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

Gu Jiantang also knew that in the current situation, there was no time to take things slowly or to make friends.

Such a large army could not be supported by Xiangfan City alone if they did not fight.

The main reason Zhao Heng was able to maintain his navy was the financial support from the imperial court.

However, Jiang Xuan has the Wang family, the richest family in Qingzhou, and the Xuanyuan family, which controls the waterways of the world.

You could say he has plenty of money, but to maintain an army, money is just the bare minimum.

Chapter 106 The "Hundred Bears" of Great Chu, the "King of Chu" of Great Chu

Jiang Xuan solved many problems, but the remaining issues were beyond his control.

With Xu Weixiong managing the entire city of Xiangfan, and Lu Xu and Chen Xiliang assisting her, there should be no problem.

The Wang family will handle the money, and the Xuanyuan family of Huishan can help with everything else, including transportation and communication.

Then there's Gu Jiantang. He betrayed Li Yang, but the network of connections he's controlled over the years can't be destroyed overnight.

Furthermore, with Xu Weixiong present, the situation wouldn't be handed over to her immediately. As long as she had a portion of it, along with the Fushuifang in Xu Weixiong's possession, it would be enough to stabilize the situation in Tai'an City.

Xu Weixiong originally thought that the intelligence network he controlled should at least have its own name.

So she thought and thought, but couldn't come up with a particularly good name.

After thinking about it, I decided to let Jiang Xuan name it.

Jiang Xuan's original plan was simple: the intelligence agency in Tai'an City would be called Zhao Gou, the one in Beiliang would be called Fushui Fang, and the one in Beimang would be called Zhu Wang.

Xu Weixiong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the name.

After all, this hardly qualifies as a name, and it also has serious drawbacks, so Xu Weixiong directly rejected it.

Xu Weixiong thought that he might as well just call him "Jiang Chu", just like Zhao Gou.

Jiang Xuan thought about it. This organization was established by Xu Weixiong, and it was a combination of several intelligence agencies.

After thinking it over, he decided to officially name the intelligence agency of the Great Chu "Hundred Bears".

Xu Weixiong was initially unwilling, since the intelligence agency didn't belong to her alone.

What would it mean if it were named after her?

Neither Zhao Gou, Fushui Fang, nor Zhu Wang were named after outsiders, which is unreasonable.

However, Jiang Xuan didn't care and made the decision directly.

After the establishment of "Bai Xiong", Xu Weixiong naturally added some members and began to cultivate his own people.

To be honest, she's been holding her breath for a while now because of what's been going on lately.

Although in Jiang Xuan's view, what she did could be considered a great help.

However, in Xu Weixiong's view, she did nothing.

Whether it was fighting battles, capturing Xiangfan City, or extending his reach to the entire Qingzhou, all of these were methods used by Jiang Xuan.

Although she threatened the powerful families of Qingzhou, such as the Wang and Lu families, she also contacted Huishan and cooperated and united with the entire Qingzhou.

But it was just a matter of taking over. If it were anyone else, whether it was Lu Xu or Chen Xiliang, they could have done it just as well, and they wouldn't have done it any worse than her.

Therefore, Xu Weixiong thought that he could help Jiang Xuan as much as possible.

Creating an intelligence agency exclusively for the Great Chu and Jiang Xuan, capable of gathering information from all sides, greatly helped him develop his influence in Xiangfan and Qingzhou.

This is the best gift Xu Weixiong can give Jiang Xuan at this stage.

Jiang Xuan was indeed quite happy, since once this matter was resolved, Xiangfan City would be able to maintain stability for a period of time.

Then he can set off for Longhu Mountain.

When Jiang Xuan left, Xu Weixiong, Yu Youwei, and even Pei Nanwei, the former Princess Jing'an, all had a heart-to-heart talk with him.

However, this conversation lasted for several days and nights.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan was quite strong and his physique was barely able to withstand it.

Otherwise, just Pei Nanwei alone would have made him walk out leaning against the wall and clutching his back.

Although in the end he still walked out with his back straight and a powerful stride.

But before he could even close his bedroom door, he immediately became listless.

Although Pei Nanwei was making sarcastic remarks, all three of them simultaneously clutched their lower backs and then exchanged glances.

In an instant, their eyes met, and all three blushed with embarrassment.

In the past few days, Jiang Xuan also did something significant: he killed Prince Jing'an, Zhao Heng.

However, it wasn't him who did it, but Gu Jiantang.

After all, although Gu Jiantang claimed to be breaking with Liyang and had surrendered with more than 200,000 troops, he still didn't have a proper title.

Therefore, he was beheaded in front of hundreds of thousands of civilians, the Qingzhou navy, and the Xiangfan army in Xiangfan City.

Now, even if Gu Jiantang wanted to betray his country in the future, he would never be able to return to Liyang.

After all, the Li Yang royal family would never let him go.

absolute.

When Jiang Xuan left, only Cao Changqing saw him off.

Xu Weixiong and the others originally wanted to see them off, but they were too weak to get up. Moreover, Jiang Xuan had already finished what he needed to do and what he needed to do beforehand.

Before leaving, Jiang Xuan glanced at Wang Chudong one last time, wandered around the various aristocratic families, and finally disappeared silently from Xiangfan.

Jiang Xuan originally didn't want to bring anyone along, after all, the journey was long, and there were some things that were inconvenient to do with someone.

However, neither Xu Weixiong nor Cao Changqing agreed.

After all, there was no intention to let him leave. Xiangfan City has just gotten back on track, and he is the master of Xiangfan City and the crown prince of the Great Chu.

He even directly took advantage of the terrain of Qingzhou and proclaimed himself "King of Chu".

Originally, Jiang Xuan did not intend to declare himself king when he only had Xiangfan City and had not yet taken control of the entire Qingzhou.

But in Xu Weixiong's view, some things need a legitimate reason to be done.

For example, his reasoning at the time was that the Prince of Jing'an was tyrannical, and the Crown Prince of Great Chu reclaimed Xiangfan to seek justice for the people of Great Chu.

Therefore, in the end, Prince Jing'an, Zhao Heng, was killed.

Cao Changqing had wanted to do this for a long time, after all, he was never afraid of Li Yang and was eager to make things bigger.

The bigger the better!

He even considered letting Jiang Xuan become emperor, the emperor of the Great Chu.

At that time, we will form alliances with Western Shu and have no fear of anyone.

However, Jiang Xuan and Xu Weixiong refused, as it seemed too hasty and could easily be used against them.

After all, their foundation is still too weak. Although they seem to have a lot of troops and all the things they have seem to have useful uses, allowing them to mediate between Liyang and Beiliang.

But in reality, if the other parties cooperate, or if someone goes all out to deal with them...

The current city of Xiangfan is simply no match for them.

Beneath the surface of Xiangfan's current strength lies a complex and bloated undercurrent of unrest.

They need more time.

The name of King Jiang Xuan of Chu could help them unite the people and quickly win over Xiangfan.

If it gets any bigger, then it will be dangerous.

Cao Changqing quickly figured it out, so Jiang Xuan took over as the King of Chu.

However, this King of Chu did not perform the Fengshan ceremony or make a grand display.

And so, he became the king of the Great Chu.

Chapter 107 Xuan Yuan Qingfeng's Thoughts, What is the Empress's Reality?

Jiang Xuan left Xiangfan City, but he didn't leave empty-handed.

The person standing next to him was Shu Xiu.

Although the opponent only possesses the strength of the Finger Profound Realm, he is still considered quite good in the martial arts world.

In addition, with his dual identity now different, he can no longer be a lone wolf as before, and he can't do everything himself anymore.

Shu Xiu was shrewd. Although she had originally been a member of Beiliang, she was ultimately driven by self-interest.

Jiang Xuan could give her those things, and after being disciplined by Xu Weixiong, it was impossible for Shu Xiu to disobey.

And so, the two of them and the donkey set off towards Longhu Mountain.

Jiang Xuan had planned to meet Hehe Girl before leaving.

Unexpectedly, she wasn't in those places, so Jiang Xuan didn't continue searching. He left a note and left.

Jiang Xuan and his companion were not moving very fast, but they did not hide their identities.

After all, Xiangfan City at this time was like a winnowing basket; even with layers of screening, all sorts of small things still managed to get in.

It was impossible to keep Jiang Xuan's departure from Xiangfan City a secret from anyone, and they had no intention of hiding it.

To others, it looked like they were subduing the various families in Qingzhou and finally arriving at the Xuanyuan family of Huishan.

Many people could probably guess his route, but they didn't know that his ultimate destination was Longhu Mountain.

As for those people in the martial arts world who wanted to cause him trouble, Jiang Xuan was truly not afraid.

If no one comes, he might even feel a little lonely.

……

……

Huishan Mountain, Wending Pavilion.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng looked at the secret letter in his hand, a look of surprise on his face.
