I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 16 Linya City, Du Wanshan

Not long after everyone came down the mountain.

In a dense forest at the foot of the mountain, Master Guobei County looked at Zuo Dao and others in astonishment.

He originally thought that there were many evil spirits in Lanruo Temple, and even if these Jin Yiwei could survive, they would still lose a few people.

It might as well teach them a lesson and let them understand the principle that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake.

Unexpectedly, not only was there no one in this group of royal guards injured, but not even one of their horses was missing.

There was a look of embarrassment on the Master's face, then he got on his horse and galloped towards the Guobei County Government Office.

……

Zuo Dao and others who had just come down from the mountain naturally noticed the master galloping on horseback in the distance.

Zhao Hu whispered: "Sir, do you want me to go up and chop him?"

Zuo Dao waved his hand slightly and said: "No need to pay attention to it. As we have the emperor's orders, we should go to Linya City as soon as possible to take up our duties."

Zhao Hu heard the words, responded, and then looked away.

After coming down the mountain, everyone did some shopping in a nearby town, then rode their horses and ran towards Linya City.

This Linya City is located near the edge of Youzhou, not far from Shiwanda Mountain.

It can be said that this city is a checkpoint between Shiwandashan and Wei Dynasty, and it has always been heavily guarded.

It's a pity that there was a mutiny here a long time ago.

Rumor has it that because the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, the guard had thoughts he shouldn't have.

After this incident came out, the emperor Long Yan was furious.

Not only was the military power recovered, but the military strength was also reduced a lot.

They even sent strong men from the Jinyi Guards to guard this place, and all the big and small things that happened here were reported to Kyoto.

However, the good times did not last long. Demons gradually appeared in various places in the Wei Dynasty, and the Youzhou Jinyiwei suffered heavy losses.

Three of the Qianhu level Jinyiwei alone lost their lives.

This time, Zuo Dao was sent here not only to sharpen him, but also to test out the situation in Youzhou one last time.

If everything goes well, an envoy may be sent to take charge.

If it doesn't go so well, I'm afraid he will be commanded to lead the crowd to eliminate all evil spirits.

After walking on the road for nearly half a month, everyone finally saw the wall of Linya City from a distance.

Along the way, they saw many people migrating towards Kyoto, seemingly wanting to stay away from the Youzhou border.

They even saw a lot of bandits, bandits, and even horse bandits.

On top of this officialdom, he acts arrogantly, robs money, and kills people.

Whenever they encounter these gangsters, Zuo Dao will lead the crowd forward and kill them to pieces.

I'm afraid even those gangsters didn't expect that they would meet a Qianhu Jinyiwei in this damn place.

Everyone came to the foot of Linya City and looked at the towering Linya City wall in front of them.

The city wall is completely black, and I don't know what kind of bricks it is made of. There are soldiers guarding the city gate.

It was noon now, and there were quite a few people entering the city.

When the city guards saw Zuo Dao and others coming, they immediately stepped forward to stop them and said, "It costs three cents to enter the city for a ride. There are 13 of you in the group. The entry fee for the city is 39 cents."

Zhao Huce immediately stepped forward and threw his badge of trying to test a hundred households into the man's hand.

He said, "Zuo Qianhu from Kyoto has come to Youzhou to take up a post. Please find someone to take us to the Jinyiwei garrison."

Hearing the words Jin Yiwei, the man visibly trembled.

Then he carefully looked at Zhao Hu's waist badge and immediately changed his face.He smiled flatteringly and said, "My lords, please follow me."

With that said, he respectfully returned the belt card to Zhao Hu and arranged for other soldiers to cover his shortcomings.

Then he led the way in front, leading everyone into the city and towards the Jinyiwei station.

As soon as he left, another person ran in a different direction towards the city to report to the city lord.

The man led Zuo Dao and others to a government office near the city.

There were two guards at the yamen gate. They saw this man coming with Zuo Dao and others.He immediately stepped forward and said:

"Who are you? Why do you come to my Jinyiwei Yamen?"

The soldier leading the way hurriedly said: "My lord, these are the lords from Kyoto who said they would come here to serve."

Hearing the soldier speak, the gatekeepers looked at each other.

Then he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "May I ask, sir, are you Zuo Qianhu from Kyoto?"

Zuo Dao heard this and said, "Do you know me?"

One of them said: "Reporting to Qianhu, the letter falcon from the imperial court arrived at the Yamen half a month ago, so we know that your Excellency is coming to Yacheng to take up a post."

Zuo Dao nodded slightly, but Kyoto moved quickly.

It must have been that he had just left the city, and a letter falcon was sent to tell him the news of his upcoming appointment.

He turned over and dismounted, let Zhao Hu hold the horse, and led everyone into the Jinyiwei Yamen.

What Linya City said when he sent a message to Kyoto last time.

The entire Youzhou Jinyi Guards suffered heavy losses, except for the death of Qianhu who was guarding them.

In the land of one state, there is only one Jinyiwei deputy from a thousand households, three from a hundred households, and seven from a hundred households.

In total, there are only about 300 people.

In such a huge Youzhou, there are only 200 Jinyi guards left, more than [-] of them are the most ordinary warriors and captains.

So he had just applied to be sent to guard a state, and he was sent to Youzhou.

Not only was he promoted to a thousand households, but he also had the power of appointment and dismissal that ordinary thousand households did not have.

It is even possible to bring people from Kyoto to take up posts to fill the vacancies in Youzhou, which shows how serious the losses here have been.

As soon as everyone walked into the courtyard, they saw a pale middle-aged man walking towards them.

Coming closer, he bowed to Zuo Dao and said, "Du Wanshan, a humble official, has met Lord Qianhu."

The Jin Yiwei who led the way whispered: "Sir, this is our Du Wanshan Deputy Qianhu."

Zuo Dao stepped forward, looked at the pale Du Wanshan, and said, "Is Du Qianhu injured?"

Du Wanshan forced a smile, waved his hand and said: "It's just a minor injury, nothing worth mentioning. Sir, please follow me into the lobby."

After hearing this, Zuo Dao followed Du Wanshan into the lobby and sat at the head seat.

Du Wanshan looked at Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others brought by Zuo Dao, and couldn't help but frown slightly, with a flash of disappointment in his eyes.

He originally thought that this Qianhu from Kyoto who dared to come to Youzhou to work hard would at least bring some capable officers.

But he only brought two trial hundred households and ten general banners.

Isn't this person who offended someone in Kyoto and came here to die?

He stepped forward to check the appointment documents, and then said: "Master Qi, now only Zaixia and a few general banners are left in the Yamen, and the remaining [-] households and [-] trial households have taken people to eliminate demons in various places. , they cannot come back to see you for the time being, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Hearing this, Zuo Dao glanced at Du Wanshan and said, "Compared to them, I want to know what happened to Du Qianhu's injuries?"

Hearing this, Du Wanshan smiled bitterly and said: "The injuries on the humble body are all old problems. They were injured by evil spirits when he and Li Qianhu were stationed at Shiwanda Mountain."
