Rebirth of the Phoenix

Hard to move even an inch

Ye Jiu also called his cronies and told them that he and Liang Hongye would secretly go to Dashun to handle an "important matter" and let them take charge of the military camp.

He spoke so suddenly that a group of close associates looked at each other: The general was preparing to attack the east. Why did he suddenly stop at this juncture and secretly sneak into Dashun with Mr. Liang? What's more, the general still refused to explain what he was going to do.

The important matter was really...unprepared for me.

Mr. Wen tentatively said: "General, you have just been awarded the title of lieutenant general, and you have announced that you will conquer the east. It is not good to leave the camp at this time, isn't it?"

The general is aware of the rumors outside. At this time, if he secretly goes to an enemy country just after being promoted, he knows what others will think.

Such behavior is too risky.

Ye Jiu said: "I know what you are thinking, and I also know what others will think. Therefore, I ask you to keep it a secret. Just tell your brothers in the army that I have something urgent and I have to go back to Beijing to meet with the Holy Master. I will sneak into Dashun."

, God knows and the earth knows, I know you know, no one else needs to know. I will find a way to come back as soon as possible."

All the soldiers: "..."

Even if he can successfully accomplish "important things" when he leaves, there is still a question whether he can come back smoothly.

Mr. Wen said: "Even if we can hide the truth, we can't hide it for long. Once everyone knows the general's actions, the general has a hundred mouths and I'm afraid he won't be able to explain it."

Ye Jiu said: "By the time everyone knows that I have mysteriously disappeared, I should have come back, so you don't have to worry about this problem."

Mr. Wen said: "Everyone in the Dashun garrison does not recognize the general. The general's trip must be very dangerous. Isn't it too little to bring only two followers?"

In addition to Mr. Liang, the general decided to take Mute and One-Eye with him. Although Mute and One-Eye are both good at fighting, both of them are disabled. Such a team... really makes people worry about the general's safety.

Ye Jiu said: "To tell you the truth, I went there this time to deal with a private matter. It is not appropriate to bring too many people. Moreover, the people around me are all celebrities here, and they are easily recognized. There are very few mutes and one-eyed people.

Showing up and having good skills are the best candidates.”

The Silhouette Army is so popular that he and his cronies must be well known by the Shadow Army. It would be difficult to bring more cronies with them.

Moreover, his visit has already aroused suspicion. If he brings his cronies there again, it will be more likely to trigger various speculations. It can even be said that whoever goes with him may be labeled as "the same Da Shun traitor". He does not need to

These cronies of his were implicated.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, with many questions in their minds, but they didn't feel comfortable asking, so they didn't say anything.

Finally, Kanli shouted: "Boss, we are all men. I won't stop you, but you must go back quickly and don't let anyone find out. Otherwise, it would be too unfair for others to say that you collaborate with the enemy and treason."

"

All the soldiers looked at him. This man... was really a bastard. Did such words pass through his brain?

Ye Jiu said calmly: "It's up to others to believe it or not. I just do what I want to do. If I don't come back within three months at most, you will treat me as dead and choose a new commander. If the court accuses me of treason,

Sin, you should draw a clear line with me and don't die in vain. If everything is still stable, you should train your troops and horses, and when I come back, you can defeat Ying Wuhen in one go."

When he mentioned this, it was enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

All the soldiers were silent, only Kanli was still shouting: "If the general is wronged, I will follow him to death, so I don't want a new commander..."

Ye Jiu smiled faintly: "If there is such a day, just go to Gucheng to find me, but I will come back. When I come back, the east side will be destroyed. Before that, don't cause trouble, just keep the silhouette

Military sharpening."

All the soldiers said one after another: "Don't worry, General, we will train the whole army well."

Ye Jiu nodded, explained some more things, and asked them to leave.

A few days later, a group of five people appeared in front of the city gate at the foot of Dongshan Mountain, queuing up to wait to leave the city - after exiting the east city gate, it was the border of Dashun Kingdom.

There were five people, two women and three men. The young woman looked like she was in her twenties, with slightly dark skin. She was holding a thin girl in her teens. The young man walking in front was quite handsome, with long hair covering his face.

, there were two obvious, fresh scars on his face, and his eyes and expression showed a bit of the ferocity common to the locals. There were two other men pushing a carriage loaded with goods, one of whom was one-eyed.

They are Yejiu, Hongzhuang and Hongren, mute and one-eyed.

In order to hide it from the enemy, Hongzhuang stayed in the scorching sun for three full days and ate spicy and fried food. She finally succeeded in tanning her skin and causing many pimples to appear on her face. With her careful disguise, she finally succeeded.

Make yourself unrecognizable even to the people in the military camp.

The most difficult thing to do is Ye Jiu.

He was born with such outstanding features, and it was almost impossible to hide his original appearance.

For this reason, he was cruel and made two real scars on his face. He spent another two days in disguise, and finally managed to hide his overly beautiful face.

The east city gate, which is the entry point of Dashun Kingdom, is actually a tunnel built at the foot of the mountain. It is more than ten feet long and about two feet high. It is only wide enough to accommodate two ordinary carriages running side by side. At both ends of the tunnel,

They are all equipped with strong iron gates and guards. There are also multiple iron fences in the tunnel that can be retracted and opened freely. Once someone breaks through by force, these iron gates are enough to snipe the intruder in the tunnel.

Close it, no one can open it.

Wei-Shaanxi Pass is located at the junction of the three countries. Trade between the three countries is very frequent. Many merchants come and go with goods every day, and the taxes and profits paid are very generous. Therefore, the three countries do not prevent merchants from entering and exiting, but the inspections are very strict and they are never allowed to carry large amounts of goods.

Weapons and prohibited drugs.

Because the guards have to inspect the goods one by one, the merchants waiting to leave the customs have to wait.

When there were finally five people in the group, the guard looked Ye Jiu up and down and asked, "What are you doing out of the city? What's in the car?"

Ye Jiu said in a rough voice: "Go to Liyang to sell and handle goods. The car is loaded with specialties from Beituo and Xiliang."

The guards searched the bodies of the three men, and only looked at Hongzhuang and Hongren carefully for a long time. Then they checked the goods on the car, and after confirming that there were no strictly prohibited items, they asked them to pay customs fees and let them go.

The customs clearance fee is not cheap. It ranges from one to three taels of silver for the elderly and children, and it ranges from five taels to ten taels for adults. The goods depend on the quantity and value of the goods. They and their group had to pay fifty taels of silver before they could pass the customs.

After leaving customs, Ye Jiu sold the goods on the carriage at a low price, then bought some horses, and the group rode towards Gucheng.

It was more than a thousand miles between Shaanxi Pass and Gucheng. They rode lightly and quickly and arrived at Gucheng in five days.

When they arrived at Gucheng, Ye Yingxian had just arrived and stationed his army in a military camp thirty miles east of the city.

Ye Yingxian was arranged to live in the old general's mansion in the east of the city.

In order to welcome King Xiaoyao, the general's mansion has been renovated and additional guards have been assigned.

After Ye Yingxian arrived in Gucheng, he did not check into the general's mansion immediately. Instead, he first arranged the military affairs in the barracks and then took Dongxian, Xixian and several soldiers assigned to him by the army into the city.

There is only one road between Gucheng and Weishan Pass. Travelers and businessmen who want to enter the hinterland of Dashun must pass through Gucheng. Therefore, Gucheng is quite lively, with a permanent population of about four to five million. Walking on the street, there are people everywhere.

Businessmen from all over the country are selling their business.

Ye Yingxian came to Gucheng for the first time, but he had no intention of visiting and went directly to the General's Mansion.

To his surprise, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, there were already two "old acquaintances" waiting for him.

Phantom and Gloom!

The most powerful killer and confidant around Ying Rushuang!

Many years ago, he had been enemies with them, their master, and the other two companions, but they couldn't make it public.

They actually showed up here! They definitely weren't here to protect him!

He secretly gritted his teeth, sneered several times in his heart, dismounted quietly, walked up to them, and said calmly: "Why are you here?"

Phantom and Youmang cupped their hands and said respectfully: "We are ordered by the Queen Mother to come to Gucheng to protect the prince."

Ye Yingxian said: "Weren't you in the capital before? Why don't you come with me?"

Phantom said: "Your Majesty, we were indeed in the capital earlier, but the Queen Mother asked us to come here first to make preparations to ensure that Your Majesty can stay safely and at ease when he arrives."

They had all stayed at Weishan Pass before and had just arrived in Gucheng in the past few days. Of course, there was no need to let the prince know about this kind of thing.

Ye Yingxian said: "What have you prepared?"

Phantom said: "We have renovated this mansion, hired a group of loyal and reliable servants, prepared all daily expenses, and invited the prince to come into the mansion to see what else needs to be adjusted and supplemented."

Ye Yingxian said coldly: "Your abilities are well known to everyone, and I am not dissatisfied with you in everything you do."

Then he strode inside.

The Queen Mother actually spent so much effort. It was not enough to send 50,000 royal troops to "protect" him. She also sent these two people to "protect" him. He was even more convinced that the Queen Mother sent him to garrison here for an extremely important reason.

Hidden story.

What's the secret? What does the Queen Mother want to do?

He thought a lot along the way, but couldn't figure it out.

Before leaving the capital, he had planned to find the name of the person or place that his father had secretly written on his hand. However, since he entered the capital, he had been followed by someone. He believed that the person was someone sent by the Queen Mother, so he

No rash actions were taken.

The mansion is well decorated, only a little worse than the palace in the capital. It is a good prison.

As soon as he arrived at his room, he fell on the bed and fell asleep without saying anything.

After sleeping until night, he took Dongxian and Xixian to the most famous brothel in the city to drink and listen to music.

In fact, he can hardly move here and has nothing to do.

The army belongs to Ye Wanjun, so it is impossible to obey him. If he is not in the army, the generals in the army can manage the army very well.

Moreover, he was being stared at by so many people. Besides eating, drinking and having fun, what else could he do?
