Chapter 196 Position
Jiang Cheng considered himself a tough guy, and he felt that even if he couldn't bear all the tortures in Xuanqing Guard, he could bear half of them if he wanted to. But now he realized that he had taken it for granted, not to mention Xuan Qingwei's torture, even the methods Pang Ban imposed on him now made him almost unable to hold back and scream.
I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Chengcai felt the horrible pain and itching in his body gradually relieved, and finally disappeared.
At this time, Jiang Chengcai swallowed a mouthful of blood, which was all from his teeth biting out just now.
Kneeling again, Jiang Cheng continued to wait for Pang Ban's words without saying a word.
"This time, I will take a small punishment as a warning. I hope that you will first get the consent of this seat for anything that touches the bottom line in the future. Do you understand?"
"Subordinates understand." Jiang Cheng was relieved deeply, knowing that he narrowly passed the test this time. But it looks like the project he named "Blackwater" is about to be discontinued.
But Pang Ban's next sentence made Jiang Cheng's heart come alive again.
"Who else knows the whole picture of this plan besides you?"
"Only Shen Hao, the Hundred Household Officer of the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City, knows the whole picture."
"This plan was also planned by him?" Pang Ban ignored what Jiang Cheng said before that the plan came from his guidance. Jiang Cheng is not the kind of person with strange thoughts. Although he is courageous, he can't think of such a plan.
"Yes, my lord, Shen Hao is the original planner and current specific executor of the Blackwater Project, and his subordinates are just controlling the general direction." Jiang Cheng is also a bachelor, and he did not shy away from bringing Shen Hao out.
"It's a talent, and you need to control it well. If you use it well, it will be a boost, and if you don't use it well, it will burn you."
"Yes, my lord. Shen Hao was picked up by his subordinates. He has good conduct and disposition, and he is also a disciple of his subordinates. It can be said that he has no second thoughts about Xuan Qingwei."
"That's good. You continue to leave this matter to Shen Hao. As for you, it's best not to come forward directly. If things turn upside down, you won't be able to take it off because you are too big, understand?"
"This subordinate knows."
"Also, let's press the progress of the dental clinic again. I hope to have a conclusion within this year whether it can achieve the expected effect."
After half an hour.
Jiang Cheng walked out of the commander's yamen, looked back at Zhu Hong's high gate, but felt a sense of relief in his heart after a catastrophe.
Although I suffered a bit, the matter was completely settled. And as he expected, Pang Ban was very interested in the second part of the Blackwater Project. Although he didn't say it clearly, he was clearly signaling that he was going to kill those members of the civil service group.
There are many and complicated factions in the civil official group, but now they are collectively called by Pang Ban. It is conceivable that these factions have a tacit understanding in the matter against Xuan Qingwei.
This was something Jiang Cheng hadn't thought of before.
Don't look at Jiang Cheng as a senior official of the fourth rank now, but Xuan Qingwei's special establishment prevents him from getting in touch with the high-level officials of the country, let alone going to the temple to see them. So he only knew that the wind direction in the temple was not good, because His Majesty did not appoint a crown prince for a long time, so the minds of the seven princes were fluctuating. But did not expect to have reached this point?
Even according to what Pang Ban said just now, the cold war has begun to evolve into a war. What is this for?
His Majesty is still here, and the princes are fighting?
This is a bad omen!
Jiang Cheng thought about it for a while, and his heart sank again, because he felt a sense of urgency from Pang Ban's few words. Because even Pang Ban started to act dangerously and connived at him to carry out the Blackwater Project, but the pressure and wind and rain from Xuan Qingwei's outside world were overwhelming.
Jiang Cheng didn't know that what really made Pang Ban feel worried and stressed was not the whims of the seven princes.
On the second day after Jiang Cheng returned to the yamen, a group of twenty personal guards quietly disappeared from the list of personal guards without any warning.
Shen Hao, who was far away in Fengri City, saw these twenty masters who were concealed by Jiang Cheng's spring and autumn brushwork in a small town tavern outside the city.
"This subordinate joins Master Shen."
In the box of the tavern, twenty people lined up in four rows and bowed their hands to Shen Hao who came in. The aura of these people alone made Shen Hao feel an inexplicable strength.
Not all of them were unfamiliar faces, Shen Hao had seen some of them before, although he couldn't name them, he knew that these people were Jiang Cheng's personal guards. He thought to himself that Jiang Cheng did pay enough attention to this matter.
The tavern was opened by Feilong's subordinates, and now this kind of stronghold that is easy to hide, Feilong has established many places in Fengsun City's jurisdiction with great insight. So security is no problem.
Shen Hao sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, then looked at this group of people with a strong military temperament and asked: "Did Master Jiang send you here and say anything?"
"Master Jiang told us to obey your arrangements and instructions."
"Which of you is the leader?"
Two people came out first in the crowd. Arched his hands and said: "My subordinate Zhang Lie is the small banner officer of Group A." "My subordinate Liu Meng is the small banner officer of Group B."
"Introduce each of you's cultivation and what you are good at."
"yes."
Among the twenty people, there are four people in the God Concentration Realm, the highest level is the fourth level of the God Concentration Realm! He was taller than Shen Hao, but it was strange that Shen Hao didn't feel the slightest threat from the realm, and he even felt that the other party would not be his opponent. I was puzzled but didn't show it.
The other sixteen people are all masters of the 5th to 8th level of qi refining. With this kind of cultivation, they are definitely the top of the list in the hundreds of households of Xuanqing Guards in various places.
And when it comes to their proficiency, these 20 people also brought Shen Hao a surprise. These people are best at combining skills, ranging from three to ten people. Three of them are good at torture, and one is good at array and illusion.
These twenty people are a complete fighting system! And it is still the kind that can be split and combined at will. This kind of manpower can be used by hand, and can be adapted to many situations.
However, it seemed that these twenty people didn't know what they were quietly sent to Fengri City for. They all looked serious and looked at Shen Hao secretly, probably wondering what would happen to them.
"Are you all from the military?"
"Yes my lord."
"If you are turned into hooligans or stingy officials from now on, and Xuan Qingwei's prestige is completely broken, you may not be restored to your status until you die. Are you willing to stay?"
Shen Hao's words did not change the faces of these people, Qi Qi said that he would not shrink back whether it was going up the mountain of swords or going down the pan of oil.
"Well, since you have this confidence, I won't say anything more. Starting today, your documents in Xuanqingwei will be set as the highest secret level, and ordinary people will no longer be able to find out about you. If you don't, you will never know that you once stayed in Xuanqingwei.
You will be divided into two groups and go to two different places to perform tasks. It just so happens that you have divided up yourselves now, I will take a group of people away now, and you decide who will go with me first? "
