Section 1
Qiaocheng is located in a remote place, far away from the major transportation routes of north and south, so naturally there is no development. For many years, the countries that once occupied it have forgotten it in the corner, and they really cannot find a reason for construction and development.
In a remote place west of Qiaocheng, there is a small county where Wang Min, the ninth-rank county magistrate, has been an official for 220 years. This is an amazing and sad number. It is a great thing for a person to be an official for so long, even if he has never been promoted. Similarly, being an official for so long and still being an official for so long is a sad thing.
Wang Min is very popular in the local area, and it can even be said that everyone respects him. However, this place is too remote and almost never has anything worthy of merit. On the contrary, the harvest problems caused by occasional natural disasters are often reduced by Wang Min's achievements.
Although this place has never caused too much problem due to natural disasters, if it was impossible to pay enough food and grass taxes according to the amount stipulated by the court, the prefect would not pay any reason.
Moreover, Wang Min will not make excuses or reasons for herself. In fact, the amount of money that needs to be paid is very small, which is reasonable compared to the local situation. However, whenever a natural disaster occurs and the harvest is greatly reduced, Wang Min will always open a warehouse to help the victims.
Wang Min is a person who is worried about serving the people, a person with a straightforward figure, and the top scholar in Nanfeng Kingdom back then. The reason why he was sent here was entirely because Wang Min was fallen in love with a woman who should not fall in love with him, and Wang Min had no feelings for her.
Wang Min has not married yet, because of this woman. Wang Min is not a person who is afraid of death, but if he implicates dozens of distant relatives related to him because of his own reasons, it would definitely be a great sin for Wang Min.
Wang Min highly praised his promise.
From time to time, Wang Min would take out a thin booklet from a brocade box, and only said in the booklet, "If you can't love, then you hate it. At least you will never forget me in your life, because you will also hate me."
Wang Min really doesn't understand, how could that woman be like this? Two hundred years ago...
Before Wang Min was sent to this county, the woman handed Wang Min a booklet, "Although you and I cannot be together openly because of your identity, but if you have any intention of me, would you like to practice martial arts for me? I am willing to be by your side..."
Wang Min still remembers that it was dusk. Wang Min refused. In the days that followed, women would always ask someone to send a kiss, only asking Wang Min who he belonged to. Wang Min actually did not fall in love with anyone. Wang Min was educated since childhood to be born as a country and live for the people, and to focus on men and women.
But women don’t believe it, and women always think that if Wang Min had not belonged to her, how could she not have any friendship with such a beautiful and moving self?
Xin's name is very strange and is also his surname. Because Xin was an orphan since childhood, she was taken home by an elderly couple and adopted until she was six years old. The person who showed an old attitude, that is, the one who was about to die, was the dying couple who died when Xin was six years old.
Not long before the couple died, worried about Xin's future life, so they led Xin to kneel at the gate of the county government until they saw Wang Min, and until Wang Min agreed to raise Xin and grow up.
After that, Xin stayed with Wang Min. Wang Min liked Xin, and always took care of Xin like her child. However, this kind of love could not come from the heart. Xin's nature did not conform to Wang Min's personality, values and thoughts, and was too far from Wang Min.
But Xin is still a good child, a filial and obedient child. Xin will always do what Xin wants Xin to do seriously, even if Xin himself disagrees with his actions. Whenever Xin looks at Wang Min with a pair of sharp eyes that are not in line with his age, Wang Min always sighs that he has no idea of teaching. Wang Min believes that Xin's utilitarianism should not be so heavy...
"Enjoyed father, Xiaoque Village has a group of people with suspicious identities. People in the village say that those people are like bandits in trouble, and they also kidnapped a woman. Everyone has horses, and the equipment is particularly well-equipped." When the two were alone, they called each other father and son, and of course they did not dare to be like this in front of others. Wang Min was unwilling to bring disaster to Xin.
Wang Min's expression suddenly became serious. This big thing had never happened in this small county. Will such a place be attracted by well-equipped bandits? But the most important thing is how to rescue people, which is a major event that is at risk.
"I will immediately send someone to report to the prefect for help!" Wang Min said and wanted to get up, but Xin said in a deep voice, "Entertainment Father! The child has a request. The child has learned his adoptive father to teach martial arts since he was a child. Please leave this matter to the child and the county captain to deal with it. The child will be able to rescue the people kidnapped by the bandits safely and arrest all the bandits!"
Wang Min looked at Xin with a pleading look and felt hesitant. After all, this place is just a small county, there are not many heads, and they are not very good at using equipment, and they are not a good player who has ever seen big scenes. That group of bandits should be unusual people. If they make a bad fortune, they will definitely involve many lives.
Xin saw Wang Min's hesitation and knelt down and begged, "Encyclopedia! Please believe me once. This is the first time I begged you. I will definitely be able to do this properly." Wang Min couldn't help feeling soft when she heard this. Xin has been following him for eleven years and has never begged for anything or things to him. She has always been extremely sensible.
Now that Wang Min is entrusted to me like this, how can Wang Min not be embarrassed? Besides, Xin is indeed a very good person. His skilled martial arts shocked everyone in the county. He has always been deeply satisfied with the handling of government affairs and criminal matters. He is definitely a talent with both civil and military affairs.
Wang Min naturally understood Xin's thoughts. This happened suddenly in the small county. If it was handled well, perhaps Xin could leave this place and show dawn in his career. Wang Min really didn't like Xin's utilitarianism, and Wang Min hesitated to look at the child in front of him.
Finally, he sighed lightly and said, "Let me leave it to you. Because of the past, my father cannot help you. You are indeed a rare talent. If you make your lifelong grievances and do not shine here, it is indeed not a blessing for the court. I just hope that you can handle this matter properly. My father will definitely win you the opportunity to be transferred from this county. But Xin'er, you must remember that when you live, you must not just be for yourself, but for the country and the people!"
After Wang Min said this, the person suddenly became old. His originally young appearance aged at the speed visible to his eyes. His black hair gradually turned white, and he sat down on the chair with a tired look. Xin felt sad. In this situation, Xin knew that if a person showed an old look, he was not far from death.
"Entertainment Father, you..." Xin rose up anxiously, and held Wang Min down with his hands trembling. Tears in his eyes could not help but burst out. However, Wang Min also felt his own changes and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Oh, I finally hope this day. Xin'er, you must do this matter well so that you can feel at ease even if you are a father."
Xin lies on the ground, kowtowed three times, his forehead is full of blood, "I will definitely not meet the expectations of my adoptive father! My adoptive father, you must take good care of your body and let your child be filial to you!" Xin wiped the liquid mixed with blood and tears on his face, and stood up. When he reached the door, he couldn't help but look back at the old Wang Min, and then he turned around and left.
This decision was sacrificed too much for Wang Min. If Xin made a mistake this time, the life involved was not a trivial matter. Not to mention that Wang Min's career will have an impact, but for Wang Min, those lives that caused him because of his own will definitely not be able to bear.
‘Entertainment Father, I will never forget your kindness to my child, and I will never...’ Xin’s eyes shine with a cold light, looking at the direction of Xiaoque Village…
In Xiaoque Village, Feng Liu and his group rushed here to restrict the activities of villagers. Except for farming outside the village, no one is allowed to leave the aisle. Feng Liu and his group were dressed in ordinary villagers' costumes and dispatched several soldiers to patrol and inspect the surroundings every day.
I gradually got to know the surrounding villages. The villages in this area were very far apart, and the nearest one was more than 30 miles away, and the location was even remote. There were no outsiders passing by or entering here at all, and there was no valuable specialty products around me for mining, so it was even less likely that merchants would come.
Except for a mountain forest that is more than ten miles apart, there are more than ten people chopping wood every day, and two relatives who are out of the village return to the village, there is nothing unusual. On this day, another relative who has gone out to another village to visit relatives for half a month returns to the village, and is a strong and upright man.
The man looked so bright that he was obviously a martial artsman. He was surprised by the changes in the village and was full of vigilance towards Feng Liu and others. Later, after his relatives briefly said that he showed a relaxed look. Compared to knowing that the villagers were in good condition, he also reduced his hostility towards Feng Liu and others.
Feng Liu also felt that the man's martial arts was very good. He sent someone to observe the man's daily activities for several days, but he did not find anything wrong, and gradually felt relieved. What made Feng Liu feel most uneasy was that in the forest tens of miles away, there were always young and strong men chopping wood in the place every day.
From the people in the village, I learned that the mountain was called Lingfeng Mountain, and there were legends of immortals. Therefore, in nearby villages, they would spend more time to reach Lingfeng Mountain, hoping to get some fairy spirit and bless their family with a safe life.
The people in Xiaoque Village all seemed to be honest and honest. At the beginning, they were extremely wary of Feng Liu and others. Later, seeing that Feng Liu and others had no evil deeds, they gradually became willing to get close to each other. Even the children in the village knew about Lingfeng Mountain, and Feng Liu felt that it should be fine.
Moreover, when the sent people came to observe, the people there were indeed just like ordinary villagers. Feng Liu fell on the collapse and finally understood why, in many battles heard from his father, many people would choose to slaughter the villages when the army was stationed in the enemy country's villages.
Nowadays, the psychological burden is too great, and there are too many issues to consider and pay attention to every day. Especially at this moment, when the staff is seriously insufficient, Feng Liu has not had a good sleep for several days. Lan Fengchen's idea is much simpler. If it is really strange, Nanfeng Kingdom will definitely mobilize a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the enemy. Such a big move will definitely not be concealed by the soldiers patrolling and exploring around them every day.
The most leisurely one is Canren. On the second day of his arrival, he accidentally saw an old man in the village who had a piano at home. He was so happy that he spent some money to rent the piano with the old man. After that, he could not see any trace again. Feng Liu knew in his heart that Canrenren must have gone to where no one was playing the piano alone to relieve boredom.
Canren came just because he had to come, and he was not interested in these things at all. Moreover, there was wind and Lan Fengchen here. There was not much more than himself, and there was no need to pay attention to the affairs here.

I think of you quietly
Will you know in my heart?
