Chapter 33

Juggernaut?

Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan glanced at each other, one of them was a water thief who was mixed with rivers, lakes and seas, and the other was a common man living in Xuzhou, and they had never heard of the name of the Sword Saint Wang Yue. However, when the two of them heard the word Sword Master, they knew that the person just now must be an unimaginably powerful master.

Wang Yue was born as a ranger, practiced swordsmanship since childhood, learned the law of heaven and earth, and after taking refuge in the Han royal family, he obtained countless royal cultivation exercises, learned from others, and finally reached today's realm. Revered by rangers all over the world.

Gao Cheng briefly said Wang Yue's identity, and Jiang Qin's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing admiration. The super master of refining the Gang Ninefold is a monument for any martial artist who practices physically.

And although Xu Xuan was shocked by Wang Yue's cultivation, he didn't care too much. After he practiced the Tiangang Thunder Spirit Method given by Gao Cheng, he was deeply immersed in this kind of soul refining method, and every day in his spare time, he was studying various Taoist classics, and his cultivation was rising day by day. It is transforming towards a pure soul refining cultivator.

After stopping at the inn for a while, Gao Cheng took the two of them to prepare a generous gift again and went to Zhang Rang's mansion. Since it is hopeless to befriend Yuan Shao, now the only way to find this Zhongchang servant is to find it.

Zhang Rang's mansion is close to the palace, occupying a large street, from the outside, it is luxurious and magnificent, and the palace is nothing more than that, the servants guarding the gate are all powerful warriors with sufficient energy, and they have at least four layers of strength.

Contrary to the servant in front of Yuan Shao's door, after the porter of the middle and regular servants saw Gao Cheng, his attitude was not very good at first, but when he saw the generous gift prepared by Gao Cheng, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he became very respectful, and welcomed the three of them into the mansion.

"Xiaguan Huai'an County Lieutenant Gao Cheng, meet Zhang Hou!"

After Gao Cheng came to the hall, he saw a man with a feminine face kneeling on top of him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. The feminine man on the opposite side is the famous Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang. Now he is made a liehou by the emperor and has great power in the Han Dynasty.

At this time, Xu Xuan and Jiang Qin were left outside the room, and there was no one else in the hall except for Zhang Rang, Gao Cheng, and two eunuchs serving on the side.

Gao Cheng secretly sensed that Zhang Rang in front of him seemed to have a hidden qi in his body, dense and poisonous, as if he had cultivated superior exercises, and he had the realm of seven layers of training power, and could easily kill well-trained soldiers.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Rang nodded and said, "Get up, County Lieutenant Gao, you give us a generous gift, you must be asking us to do something, let's say, what's the matter?"

He directly said Gao Cheng's purpose, like this kind of person who is active for the official position, he has seen a lot. Collecting money to do things is Zhang Rang's code of conduct, if Gao Cheng asks for something beyond his ability, he will even return the gift he sent.

Buying officials and buying officials has been regarded by Zhang Rang as an exclusive business, and he pays the most attention to honesty in business, so he is calm and calm, and he does not live up to the guilt of His Majesty's trust.

Gao Cheng said: "Zhang Hou Ming saw that he was originally the lieutenant of Huai'an County, and not long ago under the command of Tao Gong, the assassin of Xuzhou, led the troops to exterminate the Yellow Turban Rebellion and made a meritorious contribution, and Tao Gong recommended me as the governor of Langya!

"Oh, Langya Changshi, I want to change to Taishou!"

When Zhang Rang heard this, his narrow eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he said slowly: "Gao Cheng, it's not that we don't do anything after receiving the gift, it's really too important to keep the position of the Taishou, Xuzhou has a lot of money and grain, there are a total of five counties, once the position of the Taishou changes, it will attract the attention of the court, your age is too young, and there is no hope of becoming the Taishou of Xuzhou!"

Gao Cheng said: "Zhang Hou is afraid that he has misunderstood, of course the lower officials know this, and they don't dare to expect to ascend to the position of Taishou in Xuzhou, and the next thing they want is to go to Yangzhou!"

Zhang Rang's expression moved, "Yangzhou, this is still a little hopeful, but now only the two counties of Yuzhang and Lujiang can be active, these two counties, which one do you want to go to?"

Gao Cheng's expression was happy, and his heart was spinning quickly, among the six counties of Yangzhou, Lujiang County and Jiujiang County are north of the Yangtze River, of which Jiujiang is the land of Huainan, and the future Wei State and Wu State have been holding each other here for decades, and countless conflicts have broken out.

If the princes of the south want to gain a foothold, the two places of Jingzhou and Huainan must be in their hands. It's a pity that Jiujiang County is the essence of Yangzhou, and the position of Taishou is very important, even if the current emperor has a brain, he will not appoint Gao Cheng, a young man with no family background, to become Jiujiang Taishou.

"Yuzhang is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, the area is vast but almost uninhabited, Lujiang County is adjacent to Huainan, and the north crosses the Huaishui is Yuzhou, at this time Yuzhou is full of displaced people, if I can become the Lujiang Taishou, migrate the displaced people, reclaim wasteland, and soon be able to stabilize the foundation!"

Soon, Gao Cheng made a decision, raised his head and said, "I am willing to go to Lujiang County!"

Zhang Rang laughed and said, "Okay! Then Lujiang County, in addition to His Majesty's 50 million money, you also have to prepare 20 million yuan, which is the cost of the upper and lower amounts!"

Gao Cheng arched his hand and said: "Zhang Hou rest assured, after an hour, 20 million yuan will be presented by the officials!"

Zhang Rang glanced at Gao Cheng appreciatively, the young man in front of him acted decisively and with extraordinary momentum, and he seemed to be a masterpiece. He admires this kind of interesting and capable talent.

"If there is nothing else, you can step down!" He waved his hand, although he had some appreciation for Gao Cheng in his heart, he still had to collect the money that should be collected, and no one should be missing, this was his own rule.

"Retire!" Gao Cheng arched his hand and left.

After leaving Zhang Rang's mansion, Xu Xuan hurriedly asked, "Lord, did this trip go well?

After Xu Xuan and Jiang Qin joined Gao Cheng to become a general, they got some trust from Gao Cheng and knew the purpose of his trip, if Gao Cheng could become a county guard in Yangzhou, they would also get great benefits as a general, and it would no longer be a dream to make contributions to the glorious lintel in the future.

Gao Cheng didn't speak, and only after returning to the inn did he say: "Zhang Rang has already agreed, or it won't be long before the imperial court appoints me as the Taishou of Lujiang!"

Xu Xuan and Jiang Qin were overjoyed when they heard this, and Lujiang was too guarded. This is a high-ranking official who presides over the fate of millions of people in a county. They took refuge in Gao Cheng in order to make meritorious contributions, and the higher Gao Cheng's status, the happier they were as subordinates.

Gao Cheng had calmed down the excitement in his heart at this time, and said, "Xu Xuan, Jiang Qin, you take someone to escort 20 million yuan and give it to Zhang Rang." Don't keep him waiting!"

Hearing the amount of 20 million yuan, the joy on Xu Xuan and Jiang Qin's faces suddenly dissipated a lot, 20 million yuan, I didn't expect Zhang Rang to dare to open his mouth so much! This amount of money is enough to settle hundreds of thousands of homeless people, and it was given to Zhang Rang for nothing, which made the two of them extremely heartbroken.

However, for Gao Cheng, as long as he can become the Taishou of Lujiang and have his own first foundation, it is worth paying no matter how much he pays.

After sending Jiang Qin and Xu Xuan out, he did not wait stupidly at the inn, but went to the city to enjoy the prosperity of the divine capital. It was the first time he had seen such a majestic city, the Jinling City built by him when he was in the Heavenly World was huge and strong, but it was less than one-fifth of the city in front of him.
