Chapter 363: Petition for Nomination

"Driving~driving~"

Twenty-one sturdy military horses galloped in, and the smoke and dust were billowing like rainbows, although there were only twenty-one horses, the momentum was like an army.

Some pedestrians outside Luling County wanted to hide from afar, and even some guards at the city gate were so frightened that they hid on both sides.

"Huh~~"

The riders controlled their horses to slow down, and when they reached the city gate, the speed of the twenty-one horses had slowed down.

The people near the gate watched the soldiers on horseback in awe, and twenty-one horses strolled towards the gate, each of which was clearly audible in its violent gasps.

Duan Silie frowned and looked at the Luling County official who was shrinking to the side, the yamen here is at this level? The officials had no energy.

"The Chu County Order in your county can be in the yamen?"

The foreman hurriedly stepped forward and answered.

"Master Huijun, here, the county lord should handle official business in the yamen."

"Hmm!"

Duan Silie nodded, and then looked at his own soldiers in the rear.

"Everyone, dismount."

A group of soldiers got down from their horses to soothe their muscles, and then led their horses into the city with their own generals, until the group of cavalry left, and there was a lot of discussion near the city gate.

In the Yazhong of Luling County, Chu Hang stopped the pen in his hand and looked at the subordinates who came to report in a slightly surprised manner.

"General Duan of the Wuwei battalion is here? How many people did you bring? ”

The official hurriedly replied.

"Back to my lord, I only brought twenty people."

"Let's go, take me there!"

Chu Hang put the pen on the shelf and stood up by himself, his letter should not have arrived at the Governor's Mansion yet, at most, it had only arrived, so this General Duan must have already set off, and it was not because of his letter that he came.

At this moment, Duan Silie was already outside the public hall of the Yamen, with only a few personal soldiers around him, while the rest of the people were watching horses on the street outside the Yamen.

Duan Silie looked at the situation inside and outside the public hall, this Luling County Ya should have not been repaired for a long time, but a large plaque inside the public hall was obviously new, or the words on it were new.

"The mirror hangs high."

Duan Silie muttered and read it, the handwriting was very powerful.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came, Duan Silie looked for the sound, and when he saw this Lord Chu who had heard of the name for a long time, he couldn't help but make his eyes light up.

Even if Chu Hang is not a person who practices martial arts, in the eyes of a martial artist of Duan Silie's realm, his spirit is far fuller than ordinary people, and he is by no means idle at first glance.

"I have seen Lord Chu, in the lower section of the heir, on the order of the governor of the capital in Beicang Prefecture to choose a place to train the camp of the new army, after inspecting Luling County, I only feel that this place is the most suitable, and I have heard the name of Lord Chu for a long time, so I came to visit first!"

"General Duan is polite, Chu is naturally helping!"

Duan Silie's name is actually not small, Chu Hang has also done his homework before, and knows that he is a capable general under the Metropolitan Governor.

Moreover, Chu Hang had seen Duan Silie more than ten years ago, so he said with a smile.

"At the Yuezhou Martial Arts Conference that year, Chu also had a glimpse of General Duan's demeanor, but I didn't expect us to work together in the northwest today, it's really fate!"

Duan Silie's eyes lit up.

"Oh? Lord Chu also went to the martial arts conference back then? ”

At the beginning, it was not only the warriors who went to Yuezhou, but also the literati and scholars, just to see the style of "Mountains and Rivers Immortal Furnace", but unfortunately, the platform was too high, and there were too few people who were qualified to appreciate it at close range, and the painting behind it was lost, so many literati were disappointed.

"Yes, my uncle served as the chief bookkeeper in Yuanjiang County in Yuezhou back then, and I was also in Yuezhou at the time of the martial arts conference, so naturally I went to see it, and I was impressed by the martial arts of Jianghu Ke!"

Duan Silie smiled.

"Looking back on the past, it seems like it was just yesterday"

With this period of the past, the distance between civil and military officials has also quickly narrowed, and it is natural to become familiar with it quickly, and Chu Hang also took the opportunity to explain some things that are only convenient to say face-to-face.

Duan Silie's expression slowly became serious, and after listening to it, he looked at Chu Hangdao.

"Does Lord Chu have any evidence?"

Chu Hang shook his head.

"In fact, there is no empirical evidence, it's just too coincidental in time, there are not many incidents in Luling County, so I subconsciously associate it, and it makes sense, but after all, this matter is chasing the wind and shadows, so I didn't explain it to the governor in the letter."

"Well, I'm going to see the corpse, I don't know if it's inconvenient?"

"Please!"

Duan Silie went to the morgue with Chu Hang and the Yamen Servants, plus the arrest fast, and Chu Hang's calm expression during the whole process also convinced Duan Silie that this person was different from ordinary civil officials.

For most of the next day, in the absence of clues, Chu Hang and Duan Silie only discussed some work matters with each other, and in the evening, they were in a restaurant in the city to wash the dust for Duan Silie.

The accompaniment of wine and meat dishes also made this group of dusty soldiers, who were not often able to drink alcohol in the barracks before, very happy.

In a small courtyard in the corner of the west of Luling County, there are several people gathered in the living room at this moment, and the things they are discussing are also related to what happened in Changfeng Mansion before.

A small lamp swirls around the table, casting shadows across the room.

"Is there really an immortal in the world who keeps a book?" "It can't be fake, right?"

"It's a bit ridiculous, but after all, it was the man who summoned him back, so he has to be treated with caution!"

"Is the book really lost?"

The man who had just spoken shook his head.

"Zhao Yuansong is not stupid, he may have reacted at the moment of escape, knowing that he was treated as an outcast and made a sacrifice, so he is probably not dead yet, and the corpse on the ship is not him at all!"

"You mean, he ran away with the fairy book?"

The person who spoke at the beginning nodded.

"If there really is an immortal book, it must be so!"

As he spoke, the leader looked left and right.

"What happened to you two days ago, and it was revealed?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid that Zhao Yuansong secretly used his strength after escaping, in order to make us mess up for a while, so that he could interfere with his sight and go home to make arrangements! Otherwise, we will never be exposed! ”

"It's really possible, but you can't underestimate the people of Dayong Jianghu, I heard you say that last time that person actually died with one enemy and two of our people, it is obviously not simple."

After a few more discussions, it was still the new leader who was humane.

"In short, if the matter of the Fu Xianshu is true, the Chu family may have read it, and it is necessary to arrest the Luling County Order and ask about it!"

Even afterwards, you can blame the people of Dayong Jianghu, after all, the Chu family's so-called miracle secret policy has also spread widely in Changfeng Mansion, and then pass on the cheats in it, it is not bad to blame the people of Dayong Jianghu, this kind of thing has not been done.

"My lord, there are some sergeants here today!"

"Oh? Who is here and how many soldiers and horses are there? ”

"There are not many people, about twenty horsemen, but I don't know who came, but it is definitely not a pawn, so the county order set up a banquet in the restaurant, it should be a military attaché."

The leader nodded slightly.

"I'll go check it out!"

——

The banquet lasted until the moon was scarce, and the hearty laughter of the sergeants could be heard outside the restaurant.

At this moment, it is already deep, there are no other diners in the restaurant, only a few tables in the hall on the second floor are still eating.

Duan Silie has changed his opinion of Chu Hang again, a civil official, the amount of alcohol is so good, he didn't drink less wine tonight, even his own soldiers were already drunk for the most part, and the rest stopped drinking because they had to take care of the drunk.

But Chu Hang, a literati, was only slightly drunk, and his consciousness was sober enough.

"Lord Chu has a good amount of alcohol, and there are few military attachés in the army who are as powerful as you, Duan admires it! Please! ”

Duan Silie raised his glass to invite, and Chu Hang did not refuse, and he drank it with the other party with the word "please", and then said with a smile.

"Although this wine is acceptable, the strength of the wine is far worse than that of Dengzhou's picky wine, there is a chance another day, I will get some really good wine, and then treat General Duan!"

"Hahahahaha, refreshing! Duan likes to deal with people like you! ”

The two restaurant guys a little farther away, one yawned against the pillar, and the other simply lay on the empty table, listening to the rest of the table chatting, and ready to serve at any time.

Outside, in the shadow of an eaves in the far side of the restaurant, someone was watching the lights on the restaurant.

The laughter and laughter on the side of the restaurant can also be faintly transmitted here.

Several people have been observing here for a long time, and they are also whispering secretly at the moment.

"Such a way to drink, I'm afraid that even a cow will get drunk, maybe it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, tonight is a good opportunity to start!"

"Indeed!"

It's just that what they don't know is that someone has already discovered them and is secretly observing this group of people.

Pei Changtian was lying on the roof in the distance, his body was close to the horizontal strip of the roof, hiding in the shadow, he didn't happen to meet it, but he had been paying attention to the county government almost all the time during this time, or Chu Hang.

First, I kept an eye on it, and secondly, I also wanted to have a good chat with Chu Hang, but there was a surprise tonight.

That's a good vote!

Thinking so, Pei Changtian restrained his urge to cough again.
