"Boom" lightning flashed, and the heavy rain crackled down, scattering the last crowd still on the street, but it could not wake up the two people who were sleeping peacefully. The girl shrank down, found a warm embrace, and stabilized herself again.

In the fog, there was a faint flash of lightning, as if it was raining.

Ye Qing came to a place in a daze, and when he looked back, he saw Zhou Ling holding a pile of paper cuts.

"Why did Lingling come in?"

She just smiled and followed confusedly.

Ye Qing took her hand and walked around, it was another long dream.

This small town has a small population, but it seems to be under its own jurisdiction. It has a friendly atmosphere. There is a dense forest outside, and a big river flows nearby. Looking from the city, two generals are training soldiers in the military camp, and several scholars are there. The county office is busy.

Unknowingly, he arrived in his own courtyard and felt a bit familiar. Ye Qing was startled for a moment and then recalled - isn't this the Plum Courtyard?

Under the small window, several maids were doing housework and chatting: "Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan have gone to offer incense, haven't they come back yet?"

"I just saw it..."

Then, in a trance, the heavy rain came through the curtains, blowing the window paper until it bulged and dented.

After Cao Gong defeated Shao and attacked the ancestor from the south, the ancestor sent Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and Liu Biao heard about it, and Biao came from the suburbs to welcome him. He treated him with courtesy, strengthened his troops, sent troops to garrison in Xinye, and the heroes of Jingzhou returned to the ancestor. There are more and more people, which shows doubts in his heart, and he is restrained by darkness.

This article passed through his mind. Ye Qing sat down steadily and stared at an official in front of him with a faint emotion: "I always stay in the saddle, and the flesh on my thighs has disappeared. I am approaching old age, but I have not accomplished any achievements, so I am sad."

"Remembering the past, I did not build it because of the county captain of Anxi County. At this time, if I had not whipped the postal governor of Zhongshan State, abandoned my official position and ran away, how could I have wasted my years?"

It was a joke that Zhang Fei whipped the postal governor of Zhongshan. In fact, Liu Bei was unruly at that time and personally whipped the postal governor of Zhongshan, forcing him to run away.

The civil servant said nothing to his master's words of self-blame, but he agreed in his heart.

Liu Bei was credited with quelling the uprising and was appointed as the County Lieutenant of Guo'anxi County in Zhongshan, Jizhou. This was the time for him to station troops and establish an army. However, due to his impatience, he lost this opportunity. In the future, he would hardly have the time to station troops and establish an army with peace of mind. Although he was transferred to Qingzhou Pingyuan, he was appointed as a high official. He was a county lieutenant in Tang County and was soon promoted to magistrate of Gaotang County, but he had no foundation.

Gaotang County was conquered by the Yellow Turbans. Liu Bei defected to Zhonglang General Gongsun Zan, or was the magistrate of Pingyuan County in Qingzhou Pingyuan Kingdom. He was later promoted to Pingyuan Prime Minister, but he was severely hampered by others.

It can be said that they have not established a system that is completely their own, so they wander around and fail to seize opportunities many times, especially in Xuzhou.

If the lord "adapted" Anxi when he was a county captain in Anxi County, he would have a successful career in the future, and he would be able to firmly grasp Xuzhou and compete with Cao Cao.

Instead of now, I have to risk Liu Biao's suspicion, train soldiers, recruit heroes, and expand my reputation - this can be done in Anxi County.

Ye Qing's eyes flashed: "There are some things that we must avoid suspicion, and there are some things that we must do even at the risk of being harmed by swords and axes. This is the establishment."

"Just go ahead and do it. I'll take care of anything." Ye Qing looked at the dark rainy night outside and said calmly.

In a trance, I was on a boat, and I saw the river was dark and curling like smoke. Inexplicable sadness welled up in my heart. It was really a mixture of emotions.

Ye Qing's heart moved, and he wanted to go in, but the whole dream shook and the scene was shattered. At that moment, he felt a little clearer in his heart, took Zhou Ling's hand, and walked away.

Suddenly, a dark mist rose again, and someone called out: "Fellow Taoist, please stay."

"These words sound familiar, why do they sound so ominous?" Ye Qing frowned, not only shrinking the darkness, but also having an intuition in his heart.

He took Zhou Ling's hand and walked through the fog barrier without stopping. He woke up instantly. At this time, he couldn't sleep, so he lay quietly, recalling his dream.

This dream is not unfamiliar, but something about it makes me very confused. I was still in a trance in the dream before, but this time there are some lucid prophets. Why is this?

It was raining outside the window, and there was silence in the tent. Among the aroma, the girl's warm breath was blowing on the side of the neck, and the green conch rain device was slightly bright, but short. It was not a picture of rain, but probably because he hated Yun for being idle and boring, and wanted to chat with him.

Ye Qing ignored the message, touched the cloth bag on the side of the bed, and took out the sealing soil.

The breath of the earth came from the cool soil, and under the guidance of the Qi machine, I felt that the inside was seeping into me, and there were some changes inside. I held it in my hand and laughed silently.

It seems that it is indeed feasible

Another bolt of lightning pierced the night sky outside the window.

"Master?" Zhou Ling opened her eyes and looked at him, muttering vaguely: "I dreamed of you again."

"It's okay." Ye Qing said, "Go to sleep and go home tomorrow."

"Okay" she calmed down and fell asleep gradually.

Sleeping peacefully here, a team of magicians searched the city late at night, but it started to rain suddenly, and they did not find much results. Although this seal of soil is not a treasure, it is a symbol of the court's gift and is related to the court's face. If there is a problem, the governor will have a headache.

But they really couldn't find anything, so they lost two pieces, not counting the men who ran away. The most hateful thing was the first batch of men who ran out. Knowing that they couldn't escape, Yu Jian threw Feng Tu into the Jinshui River.

A soldier with good water skills and even a magician went down to search for it, but they couldn't find it.

In the end, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and report to the Governor.

In the early morning of the next day, it was raining heavily. There were a large number of armored soldiers guarding the city walls and the Han Yulan Bridge on the Jinshui River. The stone lions guarding the bridge were ferocious.

At this time, a palace lantern was hung on the gate, and the people standing guard in the shadows under the lamp were all in the uniforms of the governor's personal soldiers. The main officials of the state capital were all standing in the ancestral temple, and the entire row of candles in the temple was bright.

Facing the one-foot-long green-black altar, the governor's eyes were bloodshot. He stared at the two missing corners of the seal for a long time and sighed: "That's all, I was negligent in this matter, and the responsibility lies with me, but these people will never

If you are willing to take risks and plan for useless things, there must be a mystery in it."

"Immediately search all the state records and book records for me. I will investigate thoroughly within three days."

"Follow your orders"

The group of officials left, and only a few important officials were left. Fan Shan suppressed his smile, bowed and said, "I have one more thing to report. The Northern Wei army has moved south to the entrance of Zhunhe River."

The governor frowned, pressed his hand softly, and asked, "How is the situation in the Mul tribe?"

The Mur tribe is a large tribe secretly pro-imperial.

"It's not very good. The previous generation Murhan died three years ago, and he was succeeded by his second son. This man is actually cowardly, and he can barely maintain the situation by relying on his relationship with the imperial court."

"But this man is a lustful man. He has a special magician to extract aphrodisiacs, and he is a concubine day and night. He has taken advantage of all the pretty women in his department, and it is said that he even has his own sisters."

"The ethics of the tribe are not as good as ours, but this still makes people dissatisfied. This man is also vicious inside. He killed several people who persuaded him, and his people's hearts have been dispersed."

The governor couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring and felt chills. Knowing that something was wrong, he sighed and asked, "What happened next?"

"This is about the Northern Wei Dynasty. As soon as the army returned, the eldest son of the Mur tribe responded, killed this man overnight and seized power. Now the Mur tribe has changed hands, and Dash became the Khan of Mur.

We only got here, and I don’t know what happened next.”

"The Mur tribe is no longer reliable." The governor's eyes flashed, and he lowered his sharpness: "I know Dash well. Within the tribe, he is loyal to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Among the thousands of households he leads, anyone who is loyal to the imperial court will be killed. This time he ascended the throne.

If you get the sweat position, it won’t take much time to clean up all the dissidents.”

"The Mu'er tribe was originally our barrier to Yingzhou, but now it is our formidable enemy in Yingzhou. The main force of the Northern Wei Dynasty is fighting against the imperial court. This Mu'er tribe may be the vanguard of our invasion in Yingzhou."

Everyone agreed. Fan Shan glanced at the governor and sighed in his heart: "He is a high-ranking official in the border area. With just a little information, he can have such clear and clear insights. This is an insight..."

Thinking about it, he said: "Yes, so I have to prepare in advance."

The governor regained his composure in an instant and smiled: "Soldiers will stop us, water will flood us, and we in Yingzhou are not weaklings. By the way, Ye Qing donated 1,800 war horses and 2,000 cattle, and Yu Fan donated seven

I will report the hundred war horses to the emperor through Taoism. How do you want to deal with them?"

"Eighteen hundred war horses and two thousand oxen. The price alone is 300,000 silver. The state has to deal with the war and the finances are very tight. Let's give 100,000 taels. The rest can be compensated with official titles. This is what it is.

Is it a great achievement?”

"Ye Qingjin came to the Seventh Rank Hanlin Academy for overhaul, and Yu Fan was appointed as the county magistrate of Ban'an County. What do you think?" The governor, who had been half-closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and said.

"Yu Fan, I have no objection to your resignation."

"But I'm afraid Ye Qing is not suitable." Fan Shan raised his thick black eyebrows and said, "I am not speaking for him because of this relationship. This is the fact."

"He is the second-ranked prince, a heavenly being. According to the imperial system, there is no obstacle to promotion. The inspection to become a seventh-rank Hanlin scholar only takes place in three to five years. It is not a real job. It really cannot be considered as compensation. It is not as good as Yu Fan's original promotion to the ninth rank.

, it’s so fast to jump to the eighth level in one go.”

"Compared to Yu Fan, Ye Qing has made more achievements, and we have checked the amount he handed over. He is truly fair-minded and we cannot let him down."

"The key is that he will not join the court system. If he is willing to join the system, I will immediately appoint him as the county magistrate. He can even make special promotions as colleagues, but now there is no need to think about actual promotion - what are your regulations?"

"Let's promote him to the seventh rank of Hanlin Academy for inspection, and then promote him to the title of Nanlianzi"

"Nan Lianzi?" Although it is just a title that does not have a fiefdom and cannot be hereditary, it is still a bit too generous. The governor hesitated a little, then stood up with a smile and said: "That's right, what he achieved was military merit and field merit. This

Nan Lianzi is barely worthy of it, but with a big battle in front of him, he will break the rule and buy his bones for a thousand pieces of gold."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "Just follow these regulations and write the memorial."

Fan Shan was well aware of court procedures and knew that the court would not reject the governor's report, so the matter was settled. He remembered that Ye Qing didn't even meet the governor yesterday, so he came to see him first, and said: "I guess this Ye

If you are young, you will be grateful and act more impartially."

The governor laughed: "What I'm saying is, go ahead and we'll discuss other matters tomorrow."

Neither of them mentioned the Governor's Mansion. Governor Zhang Cunshi was in the fourth rank, so he didn't know the rules of the officialdom. He didn't need to directly beat them. As long as he saw the praise from the court, he knew it and didn't dare to disobey it.
