Chapter 351: Chapter 297: Someone Wants to Present a Treasure to the General (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

She didn’t say anything, her head bowed, forcibly holding back tears as she removed a bright silver bracelet engraved with runes from her wrist, feeling somewhat reluctant.

This was the pass that allowed entry into the mountain’s forbidden areas.

But then, she saw Chief Clerk Liu wave his hand, drawing the bracelet into his grasp, and with a stroke of his hand, he tossed a slip of paper towards her.

"Go to the storeroom and claim some Silver Coins, this is a token of generosity from the Chief Administrator." Saying this, he clasped his hands towards the direction of the mountain with a respectful and somewhat proud expression on his face,

"Now, as a General stationed at Jinguan, he deals with a myriad of important tasks daily, and you old servants are no longer suitable to stay here. I believe you understand that since the General’s arrival, he has not summoned you to serve him, which clearly indicates an issue. Don’t blame the Chief Administrator for not considering past relations."

Having said this, the secretary, holding the bracelet, got up and walked towards the rear hall.

The slip of paper simply floated down, drifting, and landed on the ground.

Miss Xiao He fumbled several times, unable to catch it, and finally squatted down, her tears betraying her and falling.

Once she had somewhat recovered her composure, she picked up the slip from the ground, and at this moment, several figures walked out from the rear hall.

"Wen Jin, thanks a lot!"

"Xiao Ya, thank your Uncle Zhang."

"Xiao Ya thanks Uncle Zhang."

Then emerged from inside a middle-aged Armored Soldier clad in Green Armor, beside him was a delicate-looking young girl, who graciously bowed to a middle-aged man across, who had a jovial expression and a somewhat bloated figure, dressed in green bird attire.

This man in green bird attire was none other than Zhang Wenjin, the Chief Administrator of Internal Affairs Department of the Ninth Mountain, with Body Spinning Peak Cultivation, and behind him was the just-mentioned Chief Clerk Liu.

At this moment, Chief Administrator Zhang, looking quite pleased with himself, nodded and with the tone of instructing his juniors, said:

"When you go up the mountain, observe and listen well. If you are summoned by the General, you must be clever and sensible, and leave a good impression on the General."

"Thank you Uncle Zhang for your guidance, Xiao Ya will surely do so."

"Good!" Chief Zhang nodded, his nose suddenly twitching as he caught a faint, alluring scent, then his gaze sharply turned, falling upon Miss Little He, who was squatting on the ground in the hall.

At this time, the little maid’s eyes were intently focused on the wrist of the young girl named Xiao Ya, who was wearing the pass that she had just handed over, her face brimming with a cheerful smile.

The answer was self-evident.

Just as she was lost in thought, a cold rebuke brought her back to her senses.

"You, what’s in your bag?"

As she spoke, the little maid felt a force from behind pulling her forward, causing her to rub against the cold, hard floor, and her whole body ached.

Her bundle, seized by Chief Administrator Zhang, was then torn open with a "rip", and the contents spilled out. A golden light flew from the midst and was captured by Chief Zhang.

Looking down, he saw in his hands a piece of meat that flickered with golden radiance. His expression changed in an instant,

"Heavenly Pass Demon Blood Meat!"

His gaze then intensified, landing on the maid Miss Little He who had fallen on the ground, his voice sharp.

"Where did you get this from?"

"You’d better confess."

Chief Administrator Zhang was surprised and recognized Miss Little He, knowing that a maid of her status couldn’t have access to such a thing. How did this girl get it? Could it be stolen?

Maid Xiao Ya, upon hearing the words "Heavenly Pass Demon Blood Meat", also showed a startled look. Did those two little creatures really send her something so precious?

She felt the pressing gaze of the Administrator, her complexion paled, her lips muttered an explanation, but then she thought that if she revealed the truth, those two little creatures would likely suffer, so she closed her mouth again.

Seeing the maid refuse to speak, Chief Administrator Zhang’s face darkened, and he called out loudly to the outside,

"Guards!"

At once, the sound of rushing Armored Soldiers filled the outside.

Xiao Ya was terrified, her complexion deathly pale, kneeling on the ground, clutching her torn bundle in a state of panic.

At that moment,

"Squeak, squeak"

Two strange cries rang out, immediately followed by two dark figures suddenly appearing in the hall, stirring the snow and wind outside, accompanied by a whistling sound as they charged towards Chief Administrator Zhang.

After several dull thumps of clashing palms erupted,

Two streams of black air transformed into whirlwinds, landing next to Miss Little He who was surrounded in the middle, revealing two beaver-like creatures, one of which was still holding the shiny golden piece of Demon Blood Meat, and both hopping towards the little maid, calling out to her.

At this time, Chief Administrator Zhang, who was pushed back a few steps by the sudden black wind, seeing this scene, immediately became furious,

"Damn it!"

"Why are there Demons here?"

Speaking, and with cold voice looking at the maid and the two seemingly doltish river beavers,

"Such audacity, colluding with demons, execute them right here and now."

At his command, the hall filled with the sound of drawing swords, and killing intent surged from all corners.

Just then, outside the hall, a faint chiding was heard,

"Put away your swords."

Although the voice was soft, it carried a convincing and awe-striking power.

Following which, a foot stepped into the hall.

Everyone turned towards this newcomer, their faces instantly revealing shock.

"Military Adviser Gao!"

The entering Armored Soldiers knelt and bowed their heads, and Chief Zhang and the Green-armored Soldier who accompanied him promptly paid their respects.

It was Gao Yu.

Gao Yu originally had no need to personally intervene for a mere maid, but the Contracted Demon under the General’s command was rather anxious.

"Military Adviser Gao, you’ve come at the perfect time, this demon..."

Chief Zhang had just started to speak in a stern voice when he was lightly glanced at by Gao Yu,

"Shut up."

"Let this maid return."

His lips barely moved.

The next second, Chief Zhang, originally full of vigor, suddenly turned pale, his gaze turning to the two doltish creatures, trying to force a smile on his pale face, but the smile looked hideous.

"You go up the mountain later, you’re an old hand at this, don’t you know subordinates shouldn’t be too opinionated? Otherwise, people die." Gao Yu snorted coldly, merely giving a light scolding but not saying more to avoid overstepping, then glanced at the Green-armored middle-aged man beside Zhang Wenjin.

It was a Households Commander from the Sixth Mountain Bow Sky Station!

Zhang Wenjin shivered in fright, wanting to explain.

"I..."

Eventually, he lowered his head, "Yes, sir!"

Gao Yu no longer paid him any mind; instead, he looked towards the two grinning river beavers with a smile, "The matter is settled, it’s time for you both to leave."

The "Baben Brothers" squeaked twice, nodded, and turned into a blur of black wind as they left the hall.

Gao Yu, seeing this, also shuddered his feet and left the place.

After their departure, Chief Zhang immediately turned around, frantic on his face, "Commander Niu, I can’t help you with your business."

Saying so, he grabbed a silver bracelet from the wrist of the girl named Xiao Ya, and amidst her cries of pain, he took it off, then hurriedly stepped over to where the confused maid, Little He, was standing, his face the image of unspeakable distress:

"Miss Xiao He, you cannot leave, the Internal Affairs Department really needs you right now."

Then, turning his head towards the dazed Chief Clerk Liu behind him, he barked,

"What are you spacing out for, go call back everyone who left!"

At this moment, standing on the corridor outside of the Internal Affairs Department, Gao Yu could hear the commotion from inside, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled.

This guy is overly ambitious, daring to exchange and insert people into the Ninth Mountain without reporting to the Main General, oblivious to his own limitations.

It was then that he prepared to return to the mountain to report, taking a leap, ready to soar toward the mountain.

Meanwhile, nearby, a streak of light rose into the air, heading in the same direction.

He called out,

"Yun Piaoqi!"

The speeding figure of light flew towards him, revealing itself as Yun Tiansheng.

"Military Adviser Gao!" Yun Tiansheng bowed in respect.

"Are you in a rush to see the General for something important?" asked Gao Yu.

"There’s a nosy old man at the foot of the mountain who says he has a treasure to offer to the General!" Yun Tiansheng spoke with a strange tone.

As the two were conversing, at that time, outside the camp of the Ninth Mountain, stood a disheveled old man with a nose reddened by drink, happily guzzling from his wine gourd, and beside him, a Silver-haired Girl standing amidst the whirling snow, like a Fairy, aloof from the world.

"Crazy old man, what treasure do you have?"

"That Colonel is quite daunting, shall we leave instead?"
