Hou Junji had a headache, and he couldn't get enough water. When he was thinking from the other side, he decided something. If he was Wenji, he might have been angry. But Wenji still acted as if he was a mountain. He had obviously had 5,000 people in his hand, but he was cautious and overthinking. The caution made Hou Junji admire him.

Although the price cut did not give him a specific deadline, so that he would kill Wenguan within a few days. However, Hou Junji did not dare to relax at all, because he had discovered Wenguan's intention to march so slowly. He killed a different general and seized three thousand elite soldiers. After he crossed the Yellow River, if he killed some officials, who would know how many more his subordinates would increase. The more he would drag his days, the more beneficial it would be for Wenguan. However, Hou Junji would find an opportunity to attack again.

He tried to anger Wen Gu. Even if he didn't chase him out in person and sent any of the two little girls around him out, Hou Junji firmly believed that as long as he killed any of them, Wen Gu would never calm down again. But unfortunately, Wen Gu could not come out, and the two girls would not come out.

After breakfast, the officials and soldiers buried the bodies of the imperial guards who were killed by Hou Junji and others yesterday, and then began to rectify their troops. It seemed that they were about to go on their way.

Hou Junji shook his hair in anger, but still didn't think of a good idea. He was not a person who had been trained since childhood. He had no background. He could only rely on his intelligence and ability to adapt to changes. But now Wendian is like a hedgehog that has stood up, and he has nowhere to dig in his mouth if he wants to bite. The most important thing is that this hedgehog is ridiculously big. If he wants to, he would swallow the people on his side in one bite.

He paced back and forth, but couldn't find his way.

"Let's go first."

Hou Junji gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead and wait for them. The county town is less than seventy miles ahead. Wen Gu must go into the city to meet the county magistrate. Let's go into the city and have much greater chance of becoming a living than in the wilderness."

More than a hundred secret spies received the order and destroyed their tracks and rushed to the county town ahead. After a seventy-mile journey, they would pass by several dilapidated villages, but they had no chance to start. Hou Junji thought for a while and divided his secret spies into two teams. One team continued to provoke with Wenshou's team, making Wenshou think that he had not entered the county town in advance. He led another team and entered the small county town at the fastest speed before Wenshou's team.

The small town of Lu County, Jibei County is not far from the south bank of the Yellow River. After leaving Lu County, you can walk north for a day and see the tumultuous Yellow River water.

Wang Lingzhi, the county magistrate of Lu County, is said to have also been from the Wang family in Jiangnan. I don’t know if he has no money to give gifts to the court. Since the reign of the Great Sui Dynasty was changed to Daye, he has been the county magistrate in Lu County. Regarding the county magistrate of Jibei County, Wang Chuntang, was still his junior, but since he entered the official position, he became a county magistrate for one year, and then was transferred to the Ministry of Rites to serve as a junior. After working as a minor official in the Ministry of Rites for two years, he didn’t know what was wrong and was directly put down and served as the county magistrate of Jibei County.

Wang Lingzhi didn't know the key, nor did he want to know. He felt that he had been a county magistrate for eleven years. Although he had not been promoted, he had not been dismissed.

Because of the heavy rain, he did not know that the person who was most trusted by His Majesty the Emperor was stationed about 70 miles south of Lu County. If he knew, he would have brought all the people and gentry in the county government to greet him. In fact, Wang Lingzhi was also a person with some ability. Otherwise, Wang Bo would be rampant in Jibei County and Lu County could still exist safely. This is a miracle.

After the weather cleared, Wang Lingzhi's mood also improved.

There was nothing wrong with him in the small city. The total number of people in this city was only three or four thousand. Some of them were the families of the Jibei Army's rebels, and he couldn't manage them even if he wanted to. This is why Lu County has never been conquered by the Jibei Army. Wang Lingzhi's ability is to not cure and let it go.

When he woke up early in the morning, Wang Lingzhi punched a set of fists in the yard. Although it was a fancy fist, it also had the effect of strengthening the body. After sweating, he felt that his whole body became transparent. Wang Lingzhi took a hot bath under the comfort of his maid and concubine. While enjoying it, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.

"My County Lord...My County Lord..., go to the county government."

"What's up!"

Wang Lingzhi asked a little annoyedly: "Isn't it because Zhishilang asked someone to ask for food again? Tell him that there was no food stored in the granary that had not been enough for two months. If he wanted it, his family in the Jibei Army in the city would also be hungry!"

"It's not someone sent by Zhisero... it's someone from the palace."

"The palace...inside the palace?!"

Wang Lingzhi stood up from the bathtub suddenly, and there was no need to care about any unruly things.

"who!"

"Mr. Wen, the commander of Longting Guard, led his army north to Yanmen Pass and passed our Lu County, saying that he was coming to visit the master!"

"ah!"

Wang Lingzhi trembled violently, and his face changed in fear.

"Wen...Wen Yidao..."

...

...

When Wang Lingzhi put on his official uniform and rushed to the county government office, the person sent by Wen Jie from Longting Guards had been waiting for him in the living room for a long time. Sitting in the living room drinking tea was a young man with a gloomy face. He was only about twenty years old, but he was very talented. His nose was as firm as an eagle's beak, and he wore a blue brocade dress with a pattern of flowing clouds embroidered on it. This kind of clothing was seen by Wang Lingzhi when he was in the capital eleven years ago. It was the unique clothing of Longting Guard, the most powerful guard in the palace.

Although I have only seen it once, Wang Lingzhi has a deep memory.

He had thanked him in the Golden Palace before he took office that day, and the mighty Dragon Court guards who were on duty in the Golden Palace that day were still vivid in his memory when he recalled it. Especially, the handsome and weird eunuch standing beside the emperor, he would never forget it after just one glance. The man's eyes were so cold that he looked a little cold, and just one glance, it was as if imprinted in his heart.

Later he specifically inquired about it. The man was Wen Gun, the commander of the Longting Guard who grew up with His Majesty. Although he was a eunuch, he was deeply trusted by His Majesty. The emperor personally gave him a letter, name and a knife.

The young Dragon Courtyard Guards arrived and did not stand up even when they saw Wang Lingzhi arrive. They still sat firmly on the chair and savored the invaluable tea leaves, lowered their heads and blew the heat.

"Who is this adult?"

After entering the door, Wang Lingzhi looked at the leash and asked carefully. Although in terms of official positions, he was a seventh-rank county magistrate, and he had a better identity than a non-rank leash and was from the palace, and he was the guard of the Dragon Court, the emperor's most confidant guard. Although he was just a leash, who knew which family was from a wealthy family? If he was born in a noble family, he would have fame as soon as he was born, so Wang Lingzhi spoke a little politely, and even had a little humility.

"Are you the magistrate of Lu County?"

The brigade looked at Wang Lingyi casually, then stood up and said with a stern face: "The Duwei has arrived almost twenty miles away and is about to enter the city soon. Since you are the county magistrate of this county, then go and prepare now. The Duwei ordered the county magistrate not to go out to greet him. The Duwei is tired from coming far away, so you can prepare your place to live. Also, the Duwei is so quiet, so don't be too noisy in the place you arrange."

After saying that, the lieutenant was about to leave, and more than a dozen Jinyi guards who followed him followed him, not even looking at Wang Lingzhi at all.

Wang Lingzhi sighed, thinking that every person from the capital who understands the rules is above the top, but just a group of guards, pretending to be second and third rank officials of the imperial court.

"What? What are the county lords waiting for?"

Seeing that Wang Lingzhi was standing there hesitantly and did not move, a trace of impatience and disgust flashed between his eyebrows.

"Where is this adult going?"

Although Wang Lingzhi was unhappy, he still spoke politely.

"Didn't I just say it? I asked you to arrange a quiet place to rest. Didn't you hear it? I naturally have to choose the place where the head of the head wants to live. As for the safety guard, I won't worry about the county lord."

...

...

After thinking about it, Wang Lingzhi still didn't dare to set up the place where Wen Zhang lived at the inn. He opened up the place where he lived in the county government, and then ordered people to clean it up thoroughly, change to a new set of bedding, and even the curtains were replaced. When cleaning up, the Long Ting Guards stood on the side with their hands pressed on the horizontal knife and monitored them. The maids looked a little uncomfortable when they were staring at them with cold eyes.

"My sir, may I ask you your surname?"

Wang Lingzhi smiled and walked to the Luxue and asked politely. He naturally pulled the Luxue's hand, and then a pack of silver was naturally stuffed into the Luxue's hand.

After weighing the weight of the silver, the Lu Rui's expression was relieved. However, the smile seemed a bit false, but it was much better than before. From his skillful gesture of weighing the bag of silver, Wang Lingzhi could infer that this person was an insatiable guy. From Jiangdu to Lu County, I don't know how much money he collected along the way.

"My surname is Zhou, and Zhou Zhiming."

The captain smiled and said, "The county magistrate is intent."

Wang Lingzhi quickly said politely: "Where is it? By the way, Lord Zhou, when will the Duwei enter the city?"

Zhou Zhiming said: "After the county lord arranges, I will send someone to report to the Duwei. I guess the Duwei is now resting twenty miles outside the city. It will only take an hour to go back and forth."

"Since that's the case, I will personally go to welcome the Chief Commander."

"If the county lord wants to go, it's okay, but there is something I want to explain."

Zhou Zhiming looked at Wang Lingzhi and whispered: "The Duwei dislikes the most comrades who mobilize the troops, nor do they like the lively and cumbersome etiquette of local officials. Therefore, if the county lord goes there, don't bring too many people, and even more so, the people and gentry in the city should not be exhausted. Moreover... we have never disturbed the county lord after entering the city, right?"

“Yes, yes!”

Wang Lingzhi smiled and said, "I naturally understand this!"

"Okay, let's go."

Zhou Zhiming said as he walked, "By the way, Lord Duwei was wet from the rain, and he was a little cold and felt a little uncomfortable. You'd better prepare a carriage. I think Lord Duwei will be happy."

For some reason, Wang Lingzhi felt that Zhou Zhiming smiled so scary.
