In the conference hall, the sound of fingers tapping on the table continued to echo.
After Yan Kuangshan and Mr. He walked out of the room, Qin Fan did not speak again.
And when Qin Fan didn't take the initiative to speak, Mo Xingzhi and Xiao Yuan didn't dare to speak out.
At this time, sweat continued to slide down their cheeks to the ground. From the corner of their eyes, they could faintly see Qin Fan's slender fingers still tapping the table rhythmically.
Looking further up, you can only see a cold mask.
At this moment, the two of them stood up at the same time, bowed slightly, and lowered their heads deeply, as if this posture could protect them from the pressure brought by Qin Fan to the greatest extent.
Qin Fan glanced at the two of them in confusion. He did not deliberately give the other party a blow.
After confirming the candidates recommended by the Mohists and Strategists, he used all his intelligence channels to conduct an extremely detailed investigation on the two people.
It stands to reason that the scribes in the court always have a condescending attitude towards the people in the arena. In their chain of contempt, the so-called forces in the arena are inferior to even the most vulgar generals.
But those were some scribes who either pretended to be noble or had overwhelming power.
But the two people in front of me do not fall into this category.
Before Qin Fan stated the requirements for the candidates, they were just ordinary minor officials in the Mo family and Zongheng family.
Most of my daily work involves sorting out books, occasionally doing some copying, or serving as a lecturer in some schools.
The so-called ambitions and ambitions have long been worn away by the passage of time.
They have a clear self-awareness and do not think too highly of themselves, but at the same time they also have their own persistence in their own doctrines.
When it comes to these two people, they have some talent, but their lack of tact caused them to miss the most critical period of growth. As more and more rising stars come up, they are gradually forgotten in the corner.
The arrogance of the literati has been completely wiped out by various experiences over the years.
Therefore, the two of them attach great importance to this opportunity, and it can be said that this may be the only opportunity to change their lives.
Therefore, part of the pressure they feel now comes from Qin Fan's power that he has not deliberately restrained, and part of it comes from themselves.
The sound of fingers tapping on the table lasted for another stick of incense. At this moment, both of their clothes were almost soaked with sweat.
Crunch——
The door of the conference hall suddenly opened.
Walking in were a woman in black and red armor and a young man in blue and white armor.
"Sang Chifang, Lu Qing." Qin Fan nodded and introduced to Mo Xingzhi and Xiao Yuan, "They will be your most important helpers in the future."
The two of them bowed politely to the second of the three generals of the Rogue Cultivator. After returning the courtesy, the four of them sat down one after another at Qin Fan's signal.
"The first is the Xuanfei Territory." Qin Fan looked at Mo Xingzhi, "The situation there is very complicated. There is a force called the Sanxiang Alliance, and behind it is the Qinglong Pavilion."
Mo Xingzhi nodded, his expression not too surprised. Before coming here to take over as the city lord, the Mo family's intelligence system had already investigated some of the situations here.
"The Sanxiang Alliance has been operating in this area for a long time, and some officials and some members of the Six Gates are very close to it, so you, the city lord, may be sidelined if you are not careful.
It may even happen that we use some small tricks to throw some dirty water on you and then use this to drive you back to the Xuanhuang Realm."
"Please teach me, Lord Ghost." Mo Xingzhi stood up and bowed respectfully to Qin Fan.
Qin Fan did not answer immediately, but looked at Lu Qing and said:
"Breakthrough?"
Lu Qing nodded.
"Are you sure you want to choose the path of military formation?"
Lu Qing nodded again and said firmly:
"My qualifications may be good for some ordinary warriors, but compared with real geniuses, they are still far behind."
Qin Fan actually had a different idea about this.
As one of the three great generals, Qing Pheasant, Lu Qing is also the youngest among the three. He is only thirty years old now, and his previous background as a casual cultivator means that his resources in all aspects cannot keep up.
But after practicing hard in the ghost market recently, I have been able to successfully break through to the innate realm.
This talent is incomparable to Feng Hua Xueyue, but one must know that the two sons of Buddhism and Taoism, who were rumored to be the strongest of the younger generation in the world, were only in the middle to late stage of the Xiantian Realm in terms of external combat prowess.
A thirty-year-old in the early Xiantian realm can be considered a genius level figure among some top forces.
But Lu Qing didn't seem to have this self-awareness. Of course, it could also be that before Feng Mo left, he drank with him several times and was shocked by the strength that this alcoholic lunatic showed unintentionally.
Then Lu Qing also noticed that Qin Fan seemed not satisfied with this answer, so he added:
"The power of an innate realm is too inconspicuous in the ghost city, and now the ghost city lacks talents who specialize in military formations. I have had the experience of commanding casual cultivators in combat several times, so I sincerely ask the Lord Ghost to give me this opportunity!"
After Qin Fan was silent for a moment, he took out a token and said:
"Go to Taoyuan Town to find Zhao Zilong, he will give you three thousand people.
Before leaving, you need to redeem a set of military training methods, but you have spent all your contribution points before breaking through the Xiantian realm. Now it is a special situation, so I allow you to spend it in advance."
"Yes!" Lu Qing took the token respectfully, with a blood-colored cloud imprinted on it, and a 'one' engraved on the back!
Qin Fan then looked at Mo Xingzhidao:
"On the surface, there will be Lu Qing and three thousand soldiers to help you, and there will be a force secretly to help you solve some troubles. However, this chaos will not be settled in a day. You need to wait patiently."
"Thank you, Lord Ghost." Mo Xingzhi, who had been maintaining his saluting posture, saluted solemnly again.
He knew that there were some things that Qin Fan could not say to him when it came to this close relationship, but what he just said was the most reassuring medicine for him.
Mo Xingzhi waited for decades for an opportunity, so he had enough patience.
"You should leave first and take office as soon as possible. In addition, this first army can be expanded to a maximum of 10,000 people."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As Qin Fan spoke, Mo Xingzhi and Lu Qing also retreated.
"You are all left, do you know the situation in Xuanxingyu?" Qin Fan looked at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan nodded and said:
"The place seems to have been controlled by the local six gates. The power of the city lords in each town and city is extremely weak. On the contrary, some Jianghu forces have taken advantage of the situation in recent days and caused a lot of trouble to the six gates.
Lord Ghost, I have enough confidence to handle this matter, but I need a trustworthy force to help me!"
Compared to Mo Xingzhi of the Mohist family, Xiao Yuan of the political strategist was more proactive.
After all, political strategists advocate tactics and the skills of speech and debate. They focus on trying to figure out the psychology of the target of lobbying, and use vertical and horizontal means to win over or divide. There is no final decision on the matter, and no final statement. Everything is based on realistic political requirements.
Even Xiao Yuan, who has been hit hard by reality, will never give up an opportunity to perform well as a political strategist.
For him, this is not only the key to solving the current predicament, but also a stage for him to show off his talents!
Qin Fan did not answer him directly, but turned to look at Sang Chifang.
Different from the indifference in Lu Qing, there was a kind of suppressed enthusiasm in Sang Chifang's eyes when she saw Qin Fan.
"You actually could have made another choice."
As one of the three great generals of the casual cultivator, Akainu, Sang Chifang has extremely high plasticity. Even though his talent is weaker than Lu Qing's, he is far superior to him in other aspects.
Previously, Sang Chifang went to the Xuanliu Domain and witnessed a battle in which Sword Madness Killed a Xiantian Realm master, and was recommended by Wang Jingyu to chat with Panzi Demon.
The conversation got out of hand from then on.
Because Sang Chifang was originally an iron-blooded executor, and her original belief in justice was placed on Gui Shi, when she came into contact with the Wuyou Cult, her spiritual level once again experienced a wave of sublimation.
According to the intelligence information sent by Panzi Demon, Sang Chifang can be promoted to the position of Holy Guide based on his understanding of the teachings of Wuyou Cult.
In the current organizational structure of the Wuyou Sect, the highest one is undoubtedly Qin Fan, followed by the Pope Panzi Demon, and the next level down is the Holy Guide.
Nowadays, no one has met the conditions to become a Holy Guide. Even some relatively devout believers cannot do it if they do not have enough strength in the eyes of the Pancake Demon.
His minimum requirement for a holy guide is the innate realm, which also allowed Sang Chifang, who had just made a breakthrough, to barely meet the standard.
But there is no doubt that after undergoing some spiritual baptism from the Worry-Free Cult, Sang Chifang can even catch up with Fenghuaxueyue when it comes to loyalty.
At this moment, Sang Chifang also understood that Qin Fan's words meant that she should become the holy guide of Wuyou Sect.
Let the glory of Wuyou Sect spread across the earth, and let more confused people find their way in life. Sang Chifang is very willing to do this, but she knows better that her power should be used in more critical places.
"I hope you will give me a chance!"
Qin Fan sighed, then handed another token for mobilizing the Xuexuan Guards to Sang Chifang, and reminded:
"Although you also have 3,000 people in your hands, there is something different about the 500 people."
"I know that five hundred of them are visitors from outside the world." Sang Chifang solemnly took the token.
During this period of time, the old Zhao Zilong relied on his incomplete military training methods to train a total of 6,000 Blood Mysterious Guards in Taoyuan Town, 500 of whom were aliens.
They are also members of the game studio privately established by the crazy duo.
"If these people are disobedient, go to Xuanfei Realm to find this person." Qin Fan handed Sang Chifang a note, which contained the method of contacting Dao Kuang Jian Chi.
Today's Sword Maniac is still fishing with Yuan Suiyun and Song Ce, especially after the Qinglong Pavilion was cleared, the Sanxiang Alliance, which was originally a little wilted, became stunned again.
Of course Qin Fan knew this because Xue Yan often fanned the flames.
After all, only when the Sanxiang Alliance suffers a big loss can his role be reflected, which will also give it the opportunity to catch the big ship of Qinglong Pavilion.
When Wang Jingyu and Lin Yi returned, after handing over the intelligence information from Yuan Suiyun's officials from various places, the former went to secretly protect his precious apprentice.
The latter approached Gongsun Xin and planned to use the power of the Gongsun family to win over a group of officials as soon as possible.
Therefore, the current situation in Xuanfei Domain is the easiest to solve among the three domains, provided that Qinglong Pavilion will not be forced to take action directly.
"Time is not enough for you. As for other arrangements, just like Lu Qing, prepare as soon as possible."
Hearing what Qin Fan said, Sang Chifang nodded and prepared to retreat. Xiao Yuan was supposed to leave too, but after hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to speak.
"Lord Ghost Lord, I hope to join the Ghost Market."
Qin Fan took a deep look at Xiao Yuan and did not give a direct answer.
It stands to reason that when I selected these two people as city lords, the school behind them would definitely conduct a wave of all-round wooing to prevent the behavior of meat buns beating dogs.
Xiao Yuan continued with a serious expression:
"The requirements for a political counselor are to know the overall situation, be good at reasoning, be fluent in rhetoric, adapt to opportunities, be wise and courageous, have good strategies, and be able to make decisions. In my opinion, now is the time to make a decision!"
Qin Fan neither agreed nor refused.
"You need time to understand the ghost market, and the ghost market needs time to understand you.
City Lord Xiao, in the past you lost the stage to show your ambitions again and again because you failed to seize the opportunity, but now you are a little too hasty."
"I understand." Xiao Yuan bowed deeply to Qin Fan, and then left with Sang Chifang.
When only Qin Fan was left in the conference hall, he tapped the table again thoughtfully.
The performance of Mo Xingzhi and Xiao Yuan just now formed a sharp contrast, which is actually a microcosm of the Mo family and the political strategist.
Although the former's performance is not active, it is not just a passive way of welcoming the coming of troubled times.
The latter has a vague expectation for this. After all, in a unified empire, it is difficult for the ingenuity of political advisors to be used.
Therefore, Qin Fan believed in Xiao Yuan's surrender, and even believed that it was under the guidance of the political advisor, because this was the best time for them.
But there is no need for him to give an accurate answer at the moment, so that the academic circles behind him will get a wrong signal.
In the eyes of the world, the Beast Tide War is the day when Qin Fan's Hidden Dragon emerges from the abyss, but he himself believes that there is no better time in the world than the battle for the Hidden Dragon List set by Heaven.
Therefore, before the overall situation is decided, everything must be put aside to avoid unnecessary risks.
"Emperor! We are here!" While Qin Fan was meditating, Ah Er had already entered the conference hall.
"Eight great families?"
Ah Er nodded and said: "They are listening to the new issue of storytelling in the Bone Pavilion."
"Go to the third floor!"
Qin Fan casually erased the peach blossom mark he had left for positioning, and then headed towards the surveillance hall on the third floor.
Every room here is covered with surveillance screens. After entering, you will feel more like a cyberpunk.
Like Ah Er, every time he comes, he has to be shocked for a while.
"The Bone Pavilion is located in the area where the Poison Hut is located. The streets are divided correctly. The room number is this."
Qin Fan pushed open the door and walked in. Several ghost soldiers who were watching immediately stood up and saluted.
Qin Fan's eyes were also fixed on a screen, which faced the lobby of the Bone Pavilion. There was a young master inside, who was too conspicuous.
Because compared with the regular customers who have monsters and monsters, he is dressed in white, has a gentle and elegant temperament, and looks a bit honest and easy to bully.
It's like Tang Monk who broke into Shituoling alone.
But then Qin Fan's eyes were attracted by people at another table.
