Chapter 129
Zheng Tiejun said, "After I leave, Zhao Youcai will temporarily take over the position of general of the Mayi Guard."
Zheng Tiejun looked at Lin Feng, "Brother Lin, you should cooperate with Youcai and manage the Mayi Guard well."
Lin Feng clasped his fists and said, "I obey your orders."
Everyone was not too surprised by this result.
After Zhao Youcai came to the Mayi Guard, he was deeply trusted by Zheng Tiejun, and the two were as good as brothers.
No matter how capable Lin Feng was, Zheng Tiejun only regarded him as a subordinate.
Many old people in the Mayi Guard were recruited by Lin Feng.
They hoped that Lin Feng would become the general of the Mayi Guard, but their say did not count in this matter, and even their stay or departure was in the hands of others.
Sun Yu, Zhang Xiaoyu and others were indignant.
Lin Feng had made so many contributions, why couldn't he compete with Zhao Youcai who had just arrived.
Lin Feng's mentality was still calm.
The interim general was not a real general.
It would count only after the appointment was officially made.
It's not that I don't have a chance.
Even if I can't become a general of the Ma Yiwei, I can be a deputy general.
I'll live well for two years and improve my martial arts first.
It's just a pity that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was missed.
Zheng Tiejun invited everyone to drink.
At the banquet, everyone went to toast Zheng Tiejun and Zhao Youcai.
Lin Feng and his friends were deserted here.
Among the few people Lin Feng recruited at the beginning, many of them went to Zhao Youcai to toast, and it was obvious that they had already joined Zhao Youcai's team in advance.
Zhou Haitao was a little angry, and he felt it was not worth it for Lin Feng.
"Brother-in-law, this is too unfair."
Lin Feng took a sip of tea, "Fairness is only the wishful thinking of the weak.
Fairness can only exist when the strength is equal.
If we are not equal to others in strength, don't expect fairness.
Brothers, don't complain.
We have gained a lot in the past six months.
Without the general's shelter, we are still hunting and farming.
Let's take a step back.
If the general really wants to suppress us.
Except for me, the deputy general, the general can find a reason to take you guys down.
But he didn't do that.
The general still knows how to leave a way out for others.
As I said, improving strength is the most important thing.
It's better to think about how to improve strength instead of complaining."
Zhou Haitao thought about it and felt that what Lin Feng said made sense.
"Brother-in-law is right, then I will eat more and grow more strength."
Zhou Haitao began to eat and drink.
The others, led by him, also followed suit.
Lin Feng drank tea and ate vegetables leisurely.
He had only a little bit of dissatisfaction in his heart.
This all came from the strong backing of the system.
What if he couldn't become a general of the Mayi Guard?
What if he left the Mayi Guard and continued to be a hunter?
As long as the system was there, he would sooner or later become a master like his teacher.
I got three Jiazi Zenggong Pills today.
This is another 180 breakthrough points.
Hmm? What's going on?
Can't a Jiazi Zenggong Pill only be exchanged for 30 breakthrough points? How did it become 60?
Did the Jiazi Zenggong Pill that Zheng Tiejun gave him before have water?
No matter what, it's a good thing that the additional breakthrough points have increased.
After using up the breakthrough points this time, Lin Feng estimated that his realm should be improved.
He has been stuck in the Stone Flesh Realm for a long time, and it's time to be promoted to the Iron Flesh Realm.
After dealing with everyone, Zheng Tiejun found Lin Feng with a glass of wine.
"Brother Lin, let's talk further."
Lin Feng held a teacup, and Zheng Tiejun held a wine glass. They came to the corridor and looked out the window.
"Brother Lin, I'll punish myself with a glass of wine first. I broke my promise this time. I didn't push my brother to the position of the general of the Mayi Guard."
Zheng Tiejun gulped down the strong wine in the cup.
Lin Feng looked at him without saying anything, waiting for his next words.
Zheng Tiejun continued: "I know in my heart that if it weren't for Brother Lin, I wouldn't be able to sit in this position of city lord.
But the position of the general of the Mayi Guard doesn't count.
Zhao Youcai helped me a lot to sit in the position of the general of the Mayi Guard.
The elders of Zhao Youcai's family are inner disciples of the Sword Sect.
They have a certain say in the appointment of the personnel below.
Now their family wants to place Zhao Youcai in the Mayi Guard, and we can only make room for him."
Lin Feng's face remained unchanged, but he was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Zhao Youcai had such a background.
Zheng Tiejun continued, "If you can't be the general of the Ma Yiwei, Brother Lin can also be the county magistrate of the county government or the general of the city guard.
As the city manager, I can't manage the Ma Yiwei, but I can manage the county government and the city guard."
In any case, Zheng Tiejun recognized Lin Feng's ability to do things.
He hoped that Lin Feng could continue to work for him under him.
That's why he wanted to get Lin Feng to the city guard or the county government.Lin Feng then drank the tea in the cup.
"Thank you for your kindness, General. I need to think about it for two days."
"No hurry, you take your time to think about it.
My door is always open to Brother Lin."
The two chatted for a while, and the rift in their hearts was resolved a lot.
There is no fairness or right or wrong in the adult world, only pros and cons.
Zheng Tiejun promised to let Lin Feng be the general of the city guards or the magistrate of the county government, which is considered to be the most benevolent.
Lin Feng did not agree, not because he thought these two positions were not high.
But because Zheng Tiejun broke his promise.
He did not fulfill his promise last time, and this time he may not fulfill his promise again.
You must be on guard against others, and you must act carefully.
What if Zheng Tiejun and Zhao Youcai set a trap for me and kicked me out of the official organization of Qinghe County?
People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, it is not impossible.
Lin Feng really needs to think about this matter carefully.
Even if Zhao Youcai became the general of the Ma Yiwei, he had no right to remove himself as the deputy general.
He could still survive.
But it was different when it came to the City Guard and the County Yamen.
The City Lord's Mansion was in charge of the government affairs of a county. If they wanted to remove the county magistrate of the county yamen or the general of the City Guard, they only had to make a report.
Lin Feng was ready to wait and see.
Zheng Tiejun and Lin Feng returned to the table, talking and laughing.
Others saw that Lin Feng had not been completely ignored.
A few people came over to toast Lin Feng.
Most people sat still. Those people had already chosen to join Zhao Youcai, so they naturally had to distance themselves from Lin Feng.
The two teams could only please neither side.
After eating and drinking.
Everyone sent Zheng Tiejun to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, the new general of the City Guard and the magistrate of the County Yamen had been waiting at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion for a long time.
When they saw Zheng Tiejun coming out, they all bowed and nodded to congratulate him.
Zheng Tiejun just nodded.
Changing the city lord is no small matter.
There will be an appointment ceremony in a few days, and the Sword Sect will also send people to support Zheng Tiejun.
Zheng Tiejun thanked the people of the Ma Yiwei and asked them to go back.
He led a group of people into the city lord's mansion.
When the people of the Ma Yiwei saw Zheng Tiejun entering the city lord's mansion, they all returned.
When they returned, they were divided into three small groups.
Lin Feng and his four people were in one small group.
The neutral people were in one small group.
The largest group was naturally Zhao Youcai's group.
The Red River Double Guns followed behind Zhao Youcai.
Back at the Ma Yiwei headquarters, Zhao Youcai put on an official air and assigned tasks to everyone.
But he deliberately didn't assign tasks to Lin Feng and his four people.
Lin Feng didn't care. Let's see how long you can be arrogant?
