458 Go Sweep the Streets (2/2)
On the viewing platform at this moment, that silver armored teen was stunned.
Zong Shou removing this meeting hall, those nobles in the city all wanted to stop him wasn't surprising. With power in their hands, they won't return it so easily.
However, that scholar known as Xushu who spoke, his words caused waves to rise in her heart.
This meeting hall idea was the same as the ancient saint emperor system? How is that possible?
This person was from the Confucian path so how could he say such outrageous words?
Looking at this place, be it those participants or those listening on were genuinely respectful towards the monster king, they weren't faking it at all.
She couldn't help but look towards Zong Shou and at the 2 eggshells on his head. His image was a little amusing.
And also those Qianxue and Fanghui cities. She also heard from others that they were in large cities. The city lord had so much strength and held huge power.
At this moment they were dying to be under Gantian Mountain to be under him.
If it was their Great Shang, then it wasn't much. But this Gantian Mountain was just a small country. In her eyes, it was shaking in a storm and could be destroyed at any moment, which made her not understand.
The silver armored teen-only felt a layer of thick mist around this teen which she couldn't see through.
Thinking about it carefully for a moment, she scoffed coldly, ”Although he is a preposterous ruler, the people love him. He can be used…”

Right after walking out of the meeting hall, Zong Shou returned to the Hanyan Palace on the Gantian peak. He washed himself up totally, feeling extremely refreshed. Then, he brought Renbo and Chuxue and headed north of the city.
120 miles out of the city was a giant camp that occupied 300 miles of space. It wrapped up an entire mountain hill range in the area.
It had extremely tight defenses, a full 400 thousand troops were housed here. To say that it was guard every 10 steps, 1 sentry every 5 wasn't too exaggerated.
Zong Shou just arrived and there were tens of martial path intent that shot out from within. When they realized that it was Zong Shou, they retreated. Then, the gates of the camp opened up swiftly.
A group of soldiers lined up in an orderly manner to welcome him within. The one at the helm was the left pillar general Qiuwei, behind him followed ten over commander grade generals which were all at the Xuanwu ancestor level.
Zong Shou's eyes lit up. Qiuwei was good at managing the army.
Who knew how high these troops ranked in the Gantian army. Anyways they were stronger than the troops who were under Han King.
After greeting Qiuwei, the 10 over people headed towards the core area of the camp.
Zong Shou drove the horse to travel swiftly as he looked around. As expected from the general who followed Zong Weiran, winning all wars. This camp arrangement was logical.
He couldn't help but look at the side, smiling towards Qiuwei, ”Uncle Qiu, how many same standard army towns does our Gantian City have?”
Qiuwei's expression turned serious and he shook his head, ”The 40 towns here are the weakest! The true strong troops are at the border. Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain have recovered their strength. With Thousand City Alliance and the sects supporting them, they are all tempted to move. 3 days ago there were 10 over conflicts at the border. Our Gantian Mountain has to go all out to handle them!”
Zong Shou's brows furrowed, thinking to himself that it happened so quick! Then Qiuwei continued, ”In my opinion, it is best to add 40 ten thousand men towns to deal with them. Prime minister Renbo had told me that we just need to take in less direct jurisdiction cities and we could support it!”
Zong Shou was startled, looking towards Renbo once more. Only to see the latter was calm, having no expression at all. He couldn't help but shake his head, they even have a motive now. The mastermind behind the fight in the meeting hall was him!
”Let me think about it!”
40 towns, not only needed 400 elite martial masters, but it also needed relevant equipment which would spend huge amounts.
Zong Shou didn't agree nor disagree with it. He was looking forward, at the place where the blood cloud cavalry was hiding when suddenly a person appeared who blocked ahead of him.
”Qiaohan?”
Zong Shou was startled as he looked towards Renbo with a questioning gaze. Only to see the latter laugh helplessly, ”Close to 30% of the weapons and armor we purchase in the dark are from Kongqi Sect. We need a favor from them so naturally, we can't stop him from entering this place. We can only try to not let him touch that important area…”
The so called important area was naturally where the blood cloud cavalry was at. Zong Shou nodded his head, however just as he moved forward he heard Qiaohan laugh coldly, ”Ruler you rushed over here to see the blood cloud cavalry?”
