Chapter 168: The Naval Battalion
"What are you talking about? After the new commander knocked Ding Shoubei's son unconscious, he was directly tied up to the county office, and he was charged with rebellion?!"
Jiangcheng, the camp of the navy, the camp located on the edge of the Luojiang River is brightly lit, in the main camp, the main leaders of the Jiangcheng navy are sitting with lamps, and under the uncertain lights, their expressions are not very good.
Of course it won't be good, the Jiangcheng Navy is their territory, especially the current deputy commander of the Navy Army, Wang Cheng, who is sitting in the position of the leader, originally thought that after Gao Gong's death, he would naturally become the commander of the Jiangcheng Navy Army, but he didn't expect that Li Yuan, who was far away in Zhonghe County, would parachute a commander over, completely breaking their wishful thinking.
"Zhou Bao, is the guy who rivaled Pei Luo and the two elders in Zhonghe County, and sold his favor to the Tianlong Dao King Snake?!"
Wang Cheng is a strong man in his forties, his own cultivation is not high, only three grades, but he is a grassroots officer who has risen from the bottom of the Jiangcheng Naval Army, and he has quite prestige in the Jiangcheng Naval Army, and there are four people gathered with him, and the nearest one sitting next to him is a young man in his thirties, although he is wearing a military uniform, but he has a weak face, his name is Jiang Xiao, he is a captain of the Jiangcheng Naval Army, and among the remaining three, two of them are also captains, and the other one is a quartermaster.
Although Jiangcheng is located in a fortress, it is a small place, but it is just a county seat, and the county order is just a seven-grade official, and the garrison is from the seven-grade, like a little leopard, the commander of the water army, it sounds like a commander, and the majesty is tight, but it is only an eight-rank petty official.
There are not many people in this naval battalion, and those who carry flags, burn fires, raise horses, and hula are all counted, and it is almost the same if there are 500 people, and those who can really pull it out are actually more than 300 people, and these 300 people are divided into three brigades, which are led by the three captains in the current battalion.
"It doesn't matter what way he came from, this is Jiangcheng, not Zhonghe County, when he arrives here, even if it is a dragon, he will become a worm!"
"Zhu Scar, don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Xiao listened, his expression changed, and he shouted in a low voice.
"What's the matter, little white face, before the person arrives, you are thinking about the new master!" the big man who was called Zhu Scar shouted in a strange voice.
"If you want to shut up, you will shut up, listen to what Jiang Xiao has to say!" Wang Cheng said, "Jiang Xiao, tell me, how should we deal with this matter?!"
Wang Cheng has a lot of trust in Jiang Xiao, although this Jiang Xiao was born in the army, but unlike them, his father is a showman, and he has also read and studied with his father since he was a child, but this Xiucai is easy to read and write, and the family is so poor that the family is so poor, Xiucai's father died in an accident, although he can read and read, but he does not have the ability to take the imperial examination, in order to eat with his mouth, so he joined the army.
Unexpectedly, after joining the army, he actually came to run, he was born smart, and his qualifications are good, although he learned the army's standard martial arts, but the progress is very fast, plus he is literate, he has read books, compared to those ordinary big-headed soldiers, he knows much more, sees far, has many ideas, and won the appreciation of his superiors, so in just a few years, he was promoted from a small soldier to a squad leader, and was cited by the former commander of the navy as a confidant, barely a think tank, and the soldiers he led, in each battle, although it cannot be said that he has made much merit, but the number of dead people is definitely the least, so he is also deeply loved by his subordinates, so his status has risen all the way, until now he has become one of the three captains of the Jiangcheng Water Army.
And he is also a person who can be a man, not only has a good relationship with his superiors and subordinates, but also has a good relationship with several captain-level characters, it can be said that he is exquisite, and the entire Jiangcheng Water Army, except for Zhu Scar, everyone else has a very harmonious relationship with him.
As for Zhu Scar, he is known as the most courageous person in the Jiangcheng Water Army, and his cultivation has also reached the third grade, and he is the purest Qiu Ba, surnamed Zhu, and because there is a red scar on his left cheek from the corner of his eye to his chin, therefore, since he was a small soldier, he was called Zhu Scar by others, and until now, his own name is not remembered by anyone.
"This Zhou Leopard's name, I think everyone has heard of it, in Zhonghe County, he has done a lot of things, even if it is put in today's martial arts, in the younger generation, I am afraid that only those young people who are really high-ranking and cultivate can fight with it!" Jiang Xiao said, his eyes showing emotion and envy.
"No matter how powerful it is, it's just a half-sized kid, no matter how strong the martial arts are, it's just a three-grade cultivation, in our place, we can't turn the sky upside down!" Zhu Scar listened to Jiang Xiao's words of praising the little leopard, and he was still unconvinced in his heart.
"Martial arts is only one aspect!" Jiang Xiao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Since the news came, I began to collect information about this Zhou Leopard, and he is in the prime of his life, so it is easy to collect, from the information I have obtained, this Zhou Leopard is very troublesome, and it is not something we can deal with, so I suggest that during this time, it is better for us to be honest!" Speaking of this, he glanced at Wang Cheng very helplessly, "Lord Commander, what do you see?!"
"You little white face, you know all day long that you have the prestige of others and destroy your own ambition, how can I not see how troublesome he is?!"
"Do you think he's easy to deal with?!" Jiang Xiao smiled, his fingers flicked lightly on the table, "I can tell you that this Zhou Leopard is the most difficult person I have ever met, if you don't believe it, you can try!"
"Just try, a little cub who doesn't know the height of the sky, what's the big deal!" said Zhu Scar with a smug face.
"Zhu Scar, shut up for me!" Wang Cheng snorted coldly and glared back at Zhu Scar, who was foaming at the mouth.
"Jiang Xiao, go on, tell us in detail how difficult he is to deal with!"
"Yes!" Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "First of all, his martial arts are strong, although it is rumored that he only has a third-grade cultivation, which is comparable to most of the people here, but don't forget, he is in the underground fire veins of Zhonghe County, but he has blocked several batches of masters who have cultivated above the fourth grade, this is not a rumor in the rivers and lakes, but has been completely confirmed, so it can be said that his combat power far exceeds that of the third grade, to say a shameful word, I believe that even if a few of you are together, I am afraid it will not be unpleasant in his hands!" ”
"You're talking nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Jiang Xiao sneered, "He is a disciple of Wumen, and he cultivates the advanced martial arts of Tianlong Dao, we are just ordinary soldiers, and we are practicing the army's standard martial arts, can this be compared? To make an inappropriate analogy, he is holding a long knife of stainless steel, and what we are holding is just a long knife made of wood chips, and the outside is just coated with a layer of silver paint, although the appearance is the same, but it is really fighting, and the pieces of wood in your hand can stand up to other people's steel?!"
Everyone was silent for a while, although what Jiang Xiao said was a bit exaggerated, but the fact was in front of them, these people were all practicing martial arts, where was the reason why they didn't know?
Cultivating the army's standard martial arts, but no matter how high the qualifications are, no matter how good the ability, at most it is only three products, and the reason is that the efficiency and effect of the army's standard martial arts refining the aura of heaven and earth are very poor, but after practicing for a lifetime, don't want to get ahead.
Seeing that everyone was silent and didn't speak, he listened to Jiang Xiao and said, " Martial arts, just one aspect, and then look at his background, he is a disciple of Wumen, and he is not an ordinary inner disciple, he is the descendant disciple of the current elder of Wumen, the core disciple of the inner door, the most promising person in the young generation of Wumen, and the first disciple who is most likely to become an elder of the Wumen family before the age of twenty in the past two hundred years, even if his cultivation has not yet reached the fourth grade, but in Zhonghe County, he has also made great contributions to the Wu family, and is the chief manager of the Wu clan in Zhonghe County, although this chief is only nominal, but who can ignore itJiangcheng also has a branch of the Wu family, you look at our county master, Ding Garrison, see the head of the Wu family, that master, which one is not polite? Zhou Bao, the chief manager of Zhonghe County, has a status far above the head of the Wu family in Jiangcheng, from this point of view, this new commander of the eight grades of the district, speaking of identity, is really a lot higher than the county order and garrison of our Jiangcheng. ”
Jiang Xiao analyzed leisurely and slowly, "This is only the second, third, he is rich, very rich, with him in Zhonghe County, the Wu family can continue to get huge benefits from the underground fire veins that the other three families can't get, and as the key person in all this, do you think the Wu family will treat him badly?" With the Wu family's financial and material resources, as long as he shares a little bit from the interests of this underground fire vein, in the eyes of others, it will be an amazing wealth, not to mention, he also got nineteen fire spirit stones from the king snake, this fire spirit stone, even if he takes out one and sells it, I'm afraid it will be worth more than all the net worth here combined, right?!"
The camp fell silent again.
Jiang Xiao is right, they have only heard of the spirit stone, for them, this is a legendary thing, even if they tie them up and sell them, I am afraid it is not worth the price of a stone.
"Young, strong in martial arts, we can't compare together, we are famous in the rivers and lakes, with a strong background, we can't compare together, sitting on thousands of family fortunes, natural and earthly treasures, we still can't compare together, we, why fight with him!?" Jiang Xiao said the most, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"So, there's really no way?!" Zhu Scar listened to Jiang Xiao's analysis, and finally began to feel weak.
"What does it mean that there is a way, and what does it mean that there is no way?!" Jiang Xiaodao glanced at Wang Cheng, "This matter may not be a good thing for us, or even, an opportunity!"
"What do you mean, take refuge in this kid?!" Wang Cheng is also a smart person, and after a little thought, he understood what Jiang Xiao meant.
"The commander of the Jiangcheng Navy may be a fat difference for you and me, but for a person like him, it is a joke!" This was a bit heavy, and everyone in the camp did not look very good, but they did not squeak, because they also knew that although this guy's words were ugly, what he said was the truth.
"He's so young, the commander of the Jiangcheng Navy is just a small stepping stone for him, maybe he doesn't look down on this son at all, but he can't disobey the orders of the Admiral, even if he comes, it is estimated that he will not have the heart to understand these bullshit things in Jiangcheng!"
"So what is he here for?!"
"Make meritorious contributions, seek capital!" Jiang Xiao said.
