In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

"Is that General Chen?"

"My lords have been waiting for quite some time."

As soon as Chen Shan reached the door, an official came out and glanced at Chen Shan indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shan didn't hesitate and went straight forward.

The guards were waiting at the entrance.

Ministry of War.

As one of the Six Ministries, the Ministry of War was naturally in charge of military affairs, including finances, supplies, personnel transfers, and appointments. Basically, all officers and soldiers entering the capital, especially those of the rank of colonel or above, needed to come here.

Led by officials, they arrived at the hall in no time.

Looking up, three middle-aged men were sitting upright, their gazes all fixed on Chen Shan.

"Chen Shan, General of the Third Army Corps' Deficit Battalion and the Vanguard Battalion, is so young yet has so many achievements. We have witnessed his accomplishments."

The man in the lead spoke.

Chen Shan said calmly, "My lords, let's get straight to the point. What I did was nothing more than to gain military merit, and I have no interest in flattery."

"And I'm on leave this time."

Chen Shan's words were concise and to the point, leaving the three of them taken aback.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Chen Shan to be so direct.

"Indeed, a young man of great talent."

"General Chen, with your achievements, you are the best among the younger generation of generals."

"Although you already hold a military position, would you be willing to take up a post in the capital?"

"This position in the capital does not conflict with your military post, nor will it interfere with your marching and fighting."

Hearing this, Chen Shan's gaze swept around.

"I don't know your identities, sirs. I've heard that the capital is a treacherous place, and if you accidentally choose the wrong side, you'll suffer a great loss."

Chen Shan's directness and attitude caught the three of them completely off guard.

I've seen things that are direct, but I've never seen anything this direct.

"I am the current Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and this is the Left Vice Minister. He is the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

After the right-hand officer introduced himself, Chen Shan had a general understanding of the situation.

However, I thought it would be the Minister of Revenue, but it turned out to be just a junior official.

Ultimately, it was still a bit of an overestimation.

"What is the salary like for someone working in the capital?"

"Furthermore, as you gentlemen know, I serve under the Third Legion. I hope there won't be any problems with me holding a position in the capital?"

Chen Shan spoke again.

However, unlike before, Chen Shan did not act too directly this time.

These people knew exactly what the Third Army Corps meant.

Everyone knows that he was under the command of the Southern Slaughter King.

Given the current political situation, the discord between the civil and military officials could involve many more issues.

"This is doing this for the imperial court; nothing else matters."

"Besides, this is the Ministry of War. Although we are older, we have all been on the battlefield."

"General Chen has nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing the Right Attendant's words, Chen Shan immediately raised an eyebrow.

It seems that the Ministry of War's stance is not entirely aligned with that of the civil officials.

However, we still need to wait and see how things develop.

"Alright, but I'm on leave this time, so I have no interest in participating in anything."

Chen Shan made it clear that he had no objection to any appointment, but he also had no interest in getting involved in their messy affairs.

Of course, Chen Shan was still interested in inquiring about the Xiao family.

"General Chen, rest assured, this is just a nominal position."

"Of course, if the general wishes to develop his career in the capital, a substantive position can be arranged for him."

The Right Attendant's explanation was thorough, and Chen Shan understood it.

It was just a simple temporary posting, and Chen Shan naturally wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity.

Anyway, I can get an extra salary, so of course I can do it.

"Let's talk about that later. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"This imperial city looks rather deserted and not very interesting."

Chen Shan greeted them and was about to leave when he was stopped by the Right Sergeant.

"General Chen, please wait."

"Someone wants to see you."

Chen Shan was taken aback by the Right Attendant's words.

"Who? I'm just a junior general. There are plenty of generals like me here, aren't there?"

Although he caused a bit of trouble, Chen Shan was just throwing a shot at it without any real consequences.

I simply wanted to see just how deep the waters ran in the capital.

I never expected anyone would see me.

This is the Ministry of War.

The person who can arrange to meet here must be someone important.

"General Chen, you are mistaken. Looking across the Xia Kingdom, there is absolutely no one among the many generals who has achieved such merits at your age."

"I have a good impression of General Chen, so why don't we get to know each other?"

Just as Chen Shan was wondering, a voice rang out behind him.

Just as Chen Shan turned around, system notifications began to sound one after another.

[A beautiful woman with a rating of 95 has been detected!]

[Huangfu Yueling: Affection Level 0]

The person who walked in was a man dressed as a woman, but even so, her alluring figure and appearance made her instantly recognizable no matter how she dressed.

This left Chen Shan speechless.

Although the system gave a score, and it wasn't low.

But isn't this idea of ​​a man dressing as a woman a bit too abstract?

Do you really think this is a brainless drama? Just tie your hair up and change into men's clothing and you're a man?

At least cut your chest to show your resolve!

"And who are you?"

Chen Shan looked at the person in front of him, too lazy to expose him.

After all, we don't know what this person's purpose is.

Since they've come to see me, they must have some requests.

It's best to be cautious in the capital.

"My name is Huangfu. General Chen may address me as Brother Huangfu."

"I would like to hire General Chen as the commander of my household. Name your terms."

As Huangfu Yueling spoke, she even deliberately lowered her voice, which left Chen Shan speechless.

In particular, what the other party said was full of loopholes.

Chen Shan glanced at Huangfu Yueling, then at the servants, and couldn't hold back any longer.

"Seriously, are all of you who make it in Beijing this stupid?"

"Whether it's winning someone over or using them, at least be prepared before you start. Each one is full of loopholes."

"Gentlemen, what kind of people can directly select manpower from a place like the Ministry of War?"

Chen Shan could no longer tolerate it. These guys were behaving as if they were playing a game with him, completely disregarding his normal status.

Although Chen Shan could have pretended not to know.

But there's no need for that.

Since the system had given a rating and the woman was quite good, Chen Shan decided to be straightforward and use the simplest method.

"And another one, Huangfu, right? A woman dressed as a man, don't you even look at your face? Doesn't it look like a man's?"

"And your figure, don't you know how big your breasts are?"

Chen Shan's blunt words stunned everyone present.

The three of them were quite startled when they heard Chen Shan's evaluation of Huangfu Yueling!

"General Chen, you mustn't speak nonsense!"

The three of them quickly got up.

He was afraid that Chen Shan's words would anger the person in front of him.

However, Chen Shan didn't care.

Since we've already come this far, let's just be straightforward.

There's no need to hide it.

"Alright, this young lady's identity isn't simple, is it?"

"You guys should just be direct. I don't like beating around the bush."
