He stepped forward and grabbed Eunuch Gao and pulled him onto his horse's back. The rest of the people were shocked. The capital issued an order and had never seen such a reckless person. Zhao Langjiang said to the others, "Why are you still standing there? Greeting guests!"

After saying that, he ran wildly.

Eunuch Gao was so scared that his face was pale and he went straight into the city lord's mansion. Zhao Langjiang helped Eunuch Gao off the horse. Eunuch Gao rode his horse for the first time. Blisters were grinding out of the inner side of his thighs, making him feel a little unnatural.

Zhao Langjiang asked with a smile: "Why, it hurts a little?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Gao looked unhappy and raised his airs and said, "How could it be, General Zhao, are you laughing at our family?"

Zhao Langjiang scratched his head, "I forgot, you didn't."

He turned around and shouted, "Is the banquet ready? Is the room ready?"

Zhao Langjiang took Eunuch Gao to a room and said, "This place is a bit simple. My father-in-law has a short rest. Let's have a drink!"

After saying that, he left Eunuch Gao alone in the house and left.

Eunuch Gao was very angry. He went out of the palace to pass the imperial edict. It was not Gao Jieyuan who came there, but this kid didn't understand etiquette and made up his mind to give him a small shoe in front of the emperor after returning to the capital.

Suddenly, Zhao Langjiang pushed the door and said, "I forgot, my father-in-law, be careful. He had just fought with his friend and the house was a bit unstable."

As soon as he finished speaking, he made a thud. The entire roof collapsed and landed on the ground slanted. Eunuch Gao was so scared.

Zhao Langjiang said: "Why don't you change the place?"

Eunuch Gao said righteously, "No need, it's cool at night. Just have two more quilts!"

There was no dinner at all. Zhao Langjiang asked someone to send a pot of cooked potatoes without even putting salt. The taste was so hard to swallow. Zhao Langjiang also said that just after the war, the city was short of supplies, so he took out all his food and respected Eunuch Gao.

This time the reward was filled with great grace.

Gao Yuan took on this job and traveled thousands of miles to Yinyang. He thought he would take the opportunity to get some oil and water, but for this, he specially reminded the officials of the Ministry of Rites to hint that Zhao Langjiang would be extraordinary this time and asked Zhao Langjiang to prepare favors. Unexpectedly, not only did he not have hot soup and rice, but he didn't even have decent food, so he was so angry.

No words all night.

The next day, the imperial guards led by Gao Yuan entered the city, and he seemed to be an imperial envoy, put on an airs and summoned everyone in the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion.

Gao Yuan said, "Zhao Guerrilla, this time our family left the capital and brought two imperial edicts. I wonder which one do you want to hear?"

He did not call Zhao Langjiang the Lord of Zhao City or General Zhao, but became Zhao guerrillas, obviously implying that Zhao Langjiang was just a guerrilla general in the Western Army.

Zhao Langjiang said, "It depends on the father-in-law's mood."

"What do Zhao Guerrilla want to deal with the 30,000 prisoners of war in Chu army?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone held their breath and looked at Zhao Langjiang. The entire conference hall was heard.

Dong Dayou winked at him.

Li Qingcheng also listened with his ears.

Zhao Langjiang said, "Dadfather-in-law, can you speak with me?"

The two of them came to the next hall and Zhao Langjiang said, "There is something in my words, so I am stupid. I hope my father-in-law will give me some advice."

After saying that, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over. "It's just a hundred thousand taels, but it's not worthy of respect."

Gao Yuan sneered in his heart, Zhao Langjiang, Zhao Langjiang, I was so arrogant yesterday, but today my words still showed the fox's tail, right? But because you are still sensible, our family will help you. It just so happened that I recently raised someone outside the palace and used this money to help her redeem her.

He stretched out his two fingers without any breath, pinched the envelope, put it in his arms, cleared his throat, and said shrillly, "City Lord Zhao knows why the Ministry of War lets you make a judgment on your own when you report to the capital?"

After collecting the money, even the title changed.

Zhao Langjiang shook his head.

"This is Your Majesty testing you!" Gao Yuan said, "To be honest, these three prisoners of war are the same decree, and not killing is the same decree. Although they are all rewards, the contents are very different!"

"What if I kill it? So what if I don't kill it?"

Gao Yuan said, "I have said enough."

Zhao Langjiang said, "Now I am plundering the land, and Xiao Jing will be sent to Eunuch Gao's mansion later!"

Gao Yuan then said, "If you kill me, isn't the position of the Grand Commander of the Western Army empty? Your Majesty keeps it, just to give it to you."

"Why not kill?"

"Don't kill?" Gao Yuan said, "You just take care of this Yinyang City one acre and three-point land."

The two returned to the hall.

Gao Yuandao, "Lord Zhao, have you made a decision?"

Zhao Langjiang had made a decision and said: "In the battle of Western Xinjiang, our Ming Dynasty was powerful in power, and the situation was determined, and we urgently needed to cultivate and rest. I am going to stay in Western Xinjiang to reclaim wasteland and farm."

Gao Yuan did not expect that after he pointed out, Zhao Langjiang still said such words. He said coldly, "If you do this, it may damage the power of the heavenly dynasty of the country!"

Zhao Langjiang said, "The power of the emperor is not in martial arts, but in educating all people with virtue. These people have been expelled by Western Chu. If they can be tamed and become the people of the Ming Dynasty, they can demonstrate the prestige of our heavenly dynasty and attract all people to be naturalized!"

These words were flawless, and he had no ink in his stomach. Fortunately, he used a knife to force Chai Gongwang to sleep all night, so Chai Gongwang finally put this statement in his hand.

"Okay! OK! OK!"

Gao Yuan said three good things in a row before saying, "Zhao Langjiang obeys the order!"

Everyone stood up one after another, and bowed to the ground with Zhao Langjiang. Gao Yuan ordered people to receive an imperial edict and open the chant, "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered that in the battle of Northern Zhou and Western Chu, Zhao Duke Langjiang had great achievements and worked hard, and stabilized the situation in the battle in Western Xinjiang. He specially appointed him as the Lord of Yinyang City, and the imperial gift was given to the palace with a golden sword. Impress this!"

Everyone was upset when they heard this.

The pacification of the war in Western Xinjiang was a huge contribution. In the end, it only recognized Zhao Langjiang's status as the lord of Yinyang City that he had already obtained. Although he also brought a golden sword into the palace, it was more of a kind of glory and had no substantial power.

Zhao Langjiang's face was calm. At the moment of making a choice, he already knew the ending. He accepted the order and kowtowed three times, "I will accept the order!"

Gao Yuan sighed and said, "It's not worth it, it's not worth it. Originally, a great King of Yinyang, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, could not end up falling in nothing."

Zhao Langjiang said, "It's worth it!"

Gao Yuan said again, "Come here, Your Majesty has a secret decree to you."

Zhao Lianjiang leaned over and Gao Yuan gave some advice in his ear. Zhao Lianjiang's face changed suddenly. He took a few steps back, trembling all over, suppressed his anger, and made no sound.

In this battle, the Western Army had rewards, and others announced the edict on their behalf. Gao Yuan finished his edict and was unwilling to stay for a long time. He thought that Zhao Langjiang's filial piety behind him would probably be hopeless, so he took everyone away quickly.

However, he did not go out in vain this trip. At least he took Zhao Langjiang's 100,000 taels of silver. He took out the envelope from his arms and opened it and almost vomited blood.

"I have a Jinling Li Qingcheng owed Zhao Lianjiang 100,000 taels of silver, so I made this special account. The year, month and day."

...

Although he did not become the King of Yinyang, the court finally recognized the status of Zhao Langjiang as the Lord of Yinyang City and retained the autonomy. The court would no longer set up a prefectural office here.

The battle was won, and Yinyang City was filled with joy. The fact that the court appointed Zhao Langjiang as the city lord had spread throughout Yinyang. Chai Gongwang was also ordered to start preparing for the ceremony of Zhao Langjiang City lord.

Yinyang City.

Zhao Langjiang and Li Qingcheng stood on the city wall, watching the sunset set.

Li Qingcheng said, "I heard Gao Yuan's words."

Zhao Langjiang was shocked.

Li Qingcheng's martial arts skills are as good as Tongxiang, so these words naturally cannot escape his ears, "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Langjiang said, "I don't know."

Li Qingcheng said, "She is Lao Xiao's confidante. If you really follow the emperor's order to chase Yuwenshuang, I'm afraid that in the future, you and Lao Xiao will not even be able to do brothers. What's more..."

"Although Yuwen Tianlu is your enemy, he is still kind to you when he dies, and he also gives you all the power in his hand. If you have achieved today, he is also kind to you. If you do something that is unfavorable to his daughter, how can you pass the level of your conscience?"

"There are so many experts in the entire world, why do he ask you to do it? Have you ever considered it?"

Li Qingcheng continued, "This emperor is a bit scheming. I don't like it."

Zhao Langjiang said, "I can wait, I can drag it."

Although Yinyang City has the right to rule under the struggle of King Jindao, if it openly disobeys the emperor's order, the court can take back this power at any time.

In terms of killing prisoners, Zhao Langjiang's choice was inconsistent with what the court hoped. Then, no matter how great the contribution was, Zhao Langjiang was always outside the core of the emperor's power. The emperor would not see a person who was different from him in power. It would not take long for the new commander of the Western Army to take office. At that time, in addition to guarding against Western Chu and Northern Zhou, he would also be responsible for the task of monitoring Yinyang City every move.

However, the emperor also gave him a chance, that is Yuwenshuang. But with Xiao Jinyan's relationship, would Zhao Langjiang really touch Yuwenshuang?

The night has arrived.

Zhao Langjiang said to Li Qingcheng, "Accompany me to Guifan Tower."

The second time he came, Zhao Langjiang directly found the woman in green.

The woman in blue gave a gift and said, "See Lord Zhao!"

This time, the city lord is the legitimate city lord. The imperial edict from the court has been issued, and Zhao Langjiang is the official master of Yinyang City.

"I'll come to your chief."

"The master is not here, I have the final say here."

Zhao Langjiang took out a pendant from his arms and threw it over. This pendant was the skeleton seal that fell on the ground after Mr. Langya Gehai captured Mrs. Qi that day.

"What you said can be finalized?"

Seeing this, the woman's face changed drastically and she said, "I'll come when I go." After a while, she turned back and said, "Master, please invite me."

One is the lord of Yinyang City and the other is the lord of the underground. The two finally met.

The old man sat in a wheelchair and looked at Zhao Langjiang up and down, "I know all about the 30,000 prisoners. I didn't expect that you would have more courage than I thought."
