Chapter 799 Chess Game
"Abdicate soon?" Jing Yuan heard this, a trace of helplessness and imperceptible fatigue in his eyes, "It's not the right time yet. If anything unexpected happens, I will have to bear the responsibility as a general. I can't just walk away and put Fu Qing in an unjust position!"
abdicate?
In fact, he had thought about abdicating directly, but right now, there was no suitable person on the Luofu Immortal Boat to take over his position, so he couldn't just run away.
Fu Xuan has good abilities, but his temper is too impatient. He is not suitable to be a general and still needs some training.
Yan Qing... He is still young, and all he thinks about is fighting and killing. Becoming the "Sword Master" earlier to gain his recognition is just as the saying goes.
There were three people, and Yan Qing couldn't beat any of them.
Now his strength is still not enough to become the Sword Master...
Thinking of the woman's figure in his mind, Jing Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone envies the general, but only he understands how tiring this position is.
If it weren't for the fact that Luofu's potential had not yet grown up, he would have probably given up long ago and become depressed.
However, for Fu Xuan, what Jing Yuan said was more like an excuse, an excuse for not wanting to abdicate.
So Fu Xuan said with some dissatisfaction: "If you had handed the Star Core Hunter to me earlier, how could I be in such trouble now?"
Having said that, as if he had thought of a possibility, Fu Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately looked at Jing Yuan with some suspicion.
"Come to think of it, with your ability, he shouldn't... Wait! What on earth are you thinking, Jing Yuan?! Could it be... that you deliberately let the enemy escape?"
Jing Yuan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but his nearly 800 years of career had made him very good at acting.
So he walked away very naturally, without looking at Fu Xuan.
"How could this be possible? I don't have the ability to predict the future like Fu Qing, but the Cloud Cavalry Army failed to take good care of the situation, so I am indeed responsible."
Fu Xuan stared at Jing Yuan's face suspiciously, not seeing any movement on his face, and nodded thoughtfully.
Although she didn't understand what was going on, she was still very satisfied and recognized Jingyuan's words of praise.
Because she thought so too.
"Hmph~" Fu Xuan snorted proudly, "I can understand. The affairs of the Immortal Boat are busy, and you are bound to be exhausted. If I wasn't there to support you..."
"Speaking of which, the next time the Six Imperials meet, you should fulfill your promise to recommend me as general, right?"
At this point, Fu Xuan was staring at Jing Yuan closely, fearing that this guy would find another excuse to refuse to abdicate.
Jing Yuan smiled when he heard this, as if he was looking at his disobedient daughter and said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, got it."
"I have something important to do. From now on, I will leave everything to the "gifted" Fu Qing."
Fu Xuan's temperament is indeed like that of a little girl. When she heard Jing Yuan's words, she didn't think that the other party was perfunctory, so she nodded with satisfaction and turned off the communication projection.
Seeing Fu Xuan leave, Jing Yuan sighed deeply, and a look of fatigue appeared on his face.
"The troubles on the fairy boat, the documents on the desk, and the weeds in the flowerbed, these are the only three things that cannot be cleaned up no matter how hard you try..."
The trouble on the Immortal Boat refers to those who covet the Immortal Boat, or the malicious gazes of outsiders.
The documents on the desk were some bad things that happened on the fairy boat, which required him to deal with personally, but he couldn't solve them all.
As for the weeds in the flowerbed… they were naturally the followers of “The Ancestor of Longevity and Plague” who were hiding in the fairy boat and making a mess of this beautiful fairy boat.
This time he deliberately let the Star Core Hunter escape. His purpose was to use the existence of the Star Core Hunter and the new train crew members to form an additional force to draw out all the troubles hidden in the dark and then destroy them in one fell swoop.
He is already old and is about to die. If he cannot cure all the chronic problems of the Immortal Boat before leaving, he can hand over a clean and complete Immortal Boat to the next comer.
If he could do this, he could die with peace of mind.
Yan Qing, who was not far away, couldn't help but find it a little funny when he heard what Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan were talking about.
"General, everyone knows that Fu Taibu wants to take your place."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan glanced sideways, and there was a hint of impatience on the boy's green face.
"She has decent abilities, but she still needs to sharpen her mind. When her stubbornness is tempered, I will probably consider retiring."
Yan Qing nodded as if he understood, his tone mixed with the arrogance of a young swordsman.
"The matter of the star core is not a big deal. If the person escapes, we can just catch him back."
Having said that, he also showed his eagerness to try.
He was accepted as a disciple by Jing Yuan in his early years, and he always dreamed of becoming the Luofu Sword Master. However, Jing Yuan never gave him a chance to show his talent, saying that he had to hide it well...
The trouble that had now occurred on the Immortal Boat gave him a glimmer of hope.
"General, as long as you give me an order, I, Yan Qing, will immediately help you solve your problems!"
Solve problems? There are five people, three of them are strong. Yanqing, you can't beat any of them!
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Jing Yuan was still very satisfied with Yan Qing's talent, so he said some words to comfort him.
"Yanqing, I know you are anxious, and I know what you want to do and achieve, but now is not the right time. If you want to become the "Sword Master", you must not act recklessly, especially not fight with serious criminals."
This statement was both to comfort Yan Qing and to hint at the other party.
Blade's strength is not simple. If it was in the past, it might not be strong, but now...
Yanqing is still young and cannot defeat Ren.
After hearing this, Yan Qing naturally understood part of the meaning of Jing Yuan's words. His expression changed slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes.
"General, do you think I will lose to that blade?"
Jing Yuan felt something was wrong and knew that Yan Qing's stubborn temper had come out, so he spoke to appease him again.
"That's not the case, Yanqing. Immortal Boat Peace is different from swordsmanship. It can only be achieved by taking it step by step. Moreover, there are still hidden tricks in this chess game that have not been revealed..."
In order to appease Yan Qing, Jing Yuan also revealed some of his plans.
"There is a puzzle. Until it is solved, the chess game cannot be changed at will..."
"Do you know what a "star core" is?"
"Regarding the 'star core', how it escaped the deductions of the Tianbo Division and the Taibu Division and came to the Immortal Boat, and where it is hidden, these are all unclear questions."
However, Yan Qing's arrogance as a young genius came to the fore, and he said bluntly: "In my opinion, the fastest way is to capture both Star Core Hunters and send them to Fu Taibu for interrogation one by one."
"...I have entrusted this matter to the distinguished guest on the train. Don't be too busy now. You will have a place to use your skills later."
"You are the person I trust the most. There are some things that I can only feel at ease if I leave them to you..."
Jing Yuan didn't know that Yan Qing had turned and left after he said this.
Sometimes, when a young man becomes stubborn, even ten donkeys can’t pull him back.
"This child..." Jing Yuan sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "It's my fault. I always let this child stay at home. As expected, something will happen sooner or later."
"There has been three feet of water hidden in the box for a long time. When will it be able to test its sharpness?"
"This child needs to go out and see the world eventually, so let's take advantage of this opportunity..."
"I'm afraid this setback will overwhelm this child's spirit. If he loses his spirit..."
