Chapter 365

When Su Yelei treated Tang Yin's wound, the two were very close. Looking at Su Yelei who was so close to him and smelling the unique medicinal fragrance on her body, Tang Yin was a little confused and unconsciously reached out his hand and touched her waist.

Su Yelei saw his hand reaching out to her, but she did not make a sound. She just suddenly increased her strength and the curved needle pierced deeply into Tang Yin's flesh.

She gave Tang Yin an anesthetic, but the dosage was not large, and the anesthetic effect of the anesthetic at that time was also very limited. Tang Yin felt the sudden tingling on his back, and his mind suddenly sobered up. His outstretched hand also paused in the air. He raised his eyes to look at Su Yelei and found that she was looking at him with contempt with a cold face. Tang Yin's old face suddenly turned red, and he laughed awkwardly and said, "Doctor Su is wearing beautiful clothes today." As he spoke, his hand in the air also retracted in a hurry.

Su Yelei almost laughed out loud. Her outfit today was no different from usual. It was rare for her to see Tang Yin in an awkward situation. It was very interesting. With an innocent expression on her face, she said slowly and nonchalantly, "I was careless just now and put the needle in a little too hard."

"Oh, nothing. Just be careful next time." Tang Yin swallowed his saliva and responded casually. He turned his head to the other side, closed his eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Tang Yin was very cautious and would not easily let down his guard in front of outsiders. He knew that Su Yelei had no good feelings for him, and even had a lot of disgust for him. However, from the bottom of his heart, he trusted Su Yelei very much and felt that she would not harm him.

He slept deeply and did not wake up until the afternoon. When he got up, Su Yelei was no longer in the defense, and his wounds had been sutured, medicated, and bandaged. He looked down at the bandages on his body. They were tight and dense. He could feel that Su Yelei was very serious.

He smiled wisely, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.

Now Tang Yin's mansion is very lively, with people coming and going constantly, including soldiers of the Tianyuan Army and many wealthy people who come to visit. This morning, Qiu Zhen had people post all the notices to appease the people. While listing Zhong Tian's various crimes, he also praised Tang Yin and the public morality of the Tianyuan Army, and stated that they were Feng Chen, not rebels, so that the people did not need to panic.

The main force of the Tianyuan Army was not stationed in the city, but chose to be stationed in the camp outside the city, and its purpose was precisely to avoid panic among the people of the capital.

Since the Tianyuan Army entered Yancheng, it has not disturbed the people or robbed property. The officers and soldiers are all well-behaved. Yancheng is no different from usual, and even more stable than when Zhong Tian was in power. This made the people gradually let down their guard, and the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually increased.

In less than a day, Yancheng returned to its former bustle, and the streets became busy again, but the focus of people's discussion was mostly on the Tianyuan Army. When people saw the Tianyuan Army soldiers wearing black helmets and black armor patrolling the streets, they would subconsciously stay away and look around.

Qiu Zhen was very satisfied with this result. After all, the people in the capital were not familiar with their army, and it was not realistic to expect people to accept them all at once. After posting the notice, Qiu Zhen immediately drafted a letter and sent it to the heads of the seven counties, asking them to enter the capital immediately.

Of course, Qiu Zhen wrote a letter in the name of Tang Yin, and his tone was still very polite. Regardless of whether Tang Yin had the strength to be king, whether he was the head of the capital and the four counties, he was nominally only the head of the county, and was on the same level as the other seven heads of the county.

With Qiu Zhen, Tang Yin saved a lot of trouble. As long as the big and small matters were agreed upon, Qiu Zhen could be fully responsible for the execution.

After the Tianyuan Army successfully captured the capital, its ambitions began to double. While resting, it continued to actively expand its army and train. Especially the Tianying Army, due to its low combat effectiveness, it was difficult to be used on the battlefield. Tang Yin ordered Ziying to train the Tianying Army into an elite division in the shortest possible time. If any soldiers quit midway, there was no need to stop them. Soldiers are more valuable than quantity.

Ziying is a steady and competitive person. Moreover, he was born as a general of Zhongtian. He was very worried that the soldiers of other legions would look down on him. After receiving Tang Yin's order, he held back his strength and launched a devilish hard training for the soldiers under the Tianying Army.

Although the training was hard, there were very few soldiers in the Tianying Army who couldn't stand the hardship and wanted to quit. This was all thanks to Ziying's personal charm. He was also good at mobilizing the soldiers' spirit and competitive psychology. The Tianying Army was very united internally, and it could be said that they were of one mind. Even if the soldiers were suffering and tired, they were unwilling to leave.

The Tianyuan Army recruited a lot of new soldiers and assigned them to each army. Not only did they fill the gaps caused by casualties in each army, but there were also many surplus troops. The manpower of each army increased significantly.

In addition, the supplies seized from Yancheng were also staggering. Zhong Tian’s army had difficulty recruiting people, but there was no shortage of military supplies and food. Zhong Tian had been in power for nearly a year, and he had collected countless people’s fat and blood, which now fell into the hands of the Tianyuan Army.

In addition, a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and rare treasures were found in the palace. These were all treasures left by Zhong Tian. According to Tang Yin’s intention, these treasures continued to be stored in the palace. After all, the palace was now firmly controlled by the Tianyuan Army, so there was no need to worry about the loss of treasures.

In the next few days, the Tianyuan Army began to stabilize the situation in Yancheng and began to repair the city walls and the buildings damaged in the siege. At this time, Wu Guang's wisdom in not using large weapons to attack the palace was reflected, and it also saved the Tianyuan Army a lot of trouble.

Qiu Zhen sent all the letters to the heads of the seven counties, but they fell into the sea. Not to mention that the heads of the counties entered the capital, there was not even a reply.

Tang Yin was angry when he heard about this and was about to send troops to attack. However, he was stopped by Qiu Zhen, who felt that it was too early to attack now, and there was no suitable excuse. He needed to wait a while, and after Liang, Wu, and Ziyang returned to the capital to form a new court, he would also send letters in the name of the court. If the heads of the seven counties did not enter the capital at that time, he could justifiably attack.

After listening to Qiu Zhen's opinion, Tang Yin secretly said that it made sense, and his anger was temporarily suppressed, waiting for Liang Xing, Wu Yu, Ziyang Haochun to return to the capital.

Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun now live in Tianyuan County. When they heard that Tang Yin invited them to return to the capital and set up a court, the three of them were naturally overjoyed. No matter what Tang Yin's intentions were, it was better to be in the capital than in Tianyuan County, a borderland.

However, the three of them returned to the capital with their families, and the journey was slow. It took them nearly a month to get to Yancheng from Shunzhou, the county capital of Tianyuan County.

As the three families of Liang, Wu, and Ziyang returned to the capital, they immediately caused a sensation in Yancheng. As Qiu Zhen said at the beginning, no matter how brave and good the Tianyuan Army was in battle, and no matter how great the merits they made in eliminating the rebel Zhong Tian were, in the minds of the people, their weight was still not as great as the three powerful Liang, Wu, and Ziyang.

In the eyes of the people, Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun were the important ministers and pillars of Feng State, and they were the ones who could truly save the country from danger and the people from fire and water. As for Tang Yin, he could only be regarded as an ordinary minister loyal to Feng State.

When the Tianyuan Army entered Yancheng, the people hid and did not dare to come out of their homes until they saw that the Tianyuan Army soldiers did not make excessive actions. However, the fear was still strong. Now Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun entered the city. No one needed to organize them. The people spontaneously walked out of their homes and gathered on both sides of the main street of Yancheng to welcome them.

The attitude of the people towards the three powerful families and the attitude towards the Tianyuan Army were very different.

In order to show his importance to Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun, Tang Yin also came out to greet them in person. Seeing the people's welcome to the three of them, he couldn't help but frowned secretly.

The faces of the generals and counselors of the Tianyuan Army were not much better. People gritted their teeth secretly. They shed blood and sweat, sacrificed many soldiers, and took great risks to fight all the way from Tianyuan County to the capital and scare Zhong Tian away. Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun did not do anything, but they could win the support and support of the people. This was too unfair.

Seeing Tang Yin's cold and gloomy expression, Qiu Zhen sighed and whispered, "The people's ideas have long been deeply rooted and it is difficult to change them in a short time. You don't have to worry too much."

"Yes!"

Tang Yin responded in a deep voice and looked forward. The motorcades of Liang Xing, Wu Yu, Zi Yang and Hao Chun were approaching. The gloom on his face was swept away, replaced by a charming and friendly smile.

When the convoy came close to Tang Yin and others, it slowly stopped. Then, Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun got off their carriages and walked close to Tang Yin. I don’t know if it was the people’s welcome that made them feel confident. They all stood up straight, especially Ziyang Haochun, whose face was full of disdain for Tang Yin. He said in a cold tone: "Sir Tang, long time no see!"

Tang Yin gritted his teeth secretly, but there was no expression on his face. He bowed to the three people and said politely: "Prime Minister Liang, Prime Minister Wu, General Ziyang, I am honored!"

In terms of official positions, Tang Yin was the head of the county, while Liang Xing, Wu Yu, and Ziyang Haochun were either prime ministers or generals, all of whom were higher than him.

When Ziyang Haochun saw Tang Yin saluting, he looked like it was natural. He stood up with his hands behind his back and did not move. He just responded lightly.

Liang Xing was not as overbearing as Liang Ziyang and Haochun, but he was not very enthusiastic towards Tang Yin either, and said lightly: "Mr. Tang, you are too polite."

Among the three, only Wu Yu came forward, stretched out his hand to help Tang Yin up, and praised with a smile: "It has been a long time since we last met, and my nephew Tang is still as elegant and heroic as ever. He led my Dafeng soldiers to drive out the traitors and recapture the capital. He is really admirable and is the first meritorious official of my Dafeng!"

"Ah! Wu Xiang is too kind!" Because of the relationship with Wu Mei, Tang Yin still feels very close to Wu Yu.
