Shuiyue Prefecture is located on the border of the Moon Empire.
The land is vast and sparsely populated, with four cities and one pass.
Because a big war is likely to break out in this area, a strong man is needed to guard it.
The thousand-year-old tyrant tried his best to win over Xiao Yi. He not only gained high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but also gained immense power.
Moreover, Xiao Yi was entrusted with an important task, allowing him to command the entire Shuiyue State, including all soldiers and horses, as well as government affairs, and even had the power to kill first and report later.
How should I put it? As long as the thousand-year tyrant does not come, then Xiao Yi will be the earth emperor.
But things are not that simple. Shuiyue State is right next to the Sword Dynasty, which is a behemoth ten times stronger than Wan Lei Tianmen.
It can be said that someday the Moon Empire and the Sword Dynasty will go to war.
Then Shuiyue Prefecture will bear the brunt.
Therefore, whoever comes to lead Shuiyue State will be under considerable pressure.
After Xiao Yi learned about it, he weighed it again and accepted the arrangement.
First, he needs a place to settle down and protect him.
Second, Su Baijing’s Black Moon City is also in Shuiyue State.
It can be said that controlling Shuiyue State means controlling Black Moon City.
There is a door to travel under Black Moon City, which is extremely important to Xiao Yi.
So both parties get what they need and the cooperation is happy.
Today is Xiao Yi’s first day in office.
In the palace built on the highest mountain in Shuiyue State, four city lords and border generals were entertained.
In Black Moon City, Su Baijing knew the news and was the first to arrive with several female generals to send congratulatory gifts.
Bai Yuecheng, Bai Wuji, is thin and out of shape. He coughs after walking a few steps, but he was carried up the mountain.
From Ziyue City, the brothers Purple Dragon and Purple Tiger led a large group of troops and marched over in a mighty manner, building up their momentum.
In Blood Moon City, wherever the old devil and his men went, they would cause bloody chaos and show off their power.
At Zhenyue Pass, the guard is Princess Fengyue. She has a noble status. She studied under the Divine Wind Sect and has gained a lot of cultivation. She has the support of various forces behind her, so she can be said to have a strong army.
Everyone has arrived and the banquet has begun.
In the main hall, Xiao Yi raised his glass and said loudly: "Thanks to the emperor for not giving up and letting me take charge of Shuiyue State, I will do my best to protect the land."
"I hope you can cooperate and help me."
After hearing this, the others smiled falsely and raised their glasses to drink together.
Afterwards, everyone chatted while eating, chatting here and there.
The main reason is that Xiao Yi wants to hear about the current situation in Fengyue Prefecture, how many soldiers and horses there are, how much money and food are there, how much taxes are paid, etc.
The other thing is, bringing these people together is to give them some breathing space.
If a consensus can be reached, that would be the best.
If not, then we will have to deal with it one by one later.
In addition, if you put these people together and hold a meeting to talk about things and problems, you can easily find out whether they are harmonious, whether they have conflicts, etc.
Taking over Shuiyue State, in addition to taking control of affairs as quickly as possible, it is also about understanding people's hearts.
Everyone sat together eating and drinking, and the more they talked, the more they talked.
Among them, Bai Wuji is the weakest, and I don’t know how he became the lord of the city despite his sickly body.
He was the first to stand up, support Xiao Yi, and expressed his willingness to do whatever he could.
Sure enough, the way for the weakest people to survive is to rely on big trees.
When Su Baijing saw someone taking the lead, she also started acting.
First, they all flattered each other, saying that Xiao Yi was a noble person, wise and mighty.
Then he said that it was an honor to serve under Xiao Yi.
From the beginning to the end, Princess Fengyue maintained a noble posture, even when reporting on the affairs of the border army, she held her head high.
There is nothing you can do, the other party is a royal family, so forget it.
But then, Xiao Yi couldn't bear it anymore.
The old blood demon is uninhibited, talks carelessly, and shows no courtesy or respect.
He also said that he was a rough man who only knew how to kill, and asked Xiao Yi not to mind.
As a result, the more he talked, the more unscrupulous he became, and he even teased Bai Wuji and Su Baijing, the weakest people, in public.
Brothers Zilong and Zihu, although not so vulgar, still stand tall and are neither humble nor overbearing.
They only expressed their willingness to cooperate with Xiao Yi, rather than obey.
In this way, the attitudes of all parties have been made clear.
When the banquet came to an end, I thought it could end peacefully.
Unexpectedly, the old blood demon drank too much and became interested.
He threw the wine glass on the spot, stood up suddenly, clasped his fists at Xiao Yi and said: "Master Xiao, I heard that you are very powerful and can be entrusted by the emperor with the important task of leading Shuiyue State. I believe you must be very capable.
"
"I am obsessed with cultivation, but my talent is limited and my progress is slow."
"I'm lucky today. I hope I can get some advice from Mr. Xiao."
After saying that, Old Blood Demon looked at Xiao Yi solemnly, with a strong attitude that he must teach him.
Others also looked like they were watching the show, and they all wanted to see the strength of Xiao Yi, their immediate boss.
Princess Fengyue took a sip of wine silently and made calculations in her mind.
To be honest, no matter how arrogant she is, she doesn't dare to make a mistake.
She is very clear about Xiao Yi's record and knows that she is no match.
Regarding Xiao Yi's strength, she also wanted to see it with her own eyes. Anyone who came to provoke Xiao Yi and force Xiao Yi to show his strength was also what she expected.
On the other side, Su Bai Jingmei's eyes were full of interest. She also wanted to know how far this man had grown after not seeing him for so long.
At this moment, every pair of eyes present was staring at the master on the high seat.
Xiao Yi also knew that he had just taken office and it would be impossible if he did not show some ability to shock him.
Since someone wants to be beaten, then let it be done.
"Okay, let's go outside!"
"This palace has just been built. I will live in it permanently from now on."
"If anyone destroys every brick here, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yi slowly stood up and straightened his clothes.
Then, there was a sharp look, and a huge coercion came down.
In an instant, everyone except Princess Fengyue felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them. It was difficult to even move a finger, let alone move a step.
The old blood demon initiated the provocation, so he was the first to bear the brunt.
The coercion concentrated on his body, making him almost breathless.
Xiao Yi took a step forward, and the tyrannical force squeezed down.
The old blood demon was under pressure, and the man was forced back by this force.
One step forward, one step back.
Before the official action, the gap in strength between the two was already so huge.
At this time, Old Blood Demon knew that he had provoked the wrong person, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
But I have already spoken out before, and I have to bite the bullet no matter what I say.
I still don’t believe it, Xiao Yi killed a city lord just after he took office.
"Come, please give me some advice, Mr. Xiao."
The old demon Xue shook his head and released a blood-red aura all over his body, blowing a strong wind to resist the huge pressure.
