Chapter 64: The Test
Lu Ming instantly understood what Tie Lihua meant, this was to let him choose the first one, that is, to be promoted to the rank of eighth grade, and serve as the deputy commander of the demon division of Qinglan Town.
However, Lu Ming quickly vetoed this choice from the bottom of his heart. What he needs most now is undoubtedly a real eight-rank martial art, not an official rank.
Therefore, Lu Ming pretended not to see Tie Lihua's prompt, and decisively hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates are brave and want to make a second choice." ”
"Haha...... Both, it seems that you have all made a mistake, this Lord Xiao Lu is more courageous than you. Zhong Qianzhong immediately laughed when he heard this, and said to the other two people in the hall.
In addition to Tie Lihua, there was also a deputy commander sitting on Lu Ming's right hand who was not smiling, and it was that Zhang Qianmo.
"The commander is clever, and his subordinates are willing to gamble and lose. Zhang Qianmo showed a smile and waved his hand to put a heavy piece of gold on the table next to him.
Hum!
Tie Lihua snorted lowly, glared at Lu Ming, who was not squinting, and also shook his hand and put down a gold ingot.
"These three are really at ease, and they're actually betting on me. Lu Ming was slightly stunned, and had a further understanding of this great commander.
After Zhong Qianzhong laughed heartily, he looked at Lu Ming again and said, "Lu Ming, the old man will give you another chance." ”
"There is an eight-rank martial art in the Chuan Gong Hall, if you are willing to practice and get started within three days, the old man can also add you from the eight-rank official rank. How about killing two birds with one stone?" Zhong Qianzhong said with a smile.
"Is there such a good thing?" Lu Ming was overjoyed in his heart, and soon felt that something was wrong, how could he be taken care of like this if he was not related to the Great Commander?
Sure enough, Tie Lihua quickly stood up, clasped her fists at Zhong Qianzhong and said, "What the Great Commander said is the 'Stacking Waves Sword Technique'? As far as his subordinates know, no one has practiced this sword technique in the entire Donghua Mansion. ”
Old God Zhong Qianzhong took a sip of tea comfortably, and said with a smile: "Yes, so this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself." ”
"Lu Ming, either you have both, or you get nothing, do you want to gamble?" Zhong Qianzhong didn't give Tie Lihua a chance to speak again, looked directly at Lu Ming, and asked.
"This is really a good gambler, and I'm afraid he wants to test me in this way. Lu Ming heard it, if he couldn't get started within three days, it would be fame and fortune, and he wouldn't want to get another chance to be promoted.
Therefore, for ordinary people, this is definitely a big gamble related to the future. But for Lu Ming, who has sufficient time and space power to back, this is not a gamble at all, but a benefit sent over.
There was nothing to think about, Lu Ming deliberately gritted his teeth and groaned for a moment before he clenched his fists and said firmly: "My subordinates are willing to try it with all their might." ”
"Haha...... is so courageous, this can be regarded as a young man. Come, two adults, don't you want to add some color?" Zhong Qianzhong laughed heartily again, looked at Tie Lihua and Zhang Qianmo, and urged.
Tie Lihua glared at Lu Ming angrily, and snorted lightly: "Ten eight-grade qi and blood pills." ”
Lu Ming was happy again, ignoring Tie Lihua's dislike, and secretly excited. The Eight-Rank Qi and Blood Pill was naturally extracted from the Eight-Rank Treasure Pill, and its value was far higher than the few taels of gold just now.
This kind of pill, there is not much inventory in the entire Qinglan City, and it can only be made in places like Fucheng.
Zhang Qianmo was silent for a moment, glanced at Lu Ming with a cold expression, and spit out two words: "The same." ”
"Okay! That's it. Don't worry, the old man is very fair, if Lu Ming misses the opportunity, the vacancy from the seventh rank will be handed over to Deputy Commander Zhang for distribution. Zhong Qianzhong stroked his palm and smiled, and it was a word.
"Lu Ming, you can go to the Gong Transmission Hall to get the Gong Transmission Jade Slip later, and from now on, you will practice in this town demon division. Three days later, the old man took the school exam in person. Zhong Qianzhong looked at Lu Ming again and said one after another.
"Yes, thank you for your generous gifts. Lu Ming hurriedly bowed down.
"Go down, someone will take you to the temple. Zhong Qianzhong put away his smile and said lightly.
"Yes, the subordinates retired. Lu Ming clenched his fists and retreated a few steps before turning around and leaving the main hall.
The demon envoy of Jiupin Town, who was waiting at the door, had obviously been summoned, and took Lu Ming straight to the Chuangong Hall.
In the main hall, Zhang Qianmo quickly retired, leaving Tie Lihua to face the Great Commander, she actually showed some resentment: "Aren't you embarrassed for him, I know the difficulty of cultivating the Stacking Waves Sword Technique, I haven't been able to comprehend it, where is the ordinary eight-rank martial arts, they are all comparable to the seven-rank." ”
"Little Lihua, you are right, this sword technique is superior for the eight-rank true martial artist, but it is also a chicken rib for the seven-rank, and it is indeed not easy to practice. Zhong Qianzhong did not blame, but said with a peaceful smile on his face.
Seeing that Tie Lihua was still sulking, Zhong Qianzhong sighed slightly, and said gloomily: "I don't know, but this sword technique is a proud work created by my dead disciple, and the old man really can't bear to put it on the shelf, and there is no heir." ”
Tie Lihua stepped forward and personally poured tea for Zhong Qianzhong, and said in a gentle voice: "Senior Brother Zhao died unexpectedly in order to investigate the case of demons and evils, has the murderer never been found?"
Zhong Qianzhong's eyes flashed, and he said: "Those demons and evils were all slaughtered by my own hands, but there is no way to find out who is behind them, I am unwilling." ”
"By the way, I heard that you were ambushed on the road on this trip, but fortunately you were not injured, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it to my old friend. Zhong Qianzhong put away his strong color and said with some concern.
"I'm fine, I don't have to worry about him, Uncle Zhong can rest assured. Tie Lihua returned to her seat and said with a cold face.
"You, or else, you should go back to the Demon Division of Fucheng Town, and I will take care of you." Zhong Qianzhong said helplessly.
Tie Lihua's heart crossed the burly and wooden figure, and she shook her head firmly and said, "I'm not coming back, it's too uncomfortable here." And, I'll protect myself. ”
Zhong Qianzhong doted and said helplessly: "It's okay, whatever you want." I will investigate the murderer this time, and if you need anything, please summon me at any time. Or, I'll send you two masters to assist you?"
Tie Lihua glared at Zhong Qianzhong and said, "I'm not a child anymore, you better check the city first, last time I was suddenly transferred, someone must want to secretly help Qinglan County Ya." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm going to get those guys out and give you a breath. Zhong Qianzhong replied with a smile.
"Let's go, if Lu Ming can't get started in three days, I'll settle accounts with you again. Tie Lihua got up and walked outside, leaving behind a sentence that made Zhong Qianzhong think about it.
"Could it be that Xiao Lihua suddenly fell in love, fell in love with the kid, and wanted the old cow to eat tender grass...... Tsk, is this a good thing or a bad thing!"
