"Be an official!"

Li Rui felt his heart heat up after hearing this.

Folk saying.

Everything is inferior, only reading is superior.

But it should be further said that the only way to achieve high status is to be an official.

Studying is to become an official!

If you can be an official, who wants to hang out in the world?

Do people like him and Zhang Yang not like being officials?

Of course it's because there is no chance at all.

There are roughly two ways for officials in the Yu State to become officials. One is through the imperial examination. Civil and military examinations are the only way out for children from poor families. The other is through the recommendation of nobles.

Ten years in a cold window are not as good as a word from a noble person.

Being an official requires someone in the court.

That's the truth.

If you can get the appreciation of a senior official, you can skip the imperial examination and directly become a scholar.

Zhang Yang rubbed his hands: "Officials of the Annan Army, you are so comfortable!"

The Annan Army is in charge of the Jianghu forces in Yunzhou and several surrounding states. There is no doubt that it has great power.

If I could find an official position in the Annan Army, I would meet Dao Xiong again in the future.

That is to sit in the upper seat, and Dao Xiong toasts himself in turn!

"Brother Li, there is no age limit this time. The candidates are all personally selected by Alliance Leader Ning. There is no shady background. We need to prepare early."

Li Rui's heart moved.

Achievements inherently have the "appearance of general and entry".

And being an official is much safer than being in the Jianghu, let alone the Annan Army.

At the border of Yunzhou.

Who dares to provoke Annan's army?

If you don't talk about him far away, just talk about Wei Ming. Li Rui sees it clearly. Even though Wei Ming appears to be friendly and approachable, in fact he doesn't look down on anyone in his heart.

Just say it.

"It's not aimed at anyone, everyone here is rubbish."

This is all the confidence given by Annan Army!

Qinghe New Town.

General's Mansion.

The craftsmen and the conscripted corvees were carrying bricks and stones in a hurry, creating a fiery scene.

Wei Ming placed his right hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

The matter of the monsters has almost been dealt with, and now supervising the construction of the new general's mansion is the top priority, and we can't be careless in the slightest.

He spent most of his time in New City working as an overseer.

At this time.

A clear male voice sounded from behind:

"Brother Wei, long time no see."

When Wei Ming turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man with a tall and straight figure, dressed in gold-patterned black clothes.

He looked happy:

"Brother Ning."

The person in front of him is none other than Ning Zhongtian, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance and one of the security guards.

Ning Zhongtian punched Wei Ming in the chest: "Remember to call me Lord Guard when you meet me in the future!"

Wei Ming clutched his chest and said sourly: "The sixth-grade punch, it really hurts."

As the saying goes.

If you are not afraid of brothers suffering, you are afraid of brothers being victorious against tigers.

Seeing that the brother he used to piss with has now become his immediate boss is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Ning Zhongtian was very proud:

"Don't be upset, just break through if you have the ability."

Wei Ming rolled his eyes.

Is a breakthrough something he wants?

Wei Ming was a little surprised: "If Lei Tou and Cao are not dealt with, why do you still want to come to Anning Guard?"

Ning Zhongtian was helpless:

"There are only a few positions in the Annan Army. If you don't come to Anning Guard, you will have to wait for at least five years."

Wei Ming deeply agreed.

Unlike those frontier troops, the Annan Army rarely suffered casualties, let alone officers.

A seat is often occupied for more than ten years.

Anyone who can become an officer does not have the support of a big boss. It is very difficult to get these intricate people to move their butts.

In most cases, you just have to work hard to gain qualifications.

He has been waiting for the position of general flag for three years.

Wei Ming was a little gloating: "Now that you are here, you will have to live with your tail between your legs from now on."

He could even guess Ning Zhongtian's future development path.

First, settle the levels in An Ning Guard and act as a defender. As long as he stays in An An for a few years, Lei Yong will find a way to transfer Ning Zhongtian to his Youyun Guard.

Ning Zhongtian could tell Wei Ming's thoughts at a glance:

"Do you know who is joining the army of our An Ning Guard?"

Wei Ming was startled and quickly asked: "Have you decided to join the army?"

The army of Yu State has always been composed of one civil servant and one military commander.

The seventeen guards of the Annan Army are all equipped with one staff general and one soldier. The two are of equal rank and check and balance each other.

The general is responsible for the daily training of troops and horses and the command during wartime.

Joining the army is responsible for food, ammunition, and supervision.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of joining the army was to prevent soldiers from appearing in the imperial army who only recognized the general and did not know the affairs of the king, thereby preventing anyone from relying on the army to respect themselves and eliminating any possibility of rebellion.

But before Wei Ming came to Qinghe, the candidates to join the army had not yet been decided.

According to legend, several big shots are vying for this position.

General Xue was not easy to offend, so the matter had been put on hold and remained unresolved for a long time.

Ning Zhongtian smiled proudly and deliberately kept things secret.

Wei Ming felt extremely itchy and urged: "My Lord Guard, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly."

"Call daddy."

"Get lost, motherfucker."

Ning Zhongtian said: "It's Elder Jiang from Huaqing Sect."

"Jiang Linxian?!"

Wei Ming's eyes widened.

Jiang Linxian became a member of the Anning Guard, which was unexpected. After all, Jiang Linxian has never participated in politics.

Ning Zhongtian narrowed his eyes: "I heard from General Lei that this matter is decided by His Majesty."

Once I heard it, I decided to go on a pilgrimage.

Wei Ming murmured.

"They are all gods, we can't afford to offend them."

Behind Lieutenant General Cao Wei is the Fifth Prince, and the Emperor personally appointed and dismissed him from the position of Lieutenant General. This move is very interesting.

Ning Zhongtian: "Those are the affairs of the big men, but Elder Jiang has a good relationship with General Lei. Before I came, General Lei told me to listen to Elder Jiang in everything."

Wei Ming nodded.

With Jiang Linxian's protection, Ning Zhongtian really doesn't have to live under someone else's roof and behave himself.

He reminded Wei Ming:

"Old Wei, don't think that our An Ning Guard is an easy job. I heard that the guys of the Ghost Nether Sect are so bold that they dared to steal the dragon energy of the Yu Kingdom. They are clearly going to rebel!"

"For this reason, our Majesty has made a statement that no apostates will be left alive."

Wei Ming grinned:

"These lunatics, Daxuan has been destroyed for thousands of years, do they really think they can restore the country?"

"Who knows."

Ning Zhongtian replied, and then patted Wei Ming on the shoulder: "Let's go, follow me to the Tiandi League."

Wei Ming certainly knew.

In addition to his identity as a garrison, Ning Zhongtian is also the leader of the Tiandi League.

The court is not opposed to such things, but the court's affairs must be given priority, otherwise the censors of the Censorate will not be vegetarians.

It was also by chance that Ning Zhongtian helped Lei Yong solve a difficult problem.

That's why he was valued by Lei Yong and recruited into the Annan Army.

Although he has not participated much in the affairs of the Tiandi League, his identity as the leader has always been there.

Wei Ming has guessed Ning Zhongtian's thoughts.

"Aren't you afraid that others will accuse you of nepotism?"

Ning Zhongtian sneered:

"Pedant."

"Am I nepotism?"

"I clearly promote the virtuous and not avoid relatives, and appoint people based on merit!"
