After standing in front of Ma Xing for only a moment, Luo Gang was already sweating profusely. His two buttocks were trembling. He felt very urgent to urinate. He only felt extremely ashamed in his heart. He thought that he was also the son of the Prime Minister's family, and he was the same in Bianliang.

The person who deserves the title is so miserable right now. I glanced at Xiao Cheng beside him, who still looked calm and calm, and I felt even worse.

They all lived in Bianliang, so why is there such a big gap?

In fact, Xiao Cheng, who seemed very calm at the moment, was also feeling uncomfortable all over his body.

The Ma Xing in front of me puts too much pressure on people.

Or when you were in Bianliang, when you saw those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, they were either in your own house or in other people's houses. The identity of meeting you was not an officer but an elder, which naturally made people feel like a spring breeze.

But at the moment, he is serving as the forerunner of the Guangrui Army's relocation to the town as the Eighth Grade Advocate, and Luo Gang is serving as the assistant to the forerunner. With a formal assignment, his feelings in front of Ma Xing are naturally different.

Ma Xing is very tall, no shorter than his brother, but extremely thin. His official robe looks empty on his body, but wherever he stands, he is as proud and independent as a green pine tree, with two eyes looking between the two of them.

Sweeping it all over his body, the sense of scrutiny was too obvious.

"Too young." After a long while, Ma Xingcai said calmly: "If you hadn't marched quickly along the way and Qiu had done nothing wrong, I would have reprimanded Xiao Changqing in writing. Otherwise, it can be seen that Xiao Ding does have a way of training his army.

How can you be led by two people who have never led troops or done practical work before? I am looking forward to Xiao Changqing even more."

Xiao Cheng smiled slightly, "I'm so impressed by the appeasement."

"I'm not praising you, I'm praising Xiao Changqing." Ma Xing snorted, turned around and walked behind the big case, sat down, and looked at the two of them condescendingly. "But Xiao Changqing has the confidence to let his brother and the future

It’s understandable that your brother-in-law has some military exploits. As long as you don’t make mistakes, Ma will help you. But if you make mistakes? Hey, I don’t care whether you are the sons of Ji Xiang’s family or the Dongfu Xianggong’s.

Take the car back to Bianliang."

Luo Gang was full of dissatisfaction. He originally wanted to argue a few words, saying that there were countless unexpected situations along the way, and Xiao Cheng resolved them one by one with ease. But when he looked up, he saw the cold light emanating from Ma Xing's triangular eyes.

He swallowed it back alive.

Well, as long as I am not beheaded on the spot, it will be fine. If something goes wrong, you can escort me in the carriage. As long as I leave Yan'an Prefecture, I can still ride in the carriage, eat delicious food, and return to Bianliang in a leisurely way.

"Please rest assured, although Xiao Cheng is young, he knows the importance and will never miss his official duties. My brother only allowed me to serve as the senior officer after much consideration. It's not because I am his brother!"

He glanced at Ma Xing, smiled slightly and said: "Furthermore, although Xiao Cheng is young, he does not need such military achievements to add glory. Xiao Cheng will definitely reserve a place for the Jinshi Examination next year."

Ma Xing was stunned. He had been working in other places for a long time, and even though he was appointed as the pacification envoy this time, he had not had time to return to Bianliang to express his gratitude. He really didn't know that Xiao Cheng had a reputation as a good scholar in Bianliang, and even got the reputation of Cen Liang.

Recommended by my husband personally.

The Jinshi Examination has always been a towering mountain that is difficult for scholars to climb. Scholars all over the world know it, but every three years, only those in their early 300s can climb this mountain. Of course, there are young people who succeed, but

Most of them are people who have gone through ups and downs and experienced the hardships of scientific examinations, so they have the saying of "Thirty Old Ming Jing" and "Fifty Young Scholars". This Xiao Cheng is only sixteen years old, and he can boast like this. Either he has real talent and practical knowledge.

Or it's just exaggeration and ignorance.

When he thought of this, Ma Xing burst out laughing, pointed to the stool below and said, "Sit down!"

The two of them thanked each other and sat sideways on the stools.

"Come here, give this young man who is scheduled to be a Jinshi next year a cup of tea!" Ma Xing turned around and said to a guard beside him.

Xiao Cheng was stunned. Before he could react, the guard had already turned around and entered the back hall and walked out immediately, bringing Xiao Cheng a cup of tea.

But there was only one cup, and Luo Gang didn't have any.

Luo Gang lost his temper at this time, lowered his head and remained silent. It was unclear what he was thinking in his heart.

"The Comforter, this is my assistant. The journey was extremely hard." Xiao Cheng glanced at the tea on the stools and said.

Ma Xing shook his head: "My cup of tea is for Xiao Cheng and Xiao Chongwen who are scheduled to be Jinshi next year. It is not for my subordinate Xiao Cheng, and Luo Gang has no share. Who doesn't work hard on errands? You

Go to my front door and take a look at the corridors on both sides. When did this happen? How many of those working on errands have already gone home? Hard work is deserved. Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. Don't say it is.

A small advance assistant is the governor of a state. When you come to my place, you may not have a cup of tea. Of course, if your errands go well, I will serve you two a cup of tea.

, it’s not impossible. In my case, it’s very simple. If you have no merit, you will not get rewarded. If you have merit, you will be rewarded heavily. If you have no merit, it is a fault.”

This is an official with real personality.

Listening to the other party's sonorous and powerful words, Xiao Cheng was not only worried about his eldest brother's future.

Ma Xing is a stubborn official. This person may do things vigorously and resolutely, but it is obvious that he lacks the skills to be as good as water! If he blindly suppresses people, even if he says that nothing is done, the future will be lost.

It's very flat.

"In this case, even the lower officials can't stand this cup of tea." Xiao Cheng cupped his hands and said: "Elder brother has warned me many times that if you want your soldiers to serve their lives and work together, then you have to push back the clothes and push them away.

If you eat and drink, you can share the good and bad fortunes. Since Luo Gang, the subordinate of the lower official, cannot be comforted by a cup of tea, the lower official will not dare to accept it."

Hearing that Xiao Cheng blatantly rejected such a powerful pacifier for his own sake, Luo Gang was moved and worried at the same time. This person who killed the commander was like killing a chicken. He really wanted to annoy him, although it was not

As for killing the two of them, what would happen if they were given a beating?

Is it possible that my father will come to fight with him, Ma Xing, just for a meal? I'm afraid I have to write a letter to thank Ma Xing for disciplining their arrogant boy, right?

Ma Xing's triangular eyes narrowed again.

This boy from the Xiao family exceeded his expectations for the second time today.

If the first time he said that he had booked a scholarship for next year, he could be said to be ignorant, then this time he openly refused his overtures for the sake of a companion, which was indeed very courageous.

As for that Luo Gang, although he is a few years older than this Xiao Cheng, he is obviously not a person of the same level. Look at him now, with his neck curled up and his hands folded like a quail, which makes people angry.

"That's right, that's right. It lives up to the name of the general family, and it doesn't weaken the name of Xiao Changqing." After staring at Xiao Cheng for a long time, Ma Xing nodded and said: "Xiao Cheng, along the way,

You have heard a lot about me, right?"

"Yes!" Xiao Cheng said honestly: "Today afternoon, when I was eating mutton steamed buns outside, I listened to the store owner talking about it for a while!"

"What do you think?" Ma Xing leaned back and looked at Xiao Cheng.

If Xiao Cheng excuses himself by saying that a superior officer behaves like a superior and subordinates do not dare to make unjust comments, then Ma Xing feels that this is the case for this kid.

Xiao Cheng did not hesitate and said: "The official thinks that the actions of the pacifier are just like the middle hall behind the pacifier, with iron shoulders and ruthless hands!"

Ma Xing sat up straight and asked, "How to say?"

"We have an iron shoulder to shoulder the moral responsibility and a ruthless hand to protect the common people!" Xiao Cheng said every word. "Nowadays, the affairs in the northwest have been extremely corrupted by the appeasement policy of the former pacifier. We are unable to give direct advice to govern the people.

, Wu is incapable of calming the people and protecting the border, but each one is feeding himself to the point of being fat. He sits and watches the disobedient people getting bigger day by day. If the pacifier does not have a pair of iron shoulders, he must not dare to take up this mess."

"Then how can we solve the problem of ruthless hands protecting the common people?"

"The cruel attacks on these incompetent officials are precisely to save innocent people from being destroyed! How can we cry together as a family if we cry together?"

"Excellent!" Ma Xing punched the desk hard, causing all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the desk to fly up and fall to the floor with a clatter. Ma Xing ignored him and continued to speak.

After the case, he walked up to Xiao Cheng, looked him up and down again, and said: "That's what I was thinking when I wrote these four words. For this, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water.

Even if my family is destroyed for this, I will never regret it. After so long, no one can understand the meaning of this. I didn’t expect that today, someone who saw me for the first time would say it so clearly! I cried all the way,

How can one family cry and ten families cry? If these corrupt officials don't cry, the common people will cry."

"The purpose of comforting and shocking has been achieved. Next, we might as well apply it slowly. This will be a long-term solution!" Seeing Ma Xing's behavior, Xiao Cheng not only advised him.

Ma Xing laughed: "Of course I understand what you mean, and thank you for your kindness. But severe cases require strong medicine, and I'm afraid it's too late!"

"Li Xu can't wait any longer?" Xiao Cheng asked in shock.

"Since I took office, Li Xu has accelerated the pace." Ma Xing said: "So now I urgently need a force like Xiao Changqing who is capable of fighting and winning, so as to scare those wallflowers. As long as

If there are more grass on the wall, Li Xu's rebellion will naturally be slower, and I will have more time."

"I understand." Xiao Cheng said: "My brother will definitely not let down the trust of the pacifier."
