I Have Awakened The Deduction System

A familiar notification sounded.

It was still a small reward.

This made He Chuan understand that managing the civilians in the city was not enough to give him a high rating.

He still had to start from many aspects.

After returning to the City Lord's Manor, he started to prepare the relevant matters.

However, before he could start his deduction, the leader of the militia came over and said that he had something important to tell him.

Only then did He Chuan remember that a group of hunters had gone missing. After asking, it was indeed this matter.

But it wasn't a bad thing. On the contrary, it was a great thing.

That group of hunters had been chased by strange beasts on their way to hunt. They had accidentally come to a mountain bandit's cave. There was a large pile of food and military armor inside, but there was no one guarding it.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been plundered by the bandits and hidden here. However, due to the heavy snow sealing the mountain or the threat of strange beasts, they were unable to take it away.

In the end, they were able to take advantage of the situation.

Now, all the resources had been brought back to the city by them. When He Chuan went over to take inventory, they would be able to use them at any time.

When the militia leader spoke up to this point, the corners of his mouth curled up into a wide smile. He was extremely happy.

The City Lord was truly fortunate.

Whatever he lacked, the heavens would be able to give him.

With such a batch of supplies, let alone spending this month, even spending this winter would not be a problem.

"Let's go and take a look."

He Chuan's mood was also much better.

He knew that this was a reward from the heavenly law.

He did not expect to save this group of hunters along the way.

This saved him a lot of trouble.

When he arrived at the square in the center of the city, he took a look.

Whoa!

It was indeed a large number of resources.

Boxes of all sizes took up almost half of the space in the square.

According to the captain of the militia, this was not all. Almost half of the resources were left in the cave and had been sent to be transported.

He Chuan looked at the list that had just been calculated. After roughly knowing the amount of the resources that were returned this time, he began to reward the meritorious subjects.

After all, someone else had found the materials on the surface.

A small portion had to be given to the hunters who had lost their way in the forest.

Everyone received the rewards they deserved.

Especially the middle-aged hunter who was the leader. He received three times the number of materials and a piece of land as compensation.

The result of doing this directly aroused the motivation of more people in the city.

They all joined the militia and wanted to do more for Glory City.

At this moment, Xu Ke suddenly ran over and whispered a few words into He Chuan's ear.

He Chuan frowned slightly. He immediately asked the militia captain to continue to coordinate the transportation of the resources while he and Xu Ke left in a hurry.

When they walked further away, there was no one around.

He Chuan slowly opened his mouth.

"Is what you said true?"

"Your Highness, it's absolutely true!"

Xu Ke slightly bent his body and carefully said, "The military camp is now in chaos, I suspect that a few leaders are planning a rebellion."

He Chuan suddenly stopped and looked at him thoughtfully, "Then why did you come to tell me? Aren't you the Chief of the Military Staff? In other words, the relationship between the leaders and you is definitely not bad. What made you give up your years of friendship with them and choose me?"

"Your Highness..." Xu Ke smiled bitterly, "I don't have any friendship with them, it's just a show. Everyone wants to rope me in, but I can't follow anyone."

"You want to find someone with more power as a backer?"

"No, I really want to follow your Highness!" Xu Ke's expression suddenly changed. He said obsequiously, "Although you don't control the military power in the city now, with your ability and identity, it's easy for you to control these few small commanders of Glory City."

He Chuan smiled and didn't say anything else. He continued to walk forward.

Basically, he could rule out the possibility that Xu Ke and the few commanders had set him up.

To be honest, with his current strength, he really had to be more cautious and not put himself in danger.

Therefore, after he came to the city's military camp entrance, he didn't go in directly. Instead, he let Xu Ke go in and spread the word, asking the commanders of the few legions to come and see him.

Glory City had a total of four legions.

They corresponded to the names of the four city gates of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

Among them, the Azure Dragon Legion commander had the greatest contribution and formed his own faction. He had more troops and horses than the other three legions combined and held the position of commander of the four legions.

However, there were also divisions of powers in the military camp.

Although the Azure Dragon was the strongest, the other three legions never listened to his commands.

They were led by the White Tiger Legion, who had been supported by the past City Lords. For many years, they had been fighting against the Azure Dragon Legion.

There was no other reason. In the end, it was because the character of the Azure Dragon Legion was not good.

Denial! Independence!

Not only did they like to criticize the soldiers of the other legions, they also used their positions and power to take advantage of their position. They took up more than half of the resources that were allocated to the camp every year for personal consumption.

Almost every day, they lived luxurious life.

As the saying went, if the upper beam is not upright, the lower beam must be crooked.

No matter how great his achievements were.

If he started to drift after sitting in this position, it would lead a large number of people astray.

His subordinates were also addicted to enjoyment like him. The rules of the military camp were lax and lawless.

There were even people who forced women of the city!

Such a way of doing things naturally caused the other three corps commanders to be dissatisfied.

Both sides had a long-standing grudge, but because they were both generals of the empire, they did not dare to clash with each other.

Xu Ke was well aware of the open and hidden conflicts between the two forces.

Therefore, when He Chuan sent him in to spread the news, to be honest, he was also in a bit of a dilemma.

Which commander should he inform first?

This was a small, but very serious question.

No matter who he went to first, he would be ostracized by the other side.

But on careful thought, it didn't matter.

Just call over two soldiers and let them spread the word for him!

In the past, he might have been disgusted by the commanders on both sides.

But now, it's different!

He defected to He Chuan!

He Chuan is the Prince! The City Lord!

Just try to disgust me again!
