Zhao Langjiang and others returned a deportation order. The deportation order was issued by the Royal Family of the Great Chu. The general idea was that the Great Chu army was strong and the soldiers were ready to die. These 30,000 Chu soldiers surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, desecrated the heaven of immortality, and would fall into hell and reincarnate after death and would never be reborn. The Great Chu State no longer recognized the identity of the Chu State of the 30,000 captives.

This incident was introduced to the prisoner-of-war camp, and it was in an uproar.

A general took the opportunity to incite hundreds of people to launch a rebellion, but was shot into a hedgehog by Dong Dayou. More people slowly accepted the facts and lost their faith and began to become depressed.

The Western Army encountered greater pressure.

They had serious shortage of food and asked the court for food, but were rejected. Zhao Langjiang asked the capital for handling the matter of prisoners of war, and the Ministry of War replied to his own ruling.

"Thirty thousand prisoners, thirty thousand are open!"

Dong Dayou said worriedly, "Even if the minimum ration is guaranteed, two taels of meters a day can last for two months, but winter is approaching. If this continues, I am afraid that by the beginning of spring next year, there will be few who will survive."

"What does the general mean?"

Dong Dayou said, "Kill it. Keep it, it will also be a burden for me to conquer the Western Army!"

Zhao Langjiang hesitated.

"As long as you give me the order, I will poison their rations tonight. After the attack, a fire will burn the prisoner-of-war camp to ashes."

Zhao Langjiang shook his head, "I promised Lai Ridan."

"I understand the general's situation, but promises are one thing, reality is another. If the general is inconvenient to make a decision, I will take this charge for you."

Zhao Langjiang said, "Let me think about it for a few days."

Dong Dayou said, "I heard that the Chief Minister of the Sili, Gao Yuan, has set out and is about to arrive in Yinyang City. In this battle, you will make the first contribution, and the rewards from the court will definitely not be reduced. According to rumors, Your Majesty is going to be the Grand Commander of the Western Army."

Zhao Langjiang didn't care about the rewards, but he was concerned about the lives of 30,000 prisoners of war. He also understood that killing these 30,000 people was the wisest choice.

However, if he ordered the killing of 30,000 prisoners, what would be the difference between him and Yuwen Tianlu back then?

As the only one who survived Dingzhou City, he only had two wishes in his life: one was to kill the enemy and serve the country, and the other was to kill Yuwen Tianlu to take revenge.

Yuwen Tianlu was dead, not at his hands. On the contrary, before he died, he handed over all the power in his hands in the light and dark areas to Zhao Langjiang.

Do you really want to live the person you hate the most step by step?

Zhao Langjiang decided to return to Yinyang City.

When entering the city, the entire Yinyang City was dispatched to welcome the heroes of Yinyang City and the new city lord of this city back to the city.

Zhao Langjiang not only defeated Tuoba Wudi, but also saved Yin Yang from danger. He also used his own strength to trap the Western Chu army at Hulukou. This incident has long been compiled into a storybook and passed down in the public. He has become a new symbol of Yin Yang City, just as the inheritance of the Golden Sword King lineage was related to the inheritance of the Golden Sword King.

King of Golden Sword retired, and the story of Zhao Langjiang has just begun.

However, Zhao Langjiang was not happy and sat in the city lord's mansion and looked sad.

Li Qingcheng did not go to Hulukou, but he had heard about what happened during that time. He did not know less about Zhao Langjiang than Xiao Jinyan, so he naturally knew what he was thinking.

During the battle of Yinyang City, Li Qingcheng and Zhao Langjiang fought side by side, and deeply felt the cruelty of the war, which was something that he could not understand when he was a young master in Jinling City.

The dispute between the world is ultimately just a dispute between sentiment and grudges.

Only the war between countries can best temper people's will.

He was very glad that he didn't have to sit in the position of the city lord and faced such a dilemma. After this battle, Zhao Langjiang would definitely stay in Yinyang City, while Li Qingcheng missed Jiangnan a little.

Li Qingcheng handed over a pot of wine, and Zhao Langjiang took it over and drank it all.

"what do I do?"

Li Qingcheng said lightly, "The Zhao Langjiang I know has always been avenging his grudges. When did he be so indecisive in doing things?"

Zhao Langjiang said angrily, "I don't feel sad when I stand and talk. The lives of 30,000 people are just in my mind. I would rather ride a horse and get a knife and fight on the battlefield than fight here. Alas, it would be great if Lao Xiao was there."

Li Qingcheng said, "You have already made a decision in your heart, haven't you?"

Zhao Langjiang liked Li Qingcheng more and more, and he reached out and grabbed Li Qingcheng's shoulder, "Good brother, stay here to help me."

Li Qingcheng felt very awkward and pushed him away.

"As soon as this matter is over, I will go back to Jiangnan. Next year, the Li family in Jinling will worship their ancestors for ten years. According to the ancestral system, I will go back to inherit the wealth of my family."

"I'm afraid you're going back to find our little master?"

Li Qingcheng's face turned red, "Get out."

"Don't think I don't know. Except for the days when the siege of the city, every once in a while, you will use Tongyi to send letters to Jiangnan. I don't believe it, it was written to your father."

"How do you know?"

Zhao Langjiang laughed and said, "Because, I am the Lord of Yinyang City!"

Li Qingcheng changed the topic, "What have you thought about to deal with those prisoners of war?"

Zhao Langjiang said: "I think there is an answer already."

Seeing that he looked firm, Li Qingcheng guessed and asked, "Are you afraid of destroying your future?"

Zhao Langjiang said with a solemn look on his face, "The future is achieved by using his own life, not by other people's lives. I will bear my choice alone."

Li Qingcheng said, "Although it's a bit stupid, I like it."

Zhao Langjiang said, "I have no interest in sissy!"

Boom!

The roof of the city lord collapsed.

Li Qingcheng and Zhao Langjiang were no longer the Ameng in Wuxia. When the two of them fought, the earth shook, and Li Qingcheng's sword became a demolition brigade.

"This pavilion costs 30,000 taels!"

Li Qingcheng refused to give in, and Changjian chased him reluctantly, "I'm sorry!"

boom!

"This is a Tang Dynasty thing! One hundred thousand taels!"

"I'm paying for it!"

boom!

Another rockery was cut off by Li Qingcheng.

"This is a stone from the Qing Dynasty, an antique!"

Li Qingcheng scolded, "Do you think I haven't read a book? Get out!"

After the two of them entered Tongxiang's martial arts, their skills increased greatly. In an instant, the city lord's mansion was in chaos and someone came to explore, but Zhao Lianjiang stopped outside the door.

When they were together last year, Zhao Langjiang, Li Qingcheng, and Xiao Jinyan often practiced martial arts together. Now Xiao Jinyan has gone to Western Chu. He and Li Qingcheng have not had such a happy fight for a long time.

After a long time, the two were exhausted.

"You are no match for me!" Li Qingcheng said.

"If I use the sword technique of killing Li Xiancheng, how confident do you think I can block how many swords do you think?"

Li Qingcheng knew that if this was the case, he might not be able to stop it with a single knife, but it was limited to Yinyang City. However, he refused to admit defeat, "It's no problem to win."

Zhao Langjiang sat on the ground and said, "God of Wealth, this one has a total of 800,000 taels of silver. Are you cash in silver or silver notes?"

“So expensive?”

Zhao Langjiang said, "If you haven't taken advantage of Xi Chu, you have to make the future rich people spend money. If you really don't, just write an IOU. Don't say you're lying to pay!"

Li Qingcheng took the pen and ink.

Zhao Langjiang said, "You might as well write two pictures, one is 100,000, which belongs to me. The other is 700,000, which is considered to be from Yinyang City."

“Is there any difference?”

Zhao Langjiang said seriously, "Of course there is a difference."

Li Qingcheng wrote two IOUs, "If you have the ability, come to Jinling to get it yourself."

At this time, someone came to report to the gate, "Report to the city lord, the city gate is full of news, and the senior minister of the Sili has arrived outside the city gate."

Zhao Langjiang said, "So fast?"

Zhao Lianjiang put on his armor and came outside the city gate with Li Qingcheng, Li Xianzhong and others, and was immediately shocked by the momentum.

The eunuch who sent the orders meant that the emperor was present, usually equipped with 64 imperial guards and 500 soldiers and horses to escort them. This time, the senior minister of the Sili was traveling, and he was actually 128 imperial guards and 1,000 soldiers and horses to accompany him.

This is not a reward. Only by being a vassal king can one have such honors!

Zhao Langjiang was a rough man and did not understand the joints. Fortunately, the person who accompanied him, an official from the Ministry of Rites, came to the city gate in advance to perform ceremony with him, how to arrange accommodation, how to greet him, how to perform salutes, etc., and talked for nearly an hour in one go.

Zhao Langjiang was so upset that he interrupted directly, "Why are there so much nonsense? Just go out to greet him!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites looked shocked, "You must not be so rude that it has impacted the emperor's face!"

Zhao Langjiang glared, "You are so polite, and I still have 30,000 Chu troops there. Go and tell them the truth and see if they will eat you raw?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites was so scared that he quickly fell silent.

Zhao Langjiang led people to the front of the chariot and shouted, "Who is Eunuch Gao?"

A middle-aged eunuch covered in powdery face said in a sharp voice, "That's right for our family!"

Zhao Langjiang laughed and said, "Go and drink!"
