Tie Tianying told Gu Cheng in detail the general strength of the Eastern Territory Jingyesi and the entire Four Territory Jingyesi. After speaking, Gu Cheng even felt that he, the commander of the Eastern Territory, was really reluctant. If it weren't for the Four Territory Jingyesi, The prince and Fang Henshui tried their best, but he was almost not even qualified to be nominated.
There are forty-nine cities in the Daqian. Except for the central city where the headquarters of the Imperial City Jingyesi is located, each of the other four domain commanders is in charge of twelve cities.
Although the leader of each city is a night watchman, his level of strength has reached the sixth level. Some are even at the peak of the sixth level. Their qualifications and level are higher than Gu Cheng, so some people are dissatisfied. is normal.
And not counting Gu Cheng, what was the strength of the previous four-domain commander? Two grandmasters, two half-step grandmasters. Although the two half-step grandmasters have not officially entered the fifth-level realm, they have both killed grandmasters. Record, there is no breakthrough at this time, I am just looking for a suitable opportunity.
Before, Dongyu Jingyesi was the strongest, but now that Gu Cheng was replaced, the leader became the weakest, which inevitably made them curse in their hearts.
Tie Tianying drank a glass of wine and said: "Actually, it's normal for them to have criticisms and opinions. People at the Jingyesi headquarters in the capital look down on the Xuanjia Guards from outside. This is already normal.
Mr. Gu, I have heard about your strength and achievements. After taking over the position of commander of the Eastern Territory, as long as you proceed step by step, there should be no problem in controlling the Eastern Territory Jingyesi.
When Meng Hantang and I were first promoted to night watchmen, we were looked down upon and ostracized by some people, but no one would do that now.
But the composition of the entire Eastern Territory Jingyesi Division is still a bit complicated. The Eastern Territory was the strongest before, and the power in the hands of these subordinate night watchmen is not weak. They have some relationships with various forces, so they are more difficult to manage."
Gu Cheng frowned and said, "Didn't the previous commander of the Eastern Region take care of these things?"
Tie Tianying smiled bitterly and said: "You don't need to worry about it. It's precisely because the previous commander of the Eastern Territory was so powerful that he didn't care about these things. As long as he speaks, the following night watchmen must obey his orders regardless of their relationship. In fact, the more connections they have, the more power the previous generation of Eastern Territory commanders can utilize."
Gu Cheng also smiled bitterly and shook his head. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was a matter of strength.
Gu Chengruo also has the strength of a master level. As long as he takes office, he doesn't have to care about the people below him. Who dares to be unconvinced? He has a hundred ways to punish them. No matter where he is, the word strength can be said to be the most important. important.
After a few more pleasantries with Tie Tianying and Meng Hantang, Gu Cheng made an appointment to officially take office tomorrow.
Twelve squares in the east of the capital city, the headquarters of the Eastern Region Jingyesi is located in Changdefang, the center of these twelve squares.
The scale of the construction of Jingyesi in the Eastern Region is not too large, but it is just a bit larger than the Jingyesi in the ordinary state capital.
According to what Tie Tianying said before, there are twelve night watchmen in the Eastern Territory Jingyesi Division, and the remaining Xuanjia Guards total about three hundred people, with an average of more than twenty Xuanjia Guards under each person.
This number may be a bit low compared to other large state capitals in the outside world, but this is the capital city.
In other state capitals, there are nine and eight levels of Xuanjia Guards, but here in the capital, only those who have reached the seventh level of cultivation, and even must be an elite among the night watchmen of the same level, are qualified to come to the capital to serve as an ordinary Xuanjia Guard. , so this force is definitely not weak anymore.
There are even some Xuanjia Guards who have reached the early stage of the sixth rank, but due to their own qualifications and merits, they cannot go further. The sixth rank is still serving as the Xuanjia Guards.
At this time, in the lobby of Dongyu Jingyesi, two rows of seats were lined up. Everyone was sitting upright, staring intently, waiting for Gu Cheng's arrival.
These guys who came from Jingyesi in the capital are all human beings. Not only are their strength sufficient, their brains are also sufficient.
Before he actually met Gu Cheng, he would not start chattering like the night watchmen in Nieyang Mansion to leave others talking.
Even though they may be a little dissatisfied and dissatisfied with Gu Cheng, or have other plans, they won't show it when they don't see anyone.
After a while, Gu Cheng, wearing a suit of black armor, walked out of the inner hall.
His black armor is different from that of the normal night patrol black armor guards. Although the whole body is also black, some primary defensive formations are engraved on it, mainly to defend against some secret techniques of the left.
Of course, the thing is not of much use, it can only serve as a warning.
Also, the listening pattern on the Xuanjia is made of gold thread, and is outlined in the shape of a formation pattern.
This kind of mysterious armor is generally only qualified to be worn by the governors of various places, the commanders of the four regions of the capital, and some other important departments.
"See my lord!"
Everyone stood up and bowed to Gu Cheng. At least the etiquette was impeccable.
However, the moment they saw Gu Cheng, the people present had different thoughts, and many had complicated expressions on their faces.
Almost all the night watchmen in the four regions of the capital came up from below, so like Tie Tianying and Meng Hantang, they all worked hard to be transferred into the capital. It took them no idea how long it took them to become night watchmen.
on the position.
In the end, Gu Cheng was lucky. He rose to the top and became the commander of the Eastern Territory at such a young age. Why?
Although they all knew that even without Gu Cheng, they would not be able to sit in this position, but at this time, it would be fine if a grandmaster or an old man like Jingyesi who was a half-step master came, but it happened to be Gu Cheng.
They were only in the early stage of the sixth grade, which made them secretly criticize this matter.
Gu Cheng waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please sit down, no need to be polite.
As for me, I have just arrived and have just taken over the position of commander of the Eastern Territory. In terms of seniority, all of you are actually my seniors. I hope you will support me in the future."
Everyone present said nothing, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Gu Cheng didn't care at all, he continued: "The cities under the control of Jingyesi in the East Region are relatively peaceful, and I don't want to do anything more.
However, the ancestor worship ceremony is about to begin recently, and there are many outsiders coming and going in the capital, so there is no guarantee that there will not be any accidents.
So I have an idea. The night watchmen of our Eastern Region Twelve Branches will join forces to conduct a large-scale investigation to see if there are any suspicious people in our Eastern Region Twelve Branches. Do you have any opinions?"
As soon as these words came out, a man in his thirties with a majestic figure immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "I feel something is wrong!"
Gu Cheng's eyes suddenly narrowed and he said calmly: "Which city's night watchman are you from? Why do you think it's inappropriate?"
The man met Gu Cheng's gaze and said, "My subordinate, Jing'anfang night watchman Chen Jingnan.
Your Excellency's idea is good, but Your Excellency, you have never been in charge of affairs in the capital, and you don't know the complexity of the capital. Once a large-scale investigation begins, there will definitely be chaos and panic in the entire Twelve Squares.
Mr. Xiao, the previous commander of the Eastern Territory, said that it is Jingyesi's responsibility to stay on guard and not move. As long as we can ensure the peace of one party, it is my duty, Jingyesi, rather than me, Jingyesi, taking the initiative to cause trouble."
Looking at Chen Jingnan, Gu Cheng's eyes showed a strange color.
Although Gu Cheng was mentally prepared yesterday, these night watchmen really didn't take him seriously.
Logically speaking, Gu Cheng should have made some big moves as the new official took office, but he did not choose to do so.
If you act recklessly without waiting to find out the situation, it will be self-defeating if the fire burns you.
So Gu Cheng didn't plan to light three fires. He just planned to throw stones and ask for directions to see the attitude of these night watchmen.
His proposal to conduct a large-scale investigation was actually not a big deal, even if the people below him were perfunctory, but Chen Jingnan immediately rejected his proposal, without saving any face for the new commander.
.
And even though this guy has thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks like a standard martial artist, but his thoughts are very sinister.
He deliberately brought out the previous commander, Mr. Xiao, just to embarrass Gu Cheng.
If Gu Cheng felt resentful because of this and refuted the other party's words, then he would definitely offend the former commander who he had never met before and the current governor.
And although Mr. Xiao has left, he has stayed in the position of commander of the Eastern Territory for several years and is a master-level existence. How could it be possible that his confidants are not present? What did Gu Cheng say to anger Mr. Xiao?
If so, they will be the first to be offended.
Unexpectedly, the first step of asking for directions would be to break a hard nut. The position of commander of the Eastern Territory is really difficult to achieve.
Gu Cheng turned his gaze to the others, smiled and said, "Where are you guys? You don't think it's appropriate either?"
Everyone present was silent for a moment. Tie Tianying and Meng Hantang did not speak. Gu Cheng asked them not to express any opinions.
But not counting them, most of the people present laughed and suggested in a casual tone that Gu Cheng should just maintain the status quo and not make any big moves.
A smile appeared on Gu Cheng's face and he said: "What you all said makes sense. Mr. Xiao is a senior, and his experience is worth learning from. Well, that's it for today, and you can leave."
After saying that, Gu Cheng turned around and left. He was so quick and without any nonsense, but it made everyone present feel a little uncomfortable.
After leaving the lobby, someone came up to Chen Jingnan and said, "Old Chen, you have a fierce temper. Are you going to make it impossible for the new commander to step down on his first day in office?"
Then Chen Jingnan said calmly: "It was he who prevented himself from getting off the stage in the first place. He did these tricks as soon as he took office. Do you really think we have nothing to do?"
The man also shook his head and said: "You are young and energetic, so you have to show your presence no matter what, but in the end, didn't you, Old Chen, have nothing to say?"
At this time, Chen Jingnan suddenly frowned and said, "Actually, I hope he gets angry and reprimands me on the spot."
The man was stunned, "What's wrong with this? They didn't scold you, but you felt uncomfortable?"
Chen Jingnan looked in the direction of Jingyesi's lobby and said calmly: "You also mentioned that young and energetic man. I even refuted him in public, but his expression remained unchanged. I didn't even feel the slightest anger in him.
Do you think this is normal?
Either this person is really weak, or he has a deep mind, do you think he is the former or the latter?"
