"What did you say? That new Commander knocked out Guard Ding's son, tied him up and brought him to the County Government, and even charged him with rebellion?! "
Jiang City, Navy Barracks. The barracks that were located by the Luo River were brightly lit. In the main camp, the few main leaders of the Navy of Jiang City were sitting by the lamp. Under the flickering light, they didn't look well.
Of course, they were not good. The Navy of Jiang City was their territory, especially the current Deputy Commander of the Navy, Wang Cheng. They originally thought that after Gao Gong's death, he would naturally become the Commander of the Navy of Jiang City. They did not expect that Li Yuan, who was far away in Zhonghe City, would suddenly appoint a Commander, which completely destroyed their wishful thinking.
"Zhou Bao, the guy who fought against the Elders of the Pei and Luo families in Zhonghe City and sold a favor to Wang She of Tian Long Taoism?!"
Wang Cheng was a strong man in his forties. His cultivation was not high, only at Level Three, but he was a grass-roots officer who had risen from the bottom of the Navy of Jiang City. He had quite a bit of prestige in the Navy of Jiang City. There were four other people gathered with him. The one sitting closest to him was a young man in his thirties. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he looked weak. His name was Jiang Xiao, a captain of the Navy of Jiang City. Among the other three, two were also captains, and the other was a quartermaster.
Although Jiang City was located in a Stronghold, it was a small place. It was just a county. The County Magistrate was only a Level Seven official, and the Garrison was a Secondary Level Seven official. A Navy Commander like Junior Leopard sounded like a Commander with great prestige, but he was just a small Level Eight official at most.
There were not many people in the Navy Barracks. Including those who carried the flag, lit the fire, and reared the horses, there were only about 500 people. Actually, there were only about 300 people who could really be deployed. These 300 people were divided into three teams, led by the three captains of the barracks.
"Who cares where he came from? This is Jiang City, not Zhonghe City. Here, even if he is a dragon, he will become a worm!"
"Zhu Ba, don't talk nonsense!" Hearing this, Jiang Xiao's expression changed and he shouted in a low voice.
"What's wrong, gigolo? He hasn't arrived yet and you're already trying to curry favor with the new master!" The man called Zhu Ba shouted in a strange tone.
"Shut up when I tell you to. Listen to what Jiang Xiao has to say!" Wang Cheng said. "Jiang Xiao, tell me, how should we deal with this matter?!"
Wang Cheng trusted Jiang Xiao very much. Although Jiang Xiao was born in the army, he was different from them. His father was a Xiucai and he learned to read from his father since he was young. However, it was easy for a Xiucai to learn to read, but it was hard for him to support his family. His family was so poor that his father died in an accident. Although he knew how to read and read, he did not have the ability to take the imperial examinations. In order to make a living, he joined the army.
Unexpectedly, after joining the army, his luck took a turn for the better. He was born intelligent and had good aptitude. Although he learned the standard martial arts of the army, he improved very quickly. In addition, he knew how to read and read. Compared to the ordinary soldiers, he knew more, saw more, and had more ideas. He was deeply appreciated by his superiors. Therefore, in just a few years, he was promoted from a small soldier to a small team leader. He was also the confidant of the former Navy Commander, Gao Gong. He could be considered as a think tank. Although the soldiers he led did not make many contributions in every battle, they definitely had the least casualties. Therefore, he was deeply loved and respected by his subordinates. Therefore, his status rose all the way until he became one of the three team leaders of the Navy of Jiang City.
At the same time, he was also a person who knew how to conduct himself. Not only did he have a good relationship with his superiors and subordinates, but he also had a good relationship with several team leaders. He could be said to be slick with people. In the entire Navy of Jiang City, except for Zhu Ba, everyone else had a very harmonious relationship with him.
As for Zhu Ba, he was known as the bravest person in the Navy of Jiang City. His cultivation had also reached Level Three. He was the purest Qiu Ba. His surname was Zhu, and because there was a red knife scar from the corner of his eye to his chin on his left cheek, he was called Zhu Ba by others when he was still a small soldier. Until now, no one remembered his real name.
"I think everyone has heard of Zhou Bao's name. In Zhonghe City, he has done great things. Even in the martial arts world today, among the younger generation, I'm afraid that only those young people who have been cultivated by the real aristocratic families can compete with him!" Jiang Xiao said, his eyes revealing a look of emotion and envy.
"No matter how powerful he is, he is just a young boy. No matter how strong his martial arts is, his cultivation is only at Level Three. Here, he can't do anything!" Hearing Jiang Xiao's praise of Junior Leopard, Zhu Ba was still dissatisfied in his heart.
"Martial arts is only one aspect!" Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Since the news came, I began to collect information about this Zhou Bao. He is famous, so it was easy to collect information. From the information I got, this Zhou Bao is very troublesome and we can't deal with him. So, I suggest that during this period of time, we'd better behave!" Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Cheng helplessly. "Commander, what do you think?"
"You gigolo, you only know how to boost others' prestige and destroy your own morale. Why can't I see how troublesome he is?"
"Do you think he is easy to deal with?" Jiang Xiao smiled and gently tapped the table with his finger. "I can tell you, this Zhou Bao is the most difficult person I have ever seen. If you don't believe me, you can try!"
"Let's try. What's so great about a little boy who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth?" Zhu Ba said angrily.
"Zhu Ba, shut up!" Wang Cheng shouted coldly and glared at Zhu Ba, who was spitting saliva all over the place.
"Jiang Xiao, continue. Tell us in detail how difficult he is to deal with!"
"Yes!" Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "First of all, his martial arts are excellent. Although it is said that his cultivation is only at Level Three, which is equal to most of the people here, don't forget that in the underground fire vein of Zhonghe City, he has blocked several experts whose cultivation is above Level Four. This is not a rumor in Jianghu, but has been fully confirmed. So, it can be said that his combat capability is far beyond Level Three. To be honest, I believe that even if all of you here fight together, you will not lose to him!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Jiang Xiao sneered and said, "He is a disciple of the Wu Sect, and what he practices is the profound martial arts of Tian Long Taoism. We are just ordinary soldiers, and what we practice is the standard martial arts of the army. How can we compare? To make an inappropriate example, he has a long saber made of fine steel in his hand, and what we have is just a long saber made of wood and coated with a layer of silver paint. Although the appearance is the same, if we really fight, can the wood in your hand resist his fine steel? "
Everyone was silent for a while. Although Jiang Xiao exaggerated, the fact was in front of them. These people all practiced martial arts, how could they not know the reason?
Practicing the standard martial arts of the army, no matter how high one's aptitude and ability were, they could only reach Level Three at most. The reason was that the efficiency and effect of the standard martial arts of the army in refining the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth were very poor. However, even if they practiced for a lifetime, they could not get ahead.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Jiang Xiao continued, "Martial arts is only one aspect. Look at his background. He is a disciple of the Wu Sect, and not an ordinary inner core disciple. He is the direct disciple of the current Elder of the Wu Sect, the core disciple of the inner core. He is the most promising person in the younger generation of the Wu Sect, and also the first disciple in the past 200 years who is most likely to become the Elder of the Wu Family before the age of 20. Even if his cultivation has not reached Level Four, in Zhonghe City, he has made great contributions to the Wu Family. He is the Seneschal of the Wu Family in Zhonghe City. Although this Seneschal is only in name, who can ignore it? There is also a branch of the Wu Family in Jiang City. Look at our Magistrate and Guard Ding. When they meet the Seneschal and the Great Master of the Wu Family, which one of them is not polite? Zhou Bao, the Seneschal of Zhonghe City, has a much higher status than the Seneschal of the Wu Family in Jiang City. From this point of view, this newly appointed Level Eight commander has a much higher status than the Magistrate and Guard Ding of Jiang City. "
Jiang Xiao leisurely and slowly analyzed, "This is only the second reason. The third reason is that he is rich, very rich. With him in Zhonghe City, the Wu Family can continuously get huge benefits from the underground fire vein that the other three families can't get. As the key figure of all this, do you think the Wu Family will mistreat him? With the financial and material resources of the Wu Family, as long as they can get a little profit from the underground fire vein, it will be an amazing wealth in the eyes of others. Not to mention that they got 19 Fire Way Spiritual Stones from Wang She. Even if one of these Fire Way Spiritual Stones is sold, I'm afraid it will be more valuable than all the assets of all the people here, right?! "
Everyone in the camp was silent again.
Jiang Xiao was right. They had only heard of the Spiritual Stone. For them, it was a legendary thing. Even if they were tied up and sold, they would not be worth the price of a stone.
"Young, strong martial arts, we can't compare with him. He is famous in Jianghu and has a strong background, we can't compare with him. He has great wealth and treasures of heaven and earth, we can't compare with him. How can we compete with him?" Jiang Xiao said leisurely, with a trace of helplessness in his tone.
"So, there is really no way?" Zhu Ba listened to Jiang Xiao's analysis and finally began to feel guilty.
"What do you mean by there is a way? What do you mean by there is no way?" Jiang Xiao said, glancing at Wang Cheng, "This matter may not be a bad thing for us. It is even an opportunity!"
"You mean, rely on this guy?" Wang Cheng was also a smart man. After thinking for a while, he understood Jiang Xiao's meaning.
"The Commander of the Navy of Jiang City, for you and me, may be a lucrative job. But for people like him, it is a joke!" His words were a little harsh. Everyone in the camp did not look good, but they did not say anything. Because they also knew that although this guy's words were a little harsh, what he said was the truth.
"He is so young. The Commander of the Navy of Jiang City is just a small stepping stone for him. Maybe he doesn't even care about this position. It's just that he can't disobey the Admiral's order. Even if he comes, I guess he will not care about these bullsh * t things in Jiang City!"
"Then what is he doing here?"
