Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 242 His Majesty's Secret Order
In the private room, sitting at the head of the table was Xun Huo, who was wearing a blue uniform. Next to him was the county magistrate Zheng Tianyuan, who was also wearing a blue-gray uniform and had a smile on his face.

On both sides were the county government sacrificial scholar Gong Yuzheng, the martial arts sacrificial scholar Ji Yuntang, the garrison commander Qin Muyang, Cao Chunbao, and Xiao Lou.

"Qingyang, come here. This is the Censor, Pingyun Hou Xun Huo. Pingyun Hou is the Associate Director of the Imperial Guards and a hereditary war marquis."

Zheng Tianyuan smiled and raised his hand to introduce Zhang Yuan.

"And this one, Lord Xiao of Xiaolou, is the Counselor of Jingzhao Prefecture, a disciple of the Privy Councilor, and the son-in-law of the Minister of Personnel."

"This is General Cao Chunbao, a lieutenant general in the Imperial Guard," Zheng Tianyuan said, raising his voice. "General Cao is from the Shanyue Sect and is its representative figure in the army."

"And this one is Wen Ge Zhengwen, the honorific director of the Gongfeng Hall, and this one is Yu Kuizhen, the director of the Internal Affairs Department."

Zheng Tianyuan was now feeling happy, and his voice was much louder.

This time, Zhengyang County used the martial arts trial as a breakthrough point and mobilized all the major forces in the martial arts world to participate.

The scale of the scene and the decisiveness of the killing are truly vivid.

The Xiantian realm fell like rain.

The Grandmasters fought fiercely, and the entire Red Dragon Ridge collapsed and cracked.

There is also the Black Tortoise transformed from the Eight Diagrams, and the Qiongqi gathered by the Black Cavalry.

This battle will at least shock the Zhengyang County martial arts world for twenty years.

Moreover, this time all the outstanding people from all sides were dispatched to watch the battle. I am afraid that the reputation of Zhengyang County will spread throughout the Qin Dynasty.

The provincial governor and several accompanying officials also witnessed it with their own eyes.

Look, this is the power of Zhengyang County. A martial arts trial is made into such a big deal. How can they say they can’t control the martial arts world?
From now on, any martial arts trial in other counties of Daqin will mention the achievements of Zhengyang County.

But who can come up with such a plan as Zhengyang County?

Who else can have the Black Cavalry to lead the charge and the formation to gather strength?
The atmosphere at the banquet was lively.

Whether it was Zheng Tianyuan or Zhou Zhengtong, the officials in Zhengyang County could not suppress their joy.

Hold the wine glass and drink it all.

Although Xun Huo and others looked much calmer, they were probably feeling a bit depressed besides feeling emotional.

Originally, they were prepared to sit back and watch the struggles of the officials in Zhengyang County.

What was unexpected was that Zheng Yangjun was really capable of creating such a grand scene.

Xun Huo and his team came to investigate the case, but it was a waste of time.

And when we return to the imperial city, we must help Zhengyang County spread its prestige.

Who told them to see it with their own eyes?

"Commander Zhang," Cao Chunbao, who was sitting opposite him, looked up at Zhang Yuan. His face was flushed with alcohol and also looked a bit solemn. "Have you ever practiced the Mountain Sect's techniques?"

His words made everyone in the hall turn their heads.

The original noise turned into silence.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "General Cao has a keen eye."

"When I was in Toyota County, Commander Yu Lin taught me the technique and gave me his cultivation base."

"Later, Grandmaster Liang Qiyuan came to Zhengyang County and taught me how to practice. Grandmaster Liang Qiyuan and I agreed that when the Shanyue Sect opened its doors, I would join it."

He is really from the Mountain Sect!
Cao Chunbao laughed out loud.

He had sensed it during his previous fight with Zhang Yuan that Zhang Yuan was from the Shanyue Sect. Now that he heard Zhang Yuan admit it himself, he naturally felt relieved.

Having such a master in our own sect will allow us to support each other in official circles in the future.

Even Xiao Lou and the others looked at Cao Chunbao with a hint of envy on their faces.

Zhang Yuan picked up his glass, toasted Cao Chunbao, and then, intentionally or unintentionally, told him his experience.

In a bloody battle in Toyota County, he learned martial arts from Yu Lin.

Growing between life and death, it was as if he had awakened, and his martial arts improved by leaps and bounds.

Entering Liangyuan Territory, they encountered many adventures, including treasures such as the Jade Buddha and Bodhi, which allowed them to cultivate their combat power and gain a deeper understanding of the battle formation.

Most of the things were true, but Zhang Yuan did not mention that his cultivation had reached the Grandmaster level.

He said that the foundation of his martial arts was passed down by Yu Lin before his death, and now there is no way anyone can verify it.

As for the teachings of Grandmaster Liang Qiyuan, they are true, and it is impossible for ordinary people to seek proof from Liang Qiyuan.

He experienced life and death, encountered many adventures, and was taught by a master.

In this way, the image of a young genius who is daring and courageous becomes more complete.

Zhang Yuan dared to kill because he had fought bloody battles in Toyota and was used to seeing life and death.

The fact that Zhang Yuan has reached such a high level of cultivation and combat power at such a young age is due to the training of Yu Lin, Liang Qiyuan and others.

"In this world of cultivation, there is really no suffering in vain, and there are no shortcuts..." Xiao Lou sighed softly, looking at Zhang Yuan and nodding slightly.

He also passed the official examination and worked his way up to the imperial city. He was admired by his teacher and trained by his father-in-law, but he understood the path he had taken and the hardships he had endured.

"With your potential and understanding, Junior Brother Zhang, it will be easy for you to become the second Grandmaster of our Shanyue Sect one day," Cao Chunbao said loudly. "When you return to the sect, I will attend the ceremony."

Since Zhang Yuan's cultivation foundation came from Yu Lin, he must join the Shanyue Sect.

What’s more, there is guidance from a master like Liang Qiyuan?
Zhang Yuan's recounting of these events not only made his identity clearer, but also brought him closer to the Censor and others.

At least Cao Chunbao now regards him as one of his own.

Moreover, as he was born in the Zaoyiwei of Luyang Prefecture, Zhengyang County, he rose step by step in Zhengyang County, and the government of Zhengyang County was his backing.

This martial arts trial and assessment was not just a test, but also a way to save the top positions of all officials in Zhengyang County.

"Yes, Qingyang, when you joined the sect, even if I couldn't go in person, I had to go to pay my respects." Xun Huo nodded and spoke with a smile.

"That's right. The government of Zhengyang County will also send gifts." Zheng Tianyuan said in a clear voice.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the lobby became more heated.

After three rounds of drinks, Yu Kuizhen, who had been sitting aside and said little, slowly stood up.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the lobby froze.

"My Lords, I have come to Zhengyang County on the orders of the Emperor."

His voice was feminine and echoed in the hall.

"The Northern Yan Zhenxi Army has gone back on its word and violated the alliance."

"The Heavenly Demon Palace of Northern Yan invaded Qin territory and wreaked havoc, injuring the soldiers and civilians of Great Qin."

"His Majesty's secret decree."

Secret decree.

Everyone stood up, their faces solemn.

Yu Kuizhen took out a golden token with a dragon pattern, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has ordered that the Northern Yan Heavenly Demon Palace is too arrogant and should be suppressed."

Suppress the Northern Yan Heavenly Demon Palace?
Everyone bowed their heads, and Yu Kuizhen's voice rose again: "Ouyang Ming, the son of Ouyang Shucai, the commander of the Zhenxi Army, is marrying the Princess of Beiyan. They are about to get married."

"By then, experts from the Northern Yan Heavenly Demon Palace will escort you."

"I hope this wedding day will be more exciting."

"My Great Qin's gift must be substantial."

Some things cannot be said openly.

The Zhenxi Army's petition for surrender was sent to the desk of the Qin Emperor, but in the end they failed to truly surrender.

This made the Qin Emperor very angry.

Especially this time, the strong men from the Northern Yan Heavenly Demon Palace went straight into the Guangling River, which made the emperor even more furious.

"Everyone, let's discuss how to relieve His Majesty's worries." Yu Kuizhen's eyes slowly swept over and landed on Zhang Yuan.
