"Your Majesty, the old minister is narrow-minded."

Fan Zhongyan spoke solemnly, with a rare smile on his face. It was obvious that he had a misunderstanding of Zhou Chuan before. He only realized after seeing Xiao Feiya talks with Zhou Chuan.

Zhou Chuan didn't say anything, but just smiled and shook his head. Fan Zhongyan had no malice, but was loyal to him, so he was willing to act as a straight minister.

Of course, such a straight minister Zhou Chuan would not criticize him.

If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the officials below will be like the ones in power in the court.

With Fan Zhongyan’s example of the literati in the world, Zhou Chuan believes that the official atmosphere will only get better and better.

No matter what purpose Zhou Chuan was for, Fan Zhongyan would become the benchmark of civil officials of the Wuzhou Dynasty. Perhaps it would not be the only benchmark, but it would definitely be the most eye-catching one.

...

"Your Majesty, the Holy Church Local Branch of Canaan Mountain has sent a greeting. I want to invite His Majesty to visit the ceremony on their pilgrimage day."

On that day, Zhou Chuan was inspecting the army, with a majestic look on his eyes and glanced at every soldier.

A tall man standing next to him, with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, strong and handsome, and a long sword hanging around his waist. He was carefully examining the situation of each soldier.

Zhang Long had a serious expression and ran over in small steps. He frowned, bowed respectfully to Zhou Chuan, and reported to the report in a low voice.

He glanced at Yingzi's figure next to him, and it was very strange. Although this person seemed to have no cultivation, he always felt an unknown sense of oppression invisibly.

This feeling was only seen when Zhang Long saw this man a few days ago. Zhang Long understood that this person's cultivation was probably not lower than that of Commander Meng Yi.

Every time this man appears, Zhang Long is a little scared. This kind of oppression comes without reason, but it is pervasive, making people feel extremely uncomfortable all the time.

"good!"

After a while, Zhou Chuan looked at the darkness in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and then calmly took the golden post marked with the Holy Church logo in Zhang Long's hand.

After looking at it casually, Zhou Chuan shook his head and chuckled softly, "I didn't expect that the Holy Sect Local Branch finally couldn't sit still. This invitation must be to get some benefits from the Wuzhou Dynasty."

"What Your Majesty said is that this holy religion has always been a master who cannot get up early without profit. When the Wuzhou Dynasty encountered a crisis and wanted to ask them, it ignored it. Now when it saw the benefits, it wanted to lean on it."

Zhang Long responded respectfully in a soft voice.

Zhou Chuan nodded. How could he not understand the plan of the Canaan Mountain Holy Church Local Branch?

It’s just a pity that no matter how much they want to fight Wu Zhou, they are doomed to fail.

The only military generals that have truly revealed in the Wuzhou Dynasty are Meng Yi and Xu Da, but they don’t know that Zhou Yu is now. Zhou Yu’s cultivation can be said to be the top combat power of the Wuzhou Dynasty.

The cultivation level of a five-star military general is much higher than that of a five-star civil minister because of different focus. As a five-star military general, Zhou Yu is the first level of the Grand Master when he appears.

However, Zhou Yu was recruited recently, and the Canaan Mountain Holy Sect Local Branch must have no idea.

Not to mention, there is Zhou Chuan, who has a master-level cultivation level.

"Reply to the Holy Church, I will arrive on time on their pilgrimage day."

Zhou Chuan smiled slightly and said lightly that the Pilgrimage Day is an important day for the Canaan Mountain Holy Church Local Branch. On this day, all the intermediate dynasty kings who were settled in the Canaan Mountain Holy Church Local Branch will attend in person.

As for whether Zhou Chuan, an intermediate dynasty king who did not accept the local branch of the Canaan Mountain Holy Sect, would be in danger? Zhou Chuan didn't care at all.

Not to mention that he is a master-level cultivation, Zhou Chuan is no longer afraid of Zhou Yu alone.

The local branch is not the Southern branch, and the cultivation level of Hamapi who came to the original is nothing more than that.

What Zhou Chuan wanted to see was the intermediate dynasties, and wanted to know what the gap was between the Wu Zhou Dynasty and them.

"Yes, your Majesty!"

Zhang Long nodded and replied respectfully.

Although the Holy Sect is a huge monster in his heart, he believes in Zhou Chuan. Since His Majesty said this, it is because His Majesty's plan. When Zhang Long thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Yu.

I felt relieved again. With such mysterious characters, I thought there would be no surprises when I came here.

"Tell Fan Xiang that when I am away, everything will be decided by Fan Xiang." Zhou Chuan said to Zhang Long in a low voice, then turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu.

"Select five hundred elite soldiers and follow me to the local branch of the Holy Sect of Canaan Mountain, and meet various intermediate dynasties for a while."

"Abide by your order! Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu nodded and bent down, saluted slightly, and replied respectfully.

...

The local branch of the Canaan Mountain Holy Church cannot take the water route. It must cross the entire plain from the direction of Suoye City to Wanshou Mountain, and is also the junction of the borders of many dynasties.

The endless, lush and almost unrolled grasslands are everywhere. This is a paradise for nomadic peoples and a paradise for herbivorous monsters.

On this grassland, you can often see huge monsters wandering leisurely on the grassland, and you can also see herders grazing enthusiastic and hospitable.

This is also a rare pure land, which is not affected by the wars of any dynasty. Crossing this grassland, there is a majestic city standing under the mountains.

This city is supported by nomadic peoples, and it is also the only city that does not belong to any dynasty, or in other words, it is a city run by the Canaan Mountain Holy Church Local Branch.

The income of the nomadic people depends on this city, and all herders have their own storefront in this city.

Today is an unusual day. Herders drive a large number of cattle and sheep into the city. In the past few days, they need to slaughter more than 300,000 cattle and sheep.

Below the horizon, hundreds of figures, riding tall horses, and the flying flags attracted attention.

Many large monsters were frightened by the movement and fled everywhere, and the green mud grass was trampled on a new path by horse hooves.

The vast and mighty aura attracted the attention of pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate.

"Which intermediate dynasty is this? It actually has such an elite guard. Is it the Mobei Dynasty?"

A warrior stood at the city gate and asked in confusion.

"It shouldn't be. I almost knew the flags of intermediate dynasties in the past. This should be a new intermediate dynasty, right?"

A soldier guarding the city shook his head, looked at the mighty cavalry, and couldn't help but shrink his neck and said uncertainly.

"It seems that this year's pilgrimage day can sell thousands more cattle and sheep. Haha... Old man, I'll send more cattle and sheep into the city tomorrow."

Not far away, a herder who drove the flock of sheep laughed and looked delighted.

"Old man, you're going to get rich."

A familiar doorman quipped with a smile.

"Tomorrow, the old man will bring you some jerky meat, and the old man will go to the city first."
