Qinghe County Decree is a seven-grade official position, coupled with the county marquis, Li Sheng's gold content of the county order is a scorpion in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it is only (poisonous). The officials of the Ministry of Officials are very powerful, Li Sheng has just arrived at home, and the official sent Li Sheng to his home with documents, it seems that Li Shimin can't wait to let Li Sheng take office.

The officials did not have much time for Li Sheng, and he had to rush to Qinghe County in mid-June to take office. By the way, Li Sheng also forwarded the clerk to the Ministry of Officials and inquired about the situation in Qinghe County. Li Sheng learned that the original Qinghe County Decree was a Jinshi in the first year of Zhenguan, and his name was Li Hongcai, only because of the robber merchants in Qinghe County, Li Hongcai was dismissed for his ineffective clearance, and was waiting for the new county order sent by the imperial court in Qinghe County at this time.

There are too many happy events in Lijia Village this year, all of which are related to Li Sheng. Li Erhu now likes to set up a flowing water seat, and as soon as the officials of the Ministry left, Li Erhu sent Guan Lao Wu to buy wine and food, and he wanted to celebrate with his fellow villagers. This is much happier than Li Sheng getting a marquis. The ancients were official-based thinking, and the title was just an honor, but being an official was real. Li Sheng couldn't understand their thoughts, and he didn't dare to tell Li Erhu about the danger of this trip.

After a few days of trouble, Li Sheng also explained the affairs at home, and specially arranged for Guan Lao Wu to do a good job in the breeding things that Li Sheng had done before. It's time for Li Sheng to go to Qinghe to take office.

The entrance of Lijia Village was full of villagers who came to see Li Sheng, and Li Sheng said goodbye one by one for a long time. Li Erhu explained to Li Sheng over and over again with red eyes, and Guan Lao Wu and his wife also followed, making Li Sheng's eyes red, and it wasn't over until a few horses galloped.

Cheng Huaimo brought four palace guards, and when he arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village, Cheng Huaimo dismounted and saluted Li Erhu before walking towards Li Sheng.

"The little one came to see Master Li Sheng, and the little one came to report to Master Li on the order, if Master Li needs anything, the little one will not hesitate." Cheng Huaimo clenched his fists with both hands, smiled cheaply, and teased Li Sheng.

Li Sheng gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "Look at your cheap appearance, are you disgusting?" Don't you know what virtues you have? ”

"What virtue do I have? No matter what virtue I have, I am your eldest brother. You only have the share of calling your brother in this life, hurry up and see the courtesy, you don't understand the rules at all. After Cheng Huaimo finished speaking, he said to Li Sheng with a smug face.

Li Sheng looked at Cheng Huaimo speechlessly, damn it, this can be depressed to death. let him crush himself, and I was really full of him when I found him to be a bodyguard.

"The younger brother Li Sheng has seen the eldest brother." Li Sheng had to salute him in front of so many people, otherwise outsiders would gossip.

"Hey! How does this say, exempt, exempt. Cheng Huaimo was so proud that he hurriedly picked up Li Sheng, looking more proud and proud.

Li Shenglai had to entangle with him and looked at the four people behind Cheng Huaimo. Among the four, except for Bai Yulang, they are all burly men, Bai Yulang's figure is about the same as Li Sheng, with a slender figure and a white appearance. I just don't know how the kung fu on my body is, but there is time on the road, and Li Sheng is not in a hurry to ask more.

"The four behind you are also sent by the emperor?"

"Lu Kui meets Master Hou!"

"Bai Yulang meets Master Hou!"

"Li Sheng greets Master Hou!"

"Guan Er meets Master Hou!"

The four of them saluted Li Sheng in unison, and Li Sheng still heard that one person had the same name and surname as himself, which made Li Sheng laugh.

"Your name is Li Sheng too?"

The guard named Li Sheng couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "The villain doesn't want to, my father and mother gave it, please don't be surprised." However, the little one has a nickname, called San Lang, and the Hou Ye will be called the little Li San Lang in the future. ”

It was really inconvenient to call the same name and surname, so Li Sheng had to say: "Okay! In the future, we will all call you Li Sanlang. ”

Li Sheng didn't look at the sun too early, just like his father and fellow villagers quit. After another reluctance, Li Sheng finally walked out of Lijia Village.

Qinghe County is now Qinghe County, Hebei Province, nearly 2,000 miles away from Chang'an, and the transportation was not developed in ancient times, even if Li Sheng walked 100 miles a day, it would take 20 days. But Li Sheng and his entourage couldn't walk a hundred miles a day, because Li Sheng hadn't ridden a horse much, and after walking for a day, Li Sheng's buttocks and both sides of his thighs were worn out, and it hurt hotly. Li Sheng had no choice but to make a special trip to the carriage, but the carriage was too bumpy, and Li Sheng was about to fall apart, so Li Sheng had to let Cheng Huaimo slow down, and the horse only walked eighty miles a day.

May and June is the hottest time of the year, Li Sheng and his entourage walked for five days, and finally went out of Tongguan and entered the territory of Henan in the future. However, the road was more difficult to walk, and Li Sheng's abrasions were also scabbed, and Li Sheng switched back to riding a horse. Li Sheng was also helpless to change back to riding a horse, the road was too difficult to walk, and the bumps were too bad.

After noon, several people were already hungry and thirsty, were there any villages around, Li Sheng saw that there was a forest next to the official road in front of him, so he stopped Cheng Huaimo and said, "Big brother, let's rest in front!" It's too hot, and it's easy to get sick if you go again. ”

"Alas, according to your way, when will you be able to reach the realm." Cheng Huaimo really has an understanding of Li Sheng's frailty.

Li Sheng didn't pay attention to him, and when the group of six people walked into the woods, he said to the four people behind him: "Wander around, get some game, I'll make you something to eat." ”

"Order, Hou Ye wait for a moment. San Lang will go with me, Guan Er, you two will guard the Hou Ye. "Lu Kui is the oldest among the four, and he also has the highest position among the four, and he is a military captain from Jiupin Escort Rong, so everything Li Sheng ordered was arranged by Lu Kui for three people.

Cheng Huaimo took down the wine bag on the horse and drank the wine alone. Cheng Huaimo is very yearning for the Prancing Horse field, although he entered the Praetorian Guard some time ago, but the Praetorian Guard did not fight. Since he got the task of guarding Li Sheng, and heard that bandits were rampant in Qinghe County, his heart had already flown to the bandits in Qinghe County, and he wished that he would go to Qinghe County tomorrow. Li Sheng's speed of hurrying, how could he not be depressed. If he followed his idea, he should rush to Qinghe County non-stop, go to the place to count the people and horses and kill the bandits' lair directly.

Li Sheng didn't know what Cheng Huaimo was thinking, he couldn't follow his idea anyway, otherwise he wouldn't have arrived in Qinghe County yet, and he would hang up first.

Li Sheng's equipment was very complete, he first took out a straw mat, and then took out a barbecue grill from the carriage, which was built before coming. He asked Bai Yulang and Guan Er to fetch some water to drink horses, seeing that he was not going to take office like this, it was quite a taste of an outing.

Li Sheng lit the charcoal fire, took out the leftover barbecue from yesterday, and roasted it first. After a while, the aroma of meat overflowed, Cheng Huaimo swallowed his saliva, pretended not to smell it, and poured a sip of wine.

"Big brother, I still have some barbecue from yesterday here, do you want to have some?" Li Sheng saw Cheng Huaimo's stomach full of resentment, and he also wanted to talk to him. Whether he wants it or not, he is still his eldest brother. There is still a long time along the way, and you can't look at his stinky face every day.

"Eat it yourself! I have jerky. Cheng Huaimo didn't want to deal with him.

Although Li Sheng couldn't bite the gold in the process, it was more than enough to deal with Cheng Huaimo, so Li Sheng picked up the roasted meat and shouted to Guan Er and Bai Yulang: "Guan Er Bai Yulang, don't be busy with the two of you, be busy after eating." ”

"Master Hou, you eat first, and we'll go over." Guan Er replied.

Bai Yulang was not polite, put the bucket in front of the horse, turned his head and came back. Bai Yulang is a person who loves cleanliness, and in the words of later generations, he is a person who has a habit of cleanliness. Dressed in a costume, I drove for a few days, and I didn't see a trace of dirt.

Bai Yulang eats more distinctively, his hand is up and down, and the meat slices fly up just when he inserts it on the tip of the knife, and then it is carefully sent to his mouth, on his hands and on the side of his mouth, without a trace of greasy. When Li Sheng first saw this hand, he was a little dumbfounded. But after a few days, Li Sheng also got used to it.

"It tastes good, I added some spices, plus yesterday's spices have seeped into the meat, and the oil juice in the meat is oozing, so it can be said that it is full of color and flavor at this time."

Li Sheng's explanation, the saliva of Cheng Huaimo, who seduced him, flowed, since he had eaten Li Sheng's barbecued meat, Cheng Huaimo felt that all he had eaten before was wood with salt.

Cheng Huaimo couldn't resist the temptation of food, stood up suddenly, walked to Li Sheng's barbecue grill, picked up the barbecue that Li Sheng hadn't made yet, and devoured it.

Li Sheng glanced at him, smiled, took out a delicate porcelain bottle from his arms, the size of a catty wine bottle in later generations, and said, "Do you want to taste the secret liquor made by the Drunken Immortal Fang?" ”

Cheng Huaimo glanced at the porcelain vase and knew that the wine in it must be good, so he said: "I have worked so hard to accompany you to work, so naturally I have to drink it, otherwise I won't be tired in vain." ”

Li Sheng didn't say much, so he handed it to him. Cheng Huaimo took it with his greasy hand, and the porcelain bottle was full of greasy. Bai Yulang on the side frowned, and finally simply turned his head away, no longer looking at the porcelain bottle in Cheng Huaimo's hand. For people with cleanliness, this is unacceptable, even if the porcelain bottle is filled with elixir and jade liquid, it can't suppress the psychology of cleanliness.

Cheng Huaimo opened the porcelain bottle, and a strong aroma of wine spread around, and even Guan Er, who was taking care of the horses on the side, smelled it, and hurriedly walked over here. Cheng Huaimo couldn't wait to take a big sip, a fire instantly ignited in his mouth, and then entered his throat, flowing into his abdomen like lava, and a hot warm air rose from his abdomen, Cheng Huaimo suddenly sweated profusely, and swept away the hardship of half a day.

"Good wine, good wine."

Cheng Huaimo seemed to be afraid that someone would rob him of his wine, and he poured another sip as soon as the words fell.

Guan Er looked at Li Sheng with anticipation on his face, Li Sheng naturally understood what he meant, so he said, "There are still a lot of them in the carriage, go get them yourself." ”

"Master Xie!"

Guan Er hurriedly ran to the carriage, took out two porcelain vases from it, and threw one to Bai Yulang. After Bai Yulang took it, he took out a piece of silk cloth from his body, wiped it on the side, and then opened it and tasted it. After tasting it, he looked at Li Sheng with a stunned face.

"Master Hou, this wine is made by you? What is the name of this wine? ”

"Two pot heads!"

Indeed, this liquor is made by Li Sheng, the product of Li Sheng's distillation several times, and it is a strong liquor with more than 60 degrees. Li Sheng gave the name of "Erguotou", also because Li Sheng's father in his previous life liked to drink Erguotou. It can also be regarded as Li Sheng's nostalgia for his relatives in his previous life.

Just when a few people were discussing the second pot head of praising Li Shengzhuo, a convoy came from the direction of Chang'an on the official road, which looked like a caravan of merchants from a distance.

At this time, Lu Kui and the others, who were hunting, also returned, and the two brought back a few hares and a few pheasants. Li Sheng also asked the two of them to go to the car to get the second pot head, and asked Guan Er to wash and peel these prey. Li Sheng himself was in front of the grill, turning the roast before roasting.

When the caravan saw someone in front of it, it also stopped. An old man walked out of it, and he was dressed like a shopkeeper. The shopkeeper walked up to a few people and said, "Little Lao'er has given a few gifts." I don't know how many parties are inconvenient, let Xiao Lao'er's caravan enter the forest to rest for a while. ”

"The elder is polite, since it is fate to meet, why is it inconvenient to say. Everyone, please! ”

Li Sheng and the others were all in civilian clothes, and Li Sheng's identity didn't want to be exposed, let alone have a dispute with others, so he said politely.

"Since a few of you don't dislike it, Xiao Lao'er has thanked me here first." The shopkeeper saw that Li Sheng politely agreed, and shouted behind him: "Cui Hong, tell everyone to go into the forest to rest." ”

When Li Sheng heard that his surname was Cui, he secretly thought to himself: "It won't be so coincidental!" This caravan can't be the Cui family's caravan, right? ”

"The elder is above, the boy is polite. Since we have met here, we have a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and I wonder if the elders can have a drink together. Li Sheng wanted to find out the identity of the caravan, so he naturally had to be enthusiastic.

"Xiao Langjun is so literate, and Xiao Lao'er admires it. Since Xiao Langjun invited, Xiao Lao'er was not polite. The shopkeeper turned around and shouted, "Cui Hong bring some wine and food." ”

"Hey, the elder is polite, in the wilderness, I don't want you to be too particular."

"Don't bother, there are accompanying cooks in the caravan, it won't be long before you work hard." The shopkeeper's old history still has some eyesight, and from the dress and appearance of Li Sheng and his party, it can be seen that Li Sheng must be the son of a noble family.

Li Sheng said politely: "In this case, the kid depends on the elder, but I wait for the first time to meet, and the kid doesn't know what to call the elder?" ”
