Gu Zhan came to a hall under the guidance of the deacon.
After the members of the elders confirmed Gu Zhan's identity, they handed over a letter of appointment and other things to Gu Zhan, went through a set of procedures, and convened a group of senior officials to announce that Gu Zhan would take over as helmsman.
In addition to his identity as helmsman, the Beidou Gang's helmsman also has several official positions in the imperial court, and he has held several positions, including Jinyiwei's identity as counselor to the governor.
When confronting Liu Ziyuan before,
Liu Ziyuan once used this identity to suppress the official status of Gu Zhan Jinyi Wei Qianhu.
The government structure of Daxia is different from the dynasties Gu Zhan knew in his previous life. Although there are many similarities, there are big differences.
Let’s just talk about Jin Yiwei.
Just in Yunzhou, there were three Zhenfu divisions in Manying, respectively in Yunxi, Yundong and Northern Territory.
However, thirty years ago, Yunxi Jianghu canceled the Zhenfu Division after signing the Qingxia Covenant with the imperial court, and the northern border disappeared after being captured by the White Lotus Sect last year.
On the Yunxi side, the imperial court has become a symbol.
Although there are still twelve roads in name, they are all decided by Jianghu forces. Just like in Canglan Road, the Beidou Gang is in charge, and government agencies have become decorations.
However, in terms of form, they still follow the court's system and save face for the court. For example, the helmsman of Kaiyang branch will have several official identities, and the counselor of the town is one of them.
Nominally, the Zhenfu Counselor was under the jurisdiction of four thousand-household offices, which are the other three counties centered on Pingyang Prefecture that are now guarded by Kaiyang Branch.
However, in the land of Yunxi, no one takes these nominal things seriously. The rules are mainly based on the Jianghu forces who call the shots.
After completing the process,
The members of the elder group did not force Gu Zhan to stay, but left directly.
Gu Zhan didn't pay attention. After a few brief explanations to the senior management of the branch, he let everyone disperse.
Originally, he was in charge of the current Kaiyang branch. Now that he is appointed as the helmsman, there are no other changes. There is no need to play the drama of three new officials taking office. The fire in the past few days has almost been burned out.
only,
Regarding this appointment at the Beidou Gang headquarters,
Gu Zhan was a little confused.
He had never thought before that the Beidou Gang headquarters would let him be the helmsman, because, strictly speaking, he was actually only half a member of the Beidou Gang. Jin Yiwei's identity was given to him by the Beidou Gang, so he was half at best. Just one!
In addition, even if the Beidou Gang acquiesces that Jin Yiwei is one of their own, his age and qualifications are not enough to serve as the helmsman of the branch.
"Brother Gu!"
Just when Gu Zhan was confused, Mo Beiyan's voice came from outside the hall.
Gu Zhan turned around and saw Mo Beiyan walking in with a young woman carrying a long sword on her back.
As soon as he entered the door, Mo Beiyan said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Gu on your promotion. From now on, he will be a high-ranking member of the Beidou Gang. Looking at the whole Yunxi, he is considered a big shot!"
Gu Zhan sat down slowly, poured a cup of tea, and said, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Does Brother Mo really think this is something worth being happy about?"
"Hehe," Mo Beiyan smiled coquettishly and said, "Isn't it an elegant thing to have fun in the midst of hardship?"
Gu Zhan gently pushed the tea cup to Mo Beiyan and said, "It seems that you know what's going on?"
Mo Beiyan nodded, pointed at the woman beside him, and said, "Brother Gu, let me introduce to you. This is Ninth Sister's personal maid, Hongzhu, a great practitioner."
Gu Zhan took a look at the woman. She didn't look very old, only about thirty years old. She had a decent appearance. However, due to her years of martial arts practice, she had a very graceful figure. She was carrying a long sword and looked very handsome. He is capable and his first impression is that of heroic appearance.
Hongzhu immediately held up his hands and said, "My servant Hongzhu, I have met Mr. Gu."
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said, "Please sit down."
"Thank you, sir." Hongzhu cupped his hands and said, "I just want you to stand."
Gu Zhan could tell that Hongzhu was very particular about superiority and inferiority, so he did not pour tea for Hongzhu and asked directly: "Did Miss Jiuer ask you to inform me of something?"
Hongzhu nodded and said: "Miss asked my servant to come and tell you two that great changes are about to happen in Canglan City..."
Afterwards, Hongzhu told the story about the dispute between the eldest son and the fourth son in Canglan City, as well as the cooperation between Bai Jiuer and the fourth son.
"Mr. Gu, the reason why the eldest son makes you the helmsman is because he wants to divert the tiger away from the mountain. It is even possible that he will do something against you during the war between good and evil."
Mo Beiyan frowned and looked at Gu Zhan,
But Gu Zhan showed no expression.
Hongzhu continued: "Sixth Young Master, Young Master Gu, Miss wants you to make your own choices. She has only one purpose, and that is to clear the name of the Bai family. She hopes that you two will stop getting involved.
Now, with Pingyang Mansion and the black market outside Canglan City as bargaining chips, it is enough for the Fourth Young Master to fight to the death with the Eldest Young Master. Success or failure depends on this. The young lady can only do her best and obey fate. "
In the hall, several people were silent.
After a while, Mo Beiyan suddenly chuckled and said: "I have been worried that Ninth Sister is crazy, but I didn't expect that Ninth Sister has already looked away. It makes me worry in vain, for fear that she is crazy and only thinks about it. She was trying to support me without thinking about herself.
Now, since Ninth Sister has thought about it, there is nothing I can't let go of. Since Ninth Sister is bent on clearing my mother's name, how can I, a dignified man of seven feet, shrink back? I'm going to book Canglan City. , this time, I want to take my mother’s spiritual tablet into the Mo family ancestral hall! "
After all,
As if a heavy burden had been lifted, Mo Beiyan felt refreshed and refreshed. He stood up and cupped his hands towards Gu Zhan and said, "Brother Gu, thank you for taking me on this journey. These days are the happiest days of my life." , although I fail every time I imitate your arrogant attitude, but it is really enjoyable."
Gu Zhan raised his head slightly and chuckled: "Why, are you asking me to play a parting game?"
"Well," Mo Beiyan smiled awkwardly and said, "Aren't you thinking that we might not see each other again in the future? Let's say goodbye solemnly. Brother Gu, the whirlpool in Canglan City shouldn't involve you. With your current situation, With your cultivation level, you can go anywhere in the world. There is no need to take risks in Canglan City. If I die, remember to burn more paper for me during the holidays."
"No need to,"
Gu Zhan waved his hand and said: "I want to go to Canglan City too. I don't like being chased. The Liu family has already made it clear that the chariots and horses want to kill me for revenge. How can I hide? In addition, the Liu family has no intention of killing me. I have a way to survive.”
"What do you mean?" Mo Beiyan asked confused.
Gu Zhan said calmly: "You still look down on this eldest son. It seems to be a dirty trick, but it is actually a conspiracy. If I fail to see through it and participate in the battle between good and evil, he will let me go and never come back. If I If he finds out, he can arrange for people to surround me and kill me.
With the strength of the Liu family and the eldest son, it shouldn't be difficult to kill Gu Zhan who doesn't have the home advantage of Pingyang Mansion, right? Therefore, there is actually no way out for his plan. Of course, for me personally, I can choose both paths, but relatively speaking, I prefer to choose to go to Canglan City and kill him and turn the world upside down! "
