Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 365 Willing to be Sidelined

Gao Xian looked at his son in surprise, but at the same time he felt a little happy:

This son, who was good for nothing before, has indeed made a lot of progress in the past few years.

Not only did he gradually make a name for himself in business and accumulate a lot of wealth for his family, he also studied under Zhou Banxia and learned a lot of skills!

What's even more gratifying is that in the past few years, his wives and concubines have continued to have children, and have added more than a dozen children, so that his Gao family no longer has to worry about extinction.

Now, because of his merits in suppressing the rebellion and winning the surrender, he was granted the official title of Hou? by the court.

The Gao family has nothing to worry about!

Things did develop in the direction Gao Jinda said.

On the third day after the troops from the six counties gathered together, a grand banquet was held in the newly built banquet hall of the Earl of Le'an's Mansion.

Although Anya County Governor Lin Cong sat in the first seat, he knew very well that he was just a puppet of the Liu family at this moment.

He had been in Anping County for several days, but he still felt uneasy. He would think of the situation after Anya City was captured by the Jinzhou rebels from time to time:

Shortly after the city was broken, a group of martial artists came to kill him. If it weren't for the timely appearance of the martial arts masters from the Liu family, he would have lost his life long ago.

Later, under the protection of the Liu family's martial artists, he took his family and escaped from Anya City during the chaos, and traveled all the way to Anping County.

During this time, martial artists from Jinzhou Yuanyan family came to rob and kill them several times, and even sent out Earth-level warriors, but they all returned empty-handed.

After all, Anya County is the Liu family's sphere of influence. Although their military might be slightly inferior to that of the Yuanyan family at this moment, the forces in the martial arts world, especially the combat power of martial artists, are not weaker than that of the Yuanyan family at all.

When they arrived at Anping County, although he and his family were treated to delicious food and drinks, he could still feel that the people in Anping County only had the Liu family in their eyes, not him, the governor of Anya County!

Soon, a strange man named Zhou Banxia found him and told him the Liu family's plan for him without any reservation:

I will be a hands-off county governor in the Liu family, taking care of everything and asking nothing. I will do whatever the Liu family asks me to do and say whatever they ask me to say! I will just make sure I can get a share of the credit for defeating the rebels and recovering the lost territory!

Otherwise, the Liu family cannot guarantee that they can defend against the assassins sent by the Yuan Yan family.

This is naked inducement and threat! This is a blatant attempt to undermine me!

But what can I do! After all, today is different from the past! I heard that during the previous civil unrest, the Liu family had already controlled the military power of several counties, not to mention that the Liu family had just defeated the Yuan Yan family's army of tens of thousands of people a few days ago!

If you want to survive, you can only cooperate with the Liu family.

The banquet had not started yet, but people were arriving one after another. The civil officials who had fled here knew to come and see Lin Cong first, but none of the military officials paid any attention to Lin Cong.

Lin Cong saw it and could only sigh in his heart.

Finally, the Liu family father and son finally arrived.

All the military officers stood up and bowed.

"Greetings to the Lord County Commander! Greetings to the Lord Commander!"

The county lieutenant was Liu Shihao and the military commander was Liu Feiyun.

The imperial court's appointment had arrived yesterday, but unexpectedly, Liu Feiyun was not appointed as the Anya County Magistrate, but was only promoted to Anya Division Commander, with Liu Shihao temporarily taking over the position of County Magistrate.

This appointment made Zhou Banxia complain for a long time. He said that Emperor Gu Huairen was too petty and was still playing some small tricks even at this time when the world was in chaos.

However, the father and son of the Liu family did not care too much about it, as it was nothing more than an empty title.

Even if Gu Huairen appointed someone else as the county lieutenant, the military power of Anya County was still firmly controlled by the Liu family.

Nowadays, the actual controllers of the militia in each county are all from the Liu family.

The Liu family father and son first exchanged some pleasantries with Lin Cong, and then the banquet officially began.

After three rounds of drinks, everyone started to talk about business.

As the nominal leader of Anya County

, Lin Cong announced two things:

First, due to his health reasons, all civil affairs in Anya County were handed over to the county magistrates of various county governments for discussion and decision.

In view of the outstanding ability of Anping County Magistrate Gao Xian, everyone's opinion was led by Gao Xian.

Second, the county lieutenant Liu Shihao was authorized to be responsible for the training and combat affairs of the entire county's troops, and all county governments must obey absolutely.

This actually shows his attitude of completely handing over power to the Liu family.

The banquet should have ended here, but suddenly a servant came to report that an imperial edict had arrived.

Everyone was stunned for a moment: Imperial edict!? Why did it come at this time!
