The Emperor is Above

Chapter 522: Wow, this is sixteen-year-old Yaqing!

People tend not to cherish anything that is easy to get.

Qing Yi doesn't dare to say that he has a very good understanding of human nature, but he also understands the most basic principles.

In the process of cultivating spiritual plants in the Dragon City's burial mound, tens of thousands of people were mobilized to participate in the process. While they worked hard, they also reaped the benefits of a rich harvest.

Only the people on both sides of the Hutiao River will cherish the fruits of their own efforts and will not cut down the trees recklessly in the future.

Therefore, Qing Yi planned to continue to let everyone in Yangwu City and Gaoling City participate, even the common people who had just migrated here were no exception.

Even so, Qing Yi cannot guarantee that everyone will take care of the spiritual plants, so there is a tree spirit every five miles in the spiritual plant belt. It is both the core tree species and the guardian of the spiritual plant community.

After hearing Qing Yi's plan, Tian Bin and Beigong Yu were shocked and delighted at the same time. They certainly understood how grand and huge this project was, which would benefit the present and future generations. If it could be completed, it would go down in history.

After watching Tian Bin happily leave, Beigong Yu smiled thoughtfully and said, "My Lord, this plan really kills two birds with one stone. It can win the hearts of a large number of people.

It can also disrupt the hundreds of thousands of people around Yangwu City and Xuanwei City, and take the opportunity to sort out the nobles who have different intentions, so as to completely control every village and community below. "

"Mr. Beigong, it's good that you understand these things. I'll leave Yangwu City to you!" Qing Yi smiled gently, turned his head and looked north, "I will prepare to return to Longcheng Fengtu tomorrow."

The next day, Qing Yi did not leave successfully. Ten falcons arrived at Yangwu City early in the morning. The captain of the Flying Eagle Camp, Xu Zhengjia, brought good news again:

"Brother Yi, congratulations. The king and Old Man Shi heard that you won two great victories and completely wiped out the Ghost Witch Tribe, so they promoted you to the rank of Second Lord and granted you a fief of seventy li, an increase of the original fifteen li, and an additional fifteen li.

This is a fiefdom of 100 li in radius, equivalent to a high minister of a country. By the way, Tian Bin also made great contributions in defending the city, and was promoted to the rank of senior official and vassal. "

"Good boy, sixteen-year-old Yaqing!"

Tu Shigu's eyes widened. This old man knew in his heart that the title was just an empty reputation to Qing Yi, but he could do nothing about the fact that conferring titles and ministers had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years.

Shen Buhai, Shen Bumie and other coalition generals almost popped their eyes out: "A sixteen-year-old Yaqing, this is unheard of in the eight hundred and sixty-two years of the Great Shen Dynasty!"

Even when Yang Lezi Shangqing opened his mouth, he was already prepared for this, but he still felt depressed, because no one could say a word of objection.

After all, Qing Yi was promoted to the rank all the way based on his solid military achievements, and he wiped out the wild people in Jiming Lake, the ghost witch tribe, and killed the evil god and ghost king along the way.

If the State of Xing promoted its vassal lords based on military merits instead of age, then even if Qing Yi was directly promoted to Shangqing, it would not be excessive and might even be considered unfair.

Thinking of this, Yang Lezi Shangqing felt even more depressed, and even murmured in a guilty tone: "The Xianyu army will come again before or after the autumn harvest. If Longcheng Yi Yaqing defeats King Xianyu, he will at least be awarded Shangqing for his military exploits!"

After a great battle with the Ghost Witch Tribe, Yang Lezi had no doubt that Qing Yi could defeat King Xian Yu. Even Old Man Shi's eldest grandson was a guest official under Qing Yi.

He even thought that after the hundreds of thousands of Xianyu troops arrived at the border town, they would be wiped out again. He wondered if he could take advantage of the opportunity to gain more merit.

Many people around were filled with emotion when they heard Yang Lezi Shangqing's mutterings. The sixteen-year-old Yaqing had already shocked the world, and they were afraid that another sixteen-year-old Shangqing would appear soon!

Xu Zhengjia also had mixed feelings. He had almost witnessed Qing Yi's rapid promotion to the rank of a nobleman. In just one and a half years, he was promoted from the lowest-ranking commoner to the rank of a second-rank minister. He was also happy for Qing Yi: "Brother Yi, according to the etiquette, all of you who have been promoted to the rank, including the two senior ministers Huo Yun and Yang Lezi, must return to the capital to meet the prince.

After the ceremony of vassalage, the king personally went on stage to appoint them as Shangqing, Yaqing, and Shaoqing, and from then on they assisted the king in managing the administration and conquest of Xing State.

However, King Xianyu is now leading hundreds of thousands of troops southward, and will arrive at the border defense line around mid-September. The Gaocheng Fortress of the Dai State will also find it difficult to resist the coalition forces of the Yuezhi people and the foreign ethnic groups.

From now on, the northern border will be the front line against foreign enemies. After seeking advice from Old Man Shi, the prince decided to wait until the war is over before inviting you to the capital to hold the vassal ceremony. "

"Thank you, Lord, for your concern!"

Qing Yi asked with a warm smile, "Brother, how is the war preparation in the capital now? Are there any unusual movements in Chongguo and the Black Wind Tribe?"

"The Chongguo army has currently conquered 70% of the territory of the Liuguo. Marquis Liu fought desperately to defend the capital and is still holding on. There are also two cities to the east that have not fallen.

However, this was also because Chong Hou was afraid that Liu Hou's death in battle would provoke the princes of other countries, so he did not attack Liu's capital, but intended to force him to surrender. "

Xu Zhengjia shook his head slightly, obviously not optimistic about the fate of Liuguo, "Since the Black Wind Tribe established the Black Wind Kingdom, the barbarians from all countries in the Northern Wilderness have joined them.

There are also some larger settlements of wild people, which now claim to be favored by the evil gods. There are now seventeen divine kingdoms of various sizes in the entire Northern Wilderness.

In addition, in various countries in Zhongzhou, followers of evil gods and ghosts often gather to rebel, claiming to re-establish the kingdom of gods and ghosts on earth, and now everything is in chaos. "

The news brought by Xu Zhengjia is hard to calm people down. Even if the Ghost Witch Tribe is completely wiped out, it is impossible to prevent evil gods and ghosts from causing chaos. Qing Yi can only take care of his surroundings first.

The army continued its journey with mixed feelings. The road from Yangwu City to Feixiong Bay was very easy. The ten-zhang-wide road was extremely flat, and there were transplanted trees on both sides to provide shade.

The Hutiao River not far away was filled with a refreshing breeze, and ships could be seen traveling on the river from time to time. When they arrived at Feixiong Bay, the allied soldiers were surprised.

The fleet led by Huaimu was loading cargo. Huge pieces of engineering machinery were protected and loaded onto the ship by huge cranes. These were tools for building the city of Gaoling.

Today, Feixiong Bay is no longer the desolate place it once was. With a large number of Chinese people fleeing, it has quickly become a small town with a population of nearly 10,000.

The warriors of the Feixiong tribe were very happy. Taking the rewards given to them by Qingyi, they turned into shopaholics in the town. After a crazy shopping spree, they followed their leader Xiongxin back to the territory in the mountains.

"Chief Xiongxin, don't forget to lead the warriors to Dragon City to seal the land at the end of September. By that time, we will have almost completed the autumn harvest."

Qing Yi's sincere invitation was rewarded with cheers from Xiong Xin and the warriors of the Fei Xiong tribe, but the soldiers of the coalition army were a little confused, and some princes and generals kept muttering in their hearts: "What's so strange about the autumn harvest? What ignorant barbarians."

With such mixed feelings, the allied soldiers were surprised to pass through the mountain road which was ten feet wide in the mountains. There was a spacious resting area every ten miles, and there were also excavated stone caves for sheltering from the rain and camping.

Before reaching the Dragon City, some allied generals were shocked: "What kind of scent is so strong and fragrant? It seems to have the scent of spiritual energy."

When Shen Buhai, Shen Bumie and others who were following Qing Yi in the front turned a corner and saw a sudden opening in front of them, each of them was stunned.
