Chapter 314 I want to see if these people are qualified (asking for monthly tickets)
"The new Demon Suppressor has sent someone to deliver a message, asking you to come out of seclusion to welcome the emperor!"
After the messenger delivered this message, he lowered his head.
The air became eerily quiet.
The snow particles under my feet were rolled by the cold wind, and the black cloud-patterned cloak was also rustling.
Chen Yuan looked down from above, with golden light flickering in his eyes, and his voice was inarticulate.
"You want me to go out and meet him in person?"
"Yes, two days ago, the army of demon-suppressing envoys arrived at Tianxiong Pass first. The leading general conveyed the military order in the palace of Zhonglang at Tianxiong Pass, specifically asking you to go and welcome them. When General Wei received the letter, he sent his subordinates to rush over 800 miles to report to you."
"Where is the large army outside Tianxiong Pass now? Have you found out how many troops have arrived?" Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and his tone was neither hurried nor slow.
"When I arrived, the army had already reached the Wildfire Plains 5,000 miles outside Tianxiong Pass!"
"There are a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses, marching a thousand miles a day. It is estimated that they will arrive at Tianxiong Pass in three or four days." The messenger replied respectfully.
"150,000 soldiers and horses. It turns out that the imperial court can afford so many people."
Chen Yuan's face was gloomy, then he nodded, "You go down first, and return to the Fusi and wait for orders!"
"Yes!"
The messenger then quickly retreated, left the army formation, jumped onto the Falcon that landed on the snow, then flapped its wings, fanning up the wind and snow, and soared into the sky.
Chen Yuan took two steps forward, his eyes chasing the silver light that disappeared into the white sky and earth, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
The newly appointed Demon-Suppressing Envoy specifically asked him to go to Tianxiong Pass in person to welcome them, and the meaning behind this is intriguing.
At this critical juncture, asking myself to travel thousands of miles to welcome the emperor is actually a test.
I want to make myself aware of my responsibilities and give myself a warning!
If I don't go, what awaits me may be disobedience.
"Gao Yu"
"I am here." Gao Yu walked out from the surrounding square formations and stood with his hands clasped in greeting.
"Return to the Fusi and summon the civil and military officials to discuss the matter."
Gao Yu was a little surprised. He didn't know the news about the Demon Suppressor, but he summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter. It was obviously a big deal. What happened at Tianxiong Pass?
But he won't say much.
"The last general takes orders."
Having said that, he left in a hurry.
"Tiansheng." Chen Yuan called Yun Tiansheng over again.
Yun Tiansheng knew about this. He was right next to the general when he heard the news, but he never revealed a single word to the outside world and kept his mouth shut. At this moment, he probably guessed what the expedited call from Tianxiong Pass just now represented.
Chen Yuan's lips moved slightly, and after a few breaths, Yun Tiansheng also took the order and retreated. Then, a whistle sounded, and his soldiers went about their business.
When the soldiers and horses dispersed, two women who stood out from the crowd appeared, and at the same time, Chen Yuan's voice came to their ears.
"You two, please come forward and tell me. I have something to ask you!"
Qin Rushuang and Dugu Jialuo looked at each other when they heard the message, and then a slender figure flashed and appeared beside Chen Yuan.
"Hello, Brother Chen. The two of us are here to join in the fun. Sorry to bother you." Qin Rushuang bowed.
As for the address, during the last visit, Chen Yuan told him not to be too formal and just call him Brother Chen.
"General Chen, is it the demon-suppressing envoy sent by the imperial court?"
Dugu Jialuo guessed something, she was an extremely intelligent woman.
Chen Yuan smiled, flicked his sleeves, and put his hands behind his back, "Miss Dugu is indeed very smart. She just sent me a letter saying that the new demon-suppressing envoy will lead a large army to Tianxiong Pass in a few days, and asked me to go to Tianxiong Pass to welcome them."
When these words came out, the two women reacted differently. Qin Rushuang couldn't help but frown slightly.
Dugu Jialuo's phoenix eyes smiled, "It seems that the man surnamed Zhong is ready to make a move, and wants you, the General of the Central Army, who is the most powerful commander in Shu, to take the lead in expressing your opinion!"
This woman was very perceptive and guessed the meaning of this action.
"Surname Zhong?" Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, and became interested. "This is the surname of the demon-suppressing envoy. I was just thinking of asking Miss Dugu about the origins of these people and horses sent by the court."
"It was our first meeting last time, so it's not appropriate to dwell on it too deeply."
He never took the initiative to inquire about Dugu Jialuo's background, but judging from the other party's current performance, she was also a person of great background and was well-informed about the court.
Dugu Jialuo narrowed her beautiful eyes, slightly opened her sexy red lips, and spoke in a charming and pleasant voice.
"The three imperial families!"
"Huangfu, Gongyang, and Meng Family"
"The Huangfu family has a Bodhi Martial Saint who has lived for more than 400 years and is almost dying. It is said that in order to prolong his life, he crossed the Demon Kingdom in his early years and went to the Western Buddhist Land to ask for a Bodhi tree. He sat cross-legged under the Bodhi tree all year round, drawing a circle on the ground as a prison, in order to pray for the will of heaven. It is rumored that this old Martial Saint has died of old age, but my father said that he is not dead, but has not moved for many years and is almost growing together with the tree."
"The Gongyang family has a rare bloodline inheritance. After awakening, the blood is like silver mercury, and the body has strange phenomena. It can be trained to be an indestructible martial body, and the physique is stronger than that of demons."
When Dugu Jialuo mentioned this family, Qin Rushuang's eyes moved. Among the two people who went to the border with the Tai Changshi, in addition to her, there was a disciple of the Gongyang family, Gongyang Wu. When the three-headed Daoguo demon snatched the bronze tripod, this person also wanted to fight for it.
"The last Meng family, with three gentlemen, is determined to study the books of sages, and has students all over the world."
Dugu Jialuo recounted the origins of the three families, and from just a few words, one could hear the profound heritage of the three families.
When one reaches the sixth stage of cultivation, it is called the Dragon-Tiger Stage. The dragon and the tiger are in harmony within the body, and the Tao follows the laws of nature. However, different schools of thought call it differently. Confucianism calls it a gentleman, Buddhism calls it a Vajra, Taoism calls it a mountain man, and so on. As for the seventh stage, one can be called a saint or an ancestor in the world.
The Bodhi Martial Saint who has lived for more than four hundred years, the Meng family with three gentlemen, and the inherited family with its own bloodline.
They all sound very difficult to deal with.
Chen Yuan's eyebrows twitched, "What about the surname Zhong that the lady mentioned just now?"
"He is the new Demon Suppressor. He is a person recommended by the three families or several families. Before he was appointed as the Demon Suppressor, he worked in the Sky Patrol General Office. He has good relations with the three families. He has extraordinary means and is very powerful."
"Zhongli is the Demon Suppression Envoy, and the other three families are deputy commanders of the three armies. That's all I know."
When Chen Yuan heard this, his eyebrows suddenly darkened, "Three deputy positions?"
Commander Pei is one of the three deputy commanders under the Demon Suppressor. The other two have fallen, so there are only two vacancies for deputy positions. Now that there are three deputy positions, it is obvious.
In an instant, a surge of anger quickly rose up and surged in Chen Yuan's chest!
Like before, Dugu Jialuo joked that the Demon Suppressor should have been his, but was snatched away by someone else. He did have some resentment in his heart about such words, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, nothing can be achieved as a matter of course. If your background and strength don't match, you can only become a clown. The only way is to rely on your own strength to become stronger and make others fear and respect you. You don't have to say anything, others will arrange everything for you.
But if Pei Yanhu's position was taken, it would be tantamount to a slap in the face of the entire Yunding Mountain and so many dead soldiers.
When the first wave of demons broke through the border, Commander Pei, under the pressure of the Demon Suppression General's resistance to the Demon Kingdom and the death of the Demon Suppression Envoy, commanded the mobilization of troops from all directions and went to the front line to fight to the death. His own son died in the battle, and he also went to the border to guard it in person.
However, these people divided the cake in the court and wanted to make a major change in Shu, take the throne themselves, and leave aside the dead soldiers and those stationed on the front line.
Fuck you!
Chen Yuan had been trying to maintain the calmness and composure of a commander, but he couldn't tolerate this kind of thing!
Dugu Jialuo and Qin Rushuang felt a terrifying aura erupting from Chen Yuan. Then they saw Chen Yuan's eyebrows raised, and the golden vertical lines between his eyebrows were filled with majestic light. His pretty face changed slightly.
"Brother Chen!"
Qin Rushuang spoke and couldn't help but take a step forward.
But Dugu Jialuo stopped him, shook his head, and then spoke loudly,
"General, what is this?"
Chen Yuan did not hide the fire in his eyes at all, and said every word.
"Go to Tianxiong Pass!"
"They have come to this position by stepping on the corpses of their fellow mountain-cutting soldiers."
"I want to see if these people are qualified!"
As he said this, he stamped his feet, leaped into a stream of light, and disappeared into the wind and snow.
