Chapter 162: Reunited with Yan Lingji and conquered Baiyue!

Yan Lingji was nervous and her thoughts were in a mess.

Following the Qin soldiers, she came to Ying Ziye's residence.

"Please wait here for a moment. I will go and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The soldier motioned to her and then stepped into the house.

"Your Highness, the people of the Baiyue Zhurong tribe request to see you!"

"Bring her in!"

Yan Lingji heard their conversation clearly, and the prospect of meeting her old friend again made her uneasy.

As footsteps sounded, her slender fingers unconsciously clenched, her knuckles turning white.

After a while.

The soldier appeared in front of Yan Lingji and made a respectful invitation.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you. Please come in!"

She took a deep breath and stepped into Ying Ziye's room.

Ying Ziye's handsome, majestic and otherworldly figure came into her sight, and she couldn't help but compare him at this moment with him in Xinzheng.

He is more handsome, more powerful, more mature and more noble.
Yan Lingji felt that the current Ying Ziye seemed to be very high up, completely different from the Xinzheng Ying Ziye of that year!

And she
It seems that nothing has changed except age.

The comparison between Ying Ziye in front of her and herself now made Yan Lingji feel a little inferior for some reason.

At the same time, Ying Ziye was also looking at Yan Lingji.

Her delicate and charming face and graceful figure made Ying Ziye instantly travel back to Xinzheng more than ten years ago. Time seemed to have left no trace on Yan Lingji's face.

Just like when we first met.

"Little Fire Girl, we meet again," Ying Ziye said softly, his tone full of emotion, surprise and joy.

Never thought about it.

They met again under such circumstances.

When she heard the name "Little Fire Girl", Yan Lingji's eyes suddenly sparkled with tears. That was the nickname Ying Ziye gave her when he first met her.

once.

For this reason, Yan Lingji had complained to Ying Ziye countless times.

just
But it sounds so familiar at this moment.

"Yes, we meet again!"

"But."

"You are now the high and mighty Crown Prince of the Empire, and I..."

"Still the same."

Yan Lingji's voice was bitter and humble. She felt that she was no longer qualified to stand by Ying Ziye's side.

"Isn't it better not to change?"

"Hehe, do you want to become an old lady?" Ying Ziye asked jokingly.

""you"

"Humph!"

"You're still so annoying!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji's eyes widened, she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and looked very angry, as if she wanted to bite Ying Ziye hard.

next moment.

Ying Ziye walked closer to Yan Lingji and gazed at her affectionately.

"Little Fire Girl, don't leave me again, okay?"

Feeling Ying Ziye's deep gaze, the anger in Yan Lingji's heart dissipated like smoke, and was replaced by a warm sweetness, and her cheeks were faintly flushed.

She uttered a word softly, like the sound of a stream: "Okay!"

Yan Lingji's soft voice lingered in Ying Ziye's ears, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if making up for his unfulfilled wish in Xinzheng.

As the leader of the Zhurong tribe, Yan Lingji's decision means that the entire tribe will follow Ying Ziye and submit to the Qin Empire. The Zhurong tribe is quite influential in the Baiyue land. When many tribes that are still hesitating heard that they would submit to the Qin Empire, the leaders rushed to Shaxian City and expressed to Ying Ziye their determination to lead the tribe to be loyal to the Qin Empire.

Within just ten days, most of the Baiyue tribes responded and surrendered, but only a dozen remained stubborn.

In response to this, Ying Ziye did not hesitate and severely punished the rebels!
This move made the surrendered Baiyue tribes respect Ying Ziye and be glad that they had made a wise choice instead of foolishly resisting.

After unifying the Baiyue, Ying Ziye immediately established this place as the Baiyue County of the Qin Dynasty, and immediately wrote a letter to Xianyang, requesting Ying Zheng to send capable officials from the Ministry of Personnel to govern this land.

Although conquering Baiyue was a piece of cake for Ying Ziye, governing them was a thorny issue.

Compared with other counties in the Qin Dynasty, Baiyue was much more complex.

Not only is the terrain rugged, but the customs and habits of each tribe also vary, making governance difficult.

Talented officials must be appointed to do the job!

Ying Ziye elaborated in detail in his memorial the complex situation of Baiyue and the ability requirements for officials.
Xianyang City, inside the Zhangtaiyan Hall.

King Ying Zheng of Qin and his civil and military officials were holding a court meeting. Meng Yi, the commander of the imperial guards, walked into the hall and respectfully reported to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver a memorial!"

"The prince's memorial?"

"Send it over quickly!"

Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

Normally, Ying Ziye would not easily send letters to Xianyang. Once he did, it must be something important, and all of them were good news!

In the last letter, the Qin Dynasty added the Loulan County; and in the last letter, it implemented the "One Whip" law to discipline the nobles and powerful families, which made the national treasury several times full!
I wonder what kind of surprises this time will bring?
A moment later, a soldier of the Dragon and Tiger Imperial Guard who was participating in the Eastern Tour walked into the hall under the guidance of Meng Yi.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"According to the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I present this book to His Majesty!"

After saluting, the soldier held high the exquisite memorial in his hand, which was carefully made of rice paper.

"Han Fei, please read it to me and the ministers."

"Haha, let's see what good news Midnight has brought us."

Ying Zheng smiled and asked Han Fei to read it out, already convinced in his heart that this was good news.

"Yes!"

Han Fei stepped forward and gladly accepted the mission, eager to reveal Ying Ziye's heroic deeds during his eastern tour.

Taking the memorial from the guard, he glanced at it quickly and a smile gradually crept onto his cheeks.

That's right!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has once again accomplished something that shocked the world!

"Reporting to the Emperor: When I was on a tour to the east in Chu, I heard that Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and the remnants of the Nong family rebels had colluded with the Baiyue tribes to cause chaos."

"I will lead the army immediately to conquer and wipe out the enemies of the empire!"

"In the mountains of Baiyue, I killed Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and all the Nong Clan disciples, and completely destroyed the Nong Clan's power!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng suddenly shouted: "Okay!"

Then he burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Ziye is really my good son. He avenged the shame of Gubolangsha for me! Well done! Well done!"

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang once joined forces with the Mohist school and the Xiang clan to assassinate him in ancient Bolingsha, and Ying Zheng held a grudge against them.

Now that I hear this news, how can I not be happy?

Han Fei paused for a moment, waited for Ying Zheng to calm down, and then continued reading:
"After suppressing the rebellion of the Nong family, I took advantage of the situation to conquer the Baiyue land and established the Baiyue Commandery."

"However, the land of Baiyue is complex, with numerous tribes and different customs. I implore you to select officials with excellent character and outstanding talents from the court to govern Baiyue County."

"Let the people of Baiyue be integrated into the embrace of our Great Qin Empire as soon as possible."

"Your son Ying Ziye, respectfully presents you!"

wow——

After Han Fei finished reading, the whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes were full of surprise!
Listen!

Does this sound like something a human can do?!
What does by the way mean?

That’s Baiyue!

That is a land that is more difficult to conquer than the Huns, with extremely complex terrain. How easy is it to conquer it?
