Just me

Just me
Nanshi is an exchange market with a lot of traffic. Although it has become a lot deserted recently due to the war, there are many merchants on the surface.
Zhuang Xun and He Jung were no longer able to interfere in such a major event as the war. They did not continue the conversation and resigned themselves to fate. They could only hope that the soldiers at the pass could hold on.
"Being the Right Envoy of Jiedu, my benefactor, it's time for you to form your own personal bodyguard." He Jung reminded Zhuang Xun on the carriage.
"Go to Hebei Province and do it again, choose some good family members." Zhuang Xun also realized the importance of personal soldiers, but he was very afraid of death.
"It's too late then. It's not advisable to go to the post alone. It will cause other people to have some bad thoughts. If you want the officials below to fear you, you must show your due strength." He Jung knew officialdom.
It's not like the Great Yu was at its peak. He had no strength and could not impress people. His subordinates were obedient and even acted cruelly, so who could withstand it?
"I understand what Xiucai means, but today we are moving, so it's not urgent." I'll go home and ask my wife for her opinion first.
After understanding Zhuang Xun's expression, He Jung stopped admonishing him. Such an obedient monarch would be much more comfortable than those who caused trouble. It was okay to be strict with his wife. As long as the other party's wife was capable, look, the future is still there.
bright.
"When I go to Hebei Province this time, do any scholars recommend any talents?" There is a shortage of people, a large number of people.
When a third-grade official takes office, he does not just bring two pieces of clothing. He must have servants, guards, butlers, and his own small team of civil servants. Although it will not overtake the Taoist government's own administrative team, it cannot appear either.
Being manipulated by them.
"I'm afraid you don't like the benefactor that I know." He Jung hinted.
"Oh..." He Jung hinted, and Zhuang Xun thought of He Jung's identity. Those who usually hang out with him are not good people, right?
"The Merchant Inn is here, benefactor, please." He Jung opened the curtain of the car.
"Does this mean you have surrendered to me now?" Zhuang Xun looked at his respectful look. He had previously said that he would have as little contact as possible because he had a deep connection with the Xiao Mansion. Seeing him and Zhuang Xun together would spread the word about Zhuang Xun's reputation.
not good.
"That's because I'm afraid that His Majesty's impression of you will become bad. Now that the dust has settled, the benefactor is with you. It's a good time. As a staff member, I have taken refuge with the benefactor. No one else can criticize you." He Jung had never met the emperor.
But the emperor's character has been thoroughly understood throughout Dayu's officialdom.
"So I'm really curious about the relationship between you and Xiao Shangshu. We are familiar but not familiar, and we can talk to each other but not." Zhuang Xun got out of the car and looked at the inn that was as open as a street.
"Xiao Shangshu's late wife was Jung's aunt." He Jung didn't hide anything and made a shocking revelation.
"Ah, then is it difficult for him to arrange a position as a prefect for you?" Zhuang Xun looked at He Jung strangely. How could he stoop to serve as an adviser to him with such a status? He had to wonder if the other party knew that he had imperial blood.
I came to invest in him on purpose.
"When Jung was young, she traveled around Kyushu. She just returned home this year. Her aunt has passed away, so people leave to drink tea. This has always been the case. Jung's family background is not high. Xiao Shangshu can remember the old love and let Jung do the hard work.
He Jung is already satisfied and doesn't dare to think more." He Jung responded.
In fact, he went to consult with the Three Immortals, and then found out that the King of Wheels had placed a bet, and the Three Immortals followed him like crazy, so he came, picked up the mundane things again, and participated in this dragon fight.
"Is that so?" Zhuang Xun nodded with half understanding.
"Xiaolian, you came to the slave family's territory and didn't even say hello to the slave family." Zhuang Xun got off the carriage and looked at the inn that was as open as the street. When thinking about where to find He Heng and the others, he chuckled mischievously.
Make him turn around sharply.
Wearing a gorgeous robe and a bamboo hat, the surrounding people were separated by guards and retreated. Zhuang Xun seemed to be able to see her mature and plump dimples through her white gauze bamboo hat.
"Mrs. Jiang, I have been looking for you last night. It's great that you are safe and sound." Seeing Mrs. Jiang, Zhuang Xun said happily.
"Xiaolian, you are worried. What did Xiaolian come to Nanshi to buy? You can tell the slave family and they will buy it for you." Jiang Xiannuo's words felt full of apology.
The joy on Zhuang Xun's face was not artificial, nor was the sincerity in his words. He was indeed worried about himself last night.
"No, I came to visit a friend. Even when I got here, I didn't know how to start." Zhuang Xun was also here for the first time. Nanshi is a distribution center for bulk commodities, and he would not come to this kind of place to buy things.
"He Heng and the others, right?" Jiang Xiannuo had already guessed.
"Well, how many of them does Mrs. Jiang know?" Zhuang Xun asked curiously.
"The mother and daughter returned from Sanfang, and He Erlang was rescued by justice. How could the slave family not know such an interesting story? Only Xiaolian's pure and flawless character can make people want to help Xiaolian." Jiang Xiannuo
He praised Zhuang Xun and said.
He was polite and did not have other unrealistic fantasies because he saved him by desecrating himself at the banquet. He was still so polite and kept a certain distance politely.
"It's ridiculous, but it has affected the reputation of Brother He and Sister He Tan." Zhuang Xun really has no ability to control the spread of these stories. Thinking of the story about He Tan, who was disliked by him at a young age, this story
It will accompany her throughout her life.
"But it goes directly to Tianting. He Baotou has been reinstated. Now he can get back what he lost." Jiang Xiannuo seemed to have thought about how He Heng would defeat his previous opponents when he returned to Donghua Road.
.
"Indeed, does Mrs. Jiang know where they are stationed?" Zhuang Xun nodded, and he also wanted to congratulate He Hengguan on his reinstatement today.
"The first right corner of this street. Since Xiaolian has something important to do, I won't bother you anymore. After you're done, be sure to have a cup of tea and chat with me." Jiang Xiannuo seemed like the beautiful scenery she encountered along the way.
The same thing, suddenly comes into view, and then suddenly goes away.
"I don't know where you live, Mrs. Jiang, please. Please let me know. I will definitely come and visit you some other day." There were so many people now that it was difficult to thank him for his help at yesterday's banquet, so Zhuang Xun could only request.
"Guifang Jiang Mansion, we are looking forward to Xiaolian's arrival." Walking on lotus steps, he came and went in a hurry.
"Please be careful, my benefactor, this woman is not simple." He Jung didn't even say hello to Jiang Xiannuo, but watched the conversation between the two and said.
It was almost instinctive to realize that Jiang Xiannuo was only the tip of the iceberg.
"I know, mysteriously, who would use all his wealth to bet on a mysterious person. In fact, it's just that Xun owes her a favor, and he wants to find an opportunity to repay it. He doesn't want to contact other Xun too much." Everyone around him said.
He said Jiang Xiannuo was not simple, but he didn't think she was simple either.
A woman who has such a big business in Yu State is happy to recommend Xiaolian, who can imitate fingerprints with just a drawing. If you say that she just comes to Yu State to do business, Zhuang Xun himself doesn't believe it.
Returning a favor also depends on the situation. If it violates the bottom line principle, it cannot be returned. He is not stupid. His bottom line has always been very flexible.
"It's best if the benefactor understands," He Jung said relaxedly seeing that Zhuang Xun was so self-aware.
"Brother He, Brother Huang, Brother Luo, are you all practicing martial arts?" Zhuang Xun and the others were all dressed in brocade robes, and no one else dared to stop him and He Jung. They quickly found a few people practicing martial arts in the backyard.
Luo Yuechengping was carrying two buckets of water, his rough face covered with oil.
Huang Xi stood upside down and tied two heavy objects to his legs.
He Heng stood in front of them and trained them.
"Brother Xun is here?" Luo Yuecheng's face suddenly lit up, and he was about to put down the bucket, but He Heng slapped him on his arm with a bamboo stick.
"continue……"
"Brother He, what are you doing?" Zhuang Xun asked in confusion.
"Didn't I say that I want to serve as a guard for you, sir? Their meager fists and kicks before are still not qualified. They need to practice more to be qualified." He Heng looked at the two brothers in distress.
"Brother He can go back to being a head catcher. Yesterday, the Holy Spirit gave you the golden words to restore you to your original position." Zhuang Xun congratulated him.
Although the chief arrester of Donghua Road is an official, he is already a senior official of the fourth rank.
"Come in and chat, you two are not allowed to be lazy." After greeting Zhuang Xun, He Heng warned the two men again.
"Let me introduce again. It was difficult to introduce the situation last time. He Jung and He Xiucai have already served as my staff. This is He Heng from Tung Wah Road. He is the second eldest brother in the family, so I call him Brother He.
, Now that the official has been reinstated, he can be called the head catcher." Zhuang Xun introduced each other to each other and said.
"Excellent scholar." He Heng cupped his fists.
"Why arrest the head?" He Jung returned the salute.
He Jung looked at He Heng. His upright face, tall figure, and calluses all showed his identity as a practicing master.
He Heng was also sizing up He Jung. He was walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, and his lower body was steady and solid. He must have been practiced.
"This time when the official is reinstated, when will the second brother He leave?" Zhuang Xun asked proactively to determine the time for He Heng to return so that he could ask for help.
"Didn't we agree on when Sir will leave and when Heng will leave? We will give your home a nursing home, Sir." He Heng looked at Zhuang Xun and said.
"Ah, that's because you didn't live before, but it's different now. You can be your Taoist catcher again when you return to Donghua Road. You can't get this position by following me for the time being. I understand that Brother He will repay your kindness.
But don't joke about your future." Zhuang Xun immediately objected.
He is not the kind of person who doesn't take other people's future seriously. To be honest, He Heng who followed him to Hebei Road really didn't have the prestige in Donghua Road. After all, he was just a deputy envoy, not an envoy, and He Heng...
My big family is all in Tung Wah Road, so this return can be regarded as the return of the Dragon King.
"I learned the news in the morning. He thought about it all morning, including just now, whether to go back to Tung Wah Road or follow Mr. Heng," a look of struggle appeared on He Heng's face.
"Go to Donghua, what else is there to think about? I already said there is no need to repay any kindness. I didn't think about repaying any kindness when I saved you." Zhuang Xun said in confusion.
"Heng knows that Mr. Heng doesn't like to repay favors, and Heng also chose to continue to follow Mr. after careful consideration." To put it simply, He Heng's mentality has stabilized.
"Can you tell me what you think about the head arrest?" He Jung said proactively.
"If you all follow me, you will be considered colleagues, and you can talk about things that colleagues can talk about." He still didn't dispel many doubts about He Jung, and he didn't gain Zhuang Xun's complete trust even though he spent money to go to work.
"My husband and I have talked about the current situation of the Yu Kingdom before. How can we lay eggs under the overturned nest? If the trees are moved to death, the people will be moved to live. Since the Yu Dynasty will be destroyed, we must escape from this environment. This is what my husband once told me."
Heng looked at Zhuang Xun respectfully and said.
"That's right." Zhuang Xun nodded, he was about to moisturize himself.
"Heng returned to Donghua because he was waiting for death. He just wanted to make a fortune and then escape. The general trend of the world cannot be reversed by one or two people. There is no need to make a fortune. Heng has more important things." He Heng shook his head.
Shaking his head, everyone understands the current situation of the country.
"Mr. once said that one day when he takes power, he hopes that the farmers will have land and the people will have enough to eat, right?" He Heng looked into Zhuang Xun's eyes.
"Yes! Xun hopes that under the rule, the people will be clothed and fed all year round." Zhuang Xun nodded firmly.
"If you don't mind, I would like to protect Mr. Heng to realize this wish." He Heng said proactively.
"No, are you so hasty? I don't even know if this can be achieved." Zhuang Xun couldn't laugh or cry, He Heng did it for this reason.
"Another point is that today Feng Zheng was brought to justice, tomorrow Li Zheng will come, and the day after tomorrow Zhao Zheng will come. It is better to be under Mr., without so much intrigue." He Heng gave the second reason.
The second reason is easier for Zhuang Xun to accept. After all, he has experienced it once and is afraid of experiencing it a second time.
"The reason for coming here today is not just to congratulate Heng." He Heng asked Zhuang Xun why he came today.
"We're moving, so I invited some of my brothers to help me. By the way, the environment in Yindu has been bad lately, so I want to ask some of my brothers to be my guards." Zhuang Xun explained the purpose of his visit, which was mainly to move and ask for help.
"Moving? Where to go? Hebei Province? So fast?" He Heng asked curiously, when could the court be so prompt?
"Go and stay at the inn first. By the way, I need to trouble Second Brother He to find some reliable brothers. After all, I will go to work after receiving the imperial edict. There will be many bandits and robbers on the road." Zhuang Xun requested again,
Not only do you have to protect Yin when you are here, but you also have to protect him when you leave.
"Okay, does He Xiucai also want to go to Hebei Province with us?" He Heng asked He Jung.
"Of course, as the benefactor's staff, of course Jung has to go along." He Jung didn't understand why He Heng asked that.
"With the protection of He Xiucai, sir, you don't have to worry." He Heng's eyes were blazing.
"Ah?" Zhuang Xun didn't understand.
"He Xiucai is a practicing master. He is much more powerful than the two lazy characters outside. One of the two outside relies purely on brute force, and the other uses tricks." He Heng made his own judgment.
"It's ridiculous to catch someone's head." He Jung said humbly. He didn't even find out the identity of a cultivator, so it wasn't worth his change of expression.
"We went out to have a discussion. Heng was a little curious about the purpose of a master like Xiucai staying with you." He Heng took the initiative and said.
"They say he is not a master, but Jung is really the benefactor's staff." He Jung handed over, this is how staff can earn merit.
We made an appointment to have a discussion, and the two of us came and went.
There was no dead blow, it was a real competition, and we were familiar with each other's moves.
Zhuang Xun looked at Huang Xi, who was standing upside down, then at Luo Yuecheng, who was carrying a bucket, and finally at the fierce fists, the two people sparring.
It turns out that He Jung is really a martial arts master.
"Am I the real one?" He held on to his slightly sore waist.
You ask why you haven't exercised to build Schwarzenegger's muscles. This is a world of martial arts.
The university knows that if you study hard, you will be able to secure a postgraduate degree, so why don't you study hard?
One word: lazy.
I've been ill these past few days, so I exhausted my brain and typed this out. The quality is not very good, I'm sorry.
