Zhu Liye quickly adjusted his mentality.

After all, he is the lord of all people and the lord of all people. He has long been able to show his emotions without showing his emotions. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Where is Zhao Qing from?"

Zhao Langjiang was shocked.

It seems like a word of concern for your well-being, but there is something in it. Especially after Yuwen Tianlu's study discovered something, he was also thinking about whether the emperor had discovered anything?

Before joining the Western Expedition Army, Zhao Langjiang had wandered in Chenliu for many years, and his household registration was also Chenliu County, which must have been recorded on the case. As for Dingzhou's identity, few people knew about it except for a few others, and he decided to ruin it in his heart.

"Reply to Your Majesty, I am from Chenliu, my parents are hunters in the mountains. Both of my parents died since I was young, and it was not until I had the opportunity to join the Western Expedition Army and be loyal to Your Majesty that I have today."

Zhu Liye said oh, calmly, "I didn't expect that Chenliu is still a place where the cows produce milk there tastes good. I wonder if you have tasted it?"

Zhao Langjiang felt a chill on his back when he heard this.

In Dingzhou dialect, Niu and Liu are homophones. Xiao Jinyan made fun of him because of this incident. Later, Zhao Langjiang put some effort into changing the pronunciation. The emperor's words seemed to be chatting, but in fact they were exploring his details.

Thinking of this, he said respectfully, "I am poor and have never drunk milk."

Zhu Liye pricked up his ears, distinguished for a moment, and stopped pursuing it. However, the comments followed seemed a little careless. He no longer asked him about Shenxiangou's withdrawal from his troops. He said a few more words and said justice to Eunuch Gao, "Please announce the imperial edict."

Eunuch Gao stepped forward and announced the imperial edict of Your Majesty. It was nothing more than Zhao Langjiang's repelling Northern Zhou and Western Chu's coalition forces, and he had a few words of war. Since he was already a prince of a different surname, he was given the title of Minister of War. His wife Yang Xiaoxiao and his son Zhao Tianci also gave rewards to each other, especially Zhao Tianci, who was named Tianci Marquis. In addition, he was rewarded to the palace of the capital, etc.

The officials present almost finished listening to the imperial edict in surprise. The young officials had envy in their eyes. They were only in their twenties and had already been crowned kings, or were they from third-rank officials and officials from border areas? Today, they really didn't treat Zhao Langjiang as an outsider. King Yinyang must have a bright future in the future. It seems that they must move around well in the future.

However, some senior officials who have experienced more than ten years of official battles have heard a different taste from the rewards.

He is only in his twenties, so where can he still have room for improvement in the future? How can he reward him when he wins two more battles? He is too proud now, and he may fall even worse in the future.

As for the few old people in the officialdom, the ministers of the previous dynasty expressed their confusion about Zhao Langjiang's sudden rise, especially after seeing his appearance, they inevitably muttered in their hearts, but secretly remembered that they must keep a distance from Zhao Langjiang.

Zhao Langjiang did not expect that there would be a reward, but the Ministry of Rites had already explained that it would not go against the will of the superiors, so he had to kowtow to receive the order.

Zhu Liye said again, "Now that the war in Western Xinjiang has been settled, what strategy should Zhao Qing take, the border defense in Western Xinjiang be adopted?"

Zhao Langjiang said, "In the battle of Hengduan Mountain, the vitality of Western Chu was greatly damaged, especially the Emperor of Western Chu succeeded to the throne. His foundation was unstable and he should be unable to start a war with our Ming Dynasty. But the ambition of the wolf has to be assuming that he thought that he should open border trade and use tea silk and other Western Chu war horses to equip the border defense."

Zhu Liye raised his voice, "What if the other party insists on going to war?"

"Western Chu has many forces and factions. We can use the hands of trade to support the forces on both sides and attack each other, so that they can fall into civil strife, or protect Xijiang for ten years."

"What about ten years later?"

Zhao Langjiang replied, "It is up to Your Majesty to decide."

Zhu Liye pondered for a moment and asked again, "I want to appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Western Army. I wonder what Zhao Qing wants?"

All the ministers were in an uproar.

After Yuwen Tianlu's death, Xue Huai's position as the chief commander of the Western Army was always in charge, and the court also planned to be dispatched from the Pingnan Army, waiting for His Majesty to issue an order. Unexpectedly, His Majesty proposed to let Zhao Langjiang take over today. This is not a joke.

Zhao Langjiang knelt down on the ground and refused: "I dare not."

“Why?”

"I am still very experienced, lacking experience and limited ability. I may not be able to take this great task. Please think twice."

Zhu Liye was just testing him, but when he saw him refuse, he didn't mention this matter.

The emperor seemed careless in the following court discussion. When he was about to leave the court, he said, "A few days will be my 60th birthday. You should bring your wife and children together."

After saying that, Eunuch Gao retreated and Zhu Liye left the Taiji Hall. Zhao Langjiang stood in the hall, and all the officials came to congratulate him one after another. However, he only heard of these people and did not match the title at all. Someone from the Ministry of Personnel came forward to introduce them to him.

Some of these people came to congratulate each other, and invited the opportunity to gather, but there were a few old ministers whispering outside the hall gate, not knowing what they were talking about.

However, no one noticed that not long after the court meeting, two fast horses left the capital, running all the way to Chenliu County and the other to Dingzhou City.

...

Xiao Jinyan did not hesitate. Before the huge rock pestle fell, he instantly came to the stone pit, released the string force, and punched the rock with his right hand.

Boom.

The huge stone fell to the side under force, pulled the wooden frames on both sides, and rolled out. The punch was extremely powerful, and the huge stone pestle knocked down more than ten wooden poles that were in the yard. For a moment, the heads of the entire backyard were rolling, and it was a mess.

Seeing this, Chuanxiao, who was standing not far away, waved his maces and stabbed Xiao Jinyan in the back.

When Xiao Jinyan entered the field, the string power had already locked in Chuanxiao. He was no longer familiar with Chuanxiao's mace method. When he was about to contact, Xiao Jinyan held Chuanxiao's wrist with a horizontal palm. Before another mace stabbed, he stepped on his waist and hit his back, sending out an internal force.

Chuanxiao's body shook, and a thick internal force was transmitted into his body. He retreated three or four feet in a row, inserted his two maces into the ground, and stopped his decline.

Taking advantage of this skill, Xiao Jinyan had rescued the sword from the stone pit.

The news of Xiao was defeated in a battle, and he knew that he had encountered a powerful enemy.

He relied on his height and was the four major guards of Shujian Mountain. He was the highest martial arts, followed by passing books and passing swords. As for passing qin, he failed to catch it? The fortune at the beginning of the year was still wandering in the upper realm of Zhixuan.

Chuanxiao was confident that with his skills, he could enter the top ten of the earth list even in the world. However, the person in front of him had only entered the Tongxiang Realm for a short time, but the strength he showed was far above him.

What surprised him even more was that the other party seemed to know his method of double maces very well, and he actually took his full blow with bare hands.

A warning sound was loud.

Countless masters from Dengwenyuan rushed to the backyard.

Xiao Jinyan knew that the strength of Dengwen Academy was everywhere, and after Vancouver took power, he also brought many experts secretly trained. It is important to save people at this moment. If the fight continues, the situation may be unfavorable.

He was ready to run away.

It is said that Xiao has adjusted his inner breath, so he will not allow him to leave. As long as he delays for a while, he will be able to leave this skilled person from Dengwenyuan.

What's more, he suffered a secret loss in that move just now, so he must regain his face.

Double maces sting.

Xiao Jinyan dragged the sword and saw that the opponent was coming in a fierce manner, but he did not hide his weakness. The string force caused the true energy to surge and directly knocked out a five-leader.

The two maces were three feet away and seemed to encounter an invisible wall of air, unable to move forward. Immediately, a huge force surged out of the opponent's fist.

But this is not what scares Chuanxiao the most.

Because he recognized the punch.

Dean Li’s unparalleled divine fist, and in the world, there is only one person who can use this set of boxing skills except Li Chuntie.

Xiao Jinyan.

Although Xiao Jinyan wore a mask of strangers, his boxing skills were not a scam. When he was learning skills in the past, Xiao Jinyan often had a conversation with the four guards. Although his level was low at that time, his moves and routines did not change.

No wonder he broke his mace technique with one move. Xiao Jinyan’s understanding of Chuanxiao’s martial arts was just like his understanding of Xiao Jinyan.

When my heart was in a trance, the fist and mace were in contact.

The two maces were under force and bent!

Xiao Jinyan exhaled his internal force and said that Xiao could only retreat. But he could not retreat. Once he moved out of here, there was the courtyard wall opposite. He fled from here before people everywhere arrived.

Chuan Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and shouted, "Broken!"

Countless true energy poured into the two maces, almost releasing the law space, but under Xiao Jinyan's oppression, he had almost no power to fight back.

boom!

Chuanxiao hit the wall in the backyard.

Crash.

A piece of the back wall of Dengwenyuan collapsed, revealing a gap of more than one meter. Xiao Jinyan carried the sword and fled out.

When I looked back, I saw Vancouver coming to the backyard surrounded by several guards.

More than ten crossbow arrows pointed at Xiao Jinyan.

The crossbow arrows in the Dengwenyuan are different from crossbow arrows in the army. They are made of black iron and can be fired in a row, and one of them is black arrows, which are coated with poison and are sealed with blood.

Xiao Jinyan is not afraid of poison, but if he gets a sword and even a little bit of flesh, even if Doctor Xue comes, he will be unable to make things happen.

"Xiao Jinyan!"

Vancouver recognized him.

A mask may be able to get away with it in front of strangers, but there is no cover in front of an acquaintance or an opponent who knows you. Some things cannot be changed, and the body shape, sound, smell, moves, and even the way of running true energy will give people a fixed pattern.

Xiao Jinyan was called to break his identity and was not in a hurry to escape. He slowly said, "Mr. Wen, I thought you had died in Suzhou, but I had been sad for you for a long time."

Vancouver did not respond, but said, "I thought you would hide outside and dare not come back, but I was worried for a long time."

Xiao Jinyan looked around and said that except for the flute, these people were almost completely unfair and could not name their names. But the heads of those who could name them were already hung on the wooden pole.

It can be imagined that when Li Chuntie was liquidated, the old old men of Dengwenyuan were also bloodbathed.

He felt sad.

"You killed these people?"

Vancouver said, "Director Li is planning a rebellion and these people are all accomplices, so how can they stay?"

Xiao Jinyan pointed to a head and asked in a bad voice, "Uncle Zhao Si, he is also an old man in the yard. He is only responsible for sweeping the floor and ringing the bell every day. I remember that sometimes you go to his place to drink and eat, and he is also plotting against him?"

Vancouver's gentle and elegant face showed a look of shame, and was immediately replaced by a ruthless intention. "He shouldn't have died, but that night, he opened the door of the backyard and let several people go. It was not me who killed him, but he was seeking death by himself."

"Have you ever thought that he might just not want to see his colleagues kill each other?"

Vancouver said, "I am ordered to do things without talking about my colleagues."
