Chapter 227 The position of the new commander!

Linjiang Division.

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan came to visit in person.

But this time, he was not wearing the uniform of a deputy commander, but a long gown, and carried no weapon.

"Fifth Master!"

Zhou Yuan walked into the hall and bowed deeply.

"What is the deputy commander doing?"

Lin Yan walked down, returned the greeting, frowned and asked, "Why do you perform such a great ceremony?"

"With your bag of Zeng Yuan Dan, I knocked out six leaders of the City Guard House and three incense burners of Liu Zun Temple."

Zhou Yuan said slowly: "I personally investigated those who abused their power for personal gain within the Tianjian Division, and executed four of them."

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "Next spring, the commander will step down. He plans to let me come forward and compete for the position of the highest commander, but I don't have enough merit..."

Lin Yan also understood what he meant.

In recent days, commanders usually do all the important events personally, hoping to take down a group of powerful enemies before they die and pave the way for those who come after them.

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan is the candidate for the next commander.

But his achievements were not enough, so after the death of the Liu family's ancestor, many things were handed over to Zhou Yuan by the Tianjian Division.

But the accumulated achievements are still not enough.

Until Lin Yan handed in this matter.

"The City Guard Office is in charge of all affairs of Gaoliu City."

"What the higher-ups fear the most is that the Heavenly Monitoring Department and the local City Guard Office are in collusion with each other."

"This time, knocking down the City Guard House and Liuzun Temple, a group of people who abused their power for personal gain, is not only a merit, but also allows the Tianjian Division headquarters in the city to see my attitude."

Zhou Yuan bowed again, his expression quite serious.

Lin Yan helped him up and said with a smile: "The deputy commander is very capable and popular. He is willing to investigate. There are naturally many cases involving the City Guard Mansion and Liuzun Temple."

“But not so fast!”

Zhou Yuan said, "If it weren't for your bag of Zeng Yuan Dan, it would take me a long time to solve this case! But for the merits of being promoted to commander, I have to compile them and send them to Qifeng Mansion today!"

He looked at Lin Yan and said in a deep voice: "You killed the ancestor of the Liu family, and your cultivation is far higher than mine! In fact, you can also compete for the position of commander..."

"You are too polite, Deputy Commander. Not long ago, I was just a small flag. I have been promoted one after another, and it is unbelievable!"

Lin Yan just said this, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about your shallow qualifications. Just look at the deputy commander. With your many years of accumulated merits, you are still a little lacking, let alone my little merits?"

He originally had no particular interest in the position of commander.

As the name suggests, the commander-in-chief must be stationed in the inner city, command from the center, plan the overall situation, and mobilize troops, which is even more challenging.

But for Lin Yan, the biggest disadvantage of being in a high position and having great power is that he has very few opportunities to personally kill the enemies, and they can be counted on one hand.

The current commander would not have personally fought the enemy so many times, if he had not realized that his time was up.

There is another point, which is also extremely important.

In the eyes of some bigwigs, Wuchang has become the new master of the blessed land and holds great power.

This blessed land is too close to Gaoliu City. If something unexpected happens in the future, it will be easy for someone to declare himself a king and refuse to be governed by Qifeng Prefecture!

In this case, how could it be possible that the position of the supreme commander of Gaoliu City Jiantian Division would be handed over to him?

"Anyway, you are qualified to compete for this position."

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan bowed and said, "I owe you a favor."

Lin Yan glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "It's interesting to say that, usually, if one person wants to make friends with another person, he or she should show favor to the other person and have a relationship with him or her before they can interact with each other! You, the deputy commander, owe me a favor first, so that I can get closer to you..."

"You little brat, some things are just for seeing, why do you speak them out loud?"

General Han couldn't help but stick his head out from the top of the wall and cursed, "You don't have any cunning at all."

Lin Yan laughed loudly and looked at Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan in front of him.

"The commander said that after he went there, he only had two candidates in mind."

"The first is you, Deputy Commander Zhou, and the second is General Han."

"Only the two of you can plan for the human race like he does."

"The top leaders of the Inner City Heaven Monitoring Department, in the hearts of others, more or less, will inevitably have selfish desires and are easily controlled by others."

"If he can trust you, I can trust you too."

Lin Yan said slowly: "I still remember the first time I rushed into the inner city, it was you who stood in front of me and took on the storm I caused! From that time on, I respected you in my heart!"

He looked towards the inner city and said, "I heard that the other two deputy commanders, as well as people in Qifeng City, all want to compete for this position! I don't know them, so if there is a choice, I can rest assured if you take this position..."

“I will definitely live up to your expectations!”

Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan bowed and saluted: "If one day I become corrupt and fail to uphold justice, like the current commander, your sword can also fall on my head."

"Of course!"

Lin Yan looked calm and nodded.

Zhou Yuan heard this and bowed and left.

Out of Linjiangsi.

The old officer beside the commander was also waiting outside. "How is it?" the old officer said with a smile.

"He agreed." Deputy Commander Zhou responded.

"As you expected, Wuchang is not a person who covets power. He would rather kill the enemy with his own hands than command in the inner city." The old chief did not seem surprised and said slowly, "If he allows you to take this position, he is willing to listen to the orders of you, the commander. Wait for the appointment, and you will be in the position!"

"What a pity." Deputy Commander Zhou sighed, "I would rather he take this position."

"He can't sit in this position." The old master shook his head and said, "Chi Qian can't raise a dragon. Sooner or later, he will leave Gaoliu City!"

"So, he can't help me for too long." Deputy Commander Zhou said this, and then said in a low voice: "If he himself is the commander, then with him, this generation of Gaoliu City can really be safe and peaceful!"

"Not to mention his lack of experience and merit, even if he had enough, the commander would not be willing to let him stay in Gaoliu City forever! The position of commander is powerful, but also has great responsibilities. For people like Wuchang, it has become a shackle..."

The old master stroked his beard and said, "If Wuchang's talent is only slightly inferior to Li Shenzong, then the commander will do his best to make him the successor! If his talent is equal to Li Shenzong, the commander will find a way to let him go to Qifeng Mansion! But his talent is higher than Li Shenzong... In the future, even the Holy Land will not be able to control him!"

As he spoke, the old master said with some regret: "It's a pity that the commander-in-chief can't see it. I can't see that day either. Maybe you have hope and can see the day when this kid overturns the universe and clears the sky."

"Understood. As long as he is still the same Wuchang as he is today and his heart remains unchanged, Zhou will definitely do his best to help him reach the top!"

Zhou Yuan said this and walked forward.

"Wait!" the old officer said, "The commander has something else to do. You have to stay in Linjiangfang."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but stop.

"Let you and Wuchang have more friendship." The old master said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhou Yuan looked surprised.

"Secretly transfer your troops and place them in Qingshanfang. You will understand when the time comes." said the old leader.

"Why?" Zhou Yuan asked in astonishment.

"I don't know either, but that's what the commander said!"

The old manager waved his hand and said, "I have entrusted the matter to you. I am leaving the city now. I have to send your batch of merit evaluation volumes to Qifeng Mansion."

-

In Linjiangsi.

General Han climbed over the wall and came in with a faint smile.

"Boy, that's quite a bit."

"Why do you say that?" Lin Yan couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think Zhou Yuan really came to thank you?" General Han snorted.

"Isn't it?" Lin Yan said with a smile.

"He is very likely to be the next supreme commander of Gaoliu City. He is here today to pay you a visit!"

General Han said, “How much use can that bag of Yuan Zeng Dan have? It was the commander’s idea. It was to make Zhou Yuan owe you a favor… If you owe me a favor, then we have a relationship!”

He looked outside and said, "The relationship between the commander and us is one thing! But the relationship between his next successor and us is another thing! The commander hopes that we can get closer to Zhou Yuan!"

"It's not that far away. We can be friends if we have the same aspirations."

Lin Yan said: "Deputy Commander Zhou is a good person! He also considered me many times when the incident happened in Dayinjiang. I have no objection to him being the commander."

Han Zongqi let out a sigh, "But now that the position has been determined, the commander's condition is probably about to reach the end! I don't know if Lord Lu can help him again?"

"Mr. Lu has done his best and has helped everyone he should. What you are saying is..."

Hearing this, Lin Yan's heart was shaken, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu wants to try to refine the spirit?"

Then Lin Yan was seen walking out hurriedly.

But then General Han spoke.

"Mr. Lu has already gone into seclusion. If we disturb him now, it will only ruin his cultivation."

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Lin Yan said in a low voice.

"If I had told you in advance, would Lord Lu still be able to retreat today?" General Han said, "You would definitely stop him!"

"We have already come up with a direction for opening up a 'new road'..." Lin Yan clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Why can't Mr. Lu wait?"

"Mr. Lu is old, and I don't know when the new road will be completed."

Han Zongqi Envoy shook his head and said: "More importantly, if he doesn't enter the spirit refining stage, there will be no one to take care of the fog ahead for you!"

"If he doesn't enter the Spirit Refining Realm, and relies on a group of Qi Refining Realms to explore the confusing new path ahead, how many years will it take for him to have a clue?"

"He entered the Spirit Refining Stage first, and looked back at the Qi Refining Stage with a higher perspective, so that he could see the drawbacks for you."

"He has to walk into a dead end first before he can tell you which road is a dead end and help you walk another road!"

"He has entered the realm of soul refining before he is qualified to obtain the secret method of 'landscape creation'!"

“Besides, he is not from a martial arts background, and the end of his cultivation is only at the Spirit Refining Realm.”

At this point, General Han said slowly: "Mr. Lu has already gone into seclusion, no need to say more, you go and guard him! There will be many people in Qifeng Mansion who don't want him to enter the Spirit Refining Realm!"

"..."

Lin Yan took a deep breath, knowing that this matter could not be changed.

He ordered the little white ape to assist Yang Zhubu and take good care of Linjiangsi.

Afterwards, he put on the Zhaoye sword, held a bow and arrow, and went to Mr. Lu's courtyard.
