Early winter has arrived, and the small courtyard of Chunfengju is intertwined with yellow and green.
On the stone table in the small courtyard, there are melon seeds, peanuts, red dates, rice cake slices and other items on the plate.
The huge coward sat on a recliner and looked at Li Qingxian, who was dressed in white across from him.
Li Qingxian poured a cup of tea, pushed it over, and said: "Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief of the Guards, is here, but I am not welcome from afar."
"Did Master Zhou keep you where you are?"
Li Qingxian said helplessly: "He has never liked red tape. When I said goodbye, he locked me at the door for more than ten seconds."
"Master Zhou is also a man of temperament. However, his temper has improved a lot in recent years. When he was on the river, he was so high-spirited that we and other descendants admire him."
"I have never heard of Master Zhou's story about guarding the river. Please tell me." Li Qingxian said.
While drinking tea, the king told the story of that year, and inadvertently talked about the past events of General Wang, Li Gangfeng, Zhou Chunfeng, Liu Feijiu, Zhao Yishan and so on.
After talking for almost an hour, the coward asked: "How is your cooperation with the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"It went very smoothly." Li Qingxian said.
"Because of you, the patrol department is in a bad situation." The coward stared into Li Qingxian's eyes.
"I, as an outsider, cannot dictate what the Patrol Department does," Li Qingxian said.
"I heard that the King of Chu wants to explain this matter clearly in the court hall."
"His chief executive colluded with evil factions and exploited the princes of the dynasty. If he dared to explain it in court, wouldn't he be afraid of being scolded by the nobles?"
"He can't offend the nobles, but he can offend the night guards." The coward said.
Li Qingxian smiled and said: "You don't want to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard anyway, so why not resign and let the King of Chu become the Commander-in-Chief? But...well...the successive Commander-in-Chief of the Guard...well..."
Before Li Qingxian finished speaking, all the successive guards in charge were dead.
The Coward King stretched out his big hand, pointed at Li Qingxian, clicked it three times, and scolded with a smile: "They say you are a difficult person, and I have seen it today."
"Those are all rumors. I have always been friendly and united with my colleagues."
"How much is that mine worth?"
"Tell the truth?"
"Truth."
"Including bits and pieces, it's almost 100 million." Li Qingxian said.
"How much will Night Guard get?"
"This is the private property of Liuyang Duke's Mansion. If you want to cooperate with the Qiu family, I suggest you talk to Liuyang's son Qiu Ye in detail. I have his messenger here." Li Qingxian said.
The Coward King was silent for a moment and said: "What is the next goal of your cooperation with the Hubu and Shanming Sect?"
"Once this matter is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous. Lower officials cannot leak secrets." Li Qingxian said.
The cowardly king remained silent.
No oil or salt enters.
After a while, the coward said: "Do you know Jian Yuancang's appointment?"
"The commander on the right is in charge of the daily affairs of the night guard, and he has a high position of authority." Li Qingxian said.
"But he wants to also serve as Sizheng of the Patrol Department." The coward said.
"Isn't Song Yanxue also in charge?"
"I heard that the old man in Song Yanxue's family hopes that she will find another place to work."
Li Qingxian thought for a while and then realized that the King of Chu must have reached some kind of deal with the Song family, and Song Yanxue was sacrificed so that Jian Yuancang could take over.
Song Yanxue has always been strong-willed, so how could he do so willingly, so it makes sense to arrest the King of Chu.
Li Qingxian asked: "The superiors want to turn night guards into patrol officers. Is it true or false?"
"is true."
"Then what the Inspector General said is true, reducing the night guard's autonomy and turning the night guard into a pure sharp knife?"
"I don't know what the specific details are, as I keep my mouth shut." The cowardly king said.
Li Qingxian suddenly said: "King Chu intervened in the night guard, what do the people above think?" As he said that, he cupped his fists and raised them lightly toward the sky.
"oh?"
Li Qingxian said sternly: "I don't care about the night guard or the chief commander, or the king of Chu or Jin. There should only be one voice in this country, and that is the emperor. What the emperor thinks, I will do. If the emperor doesn't like it, then I will do it."
I can’t do it.”
The timid king sighed: "What a great Marquis Qiyuan. How many people in the current imperial court really have the emperor in their hearts? There are too few people like you who are loyal to the emperor and the country."
"Yes, there are too few people like me, but the Commander-in-Chief must also be such a person. We are like-minded." Li Qingxian nodded deeply.
The timid king smiled and said, "Are you interested in taking over the patrol department?"
"Huh? Me?" Li Qingxian didn't react for a while.
"I've been looking through Night Guard's resume these days. You seem to be a suitable candidate," the coward said.
"I'm actually at level six, so it's hard for me to do the job." Li Qingxian shook his head.
"But your official position is from the third rank, and you are the number one scholar in the Qingyun Examination. As a sixth-rank person, you also serve as the fifth-rank patrol officer. It is really legitimate. Even those civil servants are speechless."
"I'll think about it again."
"If Mr. Chunfeng were still here, he would be very happy to see you take over the patrol department. One day he chatted with me and said that you are a good boy and different from other children. You are very courageous and are better than everyone else.
big."
"Uncle Zhou loves the house and the bird. How dare I be? I'm just a fortune-teller who just waits for death." Li Qingxian said.
The coward said: "Your identity is a bit embarrassing. If you become the head of a county, no one will have any opinions. However, no matter how high you are, the civil servants may not be happy. Even if you are the son of Gang Feng, you are not a literary cultivator after all. If you join the army,
You have no foundation. Although your Shen Gong Sect and Qi Yuan Army are prosperous, they are still small things and will take many years to become a big success. The Evil Sect Demon Sect Puppet Cultivator is not suitable for you. After thinking about it, it is still Ye Ye in your hometown.
Wei is the best."
"I like being in the night guard, but some people in the night guard don't like me. They don't care, and they want to demolish Chunfengju. What can I do? I, Li Qingxian, have always liked to be harmonious and don't like to quarrel with others.
Back then, I was young and energetic, so I used life skills to deal with Wei Yong. But now, I have matured and can only follow the rules. But I am young, what rules do I know? I can’t even understand what you said. Alas,
I’m very discouraged.”
The coward king laughed and scolded: "You bastard, you are beating around the bush all day long to belittle me. Tell me what you want."
"It's not what I want now, but what you want, Lord Commander." Li Qingxian smiled and lowered his head to drink tea.
The coward was silent for a long time, then stretched out his hand, grabbed the baked rice cake slices on the empty plate, and stuffed them all into his mouth.
Crunch...crunch...
Li Qingxian glanced at the empty plate and said slowly: "Mrs. Zhao didn't send many rice cake slices, leave some for me."
The sound of chewing suddenly stopped.
The coward's hand was placed near his mouth, neither up nor down.
The king chewed the baked rice cake slices carefully, and after a long time, he swallowed them slowly.
He stared at the dates on the plate.
"That jujube is produced in Taizicheng?"
"Um."
Zhao Yishan's hometown is in Taizi County.
The Coward King stretched out his hand, reached down slowly, picked up a red date with his thumb and index finger, and put it into his mouth.
He bit open the jujube, rolled out the jujube core with his tongue, spit it out in his hand, and placed it on the stone table.
