Chapter 1861 Princess Yun Yang
Chapter 1861 Princess Yun Yang
With just one glance, Chu Yunfan felt a chill run down his spine as if he had fallen into an ice cave. It was as if he was being stared at by an ancient vicious beast.
Although he was prepared, he realized how powerful and terrifying this Luck Dragon was after being looked at. Not to mention a Creator, even an expert who had surpassed the Creation Stage was probably not a match for this Luck Dragon.
Fortunately, Chu Yunfan already had an official position, and his body was tainted with the aura of Grand Xia, so he would not be targeted. If it were some evil cultivators, they would probably be killed by a glance.
After he was no longer targeted by the Luck Dragon and the Imperial Capital's barrier, Chu Yunfan's goosebumps finally disappeared. However, he soon realized that there were too many experts hiding in the Imperial Capital.
It was impossible for ordinary people to sense it, but Chu Yunfan was not an ordinary person. He could easily sense how many terrifying experts were hiding among them.
In fact, it was even stronger than what he had sensed in the Flying Celestials.
The Grand Xia Imperial Court was indeed the strongest power in the world. There were countless experts among them, and even the ten great sects had to submit to the Grand Xia Imperial Court and be used by them. Even the number one sect in the world, the Destiny Sect, was inferior to the Imperial Court of Grand Xia.
Chu Yunfan was wearing the Great General of the Faraway Army seal. Soon, the soldiers of the Grand Commandant's Office led him through half of Grand Xia and arrived at the core area of Grand Xia, the Imperial Capital.
As the grand commandant was one of the three supreme dukes in the world, his office was in the Imperial Capital. However, the people who came and went were all soldiers from all over the world, and there was a somber atmosphere. Chu Yunfan could sense that there was an extremely terrifying expert hidden in the Grand Commandant's Office. This person didn't even hide their powerful aura to intimidate the small fries.
After Chu Yunfan revealed his identity, he was quickly led into the Grand Commandant's Office and began his first debriefing. Contrary to Chu Yunfan's expectations, it wasn't too difficult. The two subordinates of the Grand Commandant's Office simply asked him about some matters during his term of office and his views on the defense of Baotai and other areas. There were also questions about the experts that Chu Yunfan had encountered during the past year.
It was basically a routine inquiry, just a formality as the real investigation had begun a long time ago. According to the usual practice of the Grand Commandant's Office, there was probably a thick stack of files about Chu Yunfan.
In particular, the two promotions of Chu Yunfan were definitely not just a matter of a single sentence from the grand commandant. It also involved the research of various materials and the assessment of loyalty to the Imperial Court.
All of this had been done long ago. After confirming that Chu Yunfan was fine, he was asked to come and report on his work. Therefore, all of this was just a formality.
After the debriefing, Chu Yunfan was informed that due to his recent performance and the repeated meritorious service of the army, the size of the army had been expanded from the original 10,000 to 50,000. His defense area had also expanded from Baotai and the area around the town to a defense area of 5,000 miles from Baotai, making his title of general truly worthy of its name.
Chu Yunfan did not get to meet the grand commandant. However, this was normal. The grand commandant held the power of the army. He was surely an extremely busy man. Chu Yunfan's rank was not high enough for him to summon the grand commandant.
After leaving the Grand Commandant's Office, Chu Yunfan went to the Flying Celestials' outpost in the Imperial Capital. It was a manor with beautiful mountains and clear waters outside the Imperial Capital. Though it was outside the Imperial Capital, with the current business environment of the Imperial Capital, the value of this vast manor was immeasurable. The Flying Celestials's foundation was evident.
As one of the six grand true disciples of the Flying Celestials, Chu Yunfan naturally had special treatment. He had a small courtyard in the manor to himself.
The Flying Celestial Garden was a common place for Flying Celestial disciples to stay after arriving in the Imperial Capital. Almost all the other large sects had similar residences in the Imperial Capital. This made it convenient for disciples to stay in the Imperial Capital.
In fact, this was not only in the Imperial Capital. A behemoth like the Flying Celestials had a station in almost every city so that the sect's disciples could easily stay. It was just that the scale was different.
Chu Yunfan was not in a hurry to return to Baotai. He also wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about Tang Siyu's whereabouts. As soon as he settled down, a disciple of the Flying Celestials came to report that someone had sent him an invitation.
"There will be a garden party tomorrow." Chu Yunfan looked at the invitation card.
It was an invitation to attend a garden party. It was nothing much, but when he saw that the signature was by Princess Yun Yang, he asked the person in charge of the Flying Celestial Garden to find information about this princess. This was one of the main duties of the Flying Celestials' outposts in various places.
lightsΝοvel Soon, all kinds of information about Princess Yun Yang was sent to Chu Yunfan, and he figured out the background of Princess Yun Yang. Currently, the Emperor of Grand Xia had many princes and princesses, and most of them were already adults. Therefore, the competition for the throne was especially intense.
However, unlike Great Wei, in Grand Xia, not only the princes would participate in the fight for the throne, but even the princesses were no exception. Since ancient times, there had been many ambitious princesses who participated in the fight for the throne.
The king of Grand Xia didn't mind, and there were rumors that the position of the king of Grand Xia would be occupied by the capable. This had stimulated many princesses to participate in the fight for the throne.
Especially now that the emperor of Grand Xia had many children but did not appoint an official heir, it was obvious that he was encouraging these princes and princesses to show their abilities and choose the strongest one to inherit the throne.
Therefore, many princes and princesses joined the fight for the throne. Some joined the army, some entered politics, and cultivated their forces in all aspects. Among them, there were a few princes and princesses who had the loudest voices, including Princess Yun Yang.
Princess Yun Yang was the twelfth daughter of the current king. She had a noble status and her mother was an imperial consort. She had shown outstanding martial talent since she was young. Among the many princes and princesses, she was one of the best. After becoming an adult, she joined the fight for the throne. In Grand Xia, she also had a large number of followers and admirers.
