Before the people of Qingjiang County could figure out what was going on, they saw a group of soldiers marching into Qingjiang City with their heads held high.

"Why are there so many military masters in our Qingjiang?" watched the lively crowd ask such questions from time to time.

"Wang Erhu, do you know what's going on?"

"I'm not a soldier, I know. ”

"Isn't your brother on an errand in the Yamen?" someone wondered.

"That's business, how can you sue me casually?"

"That's right!" Passerby A nodded, and said mysteriously to the onlookers, "Do you know what this group of military masters are here for?"

"I don't know. ”

"Zhang Da, do you know?"

"I don't know," the man named Zhang Da shook his head honestly, and said with a stupid smile: "Anyway, don't do my business." ”

"Okay, you're big, you look honest, but you're actually the most treacherous inside, I guess, maybe these soldiers are passing by Qingjiang, eating a full meal and sleeping and leaving. Someone speculated triumphantly.

"Don't be embarrassed here, passing by? Our Qingjiang is far away from Xinghua Mansion, only let's go to Xinghua Mansion to detour, when will we see outsiders passing by us? Do you go into the sea from here to see the Dragon King?"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd: "Isn't it, let's go east of here is the sea, where is the road?"

"Then why do you say these military masters are here for?" the man said unconvinced.

"Don't make any noise, according to the old man's humble opinion, these people should be here to burn the county government. In the crowd, an old man in kudzu clothes stomped on the cane in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't be idle, everyone has relatives in Nanxiang and Beixiang, hurry up and report a message and let them hide." ”

"Yes, Daddy Xu is right!" someone patted his head in annoyance and said repeatedly: "Oh, how did I forget this!"

"That's right, my second uncle is in Beixiang, I saw him last time Beixiang made trouble, no, no, I have to go and report to him quickly!"

"I'll go too, I'll go!"

The crowd dispersed in a hurry, and they were all busy packing up their things and preparing to go to the countryside to report the news, but before they could take action, a notice was posted at the city gate, and the city gate was closed ahead of schedule today, and no one was allowed to leave the city.

"What's going on?" Seeing the city gate slowly closing, many people were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, "I'm from Dongxiang, I can't get home before dark, and my chickens will be taken away by weasels!"

"yes, my cow is still outside!"

"I still have a blind old lady at home!

No matter how people make trouble, the gate is still ruthlessly closed, and a group of people go to the officers and soldiers guarding the city to theorize, but they are unexpectedly reprimanded by the petty officials guarding the city gate. It doesn't matter if the chicken is lost, it doesn't matter if the old lady is hungry, and if she loses her life, there will be nothing.

At the moment, many people complained and went to find their own places, and a few people watched this scene from a distance, and their expressions gradually became solemn.

"Old Xu, what should I do?" asked a middle-aged man with a long face in a low voice.

The old man in Ge Yi, who was holding a cane, looked at the city gate official who was shouting not far away, a touch of deep thought flashed in his wise eyes, looking at the anxious face of the middle-aged man, Xu Lao smiled, "Don't worry, it's just two days ahead of the scheduled time, and the big boss should be prepared." ”

Seeing that the middle-aged man was still sweating, Xu Lao shook his head and said, "If you don't worry, you can go to Liu Datou and ask for clarification." ”

"Now?" the man looked at the sky, but it was not yet dark.

"Go now, it's crowded, and it's just not going to attract attention. The old man looked at the scattered crowd, and after a little thought, he changed his mind, "In this way, don't go in person, let Erchun go." As he spoke, he called a young student who was following them, whispered a few words, and the latter sensitive, turned around and ran to the county office.

"Liu Datou hasn't seen Erchun, is he willing to see it?" the middle-aged man said suspiciously.

"The army has entered the city, and that one is also here, Liu Datou is just when he is full of ambition, where can he not see?"

"That's good, that's good," the man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The big boss is over there......"

"Don't worry, as long as Liu Datou is ventilated with the above, the big boss will be naturally fine. ”

The man was relieved at this time, he looked at the old man with a calm look, and said with admiration: "Fortunately, there is Xu Lao in charge this time, otherwise I would have been blind." ”

Xu Lao smiled, waved his hand modestly, and said, "Don't talk about that, let's go back and prepare." ”

The middle-aged man stepped forward to hug him and said flatteringly: "I listen to Xu Lao." ”

The scene in front of the city gate was like a small wave in a river, which was soon submerged under the calm current. Just when the believers in Beixiang were in a hurry to report to the big boss, Gu Zhixian was working as a grandson in the post station.

Yes, Master Gu is now a grandson, and he doesn't need to pretend anymore.

After arranging the meals of many soldiers, and toasting Yu Baihu, Gu Qian almost trotted all the way to Lord Zhentai's residence, and after asking that Lord Zhentai was having dinner with the prefect and the general, Gu Qian led Gu An to the outside of the restaurant with a voice, lifted the lid and looked at the dishes in Gu An's tray, Gu Qian nodded with satisfaction, raised a smile, and said very familiarly: "Lord Zhentai can you eat? ”

"Master Gu, three people and nine dishes, do you think we can finish eating?" Zhou Yuntai put down his chopsticks and said unhappily.

"It's rare for adults to come to Qingjiang once, and they always have to let the officials do their best to be the landlord, not to mention, Qingjiang people have always paid attention to perfection in banquets," he said, ignoring the old man's sharp eyes, and personally brought the braised fish tail to Zhou Yuntai, "Your Excellency, please use it." ”

"I don't eat!" Lord Zhou also has a temper.

"But the dish of roasted fish tail is taken from the meaning of carp leaping over the dragon gate, if you don't use it, this banquet will not be able to end!" Gu Qian stood at the table, his face full of embarrassment.

What's more, the roasted tail banquet has been popular since the Tang Dynasty, and Gu Qian's table of wine is not a roasted tail feast in the popular sense, but this braised fish tail really gives people a head. You Lord Zhou don't want this good luck, don't you want Governor Xiao and General Li too?

Gu Qian now knows that the beautiful middle-aged man sitting on the left side is his top boss Xiao Yuqing, peeking at it, Xiao Yuqing is still the typical good old man smile, seeing that Zhou Yuntai is displeased, he smiled and excused Gu Qian: "Lord Zhentai, Gu Zhixian is also kind, it's just a piece of fishtail, Lord Zhentai should give Wangzhou a thin noodle!"

"This ......" Zhou Yuntai knew Xiao Yuqing's character, and it was not good not to give him face, he sighed, picked up the chopsticks helplessly, and said while picking up the fishtail: "You, you must not relax when you should discipline." ”

"The lower official knows his mistake. ”

The meal was eaten smoothly, and the adults watched Gu Zhixian eat, and the adults withdrew from the table, and Gu Zhixian had to send fragrant tea to the adults.

After Zhou Yuntai tasted tea, Gu Zhixian hurriedly stuffed a bowl of noodles into his mouth, which was still left for him by Gu Anxin's affection. Eating the noodles that were all mushy into a mush, Gu Zhixian secretly swore in his heart that one day Lao Tzu will be developed, and you will also be able to eat the taste of this pasty noodles.

It's just that now he is a small official, and it is not yet time for him to exert his authority. Gu Zhixian finished eating the noodles, wiped his mouth happily, and then entered the meeting room of Lord Zhentai very unhappily.

"Caution is coming. Governor Xiao saw him come in, and said with a pleasant face: "We are studying a plan to calm down the chaotic people, and I just want to hear your opinion." ”

"When Xia Guan first came to Qingjiang, he was not familiar with government affairs, so he had any opinions. ”

"Really?" Zhou Yuntai looked at him, and became more and more unaccustomed to his lazy appearance, "There are chaotic people in Nanxiang and Beixiang, but there is one south and one north, the old man has limited troops this time, so he can only attack Yixiang first, you can talk about it, do you want to attack Nanxiang or Beixiang first?"
