Chapter 86: The New Official Takes Office and Burns Fire for Two Watches Seeking Votes

  "The second problem, in my Iron Cloud, I don't know how many fifth-columnists have been planted for years; and I estimate that many of them are in high positions, both in the military and government. Tie Butian smiled: "Mr. Chu, you once said that to conquer the outside world, one must first stabilize the inside. If you can complete the first task, which is the purge of the Tie Butian Pavilion, then the second task will also be given to you; only after that will come the military conquest of the two countries! However, the prerequisite is stability."

  "There are many who fear death, but if they can maintain balance until all are killed, it is also balance." Tie Butian smiled: "But some people, killing one person shakes the world."

  Chu Yang smiled strangely. The implication of Tie Bu Tian's words was that he understood very well. In other words: If you can't even complete the first task, then get lost early on. Don't think about the second or third...

  As for what he called balance, it was not a sudden impulse. It was about the current situation between the two countries and Tieyun's current political situation: Balance!

  Nowadays, Iron Cloud's balanced and stable development is far more important than rapidly enhancing national power, which is also the bottom line for Iron to make up for Heaven.

  "Mr. Chu, I'm leaving the Supplementing Heaven Pavilion in your care." Tie Butian walked to the door and turned back with a gentle smile.

  "Bu Tian Ge, haha, did the prince let me make up for lost time here?" Chu Yang chuckled.

  "Mr. Chu wants to cooperate, he must bring out his own skills and means. Divine soldiers and sharp weapons are always external objects, boasting and bragging is just empty talk." Tie Butian smiled with a lowered brow: "The current state of the Bu Tian Pavilion is Mr. Chu's touchstone."

  "The Bǔ Tiān Gé was established for three years, but it's just a fledgling." With a meaningful smile, Tiě Bǔ Tiān strolled out.

  From start to finish, Tie Butian only introduced him and didn't help him out; if Chu Yang wants to stand firm here, he must rely on his own strength to stand firmly, and then he can talk about rectification and cleansing. Finally, controlling the Bu Tian Pavilion is the first step in the cooperation between Tie Butian and Chu Yang!

  With Chu Yang's martial arts skills, it is almost impossible for him to single-handedly control the entire Bu Tian Pavilion, which consists of only martial artists at the lowest level, and have this already familiar and harmonious team follow his command and establish his authority.

  But Chu Yang had no way out. Now that things have come to this, he wanted the courtesy of Tie Bu Tian, and Tie Bu Tian gave it to him. He wanted Tie Bu Tian's attention, and Tie Bu Tian also gave it to him.

  The influence he created has been fulfilled. Even the Tiān Bǔ Tiān's core, Tiān Bǔ Gé, was given to him!

  In Chu Yang's eyes, Tie Bu Tian was a bit effeminate and had a slightly 'feminine' demeanor, but the trust that Chu Yang wanted most, Tie Bu Tian gave without reservation.

  Chuyang has already obtained everything he had hoped for before Tieyun.

  It's time for him to show off his skills. If he can't convince the people of Bǔ Tiān Gé, then it just proves that Chǔ Yáng doesn't deserve Tiě Bǔ Tiān's trust!

  The current situation is that Chuyang and Tie Butian have joined forces, pushing Chuyang himself to a point of no return!

  Tie Butian has been gone for a long time, Chu Yang is deeply buried in the ocean of these materials, carefully analyzing them bit by bit. These materials are just words, and most words are unreliable; but Chu Yang wants to find the truth from among the untrustworthy, find the loopholes, only then can he have a basic understanding in his heart.

  It is indeed not easy to find something untrustworthy in a file that has already been filtered through layers of wise and capable people.

  But Chu Yang's first step can only start from this aspect. Because he doesn't have the intelligence power like that of a spider web, and now he is just one person!

  Chu Yang firmly believed in one thing: there was no organization that didn't have an unbreakable weakness. Under the fifth gentle plan, Iron Supplement Heaven here might not be completely flawless after all. The people responsible for screening on the side of Iron Supplement Heaven were not necessarily... loyal!

  Chu Yang spent an entire afternoon reviewing the files of all eighty-seven people in the Bu Tian Pavilion, and by the end of that afternoon, he had completely memorized them.

  Close your eyes, and the information of eighty-seven people is swirling in front of you, down to every last detail!

  Then Chu Yang walked out.

  "Your Excellency." Seeing Chu Yang come out, Bing Hun Dao Zun Cheng Zi Ang was the first to stand up. The crowd behind him also stood up with him. Compared to when Chu Yang arrived, there were seven more people now, a total of twelve people.

  These people looked at Chu Yang with some hostility, also with vigilance and distrust, but seeing the title of "Yu Zuoye", they still stood up to pay their respects. Many people had a mocking look in their eyes, obviously waiting to see a good show.

  "From now on, we're colleagues, so there's no need to be so polite." Chu Yang's words made the usually stoic Ice Soul Blade Lord twitch at the corner of his mouth.

  Really think you're an official now? Even don't need to be polite? But Chu Yang's first words were "Cheng adult", not "Cheng senior"; This explains that Chu Yang is handling things with the rules of the secular officialdom, rather than the rules of the Wulin Jianghu.

  Those in power are ruthless!

  Chu Yang's first sentence was to knock down Zi Ang, even if you are a Knife Master, a high-ranking master. But this is in the officialdom, under the command of the Crown Prince! Even if it were a weak and powerless white-faced scholar who became your superior, you would still have to be obedient!

  But Chu Yang in his heart, also had some disdain for this so-called "top-notch expert". Since ancient times, top-notch experts have been numerous, although they can dominate the Jianghu world, but... among so many top-notch experts, how many are greedy for worldly wealth and glory?

  Since you have abandoned your transcendent status in Jianghu and come to serve the secular court, then you are an official.

  You abandoned that identity, your state of mind has already fallen. You are no longer a top-notch master! Even if you have such a title, when facing a top-notch master of the same level, Cheng Zixiang absolutely has no hope of winning!

  "Once an adult, please inform all the men under your command in Iron Cloud City to gather here tomorrow morning." Chu Yang said calmly: "As a new official takes office, three fires must be burned; this is an official custom; I hope Lord Cheng will assist greatly!"

  Chengzi was shocked and amazed.

  This newly appointed Honorable Guest is really straightforward! Even if you want to make three moves, do you have to say it so bluntly?

  That night, when Chu Yang returned to Tian Bing Pavilion, he heard the sound of wind whistling in the backyard. It was Gu Du Xing who was practicing his sword.

  Chu Yang stood on the steps, watching Gu Du Xing practice his swordplay, but his mind was lost in thought.

  Should Gu Du Xing be put on the front lines? It can't be denied that his current combat strength is considered top-notch in Iron Cloud City. Having him by one's side would make handling any situation much smoother.

  After all, his current martial arts skills were only at the fourth level of Warrior.

  Looking at the rolling sword light in the backyard, Chuyang finally shook his head. Gu Du Xing, it's better not to show up, Bǔ Tiān Gé is Bǔ Tiān Gé, and Gu Du Xing's strength is the reliance for the two brothers to survive and develop in this Iron Cloud City.

  Keep a trump card in reserve, no matter when, it must be more reliable than the surface strength.

  "Chu brother, you're back." Gu Du Xing had finished practicing his sword techniques, and his clothes were already drenched in sweat; his face was also somewhat pale, having exhausted a lot of energy. It seemed that he had activated the Crazy Sword Technique.

  As for Chu Yang, Gu Du Xing also felt strange. Chu Yang's age was much younger than his own, this was certain. But somehow, every time he faced Chu Yang, he had a strange feeling that the other was far more mature than himself.

  If it were a matter of age, he was older; but Chu Yang never discussed age with him. This made Gu Du Xing very depressed, what to call him?

  You call me Chu brother, I call you Gu brother?

  Chu Yang would naturally not discuss age with Gu Du Xing. If it were a matter of age... wouldn't he be at a disadvantage? This loss was unbearable.

  But Gu Du Xing couldn't see Yang's true strength clearly, was this young man a Martial Monarch or a Martial Venerable? Anyway, Gu Du Xing didn't dare guess lower, he could only guess higher.

  If Gu Du Xing knew Chu Yang's current strength was only that of a warrior, he might collapse on the spot...
