Chu Yun first bought several maps, including the map of Xuanjing, the entire map of Shanggu County, and even the map of the remaining counties and the sketch map of Tangzhou.

Then I bought Ben Yu Tang's literacy primer. He decided that he must learn Yutang's writing in the shortest possible time.

The rest of the time, he spent his time inquiring about the news of immortal cultivators and looking for elixirs and spirit stones.

Although he investigated very carefully, Chu Yun still didn't gain anything, and he heard a lot of legends and stories about fairies and ghosts.

Walking in the streets and alleys of Xuanjing, the most talked about in my ears is the current war situation. Of course, it is not good news, the armies of the five Western Barbarian countries have pressed the border, the city of Xisai has been lost, and the defense line of the eastern front two thousand miles away is also in danger. If this line of defense is also breached, Ueya County will only be left with the last barrier of the Great Cloud Mountain Range at the confluence of the two counties.

These news, just listen to it, it didn't affect Chu Yun's mood at all, the master is not from Yu Tang, Yu Tang's survival has a relationship with us, as for what Li Qin'er may suffer after Yu Tang falls?

When the moon and stars were scarce, Chu Yun returned to the blacksmith shop, lying on the bed, the air was filled with the smell of mortar that had not yet dried, and he was secretly planning tomorrow's trip.

The size of Xuanjing's territory was far beyond his imagination, and if he wanted to find news of elixirs and spirit stones in such a huge city, it would be more realistic to pin his hopes on the Immortal Tree and Cuimin Mountain Trade Fair.

The current plan can only be to take one step at a time, first go to the imperial city to explore the way, and see if you can find out the news of the immortal tree.

It seems that I really have to go to the military department tomorrow, and if I can get a familiar face, it will be much easier for me to enter and exit the Inner Imperial City.

Early the next morning, he got up early, and after dressing up, he first went to the mule and horse market to buy a white horse, and then rode straight to the imperial city.

Since entering the range of the imperial city, Chu Yun has been stopped and interrogated several times, and only after showing the golden scroll can he be released.

Searched all the way to the door of the military headquarters, it was already three poles in the sun, and after quietly stuffing a few taels of silver, there was a report from the guards who entered the palace attentively.

Not long after, the doorman came out to tell him that the three generals had all entered the court to discuss matters, and I was afraid that they would not be able to come back today.

Chu Yun was greatly disappointed, and he was not in a hurry to leave, and quietly gave this person ten taels of silver, and chatted with each other.

I don't know how many people come to the military department every day to do business, and the doorman is also a person who picks his eyebrows, and when he receives Chu Yun's silver, he naturally understands the other party's thoughts, and when he chats, he will inevitably reveal some important information.

The military department has three generals, six squires, 54 governors, and more than 200 secretaries.

One of the three generals is surnamed Du, one is surnamed Zhang, and one is surnamed He.

General Zhang is kind to people and is extremely tactful; General He is a man of unbending temperament and is very strict; General Du is calm and skillful, and his heart is full of hills and valleys, and his joy and anger are never visible.

When talking about the hobbies of the three generals, the doorman couldn't help but show a smug smile. I secretly disdained in my heart, I talked about it for a long time, and your kid finally showed his fox tail and inquired about the hobbies of the three generals, isn't it just to give gifts to the camp.

According to the guards, General He was born in the army, and he was fond of martial arts, and collecting all kinds of magic weapons was his greatest hobby; General Zhang was greedy for money, but General Du's hobby was a bit eccentric, and he was a good gambler, especially fond of all kinds of fresh and exciting gambling fights.

As for the Immortal Tree, the guards had only heard about it, but they couldn't provide any valuable information.

After getting these important news, Chu Yun felt that the ten taels of silver were not unjustly spent, and before leaving, he gave this person another twenty taels.

Chu Yun made a generous move, and the doorman had a good impression in his heart, but he quietly told a secret: the military department received a secret report yesterday that the two-thousand-mile defense line on the east side of Xiling County was broken yesterday, and Yutang lost tens of millions of soldiers. Now it has joined up with the Empire's reinforcements, retreated to the Great Cloud Mountains, and once again built a new line of defense. The situation was precarious, which was why the emperor urgently summoned his ministers to the store to discuss the matter.

On the second day, Chu Yun came to the military department early, and today people came and went very lively, and there were still many people in military uniforms waiting outside the military department. found the doorman yesterday, this person was also enthusiastic, and hurriedly passed it on for him.

After waiting for more than six hours, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and only then did a governor come out, who first inspected the golden scroll, and then led Chu Yun into the gate of the military headquarters.

After entering the gate, there is a huge courtyard inside, with a weapon rack on both sides, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and various weapons are complete, and people in the courtyard are busy with their own work, but they are all silent, and the atmosphere is calm and depressing.

Under the leadership of the governor, he was led to the most luxurious hall in the courtyard, and there was a huge plaque hanging at the door of the hall, on which a few big characters were written on the dragon flying and phoenix dance, poor Chu Yunxin learned Yu Tang characters, but he couldn't recognize such elegant handwriting.

In the middle of the hall is a large mahogany square table, around which three people in official uniforms are seated.

Seeing Chu Yun come in, the three of them looked up, the official on the right side of the square table had the most friendly attitude, nodding to Chu Yun with a smile, like an amiable old man next door, and the official on the left was about fifty years old, but he had a serious face, and two sharp eyes looked directly at Chu Yun, with a sense of authority that was not angry and self-threatening.

The official in the center was the youngest, about forty years old, this person glanced at Chu Yun indifferently, and asked unhurriedly, "Are you Chu Yun who won the staff officer?"

The smiling official must be General Zhang, the person with a serious face must be General He, and the official in the middle must be General Du. According to the information provided by the doorman, Chu Yun instantly judged the identities of the three people. Immediately bowed to the three of them: "In Xia Chuyun, see General Du, General Zhang, and General He!"

This person is definitely the first time to enter the military headquarters, and judging by his eyes, he can accurately identify the three of them! General Du's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Chu Yun, you have already arrived in Xuanjing five days ago, why did you only come to report today? Did you not take our military headquarters into account at all? If you are so sloppy, if you don't have a reasonable explanation, be careful that this official will punish you for the crime of slacking off the military plane!"

Chu Yun was taken aback, this General Du had a lot of opportunities, and he actually remembered the time he teleported over, which shows that not only has an excellent memory, but also has everything in his hands, no wonder he is already the master of the military department at a young age, this person should not be underestimated.

Since General Du had mastered the time of his teleportation, it was naturally impossible not to know about Chu Dabang. Chu Yun's heart moved, and he immediately replied without humility or arrogance: "General Qiyu Du, there is also a mountain giant who is accompanied by the people below, this person does not respect education and behaves rudely, Chu is afraid of causing chaos, so he first finds a place to settle down, but he does not dare to have the slightest intention of neglecting the military department!"

Chu Yun responded decently, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and the three generals couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

You must know that the three of them have been officials for many years, and they are in charge of the military department, and they have a strict official authority, which is actually a kind of aura formed by people in high positions over time, which is roughly similar to the kind of coercion that immortal cultivators have, although it is far less heavy than the coercion of immortal cultivators, but it is not trivial. Even the battle-hardened military attache Jin Jian is inevitably nervous and depressed, let alone such a young Xinzha civilian staff officer.

They didn't know that Chu Yun had lived beside immortal cultivators since he was a child, and he had long been accustomed to this kind of coercion, so he had developed immunity unconsciously, and naturally directly ignored the aura of mere mortals.

The three of them are in high positions, and they have long been accustomed to the appearance of others who are sincere and fearful, and there are few people as relaxed as Chu Yun. Five days ago, I had assessed a captain who was also from Haiyue, that person was called Ge Hu, although he was also very calm, but he was far less calm than the kid in front of him, and he was naturally amazed in his heart.

But he heard General Du speak: "In this case, this official will not pursue your guilt for negligence for the time being." Chu Yun, since you have won the military position of staff officer, this official will uphold the will of the saint, confer the military position, and will inform the officials to obtain the title of captain for you. However, if you want to get the real shortage, the official has to take the school exam for you!"

Chu Yun bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for the completion of the general, Chu Yun is grateful!"
