"So, both Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect agree with your strategy?"
Inside the Imperial City Commander's Office, Pang Ban put down a copper bar in his hand with a smile on his face, which contained the employment strategy that Shen Hao had vacated this time.
Although such a big event was done under the banner of Fenghong Villa, the reality was that it was a matter of Black Flag Camp or Xuanqing Guard. No matter what, a report must be made to Pang Ban in real time. And the whole thing must be approved by Pang Ban before it can be implemented.
Shen Hao stood on the side as usual and replied: "Yes, sir, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect have clearly expressed their agreement to this strategy through Xiang Liu and Zhong Hongye, but some details still need to be polished. Grinding. It is estimated that it will take up to two or three days before it can be officially launched."
"Very good! Shen Hao, you are really capable! For more than two years, everyone in the Xuanqing Guard has racked their brains to find a way to break the situation, but no one can do it. In the end, we can only follow the civil and military officials and wait for His Majesty to be embarrassed again. Calculation. But in that case, the trust between our Xuanqing Guards and His Majesty will be greatly affected.
Haha, you have found a breakthrough just a few days after you came back. I have to say that now that Xuanqing Guard has left you, it is like a bird with its wings cut off. You are indispensable! "
Hearing this, Shen Hao quickly bowed down and said, "I don't dare, my subordinates are scared!"
Pang Ban laughed and waved his hand. In his eyes, Shen Hao's only shortcoming was that he lacked the energy of a young man and was too mature and calm. But this guy is really capable. Only a few days after returning, the problems plaguing the entire Xuanqing Guard were solved. Even if they fail to turn the situation around later, they can definitely take out the Xuanqing Guards and avoid conflicts with the emperor.
The big stone in Pang Ban's heart fell to the ground at this moment.
"Hahaha, there is no need to be modest. You are now the commander of the Black Flag Battalion, and you hold the rank of fourth grade. You are already full of merits, what is missing is just qualifications. This time you will make another great contribution, plus With your current cultivation level, it will no longer be a problem to give you a rank of fourth grade."
Shen Hao did not object to Pang Ban's promotion. However, the fourth-rank officers in the Xuanqing Guards were all commanding people and would not be able to take on actual duties. This was not what he wanted.
So Shen Hao thought about it for a moment and asked tentatively: "Thank you for your support, sir. But if I get the job of commanding the Qianshi, who will take over the position of commander of the Black Flag Battalion now?"
This question is not too abrupt. According to the usual practice, Xuanqing Guard officials will recommend or recommend their successors before retiring from their posts. Unless there are other arrangements above, it is very likely that the successor will be recommended by the departing person. Coupled with the personal relationship between Shen Hao and Pang Ban, it was absolutely fine for him to ask directly.
Of course, Shen Hao was just testing. He didn't want to just leave the Black Flag Camp Commanding Office and become a commanding officer without real power. It's just that he can't say this directly.
Pang Ban pointed at Shen Hao, shook his head and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? You and I are brothers, why are there so many twists and turns? Are you worried that I will send you to the command to make the Yamen idle? Right? Just say it directly!"
Shen Hao smiled and scratched his head when he heard this, acquiescing to what Pang Ban said. At the same time, he also knew in his heart that he was worrying too much. Pang Ban didn't seem to think about transferring him from the position of commander of the Black Flag Battalion.
Sure enough, I heard Pang Ban continue to say: "As an important high-end force in the Xuanqing Guard, Commander Qianshi is suspended from his position just to allow them more time to meditate. At the same time, it is also to allow them to step down from their positions of real power and free up The position is given to the newcomers below, so that fresh blood can always flow in Xuanqing Guard and will not become rotten.
But you kid is different. Your age, your cultivation, and most importantly your luck, you can completely ignore the matter of commanding people. Now, except for a few people in the Xuanqing Guard, the rest are no match for you, so it doesn't mean much whether you meditate or not.
And I also asked the two masters, they still want you to maintain your previous life, experience and move forward in this worldly world, and it is not appropriate to interfere with your path, as I am worried that it will be just the opposite.
Besides, as I said just now, you are now an indispensable part of the Xuanqing Guard, and the Black Flag Camp has long been irreplaceable in the Xuanqing Guard's system. Without you, the Black Flag Battalion can only be mediocre and have no achievements. This has been proven for more than two years. So I'm going to only give you a half-level promotion to the fourth rank, but I won't let you move. You will continue to lead the Black Flag Battalion.
Are you willing? "
Shen Hao stood up straight with a snap, raised his hands and said: "I will live up to your expectations!"
"Okay, okay! What I need is your energy. After two years, after you have secured your position as the fourth rank, I will help a few of my close associates to come up, and I will add more burdens to you. This Xuanqing Guard will have to rely on you in the future. With fresh blood like yours, my old bones should have a few days of leisure."
"Sir, what are you..." Shen Hao didn't know how to respond. It was also the first time he heard Pang Ban say such words in person. He was clearly telling him that he was to be the commander of the Xuanqing Guard. Let the next successor be trained. Otherwise, he would not be allowed to help his cronies come up.
Shen Hao had always heard that Pang Ban was training him as his successor, but after all, his previous cultivation was limited, and even if Pang Ban really thought that way, it was definitely not a recent matter. Therefore, Shen Hao has never really taken the matter of "successor" seriously. After all, things in the world are constantly changing. Don't expect too much from anything, otherwise you will be the one who suffers in the end.
But now the situation has changed drastically. The essence, blood and soul fragments of the Eyeless Beast Ancestor in the underground palace have allowed Bai Wu to recover from his injuries. Shen Hao also ran into a great opportunity and became a third-level monk in the Xuanhai Realm. In an instant, his cultivation level improved. This leveled all the obstacles to becoming Pang Ban's "successor".
Moreover, Pang Ban mentioned obvious signals and time in his words, using the words "in two years", which is definitely a "very soon" time expression for a monk. In other words, Pang Ban has already arranged this matter on his schedule!
Pang Ban picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip, and said bluntly without hesitating anything: "My current cultivation level is the same as yours at the third level of the Xuanhai Realm, but the difference is that you are the first to enter, while I have been stranded for many years.
I thought I would not make any further progress, but things are unpredictable. Although I have been busy with official duties over the years, I have never slackened on my practice. I have actually gained enlightenment while being busy, and I even slowly feel that I can go further, but it must be in a relatively stable environment. Only in a relaxed environment can you try it.
Haha, I thought I would have to suppress it for a long time, but I didn’t expect that your boy suddenly gave me an unexpected surprise. Therefore, I am ready to hand over Xuan Qingwei's stall to your hands as soon as possible.
Let me tell you today, you have to start making preparations after you go down. "
"But sir, your Majesty's side..."
"It doesn't matter, I will go and tell His Majesty, you don't have to worry about it."
