After seeing the horse, Zhang Dujian introduced Liu Yong to Lord Zhizhou.

Lord Zhizhou looked at Liu Yong with a smile and said, "You don't need to introduce it. His name is Liu Yong, right? ”

Zhang Dujian was stunned and asked, "What?" Do you know Brother Liu? After speaking, he looked at Liu Yong again, and Liu Yongzheng was smiling.

"This official once promoted him to the court, how can he not know him?" Lord Zhizhou looked at Liu Yong, and there was some kindness in his eyes.

Zhang Dujian didn't understand, what was promoted or not, could it be that Liu Yong had committed a crime, or went to the state government to file a complaint?

Seeing the blindfold on Zhang Dujian's face, Lord Zhizhou ignored it and said directly to Liu Yong: "Liu Yong." ”

"The villain is here." Liu Yong hurriedly gave a deep salute.

"This time, you bought so many war horses for the state capital, you have made a great contribution." Lord Zhizhou said.

"Where, the villain is just doing his best." Liu Yong said modestly.

"Hehe, your modest efforts have solved the coal burning urgency of the state capital!" What Lord Zhizhou said was very sincere.

"It is an honor for the villain to be able to serve the adult." Liu Yong arched his hand again.

"Huh?" Lord Zhizhou shook his hand and said, "You're not serving me, you're serving the court." Now the war in the north has stretched for thousands of miles, and there is a shortage of war horses. The more than 400 war horses you bought were sent to the front line, which was a great boost to the army. When the envoy arrives, I will show him your credit. ”

"The villain doesn't dare to be." Liu Yonggong said.

"Liu Yong, I saw you unusual in the hall that day. You could have allowed the Zheng brothers to be tortured that day, but you forgave them. It can be seen that you are still very broad-minded as a young man. I just like young people like you. Lord Zhizhou said, and smiled at Zhang Dujian and Zhao Tongju, and said with a smile: "You two don't know, the biggest ruffian in our city called Brother Hualang has been successfully transformed into a good young man by Liu Yong." The bandit of Dwarf Tree Mountain more than three months ago was taken down by Brother Hua Lang who led Wu Dutou in one fell swoop. ”

The two nodded frequently.

Liu Yongyi frowned, Fang remembered that incident, so he said: "That time, I heard Wu Dutou say that he was going to exterminate the bandits. I asked Brother Hua Lang to follow and help. He was familiar with the topography. At the same time, it is also a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Speaking of which, it was still Lord Zhizhou, who planned your strategy, so that Wu Dutou wiped out that gang of bandits in one fell swoop. ”

"Huh." Lord Zhizhou laughed after hearing this, and said secretly in his heart: "Liu Yong, this young man is indeed good, he speaks decently, and he is not greedy and arrogant. It's a pity that he's not a scholar. Otherwise, it will be a pillar of the imperial court. ”

He looked at Liu Yong with satisfaction, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Liu Yong and his son are about the same age, and they are both outstanding and promising young people. His son has now entered the Beijing Palace Examination, and this time of the next year will be the time for the title of the gold list.

"Colleagues, the sixth day of the first month of this month, that is, the day after tomorrow, is the sixteenth birthday of the little girl, and this twenty-eight year can be regarded as an adult. The official intends to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the little girl, which can be regarded as a birthday banquet. Please come and visit us. Lord Zhizhou said.

"It's Ling Yan's birthday, so I'll definitely be there."

Zhang Dujian and Zhao Tongju agreed.

But Liu Yong didn't agree, this time his status was low, and secondly, at the birthday banquet of his daughter, he was not a relative, and he was still of the same age. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go.

Just thinking about it, Lord Zhizhou said, "Liu Yong, you will come when the time comes!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yong was stunned.

"What? Don't you give face to the official? Seeing Liu Yong's hesitation, Lord Zhizhou deliberately said with a cold face.

"Oh, no, how dare the villain, the villain will go to congratulate Ling Yan on her birthday the day after tomorrow." Liu Yong hurriedly arched his hand.

Lord Zhizhou laughed and said, "That's right." But there is one thing, you are not allowed to bring gifts, otherwise the official will not let you in. ”

Zhao Tongju smiled and said: "Lord Zhizhou has always been honest, and no one knows about the big and small officials in Meizhou City, and that one doesn't know." ”

"It's good to know. At that time, we also took the opportunity to celebrate the birthday of the little girl, and also celebrated that we had successfully completed the tasks of the imperial court. I only hope that the soldiers at the border pass can fight bravely to kill the enemy and repel the invasion of the gold thieves. After speaking, Lord Zhizhou raised his eyes and looked at the north, his face gloomy.

Zhao Tongju, together with Zhang Dujian and all the officials, followed the gaze of Lord Zhizhou. Some onlookers also quieted down at this time. Each of them thinks the same thing in their hearts as Lord Zhizhou.

……

The horses were taken over by the state capital, and Liu Yong immediately felt relaxed. He saw Lin Hualang, Lin Hualang had always been nearby, and he wanted to come over, but he didn't dare to come over when he saw that the three highest governors of the state capital were here. A bastard like him is the most afraid of seeing officials.

When Lord Zhizhou and the others left, he squeezed out of the crowd and found Liu Yong.

"Brother, I'm convinced of you." Lin Hualang said with a smile, followed by Wang Xiao and the other four. also admired Liu Yong.

"Big brother, our brothers will follow you in the future. Don't you want us. Zhao Si'er said with a smile.

"Am I that old again?" Liu Yong smiled, "Haha, don't worry, as long as you believe in me Liu Yong, just follow me." He said it very boldly. It was as if the four men had suddenly come out of the cellar and had finally seen the joy of heaven.

"Brother Hualang, you go to the banquet building and set a few tables of banquets for me, and I will entertain everyone tonight." Liu Yong said with a smile.

"Hey, big brother, is it also us?" Wang Xiao asked with a smile on his back.

"Of course, there are also the two dozen or so people who came back, all of them called me." Liu Yong said with a smile.

Lin Hualang counted the number of people and asked, "Who else?" ”

"And your father, your mother, your sister." Liu Yong said with a smile.

"What? And my dad? He and I are incompatible. Lin Hualang shouted.

"I don't want the two of you to have a table." Liu Yong patted Lin Hualang on the shoulder.

"Okay then." Lin Hualang had a sad face.

"Also, call Zheng Sange and Li Dongshan as well." Liu Yong admonished again.

"Hmm."

"Okay, let's go together. I have other things to do. After Liu Yong finished speaking, Lin Hualang went happily with his four subordinates.

Then, Liu Yong looked at Su Erniang, who was standing far away. When Liu Yong handed over the horses to the three officials, she was more than ten meters away from Liu Yong, and her eyes never left him for a moment. She is protecting Liu Yong.

She saw Liu Yong looking over, smiled, and walked slowly towards Liu Yong.

Liu Yong took a few steps.

"Sister Su, I've tired you." Liu Yong said softly.

"Lang Jun." Su Erniang smiled, "Can I call you that?" ”

"Sister, whatever." Liu Yong laughed.

"In the future, Lang Jun's comfort will all be with me Su Erniang. Would you like to? Su Erniang put away her smile and asked seriously.

Liu Yong hesitated for a moment and said, "The junior brother is willing." ”
