After Xiao Nanfeng sent You Jiu away, he 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 these teachers and students from Xiao's Island, there were also many local officials that Xiao Nanfeng had just promoted.
"Meet King Xiao." Everyone bowed to Xiao Nanfeng who entered the hall.
Xiao Nanfeng walked to the main seat, looked at everyone and smiled: "Today, I will summon everyone here to talk about what we are going to do next."
"World...... King Xiao, a month ago, we captured two more cities, and now, our army has expanded to 10,000 people, ready to attack at any time. Now the surrounding city is in chaos, and it is easy to do it now, my group of little brothers can lead the team by themselves, you can give the order." Ye Dafu shouted expectantly.
"Shut up, the soldiers you just recruited are a mess, and you are embarrassed to attack the city?" Ye Sanshui counted on the side.
"Third uncle, it's only been a month, it's already good that I can bring the newly recruited recruits like that, you don't know, the major cities are in chaos, they are worse than us." Ye Dafu said unhappily.
Xiao Nanfeng was very relieved about Ye Dafu and the others, Ye Dafu and his group of younger brothers, they had already broken the strength of the mortal realm, and they had cultivated the indestructible body of the Vajra, and they were simply pushing horizontally on the battlefield, plus they were all taking the lead and attacking some chaotic cities, it was not difficult.
He was worried about the logistics, because once the war was fought, all aspects would be involved.
"Everyone, do you think that after more than a month of cultivation and sorting, the logistics will keep up?" Xiao Nanfeng looked at the civil servants.
"I'll do my best." The officials immediately said.
Xiao Nanfeng looked at Zheng Qian, Zheng Qian frowned and said: "King Xiao has 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 have not been found out, I am worried about ......"
The faces of the local officials changed, they understood what Zheng Qian meant, Zheng Qian was saying that they may not be reliable, they may be spies sent by the enemy.
Xiao Nanfeng smiled and said: "Mr. Zheng, don't worry, the news just came that the King of Yan and the King of Qi have been inviting the country's good generals and ministers to enter the palace recently, and then quietly gave them death, which has caused the officials of the two countries to shake. They didn't have the heart to arrange spies. The so-called dying country will produce demons, and this demon is actually the king. Even if someone pretends to follow me and secretly is loyal to the two countries, I believe he will be able to see the general trend of the world very quickly."
Among the officials, some officials showed a hint of complexity in their eyes.
Xiao Nanfeng looked at the officials solemnly and said: "Now, the world is chaotic and demons are rampant. As long as you care about the common people and compare the gap between the lives of the people in our city and the cities of the two countries, you naturally know that we are following the sky and seeking benefits for the common people, are you right?"
The officials looked solemn and did not dare to refute, and responded: "King Xiao follows the sky, and I will do my best to assist."
Xiao Nanfeng nodded, the ghost guard sent him information to monitor the officials every day, he naturally knew the careful thoughts of some officials, but now that he was employing people, he did not expose some people, everything was under his control, he wanted to control the human domain as quickly as possible, as for the secret thoughts of some officials, if they did not take action, it would be fine. If anyone dares to mess around, there will be a ghost guard to take action, and everything, after the world is unified, the merit will be rewarded, and then the punishment will be carried out.
"Yes, my subordinates know." Zheng Qian nodded.
"Then according to the plan we have formulated, continue to attack the city and seize the land, open up the territory, Ye Sanshui is the commander, Ye Dafu is the deputy commander, and the troops will be sent immediately. Mr. Zheng deployed officials and followed the acceptance of the new city." Xiao Nanfeng looked at everyone.
"Yes!" The officials responded.
Everyone was busy again, and Xiao Nanfeng was responsible for giving important instructions on some major events. Before the soldiers send troops, Xiao Nanfeng will come forward 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 used a large number of local officials, on the one hand, the 800 students were definitely not enough, and on the other hand, he also used these local officials to spur the 800 students.
In just half a month, five more cities were added to King Xiao's control, bringing the total to eight. Various parts of the city became busy again. And at this moment, there are also countless talents from small families from the human realm to vote. Xiao Nanfeng accepts all kinds of people who are truly talented.
All he needs now is fast. Take charge of a bigger territory as quickly as possible. The eight hundred students have experienced nearly three months of studying as officials, and they have become more mature, they may not be able enough, but Xiao Nanfeng trusts them very much and has arranged extremely important positions in eight cities for them. They even arranged for ghost guards to protect them secretly.
Every day, Xiao Nanfeng received information that these 800 students were bullied, and many students were fooled by their local officials, but Xiao Nanfeng did not interfere in their management of lower-level officials. They are young, so it's good to see more of these officialdom darkness, anyway, those uneasy and kind-hearted officials can be erased at any time. As long as these 800 students can grow up, everything is worth it.
Xiao Nanfeng also asked the ghost guard to record some successful cases of students fighting corrupt bureaucrats, and then let the eight hundred students pass it on, and after reading it, they were all deeply encouraged, and the struggle with their subordinates became more and more intense.
During this time, the only thing that made Xiao Nanfeng feel uneasy was that You Jiu went to the Yan King's Palace, and he never returned? Although he asked the Ghost Guard to track down the matter every day, there was no news of Youjiu.
"Yan Wang's Palace, how is the investigation?" Xiao Nanfeng looked at a ghost guard.
"Half a month ago, there was a red light in the Yan Palace, and the next day, the Yan Palace opened a large formation and blocked all parts of the palace. A ghost guard said.
"Start with the officials of the Yan Kingdom who can enter and leave the palace, and continue to investigate." Xiao Nanfeng said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
At this moment, another ghost guard suddenly broke in: "King Xiao, I have found the hall master. He passed out outside the city and was carried back by us."
"What? Lead the way!" Xiao Nanfeng's face changed, and he stood up suddenly.
The ghost guard immediately led the way, Xiao Nanfeng followed straight away, and soon came to another hall, where a group of ghost guards were healing Youjiu.
"King Xiao!" Seeing Xiao Nanfeng, everyone said respectfully.
Xiao Nanfeng immediately went to check on Youjiu, but saw that Youjiu was not only unconscious, he was covered in black and purple, his bones were broken countlessly, and his body was covered in bruises, which was extremely miserable.
"Youjiu's soul power is almost exhausted, and the true qi of the dantian is almost exhausted, what happened?" Xiao Nanfeng was surprised.
He carefully instilled some soul power into Youjiu, and Youjiu slowly opened his eyes.
"Is the hall master awake?" A group of ghost guards said in surprise.
"Lord, the red rope you gave me was lost by me, please punish the Lord." You Jiu said weakly.
"What else are you talking about at this time? You heal first." Xiao Nanfeng said immediately.
"Lord, please help me check first, is there any residue of the red rope evil on my body?" You Jiu said weakly.
Xiao Nanfeng raised his eyebrows and felt that something was wrong.
"The rest of you go out." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Yes!" Everyone exited the hall one after another.
Xiao Nanfeng reached out and urged a fantasy realm purple gold talisman, and with a buzz, Xiao Nanfeng took Youjiu into the illusion.
In the illusion, Youjiu's soul body was extremely tragic, his whole body was shattered, and his limbs were gone, which was terrible.
"There is nothing left of the red rope evil thing." Xiao Nanfeng said.
Saying that, Xiao Nanfeng induced the Purple Gold Talisman of the Illusion Realm and returned to reality.
"That's good, fortunately, I didn't become an evil slave." You Jiu smiled bitterly.
"What happened when you went to the capital of King Yan this time? How did it happen?" Xiao Nanfeng wondered.
"I originally took the red rope to the King of Yan and asked him for the formation, but a red light suddenly appeared in his body and rushed into the red rope I was holding in my hand. You Jiu said.
"Oh?"
"I found something wrong and wanted to pull off the red rope, but no matter how hard I kept pulling it, the red rope strangled my neck and glowed red, I knew it was going to be bad, I flew away from the palace, and when I flew into a mountain forest, I finally couldn't stop the red light and entered the illusion." You Jiu recalled.
"That red rope evil thing has been revived? It's just that it's very weak now, and it took a long time for you to enter the illusion?" Xiao Nanfeng's face darkened.
"Yes! In the illusion, the red rope is stronger than my soul body, but the strength is limited, we fought for more than ten days, in the end, my soul body suffered a crushing defeat, and I was about to be swallowed by it, I blew up my soul body, first exploded my arms, then exploded my legs, and blew it up, and it was also injured terribly, maybe it was afraid that I would continue to self-detonate, so I gave up and continued to target me, we left the illusion together, it flew away tremblingly, and I didn't dare to hesitate, and flew back with difficulty, but when I flew outside the city, I was too tired and completely unconscious, I should have been carried back." You Jiu smiled bitterly.
"It's good if you can come back, nothing else matters." Xiao Nanfeng exhaled lightly.
You Jiu smiled bitterly and said: "Lord, I guess that the red rope will definitely go to other evil slaves to extract its evil soul power. It will soon become stronger, and the situation in this world will change drastically."
"It's already changing, according to your description, the King of Yan died half a month ago, but the Yan Kingdom has not come out of this news, I guess it is the Yan royal family who kept the news of the death of the King of Yan secret, they are launching a coup, and the chaos in the Yan State will soon subside." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Huh?" Youjiu's face changed.
"It doesn't matter, secular dynasties are simply fragile in the face of strong strength. I haven't seen it yet. Today, our greatest enemy is the revived red rope. Anything else is nothing. You take good care of your injuries, that red rope, I will deal with it." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Yes!" You Jiu smiled bitterly and nodded.
