In the early morning of the next day, the gate of the upper hall slowly opened, and the soldiers on standby to defend the city were on standby, checking the merchants and people who came and went, and prevented the eyes and ears of all forces from mixing into the city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The people lined up in a long line, one by one, and they were examined one by one, and they were in good order, and no one dared to make trouble in the upper hall, otherwise everything would be dealt with severely according to the law.

"Your name is Qi Wuhuaiwen?" The soldiers guarding the city found a person, the name is extremely weird, the person with the compound surname is not unseen, Yuwen Chengdu is still the personal guard of the state pastor, but such an unpopular compound surname can be said to be unheard of, so the soldiers guarding the city also pay attention.

"Back to the adult's words, I did return to the surname Qi Wu in the next place, I am a person from Liangzhou, I heard that the state pastor issued a recruitment order, and I am not taboo about my identity, so I came all the way, please be accommodating, and let me enter the city to meet." Qi Wuhuaiwen has an honest face, his face is blackened by the iron fire, it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and is difficult to change, but a pair of capable eyes are extremely clear, as if telling the extraordinaryness of this person.

"It's not that I'm not accommodating, in fact, I have rules in Shangtang City, the foreign population must not only register and make a register, but also send people to verify their identity, and everything must be investigated clearly, I think you should wait patiently." The pawn waved his hand impatiently with an undoubted face, while Qi Wuhuaiwen sighed helplessly and wanted to leave the city.

"Come into the city with me." King Li listened to their conversation word for word, with a black line on his face, this rule was still set by himself, I didn't expect it to be so cumbersome to implement, I even doubt that the reason why Xue Rengui and Zhou Tong haven't come to work is not because they were refused to enter the city......

Although Qi Wuhuaiwen was puzzled, it would be good if he could enter the city, so he left behind King Li.

"Huh! ......"The pawn wanted to stop King Li, but before he finished speaking, he was stopped by a slightly older soldier on the side.

"What are you pulling me to do, that person has no identity and can't enter the city."

The older soldier sighed: "Don't be unpleasant, didn't you see General Chengdu personally guarding the young man?" ”

"Yuwen Chengdu?" The pawn was dazzled for a while, he was just a pawn, how could he know the red man around King Li, his teeth trembled and said, "You mean... Is that person in front of the pastor of the state? ”

The older soldier muttered: "I can't be wrong to think about it, now Shangtang City can be guarded by General Chengdu, except for the state pastor, only Zhang Taishou is left, do you think Zhang Taishou is so young?" ”

The pawn looked at the figure farther and farther away in awe, and in their eyes, King Li's deeds were equivalent to legends......

King Li took Qi Wuhuaiwen to turn left and right, not knowing where to go, and Qi Wuhuaiwen didn't ask, and followed King Li with peace of mind, not afraid that King Li would murder him.

Qi Wuhuaiwen became more and more frightened as he walked, and after passing through the last alley, the vision in front of him suddenly opened up, but he was also shocked.

Both sides of the street are full of mansions, the most eye-catching is naturally the Taishou Mansion and the State Pastoral Mansion, as for some of the surrounding Zhao Mansion, Yang Mansion and the like, there are a lot, this is all the mansions of the generals under the command of King Li.

King Li returned to the conference hall all the way unimpeded, took a big sip of teacup, this is a lot better, last night Zhen Mi heard that King Li was going to go on the expedition again, and he asked for a night, but he didn't squeeze King Li dry, and even now on King Li's shoulders, there are still several Zhen Mi's cute tooth marks, I didn't expect this docile kitten to go crazy, more enchanting than the step trainer......

"The grass people don't have to be bothered, knock and see the state pastor."

King Li glanced at him, but he didn't expect this person to look honest, he was still a good person, and his ability to observe words and emotions was good.

Qi Wuhuaiwen used to be in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but he was a person who had been a state assassin, and his ability was naturally not small, but no one knew about these.

"Get up and sit down." King Li signaled him not to be restrained, and then said: "I heard in front of the city gate that you are here for the recruitment list, and if you have any ability, I will definitely use it." ”

Qi Wuhuaiwen thought for a while, and arched his hand: "The grass people were born in a poor family, and they have been blacksmiths for generations, but I was familiar with Confucian classics when I was young, and I have dabbled in Taoist scriptures. ”

King Li nodded, but praised him: "Yes, the conversation is extraordinary, and the demeanor is moderate, have you ever heard that Changshan County under my rule is mining black stone?" ”

Qi Wuhuaiwen is not humble or arrogant and said: "I traveled thousands of miles, naturally inquired in many ways, and also heard of this black stone, Dongxiang Hou called it coal, very concerned, I experimented while walking, and found that many aspects of it are several times better than charcoal, or even dozens of times, but he is difficult to purify, and it is not popularized, so as long as we can purify it, today's iron or today's rare steel weapons will produce earth-shaking changes." ”

Li Wang was very satisfied when he heard this, but he still said solemnly: "That's right, but you also know that the purification of coal is extremely difficult, and I, Li Wang, admit that I don't have this ability, I don't know if Mr. can solve my problems?" ”

Qi Wuhuaiwen knew that this was fat, and he already had a general direction, so he naturally wouldn't refuse, after all, if it weren't for fame, who would not have traveled thousands of miles to join the state: "Serving the Dongxiang Marquis is a matter within the grass people's responsibility, but please command." ”

Li Wang laughed: "You don't have to test me, you just need to immediately lead my paperwork to Changshan, find Hao Zhao, the Taishou of Changshan County, and ask him to assist you in the research of coal purification, as for the position, you are temporarily appointed as the governor of Wanyan Zongwangjun, as long as you make merits, I will personally reward you as a county Taishou, and I will rule the six counties of Bingzhou plus Wei County and Changshan County, as long as you want, even if it is the position of Shangtang Taishou, Uncle Zhang must also give it up to you." ”

Qi Wuhuaiwen Gujing Bubo's heartbeat was so fast, the cake painted by Li Wang was so big, so big that he couldn't help but want to swallow it all, even if he died: "Dongxiang Hou trusts me so much, I will definitely live up to my trust and purify the coal as soon as possible, so that the Bingzhou army can popularize the steel as soon as possible." ”

Qi Wuhuaiwen went down satisfied, King Li's reward was rich, but how could pie fall from the sky, the corresponding problems and setbacks would inevitably plummet like a storm, and he must take over as soon as possible and strive to achieve fame as soon as possible.

On March 25 of the first year of Zhongxing, King Li braved the light rain and set off from Shangtang overnight with the 800 blue sword guards led by Yuwen Chengdu, and gathered the 10,000 cavalry of Li Jing at Huguan to set off overnight and gallop to Wei County.

At the same time, Tai Shici, who received the order of King Li, ordered 50,000 troops, set off from Wei County overnight, and went straight to Yecheng.
