There is a large lake in the palace of the Imperial Guard, covering an area of several hectares.
After entering the company, warriors within the company soon appeared.
Several warriors wearing black robes embroidered with tigers blocked the way of Ding Yan and others, and their eyes were fixed on Cao Su, who had not yet changed into uniform clothes.
Cao Su remained silent, and he could feel that among these people, some were middle-level masters in the realm of strength, and their skills were not weak.
"Ding Baihu, who is this?"
When the leader asked, Ding Yan came out and explained: "This is Cao Su, the new 100 households of the Gongwei Department."
Cao Su immediately took out the official documents he had brought with him as proof of identity.
After careful review, the warrior returned the document to Cao Su, and then said in a cold voice: "Wait in the front square and let me go and report to the commander."
The front square is the square where Cao Su and others are now.
Ding Yan said to Cao Su: "Brother Cao, just wait here with peace of mind. We will report to Jingyao Division first."
It was inconvenient for a few people to wait here, so they said goodbye to Cao Su and left.
Cao Su stood alone in the front square.
He saw the black warriors who had stopped him step into the mist and disappear in an instant.
The large square was deserted and no one was entertaining.
Cao Su simply closed his eyes, sat in the square and began to practice his inner strength.
Since the battle at Lushan, Cao Su's internal energy water grinding skills have continued to improve, but there is still a gap between him and the fourth level.
The inner strength of the fourth grade is more solid than that of the fifth grade, and the size is completely different.
Generally, the internal energy of a fourth-level warrior can reach three to four times that of a fifth-level warrior.
Such powerful internal energy can help warriors temper their bodies faster, especially the cultivation of their internal organs.
Like Cao Su, he has more internal energy than ordinary warriors, and his qi and blood are amazing. With the dual tempering of qi, blood and internal energy, his internal organs are even better.
Only with stronger internal organs can stronger internal energy be accommodated in the body.
These are all mutually reinforcing martial arts connections, and they cannot be separated in the normal path of cultivation.
After all, his mentality is very good, and he dares to practice directly when he goes to a strange place.
I don’t know how long I have been practicing, but it was almost dark when a distant voice suddenly came from the mist.
"Sure enough, heroes come from youth. Cao Zhaowu is so diligent, no wonder he is so powerful in the world."
When the voice was first heard, it was still far away in the mist. When he spoke the last word, the figure appeared in front of Cao Su like thunder and lightning.
Cao Su opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged man wearing a green robe.
His robes were neat and tidy, and his beard was neatly combed. He held a book in his hand and looked Cao Su up and down.
Cao Su stood up, much taller than the man in green robe.
Then, several more figures appeared in the mist.
I don't know Cao Su but Dou, but judging from his appearance, he is quite young.
"I have met all my lords."
Cao Su bowed his hands in salute, and someone immediately introduced him to Cao Su: "Cao Su, this is Mr. Jiang Qi, the commander of our Arch Guard Division."
Is Jiang Qi, the commander of the Arch Guard Department, the man in green robe?
Cao Su also looked at Jiang Qi carefully, then met his eyes, lowered his head secretly, and didn't look any further.
"I've met Commander Jiang."
Jiang Qi smiled slightly and said: "The Gongwei Division is the eyes and ears of the emperor. Once you enter the Gongwei Division, you cannot easily leave. Today, Cao Su, you can take the initiative to report to the Gongwei Division, which shows that you are willing to repay the emperor."
Cao Su:..........
Jiang Qi paused and then said: "In the past, during the great battle of Lushan, there was a cholera epidemic in the Central Plains. Fortunately, you and other soldiers sacrificed their lives to defeat the rebels and protect the country. This time, many good soldiers from the army were mobilized to join the Gongwei Division.
The emperor has the intention of testing and promoting you, so you must not let down the emperor's expectations."
After hearing Jiang Qi's words, Cao Su couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
According to Jiang Qi, in addition to Cao Su, many people in the army were also transferred to the Arch Guard Division this time.
It seems that the emperor wanted to transfer people from the army to the Gongwei Division.
What do you mean, has his name appeared in front of the emperor?
Cao Su did not dare to think too much, and quickly said humbly: "Cao is a martial artist, he is not worth mentioning."
"'Hundred cavalry robbed the bandit camp, and his achievements shocked the world.' Cao Zhaowu is not an unknown person in the capital city now, so don't belittle yourself."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Jiang Qi gave a few more words of encouragement, and then introduced them one by one to the colleagues, ministers and other officials nearby.
After Cao Su paid homage to the top of the mountain, it was time for the introduction of the Zhenfu envoy.
Theoretically, there are three governors in total, but in reality, none of the three governors are in the palace.
The only people attending the "Enrollment Conference" were the deputy town governors of each department.
Tianwu Division, Jingyao Division, and Zhenxie Division.
The deputy governors of the three divisions are all masters of the highest level of strength. Among them, the deputy governor of the Jingyao Division is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He is strong, has a stern face, and is taciturn. When introducing the Jingyao Division
, using only a few sentences.
"Kill demons and eliminate demons, and maintain peace."
The other two deputy governors were much more enthusiastic and introduced themselves one after another.
Including the overview of their respective departments, achievements, etc., and even promised Cao Su's career development.
"As long as Cao Zhaowu comes to our Tianwu Division, he will do his best to train him in the future. Our Tianwu Division has the best skills and the strongest training resources..."
"The resources of our Evil Suppression Department are not bad either."
"Cao Zhaowu should know Lord Yuanzong, our governor. In the future, there will be Lord Yuanzong in Tianwu Division..."
"Hey? Why are you still doing this so blatantly? If you want to put it this way, the Sima Zhenfu Envoy of our Suppressing Evil Department is also an old subordinate of the right general Qin Hu..."
The two deputy governors became more and more exaggerated.
Jiang Qi couldn't listen anymore and interrupted the two of them directly.
"Okay, so you are saying that you are all ready to win over Cao Su? Don't forget, which company you end up with will have to be reported to heaven."
Jiang Qi woke up the two of them. He looked at Cao Su, who had a calm expression on his face. He seemed to have an unchanging expression and indeed had the demeanor of a general.
A middle-grade martial artist like Cao Su, who has rich military experience and is loyal to the imperial court, is the new recruit that the Gongwei Division likes to win over the most.
The three divisions all made it clear that they wanted to win over Cao Su.
Among them, Jing Yaosi is the most peculiar. Probably Gu Zhenxiao knew that the deputy governor could not speak, so he took the initiative to send a talking Baihu to get close to Cao Su in advance.
Cao Su fell into deep thought. Each of the three divisions has power and different characteristics. Each division has its own benefits.
It seems that the Jing Yao Division is the least profitable. After all, the other two divisions, one collecting intelligence and the other monitoring officials, are much better than this one, assisting in cracking down and dealing with evil spirits.
Seeing Cao Su's hesitation, Jiang Qi asked the three deputy governors to retreat.
Only Cao Su and a group of senior officials from the command department were left on the scene.
Jiang Qi smiled and said: "What, has Cao Zhaowu made a decision?"
After thinking for a while, Cao Su said: "I usually don't make a choice."
Jiang Qi was deceived by Cao Su. What does it mean to not make a choice?
Cao Su stretched out his palm, then clenched his fist: "Can I have both?"
Jiang Qi:..........
He shook his head and refused: "This is not okay, there is no such rule."
Cao Su said: "Is there such a thing as training for me to change my job?"
Jiang Qi said coldly: "No."
Cao Su sighed: "Okay, then I can only choose Jingyao Division."
Jing Yaosi!
Cao Su's final choice was Jing Yaosi, which surprised Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi thought that Cao Su would choose the Suppression of Evil Division. After all, the Suppression of Evil Division was a first-class and powerful department. The Jingyao Division was the most difficult and tiring of the three divisions, and had the highest casualty rate.
Cao Su saw everyone looking a little puzzled.
So he said in a deep voice: "I like playing in the wild."
Everyone:???
.........
Cao Su chose to join the Jingyao Division.
Officials in the department sent Cao Su a white python robe symbolizing hundreds of households.
The general banners and minor banners under a hundred households, including the ordinary sergeants of the Guards Division, all wear tiger robes.
Robes embroidered with white pythons were worn by hundreds of households and thousands of households. Those who went up to the rank of envoys wore black python robes. They were all hierarchical and had different details.
The officials led Cao Su to the headquarters of Jingyao Division.
On the way, they met Tang Jiu, the deputy governor of Jing Yaosi who came after hearing the news.
Tang Jiu was the strong man who met Cao Su in the front square, with a stern face and few words.
After seeing Cao Su, he forced out a smile, but it soon disappeared.
"If you join the Jing Yao Division, you will be a demon slayer."
His voice was cold, and the two of them walked deeper into the lake.
Only then did Cao Su realize that the mist near the lake was very magical. As long as someone came over, the mist would quickly dissipate as if it had spiritual energy.
As soon as the person passed by, the mist immediately rushed to fill that inch of space.
Not long after passing through the fog, we encountered a small boat.
There was a fisherman on the boat who bowed to Tang Jiu after seeing him.
Tang Jiu said to Cao Su: "Follow me."
After finishing speaking, he used Qinggong to jump towards the lake, and his whole body floated out. The Qinggong was very good.
Cao Su quickly gathered his strength and followed.
Tang Jiu's internal energy endurance was obviously much stronger than that of Cao Su. He could leap dozens of feet in one breath, as if he was flying on the lake.
Cao Su began to land after crossing more than ten feet.
Cao Su tapped the surface of the lake lightly with his toes, and with the help of the reaction force of the lake water, he stepped forward and flew up.
He chased after Tang Jiu.
The two of them crossed more than a hundred feet on the lake and arrived at a small island in the middle of the lake.
The island in the center of the lake is full of green plants, with several courtyards and attics. The highest attic is located in the center of the island. The three characters "Jing Yaosi" are written on the door plaque of the attic.
Tang Jiu didn't say anything and walked straight inside.
Cao Su followed Tang Jiu and walked into Jingyao Division.
As soon as I stepped onto the island, I suddenly felt that the temperature on the entire island had dropped several degrees.
A gust of wind blew from nowhere, and a few faint chuckles were heard.
