Guangyang County, Drunken Immortal Tower.
"Have you heard? His Majesty is going to confer Ye Qingtian the title of Lord Guangyang and let him rule Guangyang County.”Xu Muzhi said excitedly.
"What is it? Are you serious?" Yang Suihang quickly asked.
" Of course it's true. The news has spread in Chang 'an. I heard that His Majesty insisted on making Ye Qingtian Marquis of Guangyang. Presumably, in less than two days, His Majesty's imperial edict would be issued.”
Xu Muzhi had a smug look on his face, as if he was the one who did this.
"That's great. In this way, Ye Qingtian will be with us forever.”
"His Majesty has finally done something that benefits the country and the people.”
……
In the Guangyang Mansion, Ye Qiu was handling official business.
At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter rang out.
Ye Qiu looked over and saw a familiar figure swaggering in.
This person was none other than the Duke of Lu, Cheng Yaojin, and his son, Cheng Chumo.
When he saw Ye Qiu, Cheng Chumo's expression was obviously a little unnatural. Memories of the past suddenly surged into his mind, making him wish he could find a hole to hide in.
"Oh? So it's Marshal Cheng. May I know why Marshal Cheng has graced us with your presence?”Seeing Cheng Yaojin, Ye Qiu couldn't help but smile.
"Congratulations brother Ye, congratulations brother Ye, this Old Cheng has come to bring you a piece of great news.”Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"Oh? I wonder what good news Old Brother Cheng has brought me? Did you bring me a large sum of money again? Don't worry, I'll definitely accept it all.”Ye Qiu smiled.
Cheng Yaojin's face darkened when he heard Ye Qiu's words.
F * ck, this Ye Qiu's mouth is really stinky. I've brought him such good news, and he's still talking about what happened back then.
One had to know that the battle at Dangyang Mountain was Cheng Yaojin's greatest humiliation in his life.
Now that Ye Qiu had brought up this matter, it was no different from exposing his scars. How could he be happy?
Although he was not happy, Cheng Yaojin was not angry.
As he spoke, Cheng Yaojin took out the imperial edict from his pocket.
"Ye Qiu, kneel down and listen to the conferment." Cheng Yaojin said.
Ye Qiu was stunned and sat there without moving.
Cheng Yaojin's face darkened even more, but he knew what kind of person Ye Qiu was. Even if Li Shiming came personally, he wouldn't kneel.
"I brought you great news this time. You should put on an act.”Cheng Yaojin said.
"If you have something to say, say it." Ye Qiu said directly.
Cheng Yaojin was helpless and immediately began to recite the imperial edict.
" In accordance with the heavens, the emperor has issued an edict. Considering that Ye Qiu has done a great favor to Guangyang County and is loved by the people, he is hereby conferred the title of Marquis of Guangyang. He will lead Guangyang and be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold…"
Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Ye Qiu was stunned.
What the hell was this?
Was there water in Li Er's head?
He had not shown the Great Tang any kindness in the past. Not only had he captured two of their Grand Marshals, but he had also extorted a large sum of money from them. Later, he had taken over Guangyang County and even robbed the Crown Prince.
He didn't send troops to attack him, but gave him the title of Lord Guangyang. What did this mean?
Ye Qiu couldn't understand Li Er's thoughts.
"Ye Qiu, quickly accept the decree."
Seeing Ye Qiu in a daze, Cheng Yaojin was a little proud.
Ye Qiu did not accept the imperial edict. This was also within Cheng Yaojin's expectations. He directly handed the imperial edict to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu threw the imperial edict on the table without thinking, looking at it with disdain.
Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded.
This was an imperial edict!
Li Shi Min's imperial edict, anyone who received it would be deeply grateful.
Ye Qiu, what's the meaning of that look of disdain?
Is there someone like you?
Although he kept cursing in his heart, Cheng Yaojin had dealt with Ye Qiu many times and knew what kind of person Ye Qiu was, so he didn't take this matter to heart.
This was also the reason why Cheng Yaojin had taken the initiative to send the imperial edict this time. He was afraid that others would not be able to stand Ye Qiu's personality and cause something to happen.
"Oh right, before coming here, His Majesty has repeatedly instructed us to announce this to the world.”Cheng Yaojin said to Cheng Chumo behind him.
"Yes."
So Cheng Chumo left with his men.
Not long after, voices could be heard from every corner of Guangyang County.
" By the will of the heavens, the emperor has decreed that Ye Qiu will be granted the title of Lord Guangyang. He will be in charge of Guangyang County and will be hereditary…"
" By the will of the heavens, the emperor has decreed that Ye Qiu will be granted the title of Lord Guangyang. He will be in charge of Guangyang County and will be hereditary…"
When the people of Guangyang County heard this news, they were instantly overjoyed. They walked out of their homes one by one and shouted along with the people who shouted this sentence before.
Not long after, this voice resounded throughout Guangyang County. This voice spread to every corner of Guangyang County and everyone's ears.
Guangyang County was a chaotic place, and this voice reached the ears of the people Li Shiming wanted them to hear.
"F * ck! Li Er, you're scamming me."
Ye Qiu immediately understood.
Previously, he had thought that Li Er had good intentions when he was appointed an official. He did not expect that he had ulterior motives.
Ye Qiu laughed. It seemed that this Li Er was also a two-faced king.
But so what?
As a mountain bandit, the first thing he had to do was to be fearless.
