My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 582 - 202: Supervisor Chen Receives Orders and Rewards, Fang Qingyun Risks Himself in the Game_6
The materials of this giant snake are indeed no different from those of a spiritual beast.
Moreover, due to the erosion of evil qi, the snake tendon was constantly oozing a difficult-to-remove evil qi, which turned even the bowstring black. He simply wrapped a layer of snake skin around the bow's body, wondering if it would have any special effects.
Inside the Forge.
He had prepared a target in advance—a set of Mystic Iron Armor.
Chen Sansi took out the arrows left to him by his master. He had smeared them with the venom of the giant snake, which would turn into Poison Fog once activated. He placed an arrow on the bow, then slowly pulled the bowstring, channeling his mana.
Instantly.
The patterns hidden beneath the snake skin lit up one after another, absorbing the mana through the bowstring, all of it transferring to the special arrow until the bowstring was released, turning into a streak of black light.
"Thud—"
It effortlessly penetrated the Mystic Iron Armor!
And…
It carried evil qi with it!
The arrow also emitted Poison Fog!
Evil qi, Poison Fog, True Qi!
This arrow.
Even if it merely grazed the edge of a Martial Saint, it would result in death or grave injury!
All black.
Chen Sansi decisively named it.
Black Snake Bow!
"Not bad!"
He was quite satisfied.
This Black Snake Bow, even among mid-grade magic artifacts, was definitely top-notch. It was certainly enough for now, but if he wanted to continue upgrading it…
He would probably need to get his hands on that Golden Bow and Silver Bullet in Daze Fang City.
Steps must be taken one at a time.
Chen Sansi wasn't in a rush.
He packed up his things, intending to deal with today's military affairs.
But as soon as he reached the camp.
He saw Mr. Hou leading a group of Jinyi Guards looking for him in the Martial Arts Arena. Nearby stood Ji and many other generals.
Basically, all his brothers had gathered.
The rewards for the battle in the Northern Territory had arrived.
"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:
"Marquis Lü Ji, who led by example and reclaimed Li City Prefecture and Zhu Tuo Pass of You State, later carrying injuries, joined with the Imperial Guard and Xuanjia Army rushing to support the fight and crushing the Barbarian Army, annihilating thirty thousand enemies and capturing fifty thousand. His battle achievements are illustrious, therefore, he is specially appointed as the Grand Master of Glorious Happiness with a promotion, entrusted with the position of Liangzhou Governor, rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, and two thousand bolts of silk.
"Xu Wencai, who was stationed in You State, diligent and meritorious, has earned multiple commendations in subsequent battles, is specially appointed as a Standard Second-Rank Official.
"..."
Before the Blood Sacrifice Array ended, many people had no chance to display their martial skills.
But after the Blood Sacrifice Array, there were still over a hundred thousand soldiers of the Barbarian Army at the border.
The soldiers who participated in the suppression of these men were all more or less rewarded.
Only, the rewards were quite modest.
After all, in the end, there were no great exploits.
And.
Everyone was waiting.
Waiting for the last name to be called.
Curious to know what rewards the person who made an enormous contribution this time, forcing the barbarians all the way back to the north of Yin Mountain, would receive.
Finally.
After consecutively bestowing titles upon a dozen generals.
That name once again resounded.
"Champion Marquis Chen Sansi, upon the onset of the battle in the Northern Territory, led eight hundred scouts from Hongze Camp into the Great Desert and killed over ten thousand enemies near Huqiu Mountain, capturing Prime Minister Yuwen. Later, he led fifteen thousand men from Hongze Camp into the Great Desert for a decisive battle, killing Four Sage Kings including Yuwen Jingwen, capturing the Agate River region, then continued northward, directly reaching the Barbarian Capital, cut down five Martial Saints, killed over ten thousand enemies, executed the High Priest of the Witch God Sect, dismantling the Array Eye, relieving Liangzhou from danger, and sealed Langju Xu. Truly the bravest of the brave. For this, he is hereby granted the title of Champion Marquis! Additionally, he is specially appointed as a Standard Second-Rank General of Cavalry and entrusted with the position of Supervisor. Rewarded with two hundred thousand taels of gold, two million silver taels, and ten thousand bolts of silk."
Champion Marquis!
A twenty-one-year-old Marquis!

Not hereditary, but by means of his merits!
On the Martial Arts Arena.
Tens of thousands of soldiers heard it loud and clear.
But...
What truly shocked everyone was the last sentence.
Supervisor!
The position of Supervisor!
Not long ago, Sun Dushi had handed over the Longdan Bright Silver Spear to Chen Sansi in front of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Unexpectedly...
It had been only a few days since Sun Dushi's burial.
And the court's reward had come down,
They really chose Chen Sansi as the new Supervisor.
From now on, General Chen would be known as Chen Dushi.
"Well, have you all heard?"
In the crowd, Zhao Kang and others were discussing noisily.
"Our lord is now a Marquis, and on top of that, a Supervisor!"
"What does a Supervisor manage?"
"Nonsense, of course they manage everything!"
"Military and political affairs, basically anything they see, as long as they want to manage, they can."
"Isn't that like an emperor?"
"Right, right, right, almost the same as the Emperor."
"Old Zhu, shut your mouth! Do you want to cause trouble for our lord by talking like that in the barracks?!"
"Fine, then let's talk at my house tonight."
"Alright, make sure you prepare some good food and drinks."
"I'm not short on money these days, Old Zhu."
"..."
The brothers from Po Yang were very excited.
Lu Ji's face showed no expression.
The other senior brothers and sisters also showed joy on their faces.
They clearly had not expected that the Capital City would really agree to let Chen Sansi take up the role of Supervisor, given the weight the title carried in the Northern Territory.
However...
The eunuch Hou Bao had not yet finished speaking,
"Further!"
He paused, his voice becoming even louder, "Bestow a Marquis Mansion in the Capital City! Champion Marquis Chen Sansi is to bring his family and set out for the Capital City immediately!"
A Marquis Mansion was granted.
And they were to set out for the Capital City immediately!
"What... What does this mean?"
"He just became a Supervisor, why does he need to go to the Capital City now?"
The soldiers began to whisper to each other.
"Does it sound like he will be stationed in the Capital City from now on?"
"What about us?"
"What exactly is going on?"
"Will the frontier military still be under our lord's command?"
"Yeah."
"..."
"Chen Sansi, won't you receive the decree?"
On the ground,
Chen Sansi's face was as calm as a placid lake,
But inside, there was a surge of emotion.
He understood very clearly
What this imperial decree meant.
The so-called titles of Marquis and Supervisor were merely empty honors.
The last sentence was the true intention.
What about being granted a Marquis Mansion, moving to the Capital City?
On the surface, it seemed like he would be living outside the imperial city, basking in glory and enjoying riches and honor.
But in truth...
According to court regulations, officials serving in the Capital City could not leave without an imperial decree.
If he really moved to the Capital City, whether he could leave or not was no longer up to him.
This was a form of... disguised house arrest!
He and his brothers had fought to the death to reach the Barbarian Capital, achieving such great merit, and now the old Emperor wanted to control him?!
