Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 252 A Surprise Attack? No, It's a Troop Expedition

"Oh, Fu Qing, think about it. If you take over my position in the future, wouldn't the entire Shence Prefecture be yours?"

"It's just a simple observation formation; let the future diviners build another one," Jing Yuan tempted Fu Xuan.

“General, what you said is very good, but I have another good idea,” Fu Xuan said.

"Oh? What brilliant idea does Fu Qing have?" Jing Yuan immediately became interested.

"I plan to demolish and rebuild your Shence Mansion. We can use the materials from the demolition to build the Qiongguan Formation," Fu Xuan said after a moment's thought.

"No way, Fu Qing, how could you be so heartless?" Jing Yuan was greatly shocked.

“Now that I’m a general, I’ll be in charge, right, General?” Fu Xuan squinted at Jing Yuan.

"Cough cough..."

Jing Yuan coughed twice, knowing that Fu Xuan was criticizing him for his earlier attempt to observe the formation.

At this moment, Huai Yan spoke up again:

"Although General Jingyuan understands it this way, I cannot remain silent."

"When reporting this incident to the Marshal, I, an old man, should take the lead and explain the reasons to him," Huaiyan said earnestly.

"In that case, thank you very much, Elder Yan." Jing Yuan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was already delighted.

Finally, we managed to get Elder Yan on board.

"Oh, right, there's one more important thing." Huaiyan suddenly changed the subject.

"The Jianmu tree has been revived."

"I know that, Elder Yan." Jing Yuan's expression also became serious.

Jingyuan received the report the moment the Jianmu tree began to move.

"Jianmu? You mean that half-dead tree? It's grown so big all of a sudden." March 7th gestured with his hands.

“Yes, that is Jianmu.” Jingyuan nodded.

"I think you have all been in Luofu for quite some time now, and you must have some understanding of Luofu. You must know what the Jianmu means to Luofu and the Immortal Ship."

"I wonder if any of you know anything about the revival of the Jianmu tree this time?" Jing Yuan glanced at the train crew.

Fu Xuan had just arrived ahead of time and informed him of Kafka and the others' plans.

Although he had guessed some of it beforehand, he was still quite shocked when he actually confirmed it.

The Star Core Hunters, a group of mysterious individuals.

However, this also completes the final piece of his puzzle.

Walter Yang pondered for a moment, then said, "When the Jianmu tree was growing, I sensed a familiar energy. Such an unusual energy could only be from the 'Star Core'."

"Uncle Yang means... that the star core caused the growth of the 'Jianmu'?" March 7th was greatly surprised.

“Indeed, as expected of the Star Train, great minds think alike.” Jing Yuan smiled.

"Huh? The general already knew beforehand? Then why did he ask us?" March 7 asked, puzzled.

"Shouldn't we confirm this with you again? After all, you claimed to be experts in star core processing back then."

“Since they are experts, Jingyuan must ask for their opinions,” Jingyuan continued.

"Now that the general knows, what is your next move?" Walter Young asked.

“I know that Luofu must have external enemies, because the star core cannot appear out of thin air. Someone must have used some means to infiltrate it into the immortal ship. As for the internal troubles of Luofu, they must be the hidden evil organization that claims to be a prosperous people: the Secret Transmission of the Medicine King.”

"Fortunately, we had the list provided by Miss Xing and Miss March."

At this moment, Fu Xuan walked over and said urgently, "General, don't be so leisurely now!"

"Now that we have the list, the immediate priority is to gather the Cloud Cavalry and head to the grotto where 'Jianmu' is rooted, eradicate the evil spirit in the star core, and stop its rebirth."

"Wait, Fu Qing, we must nip it in the bud."

"Let's wait a little longer. The fact that the 'Secret Teachings of the Medicine King' chose this moment to act means that the Cloud Cavalry has taken control of the overall situation, and the traitors are getting impatient. It's the perfect time to wipe them all out."

“General, speak like a human being.” Fu Xuan rolled his eyes at Jing Yuan.

"Ahem, Fu Qing, don't be so blunt," Jing Yuan coughed twice. "Right now, the Yunqi Army is busy with disaster relief in various places, and we really can't spare any more manpower."

"Sigh, I knew it..." Fu Xuan sighed helplessly.

"If we just sit here doing nothing, what if something unexpected happens? How can the general bear the loss?!"

"Fu Qing, Fu Qing, I still have a secret weapon I haven't used yet."

As Jingyuan spoke, he turned his gaze to the train crew.

"Wait, you mean the surprise attack? It can't be us, can it?" March 7th suddenly realized.

She was just about to see how Luo Fu would handle it, but now she's the one being targeted.

“Miss March is really smart; she must be part of the train’s think tank.” Jing Yuan smiled slightly.

"Luofu is in dire need of manpower. Since the Star Core Hunter is willing to form an alliance between the train and us, Jing Yuan will not stand on ceremony."

Xing shook his head helplessly, "I knew it. The moment the general smiles, we're about to be ordered around."

Fu Xuan, standing to the side, was speechless.

It was her fault; she had placed undue expectations on the general.

This surprise force is being used far too frequently. Is there no one else we can use on Luofu Mountain?

This isn't a surprise attack; it's just a way to exhaust the troops!

But thinking about it carefully, even General Huaiyan, who came to help, is in this state, so it seems that... there really is no one else available...

Fu Xuan thought for a moment and swallowed back the words of condemnation he had for Jing Yuan.

“General Jingyuan,” Huaiyan suddenly spoke.

"I have something to remind General Jingyuan. The location of the 'Jianmu' is a secret among secrets. Allowing outsiders to make contact with it might......"

“There are violations,” Jing Yuan said first.

"Elder Yan, I know that, but there are rules only after there is a celestial ship."

"In times of crisis, regulations should be used if they are applicable, and discarded if they are not."

"Alright, it's good that you've thought it through." Huaiyan nodded slightly.

It's too late to try and persuade him now; he's already on the wrong path, so there's no choice but to stick to it.

"Yes, yes, we've been running ourselves ragged since the general gave the order," March 7 said weakly.

"Rest assured, everyone, once the crisis is resolved, Luo Fu will repay you handsomely," Jing Yuan promised.

"Alright, let's set off because of what the general said!" Xing was immediately full of energy.

Just kidding, what could compare to generous mission rewards?

If there is one, it can only be an entanglement.

"Forget it, one more time won't make a difference on our pioneering journey." March 7 shook his head helplessly.

"Where's Uncle Yang? What did he say?" March 7th looked at Walter Yang.

"Now that we've come to Luofu, we must uphold the pioneering spirit of the train." Walter Young adjusted his glasses.

March 7th looked puzzled.

“Translate this: he agreed,” Little Eve said from the side.

"Fu Qing, I am entrusting you with the military tally. You will be in command of the Cloud Cavalry, providing support outside the Dan Ding Si cave near the Jianmu."

Jing Yuan took out a tiger tally and handed it to Fu Xuan.

"Me? I'm going to lead the troops?" Fu Xuan was somewhat surprised.

"Haven't you always wanted to see what it's like to be a general?" Jing Yuan smiled mysteriously.

“You usually wouldn’t allow it, but this time suddenly… I understand, so I’ll do as you say.” As Fu Xuan spoke, he suddenly realized something and said solemnly.

"As for the members of the train group... I now openly invite you all to join the operation to seal the star core," Jing Yuan said solemnly to everyone.

"Minister Fu will deploy the Cloud Cavalry, and I would like to ask that you all proceed ahead, taking the shortcut through the 'Construction Bureau,' and then rendezvous with Minister Fu."

"Say no more, obey." Xing had already picked up the big stick.

Just because of the promise of a generous reward, she was the first to rush forward.

"Thank you all very much."

As Jing Yuan watched Fu Xuan lead the train crew away, he began to calculate again in his mind.

"Hopefully, nothing goes wrong this time."

.................................................. ..............................

After everyone left, Huaiyan also intended to leave, but then he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, where is General Tianji? Judging by the time, she should be here by now, right?"

“General Tianji has just arrived at the Jade Realm Gate, and I have already sent Yanqing to meet him,” Jingyuan said.

"Yanqing? That young sword master of the new generation in Luofu?" Huaiyan stroked his beard, recalling the previous rumors.

Yun Li, who was standing to the side, pricked up her ears to listen.

The young swordsman of Luofu?

"Elder Yan, you flatter me. These are all rumors." Jing Yuan nodded and smiled.

"Since the war a hundred years ago, there has been no definitive answer as to who is the leader of the Luofu Sword. As for the claim that Yanqing is the leader of the Luofu Sword, it is just a folk rumor."

"He is still young and inexperienced, and his qualifications are insufficient. He is far from being comparable to the Sword Master at this time," Jing Yuan said modestly.

"General Jingyuan is too modest. Yanqing is hailed as a genius youth and the strongest swordsman in Luofu. Moreover, he is your disciple after all. If the master is so powerful, the disciple must be just as good."

"Hahaha, Elder Yan is joking..."

Huaiyan and Jingyuan were exchanging pleasantries, but Yunli overheard everything.

Yan Qing? A genius girl? The strongest swordsman? And a potential successor to the Luofu Sword Master?

Hmph, she wanted to see just how much this Yanqing was worth to her grandfather.

Just then, someone came to report.

"General, an accident has occurred at Starship Sea."

"Yanqing's elite guards discovered Bu Liren's whereabouts and a fight broke out in Xingcha Sea, which has now caused a disturbance."

Jing Yuan frowned slightly, but still said calmly, "I didn't expect that mentioning him would lead to such a series of events."

"He's still too young," Jing Yuan shook his head slightly.

He had previously instructed Yanqing to plan carefully before making a decision, and that his strategy towards Bu Liren was to pursue him closely but not chase him too closely to avoid losing track of him.

Sure enough, he was too impulsive.

"General Jingyuan, there's no need to worry too much. Yanqing's elite guards are strong and will surely be able to turn the danger into safety," Huaiyan comforted him.

“Sigh…” Jing Yuan sighed.

"However, this has caused a disturbance, but General Sky Strike is about to enter the port..."

Before Jing Yuan could finish speaking, Yun Li suddenly darted out.

"Grandpa, General, leave this to me..."

After leaving behind a message, Yun Li had already left the Shence Mansion, leaving only the two of them standing there.

“This, Miss Yun Li…” Jing Yuan was somewhat worried.

“It’s alright, it’s good for the young people to get some experience,” Huaiyan said.

“My child has been cooped up at home for a long time, so this is a good opportunity for him to get some experience and also to strengthen the bond between young people.”

"Elder Yan is right." Jing Yuan nodded slightly.

Hopefully, nothing too serious will happen.

I'll have Yu Kong keep a close eye on things later.

.......................................

Xingcha Port.

"Don't even think about running!"

Yanqing rode on his flying sword, chasing after the three fleeing Bu Li people.

Bu Liren glanced back and said in a low voice, "This brat is really troublesome."

"Get rid of him quickly, the time that Mangus arranged is almost here."

"I know, isn't it being shaken right now?"

“You, turn around and stop him.”

"Yes."

One of the steps immediately turned around and pounced towards Yan Qing in the sky.

"Hmm? Perfect timing!"

Yanqing made a hand seal, and six flying swords shot out together, heading straight for Bu Liren.

"You little brat, take this!"

Bu Liren lightly stepped on the wall, quickly dodging the six flying swords.

But just as he approached Yanqing, the six flying swords suddenly turned around and pierced directly into Bu Liren's back.

"Damn it..." Bu Liren's consciousness began to dissipate.

"I don't have time to waste with you."

Yan Qing swung his sword and beheaded Bu Liren, then took out six flying swords and continued to chase after him.

"Damn it, he's catching up again." Bu Liren couldn't help but feel a little panicked as she looked at Yan Qing getting closer and closer behind her.

"Hmph, he chose to catch up with us himself, so we can't blame him."

"Turn around, the ambush point is just ahead. Let's take him down together, brothers."

The two men immediately quickened their pace and turned into a small alley ahead.

Yanqing frowned, but without thinking much, she chased after him inside.

He had only chased after him for a short while when he lost sight of Bu Liren.

For some reason, the alley was pitch black, even though it was broad daylight outside. With each step I took inside, the darkness deepened.

Yanqing gripped the sword hilt tightly, and without hesitation, charged straight in.

He wanted to prove himself.

Seeing Yan Qing's impulsive behavior from the shadows, Bu Liren immediately smiled.

"They've taken the bait."

"We can prepare for the hunt."

Bu Liren remained hidden in the shadows, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

"I gave you a chance, but you insisted on catching up."

"That's not our fault."

Bu Liren pulled down a lever, and immediately the sound of machinery turning could be heard.

"Lord Mangus is truly a prophet."

"The head of the Cloud Cavalry's elite guards should be the most perfect meal after the battle."
