Silver Overlord - Chapter 821

[Chapter 789 The Northwest Situation]

Yan Liqiang did not stay in the secret realm of Canglong Mountain in Yuluo Palace for too long. It was almost the same night that he ended his entry. He and Lei Sitong left the Canglong Mountain Cheats and returned to Ganzhou respectively, but Lei Sitong returned to The state capital of Ganzhou, while Yan Liqiang, returned to Qiyun County.

Cui Lichen’s injury has almost recovered. This time, after knowing that the demon who transformed into Lin Qingtian has become the Holy Master of the White Lotus Sect, Cui Lichen is already thinking about when he will go to “Devil and Guard Dao” again. It’s just that the whereabouts of the Holy Master of the White Lotus Sect is mysterious and erratic. It’s not as easy to grab him by the tail as Lin Qingtian did, so this matter has to be discussed in the long run.

But for Yan Liqiang, this is also good news. The demon who transformed into Lin Qingtian wanted to get rid of himself at any time, but now, Cui Lichen has already set his sights on that demon—no, more correct, in the words of Emperor Yuluo. Say, it’s the Shadow Demon – Cui Lichen might join forces with other people from Yuluo Palace, so that he doesn’t need to worry about the Shadow Demon and the White Lotus Sect for the time being, just leave everything to Yuluo Palace. Well, in the remaining year, he only needs to do one thing – collect the ancient waves grassland.

To harvest Fulang Prairie within a year, this is like a fantasy for others, it is impossible, but for Yan Liqiang, this plan has already been brewing in his heart, since he started to make wool I was already thinking about this when I was publishing. Now the Heijie and Shatu Qibu are fighting on the Gulang Prairie. A good opportunity to collect the ancient wave grassland by yourself.

From Lei Sitong’s mouth, Yan Liqiang also knew the current situation in the northwestern states, and the current northwestern states also knew what happened in the imperial capital and the land of Gyeonggi, but compared with other places in the Han Empire, it was far away from Gyeonggi. The northwest of the land has suffered almost no losses in this disaster in the land of Gyeonggi. The foundation of the White Lotus Sect in the northwest is weak, and it has not taken the opportunity to make a name for itself. Therefore, the states in the northwest are still the same as before. There are no signs of unrest.

The prefects of the northwestern states are also inquiring about the news of the court and other places, while watching cautiously, at least on the surface they are still maintaining the system and tradition of the Han Empire, and they are still talking to their subordinate officials, county governors and governors. If you are loyal to the imperial court, loyal to Your Majesty, etc., all the governors are old and cunning. In fact, in the northwestern states, including Ganzhou, the prefects of the prefectures are now dominated by one person, and no one can control them anymore. Because the imperial court is over, the superiors who can directly restrain and order the prefects of the prefectures are also gone. It is impossible to have any more orders and official documents, so the prefects of each state actually have some different thoughts. The most direct manifestation is that the first reaction of the prefects of each state after receiving the news of the great change in the imperial capital is to hurry up. With the military power, Yinzhou, Huanzhou and several states have already taken the opportunity to relieve the position of the state governor, and the governor will also serve as the governor. All the mobilization of troops and horses must be ordered by the governor…

Just a few days ago, Lei Sitong I also received letters from the governors of other states. Several governors wanted to coordinate with Lei Sitong to agree on the constitution of the northwestern states to unite and protect themselves.

“Nominally speaking, the northwestern states are united to protect themselves to prevent the White Lotus Sect and gangsters from making waves, but the so-called united self-protection is actually taking off your pants and farting. Those governors who want to protect their own position as governors are first and foremost. , they also want to make an agreement with Lao Tzu that if there is a local wealthy family in any state against their prefect, the other prefects should support together to maintain the imperial court’s legal system, and if necessary, they will send troops to help. After I destroy Ganzhou After the Ye family, Ganzhou basically has no local wealthy family that can threaten me. If you say that you can really threaten me, in Ganzhou, you are the only one who will be respected, and the others are nothing. , and other states are different. Now that there is an accident in the imperial court, the prefects who have not deep roots in the local area and short tenure are most likely to be overridden by the wealthy families below, or even become puppets. Those wealthy families in various states are now watching the wind, but In private, there are not many honest ones, many people are already recruiting troops, and some are already building cities and accumulating food, and they are all about to move…”

As for the mentality of the provincial governors after the incident in the imperial court, in Lei Sitong’s words, there are joys and sorrows, and the mentality is complicated. Needless to say, the sadness is not to be said. After all, the governors are also high-ranking officials of the imperial court. Seeing that the imperial court is over, the whole land of Gyeonggi will be destroyed overnight. In between, it becomes a dead place, the world is in chaos, and I have no superiors and no backers. It is said that things hurt others. I am afraid that there are really few people who can be happy about this matter, and all the prefects are also different. Frightened and scared, it is natural to be reasonable.

As for the so-called joy, there is also the most direct point. In Lei Sitong’s words, from today onwards, all the money and food in Ganzhou can stay in Ganzhou, and there is no need to turn it over to the imperial court, because the imperial court is finished. Now, who should I turn it over to? This is a huge amount. With all this money, the prefects of each state have more resources at their disposal. When a prefect, who doesn’t like to have more money and more food in their hands? Come, the minds of these governors will also be activated.

This is also the confidence of Lei Sitonggan and Yan Liqiang, who has always claimed that he is too poor, to support Yan Liqiang’s acquisition of Fulang Grassland by giving up the income of Yuntao County Salt Works for a year.

The current situation of the states in the northwest, in the final analysis, is a sentence. On the surface, the wind and waves are calm, but the undercurrents are turbulent behind the scenes. Whether it is the prefects of each state or the local giants of each state, they are all thinking about it now. The superficial harmony is still maintained between the rich and powerful county governors. It seems that everything is the same as before, but no one knows how long this harmony will last.

It was in such an atmosphere that Yan Liqiang traveled day and night, changing many rhinoceros and dragons and horses in the inn along the way, and finally returned to Yan’an Fort in Qiyun County on May 18th.

When Yan Liqiang returned to Yan’an Fort, it was already late at night, and the sky was full of stars. Yan’an Fort had already curfew and closed the city gate. The top of Yan’an Fort was brightly lit. I have left a lot more, and it can be seen that Yan Anbao’s defense has also strengthened a lot these days.

Looking at this familiar place, an indescribable feeling surged in Yan Liqiang’s heart. He was relieved, at ease, and there was an unspeakable excitement. For several months, Yan Liqiang, who has experienced countless lives and deaths, said that he felt an inexplicable sense of comfort and intimacy as if a ship had seen a lighthouse after sailing in the stormy sea for a long time.

Maybe this is home!

The sound of horses’ hoofs alerted the guards above Yan’an Fort. Before Yan Li and strong man arrived, there were still hundreds of meters away from the city gate, and an arrow shot towards him from the city wall of Yan’an Fort. The arrow fell. On the ground ten meters in front of the rhinoceros, the cluster of arrows penetrated into the ground, leaving only the shafts trembling.

“This is Yan’an Fort, stop here, if something happens, come back tomorrow morning when the fort gate opens…” A voice came from the city wall, it was Yan Qing.

Yan Liqiang continued to dash forward without stopping, but after dashing forward for a few dozen meters, the second arrow shot over, with a strong wind, straight to Yan Liqiang’s left shoulder, it could be seen that Yan Qing’s shot Still decent.

The moment the arrow came to his body, Yan Liqiang stretched out his hand, grabbed the arrow, and held it firmly in his hand. Then, while laughing, he jumped up from the horse and stepped into the air. , jumped directly to the city wall of Yan’an Fort.

When Yan Qing and a group of sergeants guarding the city wall with spears rushed over, UU read www.sonicmtl.

com Yan Liqiang has already taken off the hat on his head, revealing his true face in the light of the fire, “Yan Qing, your archery has improved a little in the past few days, not bad, not bad…”

“Sir… “Seeing that it was Yan Liqiang, Yan Qing was so excited that he quickly put away the long sword in his hand and gave Yan Li a forced salute.

And those sergeants who rushed over were stunned for a moment, and a group of people suddenly shouted, overjoyed, “It’s your lord… it’s your lord… Your lord is back… Your lord is back…”

With this voice came , more and more lights in Yan’an Fort were turned on, and the entire Yan’an Fort was disturbed.

“Where’s Yan Hong?” Yan Liqiang patted Yan Qing’s shoulder with a smile, and handed him the arrow in his hand.

“Yan Hong is guarding the house!”

“What about Xi and the others, have they all arrived safely?”

“Thank you for your concern, everyone has arrived safely!”

“Okay, let’s go home first…”
