Chapter 167 Burning the granary(1/2)
Early the next morning, the county magistrate of Pingyu County came to Li's mansion again to visit. Fortunately, he said hello to Mr. Li in advance, otherwise at this time, the two children in the Li's mansion would probably be still sleeping.
Under the reception of Butler Li, the county magistrate took the seat of the conference hall. While picking up a pot of hot tea to the county magistrate, he said respectfully to the county magistrate while picking up a pot of hot tea to the county magistrate.
"Please wait a moment, the master will arrive later."
"No need to do this. I am disturbing Mr. Li at this time. It is not too late to ask Mr. Li to finish the matters at hand and then come to me to find me."
The county magistrate talked quietly and was not at all restrained. After all, just what happened last night, he came today to meet Li Zicheng and Ye Bai. If Mr. Li said that, he would throw out a few reverse hooks, and then he would respond to this matter with satisfaction.
Butler Li just thought that the county magistrate was polite to him, and slowly left the conference hall with a smile on his face. He turned around and went to look for Mr. Li in the back house.
After a while, Master Li was refreshed and walked into the conference hall with the help of Butler Li. The county magistrate was about to get up to greet him, but Master Li waved his hand and sat on the main seat of the conference hall. His legs were raised, and he said to the county magistrate with a little dissatisfied.
"Mr. County lieutenant is so elegant. The county lieutenant has not given me an explanation for what happened last night. Today, I came to pay my respects to the mansion at this time. Haha, I don't know what the county lieutenant has to ask the Li mansion."
Listening to the thorny tone in this sentence, the county magistrate suddenly showed bitterness on his face. After a casual look at Butler Li, his eyes remained on Butler Li.
"Then, the county magistrate and the master, you will talk first, and the old slave will leave."
Butler Li withdrew from the conference hall very tactfully and turned back to the back house. He went there to arouse Li Zicheng and Ye Bai.
In the conference hall, Mr. Li watched Butler Li withdraw from here, snorted coldly, and did not look at the county magistrate. Last night, the county magistrate clearly agreed to take the soldier to the Li Mansion and let him deal with it. As a result, he waited in the conference hall for half an hour but only waited for Zicheng and Ye Bai to come back. Zicheng didn't say anything to him, a father, and took Ye Bai to the backyard to rest.
After waiting for another half an hour, the county lieutenant had no one. Hahaha, this county lieutenant is really a great official power, and he just waited for him for an hour without any movement.
Naturally, now that the county magistrate is coming to the door so early in the morning, how good will Mr. Li be in a good mood?
The county magistrate pursed his lips and whispered to Mr. Li.
"Mr. Li doesn't know that I did go to the military camp where I was bullied yesterday. However, the soldiers in the military camp were not Pingyu's county soldiers, but a personal guard under the command of Prince Zhou. It is said that this personal guard was fighting with Dongxun's Eagle Guard on the front line, and the number of staff was reduced. Then he retreated to Pingyu for a temporary rest."
"Ha, the county magistrate is just telling me that I can't afford to offend Prince Zhou? Let me say it clearly, but I can't hear it. Since that's the case, I'll have to take the county magistrate off, so let's see you off."
Mr. Li hid a needle in his words and mercilessly mocked the county lieutenant.
"Master Li, please listen to me first. The reason why Zicheng was beaten was because he wanted to join the army with the personal guards under the King of Zhou. What I am here to tell you today is about Zicheng's enlistment."
"What, what? Join the army?"
Mr. Li didn't turn his mind around for a moment. This wasn't it because he was still talking about other things, but why did he suddenly turn into the matter of his own baby son going to join the army?
Moreover, I was going to join the army, so why didn’t my father notice any movement at all?
The county magistrate coughed, put on a smile and said to Mr. Li
"Yes, he has come to his age, and it's time to serve Nanli. Mr. Li, what do you want?"
After saying this, the county magistrate took off his sword from his waist and placed it on the table.
Mr. Li's face changed a little, but he still pretended not to see the sword on the table and replied coldly
"I will take over the Li family business in my own future. If you join the army, you should be exempted from joining the army."
Mr. Li himself does not reject or object to Li Zicheng's enlistment or not. However, at this critical moment, Li Zicheng must not join the army.
At this critical moment, Nanli is facing a world-wide enemy, not to mention that Li Zicheng wanted to join the army, but the Shangzhou garrison army under the command of Prince Zhou, who entered the current Shangzhou garrison army. Haha, isn’t that just to let Li Zicheng, a 14-year-old baby, go to the front line in the future?
Sorry, Master Li can only accept that at most let Li Zicheng go to a free place to spend some time in the army, and then come back to inherit the Li family business.
Moreover, can’t you succeed in the Nanli test for fame and fortune?
Mr. Li is not such a righteous person to join the army. On the contrary, Mr. Li still hopes that his family will last forever.
However, the county magistrate changed his face in an instant, his eyes emanated with a cold tone. He said in a tone of no rejection.
"I am not here to seek the opinions of Mr. Li on this matter. I am only here to notify Mr. Li. The matter of enlisting in the army is determined. Mr. Li, my official has submitted the transfer order to the governor's office. Three days later, Mr. Cheng and Ye Bai will join the Shangzhou Garage Army as recommended by the governor."
After the words came, the county magistrate took back his sword on the table, ignored Mr. Li's reaction, and walked out of the conference hall directly.
The transfer order was submitted to the governor of Shangzhou. This is what the county lieutenant was cheating Mr. Li. He was a county lieutenant in Pingyu County. He had no right to submit the transfer order to the governor of a state. What's more, the governor of Shangzhou cannot interfere in any power regarding the military affairs of Shangzhou.
One day when Zhou Dunyi was in Shangzhou, the governor of Shangzhou had absolutely no possibility of interfering in Shangzhou's military. What's more, the position of governor of Nanli has always had only the power of supervision and inspection for the affairs of each state, and the person who is truly responsible for the affairs of a state must be the governor of the state.
However, the position of Shangzhou's prefecture-master has been vacant for four or five years. Seeing that Shangzhou's development is getting better and better, the position of Shangzhou's prefecture-master has also become the target of many people.
That is Mr. Li, who doesn’t even know the twists and turns here, so this county magistrate took advantage of the name of the governor.
Head, let Mr. Li be forced to submit.
You don’t know the twists and turns, but you can’t not know it, right?
In Master Li's eyes, the governor is a person he dare not provoke at all. He can always tell the life and death of his Li family. How dare he object to such a thing that nods in such a person?
The reason why I am tough with the county lieutenant is that the county lieutenant is the first to be so, but what about the governor? What about the governor? What kind of request does the governor need you, a rich man, to help?
After the county magistrate walked out of the conference hall, he did not walk out of the Li mansion, but just walked to the gate of a courtyard gate to wait. Not long after, Butler Li took Li Zicheng and Ye Bai, who had not yet woken up, out of the courtyard.
The county magistrate glanced at Butler Li, and saw that Butler Li had no reaction to this at this time, so he frowned and said
"Mr. Li is waiting for you in the meeting hall. You can go first. I have something to say to Zicheng."
Butler Li was a little confused, but out of trust in the county magistrate, he left Li Zicheng and Ye Bai and ran all the way to the conference hall.
Seeing Butler Li walking away, although Li Zicheng was still a little sleepy, he tried his best to raise some energy and asked the county magistrate excitedly.
"Uncle, is it done?"
"It's done, you and Ye Bai will follow you to the military camp in three days to report."
The corners of the county magistrate's mouth raised slightly, and Master Li could easily solve it. Just use the governor to suppress him. But Li Zicheng is easier. If the general knows about this matter, he should be satisfied.
After hearing this, Li Zicheng picked up Ye Bai directly, looking happy, as if he had received some huge reward.
The county magistrate looked at the current actions of the two children with some relief and said
"Zicheng, you have to know that after joining the army, it depends entirely on yourself. Uncle and your father can't help you, and they can't help you. Also, that army is a partial division led by a personal guard under the command of Prince Zhou. After entering that partial division, you must work hard to fight to kill the enemy on the battlefield as soon as possible, and also promote the reputation of your Pingyu Li family."
Li Zicheng nodded vigorously like crazy. The words that the county magistrate said, those that seemed to him were ignored by him, were all ignored. Li Zicheng was thinking now, when will he be able to join the army? Three days? Alas, he has to wait for three days, it’s been a long time.
But I have been waiting for so long for three days, just for three days. I endured it, gritted my teeth, and hum, after three days, I would follow Ye Bai and walk into the military camp with a swagger. In front of the soldier who slapped him, let him watch himself enter the military camp with his own eyes.
Ye Bai was also a little confused. He didn't know what he should react now. He didn't feel the same way as Li Zicheng's excitement. The reason why he didn't resist this was because this incident should be of no harm to him, a child.
Since there is no harm, I will accompany Li Zicheng. In this way, I can take care of each other, not to mention that I owe Li Zicheng the kindness.
If it weren't for Li Zicheng's words, he might be still begging on the streets of Pingyu County.
It was also because Li Zicheng took him back to the Li Mansion and found a doctor to cure the injury on his leg, which allowed him to experience the first time he could feel what it would be like to be flexible with his legs.
And just in a secret place not far from Li Zicheng and the others, the man in black was looking at them attentively, but after looking at the county magistrate from the perspective, the man in black obviously changed some strange changes.
"He probably won't notice the T-shaped thing."
The man in black murmured to himself
At this moment, Dongxun Jiujiang County.
Shen Baoxu's face was a little ferocious, his eyes glared at the man standing in front of him, and shouted in anger
"You, do you know what you are doing!"
The man did not answer, but just held a sword in his hand, and some blood stains were stained on the tip of the sword.
"What promise did Nanli give you? Do you know that you are treason, you are treason!"
Shen Baoxu covered his injured left chest with one hand, coughed, and at this time he coughed up a pool of blood.
Shen Baoxu was a little unsteady, and his voice became weaker and weaker. The other hand was holding half of the gun body, as for the gun head?
The spear head had been cut in half. Shen Baoxu was also using the half of the spear to support his body at this time, struggling to support his body. If it weren't for this, Shen Baoxu would probably be kneeling on the ground and dying.
"You, you, why?!"
Shen Baoxu no longer has the strength to make any resistance. Not to mention any moves, he didn't even have the strength to swing a shot. Even if he gently lifted the half of the gun body, it had become an extremely difficult thing for him now.
The man got closer and closer to Shen Baoxu. At the end, the man stopped in front of Shen Baoxu, staring at Shen Baoxu with cold eyes, and there was no emotion on his face. Looking at Shen Baoxu's current state, the man said something
"You shouldn't learn martial arts."
After saying this, the man raised the short sword in his hand and was about to slash down towards Shen Baoxu's body.
bite!
Just as Shen Baoxu closed his eyes and waited for death to come, a metal collision sound pulled him back from the edge of death.
When Shen Baoxu opened his eyes again, he only saw Shen Xu's thin body, using the fan bone of his folding fan, colliding with the dagger, and sparking.
Shen Xu gritted his teeth, looked at the man with resentment, turned his head slightly and asked loudly at Shen Baoxu.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"fine."
After hearing Shen Baoxu's answer, Shen Xu felt relieved and roared. All the internal forces in his body burst out in an instant. The ice-blue internal forces formed a solid state around Shen Xu's body. After the folding fan in Shen Xu's hand turned again, the internal forces rushed towards the direction of the man.
The man frowned and quickly took several steps back, but Shen Xu's attack was overwhelming. In the end, the man was hit by Shen Xu's internal force wave and rolled back more than ten meters before stopping.
Turning over from the ground, rubbing the blood from the corner of his mouth, the man looked fierce and said to Shen Xu
"Your fate is counted
big."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man used his light skills to escape quickly without saying a word.
