Chapter 428 Business Power
By recruiting soldiers and forging weapons, Bai Yuan is almost equivalent to a king of a different surname!

"Eunuch Chang, this is truly what His Majesty meant."

Even Bai Yuan couldn't help but confirm it again.

Eunuch Chang nodded with a smile: "Master Bai, don't worry, this is what His Majesty said in person, and there is a secret letter to prove it."

After saying this, Eunuch Chang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

There was a line of small words written on it, which was exactly what he had just said.

"."

Bai Yuan looked at the note and fell silent.

The two sat opposite each other, drinking tea quietly. After a long time, Bai Yuan slowly spoke: "Since it is your majesty's trust, I will do my best."

When Eunuch Chang saw Bai Yuan agreed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Bai Yuan really refused, he would really be unable to report to his superiors.

This matter was emphasized by Emperor Li Chengyuan and is extremely important.

Now the south, west and east have all been devastated by the flames of war. Although the north is invaded by demons from the south, it is generally stable. Therefore, Emperor Li Chengyuan will never allow Xuanyang to fall into a situation of four wars. The north must be stable!
He had sent out four military governors before, but he finally chose Bai Yuan.

The reason is simple, just because Bai Yuan is strong enough.

The fact that he had previously defeated Grandmaster Mingxin was enough to overwhelm the other military governors.

Li Chengyuan actually had another idea in mind, which was that once the Central Plains and Jiangnan fell, the Li royal family could at least retreat to the northern border. Although Bai Yuan was strong, he was not yet a god after all, and was much easier to control than the three people with complex forces behind them.

That's why he summoned Xu Dingchun to the west and left the northern border to Master Bai Yuan and the other three military governors.

The North is already weak, and these forces are enough to suppress all enemies in the North.

that's the truth.

Although there was war in the North, it was generally much more stable than other places in Xuanyang.

Eunuch Chang suddenly stood up and bowed to Bai Yuan: "Master Bai, now is a chaotic situation. Your Excellency is righteous. I would like to thank you on behalf of His Majesty."

Bai Yuan turned slightly to avoid the salute from Eunuch Chang.

The reason why he agreed was not because of any great cause.

It's just in line with one's own interests.

With the power to recruit soldiers and cast weapons, he can form an army completely under the Bai clan in Shuofang. If Xuanyang is really destroyed in the future, he can rely on this powerful army to compete for the Central Plains, and even if he retreats, he can keep his family safe.

Only absolute strength is the real confidence.

Bai Yuan said calmly: "It's just my job."

Eunuch Chang was overjoyed to receive Bai Yuan's affirmation. He was eager to return home and could not wait to tell Li Chengyuan the news.

The current emperor is no longer the broad-minded monarch of the past. He is violent, cruel, and cold-blooded. Several ministers and eunuchs have been beheaded by him personally.

The reason why Eunuch Chang was so nervous was that he was worried that Li Chengyuan would attack him.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

If Li Chengyuan was a tiger that would choose its prey before, he has now reached the point where he will eat anything he wants. If someone doesn't do what he wants, the person will end up in a miserable state.

Now that he was finally relieved, of course he had to hurry back.

After Bai Yuan sent Eunuch Chang away, he immediately told Yang Fangyu and Li Huan the news.

After hearing the news, both of them were so shocked that they were speechless, especially Li Huan. As the prince of King Qingzhou, he knew too well the significance of these two powers, which were almost equivalent to those of princes!
Capable of rebellion at any time.

Li Huan couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

He had just left a palace, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Bai Yuan had become a figure almost comparable to the prince.

It's true that after a dark tunnel there is always a new hope.

Bai Yuan thought of Tang Tie first.

After he brought Tang Tie to Huanglongfu that year, Tang Tie has been running the blacksmith shop. His business is now very big, and I heard that it has even expanded to other states.

Now he has the power to forge weapons himself, and Tang Tie is simply a perfect professional for this.

Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while.

This sentence finally came true.

As a famous blacksmith master in the North, Tang Tie is bound to shine.

Bai Yuan immediately asked someone to call Tang Tie over.

Tang Tie looked at Bai Yuan, somewhat confused.

Ever since he came to Huanglong Mansion, Bai Yuan had pretty much left him alone, but he would always respond to his requests. He felt very comfortable with such a boss, and with Bai Yuan's influence, he would be able to open shops all over the northern border soon.

However, he and Bai Yuan would only meet each other at the end of each year when they reconciled accounts.

Why is it earlier now?
Bai Yuan smiled and patted Tang Tie on the shoulder: "Tang Tie, there is a big deal, do you want to do it?"

Tang Tie's eyes lit up. Even Bai Yuan said it was a big deal, so it must be no simple matter. "Master Bai, just give your orders."

Bai Yuan: "The Emperor has granted me the power to forge weapons. If I ask you to arm an army of 100,000 men, can you do it?"

Hearing this, Tang Tie, like Yang Fangyu and the others before him, showed an expression of disbelief.

But Tang Tie is not a dull person. Considering the recent situation in Xuanyang, he quickly guessed most of it.

"Do your best and leave nothing to chance."

Tang Tie's words were sonorous.

If it weren't for Bai Yuan, he and his sister wouldn't have lived such a comfortable life these years. Since they have gained benefits, there must be a day for rewards. Tang Tie has always been a grateful person.

Bai Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, if you need anything, just ask Yang Zhizhou."

The blacksmith shop run by Tang Tie already had a very good foundation, and with a little renovation it could become a weapons foundry that could support an army of 100,000.

Now that the problem of casting weapons has been solved, the next thing to worry about is recruiting soldiers.

Bai Yuan thought in his heart.

Recruiting soldiers may seem like a personal issue, but it is actually a money issue.

This is a world of martial arts. Ordinary soldiers are meaningless cannon fodder. Only martial artists are truly valuable. But the price of supporting a martial artist is too high. The taxes from the four states of Shuofang combined are barely enough to support an army of 10,000 elite martial artists.

Fortunately, the four continents of Shuofang have been preparing for war for many years, so their foundation is still pretty good and they can be used.

Of course, the best way is to directly take over those underworld forces.

Every sect has masters, and the total number is not small.

Bai Yuan went back to Shenfu Mountain that day and met up with the sect leader Ouyang Hua.

The two had a conversation.

No one knows the content of the conversation, but the end result is that Shenfu Sect sent out all its elite members. The purpose was very simple, which was to turn all the martial arts sects in the four continents of Shuofang into subordinate sects of Shenfu Sect.

Once Bai Yuan needs people, the upper sect will ask the lower sect to transfer people. Isn't this reasonable?
Only three days had passed, and great changes had taken place in Shuofang except for Qingzhou.

This efficiency was seen by Qingzhou Prince Li You, who drooled with envy.

Having government orders communicated smoothly is an extremely luxurious thing in any dynasty. How could Li You not be envious when results were achieved so quickly?
Everything is proceeding in full swing.

Just when Shuofang was working hard, a shocking news came.

The Tianxuan faction rebelled!
This news undoubtedly spread in Xuanyang like thunder, and they were even joining forces with the Red Turban Army.

All along, although the big clans in the martial arts world had all taken action, they had still behaved very restrainedly, at most they had only funded those who rebelled, but the Tianxuan Sect was the first to rebel so blatantly. What was even more shocking was that almost at the same time when the Tianxuan Sect declared its uprising, the Jiedushi guarding Lingzhou was actually beheaded.

You know, the one who can become a Jiedushi must be the Grand Master Mingxin.

Anyone who can kill Grand Master Mingxin must be unfathomable in strength.

The strength of the Lingzhou Jiedushi is not comparable to that of Xia Han and Jiumoshi, whom Bai Yuan had killed before.

Soon, the true identity of the murderer who killed the Lingzhou Jiedushi was revealed. It turned out to be a supreme ancestor of the Tianxuan Sect who had died of old age. Because of his broken luck, this ancestor got a chance to break through the divine level before his life was about to end.

It's really the fate that makes people.

As for why this ancestor led the Tianxuan Sect to rebel, no one knows.

The situation in the originally stable northern border suddenly became confusing.

The first to be affected was naturally the Zhenbei Army.

In addition to resisting the southward advance of the demon tribe, suppressing rebellion is also an extremely important part of the Zhenbei Army, not to mention that Lingzhou, where the Tianxuan Sect is located, is not far from Xiangzhou.

General Dong Wanjun, the Zhenbei General, did not indulge the Tianxuan Sect.

He led the Zhenbei Army to fight a fierce battle with the Tianxuan Army at the border between Xiang and Ling states.

When the two armies were fighting, General Xu Dingchun, who was in charge of the Zhenxi Army, spoke directly.

He didn't care how the Tianxuan Sect attacked him, but if the Supreme Elder dared to take action, he didn't mind making that Elder live fifty years less.

This is not just empty talk.

Xu Dingchun is almost the youngest master of spiritual power in the world, and has the capital to exchange his life for others.

Even if the ancestor of Tianxuan Sect breaks through, he can only live for another hundred years at most, and he cannot withstand the consumption.

The result was just as expected. The old ancestor did not take action, but some masters from the Tianxuan Sect would appear from time to time, causing great headaches for the Zhenbei Army.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that those unfamiliar strong men were masters from other martial arts sects who came to support them.

Outside Huanglongfu City.

From a camp that occupied almost the entire valley, the sound of training could be heard from time to time.

An army of several thousand men was standing in a square formation with strict military discipline, seemingly waiting for something.

Finally, several figures appeared in the front.

The next second, a roar like a tsunami rang out: "Fight, fight, fight!"

Li Huan raised his lips slightly, looking at Bai Yuan as if to ask for credit: "How is it?"

Bai Yuan looked at the well-disciplined and well-equipped army and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

As a military governor, he certainly had no time to train the troops himself, so he handed this task over to Li Huan, who was responsible for training the troops himself.

Unexpectedly, the effect is surprisingly good.

Such a powerful army, looking at the entire Xuanyang, perhaps only the elite troops from all four directions can compare with it.

Of course, all of this is built with money.

Fortunately, Bai Yuan had killed so many monsters that he had stockpiled a large amount of high-level monster meat, so he was able to support a team of this size. There were three powerful perceptual masters alone, and even more people were involved.

Not only that, thousands of people were equipped with magical horses and covered in light armor made of Tang iron. They were simply the elite among the elite.

Only an army of this magnitude could have the confidence to sweep across the north.

Bai Yuan slowly walked up to the platform.

"You are all from the Shuofang Army. Follow me to the battle. The first one to reach the top will be rewarded with a divine weapon, the one who breaks the formation will be rewarded with monster meat, the one who kills the enemy will be promoted by two ranks, and the one who captures the flag will be rewarded with a martial arts technique!"

When the soldiers in the audience heard Bai Yuan's words, their eyes turned red with excitement.

They joined the Shuofang Army, of course, not for some empty slogan like defending the country, but to get promoted and make money.

Martial artists earn a lot, but spend even more, so most martial artists are not as wealthy as imagined.

Too many martial artists have failed to make progress throughout their lives because of their poor family background.

If you want to become stronger, you must fight hard. Joining the Shuofang Army is a good way to do so.

It's all because this governor is so generous.

As long as you make achievements, you will have all kinds of skills and magical weapons.

They had even established more than ten pages of military merit rules, and even appointed Li Huan to supervise the matter.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Bai Yuan looked at the thousands of excited people and shouted, "Move out!"

On that day, seven thousand Shuofang troops left Lingzhou!
In a valley at the junction of Lingxiang states.

The originally dense forest has long disappeared, and now it has become a battlefield where the Tianxuan Sect and the Zhenbei Army are fighting.

The charred and blood-red land after being burned looked particularly creepy.

I don’t know how many souls are buried here, but the war still shows no signs of stopping.

There is a majestic city several miles away from the valley. This is where the Tianxuan Sect’s army is stationed. It was originally an ordinary county town in Lingzhou.

The original county government office in the city has now become a place where Tianxuan faction generals discuss war.

Linghu Yang is in the lobby of the county government office at this moment.

A man with a knife had cold eyes and a scary scar on his face.

"The Dong guy is really powerful. We were ambushed."

The man with the knife looked grim.

The knife on his face was caused by Dong Wanjun.

Linghu Yang: "Brother Fu, you've worked hard. Go and heal your wounds first."

The Tianxuan sect does not have a Grandmaster Mingxin named Fu. Even if the luck of the world were to flow backwards, not everyone would have the luck of the founder to break through. It would be considered very good if most people could maintain their original realm.

This man named Fushan is a master from the Zhengyang Sect. This time he came to help the Tianxuan Sect.

On the surface, it was the Tianxuan Sect that revolted, but in fact, the Zhengyang Sect contributed a lot behind the scenes.

This was also the deal reached between the founder and the head of the Zhengyang Sect, Mr. Song.

Emperor Xuanyang Li Chengyuan had previously intended to clean up the martial arts world and plunder its fortune, which completely touched the reverse scale of the major martial arts sects, and the Zhengyang Sect was the one that reacted the most.

Now that the court's fortune has declined, Zhengyangmen will certainly take this opportunity to bring down Li Chengyuan.

Even if it is impossible to change the dynasty, we must support an emperor who is more friendly to the world to come to power.

To achieve this, Zhengyang Sect paid a huge price, otherwise why would Tianxuan Sect be willing to be the first to take action.

Linghu Yang stared at the sand table in the center of the hall.

I saw that a city in the south of Lingzhou had been taken away.

And the person who captured the city was Bai Yuan, who had fought a life-and-death battle with him!

"He is indeed here."
