Chapter Twenty-Eight: The City
It had just rained, and the rammed earth official road was a little muddy and difficult to walk.
Su Mo rode a horse and galloped across the road, occasionally encountering some puddles, the horse's hooves stepped into it, and the splash of water scattered with a 'poof'.
He hurried all day, during which he just found a resting gazebo and ate a few osmanthus cakes.
Finally, when the sun was waning, he rushed to the city where Danyang County was located.
According to the administrative division, Danyang County is at the prefecture level, and Danyang City is already a big city in the north.
Bigger than this city, there are only ones like the state-level Xingning City, and Beilu City, the royal capital of Northern Shu. However, there are only a handful of truly first-class megacities in the Northland.
Su Mo raised his eyes and looked, and at this time, the city gate tower was reflected in dark red by the setting sun.
There were not many pedestrians and caravans entering the city, and when it got dark, the gates of Danyang City would be closed, which was why he would hurry up.
Because of the rain, he was delayed for a day in the branch of Bluestone Town.
If you don't report to the headquarters earlier, I'm afraid that those gang leaders, deputy gang leaders and other gang leaders will be displeased.
Su Mo rode his horse to the city gate, and the border soldiers guarding the city still wanted to check it.
But one of the soldiers with a heroic face and wearing chain mail saw the clothes of the Dajiang Gang that Su Mo was wearing, how could he have the courage to check?
He exchanged glances with the other soldier and let him go.
Su Mo had already ridden into the city, and the valian-looking soldiers still stared at Su Mo's back a few times.
The soldier's heart is full of envy, as a pawn of the border army, he can't compare with the master who serves in the gang.
You must know that in this Danyang City, there are only three big gangs in total, and if you want to join the gang, you must at least have the strength of the forging realm.
The ordinary gangs in these gangs are the guests of some wealthy gentry and prominent families, and the gang leaders, Dharma protectors and others in the gang are qualified to drink and talk and laugh with the Qin prefect, who is known as the number one in Danyang County.
For this heroic soldier, don't look at Su Mo's black and thin, his appearance is not good. But compared to those ordinary merchants and low-level gentry, how can a small soldier be compared?
......
Su Mo continued to ride his horse.
The destination is the Dajiang Gang Headquarters Manor, located in the Suzaku District of Danyang City.
At this time, Su Mo had a promotion order in his arms, but when he thought of the content on it, he was still a little incredulous.
Because Ding Dahai, the gang leader of the headquarters, actually wrote him a promotion order that jumped two levels in a row.
Now Su Mo's identity is already the internal affairs envoy of the Dajiang Gang headquarters.
After taking office, he will lead fifteen ordinary gang squads, and will also be responsible for collecting protection fees for some regions and many other affairs.
According to the normal promotion process, the elite of a branch can become the foreign envoy of the branch after five years. After five years of hard work, the foreign affairs envoy of the branch can be promoted to the elite helper of the headquarters. As for becoming an elite gang member of the headquarters, he needs to stay up for another five years before he can sit in the position of the internal affairs envoy of the headquarters.
But Su Mo's promotion speed was a little exaggerated, he took a gang test, and directly became the elite gang of the branch.
Then he solved the bloody case in Peony Town, and directly became the internal affairs envoy of the headquarters, which almost saved others from fifteen years of qualifications.
If this matter is known to the people at the headquarters of the Great River Gang, there will be some gossip from some red-eyed guys.
However, what position you hold in the Dajiang Gang also depends on your own ability.
Like Su Mo himself, because he is in the realm of forging bones, he naturally doesn't need to boil for five years, and he can directly become an elite helper of the branch. And a bloody case similar to the one that happened in Peony Town is not something that anyone can solve.
In the Dajiang Gang, there are only a dozen or so masters of the Bone Forging Realm. As for the red charm that was destroyed by Su Mo, but he killed two masters of the bone forging realm, it can be said that ordinary bone forging masters are not the opponents of the red charm at all.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Su Mo, who has solved the bloody case, can be promoted to the internal affairs envoy of the headquarters.
He thought that there might be people who would not be convinced.
But that's fine, when the time comes, you can pick a few more masters with good strength to make a move.
Probably because his heart is affected by Yin Qi, Su Mo is very yearning for fighting now, especially the kind of chess opponent who fights heartily.
It's a pity that he only shot twice, the first time was to kill the old black wind, and the second time was to kill the red charm.
These two times are just crushing, and I really didn't get much fun from them, which is a pity.
Su Mo rode across the long street on horseback and soon arrived at a huge manor where the headquarters of the Great River Gang was located.
This manor is not much different from ordinary manors, except that it is larger and more magnificent.
When the gang in charge of guarding saw a young man dressed in gang costume riding a horse approaching, he directly greeted him.
"I wonder from which branch this brother came from?" asked a slightly chubby guard gang of men.
"I'm Su Mo from the Qingshi Town Branch, and I was called by the gang leader because of my promotion, I wonder if the gang leader is in the headquarters now?" Su Mo pulled the reins and said.
"It turned out to be Brother Su, you came by coincidence, the helper just didn't have any business to deal with today, and he was drinking tea with Xue Protector and Ping Protector in the council hall at this time. ”
Su Moxin said that drinking tea in the evening was a little strange.
"Brother, can you lead the way for me, I am new to the city, and I don't understand many rules. Su Mo turned over and came down and led the horse to the front.
"That's right, let's go. The slightly chubby gang pointed to the other gang in charge of guarding, and said, "Just hand him over your dark horse." ”
Su Mo handed over the reins, and then followed the slightly fat gang into the manor.
There is not much difference between this and the layout of the branch manor in Bluestone Town, it is almost a mold.
It's just that the houses, halls, courtyards, martial arts arenas and other buildings are much larger, after all, there are many people in this headquarters, and the scale of the manor must be expanded as much as possible.
Walking through the courtyard, the two of them entered the council hall.
Su Mo saw a fat guy in brocade clothes sitting on the main seat, and he felt a little strange in his heart.
He is not the same as before now, and he can see at a glance that this fat gang leader is actually a Xibei with a vain physique and sparse martial arts.
So how can this fat guy become the leader of the Dajiang Gang?
Seeing someone coming in, the helper Ding Dahai, the great protector Xue Shen, and the third protector Ping Jiayu put down their tea bowls and cast their eyes over.
"Hey, who is this little brother?"
"I've seen Gang Master Ding, I'm Su Mo. ”
"Ha, are you Su Mo?" Ding Dahai patted the armrest of the flower and wood circle chair with his right hand, and his face was full of smiles.
