The autumn rain in the sky kept falling, Su Jing pushed open the window of the study, and as far as he could see, the small bamboo forest in the garden was even more verdant under the watering of the rain.

Su Jing changed into a navy blue shirt, took an oil-paper umbrella, said hello to Biyun, and walked out of the bamboo garden and walked towards the outside of Su's mansion.

There is still half a month before the autumn season, and according to the law of the Great Cadre Discipline, the reference children must submit their names to the government office half a month in advance, verify their identities, and distribute the official documents of the examination.

Su Jing simply had nothing to do in the mansion, so he cleaned up, left the Su mansion, and went to the official office.

Su Jing walked all the way through the drizzle, while secretly distracted.

According to the time I saw the city god of Jincheng Mansion, it has been five days, and in the past five days, the wind and waves have been calm, as if the old demon who appeared in Su Mansion has never appeared again, but Su Jing does not think that this demon was easily fooled by himself, and there is still something hidden in it, Su Jing is difficult to see clearly.

However, two days ago, he looked at Biyun, but found that the dead air on his face was gone, and when he thought of this, his heart was somewhat relaxed.

Su Jing went all the way to the county guard's mansion, on the streets of Jinchengfu today, I don't know if it was the reason for an autumn rain, the population was really sparse, even if Su Jing saw one or two pedestrians, he was in a hurry.

Although Su Jing had doubts in his heart, he still went to the county guard office, and when he turned an intersection, the county guard yamen of Pingyang County appeared in front of him, and two carved and powerful stone lions, about half a person high, squatted under the stone steps in front of the county guard yamen.

Su Jing looked up, a deep light flashed in his eyes, and said in his heart: "This is the county guard yamen, sure enough, luck and law are one, and the city government is majestic." ”

Su Jing stepped forward, walked towards the four officials standing in front of the door, and said, "This official, you are polite." ”

One of the rough-looking officials saw Su Jing come forward to speak, and he also hugged his fists and said, "This son, what do you tell me?"

Su Jing asked, "This year, is it here that the official office submits the name?"

A rough-faced official said in a deep voice: "This son, it's not a coincidence today, Zhang Jiaoyu from the official office has asked for sick leave, and he is not guarding the yamen in the county, and the son may have to run for nothing." ”

"Zhang Jiaoyu is sick and on leave, has no one temporarily taken over his position?" At this time, a clear voice suddenly came from the misty smoke and rain.

Su Jing turned his eyes and saw a young man with a yellow face and thin muscles and a thin body wearing a long garment of Gebu walking with a black umbrella.

The young man had a hint of haggard on his face, and although the long robe he was wearing was worn and patched, it was extremely clean, and he stepped under the porch of the county guard's office, and closed the black umbrella in his hand that was still dripping raindrops downward.

One of the officials with small eyes and a round face sneered: "This is a regulation of the official bureau, how can you be allowed to speak in vain." ”

There was contempt in this tone, and Su Jing's brows furrowed deeply when he heard this.

Hearing this, the young man's sallow face turned red. said angrily: "Peddler's pawn, dare to insult me!"

When Su Jing heard this, he knew that something bad was going to happen, and sure enough, the small-eyed and round-faced official heard the words "peddler pawn", and his eyes were full of anger, he put down the waist knife in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and came over to push the young man.

Su Jing said in his heart, this person must also be a scholar who came to the official office to handle official documents, and judging by his thin figure, it would not be good if he pushed it. So his body moved, and he shot out like lightning, blocking the fist of the official at once.

The mouth also said warmly: "This bad brother, my classmate and friend, is open-mouthed, please don't be angry." ”

The small-eyed, round-faced servant was about to get angry and break free of Su Jing's obstruction, but found that Su Jing's slender palms were firmly locked on his arms like steel tongs. I earned a few moments, but I didn't move.

At this time, the rough man who had spoken to Su Jing before said, "Little Liu, don't stop yet." ”

When Su Jing saw the rough man speak, he also let go of the force in his hand. The round-faced and small-eyed man named Xiaoliu also looked at Su Jing with anger and fear at this time.

Su Jing also smiled at the rough man at this time: "This official, Su has offended." ”

At this time, the rough man said indifferently: "It's not the son's fault for this matter, it's a brother's fault." ”

When the round-faced and small-eyed man heard this, he grinned for a while, and was about to attack, but was stopped by a cold look from the rough man.

Su Jing exchanged a few more polite words with this rough man at this time, and said: "Since that Zhang Yu is on sick leave, I don't know when the official office will re-accept the submission of the names of our scholars?"

The rough man seemed to have a good impression of Su Jing's politeness, and he was not tired of saying: "The official office is now understaffed, and if you want to handle it, I'm afraid it will be three days later." ”

Su Jing knew that no matter how much he asked, he couldn't ask anything, so he hurriedly said goodbye, and pulled the young man who had been stunned for a moment, still muttering in his mouth: "Insult Sven, insult Sven ......" and left here.

As soon as Su Jing left the county guard's mansion, the round-faced and small-eyed man said indignantly: "Big brother, how can you let those two boys go?"

The rough man also said angrily at this time: "Sixth son, we can't provoke the young man who came out, don't mention this matter." ”

The rough man has been in contact with all kinds of people in the county guard mansion all the year round, and his vision is naturally extraordinary, seeing Su Jing's extraordinary temperament, talking and behaving, neither humble nor arrogant, I can't say which family is the son, how can he be easily offended.

Su Jing pulled the thin young man, and when he walked not far away, he was knocked off his arm by the young man, and the young man glared and said: "Scholar, pull and pull, what kind of system!"

Su Jing was unhappy in his heart at this time, and said in his heart, the person in front of him was really unsophisticated, and his face was cold, and he was about to walk away.

At this time, he saw the young man fall to the ground, and said sincerely: "Thank you Brother Tai for your help." ”

Su Jing saw this thin young man doing this at this time, and the unhappy look in his heart was also slightly relieved.

Xin said: "Although this person is a little pedantic, he is not confused."

So he pretended to be puzzled and said, "What does this mean?" ”

The young man said: "Brother Tai just now, he helped Han to avoid the villain's poisonous hands, so I thanked Brother Tai." ”

Su Jing was not very reserved at this time, and waved his hand and said: "As both Confucian disciples, watching and helping each other is a proper thing, so why say thank you." ”

When the young man heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Su Jing was speechless in his heart, but he guessed that it might be that this young man was so upright and no longer entangled.

Su Jing said politely at this time: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, there is a place to go." ”

In fact, Su Jing's original intention was that if there was nothing else to do, they would part ways and leave.

But the young man didn't seem to be able to hear Su Jing's voice, and said: "Han has nowhere else to go, I don't know my brother's platform, but there is a good place to talk." ”

At this time, Su Jing heard this, so he had to say: "According to this, there is a teahouse chess club not far from here, if you don't give up, you are willing to talk to your brother and Taiwan for a few games." ”

The young thin boy thought for a moment, and then readily agreed.

Changshui County is located in the southwest of Pingyang County, which is not only surrounded by rolling green hills, but also by a tributary of the Panlong River, which is like a jade belt.

On the wide and smooth official road leading from Jincheng Fucheng to Changshui County, several teams of red-clothed soldiers with bright armor waved flags, and a battalion of knights in the rear followed closely behind, escorting several carriages, and marched towards Changshui County.

The light rain in early autumn fell on the green surface of the green river. On the thousands of acres of farmland on both sides of the river, there are occasionally one or two peasants, dressed in cloth, working in the fields.

"It's a peaceful and tranquil idyllic setting. ”

Pingyang County Shou Chuping, who was on the carriage, gently lifted the curtain of the car window at this time, and sighed when he looked at the busy scene of farming in front of him.

"Mingfu, it's a pity, it won't last long to be so calm. On top of the carriage, a middle-aged scribe with an elegant temperament spoke.

"Sima Xue, is the news you got confirmed?"

Chu Ping asked.

Xue Mu said firmly: "Ming Mansion, in April and May, Yishan was entrenched in a group of ghost cultivators who came from nowhere, and its leader had the cultivation of the ghost king, and in mid-May and June, he wantonly recruited lonely souls and wild ghosts to expand his power. Several villages and towns near Yishan in Changshui County were also slaughtered one after another. ”

Chu Ping frowned and said: "If there is a ghost king who is in trouble, then why Changshui Chenghuang did not send troops to encircle and suppress it, it also makes sense." ”

After all, there is a difference between yin and yang, and the city god has the right to make a judgment on the ghosts in the jurisdiction, as long as it is reported to the capital city god at the county level on time. And the capital city god can communicate with the county guard at that time on the fifteenth day of the first month of each year, on the night of the full moon, when the yin and yang are in traffic.

There was such a major event in Changshui County, and the city god in the county was unable to crusade against the power of the ghost king of Yishan, so he asked for help from the capital of Fuzhong, Chenghuang Xun, but the Xunguan Divine Domain was closed, and there was no one left in the Chenghuang Temple.

In desperation, the city god of Changshui County had no choice but to close the divine domain, and with the help of the humane luck of the county officials, he could protect the whole city from being attacked by evil ghost forces.

Chu Ping also received a message from the messenger of the city god in the capital of Jincheng Mansion this time, so he made a decision three days ago and rushed to Changshui County to pacify the ghost king forces in Yishan.

Xue Mu saw that there was a look of worry on the initial plane, so he said: "Ming Mansion, this time, with the assistance of the Yin Division of the Capital City God, it will definitely succeed immediately." ”

The solemn look in Chu Ping's eyes did not decrease, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know if there are enough people in this battalion." ”

Xue Mu smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't mean to underestimate his own adult, after all, since he had the courage to go out in person, he was definitely not a cowardly person.

Chu Ping had only worked in the Yujing Hanlin Courtyard before, and had no experience in and out of the military. The army is the killing machine of the Humane Dynasty and an important force in this world.

The sergeants of this battalion formed a military formation, and under the impact of the blood and qi of the military soul, unless the ghost generals and ghost kings were barely able to resist, they could definitely destroy the ordinary ghosts.

If an army of more than 1,000 people is pulled, under the agitation of blood and energy, the ghost king will not dare to take it lightly. If the 10,000-strong army passes by, the army's soul is fierce and blazing like fire. Ten miles away, the ghosts and gods saw it, and they avoided it from afar.

And if thousands of armies are lined up in a military formation, under the fire of crossbow arrows, even Jindan Zhenren will be defeated with hatred.
