When Emperor Yonghua was in power, he was obsessed with immortality and always had three princes in charge of local government affairs. Because of the White Army, Xia Muyang had always been in charge of the government affairs in Xiahe County.
Before Nintendo was promoted to County Secretary of Xiahe County, he was the resident general of Ruozhou. Before he was appointed as the resident general in Ruozhou, he also served as the general of the Chinese army beside Xia Muyang for five years.
It is precisely because of his relationship with Prince Zhi's palace that the Xu family will give him some face. Even so, Nintendo still feels that the county secretary is nothing more than a puppet.
"Haha, the county government offices and military camps are all the spies of the Xu family. I am the chief official of the county, and I can't even handle a sixth-grade patrol officer under my jurisdiction. The defense changes at city gates are never done by me. ,... Among the twenty-six county secretaries in Dahua, who else is more cowardly than me?"
However, he was born as a soldier after all, and although he was hampered by the Xu family at every turn, he never compromised. In the entire Xiahe County, he was the only official of rank six or above who had never entered the Xu family's gate.
"His Royal Highness King Zhi once said that a general must have backbone, righteousness, and courage to run an army. Although Ren is not very capable, he has a lot of backbone, righteousness, and courage. Hmph, let's see if Xu Xiaoyi dares Kill me, a second-rank official of the imperial court!" With this determination, Nintendo struggled for three years, but unfortunately achieved little success.
Early in the morning, a guest came to the county government office that he had never expected. It was Qin Xiaoyou, the Duke of Qin.
Qin Xiaoyou was Xia Muyang's father-in-law. He also served as Minister of the Ministry of War and had a high prestige in the army.
"Why did the old prince pay a sudden visit?"
Nintendo didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly went out to welcome him into the main hall.
After hearing Qin Xiaoyou's explanation of his purpose, Nintendo was so shocked that he almost lost his eyes: "What? The Duke is saying that the emperor sent people to surround the military camp in Ruozhou and also replaced the garrison at the city gate?"
"Not bad." Qin Xiaoyou replied with a smile while stroking his beard.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is so generous." Nintendo said nervously, "It's just that almost all the generals and assistants stationed in the military camp are from the Xu family. If the control is not appropriate, I'm afraid there will be trouble. The official is worried..."
He looked at Qin Xiaoyou, swallowed his saliva and said in a low voice: "I am afraid that these Xu family generals will incite the soldiers to mutiny. This is really unimaginable. There are still 60,000 to 70,000 Jianghu people in Ruozhou City. ...This...Does the Emperor have any backup plans?"
Although Nintendo came from a martial arts background, he was bold but not reckless. This was one of the reasons why Xia Muyang recommended him to serve as the county secretary.
"Of course." Qin Xiaoyou nodded in approval.
"Oh? I would like to hear the details!"
Qin Xiaoyou looked at him with some "malice" and half-squinted his eyes: "You are the emperor's last resort!"
... ...
Based on strength alone, if the Xu family's outer sect established its own sect, it would be enough to rank among the twelve major sects in the Jianghu. In terms of the number of masters, they would never be less than the Nanbang, Yangmingjiao, Yangqimen, Lingyan Pavilion, and Xiaojinshan. This is the strength of the Xu family.
There are ten elders in the outer sect of the Xu family. Almost every elder has his own lineage and has a large number of disciples and disciples. The strongest among them are the He family, the Wang family and the Jiang family.
All three families voluntarily surrendered because their ancestors received favors from the Xu family. Over the years, they have more or less intermarryed with the Xu family. They have a relationship of both prosperity and loss, and they are also subordinate and related by marriage.
Jiang Xiaoyu, who was standing on the stage at the moment, was the eldest grandson of Jiang Canghai, the great elder of the outer sect, and the cousin of Jiang Xiaobai, who had just lost to He Beihong.
Jiang Xiaoyu has an unattractive appearance and has never liked to describe himself, but he has always been valued by the Xu and Jiang families simply because he is truly the number one master of the younger generation in the outer sect.
Although He Zhengrong, Jiang Xiaobai, Wang Yutang, and Su Qingshan are not famous in the world, they are all top-notch young masters.
Of course, they are not as good as Jiang Xiaoyu.
In fact, Xu Xiaoyi felt that he was no longer weaker than his grandfather Jiang Canghai, but a master on the same level as Xu Jinye and Xu Xiaoshi.
In this martial arts alliance, the Xu family is bound to win, and this is the perfect time to show off their strength to the outside world.
Jiang Xiaoyu's words "Who else is going to take the stage?" really calmed a lot of people. For a while, everyone in the crowd said something to each other, but no one came on the stage.
The deacon of the martial arts school looked at the Dendrobium spp. on the side and knew that noon had arrived. He walked up to Xu Xiaoyi and respectfully reported: "Master, noon has arrived."
According to the previously determined protocol, the martial arts school is divided into two halves, with an hour in between for everyone to eat and rest.
Xu Xiaoyi stood up from his seat, first bowed to the other twelve sect leaders, and then sent a message to the audience: "Dear heroes, the martial arts school has finished in the morning, and the second half of the martial arts school will start at noon. Please Let’s have lunch first and take a rest.”
Most of the tens of thousands of people quickly dispersed after hearing the sound. Only a few rangers who had brought their own dry food remained on the campus, sitting on the ground, opening their food bags, and eating and drinking by themselves.
Zhang Zhengyi and He Beihong have obtained martial arts school qualifications, and their treatment is far different from others.
After bidding farewell to all the heads, Xu Xiaoyi personally invited them to have a meal in the Xu Mansion. Zhang Zhengyi went happily, but He Beihong declined his kindness on the grounds that he was "not well-dressed and would not climb high".
"Dad, this He Beihong seems to be hiding his clumsiness intentionally. He should not be underestimated." After returning home, Xu Jinye followed Xu Xiaoyi and said to his father seriously.
In the fight with Jiang Xiaobai just now, He Beihong only defended and did not attack. Even the move he took the roundabout was a defensive move.
Xu Suye thought he couldn't defeat Jiang Xiaobai without attacking even one move.
Xu Xiaoyi nodded and sighed: "This person's moves are a bit stiff, as if he hasn't been hostile to others for a long time. But every move he makes is just right, and it doesn't look like he has been neglecting martial arts for a long time. His martial arts methods are very strange, like Slow is actually fast, clumsy is actually clever, I can’t see where it comes from.”
"Could they be from outside the feudal vassal?" Xu Jinye asked in a low voice.
He has been walking around the world for a long time, and he has seen a lot of the world. But he had never seen martial arts like He Beihong's. He couldn't help but think of a kind of martial arts called ninjas in the Xianma Kingdom. Their martial arts were famous for "hiding their skill rather than their clumsiness".
"When you put it like that, I think it's somewhat possible." Xu Xiaoyi frowned and said, "You will ask someone to ask Ruqing later to see if the Zhaixing Pavilion can find out the sect of He Beihong."
... ....
Nintendo was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor would let him regain control of the Ruozhou military camp at this juncture.
"My lord, does your Majesty have any clear instructions?"
Qin Xiaoyou shook his head and replied: "The emperor only said that you must control the military camp. As for what to do, you have to figure it out yourself. No matter how big something happens, the imperial court will take care of it for you."
"Don't ask about the means?"
"It doesn't matter the means, only the results."
Nintendo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slowly: "That's good. I have long wanted to deal with these ruffians and generals, and Nintendo has only one request: If the Xu family settles accounts after the fall, I beg the court to protect the safety of my wife, children, and relatives! "
Over the years, he has been holding back a lot of turmoil. If he has no worries, why not die alone?
"Two teams of divine sentry battalions are waiting outside the house. One team will escort you to the military camp in a while, and the other team will protect your wife, children, and relatives to the capital. During this time, you can go about your business freely." Qin Xiao replied seriously. .
... ...
Zhang Suiguang saw Song Hongfeng before he returned to his dormitory.
He stood guard outside the courtyard gate, hesitating back and forth.
"Hongfeng, why are you here?" Zhang Suiguang asked as he walked over.
