Volume XII, Chapter XXIV

A very strange thing happened in the border country recently, because the new king of the border country turned out to be Wang Zhuo, which logically speaking, Wang Zhuo was the marshal of the three northern provinces, and the whole war was carried out in his name, who knew that after the victory, he was not the king of the border country, but an unknown man named Long He became the king of the border country.

This shocked the surrounding countries, and the most surprising thing was, of course, the Tianfeng Kingdom, what is going on? The Tianfeng Kingdom to the king, down to the civil and military ministers, did not know the truth of this matter, this day was early after the dynasty, the king of the Tianfeng Kingdom, the first assistant Ji Zixian specially left to inquire about this matter.

"Ji Shoufu, why do you think the border country made an unknown person the king this time, and what do you think is the explanation for this matter?"

"Back to Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the minister, this dragon and, the minister thinks that he may be the person sent to the border country by the Lingshan country, and now the border country has the support of the Lingshan country and has unified the border country, so it must be to let their people be the king, so Wang Zhuocai did not ascend the throne, of course, this is also the minister's speculation, the specific situation has yet to be confirmed, the minister has sent someone to infiltrate the border country, but now they have no news back, so the minister does not dare to assert it, please forgive me!"

"This is also where the lonely king doubts, if things are really as Shoufu said, this nail planted behind us by the Lingshan country, we have to guard against it, if necessary, we must conquer the border country in one fell swoop, otherwise, there must be chaos. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need to worry about this beforehand. Once things are clear, it's not too late for us to make plans. ”

"That's right. Now the situation is unknown, and there is. You must find out what is going on with the destruction of the hundred magicians we sent! Ji Shoufu, you must handle this matter personally, and you must find out the matter, and then report it to the Lone King immediately. ”

"Yes, the minister obeys. ”

Lingshan Country didn't know that he was carrying such a big black cauldron, but Lingshan Country was not a small country. Moreover, it and the Heavenly Wind Country are two opposite countries, so the Heavenly Wind Country did not go to the Lingshan Country to find out about this matter, but sent people to the border country to investigate the matter.

Not to mention the troubles of the Tianfeng Country, since Yingxue fought in the border and forced the army of the Tianfeng Country to retreat, Wang Zhuo's reputation has been greatly shaken, of course, the war in the central region. It is also very smooth, those self-styled generals and marshals, seeing that Wang Zhuoqin led a large army to exterminate them, they have already been frightened. They were not ready to fight with Wang Zhuo's army, not to mention that with their little strength, they could not compete with Wang Zhuo's army at all. And Wang Zhuo's prestige is now far and wide, and now Wang Zhuo has come to surrender in person. These generals and marshals raised white flags and surrendered one after another.

Right now. Although Yingxue is the king of the border country, but now this mess in the border country, Yingxue really doesn't know how to do it, now the three northern provinces have been basically stable, the situation here is slightly better, but the entire south and central are not very stable, Yingxue thought carefully for a long time, Wang Zhuo, Tang Bin, Zeng Zhaoli, Yang Yuhai, Liu Linfeng, Xie Hao, Zhou Ming, Zheng Ti, Ma Or, Li Li, Zhang Luo, Lu Qi, Shan Tie, Zhang Peng, Duan Daxiong, Liang Yuanshan, Zhong Liyun Among these people, Wang Zhuo, Tang Bin and the two still have some experience in management, where can they manage state affairs, in desperation, they have to let Wang Zhuo manage the three northern provinces and the central region, and let Tang Bin manage the southern region according to the model of the three northern provinces, although Wang Zhuo and Tang Bin are diligent in government affairs, but after all, they are novices, to manage the affairs of the entire border country, the two of them still have more than enough heart but not enough strength. Especially Tang Bin, who has complained to Yingxue many times, asking for more people to help, otherwise there will be chaos.

Now things are complicated, after a few days, Yingxue feels that she is really about to go crazy, but Yingxue feels that she has no clue, she doesn't know what to do, there is no way, Yingxue has to ask for help from Jietian, but Jietian now doesn't even pay attention to Yingxue, just said a word to him, attacking the city and plundering the land, marching and fighting, he is in the line, but this management of the country is not his strength, so Yingxue or ask for another master.

Ying Xue listened to this sentence one head and two big, intercepting the sky This is clearly a prevarication, but Ying Xue can't help him, he doesn't come out, Ying Xue also has nothing to do with him, in desperation, Ying Xue can only sit there and think hard, who can help him, suddenly, Ying Xue has a flash of inspiration in his mind, thinking of Li Gui, how did he forget him, didn't he have been a border country to complement him, if you can ask him to come out of the mountain to assist you, wouldn't all the difficulties be solved? It's really nowhere to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it, Yingxue remembers, didn't Jill sue him last time, Li Gui is now in Lanling Town, if you can invite the two elders out of the mountain and guide Wang Zhuo and Tang Bin and others, then everything will be fine!

Finally found a solution, Yingxue was happy, found Zhang Peng and the others, told them that they were going out, and then immediately set off for Lanling Town.

Kyoto to Lanling Town is not far away, with the speed of Eagle Snow, it only took more than an hour to arrive at Lanling Town, his luck is really good, Li Gui and Jill are both there, just sitting on the grass chatting, however, Li Gui smiled, Jill was red-faced, and he didn't know what the two old men were arguing about. Seeing Ying Xue suddenly fall from the sky, the two were taken aback, Jill recognized Ying Xue, but Li Gui Ke was confused, it seems that Jill did not completely tell Li Gui about the matter of Yinggong City, however, after losing the battle, it is not very honorable to say this matter, Jill is a person who wants to save face, of course he will not tell Li Gui the whole thing as it is, saving Li Gui from laughing at him.

Yingxue didn't talk much when she saw Jill and Li Gui, and bowed her head, Jill was at ease, but Li Gui was confused, and it didn't matter if someone fell from the sky, but when she saw why she fell to the ground, she bowed, which didn't make Li Gui even more confused, but after all, he was a calm person, and when he saw that Jill didn't move, he also sat there calmly and didn't move.

When Jill saw that Li Gui was in such a hurry again, he immediately helped Yingxue up. Turning his head to Li Gui, he began to shout again: "You old man Li, I just can't get used to your appearance." Always pretending to be unfathomable, what do you think you are? I really want to beat you up, but I'm afraid that I will tear down your two old bones, and I won't play with me in the future, it's really annoying!"

"Why did this brother give us such a gift? Lee Gyu ignored Jill and asked Eagle Snow Road with a smile.

"Grandpa Li, don't you know me, I'm Yingxue. After Ying Xue finished speaking, she withdrew her appearance technique and restored her previous appearance.

"Huh. It's really Yingxue, I know you're fine, what kind of kung fu are you, it's amazing, by the way, where have you been during this time?" Li Gui couldn't help but ask happily when he saw that it was really Yingxue.

"It's a long story. Ying Xue briefly explained the situation of separating from Li Gui in the Plain of Resentful Spirits that day, and obtained the Tianyan Divine Sword by chance, and then told Li Gui and Jill that he was now the king of the border country, although he was forced to be helpless. But since he has promised, he must do a good job, and he came here to ask the two elders to go out of the mountain to help him.

Hearing that Yingxue came to invite her this time, Jill and Lee Gyu couldn't help but hesitate. finally walked out of the intrigue of the court, lived a carefree life like now, and now asked them to go back again. The two old men were really hesitant.

"Two grandfathers, now the border country has just settled down. And I don't have anyone on hand who can settle the country, if you don't come to help me. I really can't think of anyone who can come out to help me, to tell the truth, I don't actually want to be this king, and I am forced to be helpless, so I am reluctant to make it difficult, this burden is too heavy, I really can't pick it up alone, and even if you don't help me, for the sake of the people of the border country, you two elders should also come out to help me, I know that you two elders are concerned about the people, otherwise in Yinggong City that day, Grandpa Li would not let Grandpa Jill come to ......"

"Well, don't talk about it again. Before Yingxue could finish her words, she was interrupted loudly by Jill.

"Hahaha!" Li Gui suddenly let out a hearty laugh, "Okay, you old man, no wonder you came back so soon, it turns out that you were defeated by Yingxue, hahaha! You old guy, you still hide it from me so tightly, I'm afraid I'll laugh at you. "Li Gui is a smart and clear person, and he can see it through at a glance, so as soon as Yingxue's words were interrupted by Jill, Li Gui knew that Jill must have something to hide from him, and Jill didn't admit himself, how could he be able to win a person like Li Gui in this matter.

"Hmph, you just laugh to your heart's content, what's the big deal, it's not a shame to lose in the hands of Ying Xue, you know, Ying Xue is now the master of the border country, and the master of the Tianyan Divine Sword, I won't be ashamed to lose in his hands! I should be happy, hahaha. Jill suddenly laughed happily.

Li Gui saw that Jill suddenly laughed, knowing that he had figured it out, it turned out that Jill had a deep meaning, he was afraid that Jill hated Yingxue and ruined his face, and he had a grudge against Yingxue, Li Gui wanted to transfer the contradiction to himself and divert Jil's attention, and now it seems that Jill doesn't care about these anymore, so Li Gui no longer jokes with Jill.

"In this way, the matter is completely clear, the border country is divided in your hands, and now it is in your hands and it is one, Yingxue may be fate, since you have become the king of the border country, and now you are in trouble, we two old bones should naturally help you, this way of governing the country is not better than attacking cities and plundering land, it is easy to take the country and it is difficult to defend, you can rest assured, I will teach you everything we know. Li Gyu said to Yingxue solemnly.

"Yes, Grandpa Li, although the king of the land country on my side will not be able to do it for long, I will try my best to do it. Yingxue said respectfully.

"What do you mean by this, Yingxue, what won't you do for long, are you?" asked Jill puzzled.

"Yes, the king of the border country on my side was also forced to become a temporary one, and it was also because he could not bear the suffering of the people anymore, but I also have my own mission, and when the affairs of the border country have settled down a little, I will set off and leave. Speaking of this, Yingxue's expression couldn't help but be a little dark.

"Mission, what mission?" asked Li Gyu curiously.

"The second elder is the person I respect and trust the most, and it doesn't hurt to say it, but in fact, I don't need to hide it from you. I'm going to find the Star God, although it's almost impossible. But I had to find her, and I didn't have to ask why. I can't say it myself, but I have to do it!" said Yingxue with a wry smile.

"This ......" Li Gui and Jill looked at each other after hearing this, they didn't expect that Yingxue's mission would be the Star God, you must know that the Star God has been missing for more than a thousand years, even if she is not dead, she knows where to hide, and it is not easy to find her. In fact, Yingxue had already told Jill about this when he first came, and where would Jill believe him at that time, he thought Yingxue was a naughty boy who was skipping school. He had already forgotten about this matter a long time ago, but now with Yingxue's identity and status, and he brought it up so solemnly, he and Li Gyu couldn't help but take it seriously, so of course the two of them would be surprised.

"Two grandfathers, don't worry about me, I believe that where there is a will, there is a way, and it is imperative. It's not that when we talk about this, let's talk about the border country first. Yingxue didn't want everyone to worry about him, so she changed the topic.

"Oh, the frontier country. We already know in our hearts that the king has come to personally invite us out of the mountain, how can we two old fellows not give face. We'll definitely go. However, I think it's getting late today. Stay here for the night, and we'll leave for Kyoto early tomorrow morning. The three of us will have a good chat tonight. Li Gui knew Yingxue's thoughts, and knew that this was a lump in Yingxue's heart, so he didn't mention it anymore.

"It's okay, it's rare to be free, I haven't been together with your two elders for a long time, so I'll talk to the two grandfathers tonight. Ying Xue also replied happily.

Let's mention the evil and Wu Hongsoul, these days, Wu Hongsoul can be tortured to death, because every time he gets the news of Yang Yuhai, he immediately notifies the evil spirit, but when the evil and the two of them arrived to find it, Yang Yuhai left again, I don't know where to go, although his intelligence is accurate, but Yang Yuhai's whereabouts are even more erratic, and he is quite unhappy about this matter, Wu Hongsoul himself is scared half to death, but fortunately he has found Liang Yiling, and finally gave the evil an explanation, but the evil did not find Yang Yuhai, of course, he is very dissatisfied, and now the border country is in chaos, although Yang Yuhai is already a general, to go out to fight at any time, and he knows that Yang Yuhai is in the border country, but he has never found the specific location, although the border country is small, but it is really not easy to find Yang Yuhai, which makes Wu Hongsoul anxious, this mood is even more sad than not knowing where Yang Yuhai is, because he knows that Yang Yuhai is nearby, but he can't find it all the time, or he is a step late, and he passes by Yang Yuhai again, doesn't this situation make Wu Hongsoul even more anxious!

The next day, Yingxue and Li Gui and Jill opened the magic array to Kyoto early in the morning, luck was good, just near Kyoto, the three of them came to the palace with Yingxue, because Li Gui and Jill had been invited, Yingxue couldn't wait to send people to Wang Zhuo, Tang Bin, Zeng Zhaoli, Yang Yuhai, Liu Linfeng, Xie Hao, Zhou Ming, Zheng Ti, Ma Or, Li Li, Zhang Luo, Lu Qi, Shan Tie, Zhang Peng, Duan Daxiong, Liang Yuanshan, Zhong Liyun and the other seventeen people were all called to the palace, although everyone was guarding everywhere in the border country, but after hearing Yingxue's summons, they rushed to the palace as quickly as possible, but this back and forth had already taken a lot of time, and when everyone arrived, it was already night.

"Brothers, I won't say much more than anything else, everyone must have a profound experience these days, that is, they have more than enough and not enough, although everyone wants to manage the border country well, but when it comes to the end, I don't know where to start, I believe that everyone's feelings are the same as mine, it is easy to fight the country, and it is difficult to defend the country. However, today I am fortunate to invite the old man Li Gui, who is the auxiliary of the former border country, and General Gil, the general of Zhennan of the former border country, with the guidance of their two elders, I believe that soon everyone will be able to be competent for their positions, and I am ready to let the old man Li Gui still serve as the complement of the border country and be responsible for the government affairs of the border country, and Jill is still the general of Zhennan, responsible for the defense of army training and management, everyone, do you think this arrangement is feasible?" Ying Xue said it simply and clearly, and everyone did not object after listening to it, because Ying Xue's words are everyone's voice, these days, everyone has a deep understanding that it is really not easy to be a good manager, it is indeed tired enough to choke everyone, and although they have made efforts, they have not seen much effect.

"Since you don't have any opinions, then please ask Li Xiangfu to re-divide everyone, and General Jill is responsible for the division of the major garrisons, I hope you will do what the two old men say, and I believe that the various contradictions we are currently facing will be properly resolved. Yingxue said confidently.

"Yes!" Wang Zhuo and the others saw that Yingxue believed in the two elders of Jill and Li Gui so much, and everyone had heard of Li Gui's name, and everyone was no stranger to Jil's name, especially Zhou Ming, so everyone stood up to express their welcome and respect for the two elders.

"Everyone, please take a seat. Thanks to your love, I can still look down on the old bones, I will make a long story short, in fact, I and Gil and His Majesty the King have discussed in detail the various difficulties we are currently facing from last night to today, in fact, we are now implementing the policy of peace in the three northern provinces is quite good, if it continues to develop like this, I think the future border country will be a pure land in the entire empty heaven spirit world, although our border country is located in the border wilderness, but I believe that the border country in the future will make people rush to come here。 However, the biggest problem we are facing now is that we are too centralized, that is, we are not only generals of the army, but also have to take charge of local affairs. Therefore, the old and decrepit construction has completely separated the duties of the local administrative officials from the garrison of the army, and set up local administrative officials, who will manage local affairs, so that the generals will have sufficient time to manage the army and do not have to distract themselves from managing local affairs. Li Gui glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was listening carefully, so he continued: " After discussion with His Majesty, it was decided to set up three provinces and counties in the border country, from Kyoto to Saucer-shaped Pass as the first province and county, Saucer-shaped Pass to Tian as the second province and county, and Tianguan to the north as the third province and county, the commander of the first province and county is Lao Yu himself, and General Shan Tie assists Lao Yu in charge of specific local affairs, the commander of the second province and county is General Tang Bin, and General Liu Linfeng assists Tang Bin in charge of specific local affairs, and the commander of the third province and county is Marshal Wang Zhuo, and General Zheng Wei assists in local specific affairs, and the strength of the whole country is divided into three army corps, each province and county has a corps, the corps commander is the supreme commander of each province, and the chief and deputy corps commanders are directly appointed by His Majesty the KingThe most important thing in the provinces and counties is to select a group of local officials, good magistrates can bring benefits to the people, and bad magistrates can force the people to rebel. Of course, these specific details will be drawn up, and I am only here to convey a general meaning, and if there are any shortcomings, I will ask General Gil to supplement them on his behalf.
