Chapter 294: Help you to the position of provincial governor (1)

“It’s different now. You see, the war in the Northwest is getting intense, so the governor – General has been replaced by a rank -1. The Imperial court’s original intention was to have a rank -1, or even a transcendent – Level, chief of soldiers take on the position of Governor to deal with the current situation. However, it was later boycotted by the Civil officials. It was said that the Imperial court looked down on civil officials. Although skills were important in war, intelligence was more important. Later on, it was given a rest and was downgraded by one level. However, Xiao shenguo’s skills were not good enough. He had not entered rank -3 yet. Therefore, he had to get it. “Although Wan Hansong is a rank -2, I don’t think he’s achieved full rank -2 yet. Therefore, there’s not much hope for him.” Jiang Xuan said. …… After drinking a few cups of tea, the situation was clear. Tang Wen took his leave and soon arrived at the Yamen of the chief office. Because they were old acquaintances, and Tang Wen was the Deputy envoy of the regimental training, he entered the Yamen directly. He didn’t see Wan Hansong in the lobby, nor did he see him when he went up to the second floor. Later, he went to the backyard and found Wan Hansong sitting at a stone table with a distressed face. “Lord Wan, what’s the matter?” Tang Wen asked. “Oh, it’s Lord Tang. Please take a seat.” Wan Hansong quickly stood up and said. Tang Wen walked over and sat opposite Wan Hansong. “I see that Lord Wan doesn’t look well. He probably hasn’t had a good rest recently.” Tang Wen said. “Rest my ass. I haven’t slept for three days and three nights.” Wan Hansong said in a bad mood. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” Tang Wenming asked despite knowing the answer. “Can you still sleep? The enemy was almost at their doorstep. Lord Xiao isn’t here, and I’m having a headache right now. By the way, I don’t think you can keep your people. You have to pull them to the front line. ” Wan Hansong said. “I support Lord Wan’s intention, but, Lord Wan, this is an opportunity for you. I heard that Lord Xiao won’t be coming back.” Tang Wen said. “He won’t be coming back, but it won’t be my turn either.” Wan Hansong shook his head in disappointment and gulped down a bowl of tea. “Why can’t you? Once the provincial governor is gone, you’ll take over as the second – in – command. ” Tang Wen said on purpose. “Go, my ass!” Wan Hansong snorted. “Lord Wan, I think you’re underestimating yourself.” Tang Wen said. “What’s the use of me not belittling myself? Power was still power. I, Wan Hansong, am a man, and I was the top scholar in the past. His martial arts were not weak either. Who would not want to make a name for themselves in their lifetime? But I was so close, so close. ” Wan Hansong was instantly furious. He slammed the table, causing the teacups to jump. “Is there any use in saying this? That was that year, but you slacked off later on. Back then, you were the top scholar in all of great Chu’s exam candidates. Why are you still unable to attain rank -1?” Tang Wen said. “Damn it!” Wan Hansong slumped into his chair and looked up at the ceiling with dull eyes. After a long time, he said,”I’m sorry, I lost my composure and disappointed you, Sir Jue.” “I can help you achieve rank -1,” Tang Wen said. “Impossible!” Wan Hansong shook his head. “Why is it impossible?” Tang Wen asked. “I’m only at advanced rank -2 now, not yet perfected. “Even if you give me ten more limit – breaking pills, I’ll only be able to achieve complete rank -2 at most. As Linghai province was the front line of the war, the Imperial court’s intention was that they had to be rank -1. Moreover, this is already the lowest requirement. ” Wan Hansong could be considered to be speaking from the bottom of his heart. “I can help you!” Tang Wen said. “You ... You you ... That’s impossible ...” Wan Hansong looked at Tang Wen in a daze. After a long time, he shook his head. “Lord Wan, if you don’t believe me, I’ll leave immediately.” Tang Wen stood up. “It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just impossible. ” Wan Hansong said. “Coward! You don’t even have the courage to try. ” Tang Wen sneered. “Who Do You Think You Are? You dare to call me a coward in front of me? What do you have? Didn’t you just rely on a few taels of silver to hire people? But can you hire an expert? Those hands of yours, nothing much? If you go to the battlefield this time, you’d better think about how to save your life first. The front line is cruel and bloody. It’s useless even if you have a few subordinates to protect you. ” Wan Hansong was completely enraged. He slammed the table and stood up, his fingertips almost poking Tang Wen’s nose. “If you can break off my hand, I’ll give you five million taels.” Tang Wen pointed at Wan Hansong. “Is Lord Jue’s words true?” Wan Hansong’s eyes twitched when he heard five million Yuan. “Of course! If you don’t believe me, we can make a military pledge. ” Tang Wen said. “Get down here!” Wan Hansong turned his palm, grabbed Tang Wen’s arm, and pressed it down. However, Tang Wen’s palm didn’t move at all. Wan Hansong was stunned.”That’s not right. I used at least some strength.” “Put in more strength and I’ll give you one more chance.” Tang Wen’s hand didn’t move. “Down!” Wan Hansong was furious. He activated his inner Qi and pushed his left arm down. Still no movement! Wan Hansong was dumbfounded, and the corner of his mouth twitched. This time, he had used half of his strength. “Last chance!” Tang Wen said coldly. “The mountain is pressing down, the river is falling!” Wan Hansong went all out. He used all his strength in his arms and jumped down from the air, hitting Tang Wen’s arms with both hands. Buzzzzzz! As if he had hit a huge iron pillar, Wan Hansong fell to the ground from the shock. He immediately sat on the ground and looked at Tang Wen with a dumbfounded expression. “So ... So, you’ve been playing dumb all this time ...” After a long time, Wan Hansong said with an ashen face. “I just broke through.” Tang Wen raised his palm and chopped at a tree about 250 feet away. With a crisp crack, a tree branch as thick as an adult’s arm was cut off. “You ... You’re a middle – Stage rank -1?” Wan Hansong was shocked to death. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he looked at Tang Wen. I haven’t even displayed my full strength yet! You’ll be shocked to death ... “You ... What did you use to break through?” The next moment, Wan Hansong reacted and jumped up, asking. “You don’t have to care what I used to break through. I can tell you seriously that if you want to reach rank -1, I can help you achieve it now.” Tang Wen said. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You must have some conditions. Tell me, what are your conditions?” Wan Hansong regained his calm. However, the human – like little one looked at Tang Wen with a face full of desire. “Join the Tang family and become a member of the Tang family. I’ll provide you with everything you need, including a large number of spirit stones, spirit pills, and silver taels. You just need to be a good official, work for the people, and contribute to the country. I’ll take care of everything behind you. ” Tang Wen said. “Join ... Join the Tang family? what do you mean?” Wan Hansong asked, his lips seemed to be trembling. “There are many things in this world that are transactions. Otherwise, why would I give you everything?” Tang Wen said. “Selling my body?” Wan Hansong understood, and his face immediately darkened. “The only condition.” Tang Wen said. “That’s impossible! I’m a second – rank official of the Imperial court, and you’re saying that I’ll sell myself to the Tang family? However, if you help me, this is a deal. I can help you with many things in the future. ” Wan Hansong shook his head. “Hehe, humans are all selfish, and it’s easy to forget everything. At that time, when you become a second – rank high official and take the position of provincial governor, will you still remember me? In fact, you might even frame me and kill me with the Linghai Academy. “When that time comes, everything will be gone. God knows how you managed to climb up the ranks and enter rank -1!” Tang Wen smiled. “I, Wan Hansong, am not that kind of person,” Wan Hansong said. “When they borrow money, they will swear to the heavens that they will pay back the money. Then, when you go to collect the debt, they will all become Masters. On the other hand, the creditors were the pitiful ones. In this world, all oaths were bullsh * t! The human heart was hard to fathom, and only black and white matters. This was the constraint and the framework. And if you want to have everything, you have to pay the price. You said it yourself, there’s no free lunch in this world. “Of course, you can also choose to continue sitting in the position of chief administrator. However, there was no such thing after this. In life, perhaps, one chance would make you regret it for the rest of your life. One wrong step leads to many more wrong steps. ” Tang Wen sneered. “But after I sold myself to the Tang family, I became a servant of the Tang family. How can I live freely? It’s better to sit in the position of chief administrator. ” Wan Hansong sneered. “Don’t worry, I don’t care about you in most matters. Only when the Tang family needs you will I need your help. Of course, the Tang family doesn’t necessarily have to hang themselves on a tree like you. I believe that with such favorable conditions, some people will be willing. At that time, he might be your superior. ” Tang Wen said. “But how can I believe what you say?” Wan Hansong snorted. “You can only believe it! I won’t say what kind of person I am. All of this is bullsh * t because I’ve said it before, the human heart is unpredictable. However, everyone had their own judgment. There’s one more thing I need to tell you. The rations that my brother – in – Law lost have been recovered and will be transported to Linghai in a few days. If you join the Tang family, you’ll get a share of the credit. Time is tight, you can only make a decision within these two days. Otherwise, I’ll give the credit to someone else. ” Tang Wen said. “But you can’t guarantee that you’ll push me to the position of provincial governor. If I can’t get it, wouldn’t I have suffered a great loss?” Wan Hansong said. “There’s an 80% chance. For example, I’ll say that you sent me to investigate the grain robbery case this time, which is a good Military Merit. If my Tang Army goes out, we will definitely win. At that time, at least half of it will fall on your head. For example, you personally went to the front line to command. With these two merits added together, in addition to you stepping into the first rank, is it still difficult for you to become the governor?” Tang Wen said. “The sun nation isn’t a weakling. The elite black cavalry of Linghai took part in a battle for the first time and lost over a thousand men. Could it be that your Tang Army is even more powerful than the black cavalry?” Wan Hansong obviously didn’t believe him. “I have my own reasons. My Tang Army is completely armed with Western goods. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to somi Island. You’ll understand when the time comes. ” Tang Wen said. “Sure, I’d like to go and take a look. We’ll set off at five in the morning tomorrow.” Wan Hansong seemed to be moved. “Milord, are you really going to sell yourself to the Tang Clan?” As soon as Tang Wen left, Grand Master Li Jingyuan couldn’t help but ask. “Selling myself? how is that possible?” Wan Hansong said with a smile. “If you go down tomorrow, you’ll send the wrong message to Tang Wen. He’ll definitely misunderstand that you’ve already fallen for him.” Li Jingyuan said. “SuMei Island is Linghai’s territory. What’s wrong with me going down to patrol? This official would like to see the strength of the Tang Army. If it really is as he says, then our luck has come. ” Wan Hansong said. “Daren’s meaning is to use the Tang Army’s battle to gain merit?” Li Jing Yuan said. “That’s right. At that time, this official will personally command the Tang Army to make a contribution. Under military merits, it meant that my skills had not met the court’s requirements. However, battle merits can cover up everything. ” Wan Hansong said. “But Tang Wen might not let you have your wish.” Li Jing Yuan said. “Tang Wen is just a small Earl. What can he do? Does he dare to disobey the Imperial court’s decree?” Wan Hansong sneered. “Sir, don’t forget that Tang Wen is a rank -1 master.” Li Jing Yuan said.
