Chapter 827: Chapter 490: Golden Envoy Chen Yuan!
His old acquaintance, Yang Yuanqing, came!
Logically, with Yang Yuanqing’s status and strength, there was no need for him to do such a thing, but he insisted on coming. During the time he was recovering from his wound, Yang Yuanqing couldn’t stop recalling that battle.
The hatred in his heart towards Chen Yuan had reached its peak, yet it was also accompanied by an inexplicable fear. Every time he thought of Chen Yuan, he remembered that terrifying might.
In front of him, he felt like an ant.
This is… a heart demon.
After consulting his godfather, Cao Zhengxian, Yang Yuanqing realized that avoiding Chen Yuan would only worsen his heart demon. He had to face his fear.
So… he came.
He personally brought the Imperial Decree to the Duke Wuwei Mansion.
Chen Yuan remained with the same posture, only slightly bowing to show respect for the imperial power. This time, Yang Yuanqing didn’t dare to reprimand him as before.
After reading the Imperial Decree, Yang Yuanqing slowly approached Chen Yuan, handed it to him, and said softly:
“Chen Yuan, don’t be complacent for too long. I will catch up to you.”
With an expressionless face, Chen Yuan glanced at this person who only knew how to speak harshly while inwardly timid, took the Imperial Decree and said indifferently, “I’ll give you time to catch up until you can’t even see my shadow.”
After saying this, he ignored the iron-faced Yang Yuanqing, left the room directly.
Towards this person, Chen Yuan truly never considered him seriously from beginning to end. If it weren’t for his status preventing him from killing him, he would have punched him into a mist of blood long ago.
It’s a pity, there’s no opportunity.
He can only see if there’s a chance to meet outside the Capital in the future, then… that would be his doom!
Yang Yuanqing, a name that makes people sick to their stomach, as annoying as the loyal and righteous family with the surname Liu.
Along with the Imperial Decree, there was also the official uniform and waist badge of a Heavenly Patrol Golden Envoy of rank four. With this, Chen Yuan officially became a rank four court official.
As soon as he got the power he’d wanted, Chen Yuan suddenly found it somewhat tasteless and threw it into the Heavenly Book Space directly.
Because of Chen Yuan’s discourtesy, no one in the Duke Wuwei Mansion dared to entertain Yang Yuanqing and his party, allowing them to leave the Earl Mansion with ashen faces.
As soon as the Imperial Decree arrived, the news of Chen Yuan’s appointment as a Heavenly Patrol Golden Envoy spread out, causing quite a stir within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.
Although many were dissatisfied, feeling that Chen Yuan’s qualifications were insufficient for the position of Golden Envoy, no one foolishly raised any objections.
Because once the Imperial Decree arrives, it’s completely settled.
If one truly has dissatisfaction, they will only be reprimanded by the superiors.
Where there is dissatisfaction, there are also those who are happy for Chen Yuan, especially several deputy commanders from the Eastern Imperial City Bureau, who personally came to congratulate him, with smiles stretching to their ears.
But except for Tao Qingyuan, none of the other Vice Envoys were genuinely happy for Chen Yuan. They were glad to finally send off this harbinger of disaster.
Most of them had connections, and life was quite good before Chen Yuan arrived, but after he did, he went directly after the imperial kinsmen, scaring them to the point of not daring to slack off anymore.
For fear that Chen Yuan might find an excuse to cut them down too.
Now that Chen Yuan has been promoted, isn’t it good news for them?
As for these people’s thoughts, Chen Yuan knew them well. He merely exchanged polite words and then took Tao Qingyuan to the backyard, advising him to be cautious in the future.
Tao Qingyuan directly expressed his wish to follow Chen Yuan to Liangzhou for orders. By now, he had long forgotten his previous position as a superior and had fully embraced the status of a subordinate.
And with a boss like Chen Yuan, it was clearly the best.
Protective!
But this time, Chen Yuan would not bring anyone with him. Aside from Gu Tianqiong’s previous words, he himself didn’t want to bring anyone to add chaos, since this time was not just about construction, but there were significant tasks to undertake.
Helping Senior Moluo recover his injuries, finding ways to obtain more warhorses, and by the way… no… primarily see if he can find his Qi Fortune Master again.
Leaving the Capital, for Chen Yuan, means freedom like a fish in a wide sea, freedom like a bird in a high sky!
Although Tao Qingyuan was somewhat disappointed with Chen Yuan’s answer, he didn’t insist further, stating he’d take care of the Duke Wuwei Mansion and wait for orders from Chen Yuan at the Imperial City Department anytime.
On the other side, Sima Ke was a bit disappointed upon learning that Chen Yuan was about to leave the Capital to be stationed as a Golden Envoy in Liangzhou. Although Chen Yuan was indeed promoted, how could he help him if he’s not in the Capital?
The relationship that had just slightly improved, wouldn’t it become even more distant due to Chen Yuan’s departure?
Sima Ke suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Since Chen Yuan’s departure was already set, he could only let things take their course,
waiting for him to return to the Capital.
He only hoped that Chen Yuan’s cultivation would breakthrough faster, to become one of the four Divine Envoys of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau soon, but before leaving, it was best to maintain the relationship of comrades in the same path with him.
After thinking for half a day, Sima Ke finally made a rebellious decision against his ancestors, immediately rising to go to the Harem, to meet Noble Consort Yang.
“Ke’er, why are you here?”
Noble Consort Yang was a bit surprised; it wasn’t a festive occasion, yet he had been coming quite frequently these days.
And Sima Ke dismissed the surrounding maids, mysteriously whispering:
“Mother Consort, Chen Yuan is about to be posted as a Golden Envoy.”
“What’s going on?”
Having stayed in the deep palace for long, Noble Consort Yang asked in surprise.
Subsequently, Sima Ke explained everything in full detail.
Noble Consort Yang pondered for a long time and said:
“This is a good thing. The higher Chen Yuan’s status, the more he can help you in the future. The Emperor is in his prime, there’s no need to rush.”
“But I’m afraid that the relationship that just improved will become distant due to his departure.”
“So, what are you trying to say?” Noble Consort Yang was stunned and blurted out.
“I think Chen Yuan, being full of Blood Qi, will look for women in Liangzhou. Rather than letting others take advantage, wouldn’t it be better if Mother Consort before he leaves…”
