Tao Qingyuan smiled somewhat helplessly:

"You're making things difficult for me."

The patrolling envoys of each prefecture are not fixed, and part of the Qing Envoy's power comes from the strength of the patrolling envoys under his command. For example, Nanling Prefecture has a total of five patrolling envoys, which can only be considered average in Qingzhou.

Some Qing Envoys have nearly ten patrolling envoys under their command, so the tasks they perform are naturally more, and their power and reputation are greater.

Every Qing Envoy hopes to have more patrolling envoys under their command.

He believed Zhang Xuan's words. With his means and ability, it would be easy to transfer a patrolling guard.

"Your subordinate is not threatening you, but also hopes that the number of patrolling envoys under your command can recover as soon as possible," Zhang Xuan said softly.

Tao Qingyuan was slightly stunned, and frowned slightly:

"What do you mean by that?"

"To be honest, your subordinate may break through to the Tongxuan Realm soon and will leave Nanling Prefecture for a period of time. I don't know when I will return. Therefore, isn't it just right for Chen Yuan to take my place?"

"You're about to break through?"

A hint of joy flashed across Tao Qingyuan's face.

"Yes."

"Good, Zhang Xuan, you truly deserve to be among the top 100 on the Hidden Dragon List. If you can break through to the Tongxuan Realm at the age of twenty-six, you will probably rise to the top 50!"

Tao Qingyuan clapped his hands and smiled.

Chen Yuan was puzzled, Hidden Dragon List?

What is that?

"You flatter me, sir. Chen Yuan's potential is no lower than mine. So far, he is only in his early twenties..."

Zhang Xuan smiled.

Tao Qingyuan sized up Chen Yuan, and after a long silence, he said:

"Since Patrol Envoy Zhang guarantees for you, and you have also made this contribution... I can promote you to be a patrolling envoy first, but afterwards, you must also complete several tasks.

Only in this way will it not violate the rules."

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Yuan quickly cupped his hands and thanked him.

Becoming a patrolling envoy first and then completing tasks is very different from completing tasks first and then becoming a patrolling envoy.

Without becoming a patrolling envoy, the power that can be borrowed is not great, and how much merit is needed to become a patrolling envoy is not up to Tao Qingyuan to decide?

If there are any other obstacles, Chen Yuan may need a not short period of time.

But if you become a patrolling envoy first, and then complete the task, not only will there be patrolling guards to help, but the power you have is also very great, and completing the task will be twice the result with half the effort.

These were all things that Zhang Xuan had warned him on the way here.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Although Patrol Envoy Zhang guarantees for you, whether you can be competent for this position still needs to be determined by merit. However, I believe you can do it."

Tao Qingyuan's expression straightened, and then he slowly revealed a smile.

If Zhang Xuan was not about to break through and leave, and Chen Yuan's potential did not seem to be low, he would not have agreed to directly promote a patrolling guard who had just entered the patrolling division for a few days to become a patrolling envoy.

Tao Qingyuan also had to mediate and say good things to his superiors.

Chen Yuan smiled and said:

"You flatter me, sir. Your subordinate will definitely go through fire and water for you in the future."

"Tomorrow, I will introduce you to the other patrolling envoys."

With this sentence, Chen Yuan will appear with a new identity from now on.

Patrolling Envoy!

With the power to execute first and report later, he is also a figure in this Nanling Prefecture City.

"Thank you, sir."

"You should thank Patrol Envoy Zhang more," Tao Qingyuan laughed.

Afterwards, Tao Qingyuan warned Chen Yuan about some things, chatted for a while, and Zhang Xuan and Chen Yuan said goodbye and left Tao Qingyuan's place.

......

......

Inside Zhang Xuan's public office yamen.

"Thank you very much, sir."

Chen Yuan said with a very solemn expression.

"There is no need to call me 'sir' anymore. Now you and I are at the same level."

"You're joking, sir."

"I recommended you to Qing Envoy also because I value your potential. There is no need to be so polite," Zhang Xuan waved his hand, not minding.

"I wonder what the Hidden Dragon List that Tao Qingyuan mentioned earlier is. I hope you can explain it to me," Chen Yuan looked at Zhang Xuan, still calling him 'sir' in his words.

Not to mention that Zhang Xuan helped him a lot this time, just the fact that he will step into the Tongxuan Realm in a short time is also worthy of Chen Yuan's respect.

With Zhang Xuan's background and strength, it would be easy for him to be the Qing Envoy of a prefecture in the future. Maybe he will be Chen Yuan's superior at that time, and he will have to change his words again, which is troublesome...

Zhang Xuan didn't say much and let Chen Yuan call him that.

"Hidden Dragon List..." Zhang Xuan was stunned, and then smiled again.

It was normal for Chen Yuan, who had just come out of Pingan County, a small county area, for a few days, not to know what the Hidden Dragon List was, and then explained:

"The Hidden Dragon List, also known as the Human List, is a list divided by the strong men in the Martial Emperor City of the East Sea to delineate the geniuses of the Central Plains. It is called the Ascending Immortal List together with the Heaven List and the Earth List."

"Martial Emperor City of the East Sea."

"Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Lists."

"Ascending Immortal List..."

Chen Yuan was silent, sighing that he was really idle and had nothing to do, and actually listed such a list.

"The Hidden Dragon List includes 365 geniuses in the Central Plains, and judges potential based on strength, age, and talent. The top ten are called Hidden Dragons..."

In Zhang Xuan's narration, Chen Yuan had a preliminary understanding of this Hidden Dragon List.

The Human List only includes warriors below the Dan Realm, and the age cannot exceed thirty years old, otherwise they will be removed from the list, and another warrior will be added to the list.

Since ancient times, anyone who can be on the list can be regarded as extraordinary.

"The list collects heroes from all over the world. Will the warriors in the Jianghu arbitrarily allow people to rank them?" Chen Yuan was a little strange. Are the people in the Jianghu so good-tempered?

Let people judge them at will without being annoyed.

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly:

"When the three lists first came out, they did cause a shock in the Jianghu. It is said that hundreds of years ago, several peerless experts joined forces to go to the Martial Emperor City, intending to abolish this list.

On that day, a great battle was fought that turned the world upside down and rivers and seas were reversed. In the end, the several peerless figures were defeated, and since then, this list has gradually spread."

"Later generations all regard being on the Three Lists as an honor."

"I see..." Chen Yuan suddenly understood.

He said, how could the Jianghu warriors have such good tempers? It turned out that they had not defeated the people, suffered a lot, and finally had to pinch their noses and accept this matter.

"But the world is so big, how can the people in the Martial Emperor City know so clearly?"

Chen Yuan knew that the so-called Central Plains referred to the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty.

And the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty almost perfectly inherited the previous dynasty, and was divided into thirteen states, which was more than tens of thousands of miles away?

Qingzhou is just one of the thirteen states.

"The Martial Emperor City has an extremely powerful intelligence organization in the world, called the Ascending Immortal Tower, which is spread all over the world, selling intelligence, and also lists geniuses everywhere.

It's a pity that it can't be used by the imperial court, otherwise, the imperial court's control over the world would definitely be extraordinary."

Zhang Xuan sighed, a little regretful.

Now the court's prestige is declining, and everyone who is loyal to the court feels pain in their hearts.

"You said earlier that you were in the top 100, sir..."

Zhang Xuan shook his head:

"Being in the top 100 is nothing. Unless you can enter the top 50, you can become famous all over the world. However, all of the top 50 are Tongxuan experts. Since the establishment of the list, those who can enter the top 50 in the Ninggang Realm have all had great achievements later."

Zhang Xuan ranked eighty-first, which was a so-so ranking. Among the warriors in the Ninggang Realm of the entire imperial court, there were not many who ranked higher than him.

"With your strength, sir, entering the top 50 in the future is just a matter of time..."

"There is no need to praise me like that. I actually have a good idea of how much I can rank. It's you. If you can enter the top 100 in the Ninggang Realm,

The support from above will be even greater."

"Although the Hidden Dragon List cannot completely predict a person's potential, it is also seventy or eighty percent accurate. The higher you are on this list, the more support you will get."

"People with no background will all be on the list to gain attention."

"Not to mention the imperial court, even some Jianghu sects will use this list to increase the cultivation of their disciples. Therefore, the competition for the Potential List is extremely fierce."

"At every moment, there are all kinds of people challenging, trying to make a name for themselves..."

Zhang Xuan told many things, and Chen Yuan, like a sponge, tirelessly absorbed the secrets he said. In terms of knowledge, he is now inferior to Zhang Xuan.

However, what he said also made sense.

Without any background, if you want to climb up in the imperial court, you need to show your potential. Only then will high-ranking officials bet on him.

For example, the reason why Zhang Xuan favored Chen Yuan so much and did not hesitate to embarrass Tao Qingyuan in order to win the position of Patrol Envoy for him was partly because he valued Chen Yuan's potential.

And the reason why Tao Qingyuan agreed was, in addition to Zhang Xuan's reason, he also saw Chen Yuan's talent.

The stronger his talent is, the more he will have a say. Tao Qingyuan may also go all-in and continue to bet on protecting him.

People like him who have almost no hope of continuing in martial arts need someone who can help him if he wants to survive in the officialdom. Investing in geniuses with great potential is

very good.

Zhao Nanshan is also the same.

This is all because Chen Yuan showed his potential.

Zhang Xuan continued: "With your age, if your strength is good, it is not difficult to be on the Hidden Dragon List. The difficulty is whether you can rise to the top 100 of the Hidden Dragon List before the Tongxuan Realm."

"According to the judgment of the Hidden Dragon List, almost all of the top 100 can step into the Tongxuan Realm."

"And 30% of the top 50 can be promoted to the Dan Realm..."

"Thank you for your explanation, sir." Chen Yuan cupped his hands.

"You can know these things as long as you have the mind. Now there are people from the Ascending Immortal Tower in Nanling Prefecture City. If you want to buy some intelligence, you can go to..."

Afterwards, Zhang Xuan said a very ordinary place name.

"Okay."

Chen Yuan really wanted to see these people from the Ascending Immortal Tower.
