When Jiang Beiran officially took the top spot in Sheng Kingdom, what was originally an insignificant meeting turned into a formal meeting to discuss how Sheng Kingdom should change in the next stage.
After the meeting started, Ji Qinglin asked one question after another, as if to test how much Jiang Beiran knew about Shengguo.
But these questions were too simple for Jiang Beiran. Not only did he answer them very clearly, he even gave Ji Qinglin supplementary explanations and a certain degree of science popularization.
"As expected of the good emperor Master said, he is indeed capable, so how do you think Sheng Kingdom will develop in the next stage?"
"Cultivate health and rest." Jiang Beiran replied without any hesitation, "It's still the same sentence, Sheng country is a weak country, and there are too many things that lack, what we need to do now is to lay a solid foundation first, so Only when the opportunity comes, can we seize it.”
"Opportunity?" Ji Qinglin looked up at Jiang Beiran: "What kind of opportunity?"
"Naturally, it is an opportunity to compete in the Central Plains."
"Chasing the deer... the Central Plains?" Ji Qinglin looked at Jiang Beiran with somewhat complicated eyes, "Want to reach the sky in one step? Are you not afraid of talking shit?"
"Anything is possible, provided that all preparations are made for that opportunity." After speaking, Jiang Beiran looked around at all the leaders present, "In short, from today onwards, all internal fighting is prohibited, and all unstable factors must be eliminated. It nips in the bud."
"As for the division of land and the focus of development, I will make a detailed plan when I go back. At that time, we will still hold a meeting to make the final decision."
"Okay." Tai Yingzong was the first to respond, "I am very much looking forward to His Holiness' plan."
Others also nodded in agreement, and no one expressed any dissatisfaction.
In fact, for cultivators, cultivation is their main job. As for the competition for territory and the development of the country, they can never think for themselves if they don’t have to think for themselves.
Take the people in this conference hall as an example, the two representatives of Liangzhou are not counted, and two of the remaining four giants sent representatives.
This shows that cultivation is more important than the country.
Only Yin Jianghong, who has never changed his original intention and devoted himself to serving the people, will give up the time of cultivation to consider for the country and the people.
As for Ji Qinglin...
Although Jiang Beiran didn't know him very well, but from the several conversations he had with Yin Jianghong, it was clear that he also had the determination to change the Kingdom of Cheng. It was only because he chose a different path from Yin Jianghong that he went to Lanzhou to establish his own.
But even if the two masters and apprentices care about the common people, but for them, cultivation is just as important.
Therefore, for people like Jiang Beiran who can help them completely share the management of the country, these suzerains and leaders are very happy to see them.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Jiang Beiran said, "That's the end of today's meeting, Hongfei, please stay here." After speaking, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands at the other leaders and said, "The other leaders We will meet later.”
Everyone couldn't help but glance at Huo Hongfei first after listening.
Since the last attack on Liang State, this Huo Hongfei's ability to deploy secretly surprised them, and later he captured the 136 members of the Tan family by means of thunder, and showed the leaders of Ling Sheng State. Everyone was amazed by the profound cultivation.
Even later, when annexing Liang's territory, Huo Hongfei played a much higher role than Yan Siyuan, a local tycoon.
Many areas that were originally prepared to completely resist, immediately surrendered when they saw Huo Hongfei approaching.
It can be said that a large number of unnecessary killings have been reduced.
For such a strong man with both means and strength, even the Xuanzongs of Sheng Kingdom had to say "great", and even secretly feared him.
After all, with his influence in Liang Guo, if one day he suddenly raised his arms, he might be able to pull up a very large-scale new force in an instant.
But he never expected that a hero like Huo Hongfei would be Jiang Beiran's subordinate.
It was this kind of unexpectedness that made them speechless for a long time.
Taking a deep breath, Ji Qinglin took a deep look at Jiang Beiran, and said, "I'm waiting for you to give me more surprises, so let's go first."
After speaking, he left the meeting room without looking back.
Tai Yingzong bowed his hands towards Jiangbei, then turned and left gracefully.
Looking at the two leaving backs, Yin Jianghong breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Actually, ever since you told me about your background, I thought there would be such a day, but I did I didn't expect this day to come back so soon, let me call you Beiran for the last time, I am very glad to have a period of cooperation with you."
Arching his hands towards Yin Jianghong, Jiang Beiran said seriously: "The younger generation has also learned a lot from the leader Yin, and I believe it will still be possible in the future."
"Hahaha." Yin Jianghong laughed three times and cupped his hands towards Jiang Beiran, "Then I will take my leave first, Your Honor."
Seeing Yin Jianghong leaving heroically, Jiang Beiran was also quite emotional.
From the battle of wits and courage when facing him, the superior, to the mutual appreciation and cooperation after the showdown, and now I have become his "immediate boss".
Along the way, how can people not feel that things are right and people are wrong.
After feeling emotional for a while, Jiang Beiran found that Yan Siyuan was standing not far away looking at him.
Smiling slightly, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands at him and said, "Sect Master Yan's vote just now is very important to me, thank you."
"Your Majesty, you are being polite." Yan Siyuan bowed to Jiang Bei after finishing speaking, "Your Majesty has saved my life, so there is no need to worry about trivial matters."
Yan Siyuan's words expressed two meanings. One was that he already knew that Jiang Beiran was the master his apprentice had mentioned, and the other was that he knew why he survived.
"Then I hope that Yan Zongzhu will still support me like today."
"must."
After Yan Siyuan finished speaking, he bowed to Jiang Beiran, "I stayed here just to thank the Venerable in person, now that my wish is over, I will go back first, if the Venerable can use my place in the future, I will definitely do my best , Farewell."
"Go slowly."
'It really looks like an old fox. Jiang Beiran gave an evaluation in his heart.
But it's not a big problem, it was the system's decision to keep Yan Siyuan in the first place, which means that no matter how cunning and cunning he is, he can't slip into his head.
After Yan Siyuan left, there were only three people left in the meeting room, so Jiang Beiran turned his attention to Meng Sipei.
Seeing that Meng Sipei kept his head down for a long time, Jiang Bei said in a low voice.
"I should have just told Huo Hongfei to stay. Did Hierarch Meng hear something wrong?"
"No!" Meng Sipei waved his hand, "I... I just want to ask His Holiness something."
"ask."
"That day... that day..."
"it's me."
When Meng Sipei was hesitating whether to ask or not, Jiang Beiran gave her an answer directly.
After all, there is nothing to hide, since he must have recognized it anyway.
Meng Sipei was a little excited after hearing Jiang Beiran's affirmative answer, bowed directly to Jiang Beiran and said, "Thank you for your help that day, otherwise I would not be able to stand here."
"You're welcome, is there anything else?"
The conversation between the two fell into Huo Hongfei's eyes, which made him a little strange, because it was not like a conversation between the leader and his subordinates, but more like the first time that Sect Master Meng met Brother Jiang face to face.
But Huo Hongfei didn't think too deeply, after all, in his eyes, Brother Jiang's image towered into the sky, and he couldn't figure it out at all.
On the other side, Meng Sipei who was asked a question didn't know where to put his nervous hands.
It stands to reason that she has already thanked the expert for saving her life, and naturally her wish has been fulfilled, but her heart is still throbbing, with an indescribable feeling.
In the next second, the masked senior's face flashed in her mind.
'you! Don't get me wrong! I'm just a little confused, after all, it was too sudden, I definitely didn't mean that, really! '
Looking at Meng Sipei's expressionless face, Jiang Beiran said, "Since you're fine, let's step back."
Meng Sipei, who was in a state of confusion, knew that he would not be able to say anything if he stayed any longer, so he said "yes" and left the meeting room.
After closing the door, Meng Sipei let out a long breath, and at the same time was a little annoyed at how useless she was.
Just thinking about whether to wait here for a while, Meng Sipei suddenly found a dark girl standing by the door.
Seeing Meng Sipei looking at her, Xia Lingdang hurriedly saluted, "Hello."
Sensing that the girl is not like a court lady, Meng Sipei asked, "Who brought you here?"
"My master brought me here."
"Master's house?" Meng Sipei glanced at the closed door of the conference hall, thinking that there were only two people inside.
'Could it be...'
Meng Sipei was just about to ask if the girl's master is Jiang Beiran, but the words turned into: "What kind of person is your master?"
Xia Lingdang hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "Master is a very, very good person."
Meng Sipei laughed when she heard that, for some reason, she was also very happy when she heard the girl praise Gao Ren as a very, very good person.
"Can you tell me how you met?"
"Um… "
Seeing Xia Lingdang's hesitation, Meng Sipei squatted down and put his index finger on his mouth and whispered, "Just talk to me alone, I promise not to say anything."
"Then... that's fine." Nodding, Xia Lingdang began to describe the plague that swept through her village.
…
In the conference hall, after everyone left, Huo Hongfei knelt down on one knee in front of Jiang Beiran and saluted, "My lord, what orders do you have?"
"Get up, don't kneel down."
"Yes!" Huo Hongfei agreed and stood up.
"How is the handover in Liangzhou going?"
"Returning to the Lord, except for some diehards, Liangzhou has roughly been merged into Sheng Kingdom."
"The bigots? You mean the ones you can't handle?"
"Yes! The subordinates are incompetent. Those diehards are used to being free and loose. They would rather die than be controlled by others, so..."
"It's okay." Jiang Beiran waved his hand, "It's troublesome for such a person to come, just deal with it later."
"Yes!"
"So now in Liangzhou, there is nothing that you must do, right?"
"Yes, all the forces that my subordinates can persuade have already surrendered to Sheng Kingdom."
"That's good, do something for me."
"My lord, please command!"
"I'm looking for a treasure called Emperor Gu. Someone once found clues to it in Zeng Guo's black market. I need you to run for me and find all the clues related to Emperor Gu."
Since Lin Shiyun was unable to bring any further news about Emperor Gu, Jiang Beiran didn't intend to continue to sit on the Diaoyutai and wait for the news leisurely. It's a pity that several of his younger brothers are not yet qualified to go to Zeng Guo to investigate Ability.
The only ones who are capable are the local residents of Zeng Guo.
But the residents don't seem to have much talent in the investigation, because there is still no further news about the Emperor Gu.
This made Jiang Beiran feel a little bit pained.
Zeng Guo's national power ranks first among the six countries in the Central Plains, which is already ridiculously strong, and the black market must be even more mixed.
Jiang Beiran used his feet to think about this kind of place, knowing that the system options would jump around if he went there, and it was impossible to investigate with peace of mind.
Now that Huo Hongfei has entered the Xuanzong realm, although this realm is nothing in the Six Kingdoms, at least he has a certain ability to protect himself.
Moreover, Huo Hongfei seemed to be the kind of person with extremely strong ability. When the time comes, let the residents, the locals, assist him, and the probability of finding the Emperor Gu will definitely be greatly increased.
"Yes! This subordinate takes orders."
Although Huo Hongfei had never heard of Emperor Gu, he had never been to Zeng Guo.
But he knew that his current life belonged to the Lord, so for the sake of the Lord, no matter how difficult and dangerous it was, he would not frown.
"Well, then hurry up and do it. If you encounter any troubles, just let me know with a kite."
"Yes!" Huo Hongfei cupped his hands towards Jiangbei.
Nodding, Jiang Beiran said, "Go back."
But Huo Hongfei didn't turn around to leave after hearing this, but kept bowing and cupping his hands and said: "Master, I still have a merciless request from my subordinates."
"Say."
"Thanks to your help, my Huo family can finally see the light again. I hope you can come to our house to have a simple meal and express your gratitude as a token of gratitude."
[Option 1: Decline the invitation. Completion Reward: Purple Firmament Sacred Code (Earth-level Low-Rank)]
[Option 2: Accept it with pleasure. Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'Um? '
The moment he saw the options, Jiang Beiran knew that this meal was not easy, and something must happen anyway.
After choosing the second, Jiang Beiran nodded and said, "Since Hongfei warmly invites you, I have no reason to refuse."
[Optional task completed, reward: insight +1]
"Thank you Lord for your face, then let's go now, just in time for lunch."
"Okay, lead the way."
While talking, the two opened the door and walked out of the meeting room, and met Meng Sipei who was wiping tears.
'What's wrong with this silly girl? '
