Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 150: Shocking News from the Secret Guard

"I, the thief saint, will give you my love."

Bai Zhantang rolled his eyes. What a lousy thief saint. He was now a member of the Heavenly Stem of the Xuanjia Secret Guard. If he went out into the open, he would at the very least be a fifth-rank civil servant, or the level of the Jinyiwei Zhenfushi.

There are compiled.

When their prince becomes orthodox, he can at least be promoted one level higher.

Starting from the fourth rank, if he is sent to the outer guard command headquarters, he may even be a fourth rank commander-in-chief. If he governs a place, he may directly be a prefect. If he joins the Jinyiwei, he will be a pacification envoy. If he joins the Liushenmen, he will be a golden medal constable.

Why would you want to be a thief if you don't want a bright future?
Ever since being recruited by Zhu Jinzhen, Bai Zhantang has had a very clear positioning of himself.

That is, he, Bai Zhantang, is the Xuanjia secret guard under the Prince Su's Mansion.

Thief Saint? That's all gone now.

Sikong Zhaixing was just teasing at first, but when she saw Bai Zhantang's serious expression, she became curious: "No way, are you really short of money?"

Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuxue and others also looked at him curiously.

It is absolutely a joke that the famous thief who is sought after by countless heroes is short of money.

But Bai Zhantang didn't seem to be joking.

Bai Zhantang nodded vigorously: "Nonsense, I'm short of it."

"You don't need money to marry a wife and have children, you don't need money to buy a house? You don't need money to raise children in the future?"

"Oh, I forgot. You, Sikong Zhaixing, are a bachelor. When you have money, you like to visit brothels. You are different from a decent person like me."

All I can say is that these words are very dirty.

Not only did it silence Sikong Zhaixing.

Even Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuxue's expressions changed slightly.

Most of the people present were bachelors, and besides Sikong Zhaixing, Lu Xiaofeng also liked to drink wine, and even Hua Manlou would occasionally be dragged over. Although he was an innocent victim, he was indeed affected.

Sikong Zhaixing was silent for a moment, then he quickly broke into a sly smile, pointing at Hua Manlou and saying, "Then you've found the right person this time. Hua Jia is the richest man in the world. It's said that the Hua family's wealth is so vast that even if you gallop through Jiangnan, from sunrise to sunset, you can't escape their territory. You don't have to be polite to him."

Although merit can be exchanged for gold at a one-to-one ratio in the Hall of Merit, the usual exchange rate is one-to-five or even one-to-ten.

Sikong Zhaixing's words were to remind Bai Zhantang not to be polite.

"Go on, do I look like the kind of person who would take advantage of his friends?" Bai Zhantang rolled his eyes at him and directly dragged Hua Manlou to the mission office to transfer merit points.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at his back, a trace of doubt flashed across his face: "Does this Mr. Bai have a lot of merit points?"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't believe that Bai Zhantang didn't know the importance of merit points, but he could still act so relaxed, which was somewhat strange.

Sikong Zhaixing shrugged. "His mission is different from ours, and no one knows what it is specifically. But as far as I know, his merits are calculated on a monthly basis. Although it's not much, it's a steady stream that goes a long way."

Lu Xiaofeng pinched his chin, looking thoughtful.

At this time, two secret guards strode over holding two purple scrolls.

"Purple-level mission?"

After Sikong Zhaixing exclaimed, exclamations from the secret guards gathering place also came one after another.

Even Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuxue, Bai Zhantang, Hua Manlou and others who had just earned merit points showed extremely surprised expressions.

The tasks of the secret guards are divided into four levels: green, blue, purple and black. Ordinary tasks are basically only at the green and blue levels. For example, when the twelve guards of Shaanxi surrounded Lanzhou, the secret guards received cleaning tasks, from great masters of astronomy such as Gongsun Wulong to ordinary masters of the Vajra Realm.

Sikong Zhaixing had seen the Purple Seal mission several times, but had never accepted it.

Lu Xiaofeng and others had only heard about it.

Even Bai Zhantang's eyes lit up: "A purple-level mission, how long have I not seen one?"

Although he had a long-term purple-level mission, Bai Zhantang knew that he just needed to pay attention to Tongfu Inn and Qixia Town to see if there were any abnormal people behaving strangely, who were incompatible with ordinary people, or some overly evil geniuses.

His purple-level mission was different from the purple-level missions carried out by other secret guards. While Bai Zhantang was thinking, all the secret guards around him rushed over.

They all asked whether the purple-level mission could be revealed, whether they could accept it, the mission rewards, etc.

The secret guard holding the scroll shouted loudly: "Silence."

Another Xuanjia Secret Guard quickly recounted Zhu Jinzhen's request, "All Secret Guards are welcome to sign up for this mission. The reward is: one bowl of Dragon Tonic Soup, or the next-level Dragon Tonic Soup, or ten bowls of Yuxu Porridge, five times the salary, and 10,000 merit points per year."

This reward is quite generous.

Almost all the secret guards, including Bai Zhantang, were tempted.

After all, the mission was only to set up a new secret guard branch and develop intelligence, not to assassinate the emperor. As long as they were careful, it would be easy for them who had already undergone secret guard training.

Even Hua Manlou was quite tempted: "May I ask, sir, if I want to sign up, is there any way?"

Li Wuyi glanced at Hua Manlou and noticed that his eyes were dull. Information about Hua Manlou quickly emerged in his mind. He nodded and said, "Yes, and considering your special situation, if your application is approved, you can advance part of the reward or reward."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but..." Hua Manlou shook his head, wanting to refuse.

"Wait, listen to me!" Li Wuyi interrupted Hua Manlou with a hand, then swept his eyes over the crowd and announced another piece of news: "Our secret guards' missions often involve risking their lives, and this time we need to travel far beyond the Nine Provinces. Therefore, His Highness has shown mercy and granted us a special favor."

"Anyone with a physical defect can spend merit points to make up for it."

"If you don't have enough merit points, you can advance them and deduct them from subsequent tasks."

Wow! !

As soon as the news came out, the secret guards almost rioted.

Although the Xuanjia Secret Guards were not as prone to casualties as other intelligence organizations, injuries were commonplace, and there were many who were missing limbs.

Even if there is no secret guard, he is lucky and strong enough not to be injured.

Some may have congenital defects, or their relatives and friends may have some defects.

This news was like thunder to them, but also the dawn of salvation.

"Master Wuyi, can congenital defects be remedied?"

"Master Wuyi has five drawbacks and three shortcomings. Can his innate lack of intelligence make up for it?"

"can."

One of the secret guards was so excited that his entire body was shaking. "Master Wuyi, I have a friend who was born a eunuch. Is there any hope for saving this congenital defect?"

Although they were all wearing masks, after he asked this question.

Many people looked over, gazing at this secret guard who seemed to have appeared out of thin air with a strange look on their faces.

"can."

Li Wuyi nodded as usual.

The man who was asking the question had a distorted expression under his mask, and he wanted to shout "I'm saved!" "I'm saved!"

It was only because he was surrounded by fellow secret guards that he forced himself to suppress his almost crazy excitement.

Seeing that everyone still had endless questions, Li Wuyi simply released some of his aura and pressed forward: "I'll say it again, as long as the person is not dead, no matter what the flaw is, it can be made up for."

Seeing Li Wuyi so confident, Lu Xiaofeng and all the other secret guards knew that he must have tested it countless times.

Lu Xiaofeng bowed slightly and said, "Sir, if someone like my companion needs to be treated for an acquired eye disease, how many merit points would it cost?"

Li Wuyi didn't answer, but simply told him, "You can ask the Merit Hall for details. However, if he is willing to sign up for this purple-level mission and is approved by the commander, even if he doesn't have enough merit points, he can advance some of them."

"Understood. Thank you, sir."

Although Hua Manlou had adapted to the dark life, he was so excited to hear that there was hope for his recovery, and that it was almost within his grasp, that his hands holding the folding fan began to tremble.
