”This Yun Luo, I’ll keep an eye on her, don’t worry, I’m sufficiently alert.”

Qin Tian said to Xu Junwei.

Xu Junwei nodded: ”Lonely Wolf, you have to remember, now your status is different, countless people want to get close to you, you better not trust any of them, or be more cautious. The dark side of power struggles can be more terrifying than you imagine.”

”I’ve heard about this, I’ll be careful.”

Qin Tian nodded: ”Then, just tell me the task.”

”The East Gate General of the City Guard Army is vacant, the higher-ups hope that you can take this position to make it easier for our people to enter and exit the city in the future.”

Xu Junwei stared at Qin Tian: ”This is a matter of laying the groundwork for the future, right now the East Gate General position is vacant, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if we don’t seize it now, it will be hard to compete for any of the four city gates positions later.”

”No problem, I’ll inquire about the specifics tomorrow and do my best to secure it. However, given my credentials, there will likely be significant resistance, I can only say I’ll do my best and see what fate holds.”

Qin Tian accepted this task, in fact, he had already heard about the vacancy of the East Gate General position, it’s a coveted post with a lot of power, typically held concurrently by the City Guard General.

Previously it was Chen Feng, now that Chen Feng is dead, the position should have originally fallen to Qin Tian.

But due to Qin Tian’s extremely limited experience, there were already many voices opposing his promotion to General, and taking over the East Gate would undoubtedly face even greater resistance, Xiao Zhan might not even agree.

Qin Tian had been debating whether to compete before, but now that Xu Junwei has assigned the task, Qin Tian has no choice but to strive for it.

Of course, this is also a necessary path to consolidate his power and strengthen his position.

He must defeat those in the City Guard Army who look down on him! Make them shut up!

...

The next day, Qin Tian began to understand the situation internally within the government office.

The current situation is quite simple, there are three people already openly and secretly competing for this East Gate General position.

One is General Ye Ming, one is General Zhao Long, and the other is General Wang Zhen.

These three people belong to different factions respectively.

Ye Ming is part of Zhang Qicheng’s faction from East State.

Zhao Long belongs to Zhang Zhiwen’s faction from the Imperial City’s Yun Zhong Marquis faction.

As for Wang Zhen, he is with Governor Xiao Zhan’s faction.

Each of the three factions has sent one person to compete for the East Gate General position.

At this time, if Qin Tian joins in, it will be four people competing.

Qin Tian is very clear about the situation, he absolutely cannot just join in directly, this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the three factions, especially from Xiao Zhan’s side.

”To compete for the East Gate General, I first have to replace Wang Zhen from Xiao Zhan’s faction, and compete on behalf of Xiao Zhan’s faction for the East Gate Commander position.”

Qin Tian sorted out his thoughts, and now faced a difficulty: how to make Xiao Zhan agree to let him replace Wang Zhen?

Wang Zhen has been following Xiao Zhan for five or six years, although not Xiao Zhan’s most original direct lineage, he is still a figure with significant influence in Xiao Zhan’s faction, replacing him at this critical moment is no easy task.

”Old Three, I have a secret mission for you, investigate Wang Zhen’s background, personality, and any flaws, collect all the information.”

Qin Tian threw the problem to intelligence expert Xiao Zhuang.

To defeat someone, one must first know oneself and the enemy; Qin Tian wants to know everything about Wang Zhen.

”Sure, boss, I’ll try my best.”

Xiao Zhuang smiled, ”I’ve recently learned a Qinggong that should come in handy. I think I have a natural talent for Qinggong and Flying Technique, haha.”

Xiao Zhuang and his men disappeared for a few days. During these days, Qin Tian and Lin Yu were anxious about Qin Tian’s Personal Soldiers issue. Out of five hundred people, after Lin Yu and Zhao Lanjin’s strict selection, only about a hundred were recruited.

Qin Tian was a bit disappointed, but there’s nothing he could do, he comforted Zhao Lanjin and Lin Yu, saying: ”Now I’m just a young General, many Cultivation Immortality experts certainly won’t easily join me because my future is still unclear, it’s okay, we’ll take it slow. I think a hundred Personal Soldiers are enough for now.”

Zhao Lanjin said: ”Boss, I heard you nominated me as Deputy General to Governor Xiao Zhan? I... why didn’t you inform me...”

”What’s wrong, Old Zhao, you’re not going to tell me you’re unwilling, are you?” Qin Tian was startled.

”No, I mean, you’re promoting quickly, I’m also promoted quickly following you, I’m having a hard time adjusting.”

”Haha, if you’re having trouble adjusting, then take your time to adapt. Let me put it this way: among our army, in terms of comprehensive ability and close relationship, no one can compare to you, so you’re the one to accompany me. I need a strong partner.”

”Alright, I’ll do my best.”

Zhao Lanjin hesitated for a moment and said: ”However, I might... in about a month or so, break through and enter the Tribulation Crossing Stage, I would like to apply to retreat for a while.”

”Of course! Haha, entering the Tribulation Crossing Stage is great news for me!”

Qin Tian was so happy that he couldn’t resist giving Zhao Lanjin a warm hug.

”General, someone is visiting outside.”

A soldier walked in and addressed Qin Tian.

”Did the visitor say who they are?” Qin Tian asked.

”The visitor identified themselves as Murong Fei...”

”Hiss, quickly invite her in.”

Upon hearing the name Murong Fei, Qin Tian and Lin Yu exchanged a glance, Lin Yu was surprised: ”Boss, is your wife back?”

Lin Yu knew about Qin Tian and Murong Fei’s relationship in the Spiritual Domain, but Murong Fei had gone to the Imperial City and hadn’t returned for a while, so upon hearing Murong Fei visiting, he was surprised: ”Wasn’t it said that you two couldn’t meet openly...”

”Wife? Murong Fei?”

Zhao Lanjin was a bit puzzled: ”Boss, that Miss Murong, with you...”

”Shh!”

Qin Tian quickly gestured for silence: ”Old Zhao, I won’t hide it from you anymore, she’s actually my fiancée, but for various reasons, I haven’t married her yet...”

”Oh, no wonder you’re promoting so quickly...”

”Hey, my promotion has nothing to do with her, okay.”

”Just joking, you guys chat, I’m off to work.”

Zhao Lanjin and Lin Yu left together, while Qin Tian hurriedly went to the gate to welcome Murong Fei.

Murong Fei was wearing a white outfit, her makeup was light, adding to her ethereal demeanor.

Upon seeing her, Qin Tian quickly approached: ”Murong, why have you come to visit me at the residence, didn’t you say we couldn’t appear too conspicuous?”

Murong Fei looked at Qin Tian and said: ”I have urgent matters to discuss, I couldn’t care about much else.”
