Chapter 213 Gossip in the bamboo forest, carp spirit lair and job promotion!
Everyone in the Bilong clan worked hard to eradicate the Red Xia Gang, but the retaliation did not go smoothly. The Red Xia Gang had already made preparations to move before planning the assassination.

Shen Guanye knew this in advance.

In the past, the Red Xia Gang was able to cause trouble under the noses of the Bilong clan, but they were still alive and well, mainly because their strength was stronger than the trouble they caused.

At that time, the Red Hero Gang was only a disease of mustard moss at best.

For Bilong valve, spending great efforts to remove a little mustard disease is really not worth the gain.

Of course, everyone now knows that another important reason why the Red Hero Gang can "get away with it" is because its gang leader turned out to be the "Red Dragon" in the "Eight Dragons".

With such a heaven-defying inner presence, it would be difficult for the Red Man Gang to be defeated even if they wanted to.

But it’s different now. The mustard disease has become a serious problem. The Bilong Clan will retaliate at all costs. If the Red Hero Gang doesn’t evacuate, they will be punished!
Therefore, before taking action, the Red Man Gang was already ready to move.

Bilong Valve then pounced on nothing.

The Red Hero Gang not only evacuated all the members on the surface, but also all the personnel placed within the Bilong Clan and their families.

Marshal Hong was so angry that he wanted to expand the purge and bring all the relatives and friends of these people to trial - especially those who were close friends with "Red Dragon" Duan Muhong!

Duan Muhong has great popularity, so when he was stabbed in the back, those who were close to him would be in dire straits, and they would all be suspected by Marshal Hong.

Duan Muhong's betrayal obviously caused a great psychological shadow to Marshal Hong.

Except for a few people, he looked suspicious to everyone now.

Also!

Before this, Marshal Hong had never thought that Duan Muhong would betray him - even among the Eight Heavenly Dragons, Duan Muhong's trust level was at the top.

Marshal Hong had once become suspicious of several of the Tianlongs, and even conducted secret investigations, but he had never doubted Duan Muhong.

But now, even Duan Muhong has betrayed him, so what about those people whose trust in Marshal Hong is not as good as Duan Muhong's?
Could it be that they had already had second thoughts?

At this moment, Marshal Hong was like a frightened bird, and it was normal for him to have an excessive reaction.

Fortunately, his overreaction was persuaded by Sheriff Bai and other high-level officials.

The real misfortunes are those who fish in troubled waters. These people are all bewitched by greed and start to create chaos on a temporary basis. Naturally, they cannot be as fully prepared as the Chixia Gang. Under the dragnet of the Bilong Clan, they are quickly killed one by one. Corrected it out.

Even the master of Hongfeng Pavilion couldn't escape and was caught.

However, although the masters of Hongfeng Pavilion had fought against Wei Chengye at the beginning, they later joined forces with Wei Chengye to deal with Lu Zhongrui and others, so they were not considered enemies.

Secondly, the Bilong Clan is also afraid of the Fuso Kingdom behind it.

Therefore, in the end, Marshal Hong did not do anything to the other party.

In Shen Guanye's view, Marshal Hong's thunderous wrath was loud and heavy, with little rain. The final harvest was very little, and he failed to vent the evil fire in his heart at all.

Not only did it not vent out, but it accumulated a lot more.

This is not a good thing. The more evil fire accumulates, the more it will explode one day. The harder it is suppressed now, the more terrifying it will be when it explodes in the future.

But these are things to worry about later. For now, Shen Guanye only needs to focus on his own gains.

For Shen Guanye, the benefits of this sudden assassination were indeed considerable.

In addition to achieving the set goal and gaining two more level 10 heroes, he also had another very important gain.

That is merit money.

Afterwards, he received a large amount of merit money, filled the merit box to more than two-thirds, and obtained two more Liuding Liujia temples in one go.

At this current rate, there is no need to worry about obtaining merit and money. On the contrary, the progress of obtaining lairs is a bit slow.

So far, he hasn't even seen the shadow of the second level 5 lair!
But you can't blame him for being slow. In fact, Shen Guanye collected the nests very quickly.

In just over a year, 9 nests were collected, which is more than most Apocalypse Lords collect in a lifetime.

How else do you want him to go faster?
But when I think about it, the merit box will be filled up very quickly.

Obviously, if you take another step forward, you can see the sixth-level heroic spirit of the deity system!
In addition, you can also get an imperial seal quota, a total of five deity-type heroic spirit lairs from level 1 to level 5.

In addition, his strength will also be increased to level 6, and the strength of Shang Kui and other attendant gods will also increase invariably.

……

It can be said that the overall strength will undergo earth-shaking changes immediately, but why!
It happened to be stuck on a level 5 lair!

Shen Guanye felt uncomfortable when he thought of this!
But what can be done?Could it be that you hide your identity to rob an Apocalypse Lord who has a level 5 lair, and threaten him to transfer the lair to you, or else you will kill him?
With his current strength, he can definitely do it.

But how could he do such a thing?

……

Bai Mansion, Zui Qingfeng Bamboo Forest, Bai Huaian poured tea himself, Shen Guanye sat aside and waited quietly, looking like he wanted to do it by himself but didn't know what to do.

"Come."

Bai Huaian placed the teacup in front of Shen Guanye, and Shen Guanye quickly caught the teacup with both hands.

"Thank you, Uncle Bai."

Bai Huaian smiled.

"You are Welcome."

He looked at Shen Guanye and became more and more satisfied.

People who are familiar with him will know that his initial investment in Shen Guanye was just a casual move.

This is his way of being an official and a way of being a human being.

Apart from issues of principle, try to be kind to others and help others as much as possible. It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Therefore, he will invest and help anyone who has potential and is likely to be close to his own faction, and he will even help people who are unlikely to be close to his own faction.

The reason why he seemed to value Shen Guanye very much from the beginning was more of a show.

You have invested in people, why don't you act like "I value you"?
Of course, compared to other potential stocks, Shen Guanye's potential is indeed much higher. Lord Apocalypse alone can kill most people instantly.

But whether Lord Apocalypse can reach a high position in the end depends on his personal talents and circumstances. You may not know that there are many Lords of Apocalypse who are in trouble in life in the end.

Therefore, Bai Huaian did like Shen Guanye at first, but he didn't take him as seriously as he showed.

But as Shen Guanye showed his potential in everything and his stability beyond his age, Bai Huaian gradually valued Shen Guanye more and more until he discovered that Shen Guanye was employed in some top profession. Finally, I reached a new level completely.

Apocalypse Lord + top profession, it is destined that Shen Guanye's upper limit will be extremely high but his lower limit will never be low.

Combined with Shen Guanye's performance in fighting the assassination operation and his likability - he could be liked by Marshal Hong, Mrs. Zhao and Xie Wanqing. This is not something ordinary people can do.

Bai Huaian could no longer be satisfied with Shen Guanye.

"The commander-in-chief rewarded you with a carp spirit lair?"

Bai Huaian said after pouring tea for Shen Guanye.

Shen Guanye nodded in agreement.

Earlier, he took a lot of risks and rushed to the Marshal's Mansion to save people. Of course, Marshal Hong couldn't help but praise him - he helped Mrs. Zhao alleviate the crisis and saved Xie Wanqing. Even Mrs. Zhao gave him a commendation. , how could Marshal Hong not express anything?

Rewarding for merit and punishing for delinquency is one of the most important things in maintaining an organization.

Marshal Hong gave him a carp spirit lair.

The carp spirit is a level 4 heroic spirit of the mountain and sea system. It is good at water combat and can add buffs to people. The carp bubbles it releases have good defensive capabilities. In addition, it also has the ability to increase luck.

It can be regarded as a good auxiliary heroic spirit. It is also pleasing to the eye and is quite popular among wealthy families.

With Shen Guanye's current strength, a level 4 lair is nothing.

If it was a level 5 lair, it would just solve his urgent need, but level 4?
Now, he even has four level 5 lairs, and even more level 4 lairs, six in total. One more is not too much, one less is not a lot, it doesn't matter.

But for Marshal Hong, this is already an incredible honor. He rarely grants lairs above level 4.

And judging from the fact that Marshal Hong chose the lair of the carp spirit, he had chosen it specially before giving it away.

There are five types of level 4 heroic spirits of the mountain and sea system discovered so far, namely: cat spirit, apricot spirit, spider spirit, carp spirit and centipede spirit.

Among them, only the apricot fairy and the carp spirit have good meanings. The remaining cat spirits, spider spirits, and centipede spirits are not very good in terms of their meanings or appearance.

If you let people choose, many people may choose the latter three - when choosing a heroic spirit, whether it is strong or not is the most important thing. As for the meaning and appearance, they are all additional items.

But when used as gifts, the meaning is very important.

The nest that Marshal Hong sent this time was in sharp contrast to the one he sent the first time.The first time he gave me a rat demon lair!

This shows how much Shen Guanye's impression of Marshal Hong has changed.

The only pity is that the carp spirit lair is only level 4. If it were level 5, Shen Guanye's most difficult problem would be solved.

He is now just short of a level 5 lair. As long as he gets a level 5 lair, he will soon be promoted to level 6, and his combat power will skyrocket.

"You have made a great contribution this time."

Bai Huaian said while drinking tea.

There are only two key battlefields in this battle, one is Yuqiao Mountain, and the other is within the Four Ghost Forbidden Gate Formation.

Others, even the battlefield where Wei Chengye and the Hongfeng Pavilion masters as well as the "impermanent life-seeking" Lu Zhongrui, Qinglu Huo, Dog God, Dog Ghost and many other masters appeared one after another, are not critical.

The battle between Shen Guanye and the others will not affect the overall situation.

But even so, Shen Guanye's performance was outstanding, which is why Marshal Hong rewarded Shen Guanye with a lair of carp spirits after he passed the initial stage of incompetence, rage and anger.

"I came to you today to tell you some good news."

Bai Huaian continued.

He has been very busy these days. As Marshal Hong's trusted confidant and a well-known capable minister, he needs to personally handle and even preside over all large and small aftermath matters.

Under such circumstances, he was still busy looking for Shen Guanye. Naturally, it was impossible just to drink tea and say, "You have made a great contribution this time."

Shen Guanye pretended to be listening attentively, but at the same time there was a faint expectation in his heart.

"The preliminary results of your appointment have been made. As expected, you will go to the Donghai Office next. Congratulations in advance."

"Going to the Donghai Office? Thank you Uncle Bai."

Shen Guanye was pleasantly surprised and quickly expressed his gratitude to Bai Huaian.

That's right!

This time's reward, Carp Spirit Nest is just a bonus, the real big deal is the promotion in position.

Sheriff Bai had revealed this matter to him in advance when Marshal Hong gave him the carp spirit lair before, but the specific position to which he would be promoted has not yet been determined.

At that time, Sheriff Bai meant that he would definitely work hard and find a good position for Shen Guanye.

Now, the results are out, and they are better than Shen Guanye expected.

Bilong Valve Donghai City Office, referred to as "Donghai Office".

The name sounds unremarkable, but in fact, in terms of status, it is higher than most of the ministry-level agencies of the Bilong clan. Even the Ministry of Public Security has a slightly lower status than this "small" office. One chip.

Therefore, the leader of this office is also one of the Six Heavenly Dragons, the same Heavenly Dragon who was not present two months ago. This person ranks second among the Six Heavenly Dragons and is the only 13th-level master of the Bilong Clan. .

This shows the importance of Donghai Office!
Because the Donghai Office protects the interests of Bilong Valve in Donghai City.

As the largest city in Tianxia, ​​Donghai City can be said to have gathered most of Tianxia's wealth, and its prosperity even exceeds that of the capital Beichen City.

This is a huge gold-selling cave, and it is also a huge gold mine. Every day, people are grabbing huge amounts of wealth in this city.

Therefore, Donghai City has become a battleground for all forces. Not only the great powers have concessions in Donghai City, but also the major warlords have industries.

If there is industry and wealth, there must be force to protect the industry and wealth. The Donghai Office is such an organization, and its existence ensures the safety of the wealth earned by the Bilong Valve.

This unit, to be honest, is much better than his current unit.

The Zhenlong Provincial Public Security Department is just one of the three major public security departments in Bilong Valve. There is also a Public Security Department above it, and even the Public Security Department cannot compare with the Donghai Office.

This can be seen from the rankings between Wei Chengye and the second-day dragon.

In just over a year, Shen Guanye was promoted from the security section chief of Hongdong County to the captain of the Donghai Office. It is not an exaggeration to say that this promotion speed is a rocket, and it is simply the envy of others.

Even Shen Guanye himself found this speed a bit incredible. This was not only the result of his own efforts, but also the result of various encounters.

Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and crises also mean opportunities - provided that the crisis can be overcome.

"This is not my fault, Mrs. Zhao and Xie Wanqing have spoken for you. Of course, the most important reason is that the commander-in-chief has a very good impression of you."

Bai Huaian added, without concealing the contributions of the other people.

Shen Guanye suddenly understood.

He said that even with Governor Bai's operation, Marshal Hong would not be able to give him such a good position and such great power all at once, right?
Although his current position is not low in status, it is not related to high power. However, the position of squadron leader of the Donghai Office can barely be related to high power.

If he works a few more years, he might be able to move up to this position, but right now?
Obviously a bit too exaggerated.

It turned out that Mrs. Zhao and Xie Wanqing had good words for him.

As the head wife of Marshal Hong, Mrs. Zhao has always had a high say. Even if her words are nonsense, Marshal Hong must listen carefully and not take them as nonsense.

And Xie Wanqing?On the surface, Cuszi is just attached to Dashuai Hong. She has no status and no right to speak. But judging from the previous experiences, her words can obviously have an impact on Dashuai Hong.

No wonder then.

These are all people who can influence Marshal Hong's decision-making. If we work together, we will naturally have a good result.

Knowing that Bai Huaian was very busy, Shen Guanye didn't bother him much and quickly said goodbye.

……

Two months later, the storm that enveloped the three provinces of the Bilong Clan finally dissipated, and Marshal Hong's temper finally returned to normal, at least on the surface.

In the apartment, Shen Guanye packed his luggage.

Mother Inoue and her daughter left early in the morning, and around the time of the battle in Canglang City, Professor Lu and his wife also left.

Some time ago, even Angelina left for Donghai City. The residents on this floor got together briefly and then separated quickly, just like duckweeds, driven by water, they came together briefly, then quickly dispersed, and continued. Drifting forward.

The so-called "meeting by chance" is probably like this.

However, this is only on the surface. In fact, Shen Guanye's contact with Inoue Qingxi and Professor Lu has not been severed.

It's just that the person who maintains contact with the two of them is not "Shen Guanye".

The person who maintains contact with Inoue Qingxi is the "Ye Fury clone", but he has not taken the initiative to contact Inoue Qingxi in the past two months.

The person who maintains contact with Professor Lu is the identity of "Ghost Faced Yama".

During the previous retreat of the Red Hero Gang, Professor Lu actually approached him and asked if he would arrange for him to retreat together, and once again sincerely invited him to join the Red Hero Gang.

Because it can be expected that the Bilong clan will conduct a rigorous search next and clean up all the "ghosts, ghosts and snake gods" hidden in their territory.

Although the ghost-faced Yama has a mysterious identity, he seems to have a good background, and he does not look like a lone ranger with no foundation.

However, no one can say for sure about this kind of thing. Maybe I am unlucky enough to be found out?
That’s why Professor Lu asked this question.

Shen Guanye refused.

Although he refused, his close and friendly relationship with the Red Man Gang would not change.

Yu Qing, he and the Chixia Gang share weal and woe.

At the foot of Yuqiao Mountain, although Ghost Faced Yama only appeared suddenly and was quickly taken away by the Star Elf with Yuan Eun, his role could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

In terms of hatred, Hong Canghai's hatred for everyone is estimated to be Duanmuhong's first, Helian Yongchang's second, Professor Lu's third, and Ghost Faced Yama is estimated to be tied for fourth with the four ghost kings, and they are all key revenge targets. .

Ghost Faced Yama and the Red Hero Gang are already grasshoppers on the same rope, and it makes no difference whether they join or not.

Yu Li, although Professor Lu's "revenge for ten generations can still be repaid" that has been brewing for 20 years has been used up.

But as a Spring and Autumn Confucian scholar, his conventional combat power is still there. The combat power of a ninth-level Spring and Autumn Confucian scholar is stronger than that of most ordinary 9th-level Apocalypse.

If "the revenge of ten lives can still be repaid" brews for a few more years, it will be another trump card that can make the enemy restrained and fearful.

With such strength, if you add "resounding in the tragic wind", it will be another nearly 12th level combat power.

For the Red Xia Gang, who is about to suffer severe retaliation from the Bilong Clan, a powerful 11th-level Apocalypse is crucial.

What's more, whether it is Ghost Faced Yama or Professor Lu, their strength will increase. Once the strength of both sides increases and complement each other, Professor Lu will soon be able to truly possess the 12th level of combat power.

Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, the Red Hero Gang will not lose contact with Ghost Faced Yama.

……

At Donghai Railway Station, a group of soldiers with live ammunition were waiting in front of the platform. The soldiers were wearing typical Bilong valve uniforms, looking straight and standing straight.
