Day two.

Luo Xin just brought Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan to the governor's office. The entire governor's office occupies a very large area. There is a square outside the governor's office. A large flag is erected in the middle of the square, passing through the square. Then I saw a gate with two huge stone lions on both sides of the gate.

The huge gate is open, so you can see the scenery inside through the open gate. There is a small square inside the gate, and there is a big flag in the center of the square. Looking past the big flag, it is the middle gate of the Governor's Mansion .

Before going to the gate outside, you can feel the majesty and oppression brought by this building.The empty square and tall buildings give people a very strong visual impact.Moreover, from the middle gate to the outside of the gate, a team of sergeants in armor and swords stood on both sides of the road, adding to the majesty.

"What a feudal official!" Luo Xin sighed, thinking that when he was briefly in charge of the military power in the nine towns in the north, he was not as majestic as Hu Zongxian, so he sighed again in his heart:
"This Hu Zongxian was killed by Emperor Jiajing in the end."

Stepping forward, he was still more than ten meters away from the soldiers lined up, and saw the leader of the soldiers yelling at Luo Xin:
"The governor's mansion is the most important place, the idlers retreat, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"

Luo Xin didn't force his way, he came here to take care of Hu Zongxian's important soldiers. Although he knew that Emperor Jiajing had ordered it, Hu Zongxian could give him elite soldiers, or ordinary soldiers, or old and weak soldiers, as long as the number Enough is not an objection.So from this point of view, Luo Xin came to beg Hu Zongxian, so Luo Xin paused and said:
"My official Hangzhou Tongzhi Luo Xin, come to pay a visit to Hu Butang. This is my invitation."

After saying that, he cast a look at Lu Daqing, and Lu Daqing walked towards the leading sergeant holding the greeting card in both hands.After the sergeant in charge took the invitation, he glanced at Luo Xin, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes and said:

"Wait!"

After the words fell, he strode towards the door.Luo Xin naturally saw a trace of curiosity in the sergeant's eyes.I was certain in my heart, from now on, I could see that these people must have heard of me, and knew that I was the magistrate of Hangzhou now, and if they wanted to come to see Hu Zongxian, they waited there quietly.

This wait lasted nearly three quarters of an hour, Luo Xin stood there with his hands behind his back, his face calm.But both Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan showed anger on their faces.And at this moment, the sergeant came out from inside, Luo Xin's eyes narrowed, because he saw only the sergeant came out, and there was no one else behind him.There was something bad in his heart, even if Hu Zongxian was of a higher rank than him, if he didn't come out to meet him, someone should come out.

And at this time, the sergeant had already walked in front of him, and said with a calm face:
"Master Luo, the Master is not here, please come back another day."

Luo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "When will the Master come back?"

"How do I know?" The sergeant smiled sarcastically, turned around and left, not paying attention to Luo Xin.

"Master Hou!"

Wan Daquan took a step forward and put one hand on the handle of the knife, but Luo Xin waved his hand and said:

"Let's go back and come back tomorrow!"

"Master Hou!"

"go back!"

"Yes, Lord Hou!"

Luo Xin turned and left, Wan Daquan and Lu Daqing followed behind with sullen faces.When he returned to the post station, Wan Daquan's expression was still filled with indignation.

"Master Hou..."

"Don't worry, Hu Zongxian will meet me." Luo Xin said lightly.

"But……"

"He just wants to show me off, and he doesn't want me to interfere with his affairs."

"He dares?" Wan Daquan raised his eyebrows, "Tomorrow I will lead someone to kill him."

"Can you get in?" Luo Xin looked at Wan Daquan with a funny face.

"Is there anything that can't be killed?" Wan Daquan straightened his waist and said, "Back when we were able to follow Lord Hou across the grassland, I didn't believe that a small governor's mansion could stop us."

"What if you break into the gate and there are archers outside the middle gate?"

"I……"

"Okay, so what if you rushed in and met Hu Zongxian?"

"Take care of him."

"What if all he gave you were the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled?"

"I……"

"And have you considered it? If we forcibly break into the Governor's Mansion, we will give Xu Jie and the others a handle. What will His Majesty think of me?"

"Then will you bear it, Lord Hou?"

"Well, bear with it!" Luo Xin nodded and said: "Everything must be based on the situation in the southeast."

Wan Daquan shook his arms in resentment and stood there with a sullen face and said nothing.Luo Xin waved his hand and said:
"Let's go out first, we will go to see Hu Butang tomorrow."

the next day.
Luo Xin still only brought Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan to the Governor's Mansion, the encounter was still the same as yesterday, and Luo Xin turned around and left with a calm expression.

Inside the Governor's Palace.

Hu Zongxian listened to his subordinates' report, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "How does Luo Xin look?"

"Very peaceful!"

Hu Zongxian waved his hand, and the sergeant retreated.Hu Zongxian stood up, took two steps on the ground, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice:
"It's not easy, it really is the Great Ming Army God."

"My lord!" A middle-aged scribe stood up and said, "I think that Luo Xin has a false name, why don't we hang him up for a few days like this, maybe he just left like this."

Hu Zongxian shook his head and said: "Don't be confused by Luo Xin's performance, although he has been very low-key since returning to Beijing, making people feel very timid and timid. But you only need to think about his killing when he was fighting the Mongols Decisive, and thinking about killing all the people who ambushed him a few days ago, you know that he is a ruthless person."

"That……"

"I can't hang him anymore. Hanging him for two days is just a warning to him, let him just take care of his Shibo department, don't put your hand in me. If you hang up again, His Majesty will explain Not over."

"Then we really give them an army?"

"Give it! Why not give it! And give more. You go to the barracks now to pick out [-] old, weak, sick and disabled, and deliver it to Luo Xin tomorrow."

"Yes, my lord! My lord is really tall!"

"Hahaha..." Hu Zongxian laughed loudly: "I want to see how Luo Xin, the military god, uses five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled to protect him."

"And how does he feed these five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled!" the scribe said in a concentrated voice.

"Hahaha..." The two laughed loudly.

Day three.

Before Luo Xin reached the gate of the Governor's Mansion, his eyes narrowed slightly. He saw a few people standing in front of the gate. Although he had never seen Hu Zongxian, he recognized the man standing in the middle at a glance. It is Hu Zongxian.Sure enough, when Hu Zongxian saw Luo Xin, before he came to him, he strode forward, laughed boldly and said:
"Hahaha... no! Brother has been looking forward to you for a long time."

Luo Xin curled his lips in confidence, but the expression on his face was very regular, and he saluted Hu Zongxian:

"Hangzhou Tongzhi, my subordinate, has met Master Butang!"

Hu Zongxian immediately reached out his hand to support Luo Dao enthusiastically: "No, you are the person I admire, brother. If you think highly of me, Lao Hu, you and I will be brothers."

Luo Xin also knew that he and Hu Zongxian were not in the same way, so he was not polite at the moment, cupped his hands and said, "Brother."

"Hahaha..." Hu Zongxian laughed and walked arm in arm with Luo Xin.

Luo Xin also let Hu Zongxian hold his arm, walked side by side with Hu Zongxian, and entered the gate.

Entering the lobby, Wan Daquan and Lu Daqing had already been left outside. At this time, only Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian were in the lobby.Hu Zongxian slapped his hands, and someone began to serve dishes like water.

After the two drank for three rounds, Hu Zongxian said enthusiastically: "No, if you can come to the southeast, brother, the courage on my shoulders will be much lighter!"

Luo Xin was shocked and said: "Brother, why did you say that?"

Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "You are the military god of our Ming Dynasty. With you, the eradication of Japanese pirates is just around the corner!"

There was a sneer in Luo Xin's heart, but he waved his hands and said, "Brother, don't count on me to wipe out the Japanese pirates."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin had a wry smile on his face and said: "Actually, I came this time to make money for His Majesty. Brother, you also know the current financial situation of the court. Your Majesty pins all his hopes on My body. But where is the money so easy to earn? I am still at a loss, how can I have time to deal with Japanese pirates?

Moreover……

With you here, brother, how can you use a weapon?Just bypass me and let me concentrate on making money. "

When Hu Zongxian heard this, his face was slightly relaxed.Then he began to pour bitter water on Luo Xin, talking about all aspects that the Japanese pirates were hard to destroy, and just when he was talking vigorously, he saw a middle-aged scribe walking in, cupped his hands at Hu Zongxian and said:

"My lord, the five thousand sergeants prepared for Lord Luo are ready."

Luo Xin keenly noticed a trace of sarcasm in the scribe's eyes, and his heart sank.Heart said:
"Sure enough, Hu Zongxian will give himself some old, weak, sick and disabled. These old, weak, sick and disabled are useless at all, and he has to feed them. Hu Zongxian regards himself as the head of a nursing home. He can't go out. Once he goes out and sees those old and weak Sick and disabled, it will be impossible to change another person, and the matter must be resolved in this room."

"No!" Hu Zongxian put down his chopsticks and said, "I know you're coming, so my brother has already prepared an army for you. Let's go out with my brother to have a look."

Luo Xin cupped his hands towards Hu Zongxian and said, "Thank you, brother!"

"You're welcome!" Hu Zongxian waved his big hand and said, "You are the god of the Ming army. Brother, I believe that no matter what kind of soldier you have, it will become a strong army."

Luo Xin smiled coldly in his heart, and thought to himself: "Are you here to gag me?"

But still with a smile on his face, he said: "Brother, don't worry, no matter I haven't eaten enough, brother won't be in a hurry to drive me away, right?"

Hu Zongxian was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "It's my brother's fault, come on, let's continue eating."

The middle-aged scribe gave Luo Xin a disdainful look, and withdrew, leaving only Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian in the room.It's just that Hu Zongxian didn't speak any more, the meaning is very obvious, that is, you Luo Xin eat quickly, and leave quickly after eating.Luo Xin didn't say a word, he shook his cheeks and started to eat, which made Hu Zongxian stunned for a while.He didn't think that Luo Xin couldn't figure out that he would give Luo Xin some old, weak, sick and disabled, otherwise Luo Xin would be sorry for the word "Military God".But Luo Xin ate heartlessly, which made Hu Zongxian feel a little uneasy.

Finally, Luo Xin put down his chopsticks, looked at Hu Zongxian and said, "Brother, I heard that you are a Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing?"

"Yes!" Hu Zongxian nodded suspiciously.

"Brother, two years after you entered the court, you were sent to Yidu, Qingzhou, Shandong, as the county magistrate. After that, you served as the county magistrate of Yuyao, and then patrolled Xuanfu, Datong and other important border towns. In the 30th year of Jiajing, you patrolled Huguang. You have been an official for many years I don't know how big the official is, but they are transferred very frequently, and they have almost experienced all the government and military affairs of the north and the south..."

Hu Zongxian's eyes shrank, and he looked at Luo Dao like a needle: "Are you investigating me?"

"No!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I'm envious of you!"

"Envy me?" Hu Zongxian was taken aback for a moment, and then bitterness appeared on his face: "Are you sure you're not mocking me?"

Luo Xin said lightly: "Brother, you really don't understand?"

"Understood? What do I understand?"

Luo Xin was startled just right, and then smiled and said: "Then I've made a simple statement, so I'm sorry to say goodbye."

After the words fell, he stood up. At this time, Hu Zongxian would not let Luo Xin go, so he hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand to stop him:
"No, my mind has been rusted by decades of wasted time, so please give me some advice."

The expression on Luo Xin's face kept changing, as if hesitating, he opened his mouth a few times, but he still didn't make a sound.Seeing Luo Xin hesitate so much, Hu Zongxian finally gritted his teeth and said:
"No, you and I hit it off right away. As long as my brother is in the southeast for a day, I will support you with all my strength."

Luo Xin still hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, do you really not understand?"

"I don't understand!" Hu Zongxian said in a concentrated voice, staring at Luo Xin with burning eyes, and secretly said in his heart: "If you dare to play tricks on me, I, Hu Zongxian, will definitely find a chance to let you die in the southeast."

"Okay!" Luo Xin sat down and said, "I'll remind you again. In the year when my brother became a Jinshi, the chief examiner was not Yan Song, but Zhang Bangqi, the head of the Imperial Academy. So Yan Song is not your seat. Teacher. The most important thing is that your previous major transfers were all hand-picked by His Majesty. For example, you were appointed as the inspector in Zhejiang, etc. But at that time, it was the time when Yan Songquan was in power, brother, you really don’t have any feelings?"

Hu Zongxian sat there blankly, his face gradually became agitated, and then turned pale again, looking at Luo Dao:
"You mean... Your Majesty is training me?"

"That's right!" Luo Xin nodded firmly and said, "Your Majesty is cultivating your experience and ability! And the previous transfers were all appointed by His Majesty, which shows that you are in the heart of the emperor. Do you think I should envy you, brother?" ?”
