Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 281 Promotion, General Li!

join the army!

Everyone in An Ning Wei was shocked.

Scholar Liu from the Hanlin Academy handed the silk to Li Rui with a smile: "Master Li, please stand up quickly."

Li Rui took the imperial edict.

Unlike the previous two volumes, this volume is made of five-color silk, namely red, yellow, blue, white and brown. It is embroidered with cloud patterns throughout, and the four words "Fengtian Gaoming" are written on the right.

This is a treatment only available to officials of the fifth rank and above.

Otherwise, why are officials considered to be above the fifth rank? This can be seen from the format of this imperial edict.

For those below the fifth rank, only pure white silk can be used, which is imperially authorized. For those above the fifth rank, only custom-made silk is used. There is a fundamental difference.

Since then.

Li Rui can be considered a real official.

"Master Li, congratulations."

Master Liu said this with a fist clasped.

For a bachelor like him, it is very necessary to make friends with a fifth-rank official.

Li Rui is an officer and cannot help me, but there is no guarantee that my children and grandchildren will be able to get what they want in the future.

This is the good thing about the Hanlin Academy.

Wide network of contacts.

Li Rui and Cao Wei stood up.

"Master Liu, the food is ready. Let's eat and talk."

The two men took Master Liu and walked towards the general's mansion.

The scholar who reads the imperial edict in the Hanlin Academy is also called the Fuguan. Is it not too much to ask Fuguan to have something to eat and watch a dance?
Mr. Liu was already accustomed to such scenes.

He happily followed Li Rui and the other man into the mansion.

As soon as he sat down, a pretty maid came forward to serve him wine, and the fragrance wafted in the air.

Scholar Liu squinted his eyes comfortably. Unlike a warrior, he was just an ordinary civil servant without any martial arts skills. He was over sixty years old now and didn't have many years left to live. Of course, he should enjoy life to the fullest.

Simply put, it's all about wine and sex.

"Master Li, I happened to meet Master Jiang when I was leaving the capital, and he asked me to bring a message of hello."

Mr. Liu talked about Jiang Linxian.

Of course, it’s to get close to me.

He had heard that in addition to being a soldier in Anning Guard, Li Rui was also an instructor in Annan Marquis's Mansion. In some ways, his status was even more noble than that of a soldier.

It’s definitely a good idea to get closer.

"Is Lord Jiang okay?"

Scholar Liu smiled even more: "Master Jiang has entered the realm of earthly immortals. I heard there is a rumor that he will become the deputy director of the Imperial Observatory. He has a bright future."

Speaking of Jiang Linxian, I feel a surge of emotion.

If Jiang Linxian was only famous in one place before, now she is famous throughout the Kingdom of Yu.

In the future, you may become a great figure like the Supervisor or the Imperial Master.

"It's better to practice martial arts."

It's a pity that he doesn't have the qualifications.

Supervisor!

Hearing these two words, Li Rui and Cao Wei both raised their eyebrows.

This position is amazing.

Except for Mr. Gu of Wenxian Tower, every director of the Imperial Observatory started out as deputy director. According to convention, there was a 90% chance that Jiang Linxian would become the next director.

And let’s not talk about the potential.

The deputy supervisor himself is a third-rank official, and is also in charge of the power to monitor the hidden sects and monsters in the world. He is much stronger than half of the vice ministers of the six ministries.

The key point is that the deputy supervisor, like the chief supervisor, can meet the emperor.

This is the most important thing.

Speaking of Jiang Linxian, everyone felt emotional.

After three rounds of drinking.

Mr. Liu was only an entry-level warrior and could not hold his liquor well, so he soon passed out.

At Li Rui's signal.

Three beauties invited from the Music Bureau supported Lord Liu to the side room of the general's mansion and helped him change clothes.

A man is a boy until he dies.

Cao Wei put his hands together:

"Jiang Linxian"

He and Jiang Linxian had been fighting openly and secretly for several years, and now looking back he realized how ridiculous he was.

In fact, anyone could crush him to death with just one finger.

He looked at Li Rui standing beside him again.

'It's better not to offend.'

He always felt that Li Rui was not as simple as he seemed.

When I first came to Qinghe, I was just an ordinary clerk.

How many years has it been?

They have already climbed to the same height as me, it would be strange if they could be simple.

Li Rui was a little drunk and clasped his fists towards Cao Wei: "Brother Cao, I'll take my leave first."

Cao Wei clasped his fists.

As soon as he walked out of the general's mansion, lines of small words appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the primary plot of becoming a general and a prime minister - promotion.]

[Promotion and honor, life is happy, congratulations on your promotion again, to the fifth rank, the fifth rank is the official start of the officialdom, you are about to come into contact with real power, please continue to work hard! ]

[Complete the mission and get promoted. Rewards are being calculated.]

[It is detected that the host has completed all the primary plots of becoming a general and a prime minister at the age of ten. The performance is excellent. The next reward will be enhanced. Please achieve the achievement as soon as possible to open the reward! ]

Looking at the small words on the panel.

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

It was really good things that came in pairs. He was promoted and completed all the primary tasks to become a general or a prime minister.

He was already looking forward to what the reward would be after doubling.

Master Liu stayed in Qinghe for three days. After eating, drinking and sleeping well, he returned to the capital happily.

Li Rui also gave a baby monster.

Just treat it as a local specialty?
In short, Mr. Liu left very satisfied.

"My goodness, the Military Office is too big."

Yang Yong, Wang Zhao, Liang He and Liu Tiezhu opened their eyes wide and almost drooled.

luxurious.

If Li Rui’s previous house was big, then the military mansion was both big and expensive.

There are pavilions, terraces and towers in one house.

Li Rui had been here several times before and was used to it.

But for Yang Yong and the other three, it was an eye-opener.

Whose house has a stream?

"Don't fight with me, I want the one with the booth!"

"I've heard the storyteller Lao Zhang bragging a long time ago, so I'm going to give it a try today."

Yang Yong returned to his youth and scrambled to live in the house with a pavilion.

The advantages of being older are evident.

The three young men were really afraid that if they exerted too much force, they would send Old Man Yang to death.

I had to choose another room with regret.

As for Li Rui.

Of course, it was the room where Jiang Linxian originally lived.

They even thoughtfully prepared a dark room. Perhaps Jiang Linxian did not hesitate to let Li Rui open the secret room that day because she had already thought of today's scene.

Li Rui's original house was not transferred to other people but remained vacant.

Who says there are too many secrets?

As the chief officer of An Ning Guard, no one would stop him from asking for a house.

"Old Li is getting better too." Li Rui grinned.

One day I can actually live in a military residence.

"Xiao Zhao, go to Lao Ma's house and buy some beef. We are going to eat shabu-shabu beef today!"

Half an hour later.

White smoke rose up from the military mansion, and the broth in the copper pot was bubbling.

A thin slice of freshly cut top layer is wrapped around the tip of the chopsticks.

three seconds.

Well, good beef only takes three seconds.

Li Rui dipped it in a special spicy sauce and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

That's how it feels.

When he was working as a groom in the Zhu family, he secretly vowed that if he ever made it big one day, he would go to the old Ma family to buy beef. The old people in Qinghe all knew that the meat from his family was good.

Shabu-shabu, yes, you must have shabu-shabu.

To Li Rui's already picky palate, the taste was just so-so.

It's probably the same as a monk who became an emperor but was still thinking about that bowl of leftover rice, cabbage and tofu soup.

Comfortable!

Qingzhou, ten thousand lakes.

Qingzhou is the largest state in Yu State, but it does not rank among the top in terms of population.

Just because Shiwanze is in Qingzhou.

The boundless swamp occupies 70% of Qingzhou's land. This is a world of poisonous insects, fugitives and monsters.

Deep in the Ten Thousand Lakes.

A dark cave.

The cave is extremely large, more than twenty feet high, and a magnificent palace stands in the middle of it.

"Immortal Venerable, do you want to invite anyone else?"

An old man stood respectfully beside Qu Chengfeng.

"no need."

Qu Chengfeng waved his hand lightly.

Jiang Linxian is now the deputy director of the Imperial Observatory. If the Ghost Cult dares to touch Jiang Linxian, it will probably get into huge trouble.

Besides, he no longer needs it.

"You are indeed a banished immortal."

Qu Chengfeng raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I want to see who you belong to, Shenxuan Palace? Or Baiyujing?"

The old man stood aside.

Not a word.

If he was seen by people in the martial arts world, they would be shocked, because this old man has a rather fierce nickname, Blood Shadow Ancestor.

Qu Chengfeng turned and looked at the Blood Shadow Ancestor:

"By the way, how are things going in the south?"

Ancestor Blood Shadow said calmly: "The old fellow Qi has agreed to take action, and the eight demon lords have also agreed to join forces."

Upon hearing this, Qu Chengfeng smiled.

"Yes, very well done."

Then he looked at the Blood Shadow Ancestor: "By the way, have you found what I'm looking for?"

"We already have clues, and there is news from the Wu Kingdom."

"very good."

Qu Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, it's time for me to go back."

Say it.

His figure gradually became illusory and finally disappeared.

Seeing this scene, shock flashed in the eyes of the Blood Shadow Ancestor.

"Is this the method of the immortal?"

When you are in charge of grain, you only need to look after the warehouse, but when you join the army, you need to consider more.

Just like.

Should I go to Magistrate Jia's house for a drink today, or go to Tiju Yan's house to recite poetry?

Difficult, difficult, difficult.

In addition to the things happening in Qinghe, Li Rui must also take external affairs into consideration.

For example, the situation of the sects in Yunzhou and even in a larger area.

of course.

Li Rui handled the situation with ease.

This is how older people are. After suffering so many losses, they won’t suffer them again.

Many experiences are universal.

As for practicing martial arts, one has to follow the routine. If one reaches Guanhai realm and still expects to break through one realm a year, then that is really looking down on all the heroes in the world. One has to eat one bite at a time and practice martial arts day by day, otherwise something bad will happen.

"Master Jia, there's no need to see me off."

"Oh, by the way, I happen to have a few maids from the Wu Kingdom here, I will send them to your house someday."

Li Rui laughed.

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Jia Qi was immediately delighted.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command, my old brother."

Unlike the previous magistrate Zhuang Renhe, Jia Qi was older, and his martial arts skills were very poor, so he had no intention of making progress.

As for why such a person could be sent to such an important place as Qinghe.

It comes from two points.

First, Qinghe is very important, so many people were targeting it, and finally it fell on Jia Qi.

Second, having too many ambitious officials in Qinghe is not necessarily a good thing. Someone needs to be in charge. Of course, this is a statement of high emotional intelligence. Low emotional intelligence means they will be a drag.

Qinghe is adjacent to the Wu Kingdom and is in a turbulent time.

You can't just go in blindly, you have to stay steady.

Even though Jia Qi was indulging in alcohol and sex day by day, he was very decisive when it came to exercising his veto power.

to this end.

Cao Wei often cursed Jia Qi right in front of Li Rui's ear.

Li Rui: "No need to send me off, no need to send me off."

talking.

He got into the carriage.

Wang Zhao didn't even need a whip, he just said, "Let's go."

The Red Dragon Horse walked towards An Ning Wei with a clatter.

Now that I am a fifth-rank official, I can no longer rely on my feet everywhere like before. Although warriors have enough endurance, they will also cause others to laugh at me, right?
This is not a question of whether or not to save face.

But officials must act like officials, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

We can't call each family one by one.

Originally Li Rui wanted to ask Tang Hai to be the groom, but Wang Zhao heard about it and volunteered.

Li Rui couldn't resist and just followed Wang Zhao's advice.

fair enough.

Everyone knows that being an official's groom is an extremely important position. The groom knows a lot of secrets, and many people even go out of their way to please the groom.

Go home.

The smell of alcohol on Li Rui had mostly dissipated.

He practiced Qigong as usual, and then wandered to the Dream Cloud Platform.

"Boss Li, there's a pretty boy from Yunzhou who wants to see you."

Tan Hu ran into the lobby of the Military Office.

Li Rui: "Yunzhou?"

"Yes, they said it came from the Marquis's mansion."

There is only one Marquis in the entire Yunzhou, and that is Marquis Yuan of Annan.

"please come in."

After a while.

Then I saw Tan Hu leading a pretty boy into the lobby.

"Xu Chuan?"
