Chapter 388: Survival of the Strong

Bai Yuan stayed in Huanglong Mansion for three days.

He went to Shenfu Gate and then left Qiaojie in Shenfu Mountain.

Huanglongfu is all his territory, and Qiaojie is safest in Huanglongfu.

After doing all this, he went to Lingzhou City alone.

Lingzhou City has now become a military town, and those living in the city are the troops heading north to fight against the Demon Sect.

The food in the city is also transported from all over Xuanyang.

Every day, grain transport convoys from all over the place can be seen entering the city. The food supply for 100,000 people is not a small number, and it is impossible to supply it relying solely on the three continents of Shuofang.

Fortunately, Xuanyang Taibao Yan Shaoan is in charge here personally, and no one dares to withhold food and fodder under the nose of this important figure.

Lingzhou City, in front of the city gate.

The prosperous scene with bustling traffic has long disappeared, replaced by a heavily guarded army.

"Master Bai?!"

The guard general at the city gate looked at Bai Yuan in shock.

Lingzhou is very far away from the capital, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know what’s happening in the capital.

Half of the officials brought by Taibao Yan Shaoan are from Beijing, so they certainly have their own channels of information.

The news that Bai Yuan was leaving Beijing to take up the post of Jiedushi of Shuofang had already spread in Lingzhou City.

The guards at the city gate just didn't expect Bai Yuan to come so quickly.

Since his identity had been recognized, Bai Yuan didn't need to waste any more words.

"I want to go into the city to see Lord Yan."

"Yes!"

The guard immediately led Bai Yuan towards the former provincial government office in the city with a respectful attitude.

Whether Bai Yuan was the general before or the governor now, he was not someone that a mere seventh-rank military officer like him could offend.

After a while, Bai Yuan arrived at the Lingzhou government office.

Logically speaking, when he took office as the Jiedushi of Shuofang, the administrative office should have been set up in Lingzhou, continuing the previous practice of Du Qinghui.

But Yan Shaoan, a top figure who ranks among the three highest officials, happened to be here, and of course he would not let that big shot move.

Therefore, Bai Yuan still planned to set up Huanglongfu as an administrative office.

Bai Yuan strode into the provincial government office.

There were many officials walking hurriedly in the front yard of the provincial government. When they saw Bai Yuan, they stopped involuntarily.

Bai Yuan ignored him and walked straight into the lobby after the guard reported him.

"Your subordinate Bai Yuan, I pay my respects to Lord Yan."

I saw Yan Shaoan sitting on the armchair at the top of the hall.

He waved his hand calmly: "No need to be so polite to me."

Yan Shaoan looked at Bai Yuan with admiration.

He had expected Bai Yuan to return to Lingzhou, or rather, he recommended Bai Yuan to the Qianlong Gang and sent him to Beijing for gilding so that he could rise to the top and take over Du Qinghui's position as the Jiedushi of Shuofang.

He just didn't expect Bai Yuan's progress to be so fast. In less than a year, he completed the journey that was originally planned to take at least ten years.

And he took a path that even he was surprised about.

Originally according to his plan, Bai Yuan would become a Minister of War with the help of Xu Dingchun after going to the capital.

The Ministry of War was originally an office that managed martial artists and soldiers across the country.

After that, Emperor Li Chengyuan could legitimately appoint Bai Yuan as the Jiedushi of Shuofang to control the northern border.

But Bai Yuan chose to go to the Censorate, and it was said that it caused a lot of trouble in the city.

Although they ended up in the same place, he still became the Jiedushi of Shuofang.

"How are you going to do it?"

Yan Shaoan has a very military style and doesn't talk nonsense.

This was also the last test before Bai Yuan cleaned up the northern border. He and Emperor Li Chengyuan had long had the idea of ​​bringing all the sects under the management of the court, but there were some things that neither he nor Li Chengyuan could do personally.

It’s not that they feel it’s a disgrace, but it will have too much impact on Xuanyang’s fortune, so they need a knife.

And Bai Yuan is the knife that Yan Shaoan chose.

In fact, to be precise, it was Du Qinghui's choice.

In addition to him and Emperor Li Chengyuan, Du Qinghui also supported the court in controlling the underworld and the military.

Bai Yuan groaned: "Start with the weak and then the strong, start with the close and then the far, and take steady steps."

Yan Shaoan was not satisfied with Bai Yuan's answer: "What do you plan to do Tianxuan Sect?"

"Gather strength and make a concerted effort."

After hearing this, Yan Shaoan felt somewhat satisfied.

He also knew that Bai Yuan would not have an easy time this time.

If it were really that simple, Xuan Yang would have unified the martial arts world five hundred years ago.

Didn’t the grandfather of the current emperor Li Chengyuan personally take action to suppress the martial arts world, but was later killed by the backlash of his luck?

Yan Shaoan waved his hand: "Go ahead."

He didn't say any more.

As the saying goes, use people without suspicion and don't use people with suspicion.

Bai Yuan was the person chosen by him, Du Qinghui and the emperor, so of course he should be allowed to do his best.

"I am resigning."

Bai Yuan slowly left the provincial government office.

After leaving the provincial government gate, he walked alone on the slightly deserted streets of Lingzhou.

In fact, he already had some guesses when he first arrived in the capital and met his advisor Xu Dingchun.

Xu Dingchun had already seen through the intentions of Du Qinghui, Yan Shaoan, and Li Chengyuan, so he made a special trip to walk with Bai Yuan for a while just to give him a chance to choose.

If Bai Yuan is unwilling to make this knife, then as his master, he must of course protect his disciple.

There are actually only three people in the court who can snatch people from Li Chengyuan.

Although Bai Yuan did not go to the Ministry of War according to Yan Shaoan's design, his going to the Censorate also showed that he was willing to make the knife, but it was just a little more difficult.

Although Xu Dingchun, Du Qinghui and Yan Shaoan were political enemies, it did not prevent them from sharing the same opinion on cleaning up the underworld and even the military.

Therefore, after he was recalled to the capital with thirteen golden medals, he never took any extreme actions. Otherwise, with his prestige in the military, the Zhenbei Army would definitely rebel!

Bai Yuan looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

The coolness has already swept across Lingzhou and will soon cover the entire northern border.

He made the knife voluntarily, of course.

Although he looked indifferent on the surface, the appearance of Mr. Yuan still put him under great pressure.

If he really is a demon, he will be besieged by people all over the world.

The Demon Sect cannot be trusted, so he only trusts the knife in his hand.

Cleaning up the martial arts world will inevitably involve bloodshed, and killing is the fastest way for Bai Yuan to grow, so he did not hesitate to express his attitude to Emperor Li Chengyuan.

Since you're going to kill, kill to your heart's content!
The coldness on Bai Yuan's face was even colder than the snow and wind.

He must improve his strength as quickly as possible, and that would have to make the North tremble.

Bai Yuan returned to Shenfu Mountain again.

He also went to find the great demon Li Li on purpose.

This time he no longer had the fear he had before, and he even reached a deal with Li Li, that is, Li Li would help protect the Shenfu Gate, and he would help Li Li find a way to open the confinement.

Lili agreed readily.

After everything is settled.

On a snowy night, Bai Yuan rode a horse with a group of people and left Huanglong Mansion, heading straight for Yuzhou.
