At dawn, Qin Liang and dozens of others set out from Shouchun City.
In the morning, they passed by Yangquan County in the northwest of Shaopi. The county magistrate led his officials to greet him at the city gate and wanted to invite Qin Liang to inspect the city. Qin Liang declined on the grounds that he only passed through Yangquan County this time and there were two other counties that he could not go to.
They were ordered to return to the county seat in a month to report on their duties.
However, Qin Liang just wanted to save time and wanted to go to Lu'an City to settle down as soon as possible.
On the same day, after everyone arrived at the east bank of the Xianshui River, they only needed to go south along the Xianshui River to reach Lu'an City.
Not far away, Ancheng, where the mansions were burned down by Wu soldiers two years ago, is still there. This town is under the jurisdiction of the military garrison of Lujiang County, but it is not the county seat. There were already many villagers near Shaopi, but the Wu soldiers came and snatched them away.
The population was at least tens of thousands. Qin Liang didn't care at that time, but now when he saw Ancheng, he suddenly felt a little pain in his body.
The road from Shouchun to Lu'an was about two hundred miles. The carriages and horses of Qin Liang and others did not stop much on the road. When they approached Lu'an City the next day, the sun was already setting in the west.
On a clear evening, a layer of golden light shines on the edge of the clouds in the sky, dotting the sky, making the sky even grander. This place belongs to a low hilly area, and although there are undulating low hills, the line of sight is very wide.
In the quiet farmland, villages are scattered in an orderly manner, and there are farmers in the fields. At this time, they all straightened up and were curiously looking at the team on the road. They may not know yet, but the people in this team will soon be there.
The owner of this land.
"Liu'an!" Someone in the team shouted emotionally.
In the orange light of the setting sun, the city in front looked more and more primitive, and Qin Liang, who was riding a horse, couldn't help but look at it for a long time.
Lujiang County used to be governed by Shu County in the south for a long time. Now Shu County has been destroyed by war. Lu'an used to be a county seat, so the city does not look big, much smaller than Shouchun City.
But Qin Liang doesn't despise it at all. No matter how small it is, it is still his own city! Qin Liang has gone through so many things and traveled to so many places, and finally has his own territory. How can he despise it?
Moreover, the city of Lu'an has been built for a long time, and its foundation is not bad. The city walls are very thick, covered with bricks, moats and other facilities are available, and the roads outside the city are also well maintained. Therefore, the Wu army came to attack many times.
But there was nothing we could do to capture Lu'an City, which had few defenders.
As the distance gets closer, the linear outline of the Wudianding tower becomes clearer and clearer. The old tile roof is glowing with the brilliance of the setting sun on one side and hidden in the shadows on the other. Between the light and darkness, it seems to be telling the story of the years.
Perhaps it was just a psychological effect. Qin Liang became more and more pleased with this city, secretly giving everything about it a lot of poetry.
The Lu'an County Magistrate and other officials were already waiting at the door. Qin Liang got off his horse and greeted everyone. There were many people. The Magistrate's name was Tao Wen. Qin Liang couldn't remember all the names of the other people at the moment.
The team was immediately replenished and entered the city in a mighty manner. There were cross-shaped galloping roads in the city, and the inner walls and house walls were divided into chessboards. The houses were built very compactly. It was originally a city the size of a county seat, but now more government offices and barracks were packed in.
, it became like this. But this is good, it looks more densely populated and prosperous.
When he arrived at the county mansion, Qin Liang saw Wen Qin at the door.
Qin Liang did not know this person, but he had heard that he was very strong. At first, he only saw a burly man in official uniform standing in front of him.
Later, the suspicion was indeed confirmed.
This was the burliest person Qin Liang had ever seen in Wei State. Rao Dashan, who was already intimidating, seemed to be a little shorter in front of Wen Qin.
Wen Qin didn't have to go out of his way to deny his relatives like Cao Shuang. He felt arrogant and rude just by going there to fight. He was very tall and strong, but he straightened his neck and looked down at people, not to mention his expression.
Being too friendly, like sneering and glaring at others, makes it difficult not to look arrogant.
Qin Liang felt better. After all, Wen Qin was now a fourth-grade city gate captain, which was higher than Qin Liang. But when Wang Ling and Zhuge Dan were dealing with Wen Qin, they encountered a subordinate who looked like he needed a beating.
What does that feel like?
Wen Qin said: "My people have been evacuated and are temporarily staying in the county temple. They are just waiting for Zhongming to come and will leave tomorrow. Now the mansion belongs to Zhongming."
Qin Liang said calmly: "The mansion belongs to the imperial court. Congratulations to General Wen on his promotion."
"Let's talk a few words?" Wen Qin turned his head and glanced at the watchtower.
Qin Liang nodded and waved for everyone to come into the house and settle down first. He then said to Tao Wen: "It's getting late today, so please go off duty. I'll see you at the mansion tomorrow."
Tao Wen and others paid their respects and said, "Your Majesty is tired of traveling and riding, and I don't dare to disturb you because of my humble rank. Please take your leave."
So Qin Liang and Wen Qin walked to a watchtower next to the gatehouse. He stood at the window and saw countless rooftops and pavilions in the city. The scenery was so grand that in an instant he almost forgot what he was doing and just focused on
Look there.
Wen Qin's voice said: "Zhuge Dan can't be so kind and ask for credit from me."
Zhuge Dan was also a governor, so he called him by his first name.
Qin Liang calmed down, turned around and said, "I heard that it was General Zhuge who performed the feat."
Wen Qin sneered: "He's thinking about how to punish me, but that's pretty much it."
Qin Liang thought to himself: It seems that you have a good idea. In that case, I just met you, what can we talk about?
After walking for a few steps, Qin Liang rubbed his bare chin and said: "General Wen will know what happened when he went back to see the general. It was indeed General Zhuge who asked for credit and asked his friend Xiahou, the Marquis of Changling Township.
General, after speaking kindly in front of the general, the general invited Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother to appoint General Wen as the fourth grade city gate captain."
Wen Qin suddenly said: "Is it you who came up with the idea? You want to be the governor of Lujiang County."
Qin Liang didn't pay attention and was startled for a moment. Because of this matter, even the Sima Master felt that it was Wang Ling's idea. How could Wen Qin, a martial artist, guess it right at once?
But after a while, Qin Liang understood that Wen Qin was not relying on speculation, but on intuition. It is estimated that Wang Ling was also very dissatisfied with Wen Qin, and Wen Qin himself could feel it.
Wen Qin observed Qin Liang's expression with a sneer in his big eyes.
This man's size is very oppressive and his eyes are quite big, but in Qin Liang's opinion, he is far less stressful than Sima Yi's gaze, and even worse than Guo Huai. Qin Liang felt nothing when being stared at by Wen Qin.
.
Anyway, now Qin Liang has successfully stood on the upper floor of Lujiang County Mansion. In addition, Wen Qin is not from the Sima family, so Qin Liang does not need to be too cautious, so he laughed "hehe" and said noncommittally: "It depends on me."
Only then can I invite General Zhuge."
As expected, Qin Liang no longer denied it. Wen Qin still looked unsure and snorted again, still thinking about it.
Seeing Wen Qin with his own eyes, Qin Liang didn't have any bad feelings towards this disliked military general. So Qin Liang suddenly thought of forming a good relationship, so he reminded him again: "I am also a member of the general's palace, so I won't do it anyway."
Harm the general."
"The general is very good." Wen Qin nodded.
He glanced at Qin Liang and actually bowed deeply and said, "Zhong Ming, see you later."
Qin Liang was surprised and immediately returned the greeting.
