After receiving a letter from Dingbei Hou, Jiang Xingchen was stunned again. He had never expected that the military headquarters would actually arrange for Beihou to take over the Sixth Army.

"What should I do if I do the territory? Who will manage it? Leave it to Sister Wanrou?" Jiang Xingchen murmured with the letter.

The old man said from the side: "Boy, you really need to look at the laws of the empire. If you serve as the commander of the legion, you must give up your territory... No family can occupy important positions in the Grand Lord and military headquarters at the same time."

"There is also this statement!" Jiang Xingchen frowned, his heart calmed down, and said, "In this way, will Hongyuan City not be under the jurisdiction of Dingbei Hou in the future?"

"Yes!" the old man nodded and asked, "Do you think there is no great lord willing to accept such an arrangement?"

"Yes, who is willing to give up the hard-built territory and lead troops to fight... The great lord is worried, how can he fight this battle?" Jiang Xingchen said.

"The lord is unwilling to do such a thing, and the royal family is even more unwilling to do it. No matter how a territory develops, it will be at most ten thousand city guards and ten thousand private soldiers, but a legion will be 150,000 regular troops! Therefore, except for the iron-core of the royal family, the emperor is also unwilling to see the great lord in charge of a legion!"

The old man took the letter from Jiang Xingchen and glanced at it, whispering: "The Emperor really trusts Dingbei Hou!"

Jiang Xingchen said: "It's not just trust, but the Dingbei Hou family is a small family, and only Sister Wanrou is the most important reason why the emperor chose the Marquis!"

The old man looked at Jiang Xingchen in surprise. Obviously he didn't expect that he could analyze such a result. He thought to himself: "This kid has really grown up. Although he was extremely smart in the past, he was vague about the general trend! But since his last plan of discord, he has been able to analyze and utilize the relationship..."

He secretly praised in his heart. The old man did not answer, but just sighed and remained silent.

Seeing the old man like this, Jiang Xingchen knew that he had made the right judgment and said to himself: "No wonder the Marquis moved his property to my territory. It turned out to be... wrong!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Xingchen was shocked: "This incident was a completely unexpected incident. How could Dingbei Hou have predicted the future... In addition, Xingchen Corps also belong to the scope of Hongyuan City. After the new lord takes over, I am also under the jurisdiction of others!"

With such a question, Jiang Xingchen told the old man to set off for Hongyuan City immediately, and even the Yuanshi he had studied was temporarily put down. This matter not only concerns Hongyuan City, but also the development of his own territory. He had to figure out his doubts.

The old man had already reached the seventh level of vitality. Once the speed was released, it was not slower than that of Xinniao. He only carried Jiang Xingchen himself, which was very relaxed. He crossed three hundred miles in less than two months, and the speed exceeded 75 kilometers per hour. The strong wind made it difficult for Jiang Xingchen to open his eyes.

In the Dingbei Marquis’ Mansion, Dingbei Marquis had been waiting here for a long time. After seeing Jiang Xingchen, he said directly: "Boy, you must take good care of Wanrou in the future!"

"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen straightened his eyes and complained in his heart: "You are in charge of the Sixth Legion, not to die. How can you say it is like separation from life and death!"

Dingbei Hou seemed to know Jiang Xingchen's thoughts and explained: "After I leave, Hongyuan City will be taken over by others sooner or later. I don't want Wanrou to be wronged in the process of the new lord's control of the territory... so he put her in your Xingchen Corps. Do you understand?"

Jiang Xingchen nodded, and then said solemnly: "Mr. Marquis, don't forget that my Xingchen Corps is also within the scope of Hongyuan City!"

Dingbei Hou smiled faintly, patted Jiang Xingchen on the shoulder and said, "The condition for my takeover of the regular legion is to tie Xingchen out of Hongyuan City!"

"What?" Jiang Xingchen and the old man both stared at Dingbei Hou in surprise. Xingchen led the plan, which means that Jiang Xingchen could have greater autonomy and freedom in the future, and the taxes were directly handed over to the empire, which saved a lot of money.

Perhaps Jiang Xingchen doesn't care about taxes, but being able to get rid of the jurisdiction of a new lord is the best news.

"Boy, don't be too happy too early. According to the imperial regulations, the viscount is not qualified to obtain direct territory! If you want to divide it out, you must at least get the earl..."

When Dingbei Hou said that, he gave Jiang Xingchen a basin of cold water and couldn't help but sigh: "No good thing is so easy to get!"

"Haha!" the old man laughed and said, "You are the second-class Viscount now. If you want to reach the Earl, you have to upgrade at least two levels... The title is more difficult to improve as the future!"

Dingbei Hou also smiled slightly and said, "Not only that, after I took charge of the Sixth Legion, Hongyuan City will be temporarily managed by the Empire. This period will not exceed three months at most... In other words, you cannot be promoted to an earl in three months. When the new lord is determined, it will be difficult for your Star Corps to be drawn out!"

"Three months, Earl!" Jiang Xingchen took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, that's it. If you have anything to do, go back and do it. You don't have to send me there. The military headquarters will come to pick me up directly!" said Dingbei Hou.

"Yeah!" Jiang Xingchen responded and was about to leave. But as soon as he turned around, he suddenly thought that there was still a doubt and stopped at his feet.

"Mr. Marquis, I am still a little puzzled... You were planning to move the industry to Xingchen a few months ago. A few days ago, you would move the two major restaurants there. Even more news that when Xingchen’s new construction is completed, you will go to the song, dance, and eat together..."

Listening to Jiang Xingchen's doubts, Dingbei Hou smiled: "Boy, you are stupid. Do you think I have known about the emergencies of the Sixth Legion for a long time... It is because the empire is going to establish the Eighth Legion, so I have already made me the commander of the Legion!"

"Eighth Legion!" Jiang Xingchen and the old man looked at each other, and then suddenly realized.

"The imperial defense system seems complete, but in fact there is an important loophole, which is that it is not mobile enough, and no defense point can be rescued anywhere else. Once it is broken through, it is likely to cause a complete defeat..." Dingbei Hou explained.

Since the last battle between the First Legion and the Tianyi Kingdom of Tang Chuxue, the Emperor and the Military Headquarters have paid attention to this issue. Therefore, they began to plan such an Eighth Legion, which was specifically responsible for rescue, and the commander of the Legion studied it for a long time before they decided to let Dingbei Hou take office.

After leaving Dingbei Hou Mansion, Jiang Xingchen returned to his home in Hongyuan City and carefully sorted out his thoughts. In recent times, there have been too many things.

After returning from Yueying Kingdom, he first had tight funds and sold grain. Then he solved the teahouse matters, and then helped Wei Ning fight the Tongyu Kingdom. After returning to his hometown, he learned about the failure of the second food festival and returned to his territory and opened up wasteland to plant tea. After finally succeeding, there was an emergency. At this moment, Dingbei Hou was transferred away. He had to upgrade two levels in three months to allow the Xingchen Territory to be independently drawn out and avoid being controlled by the new lord...

One by one, things were spinning in my mind like a lantern. Jiang Xingchen sorted it out bit by bit, thinking about what things he had to do.

"The tea leaves need protection. There are so many tea trees with vitality, no one can take care of it... Yuanshi is not in a hurry to study it, and I can't figure it out for a while. Anyway, I'm still busy with it... I can't be in a hurry to explore the compound force array. Based on past experience, I will have effect at some point... The new town will be three months long, so I'm not in a hurry... It's promoted to Count within three months. This is tight enough, I have to hurry up... But before that, let's go and see the commander of the Wei Ning Legion... By the way, I'm still on ten days to go and have my birthday, and Mei'er said she's going to come back..."

Jiang Xingchen sat alone in the yard, thought for a long time, suddenly raised his head and asked the old man: "Old guy, your Tang family has Tang Chuxue as the commander of the First Legion. Does the family still have territory now?"

The old man looked at Jiang Xingchen, smiled proudly, and said, "Our Tang family has no territory... But the lord of the territory is an affiliated family of our Tang family!"

Jiang Xingchen opened his mouth and stared at the old man for a while, and said in his heart: "I actually played behind the scenes. I went there. This old thing is really a bad thing. You can even think of such a method..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but secretly remember that he must have cultivated several trusted families. If a similar situation occurs in the future, he will also imitate the old man to play like this.

But soon, he suppressed this idea. The Tang family had survived in the Qiankun Empire for more than two hundred years. It can be said that they were the founding fathers. The forces were mixed and they were beyond imagination. They were not comparable to them! Isn’t it nonsense to cultivate a family of trust in just a few years? Just look at the Marquis of Dingbei, how could they develop in a small population?

"It's better to concentrate on developing my territory. I don't have the cultivation level, so the emperor can't transfer me to the army!"

He said intimately, Jiang Xingchen said to the old man who was still proud: "Let's go, let's go to the imperial capital and visit the commander of the Wei Ning Legion!"

"Boy, do you have a way to wake Wei Ning up?" The old man's eyes lit up.

"I have a nonsense. You are the great doctor, okay?" Jiang Xingchen gave the old man a blank look and said, "I just went to see the commander of the legion. I just fought side by side for only two days before such a thing happened to him. How could I not show up?"

"Tsk! You're still fighting side by side. Really, you're just doing something wrong!" The old man curled his lips.

"My second, this old guy is here to find fault again!" Jiang Xingchen's forehead veins leapt, pointing at the old man and cursed: "You are just a bracelet, I'm a crooked way! Okay, wait, I'll get some Kongming lanterns to your territory when I turn around... Woo ~"

Before Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, the old man covered his mouth and heard his angry voice in his ears: "Little Hundan, it's too poisonous all night. I'll just say to you, you'll go to my house to set fire. Is there any humanity... I'm sorry, I want to marry Chuxue girl to you. Is this his attitude towards her mother's family? Do you know how to respect the elderly, love the young and love your wife..."

"I'll take it!" Jiang Xingchen broke free from the old man's restraint and twitched his lips: "Damn it, you're not over yet. You really treat me as a son-in-law of the Tang family. If Tang Chuxue knows this, he won't kill me..."

While they were bickering here, in the imperial palace, the emperor had a gloomy face, looked at a man in black below, and asked in a cold voice: "Have you found out, who do they want to launch to compete for the position of commander of the Eighth Legion?"

"It's been found out that it's Fang Wuyou, the legitimate son of the Fang family!" said the man in black.

"Fang Wuyou!" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes!

"How is Wei Ning?" the emperor asked again.

"There is still no sign of awakening. Mr. Huangshi and Qingyun are doing their best to treat him!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and he didn't say anything anymore, and the hall fell into silence...

At this time, at the aristocratic management center, Yuan Xixuan and Yuan Hao were smiling, as if they had encountered such a great good thing!

"Hahahaha... Wei Ning was injured, which really gave us an excellent opportunity! Otherwise, Fang Wuyou would definitely not be able to compete for the position of the commander of the Eighth Army!" Yuan Hao said.

"Fang Wuyou activates Yuanquan at the age of ten, enters the Qi Condensation Realm at the age of sixteen, and is promoted to the Qi Condensation Realm at the age of twenty-eight. Now he is in his early thirties and is already a master of the second level of the Vitality. He is definitely a genius among the younger generation... It's a pity that Tang Chuxue came out, which made him unable to raise his head! This time, he finally found a chance!"

"At first, I didn't expect that the Emperor and the Marshal would push Dingbei Hou out, and I thought it would be impossible to fight. After all, Dingbei Hou's military achievements and experience were not comparable to Fang Wuyou. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen... Speaking of which, we have to thank Xuanyuan Tianzong!" Yuan Xixuan said.

"Yes!" Yuan Hao responded, and his smile gradually disappeared.

"Yuan Hao, you don't have to be jealous of Fang Wuyou. In terms of talent for cultivation, you are indeed inferior to him. However, you and him are not in the same direction of development, and we are all focused on cultivating this side!" Yuan Xixuan raised his hand and patted his son on the shoulder.

"Well! I know!" Yuan Hao's lips curled up again and said slowly: "Father, will our competition here have an impact on the front line of the Sixth Legion? I heard that the opponent's chariot crossbow is very powerful!"

"Haha! How could it have an impact? The Marquis of Dingbei took over and there were 10,000 imperial guards around the emperor... Don't forget, we are defenses. The opponent's chariot and crossbows are suitable for flat ground combat. It is not possible to attack cities and villages, so don't worry!"

With a smile, Yuan Xixuan patted Yuan Hao on the shoulder again and said, "This time we won the position of commander of the Eighth Army. We are not as passive as before. We always have to earn some benefits!"

Yuan Hao sighed regretfully and shook his head and said, "It's a pity that our family already has territory. The rest are not enough titles. Otherwise, Hongyuan City would be empty, and that would be a wealthy place..."

"Not necessarily. Although we don't have anyone, we must have been thinking about more people..." Yuan Xixuan's smile was always hanging on his face, and his smile became even brighter at this time.

"What my father means...I understand!" Yuan Hao's eyes shining.

The next morning, the old man who had been galloping for half a day and a night rushed to the imperial capital with Jiang Xingchen and headed straight to the north of the city, Mr. Huangshi's mansion.

Mr. Huang Shi and Mr. Qing Yun were both here. I heard that the old man and Jiang Xingchen arrived and came out at the same time. (To be continued...)
