In Baicheng, there is a supreme clan order: if the incumbent city lord does not take the mission of Baicheng as his own responsibility, or at the expense of the interests of the clansmen to realize his grand wishes, the four pavilion elders can use the Holy Mother Decree to depose the city lord, and those who violate the order will be punished!

If Lao Tie didn't mention the three words of the Holy Mother's Order, Chu Yunchuan would have almost forgotten that back then, when Bai Fenghuang said that he was worried that Baicheng would fall into the hands of the treacherous people in the future, he still gave her this bad idea. There are thirty-six bottles of exemplars in the Holy Mother's Order, which is a masterpiece of the White Phoenix when its strength is at its peak, if all of them are invited out, let alone the little Bai Jian Qi, even Chu Yunchuan will have to break out in a cold sweat.

Therefore, when he heard that Lao Tie was using this as a threat, Bai Jianqi's legs were weak, and he sat on the chair with his buttocks, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Everyone held their breath.

Even Chu Yunchuan gritted his teeth secretly, and the hand behind his waist had already been clenched into a fist. He knew very well that Lao Tie was threatening Bai Jianqi on the surface, but in fact, this spearhead was aimed at him, and he even wanted to shout on the spot: "This matter is so decided! I said it!" But he didn't, if he completely fell out with the four pavilion elders, it would be tantamount to helping Bai Jianqi put on a hat of killing the ancestors with his own hands.

Chu Yunchuan put up with this for the time being.

After several pavilion elders left, Chu Yunchuan dismissed the guards of the White Palace one by one, and asked Bai Jian Qi very calmly, "What do you think?"

"This ......" Bai Jianqi scratched the back of his head and struggled for a while, and said with a wry smile: "This time Lao Tie seems to be real, I don't care if I am the city lord or not, it's just ...... It's just that I feel like being bombarded like this, it's a bit unpleasant, if there is no other way, I'm afraid I can only apologize to Bai Cehua head-on......"

"What do you apologize for! In my opinion, that Bai Ce is clearly a bitter plan!" Ye Qing said indignantly: "A few of their old antiques don't want to change, it's just that they don't want the power in their hands to be divided by outsiders, and there is only one solution to this irreconcilable internal contradiction -- cut through the mess with a quick knife!"

Hearing this, Bai Muxue was secretly taken aback, and asked worriedly, "You mean to say that you want to chop up a few elders?"

"It depends on their attitude. Ye Qing Zhengse said: "Back then, in order to implement his own ruling policy, the elf king Getu could even be exiled to his mother, and to be the king, he had to have iron-fisted means!

Wuwei nodded and said, "You can make an example of you!"

Hearing this, Bai Muxue and Bai Jianqi were a little stunned. Yeqing is an elf clan, and he has no friendship with the four pavilion elders, so he can understand it, but the words "kill one and make an example of a hundred" came out of Wuwei's mouth, invisibly, revealing a creepy chill, and it can be seen from the serious expression on his face that this is obviously not a joke he said casually.

The two siblings set their eyes on Chu Yunchuan for his final ruling.

Chu Yunchuan didn't rush to make a decision, he asked Bai Jianqi very cautiously: "You talk about it first, what do you know about the four pavilion elders, and evaluate it objectively." ”

"Hmm. Bai Jianqi analyzed thoughtfully: "Qingdan is a good person, and he usually doesn't deliberately embarrass anyone, and he is more fair......; She is a relatively withdrawn person, focusing on the spirit forging all her life, and she doesn't like to contact outsiders very much, but she is quite kind, and generally responds to requests...... This person is really hard to say, if he doesn't speak, he will speak amazingly as soon as he speaks, and usually, he prefers to take care of things. ”

Chu Yunchuan nodded, and asked Bai Muxue again, "What do you think?"

"I think this evaluation is quite pertinent......" Bai Muxue thought for a while, and then added: "However, I always feel that Bai Cehua looks down on my brother, recently, if you hadn't supported my brother in Baicheng, I guess I would have been taught a lesson by him a long time ago." ”

Yeqing chuckled, "To put it bluntly, I feel good about myself and like that kind of lofty posture." ”

"Hmm. Bai Muxue nodded and said, "That's it." ”

"These are not serious crimes that must be killed...... Chu Yunchuan held his chin and pondered for a while, and ordered: "Leave them alone, Yeqing, you go and implement your restructuring plan immediately, and you don't need to inform them." This kind of internal contradiction, since it can't be reconciled and can't be cut off, then drag it out, see who can survive whom, I don't believe that Lao Tie really dares to take out the Holy Mother Order in front of me. ”

......

On the seventh day of August of this year, the reform plan drawn up by Yeqing officially began to be implemented, and the reference materials mainly came from the content of the Feather Cloak Fairy's original teaching, and then kneaded with his own experience in the Elf King City, and established the Central Military Department.

Compared with the imperial system in the real sense, a single central military department can only be regarded as the tip of the iceberg that has just touched the imperial structure, and this small piece of military department system is not very mature, it is mainly to clarify the ranks of officers and soldiers, the concretization of powers and responsibilities, the standardization of the organizational structure and other levels, there are still many places that need to be improved, and it is not possible to do it overnight.

This is mainly limited to the current situation of White City, whether it is human, material, or financial, it is not enough to support a huge imperial system.

This can only be considered a starting point.

However, it is undeniable that this starting point has played a pivotal role in the development of Baicheng's military strength, and has also laid a solid foundation for Baicheng to move towards a higher ruling stage. In Yeqing's own words: "Military politics and military politics, there is the army first, then there is politics, and you have to eat one bite at a time." The short-term goal he is proposing now is to strengthen the army and expand the territory.

On the tenth day of August, the army of more than 30,000 people officially withdrew from the city lord's mansion and moved to the unified deployment of the Nancheng base.

Nancheng is adjacent to the wilderness, the land is vast and sparsely populated, first, it is suitable for drills, and secondly, if something happens to the Demon Ridge, it can also respond closely. From this point of view, Chu Yunchuan felt that Yeqing still had some strategic vision, but the next day, something happened that he didn't want to see.

Tie Lu led people to put Bai Jian Qi under house arrest in the White Palace, and forced him to give an order to expel Yeqing from the White City.

When Chu Yunchuan rushed to the White Palace, he saw that Bai Cehua was also present, and he led a large group of guards from the inner palace to block the road in front of the palace, and the posture was like a rebellion, and even Bai Muxue was stopped at the door and couldn't enter. Bai Jian Qi was imprisoned on the chair by a glittering fairy rope, and the elder of the Iron Law Pavilion stood next to the chair with the Holy Mother Order in his hand.

"Tie Lu! Do you know what you're doing?!" As soon as he stepped into the White Hall with his front foot, Chu Yunchuan shouted loudly, but the group of Inner Mansion guards who stopped in front of him did not give way; Tie Lu only snorted coldly, as if he didn't bother to answer. Chu Yunchuan tried to break through, and the two sharp spears immediately hit his chest, he glanced at Bai Cehua angrily, and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

"Lord Shensi, please put yourself in your position!" Bai Cehua waved his sleeves coldly and said bluntly: "Thinking of your old friendship with the Holy Mother, we have always respected you! But as an outsider, is it too much for you to meddle in my Baicheng's household affairs three times and twice?!"

Chu Yunchuan: "......!!!"

The elder of the Iron Law Pavilion echoed again: "We are holding the Holy Mother's Decree, that is, acting on behalf of the Holy Mother! If Lord Shensi really cares about his old friendship with the Holy Mother, it is best not to act rashly! According to the clan order, even if we execute the young city lord now, it is reasonable and well-founded!"

Chu Yunchuan: "......!!!"

The tense threat of the two of them caused the atmosphere in the White Hall to drop to freezing point for a while.

A fierce woman like Bai Muxue, who is outspoken and fast-talking, didn't dare to squeak casually at this time, watching his brother's life in someone else's hands, he was so nervous that his heart was about to pop out. She turned her eyes to the silent Chu Yunchuan for help, her eyes were full of tears, for fear that he would really compromise.

But Chu Yunchuan didn't speak.

"Lao Tie, you really disappointed me!" Bai Jianqi suddenly evoked a disdainful smile, and accused the elder of the Iron Law Pavilion in a frustrated voice: "Didn't you embark on this road just to help Bai Ce draw out his evil anger? You think you are a person who does not love power and values affection...... You old thing, if you call it love and righteousness, then what am I Bai Jian Qi? Yeqing is not only my brother, but also the hero of Baicheng! If you force me to expel him from the city now, it is naked and unrighteous! Naked ingratitude!"

"For Bai Cheng! I think I have a clear conscience!" The iron law who is not good at words knows that Bai Jian Qi, who is not good at words, and he doesn't bother to argue with him. Seeing that Chu Yunchuan did not act rashly, he immediately raised the Holy Mother Order in his hand and loudly proclaimed: "The whole clan listens to the order, I will now abolish one of the Seven Cities of Baijian in the name of the Holy Mother, and the four elders of the Inner Mansion will temporarily take charge of the affairs of Baicheng! ”

As soon as the clan order came out, several guards immediately received the order and drafted the list on the spot.

Despair!

It's not just the reaction on Bai Muxue's cheeks.

Bai Jian Qi, who has always cared about everything, was arrogant, confident, and courageous at the moment when he was ordered to abolish the city lord...... It's like the wind, after it blows, it doesn't leave a trace. Once his lifelong sense of superiority was washed away, he was so lonely that he couldn't even straighten his waist, and he collapsed weakly on the chair, staring at the house with his eyes stunned, without saying a word.

Chu Yunchuan, who has been silent so far, has never stood up to stop it.

Chu Yunchuan's eyes have been locked on Bai Jian Qi, seeing with his own eyes how Bai Jian Qi was beaten from an arrogant and unruly teenager to a down-and-out young man who has lost his spirit, seeing endless frustration and frustration, nakedly covering his cheeks, seeing him as if he had been washed by a thousand years of wind and frost, the vicissitudes of life were a mess in an instant.

At this point, Chu Yunchuan felt that the time was almost there, and a ball of origin qi was secretly gathered in his palm, ready to seize the Holy Mother Order.

At this moment, a Praetorian guard rushed in in a hurry and shouted in a panic: "Oh no...... Elder Qiyu Pavilion, it's not good! Yeqing and Wuwei led a large army to surround the City Lord's Mansion......"
