It is in the house of the night

"The mandate of heaven is the nature, the spontaneity is the Tao, and the cultivation of the Tao is the teaching. ”

···

"The way of a gentleman is dark and the day is open, and the way of the villain is the day of death. The way of a gentleman: light and never tired, simple and literate, gentle and reasonable, know the distance and near, know the wind from the self, know the subtlety, can be with virtue...

The lights in Lu Fan's mansion have been turned off, only Lu Fan's bedroom is brightly lit, Lu Fan is a little restless, and he took his hand to watch.

The next day, Lu Fan led the team to patrol the city gate, and the people in the city did not have any actual changes, the only thing that changed was that these subordinates guarding the city gate became in awe of their young captain.

After all, there are legendary innate masters in his team, and those characters in the mouths of those who can only listen to stories in the teahouse on weekdays can actually see them with their own eyes.

I all felt that there was actually one of the teams guarding the city, a congenital master, and that was the number one master in the entire empire.

To the small one, his team defending the city is the best of the four city gates.

To the big inside, my team is better than the Praetorian Guard, and the captain of the Forbidden Army team is a congenital master?

"Brother Lu, last night I saw that your innate true qi can already break out of your body, it must not be the realm of the early stage of innate nature, right?" Huo Qi said with a slight envy and respect

"Brother Huo Qi, it's too famous, it's just that you have just broken through the early stage of the innate realm," Lu Fan said modestly

Although Huo Qi is only hovering at the threshold of the acquired realm, he will not take the modest words seriously, the two chatted without a word, and the time of the day passed in this way, the sun set in the west, the city gate was closed, leaving a few people who stayed at the city gate at night, and returned to the mansion.

A few days have passed, except for the first day, when Lu Fan was relatively leisurely, the rest of the time made Lu Fan tired of coping.

That night, Lu Fan's act of descending as a celestial man still spread, and after word of mouth, it attracted many people to come and see what the legendary innate master looked like.

Among them, there are many young girls who are pregnant with spring, and when they saw Lu Fan's appearance, some of them boldly even stepped forward to ask Lu Fan's age.

After all, the rumored masters in the innate realm are all white, and they look like fairy wind bones.

On the fifth day, all those who defended the city were rewarded by the officials and rewarded by the imperial court, and at the same time recorded as merit.

Later, Hua Kun also came to see Lu Fan, and at the same time secretly expressed Wuhou's appreciation for Lu Fan and his love for talent.

The war army also wrote a letter to Lu Fan to congratulate Lu Fan.

Even once, Zai Fu stopped his car to ride when he passed by the city gate, and asked a few words about whether Lu Fan was on duty.

After that, people kept coming to congratulate Lu Fan, and even more, they wanted to give their daughters to Lu Fan, of course, they were all small magnates, they were betting on Lu Fan's possible prosperity, as for those real magnates who disdained this, they gave birth to such an olive branch to Lu Fan, a little official who was promoted to the bucket.

The sea of red dust and bitterness is boundless, and the officialdom and politics are endless. Out of the dust and embark on a journey, nine days and ten places to find immortals.

"Today there are finally fewer people, and I don't see my superiors or subordinates to come to condole on weekdays, but now they are all here, but I don't see any actual points," Huo Qi muttered dissatisfiedly

"Haven't you already been rewarded, we are not satisfied, and the merits given to us by the officials have been recorded," Lu Fan comforted with a smile.

"I feel unworthy for you, it must be the Silver Armor Guard's lie about the credit, otherwise there will not only be a verbal reward, but a small reward. Huo Qi said dissatisfied

"After all, I'm just a newcomer to the imperial bureaucracy, and I don't have enough qualifications, so it's rare to have a reward. Lu Fan didn't know if he was saying it to Huo Qi or comforting himself.

The sun was shining, but the weather was unusually cold, the north wind was roaring, dry and cold, and often rolling up the dust on the ground.

Lu Fan is wearing soft armor, wearing an ordinary business knife at his waist, like a sword and a knife, but it is extremely convenient to carry around, although the soft armor is a little hard, it is not uncomfortable to wear on the body, but the corners of the soft armor are sewn on the edge by Chunyun wrapped in cotton wool in red cloth, which looks particularly conspicuous, I hope that the young master of my family will be more comfortable to wear, but he is nicknamed Captain Red Armor.

From time to time, some people came to see the handsome young captain of the Red Armor.

"Captain Red Armor, don't come to greet this county lord yet. The county lord's voice sounded behind Lu Fan.

This is the first time that the county lord came to find Lu Fan after Lu Fan defended the city, and originally thought that the county lord might be angry with himself, but he would not come to find him, but then he did not look for himself.

Now that I came to find myself, I must have heard about myself.

Lu Fan thought about what the county lord would be looking for him, so he said, "The county lord is going to play outside the city today?"

"Why do you call me the county lord, forget to call me Gongzi in front of outsiders!" the county lord said angrily

"It's my mistake, I hope the son will forgive me," Lu Fan said with a smile

"How can you gallop in the officialdom in the future, if you want to make a difference, remember to do things, you must not leave a handle when you speak, nor can you make people unhappy, you must weigh the pros and cons of everything" The county lord said angrily

"If the county lord mentions something for me in everything, everything will definitely go well" Lu Fan tried his best to flatter the county lord without face

"I didn't expect you, an honest boy, to make a fuss," the county lord smiled happily

"Why am I slapping the county lord's ass, what I said is the truth, didn't the county lord mention his subordinates just now?!" Lu Fan laughed again

The county lord also noticed the seemingly unintentional 'subordinate' in Lu Fan's mouth, and said casually: "Although there is a county lord in Heavenly City, if you are transferred to other places in the future, this county lord just wants to protect you, and he is also powerless, so you still have to be careful everywhere..."

After hearing the county lord say a casual sentence, he walked towards the lively street on the side, Lu Lufan had an idea, and said clearly: "County lord, let your subordinates accompany you." Huo Qi, you are here to watch with your brother, and I will go around to the side" Seeing that Huo Qi nodded in agreement, he accompanied the county lord to go together.

"Your kid is still a squad leader, so you dare to leave your post without permission, if you are in charge of the nine gates, it won't turn the sky upside down..."

After a while, Lu Fan asked softly: "The county lord just said that outside the Heavenly City, could it be that the county lord's subordinates are going to serve in the local area?", Lu Fan asked tentatively.

Lu Fan's heart has always wanted to leave Tiancheng and take up a local post, in the center of power in Tiancheng, it is too difficult to climb up, even if there is a backstage, you have to boil up qualifications and merits, even if the merits and qualifications are enough, the official position that has not climbed up is still waiting.

Therefore, being transferred to the imperial capital is the best way to ascend. Moreover, the local officials below the fourth rank are all promoted by the local feudal officials, and then go to the imperial court to take a form, on the one hand, it gives the local feudal officials a certain right to appoint and dismiss, and on the other hand, it also shows the trust in the officials to know people and make good use of them.

Lu Fan believes that when he arrives at the place, if he is in the region, he can enter the army with his own strength, he will definitely be...

Just after Lu Fan was leaving the imperial capital with lust, how, how... The county lord's voice sounded in his ears: "I'm just a county lord, and you are not my government soldier, don't say this kind of 'subordinate' again in the future, so as not to give people a handle, I am useless, but you may have a little more trouble" The county lord said softly to Lu Fan

Lu Fan nodded and said, "The subordinates understand", but this time the county lord did not say anything to stop it, and then said: "It is difficult for you to move up in the imperial capital now, even if you can be promoted after a long time, but it is only a position without real power, so I hope you can go to the local place to serve, so that you can move quickly." Lu Fan also felt that he could have his own foundation in the place, and his words would have weight in the future.

"The county lord wants his subordinates... Where am I going?" asked Lu Fan

"Last time, I told you that the four princes have a good impression of you, the emperor ordered four princes to supervise the country, and the four princes are the governors of the southwest states and counties, so you are ready, you may be transferred to the southwest territory" The county lord watched the people coming and going on the street, and said gently.

"Xie County Lord Xie," Lu Fan said in a low voice

"Don't thank the county lord, remember that I'm just a county lord... This county lord has gone shopping, you go on patrol" After speaking, the county lord patted Lu Fan's shoulder, sighed and left.

Looking at the figure of the monarch leaving, I felt that she was no longer the former county lord, if it wasn't for the daughter, it would be another great figure in the empire, and if it was in troubled times, it would be another hero.
