Chapter 280 Fighting

The Imperial City is much colder than Fengri City.

The first snow is said to have come three days ago, heralding the official arrival of winter.

And the coldest time in the imperial city will have to wait for more than a month. If there is no fire in the house for heating, people will freeze to death. So whenever that time comes, the Yamen will go door-to-door to check whether there is enough charcoal storage. If there is no money to buy, you can apply for some emergency from the Yamen, but you will need to pay it back with labor or money in the next year.

Every morning before dawn, charcoal carts would come in from outside the city. These are all materials that have been prepared half a year in advance, and they will be sold across the city.

Of course, the charcoal storage in the imperial government institutions is supplied by the imperial court, and there is no need for officials to worry about it. There are special charcoal rooms responsible for distribution. The charcoal house is just called the charcoal house. In summer, they actually serve tea and ice to cool down the heat.

Shen Hao is already very familiar with the Yamen of the Governor of Jingxi, and has entered and exited it many times. According to the rules, he went to the waiter first and waited. After feeling the warm charcoal fire in the waiter, he always felt a little lazy and drowsy when he sat down.

"Master Shen, please, Mr. Zhenfu Envoy."

After waiting for about half an hour, a small flag came to greet Shen Hao to go in, which attracted many people in the tea room to look at him, asking who this young man was and why he was called in after waiting so long and they waited so fast Didn't believe it all morning?

Someone said: You don't even know him? Shen Hao, Shen Baihu, the great evil star of Fengsun City! Mr. Jiang's number one sharp swordsman, do you have the ability to stop him and ask why he joined your team?

Immediately, the praises of "Oh, it's him" can be heard endlessly, and no one cares about such trivial things as Shen Hao not having to wait in line. Who will have trouble with the evil star? Enough support.

Shen Hao was pretentious, so naturally he didn't pay attention to the words of these people behind him, even if he heard it, he would laugh it off.

The concierge informed Shen Hao that he could go in.

Pushing open the door, bowing and saluting, he sat on the chair opposite the table according to Jiang Cheng's instructions.

"Sit down for a while, I'll finish approving this note."

"My lord, you are busy and don't worry about me."

After sitting for a stick of incense, Jiang Cheng put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and smiled. It's been a long time again, but he is more and more satisfied with this student.

"You did a good job in Tukui City this time. You warned the governor's yamen about Wu Changhe's disorderly life in advance, and avoided being messed up by that mediocre person. What's even more rare is your performance in the Jianhuang Tomb. Hidden killing in the cloud sword field illusion, and you never forget to help your colleagues. Hundreds of people survived because of your persistence. This was reported passionately by the three golden sword monks when they came back, and the commander also praised you Can't stop talking.

Give me a lot of face! "

Shen Hao said with a smile: "Hey, it's also a coincidence, and luck takes the majority." It's not too modest, knowing that Jiang Cheng doesn't like people's modest character, and it's right for him to go straight.

"Hahaha, luck is also a skill! And it's a great skill! By the way, your eyes are bright, and your complexion is different from before. Have you improved your cultivation level? Fourth level of God Gathering Realm? No! You are at fourth level of God Gathering Realm Breaking through again?!"

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.

Two months ago, Jiang Cheng saw that Shen Hao was only at the third level of the God Concentration Realm. Now not only has he reached the fourth level of the God Concentration Realm, but he is clearly approaching the next bottleneck. This kid is so talented? ! No wonder he could not be disturbed in a place like Yunjianyu.

"My lord, it is clear that this subordinate has gained a little in the past few days, so his cultivation has been inflated a bit, and now he is consolidating the foundation, and the next level is estimated to be too early."

"Morning? Who are you kidding? Even if you focus on consolidating your foundation, your current cultivation will definitely break through in half a year, and you can't even hold it back. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect your talent to be so high. It was a bit cruel to be buried before."

Shen Hao would not tell Jiang Cheng that his current cultivation was forced out of him. I can only smile and say nothing. To be honest, as long as he is willing, he can make another breakthrough within the next month. It's just that he still feels that consolidating the foundation is the main thing, and the matter of cultivation should not be rushed.

After chatting for a few more words, Shen Hao handed over his intention of coming today.

"What? Do you still have something to report?" Jiang Cheng took the note with a smile, and asked curiously while unfolding it. After several reports from the Black Flag Camp and the report from the Golden Sword Cultivator, the situation and the causes and consequences of the Sword Emperor Tomb are actually very clear. I don’t think there is anything unclear that requires Shen Hao to come in person.

Even Jiang Cheng felt that Shen Hao deliberately found an excuse to show him after he had improved his cultivation base, because he was thinking about the previous reward. But after I got the note, I glanced at it and immediately put this idea behind me.

Shen Hao still said on the sidelines: "My lord, the Black Flag Battalion performed very unsatisfactorily in the incident of the Sword Emperor's Tomb in Tukui City this time. How can I put it? According to my subordinates, it is "insignificant" and completely failed to deal with this situation. ability. It even became cannon fodder and a burden instead.

There are omissions of subordinates and the general low strength of the soldiers of the Black Flag Battalion."

"As the Black Flag Battalion becomes more comprehensive and the Blackwater Plan is implemented smoothly, the Black Flag Battalion needs more manpower and stronger armed force. Even diversified and multi-level manpower must be available."

"Previously, the Commander's Yamen gave the Black Flag Battalion preferential treatment in terms of titles, but the treatment did not solve the "strength". The idea of ​​​​the subordinates is whether they can take the Black Flag Battalion in Fengri City as a pilot, and the Fushi Yamen like this While intensifying efforts to incline cultivation resources, raise the overall strength of the Black Flag Battalion?"

"In addition, does this subordinate think that it is possible to retain some seedlings with outstanding cultivation and talents within the scope of the country and carefully cultivate them?"

Shen Hao's crackling words were laid out in sequence, while Jiang Cheng, who was sitting on the seat, sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed, watching the note without saying a word for a long time.

After a while, Jiang Chengcai closed the note and looked at Shen Hao with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "You are taking advantage of the fire."

"The subordinates dare not."

"Every sentence in your note is reaching out to the top. Do you need resources to increase the combat effectiveness of the Black Flag Battalion? How much resources do you think you have to spend to do it? This is not just one or two people, there are hundreds of people in the Fengsun City area alone Thousands." Jiang Cheng was a little speechless to be honest. If Guochao is really a big family, it can have as many resources as it wants?

"Hey, my lord, didn't I listen to your opinion? Let's take it step by step, how much is still a little bit higher? You also know how scarce the grassroots pills are. The little banner officials have to wait and see how lucky they are. Get one or two, some general soldiers have never even seen any pills. Their strength should not be so low, as long as you."

"Stop! I'll think about this matter, even if you use Fengsun City as a pilot, it's not something you and I can settle with just a few words here.

Besides this, is there anything else? "

"One more thing, the matter about Bai Changqing has officially started."
