After the banquet was over, Cao Ning took a mouthful of food and looked like a resentful woman who had fallen out of favor in the palace.
His face was drooped, his mouth was flat, and he was walking aimlessly with his hands in his trouser pockets.
"How could this happen... It doesn't make sense. Even if you want to be the most familiar stranger, you won't have no expression at all, right?"
"Even if it's Bi Mawen, you can give it to me anyway..."
"Oh, this is going to be difficult. How do you want me to recruit people in the future?"
Cao Ning lowered his head in great annoyance, but the generals following him didn't think so anymore.
In their opinion, Xia Shihan was clearly favoring Cao Ning.
If he is given an official position and transferred from his current post, then the Black Flag Army will definitely be leaderless, and it will be too simple to merge and reorganize it.
Although Cao Ning has not been given an official title at the moment, it is still a good thing. As long as someone has a gun, there is no need to worry about big things happening.
"Hey, Brother Ning, we brothers are just powerful enough. If you want to use high-ranking officials and generous salaries to dismantle our Black Flag Army, there is no way."
Li Kui smiled naively and ran over to show his courtesy. He thought he would be praised by Cao Ning, but unexpectedly he was given a blank stare.
Cao Ning grabbed Li Kui's black ears angrily and said speechlessly: "You are stupid, who told you to refuse? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Li Kui grimaced in pain, covered his ears and begged for mercy: "Oh, oh, oh, it hurts, it hurts. Brother Ning, I didn't let a donkey kick my head. Except for you who often kick my ass, who dares to touch my big boss..."
"You also said..."
Cao Ning's sudden move stunned the generals who had just come out of the hall.
Half a minute ago, they were feeling complacent in rejecting Xia Shihan's reward for their righteousness, but unexpectedly they were scolded by Cao Ning when they walked out the door.
"And you all, stand still for me!"
Cao Ning took a deep breath and looked at the other generals: "You... well, what can I say? You have been with me for so long, why can't your brain turn around?"
"Oh, forget it, Haizi, come and explain to them, it makes my liver hurt with anger."
The more Cao Ning thought about it, the worse he became. He simply covered his heart and said nothing, waving his hand to Zhao Hai to come out and explain.
Zhao Hai, who knew Cao Ning's temper very well, immediately walked out of the crowd with a smile after hearing the call.
The three of them were unable to be promoted to yincai because their yang life spans were not over and their karma in the mortal world was still unfinished.
However, in order to take care of them, Xia Shihan still asked them to shoulder the responsibility of ferrymen in the west of Jiangning City.
Although three people share the same district, they are still very satisfied. At least compared to their peers, they have already won at the starting line.
Besides Huo Qubing, they were also the other three people who received the reward.
"Everyone, you have all misunderstood me, Brother Ning! Don't you still understand why Brother Ning wants to spread you out to serve as officials?"
"Why?"
Zhang Fei stared at his big eyes and moved around.
He really couldn't figure out what medicine Cao Ning was selling in his gourd.
"Idiot, of course it's just to poach someone!"
Zhao Hai patted Zhang Fei's head and continued: "Think about it, if all the generals of our Black Flag Army are scattered, how many people will we have to recruit back?"
"I think it won't be long before I, Brother Ning, still have the final say in the underworld?"
"..."
After hearing this truth, Cao Ning couldn't help but come up and add a few words.
"Ahem... Haizi, although you explained it well, can you please speak in a lower voice? Then the old Qintou hasn't gone far yet. Are you afraid that he will be deaf?"
"..."
King Qin Guang, who was walking at the front of the procession, almost fell over when he heard Cao Ning's statement.
He is the leader of the Ten Palaces of Hell, and now he has been treated like this by a little ferryman. It is really embarrassing to spread the news.
He was seen stumbling, turning his head to glare at Cao Ning resentfully.
"Hey, King Qin, you haven't left yet?"
Zhao Hai turned his head and found that King Qin Guang was stunned on the spot, staring here.
Seeing his angry eyes, Zhao Hai subconsciously smiled and scratched his head: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm talking nonsense, please don't take it to heart."
"..."
King Qin Guang was so angry that he no longer wanted to speak.
I bet Cao Ning had a droopy face in the hall before, it was because of this.
Fortunately, he didn't get what he wanted!
But King Qin Guang, who knew the truth, was still angry and his face turned red.
When he thought of the 100,000 troops and famous generals poached by Cao Ning, he was so angry that his head hurt.
But what else can he do?
Even if she told Xia Shihan about this, she wouldn't get much of a reaction, it would just be a show in front of them.
In the end, the result is nothing more than self-deception.
"That's it, leave it alone. Anyway, the underworld is not my family's property. You two can do whatever you want. I, I, I...I'll go back and sleep."
King Qin Guang, who had figured everything out, immediately flicked his sleeves and robes angrily, unwilling to pay attention to it anymore, and then turned around and strode away.
Only then did the generals who heard the cause and effect understand Cao Ning's good intentions.
Dare to be affectionate is an old habit that happened again!
Kong Ming sighed and rubbed his eyebrows: "Oh, that's so sloppy!"
Not only Kong Ming, but other generals also beat their chests and feet in regret.
As long as they could figure out Cao Ning's thoughts, they wouldn't say that they would make such a low-level mistake.
But now that the matter was over, Cao Ning didn't want to say anything more.
He sighed and reassured everyone: "I can't blame you entirely for this matter. It's all my fault for not explaining it to you in advance. I will review this and give you some compensation."
"Brother Ning, this is absolutely impossible. You are the leader of an army. How can you criticize so lightly? We are the ones who want to criticize."
"Yes, Brother Ning, I really can't blame you for this. It's all our fault for being too pedantic."
"That's right, Brother Ning, if you have this intention, brothers will be very satisfied. As for punishing yourself, you must not do it."
"I said, what are you all thinking about?"
Cao Ning opened his eyes wide and retorted: "No, do you think I can't get over it and want to commit suicide to apologize?"
"You are willing but I am not willing!"
Cao Ning rolled his eyes and explained: "I originally wanted to give all of your senior generals a latest model of Ai Feng. Since you are all so upright, let's forget it."
"Crazy in love? Damn it, long live Brother Ning!"
Upon hearing this term, Zhang Fei immediately ran up excitedly and gave Cao Ning a big hug.
"Ahem, cough, cough... Big Boss, please get out of here, I don't like men... If you don't get out of here, believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up!"
After being scolded by Cao Ning, Zhang Fei obediently let him go.
Prior to this, the generals in the Spirit Realm had heard that the underworld had extradited Lao Qiao from the West, and he had been engaged in scientific and technological work, and the new products he had made could even communicate between the Yin and Yang realms.
It's just that they have been trapped in the spiritual realm and have never seen it.
It wasn't until later that Cheng Yaojin showed off an old mobile phone he snatched from somewhere, which made everyone envious.
Although it is a bit old, it can still be used if it cannot stand.
