Chapter 1 YU Minren

Yu Minren was the old man's name; Xue Hai Pass held a grand funeral for him.

In reality, from Zheng Fan's perspective, when he issued the order for this "grand funeral," firstly, he was impressed by the old man's integrity and temperament, and secondly, he was giving Sword Saint some face.

Sword Saint was many levels higher than Chen the Great Hero, but the two had many similarities. From the perspective of "sucking up to honest people," there was no essential difference between Sword Saint and Chen the Great Hero.

Before her death, Du Juan dared to entrust her child to Sword Saint, and Sword Saint brought the son of his enemy to break through the siege. His character was truly beyond reproach.

Therefore, if you give this kind of person a few bowls of water, he will definitely give you a waterfall in the future. It's truly a foolproof deal.

But after the matter was ordered and taken over by Blind Man,

The matter immediately deviated from Zheng Fan's original idea.

This wasn't just a grand funeral,

But a truly glorious grand funeral!

Throughout Xue Hai Pass, all soldiers of Jin descent tied white cloths to their weapons, and two thousand cavalrymen led the way, escorting the coffin to burial.

For this reason, even urgent projects were halted, allowing the common people to gather and observe the ceremony.

Everything about the funeral followed Jin customs. In detail, Blind Man personally consulted the elders among the people, striving to be meticulous.

Therefore,

After watching the ceremony from the city wall,

Sword Saint released his crutches and bowed deeply to Zheng Fan.

He bowed to Zheng Fan's courtesy to his clan elder, and at the same time, he bowed to Zheng Fan's great kindness to Yu Huaping.

Lord Zheng didn't engage in any pretense,

He simply said calmly:

"This is what I should do."

After Sword Saint left, Zheng Fan stood alone on the city wall, stroking the parapet with his palm, feeling the temperature of the city wall, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

Sword Saint really doesn't understand politics.

After a while,

Blind Man, who had been busy all day, walked onto this section of the city wall and came behind Zheng Fan.

Without turning his head, he knew who it was from the sound of his footsteps.

Si Niang arrived with her fragrance preceding her,

Liang Cheng walked squarely, Fan Li walked heavily, Xue San walked lightly, A Ming's boots made clear sounds,

Only Blind Man,

Walked with that ease and grace.

"You handled things well," Zheng Fan said.

Although somewhat belatedly, Zheng Fan understood Blind Man's intention in "managing so lavishly."

What was being buried was the Yu clan's patriarch.

The old man pointed out two Qian silver-armored guards,

And then calmly sought a death by a blade.

The whole thing happened in full view of everyone.

Although the old man's head was personally cut off by Lord Zheng, that was to fulfill the old man's wish;

The old man's actions were undoubtedly positive. He affirmed the contribution of Earl Pingye in the Battle of Xue Hai Pass, which was equivalent to affirming the contribution of those Jin surrendered soldiers who guarded Xue Hai Pass with Lord Zheng.

This was a kind of affirmation from the positive side;

At the same time, the funeral was held for a Jin person. The old man's status was noble. No matter how the Yu clan's royalty had declined over the years, in name, they were indeed once one of the most respected identities in the Three Jin lands.

Holding a funeral for a Jin person, letting soldiers of Jin descent come forward to pay their respects, attracting onlookers from the surrounding people, who were mostly Jin people;

This was a huge political show, which could stabilize the morale of the army, and at the same time, win over people's hearts in large numbers.

After all, even if it's said until the end of days, Zheng Fan was of "Yan" descent, a general of Yan, Earl Pingye personally conferred by the Yan Emperor. The essence of being an invader and an outsider, as well as the class opposition in peacetime, was difficult to completely erase.

Since it cannot be completely erased, then find a way to dilute it.

The basic foundation of a warlord never comes from the court's importance and appreciation. Any central government with a normal mind is extremely resistant and repulsive to warlords and local authorities.

The central government's pursuit of centralization is an instinct, and the local authorities' pursuit of autonomy is also an instinct. Between instincts, there may be a period of tacit understanding due to mutual needs, but ultimately, it is an irreconcilable contradiction.

Therefore, from Zheng Fan's perspective, seizing the time to buy people's hearts is of paramount importance.

It would be best to reach the point where, although you are an official of Yan, you can be regarded as one of their own by the Jin people.

Blind Man thought of this and also accomplished it.

"My lord, one thing that satisfies those who need it and also satisfies ourselves is the true win-win situation."

Zheng Fan shook his head and said:

"I'm not so pretentious. What you did is right."

Incorporating political effects into the funeral and making the most of everything, it is indeed a kind of blasphemy to use the dead, but at least the living are actually satisfied.

Lord Zheng is not a person with moral fastidiousness, and at the same time, he is not ungrateful.

Blind Man walked to Zheng Fan's side and said, "My lord, your subordinate and Si Niang have calculated together. Our wealth is quite sufficient, and the military pay is not a big problem. However, the supply of food and other materials, even if we include the transportation from Ying Du and the Ministry of Revenue, we will have a very tight winter."

Being tight is actually a normal state, especially after a major war. The days everywhere will inevitably be very tight.

Being able to prevent people from starving to death is actually considered good governance by those who shepherd the people.

But Xue Hai Pass has higher pursuits. After all this trouble, if we only seek to prevent the military and civilians under our rule from starving to death, then that would be too lacking in ambition.

"At the same time, until before winter, and even in winter, it is expected that there will be a continuous stream of refugees approaching us seeking a way to survive. We will naturally have to accept them, but the burden on food and grass will be even greater.

This year will inevitably be the most difficult year. Our plan is to strive to repair the city defenses before winter, and at the same time, settle more than 90% of the people under our rule.

Then, in winter, we can free up manpower to establish our own workshops, warm up our own merchant teams, and re-operate the system that was originally built in Sheng Le City.

Once the merchant teams are frequently traveling back and forth, the problem of food and various material shortages can be greatly solved."

Because you don't necessarily have to use gold and silver to trade, you can convert it into food and needed materials to "barter," so that those merchant teams will spontaneously become your supply transport teams.

Gold and silver are good, but at critical moments, they cannot be eaten or used to forge weapons.

Previously, in Sheng Le City, there were already signs of this, but with a sudden move, the originally operating system needs to be rebuilt, and this takes time.

At the same time,

If there are no more wars between Yan, Chu, and Qian, the activity of trade will be reopened.

In short, after surviving this year's difficulties, Xue Hai Pass can enter a stage of benign development in the future.

"For food, we can borrow from our neighbors. According to the previous idea, you and Liang Cheng should pay more attention to that barbarian army and train them.

Our neighbor, the Savage friends, are warm and hospitable, and they will never watch us starve."

"I think so too, my lord."

Zheng Fan turned to look at Blind Man and said:

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"No, my lord can go back and rest well."

This surprised Zheng Fan a little. For no reason, Fan Li and Liang Cheng had advanced, but Blind Man didn't want to advance.

However, Blind Man always acted calmly, so Zheng Fan didn't say anything more. He went down the city wall and returned to the temporary residence.

Seeing Zheng Fan return, Ke Shi took the initiative to fetch water for him to wash his feet and helped Lord Zheng wash his feet.

It could be clearly felt that Ke Shi was improving because she even added a foot massage when washing his feet.

He didn't know where she learned it from, but she pressed in a systematic way.

This woman's original life should have been to stay with her husband, who was from a relatively good family, and teach her children until she was old, but because of the war, her family was destroyed, and she had to break away from her original life and start fighting for her own and her children's survival.

"Has Si Niang come back?"

"Reporting to the lord, the madam sent someone back to say that the accounts department is busy today and she won't be back to rest tonight."

Zheng Fan nodded,

After a while,

He said:

"Okay."

"Yes, my lord."

Ke Shi helped Zheng Fan wipe his feet.

Zheng Fan walked back to the bedroom alone and lay down.

At this time, his mind was quite empty, neither sad nor happy, nor feeling any sorrow. After slowly closing his eyes, he maintained this state of mind for a while, and his breathing gradually became steady.

After reaching the sixth-grade warrior realm, the circulation of Qi and blood can be more closely integrated with one's own body. To a certain extent, sleep and entering meditation can be switched almost equally.

In this way, there is a very obvious benefit, that is, as long as you don't have too many distracting thoughts in your mind, the problem of insomnia is almost non-existent.

After Zheng Fan entered the bedroom, Ke Shi carried the hot water into her own room. After pouring the hot water into the bathtub, she took off her clothes and began to bathe.

Her hands wiped her body, feeling the smoothness of her skin, which seemed very sacred and solemn.

There was no joy of normal people bathing, but rather a kind of solemnity before going to the execution ground.

Yes,

It really was going to the execution ground.

She was a widow, and she was lucky enough to stay by Earl Pingye's side as a servant, but what she wanted was definitely not just a maid.

It was precisely because she had experienced a life of wandering and anxiety that she wanted to seize all the opportunities in front of her even more urgently.

She believed that Earl Pingye was interested in her, she believed in her appearance, and she also believed in her body.

Otherwise, when the Savages attacked the city, there were so many refugees on the streets, and there were also many women. Why did Earl Pingye favor her?

She still remembered that she took the initiative to rub her chest against Earl Pingye's hand. Earl Pingye's reaction at the time was really interesting to think about now.

At this thought,

A smile appeared on the corner of Ke Shi's mouth.

At that time, she was really open-minded and a little daring to tease the man in front of her.

But this time…

Ke Shi took a deep breath,

She was very afraid of Si Niang,

Really, really scared,

She knew that she was not that woman's opponent.

People in the mansion called her Madam, but people outside called her Mister Feng.

This was a woman who could do great things for the lord, so she was more powerful than all the women in the inner residence, and her position was even more unshakable.

But today was a good opportunity.

She had to seize this opportunity to make herself a member of the lord's household.

Even if she was just a concubine, even if she had no official status, she would be willing, after all, this was a kind of guarantee!

For this, she was willing to bear the consequences of that woman knowing about it.

"Whirr…"

Ke Shi left the bathtub and put on a black dress.

Then,

She opened the door and walked out.

The front and back houses were separated by a corridor, which was not far away because this was just the lord's temporary residence. After the Earl Pingye Mansion was built, they would move away from here.

The weather was hot, and even at night, it was still a bit muggy, but Ke Shi felt very cool.

But,

Ke Shi walked and walked,

Walked and walked,

The road that would originally only take a moment to walk, Ke Shi had never been able to walk past.

At first, because she had too many thoughts in her heart, she didn't notice the abnormality, but slowly, she realized that something was wrong. Why hadn't she walked out of the corridor yet?

Ke Shi calmed down and continued to walk forward, but the corridor seemed to have become infinitely long, and she still couldn't walk out.

Ke Shi was a little surprised,

She turned around and wanted to walk back, but she walked until her feet were a little sore, and she still couldn't walk out.

Before she got married, she had heard her grandmother talk about being lost in a maze, meaning that when a person entered it, they couldn't walk out no matter how they walked, unless they waited until dawn.

But this was the place where Earl Pingye lived,

Ke Shi felt that even if there were evil spirits in this world,

They wouldn't dare to be presumptuous here, right?

The old people had said that butchers could restrain evil spirits because their bodies were stained with blood. Therefore, butchers couldn't get close. How many lives had Earl Pingye stained his body with? How dare those evil spirits approach?

However, what Ke Shi didn't know was that

On the steps outside the corridor,

There was an infant with hollow eyes standing, and behind this infant, there was another infant wearing open-crotch pants crawling towards here, but he didn't dare to go down the steps. He could only turn his body sideways first, put his lower body down, and then slowly touch the next level of steps with his little feet.

What Ke Shi didn't know was that

In the Earl Pingye's house,

The most,

Were evil spirits.

Mo Wan's mouth showed a ghastly smile.

Everyone emits an aura, and Mo Wan, as a soul body, is naturally particularly sensitive to these auras.

Earlier, when Ke Shi was bathing,

Mo Wan, who was taking care of the child in the backyard, smelled a strong aura of spring and the revival of all things.

Speaking from the heart without external interference, every son doesn't want his dad to find him a stepmother.

Once, Mo Wan had come forward to prevent Si Niang from trying to get close to his dad.

It's just that his dad was too shameless,

He would actually throw him out in advance!

Gradually, Mo Wan acquiesced.

No matter what, Si Niang was also one of the Demon Kings. It was unacceptable, but psychologically, it was still relatively comfortable.

But what was this woman,

How dare she try to extend her dirty claws to his dad's bed?

Outrageous!

Audacious!

Presumptuous!

Don't even think about it!

Just keep walking in circles here until dawn, let you wear nothing inside, you deserve to catch a cold.

Mo Wan turned around,

At this time,

Little Marquis was about to successfully go down the steps,

Mo Wan walked over, picked up Little Marquis directly, and walked back to the bedroom.

From an outsider's perspective,

It was as if Little Marquis was floating in the air,

He seemed to want to play outside a little longer, and from time to time he flapped his little fleshy legs to protest.

Then,

A stone flew over,

"Pa pa pa!"

It hit Little Marquis's butt a few times.

Little Marquis immediately stopped resisting,

He just put his fingers in his mouth and sucked them aggrievedly.

………

"Sigh."

Xue San stretched his waist and walked into a secret room.

Here, the guards were heavily armed. When Xue San came in, every guard stationed here would respectfully salute Xue San, and no one dared to ask what happened to the wound on Xue San's face.

This place was Xue San's nest, or in other words, a devil's den.

Xue San had personally trained a group of people who, during wartime, would act as spies to gather military intelligence, and in peacetime, they would monitor the surroundings, which was equivalent to the military intelligence of this era.

It's just that the scale is not comparable to the Yan's secret service and the Qian's Silver Armored Guards, but who knows what will happen in the future?

Xue San didn't want to come today, but he couldn't sleep at night, so he came over to take a look.

Who knew that as soon as he entered the prison, he saw one of his men squatting next to that older woman, his hand wandering over the woman's body, with an evil smile on his face.

"Third Master."

"Third Master."

The notification sound from outside made that person stand up at once, face Xue San, immediately straighten his back, and shout:

"Third Master."

Xue San pointed his finger at him and said:

"Don't stop, continue, continue."

"No, Third Master, I'm interrogating. This Silver Armored Guard is very tight-lipped. I don't think she will open her mouth without torture."

"Oh? Interrogating, is it comfortable?"

"No, no, Third Master, I……"

"It's okay, it's okay, what are you panicking about? Isn't it just two Silver Armored Guards? In Qian, they are naturally glamorous, and no one dares to provoke them.

But this is Yan land, this is Xue Hai Pass, this is our territory, and we can't tolerate them being arrogant, can we?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Third Master."

"The brothers are also lonely, and it's okay to let the brothers have fun."

"Thank you, Third Master, thank you, Third Master."

Xue San continued to smile at him,

Then he said to the other men around him:

"Take him down!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Several men around him immediately stepped forward and arrested the man who had been fondling the Silver Armored Guard.

"Third Master, Third Master, what's going on, Third Master, Third Master?"

"Hehe. If you want a woman, isn't there a red tent in the city? The sisters in the red tent are waiting for you to take your money to open the business.

If that doesn't work, there are so many refugees outside, and it's easy to marry their daughters, as long as you can provide for their family's food and drink.

But she, and her, do you know who these two people are?

They are indeed Silver Armored Guards, but they are women sent by Qian to our lord. Although the lord will not take them, nor will he accept them, they have already been marked with the lord's mark."

Xue San waved his hand,

He continued:

"Castrate him first, then chop off his hands and feet, and feed them to the dogs."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Don't, Third Master, Third Master, please give the little one another chance, Third Master, Third Master, Third Master, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!!!"

Xue San turned his back, took a piece of mint leaf from the box, put it in his mouth, and slowly chewed it,

"Don't blame me for being ruthless, people who can't even control their own hands and feet will only kill everyone when they go out on a mission in the future.

Take the person out later, don't wash away the blood, I'm sleeping here tonight, it's easier to sleep peacefully with a bit of blood."

………

The next day,

When eating breakfast, Zheng Fan clearly found that Ke Shi was a little strange.

"What's wrong?"

"Reporting to the lord, it's nothing."

"Hoarse throat? Caught a cold?"

"Maybe I slept too comfortably last night."

"Go to the pharmacy to find a doctor to see later."

"Thank you for your concern, lord."

"Yes."

Zheng Fan took a fried dough stick and was tearing it to dip in soy milk when he found Fan Li rushing over:

"My lord, something happened outside the North City."

"North City?"

What could happen to the North City facing the snowy plains?

Zheng Fan didn't bother to continue eating the fried dough sticks, immediately got up and left the mansion with Fan Li.

Riding on the Pixiu and out of the North City Gate, it didn't take long before they arrived at an area less than five miles away from the North City Wall of Xue Hai Pass.

Around, there were already many Xue Hai Pass cavalrymen patrolling.

Here, about hundreds of corpses dressed in Jin clothes were piled up, piled high, and very neatly.

The bottom few layers were male, the middle was female, and the top was children's bones.

From small to large, they were piled up into a pyramid shape.

It should have been the sentry cavalry who went out of the city this morning and discovered this situation and reported it to the higher-ups.

At this time, Liang Cheng happened to be riding back from the north, and next to Liang Cheng was Xue San also riding a horse.

After Liang Cheng rode his horse to him, Zheng Fan lowered his voice and directly asked:

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to suspend the arrangement?

Even if you want to arrange it, just do a little bit of it, why kill so many people just to frame someone?"

Liang Cheng immediately understood what his lord meant and immediately explained:

"My lord, this matter has nothing to do with your subordinate, it was not done by your subordinate."

Xue San then responded:

"My lord, these people are not from our Xue Hai Pass. You can see that their clothes, although they are Jin clothes, are basically tattered. I think they should have escaped from the snowy plains.

Specifically, your subordinate has already sent someone to a nearby small Savage tribe to inquire. Your subordinate has developed a contact there during this period, and we should be able to get intelligence."

Hearing this, Zheng Fan nodded.

Although the main force of the Savages who entered the pass were basically buried in Jin, most of the large number of people and wealth looted by the Savages in the early stage had actually been escorted back to the snowy plains by the Savages before Lord Zheng's strong attack on the Xue Hai Pass gate.

Therefore, there are now a large number of Jin slaves on the snowy plains.

As Xue San said, these corpses that were piled up should be the Jin people who were previously looted back to the snowy plains.

Before long, because the Savage tribe was nearby, and this time it was not just the contact who came, but also the head of the small tribe.

Obviously, the contact in that tribe who was in contact with Xue San should also be arranged by this tribal chief.

This small tribe is called the Hailan tribe, with a population of about one or two thousand, adjacent to the Xue Hai Pass line.

Because it is too close to Xue Hai Pass, this tribe is most afraid, so the chief will use the "contact" method to maintain contact with the Yan people in Xue Hai Pass.

But this time, he should have known that something big had happened, so he came in person, and dared not just let a contact come over to convey the message.

"Hailan tribe chief Hailan Yanggu has met Lord Zheng, may Lord Zheng be blessed with longevity and health, and may the stars protect you."

Zheng Fan was still riding on the Pixiu. After the other party saluted him, he lowered his head slightly, and then pointed to the Jin corpses that were piled up,

And asked:

"Who killed them."

Zheng Fan asked very directly.

"Reporting to Lord Zheng, they were killed by the Naiman tribe last night, and the corpse pile was also piled up by them."

"Naiman tribe?"

Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes and said:

"It sounds a bit familiar."

"Reporting to the lord, the head of the Naiman tribe is the Naiman King conferred by the Yan Kingdom, is…"

"Pa!"

Sitting on the Pixiu, Zheng Fan heard this and directly whipped down, hitting the face of the Hailan Yanggu tribe leader, and a bloodstain immediately appeared on his face.

Hailan Yanggu dared not complain, and even dared not shout in pain, he just immediately knelt down and kowtowed continuously, while shouting:

"The Naiman tribe was originally a medium-sized tribe on the snowy plains, with a tribal population of more than 20,000 and nearly 8,000 archers. Recently, because they have continuously annexed several tribes, the warriors who were damaged in the Jin tribes have expanded their power very quickly.

These Jin slaves, no, these Jin people, escaped from the Naiman tribe last night, they wanted to escape back to Xue Hai Pass, but they were chased by the Naiman tribe's cavalry and shot to death here."

"Then why pile them up?" Zheng Fan asked.

If there were no accident, the head of the Naiman tribe should have been present when the alliance was declared here, so he would have some impression of the tribe's name.

"The Naiman tribe's prince wanted to build a Jingguan (a mound made of enemy corpses) here to let the slaves who dared to escape in the future see the fate of running away."

"Oh, is it for the slaves to see?"

"Yes, yes, Lord."

"Pa!"

Zheng Fan whipped down again, hitting Hailan Yanggu's body.

Hailan Yanggu's body trembled,

He clenched his teeth and dared not cry out.

"Say it again, who is it for!"

Zheng Fan did not wait for Hailan Yanggu to answer,

Directly said in a deep voice:

"This is clearly for Xue Hai Pass to see, it is clearly for this lord to see, it is clearly for Great Yan to see!

Good,

This lord didn't go looking for trouble with him,

He actually dared to take an inch in front of this lord!

Things that don't know how to live or die,

Does he really think this lord is made of clay!"

Saying that,

Zheng Fan directly pointed to Hailan Yanggu and said:

"On behalf of this lord, convey a sentence to the various tribes on the snowy plains. The Naiman tribe has offended the majesty of Great Yan, and their crime deserves to be punished. The iron cavalry of Great Yan will come out soon and flatten the Naiman tribe, and its tribe will be wiped out, and not even a dog or chicken will be left!

The tribes of the snowy plains who dare to help the Naiman tribe will be regarded as having the same crime!"

………

"General, is that Xue Hai Pass in front? It's really majestic, no less than Tuman City," Ke Yan Dongge said with emotion.

Next to Ke Yan Dongge was Jin Shuke.

"Young Patriarch, this is Xue Hai Pass, but Xue Hai Pass is very big. Look, from this mountain range to that mountain range, there are many fortresses and fortresses, which are part of the Xue Hai Pass defense system.

The place where there is a lot of construction is residential.

The Young Patriarch's tribe will also be properly settled. Our lord has prepared enough tents. We will wrong you for a while. Before winter, our lord guarantees that the Young Patriarch and your tribe will be able to move into houses."

"Hahaha."

Ke Yan Dongge laughed,

He said:

"Brother Jin Shuke, you should have stayed in Yan for a long time. Have you forgotten that our barbarian people don't think living in tents is a grievance?"

Hearing this, Jin Shuke also laughed out loud.

But the two of them were laughing together,

Jin Shuke's laughter stopped abruptly.

In front,

A figure rushing over appeared.

Although he was wearing ordinary standard armor,

But the mount he was riding was not an ordinary warhorse.

Ke Yan Dongge also saw the person rushing over,

He pointed to the front,

And said to Jin Shuke next to him:

"Is that a Pixiu beast he's riding? Is Xue Hai Pass so extravagant that even the sentry cavalry can be like this? Hahahaha, can I also ask for one to ride?"

Jin Shuke did not answer Ke Yan Dongge's words,

He immediately dismounted,

He knelt on the ground,

"This subordinate pays respects to Lord Pingye!"

"…………" Ke Yan Dongge.

The person who came was Zheng Fan riding a Pixiu. In the entire Xue Hai Pass, only Lord Zheng was qualified to ride this Pixiu.

Without a trace of mental preparation, Ke Yan Dongge really did not expect that his tribe would see Lord Pingye like this before entering Xue Hai Pass.

For a time, Ke Yan Dongge once again recalled the fear that was controlled by the Marquis of Jingnan in the military camp that day.

His parents and a group of elders are now serving as guards by the Marquis of Jingnan's side!

"Clang!"

Under the panic of the Ke Yan tribe's young master, he fell directly from the horse, and then without regard for the pain, he immediately knelt down towards Zheng Fan:

"The Ke Yan tribe's young patriarch, Ke Yan Dongge, pays respects to Lord Pingye, may Lord Pingye be blessed!"

The group of Ke Yan tribe warriors and nearby tribesmen around Ke Yan Dongge also froze for a moment when they saw this, and then followed their young patriarch to kneel down to the person who came.

"Are you Ke Yan Dongge?"

Zheng Fan held a horse whip and pointed to the kneeling man in front and asked.

"Yes, the lowly people are Ke Yan Dongge, the lowly people are terrified, we should have waited for the lowly people to lead the tribe into Xue Hai Pass and then kneel down and enter the city to pay respects to you, Lord, how dare we trouble Lord to come out to greet us in person, it really makes the lowly people and all the people of the Ke Yan tribe…"

"Stop talking nonsense, this lord has no time to talk to you."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes."

"Ke Yan Dongge, in the name of Xue Hai Pass's General and His Majesty's appointed Earl Pingye, I order you to immediately gather the warriors of your tribe and listen to this lord's orders."

"Yes, Ke Yan Dongge takes the order, the Ke Yan tribe is willing to die for the lord!"

Ke Yan Dongge immediately ordered his subordinates around him to immediately summon the tribe's adult male warriors without error.

At this time, Jin Shuke, who had already stood up, deliberately walked to Zheng Fan's Pixiu's side, looked up at Zheng Fan and asked:

"Lord, is this going to?"

In fact, this was also Jin Shuke's intention to deliberately show off his relationship with Earl Pingye in front of Ke Yan Dongge and the Ke Yan tribe.

After all, everyone was a barbarian, although they were not from the same tribe, but people in foreign lands were considered fellow villagers, so Jin Shuke wanted to let them see the privileges and intimacy of this lord's confidant.

How should I say it,

It was simply another version of Zheng Fan in front of the Marquis of Jingnan.

When Jin Shuke asked this question, Ke Yan Dongge also pricked up his ears to listen. His tribe had not yet entered Xue Hai Pass, and Lord Pingye had come alone to mobilize the army. Who were they going to fight?

After assigning Ke Yan Dongge and seeing that Ke Yan Dongge was very obedient, Zheng Fan's expression became more friendly when facing Jin Shuke's question,

He pointed to the north,

He said:

"There is a small child in the north who is disobedient, and we are going to spank him."

At the same time, as if knowing that Ke Yan Dongge was also listening, Zheng Fan said seriously:

"Also, let this lord see if the barbarian cavalry can deal with the Savages."

Ke Yan Dongge immediately hit his chest and roared:

"The Ke Yan tribe warriors will never let you down, Lord!"

Zheng Fan smiled and said:

"Whether it is a mule or a horse, we have to pull it out and show it off;

If the Ke Yan tribe fights well, this lord will bestow you cattle, sheep, and fine wine, and the treatment will be the same as the regular army under this lord in the future;

If the majestic barbarian cavalry can't even deal with the Savage tribes, then go back to where you came from as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured, Lord, we will fight to the death!"

Ke Yan Dongge made a military pledge, and Jin Shuke, as a barbarian, also knelt down with Ke Yan Dongge, after all, this was related to the status of the barbarian component soldiers in Xue Hai Pass in the future.

"Good, I hope you will all use your lives well and show your prestige.

You must know,

At the beginning,

It was the Great Prince who knelt down in front of this lord and begged me bitterly, before this lord had to agree to take in his dowry. But if you are useless, don't blame this lord for not giving the Great Prince face! After all, my Xue Hai Pass is definitely not a place to take in waste!"
