After the greetings, the county magistrate Quan Zhihuan ordered the master Zhao Youbin to properly settle Li Guo and others, and ordered someone to kill a pig, slaughter a sheep, and send it to Li Guo to work here.

Quan Zhihuan and the others held their own identities, and they refused to accompany a general manager to eat and drink, but just called Li Guo to his side and asked carefully when Hong Chengchou's army would arrive. Li Guo came to Quan Zhihuan one by one according to the fabrication, and finally, Li Guo said, "My lord, Governor Hong will arrive in a few days, and I believe that the bandits will be put down soon." ”

Quan Zhihuan wanted to hear this, seeing Li Guo say this, thinking that there would be no danger in the river meander, so he went back to his own office with Zheng Dashan, Jiang Chang and others, and went to enjoy themselves.

And after the master Zhao Youbin settled Li Guo and his party, he had to pull Nie Xin to a private place to talk. And Nie Xin insisted on inviting Li Guo to go with him, which made Zhao Youbin very strange. Zhao Youbin thought to himself, this person is just a general, a petty official like a grasshopper, Nie Xin is such an arrogant person, why should he be so polite to this petty official who is not in the stream?

Li Guo couldn't refuse, so he had to secretly order Liu Tichun to be on guard, and if the officers and soldiers of Hequ saw the clues, it would be better to take precautions. Liu Tichun agreed, and ordered a dozen capable soldiers to follow Li Guo and protect Li Guo's safety.

Zhao Youbin led Li Guo and Nie Xin to his private house, and when the wine and food were ready, Zhao Youbin waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to go out.

After the three of them drank a few glasses of wine, Zhao Youbin coughed dryly.

Nie Xin understood, "Brother Youbin, don't worry, this General Li and I are a lifelong friend, so it's okay to say anything." ”

Zhao Youbin smiled, and had no choice but to say, "Brother Nie, you don't know, for more than a year, I have been thinking about you for more than a year." ”

"Worried dude." Nie Xin was a little moved when he saw the truth of what Zhao Youbin said.

"I've heard that you've been coerced away by bandits, and then you have no information, so I'm really worried. I don't know why you ended up in Gansu? It must have been hard to come with the soldiers this time, but have you ever met Brother Zhang, Brother Wang and others from the governor's line? Zhao Youbin had some doubts in his heart.

"I didn't see it, this time I came and went in a hurry, and I didn't have time to talk with my fellow villagers, which is a pity. However, this time I was able to get together with Brother Youbin in Hequ, which was enough to make up for my regrets. Nie Xin smiled, "You said that I was coerced by bandits, but it was a great luck in misfortune." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Youbin was very curious.

"I remember that more than a year ago, you and I once met and discussed the shape of the world. At that time, your brother said that judging by the situation, the world seems to be in turmoil, and I deeply agree. This time, I strayed into the bandits, but I found the real dragon! Nie Xin said meaningfully.

"No kidding." Zhao Youbin shook his head, "Although it is a troubled time, the Ming Dynasty has been a country for hundreds of years, and it is not out of control." The Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid it's still growing. ”

"Youbin, Da Ming has been eroded so far, it is a secret that everyone knows. Don't you really believe that the Ming Dynasty is long-term, even if the founding emperor of this dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, from the beginning to the founding of the country, is only a dozen years old, who saw that the Yuan Dynasty could perish? Nie Xinzheng said.

Zhao Youbin nodded.

Nie Xin continued, "I remember that when Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne today, Si Tianjian at that time watched the celestial phenomena and found that the main star was very dark, and the guest star took the master, and there was a white light reflected in the guest star from Qin. At that time, Si Tianjian once said that the guest star was too prosperous, and if he didn't stop it, he would not be afraid that the country would last. At that time, Emperor Chongzhen was furious and killed Si Tianjian to cover up the matter, but after all, it was leaked. ”

"Well, that was the case back then." Zhao Youbin remembered this: "But what did you say about seeing the real dragon?" ”

"At first, I didn't believe it, but when I saw that person, I didn't feel anything at first, and slowly found that this person was walking like a tiger, and he was really a dragon and phoenix among people. Talking to him, I found that this person's martial arts are really good, and he actually has great ability to go through heaven and earth. Nie Xin talked about Li Guo, and his admiration was overflowing, not because Li Guo was beside him and changed his flattery.

"Why, there are such people? Brother Nie is only eight years old, and it is not wrong for that person to be so praised by Brother Nie. Zhao Youbin was a little unconvinced.

"What this person says and does is very different from ordinary people, dissatisfied brother said, I claim to be a disciple of the true lineage, but compared with that person, like a dark pearl to Mingyue, it is much inferior." What Nie Xin said was not false, although Li Guo was just an ordinary person, but modern knowledge, even if it was very ordinary, surprised people at the time.

Looking at the surprised Zhao Youbin, Nie Xin said again, "There is a strange person, there is a talent named Sun Dengke from Weinan, this person's article is not necessarily clever, but it is said that it has been passed down from the family since childhood, which makes the art of stargazing and divination perfect." According to him, he had seen the White Tiger Star covering the man's tent, as if to protect the man. I also watch the stars at night, and it seems to be true. It's just that I don't know much about astrology, but I can't be underestimated. Li Guo was a little ashamed when he heard Nie Xin talk about Sun Dengke's comparison of himself to the White Tiger Star, but Sun Dengke can talk nonsense, and he can be the Minister of Propaganda in the future.

"Is there really such a person who came into the world?" Zhao Youbin's palms were sweating as he listened.

"Hehe, I'm not done yet, you listen to me." Nie Xin stopped Zhao Youbin, who wanted to ask a question, and kept talking about Li Guo's point of view, and the topic couldn't stop when he talked about it.

Li Guo was satisfied with what he heard, because not only did Nie Xin fully understand Li Guo's thoughts, but also said it in the language of the time, adding Nie Xin's embellishment, it was even more clear than what Li Guo seemed to say.

Li Guo was happy in his heart, and saw that Nie Xin and Zhao Youbin were talking about it, but they didn't move a mouthful of wine and meat, so they were alone and stuffed up on the side.

After eating enough, seeing that Nie Xin and Zhao Youbin were still grinding and chatting, they stood up, and as soon as they gave their hands to the two, they were about to walk out.

Nie Xin knew that Li Guo was worried about the team entering the city, and he did not stop it.

Zhao Youbin staggered and pulled out a knife from the corner, and said to Li Guo, "After hearing so many things, do you want to leave without making an oath?" ”

Li Guo knew that Nie Xin was here, and he was in no danger, so he just smiled, turned his head and left.

Nie Xin hugged Zhao Youbin and said in a loud voice, "My own people, don't worry." "Press Zhao Youbin to his seat.

Zhao Youbin looked at Li Guo's back and said to Nie Xin, "This person is not in a hurry or impatient, but he is not good." ”

Nie Xin thought to himself, the real dragon I just talked about is him, can he be vulgar!

Li Guo returned to the station, and Liu Tichun had already arranged the camp very properly. Li Guo nodded, returned to the tent and prepared to sleep, but he couldn't sleep.

Li Guo was thinking about the outside of the city.

Li Guo entered the city this time, and only brought 140 people, which is already a lot, and the normal establishment of a total of only 112 people. Fortunately, Nie Xin appeared as a staff member of the Gansu General Army, and it is not surprising that there are a few more people.

The rest of the more than 60 people and more than 200 children's soldiers, led by Huang Xiu and Gu Ying, lurked in the col not far away in order to serve as a countermeasure. In fact, Li Guo didn't want these children and Huang Xiu to be in danger for the time being. But this is Huang Xiu and others camping alone, can they cope with various incidents? Also, will the peasant army attacking the meanders be able to arrive the day after tomorrow?

Li Guo thought about it and fell asleep unconsciously. Li Guo never knew that Huang Xiu and the others not only did not encounter danger, but had a harvest.
