Need for Plundering Immortals

Chapter 274 274. Grand Master Ye

After listening to Wei Ke's description, Ye Donglai understood the whole story.

200 years ago, the Chiyan Empire borrowed the magic weapon of the Jiangxia Empire, but never returned it.

In the past 200 years, the Jiangxia Empire certainly sent people to ask for the Yanyang Banner.

When Wei Ke's ancestor lent the Yanyang Banner, he signed an IOU with the Emperor of the Chiyan Empire at the same time. This IOU can still be used as a proof.

As long as the people of the Jiangxia Empire bring the IOU, they can confidently ask for the magic weapon.

Of course, it is limited to "asking for."

After all, the other party did not pay back.

There is an IOU, at least the Chiyan Empire has to admit it, but they just refuse to return it for various reasons.The Jiangxi Empire encountered a lot of difficulties, and every time they returned without success, they gradually gave up.

But one thing is certain, the IOU is still there, when the Jiangxia Empire sent envoys to ask for the Yanyang Banner, the envoy could see the Yanyang Banner.

As you can see, this is enough for Ye Donglai.

Wei Ke's description of these is to give Ye Donglai an idea of ​​the most likely way to get in touch with Yanyang Banner.

"I will arrange a diplomatic post for Ye Shangxian. When the time comes, Ye Shangxian will bring an IOU to visit the Chiyan Empire as an envoy. The Chiyan Empire, on the surface, still has to face. It must receive Ye Shangxian, and Ye Shangxian will have a chance to see him. Yanyang Banner." Wei Ke added, "Of course, after seeing the Yanyang Banner, they will still refuse to return it for various reasons and postpone it indefinitely."

Ye Donglai thought about it, and said: "I understand, is it a rascal who co-authored the Chiyan Empire?"

Wei Ke smiled bitterly: "Actually, there is no other way. After all, the weak are prey to the strong. We are not as good as others. What can we do if we are bullied? Every time the envoy goes to ask for the Yanyang Banner, it is actually fighting for a face. And the Scarlet Yan Empire let the envoy see the flame Yang Ban, why didn't you slap your face on purpose? It's really shameful that our own family's things are regarded as the treasure of the country by others. But after so many years, there are almost not many people who know about it."

"If that's the case, then I'll go and ask for Yanyang Banner." Ye Donglai smiled lightly.

In any case, now he has a chance to get in touch with Yanyang Banner.As for how to operate in the future, it can only adapt to the situation.

Without the identity of the Jiangxia Empire's envoy, Ye Donglai would never have had the chance to enter the Chiyan Empire's palace.

Seeing that Ye Donglai had made up his mind, Wei Ke said earnestly: "Since Ye Shangxian is in a hurry, then I will make arrangements. Tomorrow, Ye Shangxian will be the adviser and envoy of our Jiangxia Empire. Of course, the people in the court don't know With the status of Shangxian, Ye Shangxian may be required to cooperate with him when he takes office."

"Yes." Ye Donglai nodded.

Afterwards, Wei Ke arranged many beautiful maids for Ye Donglai, and he prepared them himself.

Usually, an emperor can find a few officials to take care of it, but for Ye Shangxian's affairs, he has to do it himself.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, in the court hall.

All the ministers gathered, and Emperor Wei Ke sat on the dragon chair, with the aura of ruling the world.

However, today's Wei Ke, his eyes fell on "Ye Xiqu" in the line of ministers from time to time...

"Is there anything else you want to play, my loves?" Emperor Wei Ke's voice echoed in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the major empires has been complicated recently. Do we really want to go to the Chiyan Empire to ask for the Yanyang Banner now?" An old minister stood up and asked with a worried expression.

"Prime Minister, you don't need to say too much, I've made up my mind. The Yanyang Banner is the treasure of the Jiangxia Empire. It's unbearable to be occupied by the Chiyan Empire for 200 years." Emperor Wei Ke's attitude was quite amiable.

He also knew that what the prime minister said was true.

It stands to reason that Yanyang Banner must not come back, if it can be brought back, it will not delay more than 200 years.

Now that the relationship between the various kingdoms is tense and complicated, the Jiangxia Empire suddenly went to the Yanyang Empire to ask for debts, which would definitely cause Yanyang Empire's dissatisfaction, even if the Yanyang Banner was indeed borrowed.

The Yanyang Empire is powerful, if it does something unfavorable to the Jiangxia Empire, it will be a headache.

But Wei Ke knew very well in his heart that that mysterious organization was more terrifying than the Scarlet Flame Empire.

Serving Ye Shangxian well is much more important than being inferior to the Scarlet Flame Empire.In case Ye Shangxian is happy, and his organization gives some help to Jiangxia Empire, maybe it can counter pressure Chiyan Empire.

"Alas." The prime minister saw that the emperor had already made up his mind, but he sighed uneasy, and stopped persuading him.

"To ask for the Yanyang Banner this time, 'Grand Master Ye' will personally go to the Chiyan Empire, and many other elite officers and soldiers will cooperate. I have already selected the specific personnel, and we can leave at noon today." Emperor Wei Ke ordered again .

This news surprised all civil and military officials.

Just now His Majesty proposed to ask for the Yanyang Banner, they did not expect to move so quickly.

The plan has just been proposed, and it is about to be implemented?And so much trouble, is it worth it?
In fact, everyone knew very well that the so-called "asking for the Yanyang Banner" was to go to a venue to find face.

In the past 200 years, no matter how many times my own kingdom has asked for it, this time it must have returned without success.But every once in a while, ten or eight years, the Jiangxia Empire still has to send someone to ask for one.

why?
Because if the Jiangxia Empire didn't mention it, it would be too easy to provoke.

If you don't pay it back, it's your business, but we still have to ask for it.If we don't, the world might think us cowardly.

——The mentality of the emperors and ministers of the Jiangxia Empire is probably like this.

In fact, it is similar to borrowing money between two people. Even if the debtor does not take the initiative to repay the money, the creditor will still ask for it...

It is precisely because of this that the Jiangxia Empire will not use too much manpower every time it goes to "collect debts".

If you go to one person and return without success, or go to a group of people and return without success, it is better to go to a few less.

But this time, the emperor clearly used a lot of soldiers...

The courtiers couldn't figure it out, but they didn't dare to disobey the king's order, but they looked at Ye Donglai and became less friendly.

"It's all right, let's retreat." With the eunuch's shout, the morning court ended.

All the officials retreated, and some soft hums came to Ye Donglai's ears.

"This time His Majesty suddenly proposed this move, and it is probably related to Grand Master Ye."

"Grand Master Ye, tsk tsk, don't talk about it, as long as everyone knows it well..."

"But I'm still wondering, how could so many people be used for such an innocuous operation? Could it be that His Majesty really intends to successfully recover the Yanyang Banner this time?"

"How is it possible! If you don't come back, it will be 200 years..."

"Could it be that Grand Master Ye wants to play?"

Many officials left in twos and threes, discussing in private.

In their view, His Majesty suddenly made an unexpected decision and appointed Grand Master Ye as the leader, which must have been requested and promoted by Grand Master Ye.

It is absurd and nonsense for Grand Master Ye to do this!
