"It's going to be noisy outside for a while." Liu Qing suddenly relaxed his body, and his dark and thin face showed a look of vicissitudes of life, "Some people in the court said that Chenzhou is a place of alienation, and they wish they could just throw it away."

Lu Qiang smiled, the scar on his face trembling, "A land of alienation? How many people in Chenzhou are all alienated people? Isn't it just that they are reluctant to part with the little money and food allocated every year.

I heard that your majesty ordered the post station to deliver fruits from the south to Chang'an on a fast horse for the sake of your pampering concubine.

How many horses will be scrapped after one trip? We are reluctant to use them, but Chang'an uses them for nothing."

Liu Qing sneered and said: "I wrote a memorial a while ago, begging the government to allocate more money and food."

"Your Majesty, it's useless." Lu Qiang shook his head.

"I said in my memorial that if the money and food remain the same, I will become an official."

Lu Qiang's heart trembled, "Your Majesty, this kind of coercion is a taboo."

Liu Qing's eyes were piercing, and he clapped his hands at the table, "I don't want to do anything anymore, so what else are you taboo about? At worst, I can go home and farm!"

Lu Qiang smiled and said: "Calm down your Majesty. Besides, are you really able to let go of Chenzhou?"

Liu Qing's hand that slapped the table stopped in mid-air, and he cursed for a while: "Why can't you let go?"

Lu Qiang just laughed.

"Your Majesty."

A clerk came in.

Liu Qing said dissatisfiedly: "There must be a standard for showing off one's power. If a young man is too proud, what should he do if he goes back if he is too embarrassed? Do we ask you to wait to become an official in Taiping County?"

Lu Qiang saw that the official looked wrong, raised his hand and said: "Stop, please listen to what he has to say."

The clerk held up his hand and said, "Someone teased the new county magistrate earlier, saying that he wanted to give him a slap, so the magistrate asked his entourage to give him a slap."

"What happened next?" Liu Qing raised his glass and raised his lips.

"I was knocked unconscious with one slap."

Liu Qing and Lu Qiang looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xuan, the newly arrived magistrate of Taiping County, would like to see you."

Liu Qing sat up straight and said, "Let him come in."

Yang Xuan came in and saw a thin, dark official sitting in front of him and an official with a scar on his face sitting on the side. He saluted and said, "I have met the envoy."

Liu Qing hummed and pointed at Lu Qiang, "Don't take advantage of Lu Qiang."

"I've seen Biejia." Yang Xuan glanced at Lu Qiang. Officials of the Tang Dynasty had to pass a test, and those who were unsightly would not be able to pass. This Biejia looked quite elegant from a distance, but when he saw the sword when he was close,

The scar suddenly became ferocious.

Lu Qiang nodded, "Chenzhou is very big, and Taiping County is not small either. However, Taiping County is at the forefront of Chenzhou. Those tribes are fierce and cunning, are you prepared?"

Yang Xuan nodded, "Yes."

On the way here, they inquired a lot about Taiping County, so they were naturally mentally prepared.

Lu Qiang smiled approvingly.

Liu Qing patted the table, and when Yang Xuan looked over, he said, "I don't have anything good for you here, come here."

Someone came in from outside. Liu Qing pointed to Yang Xuan and said, "Give Yang Ming Mansion one thousand kilograms of dried meat."

"yes."

Liu Qing stood up and said, "I'm busy, so it's time for you to get busy too. This thousand kilograms of dried meat is my gift to you when you take office."

Yang Xuan went out and Lu Qiang followed.

"I don't want to scare you." Lu Qiang said softly: "But there are some things you need to know. Those tribes are not simple. Taiping County has been conquered by them seven times."

Yang Xuan asked: "How long was the last time?"

Lu Qiang touched the scar on his face and said, "Five years ago."

…

After leaving Lin'an County, where Zhouxie is located, the group was somewhat silent after learning about the situation. Only Wang Laoer was extremely happy and rode his horse around several large carts filled with dried meat.

"Mr. Lang, there is someone."

The old thief pointed to the front left, where the two riders had just reined in their horses. He stretched out his hand to build a tent over his eyebrows to observe this side.

Yang Xuan looked back at everyone.

Cao Ying looked like a gentleman, probably thinking about how to kill the two cavalry.

The old thief looked excited.

Yi Niang was wearing a bonnet and was slapping Wang Lao Er hard for trying to get the dried meat.

The lord's subordinates have a cloud of counselors and a rain of fierce generals, but Yang Xuan only has a few kittens here, and he can't even think of any generals.

"I'll go take a look."

Yang Xuan rode away.

"Old thief, if you don't come at this time, why are you waiting?" Cao Ying said coldly.

The old thief smiled bitterly, "My lord is faster than me."

Cao Ying looked at Yi Niang and said, "That's it."

He galloped to follow, but Yang Xuan waved his hand.

"go back!"

Cao Ying reined up her horse and saw Yang Xuan riding away in official uniform.

The two riders were startled at first, but when they saw Yang Xuan riding alone, they both laughed.

After getting closer, Yang Xuan waved and said arrogantly: "But the people nearby, come here and help me pull the cart."

The two riders looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

"Is this county magistrate just about to be weaned?"

"Capture him."

Two cavalrymen rushed over on horseback.

Choking!

The long sword is unsheathed.

Yang Xuan was stunned at first, then turned around.

"Still want to run?" Yiqi smiled ferociously.

Yang Xuan on horseback suddenly turned around.

I don’t know when I got a bow and arrow in my hand.

The bowstring sounded, and the man fell off his horse.

When one horse fell off his horse, his companions reined in their horses in panic.

Yang Xuan had already turned around and rushed over.

The bow string is drawn in the hand.

call out!

Yang Xuan reined in his horse, turned around and waved.

"Second dick!"

The two thieves were dragged over.

One man was hit by an arrow in the chest and lost his breath.

The other man was hit by an arrow on his war horse and was captured alive.

"Ask a question!"

Yang Xuan slapped Wang Laoer who came over to ask for praise.

Cao Ying raised her eyes and asked the old thief, "Are you coming, or am I coming?"

"You are too cruel. I'm worried that someone will be killed by you before I even ask." The old thief sighed, "I haven't done anything in years."

He walked up to the prisoner, reached out and stroked the prisoner's head, and said affectionately: "What a nice skull."

Thinking of the old thief's profession, even Yang Xuan's scalp went numb.

The prisoner opened his mouth unyieldingly at the old thief, "ha...tui"

The old thief avoided it and took out a short knife.

"How many bones does a human have? Where should we avoid them? If I recognize the second one, no one in this world would dare to recognize the first one." He carefully squeezed the captive's calf and praised: "The calf is strong, so the knife will be more secure.

"

The prisoner just sneered.
