Realm of Power

The great victory in Yi County was like a spring breeze blowing all over Xinjing overnight. The streets, alleys, taverns and tiles were full of voices. It seemed that overnight, everyone straightened up and was not so scared. There were also pedestrians on the streets. , the closed shop opened its door again, a Some aristocratic families who were preparing to flee Xinjing also stopped their actions. There was no need to escape. The battle in Yixian County was enough to show that the Central Asian army is still very effective. As long as they are given enough rewards, they can even face Aden. Even the best people can fight

The troops who fought that night were transferred back to Xinjing overnight, and the emperor wanted to conduct a review.

The whole street was deserted the next day, so those who were qualified had naturally made preparations early. , who learned the news later, called friends and stood on a high ground along the street. The restaurants along the street were already crowded with people. The overwhelming feeling in front of people was swept away, and various opinions suddenly emerged under the impetus of the power of the court.

"Some say that in the battle of Yi County, the Central and Belgian troops defeated the surprise attack of tens of thousands of Aden troops with only 5,000 troops. Others say that in the battle of Yi County, the Central and Belgian troops actually had 10,000 troops, while the troops on the opposite side were The Aden army soared to an army of tens of thousands. Fifty thousand Aden troops besieged 10,000 Central Asian troops. It is said that their eyes were red from the killing. Everyone was like a hungry wolf. If the spear broke, he would chop it with a knife. If the knife broke, he would use his fists, feet, and teeth to bite him. , like an evil ghost, killing until the earth is stained with blood, and the sun The moon was dim. In the end, even the Aden people couldn't hold it anymore. They let our 10,000 Central Asian troops defeat the siege of 50,000 troops... We even defeated the grassland people and even the Falcons who swept across the Western Continent. The imperial army won all the battles, just a mere Ding, how about a beating? "On the second floor of a luxuriously decorated restaurant, a young Central Asian man was talking with great joy, causing everyone to make gasping sounds. I don't know how many people followed him. The narration caused a burst of laughter "In the past, when the Long family was in power, in order to cover up their incompetence, they deliberately exaggerated the fighting power of the Western Barbarians. Who would have thought that now they would be revealed in the first battle?"

Because the Aden people are also regarded by the Central and Asian people as coming from the Western Continent, they are collectively called the Western Barbarians. A Central and Asian scribe put down the wine glass in his hand and looked stunned when he heard the various discussions coming from outside. The corner of his mouth showed A wry smile" In order to stabilize people's hearts, the Chinese and Biya court actually However, such a big scapegoat has been placed on the Southwest Long family. If the Southwest Long family knew about it, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood. It was just a battle of a thousand people, but it was described as a battle of tens of thousands. If such a bullshit If it breaks, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as just thousands of people dying."

He was Li Long who came to Xinjing from Dijing West Road. Compared with the last time, which shocked the entire Central and Asian courts, Li Long's arrival this time was silent. Since the rectification of Dijing West Road, Li Yuehua His name shocked Xinjing. Now everyone knows that the one who controls the empire's 100,000-strong army and is eyeing the north bank of the river is a woman from the Li family. She was originally interested in All kinds of criticisms against the Li family were no longer mentioned overnight, and the court wisely gave up the continued suppression of the Li family. Not only did they return the previously confiscated property, but they also ordered the release of all the detained Li people. Moreover, as compensation, several children of the Li family were obviously added to the newly submitted list of officials, and no one in the court objected.

Even Prime Minister Yu Fenlong only glanced at it and stuffed it into the daily memorial handed to the emperor with ease. There is no doubt that this is the response of the entire Zhongbia court family to Li Yuehua's turmoil on Dijing West Road to calm down the entire turmoil. The reward is also pleasing Meaning, it was the emperor who wanted to rectify the Li family, so everyone followed suit. Now as long as Li Yuehua is in charge on Dijing West Road, the revival of the Li family is only a matter of time. But for the Li family, which has already been cold-blooded, this little benefit, where can I see it? The upper eyes,

Although the Li clan has declined, it is still one of the four great clans in name. It is the head of the civil servants for more than a hundred years. Its reputation and influence can be said to be huge in the Central and South-Bia region. No one needs to be full to hold on. To offend a future dignitary of the empire, you must know that due to several years of war, many wealthy families who were able to leave, and those who were unable to leave, began to strategize and plan for the future. Some are amassing money for private and public purposes, or they are banding together to save lives out of helplessness. Local forces of one kind or another, with the court turning a blind eye, are in China controlled by the court. Originally, these aristocratic families did not pay attention to the Li family, which had lost its glory, but a bloodbath on the Imperial Capital West Road once again pushed the daughter of the Li family, Li Yuehua, to the forefront of everyone. At this moment, he was not the one who wanted to Know what the Li family represents in terms of the empire!

Zhongbia's court is already in a desperate situation. A big tree with rotten roots may collapse suddenly at any time. If you cling to such a big tree, you may not have peace of mind for a day. Li Long is the king of the court. How could you, the great minister, fail to see this? The head of the Li family of a generation secretly returned to Xinjing this time to help the entire Li clan move north. Now it is obvious that the Li clan is doing better in the empire. Just one Imperial Capital West Road is enough to revive the Li clan. What's the point of staying in Xinjing, which is full of rags? We had already persuaded the people in the clan, but because the Aden people raided Xinjing, they were immediately blocked in Xinjing.

"Brother Li is so free-spirited. Now that he has returned to Xinjing, why don't you come to see me? Do you really no longer regard me, Yu Fenglong, as a friend?" The door was pushed open, and an old man in casual clothes walked in. The old man's eyebrows were raised. There was a gloominess in the room, which gave people a faint oppressive force. The eyes were even more bright and frightening. Although they were full of bloodshot eyes, they still gave people a sharp feeling. Several people like attendants stood there. behind him,

"Yu Xiang is joking. It's just that Li Long has a special status now. Visiting Brother Yu will only bring trouble to Brother Yu." Li Long cupped his hand. If he hadn't known each other, Li Long wouldn't be sure. The old man dressed so plainly, It was Yu Fenlong, the prime minister with great power in China and Bia.

Yu Fenglong sat down opposite Li Long with great grace, stretched out his hand to take out the fruit from the fruit plate on the table and ate it skillfully. He looked at the crowded street and sighed, "To be honest, I regret it now." , if I could do it all over again, I hope I could stay in the north of the big river and let When Brother Li came to be the Prime Minister of China, I realized that this was actually a hard job. Just like I spent so much effort to get the Aden Army to advance north, it severely damaged the power of the local families and opened the door for the Central Court to take back power. However, in the blink of an eye, the Aden army suddenly turned to Xinjing. Can you blame me? "

Hearing Yu Fenglong's words, Li Long put down the wine glass in his hand, and his eyes flashed with surprise. What kind of person is Yu Fenglong? He quietly sneaked into Xinjing and wanted to move the Li clan away, even if he could hide it from others. , there is absolutely no way to hide it from Yu Fenglong. The other party did not embarrass himself in this regard, and even in some cases In terms of joints, they also provided considerable convenience and released the goodwill of reconciling with the Li family. This was the reason why Li Long decided to let go of the previous grudge. He originally thought that even if he left Xinjing, the rain minister would not show up. , I didn’t expect that he would suddenly appear in his box when there was such a huge crowd of people.

"Yu Xiang came to see me in person this time. I'm afraid he's not just complaining a few words, right?" Li Long's mouth curled up slightly. This was not the first time he had dealt with Yu Fenglong, even on the matter of welcoming back the emperor. , the two have also collaborated with each other. Yu Fenglong’s biggest characteristic is his smoothness, although at the time He took away the Dragon Head Skill from Li Long at first, and also stepped on Li Long hard, but now they meet with the same enthusiasm as meeting old friends, and there is no trace of his original intention to completely kick Li Long out. It's so bad, even the voice he speaks has a very sincere feeling, which makes people hate even if they want to.

"Haha, Brother Li is still so sharp, so I won't hide it." A flash of embarrassment flashed across Yu Fenglong's face. He stood up and looked at the street from the second floor, and said, "This time the emperor will announce any fourth grade on the reviewing stand. The above-mentioned aristocratic families were not allowed to leave Xinjing, so to express his determination to live and die with Xinjing, the emperor ran away twice. This time, he will not run away no matter what." "Fourth grade or above! That's not to say that more than half of the aristocratic families in Xinjing are among them!" Li Long's face sank, and he immediately knew how serious the meaning of Yu Fenglong's words was. Although the Li clan was in decline, it was A real first-class family. If the Zhongbia Emperor really issues this order, then the Li family will not be able to leave Xinjing, let alone move north. Once the Aden Army besieges Xinjing, it will be difficult to say whether they will live or die. "Yes, fortunately not many people know the news now, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people here to watch the fun!" Yu Fenglong nodded, looked away from the street in the distance, and looked at Li Long. Now the whole city has been closed down. If you want to go out, you can only get the general order issued by the Military Ministry and the documents from my prime minister's office."

Yu Fenglong walked up to Li Long, took out the documents he had prepared from his sleeves and placed them on Li Long's desk. "When the reviewing troops have entered the city, the emperor will announce the news on the reviewing stand. If Brother Li wants to leave, , it is better to make a decision early. I, Yu Fenglong, only have one request, that is, there are more than a hundred people who can be taken away by Brother Li. We only need to send them to Dijing West Road, and with these people here, Brother Li can It will save you a lot of trouble along the way!”

"Those people are all elite children of the major families in Xinjing, right?" Hearing what Yu Fenglong said, Li Long's expression became even more complicated. No wonder it was Yu Fenglong himself who took action this time. It turned out that behind them were all the wealthy families in Xinjing. The face of aristocratic family

"The Li family is also an aristocratic family. There are some things that I shouldn't need to say."

Yu Fenglong's old palm patted Li Long's shoulder. "And as the head of the civil servants, the Li family has many disciples and former officials scattered around. In our country, it is even more important than Bia. If not for everyone's joint efforts, how could the Li family move north?" It may be hidden from the emperor's eyes and ears. Although the emperor no longer suppresses the Li people, he will never allow the Li people who can affect the local area to move north. I don't think I, Yu Fenlong, need to explain this clearly. "Yu Feng Long turned around and left, leaving the final decision to Li Long

Li Long picked up the document and stuffed it into his sleeve. If what Yu Fenglong said is true, every minute of delay now is a joke that affects the life and death of the entire Li clan. He, Li Long, is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt. , isn’t it just taking away people from major aristocratic families? For the Li clan, it is not a matter of conflict of interest. They can also sell major aristocratic families a favor for nothing.

"Here we come, people are here!" "Don't crowd." "It's so awesome, so scary."

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and everyone ran to the corridor outside. Li Long also took a look outside. In the distance, a group of infantry with shining armor came towards here, with thin breastplates and helmets. It has been polished, but the traces left on it by the enemy's arrows and weapons are still clear. The uniforms on each person's body had been mended, and the neat rhythm of stepping forward made the originally lively scene gradually quiet down. The only sound between heaven and earth was the sound of footsteps with only one sound in each step. In his eyes, this is a war army full of murderous intent, and it belongs to China and the Biya side. Such a strong army is a rare sight in a hundred years. , I didn’t expect that Zhongbia also has such terrible soldiers, such powerful soldiers. It’s no wonder that in the Deyang War, even the imperial army was driven away. The low voice was like vomiting from the suppressed chest. To the people of Xinjing who have never seen a war, the Central and African army that appears in front of them is simply the incarnation of invincibility.

At this moment, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is attracting the attention of everyone. The reviewing army entered the city. The leading general gave a low and short shout. Like a forest of spears and sun-shielding flags, they were lowered in order at the same time. Li Long blinked. There was still some excitement in the mind, but it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on him. Li Long, who was the head of the military ministry, suddenly He immediately recognized the so-called victorious army in front of him, which was the emperor's imperial guard. However, how could the emperor, a face-saving figure like this, really let the army that fought that night enter the city? Otherwise, if the truth of the battle that night was leaked, knowing the so-called A great victory was just a victory for hundreds of people, and I am afraid that the entire New Capital will explode! "Gather everyone together and rush to the east gate within ten minutes. Throw away all your belongings and goods and leave the city immediately!"

Li Long took the documents from the Prime Minister's Palace and strode to the door of the box. He said to the servants waiting at the door. The people on the street outside were even more lively and lively. Those sent out must be the best in the family. The young people are also responsible for the hope of revitalizing the entire family if it is destroyed. Once the family is destroyed, they are the seeds of the family and continue to allow the family to continue on the Imperial Capital West Road ruled by the empire.

This is enough to show that all the wealthy families in Xinjing are not optimistic about this battle in Xinjing! It’s no wonder that even people like Yu Fenglong have to put down their posture to beg for themselves, and they can’t hide their frustration in their words.

Li Long stopped and took one last look at the noisy streets. Everyone was cheering for the army and cheering that the defeat of the Aden people was just around the corner. I'm afraid 99% of the people in Xinjing didn't know yet. At this moment, in a box, the entire court's senior officials are trying every possible means to arrange a way out, but God only knows what fate these ordinary people will have!

Xinjing, there is no hope!

In the past three days, due to temporary work arrangements, we even need to work all night. There may be interruptions in updates. Please understand.
