Chapter 511: Chapter 124: The Big Fish in Luoshui County, A New Harvest! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!!)_3

“Brother Jiang, congratulations to you!”

“Brother Ye, what’s there to be happy about?” Jiang Ning inquired.

Ye Qiu said, “Brother Jiang is being promoted to Standard Eighth Grade, and it won’t be long before the official appointment document comes down from above. Soon you will truly rise in rank. Isn’t that a happy occasion?”

Jiang Ning moved with the swiftness of a swallow, leisurely following behind Hong Minghu while speaking.

“What kind of happy occasion is that! Once the appointment document arrives, there’s the possibility I’ll be transferred to another place. Once I’m in unfamiliar territory, it won’t be as comfortable as staying in Luoshui County. If I had a choice, I would prefer to stay here for the time being.”

Hearing this, Ye Qiu understood Jiang Ning’s thoughts and then said, “It’s not like there isn’t a way!”

“What way?” Jiang Ning asked.

“Generally speaking, promotion is given priority to local officials, and only then to those out of town. As long as either I or one of the other four individuals, including Li Changkong, are transferred, there will naturally be a vacancy for an Eighth-Rank Official, and Brother Jiang will naturally take over.”

At this moment, seeing Jiang Ning looking over, Ye Qiu couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“Brother Jiang, if this goes well, I will be promoted and transferred. How about you take my place?”

“Then I thank you, Brother Ye!” Jiang Ning’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Not having to leave Luoshui County was, of course, the best outcome.

Luoshui County was a remote small county within Dongling County. Generally, the staff in the Inspection Offices of smaller places tended to have less to do.

Especially now in Luoshui County, almost all of the tendrils of the God Worship Sect had been severed.

Two of the three big local families had also been eradicated due to the God Worship Sect, and the remaining Xie family was now repenting and doing good deeds.

It could be said that it was unlikely for Luoshui County to experience major disturbances in the coming year.

This was perfect for his martial practice and cultivation, free from worry about any other matters.

Other places, however, might not be the same.

Being transferred elsewhere could bring a host of troublesome issues.

He didn’t lack achievements; he just wanted a stable environment for his practice and cultivation to increase his own strength.

Thus, staying in Luoshui County was the best option.

At this time, he felt sincerely grateful to Ye Qiu.

For if Ye Qiu were transferred away as he described, he would be promoted and take over his position.

In that case, he wouldn’t have to worry about being transferred by a decree from above.

He could continue to stay in Luoshui County, practice in peace, and grow in strength.

A moment later,

They had already arrived three miles away from the county government office.

Seeing Hong Minghu stop, the rest of them also halted.

Three miles, for them, was at most a matter of a dozen breaths’ time.

This distance was not far, but it was safe enough.

It was out of reach for the County Lord Li Hong in the county government to detect.

And for Jiang Ning, this distance was even less significant.

With his current speed, if he went full out, it would only take two breaths to reach the county government office.

“Later, I will rely on all of my colleagues to support me,” Hong Minghu clasped his hands and bowed.

“Don’t worry, Residence Master!” Li Changkong laughed, “Capturing County Lord Li Hong, we also share in the merit, and will naturally spare no effort.”

Then, the others like Ye Qiu also expressed their support.

Seeing this, Hong Minghu was satisfied and nodded.

Then, he turned to Jiang Ning.

“Commander Jiang, I won’t direct you later. Just act freely!”

“Okay!” Jiang Ning nodded.

“And one more thing!” Hong Minghu looked at everyone again, “If something goes wrong, do not hold back at all. Execute on the spot if necessary, and do not let Li Hong escape.”

“Li Hong should not be underestimated; in his youth, he was a Military Scholar. Every Military Scholar is at least Seventh Grade with Refining Muscle Great Success, and many of them were Sixth-Grade Martial Artists.”

“Given that it has been over a decade since Li Hong claimed the title of Military Scholar, there is a high probability he has already entered the Sixth Grade with Bone Forging.”

“Understood,” Li Changkong smiled nonchalantly, “What big waves can a mere Sixth-Grade Martial Artist cause? Among the Commanders present, who hasn’t already reached the ranks of the Sixth Grade?”
