Chapter 21 Promotion

When I woke up in the morning, it was already high in the sun.

Shen Hao shook his head, still feeling a little swollen, because he drank too much yesterday.

He picked up the teapot from the table and took two sips, exhaling a breath of stale air before he became somewhat awake.

Shen Hao didn't stay overnight in Laifeng Tower last night, he knew his own habits, if there was a woman next to him when he woke up in the morning, he would have to toss him all morning. He has something to do today, so he can't delay it casually.

He washed himself casually with the cold water brought up from the well in the yard, changed into clean clothes and went out. Today, he was going to the guard to have a chat with Chen Tianwen. He couldn't forget to go to the peak right after he got the award.

After entering the guard, Shen Hao obviously felt that many people were looking at him, some even whispered, guessing that the previous rewards should have spread, after all such generous rewards are rare.

knock on the door.

"Please come."

"General Banner, are you still busy?"

Chen Tianwen put down the pen in his hand, raised his head with a smile, and pointed to the chair beside him for Shen Hao to sit on.

"Shen Hao, have you got all the rewards?"

"I got it, I just came to thank Zongqi for taking care of me." Shen Hao didn't sit down in a hurry, but stood obediently.

Chen Tianwen laughed and said, "You, Shen Hao, are a person with real ability. Who do you need to take care of? This time, you made the merit with your own ability, so you don't need to thank me!"

Shen Hao felt something was wrong when he heard this, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly said, "Zongqi, what are you talking about? If you hadn't been helping me in the front, I wouldn't be able to see enough just now." , where can you make any contribution. It is still your leadership."

This is the truth. If Chen Tianwen hadn't approved three Thunderbolt Talismans for Shen Hao, Shen Hao would probably be belching by now. Not to mention that so many experts came to reinforce them one after another, otherwise it would not be easy to catch Qingjiang Crane.

While speaking, Shen Hao took out a small copper box from his arms without leaving a trace and put it on Chen Tianwen's table.

"I can't thank you, I can only borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and please don't be disgusted by Zongqi."

Shen Hao is here to maintain the relationship, empty talk is not enough, money and the like can't be handed out, so only the Xiao Pei Yuan Pill that he got yesterday is suitable for gifting.

After receiving two, it is still acceptable for Shen Hao to take one out and give it away. Although he is still extremely reluctant, who made him rootless and unreliable? If you don't do this, you won't be able to mix up on the scene.

But unexpectedly, Chen Tianwen pushed the copper box back.

"General Banner, you"

Chen Tianwen shook his head and interrupted: "I know that the current atmosphere is not very good, but it is not enough to grab the pill with you. Besides, you bought it with your life. Am I considered human if I take it? Put it away, don't let it I'm angry!"

The righteous words made Shen Hao a little confused. This is not Chen Tianwen in his impression. When did this general flag become so righteous and awe-inspiring?

But that being said, seeing the other party's stern face didn't seem like he was pretending, Shen Hao could only put the copper box back in a embarrassed manner.

Seeing that Shen Hao took back the box, Chen Tianwen had a smile on his face again, and continued to chat with Shen Hao in a casual manner, as if he was very free today?

"Shen Hao, I remember that your ancestral home is Xin Liangcheng in Jingzhong, right?"

"Huh? Yes."

"At the age of thirteen, he studied abroad and became a monk. At the age of eighteen, he joined our Licheng Xuanqing Guard. It has been eight years now. When you first came to the guard, you followed the boss, right?"

"Yes, I followed Boss Qi for three years, and then I followed you when Boss Qi left."

"Yeah, it's been so many years. I always rely on you a lot."

The more Shen Hao listened, the more uncomfortable he became. Chen Tian asked what these words meant? Why did you suddenly become so polite?

"General Banner, I don't deserve you to say that! It's true that I have learned a lot from you. Otherwise, I, Shen Hao, am still an ordinary soldier, and I don't know whether I am dead or alive."

Chen Tianwen smiled happily, but was noncommittal to Shen Hao's words. After a pause, he suddenly asked: "Now that you have enough ability and qualifications, do you want to take on some things too much?"

Is this about to be promoted? !

But after a second thought, Shen Hao directly rejected this idea.

The Licheng Guardhouse is full of radishes and pits, from hundreds of households to school orders, there are no vacancies even if someone wants to promote Shen Hao.

"General Banner, the subordinates you are talking about don't quite understand."

"Why don't you understand? Let me tell you tomorrow. Your ability is obvious to all, and your loyalty is high enough, so the office is going to put some burden on you. Do you have any thoughts?"

Really promoted? !

"But, Zongqi, this, this is not going to transfer me, is it?"

"Huh? Hahaha! What are you thinking, kid? How could someone like you transfer you out to make others cheaper? I mean just promote you in our guard. Do you have any ideas?"

"The subordinates must obey the arrangement, but it seems that there are no vacancies in our office?"

"It's true that there are no vacancies right now, but there will be soon."

"?" Shen Hao didn't quite understand, and wondered if there was a general banner who was going to be transferred away?

Chen Tianwen shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "Don't look at me, this is the meaning of Lord Baihu. I don't know exactly what will happen at that time. Lord Baihu just wants me to talk to you first. , if you have no objection, Lord Baihu will talk to you personally."

After a long time, the roots are here! Shen Hao's heart was a little bit darker, no wonder Chen Tian asked so strangely today, it turned out that he was ordered by Tang Qingyuan.

But how does Tang Qingyuan want to promote him?

"How about it, it's better to come early than to come by coincidence. Mr. Baihu happened to be in the public house today, so I'll take you there."

Chen Tianwen was very active. Although he didn't get any specific news from Tang Qingyuan, he had plans in his heart. Now that Shen Hao is a small banner officer, he will be promoted to the general banner of the seventh rank, and he will be a colleague on an equal footing with Chen Tianwen. Not for anything else, just to save a line now so that we can meet in the future.

Many things will be much easier if there is one more ally in the guard.

Knocking on the door of Tang Qingyuan's office, Chen Tianwen came here often, but it was the first time for Shen Hao, he was a little cautious for no reason.

"Well, Lao Chen is bothering you, you go back first, I will talk to Shen Hao alone."

"Ah? Good sir, then I will take my leave first."

"Um."

Chen Tianwen just brought Shen Hao in, and was sent away by Tang Qingyuan without saying a word, probably in a daze.

Tang Qingyuan sat on the chair and raised his head to look at the slightly reserved Shen Hao after finishing his work.

"Chen Zongqi must have gotten through the matter with you, right?"

"Yes."

"That's good. But have you ever thought about why the good thing of promotion falls on you, a rootless and unreliable little banner official, but not those distinguished and honored children? Could it be that your Shen Hao's ability So much stronger than them?"

"This subordinate doesn't know, and I hope the adults can clarify."

"It's very simple. I need someone with both ability and pure background to help me do things. You just happen to be my best choice at the moment."

While talking, Tang Qingyuan took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Shen Hao.

"Let's take a look first, and then we'll talk about it later."
