Chapter 1130 Chapter A big show!
"The imperial edict?"

Wang Guang and Zhao Ping's faces suddenly changed when they heard these three words. Facing their incredulous looks, Yang Guoxu said in a very sad and angry tone:
"That's right! It's the imperial edict!"

“The Marshal was under house arrest by Murong Yaonu and Ye Kui. He was unable to convey orders to his subjects. He could only cut his finger and used it as a pen and his blood as ink. He wrote the order to kill Murong Yaonu and Ye Kui on his clothes and ordered someone to deliver it to Lord Ye Tie…”

Seeing Yang Guoxu's sincere words, Zhao Ping was also affected. He immediately stood up angrily and said with a grudge:
"How dare the adulterer and his wife do this?"

Compared to Zhao Ping's anger, Wang Guang was more cautious. He clasped his fists towards Yang Guoxu and said:
"May I ask Sir Yang, where is the Marshal's imperial edict?"

In response to Wang Guang's question, Yang Guoxu exchanged glances with Huang Can beside him, then Yang Guoxu undressed himself and carefully took out a piece of clothing covered in blood from his arms and showed it in front of Wang Guang and Zhao Ping.

The clothes were an ordinary Fengwu Army uniform, and the blood-stained words written on the clothes were, as Yang Guoxu had said, an order to "serve the king and protect him." And at the end of the blood-stained words, there were three large characters written: Ye Mingsheng!
Seeing the appearance of the imperial edict, Zhao Ping no longer had any doubts. He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in a row, then cried and gnashed his teeth and said:

"Marshal, I will save you from this adulterous couple even if it means my death!"

As Zhao Ping finished speaking, Yang Guoxu and Huang Can focused their attention on Wang Guang. Feeling their gazes, Wang Guang hesitated for a moment and knelt in front of the imperial edict, saying in a deep voice:

"I will follow the commander's orders and swear to kill the traitor!"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Guoxu and Huang Can both showed satisfaction on their faces. The next second, Yang Guoxu personally helped Wang Guang and Zhao Ping, who were kneeling on the ground, up and said:
“Because there are still rebellious followers lurking in the army, in order to avoid alerting the rebels and allowing them to harm the Marshal, General Ye Tie instructed us that this operation must be carried out in secret…”

Zhao Ping heard this and said:

"Captain Yang, I will obey your orders without hesitation!"

Yang Guoxu smiled and said:

"General Ye Tie plans to lead his troops to the Ye Mansion on New Year's Eve to rescue the Marshal. In order to prevent the rebels from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, he wants the two of you to cooperate with General Ye Fu of your 14th Division. You must stabilize the situation in the Liangzhen military camp and prevent the rebels from taking advantage of the opportunity!"

Hearing Yang Guoxu say this, Zhao Ping said with some surprise:

"General Ye Fu, does he also know about this?"

Yang Guoxu smiled and nodded and said:

"General Ye Fu is the Marshal's cousin from the Ye family, so he is naturally reliable. Therefore, General Ye Tie also revealed this matter to him. The original plan was to let General Ye Fu convey this information to the two of you, but because of some temporary problems, General Ye Fu entrusted this matter to me and General Huang!"

Zhao Ping couldn't help but sigh at Yang Guoxu's explanation:

"General Ye Tie and General Ye Fu are truly the backbone of our Fengwu Army!"

At this time, Huang Can on the side also continued:

"As long as we can rescue the Marshal this time, we will be great contributors and heroes of the Fengwu Army. We will be granted titles of nobility and prime ministers, and we will be rich and prosperous for the rest of our lives!"

“But if the news leaks out and those rebels who betrayed the Marshal find out, then we, the loyal people, will definitely be liquidated by the rebels. So at this time we must keep the secret and not let any news leak out…”

Hearing the words "glory, wealth, nobility, and appointment as prime minister", Zhao Ping's eyes immediately showed a trace of longing, so in response to Huang Can's instructions, he immediately nodded heavily and said:
"General Huang, rest assured that we will never leak the news. On New Year's Eve, we will definitely help General Ye Fu stabilize the Liangzhen camp and not let the damned rebels take advantage of any opportunity!"

Wang Guang hesitated for a moment and agreed:

"Brother Zhao is right! We are both cautious people and will never make any mistakes!"

After hearing Wang Guang and Zhao Ping's statements, Huang Can and Yang Guoxu were both very satisfied. After explaining some details to them, they said goodbye and left.

After the two of them left, Zhao Ping couldn't contain his excitement and said to Wang Guang:

"Brother Wang, I really didn't expect that General Ye Tie would entrust such a thing to you and me. It seems that you and I must be loyal subjects of the Fengwu Army in General Ye Tie's heart!"

“As long as we can rescue the Marshal this time, we will be great contributors to the Fengwu Army. You and I will definitely be favored and appreciated by the Marshal, and we will surely rise rapidly in the army in the future. I know I don’t have the ability to be appointed as a prime minister, but if I can be granted a title of nobility, it will really bring honor to my family…”

After saying this, without waiting for Wang Guang to reply, Zhao Ping's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking of the scene of him returning home in fine clothes and being awarded a title one day!

Seeing his friend's confident and eager look, Wang Guang hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but say:
"Brother Zhao, do you believe this is true?"

Zhao Ping was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but say:

"Captain Yang and General Huang, you two have come here with General Ye Tie's token and the Marshal's imperial edict. What else do you have to doubt, my brother?"

After saying this, Zhao Ping seemed to realize something, and immediately spoke to Wang Guang with some doubt:

"Brother Wang, are you afraid?"

"If you ask me, with Generals Ye Tie and Ye Fu in charge, this matter will definitely not go wrong. We will definitely be able to rescue the Marshal smoothly and become a great contributor to the Fengwu Army!"

"If I succeed this time, your little brat might become a young marquis in the future, hahahaha!"

Looking at his friend's expectant expression, Wang Guang wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start!
Although Yang Guoxu and Huang Can both spoke with certainty and swore, they even produced Ye Tie's tiger-head token and the Marshal's secret decree as evidence!
But he was still a little skeptical. After all, they had only taken a glance at the tiger-head token, and it was even harder to tell the authenticity of the secret decree...

Yijing, Ye Mansion

There were two piles of memorials that had just been processed on the desk in the study, and Ye Mingsheng was leaning back in his chair, looking a little tired.

However, before Ye Mingsheng could rest for too long, Ye Cheng came in with a stack of memorials. Seeing Ye Mingsheng's tired expression, Ye Cheng hesitated whether to disturb Ye Mingsheng's rest and put the stack of new memorials on his desk.

If it was any other memorial, Ye Cheng would have quietly left to let Ye Mingsheng rest for a while. After all, apart from having lunch and going to the toilet, Ye Mingsheng had been dealing with official documents until now. However, there was one very important thing in this new memorial that needed Ye Mingsheng's immediate signature. So at this moment, Ye Cheng, as the chief attendant, was in a dilemma, not knowing whether he should hand this new memorial to Ye Mingsheng!
Just as Ye Cheng was hesitating, Ye Mingsheng's voice came to his ears.

"bring here!"

Ye Cheng did not hesitate after hearing this. He immediately placed the memorial in his hand on Ye Mingsheng's desk, and then handed the top memorial to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"Marshal, this is the reward for the officials and nobles during the New Year proposed by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites. The officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites argued for several days before coming up with a plan. Please take a look..."

Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng perked up, picked up the memorial and read it carefully. When he saw the total of 157,372 taels of silver, 500 pieces of silk and various other items, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but frowned slightly!
Although compared to rewarding these treasures to generals and ministers who have enough food and clothing, Ye Mingsheng would rather put them into the financial subsidies that the court gives to various provinces.

But Ye Mingsheng also knew that the New Year's Eve in a few days would be the first year after the court in Yijing, and he had to show favor to the people and gather their hearts. Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng picked up the pen, wrote a big "approved" on the memorial, handed it to Ye Cheng and said:

"Let the Ministry of Revenue allocate the money!"

"Yes!"

After saying this, Ye Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still reminded in a low voice:

"Marshal, the remaining matters are not urgent! You should take care of yourself!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded, and seeing this Ye Cheng was very tactful and immediately took his leave. After returning to his job, Ye Cheng began to plan Ye Mingsheng's schedule for the next five days, such as attending meetings and reviewing memorials, meeting with a minister, inspecting some departments, etc.··························

Just when Ye Cheng was thinking about how to make a reasonable plan, he saw the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion, Ye Kui, quickly walked over and asked Ye Cheng anxiously:

"Chengdi, what is the master doing?"

Seeing Ye Kui's serious expression, Ye Cheng said without hesitation:
"The Marshal is reviewing the memorial! Brother Kui, what can I do for you?"

Ye Kui nodded and said:

"I have something important to see the Marshal about!"

Although he didn't know what Ye Kui was doing, Ye Cheng immediately went into the study room again to report. A moment later, with Ye Mingsheng's permission, Ye Kui also went into the study room to report to Ye Mingsheng:

"Your Excellency, Ye Zheng, who was sent by the Ministry of Justice to investigate Qilu, is back! He was attacked and seriously injured, and is now dying!"

Ye Mingsheng was stunned at first, then he immediately ordered:

"Bring Ye Zheng to see me!"

"Yes!"

An incense stick later, two bodyguards carried Ye Zheng, who was wrapped in bandages and unable to walk, to Ye Mingsheng. Although he was pale and looked dying, Ye Zheng was very shocked when he saw Ye Mingsheng.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng also said soothingly:

"Ye Zheng, what do you want to tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng tried hard to say:
“Behind Ye...Qi Lu is Ye..."

Although Ye Zheng tried very hard to tell Ye Mingsheng the truth of his investigation, he was too badly injured and too tired from traveling all night, so he fainted before Ye Zheng could finish his words.

Although Ye Zheng did not finish his words, the few words he said were enough to make Ye Mingsheng realize something. Ye Mingsheng immediately looked stern and thought about Ye Kui and ordered:
"Tell the doctors at the medical school to save him. I want Ye Zheng to be alive!"

"And Ye Kui, send your personal guards to protect Ye Zheng at all times. Don't let anyone hurt him!"

"Yes!"

After receiving Ye Mingsheng's order, Ye Kui immediately had Ye Zheng carried out and began deployment as soon as possible. After thinking carefully for a moment, Ye Mingsheng ordered Ye Cheng:
"Let Wang Xuecheng come to see me!"

"understand!"

Just when Ye Mingsheng gave many orders in succession, Qiqige came to An Miaoyi and whispered something in her ear. Although no one knew what Qiqige said to An Miaoyi, An Miaoyi, who had a lazy look on her face the previous second, immediately became stunned after listening to Qiqige's words, and there seemed to be a little fear in her expression·························
Taking a deep breath, An Miaoyi asked Qiqige in disbelief:

"Are you telling the truth? Is he crazy?"

Facing An Miaoyi's gaze, Qiqige nodded heavily and whispered:
"Madam, it's absolutely true! He killed Sun Jing'an to keep the secret, but I think he realized that the truth will come out. He knew very well that once the matter was exposed, the Marshal would never let him go, and he would definitely die miserably!"

"So for him, since he knows that the Marshal will kill him, he will not just sit there and wait for death. He will definitely give it a try and take the risk!"

Qiqige paused for a moment, then looked at An Miaoyi and said word by word:

"I have heard the news that he wants to support Master Jingren, in the name of Master Jingren..."

"Snapped!"

Before Qiqige could finish her words, An Miaoyi slapped her hard in the face. Then, An Miaoyi said viciously to Qiqige, who had been like a sister to her since childhood:

"You must never have such thoughts!"

"I'm warning you! You must never have such thoughts!"

Qiqige covered her face and said nothing. She just looked at An Miaoyi quietly. She knew that An Miaoyi’s words were not just directed at her...
(I have laid the groundwork for so many chapters, and a good show is finally about to begin. Do you think it has the meaning of a suspenseful mystery?)
