Chapter 1 Chen Xiao?

"Chen Xiao? You're Chen Xiao!"

The guard was suddenly surprised.

Clearly, they had heard of Chen Xiao's name as well.

"Now that you know it's me, hurry up and let me through!"

Chen Xiao said impatiently.

"You say you are, but who can prove you're Chen Xiao?"

The guard said, appearing tough but feeling timid.

Although he had heard of Chen Xiao's reputation, the Tian Ce Army all knew that Xiao Zhan and Chen Xiao were close.

That meant he was on the opposite side of Song Anbang, so this little guard naturally wouldn't give Chen Xiao a friendly look.

"I can prove it for him!"

Just then, a clear voice rang out, and Liu Yu arrived.

Although she was curious about how Chen Xiao had arrived at the camp gate in such a short time, this was clearly not the time to ask those questions.

"Oh, it's Secretary Liu!"

The guard clearly knew Liu Yu.

"Mr. Chen Xiao is Deputy Commander Xiao's honored guest. I was sent by Deputy Commander Xiao to welcome Mr. Chen Xiao. What's the problem, Group Leader Zhang?"

Liu Yu raised her chin and stared coldly at the guard.

And judging from Liu Yu's title for him, this guy seemed to be a small leader.

"Hehe, no problem!"

Group Leader Zhang stared at Liu Yu for a few seconds, and finally raised his hand and shouted with a fake smile, "Let him through!"

Although the other guards made way for Chen Xiao, they didn't move their guns away from him.

Chen Xiao sneered. A show of force, huh? You want to play that game with me? It seems like the Tian Ce Army needs a change!

Chen Xiao didn't bother making things difficult for these small fries, and walked forward without saying a word.

Xiao Hei also followed closely behind him, walking into the Tian Ce Army's camp together.

Watching the backs of the departing figures disappear completely at the end of the road, Group Leader Zhang immediately took out his satellite phone and made a call: "Deputy Commander Luo, I have something important to report to you..."

On the other side, Liu Yu led the two along a paved road towards the front.

There were many detached buildings on both sides of the road. The buildings were not very tall, mostly two or three stories, but the architectural style looked very sturdy.

Liu Yu pointed to one of them and said, "Mr. Chen, Military God Xiao has gone to the front lines, and I'm afraid it will be a while before he can come back. I'll take you to my office first."

"Okay."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Tell me, what's the situation now?"

Liu Yu hesitated, looking at Xiao Hei beside Chen Xiao.

"Oh, it's okay, he's one of us."

Chen Xiao realized Liu Yu's concern and explained, but he hadn't yet figured out how to introduce Xiao Hei to others.

Well... he didn't need to think about it, Xiao Hei had already thought it out for him.

"That's right, I'm one of us. Mr. Chen Xiao is my father."

Xiao Hei said with a smile.

"..."

Chen Xiao and Liu Yu were both speechless. Liu Yu really wanted to gossip about what was going on, but she didn't dare.

Moreover, for the time being, important matters were still the priority.

"Mr. Chen, what would you like to hear first?"

Liu Yu slowed down and asked.

"I heard that there have been major changes in the Tian Ce Army, and Military God Xiao has been removed?"

Chen Xiao said bluntly.

"That's right, Mr. Chen, Military God Xiao was indeed... removed. He's now just the deputy commander of the Tian Ce Army, and his power in the Tian Ce Army has been almost completely hollowed out."

Liu Yu considered it for a moment, feeling that the phrase 'removed' was not elegant enough, but it was very useful.

It perfectly explained the current situation of Military God Xiao.

"How could this happen? Military God Xiao has led the Tian Ce Army for so many years, he deserves credit even if he hasn't made any great achievements. How could he be removed for a single mistake? Even if he was removed, he shouldn't be hollowed out, right?"

Chen Xiao asked his question.

Liu Yu said with a wry smile, "Military God Xiao has met his match this time. At the beginning, no one thought things would turn out like this."

"Oh? Is that Song Anbang that powerful?"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

Liu Yu shook her head and said, "It's not just Song Anbang. The higher-ups not only sent Song Anbang to be the commander of the Tian Ce Army, but also appointed Luo Xingquan as the deputy commander. These two work together, leaving no loopholes, and have completely taken control of the Tian Ce Army in the hands of the Song family."

"Luo Xingquan, who is that?"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask.

Liu Yu explained, "Luo Xingquan is also from the Song family. His father was a confidant of the Song family's patriarch, and once held the official position of Deputy Metropolitan Commander. By his generation, he surpassed his father and has been very active in the military."

"This person is very good at office politics, forming cliques and engaging in self-interest. He has gathered a group of officials of his type under his command. They are like rats, scheming and plotting. Military God Xiao is upright and never engages in such dirty tricks, so naturally he is no match for him."

"So in a very short period of time, Luo Xingquan has taken control of almost all the powerful departments in the Tian Ce Army. Even the guards at the gate of the camp are his confidants."

When she said this, Liu Yu's tone was full of helplessness and frustration.

Because if there were no particularly big surprises, then her, as a former subordinate of Military God Xiao, would probably have to spend the rest of her career on the sidelines.

However, Chen Xiao smiled disdainfully after hearing this: "I didn't expect that the dignified Tian Ce Army would be thrown into such a chaotic state by a villain!"

In fact, he didn't say some things, just to take care of Liu Yu's feelings.

That is, the Tian Ce Army is just a name, and its inside is really not that good, otherwise it would not have been controlled by Luo Xingquan so quickly.

Although he didn't say those words, how could Liu Yu not think of them!

"The Tian Ce Army does have its problems, but the reason why Luo Xingquan was able to succeed is mainly because of Song Anbang. Without his strong support, Luo Xingquan would not dare to be so reckless!"

Liu Yu defended the Tian Ce Army.

"Oh?"

Chen Xiao asked suspiciously, "But as far as I know, that Song Anbang is just a defeated opponent of Military God Xiao. I heard that after he was defeated by Military God Xiao, he even went to Mount Wutai to become a monk. What qualifications does he have to be Luo Xingquan's support?"

"Mr. Chen, what you said is all in the past. The current Song Anbang is no longer who he used to be!"

Liu Yu said, "The current Song Anbang's strength is far above Military God Xiao's. There are rumors that the first thing Song Anbang did after taking office in the Tian Ce Army was to challenge Military God Xiao to a duel."

"As a result, Military God Xiao was defeated, and he was defeated very badly."

"Of course, this is just a rumor, there is no real evidence."

"But judging from Song Anbang's current arrogance and Military God Xiao's tolerance towards him, I think this rumor is very likely to be true."

In this way, everything became clear.

The reason why Song Anbang stood up was because he became stronger.

And this kid came back to make trouble for Military God Xiao after he became stronger, he is not a magnanimous person.

But then again, you have to be strong yourself. The reason why Military God Xiao has such an encounter is also his own problem.

He dedicated all his time and energy to the Tian Ce Army, but missed the opportunity to improve his strength.

For example, at the last martial arts competition, if Military God Xiao had also soaked in the Phoenix Spring, with his potential, he would at least be a Martial Saint now.

This is a matter of choice, and as for which choice is correct, it is a matter of opinion.

Chen Xiao just thought in hindsight that if Military God Xiao had the strength of a Martial Saint, then he should not have been defeated by Song Anbang.

And now, even if Chen Xiao wants to help Song Anbang, he doesn't know where to start.

For now, he can only take it one step at a time.

Chen Xiao stopped talking about this matter. Although Liu Yu was a little disappointed, she could understand.

After all, this is the internal affairs of the Tian Ce Army, and Chen Xiao, an outsider, should not interfere.

As they walked, Chen Xiao suddenly turned onto another path from a fork in the road.

Liu Yu quickly reminded him, "Mr. Chen, my office is this way."

"Let's not go to your office first, let's go over there and take a look. I'm going to see a friend first."

Chen Xiao gestured forward with his eyes.

Liu Yu suddenly remembered something: "I know, Mr. Chen, you're going to see Miss Chu!"

The place this road leads to is the training ground.

But the training ground is two kilometers away, how did Mr. Chen find out?

And when Xiao Hei heard the words 'Miss Chu', he immediately became vigilant.

Miss Chu... could this be another one of mother's rivals in love?

In a large training ground that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, there were only a few hundred people undergoing special training, which made it seem very empty.

In the North Border, where the temperature was dozens of degrees below zero, these hundreds of people were shirtless, showing their well-defined upper bodies, training hard, with white steam rising from their bodies.

In the square formation, a monk with his monk's robe half-undone, revealing half of his strong chest and a whole muscular arm.

His eyes were like those of a falcon, roaming over the warriors receiving special training.

Whenever he found someone being lazy or slack, he would jump over and beat them up.

The warriors were suffering unspeakable pain. Even if they had been training until they were numb and wanted to vomit, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

In this training ground full of masculinity, there stood a beauty of breathtaking charm.

She had delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, it was Chu Qingluan.

In this cold North Border, she seemed even more aloof, like a snow lotus that had been left behind by the world.

And she, who had originally been invited to give these warriors special training, could only stand by the side of the training ground at this moment.

Even if she knew that this kind of special training was wrong and meaningless, she could do nothing but watch helplessly.

Officials of a higher rank can crush people to death. She grew up in the Godslayer Hall, a semi-feudal place, and her understanding of this was even more profound.

The reason why she hasn't walked away yet is only because of her promise to Chen Xiao.

"Qingluan!"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Chu Qingluan was suddenly startled. Her beautiful eyes turned, and the sorrow that had gathered between her eyebrows instantly thawed.

The person she had been thinking about day and night, you've finally arrived...
