Qingyang County has a county-level yamen, often in which the people who sit in the town are martial artists at the level of qi training, known as catching fast, and the rest of the people who are not in the realm of practicing qi are all yamen, or called negative bamboo, this title is a metaphor for the image, according to the official rank of the yamen of the Dali Dynasty, the back of the yamen is often carried by a black Yuan bamboo, which is also the source of the title of "negative bamboo".

And now Zhou Chen can only see the officials, as for the catch, he is not qualified to see it. To go to the Yamen of Qingyang County, you need to report to the military region first, and only after obtaining permission can you pass.

In the back hall of the Ya Gong, a white-clothed Yamen master was holding a pen and writing on a roll of bamboo slips: "Zhou Chen, the scout army of the Baoqing Military Division, is now assigned to the Qingyang County Border Pass Reserve Transport Army, no rank, at three o'clock at noon on October 15, 407 in the first year of Dali, looking for Baoqing County to arrest Liu Xiao, and sign and draw today." ”

This is the relationship between the yamen and the military is very delicate, in order to avoid suspicion, such a search generally needs to go through procedures, and if the status is high to a certain point, these cumbersome steps can also be bypassed.

After sitting in the back hall and waiting for about half an hour, I could hear the officials come to report that Liu Xiao had set off soon, and he would be able to arrive in half an hour, but Zhou Chen needed to pay two yuan for communication expenses. Zhou Chen didn't care about this, and after paying the two yuan happily, the Yamen master's expression softened a lot, not like the businesslike attitude just now, and he was very enthusiastic about getting started with Zhou Chen.

"How old is Yu Elder You, so I shouted at you Brother Chen, I don't know which tribe Brother Chen belongs to?" The master shook the fan lightly, with a smile on his face.

Zhou Chen bowed his head slightly and said, "The Shishan tribe is the aboriginal next to the Qingshui River. ”

"Sure enough, they are all tribes next to the Qingshui River, I went to Baoqing County three years ago to participate in the literary examination, but unfortunately I failed in the re-examination, and I got the job of the master of Qingyang County, and now I don't have to worry about food and clothing. The master sighed and said, the failure of the literary examination is probably the eternal mustard in the hearts of the literati.

"Where is it, the master is modest, unlike the younger brother, a few days ago he was robbed, met a different race, and survived by luck, no, he came to report safety immediately. Zhou Chenxu and the snake slowly chatted with the master, but his eyes always glanced out of the door inadvertently.

After chattering for a long time, the big drum at the yamen was also beaten, and then the master hurriedly got up and said as he walked: "Ah, Brother Chen, you see that my brother is busy again, so I can only let you sit alone, I'm really sorry, this yamen, it's like this every day." ”

"It's okay, Master will go first, I'll just wait here by myself. Zhou Chen also got up and sent it to the door, and then turned back.

......

Before the master came down to the hall, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and when he heard the sound, he could feel that the footsteps of the person who came were very steady, and he was a martial artist. Liu Xiao took generous steps, step by step, since he received Zhou Chen's letter of safety, he knew that there must be something to ask for, and he originally planned to shirk it.

However, Zhou Chen is now a reserve transport army, so he quickly thought that the transport team was attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses, among which many captains and ten commanders were martyred, so he hesitated a little in his heart, until he received a message from his friend and deputy general, saying that Zhou Chen was performing very well and might have entered the faction of the four princes, so he hurriedly left.

When he came to the back hall, he saw the young man sitting on a wooden chair. Seeing this young man, Liu Xiao was slightly stunned, although he had not seen him for more than three months, he felt that this young man seemed to be much stronger than before.

When Zhou Chen raised his eyes to look at Liu Xiao, the eyes of the two met, Liu Xiao finally confirmed the truth of the information, and there was a lot more murderous aura in the eyes of this young man!

Stepping into the door, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Xiao's mouth, and he said with a smile: "My nephew is really extraordinary, I said goodbye that day, my uncle was very reluctant, but fortunately, my nephew is extremely talented and has made a lot of fame in the new barracks." ”

"I have to thank my uncle for his recommendation, if there is no uncle, my nephew is afraid that he is still hunting in the mountains for a living. Zhou Chen got up and saluted, and replied with a smile.

"Well, yes, yes! I'm a lot more handsome now. ”

Liu Xiao couldn't stop nodding and praised. The appearance of praise is like a biological father.

Zhou Chen smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand, and said, "Uncle, please take a seat!"

I was stunned for a long time by Zhou Chen's sudden move, and at the same time secretly thought in my heart, could it be that this kid is planning to blackmail me. Thinking of this, Liu Xiao was a little vigilant, and as he walked to his seat, he pondered the deep meaning behind Zhou Chen's frequent etiquette.

He clearly remembered that when they first met in Shishan Village, Zhou Chen had never called him an uncle, and even if he brought him into the army, he had never seen him so polite. Today, I am an uncle, if I have nothing to ask for, I don't believe it if I kill myself.

"I don't know what my nephew has to invite today?" Liu Xiao sat down, picked up the tea, blew slightly, and asked casually.

"Ahem, uncle, it's a long story, and my nephew will make a long story short. Recently, there has been a big competition in the army, and my nephew wants to compete for the position of the ten captains, so he needs some pills to assist, but my nephew is poor and white, and he still lacks 5,000 yuan, I wonder if my uncle can solve my nephew's urgent need?" Walking back and forth for two steps, Zhou Chen suddenly asked with a dry smile.

It can be said that since coming to this world, Zhou Chen has never borrowed money, even if it is Zhou Yan, he has never borrowed it. There was no rich acquaintance in the army, so he had to hit Liu Xiao with his thoughts.

"Dabi in the army, a certain person also heard about it. After pondering for a moment, Liu Xiao put the tea bowl in his hand back on the table, "What about the money, it's not that you don't borrow it, but five thousand yuan, you really can't take it, it's better for your nephew to say the medicinal materials you need, and you can guarantee some medicinal materials on credit." For the rest, so-and-so can pay for you, what do you think?"

"My nephew didn't want to trouble my uncle, but a few days ago, Rin'er was bullied, and I asked for that person's life, and his husband was the captain of the army, and now I don't fight for the tenth captain, but I'm afraid that my nephew's net worth and life will be broken. Zhou Chen's expression sank, and he said with a little sadness.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiao was shocked, and he only felt that his blood was surging, and he said secretly: "This kid is so ruthless, I'm afraid that the achievement will not stop here, if you help him, he may not be able to take the boat of the four princes in the future, and the Li family will have to bow down in front of someone!"

As a son-in-law, his status is already embarrassing, if he doesn't have the identity of Baoqing County, I am afraid that in the Li family, Liu Xiao is no different from a servant. He was already ambitious, and he was naturally unwilling to be a son-in-law for a lifetime, so he was gambling and betting that Zhou Chen would be able to soar. He is getting older and older, and his martial arts cultivation has not increased in the past few years, but he is afraid that in another twenty years, if he does not improve, he is afraid that his qi and blood will decay, and he really has no ability to stir up the tide.

"In this way, I will borrow some Liyuan, first for you to gather all the medicinal materials, give up your face, and then ask for a Guyuan Pill for you, so that you can quickly enter the pure blood period and stabilize your cultivation, so that you may not have the strength to fight for the position of the ten-master. ”

Liu Xiao squinted slightly, and tapped his fingers on the table. He deliberately said that it was difficult to talk about the process, in order to have the confidence to raise prices in the future.

Zhou Chen is naturally a smart person, and immediately followed Liu Xiao's wishes and said: "Uncle is very gracious, my nephew will definitely be rewarded in the future!"

"Haha, with my nephew's words, I was relieved. The hour is not early, so let's get together from Yuan first, and go with my nephew tomorrow. Liu Xiao raised his hand slightly to Zhou Chen, signaling that the etiquette could be pointed, and then took the lead out of the back hall.

Sitting in the back hall, Zhou Chen still didn't move, he stared at Liu Xiao who was striding away, smiled lightly, and muttered to himself: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, all for profit, even so, we have to collect interest tomorrow!"
