Chapter 121: Xiyang County

After Li Xuandu and Bai Juan left the Taiping Inn, they did not encounter any turmoil along the way, and went all the way to the county seat of Xiyang County. The county is divided into large and small, that is, the upper county and the lower county, the upper county is rich, the population is large, and it is good and short to be an official here. Xia County is barren, the people are difficult, maybe there will be trouble among the people, and few people are willing to go.

There is a saying in the officialdom, called: "Three lives are unfortunate, the county is attached to Guo, three lives are evil, Guozhou City is attached, and evil is full of Ying, Guo Jingcheng is attached." ”

The so-called "Zhixian attached to Guo" means that the prefect and the prefect are in the same city, so that his every move must be restrained, exhausted, and completely without the prestige of his parents. "Attached to Guozhou City" means that the prefect, prefect, governor or governor are in the same city. Needless to say, it is attached to Guo Jingcheng.

Therefore, some county seats are both prefectures and prefectures, and Xiyang County is an upper county, although it is not where the prefecture is located, but it is not much inferior to the prefecture, and Qin Daofang and Chu Yunshen chose to meet here at the beginning, which was also considered. Sitting here, even if you can't return to the governor's line, you can also dispatch the officers and troops in Langya Mansion, you can attack and retreat.

After the two came to Xiyang County, they found that Xiyang County was much better than the county towns of other prefectures, at least there was still a bit of prosperity on the street, and people came and went, which was quite lively. On the other hand, in those prefectures that were ravaged by the Qingyang Sect, the people were displaced by the war, and the cultivated land was barren due to the displacement of the people, and there were more and more hungry people, just like a snowball rolling down from the top of a snowy mountain, getting bigger and bigger, and finally becoming a hole that no one could fill. In today's conditions, the only solution is to die, whether by war or famine, until there is enough food to feed everyone.

Looking through the history books, which dynasty and which generation are not like this.

In the face of this rolling trend, no matter whether you are an immortal in the world or an emperor or a general, you can only do your best, and you can save one person is one person. Therefore, today's fault does not lie in Qin Daofang, but in the imperial court and Qingyang Sect.

The two of them arrived at the county government of Xiyang County, at this time this place has been requisitioned by the Governor's Office, and the people standing outside are the pro-soldiers of the Governor's Office, Bai Juan because she often travels to and from the Governor's Palace, the pro-soldier commander here has recognized her, and after seeing it, she hurriedly came over to salute, and called her "eldest lady", and then said that the ministry and Master Chu were deliberating, and asked the two to wait for a while.

Under the guidance of the commander of the pro-soldiers, the two came to a simple and simple side hall, and then the clerk served two cups of hot tea to the two.

After the secretary office retreated, Li Xuandu picked up the bowl, skimmed off the tea foam with the lid of the bowl, took a sip, and said as if he had no intention: "How does the commander call you 'eldest miss'?"

Bai Juan was puzzled: "The third uncle has no children, and treats me as a daughter, so they call me 'eldest lady', there is no problem, right?"

Li Xuandu said with a straight face: "Don't you still have a sister Qin Su?" According to reason, Qin Su is the eldest lady, and you should be the second miss." ”

Bai Juan was stunned for a long time before he held back the three words that were very lacking: "You want to take care of it?"

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Okay, I don't care." ”

Bai Juan was probably afraid that Li Xuandu would break the casserole and ask the end, so he hurriedly hit a rake and said, "Why do you care so much about Qin Su?

Li Xuandu said confidently: "After all, Qin Su is a famous beauty in the rivers and lakes, and she is mysterious, I care about what's wrong? Isn't this human nature?"

Bai Juan asked, "Then do you have bad intentions for her?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said: "Yes, Miss Qin really woke up the dreamer with a word, I didn't find out until today that I had been friends with Qin Sushen for a long time, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that I had been asking for it." ”

Bai Juan didn't know whether to be happy or angry, and said softly: "Since you like Qin Su, then why do you bother, why do you have to ...... with me?"

Li Xuandu asked curiously, "What about you?"

Bai Juan was really a little sour, and said with a bit of negativity: "Talk to me about those shameless words." ”

Li Xuandu said with a smile: "Because I am a disciple." ”

Bai Juan is not a fool, and he has a little aftertaste at this time, and he is not confident enough: "You ...... Do you know?"

Li Xuandu said with a blank face: "What do you know?"

Bai Juan didn't know why he was always deflated in front of this disciple, and if he was someone else, whether it was Han Yingyue or some other son, didn't he see through their careful thinking at a glance? Could this be the so-called obsessed with the authorities? The more Bai Juan thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and he simply didn't want to think about it, so he took out the ability to not move the eight winds in the past, looked at his nose and nose, and didn't care about him.

The more people want to calm down, the more they can't. It's like thinking about going to bed early today, and I often can't go to bed early.

The more Bai Juan didn't think about the guy who was close at hand, but her thoughts always drifted over there involuntarily, and the current person made her unable to connect with the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal in the past no matter what. Who is the Zifu Sword Immortal? The evil star who kills people without blinking, and when he dies under his hands, he doesn't say that he is a nobody, but that there is a name in the rivers and lakes, not a hundred, but eighty. What's more, the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal is still the fourth gentleman of the Qingwei Sect, who once competed with Mr. Three for the position of the sect master, and was the one who almost became the sect master, so there is no shortage of scheming skills.

Thinking of this, Bai Juan squinted his eyes slightly, and glanced at the person beside him with his residual vision.

I can't see the decisiveness of the killing, and the smile on my face is not as valuable as the money.

Purple Mansion Sword Immortal?

She suddenly remembered what one of her distant cousins had said to her, this man, there are two people before and after familiarity, and there are two people before and after marriage. No matter how mature a man is, there will always be a childish side, especially in front of women. If you think he's a little childish, it's not strange, it means that he doesn't see you as an outsider, and when you think he's all manly, then he already thinks you're a stranger.

Bai Juan didn't feel deeply about these words at the time, and her cousin also made a special analogy, when a group of women get along, do they laugh and laugh unscrupulously, and dare to say any boudoir jokes, which is not inferior to men in the slightest, but when it comes to the front of men, is it a different appearance? In front of his own brothers, not to mention pulling out the mountains and covering the world, it is not far away, so he almost lifted his brother's skull, but in front of outsiders, it is a weak willow to help the wind, and even the stopper of the wine gourd can't be pulled out.

So far, Bai Juan has some feelings.
