Chapter 43: If I Were a Mountain
The Governor of the North Wind Prefecture listened silently, ignoring the gaze of the Governor of Thousand Mountains City who glanced over with his head down, he had already guessed a lot of information from the content of the reward, but there were some things that were difficult to determine.
But this is normal, if the decision of the Martial King is so easy for anyone to figure it out, wouldn't it be easy to cater to his preferences?
The mayor of Qianshan City secretly calculated his merits, and when he heard that the merit document said that Shan Qianqi was a heaven-level hundred general, he calculated it, and after the punishment was confiscated, it happened that she was enough for a heaven-level hundred general, but she couldn't be a wilderness-level thousand general.
The candidate for marriage was Feng Yin of Harvest City, which made him feel that King Xuantian Wu was clearly intentional, but what did it mean?
But there is no way to know for sure.
It seems that Li Tianzhao suddenly grew up with Harvest City as his own person.
However, Li Tianzhao was allowed to take the position of deputy mayor of the two cities at the same time.
The deputy mayor is actually a product of enough merit, but the position of the city mayor is limited. In other words, the deputy city chief is not a subordinate of the city chief, and they are all under the orders of the ten thousand generals to whom they belong. The mayor and the deputy mayor each have their own merits, that is, at some level, it is a relationship of resource competition, but they belong to the same city, and more often than not, it is a cooperative relationship.
The deputy mayor needs to have his own warriors, stationed in one city, and still have to face fierce competition for resources with the city chief and other deputy mayors, and lead the deputy mayors of two cities at the same time, who can take care of it?
According to common sense, Li Tianzhao was promoted to a thousand generals, and he should be transferred to another city, but the situation was abnormal.
The head of the Reward and Punishment Hall finally announced: "The chief of Harvest City is not effective in supervising, so that the soldiers of Harvest City do not know how to kill the enemy bravely and make meritorious contributions, but instead rise up in groups to rob others of their own merits, punish half of the merits of the Xuan level, and punish the big admonitions." The soldiers of the Xuantian Martial King should be wholeheartedly devoted to killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and should learn from Li Tianzhao's loyalty and courage of a thousand generals!"
"King Xie Wu forgives! From today onwards, I will strictly supervise and never commit it again!"
Originally, this trip to the Cloud Realm thought that he could earn a lot and had a great chance of being promoted from a thousand generals to the prefecture level, but he was eaten and wiped clean by the mayor of Thousand Mountains City and Li Tianzhao!
It's clear that he is at home, but he only has a credit for support!
Originally, he had made up his mind that he would not be able to stand apart from now on!
But now...... King Wu personally married Feng Yin to Li Tianzhao as his second wife.
If he was replaced by someone else, he would be one less woman in the Feng family.
But, Ke Fengyin is no one else!
The mayor of Harvest City felt that his trip was in response to one sentence: I lost my wife and broke my soldiers!
Although Li Tianzhao was completely unprepared for the matter of having an extra wife, this was an honor given by King Wu, and no one could say no, so he could only accept it.
In any case, a special honor, because the normal situation is monogamy.
At least, he hadn't heard of it before, and there was such a reward.
The thousand-patterned sword that the hall master of the Reward and Punishment Hall personally handed over to him was the seal of the thousand generals, and in addition, there was a metal bead containing memory fragments, just like when the hundred generals were in the past.
Li Tianzhao already had experience, and he pierced the sword on the spot, allowing the war seal to absorb the memories inside.
'This is the power of the Thousand Battles General's War Seal?' Li Tianzhao felt that surging power beyond imagination, and the power of his body seal was insignificant compared to it!
Only then did he understand, and it was no wonder that Shan Qianqi said that the body seal had no value for special cultivation. Originally, it was much weaker than the battle seal of the hundred battle generals, and compared with the thousand war generals, there was really only the actual meaning of the battle seal stunt.
Since the woodcutter has emphasized it, I still have to persevere in the body seal. Every time I kill a hundred battles, there is an influx of power in the body seal, it should be my thousand kills power awakening, the so-called thousand kills, maybe the body seal will only appear when it is strong to a certain extent!' Li Tianzhao experienced the power of this battle seal, and was looking at the sword body of the Thousand Pattern Sword, feeling that the forging process and texture were much higher than the Hundred Pattern Sword.
Originally, he thought that the Baiwen Sword was very good, but at this time, he realized that he could make the sword better. So I couldn't help but wonder, could the Ten Thousand Pattern Sword of the Ten Thousand Warriors be better?
It's a pity that he knows the person of the Ten Thousand Warriors of Beifeng Prefecture, and he is not familiar enough to borrow people's swords to see, so he can only be curious in his heart.
The head of the Reward and Punishment Hall also asked people to hand over Shan Qianqi's Hundred Battle Seals and Hundred Pattern Sword, as well as merit documents, to Li Tianzhao.
Li Tian took care of him and was leaving, hurriedly put away the thousand-pattern sword, and said: "Last time, I didn't get the merit document for some reason, and I have always had doubts about the merit distribution, hoping to receive the document directly." ”
The head of the reward and punishment hall asked people to look for it, and while waiting, the mayor of Qianshan City knew what Li Tianzhao was going to do, so he called him aside and whispered: "Don't worry about the past anymore, it is impossible to change without evidence." Now they are ashamed of you in the end, and when you have something to use in the future, they will do their best to help according to the rules and repay you. If you have to pursue it, you have turned all the helpers you owe to you into enemies, and it will not help you. ”
“...... Some people, I can think so. But those conspirators who don't even recognize me have encroached on my unique merits, how can I be silent? Even if I don't have the evidence, I want them to know that taking advantage of my merits is embezzlement, and if I can't get it back, I will have to bear this notoriety, and I will have to wait for my Li Tianzhao's counterattack! If I acquiesce, isn't that telling others that whoever wants to encroach on my merits can come and occupy them?" Li Tianzhao was annoyed when he said this, and although he had not yet seen the merit documents, he had almost guessed the situation in the meantime.
"You are already a thousand generals, and in the future, your merits will mainly depend on leading your troops, and you will no longer be fighting in battle as a means of obtaining merit. Now you can kill a hundred generals as little as you can kill a ten generals when you are a hundred generals. Fight fast alone, or command many hundred generals to kill the enemy together and accumulate merit quickly?" The mayor of Qianshan City put his heart into his heart, he thought about it from the beginning, although he and Li Tianzhao's merits will be independent in the future, but Qianshan City already has multiple deputy mayors, Li Tianzhao is his own person, of course, it should be based on cooperation and mutual benefit.
"I understand the kindness of the city chief, I should have listened to the city chief about the affairs of the thousand war generals, but on the issue of merit being encroached upon, I must not be silent, and I will not rest with them until I get it back!" Li Tianzhao made up his mind, he had been thinking about this matter in Baishan Town for so long, where would he be persuaded by others?
"The first and foremost basis of the Dharma of the Nation is to stand with them and to share their honors and disgraces. If you are reluctant to give them points, how can you let them give them points to you? This is tantamount to the target of public criticism. What you need is to have strong roots and a strong body, so that you will not fall down, rather than growing up and being blown down by the wind. "The mayor of Qianshan City hasn't bothered to speak so much for a long time, usually it's just concern, and it's just a sentence to the end, it's best to understand, and it's best to understand it. Others are not as important as his children, so what do you do when you say so much?
"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, what if I am a mountain?" Li Tianzhao did not accept this concept, he believed that the Xuantian Martial King's own merit rules were the most courageous, positive, and just way.
He put aside the rules set by the Martial King and didn't follow them, but he had to accept all kinds of unspoken rules for everyone to mix up their merits together?
The mayor of Thousand Mountains City was stunned...... He knew that Li Tianzhao was confident and even a little arrogant, but he still didn't expect him to be so proud.
In that case, what is the use of his persuasion?
The people of the Hall of Reward and Punishment relied on the information they had kept, remade a merit document, and when they came, they whispered to the hall master: "This merit document is only a record of one access, and it has not been said that it needs to be replaced if it is lost." ”
The head of the Hall of Rewards and Punishments has rich experience, and he already knows it in his heart, and after hearing this, he basically determined the situation.
Li Tian took care of many unknown names above, but he lost the most credit.
The most hateful thing is that the woman in white who was captured by Tiancang Mountain at that time turned out to be captured by another group of people, and their Wangtian Village team turned out to be an algorithm for support and assistance.
"How can this be reasonable! This matter is completely my sole work, these people who don't know at all and have never met in Tiancang Mountain not only share the merit, but also take the lion's share! Under the rule of King Xuantian Wu, there can be such an abominable thing!" Li Tianzhao recalled the situation at that time, and he knew why he sent the woman in white over first.
The head of the Reward and Punishment Hall listened to his accusations very calmly, and the head of Qianshan City sighed secretly, he couldn't help this matter if he wanted to, not to mention, he couldn't interfere.
After Li Tianzhao said, the head of the Hall of Rewards and Punishments said: "This matter will be investigated by the Hall of Rewards and Punishments, and if there is tangible evidence, the relevant people will be severely punished." In the surviving documents, they asked for swords as proof, and there was a war seal as evidence that they had captured the heart of Chaos. Qianzhan will not have a war seal as proof, so it is necessary for relevant insiders to speak. ”
This matter is indeed difficult, Li Tianzhao speculated that the insider was the village captain, and the village captain himself was the one who had benefited.
When Li Tianzhao was not even a soldier in Tiancang Mountain, where did he get the battle seal, and where could he ask for a sword as proof?
The words of the chief of the palace of reward and punishment are tantamount to telling him that if there is no witness, there is no evidence for this matter, and it is impossible to rely on one-sided words to decide.
Li Tianzhao decided to go back.
Even though the chances of the village captain opening his mouth were slim, he had to try.
Leaving the palace of King Hou and going out of the inner city gate, Shan Qianqi saw his father come out, and his anxiety was finally calmed.
"Heaven-level hundred generals? That's also very good! It's really good! Where was Li Tianzhao transferred? Is the place good? Is there a big city with a thousand mountains?" Shan Qianqi was very happy, and originally wanted to use the excuse to resolve the situation of the Cold War, so he turned his head and asked Li Tianzhao.
King Xuantian Wu praised Li Tianzhao's loyalty and bravery, bestowed the honor on his two wives, and personally predicted that he would marry Feng Yin of Harvest City. The mayor of Qianshan City directly poured a bucket of cold water first, and he said it, saving Shan Qianqi and Li Tianzhao from having a seizure, and it would be better to know it and accept it sooner.
"......" Shan Qianqi was really stunned, he never dreamed that it would be like this.
Only the most faithful and courageous can receive this gift.
Li Tianzhao actually got this kind of recognition from King Wu?
Shan Qianqi looked at him a little confused, feeling that she seemed to be underestimating him too much.
This is not good news for her. However, there is good news.
Martial King's gift, what can she say? Speaking of which, it is all the glory of Li Tianzhao's face with gold, and of course she also has a light on her face.
The problem is, she has to take the green light above her head for granted!
"Receiving such a gift from King Wu, that is a special honor of loyalty and bravery, I am really proud of you!" Shan Qianqi felt that her mood was so complicated, she was obviously unhappy, she should be happy, and she must be happy.
Li Tianzhao sighed secretly, in fact, his feeling was the opposite, it was obviously something that he should be happy about, but he was not really happy. Always thinking about it, King Xuantian Wu not only punished him for his merits, but also praised him for his loyalty and courage to his two wives. But if you want to be rewarded, why is it not exempt from the punishment of merit?
He doesn't want to have another wife, he wants more merit!
If Shan Qianqi knew that Li Tianzhao thought so, he would definitely be even more confused. But at this moment, she pondered another very important question, so she looked at the city chief and asked, "Father, then I'm big, right?"
“...... The person who is married by the Martial King himself, do you still dare to want to override it?" The mayor of Qianshan City really can't help it, it's such a time, she only pays attention to this kind of problem?" "Didn't you hear clearly, that woman is Feng Yin of Harvest City!"
"Fengyin of Harvest City?" Shan Qianqi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted, his eyes widened in surprise, staring at Li Tianzhao, and he shouted in disbelief: "How can it be Fengyin of Harvest City!"
