Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 287 Ren Zhuangzhu

Soon, Chen Qingzhi followed the emperor's order and personally issued a series of promotion orders:
The fifth Weite was promoted to the chief of Lingguang Guard;
Nangong Te was promoted to deputy leader of Lingguang Guard.
Ren Yuante was promoted to the leader of Chongguang Chuang.

Everyone in the Gou Chen Division was envious, but no one felt dissatisfied, because this was clearly the emperor's reward for their loyalty.

Just ask, at that time, who could withstand the pressure from Xiao Hong and his superiors and resolutely carry out the imperial edict, and the targets of killing were Xiao Zhengde and Xiao Zhengze?
A true warrior should get the best reward. Otherwise, what is the difference between the Gouchensi and other places?

Sitting in seclusion in the garden.

Chen Qingzhi personally presented the three with official certificates and new waist badges. He also encouraged them with a smile:
"Although special promotions are rare, they are not uncommon. Don't feel burdened, just continue to do your best."

"Yes." The three of them responded in unison.

Chen Qingzhi then gave the corresponding elixirs for opening the orifices to the three people. Among them, Ren Yuan got a bottle of Tongxuanlu for opening the sixth orifice, and a jar of Zifu Yuanjing for opening the seventh orifice.

Holding these two priceless pills in his hands, Ren Yuan felt like he was dreaming. Thinking back to the time when the Tianmu ointment he used to open his second orifice was a second-hand product extracted from Liu Laocai's body.

At that time, he felt that the Jade Pivot Pill that could open the third orifice was out of reach, let alone more advanced pills... He might never see one in his lifetime.

And now, just over half a year after coming to the Gou Chen Division, he has obtained the elixir for the sixth and seventh orifices that he had never dared to dream of before.

What should we call this? Choice is more important than hard work? Or is this world just too unfair?

As he was sighing with emotion, he heard Chen Qingzhi say to Diwu Wei, "You just opened eight orifices two months ago. It's too hasty to open nine orifices right now. You should wait for it to settle down and come naturally."

"Yes." The Fifth Dimension responded respectfully.

Chen Qingzhi then said to Nangong and Ren Yuan: "You too, don't rush to break through, wait until you have laid a solid foundation."

"Yes, sir." The two of them quickly agreed.

"Especially you," Chen Qingzhi said to Ren Yuan with a smile, "To open the seventh orifice, you need to condense the golden elixir. The quality of the golden elixir depends entirely on your own heat. You must lay a solid foundation, and then break the cauldron to form the elixir when the heat is right."

"I will keep Marshal Chen's teachings in mind." Ren Yuan nodded heavily.

"Although the emperor has temporarily let Xiao Hong go for various considerations, he has become a frightened bird and should not dare to seek revenge on you." Chen Qingzhi smiled at him again.

"Yes." Ren Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been assassinated three times by Xiao Hong's men recently. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous. Now, except for necessary official duties, he never left the Gou Chen Division...

"Congratulations again on your promotion." Chen Qingzhi said with a pleasant face, and then changed the subject:

"Then let me tell you something serious - have all three of you been to Dreamland?"

"We've been there." The three of them responded.

"A Yuan may not know that I once sent Diwu and Nangong to lead a team to explore Dreamland." Chen Qingzhi said solemnly:
"But that mission resulted in heavy casualties, and only three of them returned. So I was reluctant to reopen the investigation unless it was absolutely necessary - but now, I'm afraid it's time to do it."

He said with more emphasis:

"Xiao Zhengde and Princess Yongxing have both become so-called dream masters. I don't know how many big figures have followed in their footsteps. This shows how deeply the so-called great dream master has infiltrated the upper echelons of Daliang." Chen Qingzhi said worriedly:
"Besides, how could the entrance to the dreamland appear in Purple Gold Mountain? Is this a coincidence or is there a secret? Why did the Buddha Cult claim that it was their work when it was clearly Birch who devoured the nightmare? Is this a lie, or... is there something else going on?"

"And most importantly, what is the purpose of their creating this dream? Will they use this method to control the dreamers and do something in reality? These must be figured out." After saying this, he looked at the three people expectantly and said:
"So please continue investigating Mengxiang and strive to make the truth known to the world as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir!" The three of them obeyed the order respectfully.

"Of course, don't forget safety first. Don't take risks like last time." Chen Qingzhi warned again. "Yes."

After leaving Zuoyin Garden, Ren Yuan took off his bronze waist badge and replaced it with the silver waist badge of the owner of the tower.

Diwuwei and Nangong also put on the golden guard waist badges, and the three of them returned to Chongguang Tower together.

As soon as they entered the barracks, they saw the brothers lined up neatly and saluted the three of them in unison.

Diwuwei couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you sending me and Nangong off, or are you welcoming your new leader?"

"All of them, all of them." The brothers from Chongguang Chuang said with a smile.

"I just said goodbye to you guys not long ago, so I won't waste my words this time." Diwuwei pushed Ren Yuan forward and said, "Just one word, from now on, you will obey the orders of Master Ren!"

"Yes, sir!" The brothers responded in unison, "We will obey the orders of the leader!"

"Please say a few words, Master." Zuan said loudly again.

"Ahem." Ren Yuan felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, he was one of the three people with the least experience in Chongguang Tower, but now he has become the tower leader.

Fortunately, he had experience as a young master in Xiejia Village, so he quickly adjusted his state of mind and said to everyone with a smile: "In fact, when I became the captain before, I felt like I was dreaming. I never thought that I would become the owner of the village in the blink of an eye."

"Hahaha." The brothers also laughed: "Based on the great achievements made by the leader, he is more than qualified to be a leader."

"Indeed, in just over half a year, how many cases have you solved? The four villains in the capital were all caught by you, and you killed two of them yourself, and saved the princess." Everyone said in a convinced tone: "The achievements of all the people in the company combined are not as many as those you have made alone!"

"It's mainly because of my good luck, plus my magical powers are suitable for solving cases." Ren Yuan smiled and said, "No matter what, you have to do your job. How to be a good leader? I think it's about three things: fairness, fairness, and fairness!"

"Good!" The brothers cheered loudly. No matter what, as long as the boss can treat everyone equally, everything else is trivial.

Upon hearing this, Diwuwei asked Nangong softly, "Did you teach him this?"

"No." Nangong shook his head and chuckled, "A Yuan is not like you. Once he gets into trouble, he is more clever than a monkey. Does he need to be taught?"

"It seems to be true." Diwuwei smiled with satisfaction and said, "I feel relieved to leave the Chongguang Tower to him."

~~
Ren Yuan stayed in the building owner's room throughout the afternoon, handing over various affairs of the building to Nangong.

Although a group of people is small, it is the most basic military unit. In addition to passing orders and executing various tasks assigned by superiors, the group leader is also responsible for daily military training and assessment.

As well as daily administrative management, including staff attendance, leave, and duty scheduling; the storage and distribution of equipment and materials throughout the building, etc. In short, the affairs are quite detailed and complicated.

"Now you know how difficult it is for me to be the leader of this building?" The Fifth Dimension said to Elder Ren Yuan angrily.

Nangong just gave him a blank look and didn't even bother to argue with him.

"Yes, yes, learn from the owner." Ren Yuan nodded in response. This was not a perfunctory statement. Based on his experience in managing Xiejiazhuang, this kind of thing requires full delegation of authority so that he can have time to focus on more important things.

After patiently waiting for the two to finish the handover, Diwuwei asked Ren Yuan, "What are you going to do with the task assigned by Chen Shuai?"
