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

Cloud and water city.

Zhao Changlin followed Ye Feng, chatting and laughing, and was very graceful. From his speech and behavior, there was no sign of hostility towards Ye Feng.

The entire wall of Yunshui City is incomparably wide, with a heavy city gate inlaid with several gleaming iron chains. The entire city gate is about ten meters long.

There were dozens of guards standing on both sides, each guard wearing armor and holding a spear. They stood there straight, with extraordinary momentum.

As soon as Ye Feng followed Zhao Changlin into the city, he could sense dozens of auras hidden around the city gate. Those auras were extremely hidden, and it was obvious that their strength was not simple.

Even Ye Feng couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It seemed that Zhao Changlin was indeed difficult to deal with. If it weren't for his strong perception ability, he wouldn't be able to sense those hidden auras at all.

The most important thing is that the walls of Yunshui City are built extremely thick, and the ladders on both sides of the wall are neat and orderly, with two guards on duty every three to five steps.

On the city walls, rows of spearmen and crossbowmen were arranged in an orderly manner, and there were many huge stones and various city defense equipment.

Ye Feng was stunned. The Yunshui City in front of him had a city wall that was more than ten meters high. In addition, the defenders were lined up in an orderly manner on top of the city wall. It would not be easy to capture the city if a battle really broke out.

What's more, Zhao Changlin controls six cities in Changlin County, all of which are stationed with a lot of troops. Most importantly, Zhao Changlin has 300,000 Changlin troops in his hands, which have never appeared before. Ye Feng felt the strict military discipline in the three cities along the way. This person is probably much more difficult to deal with than Zhao Xiong and his ilk.

Hua Hua Hua...

"Huh? Isn't that Changlin Jun? Who is that young man? I feel like Changlin Jun seems to respect him very much?" Someone saw Zhao Changlin and Ye Feng walking side by side with a smile on Zhao Changlin's face, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You don't even know such a big thing. That young man is the current ruler of the Song Dynasty, and is now your majesty's favorite." The people next to him were immediately full of contempt. They told everything they knew so that they could appear superior and talk about it with relish.

"He is the king who defeated the Jin Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty, destroyed the King of Ye, and destroyed the Qingyue Temple? He looks too young, doesn't he?"

"The ancients once said that a man of great ambition does not need age to be old. I used to think that this state guardian was just a name he earned in vain, and that he was so powerful because he was the concubine of the Great Wei Emperor. Now it seems that the previous rumors were untrue."

The people of Yunshui City were talking and whispering when they saw the huge patrol team. They were all very curious about the state guardian Ye Feng, and they all wanted to see how this young man could destroy the King of Ye, recapture the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun, and eliminate Qingyue Temple in just a few months.

Ye Feng followed Zhao Changlin and came to the outside of a palace. It was simple and old, with two huge stone tiger statues placed on both sides of the palace.

"Your Majesty, please do not despise my old mansion. It is because our Changlin County is relatively poor, and I do not have the heart to increase the taxes on the people."

Zhao Changlin said with a bitter face. What he said was true. Over the years, even Jia Yu had proposed to renovate the mansion, but Zhao Changlin refused.

In his opinion, Yunshui City was where he was hiding now. The extra money and food could be used for military training. There was no need to waste resources by renovating the mansion.

"Haha... Lord Changlin is diligent and frugal, and loves the people. He has managed Changlin County in an orderly manner, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is truly a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty."

Ye Feng laughed, his eyes flickering slightly. Since this Lord Changlin wanted to be a loyal and patriotic minister, he should not only help him, but also continue to lift him up. The higher he was lifted, the greater the restraint, and the stronger the backlash. He looked at Su Hong and said, "Minister Su, pass on my order immediately."

"Since I have inspected Changlin County, I have found that Changlin Jun is diligent and frugal, loves the people, is loyal to the emperor and loves the country. He should be a role model for the Song Dynasty. I hereby confer the title of Changlin Zhongyong Jun. I will immediately send an order to the Ministry of Works to make a plaque with the words 'loyalty and bravery' and send it to Changlin Jun's mansion to be hung above the mansion for the world to worship!"

Ye Feng's cheerful voice rang out, but the atmosphere at the scene became a little solemn.

The smile on Zhao Changlin's face became noticeably stiffer.

Jia Yu and other counselors were secretly shocked.

They finally understood why Ye Feng, who had come to Jinling City for just a few months, had made Li Linpu, who had once controlled the government and had the power to cover the sky with one hand, disappear.

People who don't know the reason naturally think that the title of "Loyal and Brave Lord" bestowed upon Zhao Changlin by the King of Zhenguo is the highest honor and can bring honor to the family.

In fact, Ye Feng's plaque with the words "loyalty and bravery" is like a tight hoop on Zhao Changlin's head. If Zhao Changlin has any evil intentions in the future, he will be immediately criticized by the world. This is the point.

Another meaning is to protect Ye Feng himself. If Ye Feng encounters any danger or accident in Yunshui City, then Chang Linjun's title of "loyalty and bravery" will become a laughing stock and lose credibility in the world. Ye Feng is also protecting his own safety in disguise. It is really not simple for him to be so thoughtful and sophisticated at such a young age.

"Awesome! Really awesome!"

Jia Yu stood beside him with his skinny body, his eyes slightly narrowed. He couldn't help but look at Ye Feng with admiration. With his proud and arrogant character, at this moment, he completely put away his contempt.

Zhao Changlin was extremely angry, but at this moment he could only pretend to be happy. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhenguo. This is what I should do. I feel guilty. Please take back your order!"

"Lord Changlin, there is no need to be humble. Your achievements in governing Changlin County are obvious to all. Could it be that Lord Changlin has ulterior motives and wants to refuse the title of 'loyal and brave'?" Ye Feng suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Changlin with a smile. His voice changed from understatement at the beginning to heavy.

"Oh...Zhenguojun has said so much, it would be unreasonable for Zhao to not accept it." Zhao Changlin's heart was filled with cold murderous intent. Ye Feng in front of him seemed young, but in fact he was very scheming. How could he not see that Ye Feng was testing him? He said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Zhenguojun, for your kindness!"

"That's right!" Ye Feng still had a faint smile on his face, and said slowly: "I was just joking just now. Changlin Jun is loyal and faithful. I see it in my eyes. After the inspection of the country is completed, I will report to Your Majesty. By then, Changlin Jun will be promoted to a higher position and rank in no time!"

"Thank you, Lord Zhenguo, for your support. I'm sure the dishes and wines in the mansion have all been prepared. Let this be considered as Zhao's welcome to Lord Zhenguo." First, he was given the meaningless title of "loyal and brave", and then he was warned with words. He also realized that Ye Feng had come with bad intentions. Zhao Changlin suppressed his inner anger and smiled, making a gesture of invitation to Ye Feng.
