Xiao He's token!
Fang Chen glanced at it, ignored Ye Long, and left.
"Lin Chen."
Seeing this, Ye Long's face was gloomy and a little angry.
"You dare to openly disobey Young Master Xiao He's order?"
Fang Chen sneered.
Trying to suppress him with a token? What a joke!
Besides, even if Xiao He himself came, what could he do, let alone Xiao He's token?
Fang Chen stopped.
"All I know is that if you dare to continue to jabber on and on to me, I, as the Commander in Chief, will execute you on the spot."
Hearing this, Ye Long shrunk his neck.
He clearly remembered the battle prowess that Lin Chen had displayed in the competition. It was simply too heaven-defying.
With his strength, he was no match for Lin Chen.
"Humph, just wait and see."
Ye Long stomped his feet.
After Xiao He became Lord Xiaoyao's disciple, his status was completely different.
In the past, there were not many people in the Xiaoyao Army who respected him, but now, seeing the token was the same as seeing the person.
No one dared to ignore Xiao He's token.
This token was his trump card.
Military Palace.
It was located in a mountain range thousands of miles away from Xiaoyao City.
Looking from the outside, it was an endless mountain range.
But only when one walked in would one realize that the prosperity of the mountain range was no less than that of Xiaoyao City.
The Xiaoyao Army was under the jurisdiction of the Military Palace.
And the commander was the biggest leader of the Military Palace.
Today.
In the Military Palace, several generals were walking around anxiously.
"It's a great shame to let a brat be the commander."
"That's right. We are all generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. We will not allow a brat to point fingers at us."
"We will jointly write a letter to the Lord Marquis asking him to dismiss the commander and the deputy commander."
The two highest leaders of the Military Palace had died in a war a few years ago.
Since then, these two positions had been vacant.
There was once a rumor in the Military Palace that General Li Shu was the most likely candidate to take over the position of commander.
Li Shu naturally thought so too.
He had a lot of power in the Military Palace.
Almost half of the generals were on his side.
Moreover, he had a close relationship with some of the higher-ups of the Xiaoyao Palace.
With all these factors combined, the position of the commander was obvious.
However, just as Li Shu was about to throw a celebratory feast, such a shocking piece of news came.
Duke Xiaoyao personally gave the order to select the third and second place as the highest leaders of the military palace.
When Li Shu received this news, he almost overturned the main hall.
"General Li Shu, what do you think?"
Someone asked.
The old man in armor had a hunched back. His expression was grave, and he seemed a little displeased.
"What can I do?
This is an order personally given by the Marquis. Could it be that we can disobey? "
Li Shu shook his head.
No matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't show it.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if they were caught red-handed.
"Vice Commander has arrived."
Right at this moment …
A voice came from outside the hall.
Ye Long walked in with his head held high.
"Greetings, Vice Commander."
Ye Long nodded. He was rather satisfied with the generals.
"From today onwards, I am the Deputy Commander of the Military Palace. You must carry out my orders," Ye Long said.
"Deputy Commander."
Li Shu took a step forward.
"You are Li Shu?"
Li Shu nodded.
Hearing this, Ye Long grinned.
Then, he took out Xiao He's token and said, "Young Master Xiao He told me that you will need to rely on General Li Shu's guidance in the future."
As expected, Li Shu heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiao He's token was a signal.
It meant that Ye Long was on their side.
"Li Shu is willing to serve you."
With Li Shu taking the lead, the generals began to express their stance.
Of course, there were also some who were not convinced.
"Hmph, brat, it's not impossible for us to listen to you. As long as you can tame the Black Orchid Group and make them obey your orders unconditionally, we will naturally obey you."
The burly General Ma Song said coldly.
When the generals heard the Black Orchid Group, their expressions changed drastically.
Even Li Shu frowned a little.
Everyone knew that Ma Song didn't get along with him.
It was just the beginning, and he was deliberately making things difficult for the Deputy Commander.
"Haha, shouldn't this be the Commander's business?"
Ye Long said with a smile when he saw Li Shu winking at him.
"That's right. Taming those troublemakers of the Black Orchid Group should be the Commander's business," Li Shu echoed.
Creak!
The door of the hall opened and Fang Chen walked in.
"Lin Chen, oh, no, it should be Commander Lin," Ye Long said.
"Many of the generals are people who have experienced life and death battles. They are not willing to be ordered around by a brat like you."
Clang!
Fang Chen threw the Commander's Golden Seal in front of everyone.
"I am the Commander personally appointed by Xiaoyao Hou. If you are not convinced, you can go and argue with Xiaoyao Hou."
Fang Chen's cold gaze swept across everyone.
"Brat, what are you so arrogant for?"
Ma Song said angrily.
"Open your dog eyes and look carefully. This is the Commander's Golden Seal." Fang Chen didn't want to repeat himself.
"You …"
Ma Song glared at Fang Chen and wanted to slap him to death.
But in the end, he restrained himself.
Attacking the Commander was a crime punishable by death.
Even if he complained to Xiaoyao Hou, it would be useless.
"Hmph."
Ma Song was terrified.
"Is there anything else?
If not, you can leave. "
Fang Chen didn't have time to care so much and directly used the Commander's Golden Seal to suppress everyone.
"Commander, we have an independent regiment in the Army Palace called the Black Orchid Regiment.
There are some troublemakers in it and we have been thinking about how to tame them. "
Li Shu smiled and said, "If the Commander can tame the Black Orchid Regiment, you will definitely be supported by everyone."
"If you can't even tame a regiment, what do I need you generals for?" Fang Chen scolded.
"Commander, you may not know, but the members of the Black Orchid Regiment all have forces behind them. If they are not the sons of high officials, they are the sons of unparalleled experts. We really can't do anything."
"I'll leave this matter to you."
Fang Chen said coldly as he turned his head to look at Ye Long.
"If you can't complete the task within three months, get lost."
After saying that, he left the main hall without looking back.
"Hmph, too arrogant."
"Just wait, I will kill him sooner or later."
Li Shu narrowed his eyes and thought.
"Hmph."
Ye Long snorted.
In the Commander's residence.
"Cultivate in seclusion."
Although he was given the position of Commander, he only wanted to cultivate.
He could leave the miscellaneous matters to Ye Long.
It had to be said that the Qi of Origin in the Commander's residence was even stronger. This was indeed an excellent place to cultivate.
Fang Chen sat cross-legged and began to cultivate in seclusion.
Li Shu and the others secretly spread the news of the Commander's arrogance.
They didn't forget to add fuel to the fire and create a negative image of Fang Chen.
For a time, the entire Army Palace was full of complaints about Fang Chen.
Especially the Black Orchid Regiment, when they learned that the Commander was going to attack them, they were furious.
