After killing Zhou Zhenbing to avenge Shangsha Village, Gu Yuan rushed back to Zhenhuo Hall without stopping.
Yi Wen and Yi Wu have also returned to the True Fire Hall.
According to the usual practice, after Gu Yuan returns to the True Fire Hall, he must first go to the Flying Eagle Hall to recover.
But when Gu Yuan returned to the Flying Eagle Hall, he heard Li Cheng say that Cao Meng, the leader of Yi Banner, was back.
Fei Yingwei has two Qi Gathering Pills every month, while Xiao Qi Zhang has five Qi Gathering Pills every month. When Gu Yuan left, he just happened to catch up with Qili giving out Qi Gathering Pills.
Because Gu Yuan was away, Li Cheng went to help Gu Yuan get the Qi Gathering Pill, but was insulted by Li Heizi in a weird way.
Li Heizi said that now Gu Yuan was only acting as the flag commander and could not pay according to the flag commander's treatment, so he only gave Li Cheng four Qi Gathering Pills.
Li Cheng had no choice but to bring these four Qi Gathering Pills back first in order to put an end to the problem.
Gu Yuan didn¡¯t say anything after hearing this, he just wrote down the account in his mind.
?According to Li Cheng, Cao Meng was originally on a mission in another place, but this time he came back specially to participate in the promotion competition for inner disciples.
He was obviously a little surprised when he heard that Commander Zhou gave Yiqi's little flag leader to Gu Yuan. He wanted to see Gu Yuan as soon as he came back, most likely because he wanted to give Gu Yuan a beating.
But it was a pity that Gu Yuan was helping Yi Wen and Yi Wu do sect tasks and was not in the True Fire Hall. Cao Meng did not see him.
Today, Gu Yuan came back. When Cao Meng found out, he asked Gu Yuan to see him.
Cao Meng is the leader of a banner, and Gu Yuan is the commander of a small banner under him. Gu Yuan should indeed go to see him.
But after all, Gu Yuan had a conflict with Li Heizi, Cao Meng's close confidant. At this juncture when Gu Yuan had just become the flag commander, Cao Meng probably had bad intentions when he wanted to see Gu Yuan.
Cao Meng is waiting for Gu Yuan in the side hall of Feiying Palace. This side hall is also where Yiqi handles official business.
When Gu Yuan arrived at the side hall, not only Cao Meng was there, but also Li Heizi and several of his men.
Li Heizi and the others originally looked at Gu Yuan with displeasure, but now that they saw Gu Yuan walking in, they immediately stood up and said fiercely: "Gu Yuan, you really dare to come!" "
Gu Yuan looked at Li Heizi coldly: "I am the flag commander of Yiqi. Why am I afraid to come? What's the matter? Does this place eat people?"
Cao Meng frowned and knocked on the table: "Li Song, what are you doing? You take the brothers out first, Gu Yuan and I have something to say!"
Li Heizi and the others glared at Gu Yuan unwillingly, and then walked out of the side hall cursing.
Due to etiquette, Gu Yuan raised his left hand and nodded slightly as a courtesy.
Cao Meng waved his hand, not paying attention, but said lightly:
"Gu Yuan, right? I've heard from you that although Commander Zhou asked you to be the commander of our flag, you have been here for too short a time and have not made any achievements.
¡°If you were suddenly made the flag leader like this, I¡¯m afraid even the brothers below wouldn¡¯t be convinced. "
Seeing that Gu Yuan was about to speak, Cao Meng raised his hand to stop him.
"Gu Yuan, since you have come and we are united, we will be brothers from now on. Don't worry, I will cherish every cent of you."
Seeing Gu Yuan swallowing his words, Cao Meng picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and spoke in an official tone:
"It's just that the situation of our banner is more complicated. I have already made an agreement with Commander Zhou. As for you, you should be the acting commander of the banner for the time being. You will be promoted to the commander of the banner after you have made meritorious service, so that no one will gossip. ¡±
Gu Yuan smiled coldly, she was waiting for him here.
But he himself was not interested in this little flag leader, so he didn't say anything more, but said straightforwardly: "Okay, then I understand. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and left. Before he could reach the door, Cao Meng spoke again.
"Hey, Gu Yuan, what are you in a hurry for? Wait, I still have something to say."
Seeing that Gu Yuan was about to leave, Cao Meng asked to leave him behind, then he slowly took a sip of hot tea, then put the teacup on the table, thought for a moment and spoke again:
"Gu Yuan, you have just joined the Eagle Guard, and your cultivation level is low. You can't do much except patrolling, but patrolling is difficult to achieve meritorious service."
"Well, there is a good errand for you to do now. As long as you do it well, you will be able to make meritorious deeds. Then you will be promoted to the rank of flag leader."
Gu Yuan looked at Cao Meng quietly without saying anything.
Cao Meng frowned slightly and said, "What? Aren't you willing to go?"
Gu Yuan¡¯s faceWith an expression on his face, he followed Cao Meng's words and asked, "Cao Qi leader, you haven't said yet what the errand is."
Cao Meng picked up the tea bowl again and blew it carefully.
At the same time, he looked at Gu Yuan out of the corner of his eyes.
He found that the new Gu Yuan was not stage frightened and showed no restraint when talking to him.
When he answered his questions, he looked neither humble nor arrogant, vaguely carrying the aura of a superior, as if he had seen the world.
¡° If Cao Meng hadn¡¯t found someone to find out Gu Yuan¡¯s background in advance, he would have thought that Gu Yuan was an heir trained from some big family.
"Ahem."
Cao Meng put down the tea cup, cleared his throat, and then said:
"This errand is very simple. But if you do it well, the credit will be quite big."
"Our True Fire Hall, I don't need to say more, you understand that our family has a big business, and the law enforcement elders in some places will definitely not be able to take care of it. Take the dining hall as an example, it costs tens of thousands of taels of silver every month , if something happens to you, you will have to pay hundreds of thousands of taels!"
Cao Meng's expression was a little solemn, and he put on a serious look.
"The dining hall is responsible for the food issues of the entire Zhenhuo Hall. They have small kitchens everywhere. The accounts of these small kitchens are very messy. Some disciples of the dining hall secretly use the elixirs and ferocious beast meat used to cook ingredients. Wait, secretly take it out and sell it for silver coins to line your own pockets."
"Originally, no one cares about these matters, but due to the recent internal rectification of our True Fire Hall, the elders of the Law Enforcement Department want to find out these morons. The higher-ups are also putting pressure on us and want us to investigate this matter. matter."
Cao Meng put on a posture of considering Gu Yuan, and even his expression looked sincere.
"I have thought about this matter and it is most suitable for you to do it. Now that you are about to be promoted to the rank of flag leader, there will definitely be a lot of people who are not convinced.
Secondly, you can also use this opportunity to show your face in front of the elders. Maybe one of the elders will take a fancy to you and accept you as an inner disciple? "
Cao Meng looked at Gu Yuan, waiting for Gu Yuan's answer.
In fact, Gu Yuan knew very well in his heart that as long as he was the Flying Eagle Guard, he had to obey Cao Meng's orders. There was nothing to discuss about this. He had to go whether he wanted to or not!
Going to check out the canteen is an offending job.
Without even thinking about it, it must be Cao Menggong seeking personal revenge. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
