Jiangnan Huashi Gang has a great reputation, and the previous tributary envoys completed the task beautifully, not only won a lot of rewards in Beijing, but also added officials to the knighthood after going back, and was regarded as fat at first.

But in the past two years, Huashigang has been attacked by Qingliu as "disturbing the people's government", and secondly, Emperor Longping's hobby has also shifted, and his preference for these flowers, trees and strange stones has gradually faded, and even in the end it has become a chicken-like errand.

However, since this tribute has become the norm, the local officials do not dare to stop casually, and only continue to carry out every year, and this year there are no more officials willing to escort them.

Li Cheng is a defeated general's son, who has learned the art of war since he was a child, and is proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and wants to revive his family's reputation. He was not very well-informed, and when he heard about Huashigang, he still thought that this was a road to prosperity, so he gritted his teeth and made money to win this errand.

The chief officer and his colleagues saw him as stupid and didn't like him very much, so no one reminded him, until Li Cheng was now full of confidence to stay in the post house, but no one cared about him, that he knew that the situation had already changed. Huashigang is no longer a tribute that was hot in the city back then, but has become an embarrassment that everyone avoids.

Li Cheng had no choice but to come to the Ministry of Rites from time to time to report, wanting to find the yamen to collect this batch of tribute, so that he could return to his hometown as soon as possible. However, Hua Shigang cannot be regarded as a permanent offering, and the Ministry of Rites is not qualified to collect points, so it must be reported to the cabinet scholars and the Son of Heaven, and then it can be put into the warehouse according to the usual practice.

The adults of the Ministry of Rites didn't like Hua Shigang's reputation in the first place, and Li Cheng was short on money, and he couldn't take any bribes, so he didn't even bother to pay attention to the people under the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, the matter of Huashigang's tribute was delayed and delayed, and it was more than two months.

Li Cheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot every day, and before he set off, he bragged to his subordinates in the same company, and he didn't dare to show it on the surface, so he had to squat at the yamen of the Ministry of Rites every day to look for opportunities. Because the door bag given is only a few hundred dollars. He didn't even look down on the doorman, and he didn't even bother to pass it on for him

Today, he had already quarreled with the owner of the post house, and he was very angry, and when he saw that Ye Xingyuan and the others were unimpeded, he was annoyed for a while, so he grabbed the door and scolded.

Menzi was stunned for a moment, and when he saw who the person was, he was immediately furious, "How dare you be so rude as a local official? This old man Li entered a province to offer auspiciousness, which omen the peace of the country and the people, and the emperor will summon him soon. Your flower stone gang is just some strange thing, how can you compare it with it, things are prioritized, and you are waiting on the sidelines!"

Li Cheng's face was red, and he hurriedly retorted: "Although this is true, I have been here for more than two months, and I have only met Lord Wang once. The main hall and the waiter have never met. Now that you're wasting your time in the inn, I don't know when it's going to be the end?"

Menzi sneered disdainfully, "What is your identity? You still want to see Lord Zhengtang? Lord Wang is in every opportunity, and being able to take the time to see you once is already considered your creation." Now that I've seen adults. What are you doing here every day, and the adults will naturally arrange it for you. ”

The Ministry of Rites is still the book, and the waiter is Qinggui, even if Ye Xingyuan is going to offer auspiciousness, they may not be willing to meet him. It's just a few outsiders who handle these mundane affairs. Ye Xingyuan was listening to Li Cheng's words, but after a few words, he knew that this person was upright, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would offend people. I don't know how I was sent by the local government to carry out a mission in Beijing.

Even if it is a gatekeeper in the capital, who is not a character with a seven-trick exquisite heart? A pair of snobbish eyes hold high and step low, and can see through it. Li Cheng has no power and no wealth, and he is just a military attaché, so he may still be able to shake his prestige in the local area. In the case that the bigwigs in Beijing are everywhere, and the seven products are not as good as the dogs, his temper can really only be deflated everywhere.

This person looks to be in his thirties, born in a martial arts family, burly, and good-looking. There has always been a depressed color in his expression that is difficult to understand, which makes his brows tightened.

Ye Xingyuan had never dealt with a pure military attaché, but he was also a little curious. The Xuanyuan world is noble and lowly, and the generals who charge into battle are often regarded as reckless, and they are often controlled by civilian officials in war, not to mention the peaceful years.

However, military attachés are also indoctrinated by saints, and after receiving the military position, after the distribution of the mandate of heaven, they can also have supernatural powers. This kind of supernatural power is mainly focused on killing and the art of war, and the nine-grade system enables the supernatural power of military training, which can improve the endurance of soldiers and enhance their obedience.

In terms of effect, it should be similar to Xiucai's "Pure Heart Holy Sound", which is a kind of magical power that acts on the spirit.

Ye Xingyuan now has an eight-grade rank, in addition to the unique "breaking" and "anti" two supernatural powers brought by the sword spirit, Tong Sheng, Xiucai and Juren respectively brought him the three supernatural powers of Haoran Body, Pure Heart Holy Sound and Calling Wind and Rain, and after practicing along the way, he has a more intuitive understanding of the supernatural power system of the Xuanyuan world.

Divine powers come from heaven and are descended by the mandate of heaven, as long as they are promoted to the corresponding level in the system and hold the corresponding positions, they will obtain the corresponding divine powers. But the power of supernatural powers comes from spiritual power and the comprehension of heavenly machines.

For example, Ye Xingyuan's pure heart holy voice is far more powerful than ordinary talents, not only can it act on people without rank, but it also has a miraculous effect on talents of the same level, and even has a certain influence on those whose grades are above him, such as Ouyang Ziyu and Mo Niangzi.

The higher the level, the more powerful the supernatural powers obtained, from strengthening one's own Haoran body at the beginning, to influencing the spiritual level of the pure heart holy sound, to the small-scale interference in the current world, this is one step at a time.

Further up, the influence of supernatural powers on the present world is increasing, and on the one hand, because it is different from the diversification of the responsibilities of civil officials, the upgrading of supernatural powers obtained by military titles can be seen more clearly.

All kinds of offensive and defensive supernatural battle formations, with clear layers, and the power is gradually increased, similar to impregnable, long-distance running, eight-door golden locks, ghost crying and other supernatural powers, or improve a certain attribute of the soldier, or suppress the ability of the opponent's army, or directly attack with supernatural powers, each time you improve a product, the power of the supernatural powers obtained will be enhanced.

In Ye Xingyuan's opinion, this kind of martial arts technique is more like a martial arts skill in a game, and the power is amazing. Although he had already made up his mind to take the civil official route of the imperial examination, he was still very interested in this kind of martial arts supernatural power that was forcibly captured in the middle of a joke, so he had no dislike for this not very good-tempered Li envoy, but planned to help him.

He smiled at Menzi and said: "This Li envoy lives in the same post house as us, although today is the first acquaintance, it can be regarded as fate." If it's convenient, please also ask the little brother to pass it through. ”

When he spoke, Ye Xingyuan quietly handed over a thick door bag, anyway, there is a wealthy son-in-law like Tang Shiyan in the team, and the three adults in the province have not hesitated to allocate enough funds, this kind of small oil and water Ye Xingyuan doesn't care at all.

Li Cheng was stunned, and only then did he recognize that Ye Xingyuan was the person who passed him by in the post house, but he didn't expect that he was already a master at a young age, and judging from the costumes, he should be a new person.

Although he has no official position, his rank is still on his nine-grade system, remembering that he was rude in the post house, this young man actually helped each other, his face turned red, and he wanted to thank him, but he muttered speechlessly.

Menzi took other people's hands short, and he just looked down on Li Cheng, and he didn't have any deep hatred. Since some people are willing to pay, he does not have to offend people to death, so he asks them to wait, and he himself enters the door and spreads the word.

Li Cheng was embarrassed for a while and then came up to thank him, Ye Xingyuan exchanged names with him, and when he heard that he was the Li general, he was also in awe.

At the time of the founding of this dynasty, the Li family was famous, and he had fought with Taizu in the south and in the north, and fought fiercely with the demon clan and the barbarians, and countless people died on the battlefield, which can be described as a loyal martyr.

Later, the Li family has been stationed in the northwest, and they are quite powerful in the army, and they were robbed of their titles because of the rebellion of the vassal king, but many people think that this is framed. This was a public case more than 100 years ago, and there are still different opinions today.

The descendants of the Li family regard themselves as loyal, and there are often storytellers in the market wine shops who tell the story of the romance of the Li family, Ye Xingyuan has also heard it a few times, but he didn't expect to see a living descendant today.

If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy to talk in the room of the ceremonial department, Ye Xingyuan would have been curious to ask if those miraculous heroic deeds were true, but since they lived in the same post house, they would have the opportunity to ask in the future, so they were not in a hurry.

After a while, Menzi came back, and sure enough, Lord Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, met Ye Xingyuan first, and also met Li Cheng by the way, but only said some clichés. Although they were also asked to go back and wait, Ye Xingyuan and Li Cheng's moods were very different.

Ye Xingyuan's wait was a few days at most, but Li Cheng's wait was far away. Seeing that it is only more than a month before the end of the year, he really doesn't know whether to celebrate the New Year in the capital.

The two returned to the post house together, Li Cheng was depressed, and came to ask Ye Xingyuan to drink in the evening. Tang Shiyan had little interest in military attachés, so he went to Beijing to accumulate experience. After Zhu Ning'er heard about it, she did not avoid the suspicion of men and women, and took the initiative to come to serve beside her, but Ye Xingyuan was afraid that she would be cranky again, so she sternly refused.

Zhu Ning'er said with a smile: "It's mine, isn't it, after the lord wants to recruit this general, there must be no outsiders present." I just heard that the Li family has been handed down to the art of war, and there are many famous generals, if this Li Cheng is a descendant, although he is down-and-out now, he will develop in the future, and the lord must not neglect him."

"Stop, stop, stop, why did I say that I wanted to recruit him, he is an official of the imperial court, and he has a different path of literature and martial arts, where do I have such thoughts?" Ye Xingyuan explained in vain, but Zhu Ning'er smiled, only determined that Ye Xingyuan was cautious.

Then he regretted again: "I don't always have a long memory, there are many characters in Beijing, and it is inevitable that the wall has ears, so the lord should be careful." And the lord is eloquent and strategic, how can he not know the special features of the Li family general? Only then will he be able to discern the talent and make friends with him, and this is really my unfounded worry. ”

Ye Xingyuan was speechless, he really didn't know what was special about the Li family, and helping out in the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites was nothing more than a favor, where was the wisdom and talent? This little girl went crazy, when will she wake up......?
