His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

It must be said that the system's auxiliary capabilities are indeed extremely powerful.

After inspecting the fields, Xu Bing returned to his residence.

This matter cannot be rushed, and the actions must be small; otherwise, if the high-ranking officials in the court notice and various factions get involved, things will become troublesome.

Xu Bing returned to his residence and continued practicing his spear technique. He had a decent talent, and with the help of practicing with Ji Yuan, he gained a lot of experience, and his Dragon Playing Spear Technique quickly improved.

With consistent training, getting eight-pack abs isn't too far off.

in the afternoon.

He sat in his study, organizing his thoughts. He had so many things to do each day. If he didn't plan ahead and tackle them one by one, it was easy to fall into the strange situation of being busy every day but ultimately making no progress.

The task at hand should naturally begin with the simple things.

the first.

To expand the mansion.

second.

Investigate the water sources in the fields.

third.

In the imperial court, establish your own institutions.

His orders needed to be carried out. The original six ministries of Da Xi were all composed of people from aristocratic families. On the surface, they would never dare to disobey Xu Bing, but it was absolutely impossible to avoid them paying lip service while secretly disobeying him.

Therefore, this third point is also very important.

In addition, I need to set aside time to exercise every evening, and after midnight, I begin my spiritual practice.

Full to the brim.

It was a fulfilling experience, though.

Xu Bing opened the map near Daxi City. The map was old, and the large field did not appear on the map.

Based on today's visual assessment.

That field, estimated to be over forty acres, is surrounded by mountains, secluded in its location, and blessed with good feng shui; it is a truly auspicious field.

Ji Yuan once used this field to grow a type of rice called "Jiu Mi". This rice was also known as "Rice Gold". It was only thanks to the special properties of the field that this rice could be grown.

Xu Bing couldn't possibly manage that large area of ​​land by himself.

He needs people.

A figure appeared in his mind.

Right Wing Guard of the Imperial Guard: Gong Zhonghou!

Xu Bing's first impression of this person was that he was flexible and adaptable, had a certain amount of wisdom, and was very ambitious, wanting to climb to a higher position.

But there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

He is a person with hidden ferocity, who might even devour his master.

Available…

Moreover, in this day and age, it can be of great use!

……

Half an hour later.

Under the guise of the Imperial Guards patrolling the capital, Gong Zhonghou passed by Xu Bing's residence and secretly slipped inside.

"Grand Preceptor, did you call me?"

Gong Zhonghou knelt on one knee and asked with a slightly restrained expression.

He had heard about what had happened recently.

The man before them, with a flick of his sleeve, could seduce the Duke of Zhou (a figure in Chinese mythology associated with dreams)... He was at the height of his power in the entire Da Xi City.

He was right; the Imperial Advisor truly possessed extraordinary abilities.

"How about staying in the Imperial Guard?" Xu Bing asked bluntly.

Gong Zhonghou said, "Commander Shang dislikes his subordinates. If given the opportunity, I would like to leave the Imperial Guard and serve the Grand Preceptor!"

Xu Bing nodded upon hearing this.

"really."

"Yu Jin's talent is no less than yours, and he comes from a prestigious family. How can you possibly compete with him?"

Xu Bing tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"How about this?"

"I plan to establish a fire-cooking army, and you will be its commander. Call up all the brothers from the Imperial Guard who are of humble origins but eager to make a name for themselves."

Gong Zhonghou's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Grand Preceptor!"

……

evening.

The backyard of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Ji Yuan was full of vigor and had been patiently waiting for this moment all day. Her killing intent was almost solidified, and every shot was fatal.

However, Xu Bing also made great progress, and he was able to withstand dozens of moves from her without being at a disadvantage.

The two were locked in combat, seemingly evenly matched.

The situation suddenly changed. Ji Yuan suddenly erupted, the tip of her spear grazing Xu Bing's neck. After the latter narrowly avoided it, she twisted the spearhead again in a strange posture and stabbed Xu Bing in the abdomen.

This move caught Xu Bing completely off guard.

The spear pierced through Xu Bing's imperial advisor's robe, even causing traces of blood to seep out.

"Thirty-six Styles of Cloud-Parting Spear!"

Ji Yuan raised an eyebrow, her killing intent fully revealed, and thrust her spear at Xu Bing, who was repeatedly wounded by the swift attack and forced to retreat.

In the southeast corner of the backyard, there was a large tree with lush branches and leaves. Ji Yuan gradually forced Xu Bing toward the tree.

They were just waiting for the right moment to unleash their long-awaited killing move, delivering a fatal blow!

However, at this moment.

A crow cawed nearby.

Xu Bing smiled and said, "Oh, it's time."

The words fell.

A golden rope flew out from his sleeve and bound Ji Yuan's right ankle as he kicked.

The other end of the rope was wrapped around a tree branch.

Xu Bing calmly dusted himself off. "That was close," he thought. "In terms of martial arts alone, I still have too little experience fighting."

However, he clearly felt his progress and was much more composed than yesterday.

Ji Yuan's right leg was restricted, so he could only stand on one foot with the sole of his other foot facing upwards.

The spear stance they had just displayed was instantly broken.

"This damned magic weapon!" Ji Yuan felt a surge of anger.

The several times he nearly killed Xu Bing were all due to the magic weapon.

The magical treasures of Qi cultivators are a great threat to martial artists. Previously, as an emperor, she had never experienced the power of magical treasures.

But now, I've had my fill.

With just this one magical weapon, Xu Bing had her completely under his control.

Ji Yuan's long, fair legs were revealed, and a blush flashed across her face as she ordered, embarrassed and annoyed, "Put me down right now!"

Xu Bing, who seemed to be deep in thought, was taken aback, and then noticed Ji Yuan's graceful posture at that moment.

Ji Yuan's face turned even redder, tinged with anger, as he forced back his rage and said, "Do I need to say it a second time?"

A smile played on Xu Bing's lips. "Your Majesty, I will put you down when you say it for the twentieth time."

"What!" Ji Yuan's pupils shrank. Her imperial pride could not tolerate being insulted. Although she wanted to speak, she knew that yielding was the best outcome.

But she couldn't bend down.

She bit her lip, wanting to speak several times.

In the end, it never took place.

Seeing this, Xu Bing dusted himself off and left Ji Yuan alone in the backyard.

He went back to his bedroom in the front yard to rest.

tonight.

The bright moon hangs high.

The Empress stands on one leg.

It was quite amusing.

Xu Bing glanced through the window at the woman, who was as smelly and hard as a stone in a latrine.

The beautiful figure under the big tree.

They were quite pitiful.

Xu Bing withdrew his gaze and checked the panel as usual to see the day's harvest.

[Martial Arts: Profound Level 5]

[Prestige: 72]

[Charm: Ninety-nine]

……

Significant progress has been made.

It must be said that humans are indeed visual creatures. After she lost her old self and her appearance improved, Ji Yuan's attitude towards her obviously changed a bit.

Although he still wished he were dead.

but…

They no longer look at maggots with that same disdain.

At this time.

A low shout came from beside my ear.

All that could be heard was from deep within the backyard.

A trembling voice pleaded, "Minister Xu... I was wrong, please... put me down."
