Chapter 422 Qi Zhangwu
"In my opinion, there are still many problems in the Demon-Slaying Division, and this is after the Grand Commander took ruthless action to clean it up.
What was the Demon-Slaying Division like before this? I can't even imagine it."
Han Zheng sighed, feeling a little emotional.
Chen Baxian said in a deep voice: "Very bad, so bad that you can't imagine it.
The Demon-Slaying Division has been passed down for more than 3,000 years, and it is the one with the largest number of people among the three divisions of the Great Zhou. Naturally, there are all kinds of people among them.
And the Demon-Slaying Division is also an officialdom, and as long as it is an officialdom, it is inevitable to fall into this kind of corrupt situation.
The Grand Commander was a brave man who cut off his arm and was able to be ruthless. For this reason, he even slaughtered thousands of Xuanjia Guards and almost became a sinner for all ages. Do you think he is ruthless?
And the Grand Commander After cleaning up the bad apples in the Demon-Slaying Division, the spies of the demon clan in the Great Zhou immediately sent the news back to the Land of Ten Thousand Demons.
Taking advantage of the weakest moment of the Demon-Slaying Division, the Land of Ten Thousand Demons gathered countless demons to attack the Demon-Suppressing Pass.
Not to mention the demon kings, there were many demon emperors, and four of the seven demon saints of the demon clan came directly.
In the end, it was still the Grand Commander who turned the tide, using himself as bait to set up the Dutian Blood Evil Formation, which led to a fierce battle between the demon clan and the Great Zhou in the center of the formation.
Waiting for the dead demons There were already tens of thousands of people with the human race. The Grand Commander directly opened the formation and sacrificed the corpses of all the human races and demons on the battlefield at that time. The blood evil stretched for dozens of miles, instantly killing all the surrounding creatures.
In the end, two of the four demon saints of the demon race died and two were seriously injured. The country of ten thousand demons suffered heavy casualties and was no longer able to block the pass on a large scale.
The Grand Commander fled from the brink of death, and his injuries have not been completely recovered until now.
In the internal cleanup, the Grand Commander killed thousands of Xuanjia Guards.
In the battle of Zhenyao Pass, many of his own people were accidentally injured after the formation was opened. At that time, many warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have time to withdraw from the range of the formation.
So in fact, the Grand Commander has been criticized by many people over the years, saying that he was ruthless to his own people, etc. "
Han Zheng shook his head gently and said: "Being ruthless to others is not called ruthless, being ruthless to yourself is the real ruthlessness.
The Grand Commander even calculated himself in his actions and entered the game with his body. He is indeed a real ruthless person. "
Chen Baxian's evaluation is actually still very accurate.
If the Grand Commander of the Demon-Slaying Division cleaned up the internal affairs in order to suppress dissidents and let others fight to the death in front of the Demon-Slaying Pass, then he is just a hypocritical person who is good at power struggle.
But he offended so many people in order to curb the corruption and degeneration of the Demon-Slaying Division, and used himself as bait to start the formation at the risk of death. Even if such behavior is cruel, it can be called a hero of the time.
After saying this, Chen Baxian also took Han Zheng to a hall with a black dragon carved on the roof.
The black armor guard at the door seemed to recognize Chen Baxian and hurried to pass the message.
After a while, the black armor guard came out and said, "Sir Chen, the Grand Commander is discussing something with Inspector Fang Henge, and I will let you go in with him."
Chen Baxian turned to Han Zheng and said, "Wait here for a while."
Han Zheng nodded and stood aside obediently.
Chen Baxian stepped into the Black Dragon Hall.
Although the area of the hall is not small, the layout inside the house is extremely simple and plain.
A middle-aged man in his early forties sat at a long table at the top.
The middle-aged man looked elegant and gentle, wearing a loose black gown, with his hair simply tied up with a jade hairpin, looking quite casual and unrestrained, like those unruly Confucian scholars.
But the fierce Xuanming Black Dragon Armor hanging on the shelf behind him showed his identity.
This elegant middle-aged man is the current Grand Commander of the Demon-Slaying Division, Qi Zhangwu, who is called the "Hell of the World" by the people of Jianghu and even some Xuanjia Guards in the Demon-Slaying Division.
At this time, Fang Hen Ge stood in front of Qi Zhangwu, constantly reporting something.
"Grand Commander, the Demon-Slaying Divisions of each province really need to be managed. I have inspected so many provinces this time, and there are problems in almost every province. Some are even extremely serious, and corruption and disorder are worse than before!"
Fang Hen Ge looked distressed.
Chen Baxian was suppressing Shannan Dao, so Wu Yunfei and others had to cover up their illegal activities on the surface, and they were not so blatant.
But some Daos were led by the pacification envoys to do these illegal things, which were rotten from the root and could not be controlled at all.
Qi Zhangwu picked up an official document and drew a big cross on it.
This was his habit. When he needed to kill people, he would never have too many instructions. One cross was enough.
Then Qi Zhangwu raised his head and said lightly: "Hasn't it been like this all these years? Although I killed a lot of people at the beginning, it seems that I killed less now.
Last time, I was seriously injured in the rebellion at Zhenyaoguan. I haven't left the capital for more than 50 years. Those people thought I was no longer capable, so they began to test my bottom line step by step, until they were unscrupulous in the end. It was too normal."
"Then kill them until they are afraid!"
Chen Baxian walked in and said calmly.
Qi Zhangwu chuckled and said, "Do you think I don't think? It's just that once I sit on the position of Grand Commander, I have to consider many things.
If I were you, Chen Baxian, I would also want to kill everyone.
But now I am the Grand Commander of the Demon-Slaying Division, the 19th of the Great Zhou, and hundreds of thousands of Black Armor Guards are weighing on my shoulders. The word "overall situation" is more important than anything else, and it weighs on you so much that you can't raise your head."
Fang Henge also sighed.
The inspection envoys have always been the direct descendants of the Commander-in-Chief of Dang Mo Division, so Fang Henge knows Qi Zhangwu’s difficulties best.
However, Qi Zhangwu looked very free and easy, and said with a relaxed smile on his face: "Forget it, let's not talk about these bad things."
With that said, General Qi Zhang turned to Chen Baxian: "You really don't want to consider staying in the capital headquarters and insist on going to the Demon Suppression Pass?"
Chen Baxian said in a deep voice: "Grand Governor, you know what kind of person I am. The intrigue and intrigue environment in the capital is not suitable for me. I would rather go to the Demon Suppressing Pass to kill demons."
Qi Zhangwu smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "You, you, Zhenyao Pass is a bitter, cold, remote and extremely dangerous place in everyone's eyes. Only those who are assigned will go there.
You have just made great achievements in wiping out the Wenxiang Sect. There are obviously countless good positions reserved for you in the capital headquarters, but you insist on going to Zhenyao Pass. People who don't know think that I, the governor, are mean to my subordinates.
Besides, you, Chen Baxian, are not bad at intrigues. You are a rough and tumble person. Is there anything you can't understand? "
The Demon Suppression Pass is extremely important to the Great Zhou Dynasty, so the people responsible for guarding the Demon Suppression Pass are actually very mixed.
There are people from Longwusi, after all, they are the lifeblood of the Great Zhou royal family, and Longwusi must pay attention to them.
There are also people from Jian Tiansi. Jian Tiansi can observe the sky, check luck, and predict the future. People from Jian Tiansi are also indispensable in places like Zhenyao Pass.
Not to mention Dang Mo Si, who is definitely indispensable on the front line of confronting demons.
In addition to the big three divisions, there are more people from the military. After all, in addition to facing some powerful monsters, the Demon Suppression Pass also has to face a group of demons to break the pass. This kind of scene is more suitable for people from the military. play.
In addition, there are actually many Jianghu people in Zhenyao Pass helping to defend.
Of course, most Jianghu people do not come to Suppressing Demon Pass for reasons such as protecting the Great Zhou Dynasty or slaying demons. They just come to the Demon Pass to strive for wealth.
As long as you can kill a demon at the Demon Suppression Pass, you can receive the bounty from Da Zhou.
Similarly, the corpse of the demon can also be sold as materials for alchemy or weapon refining.
For people in the imperial court, Zhenyao Pass was the easiest place to make achievements and the fastest promotion.
For Jianghu people, Zhenyao Pass is also full of opportunities, and it is the easiest place to gain wealth.
But similarly, Zhenyao Pass is close to the wild land in the northwest, the environment is extremely harsh, and the situation is extremely dangerous.
Although there will not always be monster clans collectively blocking the pass, there will always be monsters attacking the pass, and they have to fight with the monsters almost every day.
So this kind of dangerous place has never been a good place to go.
In the Demon Dang Division, we have only seen people who have made outstanding achievements in the Demon Suppression Pass and been transferred back to the headquarters in the capital, but we have never seen anyone who has made outstanding achievements in the capital and been transferred to the Demon Suppression Pass.
