Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 178 Immortal Qi
"Boss Ning, Brother Li, I can guarantee with my life that Xiao Hai would never do such a thing."

Tan Hu carried Tang Hai and said.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

How could he and Ning Zhongtian not know?

After hearing about this today, he realized that this was no longer something he and Tan Hu could handle.

Gao Zhen is a garrison commander with great power.

He and Tan Hu are subordinates. If he confronts Gao Zhen in person for Tang Hai, he will definitely give Gao Zhen an opportunity to talk back to his superior and make a big fuss about it.

Even if Ning Zhongtian will report them in the end, it is hard to say what will happen to Tang Hai.

So when he rushed over, he also asked Liang He to go and invite Ning Zhongtian as soon as possible.

The higher the official, the wrong everything he says.

Only by letting someone of the same level step forward can this matter be resolved.

If Ning Zhongtian hadn't been here today, it would have been difficult to resolve the matter so easily.

Ning Zhongtian's eyes were cold.

He and Li Rui looked at each other and could see what was in each other's eyes.

Is Gao Zhen really so arrogant and stupid?

possible.

But what happened today was most likely either intentional or instigated by someone behind the scenes.

In short.

He came here specifically for Ning Zhongtian.

"Party strife?"

Ning Zhongtian's heart sank.

Gao Zhen goes in and out of Cao Wei's mansion every day, and anyone can see that Gao Zhen is definitely a member of Cao Wei's faction.

Perhaps this was the method Cao Wei deliberately used to deal with Jiang Linxian.

Anyway, Gao Zhen will only serve as a garrison in Anning Guard for three years at most, and he will definitely be promoted and transferred to another place.

It doesn't matter if you offend people.

This is the most appropriate thing to do.

Moreover, based on his previous ridiculous and dissolute behavior, people would only think that he was new to the officialdom and didn't know how to do things. In the end, he would just blame himself for his bad luck and the matter would be left unresolved.

By then, he will have turned over a new leaf and, with the help of the Gao family, his career as an official will be smooth sailing.

If a gentleman does bad things, he will never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life, but if a prodigal son returns, people will feel that he knows his mistakes and can correct them, which is the greatest virtue.

Ning Zhongtian sighed softly: "Hu Zi, first find a way to ask a famous doctor to reconnect the broken arm, it should still be usable."

Tan Hu could tell that Ning Zhongtian was not going to pursue the matter.

Also.

Gao Zhen is the garrison commander, and who is Tang Hai? He is just an ordinary soldier.

Do you really have to offend a garrison just for a small soldier?

Not cost-effective.

This is just like if a playboy kicks an old man to death in the street, will the government offend a big family because of this?

Obviously not.

One reason.

Tan Hu looked at the severed arm in his hand, and then looked at Tang Hai who had fainted.

Even if he could connect, Tang Hai's martial arts would probably be cut off in the future.

At this time.

Li Rui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "Ningtou, this is what happened today, what are you going to do next?"

Ning Zhongtian understood the meaning behind Li Rui's words.

What Li Rui wanted to ask was not how Tang Hai should deal with it, but how to face Gao Zhen.

Suck it up?

"Brother Li, what do you think?"

With Gao Zhen's status, he cannot be overthrown, and it is useless for him to fight on.

At most, we would suffer 100 casualties and injure 80 enemies.

Li Rui's expression became serious:
"Give up your illusions and prepare to fight."

Ning Zhongtian's expression froze and he looked at Li Rui in surprise.

In the past, Li Rui always advocated using courtesy before force and appeasement first, but this time, it was Li Rui who changed his temper first.

"Brother Li, this..."

Li Rui's eyes were full of strength: "Master Ning, do you think that giving in will make Gao Zhen stop?"

"No!"

"It will only make things worse. Gao Zhen is not a fool. The more we let him do what he wants, the more flaws we will expose. It will be more likely that he will find something wrong with us, and it may even end up with you, Ningtou."

"Only by taking the initiative can we have a chance of winning."

As Ning Zhongtian listened, his expression gradually became solemn.

Li Rui's eyes became even sharper: "Boss Ning, this is a party dispute!"

党争
Ning Zhongtian was shocked.

In fact, he knew it very well, but he just couldn't make up his mind at the moment.

After all, once a decision is made, there is no turning back. Party struggles have always been a life-and-death struggle with no other outcome.

He instinctively didn't want to put himself in that situation.

But as Li Rui said, he actually had no choice.

Fist clasped, deep voice:
"Thank you, Brother Li, for your advice."

Li Rui: "Captain Ning just loves his soldiers so much that he is confused. He must have thought of it."

The first two sentences are of course compliments.

Ning Zhongtian could think of it, but by the time he made a decision, it was already too late!
That's why Li Rui showed such a strong performance today so that Ning Zhongtian could make adequate preparations as soon as possible.

The officialdom is like a battlefield.

Timing is important.

Once someone else takes the lead, it is too late to fight back.

Li Rui has seen too many examples in his past and present lives. When it comes to party struggles, one must be firm enough. It is impossible to please both sides or stay out of it.

"Be more careful next time, if you let someone escape again"

Gao Zhen glanced at Guan Zongqi behind him.

Guan Zongqi shuddered.

That look just now was really cold!

His heart tightened.

All along, the An Ning Guards thought that the new commander Gao Shoubei was just a playboy, but now it seems that all this may just be an appearance.

Which playboy could make a general like him, who was used to seeing life and death, feel as if he was falling into an icy cave at a glance?
"useless."

Gao Zhen kept shaking his head in his heart.

Of course, what happened today was done by his men. It was he who gave the orders to lead the people there, and it was he who ordered the weapons to be taken.

He is just turning the tables and refusing to admit his fault, and is deliberately framing others.

Originally, he had no intention of showing up and was just going to ask his men to kill the person and be done with it.

As a result, the soldier from the Benhu Cavalry escaped, and he had to step in to settle the matter.

He is cold-blooded, but not stupid.

The four battalions under his command are said to be his people, but they all have their own ulterior motives. If he does not show up this time, the remaining generals who are waiting and watching will be even less likely to contribute in the future.

“I really want to kill them all.”

Gao Zhen returned to his residence and rubbed his eyebrows.

He sat cross-legged on the couch. The next moment.

A wisp of green air came out of his mouth.

As thin as a hair and no longer than a finger, if you look closely, this wisp of green air seems to be out of tune with the surroundings, isolated from the world.

Immortals are immune to all evil and are detached from the world.

“Fairy air.”

This breath of air was exactly the immortal energy that he got from his cheap master, the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

It is not easy to find a disciple of the Ghost Sect who has a clean background and can climb to a high position.

Gao Zhen, a member of the Gao clan, is just the right person.

He voluntarily joined the Blood Shadow Patriarch.

In the Gao family, he was just a bastard from a branch family who was not valued.

In the eyes of others, the Gao family members are well-dressed and well-fed, and are the best of the best.

But in fact, that is the treatment only for the direct descendants, and their branches are almost no different from the poor families.

If you want it, you have to fight for it.

So Gao Zhen simply joined the Ghost Sect.

It was also thanks to the resources of the Ghostly Sect that he was able to pass the Dragon Gate in his early thirties.

Now, he has even gained a touch of immortal spirit.

The twelve disciples of the Blood Shadow Patriarch are called the Twelve Blood Disciples in a nice way, but in fact they are just captive thugs.

If you want to gain benefits from the Blood Shadow Ancestor, you must provide enough value.

For example, completing a task
He still wants more fairy energy.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of time. Everyone will die."

Li Zhai.

"Whoo~"

After completing the 72 major cycles, Li Rui let out a long breath.

He opened his eyes.

His brows furrowed slightly.

In the wise eyes, the smoke is deep red.

"Why do you have such a strong desire to kill?"

Looking back at recent events, the source of the increased risk factor is most likely Gao Zhen.

But why did Gao Zhen want to kill him?

Although party struggles are a life-and-death battle, this is just a metaphor and does not mean that a life-and-death battle will really take place.

Generally speaking, it is enough to make him lose his job or be demoted so that he can no longer play a role.

There's no need to really kill yourself.

Everyone has a few people they care about, and once someone is pushed to the limit, no one will have an easy life. So although the struggles in officialdom are cruel, they rarely threaten the life and death of the officials themselves.

After all, no one can guarantee that they will be able to prosper forever.

This is the truth: we should leave a way out for each other so that we can meet again in the future.

Is it that the garrison commander Gao doesn’t understand the rules of officialdom?

possible.

But Li Rui usually assumes the worst of people.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.

If you treat others as fools in everything, then you are the stupidest person.

Gao Zhen may have other intentions.

Just as Li Rui was thinking.

A green light suddenly flashed in the sleeves.

"Ok?"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

He took out the thing from his sleeve, which was the Immortal Seeking Stone that Yao Xue had given him before.

The Immortal-Seeking Stone has only one function: to seek immortals.

Li Rui's pupils shrank slightly.

"Xian"

Everything had been normal before when searching for the Immortal Stone, which was almost the same as an ordinary stone. But today, it suddenly changed.

Of course there is only one possibility.

Sensing the presence of immortals.

"It's in An Ning Wei!"

Ever since he got the Immortal Seeking Stone, Li Rui has been paying more attention every time he flips through a book.

Unexpectedly, he actually found the record about searching for the Immortal Stone in an ancient book.

"Looking for the Immortal Stone, it can sense the traces of immortals within a hundred feet, flashing green light."

Isn't it exactly the same as the current situation?

"who is it?"

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is An Ning Wei. His footprints are almost everywhere in the military camp. If it were a dead object, the Xunxian Stone should have reacted long ago.

So the fairy trace was brought into An Ning Wei by someone.

Thinking of this, Li Rui's heart began to beat rapidly.

He is no saint.

When faced with the fairy trail, it is impossible not to fight.

Why do the world's great masters search for the traces of immortals all over the world?
Isn’t it just ascending to eternal life?

To live as long as the sky, this is a temptation that even the Lord of Dragon Court cannot refuse.

The older you get, the more you cherish your life.

"The treasures in the world belong to those who are destined to obtain them. This thing is destined to belong to me, an old man!"

Read it.

He immediately put on his coat, then covered himself with a large light-proof jacket, then pushed the door open and walked out.

At night, there were no one else in the Anningwei military camp except the patrolling officers and soldiers.

Only some soldiers who went out to get drunk were still hanging around outside.

"Master Li, are you still going out so late?"

The one on duty today is the Geng Battalion, whose commander-in-chief is familiar with Li Rui.

Li Rui smiled and nodded: "I'm old and can't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

"Brother, you are in a very elegant mood."

The two chatted briefly.

The general flag of the Geng Camp led his troops away, and Li Rui continued to stroll in the military camp.

The scope is limited to a hundred feet around the house.

soon.

Li Rui stopped in front of a magnificent mansion with five entrances.

The light from the immortal stone in his sleeves was almost dazzling.

Look up.

Gaofu!
