Butler Cui took people there. Li Yikun turned around and found that Xiao Yichen and Shui Lingyue were gone. Naturally, he also understood that it was not appropriate for them to meet the people in Qidu at this moment.

After a while, Butler Cui led an imperial envoy in.

The two greeted each other, and the imperial envoy took out an imperial edict from his sleeve and said, "Li Yikun received the edict!"

Li Yikun knelt down and looked like he was following the order.

The imperial envoy raised his chest and raised his belly and said, "For the will of heaven, the emperor summoned him and said, "The rebel thief Xiao Yichen disobeyed the holy ethics, assassinated the late emperor and abducted the concubine of the late emperor. He was extremely guilty. He asked the Yangzhou Governor General Li Yikun to march eastward to attack the rebel thief Xiao Yichen and arrested the rebel thief. Impressed this!"

Li Yikun was shocked. Princess Qi was right just now. With his power, how could he be left out of the situation with such a barrier? If he was really out of the situation, I am afraid that the first thing the new emperor did after he consolidated the government was to deal with him.

Li Yikun stood up and snatched the imperial edict from the imperial envoy.

The imperial envoy was stunned, his face suddenly darkened, and he pointed at Li Yikun and shouted: "Is General Li accepting the order?"

Li Yikun launched the imperial edict and said, "Let this general test it, is this imperial edict true or false."

The imperial envoy was stunned again and said, "I came from Qidu and was ordered by the emperor..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Yikun drew out the long sword from his waist with a silence and pointed at him, "The bold madman dares to use fake imperial edicts to deceive me. It's time to kill me!"

As soon as Li Yikun finished speaking, he gave it to him. Before the imperial envoy could digest what Li Yikun said, he died in his hands.

Li Yikun held the imperial edict in his left hand and rubbed it hard, and the imperial edict turned into pieces.

Li Yikun walked to the screen and welcomed Xiao Yichen and Shui Lingyue out, saying, "Your Highness, this person has been sent a false imperial edict, and I have already made the formation on the spot."

Xiao Yichen nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Yikun said again: "Since His Highness and the Princess have arrived in Yangzhou City, why not sit in Yangzhou City and use this as the base to head to Qidu?"

Xiao Yichen said: "General Li is very willing. This king and the princess should not refuse. However, this time, this king and the princess are on a secret tour, and the world does not know that if the general is interested, he can send someone to send my envoy back to Pingyang City."

Li Yikun thought about it, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

The next morning, Li Yikun sent a team of troops to send Xiao Yichen and Shui Lingyue back to Pingyang City with great fanfare.

Because of the statement of an important figure, Li Yikun, the small and medium-sized warlords who were in a wait-and-see state surrendered to Xiao Yichen. Some of the small warlords even took their own troops and went directly to Pingyang City and surrendered to Xiao Yichen.

For a moment, King Xiao Yichen of Qi was greatly inspired.

At this time, a group of capable and wise men gathered around Xiao Yichen and discussed with them, feeling that the time for attacking Qidu was already here.

Xiao Yichen led his troops to the capital of Qi. He didn't have to fight anywhere along the way. The guards of the city saw the military flag of the King of Qi, so they opened the city gate to welcome the progress of the King of Qi Xiao Yichen.

In just half a month, Xiao Yichen and his large team of troops occupied sixteen cities northeast of Northern Qi.

Now, there are two cities, Linzhi and Xiangping, from Qidu.
