In addition to not sleeping much at night, Chen Jianzhang's refusal to give the frigate made him feel again his status in the family.
Well, if it were the eldest brother Chen Feng who asked this question, ten of them would immediately agree, let alone one frigate.
Even the second sister Chen Jing will give her whatever she wants.
What about yourself?
I’ve been begging my dad to sue my grandma for so many days, but the old man actually said hehe!
Of course, he may indeed think that there is no danger in Dawang Port.
But the fact that there is no danger today does not mean that there will be no danger in the future. Besides...
I'm waiting for this frigate to conquer the sea of stars.
The dream was shattered, and I could only watch helplessly as this guy Ji Xiaofei stole the show.
Yes, today's interstellar Internet is full of flattering articles about General Ji's victory, General Ji's might, and General Ji's invincibility.
There are countless licking dogs out there shouting that I love General Ji!
Damn, have you figured out whether he is a boy or a girl?
The rescue ship arrived before 12 noon, and the Tieyun's power cabin was repaired before evening.
Ji Xiaofei kept his word and added this paragraph in his report to the Military Headquarters. He said that it was of great help to him, thanked Chen Yan for his full cooperation, and requested the Military Headquarters to reward him.
The telegram was sent in clear code, and Chen Yan had already seen it before arriving at the military headquarters.
At this point, he felt a little happier.
This is indeed the first time he has won military honors since he was so old, if there is such a thing.
Although it may only be a small commendation order, it is enough to add a lot of color to his gloomy sixteen years of life.
At night, Chen Yan took a nap and then headed to Dawang City on time.
The city lord's hall was empty, and it was quiet outside.
The air seemed to smell fresher than before, with a faint floral fragrance.
Looking up, there was a vase placed on the dragon table. In the vase were several osmanthus branches that had just been picked from the tree.
It turns out that it’s already August, the time when the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant.
"Long live the Lord of the City, long live, long live..." Chen Yunniang's soft voice came from behind.
Chen Yan turned around and saw her leading a group of female officials kneeling at the door of the side hall. Apparently they had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Get up." Chen Yan waved his hand and walked outside.
He wanted to see the situation in the city and see the living conditions of the old, weak, women and children after the young and strong laborers left.
There are obviously fewer people on the street, but it is cleaner and more orderly.
Some shops along the street are closed, but most are still open, but the bosses have been replaced by middle-aged women or young wives.
There was no sadness on their faces. After all, their husbands and sons were going to build a branch city, not fight a war.
The short separation is for a better tomorrow. Chen Yunniang must have instilled this truth into them, otherwise they would not be so calm now.
For the citizens, Chen Yan never asked them to do any big salutes, he just nodded his head in greeting.
Of course, if you want to spit, that's okay.
Fortunately, no one did this until I walked three streets.
Arriving in front of the Hall of Heroes, Chen Yan turned back and glanced at Chen Yunniang. She quickly said: "No outsiders have entered the city in the past ten days."
oh……
Chen Yan nodded slightly and retracted his hand from pushing the door.
"But a few days ago, a book appeared on the top of the Heavenly King Tower. The shining golden light was really eye-catching. I wanted someone to try to take it down, but I couldn't see it but couldn't touch it, so..."
Whoosh!
Chen Yan turned around and walked towards the Heavenly King Tower, and at the same time said sternly: "In the future, you must tell me this kind of thing as soon as possible. Don't wait until now to talk about it."
"I was wrong...I will never dare to do it again..." Chen Yunniang panicked and her steps became staggering.
Chen Yan suddenly realized that she had small feet, and she might be injured if she couldn't catch up and fell, so he waved his hand and said: "Just walk slowly, and you don't have to follow me. Go to the city lord's hall and I'll call you if you need anything." .”
"Yes..." Chen Yunniang's eyes turned red.
She was not moved, but thought that Chen Yan was chasing her away, so she lowered her head, sniffed and headed towards the city main hall.
Before we reached the Tower of Heavenly King, we saw a golden light from the top of the tower shooting into the sky from a distance.
There is a "book" floating up and down in the golden light.
Looking closer, it is indeed a book, with three large golden characters written on the cover - Tianwang Fu!
At this moment, there is still smoke curling up inside the Tower of Heavenly King.
However, the number of pilgrims was much smaller than before, and they were basically old men and women.
Seeing the Lord of the City arriving, they all came out to worship him. Chen Yan quickly helped them up one by one, then pointed to the top of the tower and said, "Can no one take it down?"
"If I go back to the city lord, no one will get it."
"Lord City Lord, when I paid homage to a heavenly king yesterday, I vaguely heard him saying that you had to do it yourself to take it off."
"Oh?" Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at the Tianwang Fu again, then raised his right hand, and as soon as he spread his fingers, the book fell down.
It fell to the ground as lightly as a feather, landing in Chen Yan's palm without making any sound.
Seeing this, the pilgrims bowed their heads and worshiped again, thinking that a miracle had occurred.
At this time, Chen Yan already understood what it was.
This is the product of incense and the crystallization of faith.
When the gods in the King's Tower absorb the incense to a certain extent, they will give feedback.
Of course, the target is only the city owner.
What is its function?
That’s all in three words – cheating the general!
Yes, as long as this Heavenly King's Gift is given to any divine general who can enter the void, he will definitely come to the Great King's City and go to the Heavenly King's Tower to observe the statues of gods according to the Heavenly King's Gift.
Then……
Chen Yan laughed, put away the Heavenly King Gift, and bowed to the Heavenly King Tower, "Thank you, Heavenly Kings, you... are really good at playing."
Returning to the main hall of the city, Chen Yan saw that the sand table had been pushed to the middle position. Chen Yunniang and the female officials were kneeling aside. When they heard the footsteps, they all knelt down.
"Get up." Chen Yan waved his hand and walked to the sand table to watch carefully.
Construction of the branch city has already started.
The construction site is crowded with people and extremely busy.
Foreman Chen was orderly directing all the work on site, and all the civil and military officials were working hard, and no one dared to be lazy.
Yang Zongyue was patrolling around on a fire unicorn. At this moment, he seemed to sense Chen Yan's gaze. He raised his head and glanced into the air, curling the corner of his mouth slightly.
What does it mean?
Chen Yan also curled up the corner of his mouth, and then yawned lightly.
Yes, he is sleepy.
Chen Yunniang inherited her father's ability to observe people's emotions and said softly: "Lord City Lord, do you... need to rest for a while?"
Chen Yan glanced at her and shook his head.
Yes, he couldn't sleep here because he would go back as soon as he closed his eyes.
A hint of disappointment flashed through Chen Yunniang's eyes, and then her cheeks seemed to turn red. When Chen Yan looked carefully, they returned to normal.
hehe!
Chen Yan laughed in her heart: "She is indeed the daughter of foreman Chen. She looks calm on the surface, but in fact she has a lot of drama inside. She probably has wanted to be the wife of the city lord for a long time, or maybe it was a task that her father gave before he left. Anyway, she is holding it back. He is trying hard to take me down."
To be honest, Chen Yunniang is Chen Yan's favorite type.
Gentle, considerate, and knowledgeable.
She also looks very beautiful, and her figure is even more exquisite.
However, it can only be viewed from a distance...
Well, Chen Yan is just an energy body here.
Even a tadpole crawling on the forehead can't do anything.
However, others couldn't tell and only regarded him as a living person, so they were always speculating on when the city lord would get a wife.
"Yunniang, how are you doing with the female soldiers?" Chen Yan asked.
"Going back to the city lord, the female corps has been established. The training was completed three days ago and is now on duty at the city gates. Do you need to take a look?"
"No need. I can trust you just like I trust your father!"
"Thank you, Lord City Lord..." Chen Yunniang's eyes turned red again, her head was lowered and she did not dare to raise her head.
"Okay, you guys work hard, I'll come back in ten days!" With a wave of his right hand, Chen Yan turned into a golden light and disappeared.
The female officials lay on the ground for a long time, convinced that the Lord of the City would not appear again, then slowly stood up, and then all turned their heads to Chen Yunniang.
"Alas, the task assigned by dad has not been completed..." Chen Yunniang suddenly sighed, slowly stretched and stood up, "Do you think he doesn't like women?"
The female officers looked at each other, then nodded at the same time.
"I guess so. Otherwise, why hasn't he even married a wife after so many years? Forget it, I actually don't like him. After all, he is 160 years old and can be my grandfather's grandfather. , I'm really afraid that when he takes off his mask, wrinkles will fall all over the place, tsk tsk..."
Chen Yunniang shook her head, as if she had goosebumps all over her body, then raised her right hand and snapped her fingers: "Sisters, we are free again, let's play music and dance!"
The sound of strings and bamboos sounded immediately, and there was actually someone playing a big drum.
There was a female band hidden in the side hall of Ganqing. At this moment, they were playing flutes, erhus, and pipas, and the scene suddenly became extremely lively.
Chen Yunniang and the female officials immediately started dancing, and they actually danced quite well.
While they were singing and dancing, no one knew that there was a pair of eyes watching them in a corner of the hall.
Well, Chen Yan actually didn't leave, he just went to a secret room.
No one knows about this secret room, and it extends in all directions and can lead to any place in the city, such as an official's study or the wall between his bedroom.
That's why Chen Yan was able to grasp every move of the civil and military officials and hold them firmly in the palm of his hand.
In fact, he has never really felt relieved about female officials.
Because he believed in the words of the sage - only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise...
