The Longma luxury carriage landed on the ground, and Fang Yun got on the carriage. Under the leadership of the convoy in front, he drove three miles and arrived at the city gate.
The people inside the city gate spontaneously made way for a path and stood on both sides, looking forward to it.
Suddenly, Longma stopped and Fang Yun looked outside.
County Magistrate Wen Gu appeared outside the car window, bowed to Fang Yun, and said, "I greet the County Magistrate."
"Please speak if you have something to say." Fang Yun looked at Wen Gu outside the car window and recalled many things he had encountered in the Book Mountain Fantasy.
In the Book Mountain Illusion, Fang Yun was injured for the first time not far from Ning'an County. In the palace examination in the Book Mountain Illusion, Fang Yun was also serving as the acting county magistrate in Ning'an County.
This place and these people were both unfamiliar and familiar to Fang Yun.
It was familiar because I had experienced it before in the Shushan environment, but strange because it was the first time I had actually arrived here, and many of the details of the experience in the fantasy were illusory, like stories told by others, many of which were omitted and might even be false. Only a few experiences were very real, like being there in person.
The Mountain of Books is mysterious and unpredictable, but it is not omnipotent. It is like the long river of history for historians, which has countless tributaries. If one enters the wrong tributary of the river of history while cultivating the power of history, it means death.
Shushan only deduced everything that happened subsequently based on the partially known situation in Ning'an County. Fang Yun experienced some important things personally, and as for those unimportant things, although Fang Yun felt that he had experienced them, he actually had not experienced them. Instead, Shushan turned the simple experiences into memories and sent them into his Wen Palace.
Even so, Fang Yun learned a lot about Ning'an County from the Shushan illusion, some things that even the military intelligence and the Ning'an County officials who secretly surrendered did not know.
In the Book Mountain Illusion, Wen Gu had a very deadly hobby. Fang Yun didn't know it at first, but after being defeated and questioned, Wen Gu told him himself!
Wen Gu was a middle-aged Jinshi who was over 40 years old. He was wearing a white sword suit that had been washed and worn, and he looked calm. He was full of bookish temperament, which was the result of many years in the Academy of Literature.
Wen Gu not only has an excellent temperament, but also has an appearance far superior to that of ordinary people. He is a real handsome man.
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate, Ning'an County is an important town in the north and has a deep hatred with the monsters and barbarians. Many relatives and friends of the people have died at the hands of the monsters and barbarians. I suggest that you only allow a dozen of the monsters' private soldiers to enter the city, and the rest should stay in the secondary city outside the city." Wen Gu said.
Fang Yun knew that most of the sub-cities in Shengyuan Continent were used to station troops to avoid interfering with people's lives.
Fang Yun said: "I have only 400 private soldiers. The number is not large, so it is harmless."
"People are the most important. If the monsters and barbarians disturb the residents of Ning'an County, your performance in subjects such as people's livelihood may be reduced. What's more, you already have a full two thousand monster cavalrymen, and it is already unusual for the army to walk around freely on the busy streets. Add in the monsters and barbarians, and it will be even more inappropriate." Wen Gu said.
"Oh, I understand. Let's keep moving forward." Fang Yun said.
"But if you go further you will enter the city."
"Ok, I know."
"But I do not agree with the private soldiers of the monsters entering the city," Wen Gu said.
"Your suggestion is very good. I will consider this matter after I settle down."
Wen Gu was stunned and looked at Fang Yun silently. He had already seen through Fang Yun's intention, which was to delay.
Many officials often leave their subordinates' documents uncollected, and once something goes wrong, they can use various methods to avoid responsibility and let their subordinates take the blame.
"Let's go, let's go. Don't stay outside." Ao Huang impatiently drove Wen Gu away.
"I'm leaving." Wen Gu looked at Ao Huang expressionlessly and left silently.
The convoy continued to move forward. After entering the city gate, Fang Yun walked to the front of the car and looked at the dark crowd in front.
"From today on, Fang Yun is the county magistrate of this county. I hope the elders and folks of Ning'an County will help me!" Fang Yun smiled and saluted the people of Ning'an County with a fist.
The crowds on both sides of the street were instantly boiling with excitement. They didn't care about the Left Prime Minister or the Empress Dowager, nor did they care about the disputes in the court, but they all knew Fang Yun's literary reputation and contributions!
"Meet Fang Xusheng!"
"Morlin Academy student Feng He thanks Fang Xusheng!"
"Please continue to kill the demons and barbarians, Fang Xusheng, and avenge my family!"
"Victory! Fang Yun is invincible!"
"ah… "
Some women completely lost the ability to speak and could only scream. A few even fainted from excitement and were rushed to a nearby clinic by their families.
Everyone's face was flushed and their eyes were shining.
Many veteran soldiers who had fought in the battlefield were the most excited. They had served the country for many years, and they admired Fang Yun the most for his real contributions. In terms of recovering a state, Fang Yun had surpassed all the officials of the dynasty in terms of merit. Some elderly people were too old to shout, so they held up their crutches and asked their children and grandchildren to shout.
The young scholars were the most excited. Ever since Fang Yun came out of nowhere, they had to learn several of Fang Yun's poems and essays every month. In addition, "Wen Bao" and "Sheng Dao" appeared in turn, and everyone around them kept talking about Fang Yun's deeds. They had reached a state of true worship for Fang Yun.
There are also those children who have been learning the "Three Character Classic". They can see the word Fang Yun in the textbook. Now they see Fang Yun appear with their own eyes. They really can't keep calm. Fang Yun has become the greatest inspirational figure in their hearts.
Fang Yun was standing at the front of the car, greeting everyone, nodding and smiling.
Looking at the unfamiliar faces and the enthusiastic smiles, Fang Yun felt his heart filled with strength.
Yang Yuhuan sat in the car, looking at Fang Yun's back and sighed softly.
"Sister Yuhuan, why are you sighing?" Su Xiaoxiao asked softly.
Yang Yuhuan smiled and said, "Xiaoyun is pursuing the path of sainthood, but for the palace examination, he has to do more and more things, many of which he doesn't want to do, but has to do. Those are all indispensable experiences on his path to sainthood. I... just think he is too tired. Every time I wake up at night, I see him reading. He... should take a break."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yes, I also feel that Master Fang is too busy. He only sleeps for one hour a day, and he has to keep reading and doing many things. This is very harmful to the body and may even shorten his life. This is what the medical books say. If you have time, please persuade him. He listens to you the most."
Yang Yuhuan shook her head slightly and said, "I won't persuade him."
"Why?" Su Xiaoxiao was extremely surprised.
"Because, I can feel that he also wants to live a leisurely life and enjoy sensual pleasures. However, since he is so busy and not afraid of hurting his body or shortening his life, he must be doing something more meaningful than extending his life. I don't understand why he does that, but he must know it himself."
Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Yun's back, her eyes becoming more gentle.
The little fox rubbed its head gently against Yang Yuhuan.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Yang Yuhuan's face and understood many things. (To be continued...)
