Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 363 - 306: Senior, It’s Time to Raise a Dragon_2

"Hehe, hearing Miss Dugu speak like that, it is indeed fitting, both emotionally and logically, for me to sit in this position," Chen Yuan said with a smile, nodding his head before turning his face slightly,

"Tiansheng, issue the command, the entire Ninth Mountain Army to be on high alert, and the troops enlisted from various mansions must also hurry on the road, besides"

At this point, Chen Yuan paused, his tone dark and uncertain,

"Send a message to General Wei at Tianxiong Pass, if he encounters the newly appointed Demon Suppression Envoy leading troops into the pass, send an urgent dispatch to me over Eight Hundred Miles!"

"Acknowledged!"

Yun Tiansheng seemed just like a machine following orders, even if the command Chen Yuan issued held some astonishing information, he still left without any expression, obeying the orders.

"Could it be that the General is planning a rebellion?"

Dugu Jialuo’s beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, uttering shocking words as if she enjoyed chaos in the world.

"General Chen!"

Qin Rushuang’s complexion turned stern, then she quickly tugged at her good friend, not able to help herself from leaning forward,

"Don’t listen to Sister Jialuo’s nonsense. Rushuang once fought side by side with the General and knows his nature well. This matter involves too many connections, General must not act rashly."

Seeing Qin Rushuang so earnest, Dugu Jialuo originally wanted to tease her. Just yesterday, when she brought up this news, the other party was infuriated; it was she who had to persuade. Now, it’s as if their roles have switched.

However, she held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, as it was rare to see Qin Rushuang like this. She couldn’t take it too far. Her beautiful eyes glanced over this Colonel of the Ninth Mountain and toned it down a bit,

"Little Sister Qin is right, I’m someone who speaks my mind. I hope General Chen won’t take offense."

"Kikiki!"

Chen Yuan couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the two beautiful women, one icy and earnest, and the other charming like a vixen, "Rest assured, I would indeed welcome more people from the Court. In the end, I’m but a martial artist; how could I manage such a large territory?"

Saying that, his tone became lighter, with his eyes squinting slightly,

"As for the position of Demon Suppression Envoy, it’s been so long since the Demons broke through, I had long guessed the Court’s reaction. Regardless of their purposes, as long as the troops they bring can fight on the frontline and hold off the Demons, I’d welcome them with open arms!" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Hehe"

The words Chen Yuan said were actually true. The Demon Suppression Envoy is second only to the Demon Suppression General, effectively acting as the deputy leader, directly appointed by the Court, indeed a Sealing Border Official.

Not to mention his defense of Jingguan City these days, the Court hasn’t sent out a single message. As for the position of Demon Suppression Envoy, it’s been so long since the Demons broke through, and other than sending two Chamberlains to a pointless death, the Court hasn’t made any move at all; they couldn’t care less about their lives.

He had long stopped expecting anything from the Court!

As for the new appointment of Demon Suppression Envoy, hehe.

Chen Yuan had a smile on his face that made it hard to distinguish its genuineness.

About an hour later,

Qin Rushuang and Dugu Jialuo left the warm and pleasant Colonel Palace, bidding farewell to Chen Yuan.

After that, instead of walking down the mountain as they had come, they soared into the snowy winds below the mountain, their clothing flapping, like dancing fairies. Outside the great hall, many watchful Armored Soldiers and servants couldn’t help but look up.

The two ladies had an elegant air and were considered peerless beauties, making onlookers envious. Only an important person such as the General could interact with such women.

Meanwhile, in front of the two ladies flying down the mountain, a silver Token shimmered, guiding them through the layered Prohibition light screens hidden in the wind and snow.

"Sister, do you think General Chen might actually rebel?" Dugu Jialuo, with her phoenix eyes narrowed, seemed very interested.

"I have known General Chen for some time. He cares for his soldiers and pities the common people. He wouldn’t let the situation become more chaotic; he has great ambition," Qin Rushuang shook her head, lifting a delicate hand to imbue the Token in front of her with Spirit Light.

"Hehe, my dear sister, one thing is one thing, and another thing is another. I believe the General says he welcomes the new Demon Suppression Envoy, but do you believe that if the newcomer offends General Chen, he would turn against him on the spot?" Dugu Jialuo implied something deep.

"Sister Jialuo, you’ve only met the General for the first time, why are you so certain?" Qin Rushuang didn’t argue, feeling helpless, knowing it was just her sister’s nature. After all, this woman had made quite a stir in the Imperial Capital with her crazy actions before.

Dugu Jialuo didn’t reply because she sensed a rebellious streak in this Colonel’s nature, similar to her father’s. She thought about it, her beautiful eyes shifting to the silver Token, and with a coquettish smile,

"Dear sister, why don’t you give me that Token? I developed some interest in this Colonel."

Qin Rushuang’s face changed slightly. This crazed woman had something mischievous in mind, surely not intending to bring disaster to others.

"No way!"

She refused, then realizing she declined too hastily, she added,

"This is a military area, not suitable for transfer, and..."

This Token was given to Qin Rushuang by Chen Yuan just now when they were reminiscing, allowing her to pass freely in and out of Ninth Mountain from now on.

She wanted to continue, only to be interrupted by the brazen, bell-like laughter next to her, causing Qin Rushuang’s face to turn unnaturally red, followed by an annoyed glare back.

With that, the two women disappeared into the snowstorm at the foot of the mountain, accompanied by the woman’s silvery laughter.

.......

Meanwhile, after the departure of the two women, inside the Ninth Mountain Colonel Hall, crackling sounds were heard from the fire basin.

Chen Yuan sat in the vast and empty hall, his expression clouded and indistinct.

The Court, sending a new Demon Suppression Envoy to Shu at this time, would soon make his nominal position as the Colonel in charge of Jingguan City a laughing stock; his political influence is about to slip away.

From what the two women shared, these people were coming for the Luck of Shu. Chen Yuan had no illusions that they would be courteous to him and even expected that they might take harsh measures against him, who was just beginning to get a grip on Jingguan City.

After all, he stood in their way!

Once he showed signs of weakness, the authority and respect he had worked so hard to establish would collapse in an instant, and those families that had pledged loyalty to him might turn their backs or even retaliate fiercely.

Chen Yuan knew this was inevitable.

All of this was unavoidable, but there was no sign of panic or cowardice in Chen Yuan’s eyes. Instead, they shone with a blazing fire. Everything he had was fought for, earned over piles of White Bones, not given in charity by others.

While he was contemplating his strategies,

"Thump, thump, thump,"

footsteps echoed from outside the spacious hall.

Following this, an Armored Soldier in white robes entered.

"General!"

"The Jin Family Head, Jin Mingquan, is waiting outside the Heavenly Patrol Hall."

Military aide Gao Yu came to report back.

Chen Yuan responded indifferently,

"Let him wait!"

He then stood up with a piercing light in his eyes,

"Put aside the rest of the miscellaneous matters for now; focus on what I’ve assigned you. I want to see the results soon. Those places showing anomalies must be tightly sealed off; no one is to approach. If manpower is lacking, use my command to mobilize the Ninth Mountain Army. Those who dare disobey, kill without mercy!"

"Yes!"

Gao Yu withdrew, and Chen Yuan also disappeared from the hall.

Soon after, he appeared at a separate complex halfway up Ninth Mountain, similar to the main peak but on a smaller scale, usually used to accommodate guests.

When Chen Yuan arrived at the entrance of a large hall,

He witnessed a scene that made his eyelids twitch.

Inside the hall, the Northern Sea Dragon Girl and the Dragon Breeding Clan were feasting on mountains of delicacies and drinking heavily.

One was a drunken, muddled Old Man Dong, and the other was a ravenous young girl with a voracious appetite.

Chen Yuan doubted whether his treasury could withstand if these two continued to deplete it at such a rate.

Hearing the commotion, Old Man Dong turned his flushed face around, squinting drunkenly at Chen Yuan with bleary eyes, belched, and chuckled.

The young girl, feeling slightly embarrassed, stopped her meal and stood up from the table.

A sharp light glinted in Chen Yuan’s eyes,

"Elder, it’s time to raise the dragon!"
