Xiao Nanfeng saw off Queen You Jiu and walked towards the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. There, Zheng Qian, Ye Dafu, Ye Sanshui and others had been waiting for a long time.
There were many officials in the hall. In addition to the teachers and students from Xiao's Island, there were also many local officials who had just been promoted by Xiao Nanfeng.
"Meet Prince Xiao." Everyone paid their respects to Xiao Nanfeng who entered the hall.
Xiao Nanfeng walked to the main seat, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Today, I have called everyone here to talk about what we are going to do next."
"Shi... King Xiao, a month ago, we captured two more cities. Now, our army has expanded to 10,000 people. We are ready to attack at any time. Now the surrounding cities are in chaos. It is easy to do it now." Ah, my group of younger brothers can lead the team by themselves, you can give the order." Ye Dafu shouted expectantly.
"Shut up, those soldiers you just recruited are in such a mess, why do you have the nerve to attack the city?" Ye Sanshui scolded from the side.
"Third uncle, it's only been a month. It's already good that I can bring the newly recruited recruits to that level. You don't know, the major cities are in chaos, and they are even worse than us." Ye Dafu said unhappily.
Xiao Nanfeng was very relieved about Ye Dafu and others. Ye Dafu and a group of his younger brothers had already surpassed the mortal realm and cultivated the indestructible body. They were simply overwhelming on the battlefield. Plus, they all It is not difficult to take the lead and attack some chaotic cities.
What he worries about is logistics, because once a war starts, it will involve all aspects.
"Everyone, do you think that after more than a month of cultivation and sorting out, the logistics can keep up?" Xiao Nanfeng looked at the civil servants.
"We'll do our best," the officials said immediately.
Xiao Nanfeng looked at Zheng Qian, who frowned and said: "King Xiao approved the surrender of a large number of officials. With these new officials, we can indeed continue to expand, but the time is too short after all, and the backgrounds of many people are still there. I haven’t found out clearly, I’m worried…”
The faces of all the local officials changed. They understood what Zheng Qian meant. Zheng Qian was saying that they might not be reliable and might be spies sent by the enemy.
Xiao Nanfeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng. News just came that King Yan and King Qi have been inviting good generals and ministers of the country to the palace recently, and then quietly sentenced them to death. This has shocked the officials of the two countries. Officials of the two countries are now People are all in panic, and everyone is in danger. They have no intention of arranging spies. It is said that when a country is about to perish, a monster will appear, and this monster is actually the king. Even if someone pretends to follow us and secretly be loyal to the two countries, I believe that he will He can quickly see the general trend of the world."
Among the officials, some had a complicated look in their eyes.
Xiao Nanfeng looked at the officials solemnly and said: "Today, the world is in chaos and evildoers are rampant. If we don't take action now, then when? A little scabies can't stop us. As long as you care about the common people, compare our city and our city. The gap in the lives of the people in the two cities means that we naturally know that we are following the will of heaven and seeking benefits for the common people. Can you guys be right?"
The officials looked solemn and did not dare to refute, but responded: "King Xiao will go with the flow, and we will do our best to assist him."
Xiao Nanfeng nodded. The ghost guard sent him information on monitoring officials every day. He naturally knew the little thoughts of some officials. However, when hiring people now, he did not expose some people. Everything was up to him. In his control, he wants to control the human domain as quickly as possible. As for the secret thoughts of some officials, if they don't take action, that's it. If anyone dares to mess up, the ghost guards will take action. Everything will wait for the unification of the world. Afterwards, the rewards will be given based on the merits, and the punishments will be given after the turn.
"Yes, I understand." Zheng Qian nodded.
"Then according to the plan we made, we will continue to attack the city and open up territory. Ye Sanshui will be the commander-in-chief and Ye Dafu will be the deputy commander-in-chief. We will send troops immediately. Mr. Zheng will deploy officials to accept the new city." Xiao Nanfeng. He looked at the crowd and said.
"Yes!" the officials responded.
Everyone was busy again, and Xiao Nanfeng was responsible for giving important instructions for some major events. Before the soldiers sent out troops, Xiao Nanfeng would come out to mobilize morale. After the city was captured, he also went to reward the three armies as soon as possible and appease the people at the same time.
Xiao Nanfeng employed a large number of local officials. On the one hand, the eight hundred students were definitely not enough. On the other hand, these local officials were also used to spur the eight hundred students.
In just half a month, the number of cities under the control of King Xiao has increased by five, reaching eight cities. Every city is busy again. At this moment, there are also talents from countless small families in the human domain. Really talented people are open to all possibilities and accept them all.
What he needs now is to be fast. To take charge of a larger territory as quickly as possible. The eight hundred students have experienced nearly three months of learning to be officials and have become more mature. They may not be capable enough, but Xiao Nanfeng is very interested in them. They all trusted them so much that they were assigned extremely important positions in eight cities. They even arranged ghost guards to protect them secretly.
Every day, Xiao Nanfeng received information about the bullying of these eight hundred students. Many students were fooled by their local officials. However, Xiao Nanfeng did not interfere in their management of lower-level officials. If How can we manage more places in the future if we can't deal with these demons and monsters? They are young, so they might as well take a closer look at the darkness of these officialdoms. Anyway, those officials who are uneasy and well-intentioned can be eliminated at any time. As long as these eight hundred students can grow up, Everything is worth it.
Xiao Nanfeng also asked the ghost guard to record some successful cases of students outsmarting corrupt bureaucrats, and then let eight hundred students read it. After reading the eight hundred students, they were all deeply inspired, and the struggle with their subordinates became more intense.
During this period, the only thing that made Xiao Nanfeng uneasy was that Youjiu went to Yan Palace and never returned? Although he asked the ghost guards to investigate the matter every day, there was no news about Youjiu. .
"Prince Yan's Palace, how's the investigation going?" Xiao Nanfeng looked at a ghost guard.
"Half a month ago, a red light shot into the sky in Prince Yan's Palace. The next day, Prince Yan's Palace activated a large array and sealed off all parts of the palace. No one is allowed to enter or exit at will. We can't get in." A ghost guard said.
"Start with the officials of the Yan Kingdom who have access to the palace and continue the investigation." Xiao Nanfeng said solemnly.
"yes!"
At this moment, another ghost guard suddenly broke in: "Prince Xiao, we found the hall master. He fainted outside the city and was carried back by us."
"What? Lead the way!" Xiao Nanfeng's expression changed and he stood up suddenly.
The ghost guard immediately led the way, and Xiao Nanfeng followed him straight away. Soon he came to another hall, where a group of ghost guards were healing You Jiu.
"Prince Xiao!" Everyone said respectfully when they saw Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng immediately went to check on Youjiu, only to see that Youjiu was not only unconscious, but his whole body was black and purple, with numerous broken bones and bruises all over his body, making him extremely miserable.
"Youjiu's soul power is almost exhausted, and his dantian's true energy is almost exhausted. What happened?" Xiao Nanfeng asked in surprise.
He carefully instilled some soul power into Youjiu, and Youjiu slowly opened his eyes.
"The hall master is awake?" A group of ghost guards asked in surprise.
"My lord, I lost the red rope you gave me. Please punish me, lord." Youjiu said weakly.
"Why are we talking about the red rope at this time? You heal your wounds first." Xiao Nanfeng said immediately.
"My Lord, please check for me first. Are there any remnants of the red rope evil thing on my body?" Youjiu said weakly.
Xiao Nanfeng raised his eyebrows and felt something was wrong.
"The rest of you, get out." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Yes!" Everyone exited the hall one after another.
Xiao Nanfeng reached out and activated a purple gold talisman in the fantasy world. With a buzzing sound, Xiao Nanfeng took Youjiu into the fantasy world.
In the illusion, You Jiu's soul was extremely miserable, with his whole body broken and his limbs missing. It was too horrible to look at.
"There is no remnant of the red rope evil thing." Xiao Nanfeng said.
With that said, Xiao Nanfeng activated the purple gold talisman in the fantasy world and returned to reality.
"That's good, fortunately, I didn't become an evil slave." You Jiu said with a bitter smile.
"What happened when you went to King Yan's capital this time? How did it end up like this?" Xiao Nanfeng asked in confusion.
"I originally went to King Yan with the red rope and asked him for the formation, but suddenly a red light came out of his body and rushed into the red rope I was holding. The red rope suddenly came to life.
, entangled me, and King Yan fell to the ground, making no sound, and died on the spot." You Jiu said.
"oh?"
"I noticed something was wrong and wanted to pull off the red rope, but I couldn't keep pulling it off. The red rope strangled my neck and glowed red. I knew something was going to happen. I flew away from the palace and flew to a
When we were in the forest, I finally couldn't stop the red light and entered a fantasy world." Youjiu recalled.
"The red rope evil thing has revived? It's just that it's very weak now. It took a long time to let you enter the illusion?" Xiao Nanfeng's face darkened.
"Yes! In the illusion, the red rope was stronger than my soul body, but it was only so powerful that we fought in a stalemate for more than ten days. In the end, my soul body was defeated miserably and was about to be swallowed by it. I blew myself up.
It exploded its body first, then its arms, and then its legs, injuring it. It was also badly injured. Perhaps it was afraid that I would continue to self-destruct, so it gave up and continued to target me. We came out of the illusion together, and it was trembling.
The ground flew away, but I didn't dare to hesitate and flew back with difficulty, but when I flew outside the city, I was too tired and completely lost consciousness. I should have been carried back by someone." Youjiu said with a bitter smile.
.
"It's good that you can come back, nothing else matters." Xiao Nanfeng breathed softly.
Youjiu smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I guess that the red rope will definitely find other evil slaves to withdraw its evil soul power. It will become stronger soon, and the situation in this world will have great consequences.
Changed.”
"It's already changing. According to your description, King Yan died half a month ago, but the news has never been reported in the Yan Kingdom. I guess that the royal family of Yan King kept the news of King Yan's death secret. They
After launching a coup, the chaos in the Yan Kingdom will soon subside." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Ah?" Youjiu's expression changed.
"It doesn't matter. The secular dynasty is simply fragile in the face of strong strength. I haven't paid attention to it yet. Today, our biggest enemy is the resurrected red rope. The rest is nothing at all. You take good care of your injuries, then
A red rope, let me deal with it." Xiao Nanfeng said.
