The Emperor is Above

Chapter 170 Anyone who dares to object will be killed

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

Old Man Shi couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, with unstoppable excitement in his eyes.

“I have heard people talk about the ancient saints who were able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away. I didn’t believe it before, but now I really believe it.

Just these words of yours are worth as much as a hundred thousand armored men. With just a few words, you can crack the conspiracy of the Black Wind Tribe and make them suffer a great loss.

Boy Yi, you are truly a peerless talent. Why don't you come with me to meet the king and tell him your analysis in person? Not only will you be promoted to the rank of senior officer, but you will also be granted the title of senior official without any difficulty."

A first-rank grandmaster is also known as a national guardian grandmaster or a protector of the country. Such a high evaluation is enough to make anyone smile and be overjoyed, but there was no joy on Qing Yi's face.

"Old Man Shi, there is no need for me to go to the capital. If you cannot convince the king and the ministers, it will be useless for me to go!"

Qing Yi shook his head slowly, but firmly rejected the good intentions of Mr. Shi. He continued,

"A blacksmith must be strong himself. To completely resolve this impending catastrophe, I cannot do it with just a few words. I must confront it head-on with my true strength. It will cost blood and lives.

Only if the monarch and the ministers work together and seize the opportunity to severely damage the Black Wind Tribe that launched the attack first, can the Ghost Witch Tribe and the Cat Ghost Cult be frightened and deterred.

The Black Wind Tribe suffered a severe blow, and the Cat Demon Cult and the Ghost Witch Tribe began to hesitate and retreat. The barbarians in the Oze who were plundering the capital would be isolated and helpless, and only then would there be a chance to completely annihilate them.

Only when the barbarians who were wreaking havoc in the capital were completely dealt with, the Black Wind Tribe was repelled, and the Ghost Witch Tribe and the Cat Demon Cult were intimidated, would the Xianyu tribe give up completely and withdraw its troops.

If the king and the ministers continue to fight among themselves and fail to inflict heavy damage on the Black Wind Tribe immediately, even if they are only in a temporary stalemate with the Black Wind Tribe, the State of Xing will still be besieged and destroyed at any time."

Hearing Qing Yi's words, the joy on Old Man Shi's face instantly disappeared, and his wrinkled, thin, dark face gradually became solemn, especially his eyes became more resolute.

He said in a heavy and solemn tone: "Boy Yi, I understand what you mean. You take care of Niuniu in Guqiu for a few days. I will return to the capital now.

It is imperative to let the monarch and the ministers understand that the State of Xing is in danger of life and death. No matter whether it is the Marquis of Xing or the ministers, they must put aside their prejudices and work together to face the outside world.

If they are still short-sighted and only care about fighting for power and profit without considering the overall situation, even though I am old, I will not be afraid to kill people.

There are many vassal who want to be the Lord or the Vice Lord, and there are even more princes who want to be the King. Anyone who dares to object will be killed, and even old man Qianye can’t stop it. "

When Old Man Shi said the last sentence, his face was as cold as frost, he held the long sword at his waist, his eyes were full of murderous intent, even Gongsun Wu and others who were a hundred steps away could not help but shiver.

The two giant young men, Wang Mangqiji and Wang Mangqubing, looked at Old Man Shi in astonishment and doubt. They didn't understand how such a dark, thin and short old man could have such a powerful aura.

Qing Yi stood in front of Old Man Shi, but he seemed to be unaware of anything. He nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Old Man Shi. Niuniu will be fine with me. I will wait for you to bring good news."

Old Man Shi left with an extremely firm determination. He did not ride his second-grade ferocious bird, the Snow Owl, but sent the Snow Owl to the capital to deliver the letter first. He personally escorted the convoy to the capital.

Dozens of high-wheeled vehicles were filled with horse-drawn harvesters, more than 2,000 heads of wild people, hundreds of dejected wild people prisoners of war, and three dying priests of the Black Wind Tribe and the Cat Demon God.

Gongsun Wu, Dongmen Hu and Dongmen Bao, with twenty private soldiers and fifty militiamen, were responsible for escorting Qing Yi's military achievements to the presence of Xing Hou.

"Brother Qingyi, why don't you follow Old Man Shi to the capital to meet the king in person? I remember you mentioned several times before that you wanted to ask the king in person to enter the Imperial College." Wang Mangqiji, who was 17 feet tall, stood behind Qingyi and asked in a puzzled voice.
"With your great contributions and Mr. Shi's status, the king will definitely allow you to enter the Imperial College and promote you to the rank of junior doctor."

Qing Yi stood outside the village of Guqiu, watching the convoy go away. When he heard the giant boy's question, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Qi Ji, do you know that there is a saying that good birds choose trees to inhabit, and good ministers choose masters to serve.

In order to seize military power, Lord Xing wrestled with the other nobles but eventually compromised and chose to sacrifice me, a nobleman, without caring how much help I had brought him.

If I were just an ordinary noble, how could I have survived in Guqiu until now? Even if I was not killed by the people of Daze, I would have died at the hands of the nobles sooner or later.

From this we can see that Lord Xing appears harsh but is timid, likes to make plans but lacks decision-making, is cautious about his own safety when doing great things, and forgets his life when he sees little profit. He is truly unfit to be a ruler.

I also know that if I agree to go to the capital with Old Man Shi this time, Lord Xing will definitely show me some favor for Old Man Shi's sake.

But Qi Ji, you must know that favors are the hardest to repay in this world. However, Lord Xing gave me something that clearly belonged to me as a reward, and even asked me to bear the favors of him and Old Man Shi.

Therefore, I would rather choose not to go to the capital. My military merit this time is enough to be promoted to the rank of senior sergeant. Why should I get involved in endless favors for the title of junior official?
Moreover, the autumn harvest season is also a time of great disaster and crisis. Since it is a crisis, there are dangers as well as opportunities. I want to be promoted to a junior official with my military merits, and I want to enter the Imperial College with this.”

"In this way, Brother Qingyi, you can get what you want, and you won't owe any favors to Lord Xing. You don't have to worry about Old Man Shi asking you to do something out of favor in the future."

Wang Mangqiji was lost in thought, but Wang Mangqubing said quickly, "Brother Qingyi, do Brother Qiji and I owe you a favor as well?"

Qing Yi was choked up and said, "Qubing, you are wrong. We are good friends and brothers. How can we owe you a favor?

Besides, don’t you and Qi Ji like Bo Ai and Jiang Ji very much, and get along well with Daniu, Xizi, Huaimu, Mengzi, and Erhei?”

Wang Mang Qubing thought seriously for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Brother Qingyi, you are right. I really like Guqiu and the big family in Guqiu. This is my and Brother Qiji's home. It's not like I owe you a favor."

Qing Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This simple giant boy was almost corrupted. It would be better to let them play with other children in the future.

"Ouch——"

Wang Mang Qubing wanted to say something but was interrupted by the roar of the tiger.

I saw Niu Niu riding a huge spotted tiger and running towards me, holding a little white fox in her arms, and a chubby civet cat squatting on the tiger's head.

"Grandpa ran away again without telling me. He didn't even have time to play with me. Humph, I won't play with him next time!"

Niu Niu was tired from playing with the civet cat and the little fox, but found that Old Man Shi had already left. She immediately pouted and started yelling unhappily.

Qing Yi smiled and picked up the unhappy little girl: "Don't be angry, Niuniu, grandpa will be back to accompany you in two days, and brother will take you to see Aunt Jiang Ji's garden."

Jiang Ji's garden was the first place where star spirit grasses, spiritual herbs, and spiritual medicines were cultivated. Ever since the return of the battle with the Dragon Claw Sophora Tree Spirit, Qing Yi discovered that it had changed tremendously in a short period of time.
