Chapter 35 In His Majesty’s Presence
Gu-Chensha sort of saw that this Banan Governor is a Gu-Fansha’s underling who made a big mistake, but refused to admit to it and defied Luo Baiyue, which is a two-way game.
If Luo Baiyue can"t take this person, all prestige she has is lost.
“What, Third Lao are you going to bail this guy out?” Luo Baiyue doesn"t even bother to call out to the Third Highness, she grew up studying with the royal children, and many princes are also called by Lao First, Lao Second.
“Baiyue, this person is still useful, besides he is also a governor of a province, even if the commissioner has to report him first, and wait for father"s will to send him, right now I still need him for my army to collect food, if you delays the military affairs, you and Lao Nineteenth can"t afford the consequences.” The Third Prince Gu-Fansha was expressionless, but made his att.i.tude clear that he wanted to keep this man.
That Banan Governor is also not afraid in the slightest, and speaks loudly: “The next official has military affairs, if the admiral cabinet minister has nothing to do, the next official immediately retired, go back to deploy troops and gather experts to annihilate the three counties cult.”
And with that, he turned to leave.
Luo Baiyue just smirked, pulling out a token from his bosom, and a flash of fine mangling surfaced on it, four words “as if the Emperor was here ”
“Imperial Father!”
The Third Prince Gu-Fansha could hardly believe it, but he immediately left his seat and knelt down to the token.
Gu-Chensha was also taken aback, and also left his seat to worship.
All the officials kneeled down as well, and the rather tough overlord inspector from earlier was paralyzed and terrified.
“Third Lao, the Emperor has ordered me to have full authority over all matters, and now the order is the edict, do you dare to defy the order?” Luo Baiyue asked.
“This humble son doesn"t dare.” The Third Prince Gu-Fansha knows that this token is equivalent to the presence of the Skyseal Emperor, and no matter how strong and powerful he is, he wouldn"t dare to make a faux pas and would have to bow down to it.
“The Governor of Banan, you are so untamed and have committed such a great crime, I was going to put you to death, but the Third Highness pleaded for you, so I spared your life and let you redeem your crime, now listen carefully, you yourself and all the soldiers under your command are at the disposal of His Highness Nineteenth the Duke of Chen, and you are limited to one month to annihilate the cult within!” Luo Baiyue"s words changed, actually spared the Banan Governor, incidentally involving Gu-Chensha, such actions are simply like a master move, diversion, floating, giving people a sense of profound inscrutable.
“Luo Baiyue is still dragging me into the water, not allowing me to stay out of the drama.” Gu-Chensha, secretly called powerful, but also had to agree, this is an opportunity to establish merit not to mention, can exterminate the evil barbarians practice martial arts, also good.
“Yes yes yes...”The Governor of Banan has a sense of having been robbed of his authority, “This servant obeys the order.”
At this point Luo Baiyue removes the token and her words are tantamount to an edict, truly “as if the Emperor were personally present”
“If you can"t exterminate the evil cult within the month, I will be sure to execute you!” Just said that, Luo Baiyue pulled the token.
That"s when the Third Prince Gu-Fansha, Gu-Chensha, and other officials got up.
“This Prince has military affairs to attend to, if the admiral has anything else to do, please tell him, if there is nothing else, this Prince will take his leave.” the Third Prince Gu-Fansha made a mess, so he was too embarra.s.sed to stay any longer, he wanted to give Luo Baiyue a run for ers money, but he was caught off guard, never thought Skyseal Emperor would actually put “as if the Emperor were personally present” The tokens were given to them imperial comissioners
With this token, he can only be suppressed and dare not disobey the order.
“Prince of Fan, go of your own accord, and I will leave a few officers here to discuss the matter of annihilating the Xianzhou evil civil revolt. It should also all be completed within the month, to ensure that there is a solid rear when the army is fighting for barbarians.” Luo Baiyue named seven or eight inspectors presently.
These inspectors were obedient and did not dare to be p.r.i.c.ks again.
“Lao Nineteenth, this time it"s up to you to build up your achievements, if you can exterminate the cult within the month, I"ll definitely give you the top credit in the fold.” Luo Baiyue turns to look at Gu-Chensha.
“I am responsible for the cult crippling the people, even if I have no credit for it.” Gu-Chensha arched his hand: “It"s not too late, I"m setting off now, I"m afraid that every word of delay will result in the death of the people at the hands of the cult.”
“It is a blessing to the people that you have this thought.” Luo Baiyue: “I"ll lend you the Cold Dragon Armor, the Mythical Beast Fire sword that the Emperor gave me, and with this sword and armor, you can defend yourself even if you encounter Black Fiend Bat.”
“No, if you rely on your baby to protect you, but you can"t really hone your martial arts, you can only break through the Dao Realm if you live or die.” Gu-Chensha refused.
Luo Baiyue is now a bit impressed with Gu-Chensha: “In that case, I"ll wait for your good news.”
“Nineteenth Lord, let me speak to you about the current situation in the three counties.” The inspector of Hana Province came up to me in a hurry, sincerely terrified.
“Get to Pa Nang Province at once!” Gu-Chensha hand waving.
It took seven or eight hours to get from the waterway to the provincial capital of Pa Nan Province, which was also forged with boulders mixed with steel, and reached a height of more than ten feet, with iron cannons and crossbows arranged on the city walls, which were heavily defended, and the people of the city came and went as if they were on the verge of a great enemy, with no point of joy, and everyone was in a state of fear.
Except that this defense will protect against an army, but not against an expert sneaking in for an a.s.sa.s.sination.
Such as Black Fiend Bat, which comes and goes and is hard to defend against if it"s not also the Dao Realm strong.
In the Governor"s residence, the governor of Banan Province was complaining: “Nineteenth Lord, I"m also in a difficult situation, those three provinces cults are full of experts, and I can"t do anything about it, and now I"m barely able to blockade them with a large army, so that the cults can"t flow into the provincial capital is already overstretched. I now also have to guard against being a.s.sa.s.sinated by the cult and can"t sleep at night. Nineteenth Lord be careful at night as well.”
“Has the situation eroded to this point?” Gu-Chensha looked at the table map, sandbox, there are various army force distribution, in addition to the three counties cult information, the more you look at the more headaches, it is difficult to annihilate, not only that, if the cult attacks, a.s.sa.s.sinate the army generals, compel people"s hearts, in an instant will be several counties lost, more people were killed, and the cult power is growing, and finally spread to the provincial government.
If the provincial government falls, then I"m afraid he"ll have no place to stand as a prince, and it won"t be surprising if he"s attacked by the court and imprisoned.
He either doesn"t take the job, that can stay out of it, and if he takes the job and doesn"t get it done, making it even more unmanageable, he"s bound to die without a funeral.
The Governor of Banan kneels: “Nineteenth Lord, save my life, if this errand is not done properly, I will die. Besides, if the entire province falls, Nineteenth Lord you are to blame.”
“Nonsense, how many experts do you have under you now.” Gu-Chensha begins to take stock.
“I"ll just have two clerics, ten martial arts clerics, and over thirty warrior.” Govenor of Banan said, “Those two martial arts grandmasters are still the ones I spent a lot of money to hire, and they are only used to protect my safety and will never partic.i.p.ate in a fight with an evil sect. As for myself, I am also a Master and can wrestle and kill one or two.”
Martial arts masters can join the gentry anywhere, there"s no need to hug the governor"s thighs, the inspector is just an official, he can"t work for three to five years and then leave, how can he be compared to the gentry?
As for the Dao Realm masters, they can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth themselves, which greatly reduces the need for material, and they can also cultivate in the wilderness, where they are at ease, and where would they go to join the n.o.bility? Unless it"s with a certain purpose in mind.
Besides, the Dao Realm experts even if they defect to the Emperor, gaining more than a state governor, how could they defect to a small inspector?
But having these experts in one province was fine, and yet it was enough to suppress any civil unrest in normal times, but now that evil was involved, the barbarians were far from enough.
“Why didn"t Prince of Fan annihilate it himself when things happened?” Gu-Chensha sounded stern.
“The prince he began by leading the army out to crusade against the barbarian temples, and had no time to worry about the matter, and when he returned, the situation was already surly, and involved evil spirits, and for fear of damaging his army, so he held his troops still, just defending them, and when the army came in at the beginning of spring, and the emperor himself conquered, then any demons and devils were swept away.” The Governor of Banan muttered.
“So, not even Third Lao is sure?” Gu-Chensha heard the seriousness of the matter from the Inspector.
What do you mean, for fear of damaging your troops?
Just not sure.
Gu-Fansha has a lot of experts under his command, and he is even the Dao Realm the Fourth Transformation and even the Fifth Transformation"s greatest powerhouse, and has the support of the huge Van family behind him, so he doesn"t dare to make a move, so what chance does he have?
“It seems that the three counties cult is doing chaos, the expert is not only Black Fiend Bat alone, there are even stronger people hiding in there.” Gu-Chensha felt a sense of being pitted by Luo Baiyue, the heavy pressure came up, but it did not make him lose his confidence, instead he was full of fighting spirit, he commanded, “Since this is the case, what you are doing is not too much, first of all, you must guard against any unrest around the province, I"ll think about it carefully, and also summon the experts to come.”
“Gather the experts?” Banan Governor was flabbergasted, and he had more or less the information to know that this Nineteenth Prince was poor, had no mother clan, no power, and where could he gather his masters?
But then you think about it, the Princes are all unpredictable, the Nineteenth Prince started acting crazy, and the sudden rise of the last six months, how come they"re not in the middle of a decade?
It"s understandable that he can make it to a provincial inspector, who has a good eye for martial arts, and is also working for Prince of Fan against Luo Baiyue in the lobby.
“Stand down.” Gu-Chensha waved.
“And the safety of His Highness?” The Governor of Banan hurried on.
“You only have masters under your command, what"s the use of them if you encounter a cult coming to a.s.sa.s.sinate you? Death for nothing. No need to take any precautions, the a.s.sa.s.sin just comes. I was about to sharpen my martial arts skills, and halfway there, I also encountered Black Fiend Bat coming to a.s.sa.s.sinate me, yet I also fought him off.” Gu-Chensha snorted, “He retreated.”
“Yes!” The Governor Banan didn"t dare to say more, and silently retreated.
He returns to his study, and several men come in and kneel: “Lord Inspector, what is your command.”
“Spread the word about His Highness Nineteenth"s affair with the Fiend Bat to the Three Highnesses, and it is up to the Three Highnesses to arrange the next move.” Banan Governor"s eyes are worried: “The Three Prefectures have become the normal playground of the cult, and if His Highness Nineteenth is reckless, I"m afraid something will go terribly wrong, and then I will inevitably become an outcast. This matter should only be planned in detail.”
Gu-Chensha sat in his study, no one around, and indeed the guards had all been removed.
“Why isn"t Long Yuyun coming? By all rights, she should know the news by now.” He was thinking carefully, when suddenly his ears moved, a scent came from his nose, and there was already more than one person in the room, it was Long Yuyun.
“You"re bad this time."" The first words Long Yuyun appears with are bad: “Do you know what big names are in this tri-county cult? There is a barbarian divine messenger who has been the Dao Realm the Sixth Transformation, Refine Qi into Astral, and has cultivated the innate abstruse energy. He is the abbot who built the cult altar, attempting to use this as a foundation to evilize the entire Banan Province, you can still escape with your life if you speed away now, otherwise in less than ten days, and this province will also fall.”
