Jiang He's tone was solemn. This was the first time Chen Yuan saw this look on his face, and he nodded immediately:
"Don't worry, sir, I will go all out this time!"
Then, Jiang He told Chen Yuan the whole story in detail. The commander of the imperial city was not important. What was important was that Chen Yuan could participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.
Only in this way can we take action.
As for the commander of the Imperial City, he was not killed by the people from the Taoist Palace as Chen Yuan thought. At this juncture, they would not let the court notice anything unusual.
What is needed is to win secretly.
Although the Taoist Palace is strong, from the perspective of the imperial court, the gap is still very large. Those few true monarchs alone are an insurmountable chasm!
If the Taoist Palace really has the ability to deal with several true kings, there is no need to plan any strategy. How about just rushing into the capital and pushing them over?
After reaching your strength, pushing horizontally is the way to go!
"My qualifications for the position of commander of the imperial city seem... not enough."
Zhang Xuan had previously told Chen Yuan about the important positions of the Tiantian Division in the capital, and the position of commander of the Imperial City was one of them. The capital was divided into two parts, the inner and outer cities.
Each has four major commanders to guard the four major city gates, which is an important position in the Tianxian Division second only to the golden envoys of various states.
The outer city is the capital, and the inner city is the imperial city.
Inside is the imperial palace. No one but the royal family's children has been let out. They basically live in the imperial city. Whenever there is a court meeting, important ministers from all ministries pass through the imperial city gate.
Not too heavy.
It's a pity that in recent years, Jingtai has deliberately weakened the power of the Tianxian Division. Two of the four commanders of the Imperial City have been replaced by people from the Imperial Supervision Division. Both sides are now somewhat in the same position.
Jiang He said lightly:
"Jiang knows that you have a good relationship with Zhang Xuan. His father is the envoy of Xuanzi and holds a high position in the court. You can visit him first after entering the capital. This is my handwriting. He will be inclined to it after reading it. For you."
As Jiang He waved his hand, a letter slowly hung in front of Chen Yuan.
Then he said:
"In recent years, Jiang has been somewhat weak-minded in the Tianxuan Division. In addition to Zhang Xuan's father, I will also use some other connections. You have a lot of potential as the commander of the Imperial City."
Chen Yuan nodded, understanding clearly in his heart.
Dao Shen Palace has indeed made preparations for these prerequisites, and coupled with his relationship with Zhang Xuan, if he can get the support of the Zhang Shen envoy.
The hope of ascending to the position of commander of this imperial city is not small.
"I see."
"There are many informants in Jingtai in the capital. The Taoist Palace seems to have been operating for many years, but in fact it is not deeply involved. They are just peripheral members. They may not be trustworthy.
You must be careful after entering, and safety is the top priority in everything. "
"Don't worry, sir."
There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital, and there are countless powerful people. It is the most important base camp of the imperial court. Naturally, it is not comparable to other places. It seems that the imperial court's influence in other states is declining year by year.
But in Zhongzhou, the Sima family is still firmly in control.
He knew this long ago.
Along with the opportunities in this journey, there are also dangers.
Jiang He stared at Chen Yuan for a moment and said softly:
"The whereabouts of Xiao Yunsheng's daughter Xiao Qingmu have been found."
Hearing these words, Chen Yuan's eyes instantly lit up. If these remnants of Qingyun had a chance, he would definitely not let it go and leave trouble for himself.
If you don’t have three kilograms of water in your brain, you will definitely not be able to do this!
"where?"
he asked immediately.
"According to their route, they are preparing to go to Zhongzhou. It is estimated that they have just entered Zhongzhou. Should you deal with them yourself, or will the Taoist Palace deal with them directly?"
Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head slowly:
"Now that we have found the traces of these people and happened to be on their way, we will not bother Dao Shen Palace to take action. It is time to settle some grievances!"
It was the grudge he had with the Qingyun Sword Sect. According to his previous assumptions, he was planning to personally destroy their sect. Unfortunately, everything happened too quickly.
The other party did not give him a chance to grow up. To deal with the Tongxuan warriors, they directly dispatched Huayang Zhenren. He could only turn to the Taoist Palace and use the hands of the Taoist masters to deal with them.
Although it was completely resolved, he still felt angry in his heart.
If it can be solved personally, that would naturally be the best.
Moreover, Chen Yuan had a guess in his heart. According to past experience, this Xiao Qingmu would probably bring him a son of luck, otherwise the involvement would not be so deep.
Even though it was just a possibility, he still didn't want to let it go.
"Okay, then you can do it yourself."
Jiang He didn't force anything. Those remnants of the Qingyun Sword Sect, the strongest ones were only Tongxuan cultivation level. To Chen Yuan, who had now entered the Dan realm, they were nothing at all. They could be killed with a wave of his hand.
Tongxuan....
They didn't take them seriously at all.
After chatting for a while, the two talked about some things about Zhongzhou. Jiang He also had a deep understanding of Zhongzhou, because he himself was a child of a small family in a city below Zhongzhou.
It was previously rumored that Jiang He's engagement had been broken off, and it also happened in Zhongzhou.
But later, according to Chen Yuan's understanding, Jiang He's family had died out, and the person who did it was related to Zhao Hao's parents, so Jiang He would kill the Zhao family.
It can be regarded as another copy of "Thirty Years in Hedong" and "Thirty Years in Hexi". Don't bully young people into poverty.
After chatting for two hours, Chen Yuan did not stay any longer. He couldn't wait to see the frightened eyes of these remnants of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
Definitely interesting!
The day Chen Yuan left Qingzhou was October 28th, the eighth year of Jingtai in the Jin Dynasty!
...
...
Zhongzhou, Changshan Mansion.
This place is located on the border of Zhongzhou, close to Yangzhou. It is a relatively large prefecture, and its location is also very critical. It is one of the important prefectures that protect the capital.
Unlike other state capitals, Zhongzhou is relatively small in area, only half the size of Qingzhou. It is composed of five prefectures, of which Changshan Prefecture is one.
The capital is in the middle, and the other four palaces guard it.
Because their positions are so important, the patrolling angels in these four provinces are all alchemy realm masters. However, in terms of status, there is still a big gap between them and those Tiandanjin envoys in other towns. .
In a deserted and ruined temple outside Changshan City, there were more than ten young warriors in different clothes, most of whom looked a little depressed and slumped.
Although their clothes are different, they are no different from ordinary martial arts warriors, but they have one thing in common, that is, they all use swords, either on their backs or on their shoulders...
They are none other than the remnants of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
When Xiao Yunsheng died that day, Xiao Qingmu felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. She immediately went to the Patriarch Hall in panic, and then discovered that her father's soul lamp had been extinguished.
She immediately knew that her father was dead, and Xiao Qingmu's heart was filled with sadness and resentment. After being frozen for a moment, she remembered Xiao Yunsheng's words before intercepting Chen Yuan.
Tell her that if she discovers that his soul lamp is extinguished, she will immediately take away some talented disciples and resources in order to rebuild the Qingyun Sword Sect in the future.
In this way, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect stumbled away from Qingzhou. There were originally nearly thirty people, but most of them died under various interceptions.
As of today, there are only a dozen disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect left.
More than a dozen disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect seemed to be standing in confusion, but in fact they were faintly guarding one of them, a handsome man in white.
This man was carrying a spiritual sword. He was thin in stature and had long hair tied up. He had an air of calm expression even if the mountain was about to collapse. Although his appearance was not as handsome as Chen Yuan's.
But he is definitely handsome.
He is currently the person with the highest cultivation level among the disciples of Qingyun Sword Sect, and he is elected as the senior brother by everyone.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what did Senior Sister Xiao do?"
Finally, a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect couldn't bear his curiosity and stepped forward to ask in a low voice. As soon as he spoke, the eyes of the other disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect also focused on Senior Brother Zhao.
Xiao Qingmu is the legitimate daughter of the sect leader Xiao Yunsheng. She was the one who took them down the mountain in advance. In the minds of everyone, she is already the backbone of the family.
He has been missing for nearly three days now. Although he is under the care of Senior Brother Zhao, as time goes by, everyone is still filled with some inexplicable panic.
Of course, the main reason is that they are being hunted down too hard.
The brothers and sisters around them fell one after another, making everyone even more insecure, fearing that they would be the next to die.
"Junior Sister Xiao has gone to find a way for us to survive."
Senior Brother Zhao said in a deep voice.
"Stay alive!"
As soon as I heard this sentence, -->>
[Reading updates are slow to load, there are ads, and chapters are incomplete. Please exit Reading and read again! 】
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, giving birth to a glimmer of hope.
In the endless pursuit, they are actually not optimistic about the future, because the forces that have seized the base and resources of the Qingyun Sword Sect are chasing them. ???..Com
How difficult is it to gain a foothold?
I am afraid that once the news gets out, it will attract siege.
If the wall falls down and everyone pushes it, it's better than this.
How can they not be excited when they hear the word "survival" now?
"Junior brothers, there is no need to worry. Our Qingyun Sword Sect will one day return to Qingzhou. At that time... it will be the day of our revenge. The Demon Prison Sect, Iron Fist Sect, Chen Yuan... these people will all Be destroyed by our sword!"
"Repent for their past crimes!"
Senior Brother Zhao said solemnly to the other disciples.
"Yes, under the leadership of Senior Brother Zhao, we will eventually rebuild the Qingyun Sword Sect!"
"Yes, only Senior Brother Zhao is our hope!"
Two Qingyun Sword Sect disciples immediately echoed.
Senior Brother Zhao glanced at the two of them with a smile and nodded slightly, as if to praise their good looks.
His name was Zhao Deren, and he was originally not outstanding within the Qingyun Sword Sect. Both Gu Hao and Wu Zongxian were stronger than him, and were considered to be at the upper-middle level.
But now they are all dead!
If the short one is taller, it will naturally be his turn.
Among the remaining disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect, who has the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength, who will be the future sect leader?
From the moment Xiao Qingmu brought him down the mountain, Zhao Deren's ambition began to rise. No, to be precise, his ambition began to be revealed after Wu Zongxian was secretly killed!
He wants to get Xiao Qingmu and ascend to the position of sect leader!
The reason why Wu Zongxian overestimated his ability to intercept and kill Chen Yuan before was because of his suggestion. There were many stumbling blocks on the road to becoming the leader, but he would remove them one by one.
Wu Zongxian is just one of them.
Later, Wu Zongxian died in the hands of Chen Yuan, and the remains of the disciples who left were gone. Although this matter did not spread among the Qingyun Sword Sect, he was very aware of it.
And because he reported the incident to Xiao Qingmu midway, he was also ruled out as a suspect.
As for the matter of instigating Wu Zongxian to die, currently only God knows, the earth knows, and he himself knows.
Although the sect was destroyed now, it was not hopeless to rebuild. He knew very well that Xiao Qingmu had many treasures and Yuanjing in his hands, and these things were the sect's heritage.
As long as he gets these things, his cultivation will inevitably skyrocket, and the Dan realm is not his end at all.
And Xiao Qingmu also began to respond to him gradually, which made his confidence soar, and he felt that the beauty was about to be obtained.
It's a pity that Xiao Qingmu is not completely smitten yet, she just told him that she is not in the mood for romance at the moment. If he really likes her, he will make love on Chinese Valentine's Day next year!
Now, Zhao Deren is very much looking forward to the arrival of Chinese Valentine's Day next year!
It was not that he had never thought about forcing it, but after thinking about it, he gave up. It was impossible for Xiao Yunsheng not to leave a foundation for Xiao Qingmu. She definitely still had alchemy talismans or even magical talismans in her hands!
This has been verified before, and it was only by relying on several elixir bursts that they escaped being chased again and again. The only thing that made him unhappy was,
It was Xiao Qingmu who was unwilling to give him even a single elixir to protect him.
But he was prepared to capture his confidence, and it was impossible to show any other displeasure.
He molded himself very well, he confirmed this.
As soon as the two confidant disciples who had taken refuge in him spoke, the other disciples, even if they had other thoughts in their hearts, did not dare to express them at the moment and all agreed.
It was as if Zhao Deren was now the new sect leader of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
As time passed, the sky gradually became darker. Zhao Deren frowned, and he couldn't help but feel some worries. Xiao Qingmu was related to his chance of rising, and there must be no mistakes.
I don't know if what she said is true...
Before leaving the day before yesterday, Xiao Qingmu also revealed something to him. She actually left this time because she wanted to use some of the methods she had left behind.
Contact the nobles in Beijing.
Only this kind of existence can allow them to completely eliminate the hatred of those who are chasing and killing. As for who it is, Xiao Qingmu did not say much, but Zhao Deren also had some guesses in his heart.
It's a pity that we can't be sure, and now we can only wait here.
There was indeed no problem at the beginning. Since they entered Zhongzhou, the frequency of pursuits has been very low, and the danger has been greatly reduced.
However, Xiao Qingmu was still very careful. Before leaving, she even disguised herself as a man, as if someone was spying on them...
Xiao Qingmu had said before leaving that no matter whether things were accomplished or not within three days, she would come back to join them and told them not to leave this place.
Just wait for her here...
But seeing that the three-day period was approaching and she hadn't come back yet, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Could it be that something happened to Junior Sister Xiao?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Zhongzhou is not Qingzhou. Those people's hands may not be able to reach that far. Besides, Xiao Qingmu is not powerless.
The means she can explode are definitely far beyond Tongxuan.
Just when Zhao Deren's thoughts were in turmoil, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect seemed to notice that he was absent-minded, and his heart, which had been soothed before, became a little frightened again.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what exactly did Senior Sister Xiao do?"
"Yes, didn't you agree to return in three days?"
"Isn't it because Senior Sister Xiao had an accident?"
"Did Senior Sister Xiao abandon us?"
One after another, mixed voices sounded, and Zhao Deren's heart moved. Especially when he heard the words "Senior Sister Xiao, have you abandoned us?", a bad feeling came to his heart.
But he also knew that he couldn't panic now, otherwise when Xiao Qingmu came back and saw that he couldn't even control these junior brothers, wouldn't he be disappointed in him?
Immediately he said in a deep voice:
"Don't think about it. How could Junior Sister Xiao abandon us and run for our lives alone? If that were the case, she would not have secretly taken us down the mountain at all.
You must have confidence in Junior Sister Xiao. She is the daughter of the sect master. Her obsession in this life is to rebuild the Qingyun Sword Sect. How can she live an ignoble existence? Not even this little bit of concentration,
How to practice to the peak of martial arts in the future? "
"A warrior must have the confidence to not be afraid of anything. Even if the road ahead is bumpy, he must overcome obstacles. Junior Sister Xiao has the means left by the sect master in her hands, so there will be no accidents. Maybe it just delayed some time."
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhao is right."
"We must have confidence in Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Sister Xiao, and under their leadership, we must rebuild the sect!"
The two disciples who spoke before immediately agreed.
The other disciples looked at each other and said nothing more. Most of them were Ning Gang cultivators and they did not dare to contradict Zhao Deren. At worst, they would have to wait a little longer...
The sky was getting darker and darker, black clouds blocked the moonlight, cold wind howled, and within a few miles, only their ruined temple had firelight.
From a distance, it looks like a lighthouse.
Several disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect were roasting hares, turning them around in boredom. Zhao Deren was leaning on a pillar nearby, with his eyes closed, seeming to be thinking about something.
"rustle...."
The cold wind howled, and suddenly a sound of gentle footsteps entered the ruined temple. The alert disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect looked outside the door at the same time.
Someone whispered:
"Is Senior Sister Xiao back?"
"It should be."
"Senior Sister Xiao is finally back!"
There was a sense of relief on the faces of several disciples.
But only Zhao Deren's face flashed with dignity. In his perception, the approaching aura was completely different from that of Junior Sister Xiao, and he immediately said coldly:
"The person outside is not Junior Sister Xiao, be on guard!"
Upon hearing these words, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect were stunned for a moment, and then immediately stood up and placed one hand on the hilt of the long sword.
Staring at the door warily.
In the darkness, a figure slowly approached, and two cyan lights filled its eyes.
"Who is coming!"
Zhao Deren's eyes turned cold, he drew out his long sword and shouted sternly.
