I can bless thousands of magical powers.

In the early morning, a drizzle fell from the sky.

Riding on the red rabbit rouge beast, Zhang Yuan passed through the continuous rain and quietly left the gate of Shangjingtian Mountain.

His destination this time was Xiyuan, a thousand miles away, where he would serve as a general.

Zhang Yuan didn't have many friends in the sect, but he had quite a few enemies. Therefore, when he traveled thousands of miles to take up his new post this time, no one came to see him off - including Mo Huaian.

This true disciple of Lingyue Peak has gone into seclusion again.

But before the retreat, Mo Huaian specially sent someone to deliver a mount to Zhang Yuan.

That is the red horse under his crotch!

Sigh~
The horse rushed up the mountain path, raised its head and neighed loudly, spread its four hooves and swung its tail to gallop forward, carrying Zhang Yuan like a stream of fire.

The entire body of this Red Hare was the color of burning charcoal, without a single stray hair on its body. It was over ten feet long from head to tail, and eight feet tall from hoof to neck. It neighed and roared as if it was about to soar into the sea.

Just looking at its body shape and appearance, it is a first-class and handsome horse!

Zhang Yuan had a gray-fanged lynx for transportation, so he didn't need a horse mount.

But when he saw the red rabbit sent by Mo Huaian, he couldn't bear to refuse it and simply accepted it.

After all, when I was assigned to work in Xiyuan, I couldn't usually ride a ferocious beast in and out of the city, so it was more convenient and practical to bring a pony with me.

The most important thing is that this Red Hare is one of the top horses among all ordinary horses. Its speed is no less than that of the Gray-fanged Lynx. The only difference is its endurance and load-bearing capacity.

But speeding along with Zhang Yuan made him feel like he was flying in the clouds.

I couldn't help but feel a little more fond of him.

Accompanied by the Red Hare, Zhang Yuan traveled day and night and arrived outside Xiyuan City in the evening of the next day.

In fact, with the strength of this divine horse, it is no problem for it to travel a thousand miles a day.

But doing so would cause great damage to the Red Hare and could easily injure its hooves. It wasn't an urgent matter, so there was no need to rush.

Zhang Yuan did not encounter any accidents on the way and arrived at his destination smoothly.

Xiyuan City is located in the northwest of Shangjingtian, nearly a thousand miles away, and is the farthest Taoist city in the latter.

Zhang Yuan was selected to take up the post in Xiyuan, which was somewhat like being exiled.

This is actually quite normal.

Although Shang Jingtian has offered nine places for Taoist generals this time, Zhang Yuan is the only outsider. Without the strong support of the Mo family, it would be almost impossible for him to be among them.

Now that I have achieved success, I no longer have the right to be picky.

Although Xiyuan City is remote, it is not a dilapidated and poor place. On the contrary, this Taoist city controls an important road from the Western Regions into Daqian, and has a large population and developed commerce.

Caravans came and went on the highway connecting Xiyuan, and outside the city, there were farms everywhere.

As the sun sets, wisps of smoke come into Zhang Yuan's sight!
Zhang Yuan dismounted at the city gate.

As a Taoist city, although Xiyuan is the size of a county town, its city walls are tall and magnificent. The soldiers guarding the city are obviously different from ordinary Qian soldiers in both their dress and temperament.

Zhang Yuan noticed that the two teams of soldiers standing at the city gate all had a large "Tao" character tattooed on their chests.

This shows that they are Taoist soldiers.

While Zhang Yuan was observing these Taoist soldiers, a sturdy Taoist soldier keenly noticed his gaze and immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "You are not allowed to stay in front of the city gate. Do you want to enter the city?"

The Taoist soldier's eyes were filled with a strong sense of vigilance. If it were an ordinary person, he would have directly stopped him and questioned him.

Although Zhang Yuan looked ordinary, the Red Hare he rode was obviously a divine horse worth a fortune, so he was definitely not an ordinary citizen, and his words were quite polite.

Zhang Yuan reached into his bosom, took out his identity badge and shook it: "Xiyuan's new Taoist commander Zhang Yuan!"

"It turns out to be Lord Daojiang!"

The soldier was immediately horrified and hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying, "I am Luo Suo, the commander of the Xiyuandao camp, and I am here to greet you, sir. Please forgive me for any offense!"

"No need to be polite."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Captain Luo, please take me to the Dao Yamen."

Luo Suo bowed again: "Yes!"

Under the leadership of this captain and several Taoist soldiers, Zhang Yuan rode on his Red Hare again and drove straight into the city through the city gate.

The Xiyuan city is very prosperous. The wide streets are bustling with people. There are shops on both sides of the road. Waiters with local accents are enthusiastically soliciting customers at the door, and business is quite prosperous.

There are many business travelers walking on the street, as well as tough and sturdy gangsters among them. Performers, beggars, and vendors can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Zhang Yuan even saw several charming and beautiful Hu girls parading in front of him!
This city, which is close to the Western Regions, has a different style from ordinary county towns in Daqian.

The people on the street looked at Zhang Yuan with surprise, curiosity and even awe as he rode a fine horse and was escorted by Taoist soldiers.

These strange looks accompanied Zhang Yuan until he arrived at the Daoyamen.

Daocheng is a city allocated by Daqian to Daomai, just like a farm of a wealthy family. All affairs are managed by Dao officials appointed by Daoting.

Therefore, the county government office became the Daoist government office, where Daoist officials worked, lived and practiced.

The Taoist Yamen is located in the center of the city, with the Heavenly King Hall on the left and the Taoist Camp on the right. The three together have essentially become a city within a city, with strict defenses and good order.

However, when Zhang Yuan arrived, the gate of the government office was closed, and only the lanterns hanging in front of the gate were still lit.

Without waiting for Zhang Yuan's instructions, Luo Suo walked forward and knocked on the door.

The vermilion door soon opened a crack, and a white-haired head poked out from inside.

"Uncle Sun."

Luo Suo quickly apologized with a smile: "Please inform the lord that the new general Zhang Yuan has arrived."

The doorman Sun Bo said expressionlessly: "My master has already known about this and has specifically instructed General Zhang to come to the yamen tomorrow to meet with us. You should rest early tonight."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut!

Luo Suo was disappointed and came back to Zhang Yuan, saying, "Master Zhang, what do you think about this?"

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "It's okay, I'll stay in Daoying first."

Although Zhang Yuan went to the post alone and knew nothing about the situation in Xiyuan, a Taoist city, the Mo family provided him with detailed information when he left Shang Jingtian.

The current Taoist official of Xiyuan Taoist City is named Fei Hongming. He is a high-level wizard and has been in charge of Xiyuan for nearly ten years.

And Zhang Yuan was the fourth Taoist general during Fei Hongming's tenure!
The first two of them resigned normally after their terms expired, and the third one died an unexpected death, which allowed Zhang Yuan to fill the vacancy and be promoted.

Naturally, Zhang Yuan and Fei Hongming had never met each other before.

However, the attitude of this Taoist priest clearly showed that he did not welcome Zhang Yuan's arrival! (End of this chapter)
