Jingcheng, the full name is Shenjing City, also known as Shangjing, formerly known as Shengjing.
It was the capital of the Jin Dynasty and the center of power of the imperial court, and it was longed for by countless people.
Emperor Wu's City in the East China Sea is known as the number one city in the world, while this Shenjing City is the second city in the world. In terms of status, it is the well-deserved number one.
This city was built thousands of years ago. It was built under the supervision of the people ordered by Taizu Taizu of Chu when he conquered the world and conquered ten kingdoms. It has stood firm despite eight hundred years of wind and frost.
However, due to the usurpation of the throne by the Sima clan, there was a great battle in Shenjing City. There were only a few records of that battle in the history books, but he learned from Jiang He's mouth that the battle was not simple.
The great scholars of the imperial court, the true kings of the world, and even the land immortals who saw the dragon but never saw its tail showed up and almost destroyed the city of Shenjing, causing countless casualties. Later, after the Sima family got the throne, they renovated it and named this place Shenjing!
Standing outside Shenjing City, Chen Yuan looked from a distance with a solemn expression.
After experiencing Emperor Wu's City, he no longer felt much shock when he saw Shengjing City. Compared to the grandeur, Emperor Wu's City was even better.
But when it comes to its simplicity and simplicity, the city of Shenjing carries greater significance.
The endless city wall that can be seen at a glance reveals the majesty of the imperial court. Outside the city wall is a moat that is more than dozens of feet wide. The water below is fast and the waves are rolling.
Chen Yuan entered the city through the south gate this time because it was the closest.
The walls of Shenjing City are also engraved with mysterious formations. When my mind sinks, I can only feel the vastness, and it contains extremely terrifying and powerful power.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Chen Yuan watched for a moment, then followed the flow of people into the city.
There's no need to say anything grand, it's meaningless. It's not too late to wait until he has power.
Chen Yuan's arrival in the capital was still a few days away from Jing Taylor's order, so he was not too anxious to meet the emperor and decided to get to know the place first.
After some understanding, Chen Yuan realized that there was a large area between the outer city and the imperial city. This distance was where the dignitaries lived.
It is also called the inner city by some people, but since there are no outposts in the middle, the real inner city is still the imperial city.
The capital is worthy of being the center of the Thirteen States of the Jin Dynasty. The number of warriors inside is comparable to that of Emperor Wu's City in the East China Sea. From what he saw and heard along the way, Tongxuan masters were not uncommon, and he even bumped into several Dan realm masters.
Some people were dressed in battle armor, while others were dressed as martial artists.
Obviously, although the imperial court was ostracized by martial arts warriors and its officials were called court hawks and dogs, there were still many experts gathered here despite their lack of integrity.
Shenjing City is very big, and Chen Yuan was still within the outer city limits after walking around for half an hour.
After finding a restaurant everywhere, Chen Yuan had some breakfast and thought about his next trip. Originally, he wanted to go and catch up with his old boss, Tao Qingyuan.
It's a pity that we don't know where he holds a position in the Tianxian Division, and we don't know if it's because of the long distance. In short, there has been no correspondence since Tao Qingyuan left more than half a year ago.
Of course, if Chen Yuan asked for help from someone from the Immortal Tower, it would not be impossible to find him, but after thinking about it, he decided to give it up. They would get together in the future.
Chen Yuan is still very grateful to this old boss who took good care of him in the past. If he has the opportunity to repay him in the future, he will naturally not be stingy.
Tao Qingyuan is no longer looking, so he still has two goals.
One is Li Hongshuang, Jiang He's old prime minister, and the other is Zhang Xuan's father, the divine envoy of Xuan Tian who is often talked about by him.
After some consideration, Chen Yuan decided to visit Zhang Xuan's father first. After all, the man had already told Zhang Xuan before he came.
Let him go to see him first after coming to the capital, and let him take him to see Jingtai.
As for Li Hongshuang, he still knows relatively little about it. It would not be too late to ask Su Ziyue when he has free time the next day. Besides, she probably has no say in the matter of commanding the imperial city.
It's better to settle down first.
Zhang's Mansion is located in the inner city. According to the address given by Zhang Xuan, Chen Yuan did not delay and went directly to visit with some gifts. He was not visiting as a subordinate this time.
Instead, he went as a good friend of Zhang Xuan. Regardless of other things, there was nothing wrong with getting closer to him. After all, the four great envoys of the Tianxuan Division had considerable authority.
Especially when the Grand Governor is in seclusion all year round, the power of the entire Tianxun Division is basically in the hands of the four divine envoys of Heaven, Earth, Xuan and Huang.
It's not an exaggeration to say that she has a high position. When she first met Su Ziyue in Ping'an County, she showed a very dignified look, telling Chen Yuan that it would be best for him to be on good terms with Zhang Xuan.
In addition, the relationship between Zhang Shenshi and Jiang He is considered acceptable, otherwise he would not send his most talented son Zhang Xuan to Qingzhou for training.
The Zhang Mansion was very impressive, and there were even patrol guards in front of the door. Chen Yuan took a deep breath and walked forward with a calm expression.
The leader, a patrol angel with Tongxuan cultivation, stepped forward and raised his hand. He looked at Chen Yuan who was gradually approaching with caution and scrutiny, and said in a cold voice: "Don't get close to the important place of Zhang Mansion."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and said calmly:
"My surname is Chen Mingyuan, from Nanling, Qingzhou. I am a good friend of Zhang Xuannai. I have been entrusted by him to come to see Uncle Zhang. This is my letter."
The word "uncle" instantly changed the face of the patrolling angel in front of him. He took the letter with some respect, opened it and glanced at it, then returned it to Chen Yuan, and then ordered the patrolling guard beside him to report it to the house.
"Your guest will be here later."
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Yuan smiled and glanced at the Zhang family plaque. There was a fierce murderous intention in it. He estimated that it was written by Zhang Xuanzhi's father.
Otherwise, there would not be such charm.
It seems that Chen Yuan was also shocked by the privileges of these divine envoys. They were able to mobilize the sky patrol guards to guard the gates. You know, these were court officials, but now they were like generals.
I don't know whether it was because the emperor didn't care at all, or because this Zhang Shenshi, whom he had never met before, was too arrogant.
Not long after, the patrolman who had just entered followed an old man with gray beard and hair and walked out. The old man's eyes immediately focused on Chen Yuan, and he cupped his hands and said:
"But Qingzhou Chen Yuan and Chen Qing envoy?"
"It's Chen."
A smile appeared on the old man's face:
"The master told the old slave a few days ago that Envoy Chen Qing would come. He also told the guards several times before. It's just that he changed it to a new one today, so he was a little negligent. Don't blame Envoy Qing."
"Senior is too worried. It's Chen who came a little late."
The old man smiled faintly, the wrinkles on his face gathering together, and said:
"Don't call me senior. I'm just an ordinary person with little cultivation. I shouldn't be called so. If the young envoy doesn't mind, just call me Uncle Chen like Young Master Xuan."
Chen Yuan pursed his lips when he heard the name, but didn't show any signs of it. He cupped his hands and clasped his fists:
"Uncle Chen."
"Mr. Chen Qing, follow me."
Uncle Chen stooped and stretched out his hand.
"good."
"The master is still handling government affairs in the Sky Patrol Department and won't be back until noon. It's almost dark now. Why don't you wait in the backyard for a while?"
"It all depends on Uncle Chen's arrangements."
Uncle Chen smiled when he heard this and asked as he walked:
"I have watched Mr. Xuan grow up since he was a child. He has not returned home for several years now. I wonder how he is in Qingzhou?"
"Brother Zhang is the Nanling Qing Envoy, and he has done an excellent job. When the Jianghe Jiangjin Envoy met me before, he even praised Brother Zhang."
"Did Ambassador Chen Qing have a close relationship with Ambassador Jiang Jin?"
"There must be some connection."
While chatting, Uncle Chen took Chen Yuan to the backyard of Zhang Mansion. It was relatively quiet here and the vitality was unusually abundant compared to the outside. It was obvious that the Zhang Shen envoy had used the Yuan Gathering Formation at this moment.
"My master has told me before that if Ambassador Chen Qing comes, he will be brought here, please."
Chen Yuan sat down with a smile.
A few breaths later, a beautiful maid served spiritual tea. Uncle Chen was originally planning to chat for a while and wait until Zhang Xuan's father came back, but something seemed to have happened in the house that needed to be dealt with.
He apologized and asked two maids to serve Chen Yuan.
He didn't say anything more politely and just asked the other party to leave.
Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about Zhang Xuan's father, the divine envoy. Chen Yuan had already heard of his name. His name was Zhang Yantong, and he was a god-refiner. Although he was far away from the true king in the court, , but it can be considered extremely extraordinary.
In addition, Chen Yuan also knew several other divine envoys. The divine envoy of Tianzi is named Xiao Jing. It is said that he is the strongest person among the four great envoys.

bsp; He is also regarded as the next Grand Governor of the Sky Patrol Division.
He rarely leaves the capital on weekdays and always sits in the center. Jiang He said that he is very strong and his main responsibility is to suppress the Tianlao of the Patrol Division. As for the other three divine envoys, including Zhang Xuan's father Zhang Yantong, they are equal.
On weekdays, if something goes wrong in the state capital below, it is usually handled by these three envoys. Three years ago, there was unrest in the southwest.
It was the two divine envoys who came in person to suppress it.
The divine envoy with the earth character is named Zuo Tiancheng, and the divine envoy with the yellow character is named Wu Tianxi.
It is these four divine envoys that initially constitute the upper-level framework of the Tianxian Division, and are also the goals pursued by the golden envoys of each state.
Lowering his head to sip the spiritual tea served by Chen Bo's order, Chen Yuan nodded slightly. In terms of spiritual energy alone, it was truly extraordinary, almost the same as when Ye Chenbai held a banquet.
Presumably, he was regarded as an important guest at the Huayang level.
As he was thinking about these things in his mind, suddenly, a terrifying aura suddenly descended on Chen Yuan, causing him to frown instantly and fight with the aura.
Although it was difficult, he still resisted this terrifying momentum with difficulty.
"good."
A thick man's voice rang in Chen Yuan's ears, and the terrifying aura disappeared instantly. He subconsciously turned his eyes to his left front.
A middle-aged man wearing a dark black robe embroidered with gold came slowly.
As if he had a secret method of shrinking to an inch, he was in front of Chen Yuan in the blink of an eye. The man had a square appearance, thick brows, and although his eyes were not big, they conveyed a strong sense of oppression. His appearance was also consistent with Zhang's. Xuan is three points similar.
Certain in his heart, Chen Yuan immediately knew who the visitor was, quickly stood up, bowed and clasped his fists, saying:
"My nephew Chen Yuan has met Uncle Zhang."
Hearing the word 'uncle' from Chen Yuan's mouth, Zhang Yantong's eyes flashed with something like a smile, and he nodded slightly and said:
"Since you have a close relationship with Xuan'er, it's not an exaggeration to call me uncle. Sit down."
"Thank you uncle."
"Don't bring anything with you when you come home from now on. Treat it as your own home."
"My nephew understands."
Chen Yuan smiled.
Zhang Yantong looked at Chen Yuan a few times with a dull smile:
"With solid cultivation and extraordinary momentum, he is worthy of being the Demon Swordsman Chen Yuan who has defeated many heroes and reached the top spot."
"Uncle is too complimentary."
"Don't be polite here. Although you and I have only met for the first time, Xuan'er has mentioned you to me many times in his letters, saying that you are a talent that the court should cultivate."
"Brother Zhang is so complimentary that in the middle of the court, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons. I don't know how many people can outshine my little nephew."
Zhang Yantong laughed:
"There are rumors in the world that the demon sword Chen Yuan has a cold face, is decisive in killing, and has an extremely arrogant personality. Now it seems that is not the case. The rumors are wrong."
"My nephew has indeed killed a lot of people in the past two years, but these people should all be killed. For colluding with demons and demons to cause trouble to the people, it is not an exaggeration to kill them ten times or a hundred times."
"If you were to govern a place, how should you govern it?"
"My nephew previously served as the Qing Envoy in Tangshan. Because this place is adjacent to the Blood State, the martial arts and government officials are in great chaos, and they have to use heavy codes.
Kill until rivers of blood flow and heads roll in, and other things will naturally disappear. "
"Your temperament is quite pleasing to His Majesty."
Zhang Yantong smiled indifferently, and did not feel that Chen Yuan's murderous intent was too serious. The reason why the Tianxuan Division was established in the first place was because those martial arts warriors went too far.
Chaos can only be eliminated by killing.
He had less than 10,000 lives in his hands, which established his position as the envoy of God.
"Don't dare to think about this."
"It's okay if you don't want to. His Majesty called you to the capital this time. His original intention was to cultivate you. He thought that by letting you form elixirs in the secret realm of the capital, you would be worthy of becoming the first in the Immortal Battle. I didn't expect you to form elixirs so quickly. , which is beyond His Majesty’s expectation.”
All the warriors in the world knew about the Dansheng vision. As the controller of the Jin Dynasty, how could Jingtai not know about it? Jingtai mentioned this when he met the emperor in private two days ago.
"It's just a coincidence, just a fluke."
After all, Zhang Yantong is not one of his own, and Chen Yuan will not act so conceited.
"As I said just now, you don't need to be restrained in front of me."
"yes."
"Did Jiang He ask you to bring anything?"
Zhang Yantong knew that the relationship between Chen Yuan and Jiang He was extraordinary, otherwise he would not have helped him many times, and he took it for granted that the other party would say something to him through Chen Yuan.
For Jiang He, one of the top three strong men on the list, he undoubtedly wants to be included in his faction. If this is the case, the Zhang faction can truly become the strongest force among the three factions of the Tianxian Division. .
If Jiang He breaks through Huayang, he will be able to become his right-hand man. Of course, he also values Chen Yuan, a boy with extraordinary talent.
Otherwise, he would not have repeatedly spoken for him, and told Zhang Xuan to befriend him and ask him to come to him first when he came to the capital, just to give him a few pointers.
Maybe a few years later, this person will be Jiang He again!
Chen Yuan nodded, took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Zhang Yantong:
"This is what Jiang Jinshi asked his nephew to bring to his uncle."
Seeing how solemn the other party was, Zhang Yantong also calmed down. He opened the letter in his hand and read it word for word, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
Chen Yuan, on the other hand, was sipping the spiritual tea with a calm expression.
After a long time, Zhang Yantong slowly put away the letter in his hand, looked directly at Chen Yuan and said:
"Do you want to be the commander of the imperial city?"
Chen Yuan nodded:
"I heard that one of the four commanders of the Imperial City has been promoted recently, and my nephew is interested in giving it a try."
"Jiang He really values you, and he actually came to Zhang."
"Gold envoys love."
"The position of commander of the imperial city is critical and not easy to fill. Are you confident that you can do it well?" Zhang Yantong looked at him solemnly and asked.
"Is it as difficult as being number one on the Hidden Dragon List?"
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Yantong was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly:
"Good boy, Zhang asked you not to be formal, but you are really not modest at all."
"Since my uncle has spoken, my nephew will naturally not disobey him."
"Okay, since you are so conceited, even if there is no letter from Jiang He, Zhang will try his best to help you get the position." Zhang Yantong said with a hearty smile.
Jiang He's letters have arrived, and it's impossible for him not to help. He even wishes that the other party would ask him for more things to deepen his involvement, and Chen Yuan's words should be nicer.
Of course, the main reason why he did not swear to tell Chen Yuan that the matter was safe was because the leadership of the imperial city was of great importance, and he not only had to obtain the approval of several other divine envoys internally, but also the emperor's approval.
It wouldn't have been a difficult matter before, after all, the emperor would generally not refute their recommendation on this matter, but now, with the Imperial Supervisor's Office looking eagerly at him, Cao Yungou has won the trust of Jingtai, and is gradually competing with the Tiantian Inspector's Office. Quan, it seems that this matter is a bit difficult to handle.
"Thank you uncle for your help."
"You should thank yourself most. Now that you have caught His Majesty's eye, he plans to focus on training you. If Zhang Mou proposes, there is a high possibility that His Majesty will agree."
If it were anyone else, Zhang Yantong would not have much confidence to promote him to the top position, but Chen Yuan was different. He had already caught the emperor's eye, and the position of commander of the imperial city was not too difficult.
Of course, the premise is that Cao Zhengxian will not deliberately create difficulties.
After a while, Chen Yuan and Zhang Yantong talked a lot. Most of the time, Zhang Yantong was talking, reminding him of some things and telling him some of the situations in the capital.
It was as if he really treated him as his own nephew.
The things he said made him nod frequently. Sometimes these secrets couldn't even be bought at Dengxian Tower.
It is true that Dengxianlou has great magical powers, but it is impossible to master everything.
While talking, Zhang Yantong talked about Zhang Xuan and asked how he was doing, and Chen Yuan answered truthfully.
At noon, Chen Yuan was invited to the Zhang family's family dinner and met several of Zhang Xuan's brothers and sisters. One of the sisters was really pretty...
After a simple meal, Zhang Yantong sent someone to the palace to hand over a greeting card, preparing to take Chen Yuan to see the emperor.
