Chapter 938: Chapter 938 Recruited A Puppet
Prince Liang also knew that this kind of thing couldn’t be rushed.
Usually, it would take a few years to plot such a big thing, and it would take some time for it to erode the other party’s forces bit by bit.
"At present, you can occupy Emperor Ning’s territory first. After Emperor Ning’s kingdom was destroyed by you, the Royal Management only sent a marquis with no garrison."
"That is the edge of the land. It just so happens that it will echo your Yonglie Island and even the Devil Region in the future." Prince Liang finally reminded Ye Liuyun.
After appreciating it, Ye Liuyun immediately returned to Yonglie Island. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Prince Liang watched as Ye Liuyun left and muttered, "This kid has developed too quickly! It’s time for me to make preparations and move somewhere else. Otherwise, Liuyun would look down upon me sooner or later if I stay here."
He realized that the location of Hawkline Island was very awkward.
Once Ye Liuyun took over the Devil Region, Hawkline Island would become the only island occupied by an external force within Ye Liuyun’s sphere of influence.
At first, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t say anything, but there might be some unforeseen events as time went on.
Therefore, Prince Liang decided to make early plans and find a good place for himself.
After Ye Liuyun returned, he immediately ordered Qin Peng to send troops to Emperor Ning’s territory. He even brought Captain One-eyed with him.
Ye Liuyun’s fleet drove all the way to the house of the new marquis, Yonglie Mansion.
The new marquis, Marquis Ningyu, was Commander Yuqian. He relied entirely on the support of his family to get such a position as marquis and to maintain his reputation.
At this moment, he was worried about recruiting the private army in the Yonglie Mansion. He had no money, and no one could help him.
Suddenly, the butler came to report that a large army had driven over. Commander Yuqian was shocked and quickly went out to check.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in Yonglie Mansion?" Commander Yuqian asked hesitantly.
"Duke Yonglie, Ye Liuyun, is here to pay his respects to Marquis Ningyu!" Ye Liuyun sent a voice transmission unhurriedly.
"Duke Yonglie, Ye Liuyun?" Commander Yuqian thought for a moment, then immediately remembered.
He even cried out in surprise. "Ah? Are you Ye Liuyun, who killed Emperor Ning?"
He didn’t know Ye Liuyun at first, but his former leader, Emperor Ning, was killed by Ye Liuyun.
Although he had just arrived, he had heard about it a long time ago.
Now, when Commander Yuqian saw that Ye Liuyun had brought his army over again, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
He thought Ye Liuyun was going to grab this piece of land from him and prevent him from staying here!
As a result, he said fearfully, "Duke Ye, I can leave immediately if you don’t want me to stay here!"
Ye Liuyun had the courage to kill Emperor Ning, so it wouldn’t take much effort to kill him. Commander Yuqian didn’t dare confront Ye Liuyun head-on.
Ye Liuyun looked at him playfully but did not reply.
He was thinking about how to take advantage of Commander Yuqian for his own use. It would be fine if he were driven away, but it would be slightly inappropriate for him to occupy this place.
When Commander Yuqian saw that Ye Liuyun didn’t say anything, he thought Ye Liuyun wanted to kill him. With a plop, he immediately knelt down.
"Duke Ye, I’ve just arrived without knowing anything. I have nothing to do with Emperor Ning! My title is just a name with no power. Please let me go!"
Ye Liuyun laughed in his heart when he saw that Commander Yuqian was simply too cowardly.
Just as well, Ye Liuyun could find a puppet to work for him. In this way, he could occupy this place for a justified reason.
"Marquis Ningyu, what are you doing!" Ye Liuyun first walked over and helped him up.
Then, he asked him with a smile, "Marquis Ningyu, why don’t you invite me in?"
"Ah?" Commander Yuqian was at a loss, but he didn’t dare to refuse and hurriedly said, "Please, please. Duke Ye, please!"
As he spoke, he led the way for Ye Liuyun like a servant.
Qin Peng, who was behind Ye Liuyun, followed Ye Liuyun into Yonglie Mansion with a group of elite soldiers. It was as if he had entered his own home, and no one dared to stop him.
Outside the Yonglie Mansion, the two thousand elite soldiers lined up neatly. Although they stood still, no one dared to approach them due to their aura.
As for the remaining 30,000 soldiers, they did not get off the warships at all.
The butler of the Yonglie Mansion took a look at these elite soldiers and immediately knew that this army was definitely not composed of ordinary soldiers.
As a result, the butler didn’t even dare to show his face, let alone let them move somewhere else!
After Ye Liuyun entered, Commander Yuqian directly led him to the main seat and served him as a VIP. Then, he went to pour tea and hold a banquet to entertain Ye Liuyun.
"Marquis Ningyu, don’t be so busy. Let’s get down to business!" Ye Liuyun spoke.
"Very well, please go ahead, Duke Ye!"
Commander Yuqian didn’t know what Ye Liuyun was going to say, but he was still a little nervous.
Commander Yuqian was still thinking in his heart. He would be willing to hand over all his belongings as long as Ye Liuyun could spare his life.
"Ask the servants to leave!"
Ye Liuyun took the initiative to give instructions when he saw Commander Yuqian didn’t react.
It wasn’t that Commander Yuqian hadn’t thought of it. It was just that he was slightly afraid and wanted his servants to accompany him as well as boost his courage.
Now that Ye Liuyun had said so, he naturally didn’t dare stay any longer. He then immediately let the others leave.
Qin Peng sensibly led the soldiers to block the door in case someone accidentally broke in.
When Commander Yuqian saw this, he instantly knelt down again and took out his Interspatial Ring. He held it in both hands and handed it to Ye Liuyun, begging him to spare his life.
Ye Liuyun truly looked down on such a coward as him to see such a situation.
Anyway, he just needed a puppet, so he didn’t need to be very capable.
He also said directly to Commander Yuqian, "As long as you sign a master-servant contract with me, I will let you be the master of this place. You are still the marquis, and you must promise not to reveal our master-servant relationship to outsiders."
"I only need to garrison here for trade. When business has developed, you will be a part of it. Your life will be better, and there will be garrisons here to guard it. What do you think?"
After thinking for a while, Commander Yuqian finally understood what Ye Liuyun meant. He relied on his courage and asked, "Does Duke Ye mean that you want me to be a puppet?"
"That’s right!" Ye Liuyun didn’t stand on ceremony and admitted it.
"I don’t have much ability, and my position as marquis was promoted by my family with money..."
It wasn’t that Commander Yuqian was afraid of signing a master-servant contract. In fact, he didn’t mind becoming a puppet who didn’t have to worry about anything and could earn money.
However, he was worried Ye Liuyun would kill him if he didn’t do well in the future.
Ye Liuyun didn’t like to listen to him, so he interrupted and said directly, "I don’t expect you to do anything. I just want to use your title by making it more justifiable. As long as you don’t affect my garrison and business!"
"Then, I’ll give it a try. If there’s anything wrong, you must give me more advice!"
When Commander Yuqian saw the displeased expression on Ye Liuyun’s face, he didn’t dare to continue speaking any longer.
