"Someone with strong competence?"

Cao Zhengxian's eyes flickered, and he immediately understood that the emperor already had someone in mind, and the previous words were just a preamble. He then chimed in:

"Your Majesty is right. I just don't know who Your Majesty has in mind?"

Jingtai narrowed his eyes slightly, tapping his fingers on the armrest. After a long while, he finally spoke:

"Has Chen Yuan returned to the capital?"

A hint of 'as expected' flashed in Cao Zhengxian's eyes. This person had long caught the emperor's attention, and he would pay attention from time to time. Now is the time to give him an important role.

He then bowed and said:

"He returned to the capital yesterday."

"What does Minister Cao think of Chen Yuan's ability to handle affairs?"

Jingtai asked.

"Chen Yuan's ability is indeed good, but he is too reckless in his actions and has a vicious mind. If he is sent to investigate this matter, this old minister thinks it is acceptable."

"Hmm?"

"But the remnants of the former Chu are no small matter. With Chen Yuan's cultivation and strength, I'm afraid he is still not up to the task?"

Cao Zhengxian carefully expressed his opinion, both affirming Chen Yuan's ability and doubting his strength, which was neither an agreement nor an opposition.

After all, he could not directly refute the person selected by the emperor.

"It's just an investigation. I don't expect Chen Yuan to be able to kill all these remnants of the former Chu. The one who truly has this strength in the north is the King of Northern Liang!"

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Previously, the Jin envoy of Liang Province reported that he was being held in check by the King of Northern Liang. I sent another Jin envoy to assist him, but these two guys not only failed to work together to cope with the pressure, but also engaged in internal strife for power and profit. I plan to let Chen Yuan take over as the Jin envoy of Liang Province, and also investigate the whereabouts of these remnants of the former Chu.

What does Minister Cao think?"

Jingtai said in a deep voice.

Cao Zhengxian's eyes narrowed, and he quickly said:

"Your Majesty, the Jin envoy of a province holds a high position and bears great responsibility. Chen Yuan is only at the Solid Core cultivation level, and his qualifications are also insufficient. If he is sent out to be a Jin envoy,

I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to shoulder this great responsibility. Moreover, the warriors of the Sky Patrol Division will also be dissatisfied. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengxian said quickly.

He didn't expect Chen Yuan to be sent out to become a Jin envoy so quickly.

"Cultivation? Does Minister Cao not know that Chen Yuan killed Tang Xianzhuo, the master of the Tang Sect, head-on in Shu Province? With his strength, even if he is at the Solid Core cultivation level, he is definitely not inferior to a Celestial Core Grandmaster. As for qualifications, that is even more absurd. Those guys in the Sky Patrol Division have enough qualifications, but how many of them have made great contributions to the imperial court?

Chen Yuan shattered the illusory realm of Mount Sumeru in the Eastern Ying and saved the face of the imperial court. This one thing alone surpasses the qualifications of countless people."

Jingtai snorted lightly, somewhat dissatisfied with some of the Core Realm grandmasters in the Sky Patrol Division.

In his eyes, these are all useless people who cannot compare to Chen Yuan at all.

Cao Zhengxian's tone stagnated, and he lowered his head in embarrassment. The emperor had already said this much, so what else could he say? Could he directly confront the emperor for Chen Yuan's sake?

The loss outweighs the gain....

"Your Majesty is right."

He nodded after pondering for a moment.

Jingtai stared at Cao Zhengxian, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. He slowly said:

"Chen Yuan's talent is extraordinary. He has the potential to become a True Lord. I want to cultivate him. If he breaks through to the Yang God realm in the future, he will surely become a pillar of my dynasty."

"But Chen Yuan is young and has a vicious mind. If he really becomes a True Lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Your Majesty to control him." Cao Zhengxian then added.

When facing Chen Yuan, he was always trying to undermine him.

His adopted son, Yang Yuanqing, had only just recovered from his injuries. The two sides had already formed an irreconcilable feud. Moreover, after Gu Tianqiong came out of seclusion, he repeatedly targeted the Imperial Surveillance Division and spoke disrespectfully to him, showing great contempt.

Naturally, he didn't dare to vent these grievances on Gu Tianqiong, so he could only target Chen Yuan.

After all, Chen Yuan is currently the most outstanding genius in the Sky Patrol Division. It is said that he is highly appreciated by Gu Tianqiong, which can also be considered as forming a feud with him.

The corners of Jingtai's mouth curled up slightly, and he said lightly:

"Just a mere Chen Yuan, can't I control him? He is indeed sharp and capable, a good knife, and I... am the wielder of the knife!"

He exuded an aura of controlling everything, as if he didn't take Chen Yuan seriously at all.

"Your Majesty..."

"Alright, send someone to invite the Grand Commander. I want to discuss this matter with him."

Jingtai raised his hand, stopping Cao Zhengxian from continuing to speak.

"This old minister obeys."

After Cao Zhengxian left the imperial study, a flash of light appeared in Jingtai's hand, and a blood-colored porcelain bottle appeared. He gently opened it, and a pungent smell of blood emanated from it.

Jingtai pinched out a thumb-sized red pill, felt the surging power within, and slowly swallowed it in one gulp, revealing a somewhat intoxicated expression.

And quickly refining this red spiritual pill.

......

......

Wuwu Earl's Mansion, the Fourth Prince Sima Ke had left with his men for a long time. Only Chen Yuan was left in the hall. He narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering the ins and outs of this matter.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why Sima Ke had such a big change.

Not only did he feel that his mother, Consort Yang, had some connection with him, but he even wanted him to get involved with Princess Pingyang again. Mother and daughter?

If there was nothing wrong with his head, being able to tolerate this kind of thing was definitely not an ordinary person.

This tolerance was the first time he had seen in his life. Even Ouyang Zhi was much worse than him, because the other party was persuaded by Madam Xu, while he understood it on his own.

Thinking of Consort Yang's curvaceous and graceful figure and the Princess's cold temperament, Chen Yuan fell into deep thought....

Now that he was back in the capital, he had basically done what he needed to do, Chen Yuan maintained a calm cultivation life. Nothing changed for several days.

He was mainly focused on cultivation. Now that he had broken through to the Celestial Core Realm, the next step was to accumulate his cultivation to the peak of the Celestial Core realm during this period of time.

At that time, his strength will increase once again.

However, the time required would probably not be short, because Chen Yuan currently had no clue about the next Son of Destiny. He could only hope that he would unite with him as soon as possible.

Jingtai had a very terrifying destiny on him, but it was clear that his current strength was not enough to collect this destiny.

He predicted that it might take several months before he could find a way to take office in Shu Province and welcome his Son of Destiny, but this time was a bit too long.

During these few days, many people came to visit and invite Chen Yuan. The two princes, Sima Qian and Sima You, were musts. In addition, there were also some strong men from the Sky Patrol Division, such as the other city commander had invited Chen Yuan.

This time Chen Yuan did not refuse, but met them one by one.

In addition, there was another person who met Chen Yuan, Princess Pingyang. She also met Chen Yuan at this opportunity and learned about his breakthrough.

But when facing her, Chen Yuan always felt a little awkward. He couldn't help but think of Sima Ke and Consort Yang.

Princess Pingyang knew nothing about these things and still interacted with Chen Yuan with an equal attitude. In Chen Yuan's opinion, this Princess Pingyang was far superior to the Fourth Prince Sima Ke.

Even Sima Qian and Sima You were inferior to her.

She knows everything about astronomy and geography.

It was a pity that she was a daughter, otherwise the Sima family would definitely have another wise ruler. Of course, this was a good thing for him. He even hoped that the Sima family would be of mixed quality, full of twisted melons and cracked dates.

On this day, Chen Yuan, who had rested for several days, finally freed up some time and decided to find out about the former Crown Prince of Chu, that is, some things about his father.

Naturally, he couldn't be too obvious when he first arrived in the capital. He would be noticed, so he suppressed the impulse in his heart.

Now that a few days had passed, he estimated that people outside would not pay too much attention to him. The person Chen Yuan was looking for was Guo Peng, an official of the Ministry of War, to help him with this 'small favor'.

He casually made an excuse, and Guo Peng didn't think too much about it. He directly took Chen Yuan to the Wenyuan Pavilion. With him by his side, those literary officials would not stop him. Sultan Novels Network

He pretended to look for many ancient records. These things were sealed very tightly. It wasn't until Guo Peng couldn't bear it anymore and left that Chen Yuan opened the description of the last emperor of the former Chu more than two hundred years ago.

Most of the descriptions inside were about how tyrannical the former Chu was, causing the people to live in poverty. It would be unforgivable not to destroy it. Chen Yuan didn't believe in these history books that could be easily changed. He directly found the place that interested him.

Above, the name of the former Crown Prince of Chu was clearly recorded.

'Xiang Qianqiu!!!'

According to his uncle Wu Daozi, this person should be his father. In order to not forget, he immediately wrote it down on paper and kept it safe.

The historical records also had a very bad reputation for Xiang Qianqiu, saying that he had no ambition and took pleasure in teasing the people. But after the fall of the former Chu, he found an opportunity to escape from the imperial capital.

The remaining things were of no help to Chen Yuan. He casually looked at it and left the place. As soon as he left the Wenyuan Pavilion, he suddenly found that he could not remember the name just now. His heart sank.

It should be known that even his uncle's heavenly concealment was gradual, but the name of the former Crown Prince of Chu was forgotten in just a short period of time.

This made him realize that this cheap old man was probably really extraordinary.

Returning to the Wuwei Earl's Mansion, Chen Yuan took out the things he had recorded before and carefully pondered the name and what exactly happened back then.

He didn't move for a long time.

In an instant, the Emperor Slaughtering Saber behind Chen Yuan trembled slightly, and Moro's white figure slowly emerged. He smiled faintly at Chen Yuan and said, "Fellow Daoist."

Chen Yuan put away the things in his hand, looked up at Moro, and asked:

"Why did Senior suddenly show up?"

"This monk is going to say goodbye. Within three days, this monk will leave the imperial capital and go to the northern border."

"When will we meet again?"

Chen Yuan didn't have too many feelings. After all, Moro had revealed this when he was in the Sunken Blood Lake before. He had already prepared for it.

Moreover, he had the Chen Family Battle Flag now, so he could be considered to have some self-protection power. Even if Moro left, he would not be in any danger.

"It will be three months at the earliest, and one year at the latest, and this monk will return." Moro nodded.

"Then this junior wishes senior a safe journey."

Chen Yuan said with a solemn expression.

He didn't ask what Moro's purpose was for this trip. He guessed that it was related to recovering his injuries. He just didn't know what healing treasures the Northern Barbarians had that could actually restore the Primordial Spirit of a Sixth Realm Immortal.

"Good!"

A smile appeared on Moro's face.

"There is no need to worry about this monk's departure, nor is there any need to reveal it to the other Dao Masters. All of you only need to recover your injuries step by step. I hope that when we meet again, you have already broken through to the Transformation Yang Realm."

"I will!"

Chen Yuan said with great confidence.

He wasn't sure about three months, but if it was a year, he would have a lot of confidence. Perhaps he wouldn't even need a year if he met a few Sons of Destiny in succession.

"Hmm..."

Moro wanted to say something more, but suddenly his gaze moved, he glanced outside, turned into a stream of light and plunged into the Emperor Slaughtering Saber, and left a sentence:

"Someone is coming."

Chen Yuan nodded, and recovered his calm expression. After a moment, a person rushed in from outside. It was the chief steward of the mansion.

"What happened?"

"Master, just now an adult from the Sky Patrol Division came to send a message, saying that the Grand Commander summoned you and asked you to go to the Sky Patrol Division immediately without delay."

The old steward said breathlessly.

"Gu Tianqiong urgently summoned me?"

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered. This was a bit beyond his expectations. Could it be that Zhang Yantong had already found a state capital for him to serve as a Gold Envoy?

This thought flashed through his mind. Chen Yuan felt that the possibility was too low. The greater possibility was that something had happened in the capital that required him, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious. He then nodded and said:

"I know. You can go down now."

"This old servant takes his leave."

The steward lowered his head and retreated.

Faced with Gu Tianqiong's summons, Chen Yuan did not deliberately delay. Although he was a little curious, he still quickly changed into a black cloud uniform and arrived at the Sky Patrol Division.

Now Chen Yuan no longer needed an identity token to enter the Sky Patrol Division. Simply showing his face was enough.

After the previous series of events, there were few people in the Sky Patrol Division of the imperial capital who did not know Chen Yuan. Even if one person didn't know him, the people around him would remind him.

No one would be so blind as to step forward and cause trouble.

Going straight ahead, Chen Yuan had a smooth passage through the Sky Patrol Division, and arrived at the Sky Patrol Hall in a very short time. After reporting, he directly entered the Sky Patrol Hall.

As soon as he entered, Chen Yuan felt a huge pressure coming towards him. His eyes narrowed, and the surprise in his heart was even greater, because there were five people sitting in the hall.

In addition to the Grand Commander Gu Tianqiong, the four great Divine Envoys of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang were also on the left and right.

This was the first time Chen Yuan had seen such a complete group. The curiosity in his heart was even greater, and there was even a vague feeling of unease. He felt that it was a bit dangerous.

After all, the gathering of the top leaders of the Sky Patrol Division was not a trivial matter.

He calculated whether he had revealed any flaws before, but on the surface he remained calm and cupped his fists to the five people in front of him and bowed:

"This subordinate Chen Yuan has seen the Grand Commander and the four Divine Envoys!"

Gu Tianqiong's sharp gaze swept over Chen Yuan and he nodded slightly:

"Yantong is right. Your experience has not been in vain. You have indeed taken another step forward and reached the Celestial Core Realm."

"This subordinate would naturally not deceive the Grand Commander in such matters." Zhang Yantong immediately chimed in.

Yesterday, he was summoned by Gu Tianqiong and came to see him. He revealed all of Chen Yuan's affairs, naturally including Chen Yuan's breakthrough in cultivation.

He remembered that the Grand Commander was a little surprised at the time.

"Good, good. It's good to break through to the Celestial Core Realm at such a young age. The Sky Patrol Division has successors." The Huang Divine Envoy Wu Tianxi stroked his beard and smiled, becoming more and more satisfied with Chen Yuan the more he looked at him.

"Indeed good. Stronger than Jiang He." The Earth Divine Envoy Zuo Tiancheng commented.

"Now that Chen Yuan has broken through to the Celestial Core Realm, the matter that the Grand Commander said before is even more reasonable." The taciturn Heaven Divine Envoy Xiao Jing said.

"That's right. Chen Yuan has made great contributions, so qualifications don't matter. Now his cultivation has also caught up, so the people below can't find any fault."

Wu Tianxi echoed.

Listening to the words of several people, Chen Yuan's head was full of fog, but he vaguely predicted that it was... the matter of being sent out. It seemed a little too fast.

Just as Chen Yuan was guessing, Gu Tianqiong spoke again:

"You have been summoned today. Do you know why?"

"This subordinate does not know."

"It's right that you don't know. The Sky Patrol Division in Liang Province has been a little unstable recently. After thinking about it, this Commander is going to give you some extra responsibilities. Are you willing?"

Gu Tianqiong stared at Chen Yuan. It seemed that he was asking for his opinion, but his body exuded an unquestionable aura.

This was a notice!

"What is the Grand Commander referring to?"

"The Gold Envoy of Liang Province!"

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, a little surprised.

This matter was beyond his expectations, because he had originally planned to stay safe for a few months and then take the opportunity to kill the Gold Envoy of Shu Province to make way for himself.

Why did he suddenly run to Liang Province...

"You are still somewhat capable of doing things. This Commander has already inquired about the opinions of the other Divine Envoys, and none of them objected. Now let's see what your own wishes are.

Although the position of the Gold Envoy of a province is good, it also carries a great burden. The previous two Gold Envoys did not do well, causing the prestige of the Sky Patrol Division to be completely destroyed. Do you think you can do it well?"

Gu Tianqiong said.

"This subordinate will do his best."

Gu Tianqiong's attitude was already very clear. Chen Yuan could not refuse. If he really refused, even if he had the opportunity in the future, he would not let him take office in Shu Province.

He was very clear about this, so after thinking for a moment, he agreed.

No matter what, it was a good thing to leave the capital. At worst, he would find an opportunity to transfer to another state capital in the future.

"This Commander believes in you. Don't let us down." Gu Tianqiong said in a deep voice.

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

In a few words, Chen Yuan's position as the Gold Envoy of Liang Province was settled. Although it was a bit unexpected, he could only accept it.

"You guys go down first. This Commander still has something to tell Chen Yuan." Gu Tianqiong turned his gaze to the four Divine Envoys on both sides and said softly.

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

The four Divine Envoys stood up at the same time, cupped their fists in salute, and then slowly retreated. Wu Tianxi walked to Chen Yuan's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a faint smile, "Make some achievements in Liang Province so that you can be promoted better in the future."

"Thank you for the reminder, sir."

Zhang Yantong gave Chen Yuan a reassuring look, and then left directly.
