The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Dongxuan Palace.

Zhao Yunfei leaned on the tiger skin, gently stroking the soft fur with one hand, his eyes lowered, his face obviously solemn.

I thought Ye Feng defeated the 100,000-strong army led by Zhang Tai just because of luck.

However, news came one after another from the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun.

Ye Feng successively captured Dongyun City, defeated the 60,000 elite troops of the Wei Dynasty led by Xin Daorong, and then defeated the 50,000 troops sent by the Jin Dynasty.

What shocked him the most was that it was rumored that Ye Feng actually controlled a powerful cavalry unit, which was said to be invincible and unstoppable.

Thinking of this, he couldn't feel happy.

Originally, when Ye Feng came to the Song Dynasty, even in Jinling City, the continuous actions seemed to him to be trivial matters.

But now he discovered that Ye Feng was hiding very deeply and had gradually begun to exceed his expectations. If he did not plan ahead and allowed him to grow, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Meet the prince."

When Pang Yi received the summons from Zhao Yunfei, he rushed to the hall as quickly as possible and saw Zhao Tuo, General Chunyu Hao and others, all of whom were looking forward to seeing him.

"Military Advisor, Ye Feng has won victory after victory in the Eighteen Cities of Smoke and Cloud, and his influence is growing. How far have you executed the plan you arranged before?"

Zhao Yunfei looked calm. He had previously asked Pang Yi to send someone to provoke Zhao Xiong, wanting Zhao Xiong to be the first person to stand up against Ye Feng.

The many forces of the Song Dynasty today are like muskets ready to be fired. All they need is a spark to unleash them all and overwhelm the Song Dynasty.

"Your Highness, according to the information we received, Zhao Shun has been persuaded and is preparing to go to the Eighteen Cities of Smoke and Cloud to ask Ye Feng to seek justice for him and punish Zhao Xiong."

Pang Yi hurriedly reported. He was also very clear that what Ye Feng did in the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun had put enormous pressure on Zhao Yunfei and other princes.

They had been planning for decades and were about to succeed, but Zhao Qiuyan had unexpectedly found Ye Feng and seemed to be trying to bring the dead back to life.

"Will King Zhao Du of Pingxi and King Zhao Pengju of Nanyu reply to the letter?" Zhao Yunfei knew very well that it would be extremely difficult for him alone to raise an army to seize the throne of the Song Dynasty.

If we can convince the other two princes to join forces, the chances of success will be greatly increased, and we won't have to fight alone.

Pang Yi hesitated slightly, and he tried his best to send people to persuade the two princes. Only King Zhao Pengju of Nanyu had some intention to cooperate with Zhao Yunfei. As for King Zhao Du of Pingxi, he was not interested in the throne at all. He just wanted to command an army of 200,000 and control the Pingxi region, and he would be satisfied.

"Your Highness, the Prince of Nanyu, Zhao Pengju, does want to cooperate, but..." Pang Yi hesitated for a moment before continuing, "He proposed a condition that in order to seize the throne in the future, the Jinling River will be the boundary, with the north belonging to the prince and the south to Zhao Pengju, and they will rule along the river."

"Humph! This Zhao Pengju is really ungrateful. With only a hundred thousand soldiers under his command, he wants to be on equal footing with me. How ridiculous!"

Zhao Yunfei didn't expect that Zhao Pengju would take the opportunity to ask for a huge amount of money. He sneered and said with disdain.

"Your Highness, I don't think so." Pang Yi also immediately responded, "In my opinion, for now, we might as well agree to Zhao Pengju's request. As long as we help Your Highness ascend to a high position, and then find a way to get rid of Zhao Pengju, wouldn't the entire Song Dynasty belong to Your Highness?"

Zhao Yunfei naturally knew what Pang Yi meant, and wanted to use Zhao Pengju to seize the throne. Once the throne was in his hands, he would kill Zhao Pengju and then he could rest easy. No one would know what kind of alliance he had with Zhao Pengju.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Military Advisor, to take care of this. I want to write a letter to Zhao Changlin in person to test his attitude."

Zhao Yunfei immediately looked towards the direction of Jinling City.

If one wants to seize the throne, there is another person that the Song Dynasty cannot ignore, and that is Changlin Jun who guards Changlin County. This man controls 200,000 Changlin troops. It is rumored that the Changlin army is invincible, with strong and fierce combat effectiveness. Wherever they go, they can raze mountains to the ground.

Throughout the Song Dynasty, the Changlin Army was like a legend. Thirty years ago, they only showed up once and defeated the 300,000-strong army of the Jin Dynasty, winning a great victory.

Since then, Zhao Changlin not only stopped being arrogant and domineering, but became more low-key after obtaining the fiefdom. If it weren't for the fact that the Changlin Army still existed, many people would have almost forgotten that there was a man named Zhao Changlin who was one of the Four Gentlemen of Jinling in the Song Dynasty.

"Given Zhao Changlin's personality, he is unlikely to participate in the struggle for imperial power. He is very likely to stay out of the fight and guard Changlin County." Although Pang Yi didn't know much about Zhao Changlin, he felt that he lived a secluded life and didn't seem to have much desire for imperial power.

"If so, that would be best."

As Ye Feng captured Dongyun City and Tianyun City as well, his prestige in the Song Dynasty became increasingly stronger, and it would become increasingly difficult for him to take action again.

Zhao Yunfei also began to feel restless. If the incompetent Zhao Qiuyan continued to be the emperor, he could continue to wait and would not be so anxious.

Now the power under Ye Feng's control is getting stronger and stronger. With the other party's means of issuing the Enfeoffment Order, their strength will increase in the future, and I'm afraid they will be the first to be attacked.

Zhao Yunfei had already prepared the letter and ordered the spy to take the letter and quickly head towards Yunshui City in Changlin County.

……

Smoke city.

Ye Feng handed over the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun, Dongyun City and Tianyun City to Changsun Ji for management, and he himself became a hands-off manager, which was a rare and relaxed life.

"Your Excellency, Lord Zhenguo, I have ordered the craftsmen to make the drawings you gave me three days ago. Could you please go and take a look to see if they are up to standard?" Chang Sun Ji said with some excitement.

Just after arriving in Yancheng three days ago, Ye Feng personally drew a blueprint and handed it to him, ordering him to find someone to find a way to manufacture the crossbow shown on the blueprint.

Chang Sun Ji did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He immediately summoned all the skilled craftsmen in Yancheng and personally took charge of the task. Finally, he managed to produce the first batch.

"go!"

Ye Feng smiled when he heard this. Although Chang Sunji was just a scholar, he was very capable. In just three days, he managed Yancheng in an orderly manner.

Lady Xinling, Yan Nishang and others followed and came to an open place, where fires were burning and clanging sounds were heard everywhere.

Not far away, on a shelf more than three meters high, there were a number of strange-looking crossbows that could accommodate nine arrows at a time.

"Come here, draw your bows and shoot arrows for the Lord to examine."

Chang Sunji said to several soldiers not far away.

call out!call out!call out!

As the soldiers began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, the sound of breaking through the air was heard. Nine arrows were released in front of each soldier. The range was as high as 800 meters and the speed of the arrows was extremely fast.

Even Madam Xinling's eyes widened as she asked, "What kind of bow and arrow is this? How can it be so terrifying?"

"Madam Xinling, this is called the Nine Star Crossbow, and it was made according to the blueprint drawn by Master Ye." Chang Sunji was shocked, and his admiration for Ye Feng was beyond words. In his mind, Ye Feng was an omnipotent person, and he said, "According to my observation, if we can forge a more refined bow body and find the best rhinoceros tendons, the Nine Star Crossbow can be fired with thousands of arrows, which will be enough to threaten the Grandmaster."

"abnormal!"

Seeing that Ye Feng remained calm, Madam Xinling couldn't help but complain.

How many secrets are hidden in this guy's head?

This kind of weapon can be regarded as a powerful tool for defending the city.
