After returning to his house, Ye Xiong stayed at home, waiting for Dongfang Ming's response.
Dongfang Ming said that as long as he collapses the Japanese army and disrupts their attack, he will apply to the superiors to give him the position of city lord.
Now that he has fulfilled his promise, it depends on when Dongfang will fulfill his promise.
On the evening of the next day, Master Hu came and told him that the city lord was holding a celebration banquet at his house to reward the soldiers.
"You go back and recover first, I'll be there soon," Ye Xiong said.
After Khufu left, Ye Huan asked: "Sir, do you think Dongfang Ming will be willing to hand over the position of city lord?"
"In this world, the most fascinating thing is power. With power, you can have money, and with power, you can have beautiful women. Dongfang Ming will not give up the position of city lord easily." Ye Xiong snorted coldly.
"Then if he lets you go there this time, is there any conspiracy?" Ye Huanwan was a little worried.
"Whether it's a conspiracy or a conspiracy, I have immortality, and any conspiracy is just a paper tiger to me."
After resting for a while, the two of them headed to the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, in the city lord's mansion, people were drinking and cheering.
"Fellow officers, let me introduce you. This is Lord Wei Zheng, the envoy from the county. Lord Wei Zheng wants to say a few words to us. Everyone is welcome."
Amidst the warm applause, a short man with a beard walked in and arched his hands in all directions.
"Soldiers and scribes, thank you for your hard work. After the princess learned of the great victory in Fisher Girl Town, she was very happy. She immediately wrote a letter and ordered me to drive all night. I killed three horses in a row, and it was not easy to get here."
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he took out a brocade book from his arms, spread it out, and started reciting it.
"I am very happy when I first heard about the victory. Lord of Fisher Girl Town, all the soldiers have worked hard. Since the beginning of March, pirates have repeatedly invaded our borders and are extremely rampant. They have been persecuted repeatedly on the seashore..."
Next, there is a paragraph of brilliant writing. Wei Zheng shook his head as he read it, as if he was possessed.
Ye Xiong happened to see this scene when he came in and almost vomited.
Ever since the ancestors of the Great Xia Kingdom conquered the country, the subsequent kings have all been useless. They advocated poetry and poetry, which created many officials who were arty and did not like to do serious business, so they just liked to write romantic poetry and poetry.
The status of civil servants and counselors is extremely high, while military attachés have been weakened. If it were not for the repeated invasion of Daxia territory by foreign lands in recent years, there would be even fewer warriors.
From the way Wei Zheng was shaking his head, Ye Xiong guessed that the princess of Guangping County was probably a loser who didn't know how to fight.
Seeing Ye Xiong come in, Dongfang Ming pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for him to sit down, not daring to interrupt Wei Zheng's performance.
Ye Xiong sat down with Huanwan and waited slowly.
Finally, Wei Zheng finished his performance, and there was warm applause from the audience.
"Your Majesty the Princess is very talented in literature."
"Your Majesty the Princess is worthy of being the top scholar in liberal arts back then."
Dongfang Ming flattered him hard.
"Dongfang Ming, this time Japan invaded across the sea and many towns fell. You withstood the pressure and repelled their attack, which is of great significance. Your Majesty the Princess has decided to use your town as a model and publicize it everywhere.
Let other towns learn from you."
"Your Majesty, thank you very much. This is what we should do."
"This time Yunv Town repels their attack, the Japanese people will definitely not give up, and the neighboring towns will definitely bring troops to save their lives. Dongfang Ming, the princess has decided to mobilize 10,000 soldiers to assist you and the Japanese people.
Fight to the death. Do people have confidence?"
"have."
"have."
"have."
There was warm applause from the audience, and everyone felt like they had been given a shot of blood.
Ye Xiong sat quietly and looked sideways at Dongfang Ming to see what his plans were.
From the moment he entered here, Dongfang Ming never mentioned a word about himself, and all the credit went to himself.
In his current situation, it would be a shame to give up his position.
"Very good. I believe that you and the backup troops will definitely repel the Japanese and give Guangping County a piece of pure land."
Next, it’s time to celebrate, eat what you need to eat, drink what you need to drink, and have a great time.
Dongfang Ming walked up to Ye Xiong, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Ye Xiong, thank you for your efforts. You have also listened. The princess has sent 10,000 soldiers here. The next step will be your chance to perform. If you are accepting
You will shine brilliantly in the next war. I don’t need to mention it when the time comes. The princess will definitely reward you heavily. Not to mention a mere city lord of Fisher Girl City, even a big town like Wangjiao Town, it is not enough for you to be the city lord.
impossible things."
"Dongfang Ming, do you treat me like a three-year-old child?" Ye Xiong snorted coldly.
Dongfang Ming's smile suddenly froze, and people around him also looked over, and the atmosphere slowly calmed down.
They had all witnessed Ye Xiong's attempt to force him into the palace last time, and they were afraid that Ye Xiong would continue to do so this time, but they didn't expect that he would actually come.
"Without me, can you repel the Japanese?"
"Without me, how could you have such a feast here?"
"After we promised that I would repel the Japanese invasion, you would apply to the higher authorities to let me be the city lord. Now that I have done it, you start farting again. Do you really think that I am a three-year-old child and let you fool me again and again?
?”
Ye Xiong's voice became more and more fierce, making Dongfang Ming's face burn.
"When did I agree to give up the position of city lord?" Dongfang Ming blushed and said angrily: "Being the lord of a city requires not only the courage of an ordinary man, but also the ability to plan and manage. Besides, the palace of Daxia Kingdom
He was appointed by the higher-ups, so I will give in if I say so. Are there any legal rules?"
Ye Xiong sneered, did he mean that he only had the courage of an ordinary man?
"Who are you, who dares to force the Lord of the Palace to make you want to live?" Wei Zheng shouted sharply.
"You can ask them who I am." Ye Xiong was too lazy to talk nonsense. He stood up and said, "Huanhan, let's go and travel."
Ye Huan followed him obediently. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said angrily to Dongfang Ming: "Without our master, Fisher Girl Town would have fallen long ago. You are still drinking here. You are ungrateful."
Her face turned red when she said these words. Although she pretended to be bold, her timidity was still very obvious.
Seeing her pretending to be powerful, Ye Xiong couldn't help but secretly laugh.
This little girl has begun to learn to protect her master, which is good.
"He rebelled, someone came and captured him." Wei Zheng yelled.
It's a pity that everyone around looked at each other, and no one dared to stand up.
What kind of strength is Ye Xiong? Don’t they have any points to press?
Not to mention the mere dozens of people here, even the entire Fisher Girl Town couldn't stop him if they wanted to.
If you go up to block him now, you are courting death.
In full view of everyone, Ye Xiong swaggered and left.
