The most difficult thing to deal with in the northwest region were the local northwest foreign tribes and the local martial arts forces.
The entire northwest region was vast, even larger than the Western Frontier. There were many foreign tribes and martial arts forces, large and small. The ancestors of those northwest foreign tribes actually had a powerful background.
In the past, the imperial dynasty suppressed the world. Whether it was the Northern Grassland or the 36 countries of the Western Region, they could only choose to surrender. There was only one price for not surrendering, and that was being exterminated.
These northwest foreign tribes were the descendants of those small countries that were destroyed in the era of the imperial dynasty.
At that time, the northwest region was a bitter and barren land. Even the imperial dynasty did not bother to rule it. Therefore, the descendants of those small countries came to the northwest region to take root and sprout, which had lasted until now.
These people were not from the Central Plains, nor were they from the Golden Horde Kingdom, nor were they from the 36 countries of the Western Region. Although their appearance was somewhat similar to the people of the Central Plains and the Golden Horde Kingdom, each foreign tribe had its own martial arts heritage and tradition. Therefore, they were incompatible with the imperial dynasty of the Central Plains and the Golden Horde Kingdom.
But at the same time, these northwestern tribes didn't have much ambition. In the past few years, they had always submitted to whoever was stronger. But at the same time, no matter who was in charge of the Northwest Path, they couldn't force them to do anything. Once you went too far, these northwestern tribes would unite and rebel.
Moreover, some of the experts of these northwest foreign tribes and some of the larger tribes had joined forces to build a Holy Land of Martial Arts at the top of the Great Snow Mountain in the northwest. All the warriors born in the northwest were qualified to enter and cultivate there.
Moreover, the Great Snow Mountain could even accept warriors from the Central Plains or the Golden Horde Kingdom. However, the conditions were much harsher, and they had to go through a lot of tests.
There were also many individual cultivators in the northwest region. Most of these individual cultivators were from the wilderness or had offended some big sects in the Central Plains. They came to the northwest region to make a living because they could not live there anymore.
Although these people were not the villains of Liangzhou, they were also arrogant and unruly people. Their joint forces were not so easy to deal with.
In the face of such a troublesome existence, the entire Zhou Kingdom had no intention of subduing it. Therefore, there was not even a branch of Six Fan School set up in the entire northwest region. Only some secret agents of the FBI were waiting here to gather information.
The same was true for the military. They had only arranged for an older warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm to serve as the general director of the army. There were not many warriors under his command, so it was all for show.
However, for Su Xin, the Northwest Path was the most suitable one.
Although this place was not stable, at least there were rules. It was not like the chaotic land of the Liangzhou Path, nor was it like the bitter cold and barren land of the Xijiang Path.
Most importantly, there was very little power in the imperial court here, almost none at all. This gave Su Xin a lot of autonomy.
Therefore, Su Xin directly said, "Your Majesty, then I will choose the Northwest Road."
Ji Yancheng thought for a moment, then said, "Very well, we will now issue a decree to bestow upon you the position of Northwest Military Governor. At the same time, we will bestow upon you the title of Blood God Marquis. Your fief will be in the Northwest Military Governor."
Currently, the Zhou Kingdom did not actually have the position of a Military Governor, but it had existed in the past.
When the Zhou Kingdom had just conquered the world, due to the instability of the 49 Paths, the Zhou Kingdom had sent strong warriors as Military Governors in some particularly serious places. Whether it was the military or the Six Doors, they were all under the command of one person to suppress the local forces.
Later, as the Zhou Kingdom gradually stabilized, the position of Military Governor was completely lost.
However, Su Xin was now one of the Four Great Super Arresters of the Six Doors. What kind of official position should he be sent to the Northwest Military Governor? The general director of the army? This was obviously not appropriate. The status of the Four Great Super Arresters was one level higher than that of the general director of the 49 Paths.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Ji Yancheng felt that he should find the position of Military Governor and throw it to Su Xin, indicating that he would be in charge of everything in the Northwest Military Governor.
As for the title of Blood God, it was also a name. It was for the sake of giving the Northwest Military Governor to Su Xin legitimately. Therefore, Ji Yancheng directly took two words from Su Xin's nickname, 'Blood Sword Divine Finger', and gave him the title of Blood God.
Right now, the Zhou Kingdom did not allow people with different surnames to be conferred the title of King. Otherwise, in terms of authority, Su Xin's current position would be similar to that of the Northwest King.
Of course, this also depended on how capable Su Xin was. If he could not gain a firm foothold in the Northwest Military Governor and was chased back to the Central Plains with his tail between his legs, then his so-called Northwest King would become a joke.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Having achieved his goal, Su Xin cupped his hands, turned, and left.
Ji Yancheng heaved a sigh of relief. Now that he had sent Su Xin away, did that mean that he had stabilized his position as the Emperor?
After being in a daze for a while, Ji Yancheng called Tang Xian over and wrote all of this on the imperial edict, announcing it to the world.
Seeing the contents of the imperial edict, Tang Xian could not help but sigh. He thought to himself that Su Xin was indeed not an ordinary person. He was already old, and his horizons were far from Su Xin's.
Tang Xian had always been relying on the power of the Zhou Kingdom's Emperor. As long as the Emperor was around, he would be the Chief of the Imperial Household.
On the other hand, Su Xin had never wanted to rely on the Emperor's power. Instead, he was developing in the direction of the military and the Six Doors.
Other people's power would always belong to them. Only things that were in one's control truly belonged to oneself.
It was just like the Six Doors and the military. After Ji Haodian died, they did not panic at all. No matter who the Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom was, the military was still the military, and the Six Doors was still the Six Doors.
As for Tang Xian, he had no backing and was in a constant state of anxiety. In the end, he even had to personally support a prince to succeed the throne. This was the difference between them.
Looking at Su Xin's current actions, it was clear that he was also heading in this direction.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, after the imperial edict was issued, the ancient martial art practitioners of the Zhou Kingdom immediately fell silent.
In general, the Heaven-Viewing Banquet was considered a setback for the Zhou Kingdom. However, who would have thought that the subsequent events would allow Su Xin to be in the limelight? Furthermore, he was the one who benefited in the end.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Su Xin's current status had already begun to transcend the Six Doors. The moment he advanced to the Yang God Realm, Su Xin might be able to develop the Shadow Guard into the fifth force in the Zhou Kingdom.
As for why Su Xin wanted to take over the northwest region as a fief, many people could not understand this. Some people even thought that this was a task that the imperial court had deliberately placed on Su Xin as a condition for him to establish the Shadow Guard.
After all, in the eyes of most people, the imperial court had originally been unable to control the northwest region. Now, they had thrown Su Xin in to let him suppress the northwest region. This was a laborious and thankless task.
After returning to the Six Doors, Tie Zhan directly called Su Xin over and said with a smile, "You've gained a lot this time. The imperial court has given you the treatment of the Shadow Guard, which is on the same level as the three field armies. However, why did you choose the northwest region? That place is not exactly a barren land, but it's very difficult to deal with. "
Tie Zhan was not dissatisfied with Su Xin's desire to break away from the Six Doors and establish the Shadow Guard. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Previously, Tie Zhan had planned to make Su Xin the successor of the Six Doors. In fact, he had always done so.
However, the only thing that Tie Zhan did not expect was that Su Xin's speed of growth was too fast, so fast that he almost caught up with him.
When Tie Zhan saw Su Xin fight at the Heaven-Watching Banquet, he knew that Su Xin was only half a step away from the Yang Spirit Realm. If he waited until the day he broke through to the Yang Spirit Realm, what could he do for him? Should he let him continue to be one of the Four Super Arresters or give him the position of chief of detectives?
Therefore, Tie Zhan was very conflicted. Even if Su Xin took the initiative to continue to be one of the Four Super Arresters, it would not be appropriate. Who could guarantee that Su Xin did not have any ideas?
Now that Su Xin had found a way out, this problem was solved.
In the Six Doors, he would be one of the Four Super Arresters. At the same time, he would be the general director of the Shadow Guard and the provincial governor of the northwest region. With these titles, even if he broke through to the Yang Spirit Realm, it would be enough to live up to his identity.
However, Tie Zhan's only regret was that Su Xin would not be able to take over the position of chief of detectives in the Six Doors.
After all, he had too many titles now. If he took over the position of chief of detectives in the Six Doors in the future, how much power would he have in the Zhou Kingdom? At that time, the other forces in the Zhou Kingdom would never allow Su Xin to do so.
However, it did not matter. After all, Su Xin still had to be one of the Four Super Arresters in the Six Doors. Moreover, he was from the Six Doors, so he had already been firmly branded with the brand of the Six Doors. If the Six Doors needed help in the future, Su Xin would have to help.
Su Xin smiled bitterly at Tie Zhan and said, "If I had the chance, of course, I would not choose a place like the northwest region.
However, Lord Tie, you also know that the imperial court will not give me those rich and populous places in the 49 Paths of the Zhou Kingdom in any case.
Therefore, I could only choose a big one from a small one. I chose the northwest region from a bunch of bitter and cold places as my base.
However, there are many Rogue Cultivators in the northwest region, so it is convenient to recruit people. This is also an advantage. "
Tie Zhan did not dwell on this issue. He did not come to Su Xin to ask about this matter.
"Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian have done too many stupid things, so I think they are not suitable to continue being the Four Super Arresters." Tie Zhan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
Su Xin, on the other hand, was not surprised. He had already expected this. Ji Yanxiu's position as the Crown Prince had been taken away. Naturally, Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian's positions as the Four Great Super Constables had come to an end.
They dared to openly join Ji Yanxiu and go against the Tie family. The Tie family would definitely not let them live. This matter was already a foregone conclusion.
Therefore, today, Tie Zhan only came to him for one thing. After Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian left, who would be the new Four Super Arresters?
