This god is really evil

Chapter 307: Hundreds of religions rise up, taking advantage of others’ misfortune

Governor of Huaizhou!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned for a moment, unable to believe their ears.

In the territory of Da Qi, the governor of a state almost completely controls the military and political power of the state.

In terms of official position, the governor of a province is also a second-rank official, but he has more real power than the general of chariots and cavalry.

Li Yan was originally just a small seventh-rank county magistrate. This could not be considered a promotion of three levels, it was a promotion of thirteen levels!
All of Li Yan's subordinates present, including Niu Ma, showed a look of surprise at this moment.

Zhao Mengsheng, Zhao Qingshan and others, after being stunned, showed expressions of ecstasy.

At this time, they have already recognized Li Yan as their superior, and they are in the same boat with Li Yan. The higher Li Yan's promotion, the more they will naturally benefit.

Originally, in their opinion, Lord Li's promotion to county magistrate was already a great achievement, but they did not expect that he would directly become a provincial governor!
The governor of a state, a true second-rank official, was something that people could not even dream of before.

Li Yan has become successful. How could they, who have been clinging to him from the beginning, be wrong?

At the very least, he could be an official in the provincial government, which was much more prestigious than being an official in Qinghe County.

Situ Ming, who was standing by, was stunned and murmured:
"This... Lord Cao, are you mistaken? Although I have also written a secret letter to ask for merit for Li Yan, it is just... it is too easy to directly appoint him as a governor... Besides, what about Lord Yin, the former governor of Huaizhou? Will he be promoted to the capital?"

Being a second-rank general of chariots and cavalry was already outrageous enough, but then a secret letter suddenly came and appointed him as a governor of a province. What was going on?

Cao Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.
"Shao Siming, this is a different time. The world is changing so fast. There has been... a slight change in the world of our Great Qi... I believe Shao Siming will receive the news soon... As for the former governor of Huaizhou, Lord Yin, he has died in the battle... Huaizhou's capital, Huai'an City, was just conquered by the Church of Light yesterday..."

Huai'an City... was broken!? Situ Ming was stunned for a moment, not understanding what had happened.

As he was speaking, a fortune teller with a hurried look suddenly broke open the door of the yamen hall and rushed in. The man was slightly fat and was a talented fortune teller named Boyan who was on good terms with Situ Ming in the Fate Palace in the capital.

Situ Ming was startled when he saw the other party and asked:

"Boyan, why are you here? Did the master ask you to come?"

When Boyan saw Situ Ming, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly handed a secret letter to Situ Ming and said solemnly:
"Young Sima Ming, hundreds of religions have risen up in rebellion, and most of the thirty-two states have been destroyed. The Great Sima Ming asked me to bring people to take you back immediately a few days ago. I brought a hundred guards from the Palace of Life this time, which should be enough..."

Situ Ming suddenly widened his eyes, opened the secret letter and read it carefully. Cao Jian also came over, glanced at it and said:
"The situation described in the secret letter from the Great Siming is very similar to the secret decree of your Majesty... Please ask the Young Siming to return to the capital as soon as possible. Evil spirits are everywhere in the world. It is too dangerous for the Young Siming to stay outside..."

Hundreds of religions emerge!

At this moment, Situ Ming suddenly thought of what Li Yan had said before. He immediately turned to look at Li Yan, who was still smiling, and felt a chill in his heart.

Could it be that the rise of hundreds of religions was caused by Li Yan?

He then shook his head violently, dismissing the thought.

It's impossible. It's beyond imagination that Li Yan could suppress the White Lotus Sect. It's also impossible for him to control all the religions in the world.

However, the other party now seems to be taking advantage of the rare commodity and asking for a higher price. I think he must have learned about the chaos in the world through some channel.

Cao Jian looked at Li Yan again, bowed his hands and said respectfully:

"My Lord Governor, can you come with me to the capital now?"

In his opinion, Li Yan was just relying on his achievements to seek a higher position. Now that he was even given the title of a second-rank governor, he should be satisfied.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan in front of him shook his head slightly and said with a smile:

"Qingshan, tell Cao Gong what I said again."

Zhao Qingshan had originally felt somewhat timid and fearful when facing the eunuchs from the imperial palace. However, seeing them being humiliated in front of Li Yan, he immediately perked up and said with his head held high:
"My master said that if you don't give me a governor, don't even think about letting my master see the emperor!"

Then he shrank his head again and glanced at Li Yan. Seeing the encouraging look in his eyes, he straightened his chest and said proudly:
"Mr. Cao, please go back! The emperor is still waiting for you to report back."

Hearing this, Cao Jian was so angry that he was trembling all over. He didn't dare to look directly at Li Yan. He raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Qingshan and said:
"you you……"

Then he threw his sleeves, turned around and walked out the door. A voice came from afar:

"My Lord Governor, I will definitely tell His Majesty everything that happened in Qinghe County!"

Seeing that Cao Jian had already left, the fortune teller named Boyan hurriedly asked Situ Ming:
"Shao Siming, shall we return to the capital together? Da Siming is really worried about you... Besides, Huaizhou is not necessarily safe."

Situ Ming looked at Li Yan, who was still smiling and indifferent, then looked at Niu Ma beside him and said quickly:
"Brother Niu Ma, I will return to the capital now, and you should come with me. Lord Li is already the governor of the state, and there is no need for you to stay in Qinghe County..."

According to the information he had received before, Niu Ma belonged to the prime minister's party and was actually at odds with Li Yan. Now that Li Yan had suddenly risen to prominence and directly became a governor, Niu Ma would certainly not have a good time if he stayed.

The imperial court is in need of talents right now, and his savior is at least a warrior at the inner strong realm. If he comes to the capital, he can be entrusted with important tasks.

Niu Ma nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Shao Siming, for your support."

Having said that, he left the government hall without even looking at Li Yan.

Situ Ming hurriedly bowed to Li Yan, also without saying anything, and left with Niu Ma.

In his opinion, Li Yan was greedy and ignorant of his own life. He even dared to take advantage of the power of the court and really thought he was a rare treasure.

The world was in chaos, and the imperial court didn't even need to intervene. The Church of Light that occupied Huai'an City was enough to cause Li Yan a lot of trouble.

Naturally, there were capable people in the court. Li Yan was appointed as the governor of Huaizhou. Naturally, he had to lead the White Lotus Sect and other evil people to fight against those evil people from the Light Sect.

By then, the imperial court will reap the benefits, wouldn’t that be wonderful?

After figuring out the key points, Situ Ming felt his steps became lighter.

Seeing that Situ Ming and the others had already left, even Niu Ma had left with them, the White Lotus Saint Yi Lingxi frowned and said:

"Master Li..., what should we do?"

Li Yan smiled slightly and said:

"Of course, we should raise an army and head to Huai'an City to take over the position of governor first. The governor is right in front of us..."

Li Yan had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt his soul tremble, and a message from the Netherworld Prison suddenly appeared!
