Chapter 543: The Plan of Yan Daiqing in Saibei (asking for monthly ticket)
Yan Daiqing? ?

Generals Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong looked strange.

When they heard the name, all sorts of cruel and vicious schemes came to their minds in an instant. The two generals, who were used to the harsh weather in the north, felt a chill on the back of their necks in an instant and could not help but stand in awe.

Xue Tianxing has not answered yet.

Yuan Shitong said solemnly: "I wonder which Mr. Yan Daiqing it is!"

The visitor smiled and said, "Yan Daiqing from Saibei."

Yuan Shitong was stunned, touched his head, looked at Xue Tianxing, and asked in confusion:
"I've never heard of Yan Daiqing in our northern border."

Xue Tianxing sighed in his heart, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "It should be Mr. Wen Qingyu in person. We have prepared wine and meat in the camp. Mr. Yan Daiqing, please!"

Wen Qingyu smiled and said, "General Xue, how did you know that?"

Xue Tianxing took out a letter and said, "The message was sent by a flying eagle thousands of miles away, and it is written by Mr. Yan Daiqing himself." The letter said that if the person arrived and said he was Yan Daiqing, then there would be no need to hesitate.

That was Wen Qingyu.

The honest and reliable young man flipped through the letter, smiled and said, "Ah, this fake guy actually accused me, the real Yan Daiqing. It's really unreasonable. Hahaha."

Xue Tianxing thought for a moment and said, "Then, Mr. Yan Daiqing, please come into the camp and enjoy the wine and meat."

Wen Qingyu walked in with a smile.

After all, the northern part of the Great Wall is bitterly cold, and the supplies cannot be compared with those in the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River. They only had large pieces of pork, cabbage, and vermicelli stewed until they were soft and fragrant. The two toasted and had a full meal. Yuan Shitong sighed and said:
"Originally, we wanted to lead our army south to join forces with His Majesty, but Jiang Su, after defeating half of the Turks, blocked our way."

"We are blocked here by the Ying State. We can neither go up nor down. We can only be depressed here. Sir, you are here with great wisdom. Do you have any good ideas?"

Wen Qingyu drank and smiled, "That's why I came here."

Wen Qingyu lowered his eyes slightly.

In the first year of the Qin Emperor's reign, he and the stick monk Thirteen went to the academy, hoping to invite the elders in the academy to come to Jiangnan, but they failed. Wen Qingyu knew that it was impossible and had to give up.

Those old guys are still powerful.

This time, Monk Thirteen was asked, "Have you let it go?"
After learning from the painful experience, I feel that my telepathy can be further improved.

The two younger generations still came down.

Now, with the help of the flying eagle trained by the omnipotent Lei Laomeng, he trekked for several months from the grassland, bypassed the border fortresses set up by Ying State, successfully entered the outside of the Northern Territory, and reunited with Yuan Shitong and others.

As for Lei Laomeng, he has already returned to the Chen State Sect's Exotic Beast Villa.

The owner of the Exotic Beast Villa was extremely worried. There were constant disputes in the world. Their sect was more powerful than the exotic beasts, and their other martial arts were mediocre. But how could it be so easy to find the exotic beasts in the world nowadays?

The sect leader is only at the sixth level, and with the help of the sect's background and rare beasts, he may be able to hold back those ordinary masters in the world, but he cannot deal with those ruthless people. He thought that in such a chaotic world, his sect might not be able to survive.

But then a big, thick thigh fell from the sky.

The leg hair is thicker than that at the Exotic Beast Villa.

After all, Lei Laomeng had worked hard and made great contributions. He was a general in the Qilin Army. He ordered some cavalry to come and attack the front. The people in the martial arts world heard the thunder and saw a hundred cavalrymen coming in armor and weapons. They were so powerful that it seemed that they would have no problem razing the Monster Villa.

The Beast Taming Villa was shocked.

What?! The Qin Emperor's Qilin Army is coming?!
What? He was planning to go on a quest? He sent out all the veteran generals of the Qilin Army?!
At first I thought that the Emperor Qin was planning to go on a journey to the other world.

Then he discovered that it was his own sect’s strength that had arrived!
What outer disciples?
That's the sect's follower!

The master of the Exotic Beast Villa, who is good at maneuvering with his sleeves, wanted to sweep the tablets of the old guys on the table to the ground with his arm on the spot, and then offer Lei Laomeng on top, saying, "You are the ancestor."

Lei Laomeng would never do that. He burned incense to the ancestors with great respect.

Then he proposed to persuade the Exotic Beast Villa to join the Qilin Academy.

The Exotic Beast Villa agreed without hesitation. Now it is no longer the Exotic Beast Villa in the martial arts world, but the Qilin Academy, a branch of the Beast Taming Department, and the Insect Taming School of the Witchcraft and Sorcery lineage, and is known as the side branch of the Qilin Academy.

It is compulsory.

Students of Qilin Academy must choose to study either exotic beasts or insect control.

Otherwise you will get into trouble while traveling in the world.

Yuan Shitong was overjoyed that he had successfully sent Wen Qingyu here. He asked how to deal with Ying State and how to assist the Emperor of Qin in the Central Plains. Wen Qingyu just smiled and said, "General Yuan, don't be anxious. A centipede will not die without being stiffened. With the territory and population of Ying State, we can't have any major impact on them with the manpower we have here."

Yuan Shitong also knew this, but he just took another bite of the stew before sighing and saying, "What should I do?"

Worry returns to sorrow.

But you can't let yourself get hurt when it comes to what you eat.

You should eat or you have to eat.

Wen Qingyu said: "If you want to break through the territory of Ying State with external forces, it is not possible, but at least you need to have a foundation that is not much different from Ying State, and go through fierce battles and exchanges, and both sides have to pay a huge price before you can succeed."

"It's better to let them have their own internal problems."

"Let them kill themselves."

Yuan Shitong was puzzled: "Kill yourself?"

"Who would kill themselves?"

Wen Qingyu smiled: "The differences between the upper and lower levels, the incompatibility between the ruler and the ministers, are enough."

Yuan Shitong was still a little confused, but Xue Tianxing already understood everything. He stopped Yuan Shitong from asking and just drank with Wen Qingyu. After nightfall, Yuan Shitong fell into a deep sleep, while Xue Tianxing went to visit Mr. Wen Qingyu.

The file recording the many words and deeds of the 'Son of Duke Taiping' was handed over to Wen Qingyu. No matter his early achievements or his later attempts to seize power and fame, everything was recorded in it without any reservations.

After Mr. Wen Qingyu flipped through it, he smiled and nodded, saying:

"Thank you, General Xue."

Xue Tianxing said: "I dare not."

After he handed the file to Wen Qingyu, he acted as if nothing had happened and never asked about it again. He only talked to Wen Qingyu about Ying State and the confrontation between Ying State's Grand Tutor and the Qin Emperor, which had kept the Qin Emperor firmly at the border for several years.

Xue Tianxing sighed, "However, even though Emperor Ying, Jiang Yuan, has indulged in sensual pleasures over the past two years, Ying State is still peaceful. I heard that this year is another bumper harvest, and people from all over the country are praising the peace."

Wen Qingyu said: "It's a good thing."

Xue Tianxing looked at Wen Qingyu calmly.

The latter looked at Xue Tianxing and said with a smile: "Even if it is the old Chen, the emperor who was deposed by the Shenwu King Chen Fubi had [480 temples in the Southern Dynasty]. Especially when the monks were rewarded heavily, the amount of incense oil used every day was a shocking number."

"But even so, despite years of conquering the southwest, fighting against the Western Regions, and fighting against the Ying State, the Chen State did not exhaust its resources. After that, during the period of the regent, Chen Dingye, and until a few years ago, the accumulated drawbacks broke out all at once."

"This is the foundation of a country with a long history and vast territory."

"The blood is too thick. Besides, every year's good harvest and population growth will restore some of the foundation. In many dynasties, the emperor's indulgence in sensual pleasures in the harem was the most insignificant thing that led to the change of dynasties and the decline of the country."

"The real cause is the emperor's incompetence, which led to the dispersion of military power and the chaos among the aristocratic families."

"But before Jiang Wanxiang died, he killed all the great families that might bring such disasters. Jiang Su is also in charge of the overall situation. If we want to rely on Jiang Yuan's misdeeds, it will take at least twenty years to drain the blood and energy of this huge three hundred year dynasty."

Xue Tianxing remained silent.

For a moment, I didn’t know whether to feel that these twenty years were a long or short time.

It seems long, but in just twenty years, a great country that owns nearly half of the world, has a history of more than three hundred years, and has just experienced a sixty-year period of management by a wise and capable king, has exhausted all its resources.

Fast, too fast.

This is simply an otherworldly loser.

On the other hand, they felt that it would take twenty years to exhaust the strength of Ying State and unify the world. Such continuous wars would be too long. The world would suffer, the people would suffer, and the soldiers would suffer.

Wen Qingyu said: "However, fortunately, this is only the king's own doing. Apart from this, we can still help him a little."

"Everyone has desires. A poor scholar and a powerful prime minister are both the same person, but their choices about a thing are different."

"As majestic as the Shenwu King Chen Fubi was, when he became the regent, he gradually became tyrannical and eventually turned against the Taiping Duke."

"The power that comes with true authority over millions of people, the power to decide life and death, will amplify the desires and ripples in anyone's heart. All we need to do is to magnify his desires a little faster."

Xue Tianxing subconsciously looked at Wen Qingyu.

It was late at night. A candle was lit on the table. The flickering light illuminated the gentleman's face. Wen Qingyu put his fingers in front of his lips, dividing his face into two parts, and smiled gently and sincerely:
"A tyrant in power will eventually be destroyed, sooner or later."

"But we can only offer a little help, a tiny bit."

"Just a little bit."

Xue Tianxing looked at the fire in Wen Qingyu's eyes, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of the fire in the Dangxiang King's city that burned away the Wolf King's dream.

This is Yan Daiqing from the Western Regions, the most wicked schemer in the world.

How great is His Majesty the Emperor Qin to be able to control this person? !
What kind of means could be used to make such a person willingly follow Qin Wuhou, who at that time only had a small piece of territory and ordinary martial arts skills.

He is truly an extraordinary person!
Xue Tianxing looked calm.

He drank and said, "Just wait and see what you can do, sir!"

"Yuan Shitong and I are willing to sacrifice our lives for your advice, sir."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, he stood up and said goodbye.

Wen Qingyu saw him off and saw the famous general disappear into the darkness. He was never seen again. He said to himself, "Xue Tianxing is indeed the cunning general under the command of the Duke of Taiping."

“It’s somewhat similar to me.”

He looked at the file recording the words and deeds of "Son of Duke Taiping" with a smile on his face.

On the second day, Wen Qingyu went to visit the son of the Duke of Taiping with great fanfare. Li Xingyi had been stripped of his martial arts, and when he knew that Wen Qingyu was coming, he thought he would die and was disheartened. However, he never expected that Wen Qingyu would take the matter so seriously, and he was flattered.

Wen Qingyu highly praised Li Xingyi for his previous contributions.

But they avoid talking about the many evil things he has done.

In front of the army, he announced the reward for Li Xingyi to rally the army. This place was not far from the border of Ying State. Wen Qingyu ordered Yuan Shitong and Xue Tianxing to go and challenge the enemy. The Ying State garrison was out, and the two sides fought. Yuan Shitong and Xue Tianxing pretended to surrender and retreated as requested by Mr. Wen Qingyu.

Abandoned the hundreds of miles of land under his control.

Under such circumstances, he secretly wrote a letter of surrender and asked Li Xingyi to go to negotiate peace. Li Xingyi was startled and had not planned to go, but Wen Qingyu had already set him up, so he had to go. Fortunately, Wen Qingyu also went with him.

Wang Chuan Ning, the defender of Ying State, sneered and asked what was the matter!

Wen Qingyu stated his purpose and said, "We are only two generals, isolated here thousands of miles away, and the Emperor Qin does not reward us or give us support. He wants us to die here!"

He also secretly said to Wang Chuan Ning: "This Li Xingyi is the adopted son of General Xue Tianxing. As a substitute for the son of the Duke of Taiping, he has been very prestigious in the Taiping Army outside the Northern Territory over the years and has made great contributions."

"Although the Emperor Qin has half of the territory now, he certainly does not want Li Xingyi to return."

"They regard us as abandoned pawns!"

"Since he is unkind, he can't blame us for being unjust!"

"We have heard that His Majesty the Saint has gained world-wide fame and we are willing to lead the Taiping Army to surrender!"

Wang Chuan Ning was deeply moved.

He also knew about the fake son of Duke Taiping. If he were in his place, if he had a foundation like the Qin Emperor, he would definitely not want to keep such a fake son of Duke Taiping around and would have killed him.

He was also tempted by the benefits of [the former subordinates of Duke Taiping surrendering to Ying State].

Based on his understanding of Jiang Yuan, His Majesty is ambitious and fond of showing off.

Also, because of things that happened when he was young, he was still brooding over Qin Emperor Li Guanyi, and he would never let go of anything that severely humiliated Qin Emperor.

After hesitating for a while, Wen Qingyu took out something and said, "We would like to give you this as an apology!" He opened the box and saw twenty-four bright pearls inside, shining brilliantly.

"I heard that Empress He Ruo loves rare treasures the most. This is a national treasure from the southwest. It was used by Duke Taiping to seek marriage. It was obtained by General Xue. I originally wanted to give it to Emperor Qin, but I never thought that he would be so heartless!"

Wang Chuan Ning was overjoyed and finally agreed, saying:

"well!"

"In this case, you can rest here first. I will report this to the court and you will be rewarded soon."

Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong were amazed at the twenty-four beads and said, "Didn't we hear that such treasures belonged to the southwest?" Wen Qingyu said, "Yes, but not much news has been spread. At least the general of the Northern Territory will not know about it."

Yuan Shitong was a little confused: "The real thing is in the southwest, where did it come from here?"

Wen Qingyu smiled and said, "It's a fake made by Lei Laomeng."

Wen Qingyu sold the counterfeit goods made by Lei Laomeng that day to the noble families.

Now these things are back in his hands.

Naturally, this is due to the ardent hopes and sincere support of many aristocratic families.

Yuan Shitong subconsciously said, "This, this isn't fake? It might be hidden from a border general like Wang Chuan Ning, but it certainly can't be hidden from the people of Ying State. What should we do?!"

Wen Qingyu smiled and said, "What I want is to be recognized."

Yuan Shitong was shocked and confused.

Xue Tianxing seemed to understand something, but he had not seen the whole picture.

But just this little bit was enough to frighten him. He looked at Wen Qingyu with some surprise and instinctive vigilance. The gentle and amiable gentleman smiled.

Affable, sincere and reliable.

The great warrior subconsciously took a step back.

Wang Chuan Ning sent this matter over at full speed. When Jiang Yuanxian saw the imperial decree, he was overjoyed. He even put aside the matter of Qin Yulong and laughed up to the sky: "Hahahaha, Li Guanyi, Li Guanyi!"

"How despicable you are! Your grandfather was just a mud-legged peasant who made a living in the mud. How could you fight me? Now your father's men no longer recognize you. What a relief! What a relief!"

Jiang Gao felt that something was wrong and reported it to the higher authorities, but his report was rejected.

Therefore, Wang Chuan Ning was promoted to a higher position and was ordered to delay his return. Messengers were also sent to inform the world about this matter. As a result, people in Ying were discussing this matter everywhere and the people were extremely curious.

Finally, Jiang Yuan even set up the [Treasure Offering Ceremony]

Common people, wealthy families, and people from the martial arts world can all go and watch it.

It can be seen how much the new Emperor Ying values ​​the Emperor Qin. On the day of the treasure-presenting ceremony, everyone came. Wang Chuan Ning personally held the pearl up and said loudly that the real treasure belongs to those with virtue.

Jiang Yuan was very proud. He opened the box and displayed the pearl.

There are twenty-four of them, all of the same size, and they have been tightly sealed there, never seeing the sunlight outside. Wang Chuan Ning values ​​this thing more than his own life and makes sure it is foolproof.

Are those twenty-four beads?
That was his own wealth and glory. For Jiang Yuan, it was even more of a victory over Li Guanyi. He controlled the world and didn't care about the so-called twenty-four pearls at all. He only cared about the feeling of stepping on Li Guanyi's face.

Everyone looked eagerly. Under the sunlight, the twenty-four pearls shone brilliantly.

It is indeed a good baby.

Wang Chuan Ning knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Everyone in the world knows that the treasures in the world belong to those with virtue. This treasure was given to the King of Qin..."

Before the voice had died down, the noisy sounds around suddenly stopped.

Wang Chuan Ning was stunned and suddenly felt a chill.

Such coldness even carried with it a kind of icy murderous intent. Wang Chuan Ning raised his head stiffly and saw that the twenty bright beads dimmed visibly after the sealed box was opened.

There was a crisp breaking sound in the air.

The bead shattered visibly to the naked eye, and then slowly dissipated.

Silence fell.

There was no need for anyone to say anything. The changes at this moment had already shown that these twenty-four beads were absolutely fakes. And at this time, Wang Chuan Ning was talking about "Youde Juzhi", and there was inexplicably a hint of irony in his words.

Jiang Yuan's expression darkened, but he was still able to hold on.

After returning, he laughed at himself and said, "The Taiping Army is really cunning."

"I suffered another loss."

Wang Chuan Ning was ashamed and did not receive any reward. Although His Majesty did not punish him severely, Wang Chuan Ning still felt frightened for some reason. He rushed back at a faster speed than when he came, wanting to kill Li Xingyi.

Rushing into the place, he roared in anger:
"Li Xingyi, you are so brave!"

"How dare you tease this general and His Majesty!"

Li Xingyi enjoyed himself here for a while and felt that he had finally escaped from the Taiping Army. Although the road was difficult before, he was also very clear that his identity as the son of the Duke of Taiping was really valuable.

As long as you kowtow and show respect, and speak of the Taiping Army, the Duke of Taiping, and the ungrateful Qin Emperor Li Guanyi, you can gain wealth and glory. As long as you slander the Duke of Taiping and the Taiping Army, you will be safe.

You can please the Emperor of Ying.

Just when he thought he had a chance to survive, he heard such a roar. He looked up in surprise, only to see the general's eyes turned red and he grabbed a knife and chopped it down with a sharp blade. Li Xingyi was frightened and subconsciously wanted to stop him.

But how to stop it!
He was killed by the sword, blood was all over the ground. Wang Chuan Ning had never thought that this man was so weak, and he felt a little regretful. He asked, "Where is that honest-looking scholar?!"

When I went to look for it, the place was empty, which made me very regretful.

"hateful!"

"I actually fell into this person's trap!"

Wen Qingyu rode his horse outside the Northern Territory, Yuan Shitong and Xue Tianxing followed on both sides. Yuan Shitong still felt a little sad about Li Xingyi's death. Wen Qingyu smiled and said, "Why are you two sighing?"

"Now the whole world knows that it was this Li Xingyi who played tricks on the Emperor of Ying State and advocated for the Taiping Army. He was brave and heroic, but he died at the hands of Wang Chuan Ning. He was considered a brave and heroic man."

"Having such a reputation after death is a way of repaying the kindness of the Taiping Army over the years."

Yuan Shitong just sighed and said, "That's true."

Xue Tianxing was a little frightened.

He completed his plan with ease, using Jiang Yuan to promote the Taiping Army and also using Jiang Yuan to kill Li Xingyi, thus not tarnishing the reputation of the Qin Emperor and saving the Qin Emperor.

Xue Tianxing, Yuan Shitong's reputation, and the reputation of this Taiping Army were also preserved.

The most important thing is not to dirty your hands and to protect yourself thoroughly.

When they were camping on the way, Wen Qingyu burned all the files recording Li Xingyi's deeds in front of Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong, saying, "The reputations of the two generals should not be damaged because of this person, so that future generations will not say that the two generals raised such a person."

"Li Xingyi is a good person."

"He had a righteous cause, and died under Jiang Yuan's sword for the sake of righteousness."

Xue Tianxing and Yuan Shitong figured out the key and were both impressed.

Xue Tianxing felt that he was the best in the world in terms of how he could accomplish this.

But what happened next made Xue Tianxing completely at a loss. He was even more frightened and afraid of this young scholar, as if he were a god. However, because of the treasure presentation ceremony of Emperor Yingguo, this matter was known to the world, and people could not help but laugh at him.

Jiang Yuan was quite nonchalant, saying that he had misjudged the situation, fallen into a trap, and was laughed at by the whole world.

Wen Qingyu's words about Changfeng Tower spread throughout the world.

[The emperor who picked up the fake throne that no one else wanted deserves only fake goods]

It was just a casual remark, but it seemed to have directly pierced Jiang Yuan's reverse scale. Jiang Yuan, who could laugh at himself in front of the world before, was immediately furious. He smashed countless treasures and said angrily:

"How dare two famous generals ranked in the 40s and 50s and tens of thousands of troops bully me like this! The little barbarians in the northern border insult the emperor. Even if we move mountains and seas, we still hope to win, let alone these barbarians!"

Emperor Ying was furious.

He ignored the confrontation in the northern frontier, the attempt by Grand Tutor Jiang Su to stop the Emperor Qin, and the canal that was still being built.

To command the troops of the world——

Go north to fight against them!
