I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Xiyuan City, Daoying.

In the White Tiger Hall, dozens of large tallow candles illuminated the entire hall in every detail.

Zhang Yuan sat in front of the sandalwood desk, reading the files in front of him attentively.

A burly warrior stood solemnly by the side, with a hint of respect on his square and masculine face.

After a long time, Zhang Yuan finished turning the last page of the file.

Lost in thought.

According to the regulations of Daqian and Shang Jingtian, the designated number of soldiers in the Xiyuan City Road Camp is 300, with an additional 700 auxiliary soldiers, for a total of 1,000 soldiers.

The duty of the Daoying was to suppress the local situation and eliminate evil, bandits and rebels.

In addition, Xiyuan Daoying has another important task, which is to guard against infiltration and invasion by foreign tribes from the Western Regions.

It can be said that the responsibility is heavy!
However, the Xiyuan Dao Camp that Zhang Yuan had just taken over had less than 200 soldiers and just over 300 auxiliary soldiers, which together were only half of the regular staff.

The shortage is very serious.

The other three hundred soldiers are standardly equipped with thirty captains and three deputy generals, but now there are only seventeen captains and one deputy general.

The deputy general was standing next to Zhang Yuan.

Before Zhang Yuan took office, it was this deputy general named Feng Hui who temporarily took over the position of the general.

Now that Zhang Yuan is here, this important task falls on his shoulders.

Zhang Yuan felt like he had taken on a hot potato!
According to the information provided by the Mo family, more than half a month ago, a group of horse thieves from the Western Regions frequently harassed the Xiyuan Trade Route, causing very heavy losses.

So his predecessor, the general, personally led two hundred soldiers and three hundred auxiliary soldiers to suppress the bandits, but a fierce battle ended in a loss for both sides.

The Taoist general dragged his seriously injured body and led the remaining troops back to Xiyuan, but he died in the Taoist camp a few days later.

Fortunately, that group of horse thieves was also completely defeated, otherwise when Zhang Yuan came to Xiyuan City today, he would not have seen such a prosperous scene.

But is this Taoist city really safe?

The answer is obviously no!

Because in recent times, there have been constant natural disasters and man-made disasters in Daqian. Although it has not yet reached the point where war is everywhere, there are alien races spying from outside and frequent rebellions inside, and the situation is very bad.

Even though Xiyuan City is a Taoist city, it cannot stay out of it!
The truth is that Xiyuan is now internally empty, which has made it a visible piece of fat.

It is not an exaggeration for Zhang Yuan to say that he took up the post in a time of crisis.

You have to know that his predecessor was also a sixth-level strongman, but he was seriously injured by a group of horse thieves and died.

It would be strange if there was nothing fishy here - what kind of horse thief is so powerful?
Zhang Yuan's mind raced as he put away the file and said, "Deputy General Feng, pass on my order. All the troops will be out for drill at noon tomorrow. I want to appoint a general to review the troops!"

Feng Hui, who was standing by, looked serious and immediately saluted and said, "As ordered!"

Then the deputy general quickly glanced at Zhang Yuan and said in a low voice, "Sir, I have booked a banquet at Chunjiang Tower in the city to welcome you. I wonder if you would do me the honor?"

interesting.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Since it is Deputy General Feng's intention, I won't spoil his fun. Let's go now."

Feng Hui was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, sir!"

He didn't expect Zhang Yuan to be so easy to talk to. Seeing that the latter was very young, he couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous.

In fact, Feng Hui was quite disgusted with Zhang Yuan's arrival.

He followed the previous Taoist general in bloody battles and finally wiped out the Western Region horse bandits who were causing trouble in the local area. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard. In the end, with the death of the Taoist general, all his efforts were wiped out.

Feng Hui knew that with his identity and strength, it would be impossible for him to be promoted to the position of Taoist general.

But he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan who was "airdropped".

Of course, Feng Hui did not show his thoughts on his face. No matter how aggrieved he was, he kept it in his heart and treated Zhang Yuan, his new boss, respectfully and politely. Under his guidance, Zhang Yuan came to what was said to be the best restaurant in Xiyuan City.

The Chunjiang Building is five stories high and stands out among the surrounding buildings. All floors are brightly lit, making it extremely eye-catching.

Accompanied by Feng Hui, Zhang Yuan climbed to the top fifth floor.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the floors below, the top floor of Chunjiang Building is undoubtedly more elegant and quiet.

Because there are no separate private rooms, it is spacious and luxurious.

The maids serving on the side were all very beautiful.

After Feng Hui asked Zhang Yuan to sit down, he told the maid to serve wine and food.

The deputy general apologized, "Sir, I didn't have time to prepare in such a hurry. I am the only one accompanying you tonight. Please forgive me for any inconvenience."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, this is good enough."

Zhang Yuan didn't like socializing in the first place. If Feng Hui really invited a lot of people to accompany him and said some insincere flattering words, it would annoy him instead.

“This is the most famous mountain monkey wine in Xiyuan.”

Feng Hui picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of jade-colored wine for Zhang Yuan. He said, "It is brewed from hundreds of fruits collected by monkeys in the mountains. It is very rare. You must try it, my lord!"

Zhang Yuan smelled the wine and felt it was good, so he happily raised the glass: "Good."

He drank the wine in the glass and was immediately moved: "Good wine!"

Although the name of this Mountain Monkey Wine is a bit vulgar, its taste is really excellent. It is soft, mellow and sweet. After drinking a glass, it actually makes people feel refreshed.

Feng Hui smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

Immediately afterwards, steaming hot delicious dishes were served.

Zhang Yuan and Feng Hui toasted each other with wine and chatted happily. As they drank, their relationship became much closer.

Feng Hui kept a low profile and behaved like a loyal subordinate.

The true thoughts are hidden very deeply.

However, the deputy general did not know that no matter how brilliant his performance was, he could not hide from Zhang Yuan's perception.

Zhang Yuan just found it funny.

He is just a fifth-level warrior who can be killed with just a finger. What use will it be no matter how many ideas you have?
In this world, the strong are respected, and whoever has the bigger fist holds the truth.

Feng Hui probably stayed in a place like Xiyuan for too long and had long lost his warrior's toughness.

He thought he could manipulate Zhang Yuan into his own hands by some tricks.

Little did he know that Zhang Yuan didn't take him seriously at all.

Of course, since Feng Hui was trying so hard to please him, Zhang Yuan would not spoil the mood at this time. He chatted and laughed with him and got to know the current situation in Xiyuan City.

The information obtained from the Mo family has passed through many hands, so there must be many omissions or outdated parts.

"Second Master, there really is a guest upstairs, please don't..."

"Go away!"

At this moment, there was a noise coming from the bottom of the stairs on the fifth floor.

There was also the loud sound of objects falling to the ground.

The next moment, accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps, a group of young men and women rushed up aggressively.

Feng Hui's expression suddenly changed! (End of this chapter)
