The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

After filling their stomachs with some food, Hua Wuke and Ye Buhuo said goodbye to the Lord of Yue City.

Before leaving, Song Ping suddenly asked for a meeting.

"Miss Hua San, Your Majesty. Can I...can I go with you?"

Song Ping's face turned slightly red, and he clenched his hands into fists nervously. He asked with some excitement and trepidation.

Hua Wu Ke was somewhat puzzled as to why a native of Yuecheng like him would follow them away.

"Why are you leaving too?"

Song Ping bared his teeth and chuckled, then scratched his head and looked at Ye Buhuo embarrassedly.

He opened his mouth and said:

"I want to follow the Black Iron Army! I can make weapons for the Black Iron Army!"

"Will Song's mother agree to this?"

Hua Wu Ke continued to ask.

Song Ping nodded.

"Mother agreed. She said that a man should have ambitions to go far and wide. She won't hold me back anymore!"

Ye Buhuo looked at Hua Wuke and raised his eyebrows.

Hua Wu Ke then began to explain:

"This is the son of a blacksmith in Yuecheng. He made two hundred arrows in one night yesterday."

Two hundred arrows in one night, especially when there is such a shortage of manpower.

Ye Buhuo nodded silently in his heart, this person will definitely be able to help the Xuantie Army in the future.

"Yorichi."

When Ye Yi heard Ye Buhuo calling him, he understood that this meant he agreed to take Song Ping with him.

With Ye Buhuo's approval, Song Ping was quickly arranged into the team by Ye Yi.

The Lord of Yue City was grateful for the two men's great kindness to Yue City, and personally sent the grain delivery team out of the city.

"Miss Hua, Your Majesty."

"I, Yue, will never forget your great kindness to Yuecheng!"

"If there is a need for Yuecheng in the future, Yuecheng will not be delayed!"

After bidding farewell to Lord Yue, the two led their team and rode at full speed towards Beimo Pass.

As the two were riding side by side on the road, Hua Wu Ke suddenly thought of Anyang City.

"Why did the Acting City Lord suddenly ask you to return to Anyang City?"

Hearing this, Ye Buhuo's eyes turned cold and he replied:

"It's the North Country."

Four days ago, Ye Buhuo had just arranged for people to escort Hua Wuke and food back to Beimo Pass, and he brought Ye Yi back to Anyang City.

On the way, the deputy general reported to Ye Buhuo what happened in the city.

Basically, there was a conflict among the businesses in the city that came from all over the place.

Ye Buhuo lowered his brows when he heard it.

Ye Yi also didn't understand, he said:

"Conflicts between businesses have happened before. Why does the prince have to intervene this time?"

Although the deputy general tried his best to report everything in detail, it was not his job to manage the city's affairs after all, so he only knew the general idea of ​​the whole thing.

He said, "I only know that among the companies causing trouble this time, there are several imperial merchants affiliated with small countries. I don't know the others either."

Ye Buhuo nodded calmly, and then quickened his pace to Anyang City.

In less than two hours, Ye Buhuo returned to Anyang City.

The horse rushed through the city gate, but did not stop. Instead, it continued to run towards the city lord's mansion.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Acting City Lord Zuo Yunqing had been waiting outside the door.

As soon as he saw Ye Buhuo, he came forward.

Holding his robe in one hand, he walked forward quickly.

He bowed with both hands and then quickly released them.

After a hasty salute, Zuo Yunqing said:

"Your Majesty."

Ye Buhuo nodded lightly as he got off his horse.

After getting off the horse, Ye Buhuo did not linger outside the door. He walked into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion while listening to Zuo Yunqing's report on what happened in Anyang City.

"During the New Year's Day, a troupe of actors suddenly came to the city."

Zuo Yunqing said.

This opera troupe came from foreign countries. At this delicate moment in the relationship between the Night Kingdom and the North Kingdom, Zuo Yunqing didn't want to let them into the city.

But as the New Year is approaching, it would be a pleasure for the people in the city to watch a good play during the Spring Festival.

Moreover, this troupe came from the direction of Beimo Pass, and since they were allowed to pass through Beimo Pass, their identities must be correct.

Taking this into consideration, Zuo Yunqing let them into the city and hired them to sing a song for the people of Anyang City on New Year's Day.

On the day of the opera performance, just as Zuo Yunqing had imagined, the people were very curious about this foreign opera and the streets were filled with cheers.

Anyang City celebrated a very lively New Year because of the arrival of the opera troupe, which was something Zuo Yunqing was happy to see.

But a pity.

"I didn't expect that not only the common people were interested in this troupe, but also businesses from all over the country would come and join us."

It was already late at night when the troupe finished their performance. After the common people dispersed, the officers and soldiers sent by the City Lord's Mansion to maintain order also left one after another.

In order to allow the soldiers who have been busy all year to reunite with their families and have a happy New Year, Anyang City would only send one team of people to stand guard on New Year's Day every year.

Compared with the tight patrol routes in the past, this team seemed much more loose.

But even so, there has never been any trouble in the past.

"Every year, businesses from all over the country stay in Anyang City for the New Year for business reasons. They have always been law-abiding. I didn't expect that this year there would be chaos because of a theater troupe."

Having said that, Zuo Yunqing sighed.

"It was my negligence."

Just at this time, several people had already walked through the corridor and arrived at the study.

In the study, Ye Buhuo sat in the main seat, took the notebook handed over by Zuo Yunqing, and looked through the relevant matters.

Looking at the records in the notebook, Ye Buhuo asked:

"According to your observation, is there anything unusual about the troupe?"

Zuo Yunqing shook his head without hesitation.

"As soon as they entered the city, I sent people to keep an eye on this troupe."

"There is nothing suspicious about his daily behavior."

Hearing this, Ye Yi was very confused and asked:

"If that's the case, why would those businesses have conflicts over the opera troupe?"

Those small subordinate countries have been dependent on the Ye Kingdom for many years and never dared to cause trouble in the Ye Kingdom's territory, let alone the courage to cause trouble in Ye Buhuo's fiefdom.

Zuo Yunqing was unable to answer Ye Yi's question.

He frowned and said:

"I don't understand why these companies suddenly wanted to marry the same actress and almost resorted to violence."

"If I wasn't afraid that those imperial merchants would really have some grudges in Anyang City and bring the matter to the emperor, I wouldn't have asked you to handle this matter personally."

Hearing this, Ye Yi's temples throbbed twice.

So, this is actually to let Ye Buhuo return to Anyang City to arrange a marriage for them?

Just when Ye Yi felt incredible, Ye Buhuo suddenly ordered:

"Call Hu Linxiao."

Hu Linxiao is the leader of the imperial merchants of Hanzhi Kingdom. He is also the one who kidnapped the actor and trapped him in his own courtyard, causing great dissatisfaction among several other imperial merchants.

When the messenger arrived, Hu Linxiao was using threats and bribes to coerce the actor.

"Xiao Xue'er, now that you are in my hands, why are you still angry with me?"
