The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is there really not much?"

The Granthams looked at each other, then nodded in unison as if they had agreed.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We strictly abide by the private army system you once customized and never recruit more than a thousand soldiers!"

"Yeah!"

"It's true, we definitely didn't!"

Qin Yun's eyes became colder and colder, and the four people in front of him suddenly shuddered and shook with fear.

"I just said that those who pretend to obey but actually disobey will never be forgiven. Now you are talking nonsense in front of me. Don't you want to live?" Qin Yun opened his eyes angrily, and his awe-inspiring divine power seemed like a real dragon descending, crushing towards Gransom and the other three with astonishing pressure.

Grantham was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "We don't dare to do it again, Your Majesty, please spare our lives!"

Qin Yun said coldly: "Tell me, how many private soldiers do you have? This is your last chance!"

Grantham and the others looked at each other and told each other their stories without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I have 60,000 elite private soldiers at my disposal."

"Your Majesty, I have 65,000 elite private soldiers at my disposal."

"I am not as good as them. I only have 50,000 elite private soldiers."

"I have about 70,000 private soldiers..."

After hearing what these four people said, Qin Yun raised his eyebrows with a somewhat cold expression, "You still say that you don't secretly raise private soldiers? With the number of 50,000 or 60,000 private soldiers, the power in your hands is no less than that of the local army!"

Maintaining a private army is naturally very expensive. Even if you maintain an army of 10,000 people, the money and food required every day will be at least tens of thousands.

However, among these four people, the one with the least private soldiers has 50,000 private soldiers, and they are all very elite private soldiers, which requires even more money and food.

These guys are able to support so many private soldiers. It seems that they must have embezzled a lot of money over the years. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to support so many private soldiers.

Moreover, these guys are very good at pretending to obey orders but actually disobeying them. Qin Yun has already issued a clear order prohibiting nobles and ministers of all levels from keeping excessive private soldiers, but these guys have ended up secretly keeping tens of thousands of private soldiers.

"As for the matter of secretly raising an excessive number of private soldiers, I will settle the matter with you after this war is over!"

Qin Yun glared at Grantham and the other three and said, "You four, gather all your private soldiers here immediately. If you dare to be negligent, I will kill you immediately!"

The private soldiers under the four men of Grantham total a total of 245,000 troops, which is a very strong support force. If they are summoned, it will be much easier to defeat Bachmann.

Even if we cannot defeat Bachman, we can still delay the arrival of reinforcements from the Western Regions.

Grantham and the others nodded frantically on the ground.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will write a letter and mobilize all my private soldiers."

"Me too, I dare not hide anything from your majesty!"

"I am willing to dedicate all my private soldiers to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is wise. I am willing to follow you till death!"

The four people expressed their loyalty one after another and expressed their willingness to dedicate their last trump cards to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun was finally somewhat satisfied with the performance of these four people. He snorted coldly, "It's a good thing that you four know what's good for you. Otherwise, there would be four more cold corpses in this camp today."

Grantham and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they realized their mistake in time. Otherwise, with Qin Yun's temper and means, he would really kill them, and then those private soldiers would still belong to Qin Yun.

"Go away, I'm too lazy to talk to you." Qin Yun felt that these people were very boring and waved his hand to tell them to go away.

Gransom and his four companions fled from Qin Yun's camp at the speed of a flash, as if they had been pardoned.

Qin Yun looked at them running away in panic and found it more interesting than before.

Hodaka Mai said softly, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave as well."

Qin Yun smiled wickedly and grabbed Hodaka Mai's soft and boneless jade hand, "Mai, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Didn't you stay with me until so late yesterday?! What time is it today?"

Speaking of what happened yesterday, Hodaka Mai's face suddenly turned red with shame. She broke away from Qin Yun's hand and said with a red face: "Your Majesty, don't talk about what happened yesterday anymore. It was obviously you... Anyway, don't mention what happened yesterday anymore!!"

Qin Yun felt that steam was about to come out of Mai Hodaka's blushing head, and he couldn't help but smile wickedly.

"It's okay if you don't mention it."

Qin Yun smiled and said, "But I have never worked for someone for free. If you want me not to mention this matter, shouldn't you give me some hush money or something?"

Hodaka Mai pouted angrily and said, "Your Majesty was the one who broke into my bathing place without permission, why is he asking me for hush money? Your Majesty is too shameless, isn't he?!"

Qin Yun shook his head and smiled, "No way? Is your name written on the lake next to the military camp?"

"No, right? Since your name isn't on it, how can you say it's your place? Can't others come?! Mai-chan, you're so bossy!"

"His Majesty!"

Mai Hodaka was so angry that she couldn't help stamping her feet, and the fullness of her breasts swayed, making people dizzy.

"You are trying to change the subject. You knew I was bathing in the lake, yet you jumped in. This is not... this is not..."

"This is nothing?" Qin Yun said with a smile, "Why don't you say anything?"

Hodaka Mai pouted and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. Bye."

After that, she turned around and left.

Qin Yun watched as Hodaka Mai turned around and was about to leave, but he leaned back in his chair and smiled leisurely, "Oh, yesterday I was going to take a bath in the lake next to the military camp, but under the hazy moonlight, I saw a beautiful girl swimming in the lake. I walked over and saw that this beautiful girl..."

"Don't say it!"

Hodaka Mai walked back angrily, her fists clenched tightly, as if she wanted to punch Qin Yun in the face the next moment.

Qin Yun said with a smile, "If you don't want me to tell anyone, you can give me some hush money."

Hodaka Mai was so angry that her body was shaking, and her big watery eyes stared at Qin Yun. Finally, like a deflated ball, she compromised and said, "How much hush money do you want? It's too expensive, I can't afford it."

“Not expensive!”

Qin Yun sat up straight, pointed at his face and said with a smile, "Give me a kiss here, and that'll be your hush money."

"you!"

Hodaka Mai glared at Qin Yun angrily.

Qin Yun was about to shout, but Mai Hodaka quickly covered his mouth.

"What a bad guy!"

Hodaka Mai gritted her teeth, then kissed Qin Yun on the face as lightly as a dragonfly touching the water, and then left quickly with a red face.
