Chapter 74: The friendship boat can capsize at any time
Bang.
A muffled sound.
Ge Wanshan didn't move at all and even closed his eyes.
"Yes, yes...that's right!"
"The power of the seventh level of enlightenment has increased by 20%!"
“Bending Wind Hand, is this the Bending Wind Hand?”
Looking at the fifty-year-old man's face full of enjoyment, Xu Chong felt a chill in his heart.
I know you are sighing about the Broken Wind Hand, but could you please not make that expression?
A captain of the Blood Robe Guard, a fifth-rank official, is acting like a fucking zero...
"Ha ha ha ha……"
With a loud laugh, Duan Yuanming floated down and landed beside Ge Wanshan: "Congratulations, Captain Ge."
"You are too polite, my Lord."
Ge Wanshan opened his eyes, his face filled with joy.
Xu Chong looked puzzled.
He guessed that exposing the Broken Wind Hand would improve his status in the Blood Robe Guards and attract attention.
But now it seems that it is far more complicated than that.
"It seems that Mr. Xu doesn't know the specialness of the martial art of Wind-Breaking Hand?"
Duan Yuanming asked, his expression showing obvious kindness.
"I only know that the Wind-Bending Hand was invented by the Commander-in-Chief."
Xu Chong replied, "I heard from Captain Fu that most of the Blood Robe Guards would exchange for this martial art, but..."
Xu Chong didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Duan Yuanming added it directly.
"It's just that they haven't mastered it yet, right? There's nothing wrong with that."
Duan Yuanming smiled, seeming to be very patient, "However, you only know one side of the story, if you can practice the Wind-Breaking Hand to a high level..."
"As long as the increase reaches 60%, it will be considered advanced. At that time, you will have the opportunity to become the commander-in-chief's last disciple!"
Ge Wanshan rushed to speak, his expression extremely excited, "Closed-door disciple, what does that mean? The Blood Robe Guard has thirty-five divisions and four hundred thousand households under its jurisdiction, with a total of more than four hundred thousand people who all practice the Wind-Breaking Hand. So far, how many people have been able to become closed-door disciples?"
“…”
Xu Chong's mouth gradually opened wide, and then he shook his head repeatedly: "I dare not have such extravagant hopes. I practiced the Wind-Breaking Hand because I don't have any extra contributions. I can only practice it first. After a few months, I have only gained a glimpse of the basics..."
Before you have absolute strength, you will never enter the sight of the strongest.
This was something he had decided long ago.
"Just a glimpse of the secret?!"
Ge Wanshan's tone rose a few notches. "Even if it's the simplest martial art, it's amazing to be able to get a glimpse of it so quickly. You're practicing the Wind-Breaking Hand, and you're still not satisfied?"
"No, Zhe Feng's subordinates have continued to practice, but they have never made any progress."
Xu Chong touched his nose helplessly, "Maybe my aptitude is too poor, I have reached the limit of my training..."
"I know you are poorly qualified."
Ge Wanshan waved his hand and interrupted Xu Chong, "Without your father's medicine, you can't reach the seventh level of enlightenment. But for things like martial arts, the technical level doesn't depend on aptitude, but on understanding!"
After hearing this, Xu Chong felt a little depressed.
The idea of laying the foundation for the great medicine was speculated by Zhou Ze, and it is just a speculation until now.
But Ge Wanshan's tone was so firm, as if he had solid evidence.
Is this the Blood Robe Guards’ intelligence network ?
"As for your failure to make any progress, that's normal. Martial arts are not something you can practice forever just because you have a good understanding. It depends on luck and sudden inspiration."
Ge Wanshan said, patting Xu Chong on the shoulder, "Trust me, keep practicing. Think about it, if you become the commander-in-chief's last disciple, the aptitude issue... will it still be a problem?"
Duan Yuanming also patted Xu Chong on the shoulder and said, "When the time comes, maybe Captain Ge and I can also benefit from it?"
"Thank you both for your appreciation. I will not slack off!"
Xu Chong was flattered and nodded in agreement.
"Um."
Duan Yuanming nodded and looked at Ge Wanshan, "I will go back to the government office first."
"I'll see you off."
Ge Wanshan winked at Xu Chong and walked out with Duan Yuanming.
The rest of the people looked at each other.
"What are you standing there for? The captain's assessment is continuing. Restart the time."
Kou Ruohai's depressed voice sounded.
He had already come down from the platform when Ge Wanshan floated down.
The big guys are all down there, who are you going to put on the stage?
But what happened next made Kou Ruohai so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
As an examiner, it was actually he who arranged for Xu Chong to be targeted.
But he could never have imagined that he had only agreed to a harmless request from his colleague, but it would lead to such an eye-popping thing as the Wind-Breaking Hand!
Now that even the Lord of the Mansion and the Captain value this kid so much, how should I behave and work in the station in the future?
Yang Xiong, you bastard, I will never forgive you!
Kou Ruohai cursed in his heart, forced a smile uglier than crying on his face, and walked towards Xu Chong.
Before he could figure out how to start, Xu Chong asked first: "General, my assessment..."
"Of course I passed it."
Kou Ruohai said weakly.
What's the point of taking an exam at this time? If Xu Chong is injured, how will the captain explain it?
"Whether you believe it or not, I just want to scare you and make you give up..."
Kou Ruohai explained it and then sold Yang Xiong out directly.
The boat of friendship can capsize at any time.
The five captains were worrying about how to resolve their grudges, and after hearing what Kou Ruohai said, they all quickly spoke up to express their opinions.
"Yes Yes Yes……"
"That's it!"
"General Kou has instructed us to show mercy if you insist on the test... Uh, I'm not saying you can't beat us..."
"Really? I was just trying to scare you. I didn't mean to do anything wrong. This is the old rule of the Blood Robe Guards."
"Yes, yes, old rule, scare the newcomers."
“…”
The five people spoke one after another, trying their best to deny that they had ever had the intention to kill.
Xu Chong was too lazy to bother with a group of minions. He looked at Kou Ruohai and asked, "To be honest with you, sir, I know very little about the Blood Robe Guards. I don't know what I need to do after becoming a small flag?"
Kou Ruohai was about to answer when a voice suddenly rang out.
"Become a flag?"
Yang Xiong poked his head out from the third floor of the East Building, his expression puzzled, "Have you passed the assessment?"
The thief came just in time!
Kou Ruohai's mind moved, and he spoke before Xu Chong: "Yes, Xu Chong has passed the assessment, and is asking me what Xiaoqi should do. Since he is under your command, why don't you tell him."
“…”
Yang Xiong choked and flew down.
After looking at Xu Chong twice, his face turned ugly.
After learning about Xu Chong's true background, he made it clear to Kou Ruohai that he did not want Xu Chong to become a small flag.
At that time, Kou Ruohai agreed.
Although no one knew why Kou Ruohai suddenly changed his mind, Xu Chong's clothes were clean and tidy, and it was clear that he did not look like he had been in a battle.
If you want to regret it, then regret it. What the hell do you mean by letting Xu Chong pass?
What? We hit it off right away?
"Sir Kou, although I am the one who brought Xu Chong here, we still have to go through the proper procedures. This is the rule of the Blood Robe Guards."
Yang Xiong stared at Kou Ruohai with a bad look on his face.
"I know, I just followed the assessment process. Not only that, I also increased the difficulty."
Kou Ruohai shrugged his shoulders. "Five people at the fifth level of enlightenment are no match for him. If he can't raise the small flag, I'm afraid the other small flags will have to resign immediately."
As he said this, he glanced at the five captains beside him.
The five people's faces suddenly turned bitter.
They were not stupid and knew that it was Kou Ruohai who was trying to trick Yang Xiong.
But the problem is that they are just captains, and they don’t even know when their small flags will be promoted, so how dare they get involved in the feuds between the general flags?
So they could only smile and look away, looking very ashamed.
“…”
Yang Xiong's eyes flickered between the few people, feeling unhappy.
No matter what, Kou Ruohai is the examiner of this group of people. If he insists on promoting Xu Chong to a small flag, he cannot change it.
but……
There are so many ways for a boss to make things difficult for his subordinates.
Thinking of Kou Ruohai's previous question, Yang Xiong suddenly smiled brightly: "Since you have become a small flag, there is a task for you."
"Please speak, sir."
Xu Chong nodded expressionlessly.
"Hold on."
Yang Xiong raised his hand and pressed it lightly, then turned around and shouted at the people who were still taking the test in the training ground: "Haven't you eaten yet? Try harder!"
As soon as the words fell.
Bang, bang, bang…
A dozen newcomers who took part in the assessment were knocked down instantly, bleeding from their mouths. They were afraid that they would never be able to get up again.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, not many people made it through this time."
Yang Xiong turned back with satisfaction, "As you can see, we are still short of about 20 men in this flag, and you are the only small flag. You will be responsible for this matter. Within a month, gather the remaining men."
“…”
Xu Chong looked unhappy.
On the way here, Yang Xiong had already complained to him about this, saying that in an area as large as Zhanghua Mansion, it was difficult to find fifty qualified awakened warriors.
I can’t even recruit a general flag. I just joined the Blood-Clothed Guards. Where can I recruit?
It's clearly a way to make things difficult.
Isn't it just because my qualifications are not as good as I imagined? Is it necessary to be like this?
Xu Chong's expression was slightly cold, and he said, "Sir, I have just joined the Blood Robe Guards, and I came from a small place. I don't know much about the various government offices and members of Zhanghua Prefecture, so I am afraid I can't handle this task ."
"Well, that can't be helped. If you complete it, you will be rewarded. If you fail to complete it, it will be a mistake. So you can just go back to where you came from."
In the front, there was the hatred for gambling; in the middle, there was the humiliation of being threatened by the unruly people; in the back, there was the hatred for being deceived.
It’s not that he wanted to kill Xu Chong, but Yang Xiong really didn’t want to see Xu Chong’s face again... He felt disgusted every time he saw it.
"Master Yang, you are suspected of making things difficult for your subordinates by doing this. Isn't that a bad idea?"
Kou Ruohai suddenly interrupted.
At this moment, he felt relieved and couldn't wait to know what the scene would be like when Ge Wanshan found out.
I'll let you cheat me, but I'll kill you first!
"Make things difficult? Sir Kou, you are wrong."
Yang Xiong looked surprised and said in an exaggerated tone, "It is normal for a boss to give tasks to his subordinates. Besides, Xu Chong is so young, it is time for him to exercise his abilities . When he takes over my position in the future, he won't be so busy. Don't you think so?"
These two... are real tea.
Have I entered the tea garden?
Xu Chong was speechless for a while.
At this moment, Ge Wanshan came back pacing, "What is it?"
"Greetings, Master Qianhu."
Everyone saluted.
"No need to be so polite."
Ge Wanshan smiled and waved his hands, appearing to be in a good mood. "What did you just say?"
"Oh, that's it."
Yang Xiong was afraid that Kou Ruohai would throw dirty water on him, so he spoke first: "Among the people I brought back this time, there is one who passed the small flag assessment. I wanted to hand over the recruitment to him, but General Kou said that I was making things difficult for him."
"oh?"
Ge Wanshan raised his eyebrows and looked at Kou Ruohai: "The conscription is reasonable, why do you say he is making things difficult?"
"Because Xu Chong has just joined the Blood Robe Guard, he doesn't know much about the various government offices and members."
Kou Ruohai was holding back his evil intentions, and said righteously, "Yang Zongqi only gave him one month. If he fails to collect the vacancies within one month, he will expel Xu Chong from the Bloody Guards. This is a bit too harsh."
"harsh?"
Yang Xiong showed no fear, as if he was sure of victory. "Rewards should be given for meritorious service, and punishments should be given for faults. This is the rule of the Blood Robe Guards. If you fail to complete the mission, you will naturally be sent back to where you came from. That's too harsh..."
Snapped!
Before he could finish his words, Yang Xiong was slapped on the back of his head by Ge Wanshan.
"Go back to where you came from? Can you decide the appointment or dismissal of Xiaoqi?"
Ge Wanshan cursed and his face was extremely sour, "How about I give you my seat?"
Yang Xiong was completely stunned.
Indeed, at the level of a small flag, appointment and dismissal are in the hands of a thousand households.
But that's just in theory...
After so many years, whether to appoint or dismiss, isn't it all decided by the general flag? Have you ever asked?
"Go to the Third Black Prison and stay there for ten days before coming out."
Ge Wanshan gave the order coldly.
After confirming that Xu Chong had mastered the Broken Wind Hand, he was somewhat dissatisfied with what Yang Xiong had done to him.
But firstly, no one was killed, and secondly, if Xu Chong had not been targeted, he would not have been forced to use the Broken Wind Hand, so he did not intend to pursue the matter.
But Yang Xiong was actually still thinking about driving Xu Chong away?
If this were to get out, he would become the laughing stock of all the Blood-Clothed Thousand Households.
"third……"
Yang Xiong's face turned pale instantly, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He clasped his fists and went down.
The only question in his mind was when did he offend the chief commander...
After he left, Ge Wanshan's expression softened and he looked at Xu Chong: "He's just a small figure, don't bother with him."
Xu Chong heard the protective meaning in his words and nodded naturally, "Your Excellency is too kind. General Yang does not want to kill me, so I don't care."
"Not bad, very refreshing."
Ge Wanshan was becoming more and more satisfied with Xu Chong. "I've heard that Fu Yuanlong always praises you to everyone he meets. I didn't take it seriously at first, but now it seems to be true."
"Captain Fu...died tragically."
Xu Chong's face darkened for a moment, "I wish I could kill the thief with my own hands and avenge him."
"If you want revenge, you should practice the Wind-Breaking Hand."
Ge Wanshan said, and suddenly changed the subject: "From now on, you don't need to participate in ordinary tasks. Just focus on practicing martial arts. I will give the order."
"yes."
Xu Chong took the order and was overjoyed.
He never expected that he could gain such a privilege just by showing off his skills.
It’s just what I wanted!
Having a legitimate reason to stay in the institute means that he can maximize the efficiency of generating spiritual energy!
