Chapter 315: When it comes to living off others, I'm still not as good as you
On June 18th, the 20th year of Yuankang in the Great Qin Dynasty, the weather was clear and sunny, suitable for travel.

Zhengyang County, on the bank of Guangling River, Fengling Ferry.

Three official ships docked at the ferry, their sails slowly raised.

On the third deck, Zhao Yu, wearing a jade-white dress, waved high to Zhang Yuan who was standing at the ferry.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang. Although I am just a temple servant, I know how to repay a favor." Yu Kuizhen, who was wearing a black robe and a hood, spoke softly beside Zhang Yuan.

"Princess Yuruo will be able to assist Noble Concubine Qi with all her might."

Zhang Yuan nodded, raised his hand, and handed over a palm-sized piece of armor with a faint golden glow.

Seeing the armor plate, Yu Kuizhen's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "The Nine-Turn Wheel of Heaven and Earth!"

This treasure was a treasure collected by the Imperial Household Department, and he took it out when he was on a mission.

During the Northern Yan period, the Nine Wheels of Heaven and Earth was seized by the Northern Yan Emperor Murong Zhao, and was later shattered by Zhang Yuan in a great battle.

Yu Kuizhen certainly felt regretful about losing such a treasure, but after all, it was a loss in the battle with Murong Zhao, so he could explain it when he returned to the imperial city.

But no one expected that Zhang Yuan would take out this treasure at this time, and it was still intact.

You have to know that this kind of treasure can greatly improve his combat power.

"I asked Huang Laoliu to refine this thing again. It's much more powerful than before." Zhang Yuan handed the Nine Revolutions Wheel over. Yu Kuizhen took it solemnly and whispered, "Brother Zhang, you are so thoughtful."

Zhang Yuan nodded and took out another jade pendant.

"Since you call me Brother Zhang, this jade pendant contains a technique of controlling swords from the immortal way. It will be useful for you to use the Nine Revolutions Wheel. You can take it and study it."

Yu Kuizhen's face was filled with surprise and emotion, and she said softly, "I, actually, it's me who is marrying above my station. I'm just a monk..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan reached out, patted his shoulder, then chuckled and walked aside.

Standing there, Yu Kuizhen's eyes twitched, and after a long time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandmaster Dragon Elephant."

Zhang Yuan's final slap revealed a hint of dragon-elephant-level power, causing Yu Kuizhen's entire body to stiffen.

This trace of power passed through his body, allowing Yu Kuizhen to break through the bottleneck of the Grandmaster level, which was of great benefit.

Turning to look at Zhang Yuan, Yu Kuizhen lowered her head slightly, tightly grasped the Nine-Turn Wheel and Jade Pendant in her hands, and walked quickly towards the official ship.

He understood what Zhang Yuan meant by giving him the treasure and showing off his Dragon Elephant Realm cultivation.

What Zhang Yuan was most concerned about, of course, was Princess Yuruo, who had entered the imperial city and had little to rely on.

If Yu Kuizhen could take good care of Princess Yuruo with all his strength, he would have a Dragon Elephant Grandmaster as his brother.

Among the five countries and three regions in the world, how many people are at the Dragon Elephant Realm?
Regardless of Zhang Yuan's identity, his cultivation alone makes him one of the most powerful people in the Qin Dynasty, someone the court would never offend!

On the riverbank, watching Yu Kuizhen leave excitedly, Han Xiao sighed softly: "You are right, if I stayed in Luyang Prefecture, I would never be as good as you."

"Master Zhang, you are so righteous and righteous, you really can make everyone respect you..."

Han Xiao, a court official with a strong background, looked down on those in charge of the Imperial Household Department and felt that they were far inferior to the Black Ice Platform.

But Han Xiao had to admit that Yu Kuizhen, a third-rank official in the Imperial Household Department, did have unimaginable means and power in the imperial city.

"Teacher may be stationed in the Eastern Territory. If we can suppress the Qi-Wei coalition this time," Han Xiao turned to look at Zhang Yuan and whispered, "he will definitely take charge of the Ministry of War."

The one in charge of the Ministry of War is the Minister of War, one of the Six Heavenly Officials and a second-rank official of the Qin Dynasty.

If Zhou Chang could reach this point, he would be one of the most powerful figures in the Qin court.

As his close disciple, Han Xiao could certainly use his power to rise to the top.

As for him mentioning this matter in front of Zhang Yuan, it was of course an opportunity to tell Zhang Yuan that joining Zhou Chang was the right choice.

"Eastern Territory, I remember it."

Zhang Yuan looked calmly at the slowly moving official ship.

"I will go."

Of course Zhang Yuan will go.

Under orders from the Marquis of Changning, he was to reorganize the Black Ice Terrace's military forces and the martial arts community in the three prefectures before being transferred to Donghan Prefecture as a Fourth-Rank Pacification Envoy. The Black Ice Terrace was intent on integrating the Wuwei Yamen and restoring its former power, and Zhang Yuan's presence was crucial.

Especially recently, Zhang Yuan has killed many masters in succession, causing a stir in the world. The names of Black Ice Platform and Black Cavalry are becoming increasingly powerful.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's promise to go to the Eastern Territory, Han Xiao smiled, bowed, and walked towards the official ship.

The three official ships, as well as Ouyang Shucai, Pingyun Hou Xun Huo, the head of the delegation Xiao Lou and others, also returned to the imperial city.

Zhang Yuan watched the official ship sail away from the shore, then he sighed softly and turned to leave.

He was decisive in killing and acting, and rarely felt as melancholy as he did now.

Sure enough, women will affect the speed of drawing the sword.

------------------

Luyang Prefecture.

Yulin Academy.

In the backyard, Zhang Yuan sat opposite Mr. Tao, who was wearing a cloth robe.

Master Tao is in good health now and has some skills, but he still needs to rest to recuperate from the injury to his heart meridian. He is not as weak as before.

"Earl of Military Merit, Commander-in-Chief of three towns, Guardian of a county, I never thought you could make it this far..."

Looking at the scroll spread out on the table, Master Tao spoke softly with emotion on his face.

He and Zhang Yuan survived from Toyota County and walked forward step by step. Although they had many plans, they never thought that Zhang Yuan could get to this point.

"Based on the merits you've accumulated in Black Ice Terrace over the years, you should be able to get a seventh-rank civil servant position." Zhang Yuan looked up at Master Tao and whispered, "It won't be difficult to get promoted step by step from now on."

Although Zhang Yuan's achievements were mostly earned through his bravery, Master Tao was often behind the scenes plotting.

Without Master Tao's dedication over the years, helping him plan and train useful people, Zhang Yuan would not have been able to reach this point.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Master Tao smiled and waved his hand, looking at Qin Yuqing who was boiling water and pouring tea not far away.

"Why should I be an official? My Yuqing can be an official."

"I'm good at living off women."

As the commander of the three towns' military, Zhang Yuan returned to Luyang Prefecture. The Zhengyang County Supervisory Office arranged for Qin Yuqing to return to Luyang Prefecture, mainly to help Zhang Yuan integrate information.

Qin Yuqing's connections, background, and methods of doing things are rare.

Besides, Black Ice Taichung is well-informed.
Outsiders may not know that Master Tao is the strategist hidden behind Zhang Yuan, but how could Yu Zhentang and Hu Liucheng not know him?

How could Heibingtai not know about the affairs between Qin Yuqing and Master Tao?
Qin Yuqing and Qi Yue were transferred away because Xiao Renguang surrendered. Now that Xiao Renguang has left the northern border, it is okay for Qin Yuqing to return to Luyang Prefecture.

Qin Yuqing brought the teacups over and said as she distributed the tea, "Lord Qingyang, I have already sent a message to the Black Ice Platform spies in the Imperial City. As soon as Princess Yunuo arrives in the Imperial City, there will be a message from them."

"I discussed this with Wang Qinian yesterday. He will go to the Imperial City and lay out some lines first."

"Given your potential, it's a sure thing that you'll go to the Imperial City one day."

Looking up at Zhang Yuan, Qin Yuqing said softly, "Although there are some twists and turns in your relationship with Princess Yunruo, there is no need to worry."

Hearing Qin Yuqing mention Princess Yuruo, Master Tao, who was holding a teacup, looked up at Zhang Yuan with admiration on his face.

"When it comes to living off others, I'm still not as good as you."

Qin Yuqing beside her laughed along.

Zhang Yuan smiled and shook his head, holding the teacup and drinking tea gently.

Whether in the martial arts world or in the imperial court, all the killing and fighting cannot compare to the tranquility of drinking a cup of tea in Yulin Academy.

Over the years, he and Master Tao have really become accustomed to the peaceful and ordinary life in Luyang Prefecture.

"Let's not talk about whether I'll be a freeloader for now. First, help me figure out how to feed the entire Wuwei and the upcoming Three Towns soldiers."

Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and looked at Master Tao.
