Chapter 232 The Foster Father’s Opinion!
Yuezhou City, outside the Zhennan military camp.
After Jiang Che announced his identity, he has been waiting for the summons. He came alone this time. As for the other large groups of people, they were led by Qi Ningbing to the direction of Tiannan Pass.
Of course, it is not too far from here.
Because the hundreds of tribes in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Nanyue are eyeing covetously, the focus of the entire Yuezhou government is actually in the direction of Tiannan, and Li Chengguo is a frontier official. Not only is he a third-rank official, he is also the Zhennan General, and he is also named Zhennan Wuhou.
If we really talk about power, he is stronger than his father-in-law, the Beiling Hou.
Of course, the real strength and background are not just based on official rank. Although Li Chengguo is strong, he has no big power to support him, while the Qi family has been passed down for thousands of years.
If we really count, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages.
If Jiang Che wanted to take up the post of Grand Commander, he first needed to come here to receive the official seal and meet his real superior. Even if he had the support of the Qi family, he could not be arrogant.
"You are Jiang Che, follow me."
The gate of the Zhennan military camp slowly opened, and a middle-aged man in armor looked at Jiang Che, said something in a cold tone, and then turned and left, without any courtesy.
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes, did not say much, and followed him with a normal look.
On the way, Jiang Che looked at the endless Zhennan military camp, and couldn't help feeling a lot of solemnity in his heart. As the place where the elite of the Yuezhou military gathered, there were many strong people in the camp.
At least Jiang Che sensed a lot of powerful auras, and many of the soldiers here were also good, and there was almost no ordinary person. It can only be said that the Zhennan Army is worthy of being one of the elites of the court.
In comparison, the Tai'an Prefecture Wubei Army is almost no different from a grass-roots team.
After another round of communication, Jiang Che finally entered the real main tent of the central army. Below, several figures sat upright. When he entered the big tent, many eyes focused on him.
Some looked contemptuous, some were solemn, and their expressions were different.
And there was also a figure sitting in the main position of the big tent. He was wearing a Qilin brocade robe, a jade belt across his waist, a thin body, long hair tied in a bun, and a crown on his head. His specific age could not be seen, but he could be roughly considered middle-aged. There was a strong murderous aura lingering around him.
At the same time, a strong pressure also faintly dissipated from his body, and the atmosphere in the whole big tent quickly turned silent.
And his identity was naturally about to be revealed.
The court personally conferred the title of Zhennan Marquis, the third-rank Zhennan General, a frontier official, and a veteran on the battlefield. Li Chengguo!
"The humble official Jiang Che, pays homage to the Marquis!"
Jiang Che glanced over and bowed down, without any arrogance.
"You are Jiang Che, you are indeed a young hero." Li Chengguo looked at Jiang Che, sensed his aura, nodded slightly, and smiled lightly.
"Your Excellency is too kind, I am ashamed to accept it."
Li Chengguo smiled faintly, and the pressure around him slowly dissipated:
"Don't be shy, I have a good relationship with Qi Zhengnan, since you are his son-in-law, you are also my junior. Speaking of which, your position as General Wuwei was decided by me personally."
"I have heard Uncle Qi mention it, and I would like to thank you for your appreciation."
"Although you are young and inexperienced, you are highly qualified and strong, otherwise you would not be regarded as a treasure by Qi Zhengnan. I believe that you can definitely make a name for yourself in Tiannan."
Jiang Che smiled and nodded:
"I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Okay, today's business is over, you all go down first, I want to have a good chat with my nephew Jiang." After the greetings, Li Chengguo waved his hand to signal the generals in the tent to withdraw.
"I'll take my leave."
"I'll take my leave."
After a while, only Jiang Che and Li Chengguo were left in the tent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. However, this was Li Chengguo's home court after all, so he signaled Jiang Che not to be reserved and asked him to sit down and talk.
"Speaking of which, I have several daughters. After hearing your name before, I knew that you were a rare martial arts genius, and I wanted you to be my son-in-law.
Unfortunately, Qi Zhengnan got there first. These days, I've been sighing with regret. The genius from Yuezhou was snatched away by Yunzhou."
Li Chengguo shook his head with regret, seeming to be quite regretful.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your kindness."
Jiang Che clasped his fists and saluted, and could only look at each other with this attitude.
"I told you not to be reserved. What's the use of calling me Lord Marquis Lord? Just call me Lord Marquis Uncle. Although you can't be my son-in-law, I still value you very much."
Li Chengguo pretended to be slightly angry.
"Yes, uncle."
Since Li Chengguo said so, Jiang Che could only beat the snake with a stick and call him uncle, but he was still somewhat vigilant in his heart, after all, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
Li Chengguo was a frontier official, a third-rank official, and he was so warm to him, which made him a little uncomfortable. After all, he knew that the other party had intended to take him under his command.
But the Qi family got ahead of him. Not to mention being angry, but he shouldn't have such an attitude.
"I heard that you killed many people from the Dragon and Tiger Sect in the Xuanling Secret Realm. Is this true?" Li Chengguo suddenly asked, changing his tone.
"It is true. At the beginning..." Jiang Che simply recounted what happened in the secret realm.
"Hmph, the Dragon and Tiger Sect has become more and more rampant in recent years. It is also good to destroy their prestige. Don't be afraid. Even without the help of the Qi family, you are now a general under this marquis.
You are also backed by this marquis. If the Dragon and Tiger Sect dares to attack you, this marquis will definitely make them pay."
Li Chengguo snorted softly, seeming to be very dissatisfied with the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Sect.
Jiang Che looked dumbfounded, but still pretended to be grateful:
"Master Marquis has great love, and the younger generation will remember it in his heart."
"Tiannan Pass is the head of the most important town in Tiannan. It guards the main transportation routes and is watched by various forces. After you take office, you must clarify the situation as quickly as possible.
Also, don’t take it lightly and relax your vigilance when you take office to unify the capital of Tiannan Pass. Now the deputy governor of Tiannanguan is from the Gao family. Without you, it would have been corrected by now.
Now that you have taken his position, he will definitely be dissatisfied and may cause you some trouble, but you don't have to worry, your position was transferred by me.
If he is dissatisfied, as long as he does not kill him, he can be dealt with as he pleases, and I will be responsible for any consequences. "
As he spoke, Li Chengguo led the conversation to Tiannan Pass and introduced the complicated situation at Tiannan Pass, with the intention of supporting Jiang Che to mix with him.
"With these words from my uncle, I feel completely at ease. Uncle, don't worry. Since I have joined the Zhennan Army, I am a member of the Zhennan Army. If the Marquis gives me orders, I will definitely go all out."
Jiang Che immediately expressed his stance with a serious face.
Li Chengguo stroked his beard and nodded, seemingly satisfied with Jiang Che's attitude, and chuckled:
"It's a pity that you are not my adopted son, so Qi Zhengnan took the lead."
Listening to the hidden meaning of Li Chengguo's words, Jiang Che couldn't help but twitching his brows and quickly said:
"I have been wandering around for half my life. I only regret that I have never met my master. Now that I have met the Marquis, I am truly lucky. Now I have the opportunity to work under the Marquis. Although I am not an adopted son, I regard the Marquis as my elder."
"This is not what I meant, you are overthinking it." Li Chengguo waved his hand. Although he said this on the surface, he was still very happy with Jiang Che's attitude.
Later, he gave Jiang Che some pointers on many aspects of his practice, which were very useful to Jiang Che. When facing Li Chengguo, he became more and more respectful and grateful, but what he thought in his heart was a matter of benevolence and wisdom.
"This is your official document. Put it away and go to take office. Remember not to have any scruples. I have long wanted to clear things up, but I just don't have this opportunity.
If you have the ability, then try to do it, and I will bear the consequences for you. "
An hour later, Li Chengguo stopped chatting and handed Jiang Che all the official seals and documents prepared on the desk with an encouraging look.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
"Um?"
"Thank you uncle!"
"Hehehe, go ahead. I won't let you have dinner, so as not to delay your trip."
"Junior, take your leave."
Jiang Che collected his official seal and exited the tent with excitement and gratitude.
"Father, why are you so close to this son? Do you think you are placing too much importance on him? No matter what, he is still a member of the Qi family." After Jiang Che left, the middle-aged man who had welcomed him in before walked into the hall. Zhang, his face looked a little unsightly.
In his tone, he was even more dissatisfied with Jiang Che.
"What? You don't like this person?"
At this moment, Li Chengguo no longer had the warmth he had when facing Jiang Che before, and his expression was indifferent.
"My child just feels that this person has no qualifications and no merit. It is really inappropriate for him to sit in such an important position just because of his connections with the Qi family."
The middle-aged man whispered.
"Humph, my father can't see what you are thinking? It's just because Jiang Che stole your position that you are so cold. You, everything is written on your face, the city is too low."
Li Chengguo said calmly.
"The foster father's eyes are as bright as a torch, and the children know their sins."
Li Dongsheng looked ashamed and quickly confessed.
And just as Li Chengguo said, if Jiang Che hadn't suddenly come out, the position of the governor of Tiannan Pass would almost belong to him. The documents had been prepared, but the results had not yet been submitted to the court.
Jiang Che suddenly airborne. What made Li Dongsheng most uncomfortable was that his adoptive father Li Chengguo seemed to be quite supportive of this, so when he first met Jiang Che, he showed an expression of dislike.
"Don't worry, the seat at Tiannan Pass is still yours after all." Li Chengguo glanced at the other party.
"That Jiang Che"
"He? Haha. He is just a knife in his father's hand. If this son had not married the Qi family, I would have cultivated him. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong path."
Li Chengguo was indeed a little regretful. Based on his observations, Jiang Che was indeed a very rare martial arts genius, and he would have a good chance of entering the realm of the Grand Master of Shen Xiang in the future.
"Then why, foster father, did you show so much regard for this son just now?"
Li Dongsheng frowned slightly, seeming puzzled.
Li Chengguo leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes:
"Tiannan is too chaotic. The forces of the Gao family, Prince Ning's Mansion, and the Longhu Dao Sect are complicated. Originally, my father thought of using other methods to solve these problems, but unexpectedly, this son just came.
With the background of the Qi family, this son will definitely not be stable in the future. In this case, the father will give him some help and let him do a good job in order to clear the obstacles for his father.
When Jiang Che muddies the water, his father can easily take over. "
Li Dongsheng opened his mouth, seemingly awakened by Li Chengguo's words, and couldn't help but compliment:
"Best greetings, adoptive father!"
"Dongsheng, you are still young, don't worry. Tiannan is my territory, and you will have a day to show your ambitions. As for now, put all your little thoughts away for now.
Try to cooperate with Jiang Che as much as possible. Doesn’t he also have a grudge against the Longhu Taoist Sect? Hehe secretly supported him to fight against the Longhu Taoist Sect and the Gao family. I heard that what this boy was best at was exterminating families and confiscating their families.
I would like to see something. "
"My child understands, but if Jiang Che really achieves something, what will his adoptive father do to him?"
"Why do you want to deal with him? If he is really capable, I will only reuse him. The Qi family has a lot of background, and I also want to deal with the Qi family. There is no eternal friendship in this world, only eternal interests."
Outside the Zhennan military tent, Jiang Che, who originally had a warm face, suddenly turned indifferent at this moment. He narrowed his eyes and glanced back at the Zhennan military camp behind him, and immediately walked away.
In fact, he was almost able to figure it out at this moment. There must be a reason why Li Chengguo behaved so kindly and directly stated that he would be his backer, allowing him to do it freely.
There is no reason to attach importance to him. I can only say that he has value.
In addition to his own abilities, the most important thing about Jiang Che is his status as the son-in-law of the Qi family. He guessed that Li Chengguo might want to use this to make him become enemies with the forces in Tiannan, or make friends with Qi. Home.
The most important thing is that Li Chengguo is a bright card and cannot be avoided.
In addition to the long-standing feud between him and the Longhu Taoist Sect, he has usurped the position supported by the Gao family. The other party will definitely not let it go and will most likely oppose him or even break up with him.
But the problem is
Jiang Che will not let others take advantage of him.
In fact, the reason why Jiang Che transferred to Tiannan very calmly was not only because it was difficult to get help from the Qi family, but also because he wanted to use Tiannan's huge resources to improve his cultivation strength.
There are treasures everywhere in this place. Although many of them have owners, as long as they are snatched away, they belong to him.
And as long as the resource sacrifice is enough.
It’s really not certain who is using whom.
As for Li Chengguo's purpose, it was actually in line with Jiang Che's wishes. Although the Qi family was strong, it was still too far away from here. Li Chengguo's support could help him offset a lot of pressure.
What Jiang Che has to do now is to control Tiannan Pass in the shortest possible time and advance to the divine realm.
As long as he can enter the realm of Grand Master, Jiang Che will have the confidence to truly play at the card table.
Of course, the spirit transformation talisman given by Qi Zhengnan would also give him confidence, but that was his trump card, and Jiang Che was determined not to expose it until a critical moment.
Once the trump card is exposed, it is no longer a trump card.
Thinking of this, Jiang Che Yukong's speed became faster and faster, like a stream of light, cutting through the sky thousands of miles away.
