Zhao Shoujing knows the cruelty of the officialdom very well.

Qinghe County has been in a drought for so long and has been hungry all over the ground. How has anyone ever asked about the royal court?

Over the past year, Zhao Shoujing got up early and went to bed late every day, tried every means to get rid of the demons, and sent people to Anyang to transport survival supplies every day.

He is trying to make everyone live without leaving his hometown.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Even if there is no candidate, there will be no major problems if you are empty for half a month." Xu Ye said.

I would rather lie flat at home than be an official.

Once you enter the court and become an official, there is no room for free practice.

If a person is in the officialdom, how can he not be stabbed?

It would be great to collect fruits and sell some money to practice in your own home, in various places.

Zhao Shoujing was a little disappointed.

Outside the carriage, a voice came: "Mr. Zhao, the flying chariot is ready, please come on the chariot."

It is a thousand miles away from Qinghe County to Anyang. If you are a carriage, you can run with all your strength and not eat, drink or rest. You can reach it in less than an hour by taking a flying chariot.

Zhao Shoujing and Xu Ye got off the carriage.

Not far away was a flying chariot pulled by a strange beast.

Two guards were waiting.

Zhao Shoujing glanced at the two guards and said to Xu Ye again: "One time and another time..."

He waved his hand a little, and Xu Ye understood and walked over.

Zhao Shoujing whispered in his ears: "The situation in Shangyuan is very serious and may affect Anyang at any time. A secret letter reveals the news that some evil demons may have penetrated Anyang."

Xu Ye showed surprise.

Zhao Shoujing continued: "Some county town officials were taken over by demons, controlled the patrol team, and wanted to kill the monks in the city. Three of the five counties in Shangyuan became evil demons."

“…”

"Sima Changkong dares not say it, I'll say it." Zhao Shoujing said.

"So you are looking for me as a scapegoat?" Xu Ye said.

"How is that possible?" Zhao Shoujing said seriously, "I, Zhao Shoujing, have a clear conscience and can't do such despicable things."

Xu Ye didn't say anything.

Zhao Shoujing bowed: "Even if he doesn't become a chief official, I don't think Brother Xu would want to see Qinghe County destroyed, right?"

Whether an official or not is not important at all.

If there were really demons who wanted to pacify Qinghe County and carry out a tragic bloody swamp like Shangyuan, would he sit idly by?

Xu Ye was silent.

Zhao Shoujing lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Please."

After saying that, he turned around and flew into the flying chariot.

Xu Ye watched him disappear into the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

Since his birth, Zhao Shoujing has been in charge of Qinghe County.

In fact, the most difficult thing to be a local small official, who has to take care of everything from major cases of life to neighbors moving stools in the street to scolding each other.

In this regard, he is indeed a good official.

...

Xu Ye summoned the ancient map and confirmed that the light spot had left the boundary before returning to Xu's mansion.

The next day and night, Xu Ye didn't leave the gate and just practiced.

The next morning.

The peaceful atmosphere in Qinghe County took a sharp turn for the worse.

I don’t know where the “rumor” came from, saying that the demons and humans had another conflict, and that Shangyuan suffered millions of casualties.

For a moment, people were in panic.

Some monks were afraid of something, so they left the city overnight and rushed to Anyang. Some even paid a lot of money to go to Yudu.

Some people don’t believe it, eat and drink.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, the government issued a notice, defining this message as a "rumor".

The rumors eventually caused obvious changes, and fewer monks came to check in, and outsiders who did not belong to Qinghe County returned.

For them, safety is more important.

Only a small part of them think that Qinghe County has a sword immortal and a statue in charge, which is safer than Anyang. It is completely unnecessary to escape.

The third morning.

Xu Shigong called Xu Zhi and Xu Ye.

As soon as Xu Ye entered the hall, he saw his grandfather Xu Shigong paced back and forth, and was a little anxious.

"Father, are you asking us for something?" Xu Zhi asked in confusion.

Xu Shigong nodded and said, "I have a friend who escaped from Shangyuan... Shangyuan is already a purgatory on earth."

"..." Xu Zhi was stunned.

Xu Ye said: "So serious?"

"After all, paper cannot keep the fire, and the government cannot keep the hearts of the people." Xu Shigong frowned and sighed heavily, "My Xu family finally managed to survive, and encountered a chaotic world of demons. This is fate."

Seeing that the old man was worried, Xu Ye said, "Sword Immortal is in charge of Qinghe, grandpa can rest assured."

"We are not familiar with Senior Sword Immortal after all, and we cannot rely on others for everything. Besides, the demons are stronger than you think." Xu Shigong said.

Humans fought with demons hundreds of thousands of years ago, but they were unable to decide the outcome.

Xu Shigong continued: "I have figured it out. If Qinghe County is really in trouble, you two will go to Yudu."

"No!" Xu Zhi stood up first, "I would rather fight the demons to death than go back to Yudu."

Xu Ye followed and said, "Why do we go back when they drive us out of the genealogy?"

"Xu Ziling..."

As soon as Xu Shigong mentioned this name, Xu Ye said, "Grandpa, this person is even more unreliable. It is better to believe in him than to believe in the Sword Immortal."

Xu Shigong looked at Xu Ye.

At this time, Xu Ye stood up, took out two Yuanling beads, and put them on the table.

Xu Shigong and Xu Zhi were both surprised and said, "Yuan Lingzhu?"

"Xu Ziling used Yuanling Pearl to buy my Guanghan Iron." Xu Ye said.

The two were shocked again.

Xu Shigong couldn't understand: "Your Guanghan Iron?"

"That's right, I dug up Guanghan Iron Mine in western Yuanqing Mountain." Xu Ye smiled, "I just got the guidance of Senior Sword Immortal."

“It took more than a month.”

“…”

The two were still a little unacceptable.

Looking back, this grandson did perform strangely for one month, and it turned out that he was going to mining!

"I won't say how expensive the Yuan Ling Pearl is. I don't want to say this. I'm just afraid you will worry." Xu Ye shook his sleeves and threw out a piece of Guanghan iron the size of a palm, "There is only such a little Guanghan iron left."

“…”

Xu Shigong and Xu Zhi were stunned.

The quality of Guanghan Iron is almost the same as what Xu Ziling brought that day.

Seeing the two of them confused, Xu Ye smiled and said, "I just want to say, whether it is Anyang or Yudu, that is not my home. The world is big, and people leave their hometowns and are humble."

When the two heard this, their hearts moved slightly.

Yes, people are humble when they leave their hometown.

At this time, Xu Laicai ran over and gasped, "Young Master, something happened to Lord Zhao, please come over."

Xu Shigong and Xu looked out the hall.

Hasn’t Zhao Shoujing already gone to Anyang to take up his post?

"I'll go and have a look."

Xu Ye followed Xu Laicai and left the Xu Mansion.

Xu Shigong and Xu Zhi followed outside the gate and saw Xu Ye leaving with a member of the patrol team.

"Father, something is wrong with this kid Xu Ye." Xu Zhi said.

Xu Shigong looked at the direction of the Zhao Mansion and said, "From the moment he came back, I knew that he was no longer the naughty child before."

Xu Zhi sighed with emotion.

Xu Shigong suddenly complained: "This brat, I don't know what else is good to do."

"I could swipe the Guanghan iron just now, so it must be the treasure for storage." Xu Zhi said.

Xu Shigong looked at the Yuan Lingzhu in his palm, nodded and said, "If you come back, strip him naked. I want to see how long this little brat's hair is!"

"Father, I'm doing this!"
