Yan Qing's arrival significantly cheered up the morale of the troops in Izumo Prefecture. This is not to say how much military information and situation intelligence he brought, or how much supplies he brought. The supplies were definitely not available, and the intelligence he did have was lagging behind.

Mainly because of the appearance of the contact person and the direct response from the gang command organization, they got rid of their previous sense of isolation and uneasiness.【??????.??????5?2?0?.???

???】

And I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but starting from the day Yan Qing arrived, the control of the military here in Izumo Prefecture has been significantly relaxed.

After Bai Yousi sent a request to Li Qiufan, the prefect of Izumo, and got the promise, and exchanged thirteen sets of armor for 800 guan in cash, the army began to take full rotational vacations with a scale of 500 people, and each person was given 50 guan half-day leave.

Go to the city and outside the city for entertainment.

As for the leaders, their scope of activities is even larger.

It is precisely because of this that next, the top and bottom of the army division were able to see many situations that they had not bothered to see before or had not seen at all, and they also gained some real understanding of Dongyi.

But that's all. It was just four or five days ago. Around the time when the Dongdu Forbidden Army crossed the river and occupied Xuzhou, this partial army finally ushered in a true master who could determine their fate in a sense, and it was also Dongyi's side.

A true nobleman:

The subsequent dialogue between Li Qiufan, the governor of Izumo, is written as uncle, marshal of the navy of Dongsheng Kingdom, Grand Master, Shizhong, General Anxi, Commander-in-Chief of Dongsheng Kingdom in the west, military officers of the seventeen southern states, Huayang County Duke, Dongyi

A nine-hundred-year-old noble family, the leader of the first-grade clan Li clan...

Of course, it can also be simpler, Li Ziqi, the only great master of Dongyi.

The meeting place was in Izumo Prefecture Castle, but we did not go to the governor's mansion, but in the back garden of a local family. There is a five-story building at the highest point in Izumo Castle. From the top floor, you can overlook the entire city, and then see the sea to the north.

, facing the mountains to the west, it is indeed a good place to go.

It's called Guichun Tower.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of April, Li Ziqi had just arrived here for an hour, and he held a banquet on the top floor of Guichun Tower to entertain the military personnel. Bai Yousi gathered up his sleeves, dressed in cloth, put on a long sword and a small warrior crown, and took Wang Zhen as promised.

Qian Tang, Yan Qing, and Ma Ping'er came to see... Yan Qing had just arrived, Wang Zhen, and Ma Ping'er were the accompanying leaders. It is worth mentioning that Qian Tang left Pingyuan County and transferred to

The purpose of the newly established Wudi County was essentially to establish a large river seagoing fleet. This time, Bai Yousi was dispatched to take charge of logistics. After arriving in Izumo, he was separated from the leading troops and was only responsible for guarding the ships in Izumo Port.

Team, it’s become easier to get around these days.

As for the other leaders, namely Tang Bairen, Wang Fubei and others, they stayed in the camp and were on duty.

The gray-bearded Li Ziqi, besides Wang Yuande and Li Qiufan, was accompanied by many local officials and aristocratic families...but there was no entourage from the governor, and I don't know how he came here.

In this way, after both parties bowed and took their seats, Bai Yousi came first and smiled: "I don't think it's the Governor who comes to see us in person."

Although the others did not say anything, they all had the same thoughts as Bai You, and then went to see the Grand Governor on the throne... After all, this person's arrival was unexpected, and everyone was still a little curious.

Li Ziqi, who was wearing a high crown and a cloth suit with wide sleeves, also twirled his beard and laughed when he heard the words: "If I don't come, in the fifty states of Dongsheng Kingdom, only the Qing Emperor descending to earth can control the White Snake.

Already."

Sure enough!

Everyone present in Dongyi was shocked, but they finally verified a certain idea.

Li Ziqi paused for a moment and then continued: "Of course, when I met General Sima at Luolongtan four years ago, I knew that the man was really unstoppable, so I kept thinking about how the White Snake, who is equally famous with him, was.

Style? We should meet today. And when we meet, it is just as I expected... I can only say that whether it is General Sima or Lady White, it is really frightening to become a grandmaster at this age... What about Chief Zhang? I

Although I haven’t seen him, but he helped such a powerful force, he must have cultivated a lot, right? Could it be that he is also a master?”

"That's not the case." Bai Yousi was honest. "My Sanlang is considered the Black Emperor's choice. A kind of lock was opened around the time of the Second Expedition. He has accumulated a lot of energy, but his cultivation progress is extremely slow."

Li Ziqi was stunned for a moment, rarely nodded, but then shook his head: "In this case, no wonder you have to use the Fulong Seal, but it fits perfectly. No wonder your father retreated."

"I don't know about this," Bai Yousi said. "Although I have been informed by some members of the gang about this kind of news, it was a little earlier. The governor may not know it clearly."

Li Ziqi nodded and asked again: "It is said that Xiong Bonan is the first in the gang to be promoted to Grand Master, but I don't know how old he is?"

"The Commander-in-Chief is only interested in inquiring about our combat strength. Could it be that, as the rumors say, we are enemies rather than friends, and he is here to use force against us this time?" At this moment, before Bai Yousi could speak, Wang Zhen suddenly interrupted.

"Wang... the big leader is overthinking, he's just curious." Unlike the panic of the local disciples of Dongsheng, Li Ziqi didn't care at all.

"You're asking the Heavenly King and our chief, it's a matter of curiosity, but what about now? What does it mean that you personally came to take care of our grand master? It's just curiosity. Didn't you also personally admit that you came to 'control' our chief?" Wang Zhen almost said

sneer.

The atmosphere on the court, which had been relatively warm just now, suddenly became awkward, but because Li Ziqi and Bai Yousi were relaxed as host and guest, it could not be called tense.

But back to the present, Li Ziqi thought about it and wanted to refute it, but the word "control" was said by himself. In addition, Bai Yousi didn't answer and just let Wang Zhen go, but he had no choice.

Then he turned to look at his nephew: "Wu Lang, could it be that you didn't obey the military orders and didn't receive everyone well, so there was some misunderstanding?"

"There is absolutely no such thing." Li Qiufan, the prefect of Izumo, hurriedly avoided the banquet to complain. "My nephew has always followed his uncle's military orders, and White Snake's subordinates have always acted properly. Within a month, there have been no complaints. That's not all. Before.

I knew my uncle was coming a few days ago, and even relaxed the restrictions to make it easier for White Lady's subordinates to come in and out, but I don't know why the leader Wang said this."

"It is precisely because of the loosening of restrictions that I saw with my own eyes the indignity of you Dongyi people and knew that our more than ten thousand lone troops were forced into a corner, so I dared to ask!" Wang Zhen said plausibly. "Otherwise you are a big deal.

Grandmaster came to see you on his own initiative, am I crazy to make it difficult for you in public?!"

Li Ziqi was stunned for a moment, and then he became really puzzled: "What's wrong? Please tell me in detail."

Not only that, the Dongyi nobles present, including Wang Yuande who was originally watching the joke, also looked at Wang Zhen at this time.

"No need to elaborate, just one sentence." Wang Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed to the city and port outside the window. "After the restrictions were released, I realized that nine out of ten people in the street were actually slaves! Do you dare to ask Governor Li?

If we don’t do what you want us to do later, will we also be sold into slavery?!”

Li Ziqi was stunned for a moment, but still didn't react.

Not only him, but all the Dongyi people present were in a daze... The most important thing was that this "slave" made them a little confused, because they did not regard this concept that was usually immersed in daily life as something difficult to accept, and followed it.

Connect with the people in front of you.

What if there are more slaves?

However, before and after Wang Zhen's attack, the people below Bai Yousi were all silent, but it also showed their attitude of helping these people - they actually thought this was a big deal, and even started to hold grudges and worries.

So, slowly, everyone in Dongyi came to their senses, but Li Qiufan was still avoiding the table, so he had no choice but to smile and said: "Why did Chief Wang say this? You came here because you were hit by a storm, so we are polite

Treat each other..."

"If this is the case, please allow the Governor to allow us to return now... Our gang must remember the kindness of taking us in this time. When I came, the chief said that the money and food goods spent this time will be thickened and thickened from Dengzhou.

You send it back." Before the other party finished speaking, Yan Qing also stood up and held his hands in front of him.

This is to tell the other party that the gang has contacted here, and this is not a lone army that can be bullied by them.

Therefore, Wang Yuande, who had been distracted these days, was obviously stunned, and Li Qiufan was also panicked. However, although Li Ziqi realized what had happened, he just chuckled and maintained his dignity: "In this way, everyone

You don’t want to have a banquet, but want to get down to business?”

"I hope the Governor will be considerate." Bai Yousi finally spoke again, and gave a serious salute with his long sword. "We have been trapped for more than a month, and we are eager to return. However, we have been repeatedly blocked by the Dongshengguo. The morale of the army is fluctuating.

Everyone is suspicious."

"Okay, everyone, please step aside. Only Mrs. Bai and I will explain clearly." Li Ziqi waved his hand. "After a quarter of an hour, let's all come back and have a drink."

Led by Li Qiufan, everyone on the Dongyi side stood up and wanted to leave. Only Wang Yuande remained unmoved. Not only that, but Wang Zhen and four other people on the other side also didn't move. When Li Qiufan, the local prefect, saw this, he bitten

Gritting his teeth, he actually returned to his seat.

Li Ziqi became more helpless when he saw this: "General Wang, White Snake...what do you mean?"

Wang Yuande was still proud: "I am a general of the Dongsheng royal family. I don't know if there is anything in Dongsheng that needs to be avoided."

"To be honest, Governor." Bai Yousi, who was opposite Wang Yuande, also smiled. "Our gang system is about everyone making the decision together. Among these ten thousand troops and a fleet of thousands of sailors, there is General Ren Zheng.

The big leaders, the four leaders who lead the troops are generals, one is the prefect, and the other is in charge of the Xingtai. They are not my own private army. How can I be responsible for their life and death?

Is the Grand Governor conducting a discussion? Besides, I really can’t imagine that even our entire army has been detained, so what else needs to be said to avoid being heard?”

Li Ziqi pondered for a moment, then waved his hand towards Li Qiufan, signaling for these people to leave. There were only seven people left on the top floor, but he still did not give up: "White Lady, some of your words are not to avoid others, but to say that they are aimed at others."

Your personal information..."

"If that's the case." Bai You thought for a while and asked sincerely. "Can you let them leave now and set off the fleet to go back? I can stay here with peace of mind, speak to the governor, and listen to some private information."

Li Ziqi was silent for a long time this time, and finally sighed: "That's it...then I only have one thing to say now, White Snake!"

"Yes." Bai Yousi was still open-minded.

"My country's leader and I have been entrusted by others to ask you to go south. Therefore, why don't you go to the sea from Jeju, southeast of Dongsheng Kingdom, and leave our country." Li Ziqi made an incredible request.

"That's all? Why?" Bai Yousi seemed puzzled.

Wang Zhen, Qian Tang and others also looked at each other in confusion.

"Of course it's not just that, but our Dongsheng Kingdom doesn't have the final say on this matter, and you don't want to talk about it privately, and I can't force it into your ears. I can only say that you have led the army from Izumo into our territory.

, our Dongsheng Kingdom just wants to expel you from Jeju for some reasons..." Li Ziqi looked serious.

"Absurd!" It was Wang Yuande who spoke.

"What if we don't obey?" Wang Zhen asked coldly.

"Then just stay in Dongsheng Kingdom." Li Ziqi's tone was cold. "Didn't you say so yourself? Dongyi only has fifty states. With fifty states, we can still afford ten thousand soldiers. We

Don’t be afraid of wasting money and food.”

"What if we would rather die than obey?" Qian Tang also turned dark.

"That's okay. I can wait here and let my nephew burn your fleet first, or let your fleet leave directly. Anyway, our navy can escort you away by then; then I will personally go with you.
To be continued...
