Such blatant promotion of personnel without the permission of the Ministry of Personnel and the imperial court is extremely presumptuous.

Asai sneered, "I have done right by the people and by my own conscience, and I am not afraid of them."

He risked his life to report the truth back then, only to have his family destroyed and his family wiped out. He was already disappointed then, and now he is even less afraid.

If the court dares to blame him, he dares to go to the court and berate people. It's just an official hat; he can just throw it away.

Asai remained dignified for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, with Your Highness here, I will be fine."

Xiao Zhixing chuckled, "Go, write down the list for me."

This can be considered as agreeing to his proposal.

That's what she thought too; the imperial court could send one or two people over, and all the others could be promoted locally.

These people are not only of good character, but having witnessed her methods, they will also be more obedient in the future.

With this promotion, Mengzhou was essentially in her hands.

As for the imperial court, she needed to submit another memorial to criticize them, and then, naturally, make this suggestion.

Anyone who disagrees should first win an argument against themselves.

The ministers: Have some decency!

Xiao Zhixing was waiting for the Xiao family army to arrive when Bai Feng, who had only been in Kasang Mountain for two days, sent a message: "Xiao Xing, Snow Sand Valley has been found."

Where?

"This place is less than a hundred miles from the capital of the Northern Frontier. It must be the work of that Lovi."

Location points appeared in Xiao Zhixing's mind.

"Do you need me to come over?"

"No need, it's a piece of cake. I've already infiltrated once. Did you think setting up an array would stop me?"

"Okay, any discoveries?"

"It's true that quite a few Heavenly Realm cultivators have been created here using drugs, but those drugs must be hard to come by. I counted, there are thirteen Heavenly Realm cultivators in the valley, and there should be some more outside. The total number is probably no more than thirty or fifty."

Xiao Zhixing was not so optimistic. Even if thirty or fifty Heavenly Realm cultivators were forced to level up, their power should not be underestimated.

If it's a team battle, and they unleash their full potential, they can easily kill a True Heaven Realm expert.

"Come back first." Due to the pressure of the plane, Bai Feng's power level is only at the second level of the Heaven Rank, which is too dangerous for her.

"I know, hehe, I got some of their potions, I'll be back soon for you to study."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xiao Zhixing frowned as the conversation ended.

These Heavenly Realm experts must either be captured and controlled, or they must be eliminated.

We must not give them the opportunity to cause trouble.

With a sudden thought, she pretended to have accidentally escaped from Lovi's control and sent a vague message to the Emperor System: Snow Sand Valley, Fifty Heavenly Ranks.

The Emperor System was indeed alerted and quickly contacted 170, "170? Are you still there?"

The answer it received was a jumble of crackling sounds.

The Emperor System was furious and had no idea what had happened to 170.

There is also a hidden worry: if Lowe can control 170, does he have some kind of secret technique to deal with the system?

So, what if it were you in that situation?

"No, Lowe must die."

There was also information from 170: the other party had actually cultivated so many Heavenly Rank cultivators; he had kept it a secret very well.

Xiao Zhixing quietly retreated, waiting to see the show.

She turned around and led the women's corps to begin training.

The girls followed Mu Wan for several days, got tanned, and felt much better.

Looking into those clear, admiring eyes, Xiao Zhixing smiled gently and asked, "Do you all recognize me?"

"We know each other!" the girls said shyly.

Do you know what I am?

Everyone was puzzled, not understanding the meaning of her words.

Xiao Zhixing smiled arrogantly, "I am the only female princess of the Great Sheng Dynasty, the only female official in the Great Sheng court. I have won many battles and defeated the Northern Barbarians. Tell me, am I powerful? Am I majestic?"

The girls couldn't help but shout, "The Prince is the most amazing!!"

Xiao Zhixing laughed heartily, "You can all be amazing too! Girls, wouldn't you like to become someone like me?"

"I want to..." her voice trailed off.

Do you think I'm an exception? That you couldn't possibly do it?

The girls didn't say anything, but their eyes conveyed the same meaning.

Xiao Zhixing's smile remained gentle. "Of course I am unique. As someone so unique, I have come here personally to teach you. Will you disappoint me?"

"No!!" The voice grew louder.

"Very well, I expect you all to become unique individuals, just like my General Mu Wan, Guard Shi Jiaowu, and Lady Lin Rushu, to be unique and beautiful girls."

One of the girls couldn't help but start crying.

Xiao Zhixing looked at them gently, "You have endured many hardships to stand before me. You will surely emerge from your cocoons and shine brightly for the world, illuminating the lives of many more young women in the future!"

Without needing to say anything more, these girls seemed to have been given a new lease on life and began a crazy training session with Xiao Zhixing.

Running, standing on stakes, carrying loads, rolling in mud—facing the early spring sunshine, they poured out their sweat and hope.

No matter how strict Xiao Zhixing was, and how he repeatedly increased the intensity of the training, they persevered through tears and gritted their teeth, encouraging each other, and not one of them ever said they would give up.

[Red comment: Looking at them, that dream world doesn't seem so far away after all.]

[Yellow comment: Generation after generation of them, they truly illuminate the path for future generations of women!]

With the matter in Mengzhou basically settled, the 20,000-strong Xiao family army swept through various bandits and gathered in Xiao Zhixing's direction.

After arranging things for Lin Rushu and the others, Xiao Zhixing saw off Nian Chenghan and the others, and then led Mu Wan and the Women's Army northwards, ostensibly for training.

During this period, the imperial court had no objection to her idea of ​​promoting officials locally, but only sent two young county magistrates as a token gesture.

The person in question was the same Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) she proctored this year.
