Chapter 425： Commander of the imperial city!

Chapter 425 High position, ruler of the imperial city!

Given Jingtai's order, Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't continue to fight. In fact, he was already ready to give up. Beating Yang Yuanqing half to death was enough.

If it is really a killer, there will inevitably be unpredictable consequences.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't.

At least in front of Jingtai, he can't do this under the watchful eyes of everyone. After all, before the fight, he didn't say that he should live or die, but beating him half to death almost achieved his goal.

Unless Cao Zhengxian was willing to use spiritual objects for treatment, Yang Yuanqing would not be able to recover within a few months.

In all fairness, Yang Yuanqing's strength is very strong. It is not as simple as entering Shidan for the first time, but a veteran Shidan master. His age looks young, but he is actually nearly forty years old.

If it was against other Xu Dan, Yang Yuanqing could easily suppress it with his strength, but he happened to meet Chen Yuan.

Who is Chen Yuan?

That is the number one in the immortal battle, the number one in the Qianlong list, and the famous person in the rivers and lakes, whose physical body is only half a step away from the "King Kong is not bad".

The cultivation base of qi refining has also reached the peak of Xu Dan, and he has the help of magic weapons in his hands. The most important thing is that what Chen Yuan formed is the Phenomenon Pill, which is extraordinary.

The help brought to Chen Yuan was extremely great.

With his strength, without the cultivation base of Tiandan, it is just a dream to defeat him.

Even though Yang Yuanqing possesses peerless swordsmanship and body protection skills, the gap with him is not even a star and a half. You must know that Chen Yuan seems to have used all his strength at the moment.

But there is still the hole card of 'Hualong' that has not been used.

If there weren't so many people paying attention and Chen Yuan unscrupulously exploded his strength, Yang Yuanqing would definitely die within a hundred breaths!

When Yang Yuanqing on the ground heard Jingtai's words, he let go of his heart. Just now he really thought that he was about to die in Chen Yuan's hands.

That dangerous feeling is still scary when I think about it.

The eyes looking at Chen Yuan are also intertwined with various expressions, three parts are resentment, three parts are admiration, three parts are fear, and one part is indescribable surrender.

Chen Yuan glanced at Yang Yuanqing who was on the ground, and was not interested in perceiving any fan-shaped statistical charts. He only saw fear and hatred, which was enough.

Slowly walking down from the void, Chen Yuan came to Jingtai and bowed:

"My minister sees Your Majesty."

Jingtai stared at Chen Yuan, and said after a long time:

"Sure enough, I am worthy of being the minister of the humerus. With such strength, it is normal to defeat the world's heroes."

"I'm terrified, I don't dare to be praised by His Majesty, but it's just better than Eunuch Yang by luck." Chen Yuan said modest words, but his eyes deeply believed it.

Others were speechless when they heard what Chen Yuan said, especially when they saw Yang Yuanqing who was dying. Do you call being seriously injured and dying a fluke?

The aura on Chen Yuan's body has not declined in the slightest. It is what it was before, and it is what it is now.

Jingtai looked indifferently:

"Since you have defeated Yang Yuanqing, what I promised before will naturally be agreed. From today onwards, you will be the commander of the Eastern Imperial City."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"From now on, the important task of guarding the Eastern Imperial City will be handed over to you."

"The humble minister will live up to His Majesty's trust."

Chen Yuan said solemnly.

"You young people need to communicate more. Chen Yuan is a talent, and he has done very well in Qingzhou. You have lived in the palace of the capital for a long time, and you must understand the affairs of the world." Jingtai turned his eyes to several princes and said.

"My son obeys the order."

"My son obeys the order."

Several princes hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Tired, go back to the palace."

Jingtai never looked at Yang Yuanqing from the beginning to the end, as if he was just a servant with no sense of existence. In his eyes, the loser has little value.

A green-robed **** next to Jingtai immediately choked the voice of the male duck and said loudly:

"Drive back to the palace!"

More than a dozen eunuchs and maids who served immediately bowed and saluted, Jingtai turned and left directly.

"I respectfully send your majesty off."

"My humble minister is waiting for His Majesty."

Behind him, there are voices.

Cao Zhengxian looked at Chen Yuan with a light smile and said:

"Emissary Chen Qing is quite capable, and the governor admires you very much. Remember, there will always be a seat for you in the Imperial Supervisory Department."

He didn't have any unpleasant expression because of Yang Yuanqing's defeat, as if he didn't care at all. But Chen Yuan did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you for your kindness."

Cao Zhengxian smiled, and with a wave of his hand, Yang Yuanqing who was on the ground in the distance immediately hung in the air, and he said lightly: "Trash."

Then, grabbing Yang Yuanqing, turned and left.

"Chen Yuan, come to the Sky Survey Division tomorrow."

Zhang Yantong said.

"Yes, the humble post obeys."

"Not bad." Zuo Tiancheng commented.

"This envoy is very optimistic about you, not bad."

Wu Tianxi also nodded and chuckled.

"God overrated your lord."

One person said a word, other than that, the three envoys didn't say anything, as if they left it until tomorrow, and Yukong left the imperial city directly.

The imperial palace is forbidden to be empty, but the imperial city cannot be empty.

Otherwise, just such a distance is not a short distance for those courtiers attending the court meeting.

When everyone left, there were only four princes and princesses and Chen Yuan left.

Eldest Prince Sima Gan stepped forward with a smile, cupped his hands and said:

"I, Sima Gan, met Chen Qingshi."

"Meet Your Highness."

Chen Yuan cupped his hands neither humble nor overbearing.

Second Prince Sima You also said with a smile on his face:

"I heard about Chen Qing's name earlier, and today I saw him. He is tall and straight, his strength is astonishing, and his literary talents are rare in the world. He casually said that life and death are the same, he is daring, and his promise is worth a thousand dollars. You feel a sense of pride and loyalty. Chen Qing It would be a great loss to the literary world if you didn't follow the literary path."

"The Second Highness is overrated, Yuan is just talking nonsense, it is not as good as His Highness."

"Second brother's words are wrong. Envoy Chen Qing should practice martial arts. Otherwise, how could there be the first Qianlong list in the imperial court? How can he make a name for the imperial court?

With the strength of Chen Qingshi, I am afraid that he will be able to rank in the ranking list when he breaks through the Shidan. "

Sima Gan smiled heartily.

The wind and cloud list in his mouth is the land list in the immortal list, and all the alchemy masters are included, and there are a total of 72 included, each of whom is a rare master in the world.

Of course, the Wind and Cloud Ranking has the same age limit as the Qianlong Ranking. Only warriors under the age of seventy can enter the ranking, which is basically very loose.

The alchemy master is known as the longevity of the three Jiazi, but most of the warriors can't live to this age, and the warriors who can exceed the lifespan of the three Jiazi are even rarer.

Someone once said that the average lifespan of a master of alchemy is only about 150 years.

Once a warrior is over seventy, his qi, blood, and true alchemy will begin to gradually decline. If he is over a hundred years old, the chance of breaking through Huayang is only one percent.

So the age of seventy is a watershed for the alchemy master.

Of course, there are no restrictions on the Supreme Ranking. It depends on one's own strength. Those who can be on the Supreme Ranking are all Yangshen Zhenjun, and their potentials, including others, have basically come to an end.

After all, which warrior who can break through Huayang and even Yuanshen level is not an extraordinary talent?

"His Royal Highness is overrated."

Chen Yuan smiled.

Although the few in front of him are princes, Chen Yuan is not afraid of them. If the other party is willing to treat each other as equals, then it is fine to make friends. If the other party is putting on airs, then he does not need to bother.

Isn’t Wei Wuque, the heir of the Prince of Northern Liang, also equal to each other?

If it is true, the prince of Beiliang is not inferior to the several princes present. He is the definite heir and will be able to ascend the throne of Beiliang in the future.

And it is not certain which of these princes will be able to take the position.

Don’t you see how many envoys of Huayang gods don’t pay much attention to the princes?

As long as they are not the crown prince, other princes will be assigned or imprisoned when the new emperor takes the throne, and they will become like breeding pigs in the royal family. Therefore, generally high-ranking and powerful people do not need a team at all.

Only those civil officials who pretend to be noble want to train a wise king. Besides, some low-ranking officials want to compete for success.

But all the senior members of the fourth rank, unless they are connected by blood, have to fight.

The rest, there are few warriors.

Emperor would not allow it either. The current Emperor's alchemy cultivation base is not even fifty years old, and he still has at least a hundred years of life to live. The team is of no great use.

Could it be possible to kill the king?

Even in the eyes of many people, the reason why the emperor did not establish a prince was based on this consideration. Anyway, his lifespan is still early, so there is no need to establish a prince.

If none of these princes has broken through the alchemy realm, it is not certain who will live longer.

"No, you think what the elder brother said is good. With Chen Qingshi's strength, it's only a matter of time before he gets on the Billboard." Sima You laughed.

Seeing the people chatting and laughing happily, Sima Ke snorted softly, apparently not having that much respect for his two elder brothers, and stepped forward to invite them with flickering eyes:

"Emissary Chen Qing, if you have some free time today, why don't you come to the mansion for a briefing?"

As soon as Sima Ke spoke, Sima Gan and Sima You frowned at the same time, and the eldest prince said:

"There are still some wine and beauties in my mansion. Even if they want to go, Chen Qingshi should also go to my mansion. Fourth brother should cultivate himself."

"Beautiful wine. Hehe, big brother, how can Chen Qingshi be so vulgar? My mansion is full of ancient books, poems and paintings. Chen Qingshi should go to my mansion and comment on it."

After the princes become adults, they will be allowed to open a mansion in the outer city, which can be regarded as giving them some private space.

So they each have a mansion, if anyone fails to seize the heirloom in the future, his mansion will be named the king's mansion.

Looking at the words of several people, Chen Yuan politely refused:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but Chen has just experienced a battle today, and he is a little tired, and he is going to go back to rest."

It’s fine to talk and laugh, but don’t try to pull him into a certain faction’s camp. He doesn’t want to be used as a spearman and be hated by other princes. Even if he participates in the seizure of the heir apparent, it must be voluntary and he wants to go further.

Si Ma Ke was not angry either, and said with a light smile:

"There is an old friend of Envoy Chen Qing in my mansion, so I won't say much about who it is. Since Envoy Chen Qing has something to do in the past few days, I will invite another day. I hope that Envoy Chen Qing can give Ke some face next time."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Princess Pingyang and said:

"Miss Huang."

Princess Pingyang's eyes flickered, she also stepped forward, and said to Chen Yuan:

"Pingyang met Chen Qingshi."

"His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

I have to say that the genes of the Sima family are good. Whether it is Sima Ke, Sima Gan or Sima You, they are both handsome, and Pingyang, who is the eldest princess, is also very good-looking.

In his opinion, they are on par with Yu Qingyan, and their auras are also different.

Princess Pingyang has a graceful and luxurious temperament, which makes people want to conquer.

"Pingyang admires Chen Qingshi's brilliant literary talents and martial arts skills. I also want to invite Qingshi to the palace for a gathering. What do you think of Qingshi?" Princess Pingyang tapped her teeth, her voice graceful.

But Chen Yuan was unmoved, and still kept the same rhetoric as before.

"That's all, I hope that after a while, the Japanese Youth Envoy will not refuse Pingyang's invitation." She said with a light smile.

"Definitely next time."

"Farewell."

"Princess, walk slowly."

Pingyang bowed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and left with Sima Ke, the direction was the direction of the palace.

Chen Yuan looked at the backs of the two, but his eyes were mainly focused on Sima Ke, but he was unmoved by the graceful figure of Princess Pingyang beside him.

He was thinking, who is the old man Sima Ke was talking about?

He seems to have no old acquaintances in the capital except Tao Qingyuan.

"Chen Qingshi, I also resigned."

Eldest Prince Sima Gan smiled lightly.

"Your Highness, please go ahead."

In a blink of an eye, only Chen Yuan and Sima You were left here. Just as he was about to leave, Sima You said:

"I'm going out of the imperial city too, why don't envoy Chen Qing come with me?"

"it is good."

Walking on the bluestone slabs of the imperial city, Sima You and Chen Yuan were talking to each other, and the other party's behavior was indeed as gentle and refined as rumored.

He doesn't look like a prince, but rather a gentleman-like literati.

Moreover, the other party doesn't have the slightest cultivation base, it seems that he only studies and does not practice martial arts.

The character of the other party is as gentle as water, and he asked Chen Yuan very curiously if he had any other poems. Chen Yuan smiled and said that he was just a vulgar warrior,

How do you know what poetry?

What I said before was just a casual remark, just out of my mouth.

He does still have some poems and essays, and it is cool to be a copywriter, but he doesn't like it. He is a scholar who is useless, and his character believes in strength.

I don’t want to please Sima You, so why copy poems to please him?

While talking, the other party asked when Chen Yuan came to the capital, and Chen Yuan told the truth. When Sima You heard that Chen Yuan had just come to the capital, he warmly invited Chen Yuan to live in his mansion temporarily before he had a place to live.

But Chen Yuan still declined with a smile. If he really lived in the second prince's mansion, it would basically be equivalent to Chen Yuan supporting the second prince in the eyes of outsiders.

Even Jiang He and Zhang Yantong might be considered as betting on the second prince Sima You.

Currently Chen Yuan seems to be a loner, but everyone knows the close relationship between him and Jiang He. This time, he took the Zhang family's avenue again, and it is also believed that he is favored by Zhang Yantong.

As a high-ranking and powerful envoy of the Sky Surveyor, Huayang real people like Zhang Yantong are the ones that these princes value, and this is one of the reasons why they were so enthusiastic before.

Out of the imperial city, Chen Yuan bid farewell to the second prince, Sima You, and walked towards an inn in the capital. He didn't want to stay temporarily in the mansions of several princes.

He also didn’t want to live in Zhang’s mansion, even though Zhang Yantong had invited him before, and even though there was a beautiful sister Zhang Xuan in Zhang’s mansion, he still didn’t want to go.

Anyway, it wasn't his home.

Although it can't be called living under a fence, it's still a bit uncomfortable. It's not like he can't afford a house in the capital.

Even though the mansion in the capital city is close to the imperial city, every inch of land is expensive, but he is not in vain. He searched Tangshan Mansion.

The silver that he accidentally picked up is now in the book in his hand.

He didn’t bring much with him this trip, only 10,000 taels of silver and 3,000 taels of gold, but the total value was 40,000 taels of silver, let alone buying one.

Even if you buy eight out of ten places, it's easy.

Not to mention the dozens of Yuanjing on his body, with his worth, few people in the Alchemy Realm can match it, and this is also the pursuit of many officials.

But most of them are not as rich as him, able to completely control a land, and eradicate those powers that have accumulated for tens of hundreds of years.

Although it takes some to expand the power, there is still a lot of surplus.

Walking on the streets of the capital, Chen Yuan habitually looked back on what happened today, from beginning to end, like watching a movie.

Suddenly, his legs stopped, thinking of the scene in the imperial garden.

Everything else was normal, except that something was wrong when Jingtai received the Wanmin Umbrella. He remembered that it was Jingtai who took the initiative to see the Wanmin Umbrella.

But he only touched it once, then withdrew his hand.

At that time, he didn't think there was anything wrong, and he didn't think too much about it, but if he looked back now, he could find something wrong. Could it be that he thought too much?

Chen Yuan couldn't help frowning.

There seems to be nothing wrong with the Wanmin Umbrella. It is an ordinary umbrella woven by ordinary people. He has never paid much attention to it, and usually puts it in the book of heaven.

That is, when I meet Jingtai today, I will take it out and present it for him to have a look.

Thinking about it, Chen Yuan really couldn't think of any problems for the king of a country, so he put aside this somewhat doubtful question for the time being, and thought of the matter of taking over as the commander of the imperial city.

This trip was quite smooth, although there were some twists and turns, but in the end it was successfully ascended to this seat. Now everything is ready, and the only thing left is to worship the ancestors.

Of course, the premise is that the people from the Taoist Palace tell him the land of the dragon veins, otherwise he may have to find it himself.

In this vast capital city, it is not easy to find it. The most important thing is that in his opinion, dragon veins are generally in the imperial city, and it is not easy to enter and exit there.

Even though the identity of the commander of the imperial city is convenient, it is still possible to be noticed.

Not long after, Chen Yuan arrived at the inn and asked for a good room. After setting up the formation, he couldn't wait to tell Jiang He that he had ascended to the position of commander of the imperial city.

And his answer is relatively concise:

——

Are you there? Looking for a monthly pass?
