Gao Gen was dissatisfied, but he didn't hold it against a young girl. He personally cleaned a room for Zhang Wanxiang to live in and found two clever girls to serve her.
Feng Tianyang watched Gao Gen's retreating figure and asked Zhang Dong, "Do you think our brother has taken a liking to that girl?"
"what?"
Zhang Dong didn't react in time.
"Maybe."
Zhao Pingshan rubbed his chin and chuckled, "With your straightforwardness, you might just win that girl's favor."
"The daughter of the 63rd Celestial Master is with her eldest brother—"
Wei Shufen chuckled, "The Celestial Master's Mansion has completely lost face."
"What's so shameful about it? Zhang Enpu doesn't represent the Celestial Master's Mansion."
Zhao Tianhai shook his head, "The main Taoist temples of Zhengyi and Quanzhen are all cooperating with the Confucian Association."
Zhang Enpu?
It feels like they've abandoned the dignity of cultivators... The Celestial Master's Mansion is the largest sect; even if they wanted to establish another branch, was it really necessary to go to such lengths?
"Perhaps he's learning from Zhang Jiao."
Zhang Dong blurted it out.
In an instant.
The other five people all turned their attention to this.
Startled, Zhang Dong quickly added, "Ahem! I was just giving an example, it might not be true!"
"You know what!"
"You really don't believe it!"
"Perhaps that Master Da Liang really is a disciple of Long Hu, but he failed, so he is still not recognized by the Celestial Master's Mansion."
"Those Taoist priests aren't as arrogant as they seem!"
"Zhang Enpu's situation is probably different from Zhang Jiao's. The contemporary Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing is the only one who is not a descendant of Zhang Daoling, which may indicate there are other hidden reasons..."
While the five were discussing the Eight Trigrams of the 63rd and 64th Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Wugensheng and Zhang Enpu had already arrived outside the mountain stronghold.
He grabbed Zhang Enpu's right wrist, and before the latter could even ask a question, he leaped up and soared into the sky, his feet treading on clouds.
Before Zhang Enpu could even exclaim in surprise, they arrived in Nanjing in a short while.
This is the territory of the pot-pot pie.
With his feet firmly on the ground, Zhang Enpu looked at the city of Jinling not far away and felt a chill in his heart. He never expected that Wugensheng would have such methods!
Zhang Enpu considered himself well-informed and knowledgeable, possessing various methods of travel such as the Dai Yuanzhang Fu and the Golden Escape Flowing Light, but nothing quite matched the cloud-riding technique of Wugensheng—
Even those with extraordinary abilities might not be able to do it!
However, Wugensheng ignored Zhang Enpu's shock and just smiled and clasped his hands, saying, "My meager skills are probably not worth mentioning to the Celestial Master. I hope the Celestial Master will lead the way so that we can meet the Commander-in-Chief."
Zhang Enpu opened his mouth, sighed, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead Wugensheng toward the government building, reporting to the guards outside.
inside the building.
At the desk.
Upon hearing that Zhang Enpu had brought Wugensheng over, the Commander-in-Chief blinked his sunken eyes, his expression strange: "He has only been gone for two days. Even if he could fly, he should have only reached the Sichuan area. How could he be back now?"
Suspicious, he ordered his men to summon the strange men who had submitted to him, and also ordered them to investigate Zhang Enpu's recent whereabouts to see if he had really gone to the Sichuan area.
After nearly a hundred skilled men arrived and lined up inside and outside, and a dozen or so gun-wielding experts were secretly deployed, Zhang Enpu and Wugensheng were brought in.
Zhang Enpu came first, followed by Wugensheng.
But the latter was not so peaceful.
Having spent three hundred years in the Lingtai, his temperament had become increasingly stable, but he also felt detached from worldly affairs, so he thought he would take a look at the character of this Commander-in-Chief.
So, after entering the corridor, Wugensheng chanted incantations and made hand gestures. He uttered "Om" and circulated his Qi throughout the body, using a shrinking technique to reduce his height to about one meter.
Upon entering the hall, the Commander-in-Chief, seated behind his desk, saw only Zhang Enpu but not Wugensheng. He asked in surprise, "Didn't he come in with you?"
"Commander-in-Chief, Wugensheng is right beside me."
After Zhang Enpu finished speaking, he turned around and saw no sign of Wugensheng. Instead, he saw the scattered scholars who had joined the Guo faction on both sides looking down, winking and trying to suppress their laughter. He couldn't help but look down and saw Wugensheng, whose height had somehow increased to one meter. He was stunned on the spot.
However, compared to the ability to fly through the clouds, this method of shrinking bones is not so surprising. After all, there is a man named Liu in the Quanxing sect who can change a person's appearance and physique.
However, Wugensheng's transformation was not a trick of Liu the Clay Figure, but a genuine skill of transformation. Apart from Jiang Liu, Zhang Zhiwei and others, anyone who saw him would think that Wugensheng was born with this "three-inch" appearance.
The commander-in-chief stood up, his gaze passing over the desk, and only then did he see the meter-tall Wugensheng. He exclaimed in surprise, "You are Wugensheng?"
"Exactly!"
Wu Gensheng shook his head, looked left and right, sizing up the scattered cultivators lined up there, and then noticed several armed men hidden in the shadows. He chuckled inwardly.
This bald guy is quite cautious.
"How dare you!"
"How dare this lowly demon disrespect the lord!"
"I wonder what kind of person I am who can gather the whole sect and assemble more than 84,000 heroes looks like. It turns out to be that 'Wu Dalang'."
The strange men lined up on both sides shouted at them.
"It's alright. He's just a country bumpkin who doesn't know manners. It's understandable. Let him off the hook."
The commander-in-chief relaxed a bit and even laughed out loud.
Seeing this, Wugensheng was not annoyed, but simply asked, "I heard from this Zhang Tianshi that you are going to give me an official position? I wonder what rank it will be?"
"Ah!"
The Commander-in-Chief asked with a smile, "Did you come alone?"
"nature."
Without hesitation, Wugensheng said, "A gentleman treats others with sincerity. The Commander-in-Chief is surely a gentleman and would never set up a trap."
"Ha ha!"
The Commander-in-Chief laughed even more heartily, "How about I appoint you as a 'Special Class General'?"
What is a Special-Class General?
The ranks at the first level are: Major General, Lieutenant General, Second-Class General, First-Class General, and Special-Class General.
And the Grand General—
It was something he made up on the spot, and it was all talk and no action.
Chapter 1313 Five thousand silver dollars as salary? I want three million!
Special-class general.
He was all in name only; the man surnamed Jiang had no intention of giving Wugensheng any real power, especially since he looked down on him because of his short and stocky build.
He merely hoped that Wugensheng could counterbalance the two independent factions in the Sichuan region that did not obey his orders.
But now I have some concerns—
How can such a small person manage more than 80,000 people?
Aren't they all just a bunch of rabble?
if!
The solution is to trick this guy into fighting the two Lius from Sichuan directly, in order to deplete the military strength of those two factions, so that he can subdue them in one fell swoop.
Mind this.
He asked, "I don't know much about the martial arts of you extraordinary people. Even the Foundation Establishment Method that 'Sage Jiang' spread, I haven't practiced..."
"Why not practice?"
Before he could finish speaking, Wugensheng interrupted and asked a question.
Instantly.
The Commander-in-Chief was somewhat displeased, but not angry. He said, "That kind of movement is unseemly. I am the Commander-in-Chief, and a General of the First Rank. If I were to do those kinds of movements like an ordinary person, what kind of decorum would that be?"
"..."
Wu Gensheng remained silent on the surface, but deep down he understood why Jiang Liu wouldn't cooperate with the Guo faction.
It wasn't just because this person betrayed the Gong faction.
It is also because he is neither benevolent nor wise.
Unwise—
The opportunity to gain power is right in front of you, yet you don't seize it.
heartless--
He is not much different from a normal person, with one nose and two nostrils, and he is not a spiritual practitioner, but he insists on pointing his nostrils upwards to distinguish himself from ordinary people.
Even extraordinary people are human.
Besides, this commander-in-chief isn't even an extraordinary being!
"I'm more curious—"
The Commander-in-Chief stared at Wugensheng and said, "How can someone as insignificant as you manage his subordinates?"
"Small?"
Wugensheng grinned and chuckled, "It's not difficult for the Commander-in-Chief to have a big one."
The moment he finished speaking, Wugensheng took a deep breath, his body trembled, and he grew to seven feet tall.
This sudden turn of events startled the Commander-in-Chief, and two of the strange men in the left and right rows reacted by rushing towards Wugensheng.
But Wugensheng chuckled, crossed his arms, reached out and grabbed the fists and feet of the two men, and with a gentle pull, he made them stick together and fall to the ground with a "thud".
Before the commander-in-chief could exclaim in surprise, Wugensheng laughed and said, "Commander-in-chief, these two lads have committed insubordination and tried to attack me, a special general. I wonder what their punishment should be?"
