Chapter 304: A Small Test of Divine Power (asking for monthly ticket)
In the early morning, the sky was bright and the mountains were painted white.
Outside the Zhonglang Hall of the Ninth Mountain, the military was heavily armed, with soldiers guarding every ten steps. Among them was a soldier in red armor, holding a sword at his waist, standing in front of the main gate.
Outside, the wind was blowing and snow was piling up on his helmet and shawl. Frost formed on his brows, but he stood there motionless for the entire night.
At the bottom of the steps in front of the red-armored soldier, a white-robed scholar was walking back and forth, and the wind and snow did not touch him.
At this moment, with a "creak", the solemn and heavy black door of the hall opened without wind.
A warm breeze blew out from the hall, interweaving with the wind and snow outside the door, and instantly rolled up a layer of white mist.
At the foot of the stairs, the white-robed scholar general who was walking back and forth stopped and quickly straightened his body.
The red-armored soldier standing guard at the door also turned around and bowed.
"General!"
The white mist dissipated, and Chen Yuan emerged from seclusion.
He was in a good mood after opening the first divine treasure and gaining a new divine power. He looked at Yun Tiansheng who was keeping watch outside, smiled and nodded.
"You've been on guard all night, you've worked hard, go down and rest!"
Yun Tiansheng just opened his mouth,
"General Gao wants to see you. He came here since yesterday evening."
"Oh?"
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Gao Yu who was following Yun Tiansheng, and took two steps forward, "General Gao, you came up to talk to me. Is there something urgent?"
Gao Yu, who had looked back and forth several times since yesterday, quickly walked up the stairs, clasped his fists, and whispered,
"General, I heard from Yun Qiqi yesterday that you were practicing, so I didn't disturb you."
"Yesterday afternoon, the North City garrison general reported that the Prince of Beiliang came to Jinguan City with a large group of people."
"Prince of Beiliang?" Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this title, his eyes gleaming as he recalled the past. "How many troops have come?"
"There are over a hundred Liangzhou cavalrymen, all of whom have Tixuan cultivation, and there are ten Tianguan guards, all of whom are masters. That prince has not shown up, so I think he must be protected by someone with great magical powers."
Gao Yu reported.
"Where are these people staying?"
"The Jin family of Beicheng is a second-rate family. We have found out that he is a cousin of the former head of the Jin family. He went out to venture into the martial arts world a few years ago and is now a guest of the Beiliang Palace."
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
Gao Yu raised his head, took a step closer, and whispered:
"General, do you want to keep an eye on this group of people?"
Chen Yuan raised his eyelids and glanced at Gao Yu unexpectedly, with a half-smile on his face.
"Why did General Gao say that? After all, he is of a prominent status. I thought that joining the army would allow me to get closer to him."
Gao Yu shook his head, "General, you have forgotten what I do. I learned from the documents at Tianxiong Pass that you killed the retainers of the Beiliang Palace. Someone over there is causing chaos in Shu and has bad intentions."
"Besides, Liangzhou is adjacent to Shu. I have heard some things about it. The Liangzhou cavalry is not at peace."
He is in charge of documents and archives. All messages transmitted from various governments have to pass through their hands, so naturally he knows some things.
Chen Yuan nodded, a trace of solemnity flashed across his brows, he remembered that he had killed a man named Xiahou Yuan in the street at Tianxiong Pass. This man had previously raised private soldiers in Baidi City and plotted to cause chaos. After clearing out the evil sect, he decisively left. Later, when Chen Yuan just took office as the ninth general of the mountains and sent troops to Tianxiong Pass, he happened to discover him, beheaded him, and obtained the guest token of the Beiliang Palace.
At that time, there was another person beside him, who was also a retainer of the Beiliang Palace. He participated in the rebellion of several families in Tianxiong Pass, but was not caught by him.
As a result, he was implicated in a grudge against the huge Beiliang Palace. The other party should also be aware of this. They brought troops into the city with such fanfare, and I guess they didn't take him seriously.
After all, the prince of the Beiliang Palace has a prominent status.
"Send someone to monitor their movements and find out if there is a person named Minister Wu among this group of Beiliang people."
Chen Yuan gave the order, with a dark golden light flashing in his eyes. Although the huge Beiliang Palace was intimidating, he knew that under the current situation, he would not be able to get along with this group of people as he was in charge of Jinguan City, so he had to be vigilant.
"Yes!"
Gao Yu responded,
But Chen Yuan smiled again, "Call the head of the Jin family over. They must be very happy to have the prince visit their house. However, the prince of Beiliang is of noble status. As the host, I have to ask the head of the family to be careful and not neglect the guest."
Gao Yu listened to Chen Yuan's casual words and knew that the general wanted to give the head of the Jin family a warning.
"Yes, then I will take my leave!"
Having said that, he turned around and walked away quickly.
Chen Yuan looked at the other person's back as he left, and felt an invisible and tremendous pressure approaching. After all, he was only a General of the Central Army. Faced with the situation of the revival of heaven and earth, all kinds of monsters would appear, and there would be more and more prominent figures like the Prince of Beiliang.
It would be wishful thinking for him to control the situation alone.
There is always someone better than you, and there are always people better than you. Now there are two of them living in his Ninth Mountain.
But behave yourself like a human being?
That plan is absolutely impossible.
Ah!
"You go down and rest first."
Chen Yuan tilted his head slightly.
"Yes!"
Yun Tiansheng clasped his fists and stepped back. The rustling of his iron armor shook off the snowflakes. Then he turned around and shook the snowflakes on his armor, and he leaped into the flying snow and flew down the mountain.
Chen Yuan moved his feet and came to a flower garden behind the Zhonglang Palace.
At this time, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were all covered with snow, forming thick ice sculptures.
Most of the plants inside could not endure the continuous days of ice and snow, and withered, died, and lost their vitality.
Chen Yuan moved his feet and stepped into the flower and grass garden in the bitter snow. When he stepped in, a faint green wave rippled out.
Immediately afterwards, a magical scene appeared!
All I saw was a rustling sound coming from the bare snow.
Then, something seemed to be stirring in the snow.
The next second, grass sprouts were seen breaking out from the snow and growing visibly to the naked eye.
The withered and yellow trees around me changed from withered leaves to green branches, then to blooming, and finally to bearing fruit.
In just a dozen breaths, these trees changed rapidly, as if a shortcut key was pressed. Through the four seasons, time flew by, it was extremely magical.
Chen Yuan witnessed with his own eyes that this place, which was originally covered with snow, turned into green grass and abundant fruits in a short period of time.
He walked to a peach tree, grabbed a fist-sized peach, took a bite, and the sweet juice burst in his mouth, making him squint his eyes.
A small test of the magical power is almost unbelievable.
Maybe it will come in handy soon.
at this time,
There were shouts from outside.
It was Yun Tiansheng who had just come down the mountain.
"General, Miss Qin is here to visit us. She said she has something important to discuss!"
