I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 79: If you don’t take it, how can we get promoted?
The morning sun rises in the east and the sky becomes bright.

Lu Jing woke up and stretched at the top of Xuedou Peak, then saw Song Yuheng, who had already woken up, cooking porridge like a young wife.

Smelling the aroma of the meat porridge, Lu Jing suddenly felt a little hungry.

Song Yuheng looked up at Lu Jing beside the campfire and said with a smile, "Wake up, go to the bottom of the pond, wash your face and prepare to eat."

Lu Jing: "Okay!"

He stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff and jumped, crashing into the pool below Xuedou Peak with a "bang".

The sound was as loud as a cannonball.

Song Yuheng: “…”

Is it so fierce so early in the morning?

Soon, Lu Jing came up after washing up.

Feeling refreshed, he took Song Yuheng's bowl and started eating.

Song Yuheng was much more polite. While eating, he said slowly, "I received a letter from my senior sister earlier. The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War and the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, as well as the Governor-General of Zhihang, will arrive in Lin'an to take up their posts soon."

Lu Jing was a little confused: "Huh?"

He raised his face from the bowl and said, "Song Tou'er, why are you telling me this?"

What the hell do I, a small flag officer without even a rank, know?

Song Yuheng got so angry seeing Lu Jing like that that she wanted to kick him.

You made such a big fuss in Ninghai, do you really think the higher-ups can't see it?
Song Yuheng said patiently, "The new governor of Yuhang has specifically requested to see you. You are going to be promoted."

Lu Jing instantly realized the reason and immediately expressed his loyalty: "Don't worry, Boss Song. Once a boss, always a boss! Don't worry, I will never have two hearts for you."

He discovered that although Song Yuheng was of a low position.

But the background behind him is not small.

Not to mention her identity as a student of Qilin Academy, the fact that she has so many inherited secret manuals in her storage ring shows that this Ms. Song is definitely not a simple person.

Anyway, it’s definitely right to hold on to the rich woman’s long legs.

Song Yuheng felt both angry and amused when she saw Lu Jing. Why did what this guy said just now sound so weird?

Moreover... this guy really doesn't understand the social etiquette of officialdom at all!

So Song Yuheng patiently explained to Lu Jing, "Senior Sister Pei said that the reason why the new governor specifically asked to see you is because Captain Xun and Captain Tang both praised you highly and jointly recommended you to serve as the commander of the Yuhang Zhen'an Guard and concurrently the captain of the Yuhang Demon Subduing Camp."

Lu Jing was stunned: "Why are you giving me such a big increase all at once?"

This is equivalent to directly promoting the captain of the county police brigade to the head of the provincial police station!
Lu Jing asked alertly: "Why do I feel something is wrong?"

Song Yuheng followed with a smile and said, "Of course something is wrong! Captain Xun and Captain Tang simultaneously applied to the Imperial Court to be transferred from Yuhang to the capital."

Lu Jing suddenly realized!

They are scared.

Then, seeing how powerful Lu Jing was before, he did Lu Jing a favor and promoted him before leaving, and also kept Lu Jing here to withstand the possible revenge of the tiger.

Lu Jing rubbed his chin. Although he got promoted and became rich, why did he feel a little unhappy?
Song Yuheng sighed: "This is the officialdom. But I suggest you don't accept such an arrangement!"

Lu Jing agreed immediately: "I'll listen to Boss Song!"

This made Song Yuheng stunned: "Do you trust me so much?"

Lu Jing smiled: "We have a life-long friendship, who else can I trust if I don't trust you?"

Song Yuheng was immediately delighted, but she still explained to Lu Jing: "First of all, although the two captains promoted you, it was like putting you on the fire. This is actually a small problem. Although Shanjun has achieved the ultimate magical power, his threat level has increased dramatically. The higher-ups will not sit idly by."

Crisis always involves both danger and opportunity.

Only those who dare to take on responsibilities can stand out from the crowd and rise to the top.

That’s how officialdom works.

So Song Yuheng comforted Lu Jing and told him that there was no need to bear a grudge against the two captains, as he might even get some benefits from it in the future.

After all, the talent and fighting power that Lu Jing displayed in the battle of Wuming Mountain were enough to shock people. Those two captains certainly did not want to offend Lu Jing, and they would definitely come over to apologize and give benefits after recommending him.

Song Yuheng: "This is how the human relationships and worldly wisdom are built."

Lu Jing rubbed his chin: "It's so troublesome." Can it be skipped?

Song Yuheng rolled her eyes at Lu Jing and said, "When you enter the officialdom in the future, these are compulsory lessons."

good good!
Lu Jing felt like he was having a headache now.

Song Yuheng continued, "The real reason why I asked you to refuse is that if you want to serve as the commander of the Yuhang Zhen'an Division, you will directly confront the conservatives. Especially our new governor, he is at war with the conservatives."

"So, you just need to accept the title of Captain of the Demon-Subduing Camp. Don't get involved with the local garrisons of the Zhen'an Division."

Lu Jing agreed immediately.

It feels so good to have a military advisor giving you advice!

No wonder Liu Bei loved Zhuge Liang so much.

After getting instructions from his own boss Song, Lu Jing followed Song Yuheng back to Luyang County.

On the same day he received a summons from Yuhang Governor Hu Yuxian.

Two days later, Lu Jing and Song Yuheng arrived at Lin'an Prefecture, Huicheng, Yuhang.

……

Lin'an Prefecture, in the official post station.

Just as Lu Jing had settled down with his own son Song, the servant of the official posthouse called out from outside the door: "My two lords, there are two lords outside the posthouse who want to meet you. Here is a visiting card."

Lu Jing opened the door and took a look. It was Captain Xun and Captain Tang.

Just like what Song Yuheng said a few days ago, these two knew that what they did was not so authentic, so when they arrived in Lin'an they would definitely pay a visit and apologize.

Lu Jing: "Let them in."

After saying that, Lu Jing went downstairs with Song Yuheng and came to the lobby of the inn.

When he went down, he happened to meet Captain Xun and Captain Tang who walked in. When they saw Lu Jing, they immediately walked quickly through the hall and bowed to Lu Jing and greeted him, "Brother Lu, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look even more energetic!"

Lu Jing also greeted the two of them with a smile.

When they sat down in the lobby, the two lieutenants said straight to the point, "Brother Lu, Captain Song, I think you all know the general situation."

"We are rough people, so we just say what we want to say."

"We two brothers definitely don't dare to stay in Yuhang anymore, so we asked the higher-ups to demote us and transfer us back to the capital. We two brothers recommend you and Captain Song to take charge of Yuhang."

“This is indeed not a very authentic thing to do!”

As he spoke, Captain Xun took out two plates of gold ingots from his storage ring and placed them on the table.

There are also two jade square boxes.

Captain Xun said proudly: "This is our brother's apology to you! Two thousand taels of gold. In addition, there are two pieces of heaven and earth treasures! Don't worry, this is all clean money."

"besides!"

Captain Xun then handed over a small golden bag and said, "This contains part of the money that our demon-conquering camp has seized from local gentry during the recent suppression of demon camps... We have divided it between the two of us. One for you, and another for our new governor."

Lu Jing: “?”

What is this operation?
This is corruption and bribery!

Lu Jing immediately said righteously: "I am not a hypocritical person, so I will accept the previous apology. But this one! Who do you think I am?"

Are you using this to test me?

I won’t accept it!
The two captains: "..."

Song Yuheng: “…”

Captain Xun was a little confused. He said, "Brother Lu, this is the benefit of our job. We have to share the spoils."

"If you don't take it, how can our brothers take it? If our brothers don't take it, how can Hu Butang take it?"

"If Minister Hu doesn't take it, how can we get promoted?"

There are many benefits to getting promoted, not only can you have a higher status and more power.

at the same time!

You can also obtain more cultivation resources!
