In the sky, pieces of snowflakes are fluttering, falling like goose feathers, decorating the earth and mountains with a piece of white, the snow on the ground has been paved with a thick layer, in the snow, a young man can be seen riding a horse in the snow slowly, the young man is dressed in white, the horse is also a white horse, if you look at it from a distance, you can even ignore it if you don't pay attention to it.

"It's here!" The young man rode on a white horse, looking at a looming city about a few miles in front of him, and a long-lost sense of intimacy and warmth hit his heart, and the corners of his handsome face couldn't help but raise slightly, revealing a good-looking smile: "Drive!"

A pat on the horse's buttocks, the young man rode directly to the direction of the city in front of him, the horse galloped, splashed all the way to the snow, because of the heavy snow, the city seems to be particularly deserted, at the city gate, except for a few city gate guards, there is no one, look along the city gate to the city, the city street that can be seen inside is not the slightest figure.

"Stop, who's who?" "Stop checking!"

The soldiers defending the city, who were originally freezing in the heavy snow with cold hands and feet and nothing to do, found a young man in white who came on a white horse, and they were all shocked, and before the young man approached, he stepped forward and shouted, but when he saw the appearance of the young man clearly, several soldiers guarding the city were shocked.

"Ah, it's Dream Childe. A soldier exclaimed, the young man was none other than Meng Changsheng, who had returned from Hangzhou, and this city was not anywhere else, it was Chen County.

"Smack" But the first soldier's words fell, but he was slapped on the back of the head by the leader next to him: "Stupid, it's still called Meng Gongzi, it's time to call Hou Ye." ”

Meng Changsheng was canonized as the Marquis of White by the imperial court for a while, although it is not known to the world, but it is relatively spread in the entire land south of the Yangtze River, coupled with the spread of the old demon incident in Montenegro, it has made Meng Changsheng famous, and Chen County, which is the homeland of Meng Changsheng, has naturally known it for a long time.

"Don't hurry up to meet Hou Ye", "Yes, yes, it's time to call Hou Ye" "Meet Hou Ye." ”“....”

After being reminded by the leader, the other soldiers defending the city also came back to their senses, and when they saw Meng Changsheng coming, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, although the marquis is only an honorary title in the Wu Dynasty and has no real power, but in terms of rank, it is still above the general third-grade officials, and it is more difficult to obtain than the official position, that is, in the whole world now, there are no more than twenty marquis in the Wu Dynasty, maybe for a powerful monk like Meng Changsheng, a marquis position is not too important, but in the eyes of most ordinary people, this position represents the highest honor and status。

Especially in a small place like Chen County, the magistrate is already in charge of everything like a piece of heaven, and the official rank of the magistrate is only seven grades, not to mention a marquis, for them, it is almost a legendary big man.

Meng Changsheng looked at a few soldiers who were respectful to him and even a little frightened, and suddenly felt a little like laughing, it was strange to say, for most ordinary people, the warriors and monks did not make them feel much awe, but it was Meng Changsheng that these monks did not value too much in the imperial court positions that made these ordinary people even more awe-inspired.

Perhaps this is the fearlessness of the ignorant, who has not seen the real powerful means of the monks, and only exists in the hearsay and impression, so they are fearless, or it can be said that the majesty of the court of the Wu Dynasty is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for most people.

"Get up. Meng Changsheng looked at a few soldiers and said lightly.

"Master Xie. Several soldiers stood up from the ground when they heard the sound, automatically retreated to both sides to make way for Meng Changsheng, and stood on both sides with their heads bowed, Meng Changsheng also patted the horse's buttocks when he saw this, and prepared to enter the city, and the commander of the soldiers guarding the city suddenly rolled his eyes when he saw this, and suddenly looked up at Meng Changsheng and said: "When the Hou Ye comes back, I'm afraid the two ladies in the house don't know yet, or help the Hou Ye go to the mansion to report first." ”

Meng Changsheng turned his head to look at the soldier commander, and groaned for a while, the soldier commander was a little apprehensive when he saw this, and looked at Meng Changsheng cautiously: "Okay, then please trouble you to run." After a deep groan, Meng Changsheng nodded and said.

When the soldier commander heard this, his face showed joy, and he said: "No trouble, no trouble, it's a small honor to be able to serve the Hou Ye." So saying, he turned and ran towards the city.

"Wait a minute, what's your name?" Seeing that the soldier commander had turned around, Meng Changsheng opened his mouth again to stop the other party, and when the man heard this, his expression was shocked, and he immediately turned his head and bowed and said, "The little one is called Xia An." ”

"Xia An, it's a good name" Meng Changsheng Wenyan smiled slightly, looked at the other party and continued: "There are still some clever and loyal people around me, are you interested in coming to work under me." ”

Hearing this, Xia An's spirits were greatly lifted, and his face directly showed ecstasy, and he hurriedly said: "Being able to do things for the Hou Ye is a blessing for his subordinates for several lifetimes, and his subordinates will never give up." His face flushed with excitement, he took the initiative to ask for orders to report to Mengfu, didn't he just want to curry favor with Meng Changsheng, and now when he heard that Meng Changsheng obviously wanted to accept his words, how could he not be surprised.

Working under a powerful Hou Ye is much stronger than his small commander of the city, not to mention a commander of the city, I am afraid that some officials with low positions are envious, the so-called servant is the lord of glory, as long as the master is strong, then even if it is just a small entourage status around him, it is definitely a rising tide.

Cheyenne felt hit by a huge pie for a moment, felt excited and wanted to faint, and even had the urge to tell the world out loud.

"Okay, then you go to report first, and then after dealing with your existing position, you will come to Mengfu to report. ”

"Yes, the little one will go to inform the two ladies, knowing that the Hou Ye is back, the two ladies must have wanted to see the Hou Ye for a long time. ”

After speaking, Xia An ran directly into the city like a 100-meter sprint, and the momentum was enough to show the excitement in his heart at the moment, just like an ordinary person suddenly became a big official, in fact, for Xia An at the moment, it is indeed the case, although he is not really a big official, but becoming a subordinate of Meng Changsheng, a servant of the Hou Ye, is definitely a great honor and luck for ordinary people.

Looking at the figure of Xia An running into the city, the faces of the other soldiers at the city gate showed envy one by one, and at the same time secretly regretted that he didn't have a clever point just now.

Seeing that Xia An had already run far into the city, Meng Changsheng did not stay any longer, and letting Xia An come to do things under his subordinates was just a decision made by him on a whim and seeing that this person was a little clever, plus returning to Chen County, for him in this world, it was no less than returning to his hometown, and his mood was also a little happy.

It is a whim to let this Xia An do things under him, of course, whether this Xia An can be reused depends on his ability and ability.

Gently patting the horse's buttocks, Meng Changsheng also slowly walked into the city gate.

"It's a pity, I knew I had spoken earlier, but I didn't expect Cheyenne to take the lead. ”

"Yes, now Xia An is going to be developed, with Hou Ye, the status will definitely rise, and there will be no good food and spicy drinks, and it will be prosperous. ”

"Hey, don't be envious and regret it, who told us not to speak first. ”

After Meng Changsheng left, the remaining soldiers at the city gate whispered in a low voice, all of them couldn't help but look at the back of Xia An leaving.
