I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 757 - 467: Lady, May I Come In? (Fan Nickname)_2

"Raise the Civilian Umbrella."

Chen Yuan did as instructed.

Then, he witnessed a wondrous transformation.

The originally tattered Civilian Umbrella was now emitting a faint light, and, in places not visible to Chen Yuan, streaks of light converged from various parts of Tangshan Prefecture.

"Is this... repairing itself?"

Chen Yuan asked in astonishment.

"Indeed...."

It was as if an invisible force was propping up the damaged Civilian Umbrella, and now the various colored strips of cloth were also weaving together. In just a short moment,

the broken Civilian Umbrella was restored to wholeness.

This... was far beyond Chen Yuan’s expectations.

At least, before coming to Tangshan Prefecture, he had not expected that the Civilian Umbrella could still be repaired. He had only planned to place this object in the Heavenly Book as a keepsake.

Or perhaps to repair it through other means.

This situation could not be described as anything but miraculous.

It would seem that the words he left with Lady Xu had taken effect, along with various forms of propaganda, the people of Tangshan Prefecture had deified him.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan remained silent for a long while before shifting his position.

...

...

Inside the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

Lady Xu seriously reviewed the documents submitted by Liu Zhengsong and Han Yu, which included only a part of the government-related information; the vast majority pertained to their expansion of influence.

With Chen Yuan granting them authority and the rich resources of Tangshan Prefecture, they were expanding their influence very rapidly. The Military Equipment Army had secretly recruited thousands of members.

Together with the prior Military Equipment Army,

Tangshan Prefecture now had an army of ten thousand strong!

All of these men could be considered elite, and all were Martial Artists.

Even though the vast majority had just begun their cultivation, they were still Martial Artists.

Of course, expanding the army to such an extent had essentially reached the limit of Tangshan Prefecture. Tens of thousands of people and horses consume a lot, leading to considerable expenditure.

The most critical need was... Primordial Crystals!

For officials with high cultivation levels, it would not do to still issue them gold and silver, only Primordial Crystals would suffice.

Even with the support from Qingzhou City, there were still limits.

Chen Yuan was aware of this matter too and remotely commanded a halt to further military expansion. Instead, he started expanding influence through other methods in several prefectures near Tangshan Prefecture.

They had already planted their hands there...

And now, this hand was gradually reaching into more prefectures.

The training of the Military Equipment Army also differed. In addition to the normal condensing of battle Formations, the one phrase most frequently shouted by these soldiers each day

was their allegiance to Chen Yuan.

Eating the rice of Green Envoy Chen, they must sell their lives for Green Envoy Chen!

Of course, Chen Yuan was well aware of these stakes and knew that once this matter was exposed, the Emperor would never tolerate him. Thus, ahead of time, he had ordered many loyal subordinates to be planted throughout the army.

Even so, there were still those who wanted to report this matter, believing Chen Yuan harbored rebellious intentions, but they were noticed early on and quietly departed from this world.

The training of these troops was thoroughly closed off, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, with the surroundings inscribed with Formations and guarded by Martial Artists.

The location was set within the vast Tangshan mountain range!

"These matters I entrust to the several lords," said Lady Xu.

After reviewing everything, Lady Xu stamped the documents with a specially made official seal, which was then conveyed by a maid to Han Yu, Liu Zhengsong, Du Ming, the lords below.

Han Yu and the others were the picture of deference, careful not to show the slightest disrespect.

Although Chen Yuan was not present, Lady Xu was practically his embodiment!

Coupled with Chen Yuan’s reputation, which was at its peak, who would dare harbor a hint of disloyalty?

And most importantly, they were now bound to the current Chen Yuan; expanding influence, assassinating court officials, privately recruiting troops, any of these actions alone would be enough to annihilate their nine generations.

Therefore, the best path available now was to follow Chen Yuan to the end.

To think of treason?

That would be courting death!

Even they were unclear just how many informants Chen Yuan had in Tangshan, and although it seemed he had delegated power, he was indeed keeping a very close watch, aside from reporting major and minor matters to Lady Xu.

Chen Yuan’s former personal guards, Yue Shan, Yan Qing, Mo Donghe, and others, each controlled a considerable force.

What was most terrifying was Qingzhou City’s indifference to these matters, even helping with the cover-up; this was not something a single Golden Envoy could accomplish!

Privately, they felt that perhaps Chen Yuan’s influence had reached every aspect of Qingzhou City.

Though far away in the Capital, he was controlling everything.

"Yes, your subordinate obeys," they chorused.

"Your subordinate obeys."

"Hmm, I’ve heard..."

Just as Lady Xu was about to say something, suddenly, an invisible force enveloped the entire hall. The people inside were startled and shouted sternly, "Who dares spy on..."

"It’s me!"

The voice of Chen Yuan resonated in everyone’s ears.

"My lord!"

"My lord!"

Han Yu and the others were suddenly shocked and then their faces were filled with joy.

"Husband..."

Lady Xu abruptly stood up.

Subsequently, the figure of Chen Yuan gradually revealed himself before them.

Cloaked in black robes, his presence was formidable!

"Your subordinate greets my lord, warmly welcoming the lord’s return!"

"Your subordinate greets my lord, warmly welcoming the lord’s return!"

"Your subordinate greets my lord, warmly welcoming the lord’s return!"

"Your servant greets my lord."

"Your servant greets my lord...."

Upon making an appearance, everyone immediately bowed in salute.

"Stand up."

Chen Yuan scanned his eyes around the circle, gave a slight nod, and then turned to take a seat. freewebnoveℓ.com

An invisible force instantly lifted those who were bowing to greet him.
