In the post house, Chen Ziqian received a summons from Zeng Yuanqi, still wearing a martial arts suit, and simply sorted out his appearance and went straight to the Yongan County Government.

Regarding Zeng Yuanqi's interview, Chen Ziqian had already thought of a countermeasure in advance.

In fact, there is no need to think too complicated, he is just a fledgling boy, and he just won a few battles by chance, and a superior like Zeng Yuanqi may not look down on him, just try not to provoke the other party.

What is more troublesome now is that Zeng Yuanqi met him in the mansion, this is to prepare for him to give him a dismount?

Moreover, Zeng Yuanqi is an official and he is a citizen, according to the number of etiquette, you have to bow down when you should kneel, otherwise you will be detained for a crime of disrespect.

Chen Ziqian was not panicked, Zeng Yuan chose to meet him in the government, indicating that he still had a certain recognition of his ability or fame, which was more conducive to him seeking an official position.

Came to the outside of the palace in order, and entered the yamen smoothly under the guidance of a soldier in armor.

Walking on the bluestone paved ground, you can look up and see the majestic mansion in front of you.

Chen Ziqian waited outside for a moment, and was soon summoned inside.

Calmly stepping on the steps, as soon as he arrived at the door, Chen Ziqian was startled.

This is special, it's just a meeting, do you want to put up such a big battle?

There were more than a dozen civil and military generals standing on both sides of the hall, and dozens of pairs of eyes brushed their focus together, and this momentum alone made people breathless.

Chen Ziqian coughed dryly, ready to stabilize his mind, but soon gave up and entered the lobby tremblingly.

The civil and military officials in it looked at him with aggressive eyes, and Zeng Yuanqi, who was in a green robe in a brocade robe in the hall, was also sitting majestically, with a playful expression on his face.

Chen Ziqian walked to the front of the high hall and knelt down respectfully and said, "Wuling Chen Ziqian, meet Ming Gong!" ”

"Okay, get up!" Zeng Yuanqi waved his hand, looked at Chen Ziqian and slowly got up and said: "Well, the appearance is dignified, there is indeed a bit of Chen Yue's charm, I have also been in contact with Ling Zun a few times, dignified and heroic, both civil and military, but unfortunately first defeated by Yangqian, and then tragically assassinated by traitors, Wuling Chen has one less handsome man since then, and I am one less pillar stone in Yong'an County." ”

Zhao Wengong stood up and arched his hand: "General Chen Xiao's capture of Zhilin County can also be regarded as revenge for killing his father, the lord does not need to mind, Wuling Chen's talents are numerous, General Chen Xiao bravely rejected tens of thousands of rebels in Zhilin County, it can be said that he became famous in World War I, and he came to visit today, and he must have a deep meaning." ”

Zeng Yuanqi nodded, looked at Chen Ziqian and asked, "What do you mean by here?" ”

Chen Ziqian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Yu Ming Gong, since he was a child, he followed his father to learn the art of war, he led 800 foot soldiers to capture Zhilin County, and afterwards he was also in charge of the affairs of Zhilin County, although he is not talented, but he also has a slight reputation, and now the rebels have invaded Ningzhou in a big way, and may soon hit the territory of Tongzhou, I am inseparable from the rebels, and I have come to Ming Gong, hoping that Ming Gong will take him in, and he will fight to the death with the rebels in the future." ”

Chen Ziqian deliberately put on a show, and all the civil and military people in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, obviously thinking that he was a little too pretentious.

"Yes!" Zeng Yuanqi seems to have expected this for a long time, after all, a young man has ambitions, and it is not normal to be arrogant.

Nodding with a smile on his face, Zeng Yuanqi glanced at Zhao Wengong.

Zhao Wengong said: "General Chen Xiao Yu Zhilin bravely rejected tens of thousands of rebels and became famous in the first battle, he is really a young hero, but as far as I know, you have defeated the rebels many times, captured countless weapons and baggage, you could have carried these materials to help Taibei County Taishou, why did you finally leave all the resources to the rebels and sit back and watch Taibei County perish?" ”

"This ......" Chen Ziqian had already guessed that this trip would have many twists and turns, and he was flustered on the surface, but he was stable in his heart, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Wengong, and immediately took in all his attributes.

General: Zhao Wengong, physical strength: 97

Affiliation: Yong'an County, Loyalty: 85, Official Position: Yong'an Changshi

Brawn: 68, Intelligence: 89

Commander-in-chief: 72, political: 90

Stunts: Culture LV7, Civil Affairs LV7, Business LV6, Eloquence LV5, Knowing People LV3, Strategy LV4, Patrol LV3, Bewitchment LV2

Personal information: Tongzhou Taihua, 42 years old, stoic and cunning.

Zhao Wengong didn't know that his old bottom was seen through, and he sneered: "General Chen Xiao Wen Taowu has a strategic insight into the opportunity, and knows that the danger of Taibei County lies in the rebels' multi-way encirclement, you can defeat the rebels repeatedly, and you don't even understand such a simple strategic intention, but you deliberately left strategic materials, which led to the aggravation of the defeat of Taibei County, and Taishou led the neck to kill himself, so act, but you said that you and the rebels are incompatible, I don't think it maybe?" ”

"I ......" Chen Ziqian looked embarrassed, as if someone had pierced his mind, and he was a little confused.

Zhao Wengong suddenly laughed again: "General Chen Xiao is eloquent and strategic, knowing that Taibei County cannot be defended for a long time, so after he became famous in the world, he decisively gave up Zhilin County, and helped the rebels, so that the rebels were able to successfully capture Taibei County, completely occupy the land of the four northern states, and then plot against the Central Plains, resulting in chaos in the world." ”

Zhao Wengong smiled maliciously and said: "General Chen Xiao's ambition is not small, if he can do this, it seems that he is planning to develop, so that he can compete with the world's heroes in the Central Plains in the future?" ”

"I, I, I, this and this, this ......" Chen Ziqian took a deep breath and stammered and explained: "My lord is too high, in fact, I really didn't think so much at that time, Zhilin County only has more than 2,000 troops, and the rebels are divided into troops and attack at the same time in the southeast and south, I just feel that Zhilin County can't stop it, so I have no choice but to abandon the city and flee." ”

"Impossible!" Zhao Wengong sternly vetoed: "At that time, you had the opportunity to transfer materials and defect to Taishou, but you were unwilling to do so, obviously with ulterior motives." ”

"I, I didn't." Chen Ziqian looked panicked, and the six gods and no owners glanced at everyone in the field, looking like a frightened little animal, and finally looked at the main seat with a distressed expression.

Zeng Yuanqi didn't say a word, just watched Zhao Wengong aggressively persecute Chen Ziqian.

To be honest, he didn't think that Chen Ziqian could pose much of a threat to him, but just after listening to Zhao Wengong's analysis, he really chuckled in his heart, and looked at Chen Ziqian's eyes with murderous intent.

It's just that after some rebuttal, when he saw Chen Ziqian, who was a little frightened, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous in his heart.

Zhao Wengong was the first civil servant and strategist under him, and with his extraordinary intelligence and ability, it is understandable that he has analyzed the battle situation layer by layer to this extent.

But Chen Ziqian is only a fourteen-year-old boy, and he doesn't even have an official position, and it is said that Yangqian County was defeated for the first time in the barracks.

How could such an immature young man be as far-sighted as Zhao Wengong said?

"Okay, okay, Wen Gong, you step back first." Zeng Yuanqi waved away Zhao Wengong, looked at Chen Ziqian with a kind face and said: "Don't care, Wengong is just talking about things, after all, you did resist tens of thousands of rebels in Zhilin County with a disadvantage, I am very curious, how did you do it at that time?" ”

"Ming Gong saw clearly, at that time, I ...... me, I " Chen Ziqian was a little in a hurry, and finally simply knelt on the ground, looking like he was about to be scared and crying: "In fact, my father was killed at that time, and it was my father's old department who deliberately pushed me in front of people in order to prevent the team from falling apart, and I also became the leader in ignorance, and what bravely resisted tens of thousands of rebels, in fact, it was also the credit of others......"

Chen Ziqian showed Oscar-winning acting skills and decisively put all the credit on Yang Zhiying.

Obviously, Zeng Yuanqi was deliberately testing him, if he showed his ambitious side, it would be difficult to say whether he would be able to get out of this door today.

And from the beginning, he didn't come to ask for any high-ranking officials, and he didn't even want to stay under Zeng Yuanqi's account to serve, and he deliberately left a way back when he opened his mouth before, saying that he had experience in managing the county, and the purpose was to lay the foundation, so that Zeng Yuanqi could casually throw an official and a half position to him.

It is also thanks to Zhao Wengong's hard work and cooperation, which just gave him the opportunity to show his acting skills.

"I see, this Yang Zhiying is a talent." Zeng Yuanqi understood after listening to the causes and consequences of Chen Ziqian's fabrication, it turned out that it was not that Chen Ziqian had many skills, but that there happened to be a capable general under his command to give advice.

Chen Ziqian also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a sad face: "It's a pity that in the end, County Lieutenant Yang couldn't escape with me, otherwise he would have served Ming Gong with me at the moment." ”

"No matter what, since you have returned to your hometown safely, and you have come to take refuge in me, for the sake of Brother Chen Yue and your Chen family's face, I will allow you to be an official and a half-job." Zeng Yuanqi didn't bother to investigate, thought for a while and said: "The people's livelihood in Anyi County has been unfavorable these years, and I heard that you have been focusing on the people's livelihood during the Zhilin period, and the results are not bad, so I will appoint you to Anyi County as a county magistrate." ”

"Thank you Ming Gong!" Chen Ziqian looked happy and immediately bowed down to thank him.

Zeng Yuanqi nodded, and explained a few more words about the local situation, and then waved Chen Ziqian away.

After Chen Ziqian left, Zhao Wengong hurriedly stood up and praised: "The lord is wise, this son has become famous recently, although it is the work of others, but few people in the world know about it, if he can take it under his command, he will definitely be able to recruit more capable ministers and famous generals in the future." ”

"Hahahaha...... That's why I asked him to take up his post in Anyi County. Zeng Yuanqi likes to be touted by a capable person like Zhao Wengong, which makes him feel more wise and martial.

Zhao Wengong said with hidden dangers in his heart: "It's just that my subordinates are worried that what this son just said is a lie......

"Impossible, this son's qualifications are mediocre, he was scared to almost pee his pants in a few words, what big deal can he do? Besides, Anyi County has been barren for many years, there are no three out of ten household registrations, and bandits are rampant, what can he do if he is ambitious? ”

"That's what the lord said!" After hearing this, Zhao Wengong also felt that it was such a reason, but he was always worried about Chen Ziqian in his heart.
