The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 291, Who said she was stupid?
The royal family took the lead and joined forces with the five holy lands to discuss matters related to 'cultivators entering the capital'. Xue Xian, as the royal family's representative, originally thought that the matter would drag on for a long time, but he never expected that things would proceed so smoothly.

Without any back-and-forth confrontation or mutual shirking of responsibility, the five holy lands each offered specific solutions without him even having to speak. Most importantly, these solutions coincided with the responsibilities that the emperor wanted the five holy lands to undertake.

Xue Xian's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down. Although the matter of "cultivators entering the capital" was in the hands of the royal family, if the five holy lands did not actively cooperate, then he, as the person in charge, would be in a very difficult position.

He was truly overjoyed that the people from the five holy lands were cooperating so well.

Hua Changxi looked at Xue Xian: "I wonder what Lord Xue thinks of our proposal?"

Xue Xian smiled and said, "I think it's very good. Let's do it as everyone says. However, the amount of cultivation resources provided by the four holy lands of alchemy, formation, weapon, and talisman still needs to be determined first."

Hua Changxi glanced at Tong Yao and the other two, thought for a moment, and then looked at Xue Xian: "Then please provide us with a list of soldiers to maintain order in the capital, and then we will make a decision."

They can't just provide whatever resources the royal family asks for.

Xue Xian knew that it was almost impossible to make the four holy lands take the fall, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, I will send you the statistics of the troops used by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Five Cities Garrison, and the Six Doors later."

Hua Changxi stopped talking when she saw that he had agreed.

Xue Xian then smiled and looked at Chu Junling, Tong Yao, and the other two: "Do you gentlemen have any other opinions?"

Chu Junling spoke up: "Most of the people from the Five Cities Garrison and the Six Doors are martial artists, and even those who are cultivators have very low cultivation levels."

"Although the Embroidered Uniform Guard has strong members, their numbers are clearly insufficient to deal with the cultivators pouring in from all over the country."

"The five thousand demon-suppressing troops I have dispatched include five Nascent Soul cultivators, forty-five Core Formation cultivators, and the rest are all at the Qi Sea Realm. Overall, their strength is barely acceptable, but once they are scattered in different places, they can be easily defeated one by one."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhenzhen couldn't help but say, "When cultivators from other places come to the capital, conflict may be unavoidable. But General Chu just hinted that some cultivators might deliberately cause trouble. I think you're being a bit overly worried."

Chu Junling glanced at her but didn't argue with her: "This general is just trying to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. Here, it's just a possibility, but if the common people encounter it, it will be a catastrophic disaster."

Jingle was most concerned about the safety of the people, and nodded: "General Chu is right. May I ask what your opinion is?"

Chu Junling looked at the people present: "The four of you just dealt with the tiger demon. Your strength is superb, which has truly amazed me. I think that if the four of you were here, the people of the capital would be much safer."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changxi immediately became restless and glared at Chu Junling with hostility: "You want us to contribute both money and effort?"

Tong Yao and the other two also frowned.

Chu Junling's expression remained unchanged despite Hua Changxi's blunt question: "What I mean is that the four of you should make more appearances in the capital when you have free time, just to intimidate the villains."

There was a pause.

"Of course, so does this general."

Jing said, "General Chu's considerations are thorough." He then looked at Hua Changxi, Tong Yao, and Yan Zhenzhen, "The people's welfare is paramount. Why don't we each guard a city gate?"

Tong Yao was silent for a moment, then agreed.

Yan Zhenzhen was somewhat reluctant. Studying formations required a lot of time and energy, and she didn't want to waste too much time on mundane matters. But seeing that Tong Yao had agreed, she could only nod reluctantly.

When it was Hua Changxi's turn, he did not express his opinion.

Although they only appeared occasionally and didn't take up too much time, she still felt that Chu Junling was pushing his luck and using them to help the royal family stabilize the capital.

Jingle saw that Hua Changxi remained silent: "Benefactor Hua, this is also a form of training."

Tong Yao then laughed and said, "When you are successful, you should help others; when you are unsuccessful, you should cultivate yourself. What is the purpose of our cultivation? What is the purpose of gaining great strength?"

Hua Changxi glanced at the two of them: "Alright, the Medical Department is in the east of the city, so I'll spend more time around the east gate." Tong Yao: "Then I'll be in charge of the south gate."

Jingliao: "This humble monk is in charge of the West Gate."

Yan Zhenzhen: "I'm in charge of the North Gate."

Chu Junling watched the interaction between the four people, his gaze darkening. Hua Changxi was not only familiar with the successor of the Array Saint Sect, but also with the people of the Talisman Saint Pavilion and the Weapon Saint Palace.

Seeing Chu Junling's lips curl into a smile as he achieved his goal, Hua Changxi rolled his eyes and said, "I think it's a good opportunity to use the 'Cultivators Entering the Capital' event to change the unhealthy practices that existed in the capital."

Ok?
This remark successfully drew the attention of others.

Hua Changxi: "Whether it's the patrols of the Demon Suppression Army or the deterrence of high-ranking cultivators, they can only serve to nip problems in the bud. If we really want to ensure the stability of the capital, I think it would be better to establish rules that prohibit cultivators from fighting or flying in the city in the future."

"If any cultivator violates this rule, no matter who they are or what their status is, they will be expelled from the capital at best, and stripped of their cultivation at worst."

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

There are many cultivators in the capital, and it is not uncommon for fights to break out due to conflicts and disputes. Many of these incidents involve the sons of powerful and wealthy families.

The situation was even more serious when it came to flying in the air within the city. Only near the imperial palace and around the Heavenly Department would cultivators be somewhat restrained. In other areas of the capital, many cultivators came and went as freely as if they were in their own backyard.

Among them, the most domineering are undoubtedly the royal family members.

Chu Junling looked at Hua Changxi, his eyes narrowing. He could clearly sense that Hua Changxi was saying these things to him.

Hua Changxi felt Chu Junling's gaze, but ignored it and continued, "Of course, cultivators emphasize the importance of clear thinking. If someone is really angry because of a conflict, it's not right to prevent them from venting."

"I think it would be better to build more arenas in the city, so that anyone who wants to fight can go directly to the arena."

Jingle was the first to respond: "This humble monk thinks Benefactor Hua's idea is excellent. The old rules that the capital has been continuing are indeed somewhat outdated, and it is time to establish some new rules to restrain cultivators."

Tong Yao and Yan Zhenzhen also showed expressions of agreement.

Xue Xian glanced at Hua Changxi, Tong Yao, Yan Zhenzhen, and Jing Liao, then at Chu Junling. He noticed that the people from the four holy lands of alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman crafting, and array crafting seemed to be sticking together, while the eldest prince of the central holy land seemed to be ostracized by them.

"I will report the suggestions made by everyone to His Majesty."

Hua Changxi: "I haven't finished speaking yet."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xian's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Hua Changxi: "When cultivators enter the capital, we all have our own responsibilities. In order to clarify the scope of our duties, I think it would be better to publish them. That way, we won't have to worry about confusing our respective responsibilities."

Everyone understood Hua Changxi's meaning, and their expressions fluctuated.

Wu Liyun couldn't help but look at Hua Changxi. Who said that Hua Changxi was a muddle-headed person who wore his emotions on his sleeve and couldn't understand the situation?
She could tell that this person was clearly very shrewd, and every word he said had a clear purpose.

By disclosing their respective responsibilities, they are clearly trying to avoid being blamed for the negligence of others.

Of the royal family and the five holy lands, the royal family is undoubtedly the most prone to oversights. If the inspection is not carried out properly and the cultivators endanger the safety of the people, the royal family will certainly be criticized and blamed by the people.

Hua Changxi's move was clearly an attempt to distance herself from the royal family in order to avoid affecting her and the other three holy lands.
