The most dangerous backstabs often came from the most unlikely people around them.
Unfortunately, Ye Ning still didn't understand this principle.
He believed that as long as he could control the Overwatch Council, this group of " scourge," he would be able to rest easy.
"We will definitely obey Milord's orders, but if that's the case, how can we guarantee Milord's safety?”
Wei Wentong frowned.
He was convinced by Ye Ning, but not completely convinced.
In the past, as the number one hunter in Jiangnan, he had come into contact with too many unscrupulous things.
He knew all too well that many heroes did not fall in an open charge, but died in despicable assassinations.
He didn't want Ye Ning to follow in his footsteps.
" This..." Ye Ning was quick-witted and instantly thought of a reason. He took out the sword talisman that Wu Sansi had given him and said.
"This is a sword talisman given to me by Wu Tongpan. With this, my safety will definitely not be a problem.”
Everyone looked at Wu Sansi.
Wu Sansi, who was sitting under the tree with his eyes closed, said hesitantly.
"My sword talisman is extraordinary. Even if a true person came to assassinate me, I could still block it. However, I can't be sure of the number and strength of the enemy. For safety reasons, Sir should still be on guard.”
Hearing this.
Ye Ning's heart skipped a beat.
As expected, everyone's expressions changed.
He hurriedly spoke, stopping everyone from speaking.
"Ridiculous. As a sword cultivator, why aren't you confident in yourself?”
"How many True Human Realm cultivators can there be in the entire capital?”
"There's no need to say anymore. I believe in Wu Tongpan. With the sword talisman he gave me, I have nothing to fear!”
Ye Ning put on a posture that did not give any room for negotiation.
Everyone could only give up.
He felt a little emotional.
"The higher one's position is, the more famous one is, the more afraid of death one is. However, Daren is different. Life and death are like floating clouds in his eyes.”
The more everyone thought about it, the more they admired him.
Only such a person could say the famous saying," Even if the world is dark, I am the torch."
Wu Sansi felt even more complicated.
When was the last time someone trusted him so much?
It had been so long that he didn't want to think about it.
Being trusted was a very warm feeling.
Especially for Wu Sansi.
There was a huge crack in his heart, but it was being healed.
In fact, everyone in the Overwatch Council was like this.
They were all hurt, and the "scar" was in their hearts.
However, Ye Ning's appearance made them feel different degrees of healing.
They each took what they needed and drew the nourishment they needed from Ye Ning. Then, they walked out of the darkness and walked towards the light.
This was undoubtedly a form of redemption.
But Ye Ning didn't feel like he was doing anything great.
He looked at the Overwatch Council people in the yard.
His heart was in turmoil.
When he had first arrived in the morning, he had been happy that the Overwatch Council was a bunch of good-for-nothings and walking corpses.
In the end, when he was about to leave at night, it became like this.
The Overwatch Council was full of talents?
Ahahahaha…
Ye Ning was laughing in his heart.
This world was too absurd.
She wanted to cry as she laughed.
"I'm leaving."
Ye Ning had to stay away from them.
Under everyone's reluctant gazes, Ye Ning gradually walked away.
"Daren is really a sincere gentleman. If it weren't for the fact that Confucianism was cut off, I really think he could have become a Saint!”
Wei Wentong sighed.
Ye Ning had done such a big thing today, but had he ever been proud?
No, he didn't.
He even seemed a little sad at times.
Why was he sad?
Wei Wentong guessed that it was because he felt that he hadn't done well enough.
A person like Daren must have high standards for himself.
"If the generals of the border army had half of your character and determination, they wouldn't have been defeated repeatedly and bullied by the barbarians.”
Niu Jinxi was born in the army. Even if the army broke his heart, he still had a trace of concern for the border.
This was reasonable.
After all, his home was at the border.
That was where he was born and raised.
Thinking of his hometown elders who were still suffering, he felt a little worried and ashamed.
"We should feel honored that Great Zhou has Lord Ye.”
"It should also be sad that there is only one Lord Ye in the Great Zhou.”
Wu Sansi took out a pot of wine from somewhere.
He first poured a few mouthfuls into the sword case.
It was just like how his flying sword liked to drink.
Then, he raised his neck and downed it in one gulp.
This was not the first time he had drunk in the Overwatch Council, but in the past, it was hard for bitter wine to enter his throat. Drinking was just to get drunk.
But today, the wine entered his heart, but he didn't know the taste of the wine.
He downed a pot of wine, but he was not drunk at all.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little gloomy because of what he said.
"Everyone, there is no need to be sad. The saddest time has passed. At least we have Lord Ye now. Follow his footsteps closely. The future is definitely bright. Even if all of us die on the road, what we do is meaningful.”
Cai Xianggao, whose head was hurting from Ye Ning's fierce slam dunk, finally recovered. He raised his arm and said passionately.
"We are walking on the right path. Even if there are thorns everywhere, even if we can't see the light, even if we are destined to fail, we are still hot-blooded.”
"Because we firmly believe."
"There will be a time when the wind blows and the waves break.”
Cai Xianggao's voice was very loud.
No matter what the road ahead was, they would definitely face the difficulties head-on.
They swept away their previous decline and were all excited.
"Good, well said!"
"What a good poem, an inspirational poem that will stink for thousands of years!”
"What a good saying,'There will be a time when the wind blows and the waves break, and the clouds sail straight across the sea!'”
This was the power of poetry.
Everyone's emotions were completely stirred up.
At this moment, even if there was a mountain of blades and a sea of flames in front of them, they would not frown at all and would charge forward with a roar.
"Lord Cai is indeed worthy of being the new top scorer. Your literary talent is truly outstanding. Just this poem alone can leave your name in history…It's a pity that there's only one poem. Why don't Brother Cai complete it?”
There were many scholars in the Overwatch Council.
They were also very excited, but they felt even worse.
Because there was only one line in the poem, he only said half of it. It was a very tantalizing thing.
Her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
"I didn't write this poem. It was Brother Ye who encouraged me that day. I don't know if he wrote the entire poem…"
Cai Xianggao said with a bitter smile.
The complete version?
I want it too.
The scholars all felt uncomfortable.
"Sigh, Lord Ye is good in everything, but he has to change his habit of only writing one line in his poems.”
How many times had this happened?
In the beginning, he had helped Jade Dragon to die for the king.
And then to life since ancient times, who has not died.
It had whetted their appetite.
And now, there was a time when the wind and waves would break…
The martial artists probably didn't want to discuss poetry.
They could just listen to it, but there was no need to explore it in depth.
Niu Jinxi interrupted them and looked at Cai Xianggao.
"Lord Cai is the top scorer, and his mind is more flexible than ours. What do you think we should do next?”
Many people looked at Cai Xianggao, waiting for his answer.
They felt that Cai Xianggao was not a bad person. Although he did not have much combat strength, he was smart and could often make suggestions that made people's eyes light up.
Cai Xianggao scratched the back of his head, which had just been hit by Ye Ning, and thought to himself,""Maybe Brother Ye doesn't like me talking nonsense?”
He still couldn't figure out why Ye Ning would suddenly give him a slap.
"No, freedom of speech. Since ancient times, there has been no such thing as being punished for speaking.”
"Yes, I must be thinking too much."
"I'm doing this for the good of the Overwatch Council. If Brother Ye knows, he definitely won't blame me.”
Cai Xianggao quickly convinced himself.
Then, he spoke with assurance.
"Theoretically speaking, Lord Ye should be the one to decide what we should do next.”
" But I think that the Great Zhou belongs to everyone, and the Overwatch Council also belongs to everyone. We can't put all the burden on Lord Ye.”
"We have to share the pressure with him!”
Cai Xianggao pointed at the crowd and said.
"All of you were elites in the past, but because you were ostracized and framed, you were sent to the Overwatch Council.”
"As the saying goes, people are divided into groups. For loyal people like you, you will definitely not associate with traitors and villains!”
"Your friends must also be upright people, right?”
Hearing this, Wei Wentong sighed as if he was thinking about the past.
"Yes, when I was the chief of Jiangnan, I got to know many people with lofty aspirations. They were all very capable and ambitious.”
"It's a pity that the officialdom is dark and can't tolerate them.”
"Some of them were even imprisoned because they offended someone.”
This was a heavy topic.
When everyone heard this, they all recalled the past.
They were now saved and had a future.
But what about his friends?
They were still living in misery!
Perhaps he had already been defeated by reality and admitted defeat. Perhaps he was still fighting, but he was very lonely. Perhaps he was like them, drowning his sorrows in alcohol and numbing himself.
"I have similar friends in the army. Their situation is similar.”
Niu Jin said happily.
The others felt the same.
They all told their stories.
Actually, it was almost the same. This world probably could not tolerate good people.
Those who were truly ambitious, virtuous, and capable did not live as they wished.
This was a great irony.
"I knew it. This is how the world is. The villains are in high positions, and the loyal people are the rats on the street!”
"But that was in the past!"
"Now we have the Overwatch Council and Lord Ye!”
Cai Xianggao felt that his plan was perfect and would definitely be highly praised by Ye Ning.
Therefore, he said excitedly.
"Why don't you all write letters and invite your friends to work in the Overwatch Council?”
Everyone was shocked.
They were too slow to react and did not expect this.
Now that Cai Xiangdian had woken him up, he immediately understood.
"That's right. Rather than wasting time, it's better to fight with Milord!”
"The return of the Overwatch Council to the martial world is definitely not an insult to them!”
"The most important thing is that the Overwatch Council is also very short of people right now!”
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was a good idea.
The Overwatch Council's people were not enough.
Not to mention restoring the glory of their ancestors, it would cover the entire country.
Even in the entire capital, they would not be able to play around with this small number of people.
Recruiting more students was a must.
As for their friends, whether it was their ability or character, they had all been tested.
It completely met the Overwatch Council's requirements.
This was the best of both worlds!
However, there was still a problem.
"Do we have the right to recruit people?"
Wei Wentong was puzzled.
The imperial court had the final say in the transfer of officials.
The Overwatch Council could not interfere with personnel appointments.
If the emperor did not issue an edict, who could lead such a huge personnel transfer?
"Yes!"
Cai Xianggao, who was proficient in all of the Great Zhou's laws, had also studied the Overwatch Council's methods thoroughly. He immediately gave a definite answer.
" In the book on the Overwatch Council's powers and duties set by Taizu, article 1257 clearly states that if the Overwatch Council wants to deal with a major case and is short of manpower.”
"You can borrow any government officials in the world to assist you in an emergency. No one is allowed to stop you!”
"The duration of the loan depends on the progress of the case.”
Seconded?
Everyone pondered carefully.
The so-called secondment had two main points.
The first was that the Overwatch Council really did have a shortage of manpower, and then there was a difficult case on hand.
This was not a problem at all.
Was Marquis Weiwu not troublesome enough?
Aren't those lawless nobles and ministers in the capital who have joined the immortal sects troublesome?
The second was the secondment period.
But this was not a problem.
If the Overwatch Council wanted to fight against the injustice of the world, who knew how much resistance they would face?
It was definitely impossible to come up with a result in a short period of time.
In other words, if one day, the Overwatch Council really succeeded and dared to call the sun and moon to change the sky, then what was the point of being an official?
It would be good if he could enjoy his old age.
Of course, that was only an ideal situation. Reality was definitely not that good.
"This matter can really be done, but should we ask Milord?”
Wei Wentong asked.
"There's no need. Do you think His Excellency will object? Why don't we give him a surprise?"
Cai Xianggao said with a smile.
Everyone nodded.
Yes, that made sense.
How could Lord Ye, who had noble character and integrity and was bent on saving the country, object?
It was completely impossible!
"Lord Cai, Lord Ye must be very happy to have a confidant like you, right?”
Some people envied their friendship.
"I don't know what Lord Ye thinks, but I can only say that I can follow him.”
Cai Xianggao said with a smile.
The entire Overwatch Council was in a cheerful mood.
