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

at dusk.

Ye Feng gathered Wei Xian, Madam Xinling, Su Hong and others together. With a faint smile on his face, he looked at everyone and asked, "Do you think we should go to Liyang County or Liuchang County? If we go through Liyang County, we will go north and reach the territory of Zhao Yunfei, the King of Dongxuan. If we go through Liuchang County, we will go south and we can choose to visit the King of Nanyu or change the route to go to Zhao Du, the King of Pingxi."

Su Hong spoke first, and said slowly: "I think we can choose to go all the way south. King Zhao Yunfei of Dongxuan is the most powerful. If we go to inspect rashly, it will be dangerous."

"Of course, I also have a little selfish motive. I have been away from the Su family for some time, so I want to invite the Lord of the State and you all to come to our Su family for a visit."

Wang Changhao sat there and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to go south. Both Pingxi King Zhao Du and Nanyu King Zhao Pengju are easier to deal with. They are not as powerful as Dongxuan King Zhao Yunfei, and they are also much easier to deal with."

Almost everyone suggested heading south, and Ye Feng did not refute or hesitate. He stood up and said, "General Li and Madam Xinling, organize the cavalry, and the rest of you pack your bags. We will set out for Liuchang County early tomorrow morning."

Then he looked at Su Hong and said, "You have traveled to the Song Dynasty before. How much do you know about Liuchang County? Please stay and tell me in detail."

"As ordered!"

Su Hong told Ye Feng the situation in Liuchang County in detail.

Ye Feng frowned as he listened.

"Liuchang County has one city and six counties under its jurisdiction. People in every place are very poor. What is the reason?" Ye Feng asked immediately after listening to Su Hong's description.

Su Hong rubbed his head awkwardly. At that time, he only wanted to follow his father Su Chen's wishes and quickly complete his tour of the entire Song Dynasty. He did not think about anything deeper. He could only reply: "Your Majesty, I was too young at that time and did not think about understanding it in depth."

Ye Feng did not blame Su Hong, but continued to ask: "Since the people of Liuchang County have such a hard life, have you heard any rumors about Yang Qingxiang?"

When Su Hong heard the name Yang Qingxiang, he immediately became interested. "When I traveled to Liuchang County, I went to Litian City and met Yang Qingxiang. This man was extremely simple in both clothing and food and lodging. In his county governor's mansion, there were no more than ten servants and maids. It is said that the officials in the entire county governor's mansion have not changed their official uniforms for three years. They are all rare and honest officials."

"Oh... the great official?"

Ye Feng frowned slightly, feeling that something was not quite right. Since Yang Qingxiang was an upright official, why did the people of Liuchang County have such a hard life?

If this happens only once a year, it could be a natural disaster that caused a poor harvest. But if it happens every year, then the problem is self-evident.

Ye Feng did not continue to ask Su Hong. He returned to his courtyard and looked at Wei Xian who was not far away: "Eunuch Wei, do you know anything about Yang Qingxiang, the governor of Liuchang County? He has been the governor of Liuchang County for almost 20 years, right?"

Wei Xian raised his voice and bowed, "Your Majesty, Yang Qingxiang has come to the palace a few times, and he always gives people the impression of being extremely simple and plain. You can say that he is pretending, but it is rare that he has been like this for so many years. But I feel that he is different from other county governors or high officials."

"He has no interest in promotion. The late emperor once wanted to transfer him to the imperial court to serve as the Minister of Revenue, but he directly refused."

After hearing Wei Xian's words, Ye Feng felt more and more that Yang Qingxiang was no simple person. It seemed that he really needed to take his men to Liuchang County to take a closer look.

……

Dongxuan Palace, meeting hall.

Late at night, the lights are bright.

Zhao Yunfei sat upright on a tiger-skin-wrapped armchair, exuding an aura of majesty without even getting angry. On his left and right sat more than a dozen people in armor and official uniforms.

The middle-aged man sitting in the front row on the left has extremely pale cheeks and looks sickly. He is Zhao Yunfei's first counselor, Pang Yi.

The armored general sitting at the front on the right is Chunyu Hao, the leader of the four generals under Zhao Yunfei. His favorite son Zhao Tuo is also among them.

"I have summoned you all here because I have something to discuss with you." Zhao Yunfei did not waste time and went straight to the point, saying, "Zhenguojun Ye Feng has already inspected Dongyou County. According to the information I sent people to find out, he has just been in Dongyou County for a few days and he has already wiped out the entire Xun family. Do you think he will choose to go to Liyang County on his back next? Or will he choose to go south to Liuchang County? Will he come to my fiefdom?"

"Your Majesty, I think it is unlikely that Ye Feng will come to your fiefdom. He is only accompanied by a few thousand cavalrymen. If he comes, he will be courting death."

Zhao Tuo spoke first.

"I think what the young prince said makes sense. Although this state guardian seems to be disorganized, he actually has a clear mind. The purpose of his tour of the country this time is to rectify the officials and forces in various counties. Coming to the prince's fiefdom will not do him any good."

The pale-faced scholar Pang Yi also echoed.

"Well! My inner thoughts are very clear. As long as Ye Feng dares to come to my territory, I will let him die here. Then I can raise troops to defend my country."

Zhao Yunfei's face was stern and he exuded a domineering aura as he spoke loudly.

"I and my soldiers can't wait any longer and want to set out immediately." Chun Yuhao said in a firm voice and with confidence on his face.

……

early morning.

Outside the residence of the county magistrate of Dahe City.

Xun Heng was followed by many newly appointed officials from Dongyou County. He looked at Ye Feng with a smile on his face and said, "My daughter Zhiwen has been spoiled since she was a child. From now on, let her follow the Lord of Zhenguo as a maid and learn from him. If she has offended you, please forgive me."

Ye Feng was helpless when he heard this. Looking at Xun Zhiwen who was packing several bags, he no longer bothered about her following him. Instead, he looked at Xun Heng and said, "Master Xun, don't forget what I have arranged for you. Changlin County is next to Dongyou County. When we attack Changlin County, I hope the soldiers you have trained can stand on their own."

"Don't worry, Lord Zhenguo. It will only take three years for Dongyou County to have a hundred thousand troops. They will fight for you to destroy Lord Changlin and lead the charge."

During this period of time, Xun Heng often asked Ye Feng for advice on how to govern Dongyou County. He also received some weapons manufacturing methods and mysterious seeds from Ye Feng, and was amazed by Ye Feng.

As long as Ye Feng's plan is carried out, the entire Dongyou County will surely prosper and become stronger and stronger within three years, truly realizing the goal of sharing wealth with the people.
