Chapter 268: Leaving Beijing to take up his post

Emperor Longping summoned Ye Xingyuan to the teahouse he was still frequenting, when Ye Xingyuan saw the emperor. The emperor was in a good mood, and while knocking on the melon seeds, he listened to the storyteller downstairs tell the story of Gongzi Ping's demon biography, his eyebrows fluttered, as if he had come out of the haze of the abolished prince.

"Here you are, sit down. When Emperor Longping saw Ye Xingyuan coming, he nodded and signaled, he had to finish listening to the book. After the storyteller "wants to know what will happen next, and listens to the next decomposition", then he looked back at Ye Xingyuan with a smile, looking like a kind elder.

The emperor smiled: "I ordered you to enter the Hanlin Academy for a turn, I just wanted to disgust the old gentlemen in the cabinet, but I didn't expect you to seize the opportunity to become a great Confucian." Let me see, what is different about this seventeen-year-old Confucian?"

After all, Ye Xingyuan is a person from later generations, and he has no concept of respect and inferiority in his bones, and he was a little cautious at the beginning of his relationship with the emperor of Weifu, but now he has let go a lot. So he quipped: "It's still two eyes and one nose, and there's no extra piece of meat." ”

Emperor Longping laughed, clapped his hands, and said: "Exactly! What a great Confucian sage, who does not have more eyes and noses than others, why is he superior to others? You have done an excellent job this time, winning the champion and fighting for energy, and asking yourself to relieve your anger, so that I am amazing for watching the show."

But it's dangerous to go to the west, so you can tell me what to do with you?"

Ye Xingyuan was confident, and when he heard the emperor's question, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty has been rewarded generously, given me the qualifications of Hanlin, and given me the title of Enyin, which has really been rewarded too much, how dare the students ask for anything more? ”

Emperor Longping was overjoyed and said, "You are really a boy with solid eyes. You are the champion and the magistrate of a barren county, and you have really wronged you. I will give you the post of Jinyi Guardian, inspect the northwest, and secretly visit the illegal affairs of the officials and the people. In case of emergency. Can be done cheaply. ”

Gonggong An took out a waist card from his arms and handed it to Ye Xingyuan, which was the voucher of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei. When she heard the emperor say the words "act cheaply", her arms trembled, and she said in her heart that this honor was really incomprehensible.

Ye Xingyuan was also a little surprised, Emperor Longping has always been generous, and it is nothing to give a hundred households as soon as he gets started, after all, it must be commensurate with his identity as the champion. But the power to secretly fold the book and say things is not enough, and this cheap act is great. This means that under special circumstances, Ye Xingyuan will have the same power as the imperial power in the northwest.

Although this power is not to be abused, it is subject to many restraints. There is almost no time when it is really "cheap", but it also means that Ye Xingyuan has one more hole card.

Ye Xingyuan asked for the position of Jinyi Guard, originally for the convenience of doing things. In addition to the official status of Qiongguan Zhixian, the resources that can be mobilized by the secretary of Jinyiwei will make his trip to the northwest much easier. And this "cheap act" gave Ye Xingyuan more convenience.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Ye Xingyuan hurriedly thanked him, took the waist card, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

After being mixed in the Xuanyuan world for so many years, he finally got mixed up in the system, and the official seal waist card was in his hand. One inside and one outside, one visible and one hidden. Recalling that the feeling that was almost overwhelming him from a seven-grade Zhouzhi County at the beginning, it was gone, and he could no longer find it.

Emperor Longping admonished: "After you leave Beijing." Then you will be contacted by the shadows of the brocade guard, and if you have any needs on the way, just ask them. When you arrive in Qiongguan County, your subordinates will also report to work one after another. The affairs of the county are all up to you. ”

A remote county town really can't afford to put a brocade guard hundred, although there is also a spy network. But the highest is only a small flag. Ye Xingyuan, a hundred households into the Raptors to cross the river, as soon as he arrived here, of course, he took over the work of the first leader.

Although the power of Jinyiwei in the shadows cannot be compared with that of the chief officer of a county, it is easier to control. Ye Xingyuan has this to rely on, and he can act more unscrupulously in the county.

Gonggong An quietly wiped his sweat, he originally felt that the emperor was too fortunate to Ye Xingyuan, but now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that Ye Xingyuan was in that remote place, in addition to not being able to grasp military power, he controlled the county border openly and secretly, just like the emperor of the soil.

Even if it is a vassal king, it is impossible for Emperor Longping to give such a great power, is this kid really a royal pearl?

Seeing Ye Xingyuan happily go, Gonggong An mustered up the courage to ask Emperor Longping, "Your Majesty, is it really good to treat Ye Xingyuan so well?"

Emperor Longping said nonchalantly: "What's the matter? Seeing this young man roaming the world, I remembered when I was a teenager." How about giving him more convenience? If he can make a name for himself, my heart will rejoice.

It's a pity that the border pass is barren and there are no beauties, where did the fox spirit and the sword fairy around him go? That Holy Maiden of the Raven God Sect is still too young to seem to be inconvenient to start. There is also a lady of the envoy, who seems to have an affair with him, but it seems that he can't accompany him this time, right? I don't know what princess there is on the side of the demon and the barbarian, and he has a chance to win it?"

The emperor shouted that it was a pity, and Gonggong An was dripping in cold sweat, and then he suddenly realized that he had grasped a trace of the emperor's mentality. Emperor Longping looked at Ye Xingyuan, as if he was looking at his own stand-in, what Ye Xingyuan could do, as if he had also done something.

Therefore, regardless of the kindness of thirty-seven twenty-one, I expect him to make a career and collect a few more beauties. It's a pity that the beauties of the border pass are a scarce resource, and they can only count on the princess of Fanbang.

Gonggong An said in his heart that the emperor had heard the story and was fascinated, but fortunately, Ye Xingyuan was actually quite stable, and he would not be pampered and arrogant, or even if he was pampered and arrogant in a place like the border, he couldn't do anything, so he didn't think about it anymore.

But said that a few days later, Ye Xingyuan took advantage of the spring flowers to leave Beijing to take up his post. Tang Shiyan and Zhu Ning'er saw them off, and a new jinshi was also sent to the Shili Long Pavilion out of courtesy.

Ye Xingyuan said "confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other", everyone was amazed, the Tao is a poet and a messenger, and everyone who came felt that it was worth the trip.

Ye Xingyuan only brought a few honest servants with him this time, which was actually borrowed from Tang Shiyan. Although he rose quickly, his foundation was shallow, and he did not have a loyal family servant, and he was disadvantaged to walk such a long way.

If there were no accidents, it would be fine, but if there were bandits or illnesses along the way, these servants would be useless and would just disperse.

That's why Ye Xingyuan needs the strength of Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei of this dynasty is extremely powerful, forming a large network in the country, and there are contact points in almost every place. With brocade clothes and guards to take care of, Ye Xingyuan is not afraid of accidents on the road.

He hired a few big carts and walked slowly, not in a hurry. When the sun rises in the morning, he goes out, and in the afternoon he finds a place to stay, rests early, and is not greedy for night, and so on for three days.

Three days away from Beijing, Ye Xingyuan walked to the Yulou Pass in the west, and after passing this pass, he went out of the north straight and stepped into the land east of the river. As usual, he still went to the post station in the afternoon, but he had some doubts in his heart.

Emperor Longping said that after leaving Beijing, the people of Jinyi Wei would contact him, but it has been three days now, but there is still no news. Could it be that the Jinyiwei system is also relatively bureaucratic, and it hasn't reacted yet?

Ye Xingyuan pondered and continued to slow down, it would be better to take it easy before contacting Jinyiwei. He read a few books in the post station, because he had the magic power of one glance and ten elements, and he understood it almost in half a cup of tea.

Idle, Ye Xingyuan also pondered the magical powers granted by the hundred households of Jinyi Wei by the way.

He is a real job and has his own magical powers. However, it is the same as the bow and arrow magic power granted by Captain Encai, which is also used for martial arts, and because it is a hand-to-hand combat method, it is more bloody. Ye Xingyuan didn't like it very much as a noble scholar, but he knew that the northwest was dangerous, and it was always good to have this skill.

This supernatural power is called "Bafang Knife Wheel", which is a magical power with a knife, which can take a person's head within ten steps, such as probing the bag to take things.

The standard configuration of Jinyi Wei is an embroidered spring knife, and Ye Xingyuan also has to give one, but it can't be exposed in front of people. Fortunately, he has General Pei's treasure knife, and he has to use it more than embroidered spring knives.

This magic power is equivalent to the art of the sword, which can control the knife in the mind, making it turn sharply in the air, extremely fast, and the head of the hero. Although as soon as he got the official position, he had obtained this magical power, but the operation was sluggish and ineffective, and it was inevitably dull. If you want to increase your power, you have to communicate with the sword.

Ye Xingyuan also read the legend of the swordsman when he was a teenager, and he longed for it, but he regretted that this was a knife instead of a sword, which was not elegant enough, but he still put the sword in front of his knee with great interest, controlled it with supernatural powers, and slowly raised it.

Only holding up the treasure knife void for half a foot, Ye Xingyuan felt that his eyebrows were sore, as if he was lifting a thousand catties of heavy objects. In fact, with the amount of spiritual power in his body, it is enough to control the knife and practice the knife, but after all, he doesn't practice martial arts, so he is not used to it.

"It seems that this sword technique is really difficult to practice. Ye Xingyuan sighed, using his magical powers, the treasure knife rolled and rolled between square inches, although the murderous aura was amazing, but he always felt that something was wrong.

If you use your magic power like this, you are afraid that you will not have time to cut others, and you will become a live target. Thinking of Captain En's "Thunderbolt String Shock" supernatural power, Ye Xingyuan only practiced half-hanging, and he didn't realize that he was happy.

In comparison, although he can't say that he is handy now, he is at least much easier to use. Ye Xingyuan said, sure enough, I am more suitable for the mage and summoner route, the warriors who charge into battle are really not suitable, in the future, it is better to let the baby in the front, and provoke with the pure heart holy voice in the back.

What bows and arrows, long knives, this last resort, just as a hidden hole card.

Ye Xingyuan was about to receive the supernatural power, when he heard a sneer from outside the window, "The Jinyi Guard's hundred households and eight directions knife wheel can deter the small group, but this knife is really weak." If you can kill people with such a knife technique, that's a joke!"

Ye Xingyuan was taken aback, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?" (To be continued.) )
