When Wang Chen chose to join the system of the Blood-Shirt Guards, he certainly did not go for the lowest-level guards.
His ambitions are actually extremely huge, and they are the kind that cannot be told to anyone.
But the promotion came so quickly, which was beyond Wang Chen's expectation.
Despite the fact that Xiaoqi is the smallest official position among the Xueyi Guards, and can only rule ten people at most, but he has the rank of military attache starting from the seventh rank.
Because he belongs directly to the Daliang royal family, his status is actually no less than that of a seventh-grade county magistrate!
Moreover, after having an official status, the superior officer can share part of the meritorious deeds performed by his subordinates.
Wang Chen killed Black Whirlwind Li Kui and gained a small merit. However, having a small merit does not mean that he can be promoted to Xiaoqi immediately. After all, there are still qualifications to pay attention to.
In addition, official positions cannot be added casually. Usually, there are carrots and holes. Only when the front seats are vacated can the ones behind them be filled in naturally.
In Linjiang Health Center, there are people who are qualified to serve as substitutes.
But this luck fell firmly on Wang Chen.
Five days later, Linjiang Guards Station received a reward order from Fucheng, and Wang Chen was promoted to the position of Xiaoqi.
However, he did not replace the Xiaoqi who died in the previous battle, but was promoted to the captain of the newly added sixth team of Linjiang Guards!
As for the vacant position of Xiaoqi, another senior guard will be promoted to it.
This relieved Wang Chen's pressure to a great extent.
Despite this, he still became the object of envy, jealousy and hatred among the blood-clad guards.
"congratulations!"
It was Lao Qiu who was really happy for Wang Chen. Although he regretted that he lacked a strong man under his command, he was still proud to see Wang Chen stand out so quickly.
Dong Zhihui, who was following him, was so jealous that his eyes almost bled.
Sixteen years old, Wang Chen is only sixteen years old!
A young boy, a newly promoted guard, actually climbed up to his head in just a few months.
This makes Dong Zhihui feel so embarrassed!
But he still had to try his best to smile and congratulate Wang Chen together with his colleagues.
"Captain Ling is right!"
A blood-clothed guard smiled and said: "Since you have been promoted to the flag, shouldn't you treat everyone to a drink?"
"Yeah!"
Everyone started cheering: "We must treat you!"
How can we eliminate the hatred in their hearts without letting Wang Chen shed some blood?
Wang Chen smiled and said: "No problem, let's go to Chunyue Tower tonight!"
"Chun Yue Tower!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
Although Linjiang is only a county seat, it is also an upper county within Taiping County. It has a large population and prosperous commerce, so it is natural that there are gold-selling dens such as brothels and gambling houses in the city.
Chunyue Tower is one of them, and its consumption is particularly high.
For ordinary blood-clad guards like them, one month's salary is not even enough to step into the lowest level of Chunyue Tower!
Wang Chen actually wanted to serve wine and entertain guests in Chunyue Tower. This arrogance was enough to dispel the resentment in many people's hearts.
"Captain Ling is..."
Dong Zhihui frowned and said, "Are you kidding? There are so many of us, can you afford to invite us to Chunyue Tower?"
In fact, there were not many people present, but Dong Zhihui had the intention of running against Wang Chen, because he used words to set a trap for the latter.
If Wang Chen said he could afford it, then he would bring a few more people over to make Wang Chen bleed hard.
If Wang Chen is bragging...
Then there will be a good show!
Wang Chen smiled and said: "I still have some silver to drink..."
He looked at Dong Zhihui meaningfully: "Brother Dong, don't worry, if I can't pay the money then, I won't leave you in Chunyue Tower washing dishes to pay off the debt!"
What Wang Chen said was interesting, and everyone around him laughed.
Dong Zhihui's face turned red.
He was shy and anxious, thinking of retorting, but a sharp gaze suddenly glanced at him.
It's Lao Qiu!
Dong Zhihui's swollen head suddenly woke up as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on it.
He has been with Lao Qiu for many years and knows very well that Xiao Qi looks easy to get along with on the surface, but in fact he is very ruthless.
Lao Qiu has made it clear that he supports Wang Chen. If he jumps out and sings the opposite at this moment to spoil the mood, will he be able to reap the benefits in the future?
Dong Zhihui immediately retracted his head.
Don't say anything anymore.
But because he had just spoken, Wang Chen had no intention of being vague, because he walked around the guardhouse and invited all the blood-clad guards he could invite.
Everyone was quite generous, and Wang Chen invited Chunyuelou, so four of the other five Xiaoqi were willing to support him, and the remaining one went out on a mission.
Of course, it was impossible for Wang Chen to overlook the boss of Linjiang Health Center—General Banner Pang Tai.
Wang Chen's promotion this time is inseparable from the two general banners.
One is Pang Tai, and the other is Mr. Xue Qi from Fucheng.
But Mr. Xue Qi returned to Fucheng three days ago.
"I have something important to do tonight, so I won't attend."
Pang Tai shook his head and said, "You all have fun."
Although the Huanglian Rebellion this time caused considerable losses to the guard station, it was finally controlled in time and did not cause a major disaster.
Moreover, the blood-clothed guards killed many believers, including a leader-level figure.
The merits and demerits were balanced, and the seat under Pang Tai's butt was still very secure.
He naturally had a good impression of Wang Chen, who had made great contributions, and he didn't want to ruin the interest of his subordinates by attending the banquet in person, so he found an excuse to politely decline.
After all, it is better for superiors and subordinates to keep a little distance!
Pang Tai did not go, which did not surprise Wang Chen. He immediately handed over a letter he had prepared and placed it in front of the other party.
"This is a small thought from my subordinate, please accept it."
Pang Tai was a little surprised, then he laughed in surprise, raised his hand and nodded twice at Wang Chen: "Forget it, I won't do it next time!"
Although the salary of the blood-clothed guards is not low, it is far from enough to cover the expenditure on martial arts training.
If you want to maintain your strength or even improve your level, you must either have family support, or you must find a way to make money on your own.
There are actually quite a lot of opportunities for the Bloody Guards to fish for foreign money.
The most profitable thing is to confiscate your home.
It's just that the chances of having a house raided are very rare, and you may not encounter it once every year or so, and there are too many people and too little food.
The second is the battle gains. Under normal circumstances, part of the confiscated loot is allowed to be kept for yourself.
Otherwise, how many people are willing to fight to the death?
As a superior officer, Pang Tai often received respect from his subordinates.
If Wang Chen didn't give it, he wouldn't be short of the money, but he would definitely have a grudge in his heart, and he would definitely feel that Wang Chen shouldn't have a close friendship.
Now that Wang Chen offered it, Pang Tai didn't want Wang Chen to feel embarrassed, so he accepted it calmly.
After Wang Chen said goodbye and left, the blood-clad Wei Zongqi opened the envelope on the table, took out a silver medal from it, and read the denomination clearly.
He was more satisfied.
There are really not many young people with such potential, smartness and sense left nowadays!
