Chapter 337: Battalion Commander Zhang!
In the capital, at the Southern Division of the Embroidered Uniform Guard,
inside the office where Assistant Commander Bai Hu was stationed,
Zhang Cheng was kneeling on one knee, holding a long sword with both hands, and said, "Reporting to my lord, the rebel Zhao Huaian has been beheaded. His remains have fallen into the quicksand. I have brought his sword back; I humbly request that you inspect it!"
Walking forward, Zhang Cheng handed the long sword to Bai Hu before him.
Upon seeing Zhao Huaian's sword, Bai Hu held his teacup and asked, "What about Yu Huatian? Didn't he go to pursue Zhao Huaian?"
"Lord Yu Huatian's Western Depot unit encountered a black sandstorm and has all perished in the line of duty."
Speaking with a sorrowful tone, Zhang Cheng kept his head lowered, fearing that Bai Hu might see the corners of his mouth curling upward.
Squinting his eyes, Bai Hu could not help but laugh out loud: "Hahahaha, that eunuch Yu Huatian, doesn't he boast of having the number one martial arts? To think he has fallen to such a state, it is truly gratifying!"
And just as Bai Hu was speaking, three people were seen walking in from outside the door.
Leading them was none other than Qing Long, followed by Zhu Que and Xuan Wu.
"Big Brother, that brat Yu Huatian has been sent away by the black sandstorm!"
Happily looking at Qing Long, Bai Hu, who had stood up, immediately began to laugh heartily.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly hearing this news, Qing Long could not help but furrow his brows and ask, "Is that so?"
"At Longmen, this subordinate saw it with his own eyes!"
Speaking earnestly, Zhang Cheng hurriedly cupped his hands.
"This matter still needs to be reported to Commander Lu!"
Waving his hand casually, Qing Long looked at Zhang Cheng and asked, "You killed Zhao Huaian?"
"Yes, when the black sandstorm arrived, this subordinate fought him within it and finally slew him!"
Looking at Qing Long, Zhang Cheng's face was filled with loyalty to the sovereign and the country.
"Arrange your own men as you see fit!"
Glancing at Bai Hu beside him, Qing Long did not say anything else but walked toward the outside.
But just as Zhu Que and Xuan Wu looked at Zhang Cheng, their expressions were quite different.
Zhu Que appeared very appreciative, but Xuan Wu was clearly somewhat wary.
Emerging from the Southern Division, Ding Xiu was already waiting to the side, holding the horses.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu walked up and asked, "How is it, Lord Zhang? Is the reward for this time satisfactory?"
"When working, please address me by my official title! From now on, call me Battalion Commander Zhang, do you understand? Company Commander Ding."
Turning his head to look at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng could not help but pat him on the shoulder.
"What the hell, I've become a Company Commander?"
Looking at Zhang Cheng in astonishment, Ding Xiu's face was filled with shock at this moment.
"That's right, from now on you are a Company Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard with an official rank!"
Happily looking at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng could not help but straighten his robes and said, "From now on, our brothers will grow big and strong!"
"Then what about my five thousand taels?"
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Ding Xiu could not help but swallow his saliva and ask.
Turning his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Ding Xiu and said with disdain, "I am a man of my word, would I owe you money?"
"But you haven't given me any money before either!"
Speechlessly looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu hurriedly roared.
"Didn't I just give you three hundred taels the other day?"
Looking at Ding Xiu with disdain, Zhang Cheng had never seen such a money-grubbing fellow; he was even more excessive than the 'Add-Money' martial artist.
"My Battalion Commander, I acted as a beggar at the entrance of the Western Depot for over ten days, and you don't mention that at all!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng with a look of annoyance, Ding Xiu also hurriedly began to settle old scores.
But looking at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng said with a serious face: "Visiting the brothel for music, are you going or not!"
"I'm going!"
Glancing sideways at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu pondered for a moment, then hurriedly nodded.
Settling accounts can be done anytime; Zhang Cheng couldn't run away anyway, but missing out on the brothel was not an option.
If they went too late, all the pretty girls would be gone!
Walking into the brothel with an air of dominance, Zhang Cheng adjusted his belt, looking incredibly dashing at this moment.
Because not only had he obtained the treasure of Black Water City, but he had also been promoted to a Fifth Rank Battalion Commander.
If you don't understand this official rank, please refer to Director Qi, who spent his whole life wanting to "enter the ministry"!
Zhang Cheng is just like Director Qi now!
But in terms of age, Zhang Mou is more than twenty years younger than him!
When they arrived at the brothel, Zhang Cheng happened to see an acquaintance and immediately waved, saying: "Shen Lian?"
"Battalion Commander Zhang?"
Turning his head curiously, Shen Lian looked at Zhang Cheng with a surprised expression. Just then, Ding Xiu hurriedly said: "He is no longer Battalion Commander Zhang, and I am the one who is Battalion Commander Ding."
"Hmm?"
Looking at Ding Xiu with a face full of confusion, a look of surprise appeared on Shen Lian's face.
"Sorry, Shen Lian, I have been promoted to Battalion Commander!"
Patting Shen Lian on the shoulder, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but lift his head, his face full of "praise me."
Looking at Zhang Cheng with a twitching mouth, Shen Lian didn't know what to say anymore.
Because after mixing for so long, he was still just a Squad Leader!
As for his eldest brother Lu Jianxing, he dreamed of becoming a Battalion Commander, but now it seemed even more remote.
But why did Zhang Cheng and Ding Xiu climb so fast?
Zhang Cheng: Want to know? Go ask Yu Huatian!
Ding Xiu: The Battle of Longmen, no survivors!
Yu Huatian: Damn it, these two old foxes!
"By the way, are you here to find a girl you're familiar with? Come, come, come, join me; I'm a regular here!"

Inviting Shen Lian, Zhang Cheng pulled him upstairs with a smile on his face.
But looking at Zhang Cheng, Shen Lian was too embarrassed to say that he had just come out from inside and had already spent all his money.
Seeming to see Shen Lian's embarrassment, Ding Xiu, who was beside him, hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my Battalion Commander might not have money to buy steamed buns on the side of the road, but coming here, he definitely has money!"
Giving a thumbs up, Ding Xiu spoke with a face full of approval.
Looking at Zhang Cheng beside him, Shen Lian was stunned. Because you don't even have money to buy steamed buns on the road, yet you still come to play in a brothel?
Facing Shen Lian's surprised gaze, Zhang Cheng said: "Why are you looking at me? If you don't pay, it doesn't count as playing, right!"
With his mouth wide open, Shen Lian was left speechless by this statement.
Looking at Zhang Cheng and Ding Xiu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the madam hurriedly rushed over and said: "Oh my, two distinguished guests, you haven't been here for a long time; the girls have all missed you!"
"Is that so? Then that's just perfect."
Walking upstairs with high spirits, Zhang Cheng pointed at Shen Lian and said: "This is my friend. From now on, put all his expenses here on my tab. Don't worry, I'm not short on money!"
"Of course, the guest is the most generous!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, the madam explained.
Two days later, Shen Lian looked at Zhang Cheng and Ding Xiu with confusion.
Because both of them were walking out holding their waists.
"Shen Lian, what about you?"
Looking at Shen Lian's rosy face, Ding Xiu was also stunned.
Because he didn't think Shen Lian was better at fighting than him; could it be that the martial arts he practiced were better than his?
But looking at Ding Xiu's gaze, Shen Lian lowered his head, because he couldn't say that he had been chatting with Zhou Miaotong for two days, could he?
Returning to the small courtyard with two entrances,
Zhang Cheng had just opened the door when he saw the black stone placed on the table.
"It seems your days are about to become unsettled!"
Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu walked up, picked up the black stone, and played with it casually.
Hearing Ding Xiu's words, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said: "This trouble with the Wheel King should be solved sooner, otherwise it won't be easy for me to climb higher!"
"You want to make a move?"
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu was surprised.
Because this guy's desire to kill was truly great; he had just solved Yu Huatian a few days ago, and now he was going to mess with his own superior!
Zhang Cheng: If I don't mess with him, how can I climb higher, how can I walk step by step to the very top!
Wheel King: No need, really no need!
