A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats sounded untimely in Henry Zhang's mansion.
Magistrate Zhao, who was about to make arrangements, and Magistrate Zhang Xuan, who was struggling with what to do, turned to look in the direction of the sound.
A young man who looked nothing like Henry Zhang was wearing a suit of armor and riding a war horse. He rushed in directly from the gate and got off his horse.
This series of smooth movements shocked everyone present, and it was the servants in the house who reacted.
"Second Young Master? The eldest young master is the Second Young Master who is back."
Looking at the man who came in dressed like a brigade marshal, Xu Yunyan knew clearly that this was someone Wang Huan and Xu Guichang knew, and he had fooled the eighth-grade official they were matched with.
But this person looks familiar, I can’t remember where I’ve seen him before.
Just as he was thinking this, the county magistrate hurriedly came out to greet him, "Hey, it's Erlang Zhang of the Zhang family who's back. It looks like he's been promoted and has become brigade commander?"
"Is Magistrate Zhao here too?"
The man called the Second Young Master hurriedly said, "Thanks to the county magistrate, I did achieve some merit on the battlefield and became an eighth-grade brigade commander."
As soon as the second young master finished speaking, the county magistrate suddenly laughed: "Okay, great, Zhang Li, you came back at the right time. It is a happy event for us in Qinghe County that you have been promoted to brigade commander."
But now there are people here who are cheating and kidnapping, and even instigating their subordinates to injure our people. Lieutenant Zhang Xuan may not be his opponent. You are back just in time. Capture these two unscrupulous guys and punish them severely. "
As soon as Magistrate Zhao finished speaking, Zhang Li was surprised: "Who is not so blind? He actually did evil in Qinghe County. Now I will capture him for the Magistrate."
Just after Zhang Li finished speaking, he took out his sword from beside the horse and walked forward, "I want to see who it is. Is it three heads and six arms?"
But when passing by the door, Henry Zhang grabbed his "second brother."
Zhang Li thought that his brother Zhang Xuan was going to give him some instructions, so he immediately said, "Brother, it doesn't matter, I'm back, there won't be any problems."
But as soon as Zhang Li came in from the door, the first thing he saw was the two Niu brothers, who snorted coldly.
"Are you two making trouble here?"
However, the two Niu brothers, even though they saw an official coming, were still not afraid, "Our young master is also an official. We are not afraid of you. Our young master is drunk now. I will argue with you when he sobers up." "
Zhang Li was very curious at this moment, their young master? where?
The only people seen at the scene were these two mighty men and a little girl next to them.
But just when Zhang Li was wondering, the two big men stepped aside, allowing him to see Xu Yunyan sitting on the chair behind them.
With a "clang" sound, the knife in Zhang Li's hand fell to the ground.
This moment made Henry Zhang a little surprised, "What's wrong with the second brother?"
Magistrate Zhao was also very curious, "Zhang Li, did you really get this brigade commander through military exploits? Didn't you buy it with money?"
Why did you just go in with a knife and throw the knife away when you saw these two men who looked like gangsters? "
But just when Magistrate Zhao and Zhang Xuan were confused, and Cui Jin was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, Zhang Li fell to his knees with a plop while everyone was stunned.
"Second brother?"
"Huh? Second young master?"
"Zhang Li!"
Seeing Zhang Li kneeling down, everyone was very different and expressed different emotions. Zhang Li said tremblingly.
"Little... little... Zhang Li, the brigade commander of Langya Zhechong Mansion, has met Governor Xu."
Zhang Ligang shouted this sentence, and everyone thought they heard it wrong.
"What did he just say? Governor? Did I hear wrongly?"
Just when everyone was thinking this, Zhang Li continued to say, "The boy bumped into Governor Xu, and I asked the Governor to give him a lot of advice. Don't be like this boy."
Zhang Li kept buttoning his head as he spoke.
Seeing that his second brother, who came from the North to participate in the North War, knew the man in front of him and named him as the governor, Henry Zhang looked at Cui Jin in shock.
"My father-in-law, this is a high official who is worthy of the heavens."
Although Cui Jin didn't know what the rank of the governor was, he was somewhat knowledgeable. He knew that these governors would not take a small county magistrate seriously at all, let alone that they were several levels lower than the county magistrate. He is just a ninth-grade county captain.
After thinking about this clearly, Cui Jin also knelt down with a plop, "Commander, please have mercy on me. I don't know you are the governor, and you still plot against the governor. Please forgive me, governor!"
Seeing that the man in front of me was really an official, he was recognized, but this identity was a bit scary.
Governor? This is a serious third-grade official!
Magistrate Zhao was a little trembling with fright, but he quickly came to his senses.
Did this family team up to deceive themselves?
Then he took a step forward, "Zhang Li, you have to see clearly. Does our country have such a young governor? Why haven't I heard of this?"
Don't be deceived by his appearance. How can this person look like a governor?
I'm still a little skeptical when this little boy with no hair on his head says he's a county captain. Do you dare to say he's a governor? "
Zhang Li, who originally wanted to get Xu Yunyan to forgive him here, felt happy when he heard what County Magistrate Zhao said.
"I was just about to worry about showing off in front of the governor, and you sent it to me. Okay, very good!"
Hearing what County Magistrate Zhao said, Zhang Li stood up directly, "Bold, Governor Xu is a general of His Royal Highness King Qi. Don't you want to live? Dare you doubt Governor Xu? Do you know Governor Xu's military exploits in the North?" How dare you doubt Governor Xu?"
Zhang Li said this, which can be regarded as calming the county magistrate.
"Is this a general of His Highness King Qi? But he is so young."
Magistrate Zhao was still talking stiffly here, but this man revealed that he was actually a general under King Qi, which made Xu Yunyan seem to remember where he had seen this man.
During this period of time, I also sobered up a little, and finally remembered a face that once intercepted me when I left the camp. If it wasn't the face that Xue Wanche arranged to watch me, who was it?
"I didn't expect that he would be promoted to a level after this battle and become a brigade commander. It's not surprising that he knows his identity. He has been the governor himself and is also a member of His Royal Highness King Qi."
Just as Xu Yunyan said this with emotion, he heard Zhang Li in front of him speaking.
"Bold! Is it true that Governor Xu cannot be the governor at such a young age?
Governor Xu truly led less than 10,000 soldiers to defeat 100,000 Turkic cavalry, and even besieged and killed Liu Heita!
What else do you want to say? Do you want me to talk about Governor Xu’s achievements and let you see if he can be the Governor? "
