Chapter 4,294: My Secret

he needed an opportunity to test his true strength."Splash!"Suddenly, from the water surface transformed by dark clouds, a wave a hundred zhang high surged up and crashed down heavily on Jiang Yun bel...Jiang Yun strode confidently into a grand hall, approaching Yan Tianqi who sat on the upper dais. He bowed respectfully and said in an unyielding tone, "I am Fan Xiao, a middle-ranking general of the First Heaven. I greet you, General Yan!"

Yantianqi raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise appearing on his elegant face. "It's been days since we last met, I didn't expect you to have already been promoted to a Colonel, truly congratulations!"

“But General Fan just took office. He isn't familiar with the affairs in his own jurisdiction yet, how could he have time to come here”

"Surely, Fan Bian couldn't have come all this way just to tell me this good news"

"Need help"

"Yan Tianqi looked puzzled and said: 'Fan Pian belongs to the first level of heaven. If there are any difficulties, he should ask Mo Zetian for help!'"

Jiang Yun sighed and said, "Lord Yan, you don't know this, but before I was just an ordinary guard. I wasn't well-known and wasn't good at socializing. I've been in Tianwai Tian for so many years, and I haven't made any friends."

"Long ago, I participated in a hunt and forged bonds of life and death with some guards, becoming close comrades through hardship."

"Master Yan must have already thought of it, those thirty-eight people who spoke up for me during the grand competition."

"Now that I have become a general, but there are no usable people under my command, the Heavenly Marshal specially sent a decree to let me transfer these thirty-eight men into my ranks."

It is a coincidence that two of them belong to Lord Yan's command.

Therefore, I have mustered my courage today and come here to ask Lord Yan for the person.

"I still hope that Master Yan will be kind enough to allow me to take the two guards away."

After listening to Jiang Yun's explanation, Yan Tianqi smiled and nodded, "I thought it was a big deal, this matter is not difficult."

Moreover, you have the decree of Lord Tianshuai, so naturally I should release them.

However, every rank of official in my heavenly realms and every region has a specific number of guards allocated to it.

If you were to appoint a couple of people as your trusted confidants, the problem wouldn't be so great.

"But you killed thirty-eight people at once! That's a bit out of line, isn't it"

Jiang Yun smiled wryly and said, "Master Yan may not know this, even if we reach the thirty-eight people, there are still over a hundred vacancies in my command!"

"If the adults were to send me a few more guards, I would be even more grateful."

"Over a hundred spots are vacant" Yan Tianqi frowned involuntarily. "Then what about the over a hundred guards who were here before Did they all just run away!"

"None!" Jiang Yun shook his head and said lightly, "I killed him!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Tianqi's eyes suddenly blazed with light, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, directly covering Jiang Yun.

While Jiang Yun remained as if oblivious, he continued, "During the grand tournament, Lord Yan saw clearly that it was after I defeated Lu Wenlin that I obtained the position of deputy general."

But originally, Lu Wenlin's subordinates were very dissatisfied with me. They united and disobeyed my orders. They even dared to rebel and attempt to kill me, so I had no choice but to eliminate them.

That's precisely why I suddenly have over two hundred vacant guard positions here. That's why I'm looking everywhere for other celestial generals to fill them.

"No, I'm going to Lord Yan's place now!"

As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, Yan Tianqi suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha, on his first day in office, he actually killed more than 200 guards under him!"

"Fan Piaojiang, you are truly bold and generous!"

It is said that a new official starts with three fires, but Fan Pian started the first one with great intensity!

Even I, as the commander of this army, feel inadequate.

"For this very reason, I allow you to take those two guards Fan Bian Jiang wants!"

Jiang Yun bowed to Yan Tianqi and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Yan!"

Yan Tianqi waved his hand and said, "Fan Bian, your words are too heavy!"

"After I'm finished with my work, I will come visit you another day and properly thank Lord Yan!"

"No rush!" Yan Tianqi smiled faintly. "During the Grand Tournament, Fan Bianjiang's performance was too dazzling, which made me very curious about his background, so I also inquired privately."

"As Fan Bian just said, you used to be unknown and were often bullied by your comrades and superiors."

"How come, all of a sudden, not only has your strength improved so much, but your personality has also changed drastically It's like you've become a completely different person."

"I don't know, could you explain to me what's going on"

A trace of hesitation crept across Ginger Cloud's face. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "If anyone else had asked me, I wouldn't have said a word. This is my secret."

"But since Master Yan has spoken, I dare not hide it."

"However, only Master Yan himself should know about this matter. It mustn't be told to anyone else."

Jiang Yun's answer caused Yan Tianqi to involuntarily narrow his eyes. He thought to himself, "With this person's intelligence, it's impossible they didn't hear the true meaning in my words."

"Looking at him, it seemed like he was really about to tell me his secret"

Yan Tianqi nodded slowly and said, "Fan Bianjiang can rest assured, this general is not a gossipy person."

Ginger nodded, then said in a transmission, "To be honest with Lord Yan, I was truly mediocre before. However, many years ago, I accidentally came across a great opportunity."

"I was fortunate enough to meet an emperor who not only secretly guided my cultivation but also provided me with everything I needed as much as possible. This allowed me to gradually reach where I am today!"

Yantianqi's narrowed eyes suddenly shot out two beams of cold light!

Whether Jiang Yun heard the meaning in his words, Yan Tianqi didn't know, but he did. He heard the meaning in Jiang Yun's words!

This also finally made him understand why the Emperor had let himself go to any lengths to kill Jiang Yun.

Apparently, Ginger Cloud knew about her collusion with the Emperor!

At this moment, Yan Tianqi's heart was filled with murderous intent. He even secretly raised his hand, ready to strike.

However, Ginger Cloud then continued, "Master Yan, although this secret is known to a few people besides you, I still hope that you can keep it confidential for me."

Yantianqi slowly lowered his hand, the coldness in his eyes also subsided. He gave a faint smile and said, "This isn't really much of a secret, is it"

"Having heard many people talk about fortunes like the ones Master Fan Pieng has experienced, I just don't know if they are true or not."

After all, this kind of thing is very mysterious and there's no evidence.

Jiang Yun smiled faintly: "Not only evidence, I even have eyewitnesses."

"Well, that's a long story. Perhaps another time, when I have the opportunity, I can tell Lord Yan in detail."

"Well!" Jiang Yun again clasped his fists at Yan Tianqi and said, "Today's chat with Lord Yan was very pleasant, but I really have official business to attend to. I shall take my leave now!"

After he finished speaking, Ginger Cloud didn't even wait for Yan Tianqi's response. She turned and walked out of the hall.

As Yan Tianqi watched Jiang Yun's retreating figure, thoughts flashed rapidly in his mind. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped towards Jiang Yun with a palm strike.

Although Yan Tianqi believed that Jiang Yun dared to come to see him alone, he must have made arrangements for a backup plan. But no matter what the backup plan was, as long as he could catch the other party first and then search his soul, he would definitely be able to solve all future troubles.

Although Jiang Yun was facing away from Yan Tianqi, he had long been prepared for Yan Tianqi to attack him.

As he turned to leave, he had quietly grasped the stone that Gu Sansong had given him.

However, Jiang Yun did not rush to crush the stone.

He was waiting, at the critical moment, would anyone come to save himself!

As Yan Tianqi's palm instantly appeared behind Jiang Yun, the wind brought by his palm formed a storm, filling the hall.

Just then, a cold snort suddenly rang out, causing Jiang Yun and Yan Tianqi's faces to change drastically!d, looking extremely terrifying.But the four hidden powerhouses saw everything clearly. From beginning to end, the Heavenly Venerable Wanhua did nothing but shake his bell; he never touched Jiang Yun...
