Chapter 57: Chu Qiwan's army arrives after receiving the military power

Chu Yang took over Wang Meng's words, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Wang Meng completely understood Chu Yang's plan and couldn't help but admire him!

This tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife is really extremely clever!

He couldn't help but sigh, "Your Highness is brilliant! This not only solves our problem, but also allows the Third Prince to bear the charge of 'indiscriminate killing of innocent people'. It really kills two birds with one stone, brilliant!"

Chu Yang smiled proudly, picked up the teacup, took another sip of the fragrant tea, and said to himself.

"Chu Qi, Chu Qi, if you want my military power, I will give it to you. However, you have to accept it carefully, because it is not a good thing!"

A few days later.

Outside the city of Nanling, flags were waving, dust was flying, and a huge army was slowly approaching.

Leading the group was the majestic Third Prince Chu Qi, who rode a tall horse and wore golden armor.

Apparently, as Chu Yang expected, Chu Qi did not go directly to Qiongzhou to take over, but instead stayed in Nanling City to observe the situation.

Little did he know that Chu Yang of Nanling City had already arranged for two old foxes, Sima Yi and Xing Daorong, to welcome him!

"Prince, Nanling City is just ahead!"

Next to Chu Qi, a young general in silver armor pointed at the big flag with the word "Sun" planted on the distant city wall and said respectfully.

"finally reached!"

Chu Qi looked at Nanling City in the distance, a burning light flashed in his eyes. He had been waiting for this day for a long time!

"You ask Sun Fengtian, the county magistrate of Nanling City, to come out and tell him that this prince wants to stay here for a few days and learn about the situation in Qiongzhou."

"promise!"

After receiving the order, the young general immediately spurred his horse, whipped the whip, came to the city gate, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"The Third Prince Chu Qi has been ordered to go to Qiongzhou. He needs to rest here for a few days as he passes through a precious place! Where is County Magistrate Sun? Why don't you come out to greet him as soon as possible!"

The defenders on the city wall looked at each other, all confused.

"Oh my, what kind of evil has happened to our Nanling City recently? The Seventh Prince left just a few days ago, and the Third Prince is here again?"

"Who says it's not true? These princes and grandchildren are usually so precious, why do they have to come to our poor and remote place?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and report to City Lord Sun that the Third Prince has arrived!"

soon.

A burst of hurried horse hoof sounds was heard, and Sun Fengtian, wearing bright silver armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, riding a tall horse, rushed to the city gate in a hurry.

Chu Qi looked down at Sun Fengtian, and seeing that he was dressed like a military general, he couldn't help but frowned and said the same thing as Chu Yang!

"Are you the official in charge of Nanling City? Why are you, a mere county magistrate, dressed like a military commander? Are you planning a rebellion?"

Sun Fengtian was so frightened by Chu Qi's sudden questioning that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly got off his horse, knelt on the ground, and spoke tremblingly.

"Your Highness, please understand! I am loyal to the court and have no second thoughts!"

"It's just that Nanling City is located in a remote area, and bandits are rampant."

"In order to protect the country and the people, I have no choice but to wear armor and carry a sword. I hope the Third Prince will understand!"

After hearing this, Chu Qi's expression eased slightly, and he said calmly: "Get up. In this case, take this prince to the city to settle down."

"Yes, yes, Third Prince, please!"

Sun Fengtian felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly got up and respectfully welcomed Chu Qi into the city.

All the way.

Chu Qi observed the scene of Nanling City calmly. Although the city wall was still tall and solid.

However, the streets in the city were quite deserted, with few pedestrians, and many houses and shops had their doors closed, making the city look very depressed.

"Lord Sun, this Nanling City seems..." Chu Qi hesitated to speak.

Sun Fengtian smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing, "To be honest, Third Prince, Nanling City was once considered a prosperous place, but since the banditry a few years ago, the people have been displaced and merchants have fled. Now, nine out of ten houses are empty and the people are living in misery."

Chu Qi nodded slightly and thought to himself: It seems that the situation in Nanling City and Qiongzhou is worse than I thought!

Entered the city.

Sun Fengtian settled Chu Qi and his party in the county government office, and ordered people to prepare a banquet to entertain Chu Qi.

After three rounds of drinks, Chu Qi put down his glass and asked casually.

"Sir Sun, I have long heard of your virtuous name. Today I am passing by your precious place. May I ask you something?"

Sun Fengtian burst into laughter upon hearing this and said, "Third Prince, you are joking. How can the Seventh Prince be worthy of the word 'virtuous'? In fact, he is just an uneducated and unskilled dandy!"

"Oh? What do you mean?" Chu Qi asked with pretended curiosity.

Sun Fengtian rolled his eyes and lowered his voice and said, "To be honest with you, Third Prince, the Seventh Prince Chu Yang came to Qiongzhou this time, saying that he wanted to govern the place, but in fact, he wanted to marry my cousin!"

"Marry your cousin?" Chu Qi pretended to be surprised.

"you do not say!"

Sun Fengtian slapped his thigh and said indignantly, "I don't know where that guy heard about my cousin's beauty and insisted on taking her as his concubine."

"Who is my cousin? She is a fairy from heaven! How can she be defiled by a playboy like him?"

"But the Seventh Prince is still a prince, and I dare not offend him, so I have no choice but to..."

Having said that, Sun Fengtian paused deliberately, with a sly smile on his face.

"What can we do?" Chu Qi asked.

"I had no choice but to play along, pretending to agree to his request, and then took the opportunity to blackmail him!"

Sun Fengtian said proudly, "That guy spent a lot of money to marry my cousin. Not only did he send me countless gold, silver and jewelry, he also gave me all the soldiers he brought with him!"

"Oh?"

Chu Qi's heart moved, and he asked calmly, "He gave all his personal soldiers to you?"

"you do not say!"

Sun Fengtian said complacently, "That kid is obsessed with sex, how can he care about whether his soldiers are his own? Now, besides a few personal guards, there are only some old, weak and sick people left around him, hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qi curled up the corner of his mouth in an imperceptible sneer.

It seems that this seventh brother is really a complete idiot!

But he became alert in his heart, feeling that this was some trick of Chu Yang!

"Lord Sun, can you let me meet the so-called Chu Yang's personal soldier?"

"it is good."

Sun Fengtian nodded, and then ordered: "Let General Xing come to meet the Third Prince!"

"Yes."

An attendant took the order and left.

Soon, a sturdy man walked in.

The armor on his body seemed to be unable to contain his obese body. The fat on his body trembled when he walked, and his face was filled with a greasy smile.

"General Xing Daorong pays respect to the Seventh Prince."

Xing Daorong clasped his fists and saluted, but this action on his body looked like he was bowing to ask for a reward.

Apparently he's been eating and drinking for free in Nanling City and his figure has gotten out of shape!

Chu Qi looked Xing Daorong up and down, secretly amazed. Why did this commander of Chu Yang's personal soldiers look like a fat pig?

"Get up, I heard that you are Chu Yang's personal soldier, oh no, a general, but why are you here?"

Chu Qi asked in a puzzled tone, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Hahaha, the Seventh Prince is joking. I am not a great general. I am just a rough man serving the Third Prince."
