"The Governor's Mansion? Isn't it the General's Mansion for the Northern Expedition?" Qin Mo was taken aback and asked Wu Shengze.
"It's the Governor's Mansion, Young Master. I've asked other families, and they all go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters. I don't know why."
The Great Xia Dynasty established the position of Governor of Ulan City in Ulan City, responsible for the city's construction, garrison management, and other matters. However, the highest-ranking official here was not the Governor of Ulan City, but the General Who Conquers the North. The General Who Conquers the North was responsible for the war strategy against the orcs, as well as the allocation of troops stationed along the more than 1,000-mile-long wall. In essence, the Governor of Ulan City was the General Who Conquers the North's logistics minister.
Logically, Qin Mo and his group should be under the jurisdiction of the General of the Northern Expedition's Mansion when they arrive in Wulan City. The Governor of Wulan City is also under the jurisdiction of the General of the Northern Expedition's Mansion. The two sides are colleagues, but now they are being ordered to go to the Governor's Mansion for a meeting. Things seem a bit strange.
The Ulan City Governor's Office is located in the very center of Ulan City and has always been the highest center of power in Ulan City. Until six hundred years ago, when the orcs suffered setbacks in Xizhou, they gradually redeployed some of their forces to the Great Xia Empire. In response to Lin Yu's increasingly powerful orc offensive, the Great Xia Empire established the position of General Who Conquers the North, appointed by a high-level cultivator, in order to suppress and integrate the growing number of border troops and private armies.
After Emperor Zhaowu ascended the throne, he changed the strategy towards the orcs and appointed Duke Wu'an, Zhao Qirui, as the General Who Conquers the North. Zhao Qirui was a Realm cultivator, one of the strongest in the world. There were only four Realm cultivators in the Great Xia Dynasty. Emperor Zhaowu's decision to send him to the north showed his determination to conquer the orcs.
When Qin Mo arrived at the Governor's Mansion in Wulan City, the council hall was already filled with people. The roaring charcoal fire filled the hall with smoke, and the nobles were whispering amongst themselves, clearly unaware of the unusual situation that was taking place.
Soon, the main hall was filled with people. Then, Chen Xuanji and another middle-aged man walked into the hall side by side. This time, it was no need for an introduction to know that this man was Li Zinian, the governor of Wulan City. In this city, only this man could walk side by side with Chen Xuanji. As for Duke Wu'an Zhao Qirui, Chen Xuanji was not qualified to appear with him at all.
"Gentlemen, the military situation is urgent. I, the Commander-in-Chief, will keep this brief. This is a secret of the Nen Kingdom. Anyone who leaks it will be executed." Li Zinian's voice was not loud, but it echoed in every corner of the hall, making it clear to everyone.
Seeing that all the nobles had changed their expressions and lost all their cynicism, Li Zinian's dignified face revealed a hint of satisfaction. After all, nobles were the cornerstone of the nation, and these young people were all pillars of the state.
"Half a month ago, the Great General launched a surprise attack on Maimai City while the enemy was off guard, and now the defending enemy has been completely annihilated. Maimai City now belongs to our Great Xia!!!"
