Chapter 36 What are you against?
While going to the Blood River Forest to resist the monsters, Mu Feng was still worried that something might happen to Ding Chen.
However, he didn't expect that the Ninth Prince had good luck and had talented brothers to help him. Not only did nothing happen to him, he was also appreciated by Pei Menglong.
With time, there may be a chance to take advantage of the situation.
"Mr. Sheng, this is good news!" Mu Feng looked at Li Sheng.
Li Sheng didn't care about Chen Xian's strength. After all, Chongyuan realm was nothing. He himself was in Chongyuan realm, and there were more demon-suppressing soldiers in Chongyuan realm among the nine camps.
"Oh, what good news?" He looked at Mu Feng.
Mu Feng said: "Think about it, this boy is very powerful. He kills many demons and monsters, which means he will get great credit. The credit that will be passed on to Master Sheng will also be great."
"After this battle, the court will reward people for their contributions. Master Sheng, you are sitting still in the camp. It's a good thing to get credit for nothing."
Li Sheng nodded secretly: "It is indeed a good thing, but Pei Menglong wants to get rid of Chen Xian and cut off my good opportunity to make achievements. What do you think I should do?"
Without waiting for Mu Feng to speak, Wang Pei snorted coldly: "Who the hell is Pei Menglong? How dare you snatch someone from Master Sheng? Do you want to quit your job?"
Li Sheng frowned. Although he was a bit of a dandy, he was not a fool.
Although the Pei family cannot be compared with his Li family, Pei Menglong is indeed a figure.
Even General Sun of the Ninth Battalion did not try to suppress Pei Menglong's arrogance.
He came to the Demon-Suppressing Pass, but has not achieved any credit so far. Even if he has made some achievements, they were earned by the cook camp led by Ding Chen during this period. They were credited to his name, but they are not enough to be discussed.
Therefore, the only person who could suppress Pei Menglong was his own grandson.
But this is a military camp, and if Pei Menglong follows the rules, he has to behave himself.
Li Sheng looked at Mu Feng. He felt that Mu Feng was a little better than Wang Pei, the brainless idiot.
Mu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I think you can change your attitude towards the cooks. For example, you can give them some resources they need for cultivation, such as elixirs, spirits and flesh, skills, weapons, armor, and war horses. You can also equip them with some young and energetic soldiers. This way, they will be more courageous when they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
"Of course, we can also expand their number, for example, from one hundred to three hundred."
"In this case, I believe Chen Xian will not be willing to leave the cook camp."
"I object!"
Wang Pei spoke immediately after hearing this. He looked at Li Sheng and was about to say something, but suddenly his eyes fell on Liu Dingchun.
Li Sheng frowned and said to Liu Dingchun, "General Liu, you go ahead and do your work. I'll send someone to tell you if there's a decision."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Dingchun nodded repeatedly and left the tent.
Li Sheng looked at Wang Pei and asked, "What do you object to?"
Wang Pei glanced at Mu Feng and said, "Master Sheng, don't forget that 'Ding Chen' is the Ninth Prince. If you cultivate him like this, what if he becomes a threat?"
Li Sheng raised his eyebrows. He had not forgotten this, but Ding Chen was lucky and was still alive and well.
Mu Feng frowned and said, "Mr. Sheng, you only want to target the Ninth Prince. In fact, you can promote Chen Xian to the rank of second lieutenant or first lieutenant in the cook camp. This will make them jealous of each other, and you can win over Chen Xian and others to train them as your own."
"If they are willing to be used by you, wouldn't it be easy to kill Ding Chen?"
Li Sheng's eyes lit up. He felt that Mu Feng was right. This would not only stabilize Chen Xian.
If he could train Chen Xian and make contributions for him, his military rank in the barracks could be promoted.
Wang Pei, who was sitting next to him, rarely objected. He couldn't find any loopholes in Mu Feng's proposal.
Seeing Wang Pei remained silent, Li Sheng slammed the table and said, "Let's do it!"
Wang Pei suddenly said, "Master Sheng, this method is possible, but I don't recommend sending them more troops. Once the situation becomes too powerful, it will be difficult to control."
Li Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Since he wanted to win Chen Xian over to become his own, it would be unreasonable for him to be without sincerity.
"Three hundred people, please! Promote Chen Xian to lieutenant of the cook army and command the cook camp. If there is anything, report it to me or Liu Dingchun individually."
Hearing this, Mu Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Sheng is a man who is swift and resolute in his actions. He is a man who can accomplish great things."
Wang Pei glanced at Mu Feng and remained silent. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"You guys drink first. I'm going to sit in General Sun's tent." Li Sheng stood up with a smug look on his face and walked out of the tent.
Li Sheng left.
Wang Pei stared at Mu Feng: "What is your intention in giving Master Sheng such advice?"
Mu Feng picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "I don't understand what you mean, brother."
Wang Pei snorted coldly: "Mu Feng, why are you pretending? Don't think I don't know that the Ninth Prince's mother, Lady Su, once spoke for your Mu family. You remember the favor in your heart and secretly help the Ninth Prince."
Mu Feng's face turned cold when he heard this, and he raised his voice: "Wang Pei, if you say that, I, Mu Feng, will be upset. Did Lady Su speak for my Mu family at the beginning? She almost ruined my Mu family."
"The Ninth Prince has no background or power, and he is useless. Why should I help him secretly? What benefit will it bring to me and my Mu family?"
Wang Pei stared at Mu Feng coldly, and suddenly he smiled and said, "Brother Mu, don't get excited. We all support the Sixth Prince, so we don't want to see the Ninth Prince gain power, right?"
"I'm glad you understand!" Mu Feng turned away angrily.
"Calm down, calm down..." Wang Pei raised the wine glass and clinked it with Mu Feng. Mu Feng did not care too much and raised the glass to drink it all.
……
at dusk.
Liu Dingchun personally brought people to the cooks' camp to recruit 200 cooks, all of whom were young and strong, mid-to-late stage blood-moving warriors or perfect warriors.
At the same time, training resources, as well as armor, horses and good weapons were also sent.
This scene made Chen Xian and others at a loss.
"Meet General Liu!"
Ding Chen led his men forward to salute.
Liu Dingchun nodded secretly: "Who is Chen Xian?"
"I am!" Chen Xian stepped forward.
Liu Dingchun looked Chen Xian up and down. Although he knew that Chen Xian was only eighteen years old, he was secretly surprised when he saw him. He was indeed a handsome man.
"From now on, Chen Xian will be promoted to lieutenant of the cook camp, commanding 300 cooks and obeying the orders of this general. Of course, if you have any questions, you can also consult your immediate superior, Captain Li."
Liu Dingchun announced it publicly.
Not only Chen Xian and others were stunned, but also Liao Zipeng, Lieutenant Lu and others who followed them were confused.
Especially for Liao Zipeng, before a day had passed, Chen Xian was already at the same level as him, which made him feel really unwilling.
But when he thought that Chen Xian was working for Master Li Sheng, he felt a little more balanced.
"Lieutenant?"
Chen Xian frowned and looked at Ding Chen, Wang Yan and others around him.
At this time, a lieutenant came forward and handed over the armor and lieutenant token and said coldly: "Lieutenant Chen, congratulations!"
"Thank you General!"
Chen Xian didn't say much. He took the armor token and turned to hand it to Xue Qishan.
Liu Dingchun smiled and said, "Do your job well. If you need anything, you can find Captain Li or me. You have the final say on the matters of the cook camp."
"Yes, General!" Chen Xian nodded.
He is not stupid. Expanding the cooks' camp is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The emphasis on promoting him to lieutenant general was obviously intended to sow discord.
