Shi Dejun was familiar with the family and the roads, and soon took Guo Xin to find the registration hall in the Yamen. When they arrived at the courtyard gate, the guarding scribe only let in Guo Xin, who had come to register.
"The rules are like this, Guo Lang can go in alone." Shi Dejun seemed very well-behaved in the yamen, and he didn't look like he was reckless outside at all.
Guo Xin nodded, told Guo Pu to wait for him outside the courtyard, and then walked alone into the courtyard that was responsible for the military registration roll.
The clerk who led the way took him to a hall in the corner of the courtyard, pointed inside and said, "This is it." After that, he turned around and left.
Guo Xin took a look and saw that there was only a green-robed civil servant inside, crouching in front of the case and writing something unknown. It wasn't until Guo Xin cleared his throat outside the door that the civil servant inside realized that someone was coming. He raised his head and asked him: "I wonder who the gentleman is?"
Guo Xin hugged a fist and said, "The new Fengguo Army Commander is here to register."
"Guo Dutou, come in." The civil servant nodded in greeting, stood up and started rummaging through the row of bookshelves behind him.
Guo Xin walked into the room, and his nose was suddenly filled with a strong but not pungent smell of ink. The civil servant searched twice but didn't seem to find what he was looking for. He turned around and said to Guo Xin with a smile: "I came to this place only after I arrived in Yuecai. I am not familiar with these documents yet. Please sit down and wait for a while."
"There's no rush now." Guo Xin also smiled back and sat down on the low stool in front of the civil servant's case. His eyes naturally fell on the unfinished words on the case.
The ink on the white paper has not yet dried, and the civil servant's calligraphy is pretty good, but Guo Xin doesn't know calligraphy, so he can't tell who he learned it from.
He scanned it and read it casually: "I heard that if there are many difficulties, the country will prosper, and if Yin is worried, the saint will be enlightened." Nowadays, the Hu people have invaded, and the ancestral temples have been destroyed, which is a real disaster for the Central Plains... However, when things are dangerous, one's ambition becomes sharper, and one's emotions become more painful and worrying. Only those who can turn disaster into blessing... The destiny of heaven has not changed, and it has returned..."
Guo Xin was astonished after not reading a few words. Although he couldn't identify some of the glyphs while sitting backwards, what the civil servant wrote had an air of mystery and mystery. But he was not considered a roughneck, and after looking at it for a while, he still didn't understand. What was on the case was clearly a form of persuasion to be submitted to Liu Zhiyuan!
Guo Xin slowly looked away from the paper and looked at the figure of the civil servant who was still rummaging in front of the bookshelf. He thought to himself: The signs of Liu Zhiyuan's rebellion against the Khitan have just been revealed. Now that the civil servant is preparing to persuade the Khitan to join, is it not right? Too early?
But then he thought about it: Although he knew that Liu Zhiyuan would start the Later Han Dynasty in the near future, he didn't know exactly when. If the junior officers in this military room could smell it, maybe it would happen before he knew it. In this place, the entire Taiyuan Prefecture's civil and military officials were writing their own letters of advice, waiting for Liu Zhiyuan to board the Dabao as soon as possible...
Then he remembered Guo Wei's excitement when he came home occasionally recently, and he couldn't help but wonder, Liu Zhiyuan was already preparing to proclaim himself emperor in Taiyuan?
At this time, the civil servant finally took down a document from the bookshelf: "I found it. Can you read?"
Seeing Guo Xin nodding, the civil servant handed him the document in his hand: "Please take down the talisman letter and have a look. But there is a vacancy on this document under the command of Feng Guojun Zuo?"
Guo Xin took the document, lowered his head and took off his waist badge. He quickly found the position of the left commanding officer of the Fengguo Army on the document. Sure enough, there was a vacancy for Dutou.
When Guo Xin raised his head to look at the civil servant again, he saw from the corner of his eye that the "Persuasion Form" on the case had disappeared without a trace. Guo Xinxin smiled secretly, but pretended not to know and pointed it out to the civil servant: "This is the gap."
The civil servant took the document back, took the pen from the pen holder and dipped it on the inkstone again: "You haven't asked me your first and last name yet?"
"Guo Xin, trust what people say."
The civil servant who was about to write paused when he heard the words: "Mr. Lang is the second son of Guo Kongmu's family?"
"Um, I should be down there." Guo Xin looked bitter, fearing that the civil servant in front of him would burst into laughter soon, and then added, "You are the Erlang of the Guo family who saved the beauty!" '
Fortunately, the civil servant didn't seem to know about this. He just raised his wrist and put the pen back on the pen holder. He stood up solemnly and bowed respectfully: "I am Zan (zǎn) Jurun, and Guo Kongmu has been kind to me. Since Langjun is the son of my benefactor, if Zan was rude just now, I hope Langjun will forgive me."
Guo Xin did not expect that the civil servant in front of him who was writing the letter of persuasion would actually be favored by his father Guo Wei. He also cupped his fists and saluted: "Mr. Zan, please sit down quickly. Since we have this opportunity, we don't need to see him outside."
Zan Jurun sat down with a smile: "Guo Kongmu is a man of benevolence and charity. The husband of the family is indeed a gentleman."
Guo Xin pointed to the document in front of Zan Jurun: "He's just a martial artist."
"Yes, I almost missed Guo Lang's official business." As he said this, Zan Jurun took down the brush from the pen holder again, and wrote Guo Xin's name on the document with Ningmei very seriously.
Guo Xin saw his name written in black and white on the military registration list, and a stone finally fell to the ground in his heart.
"Since the matter has been settled and there are friends waiting outside, I won't disturb Mr. Zan's business."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Zan Jurun stood up and walked him to the door: "If Guo Lang needs help from the military depot in the future, just ask me."
Guo Xin clasped his fists and said, "This is natural. Mr. Zan, just stay back."
Guo Xin took two steps and thought of something. He turned around and smiled and said to Zan Jurun who had already stepped into the threshold with one foot: "Mr. Zan's article is very good."
After saying that, Guo Xin walked out of the courtyard without looking back, leaving Zan Jurun almost tripping over the threshold under his feet. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Guo Xin had already left the courtyard, so he had to shake his head and walk into the house with a wry smile. .
Guo Xin walked out of the courtyard and saw that Shi Dejun was still waiting for him outside the courtyard.
"Guo Lang, is the matter done?"
Guo Xin nodded, and Shi Dejun asked again: "By the way, which commander does Guo Lang obey?"
"I don't know, I just know that it was commanded by Feng Guojun Zuo." Guo Xin realized why he had forgotten to ask Zan Jurun about this when he was inside.
"Feng Guojun..." Shi Dejun lowered his head and read it twice, then suddenly raised his head: "Hi! It's the commander of King Wang Jin!"
Guo Xin was surprised: "Do you know him?"
The corners of Shi Dejun's lips curled up: "I can't say we know each other, but Commander Wang happened to have stayed under my father for a while. If Guo Lang begs me, I will take you to introduce Commander Wang to him."
"I have to meet you sooner or later, no matter how long it takes." Guo Xin snorted coldly, "Speaking of which, I haven't settled the accounts with you just now for what happened outside the Yamen."
Shi Dejun scratched his head and said with a pity look on his face: "It doesn't matter, I was responsible for what happened at the Yamen just now, so I, Shi, will go out of my way to apologize to you."
The two were chatting and laughing, and Guo Pu next to him interrupted: "Brother Yi, it's almost noon, and it's time for people from outside to come in... Shouldn't we go out through the side door?" After that, he secretly looked at Shi Dejun.
As expected, Shi Dejun's eyebrows twitched: "I'm afraid of the eggs. At worst, I'll beat a few more..."
"Just take the side door!" Guo Xin quickly interrupted Shi Dejun. He didn't want to cause any more trouble and would not be able to explain to Guo Wei later.
"Damn it, you must be a coward who ran away before the battle..." Shi Dejun said harsh words, but his body followed Guo Xin honestly.
