Chapter 545: Acting on behalf of Heaven, with different thoughts, there are many turtles in the shallow pool

It only took Hu Shichan two hours to capture Liuxing City without bloodshed.

Then Qi Sui’an put up a banner that read “Action on Behalf of Heaven”, quickly occupied the entire city and with the help of many disaster victims, took control of the situation.

After completion, the first thing to do is to open the warehouses, release grain and reward people according to their merits.

The origin of these things is naturally Liu Xingcheng.

After the matter was resolved, the indigenous people of Liuxing City were appeased and given some benefits.

Doing so is indeed a big problem in the short term. After all, the expenses are not spent out of thin air, but are all recorded in the accounts of Liuxing City.

But the effect is very good, and it was done in just one day.

Qi Sui’an’s contribution was not that great, it was mainly because the group of ambitious people under his command, whom he carefully selected, were capable enough.

Otherwise, if he relied on himself alone, even if he divided it into eight petals, it would not be enough.

As for the city lord Xiang Jin, he was also captured alive.

When he was captured, the other party was even waiting for the news that Hu Shichan had successfully killed Qi Sui’an, but he didn’t expect that he would directly turn against Tiangang and he became a prisoner.

Now he is sitting opposite Qi Sui’an, looking contented.

Xiang Jin was still relatively fearless. After all, he was an official appointed by the imperial court, and Qi Sui’an’s rebellion was still in the initial stage of concealment.

There is still a possibility of recovery now, but if we really kill him, it would be equivalent to tearing our relationship apart.

The process may be painful, but you don’t have to worry about your life.

“I, Xiang, have long heard of President Qi, the tiger-fighting hero.” Xiang Jin spoke first: “I know that everything President Qi did was for the people of Guiyun City.”

“But by doing this, you are discrediting the court and disregarding its reputation.”

“In my opinion, it’s better than that.”

“The court is unjust, and I am acting on behalf of Heaven.” Qi Sui’an interrupted the other party.

How could Qi Sui’an not know what he was going to say next? It was just words of surrender.

When Xiang Jin was interrupted like this, the uneasiness in his heart began to spread.

Qi Sui’an’s attitude clearly showed that he had directly taken up the banner of uprising.

The words “acting on behalf of heaven” are used to show that he is orthodox.

“I you.” Xiang Jin understood at this time that he must be going to sacrifice the flag: “Let my family go.”

“I am willing to cooperate.”

Things have come to this point, if I can’t save myself, I can only choose to save my family.

“The Xiang family is a big family in Liuxing City.” Qi Sui’an said calmly: “You have received the emperor’s grace, but you are doing evil things.”

“If I spare your life, will the people of Liuxing City be able to calm their resentment?”

Qi Sui’an’s words were actually biased. The Xiang family was not really guilty of such heinous crimes, but at this time everyone was pushing the family down.

It is true that he has a good reputation, but Qi Suian really gave benefits. People in Liuxing City only know that he has a good reputation, but how many people actually benefited directly from it?

If these people really speak up for justice, they will be regarded as outcasts and may even be beaten to death.

“You!!!” Xiang Jin stood up suddenly and stared at Qi Sui’an with eyes wide open.

But before he could take any further action, he was held down by two guards.

“Behead him, hang his head at the east gate, and state his crimes clearly.” Qi Sui’an said immediately.

The purpose of meeting Xiang Jin is to see if he is valuable.

It’s a pity that it has no value, so I’ll use it as a sacrifice.

Although he did not fully understand these things, he knew that since the favor had been bestowed, the power had to be taken into account as well.

Otherwise, if you only give him sweet treats, he will think he is easy to bully after a while.

“The imperial court will not let you go, and neither will the three major sects of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.” Xiang Jin cursed as he was dragged away.

However, the sound stopped abruptly in an instant.

It would be too troublesome to kill him at the execution ground, and the other party is still alive, so who knows what he might say.

Why not just drag him outside and chop him off with a knife? Just hang his head out.

The target of deterrence is not the lower-class people, but the middle and high-level personnel of Liuxing City.

After all, how many ordinary people have ever seen the city lord?

They don’t care who the city lord is, they only care about whether they can have enough food and clothing.

After the matter was handled, Hu Shichan came to see Qi Sui’an with a slightly tired look on his face.

It’s not just about taking over Liuxing City that’s tiring, but also about the follow-up.

In particular, he found that Qi Sui’an’s Shenwu Society was too complicated, with various factions crushing each other.

He didn’t know how Qi Sui’an managed to control the balance of the Shenwu Association and even hold on to power. It was simply unbelievable.

“What do you want to talk to me about?” Qi Sui’an asked.

“Chief, I’m wondering whether we should start training the troops.” Hu Shichan continued, “Although the members of the Shenwu Society are brave and strong, they are just ordinary people after all and have not received formal training.”

“So if you want to continue to develop the Shenwu Association, it’s best to select the elite from among them.”

“Can you?” Qi Sui’an asked again.

“I can’t, but I have a good friend who is good at training soldiers, and I’ll recommend him to the leader.” Hu Shichan didn’t want to join any faction. In his opinion, Qi Sui’an’s Shenwu Society was full of hidden dangers and would fall apart at the slightest opportunity.

So his idea was very simple, to get a piece of the pie and then start his own business.

As for usurping the throne, this is probably impossible, mainly because there are too many factions, and it is impossible to completely inherit power.

Instead, the key point is to use this opportunity to grow yourself.

In order to achieve this result, Hu Shichan must have his own faction.

It is not so easy to win over other people. After all, he is from Liuxing City, and the senior leaders of Shenwu Association are basically from Guiyun City.

The solution is very simple. Incorporate people from Liuxing City into the Shenwu Association to strengthen itself.

“The person is gone. I’ll leave the matter to you.” Qi Sui’an waved his hand boredly, indicating that he believed in him.

He even hoped that more trouble would come into the Shenwu Society.

The more chaos there is, the more balanced it is. Qi Sui’an has always followed this route.

Hu Shichan was delighted. He liked Qi Suian’s attitude of being a hands-off boss.

This way, he has the final say on the number of people.

By then, as long as he has control over the military power, he won’t have to worry about his power and status no matter how the Shenwu Society changes in the future.

“Yes, chief, I’ll take my leave first.” Hu Shichan said, and left without caring about his tiredness.

For him, time has become very precious, and he must seize this window of opportunity to allow his Liuxing City forces to gain a firm foothold in the Shenwu Association.

Qi Sui’an didn’t care, but was always observing his own fame.

Fame is accumulating very quickly, and it is even about to undergo a qualitative change.

Even the outline of the third realm has been outlined.

This outline was not created by Qi Sui’an, but the fame and momentum were deduced through the two realms of commoner and ranger created by Qi Sui’an.

Commonly known as heaven-granted.

Therefore, even if Qi Sui’an does not interfere, the third realm will be born.

“I gave you the foundation. No matter how you change later, it’s all under my control.”

“It seems that the Taoist world has noticed the sudden emergence of the fourth Taoist sequence.” Qi Sui’an was not too surprised.

Especially with so many celebrities gathered together, it is normal to attract the attention of the Taoist world.

Therefore, Qi Sui’an did not plan to create a third realm, but instead prepared to observe the development of the Taoist world.

It is indeed more in line with one’s wishes to deduce by oneself, but one can let the Taoist world deduce it, which is equivalent to Qi Suian observing the Taoist world.

When we take action tomorrow, we will be more confident.

“Once Liu Xingcheng and Shenwuhui stabilize, they should be able to break through to the third realm.” Qi Sui’an estimated the progress of the deduction.

Judging from the quality and quantity of his fame, if the third realm was not still in its infancy, he would have already broken through and would not be stuck in the second realm.

“The name of the third realm is hero?” Qi Sui’an read the data of the prototype of the third realm.

The name has already appeared, but the supernatural power is still constantly absorbing fame as a foundation to strengthen itself.

“It’s a magical power based on fame. Don’t tell me it’s an ability similar to charm.” Qi Sui’an was also a little unsure.

Because the magical power is still in the stage of absorbing nutrients and has not yet taken shape, it is just a seed, so how could he see it?

This is only possible if more power is used to deduce it.

But there is no way Qi Sui’an would divert his energy for such a small matter. It’s not like it can’t be accomplished, it just takes some time.
–
“That new guy, Hu Shichan, is really amazing. He actually took the military power from the leader.” Jiang Peng’s tone was full of dissatisfaction.

And his arch-enemy Feng Cai also looked unhappy.

There is a conflict between the two, but this conflict is in interests. Now that a third party has appeared to divide their interests, this naturally makes them give up their prejudices.

There are even vague signs of a merger of the two factions.

“It’s okay to just take away the military power, but he is trying to stuff Liu Xingcheng’s people into the Shenwu Association. This is even more complicated.”

“We must curb this situation as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.” Feng Cai saw it more thoroughly and gave a more in-depth analysis.

“I don’t know what the leader is thinking. Why would he just… Alas.” Jiang Peng was also helpless.

Qi Sui was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and they could not shake him at all.

“In that case, why don’t we unite as one?” Feng Cai’s eyes lit up: “The leader wants to support the Liuxing faction.”

“Then we in Guiyun Sect can only do our best to support you.”

Jiang Peng immediately understood what Feng Cai meant. This matter involved all the people from the Guiyun faction.

At this time, not only they have this idea, but other people must have similar ideas, they just need someone to act as a go-between.

“Brother Feng, you are good at networking, so I’ll leave this matter to you.” Jiang Peng said immediately.

“Of course, but I can’t do without your help, Brother Jiang.” Feng Cai couldn’t help but smile: “If I were alone, I wouldn’t be able to do this.”

“After all, Brother Jiang, your reputation in the Shenwu Association is second only to the leader. With you, this matter will naturally come to fruition.”

Feng Cai knew very well what Jiang Peng was thinking. It was just that he didn’t want to contribute. He would not let Jiang Peng get his wish.

Competition has always existed, but the intensity has decreased. After all, no one is willing to let go when it involves their own interests.
