These guards of honor were all disciples of Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace. Besides being tall and handsome, they were basically LV 9.
These 72 people were wearing golden armor, and even their heads and faces were covered by helmets. They were all holding standard weapons like spears, halberds, battle-axes, axes, and shields. They solemnly stood at the entrance of the hall, and an intimidating aura emanated from them.
With a sound "Hua...", at the sight of Zhang Tie and Elder Muen, all the guards of honor raised their arms at the same time as they raised their weapons to their chests. At the same time, most of them were stealthily glancing at Zhang Tie through the gaps of their helmets.
Now that these people could become the guards of honor of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province, of course, they knew who made the greatest meritorious deed in this competition among the elders. Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace finally won the competition from the hopeless situation and made the position of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province fall into Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace.
Elder Muen nodded. Without reporting anything, he had led Zhang Tie onto the jade stairs outside the Bright Palace and entered the Bright Palace.
The moment he approached the Bright Palace, Zhang Tie had felt a strange qi in the Bright Palace. The sound inside the Bright Palace could not be heard at all. After sensing it carefully, Zhang Tie found that the jade bricks in the Bright Palace faintly gave him a special feeling, which was completely opposite to that of the expensive alchemist's megaphone. The megaphone was used to spread out all the sound; however, the thing under the jade bricks was used to collect all the sound in this fixed space. Zhang Tie understood it at once, 'F * ck, that's too luxurious. In order to keep quiet and confidential, there's a super large alchemist's equipment under the ground of the Bright Hall. Zhang Tie could never imagine such a thing before.'
This was the regulation of the provincial governor's mansion in Taixia Country.
This Bright Palace was very large. After crossing the threshold and a screen wall, Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie entered a palace whose ceiling was higher than 50 m. On both sides of the palace, there were two rows of Hua chimes at the entrance.
After the chimes, there were some rows of huge weapon racks.
Not until he approached the huge weapon racks did Zhang Tie hear a voice from afar in the Bright Palace.
"... Cangshan Prefecture is very rich in mineral resources. Among the mineral resources that have been discovered in Youzhou Province, Cangshan Prefecture contains 1/3 of iron ore, 1/4 of coal mine, 1/2 of copper mine, 70% of crystal mine, 40% of gold mine and over 100 other kinds of mineral resources. Among the major clans in Youzhou Province, Lu Clan of Spiritualmaple Prefecture, Gu Clan of Donghe Prefecture, Sun Clan of Guide Prefecture and Guo Clan of Threespring Prefecture have their own interests in Cangshan Prefecture. Ouyang Clan is a local major clan in Cangshan Prefecture. They only have one knight in their clan. Therefore, they could not match the other clans. However, Ouyang Clan has controlled a lot of mineral resources in Cangshan Prefecture. Over these years, being squeezed by Lu Clan, Gu Clan, Sun Clan and Guo Clan, Ouyang Clan has been living a pretty hard life. This time, the head of Ouyang Clan and their elders are here to ask for the position of a master craftsman in Youzhou Province.
After passing through those rows of weapon racks, Zhang Tie saw Zhang Taixuan sitting solemnly behind a table in the distance while some clan deacons of Huaiyuan Palace in the official uniforms of the provincial governor's mansion were reporting to Zhang Taixuan.
At this moment, in the provincial governor's mansion, there were books, classics, music, guests, praises, treasures, clothes, ornaments, arms, food, medicine, medicine, etc., in the provincial governor's mansion. All of the positions in charge of managing affairs were transferred from the capable and reliable attendants of the clan. As soon as these people came, they gradually took control of the daily operations of the entire White Tiger Terrace and the Provincial Governor's Manor.
Zhang Tie threw a glance at the clan deacon who was talking and found that he was a bit familiar. Given his shrewd and capable look, Zhang Tie remembered that he had seen him in the rotating ceremony. Given his official uniform, Zhang Tie knew that he was the clerk of the provincial governor's mansion. Although these clan deacons were not as glorious as clan elders, they were also indispensable forces in a clan. Additionally, some of them were always independent figures.
At the sight of Elder Muen and Zhang Tie approaching here, Zhang Taixuan raised his hand, causing the clerk to stop at once. At the sight of Elder Muen and Zhang Tie coming towards them, they hurriedly bowed towards them. After that, they left silently without Zhang Taixuan's order.
Zhang Taixuan stood up as he revealed a smile...
"Clan head!" Zhang Tie opened his mouth as he bowed towards Zhang Taixuan as a clan elder without being arrogant at all. Closely after that, Zhang Tie raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Taixuan seriously for a short while.
At this moment, Zhang Taixuan was wearing the uniform of the Unicorn of Mountains and Rivers as the provincial governor of Taixia Country with a purple jade crown on his head. The mysterious rune of the seal of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province was faintly flashing between his eyebrows. Zhang Taixuan looked perfect.
Besides being much different than that 7 days ago, Zhang Tie also found that Zhang Taixuan's knight qi had also changed. 'I remember that Zhang Taixuan was just a black iron knight who is a bit more powerful than the demon general 7 days ago. How could I feel that Zhang Taixuan has become much taller and more powerful? Zhang Tie even felt stressed. Zhang Taixuan is totally different than that a few days ago, could it be...'
Seemingly having noticed Zhang Tie's dubious look, Elder Muen opened his mouth on one side, "According to the regulation of Taixia Country, earth knights could not participate in the competition for the position of provincial governor of a lower province which has just been promoted. Previously, clan head could have promoted to an earth knight 2 years ago; however, in order to win the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province, you always suppressed your realm. After winning the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province, you officially promoted to an earth knight. Not only clan head, but also Lu Dingzhi!"
Zhang Tie's heart raced slightly as he understood it at once, "Congratulations, clan head, for promoting to an earth knight and ruling Youzhou Province!"
"Elder Mushen, don't be so polite. Without Elder Mushen's help at the critical moment in the competition for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province, I would not be able to take this position!" Zhang Taixuan said with a smile. After that, he invited Zhang Tie and Elder Muen to take a seat with a genial and natural look. He looked gentler than before, "It seems that Elder Mushen has already fully absorbed the effect of the dragon-marrow liquor. Your battle strength has reached a higher level. That's a happy event for Huaiyuan Palace!"
No matter what Zhang Taixuan's current position was, Zhang Tie felt comfortable after hearing his words. Although being modest, Zhang Tie reminded himself inside, 'This man who could be the clan head of Huaiyuan Palace and the provincial governor of Youzhou Province is really something. If not, he might not have such a daughter like Lan Yunxi.'
As they were familiar with each other, Elder Muen straightforwardly expressed his intention to bring Zhang Tie here.
After hearing Elder Muen's words, before Zhang Tie opened his mouth, Zhang Taixuan had put it straight, "There's a very important position in Youzhou Province, which is difficult to appoint an outsider to take. I think it's suitable for Elder Mushen. You can take this position in Youzhou Province. You don't need to fight outside. Additionally, you could avoid your worries and fulfill your filial piety. Additionally, you need to take this position to deter the other major clans and knights in Youzhou Province. Besides Elder Mushen, I really could not find the second one.
I wonder whether Elder Mushen would like to accept this position? "After hearing Zhang Taixuan's words, Zhang Tie had known that the clan elders and Zhang Taixuan had long negotiated this position during the past few days when he was asleep. Elder Muen and Zhang Taixuan were performing a double act in front of Zhang Tie. After one of them revealed his intention, the other one immediately proposed a lot of words. Zhang Tie could not even refuse them. What else could Zhang Tie say?
"May I know your position?" Zhang Tie asked helplessly.
"Dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province!"
'Dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province? ' Zhang Tie was shocked. He had not imagined that Zhang Taixuan and the other elders of Huaiyuan Palace could assign such a position to him. The dean of the Provincial Court of Youzhou Province was in charge of the prisons, trials and judicial affairs across Youzhou Province. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a powerful position.
"I think Elder Muray is more suitable for this position." Zhang Tie hurriedly declined.
"As Youzhou Province has been established and the holy war broke out, military affairs are the top priority in Youzhou Province. I've already appointed Elder Muray as the commander-in-chief of Youzhou Province and responsible for establishing the new army of Youzhou Province. As Elder Muray has a heavy responsibility, he has no time to take this position!" Zhang Taixuan sighed.
"Elder Muyu and Elder Muen could also take this position?"
"Elder Muyu has to preside over Youzhou City from now on. As the hub of Youzhou Province, Youzhou City has to be guarded by a clan elder of Huaiyuan Palace. Besides taking care of Youzhou City, Elder Muyu has to be responsible for the imperial censor of Youzhou Province and assist me in ruling Youzhou Province. As the new prefectural governor of Yanghe Prefecture, Elder Muen has to preside over the foundation of Huaiyuan Palace. As for Elder Muyuan and Elder Muan, one is responsible for the position of Grand Chancellor of Youzhou Province, the other for the position of Agriculture Minister of Youzhou Province. As they are all important positions, they could not be entrusted to outsiders!"
Zhang Tie wanted to decline it. All of a sudden, he recalled his cheap master Zhao Yuan. After thinking for a short while, he slowly nodded...
'I really don't know whether the God is joking with me or not. The disciple of the No. 1 figure on the wanted list of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country has become the dean of the Provincial Court of Taixia Country... '
'I wonder whether they are officials or bandits. 'Zhang Tie asked himself silently...
