Chapter Seventy-Seven: Support and Concealment
"Regarding Brother Duanmu's request to find support, I am actually preparing to contact the clan elders in the clan. In order to protect the people valued by the king and Dr. Fan, they will definitely do their best. ”
Turning to look at everyone, Peng Yan looked sincere and spoke.
"Peng Yi Zai Ken agreed to my request, and I will definitely ask the king and Doctor Fan for credit for you in the future." Duanmu Shuliang's old voice was a little excited.
Zhao Qing was not surprised that Peng Yan could quickly contact the clan elder of the Peng family. If Peng Yu didn't have such ability, there was no need for Duanmu Shuliang to rush to Peng's Mansion early in the morning to discuss related matters.
It's just that now it seems that the method of their communication should pay a considerable price. Otherwise, it would not have been officially agreed now, and Duanmu Shuliang solemnly thanked him.
After taking the porcelain bottle containing the elixir and the fire copper armor from the servant again, Peng Yan's face was calm, and he no longer looked reluctant to give up before, and handed over the porcelain bottle and armor to Zhao Qing and Zheng Dan respectively.
"Peng Yizai, I don't know what kind of strength are the sect elders that your Peng clan may come to help? What time will I arrive? ”
After the Fire Bronze Armor appeared, Duanmu Shuliang felt the temperature rise in the room, and then asked.
The strength of the reinforcements and the time of arrival determined what kind of plan he should arrange to deal with the secret guards of the Wu State.
"By tomorrow night, we should be able to get to Chungcheon-eup. I don't know their specific strength realm, but I know that they are old people of my grandfather and great-grandfather's generation, there are six of them, and each of them is far better than me. ”
"Previously, I intercepted your Duanmu family's caravan and forcibly bought a spiritual pill for my ancestors, in fact, it also means to promote filial piety, so as to gain the support of the sect elders, so that I have the opportunity to break through the realm and be promoted to a third-class sergeant."
"I see. I hope that the elders of Yi Zai are strong enough to deal with the Hongshang sword master of yesterday. Duanmu Shuliang stroked his white beard and nodded.
Is it really a show? No wonder the caravan was intercepted in public. Zhao Qing frowned, Peng Yan revealed such secret things related to his character in order to provide a handle and gain trust?
The main world has a vast territory and a large population, and the official hierarchy of the Yue Kingdom is divided into twelve levels from top to bottom.
Doctors are divided into three levels: upper doctors, middle doctors, and lower doctors. Among them, the doctor is the secretary, and the sixteen feudal lords are also equivalent to the lords of the doctor, which is different from the situation where the secretaries and feudal lords of some countries are higher than the doctors.
Among them, Sikong, Situ, Sima, Sikou, and Si Nong, these doctors, also known as the "Five Great Doctors", are the most powerful official positions in the Yue Kingdom.
Sergeants are divided into 1st class, 2nd class, 3rd class, and 4th class...... There are nine ranks: Corporal of the 7th Class, Corporal of the 8th Class, and Corporal of the 9th Class.
Peng Yan is the chief of another county, and the knight is a fourth-class sergeant, and after being promoted, he is a third-class sergeant, and he is no longer a third-class sergeant, which is a big jump in class.
Yue is a martial country, and many times, its official titles need to reach a certain level of cultivation before they can be awarded.
For example, the Grand Master above the sergeant usually needs to enter the Lower Six Qi Realm to be able to serve as one.
But it is not completely limited by the cultivation realm of officials, like Fan Li, one of the five great doctors, as far as Zhao Qing knows, cultivation should only be in the lower six qi realms. However, his status in the Yue Kingdom is second only to Gou Jian himself, and he is still above the Great Sima Zhuji Ying of the Upper Six Qi Realm.
The third-class sergeant is generally held by the top talents in Gangjin or Huajin. According to Peng Yan, he just wanted to use the power within the clan to recommend and promote himself in order to get the opportunity to be promoted.
"Actually, I have a question," Peng Yan rolled his eyes and asked: "After all, Wu Guo is the upper kingdom of our Yue Kingdom, and when the time comes, if you want to kill the secret guard of Wu State, this matter is indispensable for Miss Zheng's cooperation." ”
Everyone was sure that the enemy would not bring reinforcements like they did, because the secret guards of the Wu State did not want to have colleagues come to grab the merit. But if his life was really threatened, he couldn't be stupid enough not to run away and call for help.
It is better to be taken away by others than to have zero credit or even take your own life.
From this point of view, if you want to fight back, you must at least have a difference in strength several times. If you don't succeed in counter-killing, you'll face even greater danger.
"What do you mean? If your clan elder really comes, I will cooperate with each other. Zheng Dan knocked on the heavy fire bronze armor and replied loudly.
"Miss Zheng, what it means specifically is whether you can continue to use the kind of explosive method you used yesterday. If not, the clan elder should adopt a strict defense method, putting your safety first, and then consider whether you can successfully destroy the enemy. ”
Peng Yan paused, turned his head to look at Zhao Qing, and then asked, "Miss Zhao, I don't know what sect you are taught from?" Is it convenient to reveal? Our Peng family also has a certain understanding of the seven factions of Huiji, and we can cooperate here. ”
Does this mean that I am considered a disciple of the Seven Great Sects of Huiji Mountain? Zhao Qing pondered in his heart whether to reveal his mentorship.
Anyway, he hasn't promised to help Zheng Dan yet, how can this Peng Yan think that I will participate?
It is estimated that he himself wants to talk to the future "princess", so he thinks that other people think the same way.
Zhao Qing pinched her fingers, thinking that even if she contributed to Zheng Dan's fight against the enemy, it was for the sake of the friendship between the two, not because of her identity.
Suddenly, she heard an old voice as thin as a mosquito's chirp, but extremely clear, ringing in her ears. Zhao Qing recognized that this was Duanmu Shuliang's voice, obviously this was a method he used to "transmit sound into secrets".
I only heard Duanmu Shuliang say softly: "Peng Yan is quite famous and profitable, but he has given so many things at once, and he has also exposed his shortcomings, obviously he has a big plan. I suspect there might be something wrong with him, and you two are wary not to reveal your true circumstances to him. ”
"One more time, but only for half the duration of yesterday at most." Obviously, Zheng Dan also heard Duanmu Shuliang's voice and deliberately concealed his situation.
"The Hidden World Sect, it's inconvenient to reveal, just treat me as an ordinary person." Immediately after, Zhao Qing replied.
"Thank you both for the news. Brother Duanmu, I'm going to activate the contact circle and ask the clan elder for help. After listening to the answers of the two, Peng Yan's forehead jumped, grabbed a handful of linen robes on his body, and walked quickly to the back of the hall.
At this moment, a sturdy domestic servant hurriedly ran in and said in a low voice, "Lord Yi Zai, Lord Yuwei is asking for an audience outside, saying that he wants to ask you for an explanation. ”
The lieutenant is one of the officials in charge of the military in the county, and his rank is one level lower than that of the Yi Zai. The lieutenant of Chungquanyi was a fifth-class sergeant and should have been under the management of Peng Yu.
However, he also has clan forces similar to the Peng family behind him, and he is not a complete subordinate of Peng Yan.
The son of the captain was killed by the bandits you let go, and now the captain has come to the door. Zhao Qing smiled a little gloatingly, looked at Duanmu Shuliang who was also smiling on the side, and thought in his heart:
When you leave Pengfu later, you can ask about the bamboo slips in the caravan on the way, and it is best to find out the origin of the volume of "Lianshan Yi".
