Views:

When Jiang Yunqi learned that the county magistrate wanted to see him, he felt a little uneasy.

Let’s not talk about other things for now, just the two murders he is involved in are a hot potato. What’s more, there are frequent wars between Song and Wu, and he is a real Song citizen.

However, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. If Jiang Yunqi was really a timid person, he would not have chosen to join the Wu army.

On this day, Jiang Yunqi got up very early and spent money to buy a pot of good wine. Then he tidied his clothes and went to the county government with the wine.

"Jiang Yunqi, right? Go ahead, the county magistrate is waiting for you in the back yard." The bailiff of the county government glanced at Jiang Yunqi and raised his head proudly towards the backyard of the yamen.

It is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance. Although this man from Song State looks weak, everyone has witnessed how powerful he is long ago. He is a strong man who can lift a stone effortlessly. No wonder the county magistrate would specially summon him.

However, the yamen runner also knew that his master did not like this man from Song, so his attitude was naturally very cold.

"Thank you for the reminder, young man." Jiang Yunqi bowed to the bailiff with a very gentle tone.

Since ancient times, it has always been easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the little devils. Even if the yamen runners have a bad attitude, Jiang Yunqi is not a fool and naturally will not make enemies for nothing.

"Go quickly and don't keep us waiting too long." Sure enough, the bailiff's expression softened a lot, and even the way he nodded seemed a little arrogant, but he was looking at people straight in the eye.

Jiang Yunqi nodded slightly and walked towards the back hall calmly.

But he was thinking in his heart that when he became successful in the future, he would make all those who looked down on him regret it.

After a while, Jiang Yunqi met the county magistrate.

"I am Jiang Yunqi, a commoner, and I am here to pay my respects to the county magistrate." Jiang Yunqi knelt on the ground and said very respectfully.

The county magistrate was stunned when he saw Jiang Yunqi. He didn't expect that he was so handsome.

Originally, the county magistrate believed that anyone with supernatural powers must be tall and strong.

However, precisely because of Jiang Yunqi's good looks, the county magistrate became even more suspicious and increasingly believed that he was a spy sent by the Song State to invade.

So the county magistrate did not ask him to stand up, but said coldly: "Are you Jiang Yunqi? I heard that you are from Song?"

Jiang Yunqi lowered his head and said, "Yes, I am from Fengcheng, Song State."

The county magistrate sneered: "Since you are from Song, why do you want to enter the Wu army camp? Jiang Yunqi, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Yunqi naturally would not tell the truth, and only read out the speech he had prepared long ago: "I have long admired the customs and people of Wu State, so I came all the way from Fengcheng. I never thought that after a long journey to your place, I would find that I have very little money left. I have no special skills, but I have a lot of strength. I accidentally saw the conscription notice, so I wanted to use my strength to exchange for food."

Jiang Yunqi had thought it through long ago. Fengcheng was far away from Wu State. Even if the county magistrate had doubts about what he said, it was impossible for him to send someone to Fengcheng to investigate.

But the county magistrate stared into his eyes and suddenly sneered: "Oh? So you entered our Wu army camp just to make a living. If Song gives you more benefits in the future, won't you switch sides immediately?"

The cold sweat on Jiang Yunqi's forehead dripped down, and he quickly explained: "How is this possible? Since I have joined the Wu camp, I will definitely put the interests of Wu first in the future."

The county magistrate didn't believe it at all. Who would be willing to betray their homeland if there was no sufficient reason? Just for a meal? He was not a fool.

"But you are a registered resident of Song State. Why should I believe you?" The county magistrate had people investigate Jiang Yunqi. He entered Xiaohe County alone half a month ago. He spent all day drinking and wandering around the county government office. His behavior was really abnormal.

However, the county magistrate was not helpless against him.

There are many ways to test people's hearts.

Jiang Yunqi kowtowed again and said sincerely: "I can change my household registration to Wu State. I only ask you to give me a chance to join the military camp. I will never forget your kindness in the future."

"It's not impossible for me to let you join the military camp, but I want to see your sincerity." At this point, the county magistrate stroked his chin-length beard and said meaningfully, "I heard that two people from Song State came to the county town to do business recently. Since you want to be a soldier of my Wu State, you must completely become an enemy of Song State. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Yunqi understood what was going on and suddenly looked up at him, his face turning as pale as snow.

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows expressionlessly: "If you can't do it, then go back to your Song State."

"No," Jiang Yunqi denied subconsciously. When he saw the county magistrate's surprised expression, he made up his mind: "I can do it. I will definitely let you see my sincerity."

He couldn't go back to Song. It was just killing two Song people. It's not like he had killed people before.

Even if those people are innocent, so what? He will go to the battlefield in the future, and then he will face tens of thousands of Song people.

The county magistrate said calmly, "Then I will wait and see."

Jiang Yunqi kowtowed again: "Thank you, sir, for giving me a chance."

"Okay, go back. Come back when you're done." The county magistrate waved his hand and turned to walk out.

When the county magistrate disappeared, Jiang Yunqi sat down on the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He swore that he would become a superior person in the future and never give others the opportunity to threaten him again.

Shu City.

"Brother Song, I'm so happy, so happy! The city lord has agreed to your proposal to recruit the bandits and to use the refugees to train soldiers, and has placed these two matters in your hands. The city lord really trusts you." The magistrate of Shucheng County climbed on Mingyue's shoulders, put his arm around her shoulders and laughed.

"To deal with those bandits, I'm afraid I'll need your help. I hope you won't think I'm troublesome by then." Mingyue said as he pretended to bend over to look at the map, and finally got rid of the big hand on his shoulder.

The county magistrate didn't notice it, but laughed heartily: "Brother Song, why bother to be so formal with me? As long as you say hello, I will immediately go wherever you point me."

Mingyue's eyebrows were also filled with joy: "You said this yourself, sir. You can't regret it in the future."

The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "Don't treat me as an outsider. We are brothers. I am counting on you to become successful and help me in the future."

"Don't worry, even if I forget anyone else, I will never forget you, sir." Mingyue said with a smile.

The county magistrate was also happy to hear this. What he said was true. After all, Mingyue was the person he recommended. The more promising Mingyue was, the more face he would have in front of the city lord.

After the two exchanged feelings for a while, they turned around and talked about business again.
