Chapter 387: Returning Home with a Gilded Heart

In the autumn of the forty-seventh year of Yuanding.

The post of Shuofang Jiedushi, which had been vacant for several years, finally welcomed a new official.

It was the former Lingzhou general, Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan was promoted to the governor of Shuofang and appointed as the right censor-in-chief, supervising all officials in the northern border.

As soon as the news came out, the government and the public were shocked.

No one expected that Bai Yuan would be promoted so quickly, and this time he was even appointed as the Jiedushi of Shuofang, which is comparable to the six ministers of the six ministries. His power was so great that it was unimaginable.

Some discerning people in the capital have already seen the clues.

It was obvious that Emperor Li Chengyuan wanted to use Bai Yuan to clean up all the martial arts sects in the northern border.

Now that the war between Xuan Yang and the Demon Sect has eased, the imperial court can no longer hold back on its determination to take action against the martial arts world.

The North is most likely just the beginning, and a huge wave is about to sweep across Xuanyang.

In the early morning, the cool autumn wind blew the withered and yellow willow branches.

A not particularly eye-catching carriage slowly drove out of the capital.

Bai Yuan and Xiao Qiaoniang were sitting in the carriage.

Yes, the imperial edict from Emperor Li Chengyuan has been delivered, the court meeting has been opened, and it is time for him to leave the capital and go back to the capital.

Yesterday, Li Chengyuan specially sent Eunuch Chang to deliver a jade sword.

This sword has a very famous name among the people, the Shangfang Sword.

This is the sword that is said to be able to kill royal relatives and corrupt officials. This shows Li Chengyuan's determination to clean up the underworld in the northern border.

In fact, there were signs of all this long ago.

From Bai Yuan joining the Hidden Dragon List to going to Beijing to serve as an official, everything was actually a preparation for today's events.

Emperor Li Chengyuan and Grand Tutor Yan Shaoan were the main forces behind the cleansing of the martial arts world. It seems that Yan Shaoan recommended Bai Yuan to be included in the Hidden Dragon List in preparation for today's plan.

The underworld in the northern border might be slightly stronger than that in the southern border, making it the best target.

And Bai Yuan is the most suitable candidate.

Xiao Qiaoniang touched the imperial sword wrapped in the jade scabbard.

"Brother Yuan, I have only heard of this sword from storytellers, but I never thought I would have the chance to touch it."

Bai Yuan smiled slightly: "That's nothing, I'll give you the Nine Heavens Mysterious Soldier to try later."

Xiao Qiaoniang: "Brother Yuan, please don't brag."

Bai Yuan did not make any excuses.

Others think that he has reached the peak of his life, but he knows that this is just the beginning.

It is precisely because of the confidence given by the plug-in that he can remain calm in the face of praise or criticism.

Otherwise, he might be like Fan Jin who passed the imperial examination. Even if he was not ecstatic to the point of madness, he would at least have a feast for several days.

Although he is now only a second-rank Jiedushi of Shuofang, and his rank is much lower than that of the other Jiedushi, he is also a real local important official.

Not to mention that this time he also lost his position as Right Censor-in-Chief.

Except for a few military governors in the northern border, all others must be supervised by him.

All of this was done to help him clean up the underworld in the North.

Or it was to deal with the Tianxuan Sect.
If one wants to rectify the Northern martial arts world, the Tianxuan Sect, the number one sect in the North, is a huge obstacle that cannot be avoided.

From the time Bai Yuan went to Beijing to take up his post to his current return home, everything was done to build momentum for him and put pressure on the Tianxuan Sect.

But if Bai Yuan wants to truly accomplish his mission, the key lies in his own strength.

So when Bai Yuan left Beijing, Li Chengyuan just said that he had a long way to go and did not urge Bai Yuan to take immediate action.

It is not an easy task to bring down the underworld in the North.

This journey will surely be extremely difficult and dangerous.

"According to the date, A Yuan should be arriving in Yanzhou soon."

Yang Fangyu looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky. It was not yet winter, but light snow had already fallen in Lingzhou.

As a Jiangnan native, he was not used to it when he first came to the North, but he got used to it later. "Brother Bai is indeed promising."

A woman's voice sounded.

Yang Fangyu was a little jealous: "Is your husband a loser?"

The woman was Yang Fangyu's wife, Yan Hongxiu.

Now that the war in Lingzhou has ended and Taibao Yan Shaoan is personally in charge, the country has returned to its former peace.

The Yan family still didn't want Yan Hongxiu to live in Lingzhou, but Yan Hongxiu would still come to Lingzhou and live for a month.

"Dad is the best."

A childish voice sounded.

Yang Fangyu lovingly picked up a little boy who looked like a porcelain doll. This little boy was naturally his son, Yang Xueqing.

He and Yan Hongxiu are both sentient martial artists, and it is not easy to have a child, so he dotes on this son particularly.

Yan Hongxiu looked at the father and son playing and smiled happily.

As an outstanding disciple of the Yang family, although Yang Fangyu is not as good as those evil geniuses like Bai Yuan, he is not bad either. He is already the Tongzhi of Lingzhou when he is less than 40 years old.

As long as he accumulates some achievements and with the support of the Yang and Yan families, it is very likely that he will return to Jiangnan and become a Tongzhi.

The fourth rank in Jiangnan is much more precious than the fourth rank in Lingzhou.

If Yang Fangyu's realm could be further improved, he might even be able to become an assistant minister of one of the six ministries. This would be a very good future, and he would also be able to become a top figure in both the Yang and Yan families.

Just as the family was having a great time, an old servant walked in.

"Master, there is someone outside who wants to see you. He claims to be your brother."

"Oh?"

Yang Fangyu held his son and walked to the gate with his wife.

"A Yuan, how come you're here so soon?"

Standing outside the door were Bai Yuan and Xiao Qiaoniang.

"Brother Bai, sister-in-law, please come to the inner room."

As Yan Hongxiu spoke, she took Xiao Qiaoniang's hand and walked towards the yard.

Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu walked behind.

"When the Cao Gang heard that I was going north, they specially prepared a boat and took a section of the waterway, so I arrived a few days earlier."

Hearing this, Yang Fangyu showed an envious look.

Only if you are strong enough can you have the best of both worlds.

It is not easy to get on the Cao Gang’s ship. The reason why Bai Yuan was treated so well, apart from his official position, was more importantly due to his own strength.

"How long do you plan to stay in Huanglong Mansion?"

"Three days."

Bai Yuan smiled slightly.

This time when he returned to Lingzhou, he was no longer the chief official of a state. To put it in a smaller sense, he was the governor of Ling, Qingyu and three states. To put it in a larger sense, he came to control the entire northern border. Of course, he could not stay in Huanglongfu for too long.

Even in Lingzhou, I won’t stay for too long.

The largest sect in Lingzhou now is the Shenfu Sect, so he doesn't need to do anything.

The situation is similar in Qingzhou. Despite the Qingzhou Royal Palace, there are almost no significant sects in Qingzhou.

The only thing that requires more attention is Yuzhou.

Yang Fangyu was a little curious: "A Yuan, are you planning to continue north to Lingzhou City?"

Bai Yuan nodded. He did not hide his plan from Yang Fangyu.

"Your Majesty asked me to come to Lingzhou to register the sects in the northern border. I plan to pay my respects to Lord Yan first, and then go to Yuzhou."

When Yang Fangyu heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath.

A Yuan is very arrogant now, and he even talks about the entire northern border.

There is really a bright future!
