Chapter 560 Lin Yi cannot be the 'county magistrate'
"Yuzhou - Yingchuan County", the county seat - outside Yangzhai City, [Yingchuan Academy].

Inside the Zangshu Pavilion, which has not changed all year round, it is still quiet and quiet.

The difference is that the figure in plain clothes who used to be here every day is no longer there.Instead, there was a young man who was about ten years old, with an immature face, and a sickly youthful air on his fair face.

"Fengxiao, are you writing books again?"

Just as the young man was looking at the bamboo slips in his hand attentively, a clear greeting sounded outside the window of the library.

"Huh? Brother Guan?"

The young man who was called Fengxiao raised his head when he heard the sound, looked in the direction of the window, and nodded: "Master said: Isn't it the same thing to learn and practice it from time to time? Reviewing the past and learning the new will not make you a teacher in my eyes. But there are indeed some different perceptions..."

"You kid..." The student surnamed Guan outside the window shook his head helplessly and said, "I didn't expect that after Mingxuan and Zhicai left, there would be another one like you..."

"That's all, I'll go have a drink later, and you can warm up here and read a book——"

After saying that, he looked around the scenery in the library from the window, then turned and left.

"Are Lin Mingxuan and Xi Zhicai?"

Looking at the retreating figure, the young man named Feng Xiao had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, the young man regained his wandering mind and lowered his head to look at a scroll of bamboo slips he had just discovered in the corner of the bookshelf a few days ago.

However, I saw that the style of this bamboo slip was similar to most of the bamboo slips in the library.

The only difference is the bamboo slip rolled up inside. No, that should be called a bamboo slip!
This bamboo piece is different from other parts of the bamboo slip in terms of length, width, thickness, and color.

Fengxiao rubbed the handwriting engraved on the bamboo piece with his fingertips, feeling the artistic conception left on it by the owner of the font, but a wave of shock arose in his heart.

Fengxiao looked away from the five seal characters "Mingxuan Random Record" on the top of the bamboo slip, and then looked at other parts of the bamboo slip.

Unlike the fonts on the bamboo slips that seemed to be branded, the writing on other parts of the bamboo slips had obvious traces of carving with a carving knife.

The first slip of paper that comes into view is engraved from top to bottom with the words "Inspiration after watching the drama Zhicai".

Holding this bamboo slip that he had been reading over and over again for several days, the young man Fengxiao's eyes were on 'My name is Lin Yi... I have learned the method of soul refining by myself. I can nourish the soul in one day, and break through the fifth level of soul cultivation in seven days...' , and "I am a talented actor, far inferior to Mingxuan. I learned the method of soul refining by myself, and it took me half a month to nourish the soul. It took me a year to break through the fifth level of soul nourishment..." After passing by, an impulse suddenly came to my heart.

Subconsciously looking around, when he was sure that he was the only one in the library at this time, the young man Fengxiao took out a short carving knife from his sleeve...

……

On the other side, in Yangdi City, the mansion of [Xun Family].

Xun Yu, who had just returned to his family from the divine capital "Luoyang", had no time to rest. As soon as he entered the house, he went straight to his nephew Xun You's courtyard.

When he saw Xun You, who was playing chess with him, holding black and white stones in his left and right hands, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"Gongda, I met Guan Qiwen and others when I first entered the city. According to what he said, Zhicai traveled far away?!"

"Uncle~"

Xun You put down the black and white pieces in his hand, stood up and bowed his hands to Xun Yu in a serious manner.

"Okay, Gongda, tell me quickly, don't be so polite..." Xun Yu looked helplessly at his nephew, who was older than him, seemed dull, but was stupid on the outside and wise on the inside.

Faced with Xun Yu's questioning, Xun You still responded unhurriedly: "Back to uncle, after Zhicai received a letter from "Jizhou-Changshan Kingdom" a few months ago, he applied for a suspension of study at the academy. He said that he had recently There is a saying: 'Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles'."

"From then on, I went on a study tour~"

Listening to Xun You's narration, Xun Yu frowned slightly at first, then relaxed his brows, and murmured in a low voice: "Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles? Hmm... Not bad! Small words mean great things, but they contain hidden meaning..."

Then, Xun Yu raised his eyes to look at Xun You, nodded and said: "In that case, I only hope that when I meet Zhicai again in the future, I can continue to talk to him freely about the world."

Then, Xun Yu changed the topic and asked again:
"It's the letter from "Jizhou-Changshan Country". Do you know which one it came from?"

"The phrase "read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles" that Zhicai said should come from that letter, right?"

"Nine times out of ten~" Xun You nodded with his expression still dull, and replied concisely: "Uncle ordered someone to investigate, and the letter should be written by Lin Yi and Lin Mingxuan."

"Mingxuan?" Xun Yu's eyes moved slightly, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face, "Is there any news about Mingxuan? It's been more than half a year since he said goodbye..."

"So, he is not in 'Chenliu County' now, but has gone to 'Jizhou-Changshan Country' instead?"

Xun You: "That should be the case."

"Why did he go there?" Xun Yu was a little curious.

"According to what my uncle sent people to find out, since Lin Mingxuan returned to his hometown, he didn't stay long. Instead, he went east to study all the way. When passing through Jiwu County, he met a nine-level body forging master. Under his protection, he traveled all the way to study youth. , You, Bing, and Jizhou."

Xun You's voice was calm, and he slowly introduced to his uncle Xun Yu:

"He seems to have shown kindness to several foreigners on the grassland and won their loyalty. He also exchanged green salt for a lot of cattle, sheep, horses, and furs. Now he is leading the rescued Han people at [Wuheng] on the border of 'Youzhou' , formed a caravan named [Qinglin Traveling Merchants], and now settle down their family business in ‘Jizhou-Changshan Country’…”

"That's it~" Xun Yu said with a smile:
"I didn't expect that Mingxuan's experience in the past half year or so would be so magnificent. I wish I could go with him and see the scenery and culture of each state..."

"Indeed," Xun Yu paused, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mingxuan to be capable of Tao Zhugong."

Tao Zhugong, also known as Fan Li, assisted King Gou Jian of Yue in destroying Wu in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He can be called the originator of Taoism and Shang.

Using this to praise Lin Yi shows that Xun Yu had an extremely good impression of Lin Yi and his evaluation was quite high.

Xun You slowly shook his head and said: "Since Emperor Taizu Gao ruled by inaction and allowed the salt and iron industry to run privately, until Emperor Wu took it back to the government and Emperor Zhao abolished the government monopoly, there have been many people who have enriched themselves with salt, but such as Lin Mingxuan In this way, there are very few people who exchange a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses from [Wuheng] and [Xianbei]..."

"My nephew thinks that Lin Mingxuan is not as capable as Tao Zhugong, but as capable as Su Qin and Zhang Yi!"

Xun Yu: "..."

……

At the same time, "Jizhou-Changshan Kingdom" was in the west of Shiyi County and at the foot of Jingxing Mountain.

In a newly built manor, Lin Yi and Lin Mingxuan, who were being discussed by the Xun family's uncle and nephew, happened to meet someone who had arrived early but spent six or seven days looking around.

"Brother Zhicai, farewell to the academy. How have you been lately?" Lin Yi looked at the visitor and asked with a smile.

"Thank you Brother Lin for your concern~"

The visitor, Xi Zhicai, first bowed his hands to Lin Yi politely, and then asked curiously: "I don't know what Brother Lin invited you for?"

"Brother Lin is kind to Zhicai, but he has some instructions. As long as it does not violate justice, Zhicai will do his best!"

"Yes?"

Lin Yi's expression was suitably startled, and then he looked at Xi Zhicai's figure, as if he was sensing something. After a few breaths, he smiled and said:

"It turns out that those lies that Yi left behind unexpectedly caught the eye of Brother Zhicai, and made Brother Zhicai laugh..."

"Brother Yu Lin is a master of craftsmanship, but with Xi Mou, it is the foundation for changing his life." Xi Zhicai looked at Lin Yi seriously and said: "Brother Lin, please accept Xi Mou's worship..."

With that said, Xi Zhicai put his hands together and bowed to Lin Yi.

Fortunately, Lin Yi quickly took two steps forward, held Xi Zhicai's arm, and used his strength to stop him, "Brother Zhicai is too out of touch. This time, I can travel thousands of miles with a letter from Yi." Come here, how can such a friendship be taken lightly?"

"Yi only had high hopes at first, but unexpectedly Brother Zhicai actually came, which made Yi very happy!"

Listening to Lin Yi's heartfelt words, Xi Zhicai was deeply moved, and felt the irresistible power in Lin Yi's hands. He felt that he could not shake it, so he stood up and asked again: "I wonder what Mingxuan wants to do. May I serve you? But please speak up—!"

Facing Xi Zhicai's second question, Lin Yi stretched out his hand to guide him to sit down, then picked up the tea cup on the table between them, took a sip, and laughed harmoniously:
"Yi bought the governor of six counties. I can't handle it alone. Zhicai, can you help me become the governor of one county?"

"Pfft——! Cough cough cough——!!"

Xi Zhicai()!!!
　Lin Yi: What?I can't be the county magistrate?
