Chronicles of Celestial Origins

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. In the solemn hall, Wang Jing, commander of the 10th Army, took his seat happily. Tang Ning walked in from the outside and bowed to him: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

Wang Jingxing smiled and said: "The future generations are to be feared! After nearly a hundred years apart, your cultivation has reached a higher level. If the disciples of the sect are as brave and diligent as you, there is no need to worry about the demons being immortal."

"This is all thanks to the sect's great blessing, and the disciples are just lucky."

"I already know about you. There happens to be a shortage of column leader position under our headquarters. You should go and take up the post in the third column!"

"Thank you, uncle." Tang Ning bowed to him again.

He was originally only the deputy captain of the column. He left the army privately for many years and returned to the 10th Army. Instead of being punished, he was promoted to column captain. There is no doubt that Nangong Muxue was behind this.

As early as ten days ago, he already knew that he was about to take up this position. Geinangong Muxue had sent someone to deliver the message to him, and the rest was just a matter of going through the process.

Although the position of the coalition column leader is already very high in the eyes of the people below and is the backbone of the coalition force, at Nangong Muxue's level, it is just a matter of one sentence.

As for many trivial matters such as leaving the team without permission for a long time, without reporting, it is not worth mentioning, especially during the war, when it is the time to employ people.

These rules are only effective for those low-level monks with no background. No one will use such rules and regulations to embarrass Nangong Muxue. Even these rules themselves serve Mahayana monks like them.

A few days ago, Tang Ning even received a notice from the financial personnel of the coalition forces to make up for his salary over the years. For him, this was a huge sum of money. Without Nangong Muxue's relationship, he would have been a long-lost coalition force. A monk, if he is not punished, he is already forgiven outside the law. How can he make up for his salary and be promoted to column leader?

"Let's go! I'll take you to your appointment." Wang Jingxing stood up and said.

The two of them left the main hall, and after a short walk, they arrived at the Third Column Meeting Hall.

"Junior pays homage to senior. I wonder if senior has come to our headquarters. What do you want to say?" Two Nascent Soul monks stood in front of the column's meeting hall. One of them saluted forward.

Obviously neither of them knew Wang Jingxing, otherwise they would not have said such words. They just saw that he was wearing coalition uniforms and his cultivation was unfathomable, so they came up to him and saluted him.

This is not surprising. Although Wang Jingxing is the commander of the army, he almost never meets the lower-level monks of the coalition forces. The only ones who can visit him are at least the monks of the column manager level. Moreover, the low-level monks within the coalition army are highly mobile. A large-scale After a battle, it is common for the casualties to add up to 30% to 40%, and new troops will be added from time to time.

"Go and call all the managers of your column." Wang Jingxing glanced at the two of them and went straight into the hall.

The two looked at each other and stayed where they were.

When Tang Ning saw him entering the inner room, she said to the two of them, "This is our regiment commander, Uncle Wang Jingxing."

After hearing this, the two of them realized that the person in front of them was actually the legion commander. They were both shocked and hurried away in response.

"Sit down!" In the hall, Wang Jingxing sat in the main seat and said to Tang Ning who came in from the outside.

"yes."

"The captain of the third column, Han Chunming, was unfortunately killed in the battle with the Mubei demon last year. The position of column captain has always been taken by Inspector Fang Jing. You will know the other personnel when you meet them later, so I won't tell them one by one. I’ve got it for you. From now on, the third column will be left to you. There are frequent wars, and we need the help of capable and capable disciples like you.”

"Disciple will definitely live up to your high expectations."

Wang Jingxing smiled and said: "I am very relieved about you. If anything happens in the future, just come to me. Uncle Nangong said hello to me and asked me to take more care of you."

These were obviously Wang Jingxing's polite words, and Tang Ning knew this well. Nangong Muxue might have approached him to arrange for him to be the captain of the column, but the words of "paying more attention" were definitely not Nangong Muxue's words.

"Thank you, uncle."

The two chatted for a while, and then a middle-aged man with regular features walked in. His eyes passed over Tang Ning, and he felt a little surprised. He then saluted Wang Jingxing, "Senior."

"Fang Jing, this is Tang Ning, the former deputy captain of the tenth column. Now he has been transferred to your department as the column captain. You must cooperate well in the future."

"Fellow Daoist Fang, I have long admired your name. I hope we can work together in the future." Tang Ning stood up and bowed her head in salute.

Fang Jing returned the gift with a smile on his face: "On behalf of all the staff in this department, I welcome fellow Taoist Tang."

The two of them took their seats. After a while, another man in his early fifties with pale temples and a somewhat stooped figure came. He was the deputy captain of the third column, Wang Qi.

As time passed, all the stewards of the column had arrived, and there were only seven people in total.

Wang Jingxing announced the appointment, said a few more high-sounding words, then stood up and left.

Tang Ning, Fang Jing, and Wang Qi sent him out of the palace, and when they saw him walking away, they returned to the inner room.

Generally, the appointment of a column is announced by the officer in charge of personnel of the legion. At most, the deputy captain only makes a trip. It is very rare for a legion commander to personally lead people to convey column-level appointments.

Wang Jingxing was undoubtedly doing this to save Nangong Muxue's face, but in the eyes of everyone, it meant something else.

The fact that the commander of the regiment personally led people to take office is enough to show that he has an unusual background. Moreover, he was only a deputy captain in the past. In terms of seniority, he was not promoted to the captain of the third column. He was obviously a well-connected person picking peaches.

Several people looked at him with something special in their expressions, especially Fang Jing, who was originally the supervisor and acting captain. If nothing unexpected happened, it was reasonable for him to be promoted to captain. He didn't expect to be intercepted along the way, so it didn't matter. With a good face, he kept responding with a smile.

"When I first arrived at the headquarters, I didn't know much about the situation of our column. I will need your support in the future. We all serve the coalition forces and should cooperate with each other and share the same hatred..."

After the discussion, Tang Ning left Fang Jing and Wang Qi behind. The three of them talked for a while about various matters regarding the column. Until the sun set, the three of them ended their conversation and returned to Liu Ruhan's cave. After a while, an accompanying disciple Come in and report that someone has been sent from the Legion Finance Hall.

He then went to the legion finance hall and met with the head of the department.

"Senior Brother Qiu, I wonder why you called me here?" In the spacious and bright room, Tang Ning pushed the door open and saluted the fat-headed and big-eared man sitting inside.

"Junior brother Tang is here, please take a seat. The spiritual stones for your unpaid salary over the years have been approved." The man said with a smile.

"Oh? So soon?" Tang Ning said happily. He really didn't expect to receive this spiritual stone so quickly. It seems that Nangong Muxue's words are indeed effective.

"We are doing something special. If it hadn't been for Uncle Wang Jingxing's greetings, you wouldn't have even thought about receiving this spiritual stone for three to five years. Come on, sign and sign!" The man stood up from the desk. He took out a copy of the file and handed it to him.

Tangning took it and glanced at it, then signed her name, pressed her fingerprints, and signed several files in a row before she was done.

"Okay, your annual salary is all in the sect's account. You can go to the property management pavilion under the sect's name to get it at any time." The man named Qiu turned his hand and handed him a piece of black paper.

"Thank you. If you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first." Tangning took the paperwork and said goodbye.

…

A few days later, Liu Ruhan was successfully transferred to the third column. From then on, the couple worked together.

…

"Disciple pays homage to Master." In the bright hall, Gao Yuan sat down. When he saw Tang Ning entering from the outside, he quickly stood up and bowed in salute.

"Sit down! No need to be polite." Tang Ning waved her hand to indicate that she should take a seat: "Now that you have passed the sect's fifty-year inspection period and become the sect's official disciples, I feel relieved to see that you are all safe and sound."

"It's all thanks to my uncle's great blessing. If it weren't for my uncle's care and promotion, how would I be a disciple today?"

"I heard that both Yuan Ya and Chen Xiaofan were injured. The injuries are not serious!"

"Fortunately, it's just some external injuries. It will be fine if it takes more time to rest."

"Are you still serving in the column directly under the Tenth Army Corps?"

"yes."

"It just so happens that I have just taken office and haven't selected any disciples yet, so come to me! If the war breaks out again, I can take care of you a little, otherwise Yuan Ya will blame me."

"Disciple, obey."

…

The days passed uneventfully for more than half a year. On this day, while he was practicing the Divine Movement Art in his mansion, he received a summons from the legion, asking him to go to the meeting hall immediately.

When he arrived, all the stewards of the inner legion were already sitting there. In addition, there were several column captains sitting in the back row.

"Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle Wang." Tang Ning stepped forward and saluted.

Wang Jingxing waved his hand, and he entered from the back row. Soon, several other column captains who had not yet arrived also entered the hall one after another.

"Everyone is here. We are convening a meeting today. There is an important announcement." Wang Jingxing said: "According to the latest intelligence information, the Mubei Demon has completed its internal integration and will launch a large-scale attack on Pingsha County and Jiangshuang County in Beihai County. , intending to completely drive the coalition forces out of Beihai County. The coalition forces have dispatched troops from Le'an and Linzi to Beihai and requested troops to be stationed in Pingyuan County to launch a counterattack against the Mubei Demon."

"The Mubei demons have concentrated most of their forces in Beihai, and Pingyuan County has insufficient deployed troops. This is a great opportunity for us to counterattack. According to the deployment of the coalition forces, our troops will counterattack the demons occupying Changshan County."

"Our army will be divided into three groups to attack Changshan County. Daoyou Duan and Junior Brother Jia will lead the first, second and third columns to attack Tongyuan City in Changshan County. Daoyou Yu and Daoyou Wu will lead the fourth, fifth and sixth columns. The column attacked Huaxincheng in Changshan County. I and other officers led the direct column and the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth columns to attack Qiyun City, which was the key defense of Mubei Demon in Changshan County. "

"All ministries will immediately integrate their teams, and we will assemble and set off in five days."

…

After the discussion, Tang Ning and others left the main hall and immediately returned to the third column meeting, summoned all the stewards and captains, and conveyed the order.

Five days later, all the ministries gathered outside the column's meeting hall. Tang Ning led the stewards out of the hall. With an order, the warships of each ministry took off one after another. After gathering at designated positions with several other columns, the army marched out of the city.
