Immortality begins with the ninth grade patrol officer

Chapter 47 Interest Exchange
As soon as these words came out, Mu Xingtian stood up in shock, and looked at Lu Yu with an unbelievable look: "What did you say?"

Qi Zeping and Xiu Lin looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.After the last demon slaying operation, these two soldiers automatically belonged to Mu Xingtian's camp.This time, the head of Xuanwu Pavilion resigned. In order to cope with the subsequent impact, they gathered together and were thinking about how to carry out the next work of Xuanwu Pavilion.

After all, once the new Pavilion Master takes office, he will be the emperor and the minister. If the previous Pavilion Master did not manage daily affairs, the new Pavilion Master may not.Then, Xuanwu Pavilion is bound to usher in a powerful reshuffle involving power distribution.

During this period, they also communicated with the Zizhou Pavilion through their own relationships, but with no results.They found Lu Yu because they wanted him to go to the Zizhou Pavilion and ask what it meant.After all, Lu Yu's relationship with Zizhou Pavilion is far closer than theirs.

Shangguan Qi, Yang Qing, etc., these are two powerful supervisors.

of course.

It is impossible to say that Mu Xingtian has no thoughts in this regard.As long as it is confirmed from above that Mu Xingtian will be promoted from within the Xuanwu Pavilion, as one of the three chief directors under the Pavilion Master, and also holds the title of the number one master under the Pavilion Master, Mu Xingtian's chances are still very high. .

The only worry is that Mu Xingtian has offended many fellow monks in the past years when he has been in charge of the Discipline Department. Therefore, in terms of reputation, he cannot compare with Cheng Zaijiang, the current director of the Standing Department.

Now hearing what Lu Yu said, the thoughts hidden deep in the mind of the Director of the Discipline Department were suddenly revealed.

Qi Zeping and Xiu Lin, who had come back to their senses, couldn't help but get excited and said one after another: "What Lu Yu said makes sense, senior brother, why don't you fight for it!"

"Yes, in terms of qualifications, you have it. In terms of cultivation, you are now the well-deserved number one in our Xuanwu Pavilion. Even if we have the connections that senior brother is worried about, we also have it. It may not be worse than others, don't you think so, Lu Yu. "

Their eyes all fell on Lu Yu.

Lu Yu quickly raised his hand: "As long as the director is determined, I will go to the Zizhou Pavilion. Even if I cry, make trouble, and hang myself, shamelessly, I will help you keep the qualifications for promotion within our Xuanwu Pavilion. Pavilion Master This position is too important, and since you have the opportunity now, you must fight for it."

"As long as we can get it, it will bring a lot of benefits to you, Director, and to us, the errand boys."

As Lu Yu spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

When he smiled, Qi Zeping and Xiu Lin also smiled.

Mu Xingtian glared at Lu Yu: "Of course. If I become the director, it will be easier for you to walk within Xuanwu County in the future."

How could he not know Lu Yu's thoughts?

At this point, he sighed again, "But now, within this cabinet, Director Cheng is highly regarded. More importantly, Senior Brother Liao from the Mission Department is his die-hard ally. If the higher-ups decide to recommend us, then When the cabinet votes internally, he alone is equal to five votes!"

"With these five votes, plus the fact that four of the six Xuxue Xingdao are biased towards Director Cheng, and each Xuxue Xingdao is equal to two votes, in total, it is already thirteen votes. But this cabinet , how many people have the right to vote?"

According to the principle of internal selection, candidates do not have the right to vote. The holders of voting rights are the real cultivators of Xingdao (the master of the pavilion), Xingdao, Xingdao with false teachings, and ten powerful soldiers.Now that the cabinet leader is gone, the remaining three job holders can participate in voting.

Five votes for Xingdao.

Two false votes for Xingdao.

One vote for real military power.

Excluding candidate Mu Xingtian and potential candidate Cheng Zaijiang, there are only 27 votes in total.According to Mu Xingtian's assumption that Director Liao of the Mission Department must be an ally of Cheng Zaijiang, Cheng Zaijiang already had nearly half of the votes before the start.

Even if Mu Xingtian holds all ten real power soldiers in his hands, and wins the remaining two false teachings, there will be only fourteen votes.

But such an absolute thing is impossible.Not to mention whether the remaining two Xushou Xingdao will abstain, let’s talk about the top ten powerful military personnel in Xuanwu Pavilion. Even if Yue Lin and Zhang Qinghe have been eliminated, half of the remaining eight people are still related to Cheng Zaijiang. close.

As long as one person here votes for Cheng Zaijiang, Mu Xingtian will definitely lose.

It is precisely because of such concerns and the fact that his own prestige is far inferior to that of Cheng Zaijiang that even if Mu Xingtian has some thoughts in his mind, it is just a thought.

Contention?
How to fight?
Mu Xingtian sighed.

For a while, the scene was silent.

Xiu Lin said: "Senior Brother Mu, you are a little too worried. What if Senior Brother Cheng is not interested in the Pavilion Master?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xiu Lin greeted everyone with blank stares, even Lu Yu felt that he was too naive.Lu Yu could not deny that Cheng Zaijiang of the Standing Department was not a bad person, but he was a well-known control freak in Xuanwu Pavilion. This could be seen from the fact that half of the top ten military officers were his direct descendants.

And he has expressed his desire for the Pavilion Master more than once.

Xiu Lin chuckled: "That's what I said."

Qi Zeping thought for a while and then said: "Senior Brother Mu, if you ask me, it may not be possible. Although Director Liao and Director Cheng have a close relationship, they may not be monolithic."

When he said this, Mu Xingtian's eyebrows rose.

Xiu Lin's eyes were burning.

Lu Yu looked thoughtful: "It seems that there are other ways here." '

really.

Qi Zeping added: "To be honest, one of the disciples of my disciple Dong Jianyun is Director Liao's nephew. Director Liao has always wanted to push his nephew to receive a false military award. affairs, and even quotas for real-power military affairs.”

"But this person is a little mediocre. In addition, his nephew has been in the cabinet for less than six years. There are too many outstanding people in the same class. Therefore, even if Director Liao secretly tries his best, he is still a little short."

His was slightly mediocre.

He is not mediocre in the general sense, he may be an extremely ordinary Xuanwu Pavilion disciple.Perhaps, without Director Liao's relationship, he would have been dismissed long ago.

heard here.

Mu Xingtian's eyelids trembled slightly.

Of course he knew what Qi Zeping meant, which was to elect this person to the position and show favor to Director Liao so that Director Liao could be on his side during the voting.

However, this kind of secret operation has always been despised by Mu Xingtian.

Otherwise, why is Mu Xingtian's prestige within Xuanwu Pavilion far less than that of Cheng Zaijiang?

He talks about rules and procedures.

Among the ten major armies, there is not a single one of his.Moreover, there are several elite disciples in the Disciplinary Division who have already broken through the three realms of spiritual embryos, so Wang Heng was awarded the title of false military affairs.It was the previous actions against Zhao's family that made Qi Zeping and Xiu Lin, two veterans in the military with real power, come into his camp.

otherwise.

Mu Xingtian was a polished commander in Xuanwu Pavilion.

Lu Yu observed what was happening and didn't know what Mu Xingtian was thinking. He was afraid that the Chief Secretary would save face and suffer the consequences, so he quickly helped Qi Zeping speak: "Director, even if you don't think about yourself, you must also think about Senior Brother Wang Heng and the people of the Discipline Department. Other senior brothers, think about it."

"If we don't fight this time, will we still have a chance next time? Once you sit in the position of Pavilion Master, it will be difficult to get back down. What will we do then? It's not that you don't know Director Cheng's acting style. He wishes he could turn the entire Xuanwu Pavilion into his own."

"Now everyone in Xuanwu Pavilion knows that we are on your side. No matter how selfless Director Cheng is, in the long run, can you guarantee that he will tolerate us?"

Qi Zeping nodded towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu continued: "Of course we also know that you are a principled person, and you disdain this kind of cliques and interest exchanges in private. But I still want to say that the position of Pavilion Master will not last until the old Pavilion Master retires. In this case, it’s you!”

"Why do you say that? There are three reasons!"

"First of all, you are currently the number one combat force in our Xuanwu Pavilion. It is only natural that you should also take the number one position."

"Second, your contribution to this pavilion is obvious to all. If you hadn't been in this position, our Xuanwu Pavilion would have been in chaos."

"Third, I think that Director Cheng is almost unreasonable. Now in the position of standing director, he can't even practice the principle of reluctance and fairness. If he is really allowed to ascend to the position of Pavilion Chief, it will be very difficult for me, Xuanwu The court is definitely not a good thing. I think that if you are in the top position, even those who stand on the side of Director Cheng will actually be convinced in their hearts."

Xiu Lin said quickly: "What Lu Yu said makes sense."

Mu Xingtian's expression calmed down a little: "According to you, I must take the position of Pavilion Master?"

"It has to be you, senior brother!" Qi Zeping said earnestly, "If you have to fight, you have to fight. Anyway, I think you are the most suitable for this position. I am not convinced by other people in this pavilion. Besides, a man who only holds military service in vain." It’s just a quota, it’s not like we’re going to let that kid hold real power, so there’s nothing wrong with giving it to him.”

Mu Xingtian sighed: "What you said makes sense, so let's give it a try... Junior Brother, please talk to Senior Brother Liao."

Qi Zeping's face was filled with joy: "Senior brother, you are so wise!" He couldn't wait to take out a magic talisman and said it in front of several people: "Senior brother Liao, I heard that one of the last disciples was named Liu Huang. Disciple, he is sincere and honest, and has good moral character. Qi wants to recommend this person to get the title of military conferment, what do you think?"

Liu Huang is Director Liao's nephew.

Qi Zeping said this while pinching his nose. Mu Xingtian's eyelids were twitching as he approached him, and he was about to have a seizure.

Even though Mu Xingtian had accepted everyone's suggestions, he still couldn't bear to hear this.After all, for a person like him who has followed the rules all his life to do things like that, it is more or less difficult for him to pass the test.But now, the matter has come to a conclusion, and there is no turning back when the work starts.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Zeping sent out the spiritual talisman.

Mu Xingtian was a little unsure: "Will Senior Brother Liao come back?"

Qi Zeping chuckled: "Definitely."

Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, the void flashed, and a spiritual talisman appeared in front of everyone.Qi Zeping grabbed it, squeezed it, and heard a slightly aged voice say: "It's rare for junior brother to have such a relationship with the disciples of this pavilion. It's just that this pavilion has given the title of military service in vain. The selection of these three years has ended. ."

"Even if I approve it, the government can't admit it."

"Could it be that Junior Brother has other ways?"

The other way refers to Mu Xingtian.Because after every selection, Mu Xingtian will have remaining quotas.

This year is no exception.

Qi Zeping looked at Mu Xingtian, and Xiu Lin also laughed.

When both parties said this, they were actually testing each other and already understood each other's intentions.

Mu Xingtian said in a deep voice: "Tell him, I have another one here."

Qi Zeping nodded and made another magic talisman to respond: "As far as I know, Senior Brother Mu happens to have another one in his hand. If Senior Brother feels that there is no problem, Qi will speak to Senior Brother Mu."

After posting this, there was silence for a long time.

Lu Yu and the others were not in a hurry.

After a full moment, Director Liao's reply came: "Then I would like to thank you, Junior Brother. I also ask Junior Brother to say thank you to Director Mu with me. I will remember the kindness!" At this point, the talisman in the talisman The conversation changed, "The old Pavilion Master has resigned. The meaning has not been made clear yet. I wonder if there is any news about Senior Brother Qi?"

Qi Zeping continued to respond: "What does the above mean? As the cabinet, how can we guess? However, Qi feels that the position of the cabinet leader belongs to our Xuanwu Pavilion after all. I still prefer to resolve it internally. And I prefer Senior Brother Mu to take over. Of course, if the above opinions are completely different from ours, I have nothing to do."

This time, Director Liao's reply was obviously faster: "Junior brother's intention is the same as mine. The position of the Pavilion Master belongs to our Xuanwu Pavilion. There is no need to give it away. Oh, by the way, I also want to invite you, Junior Brother Qi. Do me a favor, I have a fellow member of the same clan who just passed the Jiannan Dao martial arts test a few days ago and is still waiting for a vacancy. I would like to ask my junior brother for help and see if I can make arrangements."

"Also, a few days ago, due to improper tempering, the magic weapon I carried was seriously damaged. In order to repair it, I have been piecing it together these days, but the main ingredient 'Golden Thunder Stone' is still missing. Let's see. Junior brother, can you help me think of a solution?"

When Xiu Lin heard this, he couldn't help but cursed: "This old guy is greedy."

It was obvious that he felt that a false military title was not enough to make him rebel against Cheng Zaijiang. Now, adding the quota of an official monk was not included, and he had to add a 'Golden Thunder Stone'.

Lu Yu chuckled.

Qi Zeping smiled and said: "When it comes to the ownership of the position of Pavilion Master, it is reasonable for him to ask for a higher price."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Lu Yu.

If you want to solve the quota of official monks, Lu Yu will have to bleed.Lu Yu said calmly: "There are no more positions that can be squeezed out in the county government, but there are still some vacancies in the Defense Department of Tongyu Town. As long as Director Liao doesn't dislike it, I will have no problem here."

Mu Xingtian muttered: "It's just a golden thunder stone, I can get it."

Qi Zeping laughed: "That's no problem!" Without hesitation, another talisman was issued.

After getting a positive answer from here, Director Liao's talisman came quickly.This time he did not use ambiguous words, but expressed his attitude directly: "As long as the superiors are willing to let the qualifications for promotion to the position of Pavilion Master be settled within my Xuanwu Pavilion, I will fully support Director Mu Xingtian."

"It's done." Qi Zeping was very excited, "Brother, sometimes things are so simple and not as complicated as you think. Hey, with Director Liao's five crucial votes, we only need to seize nine votes next. , you can get more than half of the votes from the votes currently eligible for election."

"By then, senior brother will be firmly seated as the head of the Xuanwu Pavilion, and there should be no problems."

As he said that, Qi Zeping put away his smile, and pondered: "As for the remaining nine votes, if Lao Xiu and I work together, we should be able to remove the four votes of Director Cheng's direct line from the few military affairs currently in service, and seize them. In our hands. Of course, even if we can’t catch them, we can make them abstain and not vote for Director Cheng.”

"But even in the best case scenario, it's only nine votes. It's still a little short of more than half. We still have to deal with it from the two Xu Xing Dao brothers."

His eyes fell on Mu Xingtian.

The meaning is very clear, that is, they can solve the military problem, but Mu Xingtian has to do it himself if he teaches falsely.

Mu Xingtian sighed: "Don't worry, I know what to do. I can't just do nothing and just rely on you to work and enjoy the results."

Qi Zeping said: "With your words, senior brother, I feel relieved."

The eyes of the group of people followed, all falling on Lu Yu.Lu Yu was a little confused: "What are you looking at me doing?"

Xiu Lin smiled and said, "Because you also have the right to vote."

"Me?" Lu Yu's mind didn't turn around for a moment.

He was given the military power in vain, not real power, and he was not qualified to vote.

Mu Xingtian smiled and said: "Yes, it's you. You may not know it yet, but you are now the real-power soldier of my Xuanwu Pavilion. Since you are the real-power soldier, of course you have the right to vote."

Lu Yu understood: "Is this my reward?"

Mu Xingtian nodded: "Yes, your reward has been determined through the Zizhou Pavilion and Xuanwu Pavilion! After we unanimously agreed, you will take up the real power military position vacated by Zhang Qinghe. In addition, because For your outstanding contribution in the last operation, we have also decided to reward you with five thousand meritorious deeds."

Merit is the count of merit within the palace, courtyard and pavilion system. In order to distinguish it from officials and monks, it is called merit.As the name suggests, meritorious service is also aimed at the palace, courtyard and pavilion system.

With meritorious deeds, the meritorious value obtained can be exchanged for the merits, instruments, medicines and medicines in the palaces and pavilions, as well as other cultivation items.

And I heard that the meritorious service given to me by the superiors amounted to five thousand.

Lu Yu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Five thousand meritorious deeds can be exchanged for a lot of things, such as powerful fourth-level magic weapons, powerful fourth-level skills, extraordinary fourth-level elixirs, and so on.And when used to exchange for third-level items, it can be added ten times more than the exchanged items.

"So many?" Lu Yu came back to his senses.

Mu Xingtian said solemnly: "In fact, we still feel that we have given you less. According to your merits, it is more than enough to give you a false teaching. That is to say, if you can't keep up with your current cultivation level, when you are promoted to the fourth level, It’s probably almost done when we are in the realm of elixir.”

Lu Yu wanted to say it.

I have no problem with that. If you want to give me a virtual teaching on how to practice the Dao, just give it to me.

However, Lu Yu did not say it out loud after all.

Mu Xingtian patted Lu Yu on the shoulder: "Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, the value of merit is not the main thing. The main thing is that your real military status, although the reward has been given, has not yet taken effect, you must Solve this problem immediately. In this way, you can go down and rest first, and after other matters are taken care of in the afternoon, the director will personally host your promotion ceremony."

After all, military affairs with real power are different from military affairs with virtual authority.

This is inside the Xuanwu Pavilion. The real monk level has a promotion ceremony.

Lu Yu nodded and asked again: "Didn't we free up two real-power soldiers this time? One was given to me, and who is the other one?"

Mu Xingtian said solemnly: "The remaining one originally had no specific intention, but now, I have an idea."

He said he had an idea.

Lu Yu understood, that was to give up this real power military position for a deal.

Because of the last operation, he was the leader in Xuanwu Pavilion, so the vacant seats and the specific appointment rights were all in the hands of Mu Xingtian.

To be honest, it is not easy for the director of the Discipline Department to make such a decision.

Lu Yu said: "Sir, you finally figured it out."

Mu Xingtian sighed: "You are right. When necessary, we must fight, and we must use all the conditions we have to fight. If we don't fight, we will fight. If we fight, we will get it into our hands." Pinch, if you don’t talk about it halfway, it will cause unnecessary trouble.”

After saying that, the director of the Discipline Department glared at Lu Yu again, laughed and scolded: "Good boy, you actually taught me a lesson, you are simply lawless."

He made a gesture and reached out to knock Lu Yu on the head.

Lu Yu laughed loudly and rushed out of the courtyard: "I'm going to the guest room to rest first. If you are ready, sir, just call me."

As soon as I rushed out, I heard bursts of laughter coming from inside.

It can be seen that the three people inside are in a very good mood.

Lu Yu didn't care about that. He just swayed and went straight to the guest room.Looking at Lu Yu who was walking away, and then at Mu Xingtian whose eyes were filled with relief, Qi Zeping and Xiu Lin looked at each other, revealing meaningful smiles.

And this time!
Mu Xingtian lamented: "This kid, since he came down the mountain, like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate, his whole person has changed from the inside out."

Qi Zeping deeply agreed: "Who would have thought that the little monk who was originally unknown on the mountain and could not even control his own life and death would become like this in the blink of an eye?"

Mu Xingtian suddenly thought of something: "Could it be said that the mortal world at the foot of the mountain really has some inexplicable power? When used on certain specific groups of people, it can produce extraordinary effects? If that is true, from now on, we will also Don’t just pay attention to the three-thirds of land under your feet, you should also pay appropriate attention to the outside!”

"If possible, we should properly send the disciples in the pavilion down the mountain to the mortal world to have a good experience."

　Thank you for the recommendation votes of 'Taibai invites the moon to the fairy in wine', 'Ru Daodao', 'Chongyang Street No. [-] Brother' and q-reading book friend 'Like Water' to predict the future.
