Chapter 3: Come and fight, Uesugi Tiger Roars

Shen Zhong wanted to explain himself, but the young emperor told him to step back and not to speak.

Ye Qi wanted to laugh when he saw Shen Zhong's deflated expression.

The removal of the python pattern on his official uniform was equivalent to removing him from his official position, but his position as the commander of the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division remained.

Shen Zhong is currently in charge of the Jinyiwei, which is equivalent to Chen Pingping's Supervisory Office in Qing Kingdom. If the young emperor wants to get rid of this position, he needs to find a replacement.

The heavy matter is over for the time being.

This guy Uesugi Tora shows up again.

He was very unhappy about Ye Qi's promotion to the position of General of the Northern Expedition in just two years.

It took him decades to reach the position of general, but Ye Qi only took two years.

This made him feel a little embarrassed.

Shang Shanhu said: "Since the founding of Northern Qi, the position of general has always been held by a ninth-rank master. I remember that when Ye Qi left, he was only at the third-rank level. Two years later, his strength is at most the sixth-rank. I think it is inappropriate to let him become a general. It will damage the reputation of our Qi country!"

The ministers began to discuss again.

Some people agree with Uesugi Tora's point of view, while others disagree with it.

In short, everyone had objections to Ye Qi's position as general.

The little emperor said angrily, "General Ye's position was promoted step by step through his military exploits. Didn't he say anything when he was appointed? Why are you bringing this up again after General Ye's triumphant return?!"

Shang Shanhu said: "When I was appointed, I was leading troops to fight against Nanqing and did not participate in this matter. Now I feel that this matter is inappropriate!"

Ye Qi rubbed his head and thought it would be better to stay in the North. They were all biting him like mad dogs.

Ye Qi nodded slightly: "General Shangshanhu, I heard that you fought with Nanqing and lost miserably!?"

Shangshan Hu was furious at this, and said anxiously: "The army of Nanqing is not the same as those Nanman. Their fighting power is much stronger than that of Nanman. Don't think that you are going smoothly in the North. When you fight Nanqing, you will lose more miserably than I did! And, General Ye, have you forgotten the point? What I said is that if you are less than the ninth rank, you are not qualified for the position of general!"

Ye Qi smiled and said, "I haven't forgotten the point. I just think it's a shame that General Shangshanhu lost to Nanqing. I heard that they have sent an envoy to Qing for peace talks. At that time, they may have to cede a lot of land~~ Fortunately, I have conquered a lot of land in the north, so I can cede that!"

Ye Qi's words almost pissed Shangshan Hu off: "You~~you, stop talking nonsense!"

"Okay, stop arguing."

The little emperor interrupted their conversation.

"Anyone else, do you have any questions about General Ye's position?"

The ministers were discussing the matter.

There were many people in the court from both the Uesugi Tiger faction and the Shen Zhong faction, and they all held opposing opinions.

The little emperor was now in a difficult situation.

Zhan Doudou secretly looked at Ye Qi with a pleading look.

Ye Qi said: "It doesn't matter. General Shangshan Hu just said that only the ninth rank can be qualified for the position of general in our country's history. If I defeat Shangshan Hu, will I be qualified to become a general!?"

Hey!
This time the reaction of the ministers was more intense than before.

The little emperor also looked a little worried.

Only the Saint Maiden Haitang Duoduo looked as if it had nothing to do with her.

Of course he knew Ye Qi's strength. She had fought with Ye Qi before and didn't gain any advantage. Instead, he took advantage of her a lot.

Thinking of that battle, Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but blush, bah~ hooligan!

Although she seemed to be indifferent on the surface, she was still on Ye Qi's side in her heart. After all, Ye Qi had already taken her body.

"Okay, then you guys just have a fight!" Haitang Duoduo said, adding fuel to the fire.

The ministers immediately seconded the motion.

"Agree!"

"I agree to a fight!"

Uesugi Tora didn't expect that Ye Qi would dare to challenge him.

How could he, a general of the ninth rank, be afraid of a general of the sixth rank?

Could it be that Ye Qi has reached the ninth rank?

Impossible, Uesugi Tora thought there was no such possibility.

He practiced for half his life before reaching the ninth level.

Ye Qi was still at the third rank two years ago. If he wants to reach the ninth rank, it will take at least ten years.

But Ye Qi's confident look made Shangshan Hu a little nervous. "General Shangshan Hu, does this look mean he is afraid?" Ye Qi asked.

Shang Shanhu's body trembled: "How can I be afraid of you? Since you have made this challenge, don't blame me for being rude. When the time comes, the sword will have no eyes. Don't be offended if I hurt General Ye!"

Ye Qi laughed: "It doesn't matter, this is what I want to say to you, General."

The little emperor also made a decision: "In that case, the two generals should compete, and we will discuss the results!"

In this way, the venue shifted from the court to the fighting arena.

This is where the soldiers usually train.

At this time, the Queen Mother, the young emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court had come to this place.

Everyone wants to witness the showdown between the two great generals of Northern Qi.

within the venue.

Uesugi Tora was riding a warhorse, holding a long spear, and riding a top-quality black warhorse.

Ye Qi also held a black spear and rode a red warhorse.

The spear is called Overlord Spear and the war horse is called Red Hare.

They were all obtained by Ye Qi signing in.

During these two years, Ye Qi not only practiced his internal energy to the ninth level peak, but also practiced spear and sword skills.

In a fight, guns are more useful.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Ye Qi’s equipment is not ordinary, but top-notch quality.

That scarlet warhorse was even stronger than Uesugi Tora's warhorse.

"Can we start?" Ye Qi asked.

The young emperor cleared his throat and said, "You two are both great generals of Northern Qi. Be careful not to harm their lives. I hereby declare that the competition begins!"

As the little emperor finished speaking.

The two men charged towards each other on their horses.

A face-to-face meeting.

Ye Qi then used his Overlord Spear Skill to knock Uesugi Tiger off his horse.

Uesugi Tora only has the strength of an ordinary ninth rank.

When one’s strength reaches the ninth rank, each small class is a qualitative leap.

Faced with Ye Qi's superb marksmanship, Uesugi Tiger didn't even have the chance to react.

Uesugi Tora rolled on the ground several times, looking very embarrassed.

A hole was pierced through the armor and the arm was pierced.

Ye Qi finally stopped.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be his arm that was pierced by the bullet.

Everyone was shocked.

The general Uesugi Tora was defeated in one round.

There were exclamations one after another in the venue.

"General Ye deserves the title!"

"General Ye is young and promising!"

"General Ye is mighty!"

"This is not fair!" Uesugi Tora suddenly shouted.

The little emperor asked in confusion, "General Uesugi Tora, what do you think is unfair?"

Shang Shanhu pointed at Ye Qi's warhorse and said, "His warhorse is of better quality than mine. I demand that the warhorse be withdrawn and the decisive battle be fought on land!"

"But General Ye, how is your arm injured?"

"It doesn't matter. This minor injury is nothing to worry about. Without that scarlet warhorse, he is no match for me at all!"

At this time, Uesugi Tora's mind was in a state of confusion, and he even had an illusion that Ye Qiying relied on the power of his warhorse.
