I don’t want to delay either!”

The county officials immediately dispersed, and for a while, only three confidants were left in the hall.

"Uncle, please work harder. Go and check the county's money and food." Gongsun Xun became much kinder to his own people, and finally sat down... There was actually a Taifu chair behind him. "Yi.

Sir, please go and check the county's arsenal and soldiers as soon as possible. These two matters are extremely important, so don't delay."

Han Dang and Wang Xiu naturally resigned.

"Uncle Zi," after everyone had left, Gongsun Xun looked at Lou Gui and spoke alone. "I see that your expression is unswerving, but you feel dissatisfied that I didn't give you a position?"

"How could it be?" Lou Gui quickly spread his hands and said, "I, Uncle Lou, don't care about the position of a county official. Besides, as I expected, Shaojun will definitely find a mistake to catch the thief when he investigates the case later.

I was also exempted, and then I was asked to take over, so that I could cooperate with Yi Gong in the matter of 'group prevention and group governance'."

Gongsun Xun nodded slightly: "That's right...then why do you still look uncertain?"

"I'm just still ashamed," Lou Gui sighed for a moment. "I have prided myself on my intelligence since I was a child, even to the point of acting absurdly. But since I followed Shaojun back to the north, I have discovered that I am short of wits... Shaojun the day before yesterday

As I said in Wen County, I am grateful to you for taking me as your confidant, but at the same time I feel that I am really incompetent and ridiculous!"

"Uncle Zi!" Gongsun Xun also sighed for a moment. "My mother started to establish an Anli account in Lingzhi when she was still in her infancy. In three years, she accumulated enough funds to join the business outside the Great Wall. It has been twenty years now.

, After twenty years of business, how can you and I be able to match you with just a quick thought? You feel that you are incompetent and frustrated, so what do I do?"

Lou Gui couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

"It's as good as I expected. I'm afraid I'll have to circle around Liaodong for the next ten years..." Gongsun Xun sat on the Taifu chair and sighed more and more. "I have been the magistrate of Xiangping County for three years, and my performance has been outstanding."

Go ahead, I will be twenty-six or seven by then, and with my previous military exploits, I may be able to be promoted to a border commander, and then in two years I will be promoted to a governor of Lelang or something like that. Finally, we will see the situation.

Let me hurry up and return to Liaodong as the governor! I probably have never told you that my mother and I, Master Lu, have been exchanging letters for more than ten years, and she can really influence my relocation."

Lou Gui lowered his head and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said bluntly: "Looking at the words and deeds of the young master, don't you think you don't want to be trapped here? As the sun is setting in front of your eyes, do you want to enter the fortress and compete with the heroes of the world?"

Gongsun Xun was silent... He didn't acquiesce, but he really didn't know how to reply.

After all, my mother is also a loving mother, and she does everything for her own good...According to the so-called 'historical trend', relying on the five hundred miles of isolation from Lulong fortress to Yangle City, then Gongsun Du is a separatist regime of fifty

Did he die after four lifetimes? No matter how good he is, he is recognized by Qiao Xuan as a 'stronger' man than Cao Mengde. Could it be that he really can't hold on to this inheritance?

Besides, this place can be retreated, defended, or attacked. It is not that there is no hope of fighting out... It's just that the five hundred miles of isolation in western Liaoning and the Bohai Sea, which I have been unconscious for countless days, are in front of me. This place can be advanced or attacked.

'It's just a little difficult.

And it is precisely because of this that despite understanding, Gongsun Xun finally felt a little bit unwilling as Lou Gui guessed. In other words, like all the unscrupulous people in the world, he was unwilling to be arranged like this by his master.

And there is no freedom at all!

In fact, although Gongsun Xun was ambitious before, he was also a little confused. But after he became aware of his mother's arrangement that day, he suddenly had an idea - not to mention Cao Mengde, your son and I, Gongsun Xun, are better than

Is Gongsun Zan, who did not mention Xiaolian and Lianlian, better? How could he not intercept this person's luck and replace him, then discuss Hebei with Yuan Benchu, and then discuss the world with Cao Mengde?!

Perhaps Aunt Gongsun herself didn't know that it was her proper arrangement that gave her son's ambition for the first time an aggressive path that, although it was only fleeting and not necessarily reasonable, was very substantial.

You can replace Gongsun Du, but you can't replace Gongsun Zan? Don't everyone have the compound surname Gongsun?

Of course, after all, his mother is compassionate, and it would be difficult for Gongsun Xun to say no to his mother who raised him as a widow! Therefore, in the face of Lou Gui's inquiry, he could only

'Silent'.

"I understand." Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly coming from outside the hall, Lou Zibo continued to grit his teeth. "I, Lou Gui, have been entrusted by Shaojun's confidant, and I always want to think of an upright and just way for Shaojun that does not harm mother and son.

Love is the way to break the situation.”

"If there really is such a way," Gongsun Xun, who also heard the footsteps, couldn't help but sigh. "That would be the best! The time is long, and Zibo must take the long term."

The feeling of helplessness in his words was still there, which made Lou Gui even more determined.

At this moment, two people suddenly turned around outside the hall. The leader was a county official who was leading the way. Not to mention, the person behind him made Gongsun Xun put aside his unnecessary thoughts for a moment, and then he said with great joy:

"Wei Yue, how come you are here so fast? Are Madam and Ziheng arriving soon?"

The visitor turned out to be Wei Yue, who was escorting Yang Qiu’s family straight to Quanzhou (today’s Tianjin) that day!

When Wei Yue heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and replied: "I have met Mr. Young Madam. They have arrived in western Liaoning. They just want to visit various places and stop for a while. Then Mrs. Bian also arrived...because I arrived

It’s the earliest, so in compliance with my old mistress’ wishes, I’ll hurry up to report that I’m safe and deliver the letter.”

Gongsun Xun had a look of surprise on his face, and he also laughed out of embarrassment: "Yes, at most it's that matter. It's unlikely that a large group of people will arrive so soon."

However, just when the newly appointed Xiang Pingling received the family letter, he suddenly reacted: "You call my mother your mistress and you call me your young master. Could it be that you also want to be my retainer? You were there because of

I don’t want to be a member of a wealthy family and become my enemy…why are you so straightforward today?”

"Report to Young Master!" Wei Yue couldn't help but blush slightly. "My old mistress granted me a marriage. I burst into tears with gratitude, so I bowed down immediately..."

"Whose children?" Lou Gui also asked curiously. "What makes you so straightforward?"

"It's..." Wei Yue felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Who is it?" Gongsun Xun asked while opening the letter.

"It's the person Shaojun asked me to escort that day, Yang Qiu's widow, Mrs. Cheng." Wei Yue gritted his teeth and replied.

Gongsun Xun and Lou Zibo looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

"With your temperament, could it be that you were bullied on the road and then raped someone directly?!" Gongsun Xun suddenly slapped the case. "You are making cooked rice out of raw rice, and then you are repaying the Yang family with a favor?!

"

"Please rest assured, Shaojun, it's not that I was oppressed or forced to repay any favors." Wei Yue quickly knelt down and explained. "In fact, after arriving in Quanzhou, although the Yang clan was very grateful to Shaojun, they

I disliked Mrs. Cheng so much that I wouldn't even let her in. Seeing how pitiful she was, I took her to Liaoxi. When the old mistress saw us, she directly asked me if I wanted to marry someone else, and also asked about my wife.

Are you willing to marry me... I live in a poor state in a border county, why wouldn't I want to marry such a beautiful woman? It's rare that my wife doesn't dislike me..."

Gongsun Xun understood it halfway through, and didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, so he just lowered his head and read the letter.

However, this letter is extremely simple, with only a few words: "Gongsun Wenqi, you scared your mother again and caused a lot of trouble to your mother. After I deal with it in western Liaoning, we will meet to settle the accounts."

!”

The letter was not clear and it read very strangely, as if it was written by his wife. After reading it, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment. The arrangements in Liaodong were so clear that Bian Yu frightened her and she didn't dare to

Guaranteed to appease Zhao Yun...it's also frustrating.

However, this kind of thing was something that neither Wei Yue nor Lou Gui could discuss.

But with no choice, Gongsun Xun could only stand up and shouted at the county official who was leading the way at the door: "What are you doing standing there? Please hurry up and remind Tian Shao, why haven't the files and criminals arrived yet?"

!”
