The young man was totally confused.
When he looked up, there were very symmetrical red handprints on the left and right sides of his face. He looked at Wan Yan with confusion and aggrieved face.
In fact, it was not just the young commander-in-chief who was confused.
Gu Zhan was also very confused. He couldn't figure out what Wan Yan was planning. The operation from beginning to end was very confusing.
If it was because Wan Yan wanted to use himself as a knife to kill others, the previous operation could be explained, but after he clearly refused, Wan Yan's behavior became very strange.
Not only did he not care about saving his face in public, but now that he had beaten his nephew, he did not take the opportunity to retaliate, but instead defended himself.
Gu Zhan doesn't believe that there is love without reason in this world.
He would not think that Wan Yan really admired him and wanted to train him to be his successor.
He looked at Wan Yan, and in his mind Wan Yan's vigilance level was raised a few degrees again. This person who always had a spring breeze smile was stronger than any opponent he had ever encountered before.
Wan Yan glared at the young commander, and hurriedly said to Gu Zhan with an apologetic smile: "Brother Gu, this guy is my nephew. He is used to being arrogant based on my status. He has no eyesight and dares to offend you." , don’t worry, I will educate you well.
You want to get the secret book, right? I'll let him... Forget it, I'll get it in person. I remember that Brother Gu, you are a swordsman. It just so happens that I remember that there is a middle-grade Xuan-level swordsmanship in this Chuan Gong Pavilion. , I'll get it for you. "
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had learned about the secret book of the Chuan Gong Pavilion earlier, and knew that Wan Yan was not playing tricks on him. The Qianhu Institute did contain a middle-grade Xuan-level sword technique, which was also the highest-grade among the martial arts included in the Chuan Gong Pavilion. of.
Because Jinyiwei's standard martial skill is swordsmanship, he has relatively many collections of swordsmanship to achieve such a level.
Gu Zhan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir, but it's not appropriate for you to bother me with such a trivial matter..."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Wan Yan patted Gu Zhan on the shoulder and said, "You and I are colleagues, and it's rare to see brother Gu being so angry with me. Please wait a moment!"
After saying that, Wan Yan went directly into the transfer room.
soon,
Wan Yan came out with a rubbing book of secret books, handed it to Gu Zhan directly, and said: "Brother Gu, martial arts emphasizes the long flow of water. Remember not to be impatient. The level of this sword technique is not low, and it will be more difficult to practice. You have to be patient and polish it.”
Gu Zhan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir. I won't stay here for a long time. I will definitely come to pay my respects someday."
"That's okay, that's okay," Wan Yan said with a smile, "Brother Gu, walk slowly."
Gu Zhan cupped his hands and turned around to leave.
At the entrance of Chuangong Pavilion,
With a smile on his face, Wan Yan watched Gu Zhan go away and sighed: "This young man is not bad. He is young, has strength and courage, it is rare!"
At this time, the young general Qi who had been beaten up by Gu Zhan before walked up to Wan Yan with an aggrieved face and said: "Uncle, he is just a country bumpkin. You are a member of thousands of families. Why are you afraid of him? I... I'm just venting my anger for you, he dared to refute your face in public today..."
Wan Yan turned around and glanced at the young general flag, and said calmly: "Just do your own thing. Do I need you to vent my anger for me?"
"uncle……"
"Okay," Wan Yan waved his hand and said, "Be more honest with me from now on. Don't touch things that you shouldn't touch. Do you remember?"
"yes."
The young commander-in-chief covered his face and left aggrievedly.
At this moment, a guard next to Wan Yan said: "Sir, this Gu Zhan directly refused to take over Dongcheng. He guessed that you wanted him to be a swordsman. He refuses to cooperate now. What should I do?"
Wan Yan chuckled lightly and said: "I have made it clear that I want him to be a swordsman. If I can't see through this, he is not qualified to become the youngest hundred households in the history of Linjiang County Jinyiwei. I didn't even think about it." How can he be used as a knife so easily."
The guard said doubtfully: "Then you have done so much..."
"This is for the Rong family to see. This Rong family is my first step to break the family alliance," Wan Yan chuckled. "The more indulgent I am to Gu Zhan and the more I appreciate him, the less the Rong family dares to bet on Gu Zhan." Zhan will always remain neutral."
The guard was stunned for a moment and said, "But now, Gu Zhan has refuted your reputation in public and declared his neutral attitude. There will be no conflict between him and the Rong family."
"Haha," Wan Yan said with a smile: "I have dealt with many aristocratic families, and the children of those aristocratic families all have the same virtue, look down on the common people from poor families, and all think highly of themselves.
Gu Zhan is unwilling to be their enemy because he knows that the aristocratic family is strong. However, just because he is unwilling to be an enemy does not mean that the aristocratic family really takes him seriously. In the eyes of those aristocratic families, Gu Zhan is no longer protected by Furukawa. He's just a reckless man from a civilian background! "
After all,
Wan Yan took out an official document from his arms and handed it to the guard, saying: "This official document is evidence of the crimes of Gu Zhan and several guards in the Nancheng Hundred Household Office. You give this official document to Rong Hao and tell him, as long as He caught those who deserved to be arrested and beat those who deserved to be beaten, but I will not touch his position of 100 households."
The personal guard took the official document, frowned, and said, "Sir, Rong Hao is not stupid. You are making it clear that you want him to be at odds with Gu Zhan. I'm afraid he won't agree."
"He will agree," Wan Yan said: "The Rong family is now deeply divided within the family, with side clans in power. They have always wanted to support Rong Hao as the head of the family, but the current head of the family, Rong Yichu, has been devoured by power and has reached the point where he is about to step down. Actively fighting for power.
At this time, Rong Hao's official position in the Hundred Households is particularly important. If he is dismissed now, it will give Rong Yichu a lot of breathing space. Although Rong Yichu is young, he is extremely capable, and the collaterals do not dare to do so. Give him a chance.
In addition, Gu Zhan is indeed quite famous in Linjiang County, but a family like the Rong family has a higher regard and maintains the relationship on the surface. In fact, they look down on someone like Gu Zhan at all. Compared with losing the position of the head of the family, the Rong family Hao would rather offend Gu Zhan, and besides, he had no choice.
Do you think I stayed alone with hundreds of households in Nancheng during this period and ignored me, and openly showed my appreciation for Gu Zhan, even beating my own nephew for Gu Zhan, and indulged Gu Zhan to such an extent, for what reason? ? It just left Rong Hao with no choice.
Now, Gu Zhan is indeed neutral, but does Rong Hao dare to take a gamble? I admire Gu Zhan so much that I almost shouted slogans to appoint Gu Zhan as his successor. You said that I am recruiting you like this. Does Rong Hao dare to bet that Gu Zhan will always be neutral?
He definitely wouldn't dare to gamble. In this case, in his opinion, he and Gu Zhan will be enemies sooner or later. Is there any difference between offending him now and offending him in the future? What's more, if you are offended now, you can still keep your official position in a hundred households and compete for the position of head of the family. Why not? "
