"drive!"
"faster!"
"Speed up the process and arrange what can be arranged first."
"ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"

That night, the wind and snow continued.
In the south city, on the ruins after the daytime battle, torches were like dragons, crackling and illuminating the cold night. The Divine Works Division of the Tianxiong Pass Patrol Division was carrying out rapid "post-war" reconstruction work.
A group of people used their magical powers of earth and stone, each doing their own job, and temporary buildings rose from the ground to accommodate the innocent people affected. After all, it was snowing heavily, and the lower class people could not withstand any hardship.
In the distance, the white snow illuminated the night. On the collapsed South City Gate, there was a "crunching" sound from the accumulated snow, accompanied by the sound of the cloth sails being blown.
At this time, on the city wall, three figures were walking on the south wall, looking at the busy soldiers in the south city and the flames moving everywhere, their faces dim and uncertain in the flames.
They were Chen Yuan, and the two Generals of the Central Army, Wei Zhong and Wu Sheng.
The cold wind was blowing, making the cloaks behind the armor of several people rustle, and also making several people feel upset.
When the dust settled, the demon-suppressing general stepped forward and forcefully transferred all the troops sent by the court, thus resolving the trouble. However, no one was happy at all.
Because of this incident, there are no winners.
The situation in Shu is now grim, with undercurrents surging and the area in chaos.
In the south, the Ten Evils were fully released and appeared in the world at some unknown time;
In the west, the Demon-Suppressing General only mentioned a small situation, but forcing this general to show up and say such words would probably cause a lot of trouble. No one knew what would happen.
In addition, now that Shu's fortunes have revived, various forces have poured into Shu, and conflicts are inevitable as a result of the mixed crowd.
The imperial court should have been the backing of their local governors, but it did nothing at the critical moment and now it is causing trouble for you. Who wouldn't be angry?
Killing is easy, but it is unpleasant after all when soldiers are facing each other with swords.
"Hey!"
A sigh.
"This incident has caused quite a stir. To be honest, it was caused by me. I'm afraid it has caused a stir in the court and has implicated the two of you."
Wei Zhong held the city wall with both hands, looking at the fire in the distance, he let out a long sigh, his eyes were a little hesitant, frost formed on his beard, and there was a scratch on his face.
He knew that this time the matter had become a big deal. Even the Demon-Suppressing General and the Dragon and Tiger Warriors had been dispatched. It would definitely shake the temple. This matter was not over, but the consequences were not something that he, a Taoist Lieutenant General, could bear.
He was bullied by the vanguard Gong Yang Jianshan at that time, and he was furious and said, "Fuck it!", and then things turned out like this.
Chen Yuan turned his head and saw that the forty-something General of the Household looked hesitant and bewildered. It seemed that this incident had caused quite a shock to him, and his mind had become a little depressed.
Fighting hard and risking your life will not end well, and you still have to worry about the subsequent impact, right?
But Chen Yuan knew that it was all because of him.
He groaned, "It's not your fault. In fact, it was Chen who implicated you. Or, in other words, you can't blame anyone else."
As he spoke, his eyes sparkled, "You can't blame yourself for other people's mistakes. The cause of this matter was originally the three families who wanted to make plans and wanted to establish their own territory when they first arrived."
"Before Chen set out from Jinguan City, he learned about the three families from a woman from the Imperial Capital. At that time, he expected that this trip would not be peaceful."
"Since this matter has been personally resolved by General Qi Tian, General Wei can relax for now."
After he finished speaking, Wu Sheng, the general of Jiange Guanzhong, spoke with a little curiosity.
"Jiu Zhonglang, did the general tell you anything before he left?"
Qi Tian, the demon-suppressing general and the highest-ranking general of Jiannan Dao, showed up very brazenly this time, which gave Wu Sheng and the others a shot of confidence.
Wei Zhong, who had just sighed, also turned his head with a probing look.
The Demon-Suppressing General Qi Tian only appeared for a short while, so they had no chance, or rather, no qualifications, to come forward and pay their respects.
Chen Yuan nodded and did not hide it from them, "The general showed up this time because there was trouble in the west. The general's original intention was to take away the troops sent by the court."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Sheng and Wei Zhong's faces changed at the same time.
Wu Sheng was a little speechless, "Is there a problem at the border of the Demon Kingdom?"
Chen Yuan exhaled and shook his head. "I don't know yet. The general didn't say much, but I think it's going to be a big trouble. I also feel something is wrong between the lines."
After hearing this, Wei Zhong threw away the dejection on his face and frowned, "The general has been guarding the border of the Demon Kingdom for many years and has never made any mistakes. It is hard to guess what happened this time. But if even the general can't control it, it means that the situation has reached an extremely dangerous level. We have only heard that the Demon Kingdom is like purgatory, but we have never seen it."
"Alas, it is such a turbulent time. I can only sigh that our cultivation is low and we can't help much. Even now that Shu has revived and troops from all directions have entered the pass, we have been embarrassed. Jiu Zhonglang, now that the matter here is over, what are your plans?" Wu Sheng on the side also sighed.
He was right. Given the current situation in Shu, the cultivation of the generals of the Guanzhong Army in the prefecture was no longer enough to control the situation. The heroes of the world entered the pass, and the powerful ones were like crucian carp crossing the river. Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be disputes. They have already experienced the troubles of the current situation.
Chen Yuan naturally understood the difficulty in Wu Sheng's words, and said quietly:
"Before the general left, he authorized me to mobilize the troops of various prefectures and let me command the southern battlefield of Shiwan Mountain. As for today's incident, I am afraid that Chen has been reported to the court. The general did not pamper them. I guess we can forget about the court's help in the future. We can only rely on ourselves."
"The general once said to Chen that we should think more about our brothers in the Fusi. If someone makes things difficult for us, then we should not make things difficult for ourselves. We should not be burdened by our reputation."
"So, from now on, we will all work together, and Chen will also need your support."
Chen Yuan said this and bowed.
Upon seeing this, Wei Zhong and Wu Sheng's expressions turned serious and they returned the salute as well.
The Demon-Suppressing General spoke like this, and it seemed that he had high hopes for Jiu Zhonglang. In the future, Chen Yuan would be able to mobilize the troops from various prefectures and would be able to do many things. It didn't matter whether he had that false reputation or not!
"Humph, after today's battle, those guys who are disloyal and don't remember the old friendship should behave themselves!"
Wei Zhong's eyes were cold and he snorted angrily.
"Is Wei Zhonglang talking about those colleagues?" Wu Sheng listened to the tone and took over the conversation thoughtfully.
"Who else could it be? Some people recognize their mother before they even feed them milk." Wei Zhong said these words with great anger.
During the day, several generals from the Guanzhong Army jumped out and followed Gongyang Jianshan to capture him. Their anxious behavior was disgusting.
What's more, the subordinates he had promoted also betrayed him, which made people angry and disheartened.
And these clowns disappeared long after the incident was over.
When Chen Yuan heard this, he thought of what he had seen on the road, and his eyes became deep.
"I will keep an eye on the people that Wei Zhonglang mentioned."
At this point, he changed the subject and squinted his eyes, "But the most important thing right now is for the two of you to improve your strength and break through the Dao Fruit as soon as possible. Chen will lend a helping hand!"
"Also, train more soldiers and actively prepare for war. I have analyzed the current situation with you two, so it is better to be prepared."
"good!"
Half an hour later, in the south city of Tianxiong Pass, seven or eight miles away from the original site of Tianxiang Tower, there was a Zao Mountain. It was not high, only more than two hundred meters.
This mountain is owned by someone, who usually grows tea plantations and medicinal herbs there. It is private property and no one is allowed to enter.
There is a manor in the mountains. Almost no one sets foot here. It is located in a quiet place in the mountains.
In the night, the white snow in the mountains cast the shadow of a courtyard, with white walls and black tiles splashing along the mountain wall. The whole yard seemed silent, without any candlelight, and it seemed to be an empty courtyard.
Then, suddenly,
"Woof"
A dog barked in the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, a black shadow rushed out of the backyard like lightning, turning into a residual image and rushing towards the front yard.
And in the front yard, on the white snow as soon as one entered the door, a figure emerged silently!
The place where the black afterimage rushed towards was the snowy ground where this person's figure appeared!
And as the dog barking suddenly sounded in this quiet courtyard, it was like throwing a big stone into a calm lake, instantly breaking the tranquility of this place.
In an instant,
"call out"
"call out"
"call out"
Sounds broke through the air.
Sharp rays of light suddenly appeared in the cold night and shot towards the direction where the figure was gathering, determined to turn this uninvited guest into a hornet's nest.
At the same time, shadows jumped out from the surrounding rooms, rooftops, or snow with low roars and pounced on the newcomers.
Just when a dozen cold lights were about a foot close to the figure, they suddenly stopped, as if there was an air wall in front of them, fixing them there.
And beneath the flashing cold light, a tall and slender figure was silhouetted!
Wearing silver armor and a black cloud-patterned cloak!
"stop!"
There was a startled cry.
"ninth."
A figure rushed over, and I recognized the person at a glance. The figure who was rushing over quickly stopped, and his voice was so frightened that he stuttered a little.
Under the flashing light, a group of figures rushed over, with blue eyes, yellow curly hair and beard, they were people from the Western Regions.
At this time,
"Hehehe, welcome the master!"
A slightly flattering voice sounded.
The black shadow that rushed over first came close to Chen Yuan and revealed a big black dog.
He held his head high, grinned, squinted his eyes, and wagged his tail.
"crash"
The weapons that were fixed around Chen Yuan fell down one after another. He looked at the big black dog, a bit of admiration appeared between his brows, and he spoke.
"You have made a contribution this time. This is a reward for you."
Chen Yuan shot out a beam of green light, which penetrated into the center of Tengu's eyebrows.
The Tengu's body stiffened, and the next second, its eyes opened wide and its tail was wagging as if it was about to fly.
"Dragon Lord Yin, ahahaha, from now on I will follow you through fire and water."
The dog received the reward and even its voice changed, it seemed very satisfied.
Chen Yuan got goosebumps. This Tengu was truly top-notch.
However, this celestial dog made a great contribution this time, so he just let it go.
At this time, the five or six people from the Western Regions who were standing on the snow were at a loss, their eyes wide open.
This ferocious god in front of us had turned Tianxiong Pass upside down during the day. How could he appear here?
They thought that the enemy had come to their doorstep and started an attack. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel a chill running down their spines. Aren't they simply overstepping the bounds of authority?
Just when these people were too frightened to think about some details of the day, a restrained female voice sounded at the right time.
"Consort!"
As the words fell, the lights in the hall of the snowy front yard lit up one by one.
A woman with a golden nose ring and wearing golden gauze came out and called out to Chen Yuan shyly.
Saying,
"The princess is waiting for you, please come in!"
After saying this, the pretty Western woman lowered her head, turned around quickly, and walked quickly into the lighted front hall.
This woman was Mi Ayi, the maidservant beside Ange, so the princess was naturally Ange.
"what?"
Hearing this name, the others were dumbfounded, and then noisy noises came from other parts of the yard.
They were all Hu people who evacuated from Tianxiang Tower.
And this is a secret base of Tianxiang Tower.
By some strange coincidence, the people from the Holy Religion in the Western Regions found Ange, the former princess of Loulan, and a fight broke out between them.
Tianxiang Tower was no longer safe, so Ange decisively ordered his people to move that night. Then, thinking that they had been exposed, he rushed into the inner city with Tengu that night and prepared to take Miai and the others away. What happened next was what happened later.
At this moment, Chen Yuan ignored the shock and confusion of the Hu people. He stepped into the front hall, then with a "click", he closed the door to block the wind and snow outside.
Entering the front hall, it was deserted.
"Prince Consort, here!"
A voice came from behind the screen, a little timid.
Chen Yuan remembered this woman from the Western Regions. He probably left her with some bad memories, which made her a little afraid of him.
His figure flashed and he came behind the screen, where he saw a carved wall. Miai opened some kind of restriction, and there was a clicking sound inside, and the sound of metal expansion was heard.
Then, the other party pushed the wall open in the middle, and a passage appeared.
Chen Yuan followed him in.
It immediately became warm inside.
Soon, Chen Yuan came to a secret room and met An Ge.
The former princess of Loulan was stewing soup on the stove at this time.
"Miai, you go down first." Ange said.
Miai raised her head slightly, looked at her princess, then looked at Chen Yuan carefully, lowered her head and replied "yes", then stepped on the small debris and left the secret room.
At this time, Ange scooped a bowl of soup from the fire, stirred the spoon with her bare hands, looked at Chen Yuan with her watery eyes, her long eyelashes trembling,
"General, you've been traveling in the snow and wind. I made this to keep you warm!"
Chen Yuan sat down and took the phone from Ange's hand.
He took a sip of the soup in the bowl, and a warm current flowed into his stomach, giving him a very warm feeling of satisfaction.
Then, he slowly drank the bowl of soup in a few gulps, then gently put the bowl down, pulled Ange to sit on his lap, and touched her belly with his hand.
"Fortunately, you and your child are safe!"
"Who are those people?" (End of this chapter)
