Tie Jian was so angry that he could not speak for a long time, he pointed at the imperial edict he was stepping on and said angrily, "Look for yourself!" Then, he sneered, "Take a breath first, don't faint like marquis!"

Tie Biao pieced together the broken imperial edict to have a look.

The imperial edict said, "The people of the Honorable Marquis’ Mansion have sacrificed their lives together with the rebel army. We feel very strongly that the Special Rites Tribe will establish a shrine of loyalty for the souls of the Anyi Warriors, cultivate the Honorable Marquis’ Mansion again for the victory of the loyal officials of the, and bestow upon the deceased Wang Lanying the title of a first class marquis, and Zhang Shicheng the first class marquis, Chang Quan, Xie Chen … To be a fifth rank general, to express his loyalty, to remember his virtue, and to submit to him! "

Tie Biao's face became uglier and uglier. After he finished reading the imperial edict, he fell to the ground with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

After the news spread out, the soldiers became unsettled. They thought the Emperor was blaming them for not winning the fight, but what was the meaning of that? Rumors immediately flew everywhere.

Old Lady Feng felt that the atmosphere in the tent was not good, and immediately asked about it, only then did she know that her grandson had fainted after receiving the imperial edict.

"Kids have no experience and can't take a single blow. The Lightning Rain Dew is a blessing. How can we complain to the emperor when we eat royal food!?" Peony, go and ask around to find out what's going on. "

"Yes sir!"

Peony came to Tie Yi's tent. The army doctor was still giving him acupuncture, while Yue Ying stood at the side and looked at him nervously, constantly calling out his name.

"What did the imperial edict say to cause the Young Marquis to become like this?"

Yue Ying shook her head and did not answer. She had already poured two pills, and looking at the age of Peony, she thought that it was better not to.

Peony saw that the others had stopped talking and turned quiet. "What happened? What are you talking about?"

Seeing that she insisted on asking, Yue Ying stood up and said, "The Emperor has bestowed the title of a general above the fifth rank in the Marquis Mansion."

Peony asked curiously. "This is a good thing, why are all of you so unhappy? Someone even said that Young Marquis's Qi fainted?"

Yue Ying said sorrowfully, "Because the house of the Marquis was burnt, and everyone died. All the Emperor gave to them was their grief and honor."

Peony felt dizzy. Sure enough, this news was too hurtful, no wonder the Young Marquis could not take it.

Tie Yi's camp was mostly filled with seniors from the Stone Bull Camp. Although they were angry, they had their reasons, if they switched to another camp, they would definitely rebel.

The loyal officials did not even have a peaceful end to their lives. In such a situation, what was a title bestowed to them? Do you think people are stupid?

Especially Old Lady Wang, she did not even explain how she died. Only after some investigation did she find out that she was humiliated by the imperial guards and killed by them.

Originally, the Iron family was thin and weak. Now that the people from the West Mansion had died and the elders from the manor had left, how many were left?

Peony's face was grave, and her heart felt as if it had been pressed down by a soldering iron.

Although Yue Ying felt sorry for Tie Yi and hated the emperor for being too heartless, after thinking about how things had developed to this point, it was already something that could not be reversed. There was not much meaning in investigating who was in the wrong and who was in the wrong.

The most important thing is to clarify the rumors. If you have to say that the royal decree was to cause trouble with the spies, Donghu People wants to mess with our army. We must stabilize the situation and win this fight, then we will talk about other things. "

Peony nodded his head. He couldn't let Old Lady Feng know about this news, so he decided to keep it a secret for now, and his heart could not disperse. The matters of the House of the Marquis must be dealt with by someone else.

Yue Ying waited until Tie Yi woke up, looked at his blood-red eyes, and advised, "Don't be too angry, if you can't take it anymore, let's go back and go back to the mountain stronghold. We'll live our carefree lives here, it doesn't matter if he beats us both to death, whoever is sitting in the mountains, as long as he doesn't encroach on my territory, we won't bother with him."

Tie Yi shook his head, and said sorrowfully after a long while, "My family has sacrificed so many people for him, why is it that he isn't even willing to give us a chance to live?"

Yue Ying sighed, "Man Chu is innocent, possession of a treasure is a crime!"

"For that map?"

Yue Ying nodded.

Tie Yi held onto Yue Ying's hand, and muttered. "I don't want to be this marquis anymore! I'll go with you! "

"Really?" Yue Ying jumped in joy, but seeing Tie Yi's sorrowful face, she knew that Tie Yi was just angry for a moment, that he was willing to follow him back to the mountain stronghold, what about the old lady? Zhou Guizhi? And that fox-like Geng Yuedong? Asking Tie Yi to abandon them was probably something impossible.

She calmed down and said calmly, "Forget it, let's wait and see what the old lady has to say first. Someone will have to go back to the house of the Marquis to take care of this matter. Although the imperial edict states that someone from the Ministry of Rites will appear, it doesn't make sense that no one in the family will take charge of this matter."

Tie Yi did not pick up her words, his eyes glazed over as he seemed to be thinking of something, he just woke up, and spat out a mouthful of blood. The military doctor said that it was an attack on his heart due to anxiety, and wanted to disperse the fire in his heart, but then, the medicine was already ready, and Yue Ying fed it to him to drink.

Tie Yi looked at her and laughed deeply, "I am fine, I cannot fall. If I fall, Grandma, and the aunties will have no one to rely on!"

He gently caressed Yue Ying's stomach and said, "Child, isn't father very useless? If you can't even protect your own home, then what marquis are you waiting for? All of them are fake! "

Although Yue Ying listened to him speak calmly, he was definitely not in a good mood, thus she advised, "Don't be sad, people need to watch the future, the more those people don't want you to live well, the more you need to live well, and people need to live well in order to have hope!"

Tie Yi raised his head and looked at Yue Ying gratefully, and shook his head, "In the past, I only knew about the righteousness of the ruler and official, and that the subject was to be loyal to the ruler. I was born, Grandma and the rest, everyone taught me this way, I never thought about being disloyal, but now that the emperor is disloyal to my Iron family, I don't know what to do. If I want justice, who do I want it from? "

Yue Ying said very seriously, "No matter what you want to do, I will support you. Even if I have to give you all the Stone Bull Camp, as long as you are happy, I will see how sad you are.

Tie Yi gently caressed Yue Ying's face. That slender and smooth skin left a slippery feeling on her fingers. This feeling seeped into her heart.

"Why are you so good to me?" He affectionately kissed Yue Ying on the lips.

"Because I love you! You are the meaning of my existence. Without you, what is the meaning of my life? "No matter how much you have, it's still more reliable than if you were by my side." Yue Ying said as a matter of fact.
