Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 516 This Yelang Is Not That Yelang

As soon as he got the news that Zhuang Yan and Lu Lian were coming to trouble Wang Mang, Qin Mengyao rushed over immediately. Qin Mengyao was fast enough, but he didn't expect that the speed of the fight here was even faster.

Qin Mengyao originally thought that only Wang Mang could take down Zhuang Yan in Daqin, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that Huo Qubing took down Zhuang Yan with ease, almost like a joke.

Qin Mengyao quickly ran to the front, first bowed to Wang Mang, then looked at Huo Qubing and said: "General Huo, Zhuang Yan is my senior sister, please give me a noodle and let her go this time."

"Who wants him to let go!" Zhuang Yan was furious, but Huo Qubing tapped her neck with the sword in his hand, Zhuang Yan could only stare angrily and dare not speak.

Huo Qubing ignored Qin Mengyao, but looked at Wang Mang, Wang Mang said indifferently: "Let her go first, she won't be able to cause any disturbance with her abilities."

Huo Qubing nodded, took back the long sword casually, and let Zhuang Yan go, but Zhuang Yan was furious. Wang Mang clearly meant to look down on her, and felt that her strength was low. She Zhuang Yan has been so despised for so many years. .

Qin Mengyao stopped Zhuang Yan from continuing to speak with her eyes, looked at Wang Mang and said, "Meng Yao thanked Your Majesty."

"Thanks, I can't talk about it. I am not a murderer, but the disciples of the noble family made a fuss here and damaged a lot of things..." Wang Mang said.

"Your Majesty doesn't need much, Mengyao understands." Qin Mengyao bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Mengyao first apologizes for making a fuss with your majesty's teachers and sisters, please accept Mengyao's apology, and secondly, Mengyao is willing to subsidize Daqin's military expenses A million taels of gold."

Seeing Qin Mengyao being so upbeat, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction. A few pieces of broken door boards would be enough to pay a million taels of gold. Qin Mengyao apologized in person on behalf of Cihang Jingzhai. To a certain extent, there was nothing more he could do.

After receiving the million taels of gold from Qin Mengyao, Wang Mang casually took half of it and handed it to Li Lan, saying, "These count as compensation for your medical expenses from Cihang Jingzhai."

"Your Majesty, isn't this too much?" Li Lan dared not take it. Although he grew up in the palace and was used to wealth, 50 taels of gold was comparable to Daqin's annual financial income. , Li Lan didn't dare to accept it at all.

But Wang Mang said indifferently: "This is what I bestowed on you, if you don't accept it, you are resisting the order."

"Ah!" Li Lan turned pale with shock, quickly took it, pushed the Jinshan down the jade pillar, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Master Long En!"

Wang Mang waved Li Lan to stand up, then looked at Qin Mengyao and said, "The Saintess Qin came just in time, and I just happened to ask the Saintess about something."

"I don't know what your Majesty wants to ask?" Qin Mengyao said.

"I don't know what the Holy Maiden is planning to invade Yelang Kingdom. I am here with an army of [-], and the food and grass money alone is a huge amount every day. If there is nothing else, I will send my army to attack Yelang Kingdom first?" Wang Mang said.

"Attack first?" Without waiting for Qin Mengyao to speak, Zhuang Yan sneered and said, "Without the support of my Cihang Jingzhai, you dare to attack first. With these ordinary soldiers, they have to be sent to Yelang Kingdom before they reach Yelang Kingdom." Went out."

"Really?" Wang Mang said without moving his face, "Actually, I have already sent people to investigate. According to the report of the spies, Yelang is not a big country. If they don't have any cards, I can push Yelang down in a day. country."

"Frog at the bottom of the well, do you think what you saw was the real Yelang Kingdom?" Zhuang Yan sneered.

"Isn't it?" Wang Mang said indifferently: "Whether it is the Yelang Kingdom, you don't count if you say it, but I say it. If I say it is the Yelang Kingdom, then it is the Yelang Kingdom."

Zhuang Yan was a little dazed, Wang Mang's words were a bit convoluted, she couldn't react, she wanted to ask what Wang Mang meant, but she was afraid of being laughed at, so she had no choice but to cast her eyes on Qin Mengyao.

Qin Mengyao looked a little ugly, thought for a moment, looked at Wang Mang and said, "Does Your Majesty not want to fulfill the previous agreement?"

"Fulfillment, my most important promise, the emperor has no jokes, if I promise the saint to attack the Yelang country, I will definitely attack the Yelang country, and I will do better than the saint, my army can completely destroy the Yelang kingdom. Lang Guo." Wang Mang had a smile on his face, but Qin Mengyao knew that Wang Mang was not smiling.

On the surface, Yelang Kingdom is only in the south of Guo State. The entire land area is not as big as Shenmu County, and the population is even more pitiful. Wang Mang's [-] troops marched there, and it was true that Yelang Kingdom was completely destroyed within a day.

But Qin Mengyao knows that the Yelang Kingdom on the mainland is just the Yelang Kingdom on the surface. The real Yelang Kingdom is deep in the small world and occupies a small world. No one knows the real strength of the Yelang Kingdom. Qin Mengyao knows this. Qin Mengyao believes that Wang Mang also knows, otherwise Wang Mang would not say such things at this time.

What Wang Mang meant was very clear. He and Cihang Jingzhai had an agreement to attack the Yelang Kingdom, but they did not say whether this Yelang Kingdom was the ostensible Yelang Kingdom on the mainland, or the real Yelang Kingdom in the small world.

Wang Mang can definitely send his army to attack the Yelang Kingdom next year, and even without the help of Cihang Jingzhai, Daqin's army can wipe out the Yelang Kingdom on the surface, but this is definitely not what Cihang Jingzhai wants result.

Cihang Jingzhai's plan is to let Wang Mang's army invade the Yelang Kingdom in the small world, where they can contain the strength of Yelang Kingdom for Cihang Jingzhai, otherwise Cihang Jingzhai would not be so generous to use Qiling for Daqin Array.

Wang Mang stood there with a calm expression, waiting for Qin Mengyao to speak. A skilled hunter always stands quietly waiting for the prey to throw himself into the net.

"Your Majesty." Qin Mengyao finally spoke first: "Your Majesty and Mengyao both know very well that this Yelang country is not the other Yelang country, and people of the Ming Dynasty don't speak dark words. If your Majesty has any requirements, please speak up. Mengyao's scope of authority Those within the scope of Mengyao's authority can be resolved for His Majesty now, and those outside the scope of Mengyao's authority can also be reported to the elders of this sect for decision."

"I am very pleased that the saint has such an attitude." Wang Mang said indifferently: "I am a person who keeps promises the most, and what I dislike the most is concealing the actual situation. Does the saint know what it means?"

"I don't know." Qin Mengyao shook her head, how could she know what Wang Mang was planning.

"I heard something recently. It is said that Huafang held an auction in Fushan City. At this auction, there are treasures. It is said that the story of chickens and dogs ascending to heaven in the mainland is true. The protagonist in the story, Liu An There was indeed such a person, and Liu An also left a book and a picture, which are said to contain the secret of becoming an immortal." Wang Mang stopped talking at this point, but Qin Mengyao's complexion had already changed when Wang Mang talked about Liu An. changed.

Qin Mengyao looked at Wang Mang in shock, and said, "Mengyao can't decide what His Majesty said."

"It seems that you know." Wang Mang said indifferently: "The matter has come to this point, and the situation is different from what we agreed at the beginning. I mean, the saint is so smart, she must understand."

"Mengyao understands." Qin Mengyao nodded, pulled Zhuang Yan and Lu Lian who didn't know why, and left.

After leaving the courtyard, Zhuang Yan looked at Qin Mengyao angrily and said, "Junior Sister Mengyao, what are you playing dumb?"
