Chapter 51: Pointing to Jiangshan, choosing Zhenhun Street
The day has come for the graduating students to choose the Soul-Realming Street and leave the Island of Dead Souls.
Students in the genius class can choose the Zhenhun Street on their own, while ordinary students can only be assigned passively.
In Yan Xinyue's office, sitting on a chair was a handsome, elegant, graceful, and delicate man with a face as if carved by a knife or an axe, yet he had an air of dominance and dignity. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and tapped rhythmically with the index finger of his right hand that was holding the armrest.
Li Ye is thinking about the choice of Zhenhun Street. He will definitely inherit his father's Chang'an Street, which is an important town in the northwest and the center of the entire northwest of the underworld. It is also the base camp that the Li family has guarded and operated for generations for a thousand years.
Then his base must be built around Chang'an Avenue.
"Hey, why hasn't Shuwen come back yet?" Gao Chong paced back and forth in the office, anxiously saying. Gao Chong was still as sunny and handsome, tall and handsome, and straightforward.
"Calm down. Stay calm even when a mountain collapses in front of you. That's what a great general does. With your mentality, how can the lord trust you with his back?"
Yang Tianyu said calmly. Yang Tianyu was slightly calmer than Gao Chong.
"Shuwen is a master strategist with unparalleled wisdom and strategies. I can trust him to get the job done. There's no need to worry." Li Ye said calmly.
"This is a big deal, how can I stay calm?"
"Gao Chong, sit down. The boss is right. Shuwen has a long-term vision and unparalleled wisdom. He will handle this little matter well."
Yang Tianyu, who was sitting on another chair, stood up and walked to Gao Chong, held his shoulders, and spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Gao Chong sat down helplessly.
A moment later, a young man with a thin figure, wearing an elegant white robe and a white jade pendant around his waist walked into the dormitory door. He exuded calmness in his every move and his face was as calm as a lake.
It was Fang Shuwen.
"I'm back and everything is done!" said Fang Shuwen.
As he spoke, he took out a piece of parchment from his waist.
He spread out a piece of parchment on his desk. It was a map.
To be precise, it is the distribution and topographic map of Zhenhun Street in the northwest area of the underworld.
It records the distribution of Zhenhun Street in the northwest region and the terrain conditions of each Zhenhun Street and its surrounding areas.
"My lord, look, this is Chang'an Avenue." Fang Shuwen pointed to Chang'an Avenue on the map.
"Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, in the Guanzhong Plain. It is a land of abundance with fertile fields stretching for thousands of miles. With this as a base, great things can be expected!"
"Besides, your family, the Li family, has guarded Chang'an Street for generations and has been operating here for thousands of years. They have a strong foundation and a solid power."
"On this basis, we must firmly grasp the entire Guanzhong in our own hands. There are eight central streets around, each of which is an important town fortress. If we take these eight soul-relief streets into our pockets, we can unite our forces and build a solid base."
"These eight streets are Tiande Street in the north, Zhenwu Street in the northeast, Fengxiang Street, Jingyuan Street, Binning Street, Fufang Street, Lingyan Street, and Xiasui Street in the west."
"In addition, we also need to take control of Tongguan Street, Dasan Street, Nanwu Street, Beixiao Street and other places as soon as possible."
After saying that, he looked at Li Ye.
Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "The Soul Suppressors of these four passes and eight towns must all have top-notch bravery and strategy to be competent."
He thought about his current team, Fang Shuwen, Gao Chong, Yang Tianyu, Wang Wulong, Wang Shichuan, Wang Sheng, Wang Boren, Li Xianyi, Guo Yuzhu, Hua Ling, Sun Xiaoxiao, Yang Yuechan, Han Xun, Shi Qiang, He Han as well as Zhang Lin, Li Jingyun, Li Gaoyang and others who were gradually won over later.
Zhang Lin's patron saint is Zhang Xun, who is the Zhang Sui Yang in "General Yan's head, Ji Shizhong's blood, Zhang Sui Yang's teeth, Yan Changshan's tongue." During the Anshi Rebellion, he faced more than 100,000 rebels with only 7,000 troops and held out for seven months to protect Zhang Xun in the Jiangnan region.
Li Jingyun's patron saint is Li Ji, who, together with Li Jing, became one of the two Lis of the Tang Dynasty and the two pillars of the empire. He was one of the Ten Sages of the Temple of War, a veteran of three dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, and one of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion. In his lifetime, he defeated the Xueyantuo, pacified the northern Qi, destroyed the Eastern Turks, and defeated Goguryeo.
Li Gaoyang's patron saint is Li Siye, the Tang Dynasty's god of war with Modao. "If anyone faces Siye, both men and horses will be destroyed!" He was known as the "divine general" and made great contributions to the suppression of the Anshi Rebellion. He conquered the two capitals, died in the battlefield, and was posthumously named "Prince of Wuwei".
After a careful calculation, he now has eighteen people under his command, many of whom are brave and good at fighting. His own power base is already extremely strong.
"Haha, in the past, Emperor Taizong Wen had 24 ministers in the Lingyan Pavilion. I also have my own Lingyan Pavilion. All the heroes in the world are in my lap!"
Li Ye said to Fang Shuwen: "Shuwen, what do you think?"
"Boss, there are many people in our team who are both civil and military, brave and skilled in fighting, and have good strategies. You don't have to worry about the selection of the Soul-Suppressing General."
"What we need to worry about now is whether all these Soul-Realming Streets are vacant and whether we can get these Soul-Realming Streets as we wish." "Shuwen, go call them all over and let's discuss it." Li Ye pondered for a moment and said to Fang Shuwen.
"Okay." Fang Shuwen nodded.
Fang Shuwen had just left when Yan Xinyue arrived. Li Ye came to her desk and asked:
"Teacher Yan, are there any soul-suppressing generals in these soul-suppressing streets?"
Li Ye pointed at the soul-relief streets that had been selected earlier.
"These are all relatively important places, how could there not be Soul-Suppressing Generals there? However, the Soul-Suppressing General position on Chang'an Street is currently vacant." Yan Xinyue looked at the Soul-Suppressing Streets that Li Ye was pointing at and answered with a chuckle.
Hearing this, Li Ye was very disappointed. It is always a hero's fault to die before achieving success.
Seeing Li Ye's undisguised disappointment, Yan Xinyue smiled and said, "But these areas are all within your Li family's sphere of influence. They currently belong to your Li family. You are still very likely to take over these Soul-Realizing Streets."
Hearing this, Li Ye felt a little better.
"By the way, the teacher is looking for you. Go find him." Teacher Yan continued.
"Okay, I'll go now." Li Ye nodded immediately.
Then, Li Ye walked towards the Master's courtyard.
Soon Li Ye arrived at the Master's courtyard.
"Teacher, the student is here." Li Ye said respectfully.
"Come in." The teacher's voice as calm as water came from the courtyard.
The gate was open, and Li Ye entered the courtyard. The courtyard was still filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and was quiet and elegant.
The Master was still in the pavilion. Li Ye stepped forward and bowed, then asked, "Hello, Master. I wonder why you called me here?"
"It's related to your Zhenhun Street."
"Ok?"
"The general chain on Chang'an Street is at your grandfather's house in Chang'an, Li's house in the human world. You have to go there in person. He has something to tell you."
"The underworld and the human world are connected. You can go to Chang'an Street from Chang'an in the human world. Don't worry."
"Also, your grandfather has solved the problem of your companions' Zhenhun Street for you. The four passes, the eight towns in the west of Beijing, and the surrounding Zhenhun Streets have been replaced, and the general chain is with me."
Li Ye was almost going crazy with joy. Surprises came to him one after another, and he was almost stunned by the joy.
As he spoke, the Master handed an exquisite box to Li Ye, who took it solemnly.
"Inside this is the general chain of the Soul-Suppressing General of Eighteen Streets near Chang'an. Now it's all handed over to you. From now on, you have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the northwest." The master said in a serious voice.
"I will remember the Master's teachings. From now on, I will protect the Eighteen Streets of Chang'an and make the northwest prosperous!"
"Okay, let's go back."
……
Li Ye returned to the office and handed the general chains to the remaining eighteen people.
Li Ye looked at the rising sun at the eastern end of the Dark Sea.
"The red sun rises, and its path shines brightly!"
At the same time, the Master stared quietly in the direction where Li Ye had just left.
"A young tiger roars in the valley, and all the beasts are terrified!"
