Northern Pacification Commissioner

These words made Ye Liuyun look over with some surprise.

Is she concerned about me?

Thinking about it, it made sense. Yan Shuzhu, as the Emperor, had only a few capable people around her. It was normal for her to not want anything to happen to him.

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun waved his hand dismissively.

"I understand. Please thank His Majesty for her concern on my behalf."

"..."

Lü Lan really wanted to say that these words weren't something His Majesty told her to say, but rather what she herself wanted to say.

But after a moment of silence, Lü Lan still didn't speak the thoughts in her heart. She just nodded and lightly left Ye Liuyun's courtyard.

Her graceful figure truly resembled a fairy under the moonlight.

"I didn't expect her in women's clothing to be quite beautiful."

After retracting his gaze, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but mutter.

Then, he simply stretched his muscles and bones, and casually said in a lazy tone,

"Alright, come out!"

The next moment, Xing'er's figure walked out from the corner of the wall.

With Ye Liuyun's strength, he had long since discovered Xing'er hiding in the shadows. Lü Lan had also noticed, but neither of them had said anything.

"Master, this servant didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Worried that Ye Liuyun might misunderstand, Xing'er quickly explained.

She had originally come over normally, but unexpectedly saw someone arrive at Ye Liuyun's courtyard. Thinking that Ye Liuyun might have something important to attend to, Xing'er had stood there without coming out to disturb him.

"I know!"

He smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Xing'er didn't need to worry.

He could still tell whether someone was intentionally eavesdropping or not.

"Alright, don't worry about anything. Have the servants prepare some food. This Master is a bit hungry!"

When martial artists practice martial arts, they consume a lot and require more nutrition.

Although he had just finished eating not long ago, after practicing martial arts, Ye Liuyun felt a bit hungry again.

"Yes! Master, this servant will have someone prepare it immediately."

Seeing that Ye Liuyun didn't intend to blame her, Xing'er felt much more at ease. She immediately nodded in agreement and turned to have someone prepare some meals.

In the following days.

Ye Liuyun specifically asked Si Nan to keep an eye out and see if anyone was leading a team to leave the Imperial City to search for something.

Moreover, someone who could lead a team out of the city to search for a Spiritual Weapon.

This official position is definitely not low, at least a Chieftain, and very likely a Pacification Commissioner leading the team.

Taking advantage of this time.

Besides cultivating the Phantom Ninefold Body and Overlord Saber, Ye Liuyun also made another trip to the Bright Prison.

Over these many days, the number of prisoners in the Bright Prison had increased significantly.

Everyone here already knew Ye Liuyun. They knew Ye Liuyun liked to watch prisoners being punished, so when Ye Liuyun came, some prisoners who had just been executed and barely survived were dragged out and beaten again.

Although the people in the Bright Prison felt that Ye Liuyun's hobby was a bit strange.

But they couldn't argue with the fact that he was a Centurion.

They didn't dare to speak, nor did they dare to ask.

After one trip, by the time Ye Liuyun left, the Bright Prison was empty again.

It seemed they would have to wait a while for the Bright Prison to replenish its prisoners.

"What a pity!"

After leaving the Bright Prison, Ye Liuyun looked somewhat regretful.

This time, he didn't see any special Talent Traits, at most some of Blue and Cyan Quality, and even Blue Quality traits were rare.

His own Talent Traits hadn't changed much.

The only useful one was the Purple Quality Steel Bones trait, whose experience bar was almost full.

He believed that as long as he absorbed a few more Talent Traits of the same type and fused them, this Purple Quality Steel Bones trait could evolve into Gold Quality.

He was still very much looking forward to seeing what this type of trait related to physique would become after reaching Gold Quality.

It was already late.

Ye Liuyun had originally planned to go straight back.

But just then.

"Sir! Sir!"

Si Nan's figure suddenly came looking for him.

It seemed he had received some news.

"You found out?"

Just as Ye Liuyun had thought, upon hearing Ye Liuyun's question, Si Nan nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Sir, your subordinate received news that the Northern Pacification Commissioner will lead people out of the city tomorrow. I heard they are going to search for a weapon."

They weren't fools, of course they wouldn't openly say they were going to search for a Spiritual Weapon.

"The Northern Pacification Commissioner?"

Indeed, it was as he had thought.

Anyone qualified to lead a team out of the city to search for Spiritual Weapons would undoubtedly hold a high official position. The Brocade Guard has two Pacification Commissioners, one for the north and one for the south.

Ye Liuyun had only heard of them but had never met them.

This was a good opportunity to see what kind of person this Northern Pacification Commissioner was.

"Sir, the Northern Pacification Commissioner is currently assembling the personnel to go out of the city. If you wish to go, I can go and sign you up now!"

Usually, the number of people for such missions is fixed. If you want to go, you have to inform them in advance.

"Alright!"

Ye Liuyun did not refuse but nodded and said.

"You go and tell Shi Sheng as well, have him get ready. We'll leave the city tomorrow!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Hearing this, Si Nan seriously agreed and turned to leave to carry out the task.

It had to be said.

Having a clever subordinate like Si Nan made many things much simpler.

Ye Liuyun didn't need to do everything himself at all.

As for Shi Sheng, there was no need to worry about his strength, but he was indeed not as clever as Si Nan.

"Northern Pacification Commissioner?"

Ye Liuyun now usually ate in the backyard.

While eating, Ye Liuyun casually chatted. When Sheng Lanzhi learned that Ye Liuyun was going out of the city tomorrow, and even with the Northern Pacification Commissioner, she was clearly stunned for a moment.

"What, you know this Northern Pacification Commissioner?"

Ye Liuyun didn't have much of a reaction.

Anyway, his goal was that high-grade Spiritual Weapon, and it didn't matter much who led the team.

"I know a little!"

Sheng Lanzhi nodded naturally.

"When my father was still alive, someone tried to win over this Northern Pacification Commissioner and even wanted to marry one of my sisters to him."

Pacification Commissioners were already considered among those with considerable power within the Great Qian Dynasty.

It was not at all surprising that Sheng Li would want to win over a Northern Pacification Commissioner.

However.

"It failed?"

He didn't even need to think; it must have failed.

"Not only did it fail, but they were even beaten out!"

Sheng Lanzhi smiled and shook her head.

Even though it was her own father who was beaten, Sheng Lanzhi's face didn't show any sign of shared misfortune. Instead, she treated it as an amusing anecdote and laughed about it.

"Beaten out? Is this Northern Pacification Commissioner's temper that bad?"

Everyone served in the Great Qian Dynasty. Even if Sheng Li had been demoted, it shouldn't have been to the point of being given no face at all.

"It's different!"

Knowing what Ye Liuyun was thinking, Sheng Lanzhi smiled and shook her head.

"This Northern Pacification Commissioner was originally a General of the Swift Cavalry under the General of the Border Garrison. He's a military general, so it's normal for him to have a bad temper."
