Patrol Captain

The meaning of Chen Yuan's words was very clear.

If he was still a Musashi, the imperial court would definitely use cruel means, just like sending people this time to kill or imprison those involved.

But now, he is in a position of power and is not a fish on a chopping board to be slaughtered at will. Even if he kills the patrol angel and the court is furious, he will probably have to consider the pros and cons this time.

All the excitement in the world is for the benefit.

He didn't believe that the court was full of fools. It could be seen from the fact that the three royal families wanted to share the Shu cake that those people were good at calculating and would not necessarily fight to the death with him.

But this is not the end of the matter. If I openly kill the imperial patrol angels, there will always be some trouble.

Therefore, he must prepare his backup plan early!
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, the eight people present understood his meaning and looked thoughtful. This was bound to cause uproar. They were also involved in this incident, which meant they were in the same boat with Chen Yuan. Naturally, they could not stay out of it, so they came together to find out what Chen Yuan had to say.

Yangshan nodded, stroked his beard, his eyes flickering with a dark light, "I roughly understand what General Chen means, but I still want to say that this matter is likely to become a fuse. The world is unstable now, and the general will be focused on countless people. He may be pushed to a certain height by some people, and then he will have no choice."

This hermit has a long-term vision. He can let the court go, but sometimes things are beyond one's control. It is foreseeable that this matter will spread far and wide, and when it falls into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives, it will add fuel to the fire. It is beyond his control, and it will cause even greater trouble.

Just like at the end of the dynasty, there was a man who just wanted to survive, so he shouted a slogan and took three or five men who didn't want to do labor service to rise up and kill a foreman. Then people from all sides responded and pushed this man to the front, forcing him to leave. In fact, this man's original idea was just to grab a bite to eat.

The name of "rebellion" is like a knife that kills people!

When the others heard what this hermit from Wudao Mountain said, their expressions changed and they looked at each other. Don't say it, this is really possible.

Chen Yuan's eyes also flashed with brilliance, his brows raised, his head leaned forward, his body slightly bent, like a tiger coming down the mountain, he spoke every word,
"That depends on how you play it!"

As he said this, the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped, and the eight Musashi felt goose bumps all over their bodies and a slight chill.

However, this kind of pressure soon disappeared. Chen Yuan changed the subject and his brows relaxed.
"But I would like to thank Brother Yangshan for reminding me. I will make preparations early."

"Now that we are facing internal and external troubles, the Ninth Mountain must prepare for war and give our men more bargaining chips."

"in addition,"

At this point, he paused, his eyes swept over the people present, and his tone became a little more serious, "Everyone is chivalrous and has followed Chen to fight in the Shiwan Mountains. It has been very helpful, otherwise Chen would not have come this far."

"Chen now has another Dragon-Tiger Secret Realm on his body, which he is preparing to build into a cave paradise. You can practice in it in the future, and perhaps you will gain some insights into destiny."

He said this, firstly to repay these great warriors, and secondly to win them over. He knew very well that some of these people were forced to do so by the situation, such as the three Taibao, and some of them had great righteousness, like Wudaoshan and the two sword sect masters, who stood with him, but when things were settled, they would probably go their separate ways.

Now the Ninth Mountain is supported by only him, and the strength of the troops under him is insufficient, so it is naturally not going to work.

Therefore, he needed to let these Musashi stay as helpers, but empty talk was meaningless, and he needed to give these people some rewards.

There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests. This statement may be hurtful to some chivalrous people, but it is an irrefutable truth.

It just so happened that he had a bargaining chip in his hand, which was the secret realm of dragon and tiger on the Xuanwu treasure ship!

Now, he has the Yinshan Holy Tree and this thing, which is just right for building a cave.

First, it can transform the Ninth Mountain into a paradise. Second, the Dragon-Tiger Secret Realm is very attractive to Musashi because of the opportunity of creation.

At the beginning, Old Man Dong and the three guards were very jealous, but because this secret land of dragon and tiger was polluted, they could only sigh in despair.

Now, Chen Yuan is now ranked among the Dragon and Tiger, and it doesn’t take much effort to eliminate these malicious pollutions!

After he said this, he looked around at everyone to see the expressions of the eight Musashi.

Obviously, when the few people heard about the Dragon-Tiger Secret Realm, their expressions changed to some extent, and their eyes showed a hint of excitement and suspicion.

There is actually a secret dragon and tiger realm on Jiuzhonglang’s body?
Hu Yanqing, the Mountain-Shaking Tiger among the three guardians, immediately explained to the others, "General Chen does have a Dragon-Tiger Secret Realm, which was obtained by chance. We went in there at that time, but it was polluted, which made us three brothers feel sorry. Now it seems that the general has solved the problem."

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with Hu Yanqing's explanation and nodded with a smile, "That's right."

"I will start working on this soon. I will find a cave to increase my bargaining chips. You can also rest in it and maybe gain some insights. This will be a blessing for Chen."

He said this sincerely.

"That's great, I couldn't ask for more." Old man Dong spoke first and took over the conversation with a smile.

He vaguely guessed Chen Yuan's intention, but did not say it out loud. He was very happy to support him. First, he and Chen Yuan were tied together because of the Dragon Girl. He followed him all the way. Second, of course, the Dragon and Tiger Secret Realm was very important to him, so he would not refuse it. For someone like him who was half a step away from becoming a dragon and tiger, how could he miss such a good thing?

But he was still secretly thinking in his heart that this kid had some conscience and didn't hide anything.

The others, like the three Taisui Mountain guardians, Yi Cangtian of Shu Mountain, and the goddess of Su Nu Sword Sect, would naturally not refuse. One of them was originally a Taibao who occupied the mountain and was the king of Yan, and the other was from Shu. They had a part in this matter and put a label on it.

On the contrary, Yangshan of Wudao Mountain looked hesitant. They were all smart people. He understood that Chen Yuan was trying to win over the hearts of the people, but no matter what, he participated in the battle of Zhennan Prefecture and admired the general's style of doing things. The fact of "rebellion" was indeed absurd.

But as a native of Wudao Mountain, he has to consider the sect's blessed land and worry about being implicated in this matter. This is also human nature.

Ling Yunzi next to him didn't say anything. Zhao Quanzhen's eyes were eager to do something, but he didn't say much, waiting for the decision of his uncle.

"Looking at Fellow Daoist Yangshan's expression, it seems that he is worried that Chen's troubles will be implicated in the sect?" Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

"Don't worry about it. You are all loyal and I respect you. You did not interfere in the affairs between me and the patrolling angels. You just did something righteous for the people of Shu. No one can arbitrarily put a hat on you. You can rest assured and recuperate in the Ninth Mountain. You can stay or go as you please."

Having said that, Yangshan no longer hesitated and waved his hand in greeting, "Then I will obey your command."

Chen Yuan was happy. Seeing more and more powerful people around him, he felt more at ease.
After chatting with everyone for a while about the current situation in Shu, everyone dispersed.

Chen Yuan was the only one left in the hall.

But this time, Chen Yuan's face was less gloomy, at least more and more people gathered around him.

After a while, he called Lu Ming in!
"General!" Lu Ming knelt on one knee, holding the sword with one hand and the other hand on the ground, extremely respectful.

Chen Yuan looked at him and said, "For this incident, select a group of loyal and brave people to go up the mountain as soon as possible. In addition, select those who are diligent and sensible to take good care of the Taoist friends who are recuperating in the mountains. Don't neglect them."

"Yes!"

"How are Liu Qing and Tiansheng's injuries now?" Chen Yuan lowered his voice, expressing his concern for the injuries of his two trusted subordinates.

"General, these two were the ones who suffered the most and their vitality was seriously damaged!" Lu Ming gritted his teeth and spoke with hatred.

"After swallowing the elixir you gave me, I managed to stay alive. I am still in a coma, but my condition is improving."

"Okay, tell someone to take good care of him. Once he wakes up, notify me!"

"Yes"

"Go!"

Lu Ming bowed and walked away, but after taking two steps, Chen Yuan remembered something.

"Go prepare some wine and food and send them to the pavilion in the backyard!" Lu Ming responded and quickly walked out of the palace.

Soon after, the sunlight moved to the zenith, and the warm sun was like autumn. Under a pavilion in the backyard of Zhonglang Hall, the stone table under the pavilion was filled with delicious dishes.

"Please come in, the general will be here soon!"

A voice was heard, and on the next door covered bridge, Lu Ming, dressed in red armor, led three people into the pavilion as instructed.

These three people are the three guardians of Taisui Mountain.
"Lu Qiqi, just the three of us?"

Hu Yanqing looked at the pavilion and saw that it was empty except for the three of them, so he couldn't help but ask Lu Ming.

"My general has ordered that I only invite the three of you to have a chat!"

Hearing this answer, the three guards were a little surprised and felt flattered.

Jiu Zhonglang didn't invite anyone else, he just invited these three.

Jin Yushan and the other two sat down and looked at each other, wondering why Jiu Zhonglang had invited them here.

Now the attitudes of these three people towards Chen Yuan are somewhat different from those in the Shiwandashan Mountains.

The three of them previously called Chen Yuan "Brother Chen", but now they unconsciously changed their name to call him Jiu Zhonglang again.

After seeing Chen Yuan advance to the level of Dragon and Tiger, slaying great demons and killing patrolling angels along the way, the three of them unconsciously lowered their postures and dared not call each other brothers anymore.

After all, in this world, the strong are respected.

After about half a cup of tea, a gentle laugh sounded among the three people.

"Sorry to have kept you three waiting!"

"Chen went to visit an old friend and stayed a little longer. Please forgive me!"

Jin Yushan and the other two stood up to greet them.
"It's an honor to be invited by Jiu Zhonglang. It's nothing." Jin Yushan said with a smile.

Chen Yuan pressed his hands and said, "You three have lived and died together with me in the Shiwan Mountains. How come you are so unfamiliar with each other? Sit down."

As he said that, he sat down in the empty seat reserved for three people.

Then, he flicked his finger and moved the wine jug on the table, then poured wine for the few people himself.

"Come on, let me toast to the three of you!" Chen Yuan raised his glass and gestured to the three people.

To be honest, the three of them felt flattered and a little uneasy that Chen Yuan personally poured the wine and toasted them.

Raise the cup and drink it all in one gulp1
When the cup fell, Jin Yushan's eyebrows twitched a little, and he asked tentatively,

"Jiu Zhonglang summoned the three of us, yes?"

Clearly, you all have already met this morning.

"Isn't the friendship between the three of you and me in the Shiwan Mountains worth a special banquet for me?" Chen Yuan said with a half-smile, looking at Hu Yanqing on the side.
"I wonder who said that after we go to the mountain, we will cut off a chicken's head and burn yellow paper with Chen?"

"Mr. Chen is a man of his word. I just wonder if you three still recognize him?"

"what?"

When the three guards heard this, their pupils widened and they were greatly shocked.

It was a great fortune that a dignified dragon and tiger spoke personally. The three men were moved. They did not expect that the General who was destined to stir up trouble in the world actually remembered this promise. After a brief surprise, they immediately stood up and clasped their fists.

"Big brother!"

"."

Time flies and two days have passed.

During these two days, Jinguan City suffered a major purge.

Some of the escaped Tianxing Army soldiers were captured, some families who turned against the army were completely uprooted, and various commendation orders also flew into the homes of ordinary people along with the large number of soldiers returning from the Fashan Army.

Meanwhile, the story of the earth-shattering battle that night was still very popular, but then, the news that the Ninth Mountain General had attacked the Shiwan Mountains and flattened a fierce mountain spread throughout the streets and alleys as the mountain-cutting army returned, causing an even greater shock and attracting countless people to cheer.

All the bad rumors about Jiu Zhonglang were drowned out by the cheers, and many wine shops and teahouses were filled with words of resentment towards the court.

And on that morning, in the area near Genting Mountain, the expeditionary army roared in unison, and a large number of soldiers blocked the entire Genting Mountain, not allowing anyone to approach.

On the other side, above the Zhonglang Hall on the top of the Ninth Mountain, Chen Yuan stood in the air, with an aura as vast as the ocean surging.

Above his head, there was a giant tree standing tall in the sky, magnificent and majestic, repairing the space where the battle took place that night.

At this time, in all directions of Zhonglang Palace, powerful figures were staring intently at the figure above their heads, with expressions of surprise or expectation in their eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan moved!
The rumbling sound was like rolling thunder.

Then, the originally clear sky changed color.

"Rumble"

As the energy surged, soon above Chen Yuan's head, a huge scroll of mountains and rivers appeared in the sky and rolled out.

A terrifying aura pressed down the void, causing it to rumble!

A secret realm of dragon and tiger is revealed!
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yuan pointed to the sky, and the Yinshan Sacred Tree that was fixed above the sky began to sway with a deafening sound, and the void also shook violently.

With this riot, the essence of heaven and earth quickly and frantically gathered towards this space!

Then, the entire Yinshan Holy Tree, like a giant finger holding up the sky, transformed into an incomparably brilliant silver light and fell wildly towards the painting of mountains and rivers above Chen Yuan's head!

"boom"

A deafening explosion!

The huge trunk of the Yinshan Holy Tree seemed to have sunk into an alien space and crashed heavily into the painting of mountains and rivers.

It was like the creation of the world, with the mountains and rivers exploding and turning into various colored spiritual lights.

Next, the Yinshan Sacred Tree will stabilize this secret realm of dragon and tiger, and Chen Yuan will soar into the sky, step into it, and create a cave heaven!
