Yongzhou was blooming everywhere, and everyone was very busy, but Shao Peichen, who was far away in Chaiyang, had a splitting headache.

On this day, the county magistrate of Yucheng took office and passed through Chaiyang.

Shao Peichen stood on top of the city tower, holding the stone bricks on the city wall tightly with both hands.

The rough gravel was embedded in his skin, but Shao Peichen felt no pain at all. His eyes were fixed on the trucks and cars going away.

He took over Jade City from Huo Tingyu because he had no choice but to do so.

If you don't accept it, if you let the Chairman know about it, you will start to doubt your motives; if you accept it, then there will be two Chairmans in the entire northwest watching your every move, and you will be restricted in everything you do. You are really a coward.

.

Shao Peichen looked at the convoy going away and took a deep breath. If he continued like this, as long as he turned all of the northwest into the land of the Republic of China, his life would be over.

Therefore, Shao Peichen actually hoped that the other warlords in the northwest would be more upbeat and that he could spend more time.

While Shao Peichen suffered greatly here and had deep hatred, the county government in Chaiyang was a different scene.

The county magistrate of Chaiyang was sitting at his desk, talking on the phone with Shao Peichen's superior and bitter rival, the chairman of the committee.

Liu Yunxi was standing next to the county magistrate at the moment, listening to his fair and just plan for Shao Peichen.

She clenched her fists with infinite expectations in her heart.

When the county magistrate put down the phone, she looked at him expectantly.

The county magistrate pursed his lips, with a troubled look on his face: "Shao Peichen is still useful now, but we may have to wait."

Wait? What Liu Yunxi is not afraid of the most is waiting.

She nodded heavily and gritted her teeth angrily: "I'll wait, I'll wait to see if Shao Peichen's life is worse than death."

But she didn't see the satisfaction that the plan had succeeded flash across the county magistrate's eyes.

After a few days, the new county magistrate of Yucheng settled everything and took time to go to Chaiyang to meet the consul from the northwest, Shao Peichen.

Shao Peichen received the news early and worked alone in the yard for a long time. He looked straight at the clouds passing by in the sky. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time, Shao Peichen suddenly sat up and knocked over the tea on the table.

The maid on the side didn't know what to do, so she could only kneel on the ground quickly, fearing that she would be like the teacup on the table and suffer inexplicable disaster.

Only Shao Peichen knew why he was angry. He was in a dilemma. He took a long breath and made a decision that no one would have thought of.

On the day when the Yucheng County Magistrate came to pay his respects, the entire Chaiyang County Yamen was extremely lively inside and outside.

Shao Peichen looked at the eyeliners of the two committee chairmen in front of him and responded with a smile.

"Master Shao, I am the newly appointed county magistrate of Yucheng, He Cheng."

"Hello, County Magistrate." Shao Peichen said expressionlessly.

The county magistrate of Chaiyang in the distance also hurried over: "Hello, Magistrate He, I have long admired my name. My name is Lu Ze, and I am the county magistrate of Chaiyang."

As he said that, the two county magistrates clasped their hands tightly.

Shao Peichen glanced at the hands held by the two of them calmly, and sneered in his heart.

The location where Lu Ze was just now was not very close, so it was logical that he could not hear He Cheng's name clearly, but Lu Ze just called out He Cheng's name accurately.

It seems that the two of them knew each other in advance. If I guessed correctly, the two of them should have been arranged in advance by the chairman.

Shao Peichen pursed his lips: "Here he comes."

With that said, he led the way and took the lead to the Chaiyang County Government Office.

He glanced at Liu Yunxi who was standing aside. Liu Yunxi had something on her mind, but she usually didn't dare to look at Shao Peichen, so he didn't notice anything unusual now.

But when Lu Ze walked in, his eyes wandered on Liu Yunxi and Shao Peichen. Shao Peichen looked at Lu Ze's eyes and frowned.

Lu Ze has been with Liu Yunxi during this period and seems to be quite close. He does not believe that Lu Ze will really fall in love with Liu Yunxi, but as long as Liu Yunxi can keep an eye on Lu Ze's movements for him, that will be fine.

But for such a long time, Liu Yunxi had not told him anything about Lu Ze, which made him feel a little unhappy for a while.

But now the situation is very obvious. These two people are obviously the chairman who came to the northwest to monitor his task of conquering the northwest.

Seeing both of them sitting down, Shao Peichen said quietly: "That's good. With the help of you two, we can conquer the northwest as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he looked at the two county magistrates, with a meaningful smile on his face, looking quite wily.

Lu Ze and He Cheng both knew Shao Peichen's residence, and when they looked at each other, they saw the understanding look in each other's eyes.

Lu Ze obviously spent more time dealing with Shao Peichen than He Cheng, so he spoke first: "What did Master Shao say? What are the two of us doing in the northwest? We still have to rely on your guidance."

He also smiled at Shao Peichen.

Shao Peichen looked at him and knew that he was warning him not to make any small moves in the northwest, and if something went wrong in this operation to conquer the northwest, it would be his responsibility, Shao Peichen.

"What Magistrate Lu said is right. Before I came, the chairman of the committee specifically asked me many times to obey Mr. Shao's arrangements in the northwest and not to act rashly." He Cheng also hurriedly applied eye drops to Shao Peichen.

Shao Peichen twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at He Cheng, the newly appointed Magistrate of Yucheng County with a smile, and said: "In that case, what does Magistrate He think of the current situation in the northwest?"

Looking at Shao Peichen's enigmatic smile, He Cheng might not know what he was thinking, but Lu Ze, after working with Shao Peichen for such a long time, knew that Shao Peichen was trying to find out whether He Cheng had been ordered by the chairman of the committee.

He was afraid that He Ze would fall into Shao Peichen's trap without paying attention, so he quickly grabbed the topic and said, "Master Shao is really concerned about what big thing you are going to do, why don't you tell me now!"

Lu Ze deliberately emphasized the word "big event" and looked at He Ze with a pair of nervous eyes.

Shao Peichen saw Lu Ze grabbing the conversation and gave Lu Ze a meaningful look. Lu Ze just pretended not to see Shao Peichen's look.

Before He Cheng came, he had been given many instructions by the Chairman. However, when he met Shao Peichen for the first time and suddenly met his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, he was inevitably a little panicked.

Now Lu Ze gave himself a buffer time, and He Cheng also realized that Shao Peichen was by no means a kind person. Every word he said seemed to be for the Republic of China, but in fact he was testing his own movements.

Sure enough, as the chairman said, he is good at calculation and understands people's hearts.

He Cheng said after careful consideration: "Master Shao, aren't you the one who has the final say on these matters in the northwest? County Magistrate Lu and I are just here to help you."

Shao Peichen smiled: "Help? Is there nothing else?"

There was no trace of smile in his eyes. He looked back and forth between Lu Ze and He Cheng, and sighed again.

He Cheng already knew that Shao Peichen was trying to trick him, so he was very careful in his answer: "You alone have the final say in so many things in the northwest. Just say that we won Chaiyang without spending a single soldier."

and Yucheng are all due to you."
