Nangong Weiyang frowned and said, "Master, why did Qin You appear at this time?"

Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "You'll know once you see him."

soon,

Gu Zhan arrived outside a hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin You sitting inside, accompanied by Zheng Yangge, deputy superintendent of Qintian Prison.

Gu Zhan cupped his hands and said: "Qin Jian Zheng, Deputy Jian Zheng Yang, how come you two have time to come to Yunxi, and how come the rebellion in Yundong has been suppressed?"

Qin You and Qin You stood up and held their hands in salute.

Qin You smiled and said: "Yundong is very important, and Yunxi is also very important. Didn't I know that Lord Gu had turned Yunxi upside down and caused big trouble, so in the spirit of alliance, I came here to help Lord Gu?"

"

Gu Zhan ordered his servants to pour tea, then slowly sat down, looked at Qin You, smiled slightly and said, "What, Master Qin is going to help me fight?"

"It's not a bad idea!" Qin You said: "This time, Qin Tianjian has a total of two top masters, eight great masters, and thirteen grand masters. We traveled lightly all the way. If Mr. Gu needs our help in fighting,

, give the order, and I will personally go into battle!"

Gu Zhan was stunned. He was just teasing Qin You a few words, but he didn't expect that the other party actually took it seriously. However, he didn't believe in the so-called alliance that Qin You said, let alone that they were really here to help him.

Fighting.

"Okay," Gu Zhan waved his hand directly and said, "Qin Jianzheng, it's quite pleasant for us to cooperate. Don't beat around the bush and tell us directly. What do you want to do in Yunxi this time?"

Qin You smiled and said, "I'm really here to help Master Gu in your fight."

Gu Zhan smiled and said nothing.

Qin You shook his head helplessly and said: "So, it's normal for Mr. Gu not to believe it. I came here this time and brought a gift to Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu believed it after seeing it."

While talking, Qin You took a tray from Yang Ge, lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing two imperial decree lists, stood up and said: "Master Gu, please accept the decree!"

Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, but still stood up and bent down to hold his hands.

This Daxia Kingdom, like most dynasties in Gu Zhan's previous life, does not like to kneel down in worship, but anyone with a title or official status does not need to kneel down even when they see the emperor.

Of course, people will kneel down at every turn,

Even in the history of previous lives, only the whip dynasty created it in order to enslave ideas.

As Gu Zhan performed the ceremony,

Qin Youlang said loudly: "According to the emperor's edict: Gu Zhan, the governor of Canglan Road, can conquer and fight well... Well, forget it, Master Gu, you can see for yourself!"

Gu Zhan took the imperial edict and read it with confusion.

Soon, he read the two imperial edicts with a confused look on his face.

In these two decrees,

As a Jinyiwei, he became a great hero in guarding Yunxi for the imperial court and resisting the invasion of the White Lotus Sect. He repeatedly noticed the White Lotus Sect's plans against Yunxi.

During the battle at Danyang Mountain, the various sects of Lu Yuandao colluded with the White Lotus Sect to plot rebellion, but he discovered and stopped it in time.

And when he came from Yundong to Yunxi, he also endured humiliation and shouldered heavy burdens, etc. All kinds of great achievements were attributed to him.

Finally, the emperor was grateful for his hard work and meritorious service, and named him Marquis of Yun, with a fiefdom of Canglan City, and even made him a second-grade general of the army, responsible for guarding Yunzhou.

Gu Zhan looked at these two imperial edicts and was very confused.

The Marquis, and the general of the army,

For a marquis and a military position, the title was too high, which directly made him a powerful marquis and one of the top nobles in the Xia Kingdom.

Gu Zhan frowned slightly,

Now he was a little doubtful whether Qin You had falsely conveyed the imperial edict in order to deceive him.

It's just a matter of being canonized as a marquis, but using Yunzhou as the title is of great significance. It almost directly designated Gu Zhan as the official of Yunzhou's border. With this status, all affairs in Yunzhou, whether officialdom or Jianghu

, he can intervene in everything, even in Yunzhou Shuntian Mansion, he can point fingers, but Yunzhou Prefect still has to smile.

And the general of the Zhenjun army is even more terrifying,

If marquis is status, and general is real power,

If he is just a marquis, others can still defy the situation, but the general of the army is different. This is the real official of the border. He holds the military power of a place and takes over a military government. According to the military system of Xia State,

, the general of the town army, who can control an army of 300,000 people.

These 300,000 troops are not comparable to the thousands of soldiers in the Canglan Taoist Army Town House today. These 300,000 are regular troops with military establishments and can request from the court every year for the allocation of food, grass, military pay and armaments.

The Marquis' fiefdom is Canglan City, and the military headquarters is also in Yunxi.

Looking at these two imperial edicts,

The more Gu Zhan thought about it, the more confused he became.

These two canonizations, if placed in a peaceful era, would be equivalent to directly conferring Yunxi to oneself.

And what is the purpose of the imperial court doing this?

If you were to use yourself to regain Yunxi, you would not be so willing to do so. If you were really so willing, you might as well just leave it to Sword King City. With the power of Sword King City, Yunxi would have been recovered long ago, and today's Yunxi will not be like this.

It's a mess.

Moreover, the strength he has shown now is not enough to suppress the entire Yunxi.

Qin You saw Gu Zhan's doubts and said: "Master Gu, the imperial edict has been sent. As for the other monetary rewards, they have been sent to Canglan City. The people from Qintian Prison I brought this time are in Yu

You can give orders at any time in the city.

I also know that you must have a lot of doubts in your mind now, but the person who can answer your doubts is not me. Well, the person who can help you answer your doubts should have already entered the city. You should want to see him more, so I will go first

Farewell, I won’t disturb you anymore!”

Gu Zhan escorted Qin You and Yang Ge out of the gate of the manor.

Wait until the two of them are far away,

Nangong Weiyang walked out of the courtyard and said: "My lord, this matter is a bit strange. Although the imperial court has become more and more decadent in recent years, it has always strictly controlled titles and military power. This is the foundation of the country. It is unlikely that

They were easily given out. In order to pacify Yunxi, Yang Yunzhi proposed to stabilize Yunxi with titles, which almost caused the court to explode. But even so, the court only released a few earl titles in the end. This time things were too big.

It’s weird!”

Gu Zhan nodded and said: "It is indeed very strange, but for us, it should be a good thing. Someone should be helping me behind the scenes."

Nangong Weiyang raised her eyebrows and said, "Who can have such great energy?"

Gu Zhan smiled slightly and said slowly: "It should be him."

Nangong Weiyang was confused.

"Those who don't distinguish between light and darkness, just want to catch up with my pace, and successfully catch up with my pace!"

After saying that, Gu Zhan stepped out.

…

Yucheng was originally one of the most prosperous cities in Luyuan Road. However, in recent times, Yucheng has seemed a bit deserted. The traders who used to come from north to south have disappeared, and the people who can be seen everywhere on the streets have also disappeared.

, even the wealthy young men who usually like to show off in the market did not come out very often, and most of the long-lasting entertainment venues such as brothels and gambling houses were closed.

Flags of the Beidou Gang were planted everywhere, fluttering in the breeze, majestic and majestic.

A group of people escorted a simple carriage in from outside the city.

Following the carriage was a woman with a sword on her back. She was pretty and very capable.

This woman is none other than Furuhashi, the direct descendant of the Gu family, and one of the famous geniuses in Kyoto.

Guqiao looked at the empty streets, frowned slightly, and said softly: "Mr. Rong, the Gu Killing God you admire so much is not very mature in his behavior."

The curtain of the carriage slowly opened, and Rong Yichu showed a smile and said, "Why did Miss Gu say this?"

Gu Qiao said: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, but all we have seen along the way is the ferocious power and oppression of this God of Death. Look at what a prosperous city Yu City was, but now it is controlled by the Beidou Gang.

But it has turned into a house with ten rooms and nine empty spaces, with the Beidou Gang’s banner everywhere. But don’t you know that the more oppressive you are, the easier it is to resist?”

Rong Yichu chuckled and said: "Miss Gu is right, but you are of noble birth and don't live in the world. What you know about people's hearts is just two words in a book, but the real people's hearts... alas,

Miss Gu has never even met a real ordinary civilian, so how can she talk about the human heart?"

Gu Qiao was slightly stunned and said: "But I know that fear and shock are not a long-term solution after all!"

Rong Yichu smiled and said: "Miss Gu, do you think it is the nobles or the common people who are afraid of my lord in Lu Yuan Dao?"

Furukashi asked doubtfully: "Is there any difference?"

"The difference is huge," Rong Yichu said: "Miss Gu thinks the nobles are the people. In fact, the real people are those people who you can't see at all, Miss Gu, and they will not be afraid of my lord, because they are different from my family.

If the master is too far away, fear will only come from right in front of you!"

Furukashi frowned, obviously unable to understand.

However, just when she was about to continue asking,

The guards in front suddenly stopped.

"Miss, there is someone blocking the road ahead!" a guard reported.

Guqiao rode up to the front in confusion, and saw a young man wearing black brocade clothes and a jade crown riding a red fire dragon horse stopping in front.

"Who is coming?" Guqiao asked in a deep voice.

The young man in black did not answer, but looked at the ancient bridge and then turned his attention to the car behind.
