The two days passed quickly, and the town was as lively as ever.

Outside the gate of the Zhong family, a row of carriages and horses had been parked at this time, Ye Wenhao stood in front of a carriage, his eyes looked into the distance, he had been waiting for a long time, but the person he was looking forward to never came.

Zhong Yulan, who was on the side, looked up at the sky, walked over slowly, and said softly, "Husband, the hour is not early." ”

"It's not a smooth road, so we need to leave early, so we can find a suitable place to stay before dark."

Ye Wenhao nodded: "Well, let's go." ”

His voice was full of amazement, and he withdrew his gaze, turned and followed his wife into the carriage.

The carriages and horses at the gate of "Wheel" and "Wheel" started in turn and gradually moved away from the town.....

...........

At the end of noon on the same day, a convoy of many carriages arrived at the gate of the city.

A stout man in front of the convoy jumped out of the carriage and shouted behind him at the top of his voice: "It's time to get out of the car, pay your own money and go to the city!" ”

With his shout, more than a dozen men and women walked down one after another in the next few carriages, old and young, Ye Ming and Li Tianming were also among them.

Both of them have passed the county exam, so when they were separated in the county seat before, they made an appointment to come together during the government exam.

After Li Tianming got out of the car, he stretched his waist, looked at the gate of Fucheng in front of him, and sighed: "After so many days, it's finally here!" ”

Ye Ming's gaze swept around, and while stepping forward, he waved at him: "It's not early, we still need to enter the city quickly and settle down early." ”

"Okay, but... Hey, hey, hey....."

Li Tianming responded, remembered something, and suddenly gathered beside the young man, laughing a little obscenely, and first looked around with a thief's eyebrows.

Then he said in a low voice: "I was in the hands of my mother and father at home before, so I didn't have a chance to go in and see it, isn't it a few days before the exam, do you want to .....?"

Seeing Ye Ming's surprised gaze, he coughed a few times and forcibly explained: "I just want to go in and have a look, I heard that even ordinary ladies there are quite literate." ”

"Where do many literati and elegant guests in this city like to go, how can we not go to see and see?"

"Maybe you can make friends with some talented people and exchange reading experiences together, how about it, are you going?"

Ye Ming blinked, and there was a hint of confusion on his face: "Aren't you also here for the first time?" Where did you know all this? ”

Li Tianming waved his hand, his face pretending to be deep: "Hey, what's so difficult about this?" I listened to the people in the convoy, and every time you stayed in the hotel to rest, you went back to the house early. ”

"What can it mean? I'm not going back, I'm staying in the lobby and listening to those people chatting, but it's interesting for me to tell you! You haven't said it yet, whether to go or not? ”

Ye Ming retracted his gaze, no longer looked at him, and kept paying money to enter the city: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Don't say any more, I'll tell you, if you don't ......."

.............

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

In Peach Blossom Village, Ye Zhen's family provided food subsidies, and Zhang Cun was speaking, and forty-five strong men were quickly selected in the village to form three teams of people.

The people who were not selected were quite sorry in their hearts, it was polished rice, one pound of polished rice a day, and nearly three buckets of grain in a month.

The rice family in the town has risen a lot now, and if it can be selected, it will be a big harvest in January.

Zhang Cunzheng followed Ye Hao's advice, and the selected people took turns to patrol, and when they were not patrolling, they were given simple training.

Ye Hao doesn't want these people to be all silver guns and wax heads, she doesn't look like it's useful, her requirements are not high, don't mention her combat skills or anything, at least she has to train her guts, right?

Zhang Cunzheng also made the decision and divided the plot of land out as a training ground for the people.

Whenever it comes to training, those young and old in the village who have nothing to do like to gather around and watch, and the people who participate in the training are all in good spirits, for fear that they will not do a good job and be ridiculed.

Just when the people in Peach Blossom Village were busy with these, a hundred miles away in the county seat, outside the house on Xishui Street, a team of carriages and horses suddenly drove at this time.

In front and behind are sturdy soldiers wearing armor and riding tall horses, and in the middle is an ordinary-looking, but spacious-looking carriage.

Mu Qi, who was guarding the courtyard, heard the movement, jumped on the big tree in the courtyard and looked out, and raised his eyebrows when he saw a person wearing eunuch clothes walking down from the carriage.

Although he was surprised in his heart, he didn't dare to delay the time, and quickly came to the outside of the study, and respectfully reported: "Lang Jun, someone from the court has come." ”

"yes, got it." Mu Qingfeng in the room looked unfazed, put down the book in his hand, straightened his clothes a little, and walked out of the door.

A group of people led by the eunuch was very fast, and after a while, they came to the front of the house, and the eunuch led by him saw the young man.

Straight to the point, he said with a smile on his face: "Mu Shizi, take the order." ”

Mu Qingfeng didn't say anything when he heard this, he lifted the hem of his clothes, and simply knelt down on one knee on the cotton pad on the ground.

Seeing this scene, ......the eunuch reached out from the little eunuch beside him, took the holy decree made of bright yellow satin, opened it and read it.

The holy decree didn't last long, and after a while, the eunuch closed the holy decree and handed it to the young man, and at the same time, there was a smile on his face: "Mu Shizi, don't let the saint down." ”

"The minister will live up to the trust of the saint." The boy replied indifferently.

"Ahem, the saint said, everything is based on Mu Shizi's safety, if the matter is really difficult, don't force yourself, just go back to Beijing, and the saint will send someone else to deal with it."

The eunuch coughed twice, and although he said vaguely, he clearly expressed the emperor's meaning: Everything else is false, in fact, the saint just misses you, Mu Shizi.

Mu Qingfeng understood, but his face did not show a trace, and even his words did not change: "The minister will not disappoint the saint!" ”

"It's good that Mu Shizi understands, then the miscellaneous family won't stay much." The eunuch took the purse handed by Mu Ming on the other side and turned to leave.

I don't know how he saw that the boy understood?

Mu Qingfeng looked at their backs, was silent for a moment, turned around and went back to the room, and sat back at the back of the desk.

Mu Ming, who was at the bottom, endured it, didn't hold back, and said, "Lang Jun, how can the Holy Lord know what you are planning?" ”

Could it be that there are people from the emperor around them?

The young man glanced at him lightly, did not answer, thought quietly for a few breaths, suddenly stood up, and said as he walked out, "Follow me to the county government again." ”

.............

More than an hour later, a man hurried to Taohua Village, dismounted in front of Zhang Cunzheng's courtyard gate, and strode inside.....
