C571 A Remnant of the Southern Legion
Hearing this name, the Emperor couldn't help but laugh. Towards this answer, the Emperor wasn't too surprised. After all, Lin Qiyu had already joined the Divine Weapon Camp last year, and there were rumors saying that she was now Ye Tian's forbidden luan.
However, the emperor was curious about Ye Tian's ability to make two of the most powerful people in the empire beg for marriage.
A person without any foundation, who relied on Wen Tianbi to bring him to such a level, it was truly a rare thing to be able to do so far in the imperial court.
Smiling and nodding his head, the Emperor opened his mouth and said, "Before you came, Ruhua forced me to hold the engagement ceremony between Yan'er and Ye Tian."
Hearing this, Lin Chengzhou frowned and complained to himself that he was a step too late.
At this moment, the emperor spoke again, "In that case, I shall pass down an order: Yan'er and Qi Yu will be engaged to Ye Tian together. Do you have any objections?"
Honestly speaking, since Qin Ruhua was one step ahead of her, there was always a first come, second served, and Lin Qiyu should wait until Qin Yan'er and Ye Tian's engagement ceremony was completed before choosing the auspicious day to get engaged.
However, the Emperor's words had completely taken care of him, Lin Chengzhou. It was better for the two of them to be engaged than for Lin Qiyu to be at the back of the line.
Thinking of this, Lin Chengzhou bowed deeply and said, "This subject is extremely grateful for Your Majesty's kindness."
After exiting the Imperial Study, Lin Chengzhou practically jogged all the way to the carriage outside the palace, then galloped back to the Lin Manor.
No matter what, the emperor had finally agreed to Lin Qiyu's marriage, and it wasn't after Qin Yan'er's wedding at all. With regards to this, Lin Chengzhou, who knew what the cunning old fox Qin Ruhua was up to, was full of joy.
In all honesty, Lin Qiyu was one step ahead of Lin Chengzhou at the start. She had walked in front of him and became Ye Tian's Luan. However, when Qin Ruhua found out about Qin Yan'er and Ye Tian, he took a step back and moved forward instead. He came later and arrived earlier. In turn, he let the Emperor agree to the marriage between Ye Tian and Qin Yan'er first.
This time, Lin Chengzhou didn't fall behind. Even if he wasn't one step ahead of Qin Ruhua, he didn't fall behind.
Thinking about this, Lin Chengzhou sat in the carriage, thinking about his daughter's voice and appearance, and said in a gratified tone: "Gouyu, there is only so much that I can fight for you for. As for how far you can go in the future, it all depends on your luck and ability."
For the past few days, Ye Tian and his group had nothing to do in this wasteland, so they were bored to death. According to the information sent by Feng Lian's Departed Soul Bird, the Pajing City was also in a mess. The officials and generals of all levels, upon seeing that Ye Tian's seven great legions were at the eastern border of the Inca Empire, naturally panicked as well.
A few officials had already started to arrange for their families to flee, but no matter where they escaped to now, Barrow, who was in the east, had already been taken over by Ye Tian. Tiangong Empire was to the north and Eli Empire in the northwest. Currently, around the Inca Empire, other than the fact that he could go there, there was no other way to go in any other direction.
Ye Tian didn't comment. If you guys want to run, then run. I want this place called Inca Empire anyway.
At the same time, Feng Lian's Departed Soul Bird also found traces of Mo Sha's group.
At this moment, on Phoenix Mountain in the southwest of Jinling City, Mo Sha and the rest were having difficult time negotiating with the old clan within the Zhengnan Legion.
The current leader of Zhengnan Legion was the vice commander of the original army, Shao Woo. At this moment, looking at Mo Sha in front of him, Shao Woo's heart was as fast as lightning as he started to think.
Honestly speaking, Mo Sha, Saw Chains, Luo Qin and Oke were all capable generals under Yan Zhengnan's command. Logically speaking, there was no reason for Shao Woo to not trust Mo Sha.
After all, Shao Woo himself and the thirty thousand soldiers behind him had once been Yan Zhengnan's loyal soldiers. The Zhengnan Legion was created by Yan Zhengnan himself, and even the name of the army came from Yan Zhengnan.
However, Shao Woo didn't have much confidence at the moment. Because Mo Sha didn't come from Nanhan Pass, she came from Shangjing City.
Shao Woo believed in Mo Sha and Yan Zhengnan, but he did not believe in the Emperor of Tiangong Empire.
Mo Sha and Yan Zhengnan might be able to tolerate and understand the remnants of Zhengnan Legion that had already become deserters and raiders, but the Emperor might not be able to either.
What Shao Woo was afraid of was that Yan Zhengnan would be ordered by the Emperor to send Mo Sha to the Phoenix Mountain to lure these thirty thousand soldiers down the mountain in the name of recruiting. Then the rest of the soldiers that were lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain would be killed on the spot.
Shao Woo himself didn't matter much, but when these thirty thousand soldiers ran out of the Nanhan Pass, they had come all the way here because of the trust they had in him.
He had to be responsible for the thirty thousand soldiers.
At this time, Mo Sha, who was carefully observing Shao Woo, spoke again: "Shao Woo, you shouldn't have forgotten. I was the one who dragged you back from the pile of dead people after the battle in Sha Tian. "Say, if I want to harm you now, do I need to waste so much time talking to you?"
Shao Woo clasped his hands together and bowed as he said: "Master Mo, Shao Woo's life was saved by you. Regarding this, I will never forget it in my next life. If you are here today to take my life, I will not resist at all. "
Shao Woo pointed at the thirty thousand men behind him who were wearing ragged clothes. "But if you want to kill these thirty thousand men, I, Shao Woo, have no choice but to stop you."
Mo Sha was truly a bit impatient as she glared. "Who wants the lives of these thirty thousand officers? Ah? Who said they wanted the lives of these thirty thousand soldiers? Do you think I'm crazy when you look at me? Ah? You want one of your own to kill one of your own? "
After a brief pause, Mo Sha stretched out her finger again and poked the soldiers behind Shao Woo in the air. She continued, "Among these people, how many of them fought with me? How many of them were saved by me on the battlefield? "How many people are there when I supplement your family's silver without being able to pay?"
Hearing Mo Sha's words, many of the thirty thousand soldiers behind Shao Woo were moved. In all honesty, Mo Sha's words were absolutely true. At least thousands of the thirty thousand warriors had experienced what Mo Sha had said.
At this point, some soldiers began to shout loudly, "Lord Mo, we trust you, but we don't trust His Majesty the emperor."
"That's right, the Emperor definitely won't tolerate deserters like us."
"That's right. According to the imperial law, we must be killed."
Mo Sha waved to the soldiers to be quiet again when she heard their shouts. After a brief pause, Mo Sha continued, "Alright, even if you don't believe in the emperor, you should at least believe Manager Ye, right?"
"Manager Ye?" The soldiers looked at each other in confusion.
Shao Woo was also frowning as he looked at Mo Sha and said, "Why is the matter of us becoming deserters related to Imperial Household Department again?"
Mo Sha turned around, pointed to the south behind her, and said: "Although you all control the mountain as your king, I believe you all have heard, that Manager Ye's seven great Legions have already swept over the Baluo Empire, and are currently stationed at the border between Barrow and Inca."
The remaining soldiers of Zhengnan Legion would usually go down the mountain to borrow food from wealthy families. Naturally, they heard about Ye Tian sweeping Baluo Empire. But first, Zhengnan Legion and Imperial Household Department had never had anything to do with each other, and secondly, their seven great Legions were much more powerful than Zhengnan Legion.
The Zhengnan Legion soldiers were even a little worried that Ye Tian's seven great Legions would come to Phoenix Mountain to exterminate the bandits.
Mo Sha then continued to point directly to the south behind them. "Do you know what he's waiting for?"
Nodding her head, Mo Sha looked at Shao Woo and the group of soldiers in front of her and gritted her teeth as she said, "It's really easy for the seven great legions to break into the Inca Empire. It's a piece of cake. The reason why Manager Ye only surrounded them and did not attack, is because he wanted to wait for me, for you, for the rest of the soldiers from the Zhengnan Legion to return to the Nanhan Pass and let you kill these People of Inca s who had killed seventy thousand Zhengnan Legion warriors. With the help of Manager Ye and his seven big Legions, we can effortlessly kill every single one of People of Inca's army. "
Hearing Mo Sha's words, all the soldiers were moved once again. They started whispering to each other.
Honestly speaking, the scene of how the People of Inca's Mammoth War Elephant Legion directly attacked into the Nanhan Pass was still vivid in the minds of many soldiers. Countless people were directly killed, bitten to death, and stepped to death by the mammoth. Arrows, Long Halberd s, and swords were useless against those gigantic beasts.
She still felt extremely miserable when she thought about it. Other than hatred, many soldiers still felt a lingering fear.
If there really was a chance, to be able to attack the capital of the People of Inca and slash the hands of the People of Inca to death, for all the soldiers, it was definitely a good opportunity to avenge their brothers and comrades from the past.
At this moment, Shao Woo was staring at Mo Sha seriously. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Sir Mo, is what you said true?"
Mo Sha shrugged. Then, she looked at Shao Woo with a smile and said, "Do you think that I came all the way here just to joke with you?"
Shao Woo's chest heaved as he gasped for breath. Under the intense mental struggle, the scale in Shao Woo's heart finally tilted to the side.
After a moment of serious consideration, Shao Woo turned his head and looked at the 30,000 officers. He said loudly, "I trust Lord Mo. Those who are also willing to return with Lord Mo, raise your hand."
After a short period of silence, a few soldiers started to raise their hands one after another. Immediately, more and more soldiers raised their hands.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Shao Woo looked behind him in silence. There were many pairs of hands raised up in the air.
Nodding his head, he finally relaxed his mind. Shao Woo turned back around and kneeled down in front of Mo Sha as he said loudly, "Sinner Shao Woo, is willing to lead thirty thousand of our remaining Zhengnan Legion warriors to listen to Lord Mo."
Mo Sha giggled, turned her head, looked at Saw Chains, Oke and Luo Qin, then waved her hand. She said loudly: "All Zhengnan Legion members listen to the order, get into formation, currently directly south, let's return to Nanhan Pass."
Hearing Mo Sha's order, the soldiers cheered before quickly forming up a formation.
Just as the thirty thousand odd soldiers of the Zhengnan Legion were about to follow the Four Knights of the Southern Wilderness down the mountain, Ye Tian also received the imperial edict sent by the Devil Beast and flying birds.
The content of the imperial edict was very simple. Ye Tian was informed to prepare the engagement ceremony with Lin Qiyu and Qin Yan'er as soon as possible.
The moment Ye Tian finished reading the imperial edict, he was quite frightened.0
Within the Shangjing City, the struggle between the military and political parties had actually reached such an intensity? He was still in the Southern Wilderness, and the engagement ceremony was about to begin.
However, the Emperor had made it very clear in his letter that the engagement ceremony could not be delayed any longer. After all, Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua were the two most prominent figures in the imperial court. Although they didn't have the same intentions before, the two of them still had quite the power in their hands. The two great figures, the disciples under them, and their following were innumerable, covering the entire empire, and could not be taken lightly.
However, the Emperor also suggested that Ye Tian could decide the location of the engagement himself. The Military and Political Academies respectively informed Lin Qiyu and Qin Yan'er that they would arrive at the engagement point designated by Ye Tian, and then held a ceremony at the same time.
