There were a few more people in the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion than usual. In addition to the Lingzhou Governor Xue Leihan, the new Hefu County Governor Zhao Zhongtian, and the Donghai County Governor Shangguan Tailei were all wearing official uniforms and sitting in the hall with a smile on their faces.

Looking tired from traveling for days, even Tang Xing'an, the chief general of the Gyeonggi army stationed in the East China Sea, rushed over and sat silently aside wearing armor.

Several people had a cup of hot tea at hand, with a few fresh tea leaves floating on top of the tea, emitting a faint fragrance.

As the host, Xue Leihan was chatting with everyone, with curiosity in his heart.

It stands to reason that Chen Yue is now General Annan, and these two prefects obviously want to obey Chen Yue's orders, but they directly come to visit them without even going to the territory, which seems a little unusual and a little too eager.

"Nephew, you have been stationed in Lingzhou for the past few months, assisting General Chen in defeating the Tengjia soldiers. You have made great contributions to the country. The Xue family is really lucky to have you!" Zhao Zhongtian said with a smile from the side.

The Xue family and the Zhao family are family friends. Although Zhao Zhongtian and Xue Leihan are on the same level now, Zhao Zhongtian and Xue Leihan's father are the same generation. It is not inappropriate to call them nephews, but they seem to be very close.

"Uncle, thank you!" Xue Leihan waved his hand quickly: "As a minister, you should serve the country and fulfill your duties! It was the soldiers of Liangzhou who defeated the Tengjia soldiers with their lives, how can I be greedy for credit!"

Zhao Zhongtian sighed for a while and said: "There are not many successful young people in the Zhao family. I would be relieved if there were one or two talents like my nephew. It's a pity."

This sentence comes from the bottom of my heart. The younger generation of the Zhao family really has nothing to offer. Zhao Zhongtian admires Xue Leihan's demeanor of being neither humble nor arrogant. When he was in Tianlang Pass, Xue Leihan's calmness in the face of danger left a lot of impression on Zhao Zhongtian.

Deep impression.

Xue Leihan looked very humble: "Uncle, you really flatter Leihan. Several children of the Zhao family are also among the best. My nephew has not been an official for a long time. If there is anything that cannot be handled in Lingzhou, he will have to do it."

Please give me some advice, uncle."

"Haha, definitely!" Zhao Zhongtian smiled happily, and Xue Leihan's words made people feel very happy.

Shangguan Tai Lei on the side looked a little embarrassed when he saw the two people chatting happily. He knew that the two families were family friends, he was new to the officialdom, and he had no interaction with Xue Leihan and the Xue family, so he seemed a little out of touch.

Talk.

Tang Xing'an, on the other hand, didn't care. He wore his armor and sat aside silently. He only glanced at the extraordinary Xue Leihan from time to time and was secretly surprised. Such young heroes were rare even in the capital.

Xue Leihan was so astute that he saw Shangguan Tailei's predicament at a glance. He changed the subject and looked at him and said: "Sir Shangguan, you were ordered to take up your post at the critical moment. You are truly a role model for the emperor's relatives! This junior is very grateful.

admiration!"

Seeing that the topic suddenly shifted to him, Shangguan Tailei quickly said politely: "No, no, as Governor Xue said, everyone is just serving the country!"

Originally placed in the capital, although Shangguan Tailei had no official position, due to his status as a queen mother sister and uncle, he was extremely arrogant in his treatment of others, and ordinary people would not even look at him.

Before going out this time, Shangguan Taiqing specifically told his younger brother to put away his bad temper and win as many allies as possible. Naturally, the Xue family and Chenyue were the top targets of the Shangguan family, so there was no hint of anything between his words.

Neglect.

Several people chatted about the war on the front line and the problems encountered by the three counties. Time passed slowly.

From time to time, the eyes of Zhao Zhongtian and Shangguan Tailei would look around, as if they were looking for something. Of course, their purpose here was not Xue Leihan, but Chen Yue, but unfortunately Chen Yue did not show up.

Xue Leihan naturally knew what the purpose of their visit was, but she just smiled without speaking and drank tea by herself.

After a long time, just when everyone couldn't wait, a burst of footsteps sounded from outside the house, and two handsome figures strode into the house.

Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng, who were out on patrol in the city, finally came back.

Chen Yue smiled and cupped his hands towards several people, with a hint of guilt on his face: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. I just had some military affairs, I'm really sorry!"

Everyone stood up quickly, and it goes without saying that the person who spoke first must be Annan General Chen Yue.

Zhao Zhongtian had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. When he was at the border, he discovered that Chen Yue was a talented person, but he didn't expect that a mere border military captain would climb to a high position in a short period of time, even higher than himself.

First class.

Chenyue is the general of Liangzhou, and Zhao Zhongtian is now the governor of Hefu County. Although the two have the same official rank, Chenyue still holds the title of General Annan and is his immediate boss during the war.

Although Zhao Zhongtian had mixed feelings in his heart, he still returned the favor with a smile on his face: "General Chen, military situation is the most important thing, we are not in a hurry."

Shangguan Tailei and Tang Xingan were shocked when they saw Chenyue for the first time. They had heard for a long time that General Liangzhou was very young, but they didn't expect to see the real person being so young. It was a bit unbelievable that he was defeated on the battlefield.

He is a member of King Fu, but the maturity revealed between Chen Yue's brows makes people unconsciously regard him as a peer.

"Mr. Zhao, you're welcome, everyone, please sit down!" Chen Yue waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and he sat directly on the main seat without any hesitation.

Chen Yue was the supreme commander in the house, so it was natural for him to sit in the main seat. Chu Yucheng pulled up a chair and sat down next to Xue Leihan. He looked curiously at these two county guards with appalling backgrounds, wanting to take a look.

What kind of medicine are they selling in their gourds?

"Several adults have come all the way to Lingzhou without even visiting the county. What do you want from me?" Chen Yue asked his question bluntly.

Zhao Zhonghai and Chen Yue had met several times, and they even said they had fought side by side. He said with a smile: "General Chen is now in charge of the war in the southern border. When we first arrived in the southern border, we naturally had to come and pay a visit first."

In fact, given the strength behind the Zhao family and the Shangguan family, they did not really regard Chen Yue as their boss. The purpose of the two families was naturally to get acquainted with each other and see if there was any chance of making good friends with Chen Yue.

Shangguan Tailei also said sincerely: "We are not familiar with the affairs of the two counties. How to help each other to suppress the rebellion requires the unified command of General Chen."

Tang Xing'an also bowed his hand: "General Chen, just give the order!"

Shangguan Tailei gritted his teeth secretly as soon as he finished speaking. It was not easy for him, who always had his eyes high above his head, to say such respectful words. If his brother hadn't repeatedly warned him, Shangguan Tailei would have just been polite and it would have been over.

Chen Yue glanced at Chu Yucheng on the side without leaving any trace. The polite words between the two county guards made them both a little surprised.

"Haha, since everyone said so, I won't be polite." Chen Yue smiled slightly. Since they were sent to the door to be dispatched, it would be really unreasonable not to find something for them to do: "There are really two things that need everyone to do right now.

Do."
