Situ Xing and Fang Hua were both old foxes of the Guanzhong torture room. If they did not provoke Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu would not move against them. Otherwise, if he really killed everyone, who would work for him?
But Chu Xiu could not be at ease using these two people. His own people had to occupy the majority.
Chu Xiu said gravely, "The prefectures that were previously in Wei Changling's hands are now under Yang Ling's jurisdiction."
It could be said that Yang Ling had put in a lot of effort in this matter and also proved his loyalty to Chu Xiu. This prefecture was what Yang Ling deserved.
Although Yang Ling's strength was not great, he was clever and capable. He had been at Wei Jiuduan's beck and call for so many years to help him deal with some chores. Everything was done in an orderly manner. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to stay by Wei Jiuduan's side for so long.
Hearing this, Yang Ling immediately stood up and bowed to Chu Xiu. "Thank you, Official!"
His thanks were sincere. From this, it was possible to see the difference between Chu Xiu and Wei Jiuduan.
In the past, he had followed Wei Jiuduan for so many years, but Wei Jiuduan only promised him a pile of empty promises and nothing practical.
Even Wei Jiuduan's famous Dragon Chasing Hand, until his death, he did not pass any to Yang Ling.
After following Chu Xiu, he managed to obtain two prefectures in succession. Although it was a little dangerous, the benefits he gained were huge.
Chu Xiu continued. "Jiang Taoran temporarily cannot be the inspector. The two prefectures under his command will be separated and managed by the Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong."
The Ghost Hand King and Du Guangzhong had always been the ones who dealt with the most matters under Chu Xiu's command. While these two were not the strongest in martial arts, their overall abilities were the highest.
"Also, Tang Ya will take the position of Jianzhou's Inspector."
Among Chu Xiu's subordinates, Tang Ya and Yan Bu Gui's strength were basically the strongest. However, Chu Xiu could feel that Tang Ya's strength should not be limited to just this much. He was hiding his true strength, and he had not used his trump card yet.
Chu Xiu didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy. With Tang Ya's strength, he was worthy of this position.
Logically speaking, Yan Bugui's strength was more than enough to be an inspector. He was currently in seclusion, and once he came out, he would be an expert in the Three Flower Realm.
But with Yan Bu Gui's personality, he could kill people, but he could forget about being a Patrol Inspector.
After all the rewards were given, there were six inspectors in the entire Guanxi area, and four of them were Chu Xiu's trusted subordinates. Compared to Wei Jiuduan, the current Chu Xiu could be considered to have real control over the entire Guanxi area.
Chu Xiu looked around at the people around him and said in a cold tone, "Right now, the Guanxi area is facing internal and external troubles. I've said before that to deal with external problems, we must first settle the internal problems. Now that the internal problems have been solved, it's time to deal with the external problems. For the next few days, sort out the forces in your hands, and finally, gather together and solve all the problems in one go!"
Everyone present was shocked. If the Guanxi area wanted true peace, there would probably be a lot of killing.
Chu Xiu's actions in the Punishment Hall branch had no impact on the martial arts forces in the Guanxi area. These were all internal adjustments of the Guanxi branch, and it did not involve the Jianghu forces.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Zhang Family and the other Jianghu forces, during this period of time, Chu Xiu should be stabilizing his strength and working hard to digest the power of Wei Jiuduan, the former Punishment Hall Master. He should not cause trouble for them for the time being.
Therefore, after a few days, the Zhang Family began to prepare for the 188th birthday of the Zhang Family's Great Ancestor, Zhang Wanshan.
In the Jianghu, generally, except for the older or highly respected Jianghu seniors, the martial artists of some sects and aristocratic families actually rarely celebrated their birthdays.
Martial artists who had reached the Oneness of Heaven and Man Realm had a lifespan of 200 years. If they celebrated every birthday, what would it be like? It was as if they were deliberately asking others for birthday gifts.
Therefore, most martial artists would only hold a birthday celebration when their lifespan was almost up, but they still had a certain amount of combat power.
This year, Zhang Wanshan happened to be 188 years old, which was an auspicious number. In addition, he was not so old that his Qi and blood had completely declined to the point that he could not fight anymore. Therefore, it was very normal to hold a birthday celebration.
Of course, part of the reason why the Zhang Family held this birthday celebration was because they were forced by Chu Xiu.
Previously, when Chu Xiu was promoted to the Punishment Hall Master, the Zhang Family kept a low profile and did not dare to cause trouble again. This caused the Zhang Family's prestige to plummet.
This time, the Zhang Family held a birthday celebration and invited all the Jianghu forces in Guanxi. They wanted to show them that although the Zhang Family had retreated in front of Chu Xiu, it was also because of Chu Xiu's identity. The Zhang Family was not worried about Chu Xiu, but the Guanzhong Torture Room.
Now that the Wei Family had been destroyed, the Zhang Family had become the number one clan in Guanxi in name and in reality. The Zhang Family could admit defeat and retreat in front of Chu Xiu, but compared to the other Jianghu forces in Guanxi, they could only look up to them.
Three days later, it was the time when Zhang Wanshan's birthday celebration officially began. Jiuyuan Prefecture was bustling with people from the martial arts world who came to attend Zhang Wanshan's birthday celebration.
The Wei Family had been destroyed, and the Zhang Family was now the strongest Jianghu force in Guanxi. Since the Zhang Family had personally sent out an invitation, no Jianghu force in Guanxi dared to refuse.
As for the rest of the rogue martial artists, most of them were there to watch the fun. Of course, there were also some who wanted to mingle with the crowd and make some connections.
At this time, in a restaurant in the east of Jiuyuan Prefecture, a young martial artist who was less than 20 years old was playing with a wine glass with a bored look on his face.
Although this young man was less than 20 years old, he already had the cultivation of the Innate Realm. Even in the Jianghu, reaching this level at this age was considered fast.
A middle-aged man in the Physical Invulnerability Realm beside him frowned and said, "Young Master, the Patriarch's birthday celebration is about to begin at noon. Aren't you going back now? Has the Patriarch's birthday gift been prepared? "
This young man was the most favored disciple of the Zhang Family's younger generation, Zhang Donglai. He was not a descendant of Zhang Kunze, but his talent was the most outstanding. Zhang Wanshan had liked him since he was young.
When he was young, when the other young disciples of the Zhang Family trembled in front of Zhang Wanshan and did not dare to speak, he was the only one who could sit on Zhang Wanshan's lap and call out to the Patriarch like a spoiled child.
As Zhang Donglai grew older, his talent became more and more outstanding. Although he was a little lazy and hedonistic, Zhang Wanshan was extremely satisfied with him. In fact, if he was not afraid that the family head, Zhang Kunze, would be displeased, Zhang Wanshan would have made Zhang Donglai the successor of the family head.
When he heard the middle-aged martial artist's words, Zhang Donglai said lazily, "What's the rush? Even if I go after the birthday celebration, the Patriarch will not reprimand me."
Seeing Zhang Donglai's lazy look, the middle-aged martial artist could not help but say anxiously, "Young Master, the other young masters are racking their brains to give the Patriarch a satisfactory gift to win his favor. If you take your time here, what if the others steal the limelight?"
Zhang Donglai said disdainfully, "Just based on those few pieces of trash, they want to steal my limelight? Uncle Kun, don't worry. Even if I don't give anything, the Patriarch will still dote on me the most. "
Seeing that Uncle Kun still wanted to nag, Zhang Donglai hurriedly said, "Alright, Uncle Kun, don't say anymore. I already have an idea for a birthday gift.
The Lingzhou Prefecture's Chen Family recently obtained a cold jade dagger. I heard that they are preparing to offer it to the Patriarch in exchange for our Zhang Family's support.
I intend to ask for that cold jade dagger as a congratulatory gift to the Patriarch. "
Uncle Kun hesitated and said, "But Young Master, that cold jade dagger is very precious. The Chen Family still wants to use this opportunity to show off. Will they give it to you?"
Zhang Donglai sneered and said, "Won't give? If the Chen Family doesn't give, I just need to say a few bad words in front of the Patriarch and the Chen Family will suffer the consequences!
I want to see whether the cold jade dagger is more important in the Patriarch's heart, or I, Zhang Donglai, am more important in front of the Patriarch.
If the Chen Family knows their place, I don't mind putting in a few good words for them afterwards. Otherwise, I will have the Chen Family give this gift for nothing! "
At this time, a clapping sound came from downstairs. Tang Ya clapped his hands and sighed, "Young Master Zhang really knows how to play. You snatched someone else's gift for your ancestor and gave it to him as your own. Is this what you call offering Buddha with borrowed flowers? No, it is more like offering Patriarch with borrowed flowers. That old thing, Zhang Wanshan, is not qualified to become Buddha. "
Hearing this, Uncle Kun and Zhang Donglai's expressions changed.
Zhang Donglai shouted, "How dare you! Who are you? "
Tang Ya said slowly, "I am Tang Ya, the new Jianzhou Prefecture's Inspector. Coincidentally, my master is also preparing to attend Zhang Wanshan's birthday banquet, so I came to borrow something from Young Master Zhang as a gift."
Uncle Kun's expression suddenly changed. Of course he knew who Tang Ya was. That was a vicious dog under Chu Xiu, and a terrifyingly powerful one at that. Wei Changling had died at his hands!
But Zhang Donglai did not react. He subconsciously asked, "What do you want to borrow?"
Tang Ya still had a lazy smile on his face, but his words were hair-raising. "I want to borrow Young Master Zhang's head as a gift!"
"Young Master, run!"
Uncle Kun immediately acted. He pulled Zhang Donglai and tried to escape. Unfortunately, in front of Tang Ya's speed, it was a joke for them to escape.
The two Dragon Tail Soul-Chasing Darts flashed in a strange arc as they slashed towards Uncle Kun, instantly tearing apart his protective aura. Uncle Kun used almost all his strength to chop off the two Dragon Tail Soul-Chasing Darts.
But before he could heave a sigh of relief, his figure suddenly stopped moving while a wisp of disbelief appeared in his eyes. A Dragontail Soulchasing Dart had pierced through his back without him noticing!
Tang Ya's figure moved and appeared in front of Zhang Donglai in an instant.
Zhang Donglai's eyes flashed with terror. He shouted, "Don't kill me! I am from the Zhang Family … "
Before he could finish his words, Tang Ya slashed a dagger across his neck, instantly cutting off his head and putting it into a brocade box without any trace of blood on it.
Closing the box, Tang Ya's lips curved into a lazy smile. "The gift is in hand. Perfect!"
