A middle-aged man on a horse, in the dust, rushed to the city of the Blue Emperor at dawn.

Looking at the dense crowd outside the South City Gate in the dark, He Ming couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "I received the news with the city lord in Yucheng, and then, I immediately rushed here, but I didn't expect that it was still too late, and so many people got the news." ”

He Ming dismounted, walked around, inquired about the situation, and then understood what was going on.

These people are all from the villages and towns of Baili near Qingdi City, and have been attached to Qingdi City for thousands of years.

Yesterday's battle outside the Blue Emperor City, even if they didn't see it, they heard about it from other villagers, and the time they got the information was much earlier than him.

These people, or they were originally from Qingdi City before, or they had relatives living in Qingdi City, plus they were originally close, so they hurriedly contacted relatives and friends when they got the news, and a large group of people came with their families.

I heard that they came late, they came early, and they entered the city yesterday afternoon.

He Ming has traveled from south to north and has experienced a lot, so he naturally understands that he should not underestimate anyone's wisdom.

People like these people from villages and towns outside the big city, although many people living in the big city look down on them, but they have their own wisdom and know how to survive in this blood-soaked land.

Qingdi City defeated the enemy, gained a firm foothold, and reversed the situation in one fell swoop, which is bound to develop vigorously, which requires a large number of manpower, and the young Zhuang who is idle at home in order to support his family and live a better life for his family, he naturally came at a very fast speed.

Knowing the situation, He Ming laughed at himself: "Actually, what's the difference between me and them? ”

The content of the work may be different, the position is different, and the final achievement is different, but their starting point is exactly the same.

There is no essential difference between the two.

......

......

Qingdi City, above the south gate, a soldier of the Qinglin Army with a tired face stood in front of the arrow tower and reported: "General, the time has come, you can open the city gate." ”

Lin Jiansheng opened his eyes, walked down the arrow tower, stood on the edge of the female wall, looked at the dense crowd under the city, and said to the soldiers behind him: "I know that everyone has worked hard, but the last two days are a critical period, and when these few days pass, it will get better and better." ”

Yesterday, the sequelae of Qingqi's secret technique, Lin Jiansheng, who had become a side of the Qingdi lineage, although he didn't sleep, just settled, and it took seven or eight hours to almost recover, but ordinary people, it still takes a few days to fully recover.

In addition, according to yesterday's observation statistics, excluding the factor of the Blue Emperor bloodline, the higher the strength, the faster the recovery.

After taking turns to rest for a day and a night yesterday, people above the seventh rank have basically recovered their mobility and can perform simple patrols, registrations, management and other tasks normally.

"General, I'm not tired. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of exhaustion, but the young soldier replied loudly and energetically.

Lin Jiansheng thought of the days of two days ago in his mind, although there was no blood in his eyes and no tiredness on his face, but the soldiers of the Qinglin Army, including him, were all lifeless, and they were completely opposite to now, and they didn't feel a little vitality at all.

And all of this changed on that day, with the appearance of that adult.

Lin Jiansheng raised his right hand, patted the young soldier's shoulder heavily, and said sonorously: "Our Qingdi City will inevitably restore the prosperity of the imperial city thousands of years ago, and even stronger than it!"

After all, it was a living emperor!

With the Qingdi City, it is the real Imperial City, and it is the safest and most powerful city in the world.

Restoring the prosperity of the imperial city thousands of years ago is naturally not a problem.

"Yes, General, I believe so. ”

The young soldier nodded vigorously, although he didn't know the existence of Lord Qingdi, but he believed in the Qingqi City Lord, the Qingfeng City Lord, and the current Qingdi City that had just defeated Luojiang City.

In particular, when he thought of the Qingqi City Lord's victory over Luojiang City, the previous city lord, a monarch-level mid-level powerhouse, he also participated in it and contributed his own strength, and he felt very arrogant.

......

......

As the heavy bronze gate slowly opened, this ancient city, which had survived for thousands of years and had risen and fallen several times, was displayed in front of He Ming's eyes.

Facing the humid morning breeze, He Ming followed the flow of people and walked into this ancient city.

At dawn, it was silent, most of the people had not yet gotten up, and there were not many pedestrians on the streets except for those who had entered the city overnight.

After entering the city, everyone did not hesitate, the goal was clear, and they all rushed along the official city to the center of the city.

He Ming followed the crowd, planning to inquire about the situation first, think about it, sort out his thoughts, and then decide how to join the office.

Following the crowd, leading the horse, all the way, with the brighter and brighter morning light, He Ming looked around, and his mind surged.

Sure enough, the Blue Emperor City was already dilapidated, and even on both sides of the long avenue, there was grass growing, which showed that the situation in other streets of the Green Emperor City was even more serious.

Grass grows on the city's main official roads, naturally because there are few people walking around and taking care of it.

He Ming also noticed that there were many vacant houses on both sides, and even the walls of some yards were covered with grass, the branches in the yard had grown out of the walls, and the roofs were full of grass, obviously no one had lived in them for a long time.

This is on both sides of the main official road, one of the best parts of the city, and even such a lot is not enough to live in This shows how little the flow of people in the Qingdi City was before, and how dilapidated the city was.

Such a phenomenon is not possible in other prosperous cities.

But the fewer people there are, and the more ruined the city, the better my chances.

Isn't that why I came overnight?

He Ming followed the crowd and walked slowly for an hour or so, and finally arrived at Qingdi Square in the center of the city when the sun was rising.

Looking at the thousands of tables and chairs, hundreds of cauldrons, and the smell of meat in the air, He Ming sniffed vigorously and exclaimed: "This is, demon beast meat......? However, it's a pity, such a cooking technique spoils good things, if it is carefully cooked, it is definitely a top-grade dish with hundreds of spirit stones. ”

He Ming deposited the horses and saluted, walked on the Qingdi Square, listened to the conversation in the crowd, and then understood that it turned out that this was a flowing water banquet, in order to celebrate the promotion of the Qingqi City Lord and the Qingfeng Young City Lord to the monarch level.

After turning around and understanding the situation, He Ming found a team with fewer people, and also lined up: "Although the cooking techniques are average, but such a good thing as demon beast meat is not eaten in vain." ”

An official who maintained order came over and said to them: "Today is the third day of the flowing water seat, and there are still four days to go, don't worry, take your time, there are people who come to Qingdi City for the first time, you need to register first, and then receive the demon beast meat." ”

The official walked up to He Ming, glanced at He Ming and said, "If there are martial artists above the seventh rank, please come out of the ranks, you don't need to line up, we have a special place to summon you." ”

He Ming looked around, and then looked at himself, in order not to attract attention, after rushing to the gate of the Blue Emperor City, he deliberately changed his outfit and disguised, and the dress was obviously similar to most of the people around him, plus the secret method of breathing, shouldn't it be exposed so quickly?

But looking at the way the young official stared at him, it was clear that he had been exposed.

He Ming reluctantly walked out of the team and saluted the young official: "The scribe who travels the world, He Ming, has seen an adult. ”

Although the scribes practiced martial arts, they did not focus on cultivating martial arts and honing their combat skills, they were more interested in reading and learning literature, and even if they practiced secret methods, they were also practicing auxiliary secret methods.

"It's just a small official of the city lord's mansion below, and he doesn't dare to call him an adult. My name is Qin Huai, please come with me, Your Excellency. Since the other party took the initiative to report the origin of the name, Qin Huai also replied politely.

He Ming didn't have bad intentions about Qingdi City, the disguise was just out of prudence, and he wanted to find out first before making a decision, so although he was bitten out of identity, he didn't panic, but instead talked to the other party with a smile.

"Your Excellency is really a good eyesight, in the next week to travel the world, for safety, specially practiced the secret method of breathing, few people can see through, Your Excellency actually saw through it at a glance, in the next admiration. ”

Hehe......

Your secret method of collecting breath is really powerful, and you have not been discovered when you break into the Qingdi Square, but, even if you are unlucky, you met me, I left the Qingdi City with the mall in my teens, went out to wander, experienced several dangers, but also suffered from great disasters, and encountered several adventures.

Among them, he was chased and killed in Mocheng once, was seriously injured, and met a bald old man in black, who saw that he had good qualifications, so he rescued him, accepted him as a registered disciple, and passed on his secret method of controlling insects.

He Ming's secret method of respiration does have a miraculous effect on martial artists, but to his insects, it is as conspicuous as a candlelight in the night, and at first glance it is a high-grade martial artist.

Qin Huai naturally didn't tell He Ming who met for the first time, and said casually: "Where did I see through Your Excellency's secret method of breathing, but when I spoke, I saw that Your Excellency had an extraordinary temperament, and I looked at it twice, but I didn't expect Your Excellency to stand up by yourself, Your Excellency is so honest, I must misreport Shangguan and correct Your Excellency." ”

After He Ming heard this, he kept a smile on his face, but secretly shook his head in his heart: "Although I didn't think that you could get the answer by asking, but you shouldn't be complacent, and then I will compliment it again, come and go, isn't the relationship between the two of us familiar." If you're so obviously perfunctory, you obviously don't want to make friends with me. ’

He Ming naturally would not retreat when he encountered the slightest difficulty.

After all, he came to the Blue Emperor City to enter the city, and the other party could easily see through his secret method of breathing, that is, a capable person.

Such a capable person is now just a nine-rank official, and it is the time for Longyou to swim in the shallows, of course, he has to try his best to make friends.

He Ming can assert that if nothing happens, the future of the other party is unlimited.

He Ming is such a shrewd person, even if he knows that the other party is perfunctory, he enthusiastically took over and said: "Then thank you Brother Qin." ”

Now that his identity has been recognized, He Ming simply took advantage of the situation and blew himself up: "After hearing about the achievements of the Qingcha City Lord and the Qingfeng Young City Lord, I quickly resigned from the position of Yucheng, hung up the seal, and rushed to come overnight, just to enter the Qingdi City and pursue the Qingqi City Lord." ”

He even saluted Qin Huai and said: "Since Brother Qin has already entered the office, he is He's future colleague, and Brother Qin is familiar at first sight, please take care of Brother Qin." ”

Qin Huai has been traveling abroad for ten years, so he is naturally very knowledgeable, and He Ming's style is really like the style of a scribe who has traveled the world and sought to enter the world.

Qin Huai also wanted to join the government outside, but his personality really can't talk to those scribes who travel around a hundred cities, and even people of the same kind don't accept you, even if you get lucky to get into the office, naturally there is no way to get involved, and soon because of offending people, he was dismissed from office.

If he hadn't been disheartened outside, he wouldn't have returned to his dilapidated hometown.

If it weren't for his hometown, after seeing the hope of rising, he would not have chosen to become an official again.

Becoming an official in your hometown and traveling around a hundred cities to become an official is naturally not a concept.

For example, Qin Huai, who joined the company in his hometown, has connections left by generations, has a clean background, and quickly passed the interview and officially joined the office.

And the scribes who travel around the hundred cities need to be reviewed, recommended, and needed opportunities to enter the office, and even if they do, it will not be this kind of position with law enforcement power.

Most of them are the kind of positions that do not have much power and are of an auxiliary nature, such as staff and scribes.

It is not easy to get such a position as having law enforcement powers, or to be in charge of a department, and it takes time to precipitate before it can truly integrate into it and take root, or to stand out and be entrusted with important responsibilities after the test of major events.

Thinking of this, looking at He Ming, Qin Huai's heart was a little more compassionate, and his tone was much more sincere, and said: "If Brother He is sincere in entering the office, it is indeed the right time, the Qingdi City is in ruins, it is the time to employ people, as long as it passes the review, with Brother He's talent, I believe that he will soon be able to enter the office." ”

It's not easy, I finally hugged my thighs.

There are scribes who travel around a hundred cities, and if there is no support from the local people, it is simply impossible to move an inch.

This is all the bloody experience accumulated by He Ming over the years.

He Ming followed Qin Huai out of Qingdi Square and went to the school field on the other side.

At this time, there are already hundreds of recruits in the school field training, and it seems that it has just begun, and the most basic training is being carried out.

"Brother Huai?" A young man in the recruit army had just arrived in Qin Huai, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Komine ......"

Qin Huai just responded, and when he saw the instructor who was training the recruits, he quickly walked over and reprimanded Xiao Feng: "In the military formation, don't say much! Execute it immediately. ”

"Yes, instructor. Wu Feng shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Qin Huai, ran to the edge of the school field, faced the wall, and stood straight, there was a veteran next to him, and when he found Wu Feng moving, he whipped him.

Qin Huai paused, glanced at Wu Feng twice, didn't say much, and directly turned around and left the school with He Ming.

He Ming didn't make a sound, and quietly followed Qin Huai through the school field to a large hall with the word "Qinglin" written on it.

This should be the school field and yamen of the once famous Qinglin Army in Qingdi City.

Gee...... really valued me, and even took me directly to the base camp of the Qinglin Army.

He is a scribe, and he can't beat a low-grade sergeant, let alone a fully formed army.

If I find out that something is wrong, I will not be able to escape even if I put on my wings. ’

After being heard, Qin Huai took He Ming into the main hall and saluted the middle-aged general sitting on the top: "I have seen General Lin, this is a high-grade martial artist found by the lower officials in the square, and the other party claims to be a scribe who has traveled around a hundred cities, and he has come to enter the office, and asked General Lin to register and review." ”

Lin Jiansheng glanced at He Ming, He Ming felt that the evil qi was coming, and his heart was terrified, he didn't expect that there would be such a heavy general in the Blue Emperor City, and it was really the Imperial City, all of which were decayed like this, and they also had such a background.

He Ming believes that as long as there is such a general, the Qinglin Army will soon be able to grow rapidly and become a strong army.

The other party did this, and He Ming also understood what it was for, didn't it just give him a dismount, dispel his arrogance, and let you honestly cooperate with the next registration and review?

He Ming didn't have bad intentions in the first place, he was naturally open-minded, and he was not too affected by the evil qi.

Lin Jiansheng looked at the other party's appearance, nodded, and waved his hand casually: "Please ask this gentleman to go down." ”

After He Ming left, Lin Jiansheng got up with a smile and walked down, patted Qin Huai's shoulder and said: "Brother Huai, you joined the Shi yesterday, why didn't you join our Qinglin Army! You and I Lin and Qin have been friends for generations, your father is still my old commander, if you join my Qinglin Army, I will immediately give you a captain to be a captain, complete the recruit training, and immediately grow you for a long time, in a few months, you will become a centurion and become an intermediate general." ”

The main reason why Lin Jiansheng could easily promise Qin Huai such a position as a middle-level general was that in addition to Qin Huai's background and connections, he could be competent, and no one was dissatisfied, the main reason was that this was the highest position he could propose to be appointed in the Qinglin Army, and at this time, when the Qinglin Army was expanding, there were more than a dozen vacant positions of chief and deputy centurions, and there were few monks and more porridge, and it was not difficult to arrange them.

As for the position above the intermediate general, it is not up to Lin Jiansheng to decide, he needs to work on his qualifications, or make military merits.

Qin Huai shook his head with a smile and said: "My father died early, without my father's teachings, I really didn't learn much of the secret methods of fighting in my family, but in the ten years I went out, I learned some miscellaneous auxiliary secret methods, and I could barely enter the City Lord's Mansion to be a small official." Brother Sheng, I appreciate your kindness, I really don't apply to enter the Qinglin Army. ”

Lin Jiansheng saw that Qin Huai was determined, and shook his head helplessly: "Since you insist, then forget it, but, Brother Huai, you still have to learn the secret methods of fighting handed down by the Qin family, and you must not let them be lost." ”

Looking at the back of Qin Huai leaving, Lin Jiansheng said to the staff officers beside him, "How is Qin Huai's review?"

The staff officer immediately stepped forward and replied, "General, there are indeed some inaccuracies in Qin Huai's registration, but if he serves in the City Lord's Mansion, it is still within the acceptable range. However, if you want to enter our Qinglin Army, it will be difficult to pass. General, I think, this should be the main reason why Qin Huai chose to join the City Lord's Mansion instead of the Qinglin Army. ”

"Ten years!" Lin Jiansheng said with emotion.

After ten years of wandering outside, and it is the most important decade of the year, who knows what he has experienced in the past ten years, who has met someone, what he has learned, and whether he has been loyal to certain people?

There are too many variables!

In the City Lord's Mansion, under the noses of the two monarch-level powerhouses of the City Lord and the Young City Lord, as well as the wise ministers such as Mu Shoufu, it can still be used in unimportant positions.

After all, in a place like the City Lord's Mansion, there are many people with more complex backgrounds than Qin Huai, and there are not many more Qin Huai, and there are not many less Qin Huai.

Just like Luo Qi, the secretary general of the young city lord, just like He Ming, the scribe who traveled around the hundred cities just now, and so on.

However, it is absolutely impossible for such a person with a complex background to be placed in the Qinglin Army, which is an important matter.

Lin Jiansheng sighed and said, "Qin Huai, it's a pity. ”

If he hadn't left Qingdi City for ten years, if he hadn't had such an experience, with Qin Huai's background, he would have been in the Qinglin Army for ten years, and he would be at least a centurion, and he would definitely be qualified to apply to become a side of the imperial family.

Only by becoming a collateral of the imperial family can you understand what its benefits are.

Thinking of the harvest of the past two days, Lin Jiansheng still had a look of shock in his heart: "It can obviously improve the qualification of cultivation, and even break the barrier between the minister level and the monarch level." ’

It's no longer like before, when he entered the bottleneck period, he didn't make the slightest progress in cultivation, and he had no hope of advancing to the monarch level in his life.

Now, as long as he cultivates, there will be progress, even if this progress is very slow, only a trace of progress.

'I have a feeling that as long as I practice hard, I will definitely be able to advance to the monarch level for a maximum of ten years!'

Thinking of the content, Lin Jiansheng looked in the direction of the west of the city and said secretly: "If you fight and kill the enemy, this time will be shorter!"

......

......

Qin Huai left the school field quickly, stood outside the gate of the school field, turned around, and glanced at the school field with a complicated expression.

"Ten years ago, since the moment I decided to leave the Blue Emperor City, haven't I given up?

Qin Huai sighed softly, turned around and left, and went to Qingdi Square again.

......

......

After He Ming finished registering, he walked out of the school field of the Qinglin Army, thinking back to what he had just ventured to hear with the secret method, and his heart was amazed.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huai's background was so hard, it turned out to be the famous Qingdi City, among the two major military and martial families of Qin Lin, the descendants of the Qin family who were rumored to have been cut off, tsk......

"What an unexpected golden thigh!"

With such a background, as long as there is no accident, he will inevitably become an important minister of Qingdi City, and even the elder of the pavilion can hope for it.

Take advantage of the fact that it is a cold stove now, and hurry up to burn it.
