I have an altar of luck

He has been in the officialdom for decades, so he can see some things clearly.

Raising his head, Tao Qingyuan smiled and said:

"It's an acquaintance, but now the lord is the commander, and Tao is a subordinate, so we should meet."

"Sit first."

Chen Yuan pointed to the seat beside him, and then directed to the patrol angel below:

"I came here in a hurry today, and you don't know the news. I don't blame you, I will go back and continue to be on duty. However, after the on-duty is over, please inform me that all officials above the patrol angel of the East Imperial City Division will not let anyone To ask for leave, you must come here before the three quarters of the hour, if you violate it, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

His gaze was slightly cold, resounding in everyone's ears.

To be honest, he really wanted to see if anyone dared to trip him up. Although this kind of thing was old-fashioned, it happened frequently, if anyone dared.

Then don't blame him for taking office three times!

Of course, others would say that he is too domineering. He didn't stipulate that he must come today, but wait until tomorrow. If there are still various things to evade, then he can't be blamed.

"Yes, I obey."

"Honestly obey orders."

"Okay, let's go back first."

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Retire from humble office."

"Retire from humble office."

In the twinkling of an eye, only Tao Qingyuan and Chen Yuan were left in the conference hall. He stood up and slowly came to Tao Qingyuan, cupping his hands solemnly and saying:

"Master Tao, long time no see!"

Tao Qingyuan immediately panicked at this gesture, and quickly stood up, ready to help Chen Yuan up, muttering:

"Master Chen can't."

But just when he wanted to get up, he was firmly held in place by a powerful aura. Chen Yuan let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"It was Mr. Chen who visited Sir in his previous capacity just now. Mr. Tao, there is no need to panic."

Before, he had been sitting at the top because there were outsiders around, so he had to maintain his majesty until the outsiders left, because Tao Qingyuan had helped him many times before.

Worth worshiping.

"You...why bother."

Tao Qingyuan said softly.

"No matter what, Mr. Tao has taken good care of Chen before, and this kindness has always been kept in Chen's heart. Now that you and I work together according to today's will, I should pay my respects."

"Now that you are the commander, you must not bow down to one of my subordinates."

"It is the commander, and he is also the subordinate brought out by Mr. Tao before. In front of outsiders, he should have the official authority of the commander, but now there are only you and me,

If Mr. Chen is still high above, doesn't it mean that Mr. Tao once misjudged the person. "

Tao Qingyuan remained silent for a long time before saying:

"If you don't give up, don't say anything else in the future, just calling me Brother Tao is enough."

Chen Yuan can clarify his identity, Tao Qingyuan has been in the officialdom for many years, how can he not?

After all, the previous things are already in the past, and now they all have their own identities, if they keep mentioning any kindness, it will inevitably mean to repay the kindness.

He is very clear about the truth that great kindness is great hatred, so he doesn't expect Chen Yuan to repay him. If he has a conscience, he will take care of him in the future. If he doesn't mention it...

Chen Yuan smiled, nodded and said:

"Brother Tao."

"Commander Chen."

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled, and hearty laughter spread throughout the hall.

Then, on the first day of taking office, Chen Yuan took Tao Qingyuan to a nearby restaurant, found a good private room, ordered a table of wine and food, and began to reminisce about the past.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chen Yuan asked how Tao Qingyuan was doing.

Tao Qingyuan drank the wine in his mouth, smiled bitterly and said:

"To be honest, being on duty in the capital is better than being in Nanling Mansion in every way, but there is one thing that is not good."

"Where?"

"Power!"

In Tangshan Mansion, he was the youth envoy of the whole prefecture, which was almost equivalent to suppressing one side. Although there were many Jianghu warriors making troubles, he was very carefree at that time.

No need to look at anyone's face.

But it was different after coming to the capital. It seemed to be better than Nanling here, but he was restrained everywhere. He was a mere basalt master, and he couldn't make any waves here.

Just hit it down with a hammer, and you can hit a few officials of the fifth and sixth ranks.

And many people have extraordinary backgrounds, even if they are lower than his official position, they are not afraid of him at all, but he has nothing to do, it is really a bit aggrieved.

He even told Chen Yuan that he had some thoughts of returning to Qingzhou.

It's a pity that he, a basalt master of the lower three realms, doesn't have that much power to move around. If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't be restrained everywhere in the capital.

Chen Yuan remained silent. This is indeed a problem. He is actually not very interested in working in the capital. In Tangshan and Qingzhou, he has subordinates and backgrounds.

Although he can't be called a local emperor, at least no one dares to provoke him rashly!

But what about in Beijing?

People with strong backgrounds are everywhere, even if he has a lot of background, but there are not all people who are stronger than him, it is really not as comfortable as Qingzhou.

It's a pity that the trip to the capital is related to the plan of the Taoist Palace, and he was summoned by the emperor's imperial decree. Unless he directly abandons his official position and refuses to do it, it will be a serious crime of disrespecting the decree.

After a long time, he took a sip of wine and asked:

"Aren't you also supported by chapters?"

Unexpectedly, Tao Qingyuan shook his head and smiled, and said:

"A basalt master like me who doesn't have much potential can see the upper limit at a glance. There is no hope of being a master in this life, and he is only a marginal figure in the Zhang family.

Before reaching the Grandmaster, he was not considered a prominent figure in the capital. Even after arriving in the capital, the envoy of Zhang Yantongzhang only took time to meet me once when I visited for the first time. Even if it is over, now, I am afraid that Zhang Shenshi has forgotten that I am such a number one person. "

Hearing these words from him, Chen Yuan also sighed a little. Compared to him, Zhang Yantong was indeed a watcher. He not only made a special trip to take him to a family banquet, introduced him to the emperor, but also gave him advice. many things.

It is simply not the same person as Tao Qingyuan said.

And this is all valued by his talent and strength!

In terms of friendship, isn't Tao Qingyuan, who has been protecting Zhang Xuan in Tangshan for more than a year, even deeper?

But if you think about it carefully, isn't this reality?

You are valuable, so others will value you. There is no unreasonable show of favor in this world, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Zhang Yantong.

Because there is nothing wrong with it, a Xuanwu master is really not worthy of being looked at by a dignified third-rank official, besides, Tao Qingyuan is not too young.

The potential is almost exhausted, and it is not worth cultivating.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yuan didn't want to talk too much about this topic. Zhang Yantong did treat Tao Qingyuan equally, but he still treated him very well.

This love should be remembered...

Besides, Tao Qingyuan backed him back then, wasn't it because of his extraordinary potential?

This is human nature.

"How is brother Tao's injury?" He changed the subject.

Hearing this sentence, Tao Qingyuan finally showed some joy, and told Chen Yuan that his injuries had basically healed, and after this incident, he was about to break through the Heavenly Palace.

It was a blessing in disguise.

Chen Yuan congratulated him a few words, and talked about his past in Nanling Mansion.

While talking, Tao Qingyuan suddenly wanted Chen Yuan to talk about what happened after their separation, although he had heard some rumors about these things more or less.

But which party said it more accurately?

In the future, it can also be used as a talking point on the wine table.

Naturally, Chen Yuan would not refuse, and with a light smile, he told Tao Qingyuan everything he experienced later, except for some secret places.

With little to hide,

When he heard that Chen Yuan killed Gu Hao and was intercepted by his master, he raised his heart for Chen Yuan. Later, Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief after he appeared to kill everyone.

The expression on his face was already a little drunk under the urging of the spirit wine, and he couldn't help sighing:

"Wonderful, really wonderful, even more exciting than Jianghu storytellers. The world of geniuses like you is indeed completely different from ours."

The chatting and joking didn't stop until it was dark.

And Tao Qingyuan was already drunk under the strong force of the spirit wine. Of course, this was because he wanted to get drunk. After coming to the capital, meeting Chen Yuan today was the most comfortable day for him.

He didn't want to use his true energy to volatilize the alcohol.

After Chen Yuan drank a cup of tea and asked where he lived, he helped Tao Qingyuan back to his home. This is a nice house not far from the imperial city.

It is a place where every inch of land is expensive.

Obviously, even though Tao Qingyuan had many unsatisfactory things, but in comparison, how many people in the world can live better than him?

Tao Qingyuan's family were all in the capital, and Chen Yuan met him personally this time. After hearing his name, the other party seemed to know who he was, and their tone became very respectful.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan didn't stay long, so as not to be uncomfortable, put down some spirit tea as a greeting gift, and then left Tao Mansion alone.

This time, he did not return to the inn where he lived before, but stayed in the Eastern Imperial City Division. There is a backyard where people can live here. If he is alone, there seems to be no need to find anything residence.

When he was in Tangshan before, he lived in Xuntiansi.

That night, Chen Yuan rarely fell asleep.

Tao Qingyuan was very happy to see Chen Yuan, and he was also very happy to see Tao Qingyuan, an old man. Anyway, it was one of the four great joys in life.

The faint smell of alcohol mixed with drowsiness made Chen Yuan fall into a deep sleep. He didn't wake up until the first ray of sunlight shone on his eyes the next day.

……

……

After waking up, Chen Yuan washed up a little, and then started to meditate every day. It's okay to take a rest occasionally, but most of the time should be devoted to practice.

Although the sun had risen, it was still very early for the three quarters of the hour that he set.

And his main duty is to take good care of the Eastern Imperial City Division, and the duties of those patrolling guards have nothing to do with him.

After meditating, it took an hour. Chen Yuan opened his eyes, jumped up from the futon, exercised his muscles and bones a little, and someone brought him a breakfast.

After eating, he put on his official robes with a calm expression, and walked slowly towards the main meeting hall.

When Chen Yuan arrived, it was nearly three quarters of the hour, and there were almost twenty figures standing in the conference hall, led by three deputy leaders of the fifth rank.

The rest of the dozen or so people are patrolling angels with Ning Gang cultivation base. When they saw Chen Yuan coming in, they all bowed and said:

"I have seen adults in my humble position!"

"I have seen adults in my humble position!"

"I have seen adults in my humble position!"

Chen Yuan's indifferent eyes looked around everyone one by one, and did not stop at anyone, even Tao Qingyuan was no exception.

They were old acquaintances at the wine table yesterday, but today he is everyone's immediate boss!

"Is... all here?"

Chen Yuan looked at everyone knowingly.

"My lord, only Vice Commander Yang has not arrived yet, and everyone else has arrived." Tao Qingyuan took a step forward, with a very upright posture, without any embarrassment or other expressions.

Here, he is a deputy commander under Chen Yuan.

Seeing Tao Qingyuan approaching, the other two deputy commanders looked at each other and remained silent.

"Have you been notified?"

"My lord, I have already sent someone to the Yang Mansion to notify you." Wang Teng said hastily.
