Chapter 591: Entrusted with a Heavy Task
Fang Qianyuan went all the way south, and more than ten days passed, and finally crossed the vast forest sea and came to the end of the southern wilderness at the southern foot of the Xuanyi Mountain Range. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Finally back!" Looking at the undulating distant mountains like a long dragon hidden in the turquoise forest, Fang Qianyuan couldn't help but show a hint of relief on his face.
During this period of time, if there was a tacit understanding between him and the Imperial Spirit Sect, the well water would not interfere with the river water.
He did not wantonly attack the enemy camp anymore and took the initiative to provoke, and the Imperial Spirit Sect did not send any more masters to round up.
This is because they all know that they can't help each other and don't want to cause unnecessary damage.
This is actually the so-called privilege of the strong, Fang Qianyuan has now proved that he is a real strong man with his brilliant achievements, and those who are idle have no confidence to deal with him, so naturally they will not make unnecessary sacrifices.
Knowing that it is meaningless, but also being sent into battle by the upper peak, this is not a battle, but a death, and giving this kind of order also requires an additional price, which is not usually feasible.
Idle people don't have this courage, let alone this authority, and even have a vague instruction from the top, ordering ordinary people and earth-level masters to retreat and not be punished if they encounter them.
In this way, it is natural that there will be no further temptation.
Just as Fang Qianyuan was watching, a few miles away in the mountains and forests, several figures flickered, and a moment later, several burly and majestic lions with single horns on their foreheads ran over carrying the spirit masters of the Southern Wilderness.
These were all people from the Southern Wilderness camp, and Fang Qianyuan could identify the ornaments of the Mu family in Ceylon City from them at a glance.
These people were all people from all walks of life who came to participate in the war in the name of the Mu family's disciples, but the person at the head was clearly a member of the Cangyun Sect known to Fang Qianyuan, who was the steward of the Imperial Court who came to Ceylon City with Fang Qianyuan.
"Elder Fang, you're finally back!" Seeing Fang Qianyuan, the steward hurriedly said, "Sect Master urgently summons, order you to return to Ceylon City quickly!"
"Okay, I see. "Over the past few days, the sect has sent many messages and urged, and Fang Qianyuan had no choice but to end his investigation on the front line and rush back.
The next day, Fang Qianyuan repented of Ceylon City, but unexpectedly found that there were ten earth-level elders of the Cangyun Sect rushing over, and with them, there were more than a dozen general-level soldiers from the Soldier Hall.
Each of them brought a group of elite masters with more than seven human ranks, as well as the soldiers of the Soldier Hall, and now they were stationed in the camp prepared for them by the families in the city.
"Let me introduce you, this is the Elder of this sect. A deacon of Dengxian Academy, who Fang Qianyuan had several faces, stood up and said to everyone.
This is a special envoy on behalf of the sect master Yu Shixian, because of Fang Qianyuan's return, he specially summoned everyone from everywhere to see this side.
"Elder Fang, these are the elders of my sect......" he immediately introduced to Fang Qianyuan.
The crowd immediately saluted each other.
The sect master's envoy said, "Elder Fang, the sect master has an edict and wants me to convey it on my behalf. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Fang Qianyuan asked suspiciously.
"That's the case, the sect master intends to nominate you as the commander of the Northern Frontier Legion and take charge of all aspects of the coalition forces, I don't know what you want?"
"Sect Master actually has such intentions?" Fang Qianyuan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.
In the past few days, Yu Shixian has urged many times, and between his words, he has indeed vaguely said that when Fang Qianyuan returns, he will be entrusted with important tasks.
Fang Qianyuan also guessed that he would have important tasks to hand over to him.
But I still didn't expect it to be such an important mission.
Taking charge of a legion and becoming the commander-in-chief is not just as simple as a nominal commander-in-chief, it also means that Fang Qianyuan will be responsible for the safety and honor of all parties in the entire coalition army, and even affect the development of the overall situation in the world.
"Qianyuan's qualifications are still shallow, and he suddenly took on such a heavy responsibility, but I am afraid that people will not be convinced. Fang Qianyuan hesitated for a moment and said tentatively.
"Why should Elder Fang be arrogant, my sect never prioritizes age in employing people, but only merit!" the sect master's envoy heard Fang Qianyuan say this, and immediately said.
He could see that Fang Qianyuan didn't have the intention to refuse.
"Yes, Elder Fang, although the position of the commander of the legion is a leader, not a general who charges into battle, but according to convention, it is held by a peak powerhouse with ten turns of combat power. Several Cangyun Sect elders also stood up and persuaded them.
As for the people of the Mu family, the families in the city, and the soldiers, they don't seem to care about this matter.
It is not difficult to understand that this commander-in-chief, after all, is only the nominal leader of the coalition forces, and his own troops and horses are still under his own command.
Whether it becomes a banner, a big seal, an overall arrangement, and a liaison with all parties, or a real power, it depends on the follow-up means.
The Qinggui Elder faction intends to introduce a young powerhouse like Fang Qianyuan so that he can accumulate qualifications and prestige, and they naturally will not rashly oppose it.
From the day when Fang Qianyuan's "unparalleled" talent was revealed, the obstacle to serving as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces had actually disappeared, and everyone could see that this person had infinite potential, and there was no point in hindering him from ascending to the throne.
Yu Shixian may have seen this, so he was relieved to boldly raise this matter, just to see if Fang Qianyuan was prepared.
Of course, Yu Shixian didn't know, in fact, Fang Qianyuan's trip to Zhongzhou collected limited information, most of which was obtained from Yin Ziyang and Peng Chun's secret letters, but the biggest feeling was that he was alone, it was difficult to become a climate, and he couldn't trace the clues of that incident by himself, and he was powerless to affect the situation.
This commander is still worth becoming, as a strong man, not only personal strength must be strong, but also power and prestige.
As for whether you can do it, you don't have to worry.
Not to mention, this commander is more of a nominal supreme commander, and has the right to make suggestions and overall arrangements for the movement of troops in various departments, but it is difficult to directly command.
Even if he really wants to command directly, the sect will definitely take into account his shortcomings, arrange his staff and advisers in advance, listen to their opinions on everything, and be as good as a stream.
Perhaps the only problem is that when he was in Zhou Luocheng, he had promised Wang Xuanji to do his best to promote peace and avoid the destruction of life.
But this matter can never be done with empty words, without the name of the commander of this legion, he would not even be able to add more beaks to the platoon of the sect's troops.
If you want to promote peace, you still have to grasp the corresponding authority in the end, so that you are qualified to get involved in this situation and influence the decision-making of the top level with your own will.
Therefore, this is not a breach of promise.
"Well, as long as the elders pass, I'll take it. Fang Qianyuan didn't give in and nodded in response.
The envoy rejoiced: "In this case, I can go back to my life." ”
He was deeply satisfied with Fang Qianyuan's answer, and would return the matter as quickly as possible, and then the sect elders would pass a resolution and form a formal order to convey it back.
