The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 389 I Want a Promotion
Hu Jing’s martial arts skills were not low, but his sword techniques were very aggressive, and the Japanese ninjutsu was just the right way to defeat him.

In addition, judging from the two people they sent this time, their martial arts skills are quite good.

He couldn't beat it at all.

If he is found, the only outcome for him is to be arrested.

Hu Jing fell into deep thought, but...it was not completely hopeless.

Hu Jing glanced at Pan Yun. Apart from following Pan Yun, there was another way.

That is hiding.

The world is so big that if he really wants to hide, even people in the martial arts world will find it difficult to find him, let alone the Japanese.

Do they know the way?
Do they have connections?

Hu Jing sneered repeatedly, and when he came to his senses, he saw Pan Jun looking at him closely, with his eyes almost touching his face.

He was so scared that he leaned back and almost fell flat on his back, pressing on the wound. "What are you doing?"

Pan Yun: "You are very strange. What are you so proud of? Have you found a way to deal with the Japanese pirates without relying on me?"

Hu Jing snorted coldly: "I can just hide. I don't believe the pirates can find me."

Pan Yun looked at him with a look of disappointment, "You have no money, so you just find a remote mountain place to hide, eat vegetarian food every day, and hunt for prey in the mountains?"

"No wine, no friends, no one to even talk to, hiding in the mountains alone?"

Hu Jing was choked.

Pan Yun looked at him disappointedly, "They are just pirates. This is in the Ming Dynasty! You are so open and aboveboard on the land of the Ming Dynasty, but you were frightened by a group of pirates and had to hide away! Where can we put the face of the Ming Dynasty and the court?!"

Hu Jing didn't feel uncomfortable at first, but because of Pan Yun's behavior, he felt suffocated and humiliated, and a surge of anger arose.

Pan Yun slapped his arm and said angrily: "Just follow me, I'll see who dares to catch you, I'll keep one for each one who comes, and I'll keep a pair for each one who comes!"

Hu Jing regained his senses and frowned at her, "Although what you said makes sense, Sanzhu, are you so kind? You're not going to use me as a fishing rod to catch those pirates?"

Pan Yun: "What good will it do me if I catch those pirates?"

Hu Jing had pain in his waist, chest, arms, and head at the moment, so he couldn't think of anything.

He stared at Pan Jun, and after thinking for a moment, he still didn't agree, "I have to think about it."

Pan Yun: "Think about it. Anyway, you are injured and can't move for a short time. Tell me when you figure it out. If you can't figure it out and want to leave, I won't stop you."

Pan Yun patted his arm and said, "You know, I always respect people."

Hu Jing: ...

Pan Yun turned around, opened the curtain and went out. After jumping out of the car, he said to Tao Yanbai, "You go up and take care of him. I'll go for a walk."

Tao Yanbai: "Master Junior, you go ahead. I'm not tired and I can still walk."

Pan Jun patted his head and said, "Don't think too much. I'm not asking you to rest. I'm asking you to take care of the patient. I don't want to see his face for the time being."

Hu Jing in the car shouted, "Master Sanzhu, I heard it."

Pan Yun: "I didn't mean to hide it from you."

She raised her chin towards Tao Yanbai and said, "Go up!"

Tao Yanbai climbed up obediently.

Tao Yanbai and Hu Jing had nothing to talk about, so they just looked at his wound and fed him a sip of water from time to time.

The two people inside and outside the car started thinking about it.

Hu Jing pressed his purse, thinking about the fake picture that Pan Jun had just stuffed in there.

If this fake picture came out of his hands, could he really get away with it and put the blame on Zhu Zixun?

Pan Jun also pressed the real map in his chest and wondered, is it true that Hu Jing only has this one map?

With his IQ, he shouldn't be able to remember the coordinates and route on the treasure map using his brain, right?
Originally, I wanted to wait until Chen Wen conquered the people and then immediately go to get the treasure, but if the Japanese pirates don’t have a treasure map and don’t even know the coordinates of the island, then it won’t matter if it’s earlier or later.

They could even split their troops into two groups, one to defend at sea and the other to get treasure from the island...

Alas, the deal had already been negotiated. As a Taoist priest with conscience and morals, Pan Yun could not go back on his oath.

Otherwise, once her magic weapon is ready, she can fly over with her friends and take all the treasures.

However, this island seems to be quite far away, and she wonders if she can fly over there with her current level of cultivation.

Both of them were thinking, and Wang Cong was also thinking.

He was the only person who heard the entire conversation in the carriage. Like Pan Yun, he also felt that it would be best to keep Hu Jing under his own control.

Once the treasure is taken, Hu Jing will no longer be in danger and will no longer pose a threat to their taking of the treasure, and they can then go their separate ways.

Wang Cong made up his mind and planned to persuade Hu Jing to stay. They walked slowly towards Jinan, completely unaware that Liu Jing and others had already arrived in Jinan from Licheng and were searching for Hu Jing everywhere in Jinan.

Jinan Prefecture was under martial law, and all inns and some privately rented guesthouses were searched, and the government offices were also questioned, but there was no trace of Hu Jing.

"Strange, Hu Jing left Licheng early yesterday morning, so he should have arrived in Jinan Prefecture yesterday afternoon."

Wang Shan was displeased. "How can we not find such a big man who didn't deliberately hide his tracks? Go find him again! And the wanted criminal, have you found him?"

Liu Jing said immediately, "We found him. His name is Tang Peng. He has been hiding in the south of the city for a year, pretending to be a porter to receive goods at the dock. Occasionally, he helped the butchers in the city to slaughter pigs and sheep. Because his hair was messy and his face was covered with a beard, no one found him."

He knew that Wang Shan would definitely not remember the name of the wanted criminal. Although he would mention the other party's name every time he reported, Wang Shan still couldn't remember it.

Wang Shan said: "Keep an eye on him. If Hu Jing wants to catch him, he will definitely find him. When he shows up, arrest him immediately!"

The captain next to him immediately rushed to say, "Sir, I will personally lead people to keep an eye on him, and we will definitely be able to catch Hu Jing back."

Liu Jing disagreed and whispered, "Sir, Hu Jing is a professional bounty hunter. He is no worse than the officials in the Ministry of Justice in investigating cases, and his tracking skills are comparable to ours. If our people keep watching nearby, he will definitely find us."

"Given Hu Jing's cautiousness, I'm afraid he will disappear before we find him."

Wang Shan frowned.

The captain next to him said, "Liu Jing, stop exaggerating. He is just a gangster. We are all experienced Jinyiwei. How can he find us?"

Liu Jing bowed his head and said, "Sir, Hu Jing should not be in Jinan Prefecture now. It rained heavily yesterday, and the section outside Licheng was particularly severe. I heard there was also a small section of mountain torrents. He might have tripped somewhere."

"But Licheng is not far from Jinan Prefecture. The news of Jiang Shuxiao's arrest will soon reach Jinan Prefecture. So Hu Jing must be afraid that if he delays for too long, Tang Peng will get the news. He will definitely take action tomorrow at the latest."

Liu Jing suggested: "Why don't we select two people to pretend to be gangsters and go catch Tang Peng tomorrow? We just chase him and don't arrest him. Hu Jing will definitely show up to intercept him."

"Hu Jing may be afraid of the Jinyiwei, but he is not afraid of the gangsters who are trying to steal his orders."

"And with two people stimulating him, he will definitely be more anxious and will ignore his surroundings, making it easier for us to call for backup."

Bai Hu: "You just took a third-rate martial arts expert, do you still need to call for backup?"

Wang Shan raised his eyes, "Can you beat Hu Jing?"

The captain was choked and dared not answer, for fear that Wang Shan would let him go alone.

Wang Shan is definitely capable of doing such a thing as watching the fun without minding the big deal.

Seeing that he remained silent, Wang Shan snorted coldly and ordered, "Listen to Liu Jing. Let Liu Jing handle this matter."

Liu Jing agreed immediately.

"Liu Jing, you have now been promoted to the general flag. As long as you can get the treasure map, we will report back to the capital before Wang Wen does. I will tell my uncle to promote you to the rank of centurion."

Liu Jing immediately knelt down and responded loudly with tears of gratitude.

Seeing this, Wang Shan burst into laughter and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Bai Hu couldn't help but bite his back teeth.

From the beginning of the year to now, in just less than three months, Liu Jing has been promoted from an ordinary Jinyiwei to the general flag.

Moreover, he has become Wang Shan's confidant. It seems that if he continues to stay with Wang Shan, he can really be promoted to a centurion when he returns. In the future, if Wang Shan is promoted, he will definitely be promoted as well.

The captain was so angry that he couldn't help but spit. He rushed to walk in front of Liu Jing, turned around and said coldly to his comrades: "Some people are just good at flattering. No wonder Captain Wang hated him so much in the first place and kept suppressing his promotion."

The Jinyiwei standing by broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't want to offend Liu Jing, nor did he dare to offend the captain, so he could only respond vaguely.

The captain was unwilling to let it go, and continued to whisper to Liu Jing in front of him, "Captain Wang disappeared without a trace, could it be that someone is taking revenge for personal gain?"

The Jinyiwei didn't dare to respond this time. He quickened his pace with a look of despair on his face, cursing in his heart, "If you want to fight, just go find Liu Jing directly. Why are you dragging him into this?"

Liu Jing, who was squeezed in the back, showed no change of expression, still had a faint smile on his face, but his nails under his sleeves couldn't help pinching his palms hard.

He hadn't thought about Wang Yong for a long time. Ever since he followed Wang Shan and left the capital, he no longer regretted his decision.

As long as Wang Yong doesn't disappear, he will always be his subordinate. No matter how many cases he investigates or how many achievements he makes, they are all to help Wang Yong.

If Wang Yong can be promoted, I'd take him with me.

It just so happens that Wang Yong and Wang Zhen have a close relationship. They are not related by blood, but just relatives. With the help of Wang Zhen's influence, he can almost reach the rank of a hundred households.

He only reached the rank of a centurion and did not allow those under him to be promoted, especially those as capable as Liu Jing.

Everyone else used their connections or spent money to leave, but he was the only one who was suppressed by Wang Yong and could not be promoted or transferred.

Wang Yong died. Although he was implicated and demoted to an ordinary Jinyiwei, he completed the journey he had taken in the previous three years in just three months.

As long as he makes another contribution this time, he can be promoted to a centurion after he returns.

Wang Shan is Wang Zhen's nephew. In the future, he will be a deputy commander, a deputy commander, or even a commander-in-chief...

As long as he stays by his side, as long as he remains useful, he will be able to keep going up, up, and up!

Liu Jing's lips curled up slightly, his eyes bright. Hu Jing, he has caught him!
He has also got the treasure map!
