The drizzle outside Qinghe City seems to be falling non-stop, which seems a bit desolate for the upcoming general.
Bi Hanlin, who was sitting on a tall horse, looked at the city in the distance, with a cold expression on his face.
Logically speaking, officials from Qinghe City have already come to pick him up.
But now they have arrived outside Qinghe City, but there is still no movement.
This is definitely a shame for a general who has lived on the border for a long time.
It’s not that Bi Hanlin is pedantic or pompous.
But I don’t understand the most basic etiquette.
Regarding the current situation, Bi Hanlin looked at the people following him with a cold face and asked in a low voice.
"Why haven't the officials in Qinghe Prefecture come out to receive you?"
The man behind him heard this, but his expression changed slightly.
Even if General Bi asked him about this, he didn't know. After all, he came with him, so how could he know why the officials from Qinghe City didn't come out to receive him?
If it had been any other time, local officials would have been waiting outside the city gate.
But at the moment, he really doesn't know what the situation is, so he can only say.
"General, I'm afraid this Qinghe Prefecture is too remote and the officials here have even forgotten basic etiquette."
In fact, even if he gave such an answer, even he himself would not believe it.
But right now he doesn't have a better answer.
When Bi Hanlin heard this, a sneer flashed across his face.
Before he could speak, he suddenly saw a group of people running towards this place in the distance.
From the clothes of those people, it is not difficult to tell that these are court officials.
Seeing someone coming, Bi Hanlin's face became colder.
As soon as these officials arrived, he would make inquiries.
If he couldn't explain why, he would make the officials here remember today.
In a matter of moments, the person in front had already arrived.
Before Bi Hanlin could speak, the officials in front had already knelt down and shouted respectfully.
"Yao Qiming, the governor of Yueyangzhou, pays homage to the general!"
Hearing this, Bi Hanlin, who was sitting on the saddle, frowned slightly.
Then Bi Hanlin asked.
"Why is the person who came to receive you the governor of Yue Yangzhou? And not the governor of Qinghe Prefecture?"
After Bi Hanlin finished speaking, Yao Qiming, who was kneeling in front, trembled with fear.
Seeing this situation, Bi Hanlin obviously saw the clues and asked coldly.
"What happened?"
As he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Yao Qiming, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.
At this moment, Yao Qiming knew that he couldn't be fooled, so he could only speak tremblingly.
"Reporting to the general, Yuan He, the former governor of Qinghe Prefecture, has died at the hands of the Qin invaders, and now Qinghe Prefecture has also fallen into the hands of the Qin invaders."
As soon as these words came out, Bi Hanlin's expression suddenly changed.
The look of disbelief was even more obvious.
When he came back to his senses, he asked if he didn't come back.
"What's going on? Why did the Qin bandits dare to attack Qinghe Prefecture?"
At this moment, Yao Qiming, the governor of Yueyangzhou, who was kneeling on the ground, felt miserable in his heart.
How did he know that this Qin bandit was so brave that he dared to attack Qinghe Prefecture?
But right now he didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that Yao Qiming remained silent, Bi Hanlin's face suddenly darkened.
Perhaps because he saw that the general sitting on the horse was already angry, Yao Qiming spoke quickly.
"General, I have ordered people to prepare a banquet in Qinghe City. I think it is better for us to go into the city and discuss this matter..."
Originally, Yao Qiming thought that the general in front of him would agree.
But the result was beyond his expectation.
Instead of accepting his proposal, the general on the horse sneered at him and looked at him coldly.
This immediately made Yao Qiming feel a chill on his back.
A bad feeling also arose in my heart.
As expected, the general on horseback asked again in the next moment.
"Regardless of the situation, why do you dare to come and invade my kingdom?"
"I only want to ask you one thing now..."
"How long did the Qin invaders occupy Qinghe City?"
After Bi Hanlin finished speaking, Yao Qiming, who was kneeling in front, fell silent again.
It's not that he doesn't want to answer, it's that he doesn't dare to answer the question at all.
According to the laws of the current dynasty, once rebels invade any place, the nearby government must help immediately.
If an official in charge of the territory where the rebels are located is killed, nearby officials will take over and wait for support.
According to this law, he is committing a serious crime!
Because when Qinghe Prefecture was occupied, instead of coming to take over, the Qin invaders were allowed to develop wantonly in Qinghe Prefecture.
Based on his current situation, it would not be an exaggeration to accuse him of beheading.
Yao Qiming, who knew how serious his problem was, was naturally unwilling to lose his life like this, so he spoke immediately.
"General, it's not that I don't want to come and take over without waiting..."
However, before Yao Qiming could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the general on horseback.
"This general is asking how long Qinghe City has been occupied by the Qin invaders? I'm not asking you any other questions!"
The cold voice made Yao Qiming panic.
"If you don't answer truthfully, you will be thrown directly into jail!"
As the words fell, Yao Qiming smiled bitterly in his heart again.
He knew he couldn't escape today.
If he takes the initiative to speak out now, there may be a chance of survival.
"Reporting to the general, the Qin invaders captured Qinghe Prefecture four months ago."
After saying that, Yao Qiming's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.
Subconsciously he raised his head and glanced at the general on horseback, only to see that sneer still on his face.
"Then why don't you take back Qinghe Prefecture?"
The cold voice came out again, making Yao Qiming's heart tremble.
However, Yao Qiming had already thought of an answer to this question.
"General, Qin Kou now has a team of more than ten thousand untouchables under his command. Even if the entire army of Yue Yangzhou is dispatched, there is nothing that can do anything to Qin Kou!"
If he hadn't heard Yao Qiming say this before, he really planned to convict Yao Qiming.
But now when he heard that Qin Kou's team had grown to tens of thousands, even Bi Hanlin couldn't help being surprised.
Before he came, Bi Hanlin thought that this matter was a fuss made by the current emperor, and asked him, a general guarding the border, to come and exterminate the local bandits.
But now, Bi Hanlin no longer thinks so.
To be able to develop such an armed force in such a short period of time, it seems that the boy named Qin is not an ordinary person.
Of course, if the boy named Qin only occupied the sea, he might not be so surprised.
The key thing is that this boy named Qin dares to come to Qinghe Prefecture!
That's what really surprised him.
He has the courage and the ability.
I have to say that the boy named Qin is quite a character!
