"From now on, you must be careful and cautious. After all, you are not alone anymore."

Su Ziyue was silent for a moment, then said softly.

"I understand."

Chen Yuan nodded.

He now controls the entire Shu Prefecture, as well as parts of Xue and Qing Prefectures. He has tens of millions of people under his command. The Shushan Sect, Dao Shen Palace, and Tianxu Palace have all placed their bets on him.

In addition, there are women such as Su Ziyue, Madam Xu, Shen Yanshu, and Zhang Wanshu. He is the support for all of them, although they would not necessarily die without him.

But if he is gone, many people will die.

However, sometimes he cannot decide everything. Tribulation is a desperate fight. If he does not fight desperately, how can he be qualified to compete for the world?

After that, Su Ziyue informed Chen Yuan of some recent situations.

During the time he went to the East China Sea, the Shu West Alliance and the Shu Central Alliance had been orderly integrated into one under the control of Su Ziyue, Jiang He, and others.

Although there were some small frictions, there were no major problems in the overall direction.

With the public support of Shushan, basically the entire Jianghu of Shu Prefecture is supporting him. Because of his own reputation, he has even attracted many people from other prefectures to come and join him.

The power is rapidly rising almost every day. Although the speed has begun to slow down now, it is still growing in an orderly manner.

On the official side, Chen Yuan had previously purged all those who were unwilling to support him, and now it is being implemented very thoroughly. All officials, at least in name, swear allegiance to him.

Shu Prefecture City is like a central hub, processing a large number of official documents every day.

Liu ZhengSong, the prefect of Tangshan Prefecture, has now been transferred to Shu Prefecture City like everyone else to assist Su Ziyue in managing the affairs of Shu Prefecture.

Han Yu, Du Ming, and others also have their own things to do.

As for the military.

Previously, tens of thousands of elite soldiers had been expanded in Tangshan Prefecture. These people are all old foundations. Many people are not even being trained as ordinary soldiers, but as squad leaders, section chiefs, and centurions.

Since the base was moved to Shu Prefecture, it has received the most support, and the expanded strength is also the greatest, including many martial arts masters who have joined the army.

And the troops under his command have also jumped to 200,000!

Although most of them have just joined the army, the quality of the soldiers is actually not low, including Jianghu warriors, poor families, powerful private armies, and aristocratic guards.

As long as they are trained for a period of time and tempered by war, they will surely be a strong army.

Of course, the premise is that all other imprints on these people must first be erased. No matter who you were before, now, you are just Chen Yuan's troops.

Only loyal to him!

The lessons of Sima's family are in front of him. He must learn from them and set the tone from the beginning, and not allow any other voices or imprints.

Now, Chu Changfeng, Yang Huatian, and others are dealing with this matter, eliminating all the troublemakers, making this army purer, so that they can be more comfortable when annexing other forces in the future.

"Well done."

After listening, Chen Yuan expressed his appreciation to Su Ziyue. Although many of the rules were set by him before, it is not easy to do it so perfectly. Su Ziyue has made full use of her advantages, and no one is allowed to cause trouble.

Even if Shangguan Hong's family, the Shangguan family, wants to obtain greater power from it, it is not allowed. What a joke, Shushan, Taixu Palace, and Dao Shen Palace have not even started yet.

You, a small one of the five great families, dare to openly form factions?

In the end, the matter was settled by beheading two elders of the Shangguan clan and displaying their heads to the public, which also suppressed other voices. Shangguan Hong immediately sought out Su Ziyue to explain.

Shangguan Yu and Shangguan Tiehong also approached Su Ziyue and took the initiative to admit that they had not managed their subordinates strictly, which eliminated this disaster.

"No matter what, the Shangguan family has suffered a lot of reputation. You should still go to the backyard and comfort Sister Shangguan, and Sister Zhang. She came when you left, and she is a little restrained in the house."

Su Ziyue said softly.

"You go and gather the others, and tell them I'm back."

Chen Yuan stood up and said without thinking.

Only a small number of people know that he has returned to Shu Prefecture City this time. This is not intentional, but the speed is too fast, and the others are distributed throughout Shu Prefecture.

Even if they want to get the news, it will take a day or two.

"Okay."

......

......

While Su Ziyue ordered to gather the many powerhouses and officials under Chen Yuan's command, he took advantage of this free time to come to the backyard.

Madam Xu need not be said, she is very capable. Before Su Ziyue came, she had been managing everything for Chen Yuan. Now she is also assisting Su Ziyue in her work.

Shen Yanshu is also the same. She herself is a person who does not admit defeat. Under Su Ziyue's training, she is still a little short of being able to handle things on her own, but she can help a lot.

Including Yu Qingyan, is also helping Su Ziyue as an assistant, dealing with many official documents that require decision-making.

Therefore, none of them are in the backyard.

Currently, there are only two people living in the backyard.

One is Shangguan Hong. Since the Shangguan family caused trouble for Chen Yuan, without anyone saying anything, she took the initiative to unload all her responsibilities.

The other is Zhang Wanshu.

She came to Tangshan from the capital full of joy, but learned that Chen Yuan had left. Under Su Ziyue's arrangement, she moved into the backyard.

Zhang Xuan was arranged to enter an important yamen, and like Shangguan Yu and others, he was in charge of power.

In Chen Yuan's emerging forces, the status of these trusted old people is rising, and even their strength is not worthy of their position.

Often, those whose realm is much higher than theirs have to obey their orders.

Chen Yuan's original residence was expanded from the Xuntian Division yamen in Tangshan Prefecture. Before moving to Shu Prefecture City, it also underwent an expansion. The place is very large, and this is Chen Yuan's territory.

Lu Renyi, the nominal Shu Prefecture Jin Envoy, knows himself very well and dare not live there. And under his supervision, this residence can be said to be magnificent.

Backyard, in front of the lake.

Zhang Wanshu and Shangguan Hong were talking and laughing, and occasionally made giggling laughter. They are the last women to enter Chen Yuan's backyard. In terms of status, they are naturally not as good as the previous ones. However, they also know their own situation and abilities, and will not cause trouble for Su Ziyue. They can only find some pastimes every day.

"Sister Shangguan, why hasn't he come back yet? Where did he go? When I asked Sister Su, she said she didn't know either, and that we should wait a little longer."

Zhang Wanshu, dressed in a green dress, was throwing fish food into the lake, pursing her lips.

Her younger brother is Zhang Xuan, and Shangguan Hong's older brother is Shangguan Yu. The two of them are friends of the same generation. Zhang Wanshu is a few years older than Shangguan Hong, so although she came last, it is not an exaggeration to call her sister.

"What, do you miss him?"

Shangguan Hong blinked her eyes and teased.

"Don't you?"

"I... of course I don't." Shangguan Hong straightened her back, her mouth was very tough.

"Really?"

Suddenly, a very magnetic voice echoed around them.

When Zhang Wanshu and Shangguan Hong heard this voice, they were stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't believe it. They quickly looked back and saw a young master in a white robe standing behind them, looking at them with a smile on his face.

It was Chen Yuan!

"Ah..."

"You..."

The two of them widened their eyes, their eyes full of surprise.

As for the maids beside them, their bodies stiffened and were controlled. Then, Chen Yuan removed the pressure. With a look, the maids quickly bowed and retreated.

Leaving the space to the three of them.

Chen Yuan hugged Zhang Wanshu and Shangguan Hong with one hand each, with a faint smile on his lips. He was quite restrained before, but now that they have followed him, there is no need to be restrained.

After the rebirth in the Yang God Tribulation, many of his thoughts have gradually changed.

"I'm back."

"Your concubine thought you wouldn't come back."

Zhang Wanshu reached out and poked Chen Yuan's hard chest and said reproachfully.

"Yeah, where have you been having fun lately?"

Shangguan Hong was a little shy towards Chen Yuan before and didn't dare to express herself, but looking at Zhang Wanshu's expression, she also snorted softly.

Chen Yuan scratched his big head, looked at Shangguan Hong fiercely, and said:

"Aren't you missing me? Why are you asking so much?"

"I...I..." The always heroic Shangguan Hong lowered her head quickly when she heard Chen Yuan say this, seeming a little scared.

"Oh, Sister Shangguan is just joking..."

Zhang Wanshu patted Chen Yuan and said quickly.

"No, I'm angry, so..."

"So what?"

"So you two must be punished."

With that, Chen Yuan directly carried the two of them on his shoulders and walked towards the room, as arrogant as an evil tyrant who was robbing women.

Zhang Wanshu and Shangguan Hong were both shocked. They didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. Their faces quickly turned red and they were a little embarrassed, but they were about to enter the door.

Zhang Wanshu quickly patted Chen Yuan on the back and said anxiously:

"Put me down first, you can't... you can't do this."

"You don't want to?"

"One at a time, you... how can you do it together? This... this is indecent..."

"Ah..."

"Hehe, as the saying goes, of three men walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher. Ladies, let Chen give you a lesson..." (10,000 words omitted here. Welcome to Reading to support genuine reading.)

......

......

Teacher Chen, who doesn't like painting very much, gave the newly graduated Second Sister Zhang and Sister Shangguan a small lesson on indescribable things.

Overall, the class was very long, and they listened attentively and felt that they had benefited a lot. Teacher Chen naturally imparted all his knowledge to the two students.

During the (very long) time that Teacher Chen was teaching, the news of his appearance in Shu Prefecture City also began to spread rapidly in all directions.

Shen Yanshu, Madam Xu, and others also missed Chen Yuan very much and hurriedly put down their various affairs and came to find Chen Yuan, only to find that he was currently teaching.

Each of them spat and quickly returned to their rooms, waiting for Teacher Chen to teach.

After taking care of the two newly enrolled students, Chen Yuan quickly rushed to Madam Xu's room and talked with her for a long time.

Madam Xu was also very cooperative with him, almost always responsive, and told him about the recent events in more detail.

This talk lasted for two hours.

Like a shuttlecock, Chen Yuan went to Shen Yanshu's room again, and used his current powerful cultivation to nourish Shen Yanshu, pouring in a powerful spiritual power.

They are different from others. Chen Yuan has dragon energy, and Shen Yanshu is born with a phoenix body. Under the harmony of the dragon and phoenix, it is extremely beneficial to the practice of martial arts.

Chen Yuan didn't want them to turn into withered bones in the face of time, and tried his best to help them improve their strength.

This assistance lasted for another two hours.

After Chen Yuan finished his cultivation, he went to Yu Qingyan's room, but she seemed to deliberately avoid Chen Yuan today and did not show up. In the end, he could only go to Su Ziyue.

"Are you... alright?"

Su Ziyue looked at Chen Yuan with a slightly scrutinizing look. Knowing Chen Yuan's preferences, a white fox tail slowly rose from under her clothes and hovered in the void.

Like a high queen.

Chen Yuan's eyes were calm, he nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Of course."

He is different from others. After the Yang God Tribulation, he is even stronger!

He only felt that the blood in his body was burning at this moment.

Then, Chen Yuan pounced on.

He must subdue Su Ziyue, this fox spirit, and eliminate harm for the people!

......

......

For two consecutive days, Chen Yuan was addicted to the gentle embrace and could not extricate himself. After experiencing the Zijing Mountain battle and the Yang God Tribulation, he was actually very tired both physically and mentally.

Later, he rushed back to Shu Prefecture without stopping, and needed to rest for a while.

Therefore, on the way those people below came, he indulged himself a few times, which was extremely rare.

Although this indulgence did not last long, it completely eliminated the fatigue in his mind and prepared him to face the upcoming struggle for the world with a better attitude!

Two days was enough for those martial arts powerhouses to rush back to Shu Prefecture City.

When Lingxu Zhenjun, the last Shushan Sect Leader, arrived in Shu Prefecture City, it basically declared that all the Yang God True Monarchs in Chen Yuan's current jurisdiction had gathered here.

Inside the main hall of the Xuntian Division.

There were dozens of figures standing, making the originally spacious Xuntian Hall a bit crowded. Among these people were Chu Changfeng, Jiang He, and Yang Huatian, who were from the Dao Shen Palace, and Tianxu Daoist, the leader of the Taixu Palace, and Lingxu Zhenjun, the leader of the Shushan Sect, who were from the Xianmen Sect.

In addition, there were Huang Tianshu, the leader of the Shu West Alliance, Shangguan Tiehong, the leader of the Shu Central Alliance, and several high-level officials, several high-level officials of Chen Yuan's military, and many high-level officials of the government.

People like Liu ZhengSong were also gathered here.

Shangguan Yu, Bai Changqing, Zhang Xuan, and other old acquaintances were also here. It can be said that the people who can now stand in the Xuntian Hall are all high-ranking existences under Chen Yuan's jurisdiction.

Without anyone arranging it, these people stood in four rows like going to court, each standing according to their status and strength, waiting for Chen Yuan's arrival, with solemn faces.

At the side door of the Xuntian Hall, Chen Yuan stood for a moment with a calm face in a black martial arts robe with gold patterns, scanning the room with his divine sense, and gradually a smile appeared on his face.

He slowly walked towards the upper end of the hall.

The eyes of the people below also fell on Chen Yuan. When he walked to the center and faced everyone, voices echoed in the Xuntian Hall.

"Greetings, Marquis!"

"Greetings, Lord!"

"Greetings, Alliance Leader!"

"Greetings, True Monarch!"

"Greetings..."

A chaotic and different series of greetings sounded, and then, everyone bowed in turn, formally expressing their loyalty to Chen Yuan.

"Please rise."

Chen Yuan waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted everyone up.

"Today, I have gathered you all for only one thing, that is, Chen has returned from the outside. Now, we can officially start attacking the forces in other prefectures."

Chen Yuan's voice was extremely contagious.

The faces of everyone also showed their excitement. Now, looking at the various forces in the Central Plains, Chen Yuan's side can definitely occupy the forefront.

There are many hopes to compete for the world.

Tianxu Daoist of Taixu Palace took a step forward, waved his robe, and chuckled:

"True Monarch, there is still one thing in front of us now."

"Taoist Priest, please speak frankly."

Tianxu Daoist cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"Now the chaos in the world has completely appeared, and all forces are sharpening their swords and preparing their horses. We are no exception, but there are priorities and urgency. We need a formal reason to send troops.

"True Monarch declared to the world that he would no longer be an official of the imperial court, but it is not good to issue orders as a Jianghu person. Therefore, I believe that True Monarch should proclaim himself king as soon as possible, so that it is justified!"

As soon as he spoke, the others seemed to have discussed it.

Lingxu Daoist cupped his hands and said:

"Please True Monarch advance to the throne of king to quell the chaos!"

Shangguan Tiehong was one step behind, but also quickly said:

"Please Alliance Leader proclaim himself king as soon as possible and announce it to the world!"

Lu Renyi, the Shu Prefecture Jin Envoy, also opened his mouth and said:

"Please Lord proclaim himself king and crusade against the violent Jin!"

Yang Huatian, Chu Changfeng, Liu ZhengSong, Zhang Xuan, Shangguan Yu, Huang Tianshu, Zhu Huai, and others also quickly said:

"Please Lord proclaim himself king and announce it to the world!"

"Please Marquis advance to the rank of king and attack the violent Jin!"

"Please Brother Chen proclaim himself king so that our Shu Prefecture people have something to look forward to."

In the end, a voice gradually gathered in the Xuntian Hall:

"Please True Monarch advance to the throne of king, attack the violent Jin, and quell the chaos!"
