I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

Chapter 27: Is there a love affair between Long Yang?

Under the city wall, the autumn wind blew up gusts of yellow dust. At this moment, Marquis Wuwei's expression seemed even colder than the gloomy sky.

He stared at Fang Yi, whom he had once treated like a piece of grass, and his heart was filled with not only surprise but also incredible anger.

The powerful strength and aura that Fang Yi exuded completely overturned Marquis Wuwei's impression of Fang Yi.

"Evil creature, how dare you be so arrogant!"

Wu Wei Hou gritted his teeth, his words mixed with a bit of unwillingness.

"This Yunzhou City has been the territory of the Fang family since ancient times. What you said about usurping the magpie's nest is simply nonsense!"

Wu Minbo, who was standing nearby, witnessed this scene and became furious.

He puffed out his chest and refuted bluntly.

"Marquis Wuwei, do you really think that everyone in the world is ignorant? The truth about the northern border has long been known to His Majesty. And you are still stubborn and unyielding. Do you really want to wait until His Majesty's wrath is unstoppable before you repent?"

When Marquis Wuwei heard this, an arrogant smile appeared on his face, as if everything was under his control.

"The title of Marquis was conferred by the previous emperor. It is an iron rule that cannot be violated from generation to generation. Even if I lose Yunzhou today, I can get it back tomorrow. Wu Minbo, you are just a scholar, and you want to touch the foundation of our Fang family? You are too confident."

After he finished speaking, Marquis Wuwei's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, and he said in a cold voice: "If you still insist on doing it your way, don't blame me for being ruthless. My family's 50,000 elite soldiers are enough to flatten this small Yunzhou. By then, the life and death of the people in the city will all depend on your decision."

Upon hearing this, Wu Minbo's face turned pale and he was furious.

"As a minister of the Great Zhou, how can you use the safety of the people as a bargaining chip? Where is your conscience?!"

Fang Yi stood quietly aside, watching the fight coldly. Until this moment, he finally spoke. Although his voice was soft, it was extremely firm.

"Since Marquis Wuwei is determined to fight, I, Fang Yi, will not back down. But today's battle is not just my personal battle, but also the defense of freedom and dignity of the people of Yunzhou City!"

Afterwards, Fang Yi turned around and shouted loudly to the group of Yunzhou children who had experienced war but remained resolute and unyielding.

"Warriors of Yunzhou, do you still remember the Marquis Wuwei who once abandoned you and now intends to make a comeback? He wants to move into Yunzhou City, will you agree?!"

Fang Yi responded with a thunderous slogan, like thunder breaking through the sky. "No!"

Fang Yi raised his head and laughed, full of pride.

"Okay! Since you are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with me, then today, let us fight to the end for Yunzhou and for the land under our feet!"

"Yes! I swear to defend Yunzhou City till my death!"

The people's oaths echoed in the air, turning into an irresistible force, condensing the determination and courage of the entire Yunzhou City. A battle of honor and survival was about to begin.

On the other hand, on the Fang family army's side, Marquis Wuwei was equally confident.

After all, he had an army of 50,000 while the other side had less than 10,000.

No matter how he calculates, he is sure to win this battle!

However, he forgot that it was this 10,000-strong army that defeated the Jurchens!

Just when the tense atmosphere was like a dense dark cloud, almost suffocating the entire Yunzhou City, a sudden sharp sound pierced the dull air.

"My lords, please don't be angry. I have come here specially to ask you to calm down your wrath!"

Following this penetrating voice, the two teams that were ready to go looked at the same time, and saw a team of more than ten people slowly approaching from outside the city.

In the center of the team, a man dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a handsome face but a cunning look, was gracefully getting off an ornately decorated carriage.

He was none other than the powerful eunuch in the imperial palace - Eunuch Wenxi.

As a local official who was well versed in the inner workings of the palace, Wu Minbo understood Wen Xi's intention almost the moment he appeared. This eunuch, who seemed gentle but actually held great power, was the most trusted confidant of the current Emperor Taining.

On the other side, Marquis Wuwei recognized Wen Xi at a glance and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that today's battle would be in vain.

Seeing this, Wu Minbo reacted quickly and gave decisive orders.

"Let go of your guard, the whole city should go out to welcome the imperial edict!"

For a moment, the originally tense atmosphere seemed to ease a little, and everyone was busy preparing to welcome the envoy from the imperial city.

Eunuch Wenxi walked slowly to the center of the confrontation between the two sides. His leisurely pace formed a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere around him.

He smiled like a gentle breeze in spring, and his whispers were filled with authority that could not be ignored.

"Shou Wu and Marquis Wuwei, both of you are here to help the emperor. Why would you go to war against each other? If the emperor knew about this, I'm afraid he would be disgraced."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Wuwei spoke first, his words containing a hint of sarcasm.

"Alas, Eunuch Wenxi, it's not that I intend to cause trouble, it's just that Governor Wu is too overbearing. He even blocked me from entering his own fiefdom. After all, Yunzhou City is still the territory of our Fang family!"

How could Wu Minbo allow the false statements in his words to spread, and he immediately refuted them.

"Eunuch Wenxi, I have already reported the cause and effect of the incident to the court in detail. The truth of right and wrong will be known by the people."

After hearing this, Wen Xi laughed, and there was some unknown depth in that smile.

"Don't worry, my Lord. I know what's going on. I came here in compliance with His Majesty's order to mediate the dispute and calm the people."

After saying this, Wen Xi glanced at the crowd on both sides and asked, "Sir Wu, I wonder which one is General Fang Yi?"

Fang Yi broke the silence at this moment.

He stepped out from behind the crowd with determination and said in a clear voice, "Sir, Fang Yi is here. Thank you for your concern!"

Wen Xi looked at Fang Yi carefully and suddenly frowned.

"Hiss...why does this little guy look so familiar?"

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly looked shocked.

He actually looks like Your Majesty when he was young!

Wen Xi was shocked and looked at Fang Yi's face carefully.

Fang Yi felt creepy when Wen Xi looked at him.

After all, being stared at with such a burning gaze by an eunuch would easily lead anyone to misunderstand the meaning.

You know, many eunuchs have special hobbies.

"Eunuch Wenxi?"

Seeing Wen Xi looking at Fang Yi so obsessed, Wu Minbo couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

"Cough cough..."

Wenxi finally recovered from the embarrassment of Manager Zhen.

He looked at Fang Yi's face carefully again, and finally couldn't help but sigh.

"Good, good! You are truly a young hero, a pillar of the country! The future of Yunzhou, and even the world, will probably be changed because of you."
