Chapter 4: I haven't seen you for a few months, I miss you so much

Uesugi Tora was not convinced.

Then beat him into submission.

Ye Qi jumped off his horse, pointing the Overlord Spear at Uesugi Tiger.

"Okay, I'll do as you wish, but if I lose again this time, I'm afraid the general will come up with some lame excuses."

"No, if I lose the infantry battle, I, Uesugi Tora, will recognize you as my big brother from now on!"

Ye Qi frowned: "Is the purpose of this competition to become my brother? If you had said it earlier, we wouldn't have to compete, and I would have accepted you as my brother."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials laughed.

Even Zhan Doudou and Haitang Duoduo couldn't help laughing.

The Queen Mother's attitude towards Ye Qi also changed a lot.

What the Queen Mother has always been worried about is that the young emperor would be bewitched by Ye Qi.

In the past two years, the little emperor has been fascinated by Ye Qi's books and often mentioned Ye Qi.

This made the empress dowager a little worried. The little emperor was a girl, and if she fell in love with Ye Qi, things would be difficult in the future.

Inside the playing field.

Uesugi Tora attacked Ye Qi again.

The two men engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Sparks flew as the two spears collided, and the sound of heavy impact was endless.

This time, Uesugi Tiger lasted two rounds.

In the third round, Ye Qi knocked Uesugi Tora's spear away, and the tip of the spear was against Uesugi Tora's throat.

"General Uesugi Tora, what do you think of this?"

"I... give up!"

Uesugi Tora knelt on the ground and said, "Big Brother, please accept my respects!"

"Stop, I didn't say I want to accept you as my brother!" Ye Qi flatly refused.

"But you just now!"

"That was just a joke, General, can't you hear that? Hahahaha!"

Ye Qi laughed loudly, put away his gun and turned to leave.

This battle completely established Ye Qi's reputation as the greatest general of Northern Qi.

Ye Qi also became famous in Northern Qi.

Before this, the people of Northern Qi only heard rumors that there was a general fighting in the north.

Now this general not only conquered the northern border, but also defeated the great general Uesugi Tora. For a time, a large number of Ye Qi fans appeared in Northern Qi.

In the back garden.

Ye Qi, Zhan Doudou and Haitang Duoduo were chatting and appreciating the flowers.

"General Ye, it is rumored that there is a guy named Fan Xian in Qing State. He pretended to be the author of Dream of the Red Chamber and published books about it. His book was published at least one year later than yours. I suspect that an enemy within our ranks leaked the book!" Zhan Doudou said with a serious expression.

Ye Qi took a sip of tea and said, "It doesn't matter. He published Dream of the Red Chamber, and we published Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West, as well as Tang and Song poems."

Zhan Doudou clenched his fists: "I just can't swallow this."

"What's so hard to swallow? Dream of Red Mansions was not written by me, nor by Fan Xian. There's no need to worry about copyright issues."

"But if this happens, our position as the Northern Qi literary center will be in jeopardy."

"Then listen to me and publish these books I gave you."

"Okay, I'll get someone to do it right away. We can make a lot of money by publishing these books!" the little emperor said excitedly.

Seeing the two of them chatting so happily, Haitang Duoduo on the side felt a little depressed.

Ye Qi pulled Haitang Duoduo into his arms: "What's wrong, Haitang? Why don't you say a word?"

This action made Haitang Duoduo blush, and Zhan Doudou also exclaimed like a spectator.

Ye Qi's actions were undoubtedly too avant-garde.

"His Majesty is here, don't be rude!" Haitang Duoduo immediately broke free and glared at him.

Her heartbeat quickened, her chest rose and fell, and a strange feeling filled her whole body.

If she stayed in Ye Qi's arms for one more second, she would fall in love with him.

"Then it would be fine if His Majesty is not here?"

Ye Qi wanted to reach out and hold Haitang Duoduo's hand, but was hit by Haitang Duoduo angrily.

Zhan Doudou coughed twice and said, "You two, stop flirting in front of me." For some reason, Zhan Doudou felt uncomfortable seeing Ye Qi and Haitang Duoduo being so ambiguous.

She felt that she had also fallen in love with this man.

It’s just that Zhan Doudou is too embarrassed to reveal his true feelings.

Zhan Doudou began to change the subject: "Let's talk about business, General Ye Qi, I want to ask you for a favor!"

"Your Majesty, just give your orders. There is no need to ask for help." Ye Qi said with a smile.

Zhan Doudou came up to Ye Qi and said viciously: "I want to ask you to help me get rid of Shen Zhong!"

"Okay, I promise you." Ye Qi answered decisively.

This surprised the little emperor very much.

"Don't you ask why?"

"Is there any need to ask this? The defeat in the war with Qing Kingdom this time has a lot to do with Shen Zhong. His performance is disappointing. Moreover, he is in charge of the Jinyiwei, and everything he does is not conducive to the stability and unity of Northern Qi. Most importantly, he only has the Queen Mother in his eyes, not Your Majesty. It can only be said that he is very ambitious and desires power, but he is short-sighted and not worthy of being reused."

Ye Qi's answer made Zhan Doudou applaud.

"I didn't expect that you, who are in the North, would know so much about the affairs of the court. You spoke my mind right away."

"So how does your majesty plan to get rid of him?"

"Here's my plan."

Zhan Doudou told Ye Qi all about his plan.

Ye Qi nodded: "Okay, let's follow your plan."

In the afternoon, Ye Qi and Haitang Duoduo returned to their mansion.

After returning triumphantly this time, Ye Qi not only received a reward of a thousand gold coins, but also obtained a general's mansion.

The mansion is large enough to accommodate a thousand private soldiers.

This was the privilege given to Ye Qi by the young emperor. Even the great general Uesugi Tora only had the right to 500 private soldiers.

It just so happened that Ye Qi transferred a thousand Snow Dragon Riders from outside the city.

Every time Haitang Duoduo sees these white horses, she can't help but want to touch one.

Ye Qi took Haitang Duoduo's little hand and walked straight to his room.

"What are you touching? We haven't seen each other for so long, don't you miss me?"

"Shameless!"

Haitang Duoduo blushed, and despite saying this, she still followed Ye Qi into the bedroom.

Haven't seen each other for months, and we spent one night together.

Let the relationship between the two heat up again.

It was not until noon the next day that Haitang Duoduo said she had to leave for something.

Ye Qi washed his face and called Wang Jian over.

Wang Jian's eyes had dark circles around them.

Maybe the noise last night was too loud and disturbed him, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

"Sir, the Queen Mother sent someone to look for you this morning, but I saw you were busy so I didn't bother you."

"Queen, what does she want me to do?"

"I don't know."

"Come on, accompany me to the palace."

On the way to the palace, Ye Qi was trying to figure out the Queen Mother's intentions, maybe she was trying to test herself.

In the afternoon, Ye Qi came to the palace and met the Queen Mother.

"General Ye, were you with the Saint last night?"

Ye Qi was shocked. The old empress dowager asked this question even though she knew the answer.

It can’t be that he is looking for trouble with me because he spent the whole night with Haitang Duoduo.

"The Saint and I are in love with each other, and I hope the Queen Mother will grant us the blessing!"

Now that the Queen Mother knows, there is no need to hide it.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You can handle the affairs of love between you two. I called you here today for state affairs."

Ye Qi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. He scared himself first and then gave himself a candy.

But why look for yourself, why do you want to do national affairs?
