"Okay, stop arguing and sit down. I have something to tell you."
With Li Dao's intervention, both parties stopped talking.
Seeing all the important people in the Governor's Mansion gathered together, Li Dao introduced them, "First of all, let me introduce to you the people I brought back this time."
"Shen San, Old Ghost, Xu Hu and Little Madman are all acquaintances of mine who I met by chance in Shiwandashan. Specifically, Wei Yun and Liu Neng know each other."
Everyone looked at Shen San and the others, and nodded as a greeting.
Then, Li Dao pointed to Miao Miaoxin behind him, "This is the current Miao saint Miao Miaoxin."
Miao saint?
Zhang Meng and others did not know much about the Miao people, and they were limited to the Miao family in Tiannan City.
But Zhou Sheng is different. After living in southern Xinjiang for so many years, he understands the status of a Miao saint.
"Mr. Governor, you are..."
Zhou Sheng never imagined that when his governor went out to investigate the affairs of the Evil Blood Sect, he would abduct a Miao saint girl halfway.
Li Dao didn't say any more nonsense, and directly recounted what happened in Shiwanda Mountain in full.
After listening, everyone also understood the causes and consequences.
"As expected of you, boss."
Zhang Meng and Xue Bing looked at each other with eyes that only men could understand.
Only Zhou Sheng frowned and said, "Mr. Governor, that means that in addition to the Evil Blood Sect, we now have two more powerful enemies. This may not be in line with our previous plan."
The previous plan was to take Tiannan City as the center and spread outward little by little to reorganize the order in southern Xinjiang.
The result is good now, as it directly offended all the three largest forces in southern Xinjiang.
Gu masters in southern Xinjiang, rebel armies and evil cultivators.
None of these three are easy to mess with.
Although according to Li Dao's wishes, there is an additional Miao force on their side.
But after losing Fengzhai and Leizhai, they were just a half-disabled Miao people, and their specific role was not as great as imagined.
Li Dao expressed his understanding of Zhou Sheng's words.
But in fact, plans can never keep up with changes.
Just like when he was with the Northern Barbarians, he originally wanted to work his way up gradually by collecting military merit.
Who would have thought that he would catch up with a big battle just after he went to Beiman, and he would soar into the sky from then on.
Therefore, in Li Dao's current view, offending everyone who deserves to be offended this time is both a danger and an opportunity.
After all, if he tried a little bit, who knows how long it would take to deal with these people.
Now that everyone has been offended, some people may jump out on their own before he can take action.
Compared to hidden enemies, he still likes the feeling of being on the bright side.
So Li Dao said bluntly, "Since the current situation is not in line with the original plan, then change the plan."
"And today I'm here to talk to you about it."
"First of all, point one."
"For now, we will put aside the arrangements outside Tiannan City and focus on strengthening everything in Tiannan City to prevent some uneasy and well-intentioned people from doing evil."
Although the opponents in southern Xinjiang did not dare to attack him as the governor.
But the people below do not have such treatment.
If the losses of his men were too great, he alone would not be able to do much against the vast southern border.
After all, he doesn't just know how to kill like in the Northern Barbarians, he also needs to manage this place.
Therefore, the safety of your subordinates must be guaranteed first.
Li Dao looked at Zhou Sheng, "It's up to you, Zhou Sheng, to arrange this. I'll let Chen You assist you."
"clear."
Zhou Sheng and Chen You looked at each other and nodded in reply.
"And the second point, which is also the next thing we have to do, is to take the initiative to clear out the enemies in the Hundred Thousand Mountains while ensuring that there are no problems in Tiannan City."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Li Dao.
Because from their point of view, these two decisions are very contradictory. On the one hand, they must not go out, but on the other hand, they must take the initiative.
Zhou Sheng stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Governor, the roads in Shiwanda Mountain are dangerous. If we take the initiative when we are unfamiliar with the place, it will be very detrimental to us."
"I know."
Li Dao smiled and said, "But there is already a way to solve this problem."
"The first thing is that we can cooperate with the Miao people who are not familiar with this situation in Shiwandashan."
As he spoke, he glanced at Miao Miaoxin beside him and said, "In southern Xinjiang, there should be no one who is more familiar with Shiwandashan than you Miao people."
Miao Miaoxin said softly, "As long as we don't go deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Miao people in other places can lead the way."
Li Dao nodded and continued, "As for the issue of traveling in the Hundred Thousand Mountains..."
Having said this, he looked at Xu Hu and Er Hu who were squatting beside him.
...
Seven days later.
In a mountain forest outside Shiwanda Mountain.
Along with a thundering tiger roar, the mountain began to gradually tremble.
Looking from a distance, hundreds of birds are flying in the forest, and countless wild beasts are running wildly in the smoke and dust.
And behind the countless wild beasts, I saw a bare-chested, extremely tall evil man, riding a giant tiger to drive away these wild beasts.
This is none other than Xu Hu and his younger brother Er Hu.
Driven by one man and one tiger, these beasts soon came to a valley closed on three sides.
After going deep into the valley, Xu Hu and Er Hu stopped at the only exit of the valley.
At this moment, the majesty of the king of beasts is fully displayed in one person and one tiger.
Although Er Hu is said to be the king of beasts, under Xu Hu's natural tiger power, Er Hu can only be reduced to a foil at this moment.
at the same time.
Above one side of the valley, Li Dao, Zhang Meng and others stood together, watching the scene down the mountain.
"Old Zhang, you are still thinking about the position of commander-in-chief."
Xue Bing noticed that Zhang Meng's eyes were always on Xu Hu and couldn't help but joked to the side.
"Who cares? I, Zhang Meng, am willing to admit defeat."
Zhang Meng replied angrily.
The original Pagoda Army was always led by Zhang Meng and other individuals, and the three thousand troops of the Pagoda Army were evenly divided.
Not long ago, Li Dao suddenly decided to choose a general to lead the Futu Army.
Originally, according to normal circumstances, the position of commander would be chosen among Zhang Meng and others.
But at this moment, Xu Hu came out in the middle of the road.
He obviously didn't know how to use basic Qi, but he defeated everyone with his instinctive skills.
Seeing that Zhang Meng recognized it, Xue Bing looked to the other side and said to Yang Yan, "Lao Yang, you almost won in the end. Are you willing to challenge me again?"
"No matter what, that kid is a monster."
Thinking of the competition between the two, Yang Yan looked complicated.
When he first faced Xu Hu, he was quite confident.
After all, he is a serious late-stage innate, and he also has formal training in martial arts.
Xu Hu could be suppressed in all aspects, but who would have thought that Xu Hu would break through halfway without respecting martial ethics.
Then he really defeated him with his desperate fighting style.
At first he was a little dissatisfied, but in the end he was completely convinced after learning from Li Dao that Xu Hu was only thirteen years old.
Thirteen years old, he is old enough to be Xu Hu's father.
He is the only one who will be embarrassed if he continues to fight.
