The big tent was set up temporarily, and Xue Poye saw another acquaintance when he opened the tent and entered.
"Brother Qiao?" Xue Poye asked.
"Marshal!" The man looked handsome and elegant, and when he saw Xue Poye coming in, he immediately came up to pay his respects: "Craftsman Qiao Ting pays his respects to Marshal!"
Xue Poye stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiao, get up quickly, you don't need to be polite here." After Qiao Ting stood up, Xue Poye took a closer look at his eyes, and saw that his eyes were like stars , bright and clear, he calmed down and said: "Eyes...!"
Qiao Ting smiled and said, "Thanks to the help of the commander-in-chief and Master Mingxu, Cao Min's eyesight has recovered."
"That's good, that's good." Xue Poye nodded repeatedly, and quickly asked, "Why did you come here? How is your grandfather?"
"Grandpa eats and sleeps enough. He is old and strong. He even asked me to say hello to the commander in chief. He wants to ask the commander to condescend to play a few games of chess in the humble house after his triumphant return." Qiao Ting's voice was soft, showing everyone's demeanor: "Caomin This time, I am here to deliver food on behalf of the three states in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Thank you very much." Xue Poye smiled, pulled Qiao Ting to sit down, and asked, "This food transportation is the official business, why do you want to come to deliver the food?"
Qiao Ting smiled wryly and said, "This matter is a bit entangled. If the commander wants to know, he really has to ask the heroes outside the account!"
"Heroes?" Xue Poye was taken aback.
Qiao Ting sighed: "The government bought a lot of grain, and our family also stored a lot of grain, so I was responsible for transporting it to the Hangzhou Granary. When we arrived in Hangzhou, naturally we had to pay a visit to the Marshal's house... Unfortunately, we met Heroes out there."
Xue Poye saw the helpless expression on Qiao Ting's face, and said in a low voice, "You mean... you were forced to come here?"
Qiao Ting chuckled and said, "However, seeing the Commander-in-Chief is a wish fulfilled. As soon as the Commander-in-Chief came in, I recognized your voice."
At this time, Lv Niangzi waited for a group of leaders of Qinglianzhao Hangzhou branch to gather at the door of the tent, waiting for Xue Poye to summon them.
"Mingxu!" Xue Poye shouted loudly.
After this group of people arrived, Ming Xu had already come to this group of people's camp in the name of treating injuries.
Hearing the rudder master's call, Mingxu rushed into the tent under everyone's gaze, and said calmly: "Master, the little one is here."
"Let Mr. Qiao take out your eyes and see if they are all good."
Knowing that this was Xue Poye's intention to dismiss Qiao Ting, Mingxu hurriedly agreed.
Qiao Ting said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Xie Mingxu!"
Xue Poye sent Qiao Ting to the tent door, and said softly, "Brother Qiao, don't take what these guys did, I will vent my anger on you later."
"Don't dare." Qiao Ting said hastily.
At that moment, Ming Xu lured Qiao Ting away, Xue Poye snorted coldly, and summoned Xiao Pinshi, Qian Hong, Lv Niangzi, Pan Silang, Xiao Lingxian and Si Luohan into the tent.
…
"You guys are so brave!" Xue Poye's expression darkened as soon as everyone entered.
Everyone saw that the rudder master's expression was very bad, and they were a little afraid.
"Big villain, why are you scolding us?" Xiao Lingxian blinked her eyes, feeling wronged: "If everyone hadn't come to save you, you would have been in trouble. How dare you scold us?"
Looking at Xiao Lingxian's flawless face, Xue Poye sighed, sat down on the chair, and waved: "You all sit down."
Then everyone sat down nervously.
The green lady winked affectionately, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Marshal, why are you so angry? It's not worthwhile to hurt your body when the fire is hot."
Xue Poye looked at the group of tired guys, shook his head, and said calmly, "You forced Qiao Ting here?"
Everyone looked at each other, a little embarrassed.
The green lady smiled charmingly, and finally said: "Our team came to Yongzhou. This is a land of chaos and chaos. If there is no excuse, we will not be able to get through along the way. It happened that Mr. Qiao came to us. Once we discussed it, we begged Qiao The young master asked the official family to ask for Ying, and personally led people to escort the food and grass to Yongzhou, but the government was still worried about the safety of the food and grass, so Young Master Qiao invited Ying, naturally it is very desirable."
Xue Poye sighed: "Begging? It's nice to say, Mr. Qiao looks aggrieved, your way of begging is really wonderful." Turning to Xiao Pinshi, he asked: "Pinshi, are these horses from our racecourse? "
Xiao Pinshi nodded hastily and said: "Yes. Both Xiao Pan and Mrs. Lu said that Brother's army lacks horses. If there are more horses, Brother's chances of winning will be higher, so...!"
"You're so stupid." Xue Poye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I was slapped by these two guys."
Xiao Pinshi smiled innocently, and said: "Brother, if they hadn't rushed over, brother... hehe...!"
Xue Poye understood what he meant. Although these guys were reckless, in the final analysis, his life was really saved by these guys.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Why did you come here?" Xue Poye stared at the green lady: "I never expected that I would be in danger, you heroes and heroes came here to save me? You know I don’t know, your appearance this time is not good for you or me. There are hundreds of thousands of Chu troops outside... If they know that you are Qing Lianzhao’s people, have you thought about the consequences?”
Qian Hong got up and cupped his fists and said, "Duo... Marshal, we came here this time because we really wanted to help the rudder master kill Mingyue King. Brothers also know that for so many years, Mingyue King deceived Mr. Yang... Yang Yao, Countless brothers died unjustly... We must avenge this revenge...!"
"Oh!" Xue Poye sneered, "It turns out that you are only here for revenge."
Qian Hong walked up to Xue Poye, and knelt down with a solemn expression. Lady Lv, Pan Silang, and Four Arhats also stepped forward and knelt in front of Xue Poye. Everyone looked extremely solemn.
Xiao Lingxian and Xiao Pinshi looked at each other, but they did not kneel down together after all.
"Marshal!" Qian Hong said solemnly: "Han... Han Changbang has been to Hangzhou and met us, and we all know the reason of the matter. Yang Yao is unrighteous and is no longer worthy to be our leader... Han Changbang said However, no matter whether you agree or not, the future of Qinglianzhao will be entrusted to you in the future, you let us go east, we will never go west... Everything is up to your orders, as long as you are willing...!" He paused slightly , After making sure that no one around would be eavesdropping, he said softly: "As long as you want, you can take over Qinglian Zhao's position at any time."
Xue Poye's expression turned cold, he glanced at the group of people in front of him, shook his head and said, "I won't take this seat." He spoke with absolute certainty, with no room for negotiation.
Lady Lv sighed, and said, "Han Changbang guessed that you would do this, don't worry, we won't force you."
"Where's Han Changbang?" Xue Poye felt a little better when he heard that Mrs. Lv said that he would not force himself: "Where did he go? Is it possible that he will quit the job?"
Pan Silang replied: "He has already left, and he may never come back... Before he left, he told us that Qinglianzhao's future is entirely up to you... Even if you let us disband immediately... we must promise!"
"Old fox!" Xue Poye cursed inwardly.
But I have to admire Han Changbang's arrangement.
In any case, Xue Poye has a constant relationship with Qinglianzhao after all, and Han Changbang also knows that Qinglianzhao today can be said to be fragmented, and internal and external troubles have made Qinglianzhao a mess. Don't say anything at this time I am afraid that even self-protection will be very difficult to fight against Chu and restore Shu.
In this case, handing over Qinglianzhao's future to Xue Poye is actually asking Xue Poye to keep Qinglianzhao's remaining forces, at least to allow these people to survive.
Han Changbang obviously saw Xue Poye through, and understood that Xue Poye could not let Qinglianzhao's brothers die in the hands of the government.
As long as she doesn't die and survives, that's Qing Lianzhao's future.
Of course Xue Poye couldn't continue to develop Qinglianzhao's influence, but he was somewhat sure of keeping the lives of these people alive.
"Where's Leng Yanyun? Where's Sima Jinglun?" Xue Poye said indifferently: "They should have the interest and ability to take responsibility."
Qian Hong shook his head and said, "Marshal, the two of them will never appear again. Han Changbang knew that if these two people were left behind, Qinglianzhao's internal strife might continue, so Han Changbang promised us that this The two will never appear again, and Han Changbang will take them away together."
Xue Poye was a little surprised, pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "Are you really following my orders?"
"It's all up to the commander in chief!" Everyone said together.
Xue Poye thought for a while, and then asked: "Even if you abandon your ideals?"
Everyone looked at each other, all showing embarrassing expressions. After all, Qinglianzhao had been established for hundreds of years. It would be an extremely shameful thing to say that it was disbanded by them.
However, according to the predicament that Qinglian is facing now, they no longer allow them to have too many choices.
Qian Hong said cautiously: "Marshal, there are more than a dozen sub-rudders outside... They are also the backbone of Qinglianzhao now... Do you want them to come in too!"
If you want to give up the ultimate goal of Qinglianzhao, even in today's situation, you need the opinions of this group of people to reach a unity.
After the thirteen sub-rudders from various states came in, they all saluted Xue Poye very respectfully. Although Xue Poye's name and status in Qinglianzhao were the same as theirs, Han Changbang had already reminded them that Qinglianzhao would come back in the future. His future will depend on the decision of this young man in front of him.
Perhaps there are some people who are not so convinced, but in the absence of many choices, it is undoubtedly a good choice for Xue Poye to deal with the current predicament.
Xue Poye felt a little crazy to hold the Qinglian photo meeting in the camp of the Chu Army, but fortunately, those people outside were enough to ensure the safety here.
After everyone stood still, Xue Poye said straight to the point: "Give up your so-called ideal, that ideal that is almost impossible to achieve, and start a new life. Are you...willing?"
Qing Lianzhao and the others went down sadly.
"Marshal... Is there no other way?" A helmsman said: "If you lead us, we may not be able to realize our long-cherished wish that has not been realized for a hundred years."
"I won't try." Xue Poye refused directly: "Do you think I'm negotiating terms with you? It's a very simple choice, you can agree or not. If you agree, I will arrange for you New life, if you don’t agree... you can leave here safely to realize your own ambitions, don’t worry, even if I don’t intervene, I will never send anyone to hurt you...!"
"Marshal, you... You are a bit domineering." Someone said.
Xue Poye touched his nose and sneered, "Overbearing? I can tell you that the real imperial court is much more overbearing than me. I know that some of you may still be unconvinced in your hearts. The century-old Qinglian photo disappeared, how is this possible? Yes, it is normal to have this kind of thinking, but if you take this kind of thinking seriously, it is really a tragedy." After a pause, he said slowly: "Yang Yao is gone, Han Changbang It's gone, Leng Yanyun is gone, Sima Jinglun is gone...Of course, you can choose a new leader, but I want to tell you that the court's attitude towards Qing Lianzhao is no longer what it was a year ago. At that time, the court only I regard you as a grain of sand in my eyes, but now, you have become sharp knives that cut the court... Yang Yao colluded with King Mingyue and almost overthrew the Great Chu Dynasty. Think about it yourself, once the Northwest War is over, the court will Will you still tolerate the continuation of Qinglian photos?"
Everyone was listening, and someone couldn't help but said: "The imperial court has dealt with us for nearly a hundred years... Aren't we still standing strong?"
"The reason is very simple, because at that time, the struggle within the imperial court did not put the maximum energy on you, and at that time, you had relatively good leaders." Xue Poye said lightly: "But now, this The two advantages have disappeared... The collusion between Qing Lianzhao and King Mingyue made the court aware of your potential threat, and they will do their best to destroy you. The most important thing is... you have lost the leader who can lead you to continue to be strong. "
Suddenly someone knelt down and cried: "Master Xue Duo...you have the ability to lead us down...!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of people knelt down, full of expectations for Xue Poye.
Xue Poye looked at this group of tough guys kneeling in front of him, many of them had red eyes and even shed tears, knowing that they were all sad for Qinglianzhao's fall.
Xue Poye looked at the green lady in the crowd, her charming face was extremely sad, but she didn't say a word.
"Forget it." Xue Poye stood up and sighed: "Maybe some of you think that I abandoned you for the sake of glory and wealth, but what I want to tell you is that this is definitely not the reason you imagined. The reason is only One...the world is peaceful and the people live in peace, there is really no need for Qinglianzhao...not only the court, but also yourself...!" After a pause, he shook his head and said: "If you think I violated the gang rules, or think that I I am a person who is greedy for glory and wealth, you can kill me right now... you have the ability now...!"
Everyone was silent.
The room was extremely silent for a while, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.
After a long time, a person finally said: "Commander, when the chief rudder Han left, he ordered us to do everything according to the command of the commander. At that time, we also agreed. I will never go back on my word." After a pause, he said slowly: "However, the commander-in-chief also knows that Qing Lian Zhaoqian's brothers don't just want to leave, even if they want to leave, they must come up with something convincing. "
Xue Poye glanced at the man and said, "What do you want me to show?"
"Don't dare." The man hurriedly said: "I just beg the commander-in-chief to help us Qinglianzhao get rid of the two people, as long as the two people get rid of them, the brothers will be convinced."
"Who? Which two people should we get rid of?" Xue Poye said calmly.
He didn't want to make a deal with Qinglianzhao, but he also knew that even if these people agreed to disband Qinglianzhao, if all the thousands of people in Qinglianzhao agreed, there would always be some price to pay.
"Yang Yao, Mingyue King!" The man said word by word: "My Qinglian photo fell to this day, and it was caused by these two people. I also ask the commander-in-chief to lead us to get rid of these two people. As long as they die, The vengeance of the dead brother has been avenged, and Qinglian will be determined by the general!"
"Exactly." Everyone said in unison: "Once the vengeance is avenged, everything will be decided by the commander in chief."
When Xue Poye heard the name "Yang Yao", he couldn't help but glanced at the little fairy beside him. After hearing the word "Mingyue King", the little fairy's petite body trembled slightly, and her face became pale. Quite sad, she raised her head, looked at Xue Poye, and suddenly ran over, grabbed Xue Poye's hand, before she could speak, her eye circles were red, and she said with a sobbing voice: "Big... big villain, you Help me kill Mingyue King, okay? Can you help me? He killed my sister... woo woo woo... Big villain, help me."
Xue Poye was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, looked at Lady Lv, and saw Lady Lv's expression was gloomy, she nodded slightly, he immediately understood that the person who wanted to come to see Qinglian, blamed the death of Seventh Junior Sister on King Mingyue On the road, he told a white lie to Little Fairy.
Seventh Junior Sister was betrayed by Da Yuan and died at the hands of Tan Ziqing, this fact was not told to Xiao Lingxian.
Feeling Xiao Lingxian's sadness from the bottom of his heart, Xue Poye gently stroked Xiao Lingxian's hair, and said softly: "Xiao Lingxian, don't worry, I will definitely kill Mingyue King to avenge your sister !" He sighed secretly in his heart: "This little guy, when he found out that his sister was dead, how sad it was!"
Seeing what Xue Poye said, Xiao Lingxian couldn't help showing gratitude, and the others also showed relief.
Xue Poye glanced at everyone, then looked at Xiao Lingxian with emotion, pondered for a while, and finally said: "Yang Yao is currently being imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As long as he returns to Beijing, I can hand it over to you to deal with. As for King Mingyue... I think you all know the situation, as long as the court wins this battle, King Mingyue will definitely die!"
"Thank you Commander!" Everyone said in unison: "We are willing to help Commander kill the enemy!"
Xue Poye smiled faintly, and said: "If you are willing to contribute, I will naturally not refuse. The battlefield has no eyes, and you have to be more careful... You should follow the army as a food protection team for the time being, and don't let the Chu army See the flaws... But now everyone's attention is on Yongzhou, as long as you don't expose too much, nothing will happen."
"yes!"
Xue Poye nodded in satisfaction, lightly patted Xiao Lingxian's fragrant shoulder, and said softly: "Silly girl, take a rest first, and talk to you later."
Xiao Lingxian nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Green Lady!" Xue Poye said calmly, "Follow me!" Dang went out of the tent first.
The green lady bit her lip, her face flushed slightly, and finally followed her out.
