Chapter 554 The Yulong Guest bullies the master, Xu Fengnian returns to Liang
Six or seven elite light cavalry gallops out from the Huangguan City Gate, surrounded by a white-haired and casual-dressed old man. The old man stopped horses in a farm outside the city, squatting on the ground and sighing. Although Beiliang Road has set up a new military farming department in imitating the Ministry of Works of the Court, responsible for all military farming areas in the territory, in the eyes of the old man who is familiar with the rules of the officialdom, this is just a helpless measure for the King of Xinliang to place foreign scholars. The essence of military camps lies in the word “settlement”. Once handed over to outsiders, it will only become a tool to make money and scrape the ground. But the old man was a minister of Northern Liang after all, how could he really compete with the Prince of Northern Liang? Fortunately, the young scholar who was wearing the hat of the military farm department had not stretched his hands and feet for the time being. Although he was a layman in the military farming affairs, his subordinates were still very dedicated. The new villagers who migrated from Liuzhou, the fourth state of Beiliang Road, were also honest and peaceful. The old man then pinched his nose and accepted it, otherwise he would have really done a bold act of leading troops to expel people.
Not long after the old man arrived at this farm, several young civil officials rushed over after hearing the news. Among them, the young man embroidered an eighth-rank oriole official tonic. Both of them were ninth-rank quails, with low rank, but they all held real power. The eighth-rank official was one of the six officials from the Ministry of Military Affairs of Beiliang Road, named Liu Gongren. The other five colleagues were all on the border, but he was the only one who was responsible for military affairs in Liangyou Prefectures. It is said that this is because the military farm department is afraid of Li Maozhen’s cone, so Liu Gongren was implicated and had to stay in the territory and could not go to the border to show his ambitions. After Liu Gongren arrived here, in addition to surveying the fields, he also visited the guerrilla general’s mansion several times. Unfortunately, the real power captain Li Maozhen, who had a miscellaneous general, did not give the young man any face at all, and was turned away every time. After the 14th Captain of Beiliang Road surfaced, it was like the separatist rule of the vassal states, most of which were new faces. At this time, the arrogant old man who was squatting by the field and facing Liu Gongren with his butt was Huangguan’s backbone, Li Maozhen, the captain of the Ruinxian Captain.
The old man ignored Liu Gongren’s polite words in the officialdom, snorted coldly, and did not raise his head, sneered, “Mr. Liu is really leisurely. He ran over and got close to me. He was not afraid of delaying the military farming process in the two states. Or he felt that he was familiar with a weak lieutenant, which would be beneficial to the future official climbing.”
Two young eighth-rank official and assistant officials who were as young as the chief officials were all indignant after hearing this. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Gongren, who had a thirsty mouth and tongue, waved his hand, and walked forward a few steps to the old man, but the strong entourage blocked the way. Liu Gongren smiled, and the personal guards weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Perhaps because he felt that the eighth-rank civil servant’s eyes were clear and hesitated for a moment, and moved away and let Liu Gongren walk to the edge of the field. He sat down beside the old man, shaking his collar holding the official uniform. It turned out that the man was sweating profusely, and there was dirt in the cracks in his nails, and even the official patches were stained with dust. Li Maozhen had such a fierce look. He just glanced at him and grabbed the handle again, saying, “Mr. Liu, who is a good official? Who will still feel that he is wearing an official uniform and working in the field?If you are not diligent in your four bodies, you are not divided into grains, or are you afraid that others will not recognize you as an eighth-rank official?
Liu Gongren smiled calmly and said, “If you don’t wear official uniforms, you will be driven out of the military farming field by the old general. “
Li Maozhen frowned without saying a word.
At this moment, the entourages who followed Li Maozhen out of the city were a little alert. There were three strange people walking slowly on the small road beside the field. When the two sides were three meters apart, the young young man with empty hands asked with a smile: “But Li Maozhen”
Li Maozhen, who was called the name directly, turned his head and looked at the vaguely familiar Qingyi face, and felt a storm in his heart, but he was a little confused. Li Maozhen is a veteran of Beiliang, and naturally remembers the peerless charm of the Princess of Wu in Beiliang at that time, but how did the old man believe that the young man in front of him would be the one he
Two young men standing beside him with swords on their backs and smiled and said, “Li Maozhen, standing in front of you, he will not curse others.”
Hearing this teasing, Li Maozhen could not recognize the identity of this person. He suddenly stood up and then knelt down. However, the young man who looked like a scholar walked to Li Maozhen at some point and sat next to the old man with the helper Liu Gongren on the left and right. Li Maozhen’s light entourage was shocked and was about to protect him when Li Maozhen ordered him to retreat to the city first.
Liu Gongren and the two assistant officials of the military field department who had been standing were a little confused.
Li Maozhen looked excited and didn’t know what to say. The old man was not really stupid. The King of Beiliang really sat beside him. He gave him ten bravery and didn’t dare to curse him. Besides, he was refuted at the time, but just said a few angry words, and he regretted it afterwards. In fact, if the young vassal king wrote the instructions at that time, instead of the girls in Wutongyuan, then let alone refute it, even if the King of Beiliang scolded him in person, Li Maozhen would not retaliate. Li Maozhen, who is in power, would recognize two things than many people: both Beiliang and the Xu family. No matter if you are a kitten and a dog, the head of the Xu family after the general Xu Xiao, as long as you sit in the position of the common ruler of Beiliang, Li Maozhen will die for him.
The visitor was Xu Fengnian. He leaned over and walked around Li Maozhen and looked at Liu Gongren, an eighth-rank official, and smiled and said, “It should be Lord Liu, the official who once studied in Shangyin Academy. You can continue to talk about you, and I will listen. ”
