There are only a few disciples from the Intelligence Department and the Discipline Department left in the hall.

Tong Quan'an said: "It's a pity that Zhu Xu and Ma Xuan were killed in the last war. The sect will take care of the aftermath, but the department cannot be left without a leader for a day. If any of you feel that you are qualified for this position,

If you are interested, you can apply to the sect and write a detailed dossier of your life history and achievements and submit it to me, and I will hand it over to the head, and then decide on the candidate."

"Yes." Several people responded.

"You go back and prepare yourselves! Those who are willing to take up this position should hand over the files to me within three days."

"Disciple, please retire." Several people said, leaving the hall and turning into light.

Tang Ning, Lu Guang, and Liu Miao were walking side by side on the same road. Liu Miao asked, "Senior Brother Tang, are you interested in the selection of deacons for this department?"

Tang Ning smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother Lu will definitely participate in the selection!"

Lu Guang smiled: "As long as you meet the conditions, you can participate in the selection of deacons. It's not a bad thing to have more people. It's a big wave! As for whether you can be selected in the end, it is decided by the sect. It is not what you and I can predict. I am lucky to get it."

, I lost my life. If Junior Brother Liu is interested, he can also participate in this election."

Liu Miao said: "I won't join in the fun. I'm not qualified to be selected as a deacon based on my cultivation."

The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived at Zhongzhi Peak. Tangning walked back to the cave.

Liu Miao looked at his receding figure and frowned: "With his reputation and meritorious service, the higher-ups of the sect will definitely value him more. Senior Brother Lu, what do you think are the chances of winning?"

Lu Guang smiled slightly and said, "He has no chance."

Liu Miao was shocked when he heard this. He didn't know why Lu Guang said such unexpected words. He looked sideways and saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were filled with confidence: "What do you mean, Senior Brother Lu?"

"You will know when the time comes." Lu Guang didn't say much, and left with a flash of light.

When Tang Ning returned to the cave, she immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote down in detail all the meritorious deeds she had made in her life and the sect tasks she completed every time.

At nightfall, he left the cave. After a short walk, he came to a majestic and majestic cave. He waved his hand and passed the transmission note inside.

After waiting for a while, the thick fog surged, and a ray of light shot out from within, revealing the figure of a man with a tall and straight body and a fair complexion. He was Chen Yu from the Department directly under the Secret Academy. He bowed his head and said: "Senior Brother Tang, Uncle Tong

Please come in."

Tang Ning followed him into the cave, passed through several passages, and came to the main room. Tong Quan'an was sitting cross-legged on the futon. Chen Yu said, "Uncle, Senior Brother Tang is here."

Tang Ning stepped forward and bowed, "Disciple pays homage to Master."

Tong Quan'an waved his hand and Chen Yu withdrew: "Sit down! No need to be formal."

"Thank you, Uncle Master." Tang Ning sat down as he was told. With a flick of his sleeves, a dossier fell into his hands. He handed it over with both hands: "Uncle Master, this disciple intends to run for the position of Deacon of the Information Section. This is a dossier written by the disciple. According to Uncle Master,

I was told to write down all my life history here."

Tong Quan'an took the file and said with a slight smile: "It's good that you are willing to shoulder the burden of the Intelligence Section."

Tang Ning said: "I hope my uncle can support me."

Tong Quan'an said: "I recognize your ability and strength. I can rest assured that the intelligence department is in your hands. No matter how many people participate in the selection of deacons, I will vote for you when the time comes."

"Thank you, uncle." Tang Ning said. It was expected that Tong Quan'an would support him. In the secret fight between Shi Mingsui and Luo Qingshui as the masters, Tong Quan'an always stood by Luo Qingshui, and the two of them

We have a good personal relationship.

He was personally recommended by Luo Qingshui to join the Intelligence Department. Over the years, he has clearly been labeled as Luo Qingshui's faction. Therefore, he cannot support Lu Guang in public or private matters.

Tong Quan'an said: "In addition to me, the sect also has six stewards of the three halls and three courtyards. You should also move around the others."

"Disciple knows." Tang Ning responded.

In Xuanmen's rules and regulations, the selection of ministers and deacons is jointly decided by all the stewards of the three halls and three courtyards, in a form where the minority obeys the majority. Everyone has the right to vote, including the head, whoever has the most votes If the votes are of the same type, whoever the leader votes for will win.

The Qianyi Sect currently has eight high-level managers. In addition to the master of the three halls, the master of the three courtyards, and the headmaster, there is also Yin Qingyuan, who successfully formed the elixir a few years ago and is now the manager of the Qingxuan Palace. Among these eight people, he must Only by receiving at least five votes can you ensure victory in the competition with Lu Guang.

It is worth mentioning that within the Xuanmen system, taking the Qianyi Sect as an example, not all Jindan monks can serve as stewards of the three halls and three courtyards. These steward positions are limited by quotas, and they are not limited to a certain cultivator. It will be automatically selected based on the level.

There are only ten stewards in all palace departments. In other words, no matter what level, there are only 67 high-level people in the three halls and three courtyards of Xuanmen, including the masters of the three palaces, the presidents of the three courtyards, and seven heads. There are ten stewards of the hospital.

It's just that Qian Yizong has never had so many golden elixir monks, so once they form elixirs, they can naturally take on the role of steward.

The following ministries and departments are also average. It does not mean that you can automatically be promoted to manager after reaching the foundation building level. It is just that most ministries and departments do not have more than ten foundation building monks. Therefore, if the following disciples succeed in foundation building, they will directly serve as managers of the department.

The steward can independently manage a certain aspect of affairs, and at the same time has the power to make decisions on all aspects of the department's personnel, finance, etc.

Take the Intelligence Department as an example. All matters in the department, big or small, must be discussed and implemented after consultation with the managers.

For example, the transfer, promotion, etc. of a certain disciple must be approved by the majority of the supervisors.

If there are fourteen or five foundation-building monks in the Intelligence Department, in addition to the ten stewards, the other four or five foundation-building monks can only serve as captains of the following action teams, or directors of the intelligence station. The treatment they receive is naturally different from that of stewards. Same, there is no doubt about it.

The two chatted for a while, then Tong Quan'an waved his hand and said: "Go ahead! Go to other people's places and move around more, I won't keep you here."

"Farewell, disciple." Tang Ning stood up, bowed, left the cave, and left in the form of light.

………………………

At Zhongzhi Peak, Lu Guang returned to the cave. As he walked to the room, a middle-aged woman with a slim figure and skin as white as snow came out. With a look of concern on her face, it was his wife Zhou Yingxue.

"Husband, Uncle Tong called you to discuss matters for the purpose of selecting the deacons of the Intelligence Department?"

Lu Guang smiled and took her hand into the house: "The main purpose is to distribute the rewards for the battle at Xuanyue Mountain. However, it was also mentioned in the end. Tangning has already decided to participate in the selection."

Zhou Yingxue sighed: "Senior Brother Lu had the foresight! I had expected what would happen today."

Lu Guangdao: "Everything in the world is always unpredictable. Senior Brother Lu was just preparing for a rainy day and taking precautions. After all, he had shown a very strong trend at that time. Anyone would have been wary of it. If the Demon Sect hadn't launched an attack and Zhu Xu died, he wouldn't have There would be no current situation.”

Zhou Yingxue said: "In that case, should I take action?"

Lu Guangdao: "Let's see again! If the selection can go smoothly and normally, there is no need. I have no grudges with him. If it is not necessary, I will not use such a method to offend others for no reason."

………………………

Tang Ning came to the Zixia Peak Cave Mansion, waved her hand, and the talisman disappeared into the thick fog.

Not long after, the thick fog rolled in, and a ray of light flashed out from inside, revealing the figure of a man. It was Luo Qingshui's disciple Yang Chang. He bowed his head and said: "Senior Brother Tang, master, please come in and talk."

Tangning followed him into the living room.

"Senior Brother Tang, please wait a moment, the master will be here soon." Yang Chang said, turned around and left the room.

After waiting for about a minute to drink tea, footsteps could be heard outside, and Luo Qingshui came in from the outside. Tang Ning quickly stood up and bowed, "Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle."

Luo Qingshui sat down at the main seat and waved his hand: "Sit down!"

"Thank you, Uncle Master."

"You must have gone to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Why are you here?"

Tang Ning said: "This morning, Senior Uncle Tong called me to discuss matters, and we talked about the selection of deacons for the Intelligence Section. I have just submitted a file to Senior Uncle Tong and decided to participate in the selection of deacons for the Intelligence Section. Therefore, I came here to listen to my uncle's teachings and to pay my respects to Master."

Uncle is willing to teach me."

Luo Qingshui smiled and said, "Junior Brother Tong, what do you have to say?"

"Thanks to Senior Uncle Tong's promotion, he made it clear that he would support me as the deacon of the Intelligence Section."

Luo Qingshui nodded slightly: "I won't go into details about our Xuanmen's rules and regulations. You should be aware of it. Speaking of this matter alone, if you want to successfully assume this position, you must get the support of at least five people to be sure of victory. Are you ready?

Who should I visit and get their support?"

"Please ask my uncle for advice."

"Junior Brother Peng of the Yuanyi Palace is fair and selfless. Junior Brother Jiang of the Internal Affairs Bureau has a short lifespan and has rarely interfered with the affairs within the sect. Junior Brother Yin, the steward of the Qingxuan Palace, has been promoted to Jindan for a long time. He has always acted as the leader.

.As long as you get the support of two of these three people, you can be sure of victory."

Tang Ning nodded and understood what he meant. Among the eight high-level Jindan monks of the Qianyi Sect, she had already received votes from Tong Quan'an and Luo Qingshui.

The leader, Wei Xuande, has a kind-hearted nature and is a good old man. He rarely expresses his position on personnel appointments. With his achievements over the years, even if he does not support voting for himself, he will not clearly support Lu Guang. This vote

Most abstentions.

Among the remaining five people, Luo Qingshui did not name Shi Mingsui, the head of Qingxuan Hall, and Cheng Shuimin, the head of the Foreign Affairs Council. The meaning was obvious that if he could not get the support of these two people, it would be useless to visit him.

Needless to say, Shi Mingsui would not be able to support him. However, Cheng Minshui had a good relationship with Shi Mingsui and was Shi Mingsui's supporter in the fight for the leadership. There is a high probability that he would also support Lu Guang.

Peng Wanli, Jiang Ming, and Yin Qingyuan belong to the neutral faction and have no obvious tendency, so they need to gain their support.

Tang Ning said: "This disciple is not very familiar with these uncles, so he visited them rashly. I wonder if they have any preferences?"

Luo Qingshui smiled slightly: "You don't have to think about this anymore, You Chang'er can go with you!"
