Not long after, under the leadership of the guards, Xiao Yuan entered the hall of the county government.

Seeing him, the young man hurriedly stood up, and arched his hand towards Yu Anmin and said, "Lord County Shou, since General Xiao has arrived, there must be official business to talk to the adults, so it is inconvenient to bother you in the future, so I will leave." ”

"Huh? It doesn't matter, Zhong Gongzi is not an outsider. ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Anmin waved his hand and said, "Son, please sit down, later, you and I will have a few drinks together." ”

"This ......" When the young man heard this, he had no choice but to sit back and smile apologetically at Xiao Yuan.

His appearance is very handsome, about the same age as Xiao Yuan, he is also dressed in brocade clothes, and his hair is tied with a hosta, and he is a standard son.

Xiao Yuan didn't know him, but the other party was so polite, he also nodded slightly to show that he returned the courtesy.

At this time, Yu Anmin also glanced at Xiao Yuan, and then said lukewarmly: "Captain Xiao's official position is not big, but the shelf is not small, I have been in office for several days before I remembered that I am the county guard of Anyang." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was helpless, so he could only bow his hand and say: "Don't blame me, after the arrival of the lower officer, because the military camp has not been built, and many soldiers have not been arranged, therefore, for the delay in military affairs, I will visit today to make amends to the adults, and I hope that the adults will forgive me." ”

When he said this, Yu Anmin's face finally softened a little, and he also began to say: "Captain Xiao, don't stand there, take a seat." ”

"Master Xie." Xiao Yuan said a word and took a seat under his side.

"Come on, serve tea."

After the servants in the mansion brought the tea, Yu Anmin began to stretch out his hand and introduced: "Captain Xiao, this is Zhong Bai, Zhong Gongzi, the ancestor is a meritorious hero of my empire, and he has the hereditary viscount title. ”

At that time, the title was rare, and at some point, it was more important than the official position, just like Yu Anmin, although he was the county guard of Anyang, he did not have a title, and this Zhong Bai, although he was not an official, was a standard family of magnates.

And with his family background and title, it is estimated that it is very simple to become an official, and it is no wonder that Yu Anmin is so polite to him.

After listening to the introduction, Xiao Yuan also arched his hand towards Zhong Bai and said, "It turned out to be Zhong Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"Where, where, General Xiao is too polite." Zhong Bai also arched his hand with a smile.

After the polite greetings on the scene, Xiao Yuan also turned the topic to the garrison and said to Yu Anmin: "Lord County Guard, according to the will of the imperial court, all military supplies of our department should be allocated by the county, and I don't know if your lord knows about this matter." ”

"Yes." Yu Anmin nodded and said, "The imperial court order has been received, and Captain Xiao doesn't have to worry about your food, grass and ordnance, etc., the county will issue it as scheduled." ”

"In this way, Xia Guan understands." Xiao Yuan's heart was a little more settled, he was really afraid that this county guard would give him a push, and when the time came, it would not be as simple as a small trouble.

At this time, it was almost lunch time, and after the face-to-face fight, the three of them talked a few more words, and Yu Anmin naturally began to stay with Xiao Yuan to eat on the surface.

The latter excused himself, but eventually stayed.

During the banquet, the atmosphere was okay, there was no intrigue, and there was no cynicism, at least on the surface, Xiao Yuan still can't see through this county guard, and I don't know what kind of person he is.

However, his impression of Zhong Bai is still quite good, and he thinks that this person is a humble gentleman and attaches great importance to etiquette.

After eating, he also began to say goodbye to Yu Anmin and prepared to return to Liucheng, but the latter did not stay long.

I have met with Shangguan on this trip, and the task has been completed, but he didn't bring any courtesy, and I don't know if the county guard has any thoughts in his heart.

However, after he left the county mansion, Zhong Bai walked out after him, and called behind him: "General Xiao stays." ”

"Zhong Gongzi?" Xiao Yuan's feet paused.

Zhong Bai followed a few steps, and then walked with Xiao Yuan, saying as he walked: "General, don't keep calling Zhong Gongzi Zhong Gongzi, it sounds weird and awkward." ”

"This." Xiao Yuan smiled dryly, not knowing how to answer this question.

Zhong Bai continued: "I have long heard that the general broke the Moon City with 500 elites, and then attacked the enemy camp with 3,000 warriors, burned the grain and grass of the ghost army, and relieved the siege of Liucheng. ”

As he spoke, he said again: "Fortunately, I met the general in the county government today, if the general doesn't give up, would you like to make me a friend?" ”

Oh? Xiao Yuan's heart moved, this person specifically found out, that's what he said?

But the other party had already said so, and he could only return: "So, it's an honor, but Zhong Gongzi is too high-spirited." ”

"Look, they're all friends, and if you see each other like this, I can call you Brother Xiao." Zhong Bai said with a smile.

"Haha, okay, Brother Zhong." Xiao Yuan also smiled heartily.

"If you can make Brother Xiao's friend, it's worth the trip today, since you are a friend, then Brother Xiao has anything useful in the future, but you must inform him."

"Definitely, definitely, Brother Zhong is the same." Xiao Yuan also said with a smile.

When they met for the first time, the two felt like they were old at first sight, but whether they were really friends remains to be considered in the future.

After the two separated, Xiao Yuan also shook his head secretly, and then rented a carriage and returned to Liucheng.

The Liucheng garrison, all of which were his previous defense of Liucheng's headquarters, most of them were Chen Da's old troops, after a bloody battle, excluding the casualties of the soldiers, the current number is about 6,000.

At present, the soldiers have cut down trees and forests, and are building camps, and soldiers carrying thick logs can be seen everywhere in the barracks.

Xiao Yuan, a low-level officer, has no background and connections, although he has been excluded by the high-level, but after the previous war, his prestige in the headquarters is now beyond doubt.

Seeing him, several halberd soldiers at the door also immediately straightened their waists and greeted: "General! ”

"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded, and then casually inspected the military camp.

Now the camp has not yet been built, it is very simple, and when he returned to the main tent, he also sat behind a few cases, picked up the bamboo slips on the case, and looked through them at will.

Fortunately, he knew all the words of this world, just like Chinese characters.

In the era of male farmers and women weaving, the world was chaotic at that time, and ordinary people were already very satisfied if they could stutter, and nine times out of ten, they were illiterate, and they had no money to read and write.

It's just that here, it doesn't belong to any era, and Xiao Yuan doesn't know the historical process at all, and he doesn't know what will happen later.

Liucheng, will it be the place where he will settle down in the future?

These are unknowns, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, and he wants to know more from the text.
