Snow: The Crown Prince of Chu, forced into marriage by the Minister of the Southern Palace with his

Moreover, this person is ruthless in his schemes and has great ambitions.

Xu Weixiong wanted to help Jiang Xuan seize the throne, which was exactly what he needed.

Then there's Chen Xiliang, who came from a poor family in Jiangnan. Jiang Xuan didn't know why he was here, but he was also taken in by Xu Weixiong and became his right-hand man.

Jiang Xuan finally understood that Xu Weixiong had a schemer by his side who was good at using vicious schemes.

Chen Xiliang was a Confucian and Taoist on the surface, but in reality practiced Legalist hegemony.

Both of them were people he needed.

So Jiang Xuan thought that since that was the case, he would reward Xu Weixiong today.

Chapter 101 Cao Changqing Travels a Thousand Miles to Meet, Gu Jiantang's Heart is Set on...

Sunset Valley.

Cao Changqing looked at the letter in his hand, a strange expression on his face.

He naturally knew what kind of talent Jiang Xuan, the crown prince of Western Chu, and his disciple possessed.

But what the other party did really shocked him.

From the very beginning at Shangyin Academy, when he learned that Jiang Xuan had written the greatest parallel prose of all time, he was only gratified.

He was already surprised when he learned about the philosophy of mind.

After all, Cao Changqing, who entered Taoism as a Confucian sage, was not an illiterate man who knew nothing.

He knew all too well the impact this philosophy of mind could have, especially on the literary circles of the Liyang Dynasty and the thinking of future generations of scholars—it would be like a bombardment.

And then there's Jiang Xuan's improvement in his cultivation level along the way.

Cao Changqing told Jiang Xuan from the beginning that there were several places he should never go and that he must be careful.

Among them was the Shangyin Academy.

Who knew that not only did he go, but he also turned the Shangyin Academy upside down and even sealed off its library.

For some reason, it is also associated with Xu Weixiong of the Northern Liang.

Jiang Xuan then annihilated Han Diaosi, the human-cat who was chasing him, making his name known throughout the martial arts world.

After all, the human-cat back then truly ravaged the entire martial arts world, killing countless people with heinous methods.

This is why when Jiang Xuan recaptured Xiangfan City, there were almost no martial arts figures causing trouble.

Because some people feel that this is something they owe Jiang Xuan.

It should be paid back.

Then Jiang Xuan went to Daxueping in Huishan and killed Xuanyuan Dapan, who had already entered the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

They gained the support of the Xuanyuan family.

Not long after he left Huishan, he broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and possessed the strength of a Grandmaster.

Cao Changqing knew that Jiang Xuan had obtained the true meaning of martial arts, and that for him, it would only take some time to gradually break through to the Finger Profound Realm.

However, he soon became a master of the Finger Profound Realm, and then immediately broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Grandmaster.

Cao Changqing was already surprised enough by this, but he never expected that he would become a terrestrial immortal.

Is breaking through a realm really that simple?

To know that he had reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal, one must know how much time had passed, how many detours he had taken, and how much hardship he had endured.

However, he couldn't see any problems with Jiang Xuan; it was as if everything had fallen into place naturally, and he broke through directly.

However, thinking about it, it's easy to see that whether it's facing the human-cat Han Diaosi, or Xuanyuan Dapan, or battling the Beiliang Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, the situation must be extremely dangerous, which proves that Jiang Xuan does indeed have such talent.

Cao Changqing thought to himself that Jiang Xuan was the chosen one and proof of the rise of the Great Chu.

He had been planning to help Jiang Xuan for a long time, but who knew that the chess pieces he gave Jiang Xuan were completely useless.

But this is good, it proves that Jiang Xuan doesn't need him at all, and there is no particular danger to him.

He can solve it all.

However, it seems that Jiang Xuan has finally found his teacher.

However, it was because managing Xiangfan City required manpower.

Cao Changqing entered Tai'an City several times, but he did not accomplish anything. At most, he told the world that Western Chu had not yet fallen.

However, within a few months of Jiang Xuan's birth, the whole world knew that there was a Crown Prince of the Great Chu in the Li Yang Dynasty.

Jiang Xuan was both a man of great talent and military prowess, and he controlled the city of Xiangfan, commanding an army of 300,000.

Whether in the literary world of Liyang or in the martial arts world, Jiang Xuan is highly respected.

Even among the common people, Jiang Xuan was very well-known.

This was a fatal blow to the status of the Li Yang Dynasty.

This is why the Li Yang royal family was in such a hurry to send Gu Jiantang to lead a large army to crush Xiangfan City.

Thinking of this, Cao Changqing took a deep breath, and without hesitation, he led a group of his trusted men toward Xiangfan City.

After all, from today onwards, their Great Chu has its own territory.

……

……

Liyang, the military tent of General Wuyang.

Gu Jiantang looked at the military report in his hand, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Because he never expected that Jiang Xuan would manage to resolve the internal situation of Xiangfan City so quickly and win over the hearts of the people.

If the original Xiangfan City was a combination of Qingzhou, several aristocratic families, and the Prince of Jing'an.

So the Xiangfan City now is Jiang Xuan's own Xiangfan City.

In the entire city of Xiangfan, almost all members of the organization were eliminated or purged, not to mention the Jing'an Prince and Zhao Gou's people.

Besides, all the aristocratic families in Xiangfan City who obeyed Jiang Xuan remained.

Those who disagreed were either exterminated or driven out of Xiangfan, and then their shops and various treasures were quickly taken over.

As for each time Jiang Xuan killed someone, he would generously spend money, such as handing over the land he had acquired to the people.

Land given away for free!

Isn't this just like giving away money?

Many powerful families in Liyang felt that Jiang Xuan had gone mad in his attempt to win over the people.

This is practically like moving a cake!

In fact, Xu Weixiong, Chen Xiliang, and others had also made suggestions about this matter, but Jiang Xuan rejected them.

He wanted to give up land so that the people could have enough to eat and wear.

Sure enough, the people of Great Chu were overjoyed.

It is said that when Jiang Xuan arrives, the clear sky will appear.

As for whether they knelt or not, Jiang Xuan didn't care.

After all, they've been kneeling for thousands of years; it's impossible for them to stand up directly.

However, we started by building schools, clinics, and porridge shops to ensure the basics were in place.

As for the rest, Jiang Xuan did not implement any major reforms, but let Xu Weixiong and the others continue with their work.

Whether it's murder or anything else, Jiang Xuan doesn't care.

After all, he was only doing these things as a hobby, and he also thought of a certain Brother Wang.

After all, he had finally managed to travel through time, but because of his sweeping reforms, he had transcended the scope of the Heavenly Dao, and was ultimately destroyed by the Heavenly Dao as the chosen one of the planes.

So Jiang Xuan became a hands-off manager again, and waited for Cao Changqing to arrive.

Gu Jiantang put down the military report in his hand and then let out a long sigh.

Although he did want to use this battle to completely establish his reputation.

After all, they were both Grand Pillars of State; Xu Xiao destroyed six states, while he destroyed two.

However, the world only knows Xu Xiao, the butcher, but not General Gu Jiantang.

His whole life, he wanted to surpass Xu Xiao.

However, since the war ended, Xu Xiao, as the only non-royal king of Liyang, was granted the fief of Beiliang and commanded 350,000 Beiliang troops. He was even jokingly referred to as the Second Emperor by people in the court.

And what about him?

Although he was appointed Minister of War, in charge of the army, what about his own men?

He was utterly defeated by the Li Yang royal family. If he hadn't been put to use this time, how could he have regained military power?

However, since there is a battle to be fought, we must thoroughly establish our reputation!

Therefore, Xiangfan City will surely fall!

Chapter 102 Changes in Xiangfan City, Zhao Heng's Fury

Jiang Xuan glanced at the letter in his hand, then chuckled and handed it to Xu Weixiong, who was sitting next to him.

"I never expected that General Gu Jiantang would pull such a stunt. This is quite interesting."

After taking the letter, Xu Weixiong casually tossed it aside, his expression indifferent and seemingly unconcerned: "We always have to say some tough words, don't we?"

"What's the use of making threats? It won't cost me a single soldier, nor will it make the city walls fall."

"If you also want to lower your price, this is a perfect excuse for you."

Jiang Xuan glanced at Xu Weixiong, whose words were always laced with barbs, and pulled him over, looking down into Xu Weixiong's eyes.

"Wei Xiong, even if you know my feelings for you, you can't always be so unrestrained."

"Uh... I didn't. What are you going to do?"
