Ye Yang turned and stepped into the Training Ground, where Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and nearly a hundred Dragon Armored Warriors were gathered in a circle, each holding a Longbow, ready to draw their strings together!
"Clang!"
As the bowstrings resonated, arrows intertwined in the air, energy surged, and the atmosphere was overwhelming. The arrows seemed to have a life of their own, swirling in the air and transforming into the shape of a raging dragon, with the Dragon Roar echoing continuously.
……
"What... what is this?" Ye Yang exclaimed in astonishment.
Zhao Yun stepped forward with the Dragon's Dagger in hand and said solemnly, "Young Master, this is the Dragon Binding Formation. It requires at least ten Dragon Armored Warriors to activate this profound formation using bows and arrows. It was personally taught by Elder Qingxuan!"
Ye Yang's eyes lit up as he couldn't help but ask, "Can this Dragon Binding Formation trap a Starry Sky Expert?"
Zhao Yun couldn't help but chuckle, "Young Master, please take a look. With these one hundred Dragon Armored Warriors working together to unleash the Dragon Binding Formation, hunting down Starry Sky Level experts would be as easy as reaching into a bag. Even Starry Sky Level Two and Starry Sky Level Three experts would have to retreat when faced with such a scale of Dragon Binding Formation. If we didn't possess such power, our Hidden Dragon Hall would have been uprooted thousands of years ago!"
Ye Yang smiled slightly, feeling secretly pleased. With the Dragon Armored Warriors present, it was indeed like adding wings to a tiger. With one thousand Dragon Armored Warriors stationed in Liang City, even if Fire Plow brought strong members of the Redstone Alliance to provoke them again, he could stand undefeated!
……
"Young Master, what is your command?" Zhao Yun asked respectfully.
Ye Yang replied, "How is our reconnaissance capability? Recently, Liang City has entered a Tian Hong. Have you noticed anything? Tian Hong is a defeated general of the Qin Army and is known for his ferocity and bravery; such a person cannot be allowed to remain."
Zhao Yun nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, Young Master. The moment Tian Hong entered Liang City, we had already grasped his movements; we just haven't acted yet to avoid alarming him."
"Alright, how long will it take to bring back Tian Hong's head?"
"Just a moment!"
"Good, I will wait for you here!"
Zhao Yun nodded with a smile, letting out a long howl filled with confidence. His graceful figure vanished into the horizon. In about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Zhao Yun returned, his sword stained with blood, holding a bloody head in his hand—it was the defeated general Tian Hong of the Qin Army. A quick glance revealed a fierce expression; he was indeed a brutal and reckless individual.
Ye Yang smiled and said, "Well done, follow me!"
"Yes!"
...
The two returned to the hall. At Ye Yang's gesture, Zhao Yun discarded Tian Hong's head onto the ground. The head rolled to Yong Chi's feet, causing him to turn pale with fright and hurriedly step back while sternly saying, "Remove it!"
Ye Yang and Wang Lie exchanged slight smiles. Yong Chi was truly timid as a mouse; it was astonishing that someone like him would be valued by Liu Bang. Wang Lie didn’t understand much, but Ye Yang knew that Liu Bang was on the verge of unifying the world. Despite having countless civil and military officials under his command, it was indeed perplexing to see someone like Yong Chi among them.
"Isn't this what you wanted?" Ye Yang asked.
Yong Chi still bore a look of fear on his face and ordered two attendants behind him to take the head away. He then whispered, "Ye Yang, since you have already taken Liang City, the common people are suffering greatly under the tyrannical Qin's heavy taxes. In this alliance meeting, Chuhai Wang is present, and the hearts of the people are with us. The Rebel Army urgently needs supplies and funds. This time, I come on General Song Yi's orders to extract one hundred thousand stones of grain, fifty thousand taels of silver, and one thousand warhorses from Liang City. I hope Governor does not make things difficult for me."
"You want money and supplies?"
Ye Yang's gaze turned cold as he understood the situation clearly. He indeed had quite a bit of wealth after suppressing two strongholds at Linping Mountain; Liang City was now overflowing with riches. However, there were not many warhorses—there might not even be a thousand in all of Liang City. Even if there were, how could he simply hand them over just because they were requested by some General Song Yi?
Thus, Ye Yang smiled slightly and said, "Liang City is small with few people; where could we possibly have so much money and supplies? I hope General will report back that Liang City will not support the Qin Army’s arrogance, but we truly do not have surplus resources to supply the Rebel Army. Recently, there have been increasing numbers of disaster victims; regarding money and supplies..."
Yong Chi immediately looked displeased and said, "Ye Yang, are you deliberately refusing to cooperate?"
Ye Yang raised his fist and tightened his wrist guard with a smile, saying, "No way! How could I dare?"
Unfortunately, the flames rising up his fist served as a warning to Yong Chi, reminding him of the pain from earlier. He realized that this young man was a Starry Sky Expert—someone he could not afford to offend.
Ye Yang's actions also conveyed his intentions: Liang City is mine; do you want to extort me? You can’t have money; if you want something else—come and take it if you dare!
"Send General Yong Chi out of the city!" Ye Yang said with a slight smile, his handsome face filled with sincerity.
Yong Chi gritted his teeth, mounted his horse, and said in a low voice, "Ye Yang, since you are so ungrateful, then take care of yourself. Once the General is enraged, hmph, this little Liang City will be reduced to dust!"
Ye Yang's expression turned cold as he said in a low voice, "General Yong Chi, are you not leaving yet?"
Pressure descended, causing Yong Chi's warhorse to let out a long neigh in fear as it galloped out of Liang City at lightning speed, nearly throwing Yong Chi off.
Watching Yong Chi depart, a chill arose in Ye Yang's eyes as he waved his hand. "Zhang Fei, come here!"
Zhang Fei approached with the Zhangba Snake Spear in hand and asked, "Young Master, what is it?"
Ye Yang lowered his voice. "Take a few people disguised as bandits and intercept Yong Chi at Azure Peak Mountain. Give him a good beating but don't kill him; let him return to the Rebel Army to report."
Nearby, Wang Lie grinned and said, "My lord, I had the same idea. Let me join in!"
Ye Yang nodded with a smile. "Alright."
Zhao Yun furrowed his brows and cautioned, "My lord, won't this provoke General Song Yi?"
Ye Yang replied, "What I'm doing is merely a warning to the Rebel Army. They shouldn't think Liang City is fish on a chopping board. At the same time, Yong Chi has taken Tian Hong's head to show that Liang City has no intention of being enemies with the Rebel Army. This way, perhaps we can protect Liang City; otherwise, if we keep showing weakness, I truly worry that Song Yi will lead troops to attack Liang City."
"Indeed, Young Master is wise!"
Everything seemed very calm until the evening.
Azure Peak Mountain
“Boom…”
A group of Iron Cavalry rushed past the foot of the mountain, shattering the original tranquility. On one of the warhorses, a burly old man with a long beard held a long knife, his eyes filled with fierce light as he said in a low voice, “Xiang Zhuang, have you confirmed that Ye Yang in Liang City is the Heir of the Hidden Dragon Hall, and that his friend Zhang Tianhe is a disciple of Beast God Valley? Even Yun Xiaoxi from Serene Gate resides in Ye Yang's mansion?”
Beside him, a valiant general riding a warhorse nodded, “Yes, the information is accurate. Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe possess Starry Sky Level strength, and Yun Xiaoxi has even reached Starry Sky Level Three. The strength of these individuals cannot be underestimated; otherwise, I would have already led an army to attack Liang City.”
The old man’s gaze was sharp as he revealed a hint of a smile, “Very good. If we can gain the assistance of these three, Old Dog Qin's fate is sealed!”
Xiang Zhuang was astonished, “Uncle, are we really going to assassinate Ying Zheng?”
“Of course!”
This old man was Xiang Liang, his eyes filled with killing intent as he declared, “Old Dog Qin has slaughtered countless citizens of our Chu State. This grudge must be avenged; I will not rest until it is!”
