There were many people in Tangjia Village, and the road was crowded. Several people had to dismount their horses, tied their horses to the old tree at the entrance of the village, and walked towards the village without looking sideways.
The villagers didn't know what they were doing, but at first glance they knew that they were all officials and they were not easy to mess with. A few men hurriedly went to find the village chief.
Several people have never been to Tangjia Village, but they seem to be very familiar with it. They arrived at their destination without any mistake. The villagers followed from a distance, and no one dared to ask.
Several people exuding evil spirits went straight to the door of Zhao's house next door to Tang Shi's house.
The first one paused for a while, tidied up his clothes, and then knocked forward twice with respect.
After a while, a girl's voice came from the door: "Who is it?"
"In the next week, dare to ask, but it is the Zhao family in Tangjia Village?"
The door opened with a squeak, Zhao Xu stuck out a head, looked up and down at the person who came, and there was uncertainty and doubt in his eyes, "Is there something wrong?"
Zhou Xun looked respectful, "May I ask if Mr. Zhao is at home?"
Zhao Xu blinked, "We don't have any Lord Zhao in our family."
Zhou Xun said again: "Excuse me for being abrupt, I'm asking Lord Zhao Jin Zhao."
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, with a little bit of vigilance in his eyes, "You guys, what are you looking for?"
Zhou Xun was helpless, so he had to take out a token and put it in front of Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly widened, and she said, "My brother... in the back mountain."
"Thank you, Miss Zhao." Zhou Xun bowed slightly, turned and led the rest towards the back mountain.
"Wait!" Zhao Xu stepped out and closed the courtyard door, "I'll go with you!"
Soon, they came to the back mountain, and a few men in official uniforms, with long knives on their waists, and stern faces walked over, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Zhao Jin and Hong Zhong had sharp five senses, and soon found a group of people walking towards the back mountain, but who was not A Xu who was walking in front
There were also the young men in the commander-in-chief uniforms.
Hong Zhong looked at Zhao Jin who was pulling up his sleeves and was easily carrying a thick blue bamboo, "Young Master, look..."
Zhao Jin put the bamboo away and nodded.
Hong Zhong greeted the young men who were still working, saying that today's work was done, and he could go home to rest.
The men abandoned their work and went down the mountain. As a result, they ran into a few people from the commander of the guard head-on. They immediately retreated in horror, and watched the villagers who followed them in the distance before they went up the mountain. in the group.
The villagers were talking.
"Isn't this Zhao family's boss doing something wrong?" This man just can't see the good of others.
"No, didn't you hear their adults shouting?"
"Opposite! I heard it too, shouting Master Zhao Family!"
"Could it be a mistake? Why did you suddenly become an adult?"
Even if Zhou Xun heard the discussions of the villagers, he would not care. He took a few people all the way up the mountain. The people on the mountain were big people, and he couldn't afford to delay.
Zhao Xu brought them to Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin was still moving green bamboo. When he saw Zhao Xu and the others, he only said, "Axu, you go back first."
Zhao Xu knew that her brother loved her, but when it came to such a serious matter, her brother was unequivocal. Although she was curious and wanted to stay, she still did not dare to express her thoughts, so she had to go down the mountain.
After Zhao Xu left, Zhou Xun and the people behind him immediately knelt down on one knee, "See you sir!"
Zhao Jin nodded and said lightly: "If you have something to say, come back and help first."
The officers all said they wanted to help, so of course Zhou Xun had to obey the orders, "Your Excellency is serious, you just need to instruct the next officer if you have any work to do."
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "I know that the people in the commander-in-chief guard are all talents, so building a bamboo house will not be difficult for you, right?"
It just so happened that some of the people who came this time had learned to build houses. Zhou Xun took him out and introduced to Zhao Jin: "Sir, this is Wu Ke, who has learned it before."
Wu Ke is not ugly - to be honest, the looks of the commander of the guard are generally above the standard. After all, he is the emperor's guard, of course he can't hurt the emperor's mood - but he is the least like the commander of the guard. The reason is that he is not fierce, and there is no bloody smell on his body.
After all, anyone who can become the commander of the guard is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Wu Ke is relatively harmless.
"I've seen adults." Wu Ke gave a deep salute. Although he still didn't see why the gentle man in front of him became their commander, he didn't dare to neglect at all. His father once said, People can't look at their appearance, in fact, this statement seems to be right on their own.
Zhao Jin nodded and looked at the shallow pit in front of him, "Have you seen this piece of land?"
Wu Ke glanced at the pit and the many green bamboos piled up beside the pit, "I see it."
"Well," Zhao Jin bent down and picked up one that was scattered not far away, "Since you have learned it, it will be up to you now, and you must make it better."
Hiss, what are these big men thinking every day? Let's not talk about the real business, is it really okay to have to build a house on the mountain? Wu Ke murmured with sincerity and fear: "Sir, just leave these things to the little ones, you don't have to do it yourself."
Zhao Jin glanced at him flatly, "You command it."
Wu Ke's back suddenly became cold, and all the cold sweat broke out. Why couldn't he control his mouth? Listen to what the commander said, why do you have to flatter yourself
Zhou Xun glared at Wu Ke secretly, the man in front of him looked gentle and polite, but he couldn't relax!
After being busy for a while, Wu Ke and several other colleagues were constantly wiping away sweat. Of course, they were not tired, mainly because the commander's eyes made them a little unbearable.
It's not fierce at all, but they feel that it's not fierce that makes it even more terrifying.
The sun was about to set, Zhao Jin looked at the bamboo house that had only been built a little, and sighed, "Continue tomorrow."
The commander sighed, Zhou Xun and the others all trembled a little, and they lowered their brows, "You will obey."
Zhao Jin turned to face them. He was tall and tall, so when he looked at them, his eyes were down, which made his whole person seem more and more unfathomable.
"Tell me, why are you here?"
Zhou Xun and a few people knelt down suddenly. He raised his hands high, and in his hands lay an iron token. The token looked extremely thick, the surface was coated with a layer of dark golden paint, and the edge of the token was raised. The hollow pattern of the middle of the card is engraved with five characters: Guard Commander Order. Although the back was blocked, everyone present knew that Zhao Jin's name was engraved on the back.
"My lord, this is given by His Royal Highness King Ning, please take the token." Zhou Xun felt that the token weighed thousands of pounds. After all, the commander of the guard was only under the command of the emperor and led the entire commander of the guard.
And now His Royal Highness Prince Ning is the future emperor. The first emperor died, and the new emperor had to observe filial piety for three months before he could hold the enthronement ceremony. However, in order to avoid political chaos, the new emperor was already handling the affairs in the name of the prince.
The new emperor so urgently sent the commander's token to the person in front of him, which shows the importance of this adult in the heart of the new emperor.
Zhao Jin took the token, his face was calm, he casually put the token into his sleeve, and said, "What else did Your Highness say?"
"His Royal Highness said, give you another three months, and after three months, you will go to the commanding department."
The commander-in-chief is an institution that is directly under the emperor's orders. The emperor does not need to ask the courtiers who he appoints as the commander. As for when he takes office, it has nothing to do with the courtiers.
Zhao Jin nodded, "You guys help me build the house first and then go back to my life."
Zhou Xun and others could only obey orders.
In fact, they all felt that the newly appointed commander had no pretence, but for some reason, they were just panicked, and it was obvious that the other party was not fierce at all.
Here Zhou Xun and others worked tirelessly to build houses, while Tang Shi still lived his life regularly every day.
Since that day, the people in the village have been a little cautious when they pass by Zhao Jin's house. After all, the well-informed village chief has warned them that these people with knives can't even offend the county master, and the people who can't even offend the county master are right. Zhao Jiadalang is respectful, what does this mean? This shows that the Dalang of the Zhao family must have achieved great success!
Thinking of this, the people in the village began to be a lot more enthusiastic about the Tang family. Why? It's not because the Tang family and the Zhao family have been close during this period of time. The Zhao family and the others don't dare to climb it now, but they can still communicate with the Tang family. Maybe some light.
There were too many people coming to the Tang family, so Tang Shi was worried about putting the flowerpots in the yard. In addition, he transplanted some from the flower fields into the flowerpots one after another, and the Tang family's yard could not be put down, so he planned to Move all the pots to the mountain.
Zhao Jin seemed to know what he was thinking. As soon as Tang Shi came back from school today, Zhao Jin brought Zhou Xun and a few people who had changed into civilian clothes to the Tang's house.
These few days, Tang Shi got up early to go to school every day, and went home from the flower field at night. Zhao Jin had been staying in the back mountain, so the two of them didn't see it. Now that Zhao Jin came suddenly, Tang Shi could only be silent. I don't know what to say.
"Tang Shi." When Zhao Jin came to him, his face softened, and the aura around him couldn't help changing. Ordinary people couldn't detect it, but Zhou Xun and their eyesight were good, and they looked at Tang Shi in an instant.
"The flower house has been built, do you want to go take a look?"
Zhou Xun and others glanced at the various flower pots in the Tang Family Courtyard, and only then did they understand that the commander was not building a bamboo house to play with, but for the boy in front of him!
Tang Shi nodded and pointed to the flowerpots in the courtyard, "Move these up too."
Zhao Jin glanced at Zhou Xun, Zhou Xun immediately understood, and took Wu Ke and others to start moving the flower pot. Before they came, they never thought that the first fire of their new chief was to let them do this, and other brothers would die of laughter if they said it.
But anyway, what should be moved still has to be moved.
Zhao Jin was also going to pick up a pot of flowers, but Tang Shi suddenly stopped him, "Don't move!"
Zhou Xun and others felt that their heartbeats had stopped. They looked at the commander with a stiff body, waiting for him to get angry.
Zhao Jin retracted his hand lightly, stood up straight, looked at Tang Shixiao, "What's wrong?"
Tang Shi avoided his gaze and pointed to another basin, "You move that one, this one will not be sent to the mountain first."
Zhao Jin did what he said, but Zhou Xun and the others only felt that their heartbeats had returned, and their gazes towards Tang Shi were even more different.
Zhao Jin glanced at them, and they immediately withdrew their gazes, only looking down at the road.
Tang Shi himself followed behind them holding two pots of flowers. Originally, Zhao Jin was walking at the forefront, but he stopped and waited for Tang Shi.
Zhou Xun and the others stopped immediately, and Zhao Jin said to Hong Zhong, who was beside him, "Old Hong, take them up the mountain first."
Hong Zhong then greeted a few people and walked towards the back mountain. Zhou Xun and several people felt uneasy in their hearts. This was the first time they walked in front of the chief, and they instantly felt that the days to come were full of darkness.
Tang Shi walked by himself holding two pots of flowers, but found that there was another person beside him, and he didn't need to look to know who it was.
"What kind of flower is this?" Zhao Jin asked.
Tang Shi pursed his lips, and replied reluctantly: "Peony." He now tries to avoid contact with Zhao Jin. Anyway, Zhao Jin is going to leave. After he is gone, over time, he should be able to Forget about this person.
"Is its alias "Jianli?" Zhao Jin smiled softly, "It doesn't seem to have a good meaning." As soon as he finished speaking, the flowerpot in his hand fell straight down.
Tang Shi quickly stretched out the back of his foot to hold it, then heaved a sigh of relief, carefully placed the flowerpot on the ground, then widened his eyes and roared at Zhao Jin angrily: "Zhao Jin! Do you owe something? beat!"
Zhao Jin looked into his eyes that seemed to be spitting out fire, and smiled softly and wanton, "How about you beat me to get out?"
