Chapter 59: Wu Tongsheng
The mountain rain came for a while, rested for a while, and was capricious.
Even the most experienced mountaineers find it difficult to grasp the volatile climate of the mountains, which have four seasons and ten miles of different days.
"But—"
"I'm afraid that the changes in the clouds of this heaven and earth are not only affected by the temperature and terrain, right?"
Chen Che pondered.
Tonight's sudden mountain rain is strange, and it may be a precursor to a large-scale spiritual sheep tribulation.
On the other hand, the imminent war between the military and the barbarians in Hejian County is the specific location of the Lingyang Tribulation.
As for the fuse......
"It was Jiang Boyu who was killed!"
"The remaining three brothers of the Jiang family, two are officials, and one is an official in the county, since they know that the murderer is a barbarian, they will definitely do their best to mobilize the relationship between all parties and support the Qin County Lieutenant to attack Xiongxi, then, without the restraint of Wenchen, the possibility of war breaking out will be greatly increased."
As soon as the words fell.
Zhao Ru shouted softly:
"Brother Che, someone is looking for you."
"Here we are."
Chen Che walked out of the room, but saw a familiar figure.
"Lord Chen, your martial arts boy has been approved, and the clothes and waist cards are all in the car", in front of the courtyard gate, Zhao Xiong stood beside the carriage and smiled respectfully: "Later, if you are free, go to the mountain patrol division with the subordinates, there is an adult in the pavilion, I want to meet you." ”
"Oh, who is it?"
Chen Che was shocked.
Zhao Xionghammer knew everything and replied:
"It's the Jiang master."
"Got it."
Chen Che nodded.
The "Jiang Master Book" mentioned by Zhao Xionghammer is the second of the four brothers of the Jiang family, called Jiang Zhongqiao.
Serving in Hejian County, he was awarded the position of the chief bookkeeper of the horse for the sake of cultivating a silver-blooded horse, and his rank was higher than that of the ninth grade.
In the new horse farm opened in the county, he personally raised nearly 100 large and small horses, which was an important source of income for the government.
Zhao Xionghammer took off the martial arts boy shirt from the carriage, and in addition, there was an ebony waist card.
And said:
"Wu Tongsheng's status is much higher than that of Wen Tongsheng, and he can be tax-exempt for one acre, and if it is a mountain field, he can be tax-exempt for five acres."
"Not bad."
Chen Che can't look down on the income of a few acres of land, but when he has time in the future, it is okay to plant a few acres of tea fields and keep them for his own drinking.
He quickly changed his clothes, put on a newly made ebony waist card, and officially became a martial artist under the name of the Dajing Dynasty.
Although it is a shadow quota, the result is the same, and he has the qualifications to be an official.
Zhao Ru's eyes flashed and praised:
"People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, but Brother Che changed his clothes, and he seems to be handsome all of a sudden."
"Okay."
Chen Che smiled, and he couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart.
Soon.
The two of them ran along the stone road and went to the mountain patrol division overnight.
On the way, Zhao Xionghammer thought about it and revealed in a low voice:
"Master Jiang came on horseback overnight, it should be for the death of the eldest brother."
"I'll save it."
The two of them hurried to the Mountain Patrol Division.
Among the more than a dozen exquisite attics, the middle attic, lit with incense burners, filled with purple smoke, is the destination of this trip.
"Please come with your subordinates."
Chen Che followed Zhao Xionghammer and walked into the attic hall together, but found that he was not alone, but also more than a dozen hunters in the town, as well as Ji Wufeng, a high-class guest, and his heart suddenly widened.
No matter what Master Jiang had in mind, since he had attracted so many people, there was a lot more room for choice.
"Lord Chen, Zhang really didn't expect that the yellow wolf spirit that constantly harmed people would actually be killed by you?"
Chen Che turned his head, but saw Zhang Baolong, who was known as the first Orion in the town, a handsome young man with a slender figure like a fish, who was said to have stepped into the Blood Brave Pass.
Zhang Baolong was a little envious and continued:
"I searched in the mountains for a long time, and finally bumped into it once, but I got lost and missed the opportunity."
Did you get hit by a ghost? …… Chen Che couldn't help but laugh secretly.
The yellow skin is clever and careful, but as long as the Orion and Mountain Patrol Division are stronger, it will never come forward.
And at that time, he was just a strong martial artist.
If you put aside the young eagle, the method of leading the shepherd, and "Three Styles of Zhenshan", your strength is not strong.
That's why they will be approached to "beg for a seal".
Come to think of this.
Chen Che gave an honest answer:
"It's just a matter of luck."
"Isn't luck part of strength?" , Zhang Baolong sighed: "It's too dangerous and tiring to be an Orion, and being an official is the most stable, I have no background in martial arts, but I have no official to do." ”
Of course, having said that, Zhang Baolong, who had caught and killed Zhu Polong, still felt that he was the first hunter in Liuyang Town.
Soon.
The noise in the hall gradually stopped.
A middle-aged official in a green robe walked slowly into the hall and sat in the first place.
The audience was silent.
Chen Che, Ji Wufeng and Zhang Baolong are relatively special, either martial arts boys, or they are officials, so it can be seen that officials do not worship.
The rest of the hunters bowed in unison.
The person who came was the chief bookkeeper of Hejian County, Jiang Zhongqiao.
"There is one thing that has brought many talents this time, and I hope everyone can actively participate in it and contribute to the hundreds of thousands of people in Hejian County......
He took a sip of his tea and winked at the officials.
After a while, more than a dozen hunters present sat down one after another, and their expressions relaxed slightly.
Chen Che, Ji Wufeng and Zhang Baolong sat in the front row.
Jiang Zhongqiao looked at Ji Wufeng, his face was gentle:
"Mr. Ji, tell me what happened to you in the afternoon."
"Okay."
Ji Wufeng's expression was blank, and he said slowly:
"The old man was at the foot of the Evil Sun Mountain, and finally caught up with the barbarian, caught and killed, and could be regarded as having the upper hand.
But it didn't take long for seven brute beasts to pounce on the old man.
There are three of them alone, and the rest can also be called alien beasts. ”
"They all started together, even if the old man's knife skills were exquisite, they were also invincible with two knives and ten claws, so they had to retreat."
Between the words, I can't help but feel a little frustrated.
Jiang Zhongqiao tapped the mahogany table top with his fingers, making a crisp sound, which immediately attracted the attention of more than a dozen people, including Chen Che.
With a slight sense of oppression that is natural to his superiors, he spoke:
"Mr. Ji is quite sophisticated, before leaving, he threw a special smell mark on the seven brute beasts, even if he washed it with water, it would be difficult to disperse."
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you can hunt these seven brute beasts for the 100,000 people of my Hejian County, you will be rewarded."
Hear here.
Chen Che had a faint guess.
Jiang Zhushu is not in a hurry to make a move, but plans to use his own authority to gradually weaken the enemy's strength, cut off his wings, and wait until the war breaks out, and then find an opportunity to retaliate?
is worthy of being a civil official, and the truth of "a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late" is very well grasped.
Subsequently.
Jiang Zhongqiao clapped his palms, and the two officials understood, and immediately took out a full seven list texts, all of which were written according to Ji Wufeng's description.
There are flying eagles, iron-boned rabbits, and the most valuable of them is a pig dragon.
Reward silver, ranging from 20 taels to 50 taels of silver.
A group of hunters were immediately overjoyed, even the first hunter in Liuyang Town, Zhang Baolong, couldn't bear the desire for dozens of taels of silver, and immediately took action and grabbed the most valuable list.
"Master Chen, you have other arrangements."
Under the envious gaze of a group of hunters, Chen Che was summoned by Jiang Zhongqiao to another room, where he sat and drank tea and chatted.
is also an official, Jiang Zhongqiao's attitude is suddenly much kinder.
Not with the condescending attitude of "handing out tasks", he smiled slightly:
"Lord Chen, Qin County Wei intends to open up the area of Xiangu Mountain, Tiger Forest and Xianniang Creek to open up new fields for the people.
He heard about your deeds from the old owner Fan and praised you as a young man.
I also heard that you had served in the temple office, so I wanted to give you a military merit.
Within seven days, you will be asked to lead twenty elite soldiers to investigate the secrets behind the mountain temple. ”
"If it's just a broken temple, tear it down; If the mountain god is not dead and there is something special, he will notify the old owner of Fan and let him solve it. ”
"Afterwards, there will be a reward for military merits."
After speaking.
Jiang Zhongqiao took out an iron warrant from the package he was carrying.
The word "Qin" was engraved on it, and it was handed over to Chen Che, and said that with this thing, the soldiers stationed in Liuyang Town could be mobilized.
"Although Lord Chen is the temple office of the mountain patrol division, after all, he is a small flag officer, which belongs to the military position, and the mobilization of soldiers can be regarded as in line with the rules."
Chen Che took the iron warrant, and couldn't help but suddenly wonder, did the meritorious service that the old owner Fan said originally mean this?
It is also clearly aware that:
The pace of war is near.
