Chapter 359: Chapter 325 Qi Fortune Manifestation (Extra for Duke Hei) _2 Chapter 359: Chapter 325 Qi Fortune Manifestation (Extra for Duke Hei) _2 Within Tangshan Prefecture, atop a certain high-rise, Song Jingang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the man in black before the city gate with slightly squinted eyes—this was the first time he had seen Chen Yuan’s true face.

At first glance, he truly did not seem like a young man, exceptionally composed; in terms of aura, he was not the least bit inferior to himself.

He stared at Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan seemed to sense it, tilting his head to look in Song Jingang’s direction.

Separated by thousands of meters, the two men looked at each other across the distance.

The atmosphere seemed to abruptly become tense.

Chen Yuan lifted his right hand and extended one finger, pointing in Song Jingang’s direction twice, the corners of his mouth curving into a slight smile, his gaze fixed and intense.

Song Jingang, with a grave expression, withdrew his gaze and muttered in a low voice,

“Arrogant and seeking death!”

“My lord, should we teach this man a lesson?”

A Heavenly Patrol Envoy whispered to Song Jingang.

“Teach him a lesson? This man is a powerhouse of the Reach Profound Realm. Who will teach him a lesson? From the sharpness he showed in Lushui County, anyone who dared to show arrogance in front of him has been killed without exception.

Apart from myself in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, who is his match?” Song Jingang said expressionlessly.

The Heavenly Patrol Envoy was taken aback, nodding obsequiously, not daring to speak further.

He feared that if he said one more word, Song Jingang would send him to confront Chen Yuan, which would be akin to seeking death.

“Well then, return to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau to prepare a feast to welcome this Chen Qing Envoy and clean the dust of his journey. Also, send someone to notify Shen Yongzhi that his enemy has arrived and tell him to come and ‘greet’ him.”

“Yes, this subordinate will go and make the arrangements immediately.”

The Heavenly Patrol Envoy nodded repeatedly.

After sensing that the prying gaze had disappeared without a trace, Chen Yuan also withdrew his gaze and, looking at the two Heavenly Patrol Envoys in front of him, said indifferently,

“Lead the way.”

“Yes.”

“Yes…”

One of the Heavenly Patrol Envoys sheathed his Yan Ling Saber and, turning around with a single wave of his hand, solemnly declared,

“Welcome Qing Envoy Lord enter the city!”

“Shua shua shua!”

The sounds of swords being sheathed echoed as over a hundred Heavenly Patrol Guards turned and led the way in front, while the nearby commoners watched the scene in silence, their faces showing respect.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Yuan nudged his horse gently, and it started to move slowly. Yue Shan and the others followed solemnly behind him, their hands resting on the hilts of their swords, ready for any sudden attacks.

Meanwhile, the news of his entry into the city had already begun to spread rapidly within Tangshan Prefecture City, with countless eyes now fixed on him.

Having caused an uproar in Lushui County the day before to declare his arrival, everyone in Tangshan Prefecture knew that Chen Yuan was taking up the post of Heavenly Patrol Qing Envoy, and they also understood that his arrival boded ill.

Everyone was watching Song Jingang’s reaction.

As Tangshan Qing Envoy, Song Jingang’s power was unmatched, and over the years, he had spread his influence throughout all of Tangshan. How could he possibly be content after being ousted from his position as Qing Envoy without any resistance?

And Chen Yuan, a young and distinguished figure, ranked near the top of the Hidden Dragon List, was known for his reckless and resolute manner of killing. The clash of these two men was, in many people’s eyes, something worth savoring.

As for the stir within Tangshan Prefecture, Chen Yuan was well aware of it. He had chosen to create chaos in Lushui County precisely for this reason. Let it be chaotic, let it be shaken…

Only by becoming completely chaotic could it truly meet his expectations.

Clean water was strewn in the streets, yellow earth laid out for the roads.

It had to be said that Song Jingang’s reception for Chen Yuan was indeed grand, almost as if it were prepared for a great official sent to govern the borders; however, the grander it was,

the more Chen Yuan could feel the intense murderous intent Song Jingang harbored toward him.

This was a setup to kill with kindness!

Lifting him up high, lowering his own stature, he presented the appearance of seeking good relations. If Chen Yuan were to die in Tangshan Prefecture in the future, Song Jingang could absolve himself of some guilt.

But these tricks were too childish. Chen Yuan accepted all with a calm demeanor and an unfazed spirit.

After traversing several streets, Chen Yuan finally arrived at the entrance of the Tangshan Heavenly Patrol Bureau. A middle-aged man dressed in Qing Envoy official attire, along with many others, watched Chen Yuan with a smile brimming with good humor.

At a glance, Chen Yuan recognized the man as the one who had spied on him at the city gate—Tangshan Qing Envoy, Song Jingang!

Unfortunately, he did not possess Qi Fortune, disappointing Chen Yuan once more.

“Is the visitor the famed Chen Yuan from Qingzhou, who ranks highly on the Hidden Dragon List, Chen Qing Envoy?” Song Jingang laughed heartily, taking a few steps forward.

Chen Yuan looked at him directly and responded with a smile,

“Indeed, it is I.”

“Truly a young and outstanding figure,” Song Jingang exclaimed with admiration.

Chen Yuan dismounted from his horse, followed by Yue Shan and others who did the same.

Approaching them, Song Jingang’s face betrayed not a trace of dissatisfaction, as if he had been waiting for Chen Yuan for some time. He smiled and said,

“A banquet has already been prepared inside the Heavenly Patrol Hall. Would Duke Chen please step inside?”

After he spoke, he extended his hand, ready to turn and leave. The nearby Heavenly Patrol Guards and Heavenly Patrol Envoys began to follow his lead, but Chen Yuan seemed rooted to the spot.

He did not move an inch.

Song Jingang frowned imperceptibly and turning back, asked Chen Yuan,

“Duke Chen?”

Chen Yuan gave him a glance, his gaze sweeping over the nearby Heavenly Patrol Guards. Yue Shan, understanding, took out a token and an official appointment from his bosom and handed them to Chen Yuan.

“By the authority of Jiang He, the Golden Envoy of Qingzhou, upon my arrival in Tangshan Prefecture, it will be the official day of my assumption of office as the Tangshan Qing Envoy. Will you not come forward to pay your respects to me?”

Chen Yuan, holding the Golden Envoy’s token and the official appointment in his right hand, called out to the crowd sternly.

The previously warm atmosphere instantly froze over, as if someone had doused it with cold water. The surrounding Heavenly Patrol Guards and Envoys looked at each other,

uncertain of what to do.

After all, Song Jingang was still here!

Without his command, who would dare to act rashly?

With an indifferent gaze, Chen Yuan let the Heavenly Patrol Guards remain silent and then looked at Song Jingang with a faint smile in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Song Jingang’s mood darkened, then quickly brightened as he rebuked,

“With the official appointment here, why do you not hurry to pay your respects to the Qing Envoy?”

With his command, the people around finally dared to move and immediately bowed in unison,

“I pay my respects to the Qing Envoy.”

“I pay my respects to the Qing Envoy.”

After it was said several times, Chen Yuan handed the appointment over to Yue Shan, stepped forward, and said to Song Jingang,

“This banquet is not only to welcome me but also to bid farewell to Envoy Song. Let’s go.”

Having said that, Chen Yuan immediately took the lead, striding into the Heavenly Patrol Bureau as if he were entering his own home.

Song Jingang, rooted in place with a slightly darkened expression, cast a deep look at Chen Yuan’s retreating figure and quickly followed.

Based on Chen Yuan’s several visits to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, it seemed that the layouts within the Great Jin Dynasty were quite similar, thus he was familiar with it and took the lead, guiding them from his own experience.

Upon entering the Heavenly Patrol Hall, Chen Yuan unhesitatingly took the seat that Song Jingang had previously occupied and sat down squarely, saying to the newcomers,

“Please, gentlemen, there’s no need for formality. Just take your seats.”

Song Jingang forced a smile and nodded, taking the seat to Chen Yuan’s left, while several other Heavenly Patrol Envoys also took their seats one by one.

Yue Shan and the others sat to the right.

The table was laden with food and wine, but Chen Yuan didn’t touch any of it—who knew if it was tampered with?

However, Song Jingang did drink a few cups of wine and looked at Chen Yuan, saying,

“Envoy Chen, you must be weary from your journey.”

“To plead for the people, what’s wearisome about that? I had long heard that Tangshan Prefecture had become quite a mess, but it wasn’t until yesterday in Lushui County that I truly realized it,” Chen Yuan said softly.

“Duke Chen shouldn’t generalize from one example. The situation in Lushui County… perhaps there’s more than meets the eye.”

“Oh? What would you like to say, Envoy Song?”

“What Envoy Song means to say is that your handling of yesterday’s matter was somewhat one-sided. When did Tangshan become such a mess? As everyone knows, Tangshan Prefecture is considered civilized within Qingzhou, long celebrated for its propriety,” said a rough voice suddenly from beyond the hall.

Chen Yuan’s gaze sharpened, and he instinctively activated his Heavenly Eye, then…

he saw a startling streak of green light.

The Son of Qi Fortune had arrived!
