Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh solicitation
At this time, Chen Jingnan didn't know that his actions had completely angered Gu Cheng and made him murderous.
After they dispersed, he immediately took off Jingyesi's black armor and put on a pair of jet black night clothes.
What was strange was that after he put on his night clothes, the runes on it shone, making him completely blend into the night, and even his breath was obscured by it.
Chen Jingnan carefully walked around to the small door of Hou's Mansion, and knocked on the small door of Hou's Mansion rhythmically. After a while, someone took him in.
He thought that no one was aware of his whereabouts, but right behind him was an almost transparent ghost, watching his behavior and passing this information to the Wu Zang Taoist behind him.
After Chen Jingnan stepped into the Hou's mansion, he was led all the way to the hall. Among them were Guo Feng, who was recovering from his injuries, and a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious brocade robe. He was Guo Xing'an, the Marquis of Xinnan of this generation.
Seeing these two people, Chen Jingnan pulled off his hood and immediately asked: "Master Hou, is the evil cultivator who killed people wantonly in Ruyifang the one you protected?"
Guo Xing'an's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Chen Jingnan, what do you mean? Are you questioning me?"
Chen Jingnan's expression changed slightly, and he softened his tone and said, "Master Hou, I didn't mean it this way, but Gu Cheng, the new commander of the Eastern Territory, has found out about this matter and found out the head of your Xinnan Hou Mansion.
superior.
I didn't hesitate to fight against him at all costs, so I gave up the other party's idea of searching the Xinnanhou Mansion.
If that evil cultivator is really here with you, I advise you to send him out as soon as possible, or find a way to silence him.
Otherwise, if Gu Cheng wants to search the Xinnan Hou Mansion again, I can stop him once, but I can't stop him the second time."
A sneer suddenly appeared on Guo Xing'an's face: "Chen Jingnan, are you ordering me? Do you still remember who selected you from among the low-level Xuanjia guards to be the night watchman?
Without the support of the Nanhou Mansion, do you think you can become this night watchman on your own?
I believe that you are not qualified to take care of the affairs of the Xinnanhou Mansion. It is enough for you to remember one thing, that is, you are only there because of the Xinnanhou Mansion. If the Xinnanhou Mansion disappears, your job as a night watchman will be over.
!”
There was a vague anger flashing across Chen Jingnan's face, but he quickly hid it.
He has a close relationship with the Xinnanhou Mansion, and the interests of both parties are very deep, so when Gu Cheng wanted to move the Xinnanhou Mansion, he did not hesitate to oppose Gu Cheng even if he broke his face.
At this time, although he was angry that the other party did not take him seriously, he did not dare to get angry with Guo Xingan.
But then Guo Xing'an said again: "I know what you are worried about, but you don't have to worry too much. As long as you work well for my Xinnan Hou Mansion during this period, I might return it after the ancestor worship ceremony in Daqian."
I can guarantee you a position as the leader of the four domains."
Chen Jingnan was suddenly shocked: "Commander of the four regions? Can I be the commander of the four regions? Are any of the commanders of the four regions ready to be transferred?"
Guo Xing'an smiled half-heartedly and said: "Then Gu Cheng, with such little qualifications, can be the commander of the four domains, why can't you? He can only sit in this position because there are people behind him, but in doing so, he is also the condition for becoming the commander of the four domains.
He's a step lower, what are you worse than him? If he can do it, you can do it.
Although no one has been transferred to the Commander of the Four Domains at the moment, that may not be the case in the future. Your boss Gu Cheng will not be able to stay in this position for a few days. His foundation is not stable, but he thinks he has achieved such a high position. I really think that
Is the capital so easy to mess with?"
When Chen Jingnan heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis! Don't worry, Lord Marquis, as long as I am here, I will definitely prevent Gu Cheng from being arrogant in the Marquis of Xinnan's Mansion!"
Guo Xing'an used this method very skillfully to give a sweet date a slap in the face.
After Chen Jingnan left, Guo Feng asked: "Dad, are you really prepared to make Chen Jingnan the commander of the Eastern Territory?"
Guo Xing'an sneered and said: "You just lied to him. Do you think the position of commander of the Eastern Region is really that easy to sit in? Then Gu Cheng is really not an ordinary person. He actually managed to get two commanders to sit in this position.
However, it is true that he is not secure in this position. The ancestor worship ceremony is coming soon. If something goes wrong at this time, do you think the upper echelons of Jingyesi will ignore it?
By the way, go warn that guy again and let him get out of here as soon as he recovers from his injuries. He failed to do what he came to tell us and almost got us involved. He deserves to be damned!"
When Chen Jingnan entered the Xinnan Hou Mansion, Gu Cheng directly called Liu Yuanping and Yang Naigong over.
These two people saw Gu Cheng calling them over, and they roughly knew what Gu Cheng wanted to do.
Liu Yuanping smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, don't blame me for talking too much. The capital is like this. There are too many people in charge, so we naturally have more to think about, so we are subject to control in everything we do.
That guy Chen Jingnan is like a mad dog and is actually ready to file a complaint. It's not worth getting angry with him at this time."
Gu Cheng said calmly: "I came to you not to say this, but to ask you two what you think about the future. Are you really prepared to spend the rest of your life as a night watchman, and then just sit back and wait?"
Retire or be squeezed out of your position by others?"
Liu Yuanping and Yang Naigong looked at each other, wondering why Gu Cheng said such things to them.
Liu Yuanping said cautiously: "Sir, to put it nicely, we are the night watchmen of Jingyesi, but to put it badly, we actually got to where we are now by virtue of our seniority.
Our potential and talents are limited, and the realm of a master is beyond our imagination, so even if we don’t wait to retire, there is no way ahead.”
Gu Cheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to say too much, so I won't talk in circles with you two. You two were the first night watchmen to show your kindness to me. No matter what the reason is, this is all.
It's an opportunity you got yourself, so I'll give you a chance today.
If you two believe in me, I can guarantee your future!"
Among the twelve night watchmen in the Eastern Region, these two are actually at the bottom when it comes to strength and ability.
But precisely because they were the first night watchmen to approach Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng could only choose to recruit them.
Of course, strength is not that important to the current Gu Cheng. All he wants is to have truly obedient people under his command. Only Tie Tianying and Meng Hantang can help him, which is not enough for the current Gu Cheng.
of.
Liu Yuanping and Yang Naigong looked at each other, their expressions full of hesitation and uncertainty.
They were willing to cooperate with Gu Cheng before just because they didn't want to offend a powerful and promising leader like Gu Cheng.
But not wanting to offend and being completely loyal to the other party and serving him are two different things. The latter has to completely hand over his future, wealth and life to the other party.
Liu Yuanping was still hesitant, but Yang Naigong suddenly said: "I am willing to be dispatched by you!"
Liu Yuanping glanced at Yang Naigong strangely. He seemed to have never expected that his old friend, who had always been extremely lazy and seemed to have completely given up on his future and was waiting for retirement, would actually choose to accept the recruitment of a young boss whom he had only met a few times.
.
Even Gu Cheng was a little surprised. He still had many useless words, but the other party had already agreed.
Yang Naigong smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, I am forty-seven years old this year. I joined the army in Western Xinjiang at the age of eighteen, and became a corps commander at the age of twenty. The army fell into a ghostland at the age of twenty-two. I am the only one who survived. After being rescued by Jingyesi,
It was a natural progression to join Yasushi.
In three years, I went from Xuanjia Guard to Night Watch. In order to achieve further breakthroughs, I passed the selection process at the capital headquarters and came to the capital from Nanjiu County.
Back then, I had the option of taking a pension from the army and becoming a rich man in peace. I chose Yasushi just because I didn't want to have to sit back and watch my colleague Bao Ze die without being able to do anything when facing a demon again.
As a result, after twenty-two years, I have now become a night watchman, but I can only calmly but numbly deal with the filthy parents of the princes and nobles. I am constrained in doing things, with no way forward and no way back!
I once wanted to be transferred out of the capital, but I didn't have the ability or the connections. Even if I wanted to leave the capital, I couldn't.
So I just ask you, sir, if you can secure your position as the commander of the Eastern Territory, I just ask you to help me use my connections to transfer me out of the capital. Even if I go back to a war-torn place like the Southern Barbarians and serve as the commander-in-chief and protect one side, it will be fine.
It is better than continuing to be so numb in the capital."
Liu Yuanping looked at Yang Naigong in surprise. He never thought that his good friend would hide so many things in his heart for so many years.
The position of night watchman in the capital was something that those outside could not even imagine. As a result, Yang Naigong would rather choose to be deployed as a general than receive the treatment from the capital headquarters.
Liu Yuanping struggled for a moment in his heart, then cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to let you do what you want!
Lao Yang thinks more than me, and all I want is to keep my current position."
The people at the Jingyesi Headquarters in the capital are not the same, except for some who are promoted and some who die in battle, but there are also some who are pushed down.
Countless Xuanjia guards are transferred to the capital every year. Some of them enter the Jingyesi of the Four Regions, while others enter other departments of the Jingyesi headquarters.
Even if your ability has not declined, once someone performs well, your status is actually in jeopardy.
Liu Yuanping's low-key style, he doesn't want to offend anyone and wants to please everyone. In fact, it is also a manifestation of his lack of self-confidence. He is afraid that if he doesn't do well in any area, he will be criticized by others.
Gu Cheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you two, I can give you whatever you ask for. But now I only need to know one thing, that is, what is the relationship between Chen Jingnan and Xinnan Houfu? His superiors
