When they heard that Bai Meng was coming to Wangxin Town, Magistrate Niu and the county magistrate named Meng breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy stone had been lifted off their bodies.

"This reaction of the county magistrate is really interesting. Is this a relief?" Song Qiyun held the tea bowl and looked at Magistrate Niu with a smile, "Why do you say that the lord has 8,000 elite soldiers in his hands? Even if someone attacks the city, it is enough to deal with it. , are you afraid that you can’t protect the safety of hundreds of us?”

"That's not what you said. The lives of Vice General Song, Duke Guo and the General are very precious. We are worried that if something happens..."

"Stop it!" Song Qiyun waved his hand, "There are not so many accidents. Even if there are, the county magistrate will bear the corresponding responsibility."

Magistrate Niu only knew that Song Qiyun was Shen Haolin's lieutenant, and he didn't know anything else. He thought it was strange that a lieutenant could sit on an equal footing with the Duke and the general. Not only could they sit together and drink tea, but they could also make fun of themselves. It was strange. Yes, I felt a little uncomfortable, and my words were not so polite.

"Vice General Song is right. It is the county's responsibility to protect the Duke and the General. It is also your responsibility as the Lieutenant General, right? The Commander-in-Chief came to greet the Duke in person because the Duke and the General are not the same. It’s not to reduce our responsibilities. If there really is something that we can’t handle, the commander-in-chief will probably help for the sake of the prince and the general, but in his heart he should be very doubtful about our ability, right?"

"I didn't expect the county magistrate to be so good at talking. Being a military general is really a waste of talent. You should be transferred to the Yushitai by His Majesty."

He couldn't explain the reason, but Song Qiyun just didn't like Magistrate Niu. Before, he heard Shen Haolin and Shen Cha say that this man was Uncle Shen's soldier. If he hadn't injured his leg, he would be a veteran by now. But after having such contact, he always felt that something was wrong. From head to toe, this Niu County Magistrate did not look like them from the military. The more he looked at it, the more awkward he felt.

Song Qiyun didn't like Magistrate Niu, and Magistrate Niu didn't like him either. This guy named Song Qiyun didn't look like a lieutenant at all. Instead, he looked like a willful rich man. He really didn't know what the Duke and the General were like. How could he be tolerated?

"Your Majesty has the final say as to where this county should go. It has nothing to do with Vice General Song." Magistrate Niu's face suddenly turned cold. "If Vice General Song says this, isn't he afraid that this county will take part in your decision?"

"Meet me?" Song Qiyun snorted coldly and put down the tea cup in his hand, "Your Excellency, are you threatening me?"

"No, tell the truth." Magistrate Niu straightened his back, "What Deputy General Song just said is already an act of interfering in local affairs. As a local official, this county has the right to interfere with you."

"Your tone is really quite good, Ben..."

"Qiyun!" Shen Cha glanced at Song Qiyun, with a hint of warning in his eyes, "Be calm, don't be aggressive!"

"...Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, sister, don't be angry!" Song Qiyun looked at Magistrate Niu with a half-smile, "I just simply think it's a bit inappropriate for the magistrate to stay here. Hope. Although Xinzhen is not an important border town, it is the gateway to Xijing. Once a war breaks out, regardless of whether the border is lost or not, it will be as important as the border and everyone's attention will be focused here. At that time, the county magistrate will need to bear more responsibilities. Responsibility, shoulder the lives and deaths of more people. If you are so nervous now, won't you be even more panicked by then?"

"Vice General Song is really thinking long-term. He has already thought of things that have not happened. I admire him." Seeing Song Qiyun becoming more arrogant, Magistrate Niu's expression became colder and colder, and his tone of voice became more aggressive than before. " This county still said what I just said, whether it is suitable for me to stay here is not for you, the deputy general, to have the final say."

"I'll give you a word, Lord County Lord, don't underestimate anyone."

"Qiyun!" This time it was Shen Haolin's turn to speak, "If you keep talking, I will send someone to send you back to Xijing in advance!"

"Okay, shut up!" Song Qiyun covered his mouth, "But don't send me back early, otherwise there will be no fun."

"Then be honest. How did you promise me before you came out?"

"I know, I'm sorry!" Song Qiyun stuck out his tongue at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, stood up, and stretched, "Brother, sister, I'm a little tired and want to go back to rest. Don't call me for dinner. ,No appetite."

"Go!" Shen Cha stood up and put on the cloak he had left beside him, "Whenever you wake up and eat, go directly to your sister Miao Miao and ask her to make it for you."

"Yes, I will prepare delicious food for you, not for them to eat." Jin Miaomiao also got up and rubbed Song Qiyun's head, "I may not be able to sleep today. If you wake up and want to chat, , just come to me, okay?"

Song Qiyun smiled at the two people, leaned into Shen Haolin's ear, said a few words to him, and left without even looking at Magistrate Niu.

"Uncle Niu, don't mind. The child has been spoiled by the family, and he can't talk big or small." After Song Qiyun left, Shen Cha explained to Magistrate Niu on his behalf, "Originally, he couldn't come back this time, but something happened at home. He was anxious about the matter, so he spoke a little arrogantly. I ask Uncle Niu's forgiveness for any inappropriate things."

"So that's it." Only then did Magistrate Niu understand why Song Qiyun was so angry, and he was relieved and stopped worrying about it. "This Vice-General Song is not old, so he is probably very capable if he can become a deputy general."

"It's not bad. Compared with children of the same age, it's already very good."

As Shen Cha spoke, he exchanged glances with Shen Haolin, and saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.

It was almost evening when the group of them arrived. After drinking tea and chatting for a while, the sky slowly darkened.

Magistrate Niu had already arranged the reception banquet before. He knew that Shen Haolin and Shen Cha did not like extravagance, so the dinner they prepared was very ordinary dishes, without the big fish and meat. It was relatively light and very tasty.

Just when dinner was about to be finished, Ying Qi walked in from outside. He, Mei Lin and Mei Zhu were previously responsible for looking after Wanyan Xi who was in another room. However, he received a report from his subordinate Shadow and found the tails. The place to stay. He took a special look, arranged for a few shadows to keep an eye on it, and then came back to report the news.

"Send the brothers to keep an eye on it first, don't alert the enemy, and then make a decision after everything is under control."

"Yes, boss!"

Magistrate Niu and Prime Minister Meng looked at each other. Although they didn't quite understand what it meant, they more or less understood that the Duke, the general and the commander wanted to do something on their territory, but this They couldn't get involved in the matter, so there was no need to talk too much. They just pretended that they didn't exist at all, pretended that they didn't see or hear anything.

The reception banquet ended quickly. In order not to disturb Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's rest, Magistrate Niu and Cheng Meng quickly left the post house.

After looking at the room, Shen Cha took Shen Haolin and walked slowly in the yard. He ate a little too much in the evening and needed to eat.

"You asked Shi Shi to follow Uncle Niu?" Shen Cha tilted his head and looked at Shen Haolin, "Brother also noticed something was wrong?"

"We have to thank Qiyun. If it weren't for his troubles, we wouldn't have noticed it." Shen Haolin sighed, "I have to say that Qiyun's eyesight is much better than ours. He told me before he left, Let me not be careless and find someone to keep an eye on Uncle Niu. Although it is inappropriate to do so, the town is an important place and it is related to the safety of Xijing. Let’s put aside my personal feelings for the time being!"
