The rule of the Xuanqing Guard is that unless you are asking for a crime or a reward, all superiors and subordinates are doing is bowing, and there is no need to kneel down. On the contrary, civil servants like to kneel down to show respect.
Seeing Kuang Shengyuan kneel down on one knee, Shen Hao just hesitated, but did not follow Kuang Shengyuan's example, but bowed and saluted as usual.
It doesn't matter if you flatter someone, who in the official career has never flattered someone? But at least show some restraint, right?
To be honest, it was the first time that Shen Hao found that Kuang Shengyuan was so willing to take risks.
Moreover, Kuang Shengyuan took the lead, which was a bit of a contrast. Many people behind Shen Hao who came to greet Pang Ban imitated Kuang Shengyuan and knelt down on one knee to shout "Goodbye." Only Wang Yiming, who was under Shen Hao, and Tang Qingyuan, who was standing next to Shen Hao, did not learn to kneel down but bowed in salute.
A nice welcome ceremony suddenly became a bit strange.
"Haha, get up."
Pang Ban's expression didn't change at all, he smiled and looked very kind, and he didn't have the oppressive feeling unique to high-level monks. Just one sentence made you feel like a spring breeze, and your senses were very comfortable.
Shen Hao followed Kuang Shengyuan. His first impression of Pang Ban was "unfathomable". This feeling was very strange. Only three people had given him this feeling before: Li Shuyang of Guishan Monastery and Yu Aofeng of Tianchan Sect. , Wanjuanshu mountain bell red leaves.
The person Pang Ban talked to first was Kuang Shengyuan, the officer in charge of Xuanqing Guard in Fengli City. Introduced by Jiang Cheng. After chatting for a few words, Jiang Cheng introduced Shen Hao.
Pang Ban smiled and patted Shen Hao on the shoulder: "I have heard of your name for a long time. You have handled many major cases at a young age. Your Lord Jiang thinks very highly of you. It is often said that you are his right-hand man. .”
"My subordinates are terrified."
"Young people don't need to be modest. Let's go. It's getting late. I also want to see what kind of results your Black Flag Camp has achieved after the pilot. You are so anxious to show off." Pang Ban's words were somewhat pointed, but He found that the young man in front of him was not frightened, and still looked confident and neither humble nor arrogant.
This young man is indeed unusual.
In fact, Pang Ban has been paying attention to Shen Hao for more than a day or two. At the earliest, he paid attention to Shen Hao in the official newspaper of Xuanqing Guard, and then sent someone to check Shen Hao's whereabouts. In addition to Shen Hao's "originality" recorded on the documents that currently needs to be verified, his story after entering the Xuanqing Guard is very clear.
To put it simply, he is a person who has means, ability, and luck, but also takes into account the bottom line and ruthlessness.
Of course, Pang Ban really paid attention to Shen Hao only after Shen Hao had an epiphany with Chang Baifeng by chance and greatly increased his own cultivation potential.
In the end, this world is still a world where fists speak, and Pang Ban sees it clearly. If you can't improve your cultivation level, no matter how high your position is, it won't be stable. This is especially true in martial arts. Talents without potential are not worth paying attention to, but only those with potential are worth cultivating.
Otherwise, even if Jiang Cheng highly praised Shen Hao, Pang Ban might not agree to this invitation to the ceremony in Fengri City.
It seems a bit presumptuous to invite someone to the top after going beyond several levels. This Shen Hao is indeed very courageous.
Shen Hao bowed and saluted again, speaking calmly: "Please command to reassure your lord, everyone at the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City will never let you down!"
Holding a pair of kings, four twos, and a connected card in his hand, Shen Hao was not at all panicked. He even felt that he was being too conservative in his words. At this time, even if he was pretending a little, it would not be too much.
But others were worried about Shen Hao. Especially Jiang Cheng.
"How presumptuous! Commander, don't talk too much in front of me! Why don't you lead the way?"
"Yes!" Shen Hao said yes, knowing that Jiang Cheng was helping him. Immediately he turned aside and pointed in the direction, letting Pang Ban go first.
The venue is five miles outside Fengri City.
It was originally a racecourse for a carriage and horse racing business. Later, due to Operation Jingxi, the carriage and horse racing business collapsed, and the venue was consigned by the Yamen. Now it is vacant. It was rented by Wang Yiming and some improvements were made. This is the basis for this "big competition" School grounds.
The venues in the school grounds are also divided into indoor and outdoor areas. The functions are different, and the competition items are also different.
The carriages and horses were hired by Shen Hao from Hengshun Carry and Horses. The carriage drivers were all replaced by Black Flag Battalion's own manpower, but now they were forcefully replaced by Pang Ban's personal guards.
Shen Hao did not ride in a car but rode a horse, one parking space behind Pang Ban's carriage. And he was the only one allowed to be so close. People like Kuang Shengyuan and others could only hang far behind.
After entering the venue, Shen Hao led Pang Ban and other Shangfeng who came to watch the ceremony to the stands.
"This stand is really special." Pang Ban followed him up to the five-foot-high stone stand. It was the first time he had seen a stand of this structure. It actually looked like a city wall, with a long strip and some chairs placed on it. The chair in the middle is larger and should be prepared for him.
"Haha, because there will be an opening ceremony, we built a higher stand so that adults can watch the ceremony later." Shen Hao has been accompanying Pang Ban. The other guests attending the ceremony were received by Wang Yiming, including Jiang Cheng.
This is Shen Hao's opportunity, and it is also Wang Yiming's opportunity. Faced with so many big bosses in the Xuanqing Guards, Wang Yiming showed off his elegance as a young man from a high-ranking family. He was also polite and well-mannered and did not lose sight of the situation.
This scene made Kuang Shengyuan, who followed him to the stands, look envious. How he wished it was him who was accompanying Pang Ban and Jiang Cheng at this moment, but he could only stare at them when they were so proud. He was the chief officer of the Xuanqing Guard in Searing Sun City! Most people can't understand this feeling.
"Sir, the auspicious time has come. Do you think we can start?"
Shen Hao didn't explain to Pang Banduo. He looked at Shi Xiang beside him and asked directly if it was okay to start. As for the process and details, he believes it is better to leave it as a surprise to everyone present.
Pang Ban glanced at the four small phalanxes neatly lined up in the distance with interest, and nodded to indicate that they could start.
Shen Hao didn't make any opening remarks. He didn't think it was necessary, and he didn't think it would be appropriate for him to make an opening remarks. After all, the world is different, and some upper and lower concepts cannot be completely ignored.
He raised his hand to signal Wang Yiming, who had been waiting for a long time. The latter immediately walked to the edge of the high platform, took out two flags, raised them above his head and waved them several times. The next moment there was a roar.
It's the sound of drums.
Giant drums that had never been seen before were pushed out on large wooden frames. The drums were double-sided. On each side, there was a naked giant man standing and beating, and they were accompanied by their hoarse shouts. drink.
"Dong dong...dong...dong dong dong..."
The drum beat slowly picked up a rhythm, like thunder exploding continuously on the clouds, as if it was about to strike down on the head, giving people an inexplicable sense of urgency.
"This is... His Majesty's "Thunder"?"
