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

"Ah! I... am unwilling..."

Zhao Du fell heavily to the ground, blood gushing out of his mouth. His whole body was shaking, with hatred deep in his eyes.

It was with great difficulty that he made repeated military achievements when he was young, and was appreciated by Emperor Xuan of Song, who granted him the title of King of Pingxi and awarded Pingxi County as his fief.

Over the years, although he did not obey Zhao Qiuyan's orders and kept his own troops, he did his best to train soldiers and guard the border with the Western Shu Dynasty. He also clashed with the Western Shu Dynasty's army many times and never let the Western Shu Dynasty set foot into the territory of Pingxi County. Even if he has no merit, he should be credited for his hard work.

"If you had not surrendered to the Three Elements Sect, you would still have a chance of survival. It's a pity that your second son, who was so gifted, was buried with you!"

Ye Feng came to a place not far from Zhao Du, his eyes flickering slightly. Zhao Yuan was indeed very talented, but it was a pity that he followed Zhao Du and chose to become a follower of the Sanyuan Divine Religion.

"what!"

Zhao Du was stimulated by Ye Feng's words. He recalled in his mind that for all these years, he had been using the two brothers Zhao Fei and Zhao Yuan to fight against each other for his throne.

Thinking of this, he felt guilty. Zhao Yuan had been too smart since he was young. He was afraid that the other party would have ulterior motives to seize the throne, so he had been using Zhao Fei to guard against him.

However, he ignored the talents and abilities displayed by Zhao Yuan. If he had listened to Zhao Yuan's advice earlier, neither he, Zhao Yuan, nor Wang Lang and others would have been killed in vain.

puff!

The whole person was so stimulated that he became furious, blood spurted out, his eyes widened, and he died instantly.

Li Shanxiao led the black-armored cavalry and showed no mercy as he charged towards the people around Zhao Du. The sound of horse hooves rang out, and those people were filled with bloody murderous aura. They had all become followers of the Sanyuan Divine Religion.

"May I say a word to the Lord?"

Zhao Yuan looked at the hook-and-sickle spear that Li Shanxiao stabbed out, his face pale and he looked ready to die.

"Master, Zhao Yuan wants to talk to you."

Li Shanxiao ordered a black-armored cavalryman to come and report to Ye Feng.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng thought that a dying man's words are good. He also wanted to see if Zhao Yuan had anything to say before he died. He nodded, turned around and followed the black-armored cavalry towards Zhao Yuan.

"Do you have any last words?"

Ye Feng came not far from Zhao Yuan. Seeing the frail body of Zhao Yuan, forcing him to practice the Three Yuan Divine Art was simply courting death. The meridians in his body could not bear it at all. Even if he was not killed today, he would probably die soon.

"Before I die, I want to recommend someone to you. This person once saved my life. He is a natural martial arts genius and a talented general. I originally thought that when I can serve the Song Dynasty in the future, I will recommend him to His Majesty the Emperor. Now it seems that I won't be able to wait for that day."

"On the border between Pingxi County and the Western Shu Dynasty, there is a county called Hua County. At the very edge of Hua County, there is a hunter family. You will know when you go there."

After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, without waiting for Li Shanxiao to make a move, he took the sword from his waist and stabbed himself in the chest with it, choosing to commit suicide.

"Bring Zhao Fei here."

Ye Feng looked at the soldiers around him and gave orders.

Not long after, Zhao Fei came to Ye Feng and saw Zhao Yuan lying in a pool of blood. He felt secretly fortunate in his heart that he chose to surrender in advance, otherwise his fate would be similar to Zhao Yuan's.

"Is there a place called Hua County at the border between Pingxi County and the Western Shu Dynasty?"

Ye Feng wanted to confirm whether what Zhao Yuan said was true or false.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed a Hua County, but it borders the Western Shu Dynasty, and small-scale conflicts occur there from time to time. There are very few people living there. When my father was in power, he rarely cared about it. I wonder why Your Majesty suddenly asked about it?" Zhao Fei nodded, not daring to hide it, and answered.

"Yes! I know!"

Ye Feng nodded. It seemed that Zhao Yuan did not deceive him. After Pingxi City was rectified, he could take a few people to Hua County.

The sun sets!

Ye Feng looked at the 100,000-strong army in front of him, with a light deep in his eyes.

Zhao Du has been guarding Pingxi County for these years, but he has not been doing nothing. The many soldiers in front of him are well-trained and have strong combat effectiveness.

If Zhao Fei had not taken him through a shortcut and rushed into Pingxi City, and if Zhao Du had not really come to the city gate and led the soldiers in a desperate fight, they would probably have been able to hold out for quite some time.

"I know that you are all men who stand tall and proud. You joined the army to defend your country and make achievements, not to follow Zhao Du in rebellion and fight against the court. If you are willing to continue to stay in the army and defend the borders for the Song Dynasty, then stay in the army. If you want to leave the army, you can hand in your armor and weapons now, go to the quartermaster to collect twenty taels of silver, and return to where you came from."

Ye Feng stood in front of the 100,000-strong army, his eyes shining and his voice resounding through the sky.

Many soldiers had emotions in their eyes.

They had long heard that Ye Feng treated his soldiers very well, and now they saw that it was indeed true.

If it were someone else, how could they be given the right to choose? The most important thing is that they can receive twenty taels of silver as travel expenses for free, which can be said to be the utmost kindness.

"Your Majesty, I chose to join the army to guard the border. If I go back now, my 70-year-old mother will beat me to death with her cane. She will definitely say that I am a coward for deserting!" A thousand-man captain held a spear in his hand, his voice firm and his face determined.

"Ha ha……"

The soldiers behind the centurion all burst into laughter.

Seeing that no one chose to leave, Ye Feng's expression became serious: "Since you choose to stay, I have to make it clear that anyone who dares to desert the battlefield will be killed without mercy!"

"Of course, if anyone kills the enemy bravely on the battlefield, then naturally there will be people who follow the army to register, and they will be promoted and rewarded and punished clearly!"

Ye Feng's short words re-energized the morale of the army in front of him. Many people had admiration in their eyes. This state-guarding monarch was truly omnipotent.

……

Dongxuan Palace.

Zhao Yunfei sat on a throne covered with tiger skin, looking majestic without even getting angry. He listened to the report from the spy standing in the middle of the hall with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The generals and counselors on both sides of the hall could not help but gasp. They all thought that Ye Feng was still in the Qingyuan Dynasty, but they did not expect that the other party had destroyed the King of Pingxi without anyone noticing.

"This state guardian is truly incredible!"

Zhao Yunfei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Even he hadn't expected that Ye Feng would move so quickly. He might have already started deploying troops before leaving Jiayun Pass. Even he could only sigh that he was inferior to such a good strategist.
