Patrol Captain

At dawn that day, after all the noise had subsided, Chen Yuan brought the phoenix coffin and stepped into the ancestral mountain again!
With the coffin concealing the aura, the grave mountain remained peaceful and quiet without any disturbance this time.

But he had experienced the pros and cons of this mountain and did not explore it in depth.

Now, through the clues of what he had seen and heard, he slowly pieced together a puzzle and made some guesses, but he had no intention of taking the risk to explore what the connection was between this mountain and the forbidden land of demons, or what secrets existed inside.

He just needs to take advantage of the situation to achieve his goal!

He cast a spell and engraved four pictures from the General Mountain God Coffin in the burial soil of this mountain!

The first picture shows a group of people leaving a place that looks like a palace in the clouds, with three big characters written on it.

The second picture shows this group of people fighting against demons. The fight was so fierce that it shocked the heavens and the earth, and among them were the Ten Evils.

The third picture shows that one of the men died in battle, and his companions went to a sacred mountain to kill a phoenix, found a sacred paulownia tree, used it as a coffin, and buried the man inside.

In the fourth picture, on a snowy day, the dead person in the coffin suddenly opened his eyes!
Not to mention, these four engravings do not look out of place with this mountain of graves. The engravings are filled with an ancient and mysterious aura that is not possessed by Chen Yuan himself.

It seems that the story happened here!

The three mysterious seal characters on the palace above the clouds are the Baiyujing mentioned by Huanlong!
This is the heavenly residence that only exists in legends and attracts countless martial arts masters!

Chen Yuan copied out four engravings and deliberately hid them on several tombstones. He did not stay even a second longer and left the ancestral mountain.

This move will only be interesting if it is revealed at a specific time! Now is not the time yet!
Chen Yuan went out and came back, and the soldiers guarding outside the carriage were completely unaware.

"Lu Ming!"

"I'm here!" Lu Ming, who had been holding a sword and waiting beside the carriage to take orders at any time, responded.

"From today on, you will be responsible for sealing off this mountain. No one is allowed to approach. Anyone who trespasses will be killed."

"I will set up a teleportation array here, directly leading to Fusi!"

He didn't want his arrangements to be exposed in advance by some intruders. Although the probability was very small, no one in the world could guarantee that there would be no accidents.

Fortunately, the influence of this mountain is still within the controllable range. Although it is said that there is another sacred mountain after this ancestral mountain, no one has actually set foot there or found any treasures. Instead, it has gained a bad reputation.

"Yes!" Lu Ming took the order without hesitation.

"But, General, what should we do with those Beiliang people if they come out alive?"

"Come out?" Chen Yuan's eyes were full of teasing. "If they are really lucky, they probably won't appear here."

"If something really happens, find a way to keep the person here and report to the Fusi. Don't let anyone leave!" Chen Yuan's eyes flashed coldly, without explaining the reason.

"I will obey your orders!"

Inside the carriage, Chen Yuan hummed calmly, and then gave an order to the accompanying captain outside the carriage.
"Back to the city!"

As soon as the words fell, the excited neighing of horses was heard outside.

then,

"drive!"

"drive"

"drive"

The sound of horse hooves kicking could be heard, and then eight horses pulling the bronze chariot rumbled for a while, rolled over the soft snow, and flew away into the sky!

Not long after, Chen Yuan returned to the mountains!

As soon as he came back, he went straight into the villa on the hillside of the Ninth Mountain.

In a hurry, the cold and weathered face became lively when he entered the villa, especially after he pushed open the door of one of the rooms and heard the babbling sound like a lamb's milk. The ice on Chen Yuan's face melted and he revealed a gentle smile.

"An An!"

The door creaked shut, and the bloody storm, intrigues and deceptions outside were all kept out.

.........

The little one was asleep in the cradle, looking pink and tender, just like a porcelain doll.

There was a red rope hanging around the little guy's neck, and tied to the red rope was a golden scale the size of a fingernail!
It was a piece of dragon scale given to An An by the North Sea Dragon Girl!
"I have to go to the capital of God soon!"

"Someone from the imperial court is coming!"

Chen Yuan hugged An Ge from behind, who had just coaxed his daughter to sleep. Her plump body was as warm as jade, and the faint fragrance on her body made him feel inexplicably at ease.

Hearing this, the woman in his arms stiffened slightly, then turned around, her crystal blue eyes like lake water flashed with panic,
"General, can't we not go?"

She didn't ask what the people from the court said, but based on the current situation, the court would definitely not let it go easily.

Chen Yuan touched her face, which had lost a lot of weight after giving birth, and gave her a reassuring look.

"I know you're worried. An An is still young, so why would I take risks? I've already made arrangements, so don't worry."

"But you, who have given yourself to me, have never had a peaceful life, and you are involved in this. For the time being, your identities as mother and daughter cannot be known to too many people. You will have to work hard!"

"I know what the general means!" Ange didn't say anything else. She had fallen in love with Chen Yuan without realizing it. She turned her head and leaned on this broad chest.

Chen Yuan rested his chin on her hair, sniffing the fragrance between her hair, and hugged her tightly with his arms.

The two of them were affectionate for a moment, and soon someone came to the door to report.

"General, General Gao heard that you are back and said outside the courtyard that he has something to report to you!"

"Got it." Chen Yuan said calmly to the door, then apologized to An Ge.
"The whole Fusi is full of vitality now, and everything is flourishing. I don't need to worry about anything. The matter that is looking for me now is probably about those people from the court."

"General, please act with caution!" Ange warned.

Then Chen Yuan left the room and came to the outside of the villa.

Gao Yu, dressed in a white robe and dressed as a scholar general, was already waiting outside the courtyard gate.
"General, Xu Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple and Gou Jianshi of the Xuntian Division were looking for you yesterday, but were stopped by my subordinates."

"Also, the eunuch Li sent by Your Majesty confessed under your orders and told the purpose of his visit."

Chen Yuan waved his hand, "Commander Pei has already told me about this! Let's go and meet this eunuch!"

Gao Yu took the order and immediately led the way, walking in the air. After a while, they arrived at a courtyard at the foot of a mountain.

The courtyard is quite exquisite, with pavilions and terraces on the waterside, and it exudes an ancient charm, but it is filled with soldiers and is strictly guarded.

Chen Yuan's light faded, and he appeared in the yard. The guards were startled, and then their armors clashed and they fell to one knee.
"General!"

Chen Yuan's eyes fell on a room in the yard, then he walked through the armor and pushed open the door.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

And in the next second, there was a dull thud, and a person fell to his knees at Chen Yuan's feet, begging for mercy with a sharp voice like a duck.

"General Chen, I deserve to die, I deserve to die. I shouldn't have offended you. Please forgive me and let me go. Look at what has happened to my face! Ouch!"

The kneeling figure slapped himself twice while speaking, his voice almost crying. When he looked up, a pig-like face was right above his head.

Chen Yuan looked down and saw a face that was blue, black and swollen. He couldn't tell what the other person really looked like.

Chen Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that his soldiers had treated him well, but their methods were a bit rough.

But it’s extremely insulting!
But this guy couldn't blame anyone. He was in the Fusi of Shu, and it was a relief that he was not killed on the spot for offending the dragon and tiger.

He has no strength, but he wants to use his power to bully others in Chen Yuan's territory. It has to be said that this eunuch is really stupid.

He is so stupid and has no brains, no wonder he ended up like this!
If Chen Yuan didn't have some use for this man, he could have just found any excuse to kill him.

Chen Yuan looked at him with a playful smile on his face, "What are you doing, eunuch? Didn't I ask someone to treat me well? Why do you look like this?"

"It seems that my father-in-law's eyesight is not good, and he got hurt."

Li Huayu, the lamplighter, could hear the sarcasm in the words, but the Dragon and Tiger General dared to treat him like this, which showed that he didn't care about his status at all. Then his greatest support was gone, he was nothing, and anyone could kill him if they wanted to.

After a day of severe torture, he suddenly "woke up" and realized that his dignity was no longer there in the cannibalistic palace as his penis was scraped off by the old eunuch in the cleansing room. Now he could only lower his posture as much as possible and pray for his life.

As long as I survive and return to the capital, I will seek revenge as a gentleman, humph.

That’s why the contrast between before and after is so great.

To put it in a nice way, this is called being able to bend and stretch!
"General Chen, please spare me. I was just impulsive at the moment. I hope you will show some mercy." As he said this, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, without any of the posture of an emperor's attendant.

Chen Yuan squinted his eyes and stood at the door. The sunlight stretched his reflection. He watched the eunuch's clumsy performance. The resentment that flashed in the other's swollen eyes could not escape his discerning eyes.

He didn't care at all, and just spoke in a sinister tone, "I heard that your majesty has ordered me to make it clear to the world that I did not commit treason, and then go to the capital to plead guilty for the Patrolling Angel incident?"

Li Huayu's face trembled, and he quickly made amends, "The general killed three patrol angels. As the emperor, His Majesty naturally has to save face, but His Majesty also said that as long as the general is willing to admit his mistakes, he will not do anything to the general, and may even reuse him."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "General Chen, think about it, now that the three patrol angels are dead, isn't this just the right position to fill? You have great magical powers, and you came from the Patrol Heaven Department, maybe His Majesty has this in mind!"

This eunuch Li used the nonsense skills he learned in the palace and made up random stories. No one knew anything anyway. The only thing he had to do was to keep the gentleman in front of him calm.

When Chen Yuan heard that the eunuch didn't tell the truth, his eyes flashed with cold light.

"I'm afraid that your majesty wants to keep me safe and trick me into coming to the capital, and then find a reason to kill me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the entire room suddenly dropped, and an eerie chill filled the air.

These words frightened Li Huayu so much that he trembled all over and kowtowed to the ground.

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, no, no, the emperor has spoken, and nothing can be changed!"

He was really scared.

If he admitted now that he had any such intention, he would probably die on the spot. The terrifying murderous intent made him feel terrified.

"I will not believe you!"

"You are the only one who knows the emperor's order. Who knows if you harbor a grudge and are lying about it?" Chen Yuan had a blank expression on his face, but murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Somebody come!"

As the sound came, immediately, bang bang bang, a large group of armored soldiers rushed in aggressively, drawing their swords.

Li Huayu was so scared that he almost cried. He quickly fell to the ground and grabbed Chen Yuan's feet, "General, General, I dare not."

"How can you believe it?"

Chen Yuan raised his hand at this time, and the soldiers behind him who were drawing their swords stopped.

"Your Majesty is the emperor, and nothing in the world escapes his eyes!" He paused, "Your Majesty must know that I am wronged, and the oral order must be to clear my name and go to the capital to appease the people. Is that right, Eunuch Li?"

After saying that, Chen Yuan raised the corners of his lips and laughed.

His eyes were full of murderous intent as he stared at Li Huayu who fell to the ground with his pupils wide open.

Li Huayu was shaking like a sieve and sweating profusely. If he dared to say no, there would be no future. He could only squeeze out a few words with difficulty from his throat, with a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

When Chen Yuan heard the answer, the smile on his face deepened. He turned his head slightly and gave an order to Gao Yu who was standing behind him.

"Notify all civil and military officials of the Fusi to go to Xuntian Palace at noon and tell them that a special envoy from the court has arrived to deliver His Majesty's oral instructions."

"And turn on the thunder bell so that the people of the city can hear it!"

When Gao Yu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and then he hurriedly obeyed the order.

Chen Yuan glanced at Li Huayu, who was lying limp on the ground with a deathly pale face. He flicked his sleeve and a stream of green energy flew out, instantly restoring the other's swollen face to its original state.

Then he said calmly, "Help Eunuch Li to tidy up his appearance so that he can go to the palace later!"

"Yes!" The soldiers obeyed the order.

Time passed, and it was almost noon.
Chen Yuan appeared in the Xuntian Hall, and there were voices of two people talking in the hall.

"After all, Li, the lamp keeper, was sent by His Majesty. He has not been seen for a day. I hope Chen Longhu will show some leniency and give him a slight punishment. Don't make things too difficult for him." Xu Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple finally saw Chen Yuan again and pleaded for Eunuch Li, fearing that Chen Yuan would kill the lamp keeper.

Although this person does not know the seriousness of the matter, he is the one leading the team this time and he has to take responsibility if anything goes wrong.

"Yes, General Chen, please forgive my mistakes." Deputy Inspector Gou Yue also spoke cautiously.

The head of the seat, Chen Yuan, had a smile on his face.
"I'm afraid you two have misunderstood!"

"The Emperor's special envoy, how can I make it difficult for you?"

"Let's go. Almost everyone outside has arrived. Follow me and the civil and military officials of the Fusi to welcome this special envoy and announce His Majesty's order!"

Having said that, under the somewhat puzzled gazes of the two, Chen Yuan stood up from his seat and walked straight towards the entrance of the hall.

The door of the hall opened with a click.

At this time, outside in the square, officials of all ranks from the Fusi, dressed in official uniforms and armor, had already lined up.

Chen Yuan stepped in front of the officials.

At the foot of the mountain, several streaks of light flew over and landed in front of the formation, revealing the figure of Eunuch Li.

At this time, this man was dressed cleanly, his hair was neatly combed, and his face was so pale that it was a little scary.

Behind him followed two rows of ceremonial guards.

Then, under Chen Yuan's gaze, the man began to read out,

"According to the order of the Emperor of Daqian, after investigation, Chen Yuan, the ninth general of Jiannan Road, killed demons and monsters for the sake of the world, and did not plot a rebellion. It was a mistake."

This voice floated over the square and also resounded over Jinguan City! (End of this chapter)
