"What's wrong with it?"
His good-for-nothing son is, after all, the Governor of Yunzhou.
Cooperating with the imperial court in investigating cases is simply an obligation.
As for my temple sending people there, it's merely fulfilling my duty!
Hu Guodong raised an eyebrow and said.
"Brother Hu, what I'm worried about is that Chen Qinghe leading the team might anger Li Fan."
Although the four major families and we have all sent experts at the Dharma Manifestation level, this lineup is probably no match for Li Fan.
Li Youcai lowered his voice and said, "If a fight breaks out, we might be wiped out. If Tuoba Ye dies too, will the old man cause us trouble?"
"It's better that he's dead. The old man only had this one precious son. Li Fan killed his son, so his first instinct is to fight Li Fan to the death."
As for holding us accountable? What does this have to do with us?
The four major families took the lead, and the transfer order was issued by the deputy director.
We were just following orders!
Seeing that Zhang Biao and Li Youcai were still frowning and silent, Hu Guodong continued, "Youcai, Zhang Biao, I know what you're worried about, but you really don't need to worry."
Even if the old man is powerful, can he be more formidable than the four great families?
Moreover, the issue concerning Li Fan and the Jixia Academy is not limited to the four major families.
The most powerful clans in the Great Zhou Dynasty have always been the Great Zhou royal family.
He secluded himself in seclusion simply to avoid leaving behind the infamy of massacring the First Academy for posterity.
"Brother Hu is right. Once a decision is made, we shouldn't be timid or hesitant!"
Li Youcai and Zhang Biao nodded in agreement, their eyes gradually hardening.
......
"Lang ge li ge lang..."
Tuoba Longwu hummed a little tune, in a very good mood.
Even snowfall in winter becomes extremely pleasing to the eye.
"father!"
Just then, a familiar voice came.
Tuoba Longwu suddenly looked up.
That bastard, why is he back at this time?
Tuoba Longwu's smile froze, and his relaxed brows furrowed slightly.
Could it be that this brat has become interested in getting involved in all this mess in Tiandu?
"Dad, why do you have that expression every time you see me?"
Seeing Tuoba Longwu's expression, Tuoba Ye asked somewhat guiltily.
Although he was certain that Tuoba Longwu cared for him enough, it was too embarrassing to tell anyone about this.
Tuoba Ye wasn't sure if his father would hang him up and beat him!
He returned this time to prepare to resign from his post as the Governor of Yunzhou under the Zhenwu Division.
But then he thought again that he shouldn't.
He only brought the letter back today and gave it to Jiang Lan.
There's no way Dad could have found out so quickly.
By the time her father found out, Jiang Lan had already finished taking care of things.
Even if Dad gets angry then, there'll be no going back.
With this in mind, Tuoba Ye calmed down.
What news have you heard?
Tuoba Longwu asked.
The sound of the wind?
I received it?
I'm sending this urgent message over an 800-mile journey, what news could I possibly get!
Tuoba Ye was taken aback at first, then he asked in a low voice, "Father, what happened?"
have no idea?
Tuoba Longwu glanced at Tuoba Ye, his furrowed brows relaxing slightly.
It's a good thing to know nothing.
But then I thought, what would he come back for if he knows nothing?
Is he planning to complain and ask me to help him get revenge?
Although he didn't know the details of what happened in Yunzhou, he knew about his own son.
It's definitely impossible for me to side with Li Fan.
The most likely reason he didn't die is that he begged for mercy.
Now he feels he has lost face and wants me to get it back for him.
However, Tuoba Longwu does not want to get involved in Yunzhou's affairs right now, not to mention whether he is afraid of offending the Jixia Academy.
He wasn't sure if he could handle Li Fan alone.
"Never mind, it's better that we don't know!"
Tell me, what brings you back this time?
Tuoba Longwu continued, "Don't even mention asking me to help you deal with Li Fan. Your father wants to live a few more years."
"Father, look at what you're saying! I only came back this time because I missed you!"
Tuoba Ye said without batting an eye.
"After all these years, he's finally spoken a human word!"
Tuoba Longwu changed the subject, saying, "By the way, you're back. What's the situation with the Zhenwu Division in Yunzhou?"
"Father, don't worry! I've entrusted the Yunzhou Zhenwu Division to an absolutely reliable person."
Tuoba Ye forced a smile onto his face.
Li Fan, the Overlord Blade, is incredibly reliable.
Anyone who disobeys will be sent away!
"good!"
Upon hearing the words "absolutely reliable," Tuoba Longwu smiled with satisfaction.
This good-for-nothing has finally grown up; he even knows how to cultivate trusted confidants now.
"Since you have someone trustworthy to take care of things for you, stay home a little longer this time."
"Dad, don't worry, I'll stay home and spend more time with you this time."
"After going out for a while, she's become more sensible than before!"
Tuoba Longwu patted Tuoba Ye on the shoulder and said, "Let's have a good drink together today, just the two of us."
......
"Sister, is Tuoba Ye here to complain?"
Inside a residence within the Zhenwu Division, Jiang Xue asked in a low voice.
At this moment, Jiang Lan was holding a letter in her hand.
The letter was handed to me by Tuoba Ye.
Jiang Lan looked up at Jiang Xue, a hint of something unusual appearing in her calm eyes.
"Xiaoxue, take a look for yourself!"
Jiang Xue took the letter, and as she read it, her mouth slowly opened wide.
Is it really possible to do this?
This is not the first time that the Commander of Zhenwu Division has resigned.
But this is the first time that someone has recommended an outsider to succeed him while resigning.
Their attitude was so firm that there was absolutely no room for negotiation.
Even Tuoba Longwu and Tuoba Ye were brought out.
His father fully supported this matter.
"Xiaoxue, what kind of person do you think Li Fan is?"
"A very good person."
"A good person can't scare Tuoba Ye like that!"
"He's usually a little... fierce!"
As she spoke, Jiang Xue began to lose some confidence.
Really... only a little bit...
"If I agree to Tuoba Ye's proposal, is Li Fan really willing to get involved in this mess?"
Jiang Lan changed the subject and asked.
At this time in Tiandu, the four major families and the academy were irreconcilable enemies.
What she is about to do will inevitably become the fuse.
At that time, the thirteen prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty will inevitably be filled with fighting and bloodshed.
Under these circumstances, the position of Governor of Yunzhou under the Zhenwu Commandery is not a good one.
But for her, it was also necessary to place her own people in this position.
Li Fan is a good candidate.
This knife is sharp enough.
However, one uncertainty remains: will Li Fan take over this position?
After all, he had a precedent of refusing a title from the imperial court.
"Sister, based on my understanding of Li Fan..."
The chances of him taking over are slim!
But if given even a little bit of resources, he would probably agree.
"How much is 'a little bit'?"
"As far as I know, the price Yan Mingshu paid for inviting Li Fan to serve as the leader of the Guangnan County Martial Arts Alliance was a sect-specific martial art and a first-class external martial arts technique."
A top-tier lightness skill and a sword made of divine material.
"That's a lot indeed!"
Jiang Lan frowned slightly.
Although she was the Grand Commander of the Central Plains under the Zhenwu Division, she had limited resources at her disposal.
After all, she was in Tiandu, and many people were watching her.
At this critical juncture, even the smallest thing can be magnified.
As for the academy, it didn't have many resources to begin with.
Many students, from impoverished backgrounds, were sponsored by the academy.
The most prestigious academy in the land is powerful, but it is certainly not wealthy.
"Sister, don't worry about resources. We may not have them, but Nanzhou does!"
Jiang Xue said coldly, "If what they bring out satisfies Li Fan, then I will not return to Nanzhou to seek revenge the next day."
If I cannot persuade Li Fan, I will kill them.
"Then it's your decision!"
Jiang Lan nodded; she was happy to see Jiang Xue take this step.
She didn't want to get involved in the hatred of the previous generation, nor did she want Jiang Xue to get involved.
Two secret letters were sent out by the Zhenwu Division.
One letter was sent to Nanzhou, and the other to Yunzhou.
