gently and said.
"Your Majesty, as long as there are enough benefits, the Imperial Border Guards will definitely take action against the four great Dukes of the Empire to solve your majesty's serious problems. If the Empire can make reasonable use of the power of the Imperial Border Guards, it can solve the four great Dukes and the Imperial Border Guards once and for all.
The two major military groups."
Seeing King Wu shaking his head, the old man said with confidence.
After hearing the words of the old man in the starry sky sacrificial robe and seeing the confident look on his face, King Wu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "We need to plan this carefully,,,"
"Master, His Majesty the King's imperial edict has arrived. Please go outside to receive it!",
A guard from Ye Mansion hurried to Ye Chen's door and shouted loudly.
"Okay, I get it now."
Ye Chen replied casually, then stood up, put the two top-quality spiritual stones in his hands into the space ring, arranged his clothes, opened the door, and walked outside.
Soon, Ye Chen gathered several stewards of Ye Mansion and two personal guards, A Da and A Er, and rushed to the front yard of Ye Mansion.
At this time, a eunuch wearing a khaki robe and holding an imperial edict in his hand was looking at the front yard of Ye Mansion with impatient eyes. Behind him, two burly guards stood quietly.
.
"Master Ye, since you are here, then hurry up and take the order!"
Seeing Ye Chen, the eunuch's eyes lit up and he quickly said loudly that if Ye Ying had not been seriously injured, he would definitely have currying favor with Ye Chen in order to obtain some benefits before sealing himself in the crystal ice coffin.
But now, he has no such intention and does not want to get any benefits from Ye Chen, because he clearly knows that His Majesty Wu Guo has no good impression of Ye Chen. If it were not for the pressure from the Border Guard General Club,
, and seeing Ye Ying's contribution to the Wu Kingdom, Ye Chen was either exiled or imprisoned.
Under such circumstances, as someone close to His Majesty Wu, it was too late to hide, so how could he befriend Ye Chen!
Hearing what the eunuch said, Ye Chen did not hesitate at all, and immediately led several stewards of the Ye family to kneel down on one knee together with Ah Da and Ah Er to welcome King Wu's imperial edict.
"Edict of King Xuanwu: In recognition of General Ye Ying's outstanding contribution to the Kingdom of Wu, Ye Chen, Ye Ying's son, is granted the title of Baron of the Kingdom of Wu, and is granted the title of Linhai County. At the same time, in view of the unstable situation in Linhai County, Baron Ye Chen is ordered to go immediately
When Linhai County takes office, there must be no mistakes.
Since Linhai County is too far away from the empire, the empire does not have strong control over it. In order to facilitate Baron Ye Chen in managing Linhai County, Baron Ye Chen was ordered to price all the Ye family's properties at a price of 300 million gold coins and deliver them to the Imperial Treasury.
, as Linhai County’s century-old tax, I hereby express it!”
Seeing Ye Chen and others kneeling on one knee to receive the edict, the eunuch did not hesitate at all. He immediately opened the edict and read it out. After reading it out, he handed the edict to Ye Chen.
Hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Ye Chen was furious. He could not have imagined that King Wu would be so shameless, giving himself the title of baron, seizing all the property of the Ye family, and banishing himself to Linhai County.
That's right, it's exile. A riot broke out in Linhai County decades ago. The empire's officials and troops in Linhai County were killed by the rioting crowd. King Wu gave Linhai County to Ye Chen as a gift.
Territory, and let him go to Linhai County to take office. If it is not exile, what is it!
Seeing Ye Chen kneeling on one knee, his face was filled with anger and he had no intention of getting up to receive the order. The eunuch holding the imperial edict in his hand sneered and said: "Baron Ye Chen, hurry up and receive the order!"
Seeing the sneer and mockery on the eunuch's face, before Ye Chen could speak, Ah Da and Ah Er behind him became furious and shouted in unison: "Shameless!"
Ah Da and Ah Er are both ninth-level warriors. The angry shouts of the two men were like thunder in the sky, exploding in the front yard of the Ye Mansion. The eunuch holding the imperial edict in his hand was shocked, his face turned pale, and his legs trembled.
, and almost fell to the ground.
Feeling that Ah Da Ah Er's roar contained the sound of thunder, the two tough men standing quietly behind the eunuch, their expressions unchanged, shouted coldly: "Bold!"
Suddenly, thunderous sounds echoed in the front yard of Ye Mansion, and the power of shadowless sound waves, like steel needles, pierced into the ears of Ye Chen and the many slave guards in the front yard of Ye Mansion, making Ye Chen
The others' heads felt a stabbing pain and they felt dizzy. Some of the low-strength slave guards let out a shrill scream, fell to the ground, and passed out.
"court death!"
Ah Da and Ah Er, whose heads were hurting, and Ye Yi and others who came over after hearing the noise in the front yard, saw Ye Chen covering his head with a look of pain, and then saw the slave lying on the ground, unconscious.
The guard shouted angrily involuntarily, drew out his long sword, moved his body like lightning, and stabbed the two tough men behind the eunuch.
"act recklessly!"
Seeing A Da, A Er, Ye Yi and other ten ninth-level warriors waving their long swords towards him, the two sturdy men standing behind the eunuch sneered and drew out
With a casual swing of the long sword on his body, a sharp sword light about ten feet long shot out from it, covering Ada, Aerye and the others.
"Juggernaut!"
Ada, Aer, Yeyi and others, who were enveloped by the sharp sword light, felt the chilling aura and strong sword intention in the sword light, and the word "Sword Master" appeared in their minds involuntarily.
Ada, Aerye, and others are all people who have seen the world. Although they were surprised that the two people behind the eunuch were sword masters, they did not panic because of this. Instead, they became more cautious and moved with lightning speed to form a battle.
Formation, swung the long sword in his hand, and used the amplification effect of the sword formation to double the power of the sword rays of more than ten people, and faced the sword radiance attacks swung by the two sword masters.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Violent explosions sounded in the front yard of Ye Mansion, and bright lights rose in the front yard of Ye Mansion. Powerful airflows, with terrifying destructive power, swept the front yard of Ye Mansion.
All the flowers, plants and trees were destroyed.
"stop!"
Ye Chen, who woke up, immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his body and roared. Suddenly, the two sword masters and Ah Da Ah Er Ye Yi and others who were fighting fiercely retreated back without hesitation and turned their attention to
On Ye Chen's body.
Ada, Aerye, and others are Ye Chen's bodyguards. They dare not disobey Ye Chen's orders, and the two sword masters do not want to fight to the death with Ada, Erye, and others, putting themselves in danger.
In the midst of this, Ye Chen roared, and both sides of the war stopped in unison.
Seeing the truce between the two sides, Ye Chen's tense nerves couldn't help but relax. He didn't want to fight with King Wu now. Once Ah Da, Er Ye and others hurt the two sword masters, King Wu would definitely refuse.
If you give up, you will definitely send more and stronger guards to deal with you.
At the same time, he knew that there was a huge difference in strength between ninth-level warriors and saint-level warriors. He did not want to cause casualties to Ada, Aer, Ye, and others, so he had no choice but to compromise, accept the will of King Wu, give up the Ye family's property, and leave the imperial capital.
, went to take office in the chaotic Linhai County.
Seeing Ye Chen's compromise, the eunuch who had received the instructions from King Wu before leaving the palace saw that the purpose of intimidation was achieved, so he immediately stood up, handed the imperial edict to Ye Chen, and returned to the palace with the two sword masters.
