Looking at the secret letter in his hand, Fan Zhengheng couldn't calm down for a long time.
“The game at the top is so intense!”
There were only a few lines in the secret letter, but it revealed an extraordinary signal.
According to his previous judgment of the situation, the most suitable candidate for the position of commander of Fusidu in Liyang Town should be Mangdao Chen Ping'an. The first is Chen Pingan's contribution, the second is Chen Pingan's talent, and the third is Chen Pingan's combat power that is close to the Dragon and Tiger Ranking.
Apart from a slight lack of qualifications, there is nothing else to criticize.
And this point, with the Gu family's influence in the Fusi Prefecture, can be easily solved and the impact eliminated.
But now that the appointment was issued, it greatly exceeded his expectations.
The candidate who was promoted to the commander of the Fusi capital of Liyang Town was not Mangdao Chen Ping'an, but Xue Mingde.
The most noteworthy thing about this matter is that Xue Mingde already served as the commander of Qiyun Town Fusi, so transferring him to Liyang Town Fusi makes no sense at all.
Not only is it meaningless, from the perspective of actual interests, this matter is actually a slight loss for Xue Mingde.
Qiyun County is located in a pass and is far more prosperous than Liyang County. From the perspective of benefits, it is undoubtedly more cost-effective to serve as the commander of Qiyun Town Fusidu. But under such circumstances, Xue Mingde would rather sacrifice his interests and transfer to Liyang.
In addition, something rather strange is that Xue Mingde's transfer and Wang Lingzhi's promotion were announced at the same time.
Wang Lingzhi, Qiyun Town Fusi, has been serving as the deputy capital commander for several years. Qiyun County is a large county, and there are three deputy commanders in the Zhenfu Division. After Xue Mingde was transferred, Wang Lingzhi was not the only candidate for promotion. But the fact is that Wang Lingzhi got the greatest benefit from the person Xue Mingde transferred.
Whether it is Xue Mingde or Wang Lingzhi, Fan Zhengheng is very familiar with them. The former is from the Canglong Xue family, and the latter is from the Canglong Wang family. And it just so happened that Chen Ping'an was attracted by Canglong's Gu family, and he was half a member of the Gu family. In the secret letter, both King Xue and King Xue had missions, but there was no news about Chen Ping'an, who had been the most vocal in the rumors.
With so many entanglements, this matter is thought-provoking.
Fan Zhengheng roughly guessed some clues in his mind, but he was on the outside and had incomplete information. Many things were just guesses.
The Xue family and the Wang family have joined forces to suppress the Gu family.
Of course, the game between aristocratic families is not that simple. It's all about you and me, entangled with each other and entangled. In fact, the entanglements in the game are infinitely complicated, and the secret exchanges and tricks are countless.
"Judging from the results known so far, the Gu family has lost this battle over the appointment of the aristocratic family!" Fan Zhengheng shook his head and sighed. "Chen Ping'an is a disaster, and he failed to take advantage of this wave of east wind."
According to common sense, Chen Pingan, as the new star of Zhenfusi, has many merits, and his promotion to the commander of Liyang Zhenfusi is almost the same. But I never thought that the current situation was unfavorable and Bronze would lose this position! The position of commander of Liyang Town and Fusi was eventually lost to another family!
Who would have thought that the Xue family would rather sacrifice part of their own interests to block the candidate recommended by the Gu family. The most important thing is that the Wang family also participated in this matter and enjoyed the transfer of part of the Xue family's interests.
It’s really time, destiny, and luck!
Fan Zhengheng sighed again, a mysterious light flashed between his eyebrows, and the secret message in his hand seemed to be swallowed up by invisible flames, and instantly turned into curls of white smoke, dissipating in the air.
"Xue Mingde from Qiyun Town Fusi was transferred to Liyang as the capital commander! Mangdao Chen Pingan failed to be promoted!?"
At the same time that Fan Zhengheng received the secret letter, Qiankun Division Feng Chengxiu also received information about the appointment of the Canglong Prefecture Zhenfu Division.
The Qiankun Division monitors various places and naturally has an extremely sophisticated intelligence network. Some major news will basically go through the Qiankun Division. Naturally, they learned about this matter as soon as possible.
"Hahaha, so happy!" Feng Chengxiu's face was filled with joy, as if the long-standing block in his heart was completely shattered at this moment.
Because of Chen Pingan's incident, he didn't know how angry he was these days. Especially when he saw Chen Ping'an standing in the limelight and climbing higher and higher, he felt aggrieved. But now that the matter has come to an end, the grievances in his heart have finally found a way to be released, and he feels greatly relieved.
"Chen Pingan, you missed a good opportunity and failed to take advantage of the Gu family's success. If you want to be promoted again, it will not be that easy." Feng Chengxiu's face turned cold and he sneered.
Although the word "deputy commander" and "capital commander" are the same, they are actually very different. Sitting in the land of a county and holding the power of a county, this is such a high and powerful position.
The difference between the first-in-command and the second-in-command can only be understood by those who have been the first-in-command. The so-called one person is below and above ten thousand people. After all, there are checks and balances, and it is difficult to get what you want. But if you can become a feudal official, even if there are still constraints on your head, but in a county, you will be a well-deserved emperor. All the interests of the county must pass through you. Wealth, power, and reputation are like the tide, flowing towards you continuously. This type of experience is only imagined by outsiders.
"Chen Ping'an, Chen Ping'an! You think that by hanging on to the Gu family's lap, you will be able to run wild and rise to the top. But when all external forces are finally exhausted, this incident can be regarded as a good lesson for you! Don't think that you have the Gu family as your backer. Then everything will go as you wish, and everything will be satisfactory!" Feng Chengxiu's eagle-like attitude! A trace of contempt and sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "Chen Ping'an, you are young and proud. I thought that nothing in this world could stop the turbulence in your chest. But the reality is like this. I hope that the announcement of this appointment will not shock you. The heart of martial arts.”
Feng Chengxiu has been in a high position for decades, and has seen too many geniuses in the world. He encountered setbacks, his eyes dimmed, he lost the turbulence in his heart, and finally he was lost to everyone.
There are so many geniuses in the world. Countless geniuses rise like bright stars and fall like meteors.
I hope that Mangdao Chen Ping'an will also be one of these people.
Canglong Prefecture City, Gu family.
"Second uncle, don't worry. There is no such thing as everything going as you want in this world. Prince Xue and his family have been collaborating on this matter for many days, and it was suddenly launched. The responsibility is not yours." Gu Qingchan's delicate, soft, delicate and clear voice sounded in the pavilion. sounded.
"Qingchan, there is no need to comfort you. Liyang County has failed because I was not aware of it. Now that I think about it carefully, there are traces of the conspiracy between the Xue and Wang families. If I think more about it, this matter should be solved. Disappear in time, and if nothing happens, you can prepare a backup plan in advance." Gu Haoqing stood in the pavilion with his hands behind his hands, with a trace of invisible dejection on his body.
When the Fusi of Canglong Prefecture was deliberation and the candidate for the commander-in-chief of Fusi in Liyang Town was mentioned, he was still full of confidence and proposed to be promoted to the deputy commander of Fusi in Weishui Town, Mangdao Chen Ping'an.
He was well prepared for this matter, and even communicated with the Wang family in advance to reach an agreement. When he thought about it, this matter was a sure thing.
But the fact is that when he proposed candidates, he was strongly opposed by the master of the Xue family faction.
"This is inappropriate! The position of Commander-in-Chief is so high and powerful. It is so important. The prosperity and misfortune of millions of people in the county are all related to this. Although Mangdao Chen Ping'an is very talented, he is still young after all. It is not yet capable of controlling a place.”
"That's right! Mang Dao Chen Ping'an is still relatively young, and it is really inappropriate to be promoted to the position of commander of the capital and take charge of Liyang County rashly!"
"What Mr. Xue said makes sense! This fact is inappropriate!"
"."
Opposition comes one after another. Gu Hao had anticipated this situation early in the morning and was naturally prepared.
"Everyone, Chen Ping'an is a person who behaves in a measured way but has a gap in his chest. If you look at his past resume and examine it carefully, you can find this. Chen Ping'an started from a young age, starting from Nanquanli Lane in the south city of Weishui River. Although he is young, he has experienced more ups and downs along the way than some old-school fusi. Not as good as some young people who grew up in a greenhouse. In addition, when it comes to ability, no one is born with it. Pride and corresponding resources must be appropriately tilted, whether it is training opportunities or other things.”
Gu Haoqing was well-founded and spoke a lot eloquently, refuting all the objections present.
But he had already prepared, and the Xue family and others would naturally not object rashly without making any preparations. Seeing Gu Haoqing refute their reasons one by one, they changed their explanation.
"Mr. Gu's words make sense, but it's just that Mangdao Chen Ping'an has just been promoted to the deputy commander of Fusi in Weishui Town. If he is promoted again, not only will the promotion time be too close, but there will also be suspicion and risks of plundering the seedlings. I, Fusi, Canglong Prefecture Town, Pay attention to the cultivation of reserve talents and will It is indeed good to give young people opportunities, but the timing must be right and careful evaluation should be carried out. If you put down the burden too quickly and too early, I am afraid that the burden will be too heavy and too heavy, which will not only be useless, but also harmful and damage their future growth potential. This move is not worth the gain. "
Gu Haoqing responded calmly to such objections. He brought out many past deeds as testimony to Chen Pingan's ability, and also carefully listed the intervals between these events, and compared the intervals to prove Chen Pingan's rapid growth. Facts have proved that Chen Ping'an has come step by step, and now he has the ability to be a local official. Regarding the post of Liyang Town Fusi, Chen Pingan is already ready.
Gu Haoqing had been cultivating his energy for many years, and he said these words in a leisurely manner, which left many people present speechless. However, there are not without capable people among the grandmasters of the Xue family faction. An old man with a round belly said with a smile.
"It seems that Mangdao Chen Ping'an is indeed very capable. I have no objection to this. He was once ravaged by thousands of demons, with numerous demon shadows, and several cities were poisoned. The former commander of the capital also died unfortunately. At that time, the county was in the hands of all the demons. People are confused, turbulent, and their hearts are floating. It is necessary to have someone with strong fighting ability to take charge of Liyang. Only in this way can we calm the fear of tens of millions of people in the county, frighten the young people from all over, and make Liyang peaceful and peaceful. ”
The old man who spoke was a top master of the Xue family, named Xue Shijing, known as the Smiling Maitreya. Everyone has a smile on their face when talking to them, and they seem to be very easy to get along with. But whether he can get along well or not, maybe the souls who died in his hands will give the answer.
Seeing Xue Shijing speak, Gu Haoqing's face became more cautious. At this stage of communication, it has reached a critical moment. If Xue Shijing's words can be effectively refuted, then most of the matter will be settled.
"What Mr. Xue said is what Gu thought. People in Liyang County are in panic. It is precisely the people with strong fighting ability who need to be in charge. Only in this way can we frighten Xiaoxiao from all over the world and restore peace to Liyang." Gu Haoqing first catered to him with a smile on his face. Two sentences, Then the conversation changed and mentioned Chen Pingan: "Sanqi Mountain Ten Thousand Demons Encircled and Suppressed, Chen Pingan successively killed several elders of Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and one of them even had the Blood Demon Battle Ax, the top master of Ten Thousand Demons Sect."

"Master Gu, as far as I know, although the combat power of Chen Ping'an, the reckless swordsman, is stronger than the ordinary top, it cannot reach the power of the masters on the Dragon and Tiger List. Now, the situation in Liyang County is complicated, and the young people are ready to take action. Chen Ping'an's current strength may not be enough to intimidate all parties on his own."
"Lord Xue doesn't know something, but Chen Ping'an has actually joined the dragon-tiger battle force!" Gu Hao said with a graceful smile.
"Oh?" Xue Shijing looked strange and asked curiously: "Is this happening?"
"That's right, Sanqi Mountain was surrounded and suppressed by thousands of demons, and Chen Ping'an showed his strength on the Dragon and Tiger List!"
"I wonder what proof Mr. Gu has?"
"This matter was witnessed by Gu Qingchan, the Grandmaster of the Gu family, the Ice Soul Divine Needle, and there is absolutely no lie." Gu Haoqing said calmly. Then in front of many masters present, he described Chen Ping'an's use of the Soul-Severing Sword Technique, a sword that showed off the fighting power of the dragon and the tiger.
Chen Ping'an's mastery of the Soul-Destroying Sword Technique was well documented, and the master present did not question it.
"So that's it. I believe what Fairy Gu said, of course. I didn't expect Chen Ping'an, the wild sword, to have the strength of a dragon and a tiger. He is really formidable." Xue Shijing touched his round belly and said with a smile, Express approval of this matter.
Just when Gu Haoqing thought that Chen Ping'an's promotion was settled, Xue Shijing said the following words.
"It's just that Mangdao Chen Ping'an is still young. He enters the country too fast and may not be able to consolidate in time. The foundation may be insufficient. A sword with a dragon and a tiger does not mean that the sword with a dragon and a tiger may not be able to fight for a long time! Such a situation, if it is placed in Liyang , the uncertainty is too high, which is not what we want to see.”
Seeing Xue Shijing's change of tone, Gu Haoqing was about to explain, but was disrupted by the voice of the Wang family faction's master.
"Master Xue is right. Although Mangdao Chen Ping'an's talent is not bad, after all, given his age, and his advancement so fast, his foundation must be frivolous!"
"You all have come from that stage. You can advance so quickly and still maintain a solid foundation. Who among us can do it!?"
"That's right! Counting from the time when Chen Ping'an's cultivation reached the middle level of Xuanguang to the time when his combat power reaches Dragon Tiger, it only takes a few months. In such a short period of time, if you want to have such a rapid breakthrough, what is your foundation? Can it still be solid and stable?”
"Indeed! After breaking through the realm so quickly, I'm afraid it will take many years to re-consolidate the foundation before I have the opportunity to take a look at the realm of the Grandmaster."
"."
The grandmaster of the Wang family faction suddenly spoke, which caught Gu Haoqing off guard. Before today's deliberation, he had already reached a tacit agreement with the Wang family and agreed to promote Chen Ping'an. But now
The sudden backstab put Gu Haoqing at a disadvantage in the situation. Fortunately, he was not without backup options. Seeing the situation like this, he continued to reveal his trump cards. However, he had backup plans, and the Xue family and Wang family were also prepared.
During this period, even though there were many attempts by the masters of the Gu family faction, they were ultimately defeated by the conspiracy of the Xue and Wang families. The emergence of such a situation is inseparable from the Xue family's decision to sacrifice some of their own interests to prevent Chen Pingan's promotion.
If not, with the back-up tactics Gu Haoqing prepared at that time, even if the Wang family changes sides, they may not lose this game.
In the end, the appointment was settled with the approval of Ning Zhengyue, the deputy head of Canglong Prefecture Town Fusi and the master of the Five Thunder Transformers. Draw up the appointment documents and notify the Canglong Prefecture and the local governors, and the envoy Xian will hear about it!
Gu Haoqing's thoughts returned, and the look of dejection on his face became even more intense. Chen Ping'an's failure to be promoted is a minor matter, but the damage to the Gu family's prestige is a major matter.
Once this incident comes out, I'm afraid many people will pay attention to the latest situation between their aristocratic families and look forward to the Gu family's counterattack. According to common sense, the Gu family should have violently counterattacked, but now
Thinking of some situations in recent days, Gu Haoqing's eyes became a little more solemn.
"Qingchan, it's not that I'm worried, it's just that the Wang family suddenly switched sides. In addition to the influence of the Xue family, there may be other reasons." Gu Haoqing said worriedly.
"What does the second uncle mean?" Gu Qingchan's starry eyes trembled slightly, with a thoughtful look on her face, and she looked at Gu Haoqing not far away: "Bicang County Prince's Palace?"
"That's right. However, it may not necessarily be the intention of Bicang County Prince's Palace. It may be the attitude of the factions behind Bicang Prince and Grandson. They have been coveting the power of my Gu family for a long time and are trying to tie my Gu family into their chariot. Seeing that we have been delayed If we don’t make a decision, we may be using the power of the Xue and Wang family to force us to take a stand.”
"The battle for the throne is so dangerous. If you are not careful, you could overthrow the throne! Are the Xue family and the Wang family so easy to make a bet?"
"It's not necessarily a matter of betting, I'm afraid most people are waiting and watching. This time, there is definitely a profit to be made! There may be other reasons"
"This is reasonable. How can we easily get involved in the battle for the throne. However, with the attitude of the Xue and Wang family today, regardless of whether they have made a bet or not, I am afraid they have already made a faint judgment in their hearts."
"Yes, now it depends on the attitude of my Gu family. The king and grandson of Bi Cang are pressing so hard, what about the Qingcheng thing? And the family."
"Everything depends on the final decision of today's clan meeting!" Gu Qingchan was wearing a light blue dress, walking with pearls and a look of worry on her face.
Under the general trend, even top masters can hardly protect themselves.
