After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 37 Yulin County Lord
"The minister bows to His Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

Wei Xingzhi stood respectfully in front of the table in the imperial study.

Wan Chengqian took a small wolf hair and drew on the rice paper with a focused expression. On the table was a whole map with the outline of Jizhou.

There are also a few pieces of rice paper with handwriting on it scattered around the table. Looking closely, the rice paper is actually a drawing of the Jizhou River and the water diversion canal.

Wan Chengqian concentrated on drawing the pictures under his hand, and also made important comments on each key point with vermilion ink.

After more than an hour, he put down the pen and turned his neck, stretched his waist, and rubbed the sore and swollen eyebrows.

Jizhou is not a small place, and it is not easy to draw this drainage engineering drawing.

It took three days, no field investigation, only looking at the map and the news of Xia Feng, to draw a general idea.

Wei Xingzhi raised his eyes, saw the blue marks under his eyes, and frowned slightly.

"This time I'm going to Jizhou, besides you and Qin Changbai, there is another one, the eldest son of Rui County Prince's Mansion, Wan Rongxuan."

Wan Tuqian leaned on the back of the chair with a tired look on his face, and when he mentioned Wanrongxuan, there was a stern look in his eyes.

"Wanrongxuan? He doesn't have a position. If he doesn't stay in Beijing to prepare for the exam this time, why go to Jizhou?" Wei Xingzhi looked surprised.

Isn't Wan Rongxuan the little prince whom Princess Rui wanted to tell her last time?
Wan Qiqian said, "Do you think he can pass the scientific examination with his aptitude?"

There is no one in Nan Xiao who doesn't know that the young son of Prince Rui County's mansion is ignorant.

"All the children of the aristocratic family must rely on scientific examinations to enter the court as officials, and I have decreed that Qin Gelao and Yu Shangshu will supervise them personally. If anyone disobeys, he will be exiled for life." It is impossible to seek an official position for your own little son, and it is impossible to tamper with the scientific examination."

"So..." Wei Xingzhi sneered, "Prince Rui's Mansion is thinking that if they are successful in this disaster relief, they can skip the scientific examination and be rewarded with an official position?"

Wan Tuqian said in a deep voice with his eyes closed, "Well, Princess Ruijun went to beg the queen mother when she was old, cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, and the queen mother begged me here."

The corner of Wei Xingzhi's mouth twitched, he really answered his grandmother's old bastard.

"Wei's mansion lost face to Prince Rui's mansion earlier, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't target you this time." Wan Qiqian threw the jade pendant around his waist to Wei Xingzhi, "I give you the right to do things cheaply."

Wei Xingzhi raised his hand sharply to take it, put it in his hand, and said modestly to Wan Qi, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"

Before leaving, Wan Qiqian handed over the ink-stained rice paper and the map to Wei Xingzhi.

For some reason, Wei Xingzhi always felt that Wan Chengqian seemed to trust her extraordinarily.

Three days later, the sky was bright and the imperial city was finally sunny again.

All the chariots and horses for disaster relief gathered at the gate of the city. Wei Xingzhi bid farewell to General Wei and the old lady, and rode out of the city with Zhou Han and Fu Lianzi on horseback.

It was a long journey, and she only brought two cronies with her.After all, the five thousand elite soldiers sent by the emperor had already consumed a lot of food and grass, so she didn't need to bring so many personal guards.

Wan Chengyou stood beside Wang Zhiyang, watching Wei Xingzhi ride away on horseback with hazy eyes.

After a long while, he wiped away his tears, and went back to the Wei Mansion and solemnly told Old General Wei that he wanted to practice martial arts.

Only by learning martial arts well can I protect my sister.

When Wei Xingzhi rode quickly to the outside of the city, [-] elite soldiers had delivered grain and some relief money and were waiting [-] miles away.

The commander Wu Haichang, three or two school lieutenants, and a young man with a handsome appearance and an indifferent expression stood at the gate of the city. It seemed that he had arrived early.

Wei Xingzhi first set his sights on the young master. He was dressed in a green amber robe, warm and indifferent, with regular features but an expressionless face, and those eyes that should have been radiant also became dull and indifferent.

The original owner had seen this person before. Qin Changbai was two years older than the original owner. When he was young, he accompanied Uncle Qin to Danyang to celebrate his grandfather's birthday.

Probably when the original owner was five or six years old, at that time Qin Changbai was still a refined kid pretending to be mature, and was teased by the original owner and Zhou Han several times, and he called her sister Xingzhi with red eyes.

Wei Xingzhi jumped off his horse, greeted Commander Wu and several school lieutenants who were not very respectful, and walked up to Qin Changbai with a playful smile.

"Brother Chang Bai, long time no see!"

The playful and harsh voice was like a small stone thrown into Qin Changbai's calm lake of water, causing ripples.

His eyes brightened, and then returned to plain, and he took a brief look at Wei Xingzhi, who had grown into a slim, graceful girl.

The corners of his lips hooked slightly, "Master Wei."

That smile is awkward no matter how you look at it, Wei Xingzhi thinks that the red-eyed Qin Changbai who stubbornly calls her Xingzhi's sister in his memory is still alive.

I heard from my grandmother that Qin Changbai married a county magistrate, and they didn't get along after marriage.

She was about to ask why the eldest son of Prince Rui's Mansion didn't come, when a strong gust of whip came from behind her.

She frowned slightly, and was about to dodge sideways, but saw Qin Changbai in front of her suddenly grabbing her arm and pulling her behind.

"Bang——" a whip fell heavily on Qin Changbai's chest, and Wei Xingzhi's expression changed suddenly.

Dare to attack her from behind?

She raised her eyes to look at the person coming, and saw a woman wearing a blue double-breasted long skirt waving a spirit snake whip in her hand, her eyes were wide open, and her ordinary face twisted together ferociously.

"Bitch, let me tell you why Your Majesty wants you to go to Jizhou for disaster relief. It turns out it's because of this bitch!"

The sharp voice almost pierced everyone's eardrums.

Zhou Han and Fu Lianzi's complexion changed completely. Who is this woman, so bold, dare to beat Wei Xingzhi?

"I've heard that you had an affair with this bitch when you were young. I'm afraid this trip to Jizhou is fake, but the rekindling of the old relationship is true! Wei Xingzhi, you dare to seduce me, the head of Yulin County."

Qin Changbai's face was dark, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and there was a bloody whip mark on his chest, which showed that the whip was full of strength.

He shook his body slightly, fixed his eyes on the Yulin county master, grabbed Wei Xingzhi's wrist with one hand, and blocked him behind him.

"You are enough." He said suddenly, "Wei Xingzhi is the chief assistant minister of the court, and this time he was personally appointed as the imperial envoy. You insult her like this, and you are recruiting my Qin family!"

The Lord of Yulin County held the whip tightly in his hand, looked at Qin Changbai standing in front of Wei Xingzhi, and was furious, "How dare you defend her! If I don't give you a good lesson today, you won't know who is your wife." .”

"A mere slut dares to rob Yulin of my husband. Today I will take off her clothes and hang her on the tower so that people can take a good look. What kind of slut dares to seduce my man."

The whip rose into the air, and the posture and strength of holding the whip by Yulin County Lord were very standard.

Wei Xingzhi squinted his eyes, knowing how to act like a three-legged cat, he dared to come out and make a fool of himself.

Seeing that the whip was about to fall on Qin Changbai's body again, Wei Xingzhi shook off Qin Changbai's hand, drew out the long sword hanging obliquely from his waist, and sneered.

Who are you calling a bitch?
