Chapter 422: Chapter 369: Who Are Those People? (Request for monthly ticket)_2

"The General once said to me, to consider more for the brotherhood of The Overseers; if someone gives us a hard time, then let’s not let anyone have it easy, and not be burdened by reputation."

"Therefore, from now on, let’s all stick together; I will also need to rely on the support of both of you."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he clasped his hands in a bow.

Seeing this, Wei Zhong and Wu Sheng became serious and returned the gesture in kind.

When the Demon Suppression General speaks like this, it seems that he has high hopes for the Nine Colonels. From now on, Chen Yuan will be able to mobilize government soldiers; the numerous things he can do are countless, and it no longer matters whether he has that vain name or not!

"Hmph, I reckon those who are disloyal and forget their old bonds must have come to their senses after today’s battle!"

Coldness sparked in Wei Zhong’s eyes as he snorted angrily.

"Is Colonel Wei talking about those colleagues?" Wu Sheng carried on the conversation thoughtfully.

"Who else could it be? Some people seem to recognize their mothers before even being fed milk." Wei Zhong said these words with considerable annoyance.

During the day, several Prefecture Colonels came forward, following Gongyang Jianshan to capture him; their eager behavior was nauseating.

Even the men he had personally promoted had betrayed him, infuriating and chilling.

These jesting fools had disappeared early after the event had concluded.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan remembered what he had encountered on the road, his gaze becoming profound,

"Colonel Wei mentioned these few people; I will pay attention to them in time."

Having said this, Chen Yuan changed the subject, glancing sideways, "But the most pressing matter right now is for both of you to improve your own strengths and make an early breakthrough with Tao Fruit; I will lend a helping hand!"

"Additionally, train more troops, prepare actively for battle, I have also analyzed the current situation with both of you; it’s good to be prepared without any harm."

"Excellent!"

...

Half an hour later, in Tianxiong Pass South City, seven or eight miles away from the original site of Heavenly Fragrance Building, there is a Zao Mountain, not tall, only over two hundred meters.

This mountain was monopolized, typically for growing tea gardens and medicinal herbs within, a private territory, no trespassing.

In the mountain, there is a manor so secluded that hardly anyone ever sets foot here.

In the night, the brilliant white snow on the mountain illuminated the shadow of a courtyard, with white walls and black tiles, splashed along the mountain walls, making the whole courtyard look silent, without a glimmer of candlelight, as if it was empty. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Suddenly,

"Woof"

A dog’s bark exploded in the courtyard.

Immediately afterward, a shadow shot out like lightning, dashing with electrifying speed, turning into a residual image, rushing from the back of the yard toward the front.

And in the front yard, right at the gate on the white snow-covered ground, a figure silently and invisibly formed!

The shadow that rushed out was heading exactly to the snow-covered ground where this person’s figure appeared!

As the dog’s bark suddenly rose in the quiet courtyard, it was like throwing a large stone into a calm lake, instantly shattering the tranquility here.

In an instant,

"Swoosh"

"Swoosh"

"Swoosh"

Sounds of objects cutting through the air rose.

Sharp beams of light abruptly appeared in the cold night, shooting towards the direction where the figure was converging, intent on turning this uninvited guest into a hornet’s nest.

At the same time, shadows with low shouts, from rooms all around, rooftops, or from within the snow, jumped out, surging towards the newcomer.

Just as a dozen cold beams drew within a foot of the figure, they suddenly stopped, as if there was an invisible wall of air, fixed in place.

And under the twinkling cold light, a tall and slender figure was outlined!

Dressed in Silver Armor, with a black cloud-patterned cloak!

"Halt!"

Exclamations arose.

"The Ninth..."

Some rushing figures recognized the newcomer at a glance, hastily halting their advance, their tones filled with stunned stammering.

And beneath the flickering Spirit Light, those who had pounced forward, with blue eyes and yellow curly hair, were people from the Western Regions.

Just at this moment,

"Hehe, welcome, Master!"

A slightly sycophantic voice sounded.

The first shadow that had dashed towards Chen Yuan revealed itself at close range as a large black dog.

With head held high, a grin on his face, eyes squinting, and even shaking his tail.

"Clatter, clatter"

The weapons immobilizing Chen Yuan fell to the ground as his gaze settled on the black dog, his face showing a hint of appreciation as he spoke.

"You have made a merit this time, this is your reward."

Chen Yuan cast a beam of green light that entered the Heavenly Dog’s forehead.

The dog’s body stiffened for a moment, and the next second, its eyes widened and its tail wagged as if it was about to take flight.

"Dragon... My lord Silver, hahaha, from now on, this dog will follow you up the Sword Mountain and down into the sea of flames..."

With the reward received, even the dog’s voice changed, seeming quite content.

Chen Yuan felt goosebumps wash over him; this Heavenly Dog was truly something else.

However, since the Heavenly Dog had indeed made quite a contribution this time, he let it be.

Meanwhile, the five or six people from the Western Regions who had fallen into the snow and were standing around were somewhat at a loss with widened eyes.

How could this ferocious god, who had stirred Tianxiong Pass into chaos during the day, appear here?

They thought an enemy had come knocking and had taken action, but now they couldn’t help feeling a chill running down their spines—were they not overstepping by disturbing the sleeping dragon?

Just as their shock had prevented them from noticing some details about the day’s events, a reserved female voice timely chimed in.

"Prince Consort!"

As she spoke, the lamps in the courtyard’s front hall were lit one by one.

A woman with a golden nose ring and dressed in a gold gauze garment walked out and shyly called out to Chen Yuan.

She said,

"The Princess is waiting for you, please, Prince Consort, come inside!"

After speaking, this charming Western Regions lady bowed her head and quickly turned to enter the now brightly lit front hall.

This lady was none other than Mi Ayi, the maid of An Ge, and the Princess, of course, was An Ge herself.

"What?"

Hearing this title, the others were stunned, and soon after, noisier commotions arose from other parts of the courtyard.

These were the Hu People who had evacuated from Heavenly Fragrance Building.

And this location was a secret base of Heavenly Fragrance Building.

Members of the Holy Sect from the Western Regions had stumbled upon An Ge, the former Princess of Loulan, leading to a conflict.

Since Heavenly Fragrance Building was no longer safe, An Ge decisively had people move that same night and then thought that since they were already exposed, she took the Heavenly Dog and rushed into the Inner City prepared to take Mi Ayi and the others away, followed by the events that ensued.

At this moment, Chen Yuan paid no attention to the shock and confusion of those Hu People. With a quick step, he entered the front hall and with a "snap," he shut out the wind and snow outside the door.

Once inside the hall, it was eerily quiet.

"Prince Consort, right here!"

A voice came from behind the screen, a little timid.

Chen Yuan remembered this Western Regions woman; he had probably left her with some unpleasant memories from their first encounter, making her somewhat fearful of him.

His figure flashed and he moved behind the screen, where a carved wall was situated, and Mi Ayi was opening some kind of prohibition, which made clicking sounds of gears and mechanisms.

Then, she pushed open the wall in the middle, revealing a passage.

Chen Yuan followed her in.

The interior immediately became warm.

Shortly, Chen Yuan arrived at a secret chamber and saw An Ge.

The former Princess of Loulan was currently simmering soup over the fire.

"Mi Ayi, you may leave us," An Ge said.

Mi Ayi lifted her head slightly, glanced at her mistress, then carefully looked at Chen Yuan, lowered her head and replied, "Yes," before stepping out of the secret chamber.

During this time, An Ge ladled out a bowl of soup with her bare hands and, as her watery eyes and fluttering lashes looked towards Chen Yuan, she said,

"General, the long journey through the snow, this soup was prepared by me, to warm you up!"

Chen Yuan took a seat, reaching out to take the bowl from An Ge’s hand.

He sipped the soup, feeling a warm current fill his stomach, bringing a comforting warmth.

He slowly finished the bowl and then gently set it down, pulling An Ge to sit on his lap and stroking her stomach with his hand,

"Good, you and the child are safe!"

"Who were those people?"
