After Xiao Ding and the others entered Yongzhou City, they planned to go to the night market to buy some supplies needed on the road, after all, it would take at least two or three hours to go to Luoxia Village, and they still needed to prepare the things they needed on the road.

It's just that I didn't expect that when a few people were wandering in front of a green building, Xiao Ding unexpectedly saw two old people, Fei Wen, the former commander of the southern camp of the Yongzhou Xiang Army, and Bian Hongtai, the marquis of Yu, and his entourage.

These two were very good friends before, and they belonged to the kind of good friends who "carried guns together, went to the countryside together, shared dirt together, and prostituted together".

However, when Xiao Ding saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't see the kind of "base" that the two of them had before, but saw that Fei Wen hated Bian Hongtai now and hated it so much.

As for Bian Hongtai, he is unrepentant, and he can't see Fei Wen's hatred for him at all, and he still squirms and pesters Fei Wen.

Seeing this, Xiao Ding almost didn't laugh out loud. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Ding did not stop, and took Liu San and them to walk quickly in front of the Qinglou, but did not attract the attention of Fei Wen and Bian Hongtai.

After walking over, Xiao Ding was still thinking in his heart, what will these two people develop into in the end?

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why Bian Hongtai became the virtue he is today is inseparable from the kick he kicked him at the beginning. It is estimated that Bian Hongtai will have to resent himself for the rest of his life.

After buying things in the night market, everyone returned to the inn and went back to their rooms to take a bath and rest.

The next morning, after breakfast, a few people were about to check out and go on the road. Suddenly, a man who looked like a little guy came to Xiaoding's door, claiming to be here to deliver a letter.

Xiao Ding took the invitation handed over by Xiao Ding and looked at it, and secretly slandered himself in his heart, saying that the more he worried about something, the more he would come.

It turned out that this invitation was sent by Zhou Siyuan, the governor of Yongzhou, and invited Xiaoding to the luncheon.

When Xiao Ding saw it, he sighed secretly, he couldn't hurry up today!

Lord Zhizhou's face can't help but give, since he specially sent someone to send him an invitation, he naturally has already figured out his itinerary.

Although he was given the rank of a general by the emperor, he did not have an official position with specific real power, as the so-called, the county official is not as good as the current management, the governor of Yongzhou is just above his head, and if he wants to mix in the world of Yongzhou in the future, it is better to have a good relationship with the local parents and officials.

told the little guy that he would go over to the banquet on time at noon, and then took out two taels of silver and left the little guy. Only then did Xiao Ding tell everyone the news that he couldn't continue to travel today.

When everyone heard this, they had to delay for another day, and they all felt very helpless.

When he went to the banquet, Xiao Ding still couldn't go empty-handed, so he still selected a good-looking jade from the remaining jade, packed it in a gift box, and prepared to give it to Zhou Zhizhou later.

After the hour, when it was almost time, Xiao Ding brought the gift box and asked Liu San to catch the carriage and send him to the Zhizhou Mansion.

The Zhizhou Mansion in Yongzhou is much better than the Zhizhou Mansion in Yanzhou, at least it doesn't look like the feeling of entering the village.

After entering the mansion, I saw Zhou Siyuan chatting with the local officials in Yongzhou.

Xiao Ding handed over the gift box, hugged his fists and saluted Zhou Siyuan and said, "I have seen Lord Zhizhou!" ”

Zhou Siyuan ordered someone to take the gift box, and said politely: "General Tian doesn't have to be polite, you just come to the banquet, why bother to spend money and prepare gifts!" ”

In fact, Xiao Ding could see from his smiling face that he was very happy to see Xiao Ding have a gift. It's just that the kind words on the surface still have to be said, this is the old fritter that has been mixed with officialdom for a long time.

But Xiao Ding will not be stupid enough to expose it directly, he can only pretend to be hypocritical and say: "Since the last time Yongzhou said goodbye, it has been almost two months, and the humble position is very unforgettable for the kindness of Lord Zhizhou, so I prepared a thin gift and came to thank my lord!" ”

"Ahhh General Tian, I didn't expect that the last time I saw you, you were just a commander, but when I saw you this time, you had become a famous general in Pingxi! It seems that it is really 'three things apart, impressive'! Ha ha! Ha ha! Zhou Siyuan said with a haha.

"Thanks to Lord Zhou's lift, the grace of the saints, there is a humble position, Lord Zhou gave me this sword last time, and he has saved my life many times, I really want to thank the adults a lot!" Xiao Ding said politely again.

"That's also the credit that General Tian deserves! I don't think General Tian should continue to be polite, come on, come, I'll introduce you to each other. Zhou Zhizhou said.

Then, Zhou Siyuan introduced Xiaoding to all the officials present, large and small, one by one.

After everyone greeted each other for a while, the little maid brought tea. Xiao Ding was also seated, and everyone continued to chat with each other for a while, and then the luncheon began.

Everyone is feasting. After eating and drinking, the topic is still to praise each other and tell about their various achievements. Even when they were drunk, some officials also posted the glorious history of a few chicks who went to the hospital overnight, which attracted other officials to echo it.

When Xiao Ding saw the behavior of these officials, he felt a little resistant. He is a person who has crossed over, and he has watched it in TV series, and he also understands the darkness of some officialdom, it should be said that in history, in all dynasties and generations, few of these officials are good things, and basically few stocks are clean.

Therefore, when Xiao Ding rewarded him with the emperor, he tried his best to persuade the emperor not to give himself an official, he didn't like this kind of officialdom at all.

At the banquet, many people came to toast Xiao Ding, after all, he was a general appointed by the emperor himself, and he also rewarded him with a general's mansion. Where can ordinary officials be treated like this? These magistrates have never even seen what the emperor looks like, and most of their official positions are arranged by officials through connections. So they are all very envious of Xiao Ding.

After frowning and eating this luncheon, although he didn't drink less wine, he was not drunk, through the conversation with Zhou Zhizhou, he knew that it turned out that Zhou Siyuan had heard the news of Xiao Ding's return to Yongzhou from Zhongzhou, so he had already arranged spies at the four gates of Yongzhou City to visit Xiao Ding's whereabouts, as long as Xiao Ding entered the city, he would be able to get the news in time. Then came to woo Xiao Ding.

Those who are officials know how to win over people who are useful to them, Xiao Ding is a general who was personally rewarded by the emperor, and Zhou Zhizhou naturally will not easily let go of the opportunity to win over. Perhaps, one day when Xiao Ding meets the emperor, he will say a few good words for himself, so that his official position can be promoted one step further.

After the banquet was over, Xiao Ding really didn't want to see the hypocritical faces of these officials again, so he offered his farewell, claiming that he was in a hurry and needed to go back in advance to prepare.

Zhou Zhizhou will not stay longer. Xiao Ding left the Zhizhou Mansion.

On the way back, Xiao Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, this time he should be able to go on the road tomorrow!
