Dark Fragrance City, north of the city.
This is where the base camp of the Secret Guards is located. The endless military camps are stationed outside the city, and they look like they have a solemn atmosphere.
The secret guards in Anxiang City are branches of the secret guards that manage affairs in the city.
They are under the jurisdiction of the Secret Guards and will return to the military camp when they are not on patrol.
Inside a very spacious building in the Chinese Army, there were a lot of people at this moment, and almost all the generals and commanders of the secret guard were here.
Among the four generals of the secret guard, two were in the early stage of breaking the realm, and the other two were in the stage of building the realm, including Zhou Sui.
The four generals plus the eight generals, there were originally twelve people in total, but the previous first general died and Zhou Sui was not here, so there were exactly ten people here.
The two generals from the early stage of the rift were sitting in chairs with their eyes closed and concentrating. The other general did not speak, but the seven governors gathered together and made some comments.
"Xu Dutong, the position of First Dutong this time should be yours, right?"
One of them had a fake smile on his face, but when they heard what he said, many people knew it well and their mood became a little complicated.
The person who spoke was called Gou Xin. Like Xu Chang, the Duong Duong opposite, he was a mutant in the late stage of realm building and the two strongest among the seven Dudus.
Now that the First Capital Commander is dead, a new First Capital Commander must be elected.
These two are the most powerful competitors for the new first capital.
Moreover, these two men are supported by two generals each, but the commander-in-chief has not expressed his position yet, so no one knows who will be the final winner.
Therefore, when everyone heard Gou Xin's words, they all knew that what he said was ironic, and the purpose may be to test the attitude of his competitors.
"Haha, if there is support from Gou Dutong, then Xu will have no choice but to do his part."
Xu Chang was also smiling but when he heard the name from his mouth, Gou Xin's face darkened instantly.
Due to the special nature of the surname "Gou", in the secret guard army, except for those immediate superiors, no one else would call him "Gou Dutong", because it has nothing to do with "Gou Dutong" the difference.
Others would call him "Xindutong", but Xu Chang deliberately called him this way. Naturally, the two were competitors, and he even wanted to provoke Gou Xin to attack him first.
Fortunately, Gou Xin still had some sense and knew the consequences of taking action at this time, so although he was unhappy, he still held it back.
"The Commander-in-Chief suddenly called us all here, probably to announce the appointment of the First Commander, right?"
Suddenly a voice came from the side and broke the silence. When everyone looked, they found that it was Xue Kui who was in the middle of building a realm, speaking, which made them all thoughtful.
After all, during this period, they were either investigating the murder of the secret guard captain Gong Bo or looking for the bones of the former First Commander, and there was almost no chance to get together.
But just now, all of them received a call from the Commander-in-Chief, asking them to rush to the Chinese army station as soon as possible, which naturally made them guess.
The First Capital Commander has been vacant for many days, and no one has been able to fill it. This is a major event for the Secret Guards, and it is indeed necessary to bring everyone together.
It's just that no one is sure whether the new first capital commander is Xu Chang or Gou Xin.
Judging from the situation, the three generals at the top probably didn't know either.
Xue Kui has a good relationship with the two capital commanders in the later stages of building the realm, so he has no objection to whoever is elected as the new first capital commander.
But after hearing Xue Kui's words, Xu Chang and Gou Xin obviously took a step back, looking even more tit-for-tat.
It's a pity that this kind of thing is beyond their control. Both sides are equally matched in terms of their own strength and the supporters behind them, and no one can have the absolute upper hand.
"The Commander-in-Chief has arrived!"
At this moment, a loud voice came from the door, and then a majestic figure walked in, making the atmosphere in the hall become a little more solemn.
"I've met the Commander-in-Chief!"
No one dared to show any signs of neglect. Even the two generals who were in the early stage of the rift who were sitting in the chairs quickly stood up and bowed to salute with utmost respect.
The person who came was none other than Mu Hang, the commander of the Secret Guards. He was a genuine late-stage powerhouse in the Breaking Realm.
This person has a square face with a Chinese character and thick eyebrows, giving him an extremely majestic look.
Anyone who was caught by him would never dare to meet his eyes.
Among the entire Secret Guards, Mu Hang is the absolute authority and always speaks the truth. Anyone who dares to doubt will definitely be left in trouble.
It's just that Mu Hang didn't seem to be in a good mood at this time. Everyone could feel a depressive aura about the commander-in-chief.
Mu Hang didn't show any respect for everyone. He just walked straight to the top position and sat down without saying anything for a long time.
The commander-in-chief did not speak, so his subordinates naturally did not dare to say anything.
They all felt that the atmosphere was extremely depressing, even making them breathless.
"The letter of appointment as First Capital Commander signed by City Lord Kong is coming soon, so everyone should be mentally prepared."
It wasn't until a long time later that Mu Hang's voice finally came.
Hearing his words, Xu Chang and Gou Xin glanced at each other subconsciously, but quickly turned their gazes away.
Obviously, including the three generals and all the commanders, they all felt that the new first commander would be between Xu Gou and Xu Gou. There should be no doubt about this.
However, the Commander-in-Chief did not say anything clearly, and they did not dare to ask more questions. They should wait until the so-called appointment letter from the City Lord's Mansion arrived.
It was in this strange atmosphere that after about ten minutes, several figures finally appeared at the gate.
The figure at the head was not too unfamiliar to the secret guards. It was none other than Zhou Sui, one of the four generals.
It's just that at this time, Zhou Sui's face was a little gloomy. He also walked to his position without saying a word, and looked at the commander-in-chief Mu Hang with a somewhat resentful look.
"Who are those men and women? They don't seem to be from the secret guard, right?"
These high-ranking secret guards were not usually in the city lord's mansion, so naturally they didn't know Hong Gui and Liu Yuewei, so there was a look of confusion and curiosity on their faces.
"It's them?!"
But this does not include Dutong Xue Kui.
When he saw the somewhat familiar young man, the scene in the Brotherhood warehouse immediately came to mind.
At that time, Hong Gui left a very deep impression on Xue Kui. The other party held the City Lord's Order, which frightened him so much that he did not dare to act rashly, and finally left the Brotherhood in disgrace.
As for the little girl, Xue Kui was also somewhat impressed, but not as impressed as Hong Gui.
He wouldn't even know that the City Lord's Order in Hong Gui's hand was actually stolen from this little girl.
