Chapter 305 Senior, it’s time to raise a dragon
"General"
"General"
"."
In the early morning, on the top of the Ninth Mountain, snow was flying all over the sky, and many people were starting their busy day.
There were servants sweeping the snow on the corridor, maids hurriedly carrying exquisite heaters and soup, and soldiers patrolling back and forth.
I saw a man in green striding briskly in the corridor bridge leading up and down outside the Zhonglang Hall, followed by a man in red armor. Their skirts and armor swayed and rustled, and they looked very imposing.
The figures walking on the covered bridge saw Qing Yi and let out a low cry. They quickly moved to both sides, some bowed their heads, some knelt down.
Chen Yuan continued forward and after a few steps, he saw from afar two graceful figures standing on the railing of an open-air plank road near the corner of the cliff, forming a beautiful scenery in the snow and wind.
A woman in colorful clothes seemed to sense the gaze and turned her head, giving a surprising glimpse.
The other woman was wearing a blue palace dress. She used her beautiful white and slender hand to fiddle with the snowflakes dancing in the air. Her expression showed a little surprise.
"I didn't expect that this ninth mountain, though not very high, is actually very beautiful and has a spiritual aura. It's a bit strange!"
"Sister, can you figure out what's going on?"
As the woman was speaking, she turned her head and saw that her friend was not moving, but was looking in a certain direction. So she turned around and saw a blurry figure in the wind and snow, which gradually became clearer.
He has a handsome appearance, a graceful figure, and golden vertical lines between his eyebrows, revealing a majestic and divine aura!
Dugu Jialuo's narrow and long phoenix eyes curved slightly, her gaze became bright, and the corners of her mouth smiled slightly.
The rightful owner is here!
On the opposite side, the figure finally approached.
Chen Yuan brought Yun Tiansheng in front of the two women. His eyes fell on Qin Rushuang, and he also glanced at the beautiful woman next to her, and said with a smile:
"Miss Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"
"Mr. Chen is very busy and didn't fulfill his duties as a host. Please don't blame me."
He knew that Qin Rushuang stayed in Jinguan City.
Although the specific identity of this woman from the Imperial Capital is unknown, she joined the demon battlefield halfway through and fought side by side with them. She helped a lot, and Chen Yuan had a good impression of her.
Qin Rushuang felt a little embarrassed when she saw Chen Yuan coming out to greet her personally. "Rushuang knows that the general is busy, so I didn't dare to bother you."
"My sister wanted to enjoy the snow scenery in the mountains, so she delayed some time and asked the general to come out in person."
"Miss Qin is so distant." Chen Yuan then looked at the bright and beautiful woman next to her. She was wearing a light blue palace dress. It was originally plain and elegant, but she wore it to look hot and charming. He asked, "Who is this?"
Dugu Jialuo narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly as she looked at her friend next to her who looked well-educated and well-mannered.
Something is wrong!
There's something wrong with Sister Qin.
Qin Rushuang's name contains the character "Shuang" (frost) in it. When had she ever treated a young man like this?
When Dugu Jialuo saw Chen Yuan asking about her, she looked at Chen Yuan with her bright eyes and then laughed.
"Dugu Jialuo!"
"I have heard from Sister Qin about the general's many heroic deeds on the battlefield."
As she spoke, Dugu Jialuo turned her gaze towards Qin Rushuang, with a hint of teasing in her smile.
Qin Rushuang knew her sister's temperament well. Her expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes and brows.
Chen Yuan looked at the woman in blue in front of him. Her eyes were bright and ostentatious. She was not afraid to look him in the eye. Her aura was even stronger than Qin Rushuang's. She stepped into the Daotai, and he was a little surprised.
It seems like this is another person who comes from a noble family in the imperial capital!
In comparison, the martial arts practice in Shu is extremely poor compared to that in the Central Plains. If the younger generation can break through the barriers, they will be called the best. However, the young masters from the Central Plains that he has met so far are more powerful than each other and each one is like a dragon.
"Nice to meet you."
Chen Yuan nodded, not dwelling on this woman, and then looked at Qin Rushuang and asked directly,
"I heard that Miss Qin has something to discuss?"
"Ah."
Qin Rushuang raised her eyelids and looked at Chen Yuan, with hesitation on her beautiful face, as if she was thinking about how to start.
Chen Yuan felt a little strange about the other party's expression and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
In the end, a fiery voice next to me took the lead.
"Since when has my sister become so boring? Just say what you need to say."
As she spoke, Dugu Jialuo attracted Chen Yuan's attention and chuckled, with her clothes trembling on her chest. "General Chen, what do you think of the court today?"
What do I think?
I stood and watched.
Chen Yuan's eyebrows tilted downwards.
"Miss Dugu, what do you mean?"
"The court has sent a new demon-suppressing envoy, who was appointed not long ago." The woman smiled, her beautiful eyes moving, the dark green three-flower mark in her pupils flickering faintly, capturing the expression on Chen Yuan's face.
To her disappointment, Chen Yuan was not surprised or angry at all when he heard this, but just frowned.
"Why didn't Fusi receive the news?"
"The fortune of Shu is recovering. I think there will be great changes. Several major forces in the court are competing with each other, and finally they jointly nominate one person. The news has not spread in the imperial capital yet because it is of great significance."
"So that's it!" Chen Yuan nodded.
This made Dugu Jialuo, who was originally ready to watch the "show", choke on her breath. She raised her beautiful eyebrows, and the three flower marks in her pupils flashed a seductive light. She stretched out her tone, "General Chen is not angry?"
"Why is Mr. Chen angry?" Chen Yuan smiled as if to say something, not to smile, seeing that Miss Dugu's inquiry was so obvious.
"This position should belong to the general. I heard from Sister Qin that General Chen defeated the demons on the battlefield and stabilized the war situation. After returning, he quickly put down the rebellion and organized the children of various families to fight against the demons on the front line. He was highly regarded by the people. Now the court has put your contribution aside and does not care about the lives of the soldiers on the front line. Shouldn't the general be angry?" Dugu Jialuo's beautiful eyes were shining.
"Haha, after hearing what Miss Dugu said, it is reasonable for Chen to take this position." Chen Yuan smiled and nodded, then turned his face to the side.
"Tian Sheng, pass the order down. All the troops of the Ninth Mountain are under martial law. Send a message to the troops recruited from various prefectures to hurry on their way. In addition..."
When he said this, Chen Yuan paused, his tone was uncertain.
"Send a letter to the general guarding Tianxiong Pass. If you encounter the newly appointed Demon Suppression Envoy leading troops into the pass, send an urgent message to me eight hundred miles away!"
"promise!"
Yun Tiansheng seemed like a machine that obeyed orders. Even though the order issued by Chen Yuan contained some shocking information, he remained expressionless and retreated as ordered.
"General, are you planning a rebellion?"
Dugu Jialuo's beautiful eyes brightened instantly, and she uttered shocking words, as if she was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
"General Chen!"
Qin Rushuang's face turned stern, and then she quickly pulled her friend and couldn't help but lean forward halfway, "Don't listen to Sister Jialuo's nonsense. Rushuang fought side by side with the general and knows the general's character. This matter involves too many relationships, and the general must not be reckless."
Seeing Qin Rushuang so anxious, Dugu Jialuo wanted to tease her. When she told him the news yesterday, she was furious and she had to persuade him. Now, the roles were reversed.
However, she took back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. It was rare for her to see Qin Rushuang like this, so she couldn't go too far. Her beautiful eyes flickered over the Ninth Mountain General, but she still restrained herself a little.
"Sister Qin is right. I am a straightforward person. I hope General Chen doesn't mind."
"Giggle!"
Seeing the two beautiful women, one cold and eager, and the other as charming as a fox, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, Chen wants more people from his court to come, the better. After all, Chen is just a warrior, how can he handle such a big plate."
As he spoke, his tone became lighter and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"As for the position of the Demon Suppressor, it has been so long since the demons broke through the barrier, and I have already guessed the attitude of the court. No matter why they come, as long as the troops they bring can go to the front line and resist the demons, I welcome them!"
"hehe"
What Chen Yuan said was true. The Demon-Suppressing Envoy was the highest commander besides the Demon-Suppressing General, equivalent to the positions of the chief and deputy. He was directly appointed by the imperial court and could be considered a high-ranking official in a region.
Not to mention that he had returned to guard Jinguan City these days, and there had not been any news from the court about the position of Demon Suppression Envoy. Even though the demons had been breaking through the barrier for so long, the court had not taken any action except sending two eunuchs to die in vain. It didn't care about the life and death of these people at all.
He had long given up hope in the court!
As for the new Demon Suppressor taking office, haha.
Chen Yuan was smiling, and it was hard to tell whether it was real or not.
About an hour later,
Qin Rushuang and Dugu Jialuo came out of the Zhonglang Hall, where the fire was crackling and the room was warm and pleasant, and said goodbye to Chen Yuan.
Then, the two women did not walk to the top of the mountain as they did when they came, but instead jumped into the wind and snow at the foot of the mountain, their clothes fluttering like fairies dancing. Outside the hall, many soldiers and servants on duty could not help but look up.
The two women had elegant temperaments and were truly the most stunning beauties in the world. He couldn't help but envy them. Only a big shot like the general could have access to such women.
At this moment, in front of the two women flying down the mountain, a silver token flashed, leading them through the layers of forbidden light curtains hidden in the wind and snow.
"Sister, do you think it is possible for General Chen to rebel?" Dugu Jialuo had narrow eyes and a look of interest on her face.
"I have known General Chen for some time. He cares for his soldiers and has compassion for the people. He will not let the situation become more chaotic. He is a man of great courage." Qin Rushuang shook her head and raised one of her bare hands to bless the token in front of her with spiritual light.
"Haha, my dear sister, let's put things one way or the other. I see this general says he welcomes the new Demon Suppressor, but do you believe it? If the one who comes provokes General Chen, he will rebel without hesitation." Dugu Jialuo said meaningfully.
"Sister Jialuo, this was only your first meeting with the general. Why are you so sure?" Qin Rushuang did not argue. She felt helpless. She thought it was just her sister's personality. After all, she had done many sensational things in the capital, and she could be very crazy when she went crazy.
Dugu Jialuo did not answer, because she felt the shadow of her father in this Zhonglang General, a kind of rebelliousness in his bones. Thinking of this, her beautiful eyes turned and fell on the silver token, and she smiled charmingly.
"Good sister, how about giving me this token? I am interested in this Zhonglang General."
Qin Rushuang's face changed slightly. This crazy woman wanted to be my grandma, but she shouldn't harm anyone.
"no!"
She refused, then realized she had refused too quickly and said,
"This is a military stronghold, it's not easy to transfer it, and..."
This token was given to Qin Rushuang by Chen Yuan when they were reminiscing about the past. From now on, with this token, she can enter and exit the Ninth Mountain freely.
She was about to say something, but a loud laughter as loud as a silver bell came from beside her. Qin Rushuang looked a little unnatural after laughing, and then she glared back angrily.
With that, along with the woman's bell-like laughter, the two women disappeared in the wind and snow at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, after the two women left, crackling sounds came from the brazier in the Zhonglang Hall of the Ninth Mountain.
Chen Yuan sat in the empty hall with a gloomy expression on his face.
The imperial court sent a new demon-suppressing envoy to Sichuan at this time. He, the General of the Household who was nominally guarding Jinguan City, would soon become a joke and his power would fall into the hands of others.
Judging from what the two women said, these people came here for the fortune of Shu. Chen Yuan would not expect these people to be polite to him, and they might even use ruthless methods against him who has initially taken control of Jinguan City.
After all, I was blocking their way!
Once he shows signs of weakness, the prestige he has worked so hard to gain will collapse in an instant, and those families that have relied on him are likely to turn against him or face a strong counterattack.
Chen Yuan knew that this was an inevitable trend.
There was no way to avoid all of this, but there was no anxiety or cowardice in Chen Yuan's eyes. Instead, there was a blazing fire in his eyes. He never got everything he had through the charity of others, but gained it by stepping on countless bones.
While he was thinking about countermeasures,
"Deng deng deng"
Outside the empty hall, footsteps were heard.
Immediately afterwards, a soldier in a white robe came in.
"General!"
"The head of the Jin family, Jin Mingquan, is already waiting outside the Xuntian Palace."
Military officer Gao Yu came to report.
Chen Yuan's tone was just indifferent.
"Make him wait!"
Then he stood up, with a cold light in his eyes.
"Put aside the rest of the chores for now and focus on what I have told you to do. I will see results soon. Those places that have shown abnormalities must be tightly sealed off and no one is allowed to approach. If you are short of manpower, you can pass on my order to mobilize the soldiers of the Ninth Mountain. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!"
Gao Yu stepped back, and Chen Yuan disappeared from the hall.
After a while, he appeared in a villa on the hillside of the Ninth Mountain. It was similar in style to the one on the main peak, but a little smaller in size and was usually used to entertain guests.
When Chen Yuan appeared at the door of a hall.
He saw a scene that made his eyelids twitch.
In the hall, the North Sea Dragon Girl and Huan Long were eating and drinking delicacies from land and sea.
One is a drunk old man, and the other is a big-eating girl who is busy eating.
Chen Yuan even doubted whether the treasure trove he had accumulated could hold out if these two continued to consume it.
When Old Man Dong heard the noise, he turned his red face and looked at Chen Yuan dazedly with his drunken eyes. He burped and smiled.
The girl stopped eating embarrassedly and stood up from the table.
Chen Yuan's eyes sparkled.
"Senior, it's time to raise a dragon!"
