The Magistrate of Anping County be spared for now; he cannot be killed until the appointment order from the Prefect of Xinyang is issued.
To ensure absolute security, appointing one's own person as magistrate is absolutely necessary.
Yu Dong left, Xu Youling followed behind him without saying a word, not daring to utter another word. She had thought Su Chen was easy to get along with all this time, but today it seemed that this was not the case.
The person in front of me... is definitely not simple.
Soon.
Night fell.
Yu Dong infiltrated Anping County, where the other Imperial Guard had already hidden themselves. General Zhou, on the other hand, led a group of elite soldiers who also infiltrated the county.
A massacre is about to unfold.
Su Chen sat atop Green Wolf Mountain, beneath a pavilion. A gentle evening breeze blew by as he poured himself a cup of the fine wine he had stolen. After swallowing it, he couldn't help but shake his head.
It tastes awful.
Is this considered good wine?
Su Chen was somewhat speechless. Perhaps because he was used to the wines of the Cultivation World, he felt a bit repulsed by the wines that mortals drank.
Let's have some tea instead.
Firelight still flickered all over Green Wolf Mountain, and Su Chen sat quietly among them.
Shortly after, footsteps were heard.
Yu Dong has returned. "Reporting to the Young Master, Anping County has been captured."
Su Chen nodded. "Replacing all the officers and soldiers with our own people isn't urgent; we can do it gradually."
"Yes, sir!"
Yu Dong left again, and Green Wolf Mountain fell silent once more.
Su Chen slowly raised his head and looked towards a certain spot in the night sky. What followed was the gradual erosion of Xinyang, ultimately bringing Xinyang completely under his control.
This may take a little time.
Over the next two weeks, the number of people on Green Wolf Mountain Yuelai, and nearly half of his two thousand men were transferred to Anping County.
There are 500 people left on Green Wolf Mountain, and another 500 people on the opposite mountain.
Su Chen summoned all three hundred Imperial Guard he had drawn in the past two weeks, ordering them to gather intelligence in Xinyang. A small portion of them left Xinyang to gather intelligence in Xinyang surrounding areas and deal with any matters that were detrimental to Su Chen.
For example, some news about Su Chen has been circulating in Xinyang.
After a period of recuperation, Su Chen's body gradually became stronger, he was no longer as thin as before, and his appearance became more handsome.
[Sign-In successful! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 1 Fierce General!]
[Sign-In successful. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 1 Strategist.]
Um?
Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly; he had just Sign-In two special individuals.
"Call!"
Two figures suddenly appeared in front of Su Chen. One looked scholarly, while the other was tall and strong, about the same size as General Zhou.
The basic information about the two people immediately came to mind.
Xu Buhuan, Zhao Ji.
One was a Strategist, the other a Fierce General.
The number of capable people under his command has increased.
Su Chen's lips curled up slightly. He had clearly witnessed General Zhou's strength during this period. Zhou Guanhai had a strong grasp of military affairs, including Array Formation, terrain, and so on. He believed that General Zhou could build an invincible army for him.
"Greetings, Master!"
The two immediately bowed to Su Chen.
Su Chen assigned them positions: one was Military Advisor, while Zhao Ji, like General Zhou, was a corps Corps Commander, though they currently had a small number of soldiers.
Su Chen summoned five hundred ordinary soldiers and three hundred elite soldiers to lead Zhao Ji.
However, they did not Garrison on Green Wolf Mountain, but on another mountain in the opposite direction, about ten or twenty miles away, forming a triangle with the three mountains.
There weren't many people, but Su Chen felt a strong sense of security.
After that, he planned to summon one or two thousand people every two months, and then proceed in this way step by step. Now that some of them have taken control of Anping County, they can be self-sufficient in food and drink.
However, there isn't that much meat; we occasionally come to Green Wolf Mountain to bring some back.
Three months have Past in the blink of an eye.
This evening.
Xu Youling glanced at the man before her, feeling inexplicably restless, or perhaps even a little agitated.
Both men and women experience those kinds of emotions.
Su Chen has never laid a hand on Xu Youling over the years because he is experienced and can restrain himself. However, Xu Youling warms Su Chen's bed every day and looks at the man in front of her every day, so her feelings are inevitably a little different.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Youling shook her red lips. She sat up slightly and then gently took off her clothes, leaving not even her underwear.
Then she lifted the blanket and moved Past to Su Chen.
Su Chen opened his eyes. The night was dark and his vision was blurry, but he could still see the shy look on Xu Youling's face.
This day was destined to be anything but peaceful.
The raging volcano erupted at that moment.
The following morning.
Xu Youling had her arm around Su Chen's neck, her breathing even, clearly exhausted from yesterday.
Su Chen wasn't in a hurry and didn't get up until noon.
After having sex with Su Chen, Xu Youling's demeanor became noticeably more intimate.
In the blink of an eye.
Six months Past.
For the past six months, the Great Yu Dynasty has been frantically searching for him, and his portrait and reward posters have been plastered all over Xinyang Prefecture.
He can't find Su Chen, he must be very anxious right now.
There was even fear!
Su Chen's lips curled up slightly. In the past six months, he had summoned 10,000 troops, and there were still nearly 40,000 left to be summoned. His Fierce General had increased to five, and his Strategist had increased to two.
They have no worries about food and drink; they simply can't finish it all.
Now, nearly half of Xinyang Prefecture is under Su Chen's control. He spends most of his time at Qinglang, occasionally going down the mountain to explore the surrounding area.
While Su Chen could tolerate this kind of life, it was indeed a bit boring.
The main problem is that the Great Yu Dynasty is too powerful. If I were to be exposed, hundreds of thousands of troops might come to attack.
We can't hold on, we simply can't hold on.
Therefore, Su Chen could only keep a low profile.
Boring.
Su Chen thought for a moment, then asked Yu Dong to come over and instructed him to find some pretty girls in Xinyang Prefecture and send them over, but not to force them; he should pay them to come voluntarily.
He asked himself, "I'm not exactly a good person either."
Naturally, they wouldn't stick to the old ways, especially since in this worldview, it's quite normal for multiple women to serve one husband.
Engaging in deep conversations with women, chatting about everything under the sun, has always been Su Chen's hobby, even while he's in this space.
There's a rather serious problem: we don't know if his body can handle it.
Two days later, Yu Dong returned to Green Wolf Mountain.
"Young Master, I have investigated this matter. There is Tianxiang Tower in Xinyang Prefecture where the women perform but do not sell their bodies. The three top courtesans are all exceptionally beautiful. I have seen it myself, and it is indeed true."
"However, although Tianxiang Tower sells art but not sex, the girls there receive no pay and have to work for the Tianxiang Tower for their entire lives. I spoke with one of the girls, and she said that if they could be redeemed, she would be willing to follow the master and become his concubine."
Su Chen nodded. "And then?"
Yu Dong clapped his hands, and three travel-worn women dressed in Black Robe approached. Although they covered most of their bodies, it was still clear that they had very good figures.
"So my subordinates sent men to destroy the Tianxiang Tower, killing everyone inside and bringing those three people back."
