Chapter 20 Baron and Lord

"Your Majesty, although the number of border guards of the empire is large, their combat effectiveness is not strong and too scattered. They are not the opponents of the armies of the four dukes of the empire at all. Only by integrating the border guards of the empire can we have the ability to compete with the armies of the four dukes of the empire!

In the past, His Majesty was afraid that the strength of the border defense forces was too strong. He would not obey the orders of the empire and become a separatist force like the four dukes. He deliberately divided the border guards into dozens of small forces to check and balance each other, and finally obeyed the orders of the empire.

Now, the border guards have become a large military group because the rich industry of the Ye family has been combined into a new interest group. Even if Your Majesty wants to stop it, he is powerless.

Instead of allowing it to develop freely and become a cancer of the empire, it is better to lead it to fight with the four imperial dukes, kill the strength of both sides, and make due contributions to the unification of imperial decrees.

The old man in the starry sky sacrificial robe looked at the curious king of Wu and said faintly.

"The imperial border guards are not fools, and it is impossible to easily get along with the four dukes of the empire!"

Hearing the old man's words, the king of Wu shook his head gently.

"Your Majesty, as long as there are enough interests, the imperial border guards will definitely take action against the four great princes of the empire to solve the great problems for your majesty. If the empire can reasonably use the power of the imperial border guards, it can solve the two major military groups of the four princes and the imperial border guards once and for all."

Seeing the king of Wu shaking his head, the old man said confidently.

Hearing the words of the old man wearing a starry sacrificial robe and seeing the self-confidence on his face, the king of the State of Wu bowed his head and meditated a little, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and said, "We need to make a good plan for this..."

"Young master, the imperial edict of His Majesty has arrived, please go outside!"

A guard of Yefu hurried to Ye Chen's door and shouted.

"Oh, I know."

Ye Chen replied casually, got up, put the two best spiritual stones in his hand into the space ring, tidyed up his clothes, opened the door, and walked out.

Soon, Ye Chen came together with several stewsmen of Yefu and two personal guards, and rushed to the front yard of Yefu.

At this time, a eunuch in a khaki robe and holding the imperial edict in his hand looked at the front yard of Yefu with impatient eyes, and behind him stood quietly two burly bodyguards.

"Ms. Ye, since you are here, then take the order quickly!"

Seeing Ye Chen, the eunuch's eyes lit up and quickly said loudly that if Ye Ying had not been seriously damaged, he would definitely flare with Ye Chen before sealing himself and the crystal ice coffin in order to get some benefits.

But now, he doesn't have that mind and doesn't want to get any benefits from Ye Chen, because he clearly knows that His Majesty Wu has no good impression of Ye Chen. If it weren't for the pressure of the Border Defense General Club and seeing Ye Ying's contribution to Wu, Ye Chen would not have been Exile is to be locked up in prison.

In this case, as the people around His Majesty Wu, it's too late to hide. How can you make friends with Ye Chen?

Hearing the eunuch's words, Ye Chen did not hesitate at all and immediately led several stewards of the Ye family to kneel on one knee with A Er to welcome the imperial edict of the King of Wu.

"Order of King Xuanwu: In order to commend General Ye Ying's outstanding contributions to the State of Wu, Ye Chen, the son of Ye Ying, was specially awarded the title of Baron of Wu and the territory of Linhai County. At the same time, in view of the unstable situation in Linhai County, Baron Ye Chen was ordered to go to Linhai County immediately to take office without any mistake.

Because Linhai County is too far away from the empire, the empire does not have strong control over it. In order to facilitate Baron Ye Chen to manage Linhai County, he specially ordered Baron Ye Chen to deliver all the Ye family's property to the Imperial Treasury for 300 million gold coins as the century-old tax of Linhai County!"

Seeing Ye Chen and others kneeling on one knee to receive the decree, the eunuch did not hesitate at all. He immediately opened the edict to read the edict and handed it to Ye Chen after reading it out.

Hearing the content of the imperial edict, Ye Chen was furious. He did not think that the king of the State of Wu was so shameless that he gave himself the title of baron, seized all the industries of the Ye family and exiled himself to Linhai County.

That's right, it's exile. There was a riot in Linhai County decades ago. The officials and troops of the empire in Linhai County were killed by the rioting crowd. The king of the State of Wu gave Linhai County to Ye Chen as his territory and let him go to Linhai County to take office. It's not exile, what is it?

Seeing Ye Chen kneeling on one knee, his face was full of anger and did not mean to get up to receive the decree. The eunuch holding the decree sneered and said, "Baron Ye Chen, why don't you accept the decree!"

Seeing the sneer and sarcasm on the eunuch's face, Ye Chen didn't speak. A Da A Er behind him was furious and shouted loudly at the same time, "Shameless!"

A Da's two were both nine-level soldiers. Their angry shouts were like thunder all over the sky, blowing up in the front yard of Yefu, making the eunuch holding the imperial edict shocked, his face turned white, his legs trembled, and he almost fell directly to the ground.

Feeling that Ada Aer's angry shout contained the sound of thunder, the two tough men stood quietly behind the eunuch, their faces remained unchanged, and they shouted coldly: "Bold!"

Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed in the front yard of Yefu. A shadowless sound wave force, like a steel needle, pierced into the ears of Ye Chen and many slave guards in the front yard of Yefu, making Ye Chen and others's head tingle, dizzy, and some weak slave guards directly emit a The sad scream fell to the ground and fainted.

"Looking for death!"

A Da'er, who had a tingling head, and Ye Yi and others who rushed over when they heard the movement in the front yard. They saw Ye Chen covering his head with a painful face. When they saw the servant guard lying on the ground and fainted, they couldn't help shouting angrily, pulled out their long sword, and moved their bodies like lightning to the two behind the eunuch. The famous tough man's body was stabbed away.

"I don't know whether to live or die!"

Seeing A Da, A Er, and Ye Yi's more than ten nine-level soldiers, waved the long sword in their hands and stabbed at their bodies. The two strong men standing behind the eunuchs sneered, pulled out the long sword on their bodies, waved them casually, and shot out a sharp sword light from the middle, and shot A Da'a. Erye and others were all shrouded.

"Swordsman!"

A A Erye and others, who were shrouded in the fierce sword awn, felt the murderous spirit and strong sword meaning in the sword awn, and involuntarily appeared in their minds.

Ada Aerye and others are all people who have seen the world. Although they are surprised that the two people behind the eunuch are swordsmen, they will not panic because of this. Instead, they are more cautious. They move like lightning to form a battle array, wave the sword in their hands, and magnify the power of the sword of more than ten people with the increase effect of the sword array. Bei, facing the attack of the sword awn waved by the two sword saints.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A violent explosion sounded in the front yard of Yefu, and bright lights rose in the front yard of Yefu. A powerful airflow, with terrible destructive power, destroyed the flowers and trees in the front yard of Yefu.

" Stop!"

Ye Chen, who woke up, immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his body and roared. Suddenly, the two swordsmen and A Da A Ye and others who were fighting fiercely retreated without hesitation and turned their eyes to Ye Chen.

A Da Erye and others are Ye Chen's guards. They dare not disobey Ye Chen's orders, and the two swordsmen do not want to fight to the death with A Da A Ye and Ye Yi and others, causing themselves to be in danger. Therefore, Ye Chen's roared, and the two sides of the war stopped at the same time.

Seeing the armistice between the two sides, Ye Chen's tense nerves couldn't help but relax. Now he doesn't want to fight with the king of the State of Wu. Once Ah Er Ye and others hurt the two sword saints, the king of the State of Wu will certainly refuse to give up and will 100% send more and stronger guards to deal with him.

At the same time, he knew that the strength of the nine-level warrior and the holy strongman was very different. He did not want Ada A Erye and others to suffer casualties, so he could only choose to compromise, accept the will of the king of Wu, give up the Ye family's property, leave the imperial capital, and go to the chaotic Linhai County to take office.

Seeing Ye Chen compromise, the eunuch who was instructed by the king of the State of Wu before leaving the palace saw that the purpose of deterrence had been achieved, he immediately stood up, handed over the imperial edict to Ye Chen, and returned to the palace with two sword saints.
