Ye Chen and Zhang Qian still took Steward Hua's carriage home, and neither of them spoke along the way. Ye Chen couldn't help but wonder what he was going to do in the future, he had planned to just leave here and find a place to live his life comfortably, but today he suddenly found that maybe there would be a war that day.

If only he was fearless, he turned his head to look at Zhang Qian, since the first time he saw this girl who was wearing torn patched clothes and hadn't eaten for two days and kept steamed buns for herself, Ye Chen couldn't let her be bullied anymore, the girl's simple eyes ignited Ye Chen's tenderness that he hadn't had for a long time.

"Ye Jieyuan, Miss Qian'er is home." Huatian stopped the raceway.

Ye Chen opened the door and asked Zhang Qian to go back first, and he took out two taels of silver at the door and handed it over and said, "Steward Hua is fortunate, keep this money to buy some wine to drink." ”

Hua Tian shook his head and said: "Thank you Ye Jieyuan, it's just that the master is good enough for me, not to mention that the relationship between you and Miss Qian'er and the master is extraordinary, I can't take this money." After saying that, he drove away by himself.

Ye Chen was in a daze at the door, it seems that it is not easy for this Hua Tian to be Yang Bin's housekeeper, at least he knows how to be measured.

"Brother, what are you doing at the door, come in and wash and sleep." Zhang Qian shouted in the courtyard.

"Well, you should go to bed early, too. Today is tired, you will sleep more tomorrow. Ye Chen closed the door and said.

Hexian is in the northernmost part of Linzhou, and because it is far from the border, no orcs have reached here. At most, people are miserable because of famine or taxes, at least this is not like the south of Linzhou, where every few years there are small-scale orcs to plunder resources, and countless families are ruined.

After thousands of years of resistance and expansion, the Qin State is still a giant, although the population is not the largest, but the army is definitely the highest combat power, and the Qin State, known as the 200 states, is rumored to have 8 million elite troops. Although they are all elite troops, there are also differences, the Qin State has been fighting against the orcs every year in the past few years, even if the orcs don't come, they will sometimes take the initiative to attack, and now the main forces of the orcs are almost all in other countries.

Wei has been a country second only to Qin for so many years, of course, not referring to the army but to the economy and development. Because the remaining six kingdoms happened to surround the Wei state, there were only a few places in the Wei state where there were wars. Although the territory of Wei is not much, it is definitely the most peaceful country. It is rumored that the monarch of Wei sang songs all day and night, completely ignoring national affairs.

The next day, Ye Chen got up at dawn to exercise, and did not relax because he did not finish the exam, but felt even more oppressed in his heart after yesterday's events. In this strange place, the only thing he can rely on is his own strength, but fortunately, this body is still young, and he will even surpass his original self in a few years.

"Qian'er, it's almost noon, it's time to get up and eat." Ye Chen shouted at the door.

"Got it, brother, I'll come right away." Zhang Qian answered in a daze.

After Zhang Qian came out, she saw that Ye Chen had prepared breakfast, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, you should have called me to get up early to help you make breakfast, you will also be a scholar in the future, how can you cook every day." ”

Ye Chen chuckled and said, "What a scholar, I'm just your brother." Isn't it natural for an older brother to take care of his younger sister? "Brother, you... What you said yesterday counts. Zhang Qian was still a little worried that Ye Chen was lying to her.

"Of course it's true." Ye Chen said.

After eating, Ye Chen took Zhang Qian to Uncle Li and told him the first result of his township exam. By the way, he told him that he might have to leave here to take the exam in Linzhou, and Qian'er also went with him, this time to say goodbye to him. After hearing this, Uncle Li praised Ye Chen's parents for blessing them with the blessing of the spirit of heaven, and persuaded Ye Chen not to worry about himself, let him work hard, and strive to take the exam to glorify his ancestors.

"Brother, are we really leaving?" Zhang Qian asked.

"That's right, we'll leave when your path is done, even if you want to stay here, I don't worry." Ye Chen responded. It's not that Ye Chen doesn't want to continue to stay in Hexian, on the one hand, there are Fang family's ill intentions against Qian'er, on the other hand, it is likely that unpredictable things will happen in the near future, what he can do now is to quickly enhance his strength, and there will be no accidents due to the change of times one day in the future.

"Ye Jieyuan, are you looking for Lord Yang?" As soon as Ye Chen walked to the door, the official next to him hurriedly greeted him and asked. The current Ye Chen is also the number one person in the county government, especially Zhang Qian is Yang Bin's righteous daughter, this group of people in the yamen is not a ghost, as soon as they saw Ye Chen and Zhang Qian coming, they immediately stepped forward to curry favor.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes, please inform me, just say that Ye Chen has something to do." ”

The official shook his head and said, "Ye Xie Yuan's words are serious, what else is there to report." The adult said that as long as you come and go directly to him, you don't have to bother so much. ”

"Thank you very much." Chen took Zhang Qian and walked towards Yang Bin's study.

Knock knock.

"Who, please come in." Yang Bin, who was reading the information, said.

Ye Chen pushed the door in and said, "Uncle Yang, it's me." ”

"Good father." Zhang Qian on the side also said playfully.

Yang Bin put the book away and said, "It turned out to be the two of you, sit down first." Are you here to get the leads? ”

Ye Chen sat down and said, "Yes, I want to go to Linzhou as soon as possible, and if I am lucky enough to pass the exam in September." Then I will go directly to the capital and wait for next year's palace exam. If you can't get by, maybe you'll be in the county. ”

"If it's inconvenient for you, you can leave Qian'er behind, and I can promise to treat her like my own daughter." Yang Bin sent someone to inquire yesterday, Zhang Qian has been helping Ye Chen wash and cook at home every day in the past few years, and she has never complained or been dissatisfied. Yang Bin has no children and no daughters under his knees, and went home yesterday to tell his wife about Zhang Qian, and his wife also agreed very much and wanted Zhang Qian to live in Yang's mansion.

"Qian'er, still stay with me, although I know that Uncle Yang will treat Qian'er well, but there is a Fang family in Hexian, and I am always uneasy. And some time ago, Fang Xing wanted to beat Qian'er's family by me and robbed all the money on his body, he must have always held a grudge, although he didn't dare to do anything now, but it was inevitable that one day he would attack Qian'er. Ye Chen expressed his concerns, he didn't want Qian'er to stay here, because Yang Bin couldn't keep an eye on Qian'er all the time.

Yang Bin sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that the Fang family has a lot of power in Linzhou and the capital, otherwise I would have taken down their father and son." In this case, I won't keep you, this is Qian'er's guide, when do you plan to leave. ”

Ye Chen took the road and said, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." ”

Yang Bin thought about it and said: "Then you can leave the day after tomorrow, it just so happens that Yude also sets off the day after tomorrow." Linzhou is a long way, you can stop by the way, and you don't have to worry about meeting bad people on the road with him. ”

"Then it's time to trouble Uncle Yang and Lord Yu to talk, let's leave first." Ye Chen got up and said.

"Well, you guys should go back first." Yang Bin nodded.
