In the Yangzhi Civil Affairs Hall, Civil Affairs Chief Zhu Xian was handling official duties. His secretary walked over quickly and said in a soft voice: "Chief Chief, there is a telegram to inform you of the Central City reception."

Zhu Xian stopped writing and asked: "Which Shangguan?"

"Chen Chuan, Director of Central City Defense Department."

"Sure enough, he's back."

Although Zhu Xian is the civil affairs chief of the edge city, he has always paid attention to the news in the central city. He has also received internal notices about important job adjustments in the central city.

The Director of the Defense Department is at the same level as the Central City Administrator, two levels higher than him.

He thought at that time that this person might come back to celebrate the New Year this year, so he had to make preparations in advance.

It's just that starting the arrangements early seemed a bit too flattering, and I'm afraid this person wouldn't like it, so he didn't make any big moves on the surface. He just ordered the trustworthy people below to do what should be done and what must be done.

Now it's really time to use it.

He looked at the telegram at this time. It was sent more than an hour ago. Calculating the distance, he was afraid that he would arrive in less than an hour.

With Chen Chuan's current status, no matter where he travels, he is supposed to notify the local area, but this time because it is not official business, if he had notified the local officials early, I am afraid that the local officials and the people below him would be tormented, but he remained silent.

It was not good either, so the summons was not sent until we were almost arriving in Yangzhi.

As for the identity of the fighter, after signing the agreement, he only needs to report to the Fighting Council wherever he goes. There is no need to alert the local government. Just like when Mr. Zhuan came to Yangzhi, it was also silent and would not let anyone know.

Others notice.

Zhu Xian then ordered his secretary, "Xiao Pan, call the following to greet Director Chen."

The secretary immediately said: "Okay, Chief Minister."

Half an hour later, in front of the family area of ​​the Yangzhi City Patrol Bureau, all street entrances in and around the area were under martial law and sealed.

Guan Yuming came here in person. The deputy looked around and said, "Director, is it necessary to do this? Director Chen may not like it."

Guan Yuming said: "We can just do what Zhu Zhengzhang has told us."

After waiting for a while, the car of the Civil Affairs Chief Zhu Xian also arrived, and with him came other main officials of the Civil Affairs Department. It can be said that except for those who maintain the operation of Yangzhi City, almost all other officials were present. Guan Yuming led

The people went up to meet him, then stood next to Zhu Xian, and they were all there together.

Wei Laohu stood in the crowd at the back, chatting with his colleagues. His voice was so loud that it seemed that he could be heard from two streets away. "My son will come back to see me this year. Hey, he won the prize this year."

It’s time to become a citizen of Central City!”

The captain at the back looked at his appearance and couldn't help but said: "Oh no, look at Wei Laohu's strength."

The person next to him said: "If my son had the identity of a citizen of Central City, I would be just like him."

"Is that his son's ability? Didn't he rely on Captain Nian's nephew?" At this point, the captain couldn't help but said, "Oh, Wei Laohu is really lucky. His son climbed up

Such a tall branch!"

At this time, everyone looked at Wei Laohu in the distance with envy in their hearts. Why didn't their juniors get involved in such a good thing?

The news that Chen Chuan became a martial artist has actually been spread for a while, but the response was actually not big. There are fighters in Yangzhi City, most of them are in the first or second level, and there are a few third level ones in Wuyi Academy and patrols.

However, outsiders don't know how strong it is if they don't take action at ordinary times. As for going up again, they have no specific idea.

But they can understand the position. It is said that Chen Chuan's position is now much higher than that of Zhu Xian, the Chief of Civil Affairs. This is a real high official.

Behind the street, not far from the family area, Nian Fuli and Yu Wan were standing there with Nian Lu and Nian Mo. Although it was winter, luckily there was no wind today and the sun was very bright, so they did not feel cold.

.

Not far away from them, there were many neighbors looking around, all looking at their family with envy.

Over the years, every time Chen Chuan came back to visit the Nian Fuli family, he brought many topics to the neighbors. The discussions often stopped for half a year, but not long after, the discussions would start again, and they would be more and more shocked.

The situation this time was beyond their imagination. Many of them were extremely excited and acted more excitedly than anyone else, as if they were Chen Chuan's relatives.

Nian Mo looked at the lively discussion in the distance, raised his head and said, "Dad, with so many people coming to pick up my cousin, has my cousin been promoted to a high official again?"

Nian Fuli sighed: "Your cousin is very capable." He lowered his eyes and curled his lips and said: "Don't look at your father. Look at the front. They are all people a few ranks higher than your father and me. Today we will not

Are they all here? So, they are all the same."

Nian Mo said: "Dad, if I become a high official one day, I will definitely let you stand at the front when I come back."

Nian Fuli gently patted the back of his head and said with a smile: "You bastard, what are you talking about? As a son, you still want me to come to greet you? No matter how promising you are in the future, you will still be your father!"

Nian Mo hugged his head and said, "Dad, don't hit me on the head. If you hit me again, I will become stupid."

"Stupid? I think you are too smart. Go back and give me today's homework. Don't miss a word!" "Dad~"

Yu Wan smiled and watched the father and son talking, and then looked ahead. She just thought in her heart, Chan'er has achieved so much today, so she won't disappear suddenly like her second sister, right? Thinking of this,

Her arms unconsciously hugged her children tightly.

Suddenly there was a shout from the front: "Here we come!"

The noisy surroundings suddenly quieted down, and the whole street was silent from beginning to end.

Everyone was originally craning their necks to look at the road, but soon someone pointed up and said, "Over there!"

When they looked up, they saw a black spot appearing in the sky. As the black spot got closer, they could see that it was a silver airship, and they could faintly hear the sound of propeller blades.

Then they saw that there was actually more than one airship, and there were two small airships behind it. It was just that the airship in front was too big, so the two airships behind seemed so inconspicuous.

At this time, Zhu Xian's secretary quickly came to the Nian Fuli family, leaned down and said: "Captain Nian." He nodded to Wan, "Mrs. Nian, I am the secretary of Chief Zhu. Just call me Xiao Pan. Chief Commander, please

Let me tell you that it has been confirmed that the person arriving by airship is your nephew, Director Chen. Do you want to go to the front..."

Nian Fuli hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I'd better not go." Yu Wan said from the side: "Thank you, Secretary Pan, our family is here, and it's good to stand with the neighbors.

Secretary Pan, please make a trip."

Secretary Pan understood that this family did not want to show off, but just wanted to keep a low profile. He smiled and said: "To put it seriously, I am just an errand boy. Isn't this what I should do? This is not comparable to that of Captain Nian."

Thank you for your hard work. Chief Zhu has seen all the heavy responsibilities the patrol bureau has shouldered over the years. You two, I'll leave first."

When Secretary Pan left, Yu Wan teased Nian Fuli and said, "Old man, if you don't go up, it's not like you."

Nian Fuli glared, "Who am I?" When he lowered his head, he saw Nian Mo and Nian Lu looking up at him, but when they saw that his eyes were about to glare, they quickly lowered their heads.

Yu Wan patted him and said angrily: "Why are you scaring a child for nothing? How about showing off your official authority? Go ahead, there are many people who can curry favor with you."

Nian Fuli took off his hat, touched his stubble-covered scalp, and said helplessly: "I really think so, I just thought, Xiao Chuan is already so popular, we shouldn't be too high-profile, otherwise it won't be popular by then.

The smelly ones are all gathering in front of our house? Besides, we can’t do anything to help Xiao Chuan, and we can’t be a burden to him, right?”

Yu Wan looked at him and said, "Old man, what you say is reliable."

Nian Fuli let out a laugh, patted his hat, put it on again, and straightened his back, "When has my Nian Fuli ever been unreliable?"

Yu Wan reached up and helped Nian Fuli straighten his hat, straightened his collar, patted the dust gently, and hummed. The two little guys looked at them and squeezed their little heads into their arms.

squeeze.

At this time, everyone's eyes continued to zoom in on the leading airship. They looked at the surrounding objects for reference, and then they saw that this airship was actually surprisingly large. It could not be more than two to three hundred meters in front and back. There was no anchor tower here.

So we can only clear the entire street first.

After a while, the airship arrived above the street, the sound of the propeller blades buzzing, and the air flow caused the surrounding leaves to sway.

In the eyes of everyone, the three airships slowly descended, and the sound became louder and louder, causing the people to cover their ears.

After descending to a height of about ten meters, a rope ladder was first lowered from the combat airship, and then armed personnel with guns and live ammunition descended from the top one by one, and quickly stood at both ends of the street.

At this time, a ten-meter-long lifting plate cracked open below the large airship, detached from the top, and then slowly sank downwards under the action of the thick retracting and retracting cables.

The sunshine at noon was very dazzling, and the reflection on the airship was also very bright. If you squinted, you could vaguely see many figures standing above. Not long after, the elevator plate fell to the ground, throwing out a cloud of dust.

Chen Chuan straightened the brim of his hat and straightened the uniform of the Director of Defense on his body, then stepped out and walked out. The sunlight shone down, and the copper buttons and epaulettes on his body shone.

Behind him, Wei Changan, Wu Han, Feng Xiaoqi, Luo Kaiyuan and others followed him one by one. All of them were wearing straight uniforms of the Bureau, and their boots made a neat crunch when they moved.

sound.

This scene made everyone present hold their breath, because the sense of oppression brought by their group was too strong, especially Chen Chuan, who seemed to have no special posture, but when the tall and straight figure walked towards them

When they came over, they still felt nervous unconsciously.

Civil Affairs Chief Zhu Xian took a deep breath, stepped forward on his numb feet, and led a group of people forward to greet Chen Chuan. When he came to Chen Chuan, he looked at Chen Chuan, who was half a head taller than him, and piled up

Smiling, he bowed slightly, stretched out his hands to hold them, and shook them vigorously.

"Director Chen, welcome back to Yangzhi."
