After receiving the letter from Dingbei Hou, Jiang Xingchen was stunned again, he didn't expect that the military department would transfer Bei Hou to take over the Sixth Army.

"What about the territory, who will manage it, will it be handed over to Sister Wanrou?" Jiang Xingchen muttered with the letter.

The old man said on the side: "Boy, you really should look at the laws of the empire, as the commander of the legion, you must give up the territory...... No one family can occupy both the position of a lord and an important position in the military department. ”

"And this statement!" Jiang Xingchen frowned, his heart sank, and said, "In this way, Hongyuan City will not be under the jurisdiction of Beihou in the future?"

"Hmm!" the old man nodded and asked, "Do you think that no great lord is willing to accept such an arrangement?"

"Yes, who wants to give up the territory they have worked so hard to build and lead troops into battle...... The Great Lord has a grudge in his heart, how can this battle be fought?" Jiang Xingchen said.

"The lord is unwilling to do this kind of thing, and the royal family is even more unwilling, no matter how a territory develops, it is at most 10,000 city guards and 10,000 private soldiers, but a legion is 150,000 regular troops!

The old man took the letter in Jiang Xingchen's hand and looked at it twice, and said in a low voice: "The emperor really trusts the Marquis of Dingbei enough!"

Jiang Xingchen said: "It's not just trust, the Dingbei Hou family is thin, and there is only one daughter of Sister Wanrou, which is the most important reason why the emperor chose Hou Ye!"

The old man looked at Jiang Xingchen in surprise, obviously he didn't expect him to be able to analyze such a result, and said secretly in his heart: "This kid has really grown." In the past, although he was extremely smart, he had a vague view of the general trend, but since the last discord plan, he has been able to analyze and use relationships......

I secretly praise it in my heart. The old man did not answer, but sighed lightly and remained silent.

Seeing the old man like this, Jiang Xingchen knew that he had judged correctly, and secretly said in his heart: "No wonder the Hou Ye will move the property to my territory, it turns out to be ...... That's not right!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Xingchen was taken aback: "This matter is completely unexpected. How could the Marquis of Dingbei be unpredictable...... In addition, the Star Leader also belongs to the scope of Hongyuan City, after the new lord takes over. I'm under someone's jurisdiction!"

With such a question, Jiang Xingchen told the old man to leave for Hongyuan City immediately, and even put down the Yuan Stone for the time being. This matter is not only about Hongyuan City, but also about the development of his own territory. He had to figure out his doubts.

The old man is already seven layers of vitality. Once the speed is released, the speed of the letter bird is not slower, and it is very easy to take only Jiang Xingchen himself, it has crossed three hundred miles in less than two months, and the speed exceeds seventy-five kilometers per hour, and the strong wind blows Jiang Xingchen's eyes hard.

In the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the Dingbei Hou has long been waiting here. After seeing Jiang Xingchen's first sentence, he said directly: "Boy." Wanrou is there in the future, you must help me take care of it!"

"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen straightened his eyes, and slandered in his heart: "You are going to be in charge of the Sixth Legion, and you are not going to die, how can you say that it is like parting with life and death!"

The Marquis of Dingbei seemed to know Jiang Xingchen's thoughts, and explained: "After I leave, Hongyuan City will be taken over by others sooner or later, and I don't want Wanrou to be wronged in the process of the new lord controlling the territory...... That's why you put her in your star collar, you know?"

Jiang Xingchen nodded, and then said solemnly: "Master Hou, don't forget, my Xingchen Territory is also within the scope of Hongyuan City!"

Dingbei Hou smiled faintly, patted Jiang Xingchen on the shoulder and said, "The condition for me to take over the regular legion is to carve out the Xingchen Leader from Hongyuan City!"

"What?" Jiang Xingchen and the old man both widened their eyes and looked at Dingbei Hou in astonishment. Xingchen Territory is demarcated, which means that Jiang Xingchen can have greater autonomy and more freedom in the future, and the taxes will be directly handed over to the empire, and the cost of saving in the middle will be greater.

Maybe Jiang Xingchen doesn't care about taxes, but being able to get rid of the jurisdiction of a new lord is the best news.

"Boy, don't be too happy, according to the imperial regulations, the viscount is not eligible ......to obtain a direct territory!

Dingbei Hou's words gave Jiang Xingchen a basin of cold water, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Any good thing is not so easy to get!"

"Hehe!" the old man laughed and said, "You are now a second-class viscount, and if you want to reach the earl, you must at least be promoted by two levels...... But the more you go, the harder it is to get promoted!"

The Marquis of Dingbei also smiled slightly and said, "Not only that, after I take charge of the Sixth Legion, Hongyuan City will be temporarily managed by the Empire, and this period will not exceed three months at most...... In other words, you can't be promoted to earl in three months, and when the new lord is confirmed, it will be difficult for your star lord to draw out the line!"

"Three months, Earl!" Jiang Xingchen took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, that's about it, if you have something to do, you don't have to send me then, someone from the military department will pick me up and leave directly!"

"Hmm!" Jiang Xingchen replied and was about to leave. But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly thought that there was still a doubt, and there was a standing under his feet.

"Master Hou, I'm still a little puzzled...... You were preparing to move to Xingchen Ling a few months ago, and a few days ago, you were going to move the two major restaurants there, and you even released the news that when Xingchen Ling was newly built, singing, dancing and eating were all on the same ......"

Hearing Jiang Xingchen's doubts, Dingbei Hou smiled: "Boy, are you stupid, do you think I already knew about the incident of the Sixth Legion...... It's the Empire that wants to establish the Eighth Legion, and I've already been made the commander of the Legion!"

"Eighth Legion!" Jiang Xingchen and the old man glanced at each other, and then suddenly realized.

"The Imperial defense system seems to be complete, but in fact, there is an important loophole, that is, it is not mobile enough, and no defense point is tight, and no other place can rescue it. And once one point is breached, it is likely to cause a rout on the whole front......" Dingbeihou explained.

Since the last time Tang Chuxue's First Army fought with the Heavenly Wing Kingdom, the Great Emperor and the military department have paid attention to this problem. Therefore, early in the morning, he began to plan such an Eighth Army Corps specifically responsible for rescue, and the corps commander studied it for a long time. It was decided to let Dingbei Hou take the post.

Coming out of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Jiang Xingchen returned to his home in Hongyuan City and carefully sorted out his thoughts. There's been so much going on lately.

After returning from the Moon Shadow Kingdom, he first ran out of money and sold his grain. Then it was to solve the matter of the teahouse, and then to help Wei Ning fight against the Tongyu Kingdom, and when he came back, he learned of the failure of the second food festival, and returned to the territory to open up the wasteland and plant tea. finally succeeded, but there was an emergency, and at this moment, it was Dingbei Hou who was transferred away. He had to move up two levels in a row within three months to get the Star Lords to be carved out independently and avoid being controlled by the new lords......

One pile at a time, one by one, things spin in my head like a marquee. Jiang Xingchen stroked it little by little. Thinking about what you have to do.

"Tea leaves need to be protected, there are so many vibrant tea trees, no one can take care of it...... Yuanshi's research is not in a hurry, and I can't figure out anything for a while, anyway, I can still be busy on my own...... The exploration of the composite force array should not be rushed, and according to past experience, I don't know when it will be effective...... The new town is still three months away, but there is no hurry...... Promoted to earl within three months. This is tight enough, you have to hold on...... But before that, let's go see Captain Wei Ning...... That's right. It's my birthday in ten days, and Mei'er said she wants to come back......"

Jiang Xingchen sat alone in the courtyard, thought for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and asked the old man: "Old fellow, your Tang family has Tang Chuxue as the commander of the first legion, does the family still have a territory now?"

The old man looked at Jiang Xingchen, smiled proudly, and said, "Our Tang family has no territory...... However, the lord of the territory is a subsidiary family of our Tang family!"

Jiang Xingchen opened his mouth, looked at the old man in a daze for a long time, and said secretly in his heart: "I actually played behind the scenes, I went, this old thing is really cheating, I can think of such a method......"

Thinking of this, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but secretly note that he must cultivate a few cronies in the family, and in case a similar situation arises in the future, he will also learn from the old man to play like this.

However, he soon suppressed this thought, the Tang family has survived in the Qiankun Empire for more than 200 years, and it can be said that it is the founding father, and its power is intertwined, and it is beyond imagination, how can it be compared to himself! Isn't it nonsense that he wants to cultivate a family of cronies in just a few years or ten years? Look at Dingbei Hou to know that the people are thin, how can it develop.

"It's better to concentrate on developing my territory, I haven't cultivated, and the emperor can't transfer me to the army!"

With a secret voice, Jiang Xingchen said to the old man who was still in trouble: "Let's go, let's go to the imperial capital and visit the commander of the Wei Ning Army!"

"Boy, do you have a way to revive Wei Ning?" the old man's eyes lit up.

"I have a fart solution, you are the great doctor, okay!" Jiang Xingchen glanced at the old man and said, "I just went to see the legion commander, just two days after fighting side by side, something like this happened to him, how can I not show my face?"

"Cut! and fight side by side, real bracelet, you're just making some evil ways!" the old man pouted.

"I'm the next Ao, this old thing is here to find fault again!" Jiang Xingchen's forehead was bruised, and he pointed at the old man and scolded: "You are only the watch chain, I am an evil sect crooked! Okay, you wait, I will get some Kong Ming lanterns to go to your territory when I go back...... Woo~"

Before Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, he was covered by the old man, and his angry voice came from his ears: "Little soul is weak, it's poisoned overnight, I'll just say something about you, you and his brew will go to my house and set fire, and there is no humanity...... I still want to marry the first snow girl to you, are you the attitude towards your mother's family, I don't know if you respect the old and love the young and love the wife......"

"I'll strangle it!" Jiang Xingchen struggled to break free from the old man's shackles, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Where is this Nima, you are not finished yet, you really treat me as the son-in-law of the Tang family, if you let Tang Chuxue know the way, you must not kill me......"

When they were arguing here, in the imperial capital palace, the emperor had a gloomy face, looked at a man in black below, and asked in a cold voice: "Have you found out, who do they want to launch to compete for the position of the commander of the Eighth Legion?"

"I found out, it's the Fang family's sister-in-law, Fang Wuwu!" said the man in black.

"Fang Wuwu!" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes!

"How is Wei Ning there?" the Emperor asked again.

"There is still no sign of awakening, Mr. Huang Shi and Mr. Qingyun are doing their best to treat them!"

The Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't speak again, and the hall fell silent......

At this time, in the aristocratic management center, Yuan Xixuan and Yuan Hao were full of smiles, as if they had encountered a great good thing!

"Haha......ha Wei Ning's injury really gave us an excellent opportunity! Otherwise, Fang Wuwu would definitely not be able to compete for the position of Dingbei Hou for the position of commander of the Eighth Army Corps!" Yuan Hao said.

"Fang Wuwu activated the Yuan Spring at the age of ten, stepped into the realm of condensation at the age of sixteen, was promoted to the Yuan Qi at the age of twenty-eight, and now he is in his early thirties, he is already a master of the second layer of Yuan Qi, and he is definitely a genius among the younger generation...... It's a pity that there was a Tang Chuxue, and he couldn't hold his head up! This time, he finally found a chance!"

"At first, I didn't expect that the emperor and the marshal would push out the Marquis of Dingbei, and I thought that there was no way to fight, after all, the merits and experience of the Marquis of Dingbei were not comparable to Fang Wuwu, who would have thought that such a thing would happen...... Speaking of which, we also have to thank Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect!" Yuan Xixuan said.

"Yes!" Yuan Hao replied, and his smile gradually disappeared.

"Yuan Hao, you don't have to be jealous of Fang Wuwu, in terms of cultivation talent, you are indeed inferior to him, but you and him are not in the same direction of development, both of them are focused on cultivating on our side!" Yuan Xixuan raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder.

"Well, I know what to say!" Yuan Hao's mouth hooked up again, and he said slowly: "Father, let's fight here, will it have an impact on the front line of the Sixth Legion?" I heard that the opponent's chariot machine crossbow is very powerful!"

"Hehe! How can it be influential, the Marquis of Dingbei is in charge, and there are 10,000 Praetorian Guards around the emperor...... Don't forget, we are defensive, the opponent's chariot crossbow is suitable for flat ground combat, not siege, don't worry!"

With a smile, Yuan Xixuan patted Yuan Hao's shoulder again and said, "This time to win the position of the commander of the Eighth Legion, we will not be as passive as before, and we will always earn back some benefits!"

Yuan Hao sighed regretfully, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, our families already have territories. The rest is also not enough titles, otherwise, Hongyuan City is still empty, it is a rich place......"

"Not really, although we don't have anyone, there must be more people who are worried about it......" Yuan Xixuan's smile kept on his face, and he smiled even brighter at this time.

"Father means...... I understand!" Yuan Hao's eyes sparkled.

Early the next morning, after half a day and a night galloping, the old man rushed to the imperial capital with Jiang Xingchen and went straight to the north of the city, Mr. Huangshi's mansion.

Mr. Huang Shi and Mr. Qingyun were there, and when they heard that the old man and Jiang Xingchen had arrived, they greeted them at the same time. (To be continued......)
