Fairy Court respects it alone

Chapter 24
Zhao Qingren left the top of the archery tower, followed the cramped stairs to the bottom of the city gate, and called to open the city gate.

As the three gates made of lacquered wood with a length of [-] centimeters were slowly opened, he also brought a few cronies of the Zhao family, who were also the signers of the seventh rank, to the outside of the city gate, with a complicated expression on their faces. Looking at Zhao Ming and others who were approaching.

"Master, the person coming over here should be Master Ming, right?" Beside him, there was a gunner who had grown up with him. At this time, he was still holding a blunderbuss with a barrel as thick as a thumb in his arms, and he was looking at the front. The approaching and orderly marching ranks couldn't help being amazed: "Master Ming, where did you recruit such elites?"

Even this seventh-rank signing gunner, and the Zhao family's comrades around him, can tell that the [-]-odd troops that Zhao Ming brought back this time are not the ones he took away at all, those self-recruited troops Come Minzhuang.

Those people are full of food, have a little idle strength, and have just enough energy and blood.

Calculated by the standards of the Dao of Heaven, it is only a Minzhuang from the ninth rank.

Can't even get into the Ninth Rank.

Look at the many soldiers led by Zhao Ming, they are all powerful and vigorous.

All of them held their chests up and raised their heads, looking valiant and high-spirited. Just by looking at this spirit, one could tell that it was definitely not a low-level brave from the eighth rank, but a genuine eighth rank with combat experience and morale. Xiangyong!
If he hadn't been able to detect that the Qi and blood hadn't reached the level of overflow, I'm afraid that someone who said that the seventh-rank lottery army would believe it!
But that's the problem.

"..." Zhao Qingren looked at the young man coming in front of him, and was speechless for a moment.

"Master?" Only the gunner who was following him, his playmate from childhood, gently touched his arm with his arm, and gently reminded: "Master Ming, isn't he here? Don't think too much." .”

"Oh... um." Zhao Qingren was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized it.

At this time, there is no need to think too much.

Looking at the young man, he could vaguely feel the pretty face of his sister when she was young.

Zhao Qingren couldn't help sighing from the bottom of his heart: "Father said at the beginning that the happiest is the right family, and you can live in peace and harmony in your life. If you really listened to what your father said, why did you come here?"

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Qingren's expression remained unchanged, and he still took half a step forward.

"Uncle!" Zhao Ming hurried over from the front.

Facing Zhao Qingren, he bowed his head: "My nephew came back, unexpectedly troubled my uncle to greet him personally, I am so terrified!"

Of course Zhao Ming knew how to be a man, especially in front of so many people. He realized that in front of other powerful figures in Yuli County on the watchtower, following the basic etiquette would make a better first impression.

The point is that although he was lukewarm towards this uncle, he also raised him.

Not much hate and loathing.

On the contrary, I am a little grateful.

"Well, it's good to be back." Zhao Qingren stretched out his hand and helped Zhao Ming up.

Looking at the Zhao Ming in front of him, who had his older sister more and more in between his brows, and a little outline of himself, he also vaguely noticed the image of the handsome young man he had met outside.

This made Zhao Qingren feel more and more depressed. Looking at Zhao Ming, he nodded and said tiredly: "It's really good that you are the first one to come back this time. Our commander in Yuli County, Mr. Wang Runan, said he wanted to see you. You Clean up your appearance alone, then follow me to the archery tower, calm down when encountering anything, talk less and nod more."

"Master Wang Runan, Commander, wants to see me?" Zhao Ming was slightly stunned, but still nodded, bowed his hands together and said, "My nephew knows that at the top of the watchtower, he must be by Uncle's side, following what Uncle said."

"Be modest and polite." Zhao Qingren shook his head: "It's nothing serious."

The only big thing is the importance of Commander Wang Runan.

This is the big deal.

The others, no matter who they are, are nothing in front of Wang Runan, the commander registered in the imperial court.

"Nephew understands." Zhao Ming cupped his hands and arranged for the people behind him to rest outside the gate of the county seat temporarily. He followed Zhao Qingren and walked up the stairs next to him, reaching the top of the watchtower.

In the stairwell, there are sometimes a group of ten people, men wearing heavy-duty armor connected in series by pieces of iron sheets and wires, each holding a spear and axe, standing in the corner with a fierce expression, and holding a pistol. The man with the long-tipped bow in the hands of the peasant archer under his command, and the man with the thicker war bow, was stationed behind the hollow of the archery tower.

Including the burly military man who is holding a blunderbuss, a gunpowder gourd and a lead cloth bag on his waist, and a melee weapon such as a hand ax or an iron bone hanging on his waist, looking at himself with fierce eyes, etc. people.

"Loose on the outside and tight on the inside." This was Zhao Ming's evaluation of the county government's Chengfang from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that the outside is to let many villages defend themselves.

but,

In this county, they are ready to attack at any time!

Thinking about those who have been sent out before, those who are in charge of assisting the suppression of the bandits, Li Yingjie and Li Yingjie, who is the inspection captain on the left, can also find that the Yuli County Yamen is actually still firmly controlling the situation .

There was no panic at all because of the large number of monster bandits pouring out of Lihe Mountain.

"The junior in Yuli County, Zhao Ming, met the commander, the deputy commander, and all the squadrons!"

Zhao Ming came to the top of the city gate and bowed to salute.

Still bowing one by one.

In terms of etiquette, it is the most basic respect for the powerful figures in Yuli County who stand at the highest place.

"Well, what a young man, what a handsome talent I have cultivated in Yuli County!" Immediately, the conductor Wang Runan laughed, and walked over in person, looked at Zhao Ming carefully and said, "I have to take a good look and recognize you !"

"Your honor is too high." Zhao Ming just bowed to show his humility.

"That's not an exaggeration."

Wang Runan nodded with a smile, stroked the beautiful beard under his chin and said, "You can afford it!"

He also looked at the two deputy commanders next to him, as well as the patriarchs of several families who served as official officials in the third class and six rooms of the county government, and asked with a smile: "What do you think? The first young man who came back from the outside , can't you count as a handsome talent?"

"Of course it counts!" The people around responded, their eyes flickering at Zhao Ming.

Including the only two deputy commanders.

Wu Guangyan and Li Zheng.

For Li Zheng, Zhao Ming is the future son-in-law of his Li family.

Thinking about how his daughter had identified this young man who he didn't care about at the beginning, Li Zheng was a little pondering: "I didn't expect this Zhao Ming, who really meant to ride the wind..." Thinking about how his daughter has never been In the letter from Qinghe Palace, he also asked about Zhao Ming's matters, and it was also a bit sad: "Women's university is not allowed to stay."

Of course, Li Zheng didn't show much expression on his face, he just agreed with the people around him, he laughed when they laughed, and he was quiet when they were quiet, this is the essence of harmony in the officialdom.

If there is really any sharing, then the sharing is over in the dark, and now it is on the surface.

It is the corners and corners that have been divided.

At least.

His only son, Li Yingjie, already has a job as a guerrilla envoy, just waiting to be approved by the newspaper.

However, Wu Guangyan, who was dark-skinned and relatively rough, looked at Zhao Ming at this time, seemingly simple and honest as everyone laughed and laughed foolishly, but there was a bit of awe in the depths of his eyes.

Glancing at Wang Runan next to him, he looked at Li Zheng without leaving a trace out of the corner of his eye.

The awe-inspiring look in his eyes turned into a bit of hatred.

"That's natural!"

But following Wang Runan's words, he continued to laugh silly.

If he hadn't risked his life to save him back then.

This Wang Runan has long been surrounded by ghost kings in the underworld, and he sucked up all his blood and soul!
Unexpectedly, after Wang Runan became prosperous, he left many matters to Li Zheng and many outsiders who followed him to this county, and he, the brother who saved his life, only gave a small favor!

Especially since my children are about to grow up, I can't leave any family property in the future...

Doesn't that mean that your own children have to follow other people's buttocks?
Wu Guangyan refused to accept this!
With a simple and honest appearance, he looks like a reckless man, but who is really a reckless man who has no little thoughts of his own?
In front, Wang Runan was still smiling: "You are a talented person from Yuli County. A few days ago, the Defense Envoy of Linhai County sent me an order, saying that there are young talents who should be reported and trained. I think This Zhao Ming is quite good, he was born in Yuli County, and he is also a branch of the Zhao family in Linhai County, so you are the only one!"

"Young generation... Thank you, Commander!" Zhao Ming also worked at the grassroots level in his previous life, step by step to the director of the real power office of a municipal unit. There is absolutely no problem with his emotional intelligence and thinking, and he bowed immediately: "Commander, thank you Zhao Ming will never forget the kindness of the younger generation's support and support! The heart of the fist, as the kindness of dripping water springs up to repay each other, and repay the adult's cultivation and support!"

"Hahahaha, good good good good good good good good good good good good good!" Wang Runan burst out laughing, and waved boldly to Zhao Qingren who was still silent beside him: "This is not only your Qilin son of Zhao Qingren, but also my Qilin son of Yuli County!"

"The Zhao family is unforgettable to Commander-in-Chief!" Zhao Qingren bowed deeply.

"Okay!" Wang Runan's laughter spread throughout the gate tower.

Everyone also echoed with a smile.

This is officialdom.

In a few words, the matter was settled.

Zhao Ming understands this.

"That's right." Wang Runan seemed to have thought of something at this time, and looked at Zhao Ming again: "Xiazhou has approved a batch of quotas, saying that it will allow the people of the ninth rank to be promoted once for free to the eighth rank. country brave."

As he said that, he also looked at the other people upstairs in the city gate, as if asking, and as if making a decision, he asked: "You said, we are a talented person in Yuli County, no matter what, there must be Zhao Ming, then I will make a decision first, there are 3000 people in our Yuli County in this batch of quotas, so how about setting aside 200 people for Zhao Ming?"

"Your Commander's eyes are as bright as a torch, and I have no objection." Everyone on the gate tower also stretched out their hands and bowed, but secretly, they looked at Wang Runan and Zhao Ming next to him thoughtfully.

This Wang Runan is not a generous person, and he has never shown his support for the Zhao family's heirs before.

It looks like this now.

Look at the courage of the more than [-] people brought by Zhao Ming.

"Is that one still concerned?" These people suddenly understood: "...So that's the case!"
