After no longer facing life and death threats and making sure that the guard in front of him would not kill him again, Chen Chao became the most astute businessman in the world.
The guard looked at him and was quite unhappy. How could he have imagined that things would develop to this situation? According to his thoughts, no matter how determined the young man in front of him was, under his beating,
He had to listen to his own words and do something for the Liang Dynasty on behalf of the Guarding Envoy. But he really didn't expect that after experiencing so much, the young man's mind was still not confused. At this moment, he could still make requests.
Come on, just like the shrewdest fishmonger in Nancheng.
However, this is quite consistent with the style of those who live in ruins.
"Sir, what this official is doing is a life-and-death thing. To save Daliang Chao's face, shouldn't he be given something to soothe his heart?"
Chen Chao looked forward to it.
The guard sneered and said, "If you have a good ranking, you will be rewarded."
Of course the guardian knew what Chen Chao was thinking. If Chen Chao behaved docilely and respected him enough, then giving him something at this moment would not be a big deal.
But at this moment, this young man is asking for it in this way, which really makes him not happy, but it doesn't matter if he is not happy, Chen Chao has already convinced him, if he doesn't agree, he can completely believe that Chen Chao will soon become Tianyuyuan's leader
Official, and then shined in the Wanliu Conference, which made him regret it for more than ten years.
Seeing Chen Chao's silence, the guard said expressionlessly, "If I were younger, I wouldn't have any need for you."
Chen Chaopi smiled but said, "But you are not young anymore."
"You are. What you lack is the elixir to strengthen your muscles and bones. These things are available in the garrison. I will give you a year's supply."
The guard was too lazy to talk nonsense. He was not a fishmonger from the south of the city, so he directly quoted his own price.
Chen Chao said in disbelief, "Sir, such an important matter is only worth a year's worth of elixir to you?"
After saying this, Chen Chao didn't wait for the guard to speak, and then said, "Since your Excellency wants to say this, I will immediately ask Tianyuyuan if there are better conditions."
The guardian envoy said angrily, "If you don't get the top five, even for this year's quantity, I think it's too much. Do you think the elixir of the guardian envoy's mansion is ordinary?"
Chen Chao smiled, did not refute, bowed his hands and said, "I'm taking my leave."
After saying this, Chen Chao turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Come back!" the guard yelled, "How about two years? I'll give you another handy knife."
The guard envoy looked at Chen Chao's broken sword and was quite dissatisfied.
Chen Chao held down the handle of the knife, not that
He wanted to cut off the head of the guardian envoy with a knife at any time, but it was a subconscious move. However, realizing where he was at this moment, he retracted his hand angrily and said, "I have deep feelings for this knife, so there is no need to change it."
Yes, but if you want to give it as an adult, just give me something else."
The guard's face looked a little ugly. At this moment, the top military officer of the Liang Dynasty was becoming murderous.
The guard said directly, "Tell me, I don't like the elixir for two years. What are your conditions? I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you."
"In this case, I will just make some small requests. Considering my status, these things are just a drop in the bucket..."
Seeing that the guard's face was getting worse and worse, Chen Chao quickly said, "The elixir that has been used to strengthen the muscles and bones for three years must be the best. Give it to me now. If I am lucky enough to win the leader, can I go to Wangyou?"
All the elixirs in the world?”
As a person, what Chen Chao hates the most is the practice of polishing the body and bones. Not only is it very painful every time, but it also costs a ridiculous amount of money. If he had to rely on himself, Chen Chao would not know what he should do.
The place is filled with these things.
"You are really a lion who wants to win the first place. Do you think it's just a few children playing house?"
The guardian sarcastically said, "It's just you?"
Chen Chao asked, "Does this young monk who participated in the Wanliu Society have no upper limit to his realm?"
The guard snorted coldly, "There is only an upper age limit, but it's no more than eighteen."
Chen Chao took a breath of air and asked, "If that's the case, isn't it possible to lie about your age?"
The guardian had been feeling sulky before, but now he could finally let it out. He looked at Chen Chao and sneered, "Do you think all the monks in the world are blind and deaf and can't even judge this?"
Chen Chao smiled sheepishly and said, "That is to say, under the age of eighteen, there must be someone among the monks outside the country who has set foot in the fourth realm."
The guardian looked at Chen Chao as if he were an idiot, which made Chen Chao very dissatisfied, but he could not get angry.
Chen Chao muttered, "It's just one step away. It's not like I can't give it a try."
The guard sneered and said, "It's not a small talk. If you really win the championship, you will be the first person in our Liang Dynasty for two hundred years. So what if I give you the things you want?"
In fact, once the Chen Dynasty wins the championship, he will definitely become the real genius of the Liang Dynasty. Let alone what he wants, even more excessive requests may be satisfied.
Chen Chao spread his hands, "In that case
, thank you so much, sir."
This is asking for something.
"You are really shameless, but I... don't hate you."
The guard envoy looked at the young man in front of him who could defeat him even if he was only in the realm of Shenzang. The anger in his eyes dissipated, but some appreciation emerged. Just with such an unruly behavior, he felt that Chen Chao was going to
Much better than those young people who were cultivated by the governor's yamen.
Many young people are too afraid of so-called rules, which actually makes them lack a lot of creativity.
This may be one of the reasons why the monks in the Liang Dynasty were not as good as the monks outside Fang.
The guardian was a little distracted and said, "It would be fine if you were not a descendant of those poor people." .??.
Chen Chao looked at the heroic man in front of him and was silent for a long time. He didn't know what to say for a while, but in the end he shook his head and said softly, "I'm not."
This was more than the first time he had said such a thing, but it was obvious that no one would believe it.
The guard smiled, turned to look at him, and said, "Stay and eat."
Chen Chao said seriously, "It's better to get the things first."
…
…
At dusk, the sky is a little red, that's the sunset.
The steward sent Chen Chao outside and watched him get on the carriage and enter the carriage.
The carriage slowly left in front of the Governor's Mansion. In the carriage, Song Lian lowered the curtain and said with some emotion, "You are the first one to stay in the Governor's Mansion for such a long time."
Chen Chao's eyes retracted as Song Lian lowered the curtain. At this moment, listening to what he said, he said with some emotion, "You must not know the horror of that study room."
Song Lian stared at Chen Chao for a few times, not knowing what he was thinking, but he just took out a waist badge from his arms, handed it to Chen Chao, and said, "From today on, you are one of the left guards of my city."
Member."
Chen Chao took the waist badge and found to his surprise that there were several big characters engraved on it.
Deputy Commander of the Left Guard of Shendu.
Chen Chao was a little unbelievable.
The commander of Zuowei is the fourth rank, so if he becomes the deputy commander, he will be the fourth rank.
Song Lian sneered and said, "What's the surprise? Now you can't be the guardian envoy, and you have to attend the Wanliu Meeting for my guardian envoy's office. How can you do it without an identity?"
Although Chen Chao had known for a long time that his final result would be to return to the line of guardian envoy, he really did not expect that he could go directly from a small local guardian to become the deputy commander of Zuowei.
This kind of promotion speed is really outrageous.
<
br> "The official positions in the Guarding Envoy lineage are decided by the Guarding Envoy. If he is willing, you can immediately become the commander of the right guard."
"Why not left guard?"
"You still want to sit in my seat?"
"No...I was just asking."
After a moment, Chen Chao became worried and asked, "Am I going to become your subordinate from now on and work as an errand in that Zuowei Yamen?"
Song Lian sneered, "If you think this is interesting, I can order it every day."
Chen Chao remained silent.
Song Lian glanced at him and then said, "It's just a false position, just hanging on it. You can't mobilize the people on my left guard. Don't have any inappropriate thoughts, but I did help you get a yard."
, it’s your official residence, but looking at you like this, I don’t seem to want to visit it.”
Song Lian chuckled, "Of course I understand. How can you, a boy like you, be willing to live alone when you have a beautiful woman by your side? It's okay. I'll keep the keys for you, and I'll hire two women to clean them up for you. I don't know.
Can you, kid, live in it? If you become successful soon, the yard will be empty. I can give it to someone else by then. Anyway, things..."
Chen Chao was convinced of this, nodded and said, "Aside from the Imperial City, where is the safer place than the academy?"
Song Lian muttered to himself, "It's not just that, probably there is no place in the entire city of gods where there is a prettier girl than the mistress of the small courtyard by the lake."
Chen Chao laughed.
He was thinking about the elixirs he had obtained at the Guardian Envoy's Mansion. He had not polished his body for a long time, and now it was time for him to do it again.
But now that the situation in the divine capital is so complicated, he really doesn't want to leave that small courtyard.
Song Lian suddenly said solemnly, "You have received the money, aren't you going to do something?"
Chen Chao was startled, then remembered something and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect you to be so urgent."
He was talking about what happened in the carriage before arriving.
Song Lian said matter-of-factly, "Life is short. I'm already buried in dirt. At this age, why don't I hurry up?"
Chen Chao closed his eyes in pain, thinking that the guardian envoy was talking about tigers and wolves.
It’s really unpalatable!

I was originally thinking about getting regular updates or something, but when I thought about how difficult it is for me to do daily updates, I might not be able to do it, so I stopped talking about it. Here again, I am asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes.
I am working hard to save the manuscript and prepare to celebrate the New Year with everyone in a few days.
