Jiang Yun strode into a large hall with his head held high. He cupped his fists and saluted Yan Tianqi, who was sitting above him. He said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "In the first level of heaven, General Fan Xiao, the central commander, pays homage to General Yan Tianqi!"
Yan Tianqi raised his eyebrows, and an unexpected smile appeared on his elegant face: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I didn't expect that you have been promoted to a general. What a joy and congratulation!"
"It's just that General Fan has just taken office and is not familiar with affairs in his own jurisdiction. How can he come to this general in his spare time?"
"You can't. General Fan came here specifically to tell me this good news, right?"
Jiang Yun also smiled and said: "To be honest, I am here today to seek help from Lord Yan!"
"Ask me for help?"
Yan Tianqi looked puzzled and said: "General Fan Pian belongs to the First Heaven. If you have any difficulties, you should ask General Mo Ze for help!"
Jiang Yun sighed and said: "Lord Yan, you don't know something. In the past, I was just an ordinary guard. I was not well-known and was not good at sociability. I have not made friends with anyone for so many years in Tianwaitian."
"Only many years ago, I participated in a hunt, where I lived and died with some guards. We became friends in times of need."
"Master Yan should have already thought of the thirty-eight people who pleaded for me during the competition."
"Now that I have become a partial general, I have no useful men under my command, so Lord Tianshuai specially passed down an oral order and asked me to transfer these thirty-eight people into my command."
"Coincidentally, two of them belong to Lord Yan's subordinates."
"Therefore, today I am deliberately daring to come here to ask Master Yan for help."
"I also hope that Master Yan can part with me and allow me to take away the two guards."
After listening to Jiang Yun's explanation, Yan Tianqi nodded with a smile and said, "I take it as a big deal. It's not difficult."
"What's more, you still have Master Tianshuai's oral instructions, so naturally I should let you go."
"It's just that the number of guards for each level of general and each area in our Tianwaitian has specific regulations."
"If you recruit one or two people to be your confidants, it won't be a big problem."
"But you asked for thirty-eight people at once. This is a bit against the rules!"
Jiang Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Yan, you don't know something. Even if we get these thirty-eight people, I still have more than a hundred vacancies under my command!"
"If your lord is willing to send me a few more guards, I would be even more grateful."
"More than a hundred places are vacant?" Yan Tianqi couldn't help but frowned and said, "What about the more than a hundred guards before? Did they all run away?"
"No!" Jiang Yun shook his head and said lightly: "Killed by me!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Tianqi's eyes suddenly burst into light, and a powerful pressure erupted from his body, covering Jiang Yun's body.
But Jiang Yun seemed not to notice, and continued: "During the competition, Lord Yan saw clearly that I only gained the position of general after defeating Lu Wenlin."
"But Lu Wenlin's subordinates were very dissatisfied with me. Not only did they unite and refuse to obey my orders, but they also tried to kill me, so I had no choice but to kill them."
"It is precisely because of this that I have more than 200 guard vacancies here, so I am looking for other important generals everywhere."
"No, I'm going to Master Yan now!"
As Jiang Yun finished speaking, Yan Tianqi suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Haha, on the first day he took office, he actually killed more than two hundred of his guards!"
"General Fan Pian, you are so courageous and generous!"
"It is said that there are three things that a new official should do when he takes office. Fan Pianjiang made the first fire very vigorous!"
"Even I am ashamed of myself."
"Just for this point, I'll let you take away the two guards Fan Pian wants!"
Jiang Yun cupped his fists and saluted Yan Tianqi and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Yan!"
Yan Tianqi waved his hand and said, "Fan Pianjiang said something serious!"
Jiang Yun said again: "Master Yan, I have taken office as a new official and there are still many things to deal with, so I won't disturb Master Yan's time."
"After I'm done with my work, I'll come back to visit you another day, and then I'll thank you properly, Mr. Yan!"
"No rush!" Yan Tianqi smiled slightly and said: "During the competition, General Fan's performance was so amazing that I was very curious about General Fan's origins, so I asked about him privately."
"As General Fan said just now, not only did you have a low reputation in the past, but you were also often bullied by your peers and superiors."
"Why all of a sudden, not only did my strength improve so much, but my personality also changed greatly. It felt like a different person to me."
"I don't know, General Fan, can you explain to me what's going on?"
A look of hesitation gradually appeared on Jiang Yun's face. He was silent for a moment before he said, "If someone else asked me, I would never tell them. This is my secret."
"But since Lord Yan has spoken, I don't dare to hide it."
"It's just that Mr. Yan only needs to know about this matter himself, and he must never tell anyone else."
Jiang Yun's answer made Yan Tianqi narrow his eyes and thought to himself: "With this person's mind, it is impossible not to hear the true meaning of my words."
"But it looks like he is really ready to tell me his secret?"
Yan Tianqi nodded slowly and said, "General Fan can rest assured, I am not a talkative person."
Jiang Yun nodded and changed his voice to say: "To be honest, Mr. Yan, I used to be extremely mediocre, but many years ago, I accidentally obtained a fortune."
"I was fortunate enough to meet a great emperor who not only secretly guided my practice, but also provided me with everything I needed as much as possible, which allowed me to gradually reach my current position!"
Two rays of cold light suddenly shot out from Yan Tianqi's narrowed eyes!
Yan Tianqi didn't know whether Jiang Yun heard the meaning of his words, but he did hear the meaning of Jiang Yun's words!
This also made him finally understand why Emperor Zun wanted him to kill Jiang Yun at all costs.
Obviously, Jiang Yun knew about his collusion with Emperor Zun!
At this moment, Yan Tianqi had murderous intent in his heart, and even secretly raised his hand, preparing to take action.
However, Jiang Yun continued: "Master Yan, although several people besides you know this secret, I still hope that you can keep it secret for me."
Yan Tianqi slowly lowered his raised hand, the cold light in his eyes also subsided, and said with a faint smile: "This is not a big secret, right?"
"I have heard many people talking about the kind of fate that General Fan encountered, but I don't know whether it is true or not."
"After all, this kind of thing is mysterious and mysterious, and there is no evidence."
Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said: "Not only is it evidence, I even have witnesses who witnessed it with my own eyes."
"It's just that this matter is a long story. If I have a chance next time, I will talk about it in detail with Master Yan."
"Okay!" Jiang Yun clasped his fists at Yan Tianqi again and said, "I had a great time chatting with Mr. Yan today, but I still have official duties to attend to, so I'm leaving now!"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yun didn't even wait for Yan Tianqi's response, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Looking at Jiang Yun's back, Yan Tianqi's mind flashed with thoughts, and he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Jiang Yun.
Although Yan Tianqi believed that if Jiang Yun dared to come to see him alone, he must have arranged a back-up plan, but no matter what the back-up plan was, as long as he caught the other party first and then searched for his soul, he would be able to solve all the trouble.
Although Jiang Yun had his back to Yan Tianqi, he had long been prepared for Yan Tianqi to take action against him.
Therefore, when he turned to leave, he had quietly held the stone that Gu San gave him.
However, Jiang Yun was not in a hurry to crush the stone.
He is waiting to see if anyone will save him at the critical moment!
Seeing that Yan Tianqi's palm came to Jiang Yun's back in an instant, the sound of wind caused by the palm formed a storm and filled the hall.
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly sounded, and the expressions of Jiang Yun and Yan Tianqi both changed!
