The battle of Qingjiang was an unprecedented victory, and the city of Qingjiang County was full of jubilation.

Although it is a pity that more than a dozen good players were lost, it could not hide the victory of killing more than 100 Japanese soldiers. For more than ten years, the Japanese invaders have been plagued by the southeast coast, and this is the first time that the people of the Jing Dynasty have won a victory in the true sense.

"My lord, the families of the dozen brothers have been notified, and good coffins have been prepared for them. Gu Tai walked over with a heavy expression.

"Bury them well, and the money for the family must not be missing. ”

"Yes. ”

After settling the sacrificed soldiers, Gu Qian breathed a sigh of relief, he did not participate in the celebrations in the city, but walked into the signing room with a tired look, ready to summarize the battle situation, waiting to send a fold of merit.

"My lord, the drinks are ready, why are you still hiding here?" Duan Wenrui walked in with a smile.

"You just take your brothers to eat and drink well, I'm a little tired and want to take a break. ”

"You don't look good, are you sick?" The smile on Duan Wenrui's face disappeared, he took a step forward, looked at Gu Qian with concern and said.

"It's fine, it's just that I haven't slept all night, and I'm just a little in good spirits. Gu Qian pinched his eyebrows and smiled.

"Then I'll help you go to rest?"

"No, I want to finish this fold first. Gu Qian put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile, "You go to the bar, I have Xiao Jiu here." ”

"They've all drunk it, and they're more comfortable drinking than I'm doing. Duan Wenrui didn't listen to Gu Qian's words, but walked over, quietly glanced at Gu Qian's excerpt, and said with a smile, "My lord is writing an excerpt asking for merit, this time your credit is so great, I'm afraid that when the above instructions come down, you will be promoted, right?"

"It's hard to say. Gu Qian shook his head and said with a smile.

"Why?" Seeing that there was no joy on Gu Qian's face, Duan Wenrui's brows also furrowed, "The method of military training was taught by you, and the Mandarin Duck Formation was also created by you, we annihilated the Japanese Invaders twice, there are one hundred and sixty-seven people, and there is no general in the entire Fujian Province who has such military exploits as you!"

"It would be nice if the affairs of officialdom could only be discussed on military merits. Seeing Duan Wenrui's puzzled face, Gu Qian didn't bother to explain to him that he had offended Yan Shoufu, and there were several times the "black history" that he couldn't get along with Governor Xiao's mansion, with these two gods in the way, it was a blessing that he didn't carry a punishment.

Sure enough, as Gu Qian expected, before his request for merit was handed over, the complaint letter from Zhou Datong, the commander of Linshui County next door, had already been sent to the desk of Governor Xiao's mansion. Zhou Datong's letter not only did not mention the merits of Qingjiang County's strangulation of the Japanese invaders, but slandered Gu Qian's corpse and ignored the Japanese invaders, thus leading to the tragedy of the Xue family in Qingjiang Dongxiang being tortured and killed by the Japanese invaders, and because Gu Qian did not dare to face the enemy head-on, he drove a large number of Japanese invaders into Linshui County. If it weren't for Zhou Datong's resolute response to the enemy, burning down the nest of the Japanese and driving them into the sea, Linshui County would not be at peace now.

What is the meaning of reversing black and white, and what is the meaning of the wicked suing first, Zhou County's order has taught Gu County's order a solid lesson.

"My lord, go and kill that dog officer!"

Hearing that Zhou Datong had sued Gu Qian in front of the prefect, Duan Wenrui's face turned pale with anger, and he couldn't wait to rush to Linshui County immediately and chop the upside-down Zhou Datong into meat sauce.

"You stop me!" Gu Qian snorted coldly, forcing Duan Wenrui to stop his steps.

"My lord, they are so deceitful, you can swallow this breath, I can't swallow it!"

"You're getting more and more tempered. Gu Qian shook his head and smiled, "Don't be angry, I already have a way to deal with this matter, you have to wait patiently for some time, things may take a turn for the better." ”

"But Xiao Yuqing's person is not easy to deal with. ”

"Don't forget that he was just suppressed by the Xue family, and now that Zhou Datong has brought up the matter of the Xue family again, I'm afraid the Xue family is not willing to sympathize with this matter. ”

Duan Wenrui was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the second master Xue's in-laws and Xiao Governor's Mansion were fighting for the salt transfer envoy, it had been a month, but the Xiao Governor's Mansion had not moved the place, it can be seen that the position of the salt transfer envoy had been fought for by the second master Xue's in-laws, and the Xue family was in the limelight, but the Xiao Governor's Mansion took out the matter of the Xue family's death and said, no matter what, it was always a little unkind.

What's more, the Xue family had won over Gu Qian at that time, if Zhou Da was allowed to pour dirty water on Gu Qian, I am afraid that the Xue family would not be able to agree.

After Governor Xiao called Gu Qian to Shangfu City to give a lecture, about a month passed, and Jingli's instructions finally arrived.

Although Gu Qian had meritorious service in exterminating the Japanese, he did not do anything accountable, did not protect the villagers effectively, and even allowed the Japanese to attack and harass Linxian County.

When this order came, Gu Qian didn't say anything, but Duan Wenrui was dumbfounded, "What's going on? Why didn't you reward you, but sent you to Xuanda?"

"This is already the result of the mediation from above. Gu Qian sighed, and didn't explain too much to Duan Wenrui that he sent a letter to the capital, and then the Xu faction and the Yan faction fought over it.

"But Xuanda is thousands of miles away from Fujian!" Duan Wenrui thought of this, and his heart was full of reluctance.

"The order of the officials has been issued, where is my room to choose. Gu Qian thought that Xuanda still had the person he wanted to get acquainted, but he didn't feel sad in his heart, but had some expectations.

"My lord, I would like to go with you. Duan Wenrui said sincerely.

"You've made it to the head of a county, and if you go with me, your future will be ruined. Gu Qian shook his head and said: "The Japanese are in trouble in the southeast, although they have temporarily retreated, but sooner or later they will come back, you have mastered the method of resisting the Japanese, and Qingjiang can't leave you." ”

"It was the lord who led me into the official road, and the position of the master book was also planned by the lord, you are gone, what does it mean for me to stay in Qingjiang by myself?"

"You also know that I am thousands of miles away from Xuanda, and the official can't judge what the future holds, so you still stay in Qingjiang for the time being, waiting for the opportunity. ”

"My lord!" Duan Wenrui said hurriedly.

"I've made up my mind, so I don't need to say more. Gu Qian waved his hand and turned his back.

Duan Wenrui was sad in his heart, and bowed deeply to him, and then hid his face.

After taking care of all the things in Qingjiang, the timing was already in winter, in order not to disturb the people of Qingjiang, Gu Qian chose to go out of the city in the early morning when the city gate had just opened.

"Master Gu, go all the way!" As soon as his carriage left the city, it was blocked by the people who surrounded him.

"Master Gu, we can't bear you!"

Gu Qian was taken aback, and hurriedly got out of the car, only to see that outside the gate of Qingjiang County, it was crowded with people seeing him off, some of them were carrying baskets, some were carrying food boxes, whether it was snacks, vegetables and fruits, or Qingjiang's specialties and other things, they were stuffed into Gu Qian's carriage one by one.

"Folks, this can't be helped!" Gu Qian repeatedly refused.

"Lord Gu, this is the Wanmin umbrella that the people of Qingjiang rushed to make overnight, give it to the adult, and hope that the adult will accept it. ”

"Master Gu, you are a good official!"

"Master Gu, don't leave ......"

The scene of seeing off was both warm and touching, Gu Qian looked at the ardent eyes of the people, his eyes were hot, and he almost couldn't help but cry. After thanking the villagers for saying goodbye, he looked back at the tall city wall of Qingjiang City, and saw that on the city wall, Duan Wenrui and the soldiers who had participated in the battle of Qingjiang raised the long knives in their hands, and they were seeing off Gu Qian in their own way.

"Let's go. No matter how reluctant he is, he will leave after all, Gu Qian waved his hand at the city wall, and gave a deep salute to the people of Qingjiang, and then he got into the carriage and lowered the curtain that covered him.

The wheels rolled, leaving the reluctant calls of the people far behind.
