Arrangement of the Martial Prohibition Hall

On April 18th of the tenth year of Chengping, Li Xuewu and his entourage arrived in Yuncheng, Yunzhou.

Looking at Yuncheng, which he had left several years ago, Lin Chi couldn't help but feel emotional.

You have to understand, he has been here for more than ten years, and he has been giving orders here for more than ten years.

In the end, they withdrew from here in a sorry state, and now they're coming back here in this way.

Seeing that Lin Chi seemed to still be sighing, Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Old Lin, isn't it normal for people like us in the Jianghu to rise and fall, to come and go?"

Just as Lin Chi was about to answer, Jiang Liu's figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

Upon arriving, Jiang Liu cupped his hands in thanks to everyone and said, "Thank you all for coming from afar to lend me a hand. Let's go inside now!"

Li Xuewu and the others clasped their fists in response to Jiang Liu, and then followed Jiang Liu into Yuncheng.

The group that followed Li Xuewu and the others slowly entered Yuncheng.

Jiang Liu led them to a huge house that had been vacated before, intending to settle them there temporarily.

More than a hundred people came to Yunzhou with Li Xuewu and the others this time. As for the others, they will arrive later.

Initially, there were five or six hundred people who followed Li Xuewu and others from Mo Province to Qi Province, including their families, disciples, and subordinates.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Liu introduced Qin Bailian and Yi Yue to them.

Everything was fine until Lin Chi saw Qin Bailian, at which point his expression turned a little sour. However, he quickly smiled, presumably having suppressed his thoughts.

However, Jiang Liu doesn't care about their past grievances. As long as they do their jobs well, that's all that matters. As for those who dare to disobey, Jiang Liu will make them know the consequences.

Jiang Liu then ordered a banquet to be prepared to entertain Li Xuewu and his entourage.

After Li Xuewu and the others had finished their meal, Jiang Liu took the lead in suggesting that they be sent to garrison Qi County and Tian County.

Li Xuewu and the others were somewhat taken aback when they heard Jiang Liu's arrangement. They were not prepared to go to such a remote prefecture.

Jiang Liu looked at them and smiled, saying, "Gentlemen, do you know why I arranged for you to be there?"

Ming Chengyun thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the situation in Xun Province has changed?"

Jiang Liu nodded and said, "Yes, the latest news is that the Buddhist and Daoist sects are escalating their friction. If this trend continues, it shouldn't be long before they go to war."

Chen Qiansong and the others then realized that if the Daoist and Buddhist sects were to go to war, these two counties would be the closest for both defense and offense.

Therefore, Jiang Liu placed them in these two prefectures so that they could keep track of the battle situation between the Daoist and Buddhist sects and be ready to defend or attack at any time.

When Li Xuewu and the others saw that Jiang Liu had sent them to such an important place as soon as he arrived, it meant that he didn't treat them as outsiders and was on guard against them, so they were immediately happy.

However, only the person in question knows what they are really thinking; at least they haven't shown it on the surface.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while longer before Jiang Liu left with Yi Yue and Qin Bailian, leaving them to discuss the matter amongst themselves.

"Xue Wu, isn't Jiang Liu being a bit too much of a bully?" Chen Qiansong spoke first after Jiang Liu left.

Li Xuewu glanced at Chen Qiansong and said, "If you were in Jiang Liu's position, would you directly leave outsiders to guard the prefecture city?"

"Uh!" Chen Qiansong's tone faltered, unsure of what to say. If he were in Jiang Liu's position, he would probably have gone even further.

"Alright, this is already very good. Haven't you seen the current situation in Yunzhou? To Jiang Liu, we are just icing on the cake."

"Although there are more of us, it's not like we're indispensable," Ming Chengyun quickly said, trying to smooth things over.

"Why don't we join other states and see?" Lin Chi said from the side.

"If we joined another state, it would really be better to stay in Yunzhou. Haven't you seen how much better Yunzhou is now than when you were here?" Jiang Congyue glanced at Lin Chi and said.

Lin Chi's face turned pale upon hearing Jiang Congyue's words, and he stopped talking.

"Alright, since no one has any objections, let's make the assignments! Who will go to Qi County, and who will go to Tian County," He Chu said.

Then the six people from the Martial Prohibition Hall began to discuss.

After leaving the courtyard arranged for the members of the Martial Prohibition Hall, Jiang Liu nodded to Qin Bailian and Yi Yue.

The three then went together to the Listening Wind Pavilion's residence to discuss the supervision of the members of the Martial Prohibition Hall.

When Jiang Liu and the others arrived at the Listening Wind Pavilion's encampment, Murong Yin, Feng Yue, and the others were already waiting there.

Afterwards, Jiang Liu assigned tasks to everyone and finally instructed Listening Wind Pavilion to closely monitor the subordinates of the six Grandmaster of the Martial Prohibition Hall.

As for those six Grandmaster, we can only rely on the Ascension Tower to supervise them; the Listening Wind Pavilion doesn't have that kind of strength yet.

Jiang Liu would absolutely not allow them to act recklessly, after all, Jiang Liu had always heard of the reputation of the Martial Prohibition Hall.

After assigning everyone their responsibilities, Jiang Liu took Murong Yin and Feng Yue back to the mansion by the mountain.

After returning, Jiang Liu saw that it wasn't too late, so he continued to cultivate the Saintly Sky Art.

Murong Yin and Feng Yue felt quite helpless looking at Jiang Liu, who had only devoted himself to cultivation since returning.

However, they had no complaints, since they had known all along that Jiang Liu was just like that.

The next day, early in the morning, Li Xuewu and the others arrived at the mountainside mansion where Jiang Liu lived.

Jiang Liu looked at Li Xuewu and the others, and said with a smile, "Are you all ready?"

Li Xuewu and the others nodded and said, "We have already made the assignments. Lin Chi, Chen Qiansong, and I will go to Qi County, while Ming Chengyun, Jiang Congyue, He Chu, and the others will go to garrison Tian County."

"Alright! Then I'll leave the safety of these two prefectures to you all." Jiang Liu nodded in satisfaction.

"As for manpower, you can choose the people you brought yourself! The rest can settle down in Yuncheng," Jiang Liu continued.

When Li Xuewu and the others heard that they were to bring their own men, they all nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, everyone bid farewell to Jiang Liu.

After all, the situation in these two counties is currently unclear, and they need to get there as soon as possible.

Jiang Liu watched the departing members of the Martial Prohibition Hall, his eyes flickering.

He noticed that Lin Chi seemed to have some ideas, but he didn't think he would actually harbor any thoughts.

Then I will definitely let him know that his era in Yunzhou is over.

Not long after, Li Xuewu, Lin Chi, and Chen Qiansong set off for Qi County with a group of people.

Following that, Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue also led their men and set off for Tian County ahead of others.

He Chu stayed behind to treat his arm injury and see if it was possible to reattach it.

Jiang Liu agreed to ask if there was any way within the Sects, since He Chu was now working for him, and Jiang Liu felt that they shouldn't be treated too unfairly.
