Qin Yuan didn't think too much about it, so he said: "Okay, I'll do my best to help Brother Hu take the position of the city lord of the Yellow City, I just don't know what the process of selecting the city lord is, and where I should work hard." ”

Seeing Qin Yuan's promise, Zhou Xiaohu was also happy, and said: "Actually, this so-called city lord selection is the same thing, it is mainly divided into three parts, the first is to confirm the qualifications, the worship of the city lord's mansion, the greedy wolf chief and the walking, deacon, and greedy wolf commander of the domain lord's mansion can all be qualified, and there are also some core disciples of the big sect, and Sister Qingyu was qualified as the core disciple of the Haoran Sect at that time. ”

Qin Yuan nodded, in this way, although he was in the enshrinement seat for a short time, and he was removed in the later stage, he had done it before, and he was barely qualified to be selected.

Zhou Xiaohu continued: "This second part is really moving, it is called the literary test, which is to test some exam questions related to the jurisdiction of the ruler and the jurisdiction. ”

Qin Yuan grinned, he is a top student of BGI, he has never been afraid of the exam, and no one is good, but he has never experienced this civil service exam, let alone prepared, let him take the woolen exam?

Besides, he had only been in the cultivation world for a few months, and he was not very clear about the unique rules of conduct in the cultivation world, and he probably couldn't make up many of them if he wanted to.

Zhou Xiaohu was also a little worried about Qin Yuan, and said: "I brought you a few books, all of which are examples of some city lords in the cultivation world governing the jurisdiction, you take advantage of some time tonight, read more, and it will be light if you are not happy to sharpen your spear." ”

Qin Yuan's mouth grinned even wider, and he said, "Tonight?"

"Do you think that the selection of the city lord of Huangcheng City is tomorrow, otherwise I can be in such a hurry?" Zhou Xiaohu said angrily.

Qin Yuan was even more angry, a little annoyed, and said: "Brother Hu, I will be selected tomorrow, don't you feel a little unreliable if you let me stab my head tonight?"

Who knew that Zhou Xiaohu was even more angry, and said: "Grass, do you think Lao Tzu wants to, I don't know what kind of wind is pumping over there in the Domain Lord's Mansion, I also got the news two hours ago, otherwise I need to be so anxious to get angry?"

Qin Yuan was stunned and asked, "You also know?"

"Not really!"

Zhou Xiaohu patted the table hatefully, "It is estimated that someone has sent benefits to the Domain Lord's Mansion, and they will prepare in advance to make a time difference and weaken the strength of other competitors, so that they can sit on the position of the city lord openly." ”

"Eh, okay, I can only say that I do my best, so what is the third part?" Qin Yuan said helplessly.

"This third part is what you and I are best at, fighting, catching and killing, wheel warfare, living in battle, dying in battle, and taking the position of city lord in battle. Zhou Xiaohu grinned and said dryly.

Qin Yuan nodded, although Zhou Xiaohu looked very bold and stupid at this time, Qin Yuan also admitted that this third part was indeed what they were best at, real hard kung fu.

But his question came immediately, saying, "Why haven't I found a place where I can help you?"

Zhou Xiaohu corrected seriously: "You help me is one of them, and more importantly, we will fight for the position of the city lord with all our might, as long as we sit on the throne of the city lord, then this yellow city is the territory of you and my brother, and no one dares to bully me like those big families, and more importantly, we can use this place to let our people who live in all directions have a peaceful and contented environment." ”

Qin Yuan glanced at Zhou Xiaohu deeply, this guy can always think of his clansmen, which Qin Yuan can't compare to no matter what.

He never intended to be the city lord, but this time, he had to fight no matter what, he didn't want to become the city lord himself, he just wanted to help Zhou Xiaohu once.

Zhou Xiaohu then realized that he hadn't answered Qin Yuan's previous question, and said: "In the final catch-and-fight, those big family forces will often play some tricks, such as three people fighting one person, the cultivation is almost the same, the person who is targeted is easy to lose, what the two of us have to do is to disperse the other party's forces, and we must not let them fight against only one person." ”

Qin Yuan finally understood why Zhou Xiaohu had to pull him along.

Zhou Xiaohu's cultivation is not low, but it is definitely not too high, he has the strength to fight beyond the ranks, but if two or three people fight in wheels, then I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

"Brother Hu, don't worry, don't say anything else, it's not much of a problem to help you fight twice. ”

Qin Yuan swore an oath, and said with a smile, "If you sit on the position of the city lord, brother, I don't have to worry about this, haha, then it will really be good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree." ”

Zhou Xiaohu also laughed, but immediately said with a serious face, "It's not me who sits in the position of the city lord, it's the two of us brothers who are going to compete for the position of the city lord, if you can meet in the last round, the elder brother will put the words here first, I won't show mercy to my subordinates, I don't want you to be merciful, my brother admires you very much, but you also have to look down on your brother." ”

"Cheng, there will be no mercy at that time, don't blame your brother for his heavy hands. "Qin Yuan didn't expect to meet in the end, he is now the city lord of Suiren City, and he can't get that big mess, where can he have the leisure to be the city lord of this Yellow City, the reason why he agreed like this is just to reassure Zhou Xiaohu.

Zhou Xiaohu didn't doubt him, laughed a few times, and told Qin Yuan to read the books he left behind, maybe it would be of great use then, Qin Yuan didn't like this kind of temporary hugging of the Buddha's family, and he had never temporarily hugged the Buddha's feet, and he didn't take precautions, it was irresponsible to himself, but now, it can only be like this, otherwise what else can he do?

After sending Zhou Xiaohu away, Qin Yuan returned home and opened the three books left by Zhou Xiaohu.

One of these three books is called "The Ring of Officials", one is called "Two Thousand Years of Events", and the bottom one is called "Wenzheng Zhishilu", when he turned to the third book, Qin Yuan's fingers were slightly stiff, Wenzheng, a very familiar name.

Zeng Guofan's nickname is Wenzheng, and later generations call it Wenzheng Gong.

Qin Yuan opened the bibliography and found that it was just the same name, this old gentleman Wen Zheng's surname was Wen Mingzheng, he lived more than 1,700 years ago, lived for more than 600 years, and also became a city lord for more than 600 years.

Since it is temporary, if you want to study it all thoroughly, it is absolutely impossible, and Qin Yuan can only find the most pleasing book to read first, slowly comprehend and experience, and understand a little bit.

As he read and read, he couldn't help but think back to the time when he practiced the halberd method with that strange old man.

Again, he thought that he had practiced almost, and if he wanted to learn the next style, he actually wanted to play as soon as he finished learning, but the bad old man was extremely strict, and he almost couldn't do it at all, so he had to eat it all thoroughly and grasp the heat just right.

He still remembers that sentence in his heart, "If you eat a mouthful of rice, you have to chew a mouthful of rice, and if you don't chew it but you are greedy, you will miss a lot of taste." ”

At that time, Qin Yuan hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, and he became full of food, where did he care about your so much bullshit, but now that he thinks about it, there is a big truth in this.

This is also the reason why he has been able to get to where he is today for so many years.

Still in line with the previous principle, the meal should be eaten in one bite, and the book should be read page by page, Qin Yuan followed the "Wenzheng Zhi Shilu", read page by page, there was no anxiety in his heart, and his eyes only had lead words.

It wasn't until midnight that Xia Shiyu sent herbal tea and snacks that Qin Yuan suddenly discovered that the book "Wenzhengzhi Shilu" had been turned over by him, and it was already the end of the last page.

"Haha, sure enough, you can do things only when you are calm. ”

Qin Yuan sighed with emotion, if he hurriedly went to turn over these books, I am afraid that he would lose more time, not to mention the content of swallowing dates.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that after he became a cultivator, his body evolved at the same time, and his brain also evolved.

Xia Shiyu glanced at the books on the table, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "No wonder I always failed you in exams when I was in school, it turns out that you are playing during the day and studying at night, and the top students are really insidious." ”

Qin Yuan grinned, hugged Xia Shiyu on his lap, kissed her on the cheek of the frost and snow, and said: "Xueba are all greedy people, ordinary people are greedy for games and fun, Xueba is greedy for knowledge and achievements, and they are quite greedy, like the fox spirit who has been imprisoned for thousands of years and suddenly smells delicious chicken soup, so they can become Xueba." ”

Xia Shiyu struggled out of Qin Yuan's arms, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I've seen myself boast about myself, but I've never seen someone like you boast in such a different way." ”

Qin Yuan laughed, drank herbal tea, ate snacks, chatted with Xia Shiyu for a while, rested for a while, and began to open the second book again.

Xia Shiyu saw that he was not only reading seriously, but also sketching and drawing, taking notes very seriously, the pen rubbing against the thick pages of the book made a "rustling" sound like an old cannibalized mulberry, and the handwriting made by the ink flowing from under the tip of the pen was neat and powerful, very good-looking.

She somewhat understood why Qin Yuan still used such a laborious tool in this era when fountain pens were almost eliminated, and the sound, touch, and handwriting were indeed not comparable to a silky gel pen.

Holding her cheeks, squinting her eyes, and looking at the man who was immersed in hard reading for a long time, Xia Shiyu gently pushed open the door, walked out slowly, and gently closed the door.

She walked out of Qin Yuan's room, and came to Lan Tan Immortal Gu's room, Lan Tan Fairy Gu had not yet slept, she was fiddling with some medicinal materials, those medicinal materials were brought back by Qin Yuan from the secret realm, and they were different from the earth, and they were also different from the sea of thousands of flowers, which made her full of interest.

Xia Shiyu sat in front of her master, and said with a sad face: "Master, will the master come tomorrow?"

Lan Tan Immortal Gu smiled and said, "Master, his old man's cultivation is profound, but he is close to the end of the world, and he will arrive tomorrow, and he will definitely arrive tomorrow." ”

"Oh. ”

Xia Shiyu responded lightly, not very interested.

Lan Tan Immortal Gu smiled bitterly, stroked Xia Shiyu's head, and said, "If you are reluctant, you can also let your ancestor stay here for a few more days, I believe he also wants to see the customs and customs here." ”

Xia Shiyu's eyes lit up, but immediately dimmed again, shook his head firmly, and said, "Thank you Master for your kindness, let's leave tomorrow, I'm afraid that if I stay any longer, I'm really reluctant to leave." ”
