Liu Ximing climbed up the watchtower and saw the Baoning guards and horses withdrawing, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he sat on the ground, his whole body was a little weak, today is really too exciting, and the little heart of the Lun family can't stand it.

However, it is obviously not the time to rest now, he hurriedly went downstairs, and led everyone to kneel down to worship Liu Jianhou and said: "Liu Ximing, a grass farmer in Nanchong County, Shunqing Prefecture, led the people of the village to visit Liu Yushi. ”

"Hehehe, please get up quickly, it's thanks to your village's rescue, otherwise all three of my master and servant will die here, where is there any slackness."

Liu Ximing was helped up by Liu Jianhou, and when he heard him say this, he immediately replied: "Pointing to the fallacy, where is Xiaomin and others who saved Yushi, it is clear that Liu Yushi led us to repel the thieves, if it weren't for Yushi's command, I would only be afraid of being slaughtered." ”

Even if Comrade Liu saw through the process of reporting his merits last time, for ordinary people who have no meritorious fame, even if they make great contributions, they are just a reward of some silver, so it is better to be a favor and give these merits to Liu Jianhou.

Now what he lacks most in developing his own power is the care of the official, and when the time comes, he will have a short mouth and a soft hand, and he will save a lot of trouble with such a messenger as Liu Jianhou to cover himself.

Liu Jianhou heard Liu Ximing say this, his smiling eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "Lord Liu Zhuang understands the righteousness, and it is also a great merit to cooperate with the official army to suppress thieves, and this official will make it clear to the court." ”

"Where do you dare to call the owner, just call the villain's name."

"Okay, then the official will call you Ximing."

Seeing that the relationship was set, and the other party was so knowledgeable, the two old foxes, one big and one small, glanced at each other, and suddenly felt a little cordial.

Liu Ximing had already settled the prisoners before, but now that Bao Ningwei had retreated, there was nothing big in the village, he saw that Liu Jianhou seemed to have something to say, so he quickly arranged for Yu Yongkai and Chen Yiding and others to be responsible for dealing with the aftermath, and he accompanied Liu Jianhou to the big house.

"Xi Ming, I see that your department is quite familiar with the method of battle formation, if there is chaos today, have you ever thought of serving the country?"

Liu Ximing's eyelids jumped, and his heart touched it, hehe, you bad old man seems to want to do something, as soon as he takes office, he will look for Austrian aid, do you have to use a knife against local forces?

Of course, this is just Liu Ximing's own speculation, according to his understanding, this patrol should be interested in the combat power of his troops, so he wants to fool himself into joining the army, and he will definitely have to find a backer at that time, is there anything more suitable than him at that time?

The strategy of the conversation is not to be led by others, Liu Ximing touched the sleeve of his left hand, smoothed the folds on it, and said in a casual tone: "It's just a matter of rural villagers, where can they be counted as knowing the battle array." Besides, my family has been scholarly for generations, and my father was also a member of the county, so if you want to serve the country, you will naturally become an official through the imperial examination. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ximing saw that Liu Jianhou's face was as usual, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, so he had to say again: "Of course, if the imperial history has any dispatch, as long as it is within the reach of the little man, he must wait for orders." ”

Liu Jianhou smiled and nodded: "This is very good, there is nothing big at the moment, you can tell me about the last time the thieves attacked." ”

Liu Jianhou took Liu Ximing and Liu Xuan and the other three to a tree, and when he saw a few big stones on the ground, he beckoned Liu Ximing to sit down and talk.

Liu Ximing was a little uncertain in his heart, this guy really came here for the last time, but why, this kind of thing should be just a trivial matter for them bigwigs, right?

The thought in his mind turned around, and he cautiously tentatively said: "Yu Yushi, the last time the thieves attacked, Zhang Licheng and Zhang Gong of this government should have an official document to report, and there should be a detailed explanation if you want to come, I don't know ......."

"Hmph, Zhang Licheng reported in the official document, when the thieves crossed the border, it was all up to him to strategize, not to be surprised, and sent Nanchong County Cheng Xie Chengzhou and the soldiers and horses in the house to take the initiative to attack, and the thieves were not sent out, at that time, the righteous people in the township were inspired by the righteousness of the officials and the army, and there were countless people attached to the tail, so the thieves were broken in the first battle, and during the period, there were more weak crown young people Liu Xi's life, who was not chaotic in danger, and saved the teacher, and it was passed on as a beautiful talk ......for a while."

This, this, Liu Ximing was dumbfounded, knowing that you bastards are shameless, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless, according to Zhang Licheng's statement, the credit for defeating the thieves that day was all his.

No wonder he was so happy when he said that he was exempted from paying taxes on Liu Ximing's family, it turned out that he had already made a small calculation.

However, Liu Ximing turned his head and thought about it, but he also felt that Zhang Licheng was in line with human nature by doing this, in Zhang Licheng's eyes, Liu Ximing was just a white body with no merit, where did he know what the government reported was, and when the time came, he would just reward some money.

Of course, that's what happened, but when it really happened to him, Liu Ximing was still a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't know what kind of attitude this inspector had in the imperial history, and there were many kinds of truth!

Seeing that Liu Ximing was a little hesitant, Liu Jianhou said leisurely: "Zhang Licheng has been released for several years, and now his party in the DPRK and China is seeking to recall him to Beijing to take up his post, and this matter is not something that everyone is happy to see. ”

Banana, you are a bala, Liu Ximing suddenly realized in his heart, you fucking said it earlier, it scared people to be careful, it turned out to be a political struggle, it seems that this Liu Jianhou should be sent by someone who doesn't want Zhang Licheng to return to Beijing, no wonder last time Xie Chengzhou was still wondering why he didn't move after so long.

"Hehe, Liu Gong inquired, how dare the villain not tell the truth, this matter is like this......"

Liu Ximing listened to Liu Jianhou confess to himself, let go of his worries, and hurriedly told the truth about the events of the day, of course, the protagonist of the story this time is himself.

Damn, this was originally done by myself, Liu Ximing shook his head fiercely.

“…… The above is the truth of that day, this matter is known to everyone in my village, and the imperial history will know it when it is checked. ”

"Hahaha, in this way, you are really a young hero, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, bullying superiors and subordinates, are really hateful!"

Liu Ximing hurriedly pretended to be ashamed, scratched his head and excused himself: "How dare you be called this title, it all depends on the imperial history." ”

Liu Jianhou learned the details of the incident, and he was sure of resisting Zhang Licheng's return to Beijing, and his mood was relaxed at this time, pulling Liu Ximing to talk about today's thieves.

After a while, Yu Yongkai came over to report: "Tell Yushi and Second Brother that the battlefield inventory has been completed." ”

"Oh, how's it going?"

Liu Jianhou's heart moved, Liu Ximing gave him the merit of commanding, and now of course he is a little concerned, after all, not only Zhang Licheng wants to return to Beijing, but he also wants to make meritorious service as soon as possible.

"In today's battle with the thieves, a total of 781 thieves were killed and 153 were captured."

Yu Yongkai was also shrewd enough, he only reported the thieves identified from the captives, as for the remaining more than 1,000 people, he didn't mention it, and there were only more than 300 thieves who were really killed by Long Xiangqu, and most of the rest were trampled on each other when they retreated, and they were all counted by him in the number of enemies killed by his own side at this time.

Liu Xuanzheng was standing aside to guard, and when he heard such a number popping out of Yu Yongkai's mouth, he was shocked and said: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, the master has just taken office, and he has made such a great achievement, and he is not far from being promoted." ”

Liu Jianhou glanced at Liu Ximing with a little weakness, and saw that his face had not changed, so he answered with a smile: "Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, this has achieved such results, and this official will play truthfully to the imperial court." ”

"Phew, beast"

Liu Ximing and Yu Yongkai glanced at each other, and the two scolded in their minds.

"Hahaha, Ximing, there will be a county exam next year, do you plan to take the exam?" After picking up a great credit in vain, Liu Jianhou felt like he had eaten honey, and immediately pulled Liu Ximing with an affectionate face and asked.

"Don't hide the imperial history, I have this idea in my later life, and my teacher has already said that he will vouch for me."

"Okay, good, this official thinks that this court reward is nothing more than some money and food, if you can get the middle talent, it is convenient to reward."

Liu Xi's mind is turning, he doesn't have any needs, but the Long Xiang team is about to exceed 500 people at the moment, and it is best to find an official identity as a cover, otherwise it will always be easy to be held by others as a handle.

"Fang Cai Liu Gong persuaded me to lead the troops to join the army, although the late life is determined to be famous, but it is also the responsibility of the scholars to defend Sang Ziben, if it is convenient for Liu Gong, because of this merit, the late life has the courage to ask Liu Gong to ask this to be located in Yongkai for a patrol position, one can serve the country, and the other is convenient for Liu Gong to send."

Liu Xi ordered to use the law of fooling, and the inspection was an armed force under the jurisdiction of the county yamen, and the official position was only from the nine grades, so Liu Jianhou had a way to solve it.

In these years, the inspection is not necessarily a good errand, Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang forced him to go home, not only the imperial court soldiers and horses he didn't want to raise, but even the officials he wanted to eat the best grass, not to mention the soldiers under the inspection.

In the past, most of these soldiers were filled by people who served in the county, but now the soldiers are in chaos, and the service is self-done, who is still willing to work, and the inspection often has to make up for the number of people out of their own pockets, so there are vacancies in the inspection in various places.

Liu Jianhou thought about it in his heart and felt that this was a good way, the inspection could basically be attributed to the military attaché, that is, a matter of one sentence, just to return this favor.

"Hahaha, it's rare that you have the heart to serve the country, I'll respond to this matter first, and I'll see it after the report."
