52: Jane is in the heart of the emperor and has a bright future
"Fang Zhenfu doesn't know something."
The elegant man in the first seat seemed to be aware of Fang Qian's horror and said with a smile: "After you left Pingan County, the Liansheng Sect forced their way into the Zhenfu Division and abducted Li Qun who was imprisoned."
Fang Gan looked surprised: "Is this happening? But before I left, I repeatedly told Zhou Yu to be careful of the Liansheng Sect's attacks."
The elegant man looked gloomy and said sarcastically: "Zhou Yu? It seems that he didn't take your words to heart."
Fang Qian said in fear: "I don't understand what your Excellency said."
The elegant man sneered: "He thought that after you were promoted, the position of Demon Suppressor would belong to him, and he was eager to make money and show his prestige."
"What?" Fang Qian was stunned. He really didn't know about this.
The man looked at him deeply and said meaningfully: "It seems that this guy is hiding quite deep, and even Fang Zhenfu has not noticed it."
"This person is a bit clever. He actually knows how to use the forces in the city to clean up the evil spirits around him. It's a pity that his intentions are not right."
"What the imperial court wants is balance and stability, not the government forcing the people to rebel, the people being angry and crying... and he did exactly that."
"What?"
Fang Qian was obviously stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and subconsciously looked at Zuo Chongming in the palace.
He was 80% sure that Zuo Chongming's instigation was definitely behind Zhou Yu's ability to do such a bad thing...
After all, in terms of city government and scheming, ten Zhou Yus tied together are not enough for Zuo Chongming.
"result……"
The man chuckled and said: "Lianshengjiao broke into Zhenfusi at night and rescued Li Qun. If Huang Ting hadn't taken action in time, the loss would have been even greater."
"Fortunately, Zuo Chongming had interrogated Li Qun before and noticed that this man had a strange demeanor, so he secretly used a trick to force him to take dragon worms."
"Zuo Chongming advised Zhou Yu to act cautiously, but this person was impatient and hurriedly mobilized troops to track down the traces. In the end... haha."
Fang Qian took a deep breath and continued talking: "May I ask, sir, what happened in the end?"
The man took a sip of wine and sighed: "Zhou Yu forced his way into the opponent's den, alarming the remnants of the Liansheng Sect, causing the opponent to fight back desperately."
"It doesn't matter if a person like him dies, but it's a pity that the inspectors who trusted him have suffered heavy losses... Fortunately, Zuo Chongming was there."
"This kid broke through to the Blood Coagulation Realm before the battle, and risked his life to replace a helmsman of the Liansheng Sect, saving some face for our Suppression Division."
"hiss……"
After Fang Qian heard this story, his scalp couldn't help but tingle.
A sudden breakthrough? Risking your life to replace a helmsman? What the hell are you fooling around?
He thought he knew Zuo Chongming very well, and wanted to spit on the man on the spot: "Do you believe this kind of criticism?"
But this kind of operation can only be thought of, and Fang Gan dare not put it into practice.
"Zuo Chongming, you are very good."
The man was generous in his praise: "Thanks to you for sending Li Qun's confession in time, I was able to mobilize people in time and destroy the Liansheng Sect's hideouts."
"This time the Liansheng Sect lost two guardians, four helmsmen, countless peripheral members, and secret communication lines."
"I reported this good news to Emperor Wu. Emperor Longyan was delighted and said personally that if there were more Zuo Chongming, the world would be at peace."
Fang Qian's heart was shaken so hard that his eyes nearly popped out.
Even the emperor believed this kind of criticism? How could he repay Long Yan's joy?
At this moment, the man lifted up his skirt and stood up. With a solemn expression, he took out an imperial edict: "Inspector Zuo Chongming, come forward to receive the reward."
Hula~!
Although it was only Zuo Chongming who called out, everyone in the hall stood up at the same time and bowed their heads respectfully to the imperial edict, not daring to neglect for a moment.
Kneeling was not popular in the Wu Dynasty. Except for special circumstances, even when facing the emperor, the most solemn etiquette was to bow.
"..."
Fang Qian took a deep look at Zuo Chongming, his mood was extremely complicated.
Regarding the fact that he was rewarded and promoted, the emperor only approved the word "very good" on the official document, but he personally issued an imperial edict to Zuo Chongming...
The difference is astonishing!
"The ancestors of the people are above, Emperor Wu has issued an edict."
The man unfolded the imperial edict and recited loudly: "Inspector Zuo Chongming, who is only seventeen years old and has made outstanding achievements, is bestowed with the Longyuan Purple Thunder Pill, the Evil-Smashing Sword... and is especially given the Fish Dragon Robe..."
"hiss……"
When everyone heard the words "Specially given fish dragon robe", their faces suddenly changed and they couldn't help but cast envious eyes at Zuo Chongming.
Although the fish dragon robe is the lowest level of gifted clothes, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can possess. After all, another meaning of gifted clothes is that Jane is in the heart of the emperor.
Therefore, since ancient times, those who have been granted servitude have a higher official rank by default.
In other words, although Zuo Chongming was only a demon-suppressing envoy, he did not need to bow to him when he saw an envoy like Fang Qian.
"Fish Dragon Robe..."
Fang Qian had mixed feelings in his heart. The joy of being promoted had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Thank you Emperor Wu."
Zuo Zhongming recited it loudly and solemnly stepped forward to receive the imperial edict and... a spiritual ring.
There is no way, the emperor is too generous.
Not only were they given elixirs, clothes and weapons, but also some primeval stones, some silver, some brocade...
If they were laid out one by one, a few carriages would not be able to pull them away at all.
"Not bad."
The approval on the elegant man's face was undisguised: "Emperor Wu asked me to tell you that I hope you will make new achievements and set an example for the young people in the world."
Zuo Chongming gave a sonorous and powerful reply: "I will definitely live up to Emperor Wu's expectations in my humble position. I will wipe out Liansheng's rebel party as soon as possible and restore peace to the world..."
The man laughed loudly, clapped his hands and praised: "Okay, what a peaceful time. I'll wait and see."
"Thank you, sir."
Zuo Chongming bowed and excused himself, took his things and entered the banquet.
Coincidentally, his position is adjacent to Fang Gan, but further forward than Fang Gan...
When Fang Qian saw this scene, he twitched the corners of his mouth fiercely and showed a somewhat forced smile: "Master Zuo, congratulations on your promotion."
"Master Fang."
Zuo Chongming smiled and raised his glasses meaningfully: "We are happy together, we are happy together."
Fang Qian drank the wine in his glass and his voice was a little low: "This is your ultimate goal, right?"
"Unexpected." Zuo Chongming's answer was beyond his expectation.
Fang Gan shook his head: "I don't believe it."
"The accident I'm talking about refers to Emperor Wu and Ci Fu." Zuo Chongming narrowed his eyes and his tone was a bit complicated.
His original plan was indeed to take the position of Demon Suppressor, but he did not expect that this matter would reach the capital and reach the ears of the emperor.
Fang Qian opened his mouth and smiled bitterly: "In other words, other than that, it's not an accident... You can really do what ordinary people can't."
After all, this guy had taken the Anti-Blood and Violent Qi Pill. He never imagined that Zuo Chongming could break through the bottleneck.
And judging from the timing of the ‘breakthrough’, it was obvious that Zuo Chongming had already controlled it.
Simply incredible!
But no matter what, it's a done deal.
Fang Qian didn't have any grudges. In the final analysis, his skills were inferior to others, not to mention that he had also gained a lot of benefits.
But compared to Zuo Chongming, his benefits are nothing.
"well……"
Fang Qian lamented in his heart, forced himself to cheer up, and pretended to be free and easy: "I hope Master Zuo will take care of me in the future."
Zuo Chongming's smile remained the same: "It should, it should."
