Return Of Urban Battle Son-in-law

Yih Wenn and Yih Woo had also returned to the True Fire Hall.    

According to the usual practice, after Gu Yuan returned to the True Fire Hall, he would have to report to the Flying Eagle Palace first.    

However, when Gu Yuan returned to the Flying Eagle Palace, he heard Lyi Cheng say that Cao Meng had returned with a flag.    

The Flying Eagle Guard had two Qi Gathering Pill every month, and Small Flag Master had five Qi Gathering Pill every month. When Gu Yuan left, he happened to catch up with the distribution of the Qi Gathering Pill in the flag.    

Because Gu Yuan was not around, Lyi Cheng went to help Gu Yuan get the Qi Gathering Pill, but was strangely insulted by Lee Heizi.    

Lee Heizi said that Gu Yuan was only acting as the flag commander now, and couldn't give out the Qi Gathering Pill according to the flag commander's treatment, so he only gave Lyi Cheng four Qi Gathering Pill.    

Lyi Cheng had the idea of calming things down, so he could only bring these four Qi Gathering Pill back first.    

Gu Yuan did not say anything when he heard that, but he just remembered this debt in his heart.    

According to Lyi Cheng, Cao Meng was originally carrying out a mission outside of the city, and this time he specially came back to participate in the inner circle disciple advancement competition.    

He had heard that Commander Zhou had given Small Flag Master, who had one flag, to Gu Yuan. Obviously, he was a little surprised. He wanted to see Gu Yuan as soon as he came back, and most likely wanted to teach Gu Yuan a lesson.    

Unfortunately, Gu Yuan had gone on a mission for Yih Wenn and Yih Woo. He hadn't seen Cao Meng in True Fire Hall.    

Today, Gu Yuan had returned. After Cao Meng found out about it, he asked Gu Yuan to meet him.    

Cao Meng was the leader of the flag, and Gu Yuan was Small Flag Master, who was under his command. Gu Yuan should have gone to see him.    

However, Gu Yuan had a conflict with Lee Heizi, Cao Meng's trusted aide, the moment he arrived. When Gu Yuan had just become Small Flag Master, Cao Meng probably did not have good intentions in wanting to see Gu Yuan.    

Cao Meng was waiting for Gu Yuan in the side hall of Soaring Eagle Palace. This side hall was also a place where one flag could be used to deal with official matters.    

When Gu Yuan arrived at the side hall, not only was Cao Meng there, Lee Heizi and a few of his subordinates were also there.    

Lee Heizi and the others had originally disliked Gu Yuan, but when they saw Gu Yuan walking in, they immediately stood up and said fiercely, "Gu Yuan, you really dare to come here!"    

Gu Yuan looked at Lee Heizi coldly. "I am Small Flag Master, one flag. Why wouldn't I dare to come? What? Does this place eat people?"    

Cao Meng frowned and knocked on the table. "Lee Soong, what are you doing? You take your brothers out first. I have something to say to Gu Yuan!"    

Lee Heizi and the others glared at Gu Yuan unwillingly, then walked out of the side hall while cursing.    

Due to etiquette, Gu Yuan raised his left hand slightly and nodded slightly as a greeting.    

Cao Meng waved his hand and did not care about it. Instead, he said casually:    

"Gu Yuan, right? I have heard of you. Although Commander Zhou asked you to be our flag, Small Flag Master, you have been here for too short a time. You have not contributed much.    

If you suddenly become Small Flag Master just like this, I'm afraid the brothers below won't be convinced. "    

Seeing that Gu Yuan was about to speak, Cao Meng raised his hand to stop him.    

"Gu Yuan, since you have already come, we will be brothers from now on. Don't worry, you will get every penny you deserve."    

Seeing Gu Yuan swallow his words, Cao Meng picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. He then spoke in an official tone.    

"However, our flag situation is more complicated. I have already talked to Commander Zhou. As for you, you should temporarily be the acting Small Flag Master. When you have made a contribution in the future, you will be promoted to Small Flag Master. This way, no one will gossip anymore. "    

Gu Yuan smiled coldly. So it turned out that he was waiting for him here.    

However, he was not interested in this Small Flag Master, so he did not say much. Instead, he said straightforwardly, "Alright, I know. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."    

After saying that, Gu Yuan turned around and left. Before he could reach the door, Cao Meng spoke again.    

"Hey, Gu Yuan, what are you in such a hurry for? Wait, I still have something to say."    

Seeing that Gu Yuan was about to leave, Cao Meng asked him to stay. He slowly blew on the hot tea and took a sip. Then he put the teacup on the table. After thinking for a while, he spoke again.    

"Gu Yuan, you just came to Flying Eagle Guard. Your cultivation base is also low. You can't do anything other than patrolling. However, patrolling is very difficult."    

"How about this? There is a good job for you to do now. As long as you do it well, you will definitely be able to contribute. When that time comes, you will be promoted to Small Flag Master."    

Gu Yuan looked at Cao Meng quietly without saying anything.    

Cao Meng frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong? You don't want to go?"    

Gu Yuan followed Cao Meng's words expressionlessly and asked, "Commander Cao Qi, you haven't told me what kind of job it is."    

Cao Meng once again picked up the tea bowl and carefully blew on it.    

At the same time, he looked at Gu Yuan out of the corner of his eye.    

He found that this new Gu Yuan was not shy at all. When he talked to Gu Yuan, he did not show any restraint.    

The answer to his question was also neither servile nor overbearing. It faintly carried the aura of a superior person, as if he had seen the world.    

If Cao Meng did not find someone to investigate Gu Yuan's background beforehand, he would really think that Gu Yuan was an heir from a big family.    

"Cough cough."    

Putting down the teacup, Cao Meng cleared his throat and said,    

"This job is very simple. But if you do it well, the credit will be quite great."    

"What about our True Fire Hall? You don't need me to tell you anything. Our family is huge, and there are some places that the Law Enforcement Elders can't take care of. Take the dining hall for example, it costs tens of thousands of silver a month. If something happens, it costs at least a hundred thousand taels of silver!"    

Cao Meng's expression was somewhat serious, and he put on a serious expression.    

"The dining hall is responsible for the food problem of the True Fire Hall. There are their young men's rooms everywhere. The accounts of these young men's rooms are very messy. Some of the disciples in the dining hall secretly took out the herbs and Ferocious Beast meat used to cook the ingredients and sold them for two taels of silver. They filled their private pockets."    

"Originally, no one cared about these things. But recently, the internal affairs of True Fire Hall have been reorganized. The elders of the Law Enforcement Department want to find these vermin. The higher-ups are also putting pressure on us. They want us to investigate this matter. "    

Cao Meng put on an expression as if he was thinking for Gu Yuan's sake. Even his expression looked very sincere.    

"I think it's best for you to go after thinking about it. Once you come, you will be promoted to Small Flag Master as soon as you come. There will definitely be a lot of people who will not accept it.    

Second of all, you can also use this opportunity to show your face in front of the elders. Who knows which elder will take a fancy to you and accept you as an inner circle disciple?"    

Cao Meng looked at Gu Yuan, waiting for his reply.    

In fact, Gu Yuan knew very well that as long as he was in Flying Eagle Guard, he would have to listen to Cao Meng's orders. There was nothing to discuss about this. He had to go even if he wanted to!    

Going to investigate the dining hall was a job that offended people.    

Without even thinking about it, it was definitely Cao Meng who took revenge for his personal vendetta.
