This time when Chen Chao went south from Qingshan Prefecture to Tiannan, he also suffered a lot of looks.
After leaving Qingshan Prefecture, you have to step into Bailu Prefecture. After that, you have to walk almost half of Bailu Prefecture before you can reach Tiannan. When you left Qingshan Prefecture, everything was normal. The monks you saw on the way saw this man with a face as pale as paper.
Young, just thought that this was a dying person who had a serious illness and might die at any time.
However, after entering Bailu Prefecture, Chen Chao was first looked at in the distance by several young scholars who looked like scholars in front of a wine shop. When Chen Chao turned around to look, he could clearly see the eyes of those scholars.
disdain.
Chen Chao was a little helpless, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Afterwards, Chen Chao left the wine shop there and continued south, and he was about to find a small county called Guihua County.
Osmanthus County is located in Bailu Prefecture. It has a small station and a relatively remote location, but it has a good reputation. Many scholars often gather here. .??.
The reason is that Guihua County is rich in osmanthus. Almost every household in the county will plant an osmanthus tree in their own yard. Outside the county, there was once a scholar who loved osmanthus very much. He spent all his property and bought hundreds of acres of osmanthus.
The fertile land was only used to plant osmanthus trees. After more than ten years, when all the osmanthus trees had grown, and when the osmanthus trees were in full bloom, the scenery here became spectacular.
Since then, although the scholar passed away due to illness, this place has attracted many scholars every year. However, the time of Chen Chao's visit is not that long. It is only at the end of spring that the osmanthus trees can see no green leaves.
Easy, let alone see the sweet-scented osmanthus blooming.
However, after all, Chen Chao did not come here to enjoy the osmanthus. He just wanted to go to Tiannan. The Osmanthus Flower County was on the route. He had not originally planned to stop here, but by chance, he received news from Shendu before he came.
, it is said that the guardian envoy of Guihua County seems to have done a good job. When he first took office, he actively organized people to hunt the monsters around him. Now, the monsters around Guihua County have been almost wiped out, and only one monster from the Sea of Bitterness Realm is left.
Located in the mountains, it made the guard named Li Chaohai miserable.
He had written a report before, asking for permission from the Shendu City to send people down to clean up the area. However, during this time, all the military attachés in the guarding envoy line were extremely busy, including Song Lian and Chen Wannian, who were both worried and wanted to rush there.
Mobei went to kill demons, and a group of military officers who couldn't forget their worries wandered around the world to exterminate the demon clan.
Everyone knows that the newly appointed envoy attaches great importance to the people. When he took office, a number of military attachés were purged. If they don't take this matter seriously, they are afraid that they will be purged next.
.
Although no one has been sent down from Shendu for the time being, Li Chaohai is still not idle. In addition to directing the government officials to post notices everywhere, he also personally leads people to patrol at night. He is afraid that the monster from the Bitter Sea Realm will enter the county town.
, feeding on the common people wantonly.
After this period of time, everyone can see that the guard has lost a lot of weight.
It was late at night again, and Li Chaohai led a group of government officials to patrol the city. Li Chaohai, who was holding a lantern in his hand, walked at the front. The government officials behind him looked at Tianshi and listened to the coughs of the adults in front of him from time to time.
He cautiously advised, "Sir, you've already made a round of inspections. Is it almost done? Your body can't endure it any longer. If you continue to endure it, not to mention that the monster has not been killed, I'm afraid even your own body will be tortured."
collapsed."
Li Chaohai did not turn around, but frowned and said, "I have already said that you can't say this kind of thing again. Do you really want to be fined?"
This was a previous agreement between Li Chaohai and his government officials. If anyone tries to persuade him again, he must think carefully about whether he still needs the salary for the next month. These government officials rely on their salary to support their families.
, so when Li Chaohai said this, it was natural that even though many government officials still wanted to persuade the envoy Li Zhen, they did not speak out in the end.
On the contrary, this yamen servant, although he was reprimanded when he opened his mouth, still gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, you have to take care of yourself. If you work like this day and night, sooner or later you will not be able to bear it anymore."
Li Chaohai frowned, and was just about to punish the government servant in front of him with a month's salary, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his mind became dizzy, he couldn't stand at all, and he almost threw the lantern in his hand.
Fortunately, a yamen servant behind him with quick eyesight and hands quickly came to support Li Chaohai and said with a worried face, "Sir, we really can't continue. If we continue like this, I'm afraid you will die earlier than the monster."
This was not a nice thing to say, but it was really true. Li Chaohai did not reprimand him, but sighed, "Help me get up. If the monster is not eliminated for a day, I will find it difficult to sleep peacefully. Even if I die in office,
You can't slack off even if you go up."
"You can't continue to protect the country and the people after you die. Commander Li doesn't understand this?"
A voice suddenly sounded in the dark night, and in the night ahead, a round thing rolled over for no reason, carrying some blood, and finally rolled to Li Chaohai's feet.
Li Chaohai glanced down and was suddenly shocked. The thing in front of him happened to be the head of a monster with a frightened expression, and he recognized it as the head of the Bitter Sea Realm monster outside Guihua County.
The monster from the Sea of Bitterness Realm has been practicing hard for many years, and it is about to set foot on the other side. It is extremely difficult to deal with. Li Chaohai himself is also from the Sea of Bitterness Realm. Earlier, he went into the mountains alone to look for traces of the monster. After a fierce battle, he couldn't get it.
Afterwards, I decided to write a report and report it.
How come this monster was already killed in front of him before anyone came up there?
Li Chaohai raised the lantern in his hand, looked at it from a distance, and said at the same time, "Who is your Excellency?"
As the figure in front of him got closer and closer, Li Chaohai could see clearly that he was a pale-faced and somewhat stooped... young man.
Wearing a black robe.
Li Chaohai frowned, unable to connect the young man in front of him with the person who killed the monster.
The other government officials also looked wary. The young man in front of them seemed very unusual.
The young man glanced at these government officials, but he didn't show any pretense. Instead, he stretched out his hand, opened a corner of his robe, and hung a badge around his waist.
Several large characters are engraved on it.
Guardian envoy.
Li Chaohai was startled, and then his eyes were full of special colors. There were countless guards up and down the beam, but only one person could not add any prefix in front.
A guardian envoy is a guardian envoy.
There is only one person in Daliang.
"I am lowering my official rank to Li Chaohai, the garrison envoy of Guihua County, Bailu Prefecture, to see the garrison envoy!"
After Li Chaohai reacted, he knelt down on one knee. The government officials behind him were startled at first, and then they did the same and knelt down directly.
In Daliang, among the garrison envoys, the person in front of me has already reached the sky.
Their eyes were wild, probably because they never expected that the young man in front of them was the famous Guardian Envoy.
Chen Chao waved his hand, helped Li Chaohai up, and said with a smile, "I rushed to Tiannan and passed by Guihua County. I didn't expect that before I entered the county, I saw such a monster swaying around. When I thought about it, it was probably what you mentioned in the book.
That's what I said, just clean it up and avoid trouble."
Li Chaohai said excitedly, "Your Majesty, the guardian envoy, eliminates demons for the people. The people of the entire Guihua County are grateful for your great kindness?"
Chen Chao frowned and said, "What nonsense? You, Li Chaohai, are the guardian of a place and are responsible for protecting the people of a place. I am the guardian of a country and am responsible for safeguarding the people of a country. What's the difference?"
Li Chaohai knew that what he said was not quite right, and was thinking about making amends, but Chen Chao did not give him a chance. Instead, he asked, "I heard that you were injured by the monster, and you continued to patrol the county without sleep. Why?"
?I really don’t intend to kill myself.” .??.??
After listening to Chen Chao's words, the government servants finally realized that the master's face has been getting worse and worse these days, and it's not just because of working hard day and night.
"Take a walk?"
Chen Chao saw that the guard envoy in front of him, who was actually younger than himself, was speechless, but he did not intend to embarrass him in front of others.
As he spoke, Chen Chao took a lantern from the hand of the yamen servant on the side, "I borrowed the lantern for use. If the yamen asks about it later, they will say that it was snatched away by some shameless person."
The yamen officer was speechless. How great an honor it was to have this lantern taken away by the guardian envoy?
Do others dare to care?
Is it because you think your life is too long?
You must know that the guard envoy in front of you has just returned from Mobei. The military report of the battle in Mobei has been sent back. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered it to be circulated to all states. It is written clearly that in this battle of Mobei, the talented girl from the academy
Xie Nandu showed unprecedented military talent, completely toying with the demon clan.
In the end, he defeated the demon clan and beheaded countless people. It was Daliang's biggest victory in these years.
It is said that the Northern General, their former immediate boss, the Guardian Commander Ning Ping, is considering making a move to Shendu to promote the woman to the position of Deputy General of the Northern Territory.
Defeat the second person from the northern frontier army in one battle? Although this thing seems incredible, it is not necessarily impossible. After all, there are so many famous generals in the history of Daliang, but few can achieve such a record.
Even the former general with outstanding merits, didn't he just maintain a balance of power in the northern border his whole life?
If this incident only surprised little people like them, another incident really made them feel proud.
Their guardian envoy also rushed to Mobei this time and killed several great demons alone. After that, he even confronted the Demon Emperor in Mobei.
It is said that this military exploit not only convinced the generals in the north, but when the victory report was later sent to the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held a court meeting to read out the matter. No one in the civil and military officials of the court could say anything.
Speak up.
Before this, the government and the public had probably criticized the Chen Dynasty's authority, but after today, no one in the government or government could say anything.
The young man who became the most powerful official in the world at a young age did not wait for criticism from others before he made great achievements on his own.
This will stop everyone from talking.
From now on, as long as the envoy does not seek to usurp the throne, it will be very difficult for him to
Someone said something more.
If this dynasty has the most meritorious service, it probably won’t be anyone else’s turn.
And now that the person with the most meritorious deeds is right in front of us, how can we not make people yearn for him?
…
…
Although Chen Chao didn't exactly know the turmoil in the hearts of those government officials, he probably had some understanding. He was walking down the long street holding a lantern, and Li Chaohai behind him deliberately walked half a step slower.
I dare not stand side by side with Chen Chao.
Not only do they not dare, but they also know that they are not worthy. In this world, there are not many people who are qualified to walk side by side with this Lord Guardian.
One hand is too many.
"Only by saving your life can you do more for the people. I really don't need to talk about this matter, right?"
Chen Chao lowered his head and glanced at the lantern in his hand, and said softly, "I have read your file. You are young, have good talent, practice hard enough, and mainly take the lives of the people, so I have already cooperated with Song Lian."
As I said, when you break through the sea of suffering and step onto the other side, I will make you the governor of a state."
Li Chaohai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Sir, I'm here..."
"There is no need to refuse. This matter is settled now, and I'm afraid it will be settled in a few years. But it may not always be settled, because I don't want to see what the other side of the world is like for me, the garrison envoy of Jiuzhou in Daliang. I hope there will be a different world in the future.
The written rule is that if you want to be the governor of a state, you must at least be a monk who forgets your worries. Is everything okay?"
Chen Chao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "For more than two hundred years in this dynasty, the line of guardian envoys has gone from prosperity at the beginning to decline, and now it can be said to be a revival in the hands of my officials. We have to go to higher places."
Let's go, now the guard can't find nine monks who forget about worries? It's embarrassing for me to even think about it. I'm not exaggerating. I killed the nine monks who forgot about worries with one hand."
Li Chaohai said, "I am ashamed of myself."
Chen Chao didn't pay attention to him, but suddenly remembered something, frowned and said, "What's going on with these scholars in Bailu Prefecture now? Why do I still have so much disdain? It was just a monk in the past, why are even scholars like this now?"
Already?"
Li Chaohai was startled, but he was not stupid to begin with, so he quickly said, "Maybe they regard you as someone else who imitates your clothes."
"But that's the case, why are they so disdainful?"
When Chen Chao thought about this, he still felt a little aggrieved. Damn it, after doing so many things, his own family still looked down on him.
Li Chaohai smiled slightly, "My lord, it seems that I have made a mistake. Now my deeds in Mobei have been spread throughout Bailu Prefecture. The scholars in this state should be extremely impressed by your lord. I even heard that there are already talented scholars."
We are working together to compose a poem called "The Song of Entrapment" and some of the singers in the orchestra have already begun to sing it."
"Now that they see the adults with disdain, they should regard the adults as those stooges who imitate the adults, rather than treating the adults themselves."
Chen Chao was startled, but later he realized that those people now looked at him no longer as unworthy and unworthy as they did before.
Li Chaohai smiled and said, "Sir, Daliang will soon make all the monks outside Fang bow their heads."
Chen Chao laughed heartily, but the laughter soon stopped. He said softly, "I hope that one day in the future, Daliang will not become the largest sect in the world, but that all the sects in the world combined will not be able to match Daliang.
