Seeing Qin Ke frowning, he hurriedly added: "Of course, if you think that this yamen is too small and want to go to a bigger place to show what you have learned, of course I will also write you a letter of recommendation, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely make great achievements in the future." ”

Qin Ke was dumbfounded, in fact, he had found out that Cai Yan was frowning at him just now, and he was still a little puzzled, now it seems that Cai Yan had already seen the intention of the county order, so he acted like this.

For the county magistrate, there is already the responsibility of recommending talents, and even when the recommended person is good enough to make contributions in the future, he will also be promoted accordingly, which is a glorious thing.

However, Qin Ke really didn't have much interest, so he politely refused: "My lord's kindness, I understand it." However, I am only staying temporarily when I go back to the village, and I will have to leave in a few days. ”

The county commander nodded, his eyes showed a little regret, and he turned his head to look at Cai Yan in a moment, as if he understood something, and said with a slight smile: "It's me who has a lot of trouble, and now your identity is definitely not an ordinary person, where do you need to be recommended by others?"

Qin Ke's face was slightly embarrassed, and he thought to himself that if he really didn't open which pot to mention, why should everyone misunderstand their relationship with Cai Yan? Could it be that he had to hang a sign on his body and write a clear understanding on it?

But he soon realized that there were few literate people in the village, and the only ones who could read were taught by his master......

With a sigh, Qin Ke shrugged his shoulders, didn't bother to explain again, and said with a smile: "Anyway, thank you for your kindness." ”

The county order was not easy to force, so he smiled freely, and left after a few idle words.

In the small courtyard, Cai Yan stroked the puppy's head, tilted his head slightly and smiled: "You really haven't thought about being an official or something?"

Qin Ke raised his head to look at the sky, and smiled helplessly: "Forget it, where am I that piece of material? As an official, a long-sleeved person like Lao Gao who is good at dancing will definitely be able to." As for being a general...... That was what Abu had always wanted. ”

Cai Yan laughed: "Forget it, if that guy Gao is an official, he will definitely steal and cheat every day and not work, and use his power for personal gain and small gains." ”

......

The days in the small countryside are as plain as a light cloud on the horizon, light and soft, without the undercurrent of Jinzhou, nor as colorful as Ding'an City in the Tang Kingdom, and the relaxing air lingers around them all the time.

In the morning, the sun rises on the other side of the mountain like a yellow-orange-orange egg yolk, and the fiery red clouds are dyed with a layer of pale golden woods.

Cai Yan always yawned and went back to sleep after watching the sunrise, while Qin Ke took advantage of this time to cook the porridge, took out a little pickled and crispy radish from the crockpot, and then called her up, and the two sat opposite each other and had a beautiful breakfast.

In the following time, the two of them were either fishing in the creek or fish pond, or going up the mountain and walking in various places, Qin Ke even took her to the entrance of the Yewang Mausoleum once because of Cai Yan's strong request.

The deep cave had been buried for the most part of the cave, and even the blind fish in the stream had disappeared, and it was difficult to recreate the dazzling and magnificent scene in the dark.

But Qin Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least the giant snakes in King Ye's tomb, the Ye King who was not human or ghostly, the divine dragon, and the snake group...... They were all buried under those thousands of stones, buried in the deep belly of the mountain.

But the next period of time turned out to be a little uneventful.

For reasons that only Qin Ke knew, some giant snakes and giant ants appeared in the mountains around Daoxiang Village from time to time, which was a disaster, although none of them could get close to the level of demon transformation like last time, but it was amazing enough.

Fortunately, the county order was reported in a timely manner, and there was the previous big snake corpse as evidence, and the county directly sent 500 soldiers to go up the mountain to clean up, killing nearly ten big snakes at one time, and this disaster was basically pacified.

And Qin Ke also made a nickname in this battle to eliminate snakes and ants, you know, in such a poor and remote place, it is rare to have a strong person who can produce a cultivation realm that is almost a small grandmaster, and later, even the county guard sent someone to ask Qin Ke if he planned to join the army to make contributions.

Of course, Qin Ke still politely declined, after all, he also knew that he still had the heavy responsibility of finding his master, and besides, the officialdom and the army had never been his favorite place.

But it's a pity that this county guard is obviously no more free and easy than the county order, and is more tough, not only was he not discouraged, but he sent people to invite him again and again, and it seems that he has made up his mind to ask Qin Ke to be his personal guard.

"I've expressed several times that I don't want to go, could it be that I said it too tactfully?" Qin Ke looked at the silver money on his desk, this was all the "kindness" of the county guard, but behind this kindness was to let himself go on an errand for him, he really couldn't accept it.

Cai Yan lay on the polished wooden floor, holding a scroll of books in both hands, and giggled while reading: "Do you want to know why?"

Qin Ke was stunned, looked at Cai Yan and asked strangely, "You know?"

"Of course I know, and not everyone is as stupid as you. Cai Yan shook off his long black hair, "The Mo family has a clear law, if the people whose household registration is in the county have a cultivator, the county guard can forcibly recruit them to work for the government for three years. But this law has rarely been actually enforced since it was written. ”

She grinned, "But this is not unusual, most of the cultivators who are really powerful are from the big families, or they are the guests of the big families. Worse ones, defecting to those dart games and gangs can also be respected as guests. Even if the government wants to recruit talents, it must take into account the ideas of various groups, and most of the time it will not act rashly. ”

"But what about ......" Cai Yan rolled up the book, like an old scholar holding a ring ruler, and pointed at Qin Ke and said, "You are an exception." ”

"Exceptions?"

"In the eyes of your county guard, you Qin Ke are just an ordinary person, because there is a hermit master who has obtained this cultivation, and now that the hermit is gone, you have no family protection, and you have no background in gangs, isn't it the best target for recruitment?"

Qin Ke smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't want to be a guard for others......

"Originally, too!" Cai Yan glanced at Qin Ke, put down the book and went to get the nuts on the side, "I said that you have no background, so you really think you have no background?" Although your background is not here, the Jinzhou Gongluo family is not light in the Mo family, you directly throw out the background of your Gongluo's uncle, and if you think that the county guard will know about it, he will also know the difficulty and retreat." ”

"But...... Will this cause trouble for the public loser?" Qin Ke looked at Cai Yan blankly, and lowered his head again, "Moreover, if I really call myself the uncle of the public loser, then the matter between me and Yinxue will definitely spread." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Cai Yan narrowed his eyes, approached Qin Ke and said, "Let everyone know that you have a wife of a big family, what's wrong?" When the time comes, don't say that your county commander has to be respectful in front of you, even that county guard has to respect you three points. ”

"I ...... I don't want to spread this matter......" Qin Ke patted the back of his head, shook his head vigorously and said: "Originally, this matter was only in Jinzhou, once it came here one day, Yinxue and I were not true and it became true, so how will I be a person in the future?" When I find the master, I will come back to live!"

"Loaded. Cai Yan smashed the bamboo slip in his hand and pointed at Qin Ke with a white and slender finger, "You men are the most hypocritical, on the surface, you seem to be unhappy in every way, but in fact, haven't you ever been proud in your heart?"

"I ...... Where am I proud!" Somehow, Qin Ke suddenly shouted excitedly, "I've never had it before, I'm very distressed!"

Cai Yan reopened his eyes and smiled sweetly: "I'm kidding, why are you so excited?"

"Hmm......" Qin Ke looked at the smile in her eyes, knowing that she was deliberately teasing herself again, he drooped his head and muttered quietly: "Anyway, I didn't." ”

Since he can't move out of the big mountain of the public loser, Qin Ke can only use the "thirty-six strategies to go to the top", anyway, he will go back to Jinzhou sooner or later, and there is no difference between earlier and later.

Moreover, although Gao Yishui's judgment on the situation of the public loser is to "wait and see", if he keeps watching, I am afraid it will also become a negative response, right?

Qin Ke is not Gao Yishui, he didn't plan so deeply, and naturally he couldn't understand a few of the tricks, but he could only be sure of one thing: that is, he still had to help fight for the position of the head of the family who lost Yinxue.

Not only because of the transaction, but also because now he has already regarded Yinxue as his friend.

Around mid-May, Qin Ke, who was sitting on horseback, finally saw the solemn and solemn word "Jinzhou" engraved on the city gate again.

The public loser seems to be all right, Gao Yishui and Abu are still idle and bored every day, either visiting the theater or eating and drinking everywhere;

And the public loser is to be arrogant in the public loser, as if he is in charge of the house - of course, only on the surface.

Everyone knows that as long as the person lying on the sickbed does not die, no matter how much the public loses no matter how much he jumps, it is a false appearance, as long as the public loser opens his mouth, it is enough to knock him into the dust.

However, the public loser is not too worried.

Whether it was from the smoke of the decoction or from the sad face of Doctor Lu after checking the pulse every day, he knew that the day of the public loss of benevolence was getting closer and closer.

All he had to do was wait.

When the old crown falls to the ground, it is natural that someone will kneel and put the new crown on his head.

"Your uncle is really, so many things are done by you alone, and you are not an iron-clad person, how can you stand it?" Qin Ke sat on the chair with a little complaint in his tone, and opposite him, sat Yin Xue.
