"What's going on here? How did it get like this?"

After the initial shock, Yang Ji quickly calmed down, looked at Wang Tai, and said with a calm face. The excitement is gone, and Yang Ji knows that what Wang Tai says next is likely to be very important to him.

"We were too optimistic. ”

Wang Tai smiled bitterly, it's all come to this point. In front of Yang Ji, he had no need to hide it:

"Your talent is indeed outstanding, how long has it been since the Xiucai-level martial arts were lifted, and you will be able to get the martial arts Jieyuan at the level of the people. In this case, it is rare to look at the whole world. It's just that your opponent is stronger!"

"A well-known genius of the lineage, a rising star in the military system, a hard-working young man among the nobles, and a young generation leader who is favored by the military, has a great reputation, and his status is far above the top three......"

"Yang Ji, do you think we can compare the three of them?"

......

Wang Tai looked at Yang Ji and smiled bitterly.

Yang Ji was silent. He thinks that his talent is good, and in a short period of time, from Wu Tongsheng to Wu Jieyuan, all this is enough to explain the problem.

Especially considering the special situation of the participation of many forces inside and outside the continent in this session, even compared with Wu Jieyuan from other continents and counties in the world, he is not inferior. But......

This is just that compared with people in the same generation, compared with these characters who have earned fame and proved themselves, they are obviously inferior.

Because the two are not on the same starting line at all.

"If everything is as the adults say, with the talent of these people, I am afraid that they would have been generals long ago. Or even higher titles. Why do you still need to compete with me for a place as the town guard of Cangxu City until now?"

Yang Ji asked.

"Yang Ji, things are not as simple as you think. You're still a pure candidate, and you haven't been involved in politics yet. When you really come into contact with those political and family games, you will know. A lot of things aren't that simple. It's not like you're going to get that kind of thing. ”

"The simplest truth, 'wait for the price and sell', you should know this, right?"

Wang Tai looked at Yang Jidao deeply.

Yang Ji's heart moved, and he immediately understood and nodded.

"If you don't do it, it's enough. Blockbuster. Among the families, nobles, and great families, there are too many cases of waiting for the right time to sing. Speaking of which, it's also a historical time, so I recommend you to the imperial court. Your article is slowly spreading in the capital, and it is very famous. My original intention was to make the imperial court pay attention to it, but let these families and everyone who are waiting for the opportunity to sell at a price see the opportunity. ”

"If this thing is done well, it will not only have the title of a powerful general, but also a great labor. Therefore, these families and big clans have sent outstanding children in the clan. will cause this situation. ”

Wang Tai looked at Yang Ji and said apologetically. This matter is actually very different from the situation agreed with Yang Ji when he left Pingchuan City.

In this direction, he owes Yang Ji a debt.

This time, he traveled thousands of miles and personally rushed here from the imperial capital, which is also the reason.

Yang Ji was silent, he was now beginning to understand a little bit of Wang Tai's situation in the Imperial Capital City.

“...... What happened later?" Yang Ji said.

"The first candidate set off for Cangxu City shortly after I agreed with you. But he stayed there for fifteen days. In the night, he was seriously injured by a sneak attack. Had to get out of there. ”

Wang Taidao.

"Seriously injured by a sneak attack?"

Yang Ji's eyes flashed and he looked up at Wang Tai. Some were surprised.

"Hmm. It was at night, when the city was in chaos, and I didn't know who did it. Even he didn't know about it. He is also a fool, and he can't continue to win or lose because of his situation. So he was quickly removed from his post by the imperial court and replaced with a second alternate ......"

Wang Tai said slowly.

"The situation in this Ruins City looks more serious than you think!"

In his mind, the Great Asura, who was also eavesdropping on Wang Tai's words, suddenly said.

"Hmm. ”

Yang Ji nodded. Wang Tai said it lightly. But to be famous among the big families and win the competition with him, Yang Ji will never doubt the strength of the other party.

In fact, the cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Martial Sect, or even higher. How could he be a fool who knows nothing?

The opponent's town was seriously injured by a sneak attack when he was defending Cangxu City, either the opponent had a large number of people, or the opponent's strength was very high, and it far surpassed him, reaching the level of hanging and beating him, or there was something else unspeakable.

Warriors are not ordinary people, and even in dark places, they have more or less the ability to "make a white room". It is impossible for the other party to be seriously injured, but not even know who the target of the sneak attack is.

This just shows one thing, Cangxu City is very chaotic, very chaotic, and very dangerous, much more chaotic and dangerous than I imagined. And Wang Tai's subsequent words also confirmed this.

After that, the situation became more and more serious, and the second town was seriously injured by the barbarians after staying for less than ten days. The third is only six days. The three newly appointed Cangxu towns of the imperial court did not even reach the normal term of office, and they returned with serious injuries one after another. This situation is unprecedented. ”

Everyone thought that this situation was ridiculous and humiliating. ”

"So, to the fourth. The imperial court sent the four competitors who were the strongest, the most talented, the most capable, and the least willing to go there. ”

"Of the four, relatively speaking, he was the least concerned. But what happened sparked his competitive spirit. He was dismissive of the first three contenders. It is believed that their lack of ability has led to this. That's why he's confident. ”

And the court also has high hopes for him, hoping that he can successfully solve this matter. Through Cangxu City, it will drive the development of the entire western border. But in the end, his result was the worst. ”

“...... Just a month ago, he died in the Ruins City. And it's dead. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Tai took a deep look at Yang Ji, and there was some worry in his eyes:

"Less than four months after the reappointment of the town guards, Cangxu City has fallen back into chaos. And it's even more chaotic and dangerous than before. So much has happened that I would have wanted to explain to you and consider asking you to dismiss it. But this time, before I could resign, the imperial court forcibly approved your appointment!"

"Cangxu City has killed a genius with extremely high talent, seriously injured three, and I heard that two of the dantians have been destroyed, and the foundation has been destroyed for eternity. Each of these people is a cultivator above the martial sect level, and they are all talents who are highly valued by the imperial court. With so much loss at one time, the court investigated it and blamed us for this matter. Coupled with the fact that those families, clans, and nobles who have damaged the children of the clan have made obstacles, the mainstream voices in the military department think that the 'initiator' is because of your article. ”

"That's why the imperial court forcibly approved your appointment without going through me. The current situation, unless you personally pacify Cangxu City, proves that the failure of these people is purely because of their own problems. Otherwise, your court will strictly investigate you in this matter. Dying in Cangru City like everyone else is the ending that those people in the military headquarters arranged for you!"

"And even if you are lucky enough to escape, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be reused by the imperial court in the future. ”

Wang Tai said this, worried. Needless to say, the situation is already very serious. Because of an article by Yang Ji, the foundation of three promising geniuses was destroyed, and a more powerful and promising genius leader died in Cangxu City, and the situation in Cangxu City was not only not better, but worse. Now it is impossible to maintain even the balance between the former people and barbarians. Investigating it, these are all counted on Yang Ji's head.

- Although, this matter actually has little to do with Yang Ji, it is these people who forcibly compete with Yang Ji for the position of guarding Cangxu Town. But when it comes to politics, no one cares about that!

"So now, unless I succeed in pacifying Cangxu City, I'm not wrong about anything. The court will also count this matter on my head?"

Yang Ji said in a deep voice.

The appointment of Cangxu City was a 180-degree turn from what he had imagined before. Yang Ji had to admit that this was something he hadn't expected before.

The current Cangxu City has turned into a huge whirlpool. And he had to jump inside.

"Hmm. ”

Knowing that Yang Ji was uncomfortable, Wang Tai could only smile bitterly and nodded:

"When I sent you the letter, I was going to come and explain it to you in detail two months later. And try to move as much as possible to resolve the hostility of those families and clans who have damaged their children. Try to get them not to blame you for it. Also, I wanted to give it a try and see if I could have some leeway. ”

Yang Ji was silent, just quietly listening to Wang Tai's narration.

“...... But things have taken a new turn. According to the original plan, two months later will be the time for you to take up your post. Therefore, before that, the imperial court arranged a large number of lieutenants and lieutenants to take over and manage various positions as a transition before you really went to work. At the same time, it is also to stabilize the people's minds. ”

"But not long ago, I got the news. All the new captains and captains sent by the imperial court to garrison Cangxu City were all killed. Ruined City is now in chaos, and there is no order and danger more than ever. The imperial court urgently needs a powerful person to stabilize people's hearts, otherwise, in the future, Cangcheng Ruins will not be as simple as chaos, but will completely become an empty city. ”

"Once this happens, it means that the northwest front, which has not changed in the imperial court for nearly a hundred years, has undergone tremendous changes. Those barbarians who attacked Cangxu City, after Cangxu City became an empty city, would rush to other cities like flowing water. So now, Yang Ji, do you understand why I hurriedly came to Taiyuan City to see you more than a month in advance, right?"
