"It's better not to. Even if I can really return to the front line, there will be no war to fight for a few years. It's just a waste of time." Pei Sui thought about it seriously for a while, then shook his head and said:
"Why not try to stay in the Gou Chen Division? If you are close to the water, you will be able to see the moon first. If you practice your magical powers well, you won't have to worry about not having the opportunity to make achievements in the future?"

"Isn't it time to do something great? You guys have already fought this war, what other achievements can I make?" Chen Baxian scratched his head.

"Haha, naive." Ren Yuan chuckled.

"You think too simply," Pei Sui also nodded and sighed: "There are too many obstacles in the court..."

It was obvious that the following words were not suitable to be said any further, so he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "If there is really a chance to march north, I will definitely ask for your help."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Ren Yuan and the other two raised their glasses and drank it all with Pei Sui.

~~
When the wine was half drunk, Chen Qingzhi came back accompanied by Xue Dingnan.

The four of them hurriedly stood up to greet them.

Chen Qingzhi smiled and clasped his fists towards Pei Sui, saying, "Congratulations, Commander Pei, your case is closed. An angel will come to summon you to an audience soon."

"Thank you, General Chen." Pei Sui bowed and thanked him.

"I can't help much. The main thing is that those who are innocent will be cleared of their guilt." Chen Qingzhi smiled and helped him up.

"General Chen, what about the three of us?" Chen Baxian looked at Chen Qianzhi eagerly.

"I've said before that you can use your merits to atone for your crimes." Chen Qingzhi smiled faintly and said, "The two of them have done great deeds this time, which is enough to exempt them from punishment."

He teased Chen Baxian again and said, "As for you, didn't I hear that you have received a reward?"

"General Chen, why are you making such a joke?" Chen Baxian said bitterly, "My reputation in this life has been ruined by a kick."

"Hahaha." Chen Qingzhi laughed twice and said, "Since you have worked hard even though you have no merit, I will forgive you this time and give you a chance to continue to make merit and atone for your sins."

He said to Ren Yuan and the other two sternly, "Although you two can be pardoned, you have caused such a big disaster. I am really worried about letting you go. How about you stay and work for me in the Gou Chen Division?"

A Yao looked at Ren Yuan and naturally listened to him.

Ren Yuan had actually thought about joining the Gou Chen Division a long time ago. Now everyone in the world knows that it was they who caused the conspiracy to steal the tomb of Donghun Hou to fail.

And those who know the ghosts also know that the Emperor's Sword is in A Yao's possession.

Therefore, Ming Gui and Xiao Baoyin would never let them go. And the big man hiding in the dark must hate them too.

At this time, Gou Chen Si's protection was something he had been longing for. Even if Chen Qingzhi didn't mention it, he would have to beg for protection.

What's more, the Sansheng Beast had already pointed out that his future was in Gouchen.

"That's what I wish for, but I dare not ask for it." Ren Yuan clasped his fists and said respectfully.

"Haha, good." Chen Qingzhi nodded happily and said to Xue Dingnan beside him: "The three of them will be assigned to Lingguang Guard. You can take them back and settle them down."

"As you command." Xue Dingnan responded in a deep voice, glanced at the three people and said, "Follow me."

"Yes." The three of them bid farewell to Pei Sui and Chen Qingzhi, and followed Master Xue Wei to leave Zuyin Garden.

Without anyone else around, Pei Sui thanked Chen Qingzhi again. "I know that General Chen must have spoken to the emperor on my behalf. I will never forget this favor."

"General Pei, don't worry. I am just doing my duty and speaking according to my conscience." Chen Qingzhi chuckled and sighed, "But you should not be too optimistic. Don't mention the Northern Expedition too much when you meet the emperor, so as not to make things worse."

"I understand." Pei Sui nodded and asked softly: "Then to what extent should we talk about it? Please teach me, General Chen." "Shouyang." Chen Qingzhi said in a low voice.

"Not across the Huai River?" Pei Sui could not hide his disappointment.

"Yes." Chen Qingzhi nodded and said, "The emperor means that we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression. General Pei can just take back all the land south of the Huai River. Once the problems in the rear are solved, it won't be too late to march north. In short, let's do it step by step."

"Alas, I'm afraid the opportunity won't wait for anyone..." Pei Sui sighed helplessly.

~~
On the other side, Xue Dingnan took Ren Yuan and the other two out of the Gou Chensi government office and came to the Lingguangwei military camp half a mile away.

The barracks of Chongguang Chuang are located among them, so this is not the first time Ren Yuan has come back.

Xue Dingnan took them directly to Chongguang Tower.

The atmosphere in the barracks was very relaxed. After several days of sleepless missions, the soldiers were given a day off.

The ghostwriters and the big guys changed into casual clothes and went out in groups of three or five to have a drink and have fun. When they saw the guard master coming in, the ghostwriters who were jokingly discussing women stood at attention and saluted.

"You can go to the brothel, but don't neglect the women at home." Xue Dingnan waved his hand and told them to do what they were supposed to do. He smiled at the Fifth Dimension who came out after hearing the news and said, "The reward is here."

"What reward?" The Fifth Dimension asked with a smile. Everyone's faces were full of anticipation and they stopped involuntarily.

"The three of them are your subordinates from now on." Xue Dingnan replied.

"Hey..." Everyone walked away disappointed.

The Fifth Dimension was very happy, rubbing his hands and saying, "Great, I have been determined to get A Yuan for a long time, and I wanted to recruit him as soon as he regained his freedom."

Chen Baxian couldn't help but mutter, "So I'm just an extra..."

"It seems that you really like this kid. You can actually remember this matter all the time." Xue Dingnan smiled and said, "Then take good care of them."

Then he turned around and said to Ren Yuan and the other two in a serious tone, "My Gou Chen Division will reward meritorious deeds and punish faults. We will never bury your merits, nor will we condone your faults. So you must strictly abide by the rules and do not cross the line. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes." Ren Yuan and the other two quickly responded.

~~
After Xue Dingnan left, the Fifth Dimension happily pulled the three of them into his duty room.

His room was spotless and everything was neatly arranged. He didn't look like he had amnesia at all.

"Are you surprised? Haha, actually it's Nangong who cleans every day." The Fifth Dimension smiled and asked the three to sit down and said, "You haven't officially joined yet, so don't be so reserved. Just order casually."

"Let me give you a brief introduction to the situation of our Gou Chen Division..." He scratched his head, thought for a while, and then raised his voice and said, "Nangong, come here!"

"I'm here." Nangong came in with a look of disgust and sat down next to the fifth dimension.

"Please introduce our Gou Chen Division to them." The Fifth Dimension said nonchalantly.

"Yes." Nangong responded and said to the three people:
"This department is under the jurisdiction of the Zhiju Yamen, and is organized as a palace guard. It has four guards: Mengzhang, Jianbing, Lingguang, and Zhiming. Among them, 300 Mengzhang guards are stationed in Taicheng, responsible for protecting the royal family and the Taisheng Yamen. They basically have no contact with the outside world."

"One hundred guards are responsible for monitoring the capital. Demons and monsters causing chaos, traitors plotting rebellion, witchcraft and sorcery... are all within their scope of investigation." Nangong continued:
"The rest are our Lingguang Guard and Zhiming Guard, each with 300 people. We use the Qinhuai River as the boundary and are responsible for exorcising demons and monsters throughout the capital, as well as various cases involving supernatural powers and demons. Sometimes, when a major case involving supernatural powers occurs in a local area, the emperor will also send us to investigate."

Ren Yuan and the other two nodded. They had a deep understanding of the last point.
