About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong, who were kneeling on the ground in a daze, heard the voices of other Jiedu envoys standing beside them bowing down and greeting: "Meet King An!"
Chen Yuanqing's heart was shocked, Wang An really appeared? Thinking so in his heart, he didn't hesitate in his actions, and quickly followed the crowd to make salute gestures.

"We're all old friends, everyone, get up."
Chen Yuanqing heard a thick and indifferent voice coming from the direction of the chief seat, he could no longer restrain the throbbing in his heart, and looked up involuntarily.
Who is the young man in the black robe sitting behind the chief seat if not King An and Li Ye
Whether it is appearance, manners, or manners, they are all very recognizable, and there is no second person in the world!
Chen Yuanqing was sweating profusely. When he got up, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to be out of etiquette.
He couldn't wait for Wang Rong to make eye contact, and both of them noticed the horror in each other's eyes. With just one look, the two of them made up their minds to kneel down and plead guilty to King An.
If you don't take the initiative to admit your mistakes, are you still waiting for King An to commit the crime
The former still has a glimmer of life, and maybe there will be less punishment, while the latter will inevitably suffer catastrophe, and his life may not be guaranteed!
However, before Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong could make a move, there was a crisp sound of "Plop" in their ears.
The two turned their heads to look, and were surprised to find that a Jiedu envoy had already knelt down on the ground.
Before the two of them could react, the other party had already cried to King An in tears: "The crime of humble duty deserves death, please punish the king of Anlu! The disrespect to General Pinglu before was not due to the lowly position with ulterior motives, but because there are villains in this town! After General Pinglu left, I have already severely punished them, please King An investigate! If King An is not satisfied, I will go and take their heads!"
Both Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong recognized this self-proclaimed lowly post, weeping bitterly and mourning his concubine, it was Zhou Mingrui, the military governor of the Loyalty Army! Earlier, the opponent was Zhu Wen's confidant, but later Zhu Wen fled from the Central Plains, and he surrendered to Li Ye.
Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong understood the content of Zhou Mingrui's words. After the news of King An's departure from the mortal world, they led their respective soldiers and horses back to this town first, while those military governors in the Central Plains It was the generals who were sent to important positions by King An who were expelled.
Obviously, Zhou Mingrui was repenting and pleading guilty for this incident.
"This guy actually rushed ahead of us, it's hateful!" Although Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong understood Zhou Mingrui's situation, they still couldn't help feeling annoyed that they had been robbed of the first position of confession.
Before Li Ye, who was in the chief seat, could speak and express his attitude towards Zhou Mingrui, Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong couldn't hold back and fell to their knees together.
However, before the two of them imitated Zhou Mingrui's appearance and cried out in grief, there were already sounds of "Putong" and "Putong" all around them.
Those Jiedu envoys from various feudal towns in the Central Plains were not stupid, and after Zhou Mingrui made a move, they all followed suit, knelt down on the ground one after another, and began to shout in pain: "The lowly post is guilty, please punish King An! "
In addition to Bianzhou Xuanwu Army, Xuzhou Zhongwu Army, and five Jiedu envoys from the Seven Towns of the Central Plains, they fell to their knees out of anxiety, knocking on the floor to show their pain and remorse. Shocked, Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong were almost jumped up by them.
The two were upset, and immediately glared at these people, cursing in their hearts: "A group of villains will follow the wind!"
"The humble Chen Yuanqing (Wang Rong), I don't know that King An returned to the Central Plains. He was negligent before, and he deserves death!" Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong were finally able to prostrate themselves on the ground. So the voice is very loud.
Zhou Mingrui and the Central Plains Jiedu envoys were so shaken that their eardrums went numb for a while, and they immediately turned their heads and glared at the two.
Not to be outdone, Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong stared back at the same time.
Then they saw that there was deep helplessness in each other's eyes.
In an instant, Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong realized that Zhou Mingrui's feeling was probably no better than the two of them, and maybe even more disturbed.
In the final analysis, they just neglected King An's order to call them to Bianzhou, and did not disobey King An in any substantial way. However, these Central Plains towns really expelled the generals of the Pinglu Army!
Zhou Mingrui didn't pay much attention to Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong. After looking back at them, he immediately kowtowed in the direction of the chief seat: "His Royal Highness, I didn't check for a while before I was humble, but I have always been loyal to His Highness! From now on From now on, even if His Highness sends the humble official to the mountain of swords and the sea of fire, the humble official will never frown!"
Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong were right. People like Zhou Mingrui were indeed trembling at this moment, as if they were facing an abyss.
They had received news before that the Pinglu army wanted to help them resist the Wu army and the Shu army, so they came to Bianzhou, but they never thought that after they arrived, they would be guarded by the big monks from the Tsingyi Yamen, and at this moment they saw King An, How can they not understand what happened, everyone is worried that their lives will be lost.
Although Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong had neglected King An's military order, after all, they responded to King An's military order and went to the Central Plains with him, and they had some credit for it.
These Central Plains feudal towns are different. They had just surrendered to King An. King An did not pursue their past misdeeds of being slaves to tigers. Regarding the matter of the general, can this not anger King An, and still not die
Now that he was in the mouth of a tiger, with King An's cultivation, it was easy to kill them.
...
Li Ye looked at the Jiedu envoys who were prostrating on the ground in the hall, his eyes were indifferent, without any emotion.
He said indifferently: "You are all envoys of a town at any rate, with one hundred thousand soldiers in hand, controlling the military administration of several prefectures and dozens of counties, and the number of people under your rule is no less than one million. The common people call you princes. Why are you so bold at this time? Small as a mouse, panic like a bereaved dog? Let the lonely king be disappointed."
Zhou Mingrui, Chen Yuanqing and the others looked at each other with bitterness in their hearts.
"King An, how dare I wait presumptuously?"
"Although the humble post is a Jiedushi, compared with His Highness, it is nothing more than worthless!"
"Your Highness, Wang Weihehe, told me to wait without fear."
"Your Highness is a hero, everyone in the world knows and respects everyone. King Qi, King Wu, and King Shu are all like pigs and dogs compared to Your Highness, let alone me waiting..."
Everyone was chattering, trying their best to flatter and flatter, for fear that if they didn't say a few more words now, they would never have the chance to speak again in this life.
Li Ye glanced at the crowd without commenting. His eyes finally fell on Xue Wei, Kang Chengqian and the others, and he said slowly, "What do you think the lonely king should do with these Jiedu envoys?"
Xue Wei, the Jiedu envoy of the Tianping Army, clasped his fists in a hurry, and said righteously: "These rats don't respect the king's order, if they commit crimes below, they should be executed!"
When he said this, he looked down at Zhou Mingrui, Chen Yuanqing and the others, full of condescending complacency.
Different from these people, Xue Wei was the first batch of Jiedu envoys who followed Li Ye to fight in all directions, and his loyalty to Li Ye was relatively the highest, only a little worse than the old troops of Pinglu Army. Before, even when the news of Li Ye's going to Xianyu came, Xue Wei did not confront Pinglu's army, but still maintained the minimum respect.
Not to mention how long this kind of respect can be maintained in the absence of Li Ye, but he did this before, which is in stark contrast to Zhou Mingrui, Chen Yuanqing and others.
So seeing Li Ye again at this moment, while Xue Wei was excited, he also secretly thanked himself for being wise, and felt a lot of superiority.
Li Ye was noncommittal.
Kang Chengqian glanced at Li Ye, thought about what the other party meant, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, although these people deserve no punishment, the war in the Central Plains is about to resume right now. When I am employing people, I feel that I may not be able to give them meritorious service. A chance at redemption."
Li Ye nodded slightly, but still did not come to a conclusion.
The reason why he asked Kang Chengqian and Xue Wei, but not Li Zhen, Liu Dazheng and others, was because the latter was originally his old department, and his loyalty to him was unquestionable, but the opinions of Kang Chengqian and Xue Wei could show their respective mentality.
As Li Ye expected, Xue Wei, who is reckless and simple-minded, and Kang Chengqian, who is quite wise and steady, both gave their due suggestions.
In the panic of Zhou Mingrui, Chen Yuanqing and others, Li Ye finally said without haste: "Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong, you two have fought with the lonely king, and you have made a lot of contributions. You don’t have any rebellious intentions, let’s not punish you for now, let’s see how you behave in the future.”
"Zhou Mingrui and other envoys from the Central Plains' feudal town expelled the solitary king's generals and described them as rebellious. The solitary king hated him deeply. He should have been punished according to the court's laws! But Nian you and others were the first offenders and did not cause serious consequences. At this moment, I sincerely regret it. , the lonely king will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds and atone for your sins."
"Do you have any objections?"
Everyone was overjoyed and fell to the ground to thank him. Some people even couldn't help crying bitterly, and they didn't know whether they were really scared to pee their pants, or they deliberately showed their panic to Li Ye.
Next, Li Ye made the arrangements that should be made in the future, and assigned specific tasks to everyone.
The central idea is nothing more than three. First, the generals of the Pinglu Army and the monks of Tsing Yi Yamen who were expelled from the towns will be stationed in the towns again; Third, all arrangements must be kept secret, and people below the Jiedushi must not know, whoever leaks the news will punish the nine clans!
...
Because of the urgency of the situation, it was a secret act to summon the Jiedu envoys of the towns. After the task was issued, Li Ye asked the monks in Tsingyi Yamen to "escort" the Jiedu envoys of the towns back to the feudal towns. Not held.
At night, Li Ye returned to the courtyard to take a bath and change clothes. After he finished his busy work, Miss Xu brought him meals as usual.
"Grand Li... King An, your performance today is really great, it's impeccable!"
After placing the dishes, Miss Xu moved closer to Li Ye, lowered her voice, and praised with a mysterious expression on her face.
