At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 17: The Personal Guard Won by Lottery

soon.

The huge governor's mansion began to operate slowly.

Official documents were sent to each county. In addition to the local soldiers, each county had a certain number of soldiers.

There may be thousands as many as possible and hundreds as few as possible.

Originally, these soldiers were under the jurisdiction of local county governments.

But that was in the past. The current governor is Xiao Han, and a document with the governor's seal was sent down.

Although the counties were unwilling, they had to obediently send these soldiers to Xiliang.

They were all incorporated into the palace soldiers and followed in the training.

Lu Juxian serves as the prefect of Xiliang County.

As for the former county lieutenant Ma Dai, after he handed over his military power and completed his mission of making swords, he was sent to the governor's mansion by Xiao Han.

Although he still held the official position of county lieutenant, all he did was menial work.

Outside Xiliang City, the government army camp.

Lu Ju, together with generals including Liao Huan and Shi Qing, were training the government troops.

Of the five hundred elite soldiers brought from Yuyang, two hundred were left to garrison Xiliang City to serve as Xiao Han's personal guards.

The remaining three hundred men were incorporated into the provincial army and served as captains of thousands, centurions and other positions.

"Didn't you eat?"

"Everyone, give me some strength."

Lu Ju whipped a palace soldier with a whip, and the latter grimaced in pain.

"Look at what you look like."

He said disdainfully: "As a soldier of the Northern Army, I was bullied by a group of mixed tribes."

"What are the dry knives in your hands used for?"

"But that was in the past."

"Do you know who the current governor is?"

"know."

When Xiao Han's name was mentioned, the soldiers became excited.

"A few months ago, General Xiao led us to kill 50,000 Northern Wei cavalrymen in Yuyang."

"If any of you loses my face, the general's face, I will definitely make him regret coming into this world."

Lu Ju's voice was very loud, like a tiger's roar, making the ears of thousands of people in the parade grounds buzz.

"Follow the general, as long as you make military achievements, you will get benefits."

"But if anyone dares to be disloyal to the general, or is afraid to fight on the battlefield, don't blame me for not recognizing anyone with the sword in my hand."

"What should we do, soldiers of Xiliang?"

"Brave."

"What should I do, you barbarian?"

"kill."

"What should we do, Northern Wei barbarians?"

"kill."

"Sir Governor, what should we do?"

"Loyal."

The roars shook the sky.

Outside the camp, Xiao Han listened to the noise and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. It only took a few days to train the spirit of the Xiliang soldiers."

"Let's go."

Then he rode into the city with more than a hundred cavalrymen.

The 20,000 Yuyang Prefecture troops, which were the strongest among the Northern Prefecture troops, were also led by Xiao Han step by step.

He is very confident.

In Xiliang, he could bring out another army from Yuyang Prefecture.

No, that was the Xiliang cavalry which was even more ferocious than the Yuyang Prefecture Army.

Return to the governor's mansion.

The sky had darkened and a light rain began to fall again.

Miaoyu has already prepared dinner.

"Sir, why are you so late?"

When she saw Xiao Han coming in, she stepped forward and took off his cloak.

"I went to the camp outside the city for a walk."

After washing hands, Miaoyu brought a bowl of hot soup. After dinner, she took a bath and changed her clothes.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, his mind entered the system space.

[Whether to consume a random lottery opportunity. ]

"Yes."

[Ding, congratulations to the host, draw a character card. 】

"Name: Blood Shadow"

"Identity: Luowang's top assassin."

"Cultivation: Profound Realm"

"Weapon: One of the ancient weapons, the Bloodstain Sword." [Whether to unlock the character card, Blood Shadow.]

Xiao Han was delighted. He didn't expect that his luck would be so good this time and he actually drew another Luowang Killer Card.

Xueying's cultivation level should be similar to Ruoyan's.

There was no hesitation.

"Unlocked."

[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully unlocked the character card, Blood Shadow. ]

The system's voice disappeared, and then Xiao Han opened his eyes and a man appeared in the room.

A terrible murderous aura emanated from his entire body.

The murderous aura on Xiao Han gave people the feeling of a mountain, pressing them so hard that they couldn't breathe.

The blood shadow was like a poisonous snake.

Anyone who is targeted by him will be terrified and feel like a thorn in the back.

This is the difference between a general who charges into battle and a killer.

"Meet the master."

Blood Shadow knelt on one knee, holding in his hand the ancient weapon - the Bloodstain Sword.

He knew that the man in front of him could turn him into ashes with just a thought.

In front of Xiao Han, no one dared to show the slightest disrespect even though he was the most powerful killer in Luowang.

"From now on, you will stay by my side and be my personal bodyguard."

Xiao Han spoke.

With the cultivation level of Blood Shadow Finger Profound Realm, there are very few people in the world who want to break through his defense and get in front of him.

As for letting Blood Shadow enter Luowang, there is no need for this for the time being. Luowang does not lack a Blood Shadow.

And he just happened to be lacking a personal bodyguard.

"Thank you, Master."

Bloodshadow lowered his head.

"Uncle Zhou."

Xiao Han spoke.

The door opened and the white-haired Zhou Butler walked in: "Sir, what do you want me to do?"

"Take him down and arrange a place for him to stay."

"promise."

Xueying stood up and glanced at the slightly older Zhou Bo, with a slight fluctuation in his deep eyes.

From now on till the end.

He didn't even sense Zhou Bo's presence outside the door.

This is enough to show that the other party is a master, and his strength is likely above his own.

After the blood shadow left, the room returned to silence.

"Maybe we can extract the six sword slaves from Luowang in the future."

He muttered.

This kind of random card drawing has a small chance of being triggered only when you kill a master.

If you want to consume God of Killing Points in exchange for a chance to draw a card, you will have to consume a million God of Killing Points at a time.

Not cost-effective.

Very uneconomical.

After all, drawing cards means uncertainty, so it’s better to use them to improve your cultivation.

I extinguished the candle, lay on the bed, and began to think about my next move.

The cleansing during these days has successfully eliminated most of the unstable factors in Xiliang County.

Suppress one group and win over another.

Then he put his own people into various government offices.

Not to mention that Xiliang County is now omnipotent, at least no one dares to go against him openly.

The next thing to do is simple.

Recruit soldiers and train them.

Then they declared war on the Zahu tribe and seized territory.

We must build Xiliang into an iron barrel, accumulate strength, and wait for the time when the world is in chaos, so that we can take advantage of the situation.

The sky was slightly brightening.

The rain hasn't stopped yet and wisps of mist are swirling.

After breakfast.

Xiao Han, with traces of blood on his body, Zhuge Shou and two hundred soldiers from Yuyang Prefecture headed straight for Shangyuan County.

Zhuge Shou did not ask any questions about the sudden appearance of bloodstains.

But he could feel that this stern man in black was scary.

The journey was over a hundred miles. We set out in the morning and arrived at Shangyuan County at noon. Many people were busy working in the farmlands on both sides of the road.

Prepare for the fall harvest in advance.

For the people of Xiliang, the sooner the autumn harvest is completed, the better.

If you are slow and encounter the miscellaneous Hu cavalry who are looking for money, not only will you lose a year's work in vain, but you may also lose your life.
