Chapter 204: Visiting the Number One Person in Zhengyang County

"Sir, do you think we might have a chance to obtain a totem pattern?" On the side, Wen Liu could no longer hold back and spoke with a fist.

"Don't worry." Zhang Yuan turned his head, his eyes gleaming, "Help me find the place where the monsters are hiding near the county government."

"I want to blend the blood of the demon beast into cinnabar to see if it can have a different effect."

Monster!

The power of the monster's bloodline is unique. If you can really integrate its power, maybe your combat power will be increased!

Zhang Yuan's words made Wen Liu and others unable to hide their joy.

Zhang Yuan looked at Yu Zhentang and Hu Liucheng and said, "My Lords, have you ever thought about expanding the Black Ice Platform?"

Expansion?

Yu Zhentang and Hu Liucheng looked at each other and nodded.

In one county, there were only eight hundred Black Knights.

No matter how powerful these eight hundred black knights are, they will be exhausted if there is real unrest.

The Black Ice Platform in Zhengyang County had long considered expanding, but it was difficult to sustain the expansion in terms of both manpower and material resources.

"Are you talking about merging the Wuwei Yamen into the Supervisory Department?" Hu Liucheng said, "The Imperial City Supervisory Department has already planned this, and each county government can take control of the Wuwei Yamen at any time."

He looked at Zhang Yuan, smiled bitterly and said, "Unfortunately, none of the thirty-six counties of the Great Qin actually took action."

Why doesn't it move?
Because the gain outweighs the loss.

The Wuwei Yamen was separated in the first place because the Black Ice Platform lacked experts, and it was impossible to control or maintain the Wuwei Yamen.

Even the Black Ice Platform itself has to reduce its own staff, let alone maintain military guards?

Secret agent, black rider, martial arts priest.

These alone have put Black Ice Platform under tremendous pressure.

Of course, from Zhang Yuan's point of view, it was because there were not enough top masters, who were unable to control the overall situation and did not have enough material resources to invest.

At that time, the strong men of Black Ice Platform were killed or wounded while resisting the powerful enemy. The officials in the court took the opportunity to transfer all the mines and spiritual material production areas of Black Ice Platform to the Ministry of Revenue and the Imperial City Bureau.

In particular, the Armory and Equipment Department and the Equipment Refining Hall in the Black Ice Terrace were divided up by the Ministry of Revenue.

The Black Ice Platform has lost its own ability to generate revenue, and it is difficult to maintain its current scale by relying solely on funds allocated by the court.

No one in the three departments and six ministries of the imperial court, the Privy Council, or the Censorate wants to see the powerful Black Ice Platform.

It was precisely because of this that the Black Cavalry of Zhengyang County defeated 20,000 with only 800 men and killed the Grandmaster in battle, which caused endless waves in the entire Qin court and allowed all the people in the Black Ice Platform to regain the glory of the Black Cavalry.

"Commander Zhang, you are in charge of 500 guards at the Luyang Prefecture Military Guard Office." Yu Zhentang cast his gaze towards Zhang Yuan. "From what I know, your 500 guards are quite capable and obey orders."

"In fact, in the entire Zhengyang County, there are no more martial guards comparable to those in Luyang Prefecture."

Apart from Luyang Prefecture, which has recently become wealthy due to border trade, where else can have the financial resources to support five hundred armed guards?

Many government offices have only thirty to fifty armed guards.

There were only a dozen or twenty armed guards in the county government office, but their fighting power was weak and better than nothing.

Government officials from all sides wanted to pass the burden of the Wuwei to Heibingtai, but Heibingtai did not dare to accept it.

This is the current situation.

When Zhang Yuan mentioned the expansion of the Black Ice Platform, it wasn't that Yu Zhentang and the others didn't want to, but that they didn't dare.

"The last time I went to Guangling River, I saw that people from the Northern Yan Heavenly Demon Palace were able to penetrate the heart of the Great Qin." Zhang Yuan looked up, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness. "This is enough to show that the Great Qin's military preparations have been relaxed, and it also shows that the power of the Jianghu has been eroded."

Military preparations were lax.

The underworld has been infiltrated.

Zhang Yuan's words made everyone in the lobby feel ashamed.

As people from Black Ice Taichung, it is their ability and their responsibility to suppress the underworld and grasp the information.

"Commander Zhang." Yu Zhentang looked at Zhang Yuan with a serious expression.

"Although the Armor Commander is under the command of the Chief, he is in charge of an independent force."

"You have the power to independently manage the Black Cavalry, Black Armor, the merging of the Wuwei and the dispatching of the Dark Guards throughout Zhengyang County."

Onew and the others beside him looked up, surprise in their eyes.

They didn't expect that Yu Zhentang would delegate power to such an extent.

"Hu Tongzhi, you will hand over a copy of all the accounts of the Black Ice Platform in Zhengyang County to Commander Zhang later."

"Commander Zhang, you are free to withdraw all the money and treasure in the Black Ice Tower of Zhengyang County."

Taking a deep breath, Yu Zhentang looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "This is all the support I can give you."

Hu Liucheng turned his gaze to Yu Zhentang and nodded slightly.

He knew why Yu Zhentang did this. It was just a matter of mending the fence after the sheep had been lost.

The military ship of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue was nearly intercepted and capsized by people from the Northern Yan Tianyao Palace on the Guangling River.

This news should have reached the imperial city.

The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, the Censorate, and even the Imperial City Supervisory Office would not let this matter go.

As the head of the Zhengyang County Supervisory Office, it is still unknown what crimes Yu Zhentang will have to bear.

Losing office or being demoted are both minor punishments.

At this time, he handed over all power to Zhang Yuan, but it was just a last ditch effort.

Others may dare to touch Yu Zhentang, but they may not dare to touch Hei Hu.

Eight hundred defeated twenty thousand, and the master was killed in front of the battle. Black Tiger has become the face of the Black Ice Platform of the Qin Dynasty and a legend among the Black Cavalry.

"Okay." Zhang Yuan said simply.

Since Yu Zhentang has delegated his power, he can just do what he wants.

------------------

A hundred miles outside Zhengyang County.

Qingfeng Mountain.

Among the underworld forces in Zhengyang County, the main gate of the Yuhe Sword Sect, one of the three sects and four schools, is located here.

The Yuhe Sword Sect has a thousand disciples, including thirteen powerful people in the Xiantian realm.

The head of the sect, Qi Zhenghua, is a master in the late Xiantian realm. He cultivated the Yuhe sword technique to the great perfection level twenty years ago. He is the top figure in the entire Zhengyang County martial arts world.

At this time, in the main hall of the Yuhe Sword Sect, Qi Zhenghua, wearing a grey martial arts robe, a short beard and a golden crown, sat upright, with the elders and deacons of the sect on either side.

Qi Zhenghua was holding an invitation in his hand.

"I received an invitation from Zhang Qingyang, commander of the Black Ice Platform Armor Commander in Zhengyang County, inviting me to hunt monsters."

Qi Zhenghua raised the invitation in his hand, his face complicated: "What do you think, should I go?"

In the lobby, everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Qi Zhenghua turned his gaze to the thirty-year-old young man wearing a green martial arts robe sitting in the lower seat.

"Chen Xuan, that day when you helped slay the demon on the Guangling River, what did you see of this Lord Black Tiger?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the young man named Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan stood up and clasped his fists towards the crowd: "Master, fellow elders, I had the honor of participating in the demon-slaying on the river that day. What I saw and felt was truly deeply moving."

"Crossing the great river, the power of one person can calm the mountains and rivers. The combat power of this Lord Black Tiger is definitely at the Grandmaster level."

Grandmaster level combat power.

Chen Xuan's words caused silence in the hall.

In the entire Zhengyang County government, there is no one who is a martial arts grandmaster.

The only ones who can have the combat power of the Grandmaster level are the commander of the Red Scale Army, the lieutenant general of the garrison army, the chief priest of the county government, and the chief elder of the Yuanwu Gate, one of the three gates.

"Grandmaster-level combat power..." Qi Zhenghua looked at the invitation in his hand and narrowed his eyes.

"Gather the disciples. I want to select one hundred elite disciples to go down the mountain to help Master Black Tiger hunt monsters."

……

Fuhua Town is three hundred miles outside the county seat of Zhengyang County.

There are endless houses and a tall archway standing tall.

There are three large golden characters on the archway.

Yuanwu Gate.

"Sir, this is Yuanwu Gate."

"He Jinquan, the Grand Elder of Yuanwu Sect, is the most powerful person in the world of Zhengyang County."

"It is said that he has the combat power of a Grandmaster."

The middle-aged warrior who spoke turned his head and looked at the young man with a long sword hanging from his waist behind him.

As a secret agent of the Black Ice Platform stationed in Fuhua Town, if he had not seen the badge, he really would not have believed that the person in front of him was the commander of the Black Ice Platform's armor, Black Tiger.

　I overslept and sent it late. This is my fault.

　　By the way, I would like to recommend a book by a friend, Gao Wu: I Have a World of Mountains and Seas
