Near Yubao Zhai, it is still an inconspicuous, but very clean alley. It belongs to Duan Hao's courtyard.

Mrs. Duan was fetching water and laundry, and a few children were frolicking next to her.

"Wang. At this moment, a dog bark sounded, followed by the figure of a big yellow dog flashed out. It was this big yellow dog that kept barking in the direction of the gate.

"The master of this place, Duan Haoke?" The next moment, a man's voice sounded, and then the man walked in, dressed in armor, it was Zhou Jian's guard.

"I don't know what this sergeant is looking for my master?" Mrs. Duan was shocked when she saw this, put down the clothes in her hand, and saluted.

"It's not that I'm looking for him, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who wants to look for him. The guard smiled and said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince?" Mrs. Duan was even more surprised, for Zhou Jian's identity, Mrs. Duan had already learned from Duan Hao's mouth, and Mrs. Duan was deeply impressed by this person who rescued their whole family.

"That is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned him, so he naturally wanted to go. Just when Mrs. Duan was surprised, Duan Hao's voice sounded, and then Duan Hao's figure walked out of the inner hall.

I saw that Duan Hao was in good spirits, which was very different from when Zhou Jian rescued him a few days ago. It's like a new look, a new life. Just as Duan Hao said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned him, so he naturally wanted to go. This is not afraid of Zhou Jian's power, but sincerely supports. Because Duan Hao knew very well that Zhou Jian's repeated actions in the past few days had changed his future. At least you don't have to wait for death, you have the heart to fight.

Although he was surprised by Zhou Jian's summons, he also happily went.

"Please. Although Duan Hao was a first-order mortal, because he was the person Zhou Jian was going to summon, Su Wei did not show the face of a monk, but stretched out his hand and invited.

"I'm tired. Duan Hao raised his fist and said. Immediately afterwards, Duan Hao gave Mrs. Duan a reassuring look and left with the guard.

Not long after, Duan Hao came to the outside of Zhou Jian's mansion and walked in. This front yard is a bit shabby compared to Zhou Jian, but for the people, it is also magnificent.

However, in the early years, Duan Hao was also the son of an official eunuch, and now he is not surprised by the wealth of the mansion. Instead, he followed the guards directly and came to the hall together.

The hall is basically a sample, with screens, the main seat, the secondary seat, and the incense burner wafting out, there is nothing to look at. After entering the hall, Duan Hao looked directly at the figure kneeling on the main seat. The crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the king of the sea dusk.

At this moment, Zhou Jian was dressed in formal clothes, his posture was upright, and his expression was even more solemn. Sitting upright like this, there is a breath of its own. Duan Hao didn't dare to look too directly, and hurriedly lowered his head.

At this moment, Zhou Jian was also looking at Duan Hao, and felt satisfied with Duan Hao's energetic appearance.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Duan Hao brought. At this time, Su Wei said to Zhou Jian.

"It's hard work, let's go back. Zhou Jian nodded at the guard.

"No. The guard agreed, turned and walked out.

"The little people pay homage to the king. After the guards left, Duan Hao saluted. Although when he was outside, Duan Hao called Zhou Jian His Royal Highness, but after seeing Zhou Jian, Duan Hao was more willing to call Zhou Jian the king.

"No courtesy. Zhou Jian raised his left hand and said. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jian said again: "This time, the widow sent someone to find you, but he wanted to appoint you as the county commander of Haidu, I don't know what you want?"

"This, Xiaomin has not cultivated, how can he take the position of the county commander?" Although Duan Hao knew that there must be something wrong with Zhou Jian sending someone to find him, Duan Hao also decided that once he had an order, he should go all out. But I didn't expect it to be such a big event, and after being taken aback, he said.

"Is it necessary to be an official to have cultivation? In the eyes of the widow, this is really ridiculous. The widow is not a cultivator, but a virtuous person. However, it is indeed a pity that you do not cultivate, if you are willing to help the widow manage the sea dusk for the county order of Haidu, the widow will give you the innate pill to help you practice qi. Zhou Jian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said.

Zhou Jian has always felt ridiculous about the Great Zhou Dynasty's use of cultivation as a high and low election official, but now that he has the ability to gain a foothold in Haidu, he will naturally not be stupid enough to use cultivation as a high and low election official. On the contrary, he valued virtue more. And it just so happened that Duan Hao was a virtuous person.

Zhou Jian's words subverted the Great Zhou, no, the official selection standards of the entire popular continent. Selecting officials by virtue is simply, unheard of.

But when Duan Hao heard it, he felt comfortable listening to it. Virtuous, virtuous. How can anyone in this world respect virtue, only know how to cultivate, fight, snatch magic weapons, and treasure heaven and earth. Everywhere is full of people who only ask for immortals, regardless of ethics and morality.

It's because he will come out of Weixiang, Xu He is such a dog official. But even so, no one thought of using the so-called virtuous to elect officials, because the monk is God, and the person who is high up and virtuous but has no cultivation can only stand on the ground and look up at the monk.

In an instant, Duan Hao felt a warm current rising from his heart and rushing straight to his head. A mood of forgetting life and death appeared. Because of Zhou Jian's sentence of virtuous election of officials, it went deep into his heart. plus what Zhou Jian did in the city of sea dusk. Since it was this king of the sea dusk who gave an order, how could he dare not obey?

"It is a blessing for the king to be valued. After the psychological change, Duan Hao was no longer stunned, surprised, took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, he lifted his shirt, landed on his knees, and bowed.

"Good. Seeing that Duan Hao no longer shirked, he agreed instead. Zhou Jian shouted, and then Zhou Jian stepped down from the throne, personally helped Duan Hao, and said: "Although the widow killed Wei Xiang, Xu He and others have unparalleled prestige among the officials of Haidun City. However, the widow is a newcomer after all, and there is no one to trust. Now that your cultivation is inferior, but you have entered the official office as a county order, I am afraid that your prestige is insufficient. But don't look ahead or behind, if there is a big event, although decided, there is no one to take care of it. ”

"The king can rest assured, the minister will not disappoint the king. When Duan Hao heard this, he immediately knew Zhou Jian's determination to control Haidu, and he said loudly.

"Good. Zhou Jian applauded again, with a look of joy on his face. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jian patted the Qiankun bag, took out an innate pill from the bag, handed it to Duan Hao and said, "This is the innate pill, which can allow you to enter the qi training period immediately." ”

"Thank you, King. "Unlike the Nine Jian Generals, Duan Hao has poor qualifications and doesn't have much feeling for cultivation, but he is also grateful for Zhou Jian's reward, and while accepting the Innate Pill, he thanked him.

Now that Haiyang lacks a county order, Zhou Jian lacks the minions to go deep into the official, so he can't wait to let Duan Hao take office immediately. But before that, you need to find someone to pass on the gong to Duan Hao. So Zhou Jian said: "Go, the widow will find someone to pass on the merit for you." ”

"No. Duan Hao promised.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jian and Duan Hao went out of the hall one after the other, and near the front yard, Zhou Jian found a team of patrolling guards again, and ordered one of them to take Duan Hao down to pass on the exercises.

After arranging this mundane thing, Zhou Jian reached out and took out the cyan jade slip, his face showed a gentle color, and turned around and walked towards the backyard bedroom.
