Chapter 240
"Right now, our army is on the cusp. How could the Nanzhao Kingdom clash with Beiliang over such a trivial matter? I'm afraid they have already sent envoys to Hexi to discuss with us how to coordinate the relationship between the two countries. Matters." Ye Zhaoyan looked in the direction of Hexi, his eyes full of coldness.

Deputy General Chen was shocked when he heard this, and quickly asked: "Then what should we do? Should we fight hard with Beiliang?"

"No." Ye Zhaoyan was silent for a long time, and slowly spit out two words.

"Why?" Deputy General Chen turned pale with shock, he couldn't believe that such a capable major general was a spineless person.

"How can we do the opposite at this time?" Ye Zhaoyan said indifferently, "Since the other party made such a suggestion, we naturally have to follow the trend, otherwise, wouldn't it be a disappointment to his painstaking efforts? Ye Jiajun can take this opportunity to invite you into the urn! "

When Deputy General Chen heard the words, his heart suddenly became brighter, and he quickly said: "I also ask the young general to give me some advice!"

Ye Zhaoyan nodded slightly, and a ruthless look flashed across his eyes as he looked towards Hexi, "Let's pretend to agree to this covenant, and when the time comes, they will regret it!"

"Yes, the general understands." The deputy general clasped his fists and said, hating the people of Beiliang in his heart.

After a stick of incense, at Ye Zhaoyan's request, Sheriff Sun Yanwu took Ye Zhaoyan into the sheriff's mansion alone.

They were terrified by Tianlu's army of the Ye family, but the major general of the Ye family who was alone was not afraid.

Even, Sun Yanwu still had a plan in his heart to use Ye Zhaoyan to threaten the Ye family army.

However, he only dared to think about it. After all, the Ye family army belonged to Emperor Tianlu Donglin, so they would not give in easily for a major general.

If this person is replaced by Ye Wenxuan, the number one general, that would be possible.

When Ye Zhaoyan arrived, he went deep into the sheriff's mansion, and there was a huge garden in it, covering a wide area, with pavilions, terraces, pavilions, rockery fountains, flowers and trees, beautiful and beautiful, it was comparable to the palace of the king and grandson.

She was shocked in her heart, so magnificent, it seems that the support behind Beijun is extraordinary.

At the request of Ye Zhaoyan, Sun Yanwu summoned the sheriff of Beijun and other officials in the study.

Everyone gathered together, looking at Ye Zhaoyan who was sitting in the upper seat with burning eyes.

Ye Zhaoyan glanced at everyone, and said coldly, "I went to Beijun this time to follow orders."

As soon as the words finished, Sun Yanwu, the county guard, interrupted her and said, "I don't know why Major General Ye asked the subordinate officials to gather everyone together?"

Now that he is in the Sheriff's Mansion, Ye Zhaoyan has no one around him, so he naturally wants to show up.

"Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient!" Ye Zhaoyan waved his hand to stop Sun Yanwu, the sheriff, and continued, "I am here to take over all the military affairs of Hexi by order of His Majesty. Now, at the request of my lord, a temporary reprieve How many hours."

She changed the subject, "It's just that someone came to report just now, saying that the envoy from the Nanzhao Kingdom seemed to be followed by heavy soldiers. The person who came was not kind. I don't know what's the meaning of this move?"

Sun Yanwu's face changed slightly when he heard this, hesitation flickered in his eyes, he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, the rest of the officials exchanged glances one after another.

They couldn't predict how the Nanzhao Congress would do it, but this situation had also been envisioned by a few of them.

It would be reasonable to send troops in a fit of anger.

Seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces, Ye Zhaoyan asked, "Master County Governor, I don't know how to explain this matter?"

All the officials looked at Ye Zhaoyan with scrutiny.

At this time, Sun Yanwu, the county guard, finally thought up his words, looked up at Ye Zhaoyan, and said in a deep voice: "Major General Ye, I'm afraid this matter is a bit of a misunderstanding. Why did the Nanzhao Kingdom do this? We have to wait until they arrive before we can discuss it." figure out."

"Since that's the case, will the things my lord promised to the major general still count?" Ye Zhaoyan stared at Sun Yanwu with burning eyes.

When Sun Yanwu heard this, he looked at Ye Zhaoyan with a complicated expression.

"Why, isn't the governor going to fulfill his promise?" Ye Zhaoyan's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly.

"Don't be impatient, major general, I will take people to Nanzhao right now...ah!"

Before Sun Yanwu finished speaking, he suddenly screamed, clutching his neck and fell to the ground grimly, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, looking extremely painful.

The hidden weapon in Ye Zhaoyan's hand brushed against his neck, leaving a deep bloodstain. Before everyone could react, she cut off the table in front of Sun Yanwu with a sword, preventing several people who wanted to come forward to help him. guard.

Everyone was taken aback, and looked at Ye Zhaoyan full of fear.

Ye Zhaoyan held a long sword across Sun Yanwu's neck, his eyes were extremely cold.

Sun Yanwu's eyes widened, looking at the sharp sword so close at hand, his heart was beating wildly.

"Major General Ye Ye, you."

Ye Zhaoyan said coldly: "Your Majesty, I hate people lying to me the most! If you don't want to die, just do as I say, otherwise you will know what will happen!"

Sun Yanwu was sweating coldly from the pain, and the veins on his forehead were exposed, but he held back the severe pain and said with difficulty, "Yes, yes! Please order, Major General."

"I didn't want to embarrass Junsun Sun. Before the arrival of the envoy from Nanzhao Kingdom, I asked the governor to hand over the seal and documents to me for safekeeping." Ye Zhao said coldly.

"No! How can the seal and documents be delivered easily?" Sun Yanwu was shocked.

"What? You want to break your promise?" Ye Zhaoyan snarled.

"Don't dare..." The county guard Sun Yanwu's face turned pale, and he immediately changed his words, "The seal and documents were given to us by the Nanzhao Kingdom. As the guardians of the North County, we dare not risk the death penalty." I hope the Major General will understand me if I hand it over to any outsider so easily."

"You mean that what you promised to this general before is all fake?" Ye Zhaoyan's face was frosty, and the long sword in his hand brushed against his neck intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, several officials blocked their throats if they wanted to argue with reason.

They have been favored by Sun Yanwu for many years, and they are all honored by him. At this moment, they all have sympathy for each other.

"No, it's not." Sun Yanwu couldn't help flinching, and quickly opened his mouth to defend, "We made an oath to do our duty for the Nanzhao Kingdom, and we have to wait for the Nanzhao Kingdom to keep the seal and deliver the documents." nod!"

"What a loyal subject of Nanzhao Kingdom!" Ye Zhaoyan sneered, implying murderous intent.

Sun Yanwu was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his face pale as paper.

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoyan restrained the frost on his face, and said: "In this case, I will give you a compromise! Give these two things to me alone, and I will stay at the county guard's mansion. The Nanzhao Kingdom came to negotiate. If we can't reach an agreement, how about not asking me to leave?"

"How can this be done... These two items are very important, how can the major general hold them alone? What if His Majesty Nanzhao Kingdom blames him..."

Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help sneering, "Mr. Sun, the general has already given in so far. If you insist on dying, the general will be happy!"
