All of these together should last for a year and a half!

In that case, keeping the incense burner wouldn't be of much use, and he certainly wouldn't openly take it to the temple to steal incense. Keeping it in his possession would only be a disaster, so of course he wouldn't return it; he would have other uses for it!

Clean up the scene properly.

Chen Sanshi shouldered the furnace and headed straight into the city.

He was in charge of patrolling the city, so he knew exactly how many people were in each area. This is what is meant by "it's hard to guard against a thief within the family." He easily arrived in front of a huge mansion.

Even without a plaque hanging in front of the mansion, it was clear that it belonged to a wealthy family.

This is Cao Fan's residence.

Chen Sanshi planned to give him the incense burner with the blood-red mark as a gift.

Therefore, even if the person behind the scenes tries to find out, they can only find someone surnamed Cao.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy always had a eunuch at the Great Completion of Meridian Opening realm by his side, Chen Sanshi would have become a member of the Witch God Cult tonight and taken his life. It's just a pity that he had already struggled to deal with someone at the Lesser Completion of Meridian Opening realm, let alone someone at the Great Completion of Meridian Opening realm. He would have to wait until he had opened his own meridians before he could do that.

Speaking of which, this old eunuch didn't go with the war when he was protected by Sha Wenlong, since he didn't hold any official position and was simply the prince's attendant.

If the owner of the incense burner comes looking for them, they can simply take their lives, saving themselves a lot of trouble.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Sanshi also wanted to see who the people collecting incense were.

He leaped onto the roof and used his Qi Observation Technique to locate the eunuch at the Meridian Opening Realm. After confirming that the eunuch was resting, he went directly to the backyard.

The mansion was very large, and there was even a pond in the back garden.

Chen Sanshi gently submerged the incense burner in the water, then quietly left without making a sound.

He returned home, sat cross-legged on his bed, and began to play with the Xuanzhu, but did not rashly practice sword qi techniques.

From a purely sensory perspective...

The purple incense smoke can certainly replace spiritual energy to some extent, but what difference it will make after being absorbed into the body is unknown for now, so it's best not to do anything rash for the time being.

If all else fails, try asking your fourth senior brother.

The problem is that they don't know when they will return, and after the battle, Hai Dongqing went to find Ninth Senior Sister. Even if they had it, they wouldn't dare to use it to deliver messages about immortal techniques, since that's the capital city. If something goes wrong and it falls into the hands of the emperor's people, it would be a real problem.

In terms of proximity, we could try to subtly glean some relevant information from the Seeking Immortals Pavilion. There's still a transaction with them that hasn't been completed yet, so we should make time to go there.

"It seems like there aren't many incense sticks left..."

Holding the Xuanzhu, Chen Sanshi sensed that the incense inside was far less than he had imagined, giving the impression that someone had taken away some of his "stock."

That's normal; if someone collects it, someone else will naturally use it.

"Let's wait a bit!"

After a major battle, Chen Sanshi was able to rest for a few days.

Aside from practicing martial arts, Chen Sanshi spends his free time with his children.

Yunxi is such a sensible child, it's heartbreaking.

On the second day after arriving at the house, she got up earlier than Siqin and Mohua, ran to the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge for everyone, and then did laundry and cleaning...

Later, to prevent her from doing chores, they simply sent her to the governor's mansion for her early education.

Shake.

Another ten days or so have passed.

【Progress: 1855/2000】

In a little while, he will be able to achieve mastery of internal energy, and then he will be able to break through to open the meridians.

……

After breakfast, someone came to their door to inform them to assemble at the military town.

"Chihiro, what are you doing?!"

Chen Sanshi keenly sensed that the white horse beneath him was acting out.

"..."

"Okay, it's my problem."

Once master and pet understood each other, Chen Sanshi quickly realized that Qianxun was angry because he had broken his promise. He had promised to feed her spirit grains when they crossed the river, but he had eaten them all himself.

"I'll give it to you when I get back tonight. Okay, stop being stubborn and go now."

Chen Sanshi urged on, but before the horse could even kick off, he saw another familiar face.

"Master Chen!"

Zhao Zhao said sarcastically, "You really have a bad memory. You've been back for so many days, and you haven't even gone to see my daughter?"

"I'm just about to go."

Chen Sanshi had promised to share information with the other party and asked them to help find materials for bows and arrows. In addition, he had also planned to go there for the sake of incense offerings.

He said, "I'll trouble your daughter to wait for me tonight. Also, you little brat, be more polite when you talk to me in the future, or I might leave another scar on your face."

"you……"

Zhao Zhao wanted to retort, but remembering that this guy really dared to do it, she immediately wilted: "You wait, I'll get my revenge sooner or later!"

She left behind a harsh remark and then fled.

Chen Sanshi ignored her and rode Qianxun to the military camp to report for duty.

All the soldiers of the reserve battalion had assembled at the drill ground early in the morning.

The cleanup in Minnesota has also been completely quelled.

Lü Ji and his companions returned that very day.

today.

It was the day they would reward those who had contributed.

The Grand Eunuch Hou Bao stood on the high platform and personally read out the imperial edict.

Every survivor of the reserve battalion who returned alive received a reward.

The last one is Chen Sanshi.

"Chen Sanshi was promoted to the rank of Huaiyuan General of the third grade and appointed as a deputy general."

'That's it? ’

The group kneeling below were filled with unease.

Their master has made tremendous contributions, so why is this all the reward they received? Not even gold, silver, or a rank?

Before they could even wonder what was going on, Hou Bao continued:

"Furthermore, Chen Sanshi is hereby ordered to await further instructions in Liangzhou, and will be sent to the capital for official appointment and reward at a later date!"

He will be granted an official title and reward upon his arrival in the capital!

This……

What a great reward that must be!

Do I need to go to Beijing?

Going to the capital to meet the emperor and receiving an imperial decree to bestow honors are two completely different concepts.

"Brother Chen, it seems you're truly about to rise to the top in one leap..."

Yan Changqing sighed inwardly.

After the imperial edict was read aloud, everyone kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, we kowtow in gratitude for Your Majesty's grace! Long live the Emperor!"

"..."

"Eunuch Hou!"

Finding an opening, Chen Sanshi interjected, "I'd like to ask, what about the rewards for Lieutenant General Yu Song and Battalion Commander Qian Cheng?"

"Yu Song?"

After thinking for a moment, Eunuch Hou replied, "This man disobeyed orders on the battlefield. If it weren't for Lord Chen's intervention, Mingzhou would probably have been plunged into utter ruin!"

"The circumstances at the time were simply not suitable for attacking Yangchun Prefecture; it was definitely not a deliberate act of disobeying orders."

Chen Sanshi explained, "Moreover, this strategy was implemented after we discussed it together. If we have to talk about disobeying orders, then it was all of us who disobeyed orders together!"

"Correct."

Lu Shuhua was the first to agree, saying, "Eunuch Hou, what General Chen said is true."

In fact, they did not agree to cross the river at the time; they were completely disobeying orders under duress.
