C360 Appointment!

The person who came to deliver the report was a lean man. Maybe it was because of the long journey, but there were also large drops of sweat on his forehead, which kept flowing down his cheeks. The current climate was not that bad, and it was not as hot as the summer days, but the fact that he was still sweating like this showed how urgent he was.

Could it be that even the Principal's Master knew that the situation in the north had taken a turn for the worse? However, he could not know either. It was all thanks to the three major intelligence networks he had set up in the past five years. Otherwise, he might not even have realized it at all. The dean had only found out about the five hundred thousand taels of silver by himself, so he might not even know about the sudden turn of events in the north! This might be related to the changes that had occurred in the capital in recent years. The Surveillance Council's intelligence search had focused almost entirely on the imperial city, so it was inevitable that they had neglected the northern region.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Ztian also became interested in this imperial report. He wanted to see what game of chess the dean had played with him. What if he was the chess piece of the game? Or a spectator outside the chessboard? Or maybe his opponent in the game?

As soon as the lean man entered the tent, he was stunned. Luckily, his mind recovered quickly and quickly adjusted. He was obviously someone who had seen much of the world. He walked straight to Cui Ziyi's side, bowed and handed over an object that was wrapped in a bundle and said: "Elder Cui, this was something that the Principal ordered us to pass on to you. He said that you will know what to do when you see the contents!"

"You are from the Fengyang City branch?" Cui Ziyi took the package and casually asked.

"Yes, elder!" On the orders of relieving stroke, bring the horses and whips as well as pass on the message to the Principal. " The lean man bowed and answered.

"Alright, I understand. You can go and rest!" Cui Ziyi checked the seal on the package and saw that it was a seal that was unique to the Surveillance Council, and there was no indication that it had been opened midway, so he nodded his head in satisfaction and instructed the skinny man.

That man's mouth was dry, and the word 'tiredness' was clearly written on his face and eyes, so Cui Ziyi instructed him to rest first. Of course, he was currently holding a meeting, so it was inconvenient for him to listen in.

Cui Ziyi slowly opened the package, which was wrapped tightly in kraft paper, probably because he was afraid that the rain would cause the ink to be washed away. Cui Ziyi did not stop, he continued to open his backpack, inside was something that looked like a report, and a letter. The letter was on, and the report was below, clearly showing that it was meant for people to read the letter first and then the report.

Cui Ziyi picked up the letter, and the letter was written with Elder Cui's words, it looked like the handwriting was written by the Principal himself. When Cui Ziyi opened the envelope, he suddenly realized what had happened.

"I really wonder what else the principal can accomplish that he has yet to even think of!" Cui Ziyi sighed with emotion for a while, then closed the letter and placed it on the table. He then picked up the report, opened it and read it, then nodded in satisfaction!

Everyone's eyes were fixated on Cui Ziyi's series of movements, seeing him nod his head occasionally and smile occasionally, looking at either a fool or a biao, no one could understand what he was doing.

"Elder, what are you laughing about?" Lei Sheng quietly asked from the side.

"This letter solved a huge problem for us!" Cui Ziyi laughed and said.

"What trouble?" Several people asked in unison.

"Regarding the title of General Gongsun!" "I know what you're thinking, but this matter is indeed a little tricky to handle. I don't blame you all, but the headmaster has already helped settle this matter and has received the decree of his Majesty." Cui Ziyi did not care who asked, and started to explain.

"Imperial decree?" Everyone was shocked. They had just brought up this issue, so how could it suddenly alarm the emperor who was several thousand li away from them?

"That's right, I won't read out the imperial edict to you all. It's all an obscure official language, and the leader of your group might not be able to understand the meaning behind it. So, I'll just say it straight away. Do you all have any objections?" Cui Ziyi nodded and continued speaking, at the same time he asked for everyone's opinion.

"No!" Many people shook their heads and said. If one didn't know what they were talking about, they would have fallen asleep on the spot.

"According to the decree, Northern Army will temporarily be incorporated into the five armies during this northern expedition. They will be working together with the five armies, and at the same time, they will appoint General Gongsun Ze Tian as the marshal for this northern expedition. He had ordered Lei Sheng and Situ Qingyun to be left and right generals respectively, and had also helped Marshal Gongsun take charge of military affairs, and had ordered Cui Ziyi to be the general director of the army. "Yes, that's about it!" Cui Ziyi said in a straightforward manner as he read the report.

"This subordinate congratulates Marshal Gongsun Zedong, General Situ Qingyun, General Situ Qingyun and the general director of the military, Cui Ziyi." Everyone bowed and congratulated the four people.

"Only in name? Where's the marshal seal? " Gongsun Ztian's sudden voice suddenly broke the atmosphere that was worthy of celebration.

"Being famous is already very good. This memorial is both an imperial edict and a secret intelligence report, although it will be kept in the palace, it is still well-kept. At this moment, you are not fit to appear in the eyes of the public, it would be great if you could be given the title of marshal, and you still want to control the marshal seal!" Stop being so smelly! " Cui Ziyi returned to his seat and said to Gongsun Zaitian with a smile.

He did not intend to go to the imperial city and become some dog shit marshal right now. Not only was he worried about his fatigue, he was also worried about his life and death, his prestige and prestige would be very troublesome, and Gongsun Ze Tian still intended to play for two more years. When he became an adult, he would be able to play as a marshal for as long as he wanted.

"Alright, but I guess the dean's letter should be a couple of sentences, right?" If I win, then you will promulgate this imperial edict, and if I lose, you will destroy this imperial edict. This is also the reason why you did not publicly read out this imperial edict, right? " Gongsun Zaitian changed the topic and jokingly said to Cui Ziyi.

"I can't hide anything from you! That's right, if you didn't defeat Lei Sheng, you shouldn't even think about it, but didn't you defeat him now? This is what you deserve. Furthermore, the reason why the incense table is not set up and the imperial edict is read out to the public is to protect your identity. Cui Ziyi smiled, and did not hide anything from Gongsun Zaitian, and explained to him.

Faced with a crisis, everyone had a different way of dealing with it. This also made the difference between a 'hero' and a 'coward'. Why do some people get praised or memorized, while others can only be insulted or forgotten? What a capable person could not do, what a poor person had to endure, was what other ordinary people could not obtain.

Gongsun Ze Tian used his own abilities to defeat Lei Sheng and conquer him. Then, it would be natural for Gongsun Ze Tian to obtain the current position of 'Marshal'.

One had to know that ever since the death of the previous Marshal Ye, there had not been a single Marshal in Honglong Empire. Even though Gongsun Zaitian had at least carried the title of a Commander, and had not held the Commander Seal, this had helped him to lay a solid foundation, and had at least left a deep impression in the eyes of the Empire's higher-ups. As long as the Honglong Empire did not experience any earth-shaking changes, then Gongsun Zaitian would probably be the next Marshal, and the only thing they could do was wait for him to grow up.

"With you old foxes plotting against me from behind my back, and even finding a suitable excuse for me to not be able to retaliate, what can I do? I can only accept it! " Gongsun Ztian said indifferently.

"Others would like to have such an opportunity, but you think it's troublesome and always want to push it out. I really don't know if you really view power as nothing, or if you feel confident because you are powerful!" Cui Ziyi scolded.

"It doesn't matter what you think. Since the title's problem has been solved, there shouldn't be anything else, right?" Gongsun Ztian asked the crowd in a clear voice.

"Reporting to Marshal Gongsun, I have another question!" Zhao Yiyang said once again.

If the first time had seemed like a test, then this consecutive question was a provocation. At the very least, that was what everyone present was thinking.

"Oh? Say it! " Gongsun Zaitian did not feel that this person was provoking him, because he could not feel the hostility from the other party, including the first question. Thus, Gongsun Ztian asked curiously.

"Our mission this time is to search for the five hundred thousand silver taels, but it can be said that we don't have the slightest clue. I wonder if you're bringing us to continue searching for the five hundred thousand silver taels?" "I still need to do something else!" Zhao Yiyang nodded, standing up and looking at Gongsun Zaitian, he asked with a clear voice.

"You're asking me exactly what I'm going to say next!" Since you have already answered the question, let me explain to you the reason why you have come all the way north! However, before we speak of this matter, I wish to ask everyone present whether there are any other questions. " Gongsun Ze Tian waved for Zhao Yiyang to sit down, then he slowly spoke out.

"..." Everyone present did not make a sound as they all focused their gazes on Gongsun Zaitian. It was clear that they did not have any other questions, and they paid more attention to Zhao Yiyang's problem. After all, this was their mission and goal in heading north.

"Very well, since you have no other questions, from now on, I will become your supreme commander. It was a reunion just now, and we will officially begin the next military meeting!" Gongsun Zaitian nodded his head and spoke loudly and solemnly to the crowd.

Hearing the word 'military', all the generals present opened their half-closed eyes. The drowsy feeling in them was also swept away. From their expressions, it could be seen that these generals were somewhat excited. They had originally thought that they were only here to do manual labor and to search for something. They hadn't thought that there would be a fight.

Of course, after listening to Gongsun Ze Tian's words, everyone realized that things were not as simple as they had originally thought. Furthermore, the 'military' issue was that the danger factor that represented their trip would skyrocket.

But they didn't understand. Who were they going to fight against?
