If there was any place in the imperial city that was least affected by the "big test", it would be Xuanqingwei.
They will not be like the local yamen, nor will they be as confused and nervous as the four-gate defenders of the imperial city. They are worried that the general flags on the city will change their names when they wake up, and they are even more worried about some things they have done in private that they thought were innocuous. The "little things" were exposed with added fuel and jealousy and then sent oneself into it.
Xuanqingwei was watching the excitement with his arms folded, and was in a good mood. He was even very proud of his identity as Xuanqingwei and Pang Ban's choice in the "big test" of the royal family. Otherwise, Xuanqing Guard would probably be in a mess like other key departments in the imperial city.
"The battle has begun to go smoothly in the south. Zuo Yuliang used a surprise attack to break the situation and then followed up with a strong frontal attack. The two methods were really well played. Now the barbarians have little room for maneuver, unless they can defeat Shen Wanlin in Baektu Gorge. Department, and moved to Jianchuan to regain Jianchuan's condescending position.
But it's difficult. They haven't even set up a royal court yet. It seems that the plundering of the country over the years has really harmed the barbarians, and they can no longer find heroes who can steadily convince the crowd. "
Today, the commander held a regular meeting in the yamen as usual. After the meeting, Jiang Cheng was retained by Pang Ban again.
While Jiang Cheng diligently replaced Pang Ban's teapot with new tea and added boiling water, he listened to Pang Ban's analysis of the situation in the south and agreed at the same time. Speaking of Zuo Yuliang's current battle, it was really beautiful. Not many people called him "famous general" before, but now there are too many people calling Zuo Yuliang that way.
Is Zuo Yuliang a famous general? Jiang Cheng felt that it was not the current person who had the final say as to whether a famous general was a famous general, and it would have to be judged by later generations. But one thing was that Zuo Yuliang really convinced Jiang Cheng in terms of military affairs.
"And your protégé, now he has earned face for you again. Haha, speaking of which, I really didn't realize that that kid had so many tricks up his sleeve, and the things in his mind were really complicated. I don't know who was the enlightened person in his practice back then. What kind of master is the teacher who knows so much miscellaneous knowledge?
Have you asked him about this? "
Pang Ban was in a good mood. Xuanqingwei just needs to stick to the current emperor's side, and the fight between life and death among the princes has nothing to do with them. If you don’t help, don’t offend. No matter who sits on the throne in the future, they will follow the rules and not harm anyone.
Of course, while the Xuanqing Guards followed the emperor closely, they would also keep an eye on every move of the imperial city, several princes and related forces. Watching the excitement was also a precaution.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that the military campaign in the south would progress so quickly, and I didn’t expect that Zuo Yuliang could withstand the initial pressure and immediately launch a counterattack after using troops from such a long distance. Now he not only completely broke the situation, but also turned it over. Baektu Gorge, Bingfeng is just one step away from entering the critical place of the barbarians.
I heard that the offensive at Baektu Gorge has already begun, but I don’t know how the battle is going over there during this period.
Jiang Cheng handed the teapot into Pang Ban's hand, stepped back a few steps, bowed slightly, and said, "Sir, I know very little about Shen Hao's past when he was young. I heard that he had a spiritual enlightenment. Apart from that, there is nothing special about him. Besides, Shen Hao's talent came late. His previous skills and cultivation were very poor. It seems that his enlightenment teacher was just a wandering idle monk. That’s all.”
Jiang Cheng was mentally prepared to be asked these questions. But there is no way to give a definite answer. Because Shen Hao was not recruited into Xuanqing Guard by him. When he met Shen Hao, Shen Hao was already a chief flag officer. The only details we can learn about Shen Hao are the personal records in the Xuanqing Guard's case room. In addition, how can we learn about Shen Hao as an orphan who escaped from famine?
And does Jiang Cheng think this is necessary?
"I know what you are thinking. I can also tell you that you cannot look at Shen Hao with the perspective and authority of a "mere deputy Qianhu". He has great potential, so much that I think it far exceeds yours. You Do you know that he has now broken through the final threshold of the God Gathering Realm and officially entered the Yuan Dan Realm?"
"Yes, sir, Shen Hao mentioned it in a private message to me before."
"Many people think that the reason why Shen Hao can practice so smoothly is mainly due to the opportunity of enlightenment he got at Chang Baifeng last time. However, although there are few people who have achieved enlightenment, there are many records, and there have been many for thousands of years. There are quite a few records, right? Has there ever been a person who broke through as quickly as Shen Hao, who directly broke through a big realm within one to two years?
I specifically turned over it and found that except for a few legends in the world of cultivation, no one who had achieved enlightenment and recorded it had such exaggerated cultivation practice as Shen Hao. Besides, you just said that his talent is a typical and rare "late bloomer". So, in addition to the help of epiphany caused by chance, is the reason for his rapid breakthrough in practice now also related to the awakening of his own talent?
Do you think the cultivation potential of such people will catch up with the so-called geniuses in first-class sects or super sects? "
Jiang Cheng's eyes widened subconsciously, looking at the smiling Pang Ban in disbelief. He can accept using "genius" to describe Shen Hao, because Shen Hao currently seems to be worthy of this title. But... Tianjiao? Is this too much?
"Don't believe it? Haha, do you know that Shen Hao has practiced almost purely by self-enlightenment since he entered Xuanqing Guard? Even when he broke through the God-Gathering Realm before, he followed the self-enlightenment of the exercises without anyone else's Just a little correction. How dare you do this back then? Do you have the ability?"
Jiang Cheng was really shocked when he heard this. Indeed, he only reacted when Pang Ban mentioned this. It seemed that what was more terrifying and powerful under the cover of the shocking speed of cultivation was Shen Hao's understanding and the possibility of its expression. potential.
"So you understand, right?"
"Sir, do you think Shen Hao can..."
"It's possible. Although it will take a long time, things must be done first. Shen Hao is a good young man. As long as his cultivation can keep up, and his character can be tempered, ruthless, and his vision more vicious, it will be better. So, don’t be careless about Shen Hao’s details. You have the most contact with him, so you must pay attention to it.”
Jiang Cheng understood. This was Pang Ban telling him that Shen Hao was now important to Xuanqing Guard. He was definitely not just a "very capable subordinate", but was regarded by Pang Ban as a potential successor. People are being nurtured.
In this way, Shen Hao's identity must be clear.
Of course, Pang Ban didn't tell Jiang Cheng the whole situation. For example, he had already sent people to check the relevant details on Shen Hao's case. Xin Liangcheng had repeatedly checked Shen Hao's birthplace mentioned in the case more than five times. . But apart from the fact that there was a famine that year and some people did flee to Jingxi, there is no relevant news about Shen Hao.
