Chen Ziwei didn't wake up all night, and the county lord didn't sleep all night.

Early in the morning, the county lord simply cleaned up in Xingchen Garden and left, and before leaving, he ordered: "No restraint, if the horse wakes up, come and report immediately."

The county lord wants to take a good look at what he wants to explain. Last night, she sat on Chen Ziwei's bed, and when she saw the beads of sweat on his head, she couldn't help but pick up a handkerchief and wipe it for him.

She leaned down, but saw Chen Ziwei's lips trembling slightly. She thought he was uncomfortable, so she whispered "Ziwei", but who knows, she heard Chen Ziwei muttering: "Are you willing to marry me?"

She was really angry when she heard this, and now, he is still thinking about other women in his heart, where is this to put her dignified county lord's face?

The county lord immediately dropped his handkerchief and wanted to pull Chen Ziwei out of bed.

As a husband, he still thinks about other women in his dreams, is he Chen Ziwei impatient?

However, holding Chen Ziwei's weak arm and looking at his pale face, she finally suppressed the anger in her heart.

She put Chen Ziwei's arm into the quilt, touched his forehead again, felt the fever subside, and she came out.

After the county lord came out from behind the screen, he thought about it outside all night.

……

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

The county lord remembered that Hu Qi was going to visit the mansion today, so she returned to the front yard.

After the county lord washed and changed clothes, she simply had breakfast, and seeing that the hour was still early, she went to the study.

When she was busy in the study, her personal Xiao Si Wujian came to report at this time, "County Lord, Master Hu has arrived." ”

The county lord thought to himself, this Hu Qi came really early!

"Tell her to wait in the main hall."

So, the county lord put down the pen in his hand and went out of the study.

At this moment, Hu Qi was waiting in the main hall, and when he saw the county lord coming, Hu Qi immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The county lord is well."

The county lord helped her up and said, "Lord Hu is polite, come, sit down." ”

Hu Qi politely made a gesture of arching his hand, "Lord Xie."

After the county lord sat down on the main seat, he saw that Hu Qi was not yet seated, so he said, "Please." ”

After hearing the county lord's command, Lord Hu chose a seat next to him and sat down.

After Hu Qi sat down, the county lord spoke: "Lord Hu, why did you come to find this county lord?"

When Lord Hu heard the county lord's question, he got up and saluted and replied, "County lord, the lower official is here to discuss with you today about this year's martial arts."

The county lord wondered, "Oh? I'm afraid that Lord Hu is looking for the wrong person, the county lord has no official or position in the court, and the county lord never participates in the affairs of the court. ”

When Lord Hu saw the county lord speak, he immediately vetoed it, so she explained the reason: "The lower officials know that the county lord never participates in court politics, but the county lord is a relative of the emperor, and it is not against the law to meddle in this matter."

Over the years, the martial arts assessment has been divided into three levels.

The first level, the lottery group, according to the number of participants divided into 20 groups, each group of winners to enter the second level, at this time 20 people;

In the second level, each of the twenty people will face an elite soldier in the battle army, and the winner will enter the third level, and according to the annual convention, no more than five people will enter the third level;

In the third level, the generals of the imperial court personally test their martial arts to determine whether they can pass the test, according to the way of selecting the best of the best, the strongest one is given the official position of the imperial court, and the other few people enter the military camp for trial.

The county lord couldn't help frowning when he heard Lord Hu say this, and thought, what does this have to do with this county lord?

Lord Hu saw that the county lord did not interrupt her, so she continued: "This year, the imperial court will not be able to select a candidate to be the third level of assessment. Therefore, the lower official asked the county lord to come forward and deign to go. ”

The county lord understood at the moment, he didn't come for General Chen's business, he dared to use General Chen's matter as a pretense to let her accept her worship sticker, the key was to come to her.

However, what Hu Qi didn't know was that she never looked at the content before receiving the post, only the mood.

It seems that Hu Qi is lucky, and she accepted her worship.

Seeing Hu Qi's words, the county lord said with a smile:

"Really? How could the imperial court not find a general? Master Hu said it was funny. ”

Seeing the county lord's careless appearance, Lord Hu explained: "A few years ago, it was General Chen Ziluo's review, and after General Chen Xiao died, the matter was handed over to General Zheng, but recently, General Chen and General Zheng were imprisoned in the mansion, and other generals were stationed at the border pass, and no one in the court could use it for a while, so the official came to invite the county lord to come out."

The county lord laughed when he heard Lord Hu's words: "General Hu, aren't you confused? The lord of this county does not understand martial arts. ”

When General Hu heard the county lord say this, he immediately bowed his head and ordered Xiao Si to bring a black wooden box.

"The county lord is modest, everyone knows that the Hades is a domineering existence, and no one dares to mess with him when he walks across the streets. Even if you don't know martial arts, you can still have some small tricks. ”

General Hu opened the box as he spoke, only to see that a pearl inside was shining, round in color, crystal clear, and exuding a pink luster.

The county lord looked at the pearl and thought to himself, looking at the appearance of this pearl, it is very similar to the rumored life-saving pill, could it be the life-saving pill that her mother was looking for?

The Pill of Resurrection is not really able to bring the dead back to life, but can cure all diseases and prolong life.

She remembered that when she was a child, her father had been in poor health and was often sick, and her mother had been looking for a life pill in order for her father to be healthy and no longer suffering from illness, and she only hoped that her father could stay by her side for a longer time.

Later, my mother died on the battlefield, and my father was deeply shocked by the bad news, and it didn't take long for him to follow his mother.

The county lord looked at the treasure in the box at this moment, and asked suspiciously, "Lord Hu, this is ......?"

Master Hu said meaningfully: "This is a meeting gift from the lower official to the county lord."

Seeing Hu Qi's expression of reluctance to cut his love, the county lord confirmed what he thought in his heart, and this thing was the Resurrection Pill.

When the county lord heard this, he smiled: "Lord Hu is really generous, so the county lord is not welcome."

Such a good gift, it's really earned.

Lord Hu saw that everything she should have said had been said and the things had been sent out, but the county lord did not mention the matter of martial arts at all, so she asked tentatively: "County lord, what the lower official asked for......

The county lord smiled and said, she naturally understood what Hu Qi meant, so she said briskly:

"Lord Hu, this is easy to say, you understand the rules of the county king's mansion, take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. As Master Hu said, although the county lord does not know martial arts, he still knows a few tricks in embroidering his legs. ”

Lord Hu is distressed, the treasures he has treasured for many years have been given away like this.

Fortunately, the matter was done, and she could give an account to Her Majesty.

Master Hu smiled back and said, "Then there is Lord Lao."

Seeing that the matter was settled, the county lord got up and asked politely, "Do you want Lord Hu to stay in the county king's mansion for dinner?"

Lord Hu saw that the county lord took the lead in standing up, obviously in a posture of sending off guests, so she excused herself again and again: "The lower official still has urgent matters, so don't bother the county lord, the lower official will leave first."

Master Hu thought to himself: "She has to exchange treasures when she sees the county lord, if she really eats in the county king's mansion, I'm afraid she won't even have this skin today."

Sure enough, the rumors are true, and the county king's mansion does not make a loss-making transaction.

Seeing Lord Hu's resignation, the county lord was taking advantage of her intentions, so the county lord immediately said outside: "Come on, send off guests."

Then, two Xiao Si appeared and sent Hu Qi outside the house.

……

After Hu Qi left, the county lord picked up the bead and played with it casually, and wondered in his heart:

Does the Pill really have the effect of curing all diseases? It doesn't look like anything special, but it's very pleasant to the touch.

At this moment, the county lord suddenly thought of Chen Ziwei, Chen Ziwei also felt this way to the touch, slippery, like water, but Chen Ziwei was more soft and warm than it.

Then, the county lord remembered what happened to Chen Ziwei last night, so he angrily threw the beads in the box and covered them.

The county lord took the box and went directly to the study, and then she pushed open an inconspicuous lamppost next to her, and then a random gap opened under her feet, and a long staircase appeared inside, and the county lord walked down the stairs.

It is an underground collection room that houses the treasures that the county lord has collected over the years.

These rare treasures are placed in different positions according to their rarity, and the rarer they are, the higher they are.

When the county lord arrived at the collection room, he placed the box in the middle of the first floor at the top.

……

Xingchen Yuan, Chen Ziwei opened his eyes with difficulty, and a beam of light immediately shone in. He blinked, struggling to adjust to the blinding light.

Chen Ziwei knew that it was already dawn, but fortunately, he escaped last night.

He tried to get up, but his hands were unable to support his body, and he ended up on the bed.

Feeling his throat dry and unbearable, he shouted outside, "Wu Suppress, are you there?"

Wuji was guarding outside at the moment, and when he heard Chen Ziwei's call, he immediately ran to Chen Ziwei's side, and said happily: "Don Ma, you're awake, it's great, Wuji will go and tell the county lord."

Chen Ziwei was about to tell Wuji to hand him the water next to him, but before he could speak, he felt a very painful throat, and then Wuji ran out.

Alas, seeing that there was no one in the room, Chen Ziwei could only go and get water to drink by himself at this moment.

So, he stretched out his arm and moved towards the glass of water little by little, and as his arm lengthened, his body leaned towards the edge of the table.

As soon as his hand touched the teacup, Chen Ziwei was secretly happy that he would be able to arrive immediately. However, the teacup was shaking on the table at the moment due to the unstable center of gravity due to the touch of the fingers.

Eventually, there was a "pop", and the teacup shattered to the ground.

The county lord heard that Chen Ziwei was awake, so she rushed to Xingchen Garden, and as soon as she stepped into the door, a crisp sound of ceramic landing immediately came, and she was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly ran to the room, shouting worriedly:

"Ziwei, what's wrong?"
