"What's easy?"

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"This thing contains a large amount of spiritual essence. After using it too much, eating other dishes will only feel bland and tasteless," Wei Wuque continued.

"I understand."

Chen Yuan took the black porcelain bottle and smiled softly.

He was not the kind of person who was too greedy for carnal desires. In his heart, only becoming stronger was the real driving force, only occasionally changing the taste.

After all, people are not machines. They have joys, sorrows, and occasional relaxation is very necessary.

After giving the porcelain bottle to Chen Yuan, Wei Wuque led him into the Prince's mansion. It seemed that Wei Jinfeng had expected him to come and was already waiting in the backyard of the mansion.

"Sit."

Seeing Chen Yuan approaching, Wei Jinfeng pointed to a cyan jade stool in front of him and said.

Chen Yuan was not polite and sat down directly. Wei Wuque poured him a cup of spiritual tea and then sat in the middle of the two.

"Since the imperial decree has arrived, when will you leave?"

"Today."

Chen Yuan replied briefly.

"So soon?"

Wei Jinfeng seemed a little surprised, his eyebrows slightly moving.

"There is nothing else to do staying here, so I might as well go back as soon as possible."

He had already arranged everything he needed to arrange. Feng Jiuying had fully taken over the affairs of the Sky Survey Division. There was no need for him to stay.

There was no need to waste time.

"Alright."

Wei Jinfeng pondered for a moment and said.

After that, the two were a little silent. Seeing this, Wei Wuque quickly said:

"This time, after Brother Chen returns, I'm afraid it won't just be about being ennobled as a Marquis. Perhaps His Majesty will entrust him with important responsibilities. At that time, even sitting in the capital and becoming a Divine Envoy won't be out of the question."

The four Divine Envoys of the Sky Survey Division were at the top of the organization, but that did not mean that there were no other Huayang experts besides the four of them.

These people were the future candidates for the four Divine Envoys of the Sky Survey Division. Some were in the capital, and some were sealing off a region outside. Of course, there were not many such people.

Only a few.

Now, Chen Yuan could be considered to have joined this category.

With the guidance from above and the many merits he had previously established, he would definitely become the first candidate in the future, with unlimited prospects.

"Sitting in the capital is not what I desire. Being stationed outside is the way to go." The other party already knew his ambition to acquire war horses, so there was no need to hide too much.

As expected, after hearing Chen Yuan's words, neither Wei Wuque nor Wei Jinfeng showed any surprise.

They had obviously expected it.

If he really wanted to sit in the capital and become an important minister in the court, why would he try to get exotic war horses to train a large army of iron cavalry?

"Do you have a target?"

"Qing and Shu provinces will do."

"Well, these two provinces are not bad, but remember to find a way not to be sealed in Southern Border." Wei Jinfeng squinted and advised Chen Yuan.

"I hope the Prince can enlighten me?"

"Nangong Lie is not an easy person to deal with. He... is not that simple."

Wei Jinfeng said in a deep voice.

Chen Yuan was no stranger to the name Nangong Lie, because that was the Prince Zhennan who was as famous as the Prince Beiliang, and he had been stationed in the Southern Border for more than two hundred years.

Ranked tenth on the Supreme List!

Moreover, unlike Wei Jinfeng, Nangong Lie's strength has not been diminished in recent years, because the Southern Border has been relatively stable in the past few hundred years.

And Nangong Lie's presence is not strong.

In fact, looking at it this way, the strength of the imperial court is not weak. Just the top ten Peerless True Monarchs on the Supreme List occupy three spots, adding up to millions of troops.

But they are not of one mind. On the contrary, they have some ulterior motives, which led to the continuous turmoil in the imperial court, the chaos in the Jianghu, and the failure of the imperial court to suppress the Jianghu in many places.

The Nanling Prefecture where he used to be was considered good. In some places, the Jianghu martial artists did not take the imperial court seriously at all.

"Could it be that Prince Zhennan has some problems?"

Although Chen Yuan did not intend to go to the Southern Border, it did not prevent him from understanding these people. Now, he could be considered a high-level official of the imperial court, and he would inevitably deal with them in the future.

Especially since he was preparing to develop in the south, and Prince Zhennan was located in the southernmost part of the imperial court's territory.

"The specifics are not clear to this Prince. You just need to be careful."

Wei Jinfeng did not know if he really did not know or was unwilling to say more. After telling Chen Yuan that Nangong Lie was not simple, he did not say anything else.

"Chen understands."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"You have a debt of gratitude to Liang Province. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can send someone to find me. This Prince can help you once." Wei Jinfeng gave Chen Yuan a promise.

It was also a reward for him risking his life to activate the Zhenwu Immortal Sword.

"Then I will thank the Prince."

A faint smile appeared on Chen Yuan's face.

The promise of the fourth on the Supreme List was still very important. If it was inconvenient for him to use Senior Moro in the future, or if he was sleeping, he could send someone to contact Wei Jinfeng.

In the backyard of the Beiliang Prince's Mansion, Chen Yuan, Wei Wuque, and Wei Jinfeng talked a lot. At the beginning, most of it was Wei Wuque who spoke, and then it became Wei Jinfeng.

The other party gave him a lot of advice on the art of war, the way to be a general and a commander.

He benefited a lot.

In addition, Wei Jinfeng rarely mentioned the current situation in the world, telling Chen Yuan that if he wanted to do something big in the future, he must be careful and cautious.

Although two of the Ten Great Immortal Sects have been in seclusion for a long time, they have not disappeared.

The other major immortal sects are also very powerful, and they control a lot of power in the world. These are all hidden dangers left over from the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Now, there is already a situation where the tail is wagging the dog.

Chen Yuan naturally understood what Wei Jinfeng meant by 'big things' and humbly asked for advice.

Compared to him, who had grown to this point in just a few years, Wei Jinfeng had lived for more than two hundred years, and his experience and methods were not that simple.

Otherwise, the imperial court would not be so wary of him.

After staying in the Beiliang Prince's Mansion for half a day, Chen Yuan had his last meal with Wei Jinfeng and then bid farewell. Wei Wuque sent him to the door.

"Brother Chen, take care!"

Wei Wuque knew that Chen Yuan was leaving today, so he would not stay for long. This parting, who knew when they would meet again.

"Take care."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and cupped his hands.

"The beauties I prepared for Brother Chen before are still in the mansion. Why not take them away together?" Wei Wuque suddenly smiled.

"Brother Wei, keep them for yourself."

Chen Yuan smiled heartily and turned to leave.

Looking at Chen Yuan's gradually receding back, Wei Wuque shook his head with a smile:

"Brother Chen, he really knows how to restrain himself, noble, amazing..."

......

......

After bidding farewell to Wei Jinfeng and his son, Chen Yuan did not leave immediately. He stayed in the Sky Survey Division for a while, met with Feng Jiuying, gave some instructions, and then left Liangzhou City quietly.

In fact, with his reputation, if the news of his departure was spread, there would inevitably be a scene of thousands of people sending him off like before, but he felt that it was too much.

There had been several times before, and his reputation was already very high, so there was no need to do this again.

He came to Liangzhou to take office quietly and left quietly, which was just right.

And this time's departure laid a solid foundation for Chen Yuan in the north, and the ambition that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time would gradually begin to prepare in the next period of time.

When the Northern Barbarians invaded, Chen Yuan could have left, watching the Northern Barbarian army trample over Liangzhou. In this way, if not the whole world, then at least the north would be in chaos.

But this was not in line with his interests.

He was only at the Dan Realm, so what benefits could he get even if the world was in chaos?

And most importantly, the chaos in the Central Plains was a matter for the people of the Central Plains. He could not bring himself to sit idly by and watch the barbarians harm the Central Plains.

Having come to the Central Plains, he was a person of the Central Plains.

This world, which was similar to his previous life's ancient world, still gave him a lot of sense of belonging.

Of course, there was another reason.

That was, Chen Yuan hoped that the beginning of the chaos in the world would be started by himself!

Only when everything was under control could he truly be happy.

Above Liangzhou City.

Wei Jinfeng's figure slowly condensed, his eyes looking south, in the direction of Chen Yuan's departure. After staying for a moment, he suddenly said faintly, "Show yourself."

As soon as his voice fell, the void fifty feet away in the northeast suddenly twisted, and Xiang Qianqiu, wrapped in a black martial arts robe, slowly appeared.

He looked at Wei Jinfeng and said:

"How did you know I would come?"

"He is your son, about to leave. Wouldn't you show yourself?"

"Interesting."

"I'm afraid you also showed yourself in Liangzhou City when Chen Yuan was dying before?"

Wei Jinfeng turned his head and asked him.

"Is that important?"

Xiang Qianqiu asked rhetorically.

"Of course, it's important. This Prince thought you should have shown yourself during the great battle in Liangzhou City before." Wei Jinfeng squinted and said. He had included Xiang Qianqiu in his calculations.

But he did not expect that even to that extent, he could still hold his breath and watch Chen Yuan suffer the backlash.

That was when he wondered if Chen Yuan was really Xiang Qianqiu's son?

Even tigers do not eat their cubs, but he was indifferent.

"I can't show myself, and I won't show myself. Life and death are destined by fate. If he died, it can only be said that he is a waste." Xiang Qianqiu's eyes were calm, as if he was not talking about his son.

Just an irrelevant passerby.

"What if he didn't die?"

"Then he is qualified to become my pawn."

"Hehe, Xiang Qianqiu, you are too conceited. With his talent, it won't be long before he catches up with you. At that time, with his personality, he might really kill you."

Wei Jinfeng said in a deep voice.

"As long as he has the strength, he can kill me. In the face of interests, what does father and son count for?" Xiang Qianqiu revealed his cold-blooded side.

"Hehe..."

Wei Jinfeng just sneered twice.

"I heard that you have a source of Dao injury and have no hope of reaching the Sixth Realm in this life. How does it feel?"

Xiang Qianqiu looked at him and smiled softly.

"This feeling is pretty good."

"As expected of the world-renowned Prince Beiliang, your tone is as arrogant as ever. Very good, very good. I have something that can cure your injury."

Xiang Qianqiu suddenly changed the subject.

"What's the price?"

Wei Jinfeng did not think he was so kind, considering that he didn't even care about the life of his own son.

"Listen to my orders from now on, return to the command of Great Chu. When the important matter is settled in the future, you will still be your Prince Beiliang, guarding Liangzhou to resist the Northern Barbarians for Us. How about that?"

"What do you think?"

"I think it's very good. With your talent, there is still a chance to glimpse the supreme Sixth Realm, attain Dao and become an immortal, and enjoy hundreds of years of life. Why be constrained by small matters."

"It is indeed a very good proposal, but... I refuse. I don't trust to cooperate with someone like you."

Wei Jinfeng looked at him disdainfully.

He was completely unmoved by his conditions.

Perhaps he really had spiritual objects that could heal his injuries, but he did not care, because he had very little hope for the Sixth Realm itself. It was not his wish to work for such a person.

"What a pity."

Xiang Qianqiu was not angry, nor did he threaten him in exasperation. He just shook his head slowly, as if he had expected Wei Jinfeng to answer like this.

"There's nothing to regret. I really don't trust you. But if you have any ideas, you might as well go to Nangong Lie. I heard that his only son is born weak and his life is about to end. Any secret methods or spiritual objects can only maintain it. You might as well try it. Maybe he can return to the command of Great Chu."

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Wei Jinfeng's mouth.

"Nangong Lie... Hehe, is he worthy? The reason why his son was born weak was caused by me. Does he really think that he can be cured by Jingtai's means?"

"Wishful thinking."

A cold light flashed in Xiang Qianqiu's eyes:

"I will make him extinct and destroy his incense, as the price he paid for betraying the imperial court back then!"

When the Sima family suddenly attacked Great Chu that year, the Liangzhou border garrison general died in battle because of the Northern Barbarian attack and could not return to help. However, there was no war in the Southern Border. Nangong Lie sat idly by, and even revealed the movements of the Chen Family Army's 100,000 iron cavalry to the Sima family in advance, which is why that battle happened in Chenxue Lake.

And according to his investigation over the years, Nangong Lie had been in contact with the Sima family a long time ago. The other party's bargaining chip was to give him the Southern Border.

Perhaps there were other reasons, but it was no longer important.

The mistakes made that year must be repented.

"Nangong Lie is not that simple."

Wei Jinfeng said.

Nangong Lie's qualifications were even stronger than his. Back then, he was just one of the subordinates of that border garrison general, but Nangong Lie had been stationed in the Southern Border for many years.

He held military and political power in his hands.

Except for not having the title of a Prince, he was given many other honors. The Xiang family was kind and righteous to him back then, but he betrayed them with a single blow.

Therefore, even he was a little disgusted with this person.

However, business must still be done, otherwise, he would not be able to take out so many resources to raise troops.

"It's nothing more than having contact with the Sima family and those monsters. Prince Zhennan, it won't be long before he will be permanently stationed in the Southern Border and die."

Xiang Qianqiu's eyes turned cold, and a wisp of killing intent surrounded him.

"Then... I will wait and see."

Wei Jinfeng smiled. He had no good feelings for either Xiang Qianqiu or Nangong Lie. If they were to fight, it would be quite interesting.

"Chen Yuan bought exotic warhorses from you?"

Suddenly, Xiang Qianqiu said slowly.

"You mixed sand into my command?!" Wei Jinfeng frowned, faintly angry.

"Why does the dignified Prince Beiliang have such a big temper? You should be broad-minded. Xiang is just asking." Although he said so, there was still a smile on his face.

"Xiang Qianqiu, do you think I dare not attack?"

"Even in your prime, you were no match for me. Now that your injuries have not healed, Brother Wei, what can you use to fight me?"

"You..."

"Xiang is just asking. You and I have some friendship, so why be angry?"

"This is not the reason for you to send people to infiltrate the Beiliang Army."

"The Beiliang Army is indeed an elite, but as long as they are people, there will be flaws. Why do you think no one is mixing sand? Besides Xiang, do you think Jingtai will be honest?"

"Humph."

Wei Jinfeng snorted coldly, his eyes slightly sinking.

"This kid is worthy of being my seed. He started preparing as early as Tangshan. It's a pity that his time is too short and his accumulation is not enough."

Xiang Qianqiu stopped looking at Wei Jinfeng and sighed.

"Then what preparations has His Highness the Crown Prince made? Why don't you tell me."

"You are unwilling to return to Great Chu. It's better not to know these things." Saying that, Xiang Qianqiu's eyes turned to Wei Jinfeng again:

"Brother Wei, are you really not considering it? When the Beiliang Army recovers its vitality, coupled with the Xiang family's preparations, it is not impossible to restore the country."

"Does the Xiang family have an immortal sitting in charge?"

Wei Jinfeng turned his eyes.

Although the Sima family's person only served as emperor for a short time after seizing the throne before returning to the west, anyone with knowledge knew that this was just a cover.

You must know that he was a true peak powerhouse back then.

The pillar of Great Chu.

And to overthrow the imperial court and restore Great Chu, the first and foremost condition is to have an immortal sitting in charge. Without these, everything is just empty talk.

"The Sixth Realm... is it difficult?"

Xiang Qianqiu smiled mysteriously.

Wei Jinfeng glanced at Xiang Qianqiu deeply:

"You want to break through?"

"What about it?"

"If you have the confidence, you can try it. Perhaps when you take action, I might really help you."

"Remember your words, and recover your injuries as soon as possible. The real big scene is next." Xiang Qianqiu smiled softly, with a strong confidence on his face.

"It seems that your progress in the past few decades has allowed you to progress again. But even so, it is not so easy for you to advance to the Sixth Realm. Confidence is a good thing, but conceit is not."

"You just wait and see. I will reach the Immortal Realm."

Xiang Qianqiu did not take it seriously.

"Good."

Xiang Qianqiu's eyes looked south, a cold look flashing in his eyes, and he thought:

"For the sake of restoring Chu, this is the price you must pay. Your birth is a link in the plan. It's a pity that your cultivation is still too weak. Continue to cultivate."

Wei Jinfeng's eyes flickered, and he followed Xiang Qianqiu's gaze to the south, a cold smile flashing in his eyes.

Chen Yuan... is not that simple.

Xiang Qianqiu, I am looking forward to seeing you panicking, to see if you are still as conceited as you are now, claiming to have calculated everything, but unable to calculate that Chen Yuan is not so weak.

Whether it was the battle in Liangzhou City, or the subsequent period of silence, or the help from the Mount Wudang, they all made him feel that Chen Yuan had a secret.

Moreover, this secret was not small.

Xiang Qianqiu, did you calculate it?
