Straight man of steel

Chapter 134 Dazzling Palace

Zhang Yuan asked Tang Meng while Yelang Hou Duotong was leaving.

"Can we take all the soldiers to the palace in the center of the city?"

Tang Meng showed a look of embarrassment.

"I'm afraid not."

Although Duotong didn't mention this matter, looking at it now, it's a bit whimsical to directly drive an army of more than a thousand people into other people's palaces regardless of the people of Yelang Kingdom.

Zhang Yuan thought for a short while and immediately ordered.

"Mr. Jifu followed me and brought all the armored soldiers in the army into the county seat. General Lang and Huang Changshi are directly stationed here. If we find that we are fighting with the soldiers of Yelang Kingdom, we will immediately lead our troops into the city."

The tallest building in the county seat is this palace, and the entire palace can be seen from the entrance of the valley.

Zhang Yuan is not worried whether Tang Meng and Huang Changshi will come to the rescue. He represents Liu Che's face now. If he dies in Fu County, Tang Meng will definitely die. If he is lucky, Tian Fu will not be spared. he.

Tang Meng lowered his head and thought for a while, silently calculating the feasibility of Zhang Yuan's plan. He still had absolute power over the army. If he refused, Zhang Yuan would not be able to command the thousand army.

"According to what the envoy said, the general will definitely guard this place, the envoy will not leave the city, and the envoy will not let anyone leave."

"Okay, Mr. Jifu, let's go."

Zhang Yuan picked up the reins and followed the Yelang soldiers brought by Duotong towards Fan County.Followed by more than 100 well-equipped armored soldiers, as well as officials of the mission, although the number is smaller, it can still attract the attention of the surrounding Yelang people.

The city of Fu County is about the same size as Jiangzhou City, and nearly [-] people of the Yelang Kingdom live here. The huge stone palace is surrounded by thatched huts, big and small, surrounded by stars and moons.

Zhang Yuan was far away before, and Zhang Yuan had no way to fully appreciate the beauty of this palace. After getting closer, Zhang Yuan discovered that this palace was built entirely against the mountain.

The waterfall on the mountain should be the Yelang people who built a dam in the middle of the river to divide the river into two. When the whole waterfall fell down, it only splashed water mist on both sides of the palace.

Coupled with the dazzling sunlight, Zhang Yuan was able to see two rainbows. The places where these two rainbows disappeared happened to be the location of the main hall.

The people of the Han Dynasty are all ignorant to Zhang Yuan, let alone the people of the Yelang Kingdom.

If these people don't know the principle of light refraction, they may always worship the owner of the palace as a god.

"Is it true that the Yelang Kingdom is so rich?"

Ji Fu couldn't feel the beauty of the palace. His eyes were always on the water channels in the palace.

I don’t know whether Duotong did it intentionally or it was just the custom of Yelang Kingdom. The canals were filled with gold sand and colorful gems.

Sparkling can no longer be used to describe it. When Zhang Yuan saw so many objects that could fully refract light, all he felt was dazzling.

Duotong, who was still sitting on the sedan chair in front, heard Jifu's words, and the corners of his mouth curled into a slap.

Zhang Yuan said to Ji Fu disdainfully.

"I told my husband before that gold and gemstones are just good-looking. If there is no meaning given to it by the nobles, it is just some useless stones.

You see that Marquis Yelang was able to put precious stones and gold sand in these canals, but he couldn't make the people of Yelang Kingdom under him eat enough and wear clothes. Do you still think these things are useful? "

Zhang Yuan now looks at Duotong with only pity in his eyes. Obviously, this tribal chief in a remote mountainous area does not understand the truth of not revealing his wealth.

Before entering the main hall, all the armored soldiers who came with Zhang Yuan were stopped outside, and Zhang Yuan could only bring Ji Fu, Erdan, Zong Xing, and Li Jianhuo into the main hall.

Duotong, as proud as a peacock, stepped onto his chair made of pure gold.

In the middle of the throne is a piece of malachite the size of a palm. You must know that even Liu Che does not have such a throne, and the one sitting under the buttocks of the Xiongnu Shanyu is just a tiger skin.

Ji Fu has not concealed the greed in his eyes.

Being in such a palace, the most test is the willpower of people. Once the greed deep in human nature cannot be restrained, some bad things will happen.

Ji Fu now wants to let Tang Meng lead the army into the city immediately and implement the three-guang policy.

"Marquis Yelang, the emperor sent me here to discuss with Marquis Yelang about recruiting civilian husbands from Jianwei County.

Now that Yelang Kingdom has been designated as a border county of my Dahan, the laws of the Dahan should also be implemented here, including corvee taxes. "

Zhang Yuan didn't know how Tang Meng negotiated with Duotong in the first place, but what is certain is that Tang Meng gave Duotong great autonomy, otherwise Duotong would definitely not agree to give his land to the big man.

Sure enough, Duotong said categorically without even thinking about it.

"No, I, Yelang, have already made offerings every year, so we shouldn't have to bear taxes and corvee."

"Marquis Yelang, under the sky, there is nothing but the king's land; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers.

It is your obligation to make offerings, and Qianwei County is your feudal state. The imperial court will not collect taxes and taxes, they are all yours. As for the corvee, the people of Yelang Kingdom and the people of Dahan should bear the same burden. "

Saying such things in front of a monarch will definitely make him upset, and any monarch will feel that the world should belong to him, not to other emperors or kings or Shan Yu.

"Messenger of the Kingdom of Heaven, if you say this, then there is no need for us to continue talking.

Don't think that I, Yelang, will be afraid of Han. Once Yelang's sons pick up weapons, they are all born warriors. "

Zhang Yuan doesn't know what to say now if he doesn't cry when he sees the coffin.

He originally prepared a set of rhetoric to seduce Duotong.

Including allowing Tang Meng to use a large army to help Duotong complete the armed unification in Qianwei County. There are more than ten tribes around Yelang Kingdom, and the lives of Yelang people are not as happy as they see.

"Since Yelanghou is so confident, I have no choice but to support another Yelanghou. You must know that you are nothing in our eyes."

A smile appeared on Ji Fu's face. He wished that the two sides would fight now, and then let the Han army slaughter the people here, and then transport all the treasures back to the Han.

Duotong became even more angry when he heard Zhang Yuan speak like this, and shouted outside.

"Come here, arrest all these unreasonable guys and lock them in the water prison."

The Yelang soldiers guarding the palace were about to capture Zhang Yuan and the others, but at this moment a man appeared.

"Don't take action yet. Everything still needs to be discussed with Marquis Yelang."
