Chapter 760 Appointing the Generals and Personnel

The immortality medicine case that once stirred up the imperial capital ended so hastily, probably because the Lingxu City incident suddenly appeared and took away all the attention of the citizens.

The filth hidden in the dark quietly covered up the truth.

From this point of view, He Lingchuan can be regarded as the lifesaver of Qingyang State Master.

The world only envies Lingxu City's wealth and peace, and only worships its unparalleled strength. In fact, from He Lingchuan's perspective, it is also full of holes.

From this point of view, Lingxu City and Yuan Country seem to be no different.

"Also on the eastern front, Bega also suffered two defeats. I wonder if it was affected by the turmoil in Lingxu City."

"Anyway, the changes caused by this shock are far-reaching, and it may take a long time to fully see them." Elder Dao sighed, "Mr. He, you and Songyuan have really made extraordinary achievements."

He Lingchuan waved his hands again and again, with a humble face: "Elder, you are too kind, we don't have that much ability."

Hehehe, he also felt that it was not easy for him to do that job, and his head was on his belt.

He remembered another thing: "By the way, since Qingyang National Master has been demoted to a commoner, who will take over the position of Qinggong National Master?"

The position of National Master is crucial, and Lingxu City cannot be vacant for a long time.

"How can it be so fast?" Elder Dao smiled, "I heard that there are thirty or forty candidates who have been pushed to the Demon Emperor... cough, exaggerated, but all the forces are strongly recommending, hoping that their own people can be elected."

"Lingxu City has a complete system, shouldn't the Lord of Qing Palace have a successor?" Qingyang State Master is old, Lingxu City has not considered her successor?

"Yes, they are all talented people, but most of them have had contact with Qingyang State Master, and they can't be used after this incident." Elder Dao's words fully explained the cruelty of the power struggle. How many talents' futures have been cut off because of a little unprovoked disaster. "We must re-select."

"I heard that reports have been made one after another about this matter. Not to mention other candidates, Nie Xiaolou, the dean of Tongshan Academy, was detained for this and had to eat prison food for fifteen days. Students from several academies and the Imperial College jointly wrote a letter to prove that Nie Xiaolou was innocent. Students from Tongshan Academy even gathered in front of the court and begged the Demon Emperor to release him."

"Also, after the Lingxu Incident, the Demon Emperor used the power of thunder to order a purge of the Lingxu government and the public, to catch the traitors and identify the evil, and to dig out spies." Elder Dao clicked his tongue twice, "Once this order was issued, everyone was in danger and reports became a trend. It is said that in the past few months, the Tianlao and the Yang Palace on Xushan Mountain were full and could not fit in the criminals. Lingxu City had to requisition the prison in the lower city."

"It's enough for them to drink a pot." He Lingchuan thought that the Tiangong and the Demon Emperor made such a big fuss just to catch Fang Canran and other people from Lingshan.

How could he know that the demon emperor wanted to arrest him, thinking that the culprit of the chaos in Ruins Mountain was hiding in the royal court of Lingxu City, and was an official under his command!

Then he had to investigate thoroughly? No clues or any disturbances could be left unchecked.

How many false and wrongful cases would be created in this process?

Elder Dao took out a jade slip: "The candidates that Master Xue and I want to recommend to Master He are all here. All of them have served in the army, have military merits, and have established good character. I have carefully selected them."

He Lingchuan took it and probed into it with his mind.

There was a list inside, which included the resumes of about 60 people, including each person's name, specialty, past qualifications, supernatural powers, etc., all in great detail.

The most important thing is that they have all been on the battlefield, killed people and seen blood, and are not young disciples of Rongshan who only know how to practice.

Master Xue and Elder Dao have regarded He Lingchuan as a like-minded "one of their own", and they also know how difficult this road is, so they will not recommend him newcomers who are not familiar with the world.

He Lingchuan slowly selected, and indeed found quite a few that he liked.

After a while, he put down the jade slip and asked the two: "Can you specify a candidate?"

"Who else do you like?"

He Lingchuan pouted his chin: "Qiu Hu. He must have fought many battles, right?"

He was impressed by the fierceness and ferocity of this man. If Qiu Hu's past resume was not strong, he would be a natural killer.

Elder Dao and Master Xue looked at each other, and seemed not surprised: "You really want to choose him too."

Really? "It seems that there are many forces that like him, so why is he still in Rongshan?"

"I have recommended him to others several times, and he has been chosen several times. He has made many military achievements and killed no less than a hundred people." After all, He Lingchuan is not the only one who has the eye for physiognomy, and the unpolished jade will not wait for only him to discover it, "but he always comes back in the end."

"Why?"

"He is eccentric by nature, does not like to follow orders, and looks down on his superiors. After all, most generals in the army are not as good at fighting as him. But he is quite popular among the soldiers, and every time he causes trouble, it will eventually turn into a gang fight, and the generals can only send him back to Rongshan quickly." Elder Dao stroked his long beard, "After a few times, we had no choice but to let him eat idle meals in Rongshan."

It turned out to be a thorn in the side. Having said that, He Lingchuan could still hear Elder Dao's love for Qiu Hu.

"Qiu Hu lost his parents when he was young and was mute. Elder Zhao took him back to Rongshan and cured his muteness. When he was able to speak, he was already eleven years old." Master Xue added, "He has a special talent for cultivation. He was born with a demon spirit and can use some of the demon spirit's power."

"Demon spirit?" This is the first time He Lingchuan has heard of this word.

"In ancient times, some great demons were unwilling to die after being seriously injured, so they would try to preserve their spirits and find humans who were willing to worship them. In this way, their souls can be transformed into spirits and coexist with human descendants, passing down from generation to generation."

"So Qiu Hu has been accompanied by a demon spirit since birth?"

"That's right. This should be what his father passed on to him before he died." Master Xue sighed lightly, "The stronger the human who forms a pact with a demon spirit, the more power he can use from the demon spirit. Qiu Hu has excellent talent and a bright future in cultivation."

"So that's it. What is his demon spirit?"

Master Xue smiled and said, "Then you have to let him tell you himself."

This is Qiu Hu's secret. If Qiu Hu doesn't tell it himself, Master Xue can't leak it out.

He Lingchuan said seriously, "I want this person."

Elder Dao continued, "Of course we agree to lend Qiu Hu, but whether he is willing to follow you is up to him."

He Lingchuan coughed lightly, "I hurt him, this..."

It's normal for Qiu Hu to hold a grudge.

He also noticed that Elder Dao said "loan" instead of "send", which shows how much Rongshan values ​​Qiu Hu.

"On the contrary, if you can defeat him, he will be willing to follow you." Master Xue waved his hand, "But at this moment, I'm afraid he is unwilling to leave Rongshan."

"Oh? Why?"
