Above the stars

At Fenghuang's seventeenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, Zhong Daolong, in order to thank Tang Bandit for saving his daughter, publicly promised him a future.

I originally thought it would be a few years later, but I didn't expect that through Tang Bandi's personal talent and hard work and the hard work of his master Xuanyuan Mingjing, this day would come so quickly.

Now, the opportunity was before him.

As long as Tang Bandit opens his mouth, he can get what countless people dream of.

Power, the rejuvenation elixir for women, the elixir for men's virility.

Is there anything more touching than this?

Zhong Daolong leaned back and leaned comfortably on the thick leather sofa. The cigar in his hand was burning wantonly, exuding a strong tobacco smell.

His eyes were gentle and firm, giving people a deep sense of conviction. This is the basic accomplishment of a person in a position of authority. A leader who cannot be trusted by his subordinates is unlikely to last long.

His eyes fell lightly on Tang Bandit, waiting for his answer.

Tang Bandit bowed deeply to Zhong Daolong and said in a deep voice: "I don't want anything, and I can't want anything."

"Huh?" Zhong Daolong raised his eyebrows slightly, not satisfied with the answer.

Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. I give it to you, how can you refuse?

"The fact that I can come from the precarious old land to the new star and live a stable life with no worries about food and clothing is already a great blessing from the emperor. Without the king, there would be nothing for me."

"After coming to Xinxing, I have received repeated care from the king and several highnesses. Her Royal Highness the princess gave me a house, and the second prince gave me a car. Although I haven't given it yet, I believe that the second prince will keep his promise."

"The eldest prince also gave me the precious guns he carries with him. Each one is a priceless gift."

"My brother and I were originally two helpless refugees. Xinxing was the legendary paradise to us. Later, we entered the most advanced university in the empire. My brother Xiaopang was accepted as a student by Dean Shang Xiulin, and I also I am lucky enough to be accepted as a disciple by the great master."

These are public information, things that everyone knows, so Tang Bandit did not hide anything.

Everything he said was true, the only thing he hid was his own ambition.

"I have everything that I should have. I also have everything that I shouldn't have. I feel that I already have too much, and I really don't know what else to ask for from the country."

"If you still dare to speak shamelessly to the country, then you are greedy and shameless."

Zhong Daolong's eyes became deep, and he looked at Tang Bandit thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of these words.

He had heard so many flattery words that his ears were getting calloused, but none of them were as straightforward and honest as what this young man said.

Because everything he said was true. Without his help, he would still be fighting mutant beasts in the old land, living a life of darkness and despair.

However, he gave him a chance, which changed his and his brother's fate drastically.

He was willing to believe Tang Bandit and his gratitude.

It would be better if he wasn't staring at his baby girl all the time.

"I understand what you mean." Zhong Daolong adjusted his glasses and grinned.

He stood up and walked to Tang Bandit, patted his shoulder hard, and said, "You are a child who knows how to be grateful. Only children who know how to be grateful can go further."

"But, as I said just now, you are not joking. If I don't fulfill the promise I made back then, wouldn't that be a breach of trust? People cannot stand without trust. You don't want me to be a dishonest leader, right?"

"I don't dare to hold such a low position." The Tang bandit was frightened.

"Look, everyone has started to call themselves a "lower job". Doesn't it prove that you entered the world very quickly? "Zhong Daolong said with a smile.

He walked back to the sofa and sat down. After taking a puff of his cigar, he raised his head again and looked at Tang Bandit. He said in a deep voice: "Since you are unwilling to make demands yourself, then I will choose a position for you. Go to the Supervisory Yuan. Bar."

"Supervisory Council?" Tang Bandit asked with a puzzled expression, pretending to be surprised.

Sure enough, it was completely consistent with the old man's guess.

When the royal family and the nine major families were at odds with each other, turmoil arose, and the friction became increasingly serious, the royal family finally became unbearable.

They needed a pair of scissors to prune the nine large trees.

The lush branches and leaves block the majesty of the sun shining on the earth.

Everyone only knows that there are trees, but not that there is light.

You need to make it simpler and look more pleasing to the eye.

"What? You don't want to?"

"No, no, I said, no matter what the king sends, I am the king's sword. Wherever the king swings, I will cut."

Tang Bandit explained aloud: "I'm just worried about missing the important matter of the country's leader. I have never done any supervision, and I don't even know what the Supervisory Yuan does."

"You can learn if you don't understand. As long as you are willing to work hard, I believe you can do this promising job well."

"Yes." Tang Bandit stopped refusing and said simply: "I will follow the arrangement of the king."

"Yes. I remember that you also hold the title of deputy captain of the Guards."

"Yes." Tang Bandit smiled honestly and said sheepishly: "It's really shameful to be paid all the time without working a day."

"Isn't this useful? The royal family will never be stingy with rewards for those who are loyal to the country and the royal family."

Zhong Daolong pondered for a moment and said: "Let's do this. You will continue to hold the position of deputy captain of the Palace Guards. You can come to the palace to report to me easily in the future. Then go to the Supervisory Council and serve as a squad leader, so that you can be promoted to a higher level. , it’s a matter of course”

"Aren't you familiar with Zhong Jiayuan from the Fifth Division? Then go work under him. What do you think about him being able to help take care of anything?"

Tang Bandit thought to himself, before I came over, you had already arranged my position, right?

You even know about my dealings with Zhong Jiayuan, and you still pretend to let me make the request myself?

If I am not talking about the Overwatch Council, then I am ignorant of current affairs and do not understand the Sacred Heart. You don’t dare to entrust me with such an important job, right?

"Yes." Tang Bandi bowed and said, "I am willing to devote myself to the Lord of the country until my death."

"Hahaha, I don't need you to die, I want you to live and share the glory and wealth with me." Zhong Daolong laughed loudly: "Okay, you can step back. After your deployment order is issued, you can go directly Oversight Council report. I will have someone arrange it for you."

"Yes." Tang Bandi bowed again, then turned and walked out of the room.

Zhong Daolong looked at his back as he left, with a slight smile on his lips.

A tall, lean middle-aged man stooped and walked in, and said with a smile: "Master, is this the warrior you sent to our Overwatch Council?"

"Old Yan, what do you think?" Zhong Daolong asked aloud as he looked at the Director of the Overwatch Council who he had lifted up in front of him.

"An orphan from the old land has no foundation on the new star. He has offended the Qin family and the Yu family. The Shen family wants his life. Shen Xinglan is promoted to the junior master and takes action again. He will die or not."

"If you want to survive and rise to the sky, the best way is to learn martial arts and sell it to the emperor's family. Only the royal family can protect him. He is also ambitious, how could he refuse such a temptation? ?”

"If you have a king but no father, you can be a hawk or a dog."

Yan Wenli was nicknamed "Mad Dog". As long as he was bitten by the royal family, no matter how hard the bones were, he would pounce on them, bite blood from the target, tear off the flesh, and leave them dead without a burial place.

He described Tang Bandit as an "eagle dog", that is, someone like him.

"If you have a king but no father, you can be like a hawk and a dog." Zhong Daolong chewed this comment in his mouth, his eyes sparkled, and said: "If he can really pick off a few heads for me, I will also give him a good show." Heaven’s wealth.”

"But. Is he trustworthy?" Yan Wenli adjusted the small glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked in a deep voice.

"Does he have a better choice?" Zhong Daolong said with gloomy eyes: "If he doesn't make a sharp knife, he is just a fish. If he is smart enough, he knows what choice he should make."

"I understand." Yan Wenli nodded and said, "When he enters the Supervisory Yuan, I will give him two cases to test his loyalty."

"Yeah." Zhong Daolong nodded and asked, "Is there any good bait?"

"I heard that he has a good relationship with the Lu family." Yan Wenli said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord, arrangements have been made for him."

"Old Yan, I can rest assured that you will do the work." Zhong Daolong looked at Yan Wenli with a pleased look on his face and said, "However, I have been slacking off a bit in the past few years. If a tree is not pruned, it will not become useful. The scissors of the Supervisory Yuan must still be diligent. It just needs to be managed properly.”

Yan Wenli bowed and said, "Master, I know what to do."

When he raised his head again, his expression was excited and his eyes were shining.

He knew that a real war was about to begin.

Yan Wenli, holding a sharp sword in his left hand and a code of law in his right hand, killed the enemies whose heads were like claws and whose bones were as heavy as Mount Fu.

This time, his target is the nine major families.

Tang Bandi walked to the door and saw Chen Fenglei standing outside. When he was about to ask him to send a car to take him back, Chen Fenglei said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the eldest prince has sent someone to invite you and wants to have a chat with you."

He pointed to a guard in black waiting beside him and said loudly: "Go with him."

"Okay." Tang Bandi nodded with a smile and said, "When I come back this time, I haven't had time to pay my respects to His Highness the First Prince."

Since you want to hug the thighs, one is a hug, and both are also hugs.

He wants to side with the royal family and start a war with the nine major families, and the support of the eldest prince as the crown prince is essential.

The strange thing is, why has the second prince been silent recently?

Could it be that the two brothers have reconciled as before? The second prince has completely given up on the idea of ​​taking over the throne?

No, he won't allow it.
