Sun Bingchen still had guests to meet, so after explaining Yan Liqiang's affairs, Sun Bingchen left the flower hall. Yan Liqiang said goodbye to Sun Bingchen, followed the attendant beside Sun Bingchen, and left the flower hall. After walking around the manor, he Came to a small courtyard.
"Your Excellency, you will stay in Pingxi City for a few more days. During these few days, you will live here and I will live in the courtyard next to you. You have three days to deal with your affairs in Pingxi City. After three days, as an adult, The attendants must be ready to obey orders and do things here at any time..." Compared with the coldness he saw on the first day, the attitude of the guard leader next to Sun Bingchen at this time was a little gentler, but he was still cold and hard.
Yan Liqiang doesn't mind this, because Yan Liqiang knows that some people like to smile at you, but in their hearts they may be thinking of ways to stab you, while some people are cold to you, but they are truly reliable people. What you look at in people is never their superficial attitude, but their character and quality. The guard leader around Sun Bingchen undoubtedly belongs to the latter category in Yan Liqiang's eyes.
"Okay, three days is enough for me to deal with the things under me. By the way, I still don't know what my eldest brother's last name is and how to call him?" Yan Liqiang said with a smile.
"My surname is Liang, and I work around adults. You can just call me Brother Liang from now on!"
"Okay, then I would like to ask Brother Liang, I wonder what my main responsibility will be when I am with you in the future, and what preparations I need to make?"
"As your lord's attendant, your errands will be arranged by your lord personally. You will know when the time comes, and I don't know either now!"
"Are there any other attendants with you, sir?"
"There are many guards of honor accompanying the Lord, but do you think anyone can be the attendant beside the Lord?" Liang Yijie snorted coldly, "The Lord is a high-ranking official of the second rank. According to the regulations of the imperial court, there are officials around him. There are only four sword-carrying guards of your rank at most. Before coming to Ganzhou, your lord had only two attendants. I am one of them. There is also one who returned to the sect for something. This time I came to inspect and did not accompany my lord. You He is the third attendant beside you, a serious eighth-rank military captain with a sword, and a monthly salary. But don’t think that anyone can do this job. If you don’t believe me, go out and ask. I don’t know how many people are envious…”
"Thank you, Brother Liang. I understand. I'm new here. If there's anything I don't understand, please give me some advice!"
"Well, let's go. I'll take you to get to know the honor guard and other guards around the adults. It will be easier for you to get in and out of the adults in the future..."
As he spoke, Liang Liang Yijie took Yan Liqiang out of the courtyard, walked around the solemn place where Sun Bingchen stayed, and introduced the people around Sun Bingchen to Yan Liqiang.
There were only more than 100 people who followed Sun Bingchen to Ganzhou this time. Among these more than 100 people, there was a guard with a small flag and a group of honor guards.
According to the establishment of the Han Empire, there are 100 guards for a small flag, and 30 honor guards for a team. These 130 people, plus Sun Bingchen and Liang Yijie, total 132 people. Now if Yan Liqiang is added, it will be 133 people.
The Xiaoqi officer following Sun Bingchen also came from the Imperial Capital. Although his position is not high, his military rank is Qubu Colonel, which is one level higher than the ordinary Xiaoqi officer. He is just on the same level as Yan Liqiang. As for The highest rank of the captain of that honor guard team was one level higher than that of an ordinary captain. He was a military commander, not even a school captain.
After knowing that Yan Liqiang became Sun Bingchen's attendant, the eyes of the more than one hundred guards and honor guards looked at Yan Liqiang, full of unabashed envy and even jealousy. It was also at this time that Yan Liqiang experienced Sun Bingchen's side for the first time. The weight of the status of servant.
After basically getting to know the people around Sun Bingchen, Yan Liqiang left the manor where Sun Bingchen lived. He had three days to deal with personal matters, and then he would actually report to Sun Bingchen.
When it comes to private matters, there is actually nothing too complicated. You just need to go to the Junguo Martial Arts Center to talk about it. In fact, it is almost equivalent to graduating early.
Yan Liqiang returned to the Guoshu Museum, found Shi Changfeng, met the director of the Guoshu Museum, and quickly settled the matter.
Shi Changfeng probably had gotten some information from Shi Dafeng or Shen Teng beforehand, so he wasn't too surprised. As for those teachers from the Guoshu Hall who heard the news for the first time and knew that Yan Liqiang was appointed as an attendant by the inspection envoy, and The director of the Guoshu Museum, who was not very familiar with Yan Liqiang, was shocked.
Finally, it was the director of the Junguoshu Museum who personally sent Yan Liqiang out of the gate of the Guoshu Museum.
"Li Qiang, when you follow Mr. Sun from now on, don't be greedy for ease. You must not relax in your cultivation. You must do your best to serve the country. Many students in this martial arts hall will regard you as a role model in the future..." Chang The director of the Jun Guoshu Museum with a popular face and gray hair and beard said earnestly to Yan Liqiang at the entrance of the Guoshu Museum.
"Don't worry, curator, I've remembered it and won't embarrass our Pingxi County Martial Arts Museum!"
"If you have time to return to Pingxi City in the future, you should come to the Guoshu Museum more often!"
"Okay, okay, curator and teachers, please stay, please stay!"
After bowing to the director and teachers of the Guoshu Hall, Yan Liqiang left under the gaze of all the teachers and students of the Guoshu Hall.
…
Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng were already waiting at the corner of the street. As soon as they saw Yan Liqiang approaching, Shi Dafeng hugged Yan Liqiang and said viciously, "Today, Shen Teng and I will choose any place and eat whatever we want. You treat us!"
"Yes, I have to treat you to this meal today!" Shen Teng seemed to have recovered and said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as Brother Shi and Brother Shen like it, I will bear all the expenses tonight!"
…
Needless to say about the meal process, Shi Dafeng chose a high-end restaurant in Pingxi City without any intention of saving money for Yan Liqiang. They ate until dark, and when the three of them were all a little tipsy, Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng finally let Yan Liqiang go. When the three of them separated in the restaurant, it was already getting late.
Yan Liqiang asked the restaurant to call two carriages and put Shi Dafeng and Shen Teng on them. After watching the two cars leave, Yan Liqiang returned to the restaurant.
After ordering two bowls of sobering plum soup in the restaurant and washing his face with cold water, Yan Liqiang's drunkenness disappeared in an instant.
Then Yan Liqiang himself walked into the night without calling for a carriage.
…
An hour later, Yan Liqiang appeared in a neighborhood in a civilian gathering area in the south of Pingxi City. After some twists and turns, Yan Liqiang came to an old tavern next to an intersection and went to the second floor of the tavern. Floor, I ordered two dishes of side dishes and chose an unobtrusive seat by the window. I ate casually while staring at the people passing by at the intersection.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Qi Donglai's figure appeared at the street corner...
