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

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's face immediately showed displeasure, and he said inconspicuously: "You know what I hate most is people bargaining with me."

Zhao Chenchen's face was gloomy. He didn't expect Ye Feng in front of him to be so domineering. But he was not an easy person to deal with. His purpose of coming to Luofu City this time was not so simple.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I am not bargaining with you. I want to help you overthrow my father's arbitrary and tyrannical rule. From now on, whether it is Nanyu County or Wanping City, they are all the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. Your Majesty can mobilize them at any time."

"I am not the only one in Wanping City. If I died for the emperor, I would die for the Song Dynasty. It would be great to be known as a loyal and righteous man."

"But by that time, the tens of thousands of soldiers in Wanping City, as well as those who are loyal and devoted to me, will inevitably be confiscated and exterminated by my father. They are all innocent."

Zhao Chenchen's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his meaning was very clear. On the one hand, he expressed his loyalty to the Song Dynasty and him to Ye Feng, and on the other hand, he told Ye Feng that he had tens of thousands of troops in his Wanping City.

If Ye Feng wants to get rid of King Nanyu, his tens of thousands of troops will definitely play a big role.

"I know what you are thinking. Now you can go back to Wanping City and inherit your title of Earl of Wanping. If the King of Nanyu attacks you, I can lead the army from Luofu City all the way to Nanyu City. Your father will not be so stupid as to fight with you and suffer losses together."

"Even if he wants to deal with you, he will wait until I leave and make sure his throne is safe before he settles the accounts with you afterwards."

Ye Feng analyzed to Zhao Chenchen, and said: "Besides, since you are leading troops to fight, you should understand that the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and I cannot give you an exact time now. But you can rest assured that during this inspection of the Great Song Dynasty, your father, as the King of Nanyu, dared to violate the Enfeoffment Order and disobey the king's order. He attempted to hold his own troops, so I must rectify the entire Nanyu County."

"But……"

Zhao Chenchen wanted to negotiate with Ye Feng, but Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "As for the other things, we will discuss them after I deal with Nanyu County."

"The only thing you can do now is to return to Wanping City and announce your succession to the title of Earl of Wanping. If my prediction is correct, as you respond to the canonization order, your brothers will also be unable to sit still and will jump out one after another."

"Eunuch Wei, please show the guest away!"

After Ye Feng finished speaking, he turned to Wei Xian who was standing next to him.

"Eighth Master, please!"

When Wei Xian heard Ye Feng's order, he walked forward and made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Chenchen, who was still reluctant to leave.

Zhao Chenchen's face looked a little ugly. He originally wanted to come and bargain with Ye Feng as the lord of Wanping City to gain the greatest benefits.

Now he realized that since he met Ye Feng, he had never been given any chance to negotiate. He was led by Ye Feng from beginning to end.

"Zhao Chenchen, I almost forgot to remind you that when you return to Wanping City, you'd better announce your compliance with the canonization order as soon as possible and inherit the title of Wanping Earl. Otherwise, your father's spies are everywhere. If he knows that you secretly came to see me, you will be in great trouble, and I will be powerless to do anything by then."

Ye Feng sat there with a calm expression. He used words to directly criticize Zhao Chenchen, and his meaning was very clear. If Zhao Chenchen did not obey the canonization order and inherit the title of Wanpingbo, it was unknown whether Zhao Pengju, the King of Nanyu, would know that he came to pay homage to the King of Zhenguo today.

There was resentment in the depths of Zhao Chenchen's eyes. He thought to himself that he was also a cunning and treacherous person, but now that he met Ye Feng, he realized that he was just a small fry compared to a big one.

He is now in a difficult situation. If he goes back to Wanping City and does not announce his compliance with the enthronement order and inherit the title of Earl of Wanping, Ye Feng might send someone to tell Zhao Pengju that he has come down privately to meet him.

Based on his understanding of Zhao Pengju, if he knew the news, he would immediately issue a royal decree to remove him from his position as the lord of Wanping City, and might even lead troops to attack Wanping City directly.

"Zhao is leaving!"

Zhao Chenchen followed Wei Xian to the door. He turned around and bowed to Ye Feng, then left the reception room. He quickly took out a gold ingot from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of Wei Xian next to him.

"what!"

Wei Xian was frightened by Zhao Chenchen's action. If Ye Feng knew that he had taken Zhao Chenchen's gold for no reason, he would end up in a miserable state. He immediately stuffed the gold to Zhao Chenchen, his face full of anger: "Eighth Young Master is trying to kill us, take it back quickly, if anyone sees, we will be in trouble."

Zhao Chenchen looked at the gold in his hand that he could not give away, and his face became a little strange. He had heard King Nanyu tell him since he was a child that the eunuchs in the palace were very greedy and lustful because they had no roots. They often played hedging games with the palace maids when they had nothing to do.

How come this old eunuch next to me doesn’t like gold?

"Eunuch Wei, please don't say that. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please say a few good words for me in front of the king."

Zhao Chenchen was about to hand over the gold, but Wei Xian spoke up and advised, "I appreciate the Eighth Young Master's kindness. I'm giving you a piece of advice. Go back to Wanping City immediately and follow the instructions of the Lord of the State to inherit the title of the Earl of Wanping. Otherwise... you may not be able to bear the consequences."

"Thank you for your advice, father-in-law!"

Zhao Chenchen put the gold away, with some admiration in his heart. He came to Ye Feng's courtyard one after another. He had given gold to the guard who passed the message before, but the guard had flatly refused. Now he gave it to Wei Xian, but he was also rejected. It was indeed a bit unbelievable for him.

……

"Young Master Ye, when Zhao Chenchen returns to Wanping City, will he really announce that he will abide by the enthronement order and inherit the title of Earl of Wanping?" When Lady Xinling saw Zhao Chenchen leaving, she stood up and asked.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhao Chenchen came to Ye Feng just to bargain, and was obviously not very satisfied with the fact that the decree only conferred him the title of Earl.

However, in the conversation just now, Ye Feng did not give the other party any chance to express himself. Now that Zhao Chenchen has not met expectations, will he be the first to stand up and oppose Zhao Pengju?

"Madam, how about we make a bet?" Ye Feng's eyes swept over Madam Xinling, looking her up and down, with a wicked smile on his face: "If Zhao Chenchen returns to Wanping City and immediately announces that he will obey the canonization order and canonize himself as the Earl of Wanping, Madam will agree to my request last night, how about it?"

When Madam Xinling thought of Ye Feng's embarrassing request last night, her cheeks suddenly turned red. She felt so ashamed that she didn't know where Ye Feng got those strange things from. She felt they looked weird, but she couldn't help wanting to try them.

"Humph! Let's gamble. What if he doesn't obey the order to confer the title?"

Madam Xinling straightened her plump chest, her face still flushed. She didn't dare to look at Ye Feng at all. She was a little nervous when she thought that if she lost the bet, she would be treated in such an embarrassing way by Ye Feng.

"If he doesn't obey the canonization order, I will bathe with my wife, how about that?"

Ye Feng had a malicious look on his face.

"Young Master is getting worse and worse."

Mrs. Xinling's face was full of charm. She was truly beautiful and charming, and her demeanor had its own charm.

"Report, Your Excellency, there is a man outside who claims to be the sixteenth son of the King of Nanyu and the Lord of Yun'an City, Zhao Hui, who wants to see you."

Just as Ye Feng and Madam Xinling were joking, the voice of the guard was heard again outside the reception room.

"Look, here comes another one." Ye Feng looked at Madam Xinling and smiled, as if everything was under his control. "Bring him to the living room."

"As ordered!"

The guard turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

After a while, a tall and thin young man appeared. He looked to be about ten years younger than Zhao Chenchen.

He was Zhao Hui, who had traveled all the way from Yun'an City to Luofu City to see Ye Feng. When he arrived at the reception room, he bowed to Ye Feng.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He claimed to be a young and promising man in Nanyu County. But compared with Ye Feng in front of him, he was really far behind. The other party was probably only in his early twenties.

"The sixteenth son of the King of Nanyu, the current Lord of Yun'an City, Zhao Hui, pays homage to the Lord of the State."

Zhao Hui was neither humble nor arrogant. He stood in the reception room, his voice resounding.

"Oh! You came to see me, what's the matter?"

Ye Feng knew it well, but he still asked despite knowing the answer.

The Zhao Hui in front of him must be here to negotiate terms just like Zhao Chenchen.

He thought to himself that it seemed that all of Zhao Pengju's sons were rebellious.

But it seems normal when you think about it. Nanyu County is vast, occupying nine cities and five counties, all of which are prosperous places. Whoever can become the new King of Nanyu will have supreme power, so naturally, people with ability and talent will be tempted.

"Your Majesty, I was exiled to Yun'an City by my father when I was sixteen. Yun'an City is the most remote place in Nanyu County. The people are poor and destitute, and there are starving people everywhere."

"Since I went to Yun'an City, I have been managing the entire Yun'an City in an orderly manner for a full nineteen years and eight months. It was at this time that the King of Zhenguo wisely issued the Enfeoffment Order and conferred us the title."

"How could I have known that my father was pretending to obey but secretly disobeying the order. On the surface, he accepted the order of enfeoffment, but secretly tried every means to suppress us. He gave me an order, asking me to hand over all the 50,000 troops in Yun'an City within seven days. He also wanted to deprive me of my status as the Lord of Yun'an City. Please, Lord Zhenguo, make the decision for me."

Zhao Hui did not hide anything and stated his purpose directly.

"Oh! King Nanyu actually dared to disobey the order of His Majesty. Is he planning to rebel?"

Ye Feng scolded immediately.

"What Zhenguojun said is correct. My father wanted to rebel. If Zhenguojun had not killed King Ye two months ago, my father and King Dongxuan would have conspired to rebel."

"At that time, we all received orders from our father to reorganize the army and be on standby at any time. As long as he gives the order, we will march all the way south and capture Jinling City."

Zhao Hui said with indignation.

"I have heard that the King of Nanyu has the intention of rebellion, but I still don't quite believe it. Now I hear you say it, I am really distressed." Ye Feng said, looking distressed. "But the King of Nanyu has a large army, and I only have tens of thousands of troops now, so I can't compete with him and can't make a decision for you!"

Zhao Hui saw Ye Feng's expression and understood that Ye Feng was just waiting for him to speak first. He thought, "This guy looks young, but he is really cunning."

"As long as the King Zhenguo leads his troops to attack Nanyu County, I am willing to cooperate with you from inside and outside. At that time, I will lead the 50,000 troops of Yun'an City and march all the way south. We will attack from both sides, and my father will be unable to take care of both ends, and will inevitably be defeated." Zhao Huilian had planned for Ye Feng how to attack Nanyu County.

"Haha... I've heard that the sixteenth son of the King of Nanyu is quite strategic. But how can I believe that you are not sent by your father to trick me into sending troops to Nanyu County and lure the enemy deep into our territory?"

Ye Feng laughed. He could naturally see that the Zhao Hui in front of him could not have been sent by Zhao Pengju. He just wanted Zhao Hui to take the initiative to propose it.

"As long as the Lord of Zhenguo agrees to confer the title of King of Yun'an upon me after my father is defeated, I will only be granted Yun'an City as my fief. I will immediately return to Yun'an City and declare that I will obey the order of conferring the title and defeat the rebels for Your Majesty."

Zhao Hui's voice was firm, obviously more ruthless and decisive than Zhao Chenchen's before. This was to directly accuse his father, Zhao Pengju, of treason and put his father to death.

"Yes!"

Ye Feng agreed without any hesitation.

When Zhao Hui heard Ye Feng agree so readily, he was a little stunned.

I always feel like something is wrong with you, but I can't put my finger on it.

"Your Excellency is a man of few words. I will take my leave now. Please wait for good news from you!"

Zhao Hui did not hesitate and turned around and walked out of the reception room.

Madam Xinling widened her eyes and asked in surprise, "Master Ye, why did you agree to Zhao Hui's request? If that happens, King Nanyu will be destroyed and another King Yun'an will appear. In my opinion, this Zhao Hui is dozens of times more ruthless than his father."

"As long as we get rid of King Nanyu, what does it matter if we make him the King of Yun'an? As long as we find a way to take away the military power in his hands, he won't be able to cause any trouble even if he is in charge of Yun'an City."

Madam Xinling was full of admiration, her face was full of smiles, "Have you changed your appearance? Your methods are really not like those of a young man in his early twenties."

Ye Feng didn't expect to be called a little man by Madam Xinling, and teased: "Madam has been with me for such a long time, don't you know whether I am little or not?"

Mrs. Xinling blushed immediately, and the image of that big thing appeared in her mind. It was not only not small, but really very big, and her mouth couldn't even fit it.

It was not until the evening that the guards came with a middle-aged man in armor. He had a sword on his waist and a spear in his hand. He looked very imposing. It was Zhao Mu from Huaishang City.

"Zhao Mu, the defender of Huaishang City, pays homage to the Lord of the State."

Zhao Mu came to within three meters of Ye Feng, his face full of admiration. He finally saw Ye Feng.

"I wonder why General Zhao came to see me?"

Ye Feng frowned slightly.

The Zhao Mu in front of him was obviously also the son of Zhao Pengju, but he was completely different from Zhao Chenchen and Zhao Hui before, and was dressed like a general.

"I am willing to follow the Lord of the State, galloping on the battlefield, killing enemies and making achievements. Just as you said: 'Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield, how many people have ever returned from the battles in history'. I don't want to stay in Nanyu County and be involved in intrigues, please help me, Lord of the State!"

After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he knelt on his knees with a pious look on his face.

During this period of time, he heard about Ye Feng's achievements in the Eighteen Cities of Yanyun, such as the destruction of King Ye and the annihilation of Nanyue Temple. He just wanted to go to the battlefield and make contributions to the country.

"Oh! Aren't you here to claim the throne?"

Ye Feng was a little surprised, looked at Zhao Mu and asked.

"Your Excellency, I am not interested in the throne. I just want to be a general and lead the army to war."

A smile appeared on Zhao Mu's face, making him look particularly honest.

Ye Feng walked forward, stretched out his hands to help Zhao Mu, who was kneeling on the ground, up quickly, "I didn't expect that King Nanyu has a son like you. It's a blessing for him."

Thinking about the Zhao Chenchen and Zhao Hui before, both of whom came to kill his father and obtain the throne, the Zhao Mu in front of him is completely different from them, which is really rare and precious.
