Chapter 163: The Grand Duke's Reward
Kan Jing and the Bull Demon King, Gu Yutong, Shen Bijun, Zhang Xinyi, Zhao Jiangfeng and Liu Ruyan and a group of henchmen heard Chen Ning's words, and thought that Chen Ning did not hand over the zombie brain nucleus because Chen Ning was also angry.
After all, Chen Ning's merits are obvious to all, and the entire Black Army also risked their lives to rush to the aid of Qingxiu City, everyone has done so many things, and the top has given such a small reward, which makes everyone a little dissatisfied.
Everyone felt that Chen Ning was dissatisfied in his heart, and it was normal not to hand over the zombie brain core.
In fact, what they didn't know was that because Chen Ning was a demigod, the zombie brain nucleus was of great use to Chen Ning, not to mention that the quality of the zombie brain nuclei in their hands was very high, and there was even a level 10 zombie lord brain core, Chen Ning wanted to keep this batch of zombie brain cores and improve his strength.
Just when everyone was indignant, a soldier came in and said that Makino had visited.
Chen Ning met with Makino, who was also a little disappointed, and he told Chen Ning: "We fought side by side with the rebels, and after the battle, most of the soldiers and civilians in Qingxiu City chose to join the rebels, and they were regarded as humiliation and slapped by the top, so they will not reward us lavishly." Brother Chen, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you this time. ”
Chen Ning said lightly: "It's okay, there are considerations from above, let's do our job well." ”
Makino nodded: "I and the eldest princess and their legions are going to return to Qinglong City, if you come to Qinglong City in the future, remember to come to me for a drink." ”
Chen Ning: "Okay!"
Makino didn't linger long, chatted with Chen Ning for a few words, and then said goodbye.
In the afternoon, Makino's July Flame Legion, Gangneung's Tulip Legion, and several other legions all left and returned to Qinglong City.
However, what Chen Ning didn't expect was that the Metropolitan Governor, who had not moved for a few days, actually sent someone to summon Chen Ning.
Chen Ning only took Kan Jing and went to the City Lord's Mansion to meet the Grand Governor.
The Metropolitan Governor is still gentle and elegant, and treats Chen Ning like a teacher treats a student.
After inquiring about the current situation of Chen Ning's Black Legion, he said to Chen Ning with a smile: "Chen Ning, you are not a talent selected by me, the Black Legion has been established for less than half a year, and there are only a thousand regular soldiers, so you have already performed so well, which shows that you are very talented." ”
Chen Ning said modestly: "It's all the Metropolitan Governor's guidance, and in addition, I have Major Kan Jing by my side who has been helping me, and this is not my credit alone." ”
When the Metropolitan Governor heard Chen Ning's words, he glanced at Kan Jing intentionally or unintentionally, and the Metropolitan Governor faintly felt that Chen Ning was inviting credit to Kan Jing.
In the matter of rewarding Chen Ning and Muye, the Metropolitan Governor deliberately suppressed Chen Ning and did not give Chen Ning much reward. That's because Chen Ning is mixed up with Muye, and now in private, the Metropolitan Governor still doesn't mind selling Chen Ning a little face and winning over Chen Ning.
Therefore, he immediately said, "Major Suga used to be a member of the Immortal Bird Legion, right?"
Kan Jing's waist straightened: "Report to the Grand Governor, yes, I used to train recruits at the Blue Bird Base of the Immortal Bird Legion, and later transferred to the front line and was in charge of the logistics department. About half a year ago, Colonel Chen Ning wanted to form a legion, and Major General Qin Que allowed me to leave the Immortal Bird Legion and transfer to the Black Storm Legion to help. ”
The Metropolitan Governor smiled: "Qin Que was also promoted by the Metropolitan Governor at the beginning, just like Chen Ning. I noticed that Kan Jing, your rank has not been promoted for a long time, and this time the reward for your black army is small. In this way, I will ask the military department to raise your rank by one level and promote you to lieutenant colonel. ”
"Governor Xie. ”
Kan Jing was a little happy, but she knew that she could be promoted to the rank entirely because of Chen Ning.
The Metropolitan Governor rewarded Sugan, then turned his head to look at Chen Ning, and said with a faint smile: "Your reward for Chen Ning has come down, but I haven't decided on your reward yet." Say, Chen Ning, you can ask for any reward from me, but it doesn't matter, even if you want to be a major general, I can promote you exceptionally. When I promoted Qin Que against public opinion, Qin Que finally became the jade of our empire, and now that I promote you exceptionally, you may not be able to become the next Qin Que. ”
The words of the Metropolitan Governor not only made Chen Ning stupid, but even Suga was stunned.
Kan Jing quickly recovered from the shock, and looked at the eyes of the Metropolitan Governor a little different. This Metropolitan Governor can sit on the first chair of the military department, and he really has his strength, not to mention that he is a 12-level general, just because of his ability to command, no one can beat him.
Chen Ning made a meritorious contribution this time, and the Metropolitan Governor severely suppressed Chen Ning in terms of imperial rewards, and in the end, the empire only gave a small number of rewards.
Let the people of the Black Army complain in private!
However, now in private, the Metropolitan Governor said that he would reward Chen Ning as the Metropolitan Governor.
Among them, Kan Jing can see it. The empire rewarded less, Chen Ning and they had complaints, and the metropolitan governor rewarded himself heavily, Chen Ning must not only eliminate the resentment, but also change the metropolitan governor to be grateful to Dade, and in the future, Chen Ning even had average feelings for the empire, and was only loyal to the metropolitan governor alone.
This is exactly what the Metropolitan wants!
The Metropolitan Governor wants to suppress this hand, uses the empire to suppress Chen Ning, and takes care of Chen Ning in every way, how can Chen Ning not be loyal to him?
Kan Jing secretly looked at Chen Ning, and Chen Ning was really a little flattered.
However, Chen Ning was not carried away by the huge temptation, Qin Que was able to become a major general, not only because he was a level 10 general, but also because the Qin family was a wealthy family in the empire, and he was a boy from a slum, and now he was only a seventh-level general, so he would be a major general, who would obey him?
Chen Ning still understands the principle of accumulating grain and slowly becoming king, before his strength is not enough, honor will only be a burden.
For example, his previous title of martial champion caused a lot of people to be jealous, and even many people wanted to clean up their martial champions, including Makino and Lei Gong at the beginning, if he hadn't kicked his strength to the double seventh level in time at that time, he would have been slapped in the face by Makino at that time.
Therefore, Chen Ning did not take advantage of the fact that he wanted the rank of major general, but seriously thought about it and said to the metropolitan governor: "How can I dare to compare with Major General Qin Que, and now I can be promoted to the rank of colonel, I am already on the rise." If the Metropolitan Governor has to reward me, then my only request is to allow the Black Legion to expand in size, so that the Black Legion can be more effective and better serve the Grand Governor. ”
Kan Jing has always been worried that Chen Ning will say the wrong thing, because tonight it is obvious that the Metropolitan Governor is trying to win over Chen Ning and make Chen Ning more loyal.
When she heard Chen Ning's last sentence, saying that she wanted to better serve the Metropolitan Governor, she was relieved.
Because she found out that Chen Ning was not stupid, if the Metropolitan Governor rewarded Chen Ning in his private capacity tonight, but Chen Ning said that he would serve the empire well, although it was not wrong, but the Metropolitan Governor would not get the response he wanted, and he would definitely not be very happy in his heart, and even the reward promised to Chen Ning might not be realized.
After all, most of the governors rewarded Chen Ning heavily, didn't it just make Chen Ning follow him with all his heart and be loyal to him, if Chen Ning was not sensible, who would be willing to reward and cultivate Chen Ning?
Therefore, Chen Ning's last sentence made the corners of Dadudu's mouth rise slightly, and he smiled with satisfaction.
Immediately, the Grand Governor said: "If you don't say that I have forgotten, so let's allow you to expand the Black Legion to 5,000 men, the same size as the July Flowing Fire Legion." In addition, I will personally sponsor you 500,000 gold coins for you to use to expand the size of the legion, and I will also instruct the logistics department to send you the rest of the equipment and materials. ”
Chen Ning said in surprise: "Thank you, Metropolitan Governor!"
The Metropolitan Governor smiled: "Okay, it's not too early, you guys should step down!"
Chen Ning and Kan Jing retired together, and the two of them went out of the city lord's mansion, Kan Jing looked at Chen Ning who was smiling and couldn't hide her joy, she said angrily: "You guy, most of the governors gave you a stick first, and after beating you, they gave you a candy, are you so happy?"
Chen Ning said with a smile: "One hand stick and one hand candy, every superior person does this." ”
Kan Kwan: "It seems that you don't mind the methods of the Grand Governor. ”
Chen Ning said lightly: "The Metropolitan Governor wants to use me, I want to be cultivated by the Metropolitan Governor, to put it simply, he wants to support a usable person, I want to get his reuse, I have to improve my use value." All means, in the end, are blamed for profit, so I looked away. ”
Kan Jing looked at Chen Ning: "I found a little." ”
Chen Ning was stunned: "What?"
Kan Zhen said eloquently: "I don't think you guys are stupid at all, and you are a chicken thief." Tell me, do you deliberately play stupid with me?"
Chen Ning blinked: "What?"
Kan Jing rolled his eyes: "I think you're pretending to be stupid again." ”
