#105 - The King of Dog Licking

Chapter 105: The King of Simps

South of the city, the Shu Prefecture branch of the Hanging Mirror Division.

Da Ning has a total of thirty-six prefectures, and the Hanging Mirror Division has a branch office in each prefecture, but the scale varies depending on the local situation.

The largest have more than a thousand people, and the smallest have only a hundred.

And the main work content is also different.

In some prefectures, gangs and sects are everywhere, so there are more Cloth-Clad Guards; in some prefectures, the demon disaster is serious, so there are more Willow Leaf Department people; in some prefectures, religious affairs are complicated, so there are more Zongmi Department people...

As for the Inner Guards and the Flower Plume Guards, which were divided out to protect Wei Changtian's life, they are not very important to these branch offices.

The Inner Guards are responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial palace, and the branch offices in various places do not have this establishment at all.

The Flower Plume Guards mainly monitor court officials, and their binding force on local officials can only be said to be better than nothing.

Therefore, Ning Yongnian's acquisition of these two guards greatly reduced the power of the Hanging Mirror Division in the capital, but it did not have much impact on its strength in various prefectures and counties.

At least, this is the case with the Shu Prefecture branch office.

"Tsk tsk, the place is quite big, but why does it feel like a gangster's lair?"

Wei Changtian raised his head, looked at the familiar three characters "Hanging Mirror Division" on the black plaque, smacked his lips, and stepped into the open side door.

If it were in the main office in the capital, someone would definitely come forward and ask "Who are you? What are you doing here?" before he even entered the door.

But now that Wei Changtian had been standing inside the door for a while, two yamen runners ran out of the gatehouse and shouted sharply: "Who's there?!"

Wei Changtian glanced at the two of them, casually threw his token over, and said indifferently: "Tell your Garrison Commander to come out and see me."

"Just a centurion..."

After looking at the token, one of the yamen runners sneered and was about to say something when he was suddenly pulled by the sleeve by the other.

This person was obviously more clever, and after stopping his colleague who almost spoke rudely, he immediately bowed and asked: "May I ask if you are Centurion Wei Changtian, Young Master Wei?"

Wei Changtian didn't speak, just flicked his sleeves.

And this flick directly made the legs of the previous person go weak.

"Wei, Young Master Wei... Ah!"

"Please move to the house for a moment, Young Master."

"Mm."

Wei Changtian stepped towards the main hall not far away and asked casually: "What's your name?"

"Reporting to Young Master, my name is Chu Xianping."

"...Good name."

Wei Changtian paused, praised on the surface without showing any emotion, but a wave of emotions instantly surged in his heart.

Chu Xianping!

Xiao Feng's most powerful assistant in the original work!

The number two figure in the "Dawn" organization!

The only male supporting character with a separate side story in the whole book!

According to the plot, he should meet Xiao Feng by chance next year and become friends.

And he has a beloved woman, who happened to be spotted by a wealthy businessman at that time and was about to be taken as a concubine.

Chu Xianping was in extreme pain, and after Xiao Feng learned about this, he did something he was familiar with—taking him to "rob the bride".

The woman was snatched back, and the wealthy businessman died.

Chu Xianping was both moved by Xiao Feng's "righteousness" and joined the newly established "Dawn" organization for self-preservation, and began to show amazing strategic abilities, gradually becoming Xiao Feng's right-hand man.

The plot development here is still normal, but the author didn't know if he had a fit of sentimentality when writing this paragraph, and he insisted on adding a bloody plot of "ultimate simp"—

The woman Chu Xianping deeply loved actually fell in love with Xiao Feng!

This woman was simply a green tea bitch who admired power and only regarded Chu Xianping as a backup tire.

However, Chu Xianping and Xiao Feng's act of robbing the bride was too sudden, and they snatched her away without explanation, and even killed the wealthy businessman.

Although she was unwilling in her heart, since things were already like this, she had no choice but to follow Chu Xianping against her will.

Later, she fell in love with Xiao Feng, who had the protagonist's halo.

As a righteous character, Xiao Feng naturally couldn't "take what others love", but chose to tell Chu Xianping about it.

Chu Xianping was heartbroken, and then chose...to forgive.

He just sent the woman away from Shu Prefecture, and finally offered all his belongings with both hands.

As for Xiao Feng...of course, he gained Chu Xianping's loyalty because of his "upright" behavior.

After the original author finished writing this paragraph, the subscriptions dropped by half.

Even Wei Changtian still remembers that he specifically wrote a comment at that time—

[King of Simps]

...

Inside the main hall.

Wei Changtian drank tea while looking at the "King of Simps" standing beside him, and had already begun to plan how to bring Chu Xianping under his command.

Although he has the attributes of a simp, this person's strategic ability is indeed first-class, and there are also system points to earn, which is worth his effort.

"Brother Chu."

Putting down the teacup, Wei Changtian asked with a smile: "How many people are there in the Shu Prefecture branch of the Hanging Mirror Division?"

Chu Xianping was a little surprised by Wei Changtian's address to him, but he immediately lowered his head and replied respectfully: "More than a thousand people in total."

"That's quite a few people."

Wei Changtian nodded and asked again: "I saw that the colleague just now seemed very afraid of me... Why aren't you afraid?"

"Young Master..."

Chu Xianping didn't directly answer head-on, but slightly raised his head and said respectfully: "I never listen to rumors, I only believe what I see with my own eyes."

"..."

Look, look!

This level of speaking is different!

Sorry, Xiao Feng, this talent will be mine in the future!

Wei Changtian nodded in satisfaction and was about to say something more, but at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and then three middle-aged men appeared in front of him.

"Young Master Wei!"

The person in the lead stopped in front of Wei Changtian, his face full of nervousness: "We didn't know you were coming today, we didn't greet you from afar, please forgive us!"

A square face, a long beard, and one finger missing on his left hand.

Although Wei Changtian had never met this person, Wei Xianzhis had shown him a portrait.

It was the Garrison Commander of the Shu Prefecture branch of the Hanging Mirror Division—Chen Bo.

The name is too special, it's hard not to remember.

"Lord Chen."

Unlike the polite attitude he had when he met Shao Ying'an in the afternoon, Wei Changtian's expression at this time was quite playful.

He didn't get up, nor did he ask Chen Bo to sit down, and after twirling his fingertips around the rim of the cup twice, he asked calmly:

"When did I arrive in Shu Prefecture City, do you know?"

"You, Young Master arrived at dusk yesterday..."

"Mm, since you know..."

The originally indifferent tone suddenly turned cold.

"Then why didn't you take the initiative to come and see me?!"
