Patrol Captain

"General Chen, my two lords, please move and follow me to the back courtyard to rest!"

"It's just right. We have one more person who happens to be in your house!" Chen Yuan smiled and waved his hands behind his back.

"Huh?" Prefect Li Xun was stunned and confused after hearing this.

Half a cup of tea later, in a small courtyard at the backyard of the government office, people gathered.

The Li family's several concubines, maids, nannies, and other girls, mostly women, crowded together, like a small Grand View Garden.

At this time, the backyard was in a bit of chaos. Someone fell to the ground, patting his chest, looking frightened, shouting "Master, Master", with maids supporting him. Someone else was yelling, saying someone fainted from fright, and asked for water. Then someone came running over, shouting "Water is coming, water is coming..."
What a noise!
At this moment, someone outside shouted, the voice revealing surprise.

"My lord is back!"

Then, the crowded yard immediately became lively, and a crowd of people rushed to the gate.

The maids and nannies quickly helped the frightened women forward and saw their backbone.

"Thank God, sir, you are back safely."

"Master, are you okay? Are you injured anywhere? We were all terrified. I fainted when I saw you being knocked down from the sky."

"Yeah yeah."

The mistress of the Li Mansion and several concubines came up to him and started to feel around Li Xun, asking him about his health. As they spoke, they wiped their tears with their handkerchiefs.

They saw their master being knocked down to the sky by a giant. Combined with the horrifying scene outside, some of them fainted on the spot, fearing that their master had met with an accident.

Now that the master is back, everyone feels relieved.

At this time, the prefect Li Xun, who had just stepped into the courtyard, was pulled by several wives and concubines and was about to be drowned. His official robe was pulled crooked. Thinking that there were several nobles behind him, he was afraid of losing etiquette and quickly broke free.

"Go away, go away, how disrespectful! I'm fine, please don't be disrespectful in front of such an important person!" Li Xun said, wanting to put on a stern face, but seeing that the people in the inner room were worried about him, he did not dare to lose his temper.

Then, he bowed slightly, made way, and revealed the nobleman behind him. His expression changed, becoming respectful. He supported the hand of the young man in green who was leading the group behind him, and said softly:
"General Chen, this is my wife and concubines. They were so worried about me that I was rude. I hope you can forgive me."

After saying this, he turned his head again and saw that the lady and the others were stunned. He coughed heavily.
"Hurry up and greet the adults!"

"This General Chen is the honored guest of the commander-in-chief!"

"This is Master Xu, the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Academy!"

"This is Lord Gou, the Third Inspector!"

When the women heard the titles of the three men, their pupils widened with shock. They were officials and knew clearly what these titles meant. In their eyes, they were the most powerful people.

So he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and the maids and servants behind him also knelt and saluted.

"Greetings, three adults!"

"."

A large group of people suddenly knelt down at the foot of the steps leading to the entrance.

Just then, a slightly old voice called out from behind the crowd.

"Pun'er!"

"Pun'er!"

Just across the patio, an old lady with silver hair on her temples came towards this side, supported by a woman in dark blue gentleman's clothes.

The old woman had worry in her eyes and her steps were a little unsteady as she walked through the kneeling crowd towards this side.

Prefect Li Xun, who had been very respectful and cautious in front of Chen Yuan and the other two, raised his head and hurried down the stairs. The expression on his face was completely different from when he was facing other people.

"aunt!"

Li Xun came to the old woman, and with his tall body in official uniform, he bent down and supported the old woman.

When the old woman saw him, her eyes, which were covered with years of experience, were filled with love and concern. She felt around Li Xun's arm and asked, "Are you okay?"

"The child is fine!" Li Xun shook his head.

At this time, Li Yu, who was wearing a dark blue gentleman's suit, whispered,
"Father, my aunt got into trouble because of you and her old illness relapsed. Fortunately, the old man was by her side."

When Li Yu said this, Li Xun remembered something and his face froze. He suddenly looked to the side and back of the old woman and saw the old man wearing a bamboo hat standing behind her.

There was a distinguished person in the mansion at the moment, and he knew that now was not the time to lose his temper, so he spoke in a muffled voice with a somewhat stiff tone to the old man who was approaching.
"Your Excellency rescued my aunt, and I am grateful to you, but we have distinguished guests in the mansion today, so please leave now."

"He, the Japanese official, came to talk again."

He was polite and sensible, and did not make the atmosphere too awkward due to his selfish motives.

But then a gentle voice sounded.

"slow!"

As the voice rang out, Li Xun was startled. He turned around and saw General Chen, who had just displayed his prowess outside the city, walking towards him.

He subconsciously turned aside and wanted to say something, but saw General Chen walk up to the old man wearing a bamboo hat.

Under his astonished gaze, the old man in the bamboo hat wanted to bend his knees, but he saw General Chen smiling and bowing to his armrest.
"gentlemen!"

"It seems that you still have old things to do, sir. I am happy for you. At least this trip is not in vain."

Under the bamboo hat, Gongsun Yang's expression was moved.

He knew that this was the general's greatest respect for him in front of everyone and in front of his old friends.

A gentleman will die for his friend. He followed Chen Yuan all the way and was deeply impressed by him.

At this moment, Prefect Li Xun and other people in the courtyard raised their heads, their faces filled with shock and surprise.

Especially Li Xun, he knew that the person in front of him was a master with the great magical powers of dragon and tiger. The fact that the other party called this old man of his aunt "Sir" showed his importance, and his face was blank for a moment.

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the kind-looking old woman in front of him. Judging from her bone structure, this old woman must have been a beauty when she was young, but her face was pale and she looked listless, making her look older than her actual age.

"I think the old lady is an old friend of Mr. Gongsun. I see that the old lady is in poor health. This is the dragon scale left when I killed a dragon. Wearing it for a long time can cure the old lady's stubborn illness!"

As he spoke, Chen Yuan flipped his hand, and a crystal-colored dragon scale that sparkled with blue light hung above his right hand.

It exudes the purest water essence, as crystal clear as jade, glowing with the rays of light, and magnificent.

This scene shocked everyone around. All of them stared at the dragon scales that looked like gorgeous gems, and couldn't help but reveal an obsessive look in their eyes.

The old woman saw this scene and looked at the young man in blue in front of her, who was noble. She didn't know Chen Yuan's identity yet. Li Xun had just introduced him to her, and she was still far away. In addition, there were many people and it was noisy. But she was also a person who had seen the world, so she was afraid that he was extraordinary.

"Xun'er, who is this?" She looked at Li Xun.

When Prefect Li Xun saw that this mighty dragon and tiger master actually gave a gift to his aunt, which was a scale of a dragon, and judging from the fluctuations of its essence, it was obviously not an ordinary dragon scale, he felt complicated for a moment.

So he pursed his lips and said with a dry mouth:
"Aunt, this is the Ninth Lieutenant of Shu, the distinguished guest of the General. When I meet him, I must address him as Dragon and Tiger!"

"The battle outside the city just now was the work of this general!" After he said that, there was a cry of surprise in the yard, and everyone opened their eyes wide for a moment, but soon the cry quickly subsided and the atmosphere became quiet.

The master just introduced this young man as a general and a distinguished guest of the commander-in-chief. Everyone just knew that the person who came was an important person.

Now that the master has said that this gentle-looking young man in front of him was actually the protagonist of the horrific battle outside the city, the feeling given to people is completely different.

They could only get a glimpse of the horrific battle outside the city just now, but the god-like figure now appeared in front of them, making them feel nervous instantly.

After hearing this, the old woman lowered her body and saluted. Li Yu, who was wearing men's clothes beside her, widened her beautiful eyes and suddenly remembered the back of the young man in blue clothes she saw in the inn. It was obviously this man. In a trance, she quickly helped the old lady to bow together.
"I didn't know the general was coming, and I was so neglectful. The general gave me a gift, and I am very grateful. But this gift is too expensive, and I really can't accept it."

The old lady's manners were quite elegant, perhaps it was the temperament condensed by the years.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan raised his hand and helped the old woman up from a distance, then looked at Gongsun Yang.

"Madam, please don't refuse. This time, Mr. Gongsun and I came to the capital. I never thought that you would meet an old friend here. You followed me in the battles of the south and the north, guarded the borders, made great military achievements, and were respected by others. Today, we have met this rare fate. This little gift is nothing."

He looked at Gongsun Yang deeply with a smile on his face, which made Gongsun Yang's old face turn red.

Then, he turned his gaze to the other side, where Li Xun had a gloomy expression, and said, "Besides, we'll be here tonight to bother you all night, so don't push this little thing around."

"Master Li!"

"I'm here!" Li Xun quickly restored his facial expression and responded.

"Please accept this dragon scale on behalf of the old lady. Ask a craftsman to polish it and wear it on your body. Don't say much." As he said this, Chen Yuan flew the flowing light in his hand to Li Xun.

Li Xun received it, and quickly bowed down, raised his hands above his head, bowed, and performed a great ceremony.

"I thank the general on behalf of my aunt!"

At this time, on the other side, in the west city of Baoqing Prefecture.

The aftermath of the war seemed to be quickly subsiding.

Inside the city, the government troops mobilized massively, completely blocking off the west city to maintain order, and activated a large formation to drive away the onlookers.

Outside the city, the devastated land is being repaired under the magical powers of various mountain gods and land gods.

The God of Land brought some grass-headed gods with him and blew up the ground flat from the cracks in the earth that were as cracked as cattle and horses.

It's like a giant mountain god piecing together huge pieces of shattered rocks to form hills, like stacking large building blocks.

These pictures look magical and extraordinary in the dark night.

The battlefield left by the battle between the dragon and the tiger was like a spider web, with countless mountains shattered. It involved hundreds of miles of land and was terrifying. It was obvious that it would take a long time for some grass-headed gods to repair it.

Their main task was to repair the official roads.

Fortunately, there is a seal like a divine object above the sky that releases powerful waves to repair the most destructive sky. Otherwise, the remaining space cracks will turn this area into a forbidden area.

Just as the city and its surroundings were quickly repairing the effects of the war, an area of ​​land was cleared outside the city.

The two men knelt on the ground, their entire bodies were impaled on wooden stakes, and their hands were tied behind their backs to the stakes.

One male and one female.

The man was in his forties and his face was disfigured. His entire face looked as if it had been burned by fire, with hideous flesh and blood exposed among the charred skin. These were not new wounds, but old ones.

The other woman was wearing a green silk dress and had a pretty face, but the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes proved that she was quite old.

The two of them had disheveled hair, but they exuded an extraordinary aura. The disfigured man, Musashi, opened four temples, and the woman, Musashi, opened three temples.

But despite the two men's strong aura, they could not escape from an ordinary wooden stake. They were trapped here and humiliated in a kneeling posture.

But neither of them dared to breathe.

At this moment, in front of the two of them, a domineering figure stood in front of them.

It was Mu Yuntian, the general of the Three Qins.

The general's eyes were grim at this moment, and he looked down at the two people kneeling on the ground.

“Who will speak first?”

"Who is the person behind you?"

"I will only ask once. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for killing you. I just want to stay safe in my position and don't want to cause any trouble."

His voice was murderous, and the dragon-tiger pressure wreaked havoc on the two men.

These two people were the "scapegoats" he captured after destroying the two void projections.

Someone placed a wisp of divine seed on the two of them, using it to travel through the void and attack from a distance.

He spoke, the disfigured Musashi's expression remained unchanged, and the green lotus woman's eyes flickered a little under the pressure of the dragon and tiger.

"I am from Yuzhang Youlong Palace!"

"The old dragon raised by Senior Qian Yunzi was killed by Jiu Zhonglang at the critical moment of its transformation. Qian Yunzi had previously used this dragon to make a deal with me in Youlong Palace, which also involved a place in the Luotian Grand Ceremony. After receiving the letter, I was sent to help."

"My master is the Lord of Youlong Palace. I hope the general will be lenient with me!"

The woman explained the cause of the incident.

He then brought up his own master's teachings, allowing the general to think about it.

When Mu Yuntian heard that this person came from another road, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"From Yuzhang!"

"If you dare to cross the line, you will die!"

As he spoke, the green radish girl's pupils suddenly shrank, and the general appeared in an instant and slapped the girl on the head with his big hand.

"boom"

Under the might of the dragon and the tiger, the woman could not withstand even a single palm strike, and her body and soul were shattered into pieces.

The spurting blood splashed directly on the disfigured face and body next to him!

"What about you?"

Mu Yuntian stood in front of this man, and an extremely oppressive aura pressed on him, causing the hideous flesh on his face to roll.

However, this man still did not show any fear, and seemed to have a very strong character.

Instead, the man laughed strangely and said, "General Mu, just search my sleeves and you'll know!"

Mu Yuntian tore the piece of gold through the air, and a piece of gold-glittering plaque fell out of the man's sleeve and landed on the ground.

Mu Yuntian frowned when he saw this. (End of this chapter)
