Meng Changqing looked at the east and west, and finally walked east on crutches.

Xi Bei followed her half a step behind her with a knife, always guarding.

The others were not as nervous as Xi Bei, and looked left and right with Meng Changqing's gaze, but they didn't understand what she was looking at for a long time.

Meng Changqing has been practicing martial arts all year round, and he has perseverance, and he can walk more than ten miles on crutches, and the palms of his hands are red.

The group came to the junction of the two counties, and further on, it was the city wall of Hongjia County.

The guards on the city wall are also the officers and soldiers of Hongjia County.

"Lord Meng." It happened that a guard officer on duty knew Meng Changqing, and when he saw her on crutches, he immediately asked, "What's wrong with your feet?" ”

"Got some minor injuries." Meng Changqing said a word, and then asked, "Are you Hua adults in the county government?" ”

"Yes." The guard officer asked, "What are you looking for my lord?" ”

Meng Changqing exerted force on one foot, and the hand that had been on crutches was behind him and shook it quietly, "I think Hongjia County and Beishan County are only separated by a wall, I have been here for more than a year, and I have never been to Hongjia County."

I'm sorry for you to send someone back to ask Lord Hua, I want to go to Hongjia County, and I ask Lord Hua for permission. ”

"Uh...... Yes, I'll let people go to the yamen. Then the officer turned his head and gave orders to his men, and saw him gallop down the wall, mount his horse, and go.

Meng Changqing stood on the city wall at the junction and looked towards the interior of Hongjia County.

Beneath the walls were the garrison's camps, and a few miles further on there were field villages.

"Master Meng, wait a minute, our county government is not far from here, and a letter will be sent back soon."

Meng Changqing originally planned to turn around after mentioning it, but when he heard him say this, he simply sat down on the wall, "Then I'll wait." ”

Sure enough, Meng Changqing hadn't chatted with the guard for long, and the man had changed horses and returned to the wall just now.

"Look, this is back." The guard stood up and met his subordinates who were panting and running this way, "What did you say, my lord?" ”

The soldier took a deep breath and replied in a loud voice: "My lord said that he was naturally welcome, and I heard that Lord Meng was waiting on the wall, so I immediately put down what I was doing and came here, I was afraid that Lord Meng would wait for a long time, so let me report first." ”

After hearing this, the guard asked Meng Changqing to go down the city wall from their side.

In other people's homes, Meng Changqing held the shelf of the county, and he couldn't use himself as a stone to go up and down, so he could only walk honestly from the steps.

Before she could get underground, she heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the group came quickly.

The person at the front was wearing a cloak, and after getting off the horse, he didn't even have time to hand over the whip to the person next to him, and ran in front of Meng Changqing in a few steps, and the hat covering his head slid down, revealing the gray hair inside.

He stretched out his hand to hold Meng Changqing's hand that was not on crutches, and scolded at his people: "I don't have eyes, I didn't see Lord Meng's foot injured, I don't know how to get a chair to lift Lord Meng down!" ”

"Flower-sama." Meng Changqing held his arm, "No, don't bother." ”

Following the strength of Hua Rujin, Meng Changqing went down the last few steps, and when he stood still on the flat ground, Meng Changqing saluted Hua Rujin and said, "I haven't seen Lord Hua for a long time." ”

"Long time no see." Hua Rujin patted her shoulder, "You have lost a lot of weight, do you have a serious foot injury?" ”

"It's not serious, it will get better in a few days." Meng Changqing said a sentence, and said: "The last time I met you, I was still in the Liangzhou Mansion, and what I did at that time was inappropriate, and I thought you couldn't easily forgive me." ”

"Whew." Hua Rujin sighed, "Don't talk about the past." His gaze fell on Meng Changqing's feet again, and he asked someone to bring a stool and sit down in the leeward place with Meng Changqing, "My carriage is behind, and you can take the carriage to me later." ”

"Excuse me." Meng Changqing explained, "When I came to visit, I should have said hello in advance......

Before he finished speaking, he saw Hua Rujin waving his hand, "We have known each other for a short time, so there is no need to say polite words." ”

Meng Changqing replied with a smile: "Yes, yes!" ”

"You've been to Liangzhou for more than a year, and you haven't been to any other county except Yangmen County, right?" Hua Rujin asked with a smile, took the two cups of tea in the guard's hand, and handed one of them to Meng Changqing in person.

Meng Changqing took it with both hands and said: "I have also been to Weishan County, and it is also for the population. Meng Changqing reminded, "My lord forgot, there are more than 1,000 people in my county, and they moved from Yuanxi Town, Weishan County. ”

"Oh, yes!" Hua Rujin said: "I remember. Then he asked, "How?" You're here this time, too, for the sake of the population? ”

"No, no." Meng Changqing hurriedly explained, "I'm here to learn the way of adults governing the county.

Today I stand on the city wall and look down, I can only see a piece of loess in Beishan County, and when I get to you, I can see the farmland houses from a distance, I think this is like a place to live, so I have the cheekiness to ask you for advice. ”

Hua Rujin thought about it and politely refused: "Everyone is the same county, what can I teach you?" ”

"Flower-sama." Meng Changqing saluted him, "After I came to Liangzhou, although I didn't have much contact with you, your character is well known, and I admire you very much."

As soon as you said that we don't need to be polite, then I want to say something honest.

Although my father was a general, but he died early, I was not able to learn the slightest skill from his side, although I was under the care of His Majesty when I was a child, and I was able to study with the princes, but after all, what I learned was only the content of books.

How does a county grow from scratch? How is it governed? The book did not mention in detail, although I took the position of magistrate, I could open my eyes to Beishan County every day, and my heart was really hesitant.

Lord Hua, I thought of a stupid way to see how other counties were laid out, so that even if I didn't understand, I could pretend to have a rough appearance. ”

"You're really not smart enough." Hua Rujin explained that each place is special, and because of its function or layout of the terrain setting, it cannot be rigidly copied to Beishan County.

"But it's really your side, there's nothing." Hua Rujin patted the ash on the cloak, and a carriage was coming in the distance, "Since you are here, then I will take you to see Hongjia County, so as to give you a reference." (End of chapter)
