Shen Hao really didn't understand. He was not stupid, but compared to someone like Jiang Cheng who had been in the upper echelon of Xuanqing Guard for decades, he was really young. Some things couldn't be revealed just by having a brain. , requires certain experience.
Jiang Cheng finished three bowls in a row, and even though he drank a lot, his face was a little wet. Wiping the corner of his mouth: "If a piece of rotten flesh appears on a person's body, what do you think is the most appropriate thing to do?"
"Rotten flesh?...cut off?"
"That's right!" Jiang Cheng nodded heavily, while taking the cooked meat slices from the pot into a bowl, he continued: "Now the Black Flag Camp is like a piece of rotten meat in Xuanqingwei's system. . The Black Flag Battalion was originally established to respond to the accountability originally asked by civil servants and set up self-supervision. It also wanted to have a long-term effect of internal cleansing. But as I told you just now, the current situation of the Black Flag Battalion has completely failed to achieve the original intention. .
In total, the Black Flag Camp within the jurisdiction of Fengri City was an unexpected surprise. But do you think the things you did in Fengri City can be copied and used in other places and achieve the same results? "
Without waiting for Shen Hao to answer, Jiang Cheng gave the answer directly: "Impossible. In terms of affiliation, there is no place like you with such courage and skill. It is impossible to open up the situation at all, let alone improve it. So you become "rotten meat" It’s inevitable.”
Shen Hao: "You mean that Pangda people are planning to cancel the establishment of the Black Flag Battalion?!"
This is not good news. All of Shen Hao's future now rests on Black Flag Camp, and his reputation within the Xuanqing Guard is not very good. In addition, he has a "lone wolf" style and only has a few friends, so he can jump when he is in trouble. Those who come out to add insult to injury may form a circle.
Therefore, Shen Hao didn't need to guess to predict that once he left the position of Black Flag Camp, his career would be greatly suppressed, and he might even be stepped into the mud.
Shen Hao couldn't help but not panic.
However, Jiang Cheng dipped the meat slices in the bowl with seasonings and took a sip with pleasure. He drank half a bowl of wine before smiling and said: "You don't have to worry. With your ability, you can eat meat no matter where you go. Besides, Black Flag Camp Although you have become "rotten meat", the Fengri City under your control is prosperous, which makes it even more eye-catching, isn't it?"
"Sir, please stop showing off. This subordinate is feeling very uncomfortable."
"Hahaha..." It was rare for Jiang Cheng to see Shen Hao's anxious look. Usually his disciple always looked like he had wisdom in hand and was calmer than his elders. Now I finally saw some emotions, and I suddenly found it very funny.
Being laughed out of nowhere by Jiang Cheng, Shen Hao touched his nose and didn't know how to answer.
Jiang Cheng waited until he had laughed enough and then said: "Although most of the Black Flag Camp is rotten, how can there be any reason to slap yourself? Besides, the original intention of establishing the Black Flag Camp is good and what Xuanqing Guard needs, plus You did a good job, so I guess even though you have to cut it, you won’t be able to throw it away after cutting it.”
Shen Hao reacted quickly and added: "Do you mean that the Black Flag Battalion will leave the Xuanqing Guard system alone?!"
"It will not break away from the Xuanqing Guard system, but it should be completely separated from the existing cultivation system, and it is more likely to become a direct subordinate of the commanding yamen."
Shen Hao, who was originally inexplicably nervous, was now a little confused. He understood Jiang Cheng's words, but felt a little incredible. Because combined with the previous paragraph about Pang Ban's "appreciation" and "anticipation" of him, is Jiang Cheng hinting that once the Black Flag Battalion is separated from the old system of Xuanqing Guard, he will Become the "leader" that Pang Ban is optimistic about.
Suddenly Shen Hao understood what Jiang Cheng meant by the "big picture".
Seeing the changes in Shen Hao's face, Jiang Cheng also found it very interesting. He smiled and put all the meat slices on the plate into the pot. This kind of meat is also called "old meat slices" and the longer it is cooked, the more flavorful it becomes.
"Sir, do you think such a change will really happen? Then I..."
"You've already guessed what I want to say, so why ask? You have to be mentally prepared for this. It's best to think about it in your free time."
"What time?"
"How can there be a specific time for this kind of thing? It's a good time to look at it. It is definitely not suitable recently. The south is in chaos and it is not appropriate to distract. I estimate that once the situation in the south stabilizes, Pang Pang will take action."
"But sir, with my qualifications, I can't take on a big role, right? Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
"What's so rash? You are now the deputy of a thousand households, and your title is corresponding to the fifth rank. Even if the Black Flag Camp is cut off as I guessed, it will only be the establishment of a thousand households at most. I will give you another one. What's wrong with leveling up or just letting you be promoted? The main thing is the credit you have saved and the goodwill of the people above."
Having said this, Jiang Cheng picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Shen Hao again, and then said with a smile: "If you are going to be successful in the future, don't forget me as your teacher."
Shen Hao held the wine bowl in both hands and said seriously: "Sir, this subordinate is your official disciple. No matter what happens to me in the future, I will always be your disciple. This will not change until death!" After taking a sip, he drank the wine in the bowl, and then poured himself two more bowls. The last bowl was touched by Jiang Cheng before he swallowed it.
"It is inevitable that we cannot help ourselves in life. Our practice should be detached. However, due to talent, it is difficult to see the path. We can only struggle in this mortal world. Your potential, ability and luck are destined that your current position will not be yours. At the end of the day, I just hope that your original intention will remain unchanged so that you will not be disturbed by external evils."
The two of them drank a jar of five kilograms of Wuliangye. Shen Hao was okay, his face was slightly red, and Jiang Cheng's face was even red, but his words did not show his drunkenness.
The hot pot meal was not finished until the end of the meal. Jiang Cheng returned to the Zhenfu Shi Yamen, while Shen Hao also rushed back to Fengri City. However, his mind has been thinking about the seemingly emotional words Jiang Cheng said later. It seems to be hinting at something.
In particular, what does "external evil" refer to in that paragraph?
On the second day after returning to Fengri City, Shen Hao saw the fishing documents released by the local government. It had Qin Xiuyuan's portrait and name, as well as his height and other physical characteristics, and the word "fierce" was written on it in red ink. , which means that the person on this sea arrest document belongs to the "extremely evil" generation, and you are reminded to report to the official immediately if you see this person.
Is Qin Xiuyuan extremely vicious? Certainly not, but the attitude expressed by the local government can be seen from the word "fierce". However, it is unclear whether this attitude was expressed voluntarily. Shen Hao felt that it was more likely that he was forced.
Of course, people will definitely not be caught by sea arrest documents. This is just a trend that forces the civil servant group to blow it out and show it to King Shou at the same time.
