The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

The Imperial Palace, Taiji Palace.

"Minister Chu, do you mean that the Yellow Heaven Sect will take over Ji Province, Jing Province, and Yan Province tonight?"

"Could it be that the two saints of the Yellow Heaven Sect, Ziye Wuhen, might even be lying in ambush with Zhao Wuyang and 300,000 troops of the Beijing Garrison?"

Empress Murong Si sat upright before her desk, her delicate brows slightly furrowed as she looked at Chu Xiu and spoke.

Pei Guanyin and Jiang Wan'er also looked at Chu Xiu with solemn expressions.

"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case."

Chu Xiu said with a serious expression.

"Does Minister Chu have any way to remedy this?"

Murong Si looked at Chu Xiu with a probing gaze and asked.

"Your Majesty, I have a solution, which Your Majesty will understand at a glance."

Chu Xiu took out a memorial from his sleeve and held it up with both hands.

Standing to the side, Jiang Wan'er walked up to Chu Xiu, took the memorial from his hand, returned to the imperial desk, and handed it to Murong Si.

Murong Si opened the memorial and began to read it carefully.

A moment later, a glint of light flashed in Murong Si's eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "Granted!"

Jingzhou, Jingzhou City.

The governor's mansion, main hall.

Li Cangwu, the governor of Jingzhou, was sitting upright at his desk, concentrating on his work, when suddenly he looked up, a look of surprise on his face, and asked, "Who?"

"Dongfang Xuanxiao".

A voice rang out from outside the lobby.

Li Cangwu frowned and said, "Dongfang Xuanxiao, the Prefectural Magistrate of Nanyang?"

As the governor of Jingzhou, he naturally couldn't possibly be unaware of Dongfang Xuanxiao.

It can be said that he knew all the officials, big and small, in every prefecture of Jingzhou, and Dongfang Xuanxiao was a truly influential figure in Jingzhou.

only……

As the Prefectural Assistant of Nanyang, even if Dongfang Xuanxiao wanted to see him, he needed to be informed by someone from the Governor's Office. Only after the Governor agreed to see Dongfang Xuanxiao could Dongfang Xuanxiao enter.

Now, Dongfang Xuanxiao entered the governor's mansion as if no one else was there.

A handsome young man, dressed in a black robe, with an imposing presence that commanded respect and an air of supreme authority, walked into the main hall.

It was none other than Dongfang Xuanxiao, the Prefectural Assistant of Nanyang Prefecture.

"Dongfang Xuanxiao, what are you trying to do by breaking into the governor's mansion?"

Li Cangwu stared coldly at Dongfang Xuanxiao and said.

"Of course, we'll send Lord Li on his way!"

Dongfang Xuanxiao smiled slightly and said.

"Dongfang Xuanxiao, are you planning a rebellion?"

Li Cangwu snorted coldly and said.

"rebel?"

"You can understand it that way."

Dongfang Xuanxiao shrugged and said.

"Men, seize Dongfang Xuanxiao for me!"

Li Cangwu gave Dongfang Xuanxiao a deep look and said with a chilling murderous aura.

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Lord Li. I've now taken control of the entire governor's mansion."

"Your men are all dead!"

Dongfang Xuanxiao said calmly.

"What did you say?"

Li Cangwu's expression suddenly changed. He abruptly stood up, gritted his teeth, and looked at Dongfang Xuanxiao, asking a question.

"From this moment on, I'm in charge of the entire Jingzhou!"

Dongfang Xuanxiao said calmly.

"Is Qin Yong one of your men?"

Li Cangwu's pupils contracted, and he stared intently at Dongfang Xuanxiao as he asked.

Qin Yong was the Commandant of Jingzhou, in charge of 50,000 troops.

"As expected of Lord Li, he guessed it right away."

"Qin Yong is indeed one of my men."

Dongfang Xuanxiao smiled calmly and said.

Li Cangwu paused for a moment, then looked at Dongfang Xuanxiao and asked, "Which holy son of the Yellow Heaven Sect are you?"

He had clearly guessed Dongfang Xuanxiao's true identity, which was very likely the Holy Son of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

However, he never expected that Dongfang Xuanxiao had been hiding in the Jingzhou officialdom for more than ten years, and he, the governor of Jingzhou, had not discovered it at all.

"The Great Holy Son".

Dongfang Xuanxiao said calmly.

"Great Holy Son, what a great Great Holy Son of the Yellow Heaven Sect! I underestimated your Yellow Heaven Sect."

"However, Dongfang Xuanxiao, even if I die today, I will capture you!"

Li Cangwu moved swiftly, his right hand forming a sword shape with his fingers, and attacked Dongfang Xuanxiao.

A terrifying sword aura appeared between heaven and earth. This sword seemed capable of piercing through heaven and earth. A ripple spread outwards from the sword aura in all directions, and the entire hall shattered at that moment.

"Peak of the first level of the Human Immortal Realm!"

"Lord Li's hidden strength is truly astounding. Indeed, no one who can become a high-ranking official in the Great Zhou Dynasty is simple!"

Dongfang Xuanxiao said with a look of amazement on his face, "However, Lord Li's strength is still not enough in front of me!"

"Fight! Kill!"

After saying that, Dongfang Xuanxiao clenched his right fist and threw a punch at Li Cangwu from a distance.

This punch was filled with boundless fighting spirit, ready to fight against heaven and earth!

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire governor's mansion.

With a single punch, Li Cangwu's sword energy shattered, and he was reduced to dust by Dongfang Xuanxiao's punch!

After throwing this punch, Dongfang Xuanxiao turned and walked out of the governor's mansion, which had been completely reduced to ruins.

"Greetings, Great Holy Son!"

Dozens of experts bowed and paid their respects to Dongfang Xuanxiao.

Among these dozens of people, the weakest was at the seventh level of the Celestial Realm, and most of them were at the Human Immortal Realm level.

The strongest among them has already reached the realm of Earth Immortal.

The one wearing full armor was Qin Yong, the Commandant of Jingzhou.

Those wearing Taoist robes are masters from the Yellow Heaven Sect.

There were seven people, though none of them were wearing Taoist robes.

These seven individuals are all at the Human Immortal Realm level and are members of sects affiliated with the Yellow Heaven Sect.

"Qin Yong, you are in charge of taking over the remaining eight counties of Jingzhou."

"Elder Zhao, you will be in charge of assisting."

"You only have one day. Within one day, the entire Jingzhou must belong to our Yellow Heaven Sect!"

With his hands behind his back, Dongfang Xuanxiao spoke in a deep and powerful voice.

The Elder Zhao he mentioned was no ordinary elder of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

Ordinary elders of the Yellow Heaven Sect are at the Human Immortal Realm, while the Guardian Elders are at the Earth Immortal Realm.

Elder Zhao Changming is a master at the Earth Immortal level!

"Yes, sir!"

"The general will obey the order!"

Qin Yong bowed to Zhao Changming with utmost respect.

Jizhou, Julu Commandery, Prefectural Governor's Office.

hall.

The hall was packed with officials from various prefectures and commanderies of Ji Province.

The one with the highest status among them was Helan Wu, the governor of Ji Province.

Jiang Botao, the governor of Jizhou, was among them.

Han Tianze, the governor of Julu County, slowly walked into the hall.

"Greetings to the Three Holy Sons."

He Lanwu and the others bowed to Han Tianze with utmost respect.

Their eyes were filled with awe as they looked at Han Tianze.

Julu County is the true base of the Yellow Heaven Sect, and the entire Ji Province has long been under the control of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

"No need to be polite."

Han Tianze waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Third Holy Son."

The crowd shouted in unison.

"I hereby declare to the world that from this day forward, the entire Ji Province shall be the territory of my Yellow Heaven Sect."

"The capital of the prefecture was changed from Jizhou City to Julu County City."

Han Tianze spoke in a strong and powerful voice.

"Yes!"

The crowd shouted again.

"Second Senior Brother should have taken Yanzhou by now. The next question is whether he can completely stop Zhao Wuyang and the 300,000-strong capital garrison!"

"As long as Second Senior Brother can keep Zhao Wuyang and the 300,000-strong capital garrison, he will surely shake the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Han Tianze stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards Yanzhou, and said quietly.

Yanzhou, Dongjun, Baima Mountain.

The night was dark and the wind was high. The cliff seemed about to topple, and the shadows of withered branches swayed like ghostly hands. A cold glint lurked in the depths of the dark ravine.

"General, once we reach the foot of Mount Baima, we will be able to enter Hanoi County and return to the capital."

"Should we set up camp here for the night and return to the capital at daybreak tomorrow?"

Xie Xuan, riding a tall and magnificent dragon-blood horse, addressed Zhao Wuyang, the Grand General of the Capital Garrison.
