Chapter 869: Chapter 228 Chen 94? Can he do it?_2

”In the future, this Mianshui will be our Mianshui.”

Hearing this, Xiao Hu’s eyes lit up: ”Jiu Si Ge, doesn’t that mean we will become the local emperors of Mianshui.”

Chen Jie laughed: ”What else?”

Xiao Hu said: ”Jiu Si Ge, if we are the local emperors, why do we have to leave Mianshui?”

Chen Jie said: ”Hehe... If we stay in Mianshui, we will be like frogs at the bottom of a well. Hu Zi, remember, this measly Mianshui is just our starting point. Our goal is the whole world!”

”The whole world!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu’s eyes lit up again, and he quickly said: ”Ge, you are sure to become an emperor.”

Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said: ”Why do you think so?”

Xiao Hu said: ”Because, Ge, you are only suitable to be an emperor, otherwise, whatever you do would be challenging to fulfill your ambitions!”

Chen Jie gave Xiao Hu a sidelong glance and said: ”Since when did you learn to flatter?”

Xiao Hu said: ”I am not flattering, everything I say is true.”

Seeing Xiao Hu like this, Chen Jie said: ”Alright, enough of this talk. Go tell the subordinates now that there’s a day and a night journey left to Mianshui. Everyone should stay alert, and when we get to Huangzhou Prefecture, we must remain low-key and not cause trouble until we understand the situation.”

”Yes, Gang Leader, I’ll go right away.”

Xiao Hu said as he ran off to deliver the orders.

...

Just like this, without further words, the group soon reached Huangzhou Prefecture.

Huangzhou Prefecture is under the Hubei Road, governing a total of eight counties: Huanggang, Macheng, Huangpo, Yong’an, Mianshui, Luo Tian, Guangji, and Huangmei.

With a population of nearly 800,000, it is indeed a large prefecture.

And Huangzhou City is even more majestic. After a bumpy journey, everyone finally arrived at the gates of Huangzhou City.

Just seeing the walls of Huangzhou City, they were indeed worthy of a state mansion’s walls, much taller than those of Mianshui County.

The walls of Mianshui County are no more than three zhang high, but those of Huangzhou Prefecture rise a full six zhang.

The area within the city is also much larger than that of Mianshui County.

The entire Huangzhou Prefecture is divided into five districts: East, West, South, North, and Central. Each district is about the size of Mianshui County.

The situation within the city is also very complex, with powers intertwined, each occupying a side.

Regarding these forces, Chen Jie had already conducted complete reconnaissance before coming.

The greatest power is in the Central District, where the prefecture’s Darugachi and the Ruyang Royal Mansion’s Young Prince hold influence.

The Young Prince of the Ruyang Royal Mansion, as the local Darugachi, commands a cavalry force of 2,000, claiming invincibility.

Next is the East City Magistrate’s Government, the East City Gate being the prefect’s location.

The prefect, Chu Tian, hails from the current Prime Minister Tuotuo’s household, as a house slave, thus holding a high status. Although he is Han, he still has a place in Mianshui County, a decision-maker.

Differing from Tang Wannian of Mianshui County, he is a very independent man.

Moreover, the East City is also the stronghold of the Hongjian Sect, an important force under Prefect Chu Tian.

Besides the East City, there is the West City, where the Assistant Magistrate’s Office is located. The government office controls the city’s criminal investigations, lawsuits, and related cases, with the Assistant Magistrate named Wulu Tai, a Mulan Noble.

His area of influence mainly covers the West City, which is also the territory of Chunxiang Pavilion. Chunxiang Pavilion is a female cultivation sect, currently led by Lady Chunxiang, the Assistant Magistrate’s official wife.

Apart from these three major forces, there is the North City’s Garrison Commander’s Office.

The Garrison Commander’s Office is supported by King Qi, with Ba Tan, whom Chen Jie killed, being the official representative. However, he was only a nominal agent.

In fact, the true representative of the Garrison Commander’s Office is a disciple of the Kunlun Sect, Li Yongzhen.

He is a master in the Wolf Smoke Realm, an Inner Sect Disciple of the Kunlun Sect.

The reason it’s the Kunlun Sect is that the Kunlun Sect has already surrendered to King Qi Li Siqi, becoming his ally.

The condition Li Siqi offered them was allowing them to enjoy privileges within Qinghai Road and prioritize selecting disciples, with full support from King Qi’s Residence.

Therefore, the Kunlun Sect has fully sided with King Qi Li Siqi.

This is also the first example of one of the Six Great Sects openly supporting a court power.

Some say Kunlun is currying favor, others say Kunlun has lost the face of Han Martial Artists by siding with the court, but the Kunlun Sect is indifferent to this, even boldly stating that anyone who dares to speak against them will face a Jianghu duel, and the loser must keep silent!

Kunlun now sees clearly that Jianghu reputation is nothing but fleeting clouds, and nothing is more important than tangible benefits.

Therefore, the Kunlun Sect has aggressively sent disciples to join King Qi’s Residence, contributing to its cause.

King Qi’s Residence is very appreciative, directly placing Kunlun disciples in various mighty forces.

Thus, the North City Garrison Commander’s Office is also Kunlun’s domain.

Apart from these, only West City remains.

West City is more of a mixed bag, similar to what South City of Mianshui County used to be, with various small sects managing different streets.

This includes the former Fishing Guild.

This is the current balance state of Huangzhou Prefecture.

It can be said that the situation in Huangzhou Prefecture is different from Mianshui County, where two major guilds divided the county, both managed by the Darugachi Mansion and Yelu.

However, in Huangzhou Prefecture, each power supports a Jianghu Sect, competing for benefits with each other.

This includes the Young Prince of the Ruyang Royal Mansion, whose strength mainly lies in the two thousand Black Cavalry.

The East City’s Prefect Chu Tian’s strength mainly lies in the Hongjian Sect.
