"So, do you agree or not?" Lu Bei asked anxiously.
"I neither agreed nor refused, but your appointment letter is here with me." Zhu Qilan frowned.
Speaking of this letter of appointment, it has a special connection with Lu Bei.
The Grand Commander and the Commander are standard superiors and subordinates, just like the steward who assists the Grand Steward. One person is too weak to handle the work. Even if the Grand Commander has extraordinary abilities, he cannot handle the work alone, and needs a backbone force to share the pressure.
Zhu Qilan is an exception. He is a workaholic who stays out all night, has no social life and works all year round. Since he took over the position of commander-in-chief, he has either been practicing or killing people with a knife. The position of commander has been vacant.
It was not until she had reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and was stuck in a bottleneck and unable to break through that she decided to find a lackey with outstanding abilities so that she could devote all her strength to the Refinement Void Realm.
She was attracted by Lu Bei's lackey, so she submitted her application and received the appointment letter after returning from the capital.
"Where is my appointment letter?"
Lu Bei looked closely and saw Zhu Qilan practicing in a quiet room, with no makeup on and simple clothes. There were obvious places where he could hide things.
Yes, this cafeteria!
"In the study."
"I'll do it right away. Hurry up."
…
The familiar study room. After Lu Bei took away a batch of skill books, the inventory was quickly replenished. The sight of the room was so full that he drooled.
The most urgent task is to get the seal to become the leader of Huangji Sect, and the skill book will be discussed later.
Zhu Qilan pulled out a document and spread the appointment letter in front of Lu Bei, warning him, "Lu Bei, you are a Qingwei of Xuanyin Division. This appointment letter may be used to alienate people. Are you sure you want to accept it?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I got promoted and am now a Purple Guard."
Lu Bei replied casually, and then asked, "Who will be my superior after I take over?"
"I."
"That's fine. From now on, all the credit and blame will belong to you. Put your stamp on it!"
"… "
Zhu Qilan said nothing, frowned and looked at Lu Bei, wondering what the dead man was planning.
First, she was sure that the Huangji Sect must have known that Lu Bei was a member of the Xuanyin Division. Secondly, based on her understanding of Lu Bei's cunningness, she was sure that the motive behind this appointment letter was not pure.
Knowing it is a trap, why are you so eager to step into it
Zhu Qilan lacked reliable intelligence, mainly from Hu Er, and fell into a misunderstanding, thinking that the appointment letter was a trap.
In fact, this appointment letter was not aimed at Lu Bei, but purely to disgust Hu Er.
When they were in the secret realm of Four Gods Lake, Zhu Yi recorded the battle and sold the information to the Huangji Sect's Council of Elders. After some discussion, the elders immediately sent people to look for Zhu Qilan and the man named Lu who was dressed as a woman.
After searching in vain in the secret realm and Changming Prefecture, he finally met Zhu Qilan in the capital, granted him the title of elder, and won over her gigolo.
That's how it was originally.
But because Zhu Yi sold information for the second time, Zhu Qiyu ordered Yu Tao to thoroughly investigate the thief named Lu. The Xuanyin Division was in a mess, and the undercover agent of the Huangji Sect also started to move.
The truth about Lu Bei's identity was revealed, and the files showed that his code name in Xuanyin Division was 'Fox Four'.
This code name is very interesting, reminding Huangji Zong of the frustration of being suppressed by two women, so this letter of appointment was issued.
The elders were not clear about the specific relationship between Fox Four and Fox Two, but the fact that they were either close relatives or disciples was enough.
Things have changed. No matter how arrogant and domineering you were in the past, your descendants are still working like slaves in the Huangji Sect!
Obviously, the Council of Elders had a deep misunderstanding of Hu Er. Hu Er did not see the role of being worked like a slave. She only saw that Huangji Sect gave money to their godson every month.
Zhu Qilan and Lu Bei were not clear about these things, and they couldn't figure out the purpose of the appointment letter.
He is a more practical person. If he can't figure something out, he won't think about it. The right thing to do is to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune from him.
Lu Bei took out the seal of the commander-in-chief and stamped it with a snap. He accepted his fate, then pointed to the blank space and handed the brush to Zhu Qilan.
"Commander-in-chief, don't just stand there, sign it now!"
Zhu Qilan looked at Lu Bei deeply and signed his name: "I have reminded you of everything I should have reminded you of. If there is anything in the future..."
“Hehehehe—”
Zhu Qilan was interrupted by a strange laugh. Lu Bei raised his hand and wiped his face to correct his deformed features. He said seriously, "I'm not afraid. With you protecting me, who dares to do anything to me?"
"… "
Zhu Qilan's eyelids twitched and he had a bad feeling.
"By the way, Commander-in-Chief, as the commander of the Huangji Sect, what is my specific job? Which area am I responsible for? How many soldiers do I have under my command?" Lu Bei asked.
Based on his understanding of the Huangji Sect, to make an analogy, the managers and chief managers are comparable to the neighborhood committee + local police officers. As long as it is related to cultivating immortals, they can take care of all the messes.
The commander and the grand commander lead an army independently. They are an enhanced version of the public security brigade, a special force in the world of immortal cultivation, dedicated to eradicating the immortal cultivation sects that violate the law and discipline. The demon cultivators in the country have always been the primary target.
At first glance, there is some overlap with the Xuanyinsi, but power is like this, where would the checks and balances come from without overlap
Zhu Qilan briefly described the situation and gave Lu Bei a general introduction. When he talked about the area he was responsible for, he took out a map of the three states.
Yizhou, Linzhou, and Ningzhou.
These three states were under the jurisdiction of Zhu Qilan. Generally speaking, she only stayed in Yizhou and Linzhou, and rarely went to the relatively peaceful Ningzhou.
Fearing that Lu Bei would bring trouble to her, she raised her hand and pointed at Ningzhou, saying, "You are originally from Ningzhou, so this place belongs to you from now on."
"How many soldiers are there?"
"As the commander, you can lead 500 soldiers, but Ningzhou doesn't need so many. I'll give you 30 death warriors, and you can figure out the rest yourself."
"Only thirty..."
Lu Bei was quite dissatisfied. He led 500 soldiers, but the actual number was 30, which meant that he could earn 470 heads of soldiers for nothing, which was a good thing.
Recruiting players to join the army, using the power in your hands to subcontract tasks, and earning experience without doing anything is the best of all good things.
The problem is that the group of leeks from Jiuzhu Mountain have just left the sweatshop and have a serious lack of combat experience. In addition, the average foundation building level per person is 20, so it is difficult to pick out a top-notch person even if you pick a general among the dwarfs.
"Cousin, we are not only relatives, but we have also been through life and death together. Now I am begging for food under your hand. You and I have an additional superior-subordinate relationship. Can't you give me an extra 300?"
Lu Bei said pitifully, "Think about it again. I have to serve you for an hour every day. If there are not enough people, I will be overwhelmed with tasks and it will be difficult for me to find time to accompany you."
Zhu Qilan: “…”
His face turned dark and he chopped down the thirty assassins to ten.
In the end, after Lu Bei's endless bargaining, the number of death warriors returned to the original thirty from ten. After that, no matter how hard he talked, Zhu Qilan remained unmoved.
If there is nothing, there is nothing. There is no point in saying anything.
Zhu Qilan took Lu Bei to the camp and recruited thirty death warriors, including one Xiantian, four Baodan, and the rest were all foundation-building.
Lu Bei studied them for a while and found that these assassins all followed the path of physical cultivation. They were able to attack and defend, and were good at combined attacks and killing. Their disadvantage was that their methods were limited, and they could easily be wiped out if they encountered a magic cultivator who was flying kites.
Another point is that the Huangji Sect's death squads and the Xuanyin Division's death squads are extremely similar, and they obviously follow the same training route.
Lu Bei asked curiously, and Zhu Qilan did not hide the fact that all the assassins of the Huangji Sect had passed through the hands of a certain great elder. As for why the assassins of the Xuanyin Division were similar...
All we can say is that Wu Zhou had its own national conditions.
Since the tools were no longer of any value, Lu Bei decisively abandoned them, transformed himself into a golden-winged roc, swallowed up thirty of the dead men in one gulp, and soared into the sky with its wings flapping.
By the way, he postponed his training for the next few days. After he finished the trivial matters at hand, he would come to Zhu Qilan to refresh the task.
After returning to Sanqing Peak, Lu Bei began to investigate without stopping. He chose an open space with slightly flat terrain halfway up the mountain. He called in the drunken Sect Leader Ding and asked him to quickly inspect the site and provide two design drawings for construction as soon as possible.
One is the Xuanyinsi Purple Guard Camp, and the other is the Huangji Sect Commander Camp.
Considering the deep gap between the two families, Lu Beiyi, who received two salaries, thought that it would definitely not be appropriate for them to be neighbors living next to each other. In this case, they could only live door to door.
After receiving the order, Master Ding sobered up instantly, and patted his chest and said on the spot that as long as the money was enough, he would finish the drawings tonight even if he bleeds.
Sect Leader Ding had great faith in Lu Bei, even though they had known each other for a long time and he had always been at a disadvantage. The Emei Sect also gained a nickname, the Emei Sect.
But Lu Beizhen paid the money and the project payment was never in arrears as long as it was delivered on time.
Compared to this, how much are a group of stupid geese worth
Lu Bei added money, and Ding Lei fulfilled his promise and finished the drawings overnight.
So, when the players went online the next day, they saw Master Gao displaying his magical powers and consolidating the foundation with the Five Elements Wheel. The disciples of the Emei Sect came out in full force and began the infrastructure project in a grand manner.
In addition, a conscription notice was posted on the bulletin board in the front yard of Yuhuamen.
Name and gender do not matter, and there are no requirements for age or place of origin. As long as you are in the Foundation Establishment Stage, you can go to the headmaster to sign up.
In addition, the daily tasks are heavy and the work is extremely hard, which requires applicants to have the spirit of hard work and perseverance, and they cannot quit just because the tasks are too heavy.
In the cultivation of immortality, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God, so wages and benefits are negotiable, and there is no funeral expenses.
One line of large characters is the most eye-catching:
Seats are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The number of tasks is unlimited. The leeks who have reached the foundation-building stage rushed to Lu Bei's side. The leeks who have not yet reached level 20 quickly opened the book and filled in all the vacancies before the deadline of the Dashengguan elixir task.
For a time, the entire Sanqing Peak was thriving, and everyone had a bright future.
…
"Hey, when did a wall appear here?"
Fox walked up to Sanqing Peak in three steps, passing by a construction site full of people. A bunch of question marks floated through his mind. He arrived in front of the deserted gate of Yuhua Gate and laughed out loud: "Who drew this picture of a chicken eating rice? It's so funny. Is Lao Er crazy? He doesn't feel ashamed to carve it on the wall. If it were me..."
"This painting of Yunpeng flying thousands of miles is the work of your majesty." Lu Bei stepped out and said loudly.
“Ahem…”
Fox Three coughed repeatedly, his face was as red as a date, his eyebrows were ashen, and he praised: "What a great painting skill, the roc spreads its wings and hates the sky is low, what a high realm! This roc looks around proudly, so lifelike, if you hadn't told me, I would have been really afraid that it would fly out of the painting."
It is indeed a good painting skill. After all, not everyone has the ability to draw Peng as a chicken.
