Chapter 148: The gap between the three ranks, military remonstrance and impeachment

After being flattered by the old monkey, Yu Que was delighted, but still remained sober.

He came back to his senses and thought to himself, "As far as I know, the lower three-grade immortals are not comparable to the middle three-grade immortals.

For example, if an immortal wants to fly on his own without relying on spells or magical instruments, he must reach the middle third level.

In the initial stage of swordsmanship that I practiced, the lower three stages of practice were also called the "cultivation of sword embryos". Only when the sword embryos were cultivated to the sixth stage, the word "sword embryos" could be shed, and it was called the "birth flying sword". "

Yu Que spoke cautiously:
"May I ask, Senior, do the things that Dao Palace disciples and high-ranking folk immortals have in the first rank also exist in the middle third rank realm?"

When the old monkey heard this, he smiled and replied, "Of course it doesn't exist."

The other party also added:
"The lower three realms, in ancient times, were all called 'Qi Refining' and belonged to one major realm. Now, it is just subdivided into three.

Starting from the sixth rank, the gap between each rank is as huge as the difference between heaven and earth, and cannot be viewed in the same way as the gap between the lower three ranks. "

Yu Que saw it clearly.

As he expected, the thing called "superior to others" only existed among the lower three grades of immortals.

Any immortal who can break through and reach the middle third level, even if his foundation is unstable and his skills are inferior, the fact that he can reach the middle third level already means that he must have strengths and should not be underestimated.

Yu Que asked again in detail and learned from the old monkey:

“No matter how great a Dao Palace disciple is, if he can use his seventh-grade upper-level cultivation to fight against the sixth-grade lower-level evil spirits, it is already extraordinary. There is absolutely no way he can fight against the sixth-grade middle-level or even sixth-grade upper-level evil spirits.

The further you advance in the path of immortality, the higher your realm will be.

For those of the sixth rank and above, even if they are a genius immortal, it is rare for them to be able to suppress those of the same rank in their current realm. "

The other party paused, still daydreaming about the words:
“I have heard that after entering the Gangshen realm, the true disciples of the major Dao Palaces, if they do not have the true magic weapon to protect their bodies, will never get any good from those old Gangshen immortals, not to mention those old guys who have reached the perfection of Gangshen.”

Yu Que's face was solemn, and he clasped his hands and said:
"That's it. Thank you, senior, for clearing up the confusion."

The old monkey came back to his senses, patted Yu Que on the shoulder, and laughed:
“Don’t underestimate yourself.

Reaching the middle third level is the true beginning of immortal cultivation for a person like you!"

The other party muttered:

"When that time comes, it won't be too late for you to be cautious. At this stage, you should show your heroic spirit and stop being timid and fussy."

Hearing this, Yu Que's face brightened up again, and he responded with a breath:
"Yes, I know."

Just as he was about to chat with this person and try to build a better relationship with him, the old monkey suddenly pinched his fingers, immediately picked up Yu Que, and said:
“Good ambition.

Let’s go. In about an hour, the army will have a small meeting.

I will take you over here to show you my face. If the leader of the Seventh Quarter Army is here and wants to embarrass you, you can confront him in public and don’t be afraid.”

Yu Que's body swayed, and when he came to his senses, he had been moved to Mr. Donkey's body by the other party.

The other two, one carrying Yu Que and the other walking in front, leading a donkey, walked towards the gate of Bimafang Camp.

This sudden change really made Yu Que a little overwhelmed.

Although the old monkey just said that Yu Que was in the lower three levels of realm and was one or two levels higher than ordinary immortals, Yu Que had never tasted the sweetness and encountered the actual proof.

Now in such a hurry, he is asked to fight against the seventh commander, and the opponent is from the upper seventh-grade You Shenxian family.

Yu Que thought to himself that he was just using his head to butt against the other party!
So he sat on the donkey and wanted to jump off the donkey immediately, saying a few polite words:
"Replying to Senior, I just came out of retreat, and now I suddenly remembered that I have missed something in my practice. Senior, please continue to attend the meeting on my behalf."

But his body was forced onto the donkey's back by the old monkey.

The other party preached angrily:

“Don’t even think about skipping work.

It's been almost two months, and I've been the one attending all the meetings for you. Now that you've been released, don't think of treating me like a beast of burden anymore."

Just when Yu Que wanted to make some promises and owe the other party a few favors, the old monkey directly grasped the blood and energy in his body, making his body numb. He could only sit quietly on the donkey's back and not do anything rash.

The other party yawned:
“Don’t worry, with me here, you will at most lose face, but you won’t suffer any loss.

Do you really think that I have spent decades in the officialdom in vain? "

Yu Que suddenly felt helpless and had no choice but to follow the other party and continue walking towards the central military tent.

Not long after.

Outside the female general's tent, in the open air, people were coming here and there.

Yu Que and Lao Mahou were among the first group to arrive. After they arrived, it would take a full hour before the sky would light up.

Before daybreak, when there are no other chores to be dealt with here, those who come early can just stay in the courtyard and wait.

After Yu Que made this clear, he knew that Old Ma Hou really hated having to attend meetings on his behalf, so when he saw there happened to be a meeting today, he would rather keep him here waiting to death than let him go, lest he miss the opportunity for the handover.

So Yu Que followed the old monkey and found an open space in the courtyard. He sat cross-legged and regulated his breathing while waiting for the morning meeting to begin.

Soon, row after row of people came from all over the military camp.

The number of people varies. The larger ones are just a team of soldiers with 20 to 30 people, while the smaller ones are just a lone individual.

Everyone stood and sat down in order according to the size of their official positions.

During this time, Yu Que opened his eyes, looked at his position, and found that he was in the upper-middle position.

While he was looking around, the other soldiers around him were also looking at his unfamiliar face intentionally or unintentionally.

However, no one came to ask about Yu Que's official position or name, because everyone present only needed to glance at the old horse monkey standing behind Yu Que to know that Yu Que was the Bi Ma Weng who had just filled the vacancy.

Among them, a cold gaze was staring at Yu Que for about ten breaths before moving away.

The man sat in front of Yu Que, wearing red armor and only had one personal soldier with him. He was the commander of the soldiers from the Seventh Ward.

When the Seventh Commander saw Yu Que, joy flashed in his eyes.

This man snorted in his heart: "After waiting for so many days, I finally waited for you to show up."

But the Seventh Commander did not start the attack in advance, but immediately spoke a few words to the handsome-looking soldier beside him.

After receiving the order, the personal soldier left the courtyard immediately. When he returned again, he had a stack of documents in his sleeve pouch, which he immediately handed over to the Seventh Commander.

Holding the prepared documents, the Seventh Commander turned around, closed his eyes slightly, and like Yu Que, quietly waited for the morning meeting to begin.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of a big drum rang out. Then, the voice of a female general that Yu Que found familiar came out:
"Every ten days, there is a meeting. This morning's meeting will begin now. Soldiers from all quarters and gatehouses in the village, do you have anything important to report? Please speak up quickly."

The other party acted very vigorously and decisively. He let everyone discuss the matter as soon as he opened his mouth, without any pretense.

"General, the training of our new recruits has been completed. Please come to our camp for inspection on a certain day."

The female general sat upright in the middle of the courtyard and nodded in reply: "Yes."

The clerk beside her immediately took note.

"General, there are ferocious beasts outside the camp. Please give the order and have the soldiers from the Ninth Quarter go out and clear them out."

"General, my fellow soldiers and brothers from the 11th Ward also have the same intention. Please leave this matter to us."

Seeing that there were two commanders who wanted to compete to eliminate the demon, the female general was too lazy to make too much adjustments and said impatiently:
"This is a simple matter. Soldiers from the Ninth and Eleventh Wards, each of you will send out 100 veterans and 50 new soldiers, a total of 300 people, to investigate outside the village. If the beast cannot be eliminated, you will mobilize the whole war district to leave the village."

One matter after another was handled one by one like flowing water.

Yu Que was among them. He stood up early and listened, and also noticed the seventh commander.

The man also held a stack of documents and asked the female general for instructions.

Noises of varying sizes came one after another. Even though the female general acted decisively, by the time the military affairs were settled one by one, the sun was already high. It was estimated that it would be noon in at most another hour.

At this time, the female general exhaled and said with a smile:

"The work for this ten-day period is done. My colleagues, do you have anything else to report?"

The court was silent. Everyone looked at each other. The atmosphere was no longer as solemn as it had been at the beginning. It seemed that everyone was waiting to adjourn the meeting so that they could go out for drinks in groups of three or four.

At this time, the seventh commander finally came out.

The man held a contract and a document in his hand and said:
"General, I have a dispute regarding military horses. I hope you will make a decision."

As the other party finished speaking, many people's eyes suddenly turned to the Seventh Commander and Yu Que.

Those who knew a little about the inside story had an expression as if they were watching a play, and were quite expectant.

When the female general heard this, she looked through the visor and glanced at Yu Que, seeming to find it interesting as well.

"You can just speak frankly." The female general said.

The Seventh Commander immediately shook the contract in his hand and shouted:

"I hereby report to you that the Bi Ma Weng of Bi Ma Fang has made up all sorts of excuses to collect money and grain from our Seventh Fang and to cheat our Seventh Fang's soldiers and horses. Now he has postponed for a month and is avoiding meeting people...

In addition, I impeach this person for neglecting his duties, missing meetings many times, and being unworthy of this important task. His position as Bi Ma Weng should be reconsidered."

After I complained to Yu Que, the other party bowed:
"If this boy is unable to repay his debts, I am from the same hometown as him and would like to take him in as a soldier so that he can repay his debts and train him and teach him military affairs."

When these words were spoken in the court, they immediately caused even louder noise.

More people smiled and set their eyes on Yu Que.

It is not uncommon for people at the level of abbot to impeach each other.

The old monkey standing behind Yu Que also opened his eyes, which had been slightly narrowed, and looked at the Seventh Commander expressionlessly.

On the contrary, I am lacking the right person.

He still had his eyes downcast, with an expression of looking at his nose and his heart, and did not show any expression because of the impeachment of the Seventh Commander.

It’s as if the person being impeached is not his fault at all.

The female general Huangshan sat above the others. She looked at Yu Que and said immediately:
"Bima Weng Yuque, can you explain what the Seventh Commander Fei Wu told you? Is it true or false?"

After hearing the female general's voice, Yu Que finally moved.

He took a step forward and bowed to the female general:

"Reporting to the general, this is the Seventh Commander who is confusing right and wrong. He and the two criminal officials, the former deputy supervisor and the former bookkeeper, have enriched themselves, colluded with each other, stolen the official seal, and deliberately framed me.

I had already executed the two criminal officers in accordance with military law that day and informed the army.

As for the various types of military horses of the Seventh Ward, whether they are real or not, I have nothing to do with this matter. I have never made any promises or signed any documents. After taking office, I have never seen any batch of military horses in the Bi Ma Ward. I hope the general will investigate this matter clearly. "

Although Yu Que did not care about the trap set by the deputy supervisor and the registrar, he still had to explain it briefly, lest he be tricked by the other party without even having an explanation.

Upon hearing this, the female general immediately waved her hand and said, "General, bring me the horse contract."

Immediately, a personal soldier stepped forward and took the deed and impeachment document from the seventh commander's hands.

The female general threw the document aside and only glanced at the deed. She found that there was indeed only the official seal of Bimafang on it, but no signature of Yu Que, and the date was just the first few days of Yu Que taking office.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately believed what Yu Que said, with a sneer in her eyes.

No matter what, it was her who gave the order to appoint Yu Que to the position of Bimafang.

She had just taken office, and her subordinates dared to plot against the other party in this way, which really did not even give her face.

The female general had no expression on her face and said coldly:

"Indeed, there is only an official seal, but no signature. This matter involves two criminal officials. Bi Ma Weng had just taken office and was not familiar with military affairs. He could not handle such embezzlement properly. This matter should have nothing to do with Bi Ma Weng.

Seventh Commander, do you have anything else to say?"

In an instant, the pressure came to the Seventh Commander.

The man's eyes changed slightly, as if he had not expected that the female general's attitude towards this kind of mutual shirking of responsibility would be so clear, she was almost directly endorsing Yu Que.

However, the Seventh Commander did not look panicked, as he had been prepared for this early on.

The man gritted his teeth, threw the rest of the documents in his hand to the ground, stepped forward again, and said in a deep voice:
"General, the two criminals are now dead, and even their souls have been taken away, so there is no evidence.

Bi Ma Weng can naturally throw all the dirty water on those two people. I can only blame myself for misjudging them because of my fellow countrymen sentiment. "

The other party cheers up:

"In this case, I would like to impeach him with a 'military remonstrance' to verify whether Bi Ma Weng is qualified to be the abbot and sit on an equal footing with the commanders like us!"

That's it.

The Seventh Commander's true intentions were revealed. He wanted to openly oppress Yu Que because he was young, so as to strip him of his military rank and recruit him into the borough.
