More than ten days later, Yongan.

The current Yong'an County Sheriff is still Li Minggui. Although Xiao Yuan made some adjustments to the Shuzhong County Sheriff before, Yong'an remained unchanged.

At this time, Li Minggui had learned from internal news in the officialdom that Xiao Yuan would pass through Yong'an the next day.

After hearing the news, Li Minggui immediately panicked.

You know, there is no difference between Xiao Yuan and the king now. His car will pass through Yong'an. By then, if he sees anything unpleasant or something else in Yong'an, then Li Minggui's career may be in danger. That's it.

How can the latter not be nervous?

Therefore, he immediately summoned the chief of the Yong'an Wuwei Prefecture and said to him: "My Lord, the car is about to pass through Yong'an. You go down immediately, deploy manpower, and clean up everything. Especially the main streets, they must be clean and tidy."

The Lord's patrol is not a trivial matter for the local area. The chief of the Wuwei Mansion also looked serious and immediately said: "I understand your humble position! Please rest assured, sir!"

"Go quickly!" Li Minggui waved his hand urgingly.

The latter accepted the order, and after going down, he immediately began to deploy manpower and carried out large-scale rectification of the entire city.

For a time, soldiers took to the streets. Every street was filled with officers and soldiers wearing Wuweifu armor. They were divided into several small teams and were commanded by various officers.

"Put it away! Put it away quickly!"

"Damn it, did you hear that! Put it away!"

An officer yelled angrily, and a street vendor was so frightened that he weakly said: "Master, Master, this is a legitimate business..."

"Damn! You're blocking the road! If you don't put it away, I'll put you in jail!"

"Yes, yes... the villain will collect it right away..."

Faced with large numbers of soldiers, how could the common people dare to say a word?

Riots were going on all over the streets, and there were even officers with swords hanging on their waists, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, and shouting:

"Why are you still standing there!? Deer-headed rat-eyed! It's not a good thing at first glance! Move faster!"

For a time, the whole city was in chaos, and the people were silent. Under the strong cleaning, in one day, the entire Yong'an was purged and took on a new look. There was no longer the bustle of people, people going to the market, and noisy scenes everywhere in the streets. It was clean and tidy.

The next morning, Li Minggui panicked and personally led the county officials out of the city, preparing to welcome Xiao Yuan's car.

But he waited and waited until noon, but there was still no sign of Xiao Yuan.

Because Xiao Yuan was already in Yong'an City at this time.

There were not many people around him, only Xu Hu and Liang Yuan. All three of them were dressed in casual clothes. Xiao Yuan was dressed in white brocade clothes with a hosta in his hair. He looked like a rich man who was out for fun. The other two looked like His entourage.

"Well, Yong'an deserves to be called a big city. The streets are wide enough." When he first entered the city, Xiao Yuan strolled forward and nodded.

But soon, his brows gradually started to frown, and the frown became deeper and deeper, because after walking for a long time, he didn't see a stall owner selling food, nor did he see the bustle of people, let alone the busy traffic.

You know, this is a county town, the capital of a county. The streets are extremely empty. Although they are clean and tidy, Xiao Yuan feels awkward.

This is too weird and too orderly. There is no lively street market or bustling crowds.

It's like he was clearing the way for someone specifically.

After frowning, Xiao Yuan thought for a moment and understood. Then, without saying anything, he went directly to the Sheriff's Mansion.

At this time, Li Minggui was still waiting for Xiao Yuan outside the city!

In front of the gate of the county mansion, there were naturally guards guarding the left and right sides. After Xiao Yuan and the others arrived, one of the guards had already put his sword on his hand and shouted in a loud voice before they came closer:

"Stop! This is an important place in the county, and no one is allowed to enter!"

"Bold!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hu pointed his finger and shouted.

"Huh?" Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly to stop him. There was nothing wrong with the guard, it was his duty. Naturally, he would not care about it. Instead, he turned slightly sideways, stretched out his hand towards Xu Hu and said, "Give me your military card." I."

"Yes!" Xu Hu responded quickly, then took out his military badge and handed it to Xiao Yuan.

The latter took it, took two steps forward, smiled at the guard and said, "Don't be nervous, little brother. Do you recognize this military card?"

As he spoke, he also handed over the general card.

When the guard heard this, he first glanced at Xiao Yuan doubtfully, and then subconsciously took it. After lowering his head to look at it, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Tiger...General Tiger Guard..." He stammered. When he raised his head again, he looked at Xiao Yuan and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Because Qin and Shu are now unified, the military and political affairs have long been unified. No matter how stupid the guards are, they can still recognize the military cards. Although Xu Hu has not yet become famous in the world, his reputation in Qin is unquestionable.

Xiao Yuan looked like this, pointed at Xu Hu with a smile and said: "He is the General of the Tiger Guard, I am Xiao Yuan."

"What... what!? Lord... Lord!?" the guard said in shock. He had never seen the Lord, so how could he not know his name.

In Qin, everyone knows that General Tiger Guard is the lord's bodyguard. Since he is guarding the young man in brocade clothes in front of him today, who else could he be if he is not the lord!

"Ah!?" After being stunned, the guard also reacted, and immediately knelt down on one knee, handed back the military card with both hands and said: "I am blind and did not know that the lord was coming. Please forgive me, lord!"

"Hey? What are you doing? There's no need to be polite. Get up quickly." Xiao Yuan took the military card and threw it to Xu Hu, and then led the two of them into the county governor's house.

At this time, the captain of the guard who heard the news hurried over and began to follow Xiao Yuan to guide him.

"Where is the study?"

"My lord, please come this way." The captain of the guard quickly bent down and stretched out his hand.

"Where is Mr. Li Ming?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

"Master Li, you should be waiting for your lord outside the city." The guard returned.

"Go and call him back." Xiao Yuan said as he walked.

"promise!"

Not long after, Xiao Yuan was led to the study. After arriving here, Xu Hu and Liang Yuan started to guard the door on the left and right. Xiao Yuan walked in and naturally went to sit where Li Minggui usually worked. Go down, and then start casually looking through the bamboo slips of official documents on the desk.

The official documents all record Yongan political affairs, and there are also reports from some county magistrates.

Xiao Yuan looked at it more seriously. Unknowingly, time passed quietly, and Li Minggui, who received the news, hurriedly ran back to the county governor's mansion.

As soon as he arrived here, he saw Xu Hu and Liang Yuan, and was shocked.

As Xiao Yuan's guard, Li Minggui had naturally seen Xu Hu many times. At this time, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked cautiously: "General Xu, where is my lord... my lord?"

"I'm waiting for Mr. Li inside." Xu Hu replied.

"Ah!? Yes, yes."

Li Minggui swallowed, then adjusted his mentality, not forgetting to tidy up his official uniform, and then stepped in.
