Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 163: The general takes office with demeanor!
"Supervisory Officer"

Hearing this naturally familiar middle-aged official's self-introduction.

Qi Hu was suddenly shocked.

Even though he had just arrived in the Miluo Fairy City, he already knew the name of the "Inspection Office".

The Supervisory Department, judging from the name alone, means surveillance and inspection.

He didn't know what the Supervisory Office in Heaven did and what its powers were.

But in Miluo Immortal City, when dealing with extraterritorial demons, the Supervisory Department integrates various powers, such as monitoring extraterritorial demons, divination, and intelligence coordination, and then organizes and integrates them. According to the importance of the intelligence, various tasks are formulated, and then issued to all immortals, Buddhist disciples, human monks, demons, and other races, sects, and sects in Miluo Immortal City who are recruited.
In short, the Supervisory Office is the most powerful and extensive behemoth in the Miluo Fairy City.

I heard this person claiming to be the Supervisory Department Manager.

Qi Hu was naturally surprised, and he also realized that the other party had deliberately replaced the official from the "Dou Department", one of the eight departments of the Heavenly Court, to read the reward edict for him.

This person was obviously coming for him, and the other party should be a disciple of Zhang Tianshi, or at least working for him.

As for the size of his position as the Supervisory Department Director, he was a little unsure, but he estimated that it should not be too big.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to me so directly and blatantly.

After all, the higher the official position, the more one has to avoid suspicion.

Of course, this is also Qi Hu's own shallow understanding of his past life experience, and it is hard to say for sure.

But one thing is certain: it was Zhang Tianshi who did this to appoint him as the Lieutenant General of the Eastern Gate.

I just don’t know why the other party suddenly gave me such a big reward this time?
When he was in Chechi Kingdom, he wanted to obtain a heavenly mission but could not get it. Now he was directly appointed as a general. Why was that?
Is it because I have leapt from the early stage of Jindan to the late stage in the past thirty years?

Or was I in danger this time?
Or was it because he was saved by Sun Wukong and invited by Tang Sanzang to join Buddhism?

He couldn't figure out the reason why Zhang Tianshi gave him the reward this time, but he guessed that the latter two reasons were more likely.

After all, when he first came to see Zhang Tianshi a few days ago, the other party said that he would only be given the task after he became a human immortal.

But no matter what the reason was, Master Zhang gave him a very precious mission this time and gave him a real big surprise.

Press down your mood.

After hearing the middle-aged man's introduction, Qi Hu was immediately surprised and looked at Zhou Yongliang and said, "Brother, you are actually the manager of the Supervision Department. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Hey, bro, not bad either."

Hearing Qi Hu's words, Zhou Yongliang immediately smiled triumphantly, stroked his long beard and said, "My brother's authority as the gate supervisor is not small. If my brother asks me for help in the future, I will have to lend a hand."

“The Guardian of the Gates”

Qi Hu still didn't know what the "Jianmen Du" position was. As for the size and power of the position of "Eastern Jianmen Du Lieutenant General" he was given, he knew nothing about it.

But hearing what the other party said, it should not be a big deal, after all, Zhang Tianshi took action.

But not knowing those things did not prevent him from chatting and building a relationship with Manager Zhou.

After all, the other party is the one in charge of the Supervisory Department. Given the power and influence of the Supervisory Department, there is a chance that he might cause trouble to the other party in the future.

After hearing what the other party said, Qi Hu immediately smiled and said, "To be honest, Brother Zhou should know that I have only been in this fairy city for a short time, and I don't even know where the "Gate Supervisor" is. But if there is a time when I can really help you in the future, just tell me. I will help you without hesitation!"

"But Brother Zhou is the supervisor of the Supervisory Department. If I need help in the future, I will come to him."

Qi Hu hadn't finished speaking.

Zhou Yongliang immediately patted his chest and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother. Just like you said, as long as I can help, I will definitely help you!"

He was telling the truth. Although he didn't know why the Heavenly Master valued this kid who was only at the Golden Core Stage, the other party's position as the Lieutenant General of the Eastern Guard was indeed quite powerful, and he might come to him for help in the future.

And, it’s still small!
What’s more important is that this kid is obviously valued by the Heavenly Master. If you have a good relationship with him, maybe you will have more options in the future.

What is the most important thing when doing work in heaven?

It's not about cultivation! It's not about ability! The most important thing is relationships!

Yes, in heaven, having connections and a backing is the most important thing!

Just like this time, the Supervisory Department awarded a second-class B-rank job to a C-rank demon cultivator, resulting in serious losses of demon cultivators. The petty official who was in charge committed a serious mistake and was thrown into the Sky Prison, where torture and severe punishment await him.

But as the superior of that petty official, Zhou Yongliang should bear the joint responsibility for not governing his subordinates strictly. According to the law of nature, he will definitely end up dismissed from his post.

But he was promoted by Zhang Tianshi, and with just one word from the Tianshi, he was exempted from all other responsibilities and punishments. He was only fined one year's salary, a punishment that was so light and not painful.

This is the real power of having connections and a background.

This tiger demon boy named Qi Shanjun is valued by the Heavenly Master, so how can his future achievements be bad?

Seeing Zhou Yongliang say this, Qi Hu smiled and said, "Thank you in advance, brother."

Zhou Yongliang immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, you are too polite. We are just helping each other among colleagues."

"My brother and I hit it off right away, and I wanted to celebrate for him, but he was just conferred a title today, and as a new official, he will surely have a lot of things to do next."

"That's enough for today. In a few days, when you are free, I will set up a table for you and celebrate with you."

Qi Hu shook his head and said, "No, it's my younger brother who should host the banquet and thank Brother Zhou. How can I let my older brother work so hard?"

But he didn't finish his words.

Zhou Yongliang immediately interrupted Qi Hu and said without question: "Brother, there is no need to say anything more. It is settled. I will take care of it this time and introduce two friends to you."

I heard the other person say that.

Qi Hu naturally couldn't say anything else.

After chatting for a while and leaving each other's mind marks, they ended the conversation.

Watching Qi Shanjun and the celestial official come out.

The four demons in the yard all looked over immediately.

But before they could speak.

Zhou Yongliang walked into the yard and waved towards the sky above the Bingwu yard.

Soon, the golden-armored celestial general flew down again with two silver-armored celestial soldiers.

Zhou Yongliang stepped forward, looked at the golden-armored general and said, "I have finished talking to General Qi. You can take General Qi to take up his post now."

The golden-armored general bowed to Zhou Yongliang, then walked to Qi Hu, bowed and said, "General, are you going to leave now?"

Qi Hu thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment."

"Don't dare!"

The golden-armored celestial general saluted hastily.

Qi Hu saw it, and then walked to the four demons, looked at the rat demon old man with long beard and the monkey demon and said: "You have seen it too, I will not go to the two kings, please tell the two kings for me."

"Don't dare!"

"General, please do as you please!"

"General, please feel free to do so."

"I will tell the king the truth!"

The rat demon Changxu and the monkey demon spoke hurriedly, and their words were obviously respectful and cautious.

Seeing the two monsters in front of him like this, he certainly knew why the two monsters changed their attitudes. From the moment Zhou Yongliang read out the imperial edict, he was no longer on the same level as the monsters in front of him.
But he likes this feeling.

He didn't care about the two monsters, just smiled and nodded, without saying anything else, but looked at his former colleagues, the elephant monster Dali and the snake monster Honglin, and was about to speak.
"Pfft!"

The tall and strong man, the elephant demon Dali, suddenly knelt down, looked at Qi Hu excitedly and said, "General, please have mercy on me. I am willing to follow you until death. Please take me in!"

Seeing the elephant monster Dali's sudden excitement, the female snake monster Hong Lin beside him also hurriedly knelt down in front of Qi Hu, bowed her head and said respectfully: "General, please have mercy on me. I am willing to follow you and serve you until death. Please take me in!" Looking at the behavior of the two monsters.

Zhou Yongliang, who was not far away, looked calm as usual.

The three people on the side, two silver-armored heavenly soldiers and one gold-armored heavenly general, all had the same calm expression.

But the old rat demon with long beard and the monkey demon standing by immediately widened their eyes when they saw this scene.

They really didn't expect that these two monsters could create such a scene.

In fact, they had gone to so much trouble today just to come for Qi Shanjun, who was related to the Monkey King Sun Wukong. As for the other two monsters, they didn't care much about them.

But who could have thought that Qi Shanjun, a monster, would suddenly be rewarded and become a general in heaven!

Such a rare and miraculous thing, they would never dare to think about it even in their dreams.

Now Qi Shanjun has become a general in heaven and an entity that they dare not provoke.

They had previously thought that since there were two monsters left, they would each take one away so that they would have an explanation when they returned.

Now what these two have done is really beyond their expectations. Does this mean that they can't take anyone away?
Qi Hu naturally had no idea what other people around him were thinking.

Seeing his two former colleagues kneeling before him so swiftly, he was somewhat surprised, but not too surprised.

He was not surprised because he knew that his newly acquired position as the general of heaven would have a huge impact on all the monsters.

In the past, when they were in the human world and in the mountains, although they could not afford to offend him, a general from heaven, because of his status and position, they were far away and had no chance to deal with him.

But now, they have all come to the Miluo Fairy City. Under the various rules set by the Heavenly Court, his identity as a general of the Heavenly Court is too powerful for the monsters. Most monsters dare not offend him at all.

Not to mention the few Yuandan monsters in front of them, even if it was the Demon King of the Human Fairyland or the Demon Ancestor of the Divine Fairyland, it would be the same anyone who came.

Even the great sage-level monsters in the ordinary fairyland, if they don’t have some foundation in this Miluo Fairy City, would not dare to offend the ordinary powerful generals of the Heavenly Court.

Even if the latter's cultivation is far inferior to that of the former, the former dare not offend him, because behind the latter stands the Heaven, the system, and the rules!

Qi Hu was not surprised that they were afraid of him now.

What surprised him was that Dali and Honglin actually thought of following him and knelt down so readily, even at the risk of offending the two demon kings, Baiwei and Hualian.

If he doesn't agree, this scene of theirs will get to the ears of the other two demon kings, which will definitely make them uncomfortable.

But Dali and Honglin just knelt down like that.

this moment.

Looking at the two demons kneeling on the ground in surrender, Qi Hu fell silent for a moment.

He was a little moved.

With the experience of two lifetimes, he doesn't think that everything will go smoothly as soon as he takes office, without even a thought.

You have to know that within the system, there are all kinds of factions and small groups, all kinds of exclusion, discrimination and oppression. Think about how many years the system in the previous life had existed, and various classes began to emerge.

And how many years has the entire heaven been around?
It would not be an exaggeration for Qi Hu to respond with the worst possible assumption.

He was unfamiliar with the place, and it would be much easier for him to do things if he had two monsters who knew him well enough.

As for whether he would offend the two demon kings, White-tailed and Flower-faced, by accepting these two demons.

Qi Hu didn't care at all. To him now, it was just an ordinary matter. At least the Golden Light Ancestor behind the two demon kings had to be invited to come, to be qualified!
Thinking of this.

Qi Hu looked at the two demons in front of him and said, "You two were once colleagues of this general, and now you are so sincere in wanting to follow me, so I will give you this opportunity."

"But I'm busy right now, so you guys just stay here for now."

"I will come to you when I am done with my work"

Speaking of it.

Qi Hu turned his head and looked at the rat demon Changxu and the monkey demon beside him and said, "Tell the two kings on my behalf that I want them. If the two kings have any objections, let them come to me."

"Don't dare!"

"Don't dare!"

"I will definitely convey the general's message."

"I will definitely convey the general's message."

The two monsters saluted and spoke respectfully.

Qi Hu nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the golden-armored general and said, "Let's go now."

"Yes, General!"

The golden-armored celestial general immediately saluted.

immediately.

Qi Hu, along with the heavenly generals and soldiers behind him, and Zhou Yongliang, the manager of the Supervisory Office, flew out of Gengba Street, Courtyard No. Bing5.

Left the yard.

Zhou Yongliang immediately smiled and said, "Brother Qi is indeed extraordinary. I admire you."

He was telling the truth. When Qi Shanjun first took office, his mentality, concepts, and cognition changed rapidly. He adapted so quickly that even he was surprised.

This is what is called the demeanor of a great general!
Think about how he was appreciated by the Heavenly Master when he took office.
Hearing Zhou Yongliang say this.

Qi Hu knew what the other party meant, so he just smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, you are joking."

"No"

Zhou Yongliang shook his head: "Brother Zhou, I'm not joking, but I won't talk about it today. I'll talk about it in three days. The Supervisory Office is busy and I can't send you off."

"Brother Zhou is too polite, please be busy."

After some polite exchanges.

Zhou Yongliang flew away quickly.

The golden-armored celestial general will lead the way.

While Qi Hu was flying, his mind was already on the black and gold storage bag that he had put away earlier.

soon.

There was an extra jade slip in his hand.

Divine thoughts penetrated into it.

Qi Hu's expression changed slightly, because the jade slip in his hand recorded the laws and regulations of the various departments and armies in the Heavenly Court, as well as introductions to many other aspects, including the "Supervisor of the Gates".

After a long time.

Qi Hu withdrew his spiritual thoughts and put away the jade slip.

He now knew what "Gate Supervisor" was. It was a general term for someone who was responsible for guarding the gates of Miluo Fairy City, controlling entry and exit of the city, and also for patrolling, inspecting, and maintaining public security in the entire city.

The entire Miluo Fairy City has four gates, namely east, west, south and north.

Although the four gates seem to have equal status, the East Gate is actually the main gate, the largest and the highest in status.

The title he was given, "Lieutenant General of the Eastern Gate Supervisor", was exactly where the East Gate was located, and he was the deputy under the command of the entire "General of the Eastern Gate Supervisor".

There are now three deputy generals like him in the entire "Eastern Guard Gate Supervisor", and with him there are four in total.

Among those three lieutenant generals, two were at the human immortal level, and the remaining one was at the late golden elixir level, the same as him.
