Chapter 170

In the end, he condensed a hundred strands of spiritual energy, which he condensed into a wisp of spiritual power, operated it in his veins, and finally entered his lower dantian, opening up a small point in his lower dantian.

Then, Su Xuan got up, went to wash up first, had breakfast with Dian Wei and others, and spent more than an hour arriving at the east gate of Luoyang city.

After entering the city,

Su Xuan parted ways with Huangfu Song: "Boyuan, let's part here today! The reward will probably take a few days; we will meet again then."

"Good!"

Su Xuan nodded with a smile: "See you again!"

Then, the two went their separate ways.

Huangfu Song went to his residence on Vermilion Bird Street, while Su Xuan came to a residence that the Su family merchant association had purchased in Luoyang in advance.

Temporarily staying here.

"Lord! Mr. Gongda is here!"

Su Xuan had just called Jia Yi to understand the current situation in Luoyang when Jia San personally invited him to report.

"Hmm? Gongda is here? Quickly, come with me to welcome him!"

Su Xuan was a bit surprised, got up from the study immediately, and soon arrived at the gate of the residence, personally welcoming Seeing Xun You You in.

"Haha! Gongda, it's been a long time! How have you been lately?"

"Why did you come to Luoyang at this time? You didn't come specifically for me, did you?"

Su Xuan asked with a smile while pulling Seeing Xun You You's forearm and walking into the residence.

"All good! All good!"

Seeing Xun You You also nodded happily and said: "I came to Luoyang more than half a month in advance!"

"Consider it as an advance party for you, helping you understand the situation in advance and make preparations!"

Next, Seeing Xun You You told Su Xuan the information and situation he had learned during this time.

At the same time, he also gave his own suggestions.

Finally, he said: "This time, Boyuan, you took Guang Sect and beheaded Zhang Jiao, which is indeed another great merit!"

"Even General Huangfu Song is slightly inferior in terms of merit."

"You have stolen the limelight."

"But precisely because of this, you have been feared by the Emperor, He Jin, and even the Yuan clan."

"Ha?"

Su Xuan was stunned and speechless: "Not to mention He Jin and the Yuan clan, why would the Emperor fear me because of this?"

"I solved the rebellion for him, allowing him to sleep peacefully; shouldn't he be grateful to me, appreciate me, and reuse me?"

"What is this about fearing me?"

He was a bit unable to understand.

Merit overshadowing the master?

"Doesn't he know that because he keeps promoting me, I have no foundation in the court at all, and am even hostile and targeted by many forces like He Jin and the Yuan clan?"

"What is he fearing me for?"

Su Xuan was also speechless.

What is Liu Hong doing?

Hasn't he always been committed to building me into a lone minister, a sharp blade to deal with He Jin and the Yuan clan?

Isn't it a bit too early to kill the donkey after the mill is finished and suppress me?

"I don't know the specifics!"

Seeing Xun You You also shook his head helplessly: "However, according to the intelligence analysis I have gathered, someone must have been spreading Boyuan's potential threat to the Emperor."

"I don't know if you know the character of the current Emperor, but he is actually a suspicious and soft-hearted person."

"He listens to whatever he hears; obviously, he has listened to some of it."

"Perhaps he won't suppress you completely, but there should be some changes in the subsequent rewards."

"It is basically impossible for you to enter the court as an official; it can be basically concluded that you will be sent to the local area to serve as an Administrator."

"Of course, the military power in your hands should not be cut, but it is also impossible to increase it."

Speaking of this, Seeing Xun You You looked at Su Xuan inexplicably: "But I think this should be what you hope to see, right, Boyuan?"

The Emperor might really have developed some fear of Su Xuan because of some people's slander, and dare not promote him too much, lest Su Xuan become too big to be controlled and become another He Jin.

But it was impossible for him to just abandon Su Xuan.

He still hoped to cultivate Su Xuan to balance He Jin and even the Yuan clan and other noble families, and divide the power of the noble families.

Therefore, the best thing was to send Su Xuan to the local area to serve.

It just so happened that because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Emperor's influence and control in the local area had further declined significantly.

He also hoped that through newcomers like Su Xuan who had made battle achievements in this rebellion suppression, he could help him improve his influence and control in the local area.

Thus, killing four birds with one stone.

It can prevent Su Xuan from becoming too big in the court and becoming too big to be controlled;

It can help him improve his control in the local area;

It can divide the noble families;

It can also help him contain and hold He Jin, the Yuan clan, and other forces in Luoyang.

Simply perfect.

The Emperor must have arranged for more than just Su Xuan in this plan.

Similar to Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Huangfu Song... etc., all were candidates for this plan.

"Haha!"

Su Xuan laughed heartily and pointed at Seeing Xun You You: "Gongda still understands me!"

"How is this just getting a little bit of news?"

"You have clearly found out everything for me!"

"Even the Emperor's thoughts and plans have been found out; it seems you have really put in the effort, thank you!"

Even the secret guards couldn't find out the news so clearly.

It's not that the secret guards are not capable, but that the time for the secret guards to be established and developed is still too short.

Seeing Xun You You shook his head: "Nothing, this is what I should do, after all, we will be in-laws in the future!"

"How?"

Su Xuan asked deliberately with a straight face: "Gongda, do you look down on me? Or are you unwilling to come and help me?"

Seeing Xun You You: "..."

He and Su Xuan looked at each other.

After a few breaths,

"Hahaha!"

Both couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After a while, Su Xuan got up, bowed slightly to Seeing Xun You You solemnly: "Gongda! The chaotic world is coming; I sincerely invite you again to join my command and help me; are you willing?"

In fact, he knew that Seeing Xun You You was willing to come to Luoyang to help him find out news and manage all sides, which already showed his heart.

But the sense of ritual that should be there still had to be there.

To show his importance to Seeing Xun You You.

Seeing Xun You You also got up and returned the salute solemnly: "I am valued by the General; Seeing Xun You You is willing to serve to the death!"

"Good! Haha!"

Su Xuan laughed and helped Seeing Xun You You up, pulled him to sit down and said: "Finally, I have gained your recognition and help, Gongda; I am more confident in the future..."

"I will also tell you my subsequent plans, and you can help me analyze them and check for omissions! How about it?"

"Hmm! By the way, call Zhicai and Zhongde over as well."

Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu, after two or three months of contact and getting along.

Su Xuan had basically conquered them and confirmed their loyalty to him.

Combined with good and evil perception;

Plus the health-preserving longevity techniques he gave them and the influence of some cultivation method contracts they redeemed.

There was no need to worry about them betraying him; he could talk to them about future plans and expose part of his ambition.

"Good!"

Seeing Xun You You was naturally willing.
