"Buying an official?"

Wang Yuan looked at Jiang Lan puzzled

"Boss, aren't you the county magistrate now? What kind of official do you buy, and then it is Fu Yin, and let's go to Qingzhou to buy an official, you don't want to ask Liu Fatzi to buy his official position of Fu Yin, right? ”

"What do you want?"

Jiang Lan habitually slapped Wang Yuan again

"Liu Fatzi is greedy for money and not stupid, after yesterday's siege, I thought about it, we still need to have a garrison in Tiantai County, since the court is unwilling to send us troops, that's right, let's build our own army,"

"Although the militia brothers are brave and good at fighting, they are militia after all, and they can't be equipped with armored war horses, although sometimes they can take advantage of the sneak attack on the Northern Yan people, but after all, they can't confront the heavily armed Northern Yan Army head-on, otherwise the casualties will be too great."

"Boss, you mean, this time I went to Qingzhou to buy a military position?"

Wang Yuan asked

"Finally enlightened"

Jiang Lan said with a smile

"There is an old man who said that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and in this troubled world, having our own army is the king, otherwise, with the wealth of our Tiantai County, if the war starts, do we have enough military strength to protect ourselves, then it will become a big piece of fat, and everyone wants to come up and take a bite"

"It's not early, pack up your things and let's go"

"Okay, Boss"

Wang Yuan trotted to pack his things

Qingzhou Mansion is located at the north end of Southern Qin, under the jurisdiction of seven counties, Tiantai County is about a day's distance from Qingzhou Mansion, mainly because there are many mountain roads that are not easy to walk, so Tiantai County is an outpost for Southern Qin, and the imperial court is not concerned, of course, there is one of the biggest advantages that the imperial court does not levy taxes and levies on Tiannan County.

Therefore, after Jiang Lan came here, he only needed to stabilize the population, develop the trade of the Northern Yan caravans, and sell the tea, salt, ironware, and silk of the Southern Qin to the Northern Yan in exchange for cattle, sheep and horses.

Because salt and iron tools are strategic materials in Nanqin, they are not very easy to do, so Jiang Lan took the road of Yin Liu Li, Qingzhou Mansion, and slowly the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit, and Liu Li could get a lot of dividends from Jiang Lan every year, and gradually the two did not have the distinction between superiors and subordinates, of course, Jiang Lan never had this concept.

The two set off in the afternoon and headed for Qingcheng Mansion

"Boss, Lord Liu is in our Tiantai County today, why don't you tell him directly?"

Wang Yuan asked as he walked

"Look at that fat man, I can't wait to tie myself to that little girl's belt, then I can take care of other things"

Jiang Lan grabbed the reins of the horse and controlled the horse, and now he is becoming more and more proficient in riding

"Besides, the main thing about the military position is to go to the general of Qingzhou Mansion, and Liu Fatzi can help talk."

"Let's go, get to the station before dark"

After saying that, the two of them headed south

As soon as it was dark, the two rushed to the post station, but they didn't expect that Liu Li and Ying Rouyue's team was also resting at the post station, I thought that Liu Li would arrange to go all the way to Qingzhou Mansion, after all, it was safe only when they entered Qingcheng Mansion.

Jiang Lan didn't mean to alarm these people, so he asked Wang Yuan to find a post station and ask for a room and some food, and the two went to rest.

On the other side, Liu Li's head was also big, and after receiving Jiang Lan's news last night, he rushed to Tiantai County in a hurry, so he didn't bring many people. I wanted to rush overnight, but I picked up the princess early the next morning and set off immediately, so that I could return to Qingzhou after dark, but I didn't expect this aunt to be really bad at serving. I was delayed for a long time in Tiantai County, and there were many things on the road, but I only walked half the way in the afternoon, and I had no choice but to rest at the post station for one night.

Liu Li could only order his subordinates to be more vigilant and pray that there would be no accidents, otherwise the credit in hand would immediately become a great crime

I'm afraid of what's coming

At midnight, only a few thuds were heard, and several rockets were fired from outside the post station, shooting directly at the hay pile in the stables, and suddenly the post station was in flames, and the horses were frightened and scurried around.

I could only see Liu Li rushing out of the next room with one bare foot

"Protect the princess, quick, protect the princess"

Meng Shan led the guards to guard the door of Ying Rouyue's room

At this time, I vaguely saw more than a dozen black-clothed people climbing in from the wall outside the post station, and went straight to the room where Ying Rouyue was.

Meng Shan led a few guards and a few blacks to fight

At this time, Jiang Lan was also awakened by the noise outside

"I wanted to stay away from that broom star, but I still got bumped, and I knew that it was not good to walk with that little girl"

"Boss, what's wrong? Have we been attacked? ”

Wang Yuan also came at this time, leaning on the window and looking out

"It's not Ying Rouyue's girl, these people must be coming for her"

"Could it be someone from Beiyan?"

"It is estimated that the Beiyan people did not take advantage of us yesterday. If Ying Ruyue enters Qingzhou Mansion, they will definitely have no chance, and they can only make a move halfway before entering Qingzhou Mansion."

Jiang Lan said as he pulled out the steel knife from his waist

"Let's go, go over and help Fat Liu"

Jiang Lan didn't want to get involved in these bad things, but seeing that there were still people in black constantly turning in from outside the wall, Liu Fatzi came in a hurry this time, and there were not many people with him, so he was at a disadvantage after a while.

Jiang Lan and Wang Yuan sneaked to the back window of Ying Rouyue's room with their waists down

Jiang Lan pried open the back window only to see Ying Rouyue and Yan'er in the room nervously huddled together, looking out of the door, and there was still the sound of jingling bells outside the door

"Little girl, little girl"

Jiang Lan whispered inside

Ying Rouyue heard a voice, turned her head to look, and a head appeared in the back window and called her

"Dog official" Ying Rouyue barked

"What kind of official is the dog, go quickly, come out of the window" Jiang Lan said speechlessly, when will you lose your life and hold a grudge

Ying Rouyue pulled Yan'er out of the window

"Let's go, there's a place in the backyard to get out, come with me"

After speaking, Jiang Lan took the lead and went to the backyard

"This is the place to get out? Dog officer, you did it on purpose," Ying Rouyue asked Jiang Lan as she pointed to the dog hole in front of her

If it weren't for this critical juncture, she really suspected that Jiang Lan was deliberate

"If you can't climb, if you don't climb, you'll die here" Jiang Lan said and grabbed Ying Rouyue, regardless of her identity as a princess, and pushed it out directly from the dog hole, "Wang Yuan, you take them out first, take the path to Qingzhou Mansion, I'll go to the front to help"

"Boss, I'm with you," Wang Yuan said anxiously

"Don't talk nonsense, take them away first, I'll go to the front to find Liu Fatzi and catch up immediately"

Jiang Lan kicked Wang Yuan and motioned for him to hurry up, and turned around and ran to the front yard

The fierce battle in the front yard was in full swing, and even Liu Li also brought a knife to the field, although Liu Li was a civil official, but he was born in a family of military generals, and he served as the governor of the border, so he would be able to make a few hits

Jiang Lan saw the opportunity to cut down a man in black who was about to sneak attack Liu Li

"Fat Liu," Jiang Lan shouted

"Hey, Lao Jiang, why are you here?"

"I'm behind you, I thought you had all arrived in Qingzhou, but I didn't expect to be grinding here, if I don't come, you won't be able to explain your more than 400 catties here."
