When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 56 Xu Gongming

Guan Yu narrowed his almond-shaped eyes and looked at the official who posted the notice. He was a typical northern man, eight feet tall and strong.

You can tell at first glance that he has the potential to be a powerful general.

It's a pity that he is just a minor official.

Fortunately, he was just a minor official.

Who could have thought that a minor official from the same county would become his rival in the future?
wrong.

He was still a commoner some time ago.

But now, because of his military achievements, he and his third brother were promoted to the rank of county commander.

The commandery commander is in charge of the military affairs of a county.

Guan Yu laughed in silence. If he had not met his elder brother, his current situation would definitely be worse than Xu Gongming.

"Captain, how about we call Xu Gongming over?"

Guan Yu shook his head, "It doesn't matter for a while, just wait a moment."

"promise."

The guards retreated behind Guan Yu.

After Xu Huang posted the notice and read out the announcement, his throat was already so dry that it was about to smoke. Just when he wanted to go to the teahouse to have a glass of water.

"Kou Ming."

A fat and big-eared official called out to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang sighed inwardly, but he did not dare to complain to the senior official. He could only stop and ask, "What do you want me to do?"

The fat on the official's face was shaking. He said, "Gongming, your career is not easy to come by, you must cherish it. You are young, and you need to exercise more. If there is a chance, I can say a few good words to the county magistrate and recommend you to serve as an official in the county."

Xu Huang was not a fool. He understood what the clerk meant. It was obvious that he was asked to do work beyond his duties, but he could not refuse. After all, the man in front of him was related to his superior.
"Just tell me what you want me to do."

The official was very satisfied with Xu Huang's performance. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. A foul odor emanated from the grin, making Xu Huang's eyelids twitch wildly.

"Okay, okay, then I'll be frank. The county magistrate wants to issue a notice, but the county office is short of manpower right now, so I have to trouble Gongming."

Xu Huang fell silent.

The smile on the official's face gradually faded, and his thick brows began to wrinkle.
Xu Huang chose to compromise. He clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

After saying this, he rushed straight to the county government office.

The official twirled his beard and smiled, thinking: Xu Gongming, ah Xu Gongming, it's your fault for not paying enough money.

He turned around and saw a group of county residents surrounding him. He raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "What are you looking at? Are you dissatisfied with me?"

The county residents didn't dare to say much. They looked at each other and then left.

The official shook his sleeves, snorted coldly, and strode away.

Guan Yu saw it all.

The guard said angrily: "This guy is really hateful! Isn't this bullying?"

"Young man, I advise you to speak less." said the old man who had just been caught by the guards.

The guard was puzzled, "Old man, why do you say that?"

The old man sighed and said, "Do you know who the county magistrate is?"

"Who?" The guard became interested.

The old man looked around and pulled Guan Yu and the guards to a remote corner.

Seeing that there were no people around, he felt relieved and said, "I see that you two are not ordinary people, but a hero cannot stand up to four hands, and a vicious tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves! The county magistrate is an old soldier of the county governor!"

"County Governor?" the guard asked, "Old man, do you know who the Hedong County Governor is?"

The old man sighed, "Judging from your accents, the leading hero should be from Hedong, right?"

Guan Yu nodded. He was now a captain, so he had been cleaned up and had nothing to hide. He clasped his fists and said frankly, "I am from Hedong."

"You haven't been back for many years, right?" asked the old man.

Guan Yu replied: "You are so wise, old man. I have been wandering for many years."

"No wonder, no wonder." The old man changed the subject, "Then let me tell you about the governor of Hedong. His surname is Dong, his given name is Zhuo, and his courtesy name is Zhongying."

Dong Zhuo Dong Zhongying!!!

Guan Yu's hand stroking his beard suddenly stopped, his eyes slightly widened, and a flash of lightning flashed through his mind. Isn't this the rebel in the future? Now he is the governor of my hometown? ? ? Shouldn't he be in Liangzhou?
Guan Yu's mood became more complicated, and he frowned slightly. It turned out that this was the difference from the book.
Wait until the old man finishes speaking.

Guan Yu clasped his fists and thanked him: "I see. Thank you very much, old man."

The two men watched the old man leave, and the guard couldn't help but say, "Captain, I didn't expect a county magistrate to have such a strong background."

Guan Yu took a deep look at the guard and sighed in his heart: What's so surprising about this? If he didn't have a background, he wouldn't even be able to keep the county magistrate? Even the county lieutenant can't keep his position.

However, Guan Yu did not say much, but patted the guard's shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, we will go after Xu Gongming." "Yes!"

Guan Yu and his guards rode on good horses and followed Xu Huang's slow horse from a distance. If it weren't for their superb riding skills, they would have surpassed Xu Huang in a nap.

See Xu Huang enter the village.

Guan Yu called out to the guards who were about to catch up with him, "Stop, don't go into the village, we will dismount and wait here."

"Yes!" The guards dismounted and waited.

Guan Yu and his guards waited at the entrance of the village for a long time. As the sun got higher and higher and the heat became more intense, even Guan Yu, who was standing under the shade of a tree, had beads of sweat on his forehead.

The guard took out a water gourd and said hurriedly, "Captain, please use some water."

"Okay, thank you."

Guan Yu took the water gourd and just as he pulled out the cork, he saw Xu Huang, who was tired and panting, walking out, pulling his slow horse.

When Xu Huang saw the water gourd in Guan Yu's hand, a light flashed in his eyes. However, when he saw the clothes and appearance of Guan Yu's guards, especially the aura they exuded, the light in his pupils instantly died.

There is no mistake. These two people have definitely been to the battlefield. They dare to stand at the entrance of the village. They are definitely people I can't afford to offend.
forget it
I have to rush to the next town, which will waste time. I am afraid I won’t be able to get back to the county government office before dark.
Xu Huang gritted his teeth and endured the dryness in his throat. He drank a bowl of water from the village treasurer, but the sun was too scorching and the horse could not bear it. He could not ride at all.
Only access to nearby streams.
Just as Xu Huang was thinking about this.

"But do you need water?"

A powerful voice sounded.

Xu Huang looked over in astonishment. It was a man with a long beard and phoenix eyes, who looked quite strong.

Xu Huang raised his finger and pointed it at his face.

"Yes, it's you."

Guan Yu smiled and waved towards Xu Huang.

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, then he led his horse to Guan Yu, took the water gourd, and said, "Thank you!"

Then he uncorked the gourd and began to drink the wine in big gulps.

"Comfortable! Refreshing!!!" After drinking the water, Xu Huang felt like he was alive again, and even the heat in his body subsided a lot.

Xu Huang clasped his fists and said, "May I ask what your names are?"

"My surname is Guan, my given name is Yu, and I am from Xieliang, Hedong."

"I don't know my name. I'm just a soldier under Captain Guan."

When Xu Huang heard what the guard said, his hands froze and he cried out, "Captain?!!!"

He realized his gaffe. The name Guan Yu sounded familiar. Although he couldn't confirm his identity at the moment, he temporarily assumed that this man was a captain.

Xu Huang quickly bowed to Guan Yu and said, "Huang, I am so sorry for not knowing Commander Guan. It is my fault!"

Guan Yu grabbed Xu Huang's hand and said, "No need to do this, no need to do this. I am just a commander of a county in Liang Province. Brother Gongming, just treat me as an ordinary person."

Yuju?

Xu Huang was puzzled as to why the commander of Liangzhou came to their Hedong County.

"I don't know if Guan Duwei came to Yang County in Hedong."

Guan Yu smiled and said, "I will tell you all this in detail later. Now I have a question. I wonder if Brother Gongming can answer it?"

"Please say."

Guan Yu restrained his smile and said seriously: "Xu Gongming, are you really willing to waste half your life in the county government?"

"."

This question was like a hammer hitting Xu Huang's chest. All the trivial things in recent days emerged in front of him, and his unwillingness and grievances emerged all at once. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "I am unwilling, but what can I do?"

Guan Yu looked at Xu Huang and said seriously, "Now I am entrusted by the noble man to come and invite Brother Gongming to work together to achieve great things and make unprecedented achievements!"

"Your Excellency?" Xu Huang regained his consciousness and asked, "May I ask who your Excellency is?"

Guan Yu puffed out his chest proudly: "The governor of Jincheng, Liu Bei Liu Xuande!!!"

"What???!"

Xu Huang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart beat faster. He swallowed and asked, "Is it the Liu Fujun who made a chair for his mother, the Tiger of Youzhou, and the famous chivalrous man?!!!"

"That's right." Guan Yu also took out the official seal of the Jincheng Commandery Commandant and showed it to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang fell silent. He sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the most popular Lord Liu actually knew me, Xu Gongming."

"Captain Guan, I am willing to accept the invitation from Lord Liu!"

"Okay, okay, then I will let Gongming take on the position of Chief Clerk in our army for now."

"promise!"

　There should be more. I will code it as soon as possible.
