Above the void, the wind is fierce.
Chen Fan held the fire unicorn in his hand and stepped into it.
After being out for five days, Chen Fan came back.
A heroic sword, a Xuanyuan sword, a dragon vein, and an ancient divine beast, the fire unicorn.
This is what Chen Fan gained when he went out.
Although I didn't kill Emperor Shitian and Xiongba, I felt quite happy after getting revenge and getting such good things this time.
"Wow, Master, what is this...?"
"This beast is so big and powerful. You are so powerful. Where did you get it from?"
"Sir, this sheep-headed wolf-hoofed creature seems to be the ancient mythical beast Qilin. Why is it dead?"
“......”
Flying into the backyard of the city lord's palace, Chen Fan revealed his identity and sent away the guards who had noticed the abnormality. After receiving the news, a group of orioles gathered around him.
When they saw the ten-foot-large fire unicorn that Chen Fan placed in the open space in the courtyard, they were all dumbfounded and surprised, and they uttered exclamations and questions one after another.
"This is the ancient mythical beast Fire Qilin from Lingyun Cave in Sichuan.
Where is Jiang Yuyan? "
Chen Fan saw that only two concubines, Yan Ying and Shui Sheng, and a group of maids were present in the backyard. He first answered their words and then asked doubtfully.
"Sir, my wife is in retreat."
Although Jiang Yuyan did not come, her maid Xiaolan came as a representative.
She was looking at Huo Qilin on the ground in surprise, fearing that Chen Fan might misunderstand something, so she quickly replied.
"Retreat?"
Chen Fan nodded slightly. As a martial arts practitioner, he could understand and said nothing more.
I just felt a little regretful in my heart. After I killed a Qilin and came back without Jiang Yuyan, I felt like something was missing.
There is a feeling of wanting to show off, wanting to share but the important people are not there.
As for Yan Ying and Shui Sheng...it's okay to have a romantic relationship with them. This kind of martial arts achievement is more interesting in front of Jiang Yuyan.
Chen Fan couldn't describe the emotion in it.
"Someone, go ask General Manager Lin."
Chen Fan, who was no longer interested, gave instructions to the maids outside.
Of course, this does not mean that Jiang Yuyan is not here to show off to Lin Pingzhi again, but that Chen Fan does not have much leisure time to dissect the fire unicorn himself, and he needs to find someone who is reliable and not weak to do it.
"Fire Qilin?"
Lin Pingzhi arrived very quickly, almost as soon as he received the notice from the maid.
He was seen holding a sword in his hand and dressed in red, looking heroic.
Just when he was about to pay his respects to Chen Fan, he didn't want to be surprised by the tall and majestic fire unicorn in the backyard.
He knew this Qilin, it was the one he and I met in Lingyun Cave.
"Is my current strength even more powerful than the ancient beasts?"
Lin Pingzhi's eyes, which were originally so high-spirited after being summoned by Chen Fan, instantly became a little gloomy. Thinking that he was not even a grand master at the peak of his strength, he suddenly felt that he was getting further and further away from him.
"Pingzhi, you came just in time, I will leave this Kirin to you. Be sure to keep its essence, blood and scales. As for the meat, leave it to the kitchen."
Chen Fan didn't know Lin Pingzhi's state of mind. When he saw Lin Pingzhi's arrival, his eyes lit up and he immediately handed over Huo Qilin's affairs.
In Chen Fan's plan, the Fire Qilin is a divine beast. Although it is not very powerful, the material is still very good. In the future, it will be the foundation of Yangzhou City when it enters the upper realm of spiritual source.
"Yes...Master!"
Even if there are thousands of words, who should I say them to?
Lin Pingzhi's gloomy eyes were even more dull at this time when he saw that he didn't have any greetings or other words to talk to him.
Is this just treating yourself as a subordinate?
"After you have collected the scales and blood essence, you can take Fire Qilin's reverse scale and go to Sword Worship Villa to re-forge the sword in your hand.
"The fire is fierce on the top of the southern mountain, and the North Sea dives into the deep snow to drink the cold." The famous fire sword in the world was inlaid with fire unicorn scales and became a magic weapon. Now that it is about to enter the upper realm of the spiritual source, you should too Improve the weapons in your hands. "
Chen Fan asked with concern to Lin Pingzhi who had not yet retreated after receiving the order.
His idea is very simple, just a scale can win people's hearts and increase the strength of Yangzhou City, why not do it.
"Yes, Master!"
Hearing Chen Fan's words, Lin Pingzhi's originally gloomy eyes suddenly became brighter.
I still care about myself.
....
The bright moon is turning in the sky, and the night wind is slightly cool.
Chen Fan, who had not been back for several months, spent a very pleasant night with the help of his concubines Yan Ying and Shui Sheng.
The moon sets and the sun rises, and the golden crow hangs high.
Chen Fan, who had climbed mountains and ridges over and over again, held his first meeting after returning feeling refreshed and refreshed the next day.
In the main hall of the city lord's palace, there are many people, solemn and solemn.
Chen Fan was sitting at the top of the hall, listening to his subordinates below reporting on what had happened recently and what needed to be resolved at the moment.
Chen Fan was surprised to see Duan Lang's figure among the generals. Judging from his clothes and the position he was standing in, it was obvious that he had a high position in the Zhenwu Division.
It's also to blame that Chen Fan was too eager to enjoy the wonderful night life last night and didn't get the news, otherwise he wouldn't have known about Duanlang.
"Commander Duan Lang of the Zhenwu Division has met the city lord. The Zhenwu Division has been here for more than a month..."
Perhaps sensing the look in Chen Fan's eyes, Duan Lang quickly reported the matter to Chen Fan as the commander of the Zhenwu Division.
When reporting, Duan Lang felt very uneasy, because he knew that in the final analysis, his role as the commander of the Zhenwu Division was only decided by his wife Jiang Yuyan. If he wanted to truly stand firm, he would have to get the help of City Lord Chen Fan. recognition.
At the same time, when Duan Lang was giving his report, the eyes of other people in the hall couldn't help but wander between Chen Fan and Duan Lang.
They had the same idea as Duan Lang, and also wanted to know whether the city lord recognized the commander of the Zhenwu Division who was appointed by his wife alone.
You must know that this position is not a dispensable existence. It is a high-level position with great power and is one of the best in the entire city lord's palace system.
If everyone didn't think much of the Madam's placement of a few confidants before, then now, they have to take a serious look at the City Lord's attitude towards this.
Should we continue to let it go or...stop it.
Are you on the side of the first lady or the third lady?
"Dong dong dong..."
In the main hall, Chen Fan sat on a chair and leaned back slightly. His eyes looked at Duan Lang who was standing in the main hall reporting affairs with interest, and his fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the desk in front of him.
He said how could there be a dragon and two phoenixes serving last night? After a long time, he still relied on Jiang Yuyan's blessing.
When Chen Fan learned that Duan Lang was the commander of the Zhenwu Division, he immediately understood what happened last night.
In the past, when the Zhenwu Division did not have a commander, the western governor of the Zhenwu Division was the boss and was controlled by Shui Sheng's father and uncles. Now that Jiang Yuyan has intervened, Shui Sheng feels that his rights have been violated and is aware of the crisis. , just came to please.
But, am I a person who can be pleased?
Obviously not.
The beauty of the pillow is not enough to make Chen Fan give up the opportunity to decentralize power and suppress the military division.
There is no reason why a major power organization other than the civil and military forces in Yangzhou City is all from the same lineage.
Jiang Yuyan intervened just in time.
Of course, even if Jiang Yuyan didn't interfere, Chen Fan would adjust one day.
Whether it is the court or the Jianghu forces, it is best to have a balanced and intertwined relationship under your command.
Chen Fan also understood Jiang Yuyan's purpose of installing Duan Lang. One was that Duan Lang was indeed a talent, and the other was of course that he wanted to arrange people in the Zhenwu Division to have a certain say.
After all, before Duan Lang took up the post of commander, the western governors of the Zhenwu Division were basically people of Madam Shui's lineage.
How could a mistress be less influential than a concubine? Of course these Jiang Yuyan would have to fight for it.
"Well, that's right. Madam is right. Duanlang, you are both strong and capable enough to be the commander of the Zhenwu Division. The Zhenwu Division will be left to you to lead from now on. You have to do a good job... "
After Duan Lang's report, Chen Fan spoke.
There was no wavering, no hiding, the first statement.
Not only was it support for Jiang Yuyan, but it was also because Duan Lang was indeed a talent.
In just a few dozen seconds of reporting, Duan Lang not only showed his in-depth understanding of the Zhenwu Division, but also was familiar with the orderly affairs of the Zhenwu Division and had a serious and rigorous plan for the future path of the Zhenwu Division.
He discovered that Duanlang was not a pure martial artist, but had certain administrative abilities.
Looking at the entire city lord's palace, Duanlang, the commander of the Zhenwu Division, is beyond reproach in terms of both his martial arts skills and his talents.
Yangzhou City needs such talents.
As for killing his father, well, who knows?
"Yes, City Lord, Lang will definitely live up to the expectations of the City Lord and his wife, and will devote himself to the city Lord and Yangzhou City until his death."
Duan Lang was very happy to receive Chen Fan's recognition and bowed down in excitement. He had truly established a foothold in Yangzhou City and was no longer a dispensable handyman in the world in the past.
After Chen Fan had no objections to Duan Lang, everyone else in the hall also understood the city lord's attitude.
Side with the eldest lady, it depends on strength and ability.
If it suits you, stay, it's that simple.
In the main hall, the only ones who were a little unhappy at this time were Shui Sheng's father Shui Dai and his two other brothers.
As for Hua Tiegan...heh...he has long been a member of Jiang Yuyan's family.
"If there's anything else, just retreat."
After recognizing Duan Lang as the commander of the Zhenwu Division, Chen Fan felt a moment of silence, thinking that everyone had nothing to report, so he said to everyone.
"City Lord, I have something important to report."
Meng Jiang, the former magistrate of Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty and now the administrative director of the City Lord's Palace, walked forward with his head high and saluted in the eyes of all the ministers.
"explain!"
"Today, the west sea returns to the heart, all the auspiciousness comes out, and the destiny of heaven belongs to the Lord. It is advisable to take over the throne as soon as possible. I sincerely ask the city lord to become the king and establish the system!"
