Gao Wu: You were allowed to join the army and become a five-star general?

Chapter 228

Beijing.

Old Master Zhao walked out of the Marshal's Mansion, stepped back into his business car, and headed back to Fire City.

As he and the other four generals left, the news of what they discussed tonight spread.

Supervisory Council, the dean's room.

Song Gui sat in the dark room, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Secretary Wang knocked on the door and walked in.

He didn't dare turn on the light, just stood in the dark, and bowed to Song Gui on the chair.

"Dean, there's news from the Marshal's Mansion."

In the darkness, Song Gui quietly opened his eyes and looked at Secretary Wang.

Secretary Wang trembled slightly and continued to report.

"General Zhao Tianqiong summoned the other four generals to hold a meeting in the Marshal's Mansion overnight, although we don't know what they discussed."

"But it's not hard to guess that it should be about Gu Ming."

In the darkness, Song Gui nodded slowly, not surprised by this.

Zhao Tianqiong returned to the capital at this time, just to ask for merit for Gu Ming.

He just wanted to confer Gu Ming the title of Wanhu Hou, he had guessed it long ago.

Secretary Wang observed Song Gui's reaction and continued.

"Dean, during their discussion, a person who shouldn't have appeared appeared."

Someone who shouldn't have appeared?

Song Gui's eyes moved, and he looked at Secretary Wang, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"The Marshal of the Demon-Suppressing Army came forward?"

Song Gui's heart was a little heavy as he said this.

If it was the Marshal who personally came forward and determined Gu Ming's rank of Wanhu Hou.

Then it means that the Marshal will be his opponent in the future.

The Marshal of the Demon-Suppressing Army is not easy to deal with...

Secretary Wang shook his head.

"The demon-suppressing marshal did not show up, but General Baihu went."

"Our people did not find out what they said specifically, but judging from Zhao Tianqiong's reaction when he left the marshal's mansion, Gu Ming's promotion to the rank of Marquis of Wanhu should have been decided."

"How could it be him?"

Listening to Secretary Wang's words, Song Gui thought of a Confucian general who was more than three meters tall.

Although it was not the demon-suppressing marshal who showed up in person.

But General Baihu...

The matter was still a bit tricky.

Song Gui came back to his senses, pondered carefully, and tapped the armrest with his fingers.

Secretary Wang spoke tentatively.

"Dean, why don't you go to the marshal's mansion and stop Gu Ming's promotion?"

Secretary Wang did not quite understand this.

Song Gui did not like Gu Ming, and this started from Song Sheng.

In addition, Bai Ye might have died at his hands, and Gu Ming was on Liu Yongzheng's side, so there was even more hatred between him and Song Gui.

With Song Gui's personality, he shouldn't sit back and watch Gu Ming get promoted to the rank of Marquis of Wan Hu.

The sound of knocking on the handrail stopped, and in the darkness, Song Gui looked at Secretary Wang.

There was a smile in his eyes, and he shook his head.

"No problem, let him get promoted."

"The bigger the momentum is now, the more miserable it will be when he falls."

Song Gui sneered, which frightened Secretary Wang.

He thought of the reason.

Song Gui, the president of the Supervisory Council, has never been a beast in the open.

He is a poisonous snake in the dark.

Tonight, even if Song Gui went to the Marshal's Mansion, he might not be able to stop Gu Ming's promotion.

After all, the promotion of military rank is an internal matter of the Demon-Suppressing Army.

If Song Gui went there, he might attract the Demon-Suppressing Marshal.

But now it's different.

According to Song Gui's personality, he will definitely face Gu Ming and plan a ruthless blow to him.

The kind that can be beaten to death with one blow, there is no chance of turning over.

Secretary Wang felt a chill on his back, and his eyes looked at Song Gui with more and more fear.

In the same capital, in an elegantly decorated house.

Mu Yanfei was wearing a white wool coat, a champagne-colored long skirt inside, and her blonde hair was tied up high.

She leaned quietly on a wooden chair, sitting by the pool, looking at the calm water surface.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the calm water surface was slightly rippled.

Mu Yanfei did not turn her head, gently stroked her hair blown by the breeze, and asked with a smile.

"What's the matter?"

She heard about what happened in Pengcheng, so she did not sleep all night and waited for news here.

Hera, a female assistant wearing a professional suit, stood behind Mu Yanfei and bowed to report.

"Minister, the result of the Pengcheng battle is out."

"Oh?"

Mu Yanfei became interested and looked at the increasingly rippling water surface.

"Pengcheng is fine. Gu Ming killed a fifth-level giant crocodile and repelled a large beast tide in this battle."

"Has he become so powerful?"

Mu Yanfei smiled and spoke softly.

Hera's eyes were also shocked. She didn't expect that Gu Ming could kill the demon lord at this time.

Thinking about what he had just gottenShe continued.

"Zhao Tianqiong rushed back to the capital from Huocheng overnight and summoned the other four states' generals to discuss matters."

"On the way, General Baihu arrived, and the two sides almost fought over Gu Ming."

"In the end, General Wu Zhong of Zhongzhou made the final decision, and the other four seconded the motion to promote Gu Ming to the rank of Marquis of Wanhu..."

Hera said, with more and more shock in her eyes.

Mu Yanfei had just left Lincheng. She originally thought that without this secret backer, Gu Ming would fall from grace and might even be in danger.

But the result was that Gu Ming was about to become a Marquis of Wanhu as soon as Mu Yanfei left.

This was simply, making Hera a little at a loss as to how to describe it.

After taking several deep breaths, Hera looked up again and looked at Mu Yanfei.

Mu Yanfei was still sitting by the pool, leaving her with an elegant back.

She sat there quietly, seemingly without any major emotional fluctuations due to the news.

In fact, the face facing away from Hera already had a strong smile on it.

The water surface was full of waves, rippling constantly, showing Mu Yanfei's mind.

She suddenly thought of the agreement that Gu Ming had made with her.

Within two years, he would become the King of Wu and kill the King of Yongye.

Now it seems that it doesn't take two years?

Mu Yanfei smiled and said slowly in her heart.

"You are growing so fast that I can't keep up with you."

Fire City, Li Family.

It was late at night, but the father and son of the Li family still didn't sleep.

Li Huafeng accompanied Li Wanbing and sat in the courtyard, waiting for Li Zhenbei's return.

At this moment, a steady and powerful footsteps sounded in the distance.

The two looked up and saw their fathers and grandfathers at the first time.

General Li Zhenbei strode over, and when he saw the two people waiting here, especially his grandson Li Wanbing, his eyes couldn't help but be a little complicated.

Meeting his eyes, Li Wanbing's heart skipped a beat.

"Grandpa, how is Pengcheng?"

He wanted to ask Gu Ming, but his pride wouldn't allow him to do so.

Li Zhenbei shook his head and sighed.

After this, Li Wanbing never had a chance to compete with Gu Ming again.

But to be honest, there was never any chance.

General Li Zhenbei was relieved and looked at the two of them.

"Pengcheng is fine, Gu Ming killed the demon marquis and repelled the beast tide."

"Soon, he will be a marquis of Wanhu."
