The road to immortality is difficult, bones build immortality

In order to stabilize the situation in Beiman Mountain, Diao Ye had to act like he was seeking revenge on the surface.

He ordered the kidnapping of Young Master Zhao, the youngest son of the city lord, to use this as a bargaining chip to deter the bandits who were ready to take action.

However, he privately hinted to his closest associates not to act rashly.

In order to avoid really angering the Lord of Jincheng and causing unnecessary trouble to himself.

However, Diao Ye's wishful thinking went too far.

What he never expected was the confidants of the incoming leader.

Those bandits who didn't really obey his orders actually went beyond his sight and went down the mountain without permission to kidnap Mr. Zhao!

This move undoubtedly put a black mark on Diao Ye's face.

This put Master Diao into an unprecedented embarrassing situation.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to consolidate his position, but unexpectedly, he almost ruined his future and life.

Therefore, he had to hurriedly send someone to plot the matter with the city lord, hoping to find a solution that had the best of both worlds.

In this bandit suppression operation in Jincheng, Diao Ye transferred all the disobedient bandits to dangerous places to guard the mountain gate.

In fact, it was Diao Ye who was preparing to eliminate those disobedient bandits.

In this way, the Lord of Jincheng can not only earn military merits for suppressing bandits, but also enhance his reputation and status;

He can save his son and save the family's face; he can also secretly conquer Beiman Mountain, a large force.

This can be said to be killing three birds with one stone, and the city lord is naturally happy to see this happen.

For Diao Ye, this operation is also an excellent opportunity for him to get out of trouble.

Not only could he successfully survive this siege crisis.

You can also take this opportunity to eliminate all disobedient bandits and consolidate your position.

More importantly, he also got in touch with the Lord of Jincheng City.

The lord of Jincheng City is a man with a lot of troops and great power.

The city lord promised that after the matter was completed, he could be given the position of a fifth-grade bold captain.

This is undoubtedly great news for Diao Ye.

From then on, he could clear his identity and become an official of the Jingguo court.

Sitting in Beimang Mountain, he became a veritable "King of the Mountain".

The rank of fifth-grade Guogan Colonel is already quite high in Jingguo's general system.

You must know that in this vanguard army, the Huben Colonel Wang is only a fifth-rank official.

According to Jingguo's military general official position system, the ninth rank is the captain of the team, which is just a squad leader of fifty people. The deputy of the captain is the ninth rank;

The eighth grade is a centurion, able to control hundreds of people;

The seventh rank is Sima, who is barely a middle-level general and can command hundreds of people.

The untitled school captain is the sixth rank, which is already considered a big official position. He has over a thousand troops under his command;

And those with titles, such as the fifth-grade official title of Kokang Colonel, can barely be regarded as senior generals, and can command thousands of soldiers.

Going up further, from the fourth rank to the participating generals, to the fourth rank to the partial generals, they command tens of thousands of troops and are the real high-level military officials.

The third rank is Lord Jiedushi, also known as Junhou.

For example, the lord of Jincheng is a third-grade military envoy. He sits in charge of Jincheng and is titled the general on the border. He holds a large number of troops and has overwhelming power.

The second rank is the Grand Marshal of the Army, and is held by a member of the Jingguo royal family;

As for the first rank, it is a false position, usually a posthumous title, given to some deceased ministers who have made great achievements.

Therefore, Master Diao is naturally particularly concerned about Mr. Zhao's safety.

He sent his absolute confidant Tieniu and placed Mr. Zhao in the absolutely safe back mountain to guard him, just waiting for the day when the time was right.

After Qingchen digested the news, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

In the eyes of those in power, the lives of thousands of people are just pawns on a chessboard.

It can be sacrificed and abandoned at any time.

This kind of coldness and ruthlessness also gave Qingchen a chill.

Compared with them, Qingchen may be considered a "good person".

However, he also knew that these things actually had nothing to do with him Qingchen.

The point is, if this war were fought this way, it wouldn't be tragic at all.

The real main force on both sides did not take action at all, so how could Qingchen sneak into the meeting hall of Beiman Mountain?

Qingchen knew that there was something he was looking for hidden in that hall, something that could change the fate of Qingchen's life!

The position of the boss is actually a mechanism.

This secret was told by the seriously injured Jiang Hu Ke. Maybe he was the confidant of the big boss back then.

Just press the talons of the Beimang Sky Eagle on the wall of the hall and it will rotate according to specific rules.

The chairs in the hall will pop up, revealing the secret room inside.

Suddenly, Qingchen seemed to have forgotten something and turned to look at the thatched house.

He quickly summoned two of his soldiers.

Pointing at the two bandits who were tied like rice dumplings, his eyes showed unquestionable determination.

Qingchen did say that he would not kill them, but if his men killed them, it had nothing to do with Qingchen.

The soldiers understood and immediately stepped forward.

The sharp blade in his hand flashed through like lightning, killing these two guys cleanly.

Then they throw it away like trash.

Throwing the corpses of the bandits off the cliff, they were left to shatter to pieces in the valley.

After finishing processing, Qingchen led two soldiers and walked quickly towards the thatched house.

He opened the door and walked in. The sight in front of him surprised him.

Inside the thatched house, a man curled up in a ball, shivering, and kept muttering:

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, my father is Zhao Erhe, who has been promoted to a higher position and has been a duke for generations."

The voice was full of fear and despair, like a drowning man struggling desperately.

Trying to grab the last straw, there was still some fishy smell in the thatched house.

Qingchen looked at the disheveled and dusty Mr. Zhao in front of him, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He said slowly,

"Mr. Zhao, you are really a noble man who forgets things. I am not a bandit, I am the thug you met in the brothel that day.

I also helped you stop the fleeing female bandit, and now I am the centurion of the vanguard army of the City Lord's Mansion to attack Beimang Mountain."

Hearing Qingchen's words, Mr. Zhao's eyes suddenly became dull, as if struck by lightning.

He raised his head suddenly, stared at Qingchen with wide eyes, and a glimmer of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Then, he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.

He grasped Qingchen's sleeves tightly with both hands like iron pliers, and said in a trembling voice:

"Save me, save me! I will give you an official position, give you money, and give you everything! As long as you save me, I am willing to give you everything!"

Qingchen looked at Mr. Zhao's anxious and fearful eyes, and an inexplicable pleasure surged in his heart.

This feeling of controlling the fate of a person who was originally higher in status than himself made Qingchen feel excited.
