The next day, Jiang Wei instructed the two brothers Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu to drive the old horses in the family and run in with the newly built carriage first. He rode to the office on horseback.

He was the first to arrive that day. There was no one around, so he sat in the empty duty room, looked at the Yongliang marching map, and carefully deduced the route to the south.

Previously, he had taken the opportunity of inspecting the Qiang captives to do a lot of investigation. In the name of torture, he found out the details of the place names, topography and other details in Wudu County one by one. His duty was to join the military, and he asked a few more questions during the torture, but he did not attract attention at all.

After checking these messages with his established southbound route, he was already determined.

After a short time, the relatives around Taishou came in with the report, saying that Taishou was invited. Jiang Wei then got up and went with him to meet Taishou Ma Zun.

Just as he was about to step into the duty room of the Taishou, the pro-follower whispered: "I really want to congratulate Jiang Zhong this time... No, it's Jiang Bingcao, and I hope to take care of it in the future. After that, he made a deep sigh.

When Jiang Wei heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of Taishou's summons, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and secretly said: "This east wind is finally here!" ”

He entered the room and bowed down to see Taishou Ma Zun. Ma Zun unexpectedly got up to greet him, changed his cold meaning in the past, held Jiang Wei's hand, and said a few words of greeting, before he said: "The appointment of Boyo in the state was sent to Ben Taishou last night. Invite Boyo to come today, just to convey it on your behalf, so let's get started. ”

Jiang Wei agreed, and then hugged his fists and bowed.

Ma Zun unfolded a bamboo slip in his hand, cleared his throat, and read in a deep voice: "On August 29, the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, the Yongzhou Thorn Shi ordered Tianshui County to guard Ma Zunpi and said: Today is turbulent, Hu Rong is not quiet...... There is Jiang Wei, the son of a good family in Tianshui Ji County, who is the middle of the county, participates in the military of the county, is a descendant of the general, is both civil and military, Hui Cong is sensitive, and has meritorious service in quelling the chaos, and he is engaged in the ...... of the soldiers of the Yongzhou Assassin Mansion."

The bamboo slips of the Han Dynasty are concise and concise, and this document is only one hundred and two crosses, and Ma Zun has read it in one breath. Then he turned around and took out a one-inch square copper seal from the desk and handed it to Jiang Wei along with the documents.

Jiang Wei took it with both hands, bowed down and thanked him, and said, "Thanks to Taishou cultivation." ”

Ma Zun helped Jiang Wei up with a smile and said, "It seems that a young talent like Boyo, Zhang Tingshi values it the most." A few days ago, he revised a book to me, saying that the imperial court has already used force against the four counties of Hexi, and now the state is in need of people who are familiar with the story of Xiliang to praise the military aircraft. Although Boyo is not a weak crown, he has been in the side for a long time, and this time he is a hero. I hope that Uncle will make an appointment to do things, don't live up to the expectations of Zhang Tingshi and his own officials. ”

Jiang Wei saw that Ma Zun opened and closed his mouth, and he did not leave Zhang Tingshi, and knew in his heart that this person must be Zhang Ji's supporter. This time, Zhang Ji and Guo Huai competed to win, and Ma Zun stood on Zhang Tingshi's side, thinking that he was meritorious, and his face was good.

Jiang Wei said a few polite words in his mouth, and seeing that Ma Zun was in a good mood, his eyebrows moved, and he took the opportunity to say: "Lord Meng Tingshi takes a fancy to it, and he is really fortunate to have three lives." Belch... It's just that there is still a reluctant request from his subordinates, and he hopes to be too gracious. ”

"Oh? If you have any excuses, Boyo will have to say. ”

"In a few days, Xia Guan wants to return to his hometown with his whole family to worship his ancestors, so he wants to take a few days off from Taishou."

Ma Jun smiled.

Jiang Weiguang went to the banquet, he had already heard about it, but it was because the young man suddenly became determined and didn't know how to restrain himself. This time I took leave and returned to my hometown, just to show off in the clan. He remembered that when he was appointed at the beginning of the year, his mood was also so urgent, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Ma Jun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Wealth does not return to the hometown, like brocade clothes traveling at night." The miscellaneous affairs of the county, Boyo can be handed over to the deputy as much as possible. Well... When your family affairs are over, Boyo can go to Chang'an and thank Zhang Tingshi in person. There is no need to come to the office for these days. ”

Jiang Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, and Taoguang's strategy of raising obscurity really took effect. Ma Zun was sloppy and sloppy, and he was not alert to his own purchase of horses and cars, and now he not only allowed him to take leave and return to his hometown, but also let him go to Chang'an to visit Zhang Ji. In this way, he forced himself to stand in line in advance, in order to curry favor with Assassin Shi Zhang Ji, and for this reason, he even took a few more days off, and simply let his plan be free for several days out of thin air.

Jiang Wei suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and thanked him.

When he returned to the duty room, he called his deputy. After deciding on his plan to go south, he began to prepare for today's events. On the bookshelves of the case, the bamboo slips have been carefully classified, and all the affairs have been clearly explained. It only took half an hour to explain everything he was in charge of.

Everything was over, and Jiang Wei strode towards the outside of the office. When I looked back, I saw that the two handymen, one old and one young, were still sweeping in the yard, and I didn't know what year and month they were going to sweep. But for himself, today is the last day of being in Cao Ying's heart in Han.

When he returned home, Jiang Wei immediately explained today's events to his mother, and said: "Now everything is ready, without further ado, my son intends that the whole family will set off tomorrow." ”

Jiang's mother had a look of relief on her face, and her mouth was kind.

Jiang Wei also asked his mother to support Yang's preparation of dry food and water for the fifth and seventh days tonight, and Jiang's mother also agreed to it one by one. During this period, Jiang Wenlai reported that the old horse at home had adapted to pulling the car, but he could walk slowly. Jiang Wei stayed at home for a while, and when he saw that everyone was busy and everything had been arranged, he nodded secretly.

At this time, many neighbors and neighbors have already learned that they have been appointed to the state of the state to engage in the matter, many people have come to the door with gifts to congratulate, Jiang Wei at the door one by one to entertain the return gifts, if busy until noon, the crowd dispersed.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and remembered Ma Jun from the craftsman camp, who was proficient in the art of mechanical machinery, and was one of the few great talents in the Three Kingdoms era in terms of weapon improvement and the invention of civilian tools. If they agree, they should go with them and take it as an aid. Thinking of this, he galloped towards the craftsman's camp.

Ma Jun got the report yesterday and knew that Jiang Wei would come in the afternoon, and heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, so he trotted to the front of the camp to greet him.

After greeting each other, Ma Jun introduced Jiang Wei into the barracks, and the two sat down in turn. He handed Jiang Wei a bowl of water and said, "Morning Jiang... Brother Jiang Wen has already been here, and... Another pound of silver was sent, and the district... It's just a trivial matter, Jiang Bingcao is heavily rewarded, Jun... Jun thanked the brothers in advance. ”

In the afternoon, he was informed by the junior colonel surnamed Wang that he already knew that Jiang Wei was recruited as a state soldier Cao, so he changed his name to Jiang Bingcao.

Jiang Wei said: "I treat Brother Deheng as a mentor and friend, if Brother Deheng regards Brother Deheng as a friend, he should be commensurate with words." Jiang Bing Cao's three words, don't mention it again. ”

The two are already familiar with each other, so Ma Jun also smiled when he heard this, and said: "In this way, I... Zeto yells at you, uncle... Boyo. ”

Jiang Wei also smiled, and the two arched their hands to each other, which can be regarded as a friendship.

"I have inquired with my colleagues in the Office that the imperial court's reward for the craftsman's camp will be issued in a few days, dare to ask Brother Deheng what his plans are next?" Jiang Wei asked.

Ma Jun said: "Home... There is still a thin ... A few acres of thin fields, this time by the... After receiving the reward, since then... Go home and plow and read. ”

Jiang Wei asked, "What is the ambition of this Deheng brother?" ”

Ma Jun said: "The eldest husband is in... Alive, when... When the meritorious service is the first, all day long in the field... How is my ambition? It's just that... It's just that... Ay. As he spoke, there was a look of helplessness on his face.

Today, the "filial piety and honesty" that recommended talents for the imperial court has been monopolized by the scholars and the gate lords. If a scholar from a poor family is not appreciated by nobles, he can be said to have no way to advance. Ma Jun had already understood the mystery, and only let out a long sigh.

Jiang Wei got up suddenly, and said with a straight face: "I want to ask Brother Deheng to walk with me today!" ”

Ma Jun looked at Jiang Wei with an inquiring meaning.

Jiang Weilang said: "Now the princes are constantly invading, and the people are in trouble. Wei started at the end of the micro, deeply aware of the people's suffering, and sincerely mourned. Therefore, I want to work hard, report to the imperial court, and go down to the head of the people. It's just that this position is humble and light, and it is really difficult to speak alone. As the saying goes: three people can be a many. Looking at the talent of Brother Deheng, ten times better than Wei, Wei Shi admires it, today I will ask Brother Deheng to help me, I hope to work together with my brother to save the difficulties, I don't know if Brother Deheng is willing? With that, he clenched his hands into fists and looked directly at Ma Jun with only a pair of starry eyes.

Coming, coming, Ma Jun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the moment he had been waiting for a long time, but he never dared to confirm it, finally came.

Previously, Jiang Wei was polite and polite, and he already knew that he would have the intention of soliciting.

At that time, all the scholars in the world have the heart of saving the world and helping the people, and they are all interested in fame. Ma Jungeng can't read it, and the same is true. Jiang Wei's character and talent have made him secretly admire, and Jiang Wei has unique insights into technology, and he is even cited by him as a lifelong confidant.

He didn't know that Jiang Wei had the ambition to go south, but Jiang Wei was appointed as a state soldier because of his merits, and his future was limitless. If you can follow this person, you will be able to live up to what you have learned in your life and show your ambitions.

Thinking of this, Ma Jun was already inexplicably excited, hurriedly got up, helped Jiang Wei up, and said, "Both... Since Deberyo values it, when... Be the first to look at the horse! ”

Jiang Wei was overjoyed, and he also held Ma Jun's hands, and said with a smile: "With the help of Brother Deheng, it's really like a tiger with wings!" ”

The two decided to divide the guest and the host, and the intimacy was even more obvious.

Jiang Wei took a sip of water and said: "Tomorrow, I want to take my whole family out of the city, first go to Jiangjiazhuang thirty miles south of the city to worship my ancestors, and then go to the destination, I must not return to Tianshui in the short term." Brother Deheng will clean up tonight and walk with me tomorrow. ”

Ma Jun only said that the destination Jiang Wei said was Chang'an, where his new official position Yongzhou Bingcao was employed, and nodded and agreed immediately. The two made an appointment to meet at the south gate of Jicheng at dawn tomorrow. Jiang Wei immediately said goodbye and left.

Jiang Wei had tried several times before, but he had already noticed that Ma Jun's heart was very eager

But he still kept an eye on this trip and did not inform Ma Jun of the true destination. Just because the stakes were too high to put the lives of his entire family in the hands of others, he decided to wait until he was in a safe place before revealing his plan. If Ma Jun is willing to go along, it is the best, if he is really unwilling, he will not suddenly reveal his whereabouts.
