Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 215 Chen Deng (Fourth update for subscription)
"Sure enough, the hearts of the Han Dynasty are still there! I thought I would loosen the bondage and give wine, and go through the process of Cao Cao's subjugation of Zhang Liao. I didn't expect that Jiang Qin could be subdued by just saying "abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and serve the court!"

Gao Cheng thought in his heart, of course he knew that Jiang Qin's willingness to serve was not because of his personal charm, but because of the Huai'an county magistrate and Guangling prefect behind him.

However, no matter what the process is or what the reason is, anyway, the current result is that he has one more future general under his command.

The more talents you have.Gao Cheng will rise faster in the future.

After Gao Cheng led the warship back to the water village, Huang Zun, the county magistrate of Huai'an, and Sun Xi, the patriarch of the Sun family, got the news, and quickly brought people to the water village. Seeing more than 2000 water thieves captured, they couldn't help smiling.

Gao Cheng came out and welcomed the two into the camp.

As soon as the guest of honor was divided into kneeling and sitting on the couch, Huang Zun couldn't help it, and praised: "Zi Ming is really fast, he trained a water army in two months, and wiped out the water thieves in Baima Lake. When I get to the city, I will send the battle report to the county guard's mansion, and Ziming will be the county captain of Huai'an in a short time!"

Gao Cheng said: "This is also the opportunity given to me by the county lord, otherwise how can I become a full-time official with a rank of four hundred stones?"

The position of county lieutenant does not seem to be a big one, but it is the first step to become an official.Liu Bei, the future founding emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, made a lot of military exploits in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and when it came time to assess the merits, he was only appointed as the Anxi County Captain.

Gao Cheng can catch up with Liu Bei when he becomes the county captain of Huai'an!

Seeing Gao Cheng's humility and politeness now, Huang Zun couldn't help letting go of his previous fears. This time, as the county magistrate of Huai'an, he also had credit for the opponent's suppression of water thieves.

Thinking of this, Huang Zun felt even better.

And Sun Xi heard from his son that Gao Cheng's mental strength was so powerful that he could easily kill warriors at the seventh level, and his attitude changed drastically.

In the past, Gao Cheng beheaded a nine-level warrior with a single sword, showing his formidable force. What Sun Xi wanted was to try not to offend him, and the two families would not violate the river.

And when Gao Cheng showed his strong spiritual power, Sun Xi immediately thought of getting on Gao's boat, wanting to cooperate with Gao and get some benefits from following him.

This change of attitude is also in line with the concept of the entire world family. Warriors who practice strength are just reckless. Only by studying the scriptures carefully and cultivating spiritual strength is the best.

Strong mental strength coupled with family background, will be regarded as a member of the family by the world's family.To be able to associate with him.Otherwise, with Gao Cheng's current status, he doesn't even have the qualifications to step into the gates of those top aristocratic families.

Huang Zun and Sun Xi didn't stay in the water village for too long. They talked for a while, drank a few glasses of wine, and then rushed back to the county seat. Huang Zun didn't break his promise, and quickly wrote a battle report and sent it to Guangling, He and Gao Cheng asked for credit.

When the battle report was sent to Guangling.The story of Gao Cheng leading the county to eradicate the water thieves in Baima Lake also spread in all directions. Baima Lake is an important waterway in Guangling.

"Huai'an Gaocheng? Isn't that the kid who annexed Mei's family property two months ago because of [-] acres of land?"

"I heard that when Gao Cheng exterminated the water thieves, he used the Taoist Five Thunder Immortal Technique? Apart from having the strength of the ninth level, does this person also have a strong spiritual cultivation?"

"It's true that the wave behind the river pushes the wave ahead. There is a Chen Deng in Guangling, who has an extraordinary cultivation of soul at a young age. I didn't expect that besides him, there will be a young hero with both civil and military skills!"

Many aristocratic families in Guangling counties, after hearing the news of Gao Cheng's extermination of the White Horse Lake pirates, had a deep impression on Gao Cheng.Especially after the White Horse Lake is unblocked, the merchant ships of these aristocratic families can continue to pass here, reducing a lot of trouble.

Amid the praises of many aristocratic families, Gao Cheng's reputation continued to grow in Guangling County, and some people even compared him with Chen Deng of the Guangling Chen family.

At this time, Chen Deng had already been promoted to Xiaolian and served as the magistrate of Dongyang County, with a rank of six hundred stones.If Gao Cheng was appointed as Huai'an county lieutenant, the gap with him would indeed not be too big.

However, the Guangling Chen family is a first-class family in Xuzhou.It can be compared with Bohai Gaoshi.Even the aristocratic families in Xiapi City knew the reputation of Guangling Chen Deng.

It is undoubtedly a great flattery for others to mention Gao Cheng and Chen Deng together, which made his reputation skyrocket.Not only Guangling, but also spread to Xiapi City.

After Mi Zhu heard the news, he immediately asked his steward to prepare a generous gift to congratulate him.He sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, I did not misunderstand the person. With Gao Cheng's ability, the Guangling Gao family may become a famous family in Xuzhou in the future!"

"I heard that Gao Cheng is not engaged yet. Well, if my younger sister is not too young, marrying Gao Cheng would be a good choice!"

Guangling City.

In the huge mansion, a clear creek flows from the attic pavilions and flows into the small lake in the backyard. In the hall near the small lake, an old man with black and white beard and hair is kneeling behind the jade table, holding a scroll in his hand. Bamboo slips.

Next to the old man, there was a young man kneeling on the rug. This young man had a heroic look in his eyes and an extraordinary demeanor.

"Father, I heard that the sheriff asked for your opinion on the appointment of the Huai'an county captain. How would you reply to the sheriff?" the young man asked.

These two are Chen Gui, the Patriarch of the Chen Clan in Guangling, and Chen Deng, his son.

Chen Gui's grandfather was a prefect, his uncle Chen Qiu had been an official to the prefect, and his two brothers had served as prefect of Ruyin and prefect of Wujun, and he himself had served as Prime Minister of Peiguo.

With these backgrounds, the foundation of the Chen family is extremely solid. Even when the county guard appoints subordinates, he still asks Chen Gui for his opinion.

Holding the letter in one hand, Chen Gui stroked his beard lightly with the other, and said lightly, "Father, what other opinions do you have? The county guard wants to appoint the county captain of Huai'an, how can I object?"

Chen Deng frowned and said, "Father, don't you know that Gao Cheng was appointed as the County Captain of Huai'an? This man is narrow-minded and can't tolerate others. He dared to kill all the direct descendants of the Mei family for the sake of a mere [-] mu of land. And Chen Yuan His death is also inseparable from this person! With this person's character, he may already regard our Chen family as an enemy!"

"Could it be that because of this, the county guard appointed this person as the county captain, and let this person secretly become an enemy of our Chen family?"

Hearing this, Chen Gui couldn't help putting down the bamboo slips in his hand, and said, "Yuanlong, you've overcomplicated things. In order to wipe out the water thieves in Baima Lake, several other aristocratic families in the city had signaled to Huai'an, who can kill the water thieves?" Whoever makes a contribution to the thief will be appointed as the county lieutenant!"

"This is not only the county guard's acquiescence, but we also acquiesce! Now that Gao Cheng killed the thief leader and made a contribution, the county guard must of course follow the prior agreement and have nothing to do with our Chen family!"

"Furthermore, with the strength of our Chen family, is it still afraid that a small family in a county will fail? Gao Cheng killed Chen Yuan, it was Chen Yuan's own fault, I don't care about it, but if he really wants to make an enemy of our Chen family, Being a father will definitely let him know what regret is!"

Hearing this, Chen Deng nodded repeatedly.He is not the prefect of Guangling who defeated Sun Ce twice in the future, and he is a little less enthusiastic in doing things and thinking about problems.Hearing my father's precepts and deeds, I immediately felt that I had gained a lot.

"Since father said so, let Gao Cheng be proud of himself! If he dares to jump out and become an enemy of my Chen family, I don't need father to take action, I will personally deal with him!"

　I got a recommendation today, I hope my grades can improve a bit... Thank you Fengqingyinghan, a hundred million, G-dust settled, Fengzhongwenqing for your support!
