Chapter 203 Alliance
The prefect of Lingzhou was demoted, the general was killed in battle, and the new prefect became the sole ruler of Lingzhou.

Bai Yuan smelled the opportunity for Shenfumen to reappear in the world.

So when he heard the news that the prefect of Lingzhou had been demoted, he immediately asked Lu Yu to help him make connections.

"Are you Bai Yuan?"

Jiang Yan looked up and down curiously at the ordinary young man in front of her.

Ranked 13th on the Heavenly Ranking, this ranking alone is enough to make the Jiang family pay attention.

Not to mention that the previous Lingzhou prefect was demoted, the young man in front of him made a huge contribution.

If Bai Yuan had not killed so many people that the Lingzhou army was no longer able to wipe out the masters of the Demon Sect, the former Lingzhou governor would not have been impeached by the Censorate, and the Minister of War Xu Dingchun would not have made the final decision.

It can be said that everything started with the young man in front of me.

Of course, these things are not glorious.

Therefore, in the eyes of the world, the former Lingzhou prefect was demoted because of his poor governance.

Only a few high-level people like Jiang Yan are qualified to know the truth.

The Xuanyang court and the sects rule the world together, because the disputes between the court and the sects have never stopped.

The former prefect can take action against the Shenfu Sect, and the Shenfu Sect can naturally fight back. There is no right or wrong, only a winner.

Everyone thought that the Lingzhou prefect had won, but they didn't expect that Shenfumen was the final winner.

Bai Yuan nodded.

A hint of fighting spirit flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes.

The Jiang family is a military family. Although she is a woman, her warlike spirit is no less than that of men. At least she is much stronger than Lu Yu standing next to her.

However, Jiang Yan quickly suppressed the urge to take action.

She is just good at martial arts, not stupid.

Bai Yuan is now the true leader of Shenfu Sect. Her father has just arrived in Lingzhou and his foundation is unstable. He needs a powerful ally like Shenfu Sect.

"I think Miss Jiang has already known the purpose of my visit from Brother Lu."

Bai Yuan said calmly.

Jiang Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.

The leader of the Shenfu Sect was quite straightforward.

"My father will come to Huanglong Mansion soon, and then Lord Bai can talk to my father in person."

Jiang Yan naturally had no say in major matters involving the Shenfu Gate and the provincial government.

Bai Yuan smiled and clasped his fists: "Thank you."

He naturally knew that Jiang Yan alone could not make the decision, but as long as the woman in front of him was willing to act as a matchmaker, that would be enough.

Lu Yu laughed and said, "My brother Bai is a young talent. Uncle will definitely like him when he sees him."

He originally wanted to say that he might even betroth Sister Jiang to his brother Bai, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the thought back. He didn't want this alliance to fail.

After Lu Xiao died in battle, although the emperor conferred the title of Shilaozi Yongzhuangbo on him, this definitely had nothing to do with him, his illegitimate son.

According to Xuanyang law, the title of Earl of Yongzhuang fell to Lu Xiao's eldest son without any surprise.

Lu Yu was naturally ostracized.

So he has to continue to expand his power, otherwise his extremely jealous elder brother will soon send someone to assassinate him.

Lu Shanshan looked at Bai Yuan with a complicated expression.

Although her status in the Lu family was better than Lu Yu's, it was not much better.

Her eldest brother was not taken seriously in the past, but now that he has suddenly become extremely rich, he has become crazy and is merciless to the children that Lu Xiao loved before.

If she had not been in Huanglong Mansion, she might have been killed.

So she had no choice but to become a fellow traveler with Lu Yu.

"Sister Jiang, Master Bai is indeed the best choice for an alliance."

Lu Shanshan started talking.

She has the closest relationship with Jiang Yan, and one word from her can be more effective than a hundred words from Lu Yu.

And what she said was indeed true.

Looking at all the forces in Lingzhou, Changshou Palace has too close a relationship with the previous governor, so the only ones left are Qixing Sect and Shenfu Sect. In comparison, Shenfu Sect certainly has more potential.

Moreover, after the new prefect comes to Lingzhou, he will definitely clean up the remaining forces left by his predecessor. Shenfu Sect has a great hatred with the previous prefect, so it is the best alliance partner.

Jiang Yan took Lu Shanshan's hand and said, "Sister Lu is right."

Bai Yuan and Lu Yu looked at each other.

There's really no logic to women.

Three days later.

The new prefect came to Lingzhou. He stayed there for only one day before going south to Huanglongfu.

This shows the importance the new prefect attached to Huanglongfu.

A convoy of dozens of people drove slowly into the city of Huanglongfu. The dozens of cavalrymen were wearing silver armor and golden helmets. They rode a snow-white horse with long horns on its head. It was obviously a demon horse, and of a high grade.

There are not many forces in the North that can possess such a powerful cavalry.

The people in Huanglongfu City had never seen such a scene before, and they all stood on the street watching excitedly.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the person sitting in the luxurious carriage in the center of the convoy was the new governor of Lingzhou.

Everyone thought that the convoy's destination was the government office, but it stopped in front of a large mansion.

Without stepping on the pedal, a dashing middle-aged man opened the curtain of the sedan chair and jumped out of the carriage in a swift and decisive manner, with quite a military demeanor.

This person is the new governor of Lingzhou, Jiang Changping.

The new prefect was previously a general, so it was normal for him to have military habits.

The official career of Jiang Zhizhou is quite legendary. He was originally a scholar at Bailu Academy, one of the four major academies. Later, he secretly joined the army and became a soldier without telling the old minister. He even rose to the rank of a thousand households due to his outstanding military achievements.

When the emperor found out about it later, he was very pleased and promoted him to be the general of a state.

When everyone thought that Jiang Changping was very likely to become a general, he returned to being a civil official and became the governor of Lingzhou. It was rare in Xuanyang to find someone who was good at both civil and military affairs.

As Jiang Changping walked up the steps, the door was slowly opened from the inside.

Jiang Yan walked out from behind the door.

"Yan'er has met father."

Jiang Changping laughed: "My little Yan'er has grown taller again."

"."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Your daughter is already 25, is there still room for her to grow taller?!

But she finally endured it.

Jiang Changping laughed loudly, not looking like a scholar at all. He and Jiang Yan quickly came into the hall.

Jiang Yan made a pot of tea for her father.

Although Jiang Yan looks like a chivalrous woman, her tea-making skills are as good as those of the tea artists in Jiangnan, and are as smooth as flowing water.

Jiang Changping took a sip of the tea made by his daughter and leaned back in his chair comfortably.

It is still more comfortable to have a wife, children and a warm bed.

Jiang Yan saw that the time was right: "Father, I have a friend who wants to see you."

Jiang Changping's eyes lit up, and he thought, "Could it be that my old girl has finally come to her senses?!"

Most women of this era get married when they are only fourteen or fifteen years old. Jiang Yan is twenty-five now, which makes her an old girl.

He couldn't help but sit up straighter, wanting to see who his future son-in-law would be.

After a while, Bai Yuan walked in from outside.

Jiang Yan: "Father, this is Master Bai of the Shenfu Sect."

Jiang Changping raised his eyebrows.

The leader of Shenfu Sect?
Of course he had heard of Shenfu Gate.

Although the Shenfu Sect was indeed inferior to his Jiang Family, the boy in front of him had become the Sect Master of the Shenfu Sect at such a young age, so he was qualified enough to be his son-in-law.

"What do you think of Yan'er?"

Before Bai Yuan could speak, Jiang Changping discovered it first.

".Miss Jiang is skilled in martial arts, not inferior to any man, and her appearance is also top-notch."

Bai Yuan gave an objective evaluation.

Jiang Changping frowned slightly: "No more?"

".No more."

Jiang Yan, who was standing by, quickly sensed something was wrong and glared at Jiang Changping, "Father, Lord Bai wants to form an alliance with you, but he is already married."

Hearing this, Jiang Changping laughed dryly and thought to himself what a pity.

He thought that his ability in recognizing people was better than his ability in fighting. After just a moment of observation, he discovered that the young man in front of him was actually a genius in swordplay. His sword skills were so strong that even some famous old swordsmen in the world could not match him.

Such extraordinary understanding is hard to find in the world, not to mention that he has become the leader of a sect at such a young age. His strength must be good, and he is an excellent candidate for a son-in-law.

Jiang Changping returned to normal, but when it came to business, his aura suddenly changed, as sharp as a knife.

"Master Bai, I heard that Shenfu Sect has become a lost dog. Why should I cooperate with you?"

Bai Yuan did not answer, or rather, he wanted to answer with the long sword in his hand.

Under Jiang Yan's shocked gaze, Bai Yuan boldly pulled out the long sword from his back and slashed towards Jiang Changping's head.

Jiang Changping raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and actually used his two fingers to block Bai Yuan's fierce knife, with the blade firmly clamped between his two fingers.

The lobby was silent.

Jiang Yan looked at Bai Yuan in disbelief.

She didn't expect that the young leader of the Shenfu Sect would behave so violently and kill people at will. His murderous nature was even more terrifying than those generals of the Zhenbei Army who had killed countless people.

The smile on Jiang Changping's face became even more intense.

He looked at the young man in front of him with great interest.

"You are very good."

"In the future, Huanglongfu will still be Huanglongfu of Shenfumen, but people from Lingzhou can enter Huanglongfu to establish a base and do business."

Bai Yuan nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Yan was even more surprised. She looked at her father in confusion.

Could it be that his father had been stabbed and had become confused, so he actually agreed to the alliance?

However, Jiang Yan did not say anything to stop her.

She was not one of those women with long hair and short knowledge. She knew very well that with the help of Shenfu Sect, her father, the new governor with no foundation, would be able to firmly establish his position.

Bai Yuan: "I would like to thank the governor on behalf of Shenfu Sect."

After that, he turned and left.

Alliances always depend on the strength of the allies. Only by showing enough strength can Jiang Changping make up his mind, and his strength is the strength of the Shenfu Gate.

Thinking of the scene where Jiang Changping caught the sword with his bare hands just now, Master Zhigan is indeed very powerful.

Looking at the background of Bai Yuan leaving.

Only then did Jiang Changping shake his sore fingers.

Obviously, he didn't take the blow as easily as he made it appear.

"This kid is quite capable, but it's a pity that he got married too young, otherwise he could have been blessed with good fortune."

Jiang Yan finally couldn't help but kick her unreasonable father.

Of course she knew that the good fortune her father was talking about was not herself.
