"Well, that's right."

Liu Lin tapped his fingers repeatedly and said leisurely: "Xingwen, actually I came to you this time to tell you something."

"Please tell me, Protector-General, I will go through fire and water for Protector-General without any hesitation."

Seeing that Liu Lin valued him so much, Jia Xingwen quickly clasped his fists to show his loyalty.

"Hey, don't go through fire and water. I don't need you to go through fire and water."

After a pause, Liu Lin said leisurely: "Do you know why there were four towns in Anxi in the first place?"

"Back to the Protectorate, the four towns established in Anxi were to protect the Protectorate and also to deter foreigners."

Liu Lin nodded and said: "That's right. Anxi or the Western Region is vast. The territory is too big to be managed by the Governor's Office alone. As you have analyzed before, some of the small countries here are close to the big ones.

Some of them are from the Zhou Dynasty, and some are repelling the Great Zhou Dynasty. No matter what they think in their hearts, in the eyes of this general and the court, more vassal towns need to be set up to have reasonable jurisdiction and deter all countries.

effect."

Liu Lin suddenly said this to Jia Xingwen so solemnly, which made Jia Xingwen confused for a while.

What does Protector Dadu mean by this?

"The Protector..."

"Hey, you should listen to me first."

Liu Lin didn't seem to be in a hurry. He spoke in an unhurried manner: "Each of the four towns in Anxi is usually stationed with ten thousand to twenty thousand people. These troops may not look like many, but they are the regular troops of Anxi.

About 20% of the total.”

Liu Lin's eyes seemed to shine with golden light.

"So, what I, the general, mean is, are you willing to take charge of one of the four towns?"

Boom!

When Jia Xingwen heard this, he felt like his brain was going crazy.

He couldn't believe his ears.

is this real?

Does it mean that Liu Lin, the Great Protector of Anxi, wants him to serve as the guardian of one of the four towns?

Liu Lin felt it was a bit incredible.

"Daduhu, this is impossible, right?"

"What can't you do? I just want to ask you, are you willing?"

Liu Lin seemed to have had a plan for a long time, so his attitude was relatively firm, as if he would immediately give the order as long as Jia Xingwen agreed.

"Well, Protector General, I think this is indeed a bit too sudden."

"You mean you don't want to anymore?"

"My subordinates have limited abilities, and I hope to be able to always be by the Protector's side and help him solve mundane matters."

Jia Xingwen's mind was racing rapidly.

To be honest, this is a godsend opportunity for the two of them.

If he can catch it, it can be said that he can get a huge improvement.

But if he fails to catch it, he may have to maintain his current status for quite some time.

So what on earth should he do?

Jia Xingwen had two ideas in his mind, but in the end the rational side prevailed.

Becoming a town's garrison is impressive, but can he hold it down with his current qualifications?

If it cannot be suppressed, the threat it will face will be unimaginably great.

After all, he has just joined the Anxi Army and has not yet made any achievements. He is in a high position just because of the recognition of the Imperial Guard Liu Lin, which will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of his colleagues.

Jia Xingwen didn't want to become a problem when he first arrived, nor did he want the situation to get out of control because of some trivial matters.

Therefore, he finally chose to stay with Liu Lin and serve as a counselor and staff instead of jumping out alone to act as a general.

Furthermore, Jia Xingwen knew that he was not the material to lead the army.

If you ask him to fight alone, he may be able to do it, but if you ask him to lead an army to fight, it is really difficult for him.

It is important for people to be self-aware and never do things beyond their capabilities, otherwise they are likely to end up with a result that cannot be ended.

Jia Xingwen extremely hoped that Liu Lin could understand his difficulties and stop forcing him.

Liu Lin's expression was gloomy and uncertain.

He really didn't expect that Jia Xingwen would reject him.

In Liu Lin's opinion, he provided Jia Xingwen with an extremely good opportunity. As long as Jia Xingwen performed a little better according to the opportunity he provided, he would be able to gain a firm foothold in the Anxi Army and even rise to prominence from then on.

What a wonderful thing this is.

But Jia Xingwen didn't seem to have the intention to do this.

This person is really pedantic.

However, Liu Lin quickly changed his attitude.

Because when bad coach Feng Hao recommended Jia Xingwen to Liu Lin, he made his advantages and disadvantages very clear.

Jia Xingwen’s strengths are that he is honest, serious, down-to-earth and hard-working.

Jia Xingwen's shortcoming is that he is too accepting of death and too rigid and pedantic.

Therefore, since Liu Lin chose to use Jia Xingwen, he should accept his shortcomings while accepting his advantages.

"Okay, since that's what you think in your heart, I won't force you."

Liu Lin laughed loudly and said: "Now that the matter is over, you can stay with me and be a counselor."

"Thank you, Protector."

Seeing that Liu Lin finally relaxed, Jia Xingwen also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was just thinking whether his answer was too direct, which made Liu Lin feel uncomfortable.

But now it seems that Liu Lin didn't think too much.

It seems that he is overthinking.

That's all, from now on he will inevitably have opportunities to show off when he is around Da Duhu, but from now on he will inevitably have to talk more than he thinks.

...

...

Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.

Library.

After taking Wangcai for a walk through the academy and admiring the beautiful natural beauty, Zhao Xun took the little fat man to the library.

The Library Pavilion can be said to be the most spiritual and cultural place in the entire Haoran Academy.

In terms of scale, the delinquent's library is probably much larger than the entire academy's library.

However, when it comes to the comprehensiveness of the collection of books, the library in the academy is no less comprehensive than the library of bad people’s yamen.

Even worse.

Zhao Xun once saw many books rarely seen in this world in the library of the academy.

These collections of books cover various aspects of astronomy and geography.

What's even more amazing is that there are also books about the continent of Erenlohr, which is parallel to this world.

It was from these books that Zhao Xun learned a lot about the continent of Ellen Lore.

This point is crucial.

Because if it weren't for this knowledge, it would be impossible for Zhao Xun to have such a comprehensive grasp of the history and knowledge of the major tribes in Ellen Lore.

Simply relying on communication with these tribes is definitely unreliable.

Not to mention whether these tribes will tell the truth to Zhao Xun, even if they tell the truth, they will definitely have reservations.

Therefore, Zhao Xun must supplement his knowledge in this area after coming down.

Only by doing this can you avoid being deceived or played with.

The reason why Zhao Xun came to the Library this time was because he wanted to learn more about orcs.

As we all know, the Orcs are a very powerful tribe, but as the human prince Harry Postman said, the Orcs were a tribe that was once so evil that other tribes united to ban it.

For a long time, the half-orc tribe was like a rat crossing the street and everyone yelled and beat it up in the continent of Ellen Lore.

Zhao Xun knew that he couldn't just believe one-sided words, so what he could do now was to read as many books as possible to see if he could see some history about the orcs from the books.

As for the little fat man Wangcai, he was reading books that interested him.
