Xinyang, as a transportation hub connecting Dingzhou and Fuzhou, is now several times more prosperous than back then, when Daoming made a county order here, it will be operated vigorously, and Li Qing is also interested in the transfer of power in Dingzhou, in a chaotic situation, still let the local economy and people's livelihood politics are orderly, which is what is more important to its green eyes, followed by the smooth sailing of Daoming in the official career, with Li Qing step by step ascending, Luo Daoming is also step by step, Now he is one of the three major elders in Dingzhou, not to mention the power of the world, but in Li Qing's ruling area, he can be regarded as a person who stomps his feet and trembles.

As Xiao Yuanshan's old subordinates, except for Lu Dalin, who defected and directly let Li Qing take the position, so he has always been reused, as a civil official, there is only such an outlier as Li Daoming, and most of the others are in place or at the same level, and it is rare to have a chance to be promoted.

This time, he accompanied Li Qing to Hailing, Fuzhou to greet everyone on Taiwan Island, returned to Xinyang, and felt that he had returned to his hometown, pointed to a few big trees on the border of Xinyang, and smiled at Li Qingdao: "Lord, when you returned to Dingzhou from Luoyang, your subordinates greeted you here, and at that time, I was really uneasy in my heart!" But as soon as I saw you, my lord, I knew that you were the Lord I had been looking forward to all my life! After so many years, your affairs are thriving, and Dao Ming I, I can follow my lord to do a great career, and this life is in vain! ”

Li Qing laughed, "I still remember that you didn't hide in the shade of a tree, but stood in an official robe under the scorching sun, sweaty and heavy, but you were embarrassed!" ”

Daoming smiled, "At that time, the future was unpredictable, Daoming didn't know anything about Gong An, so I was worried that as soon as you saw me, he took off my official uniform and rushed back to my hometown, how could I not be frightened, not to mention sweating heavy clothes, even bloody heavy clothes have to stand under the scorching sun!" ”

Everyone laughed when he said this, and he seemed to be degrading his identity and saying that he was a person who regarded his official position as extremely important, but from another aspect, it was to praise Li Qing for using talents in an eclectic manner, and for being able to promote the enemy's old department to such an important person now, which is the highest level of sycophancy...... It's not a little bit of everything.

Li Qing laughed loudly and pointed to the trees in the distance...... "Look, the current Xinyang Zhixian has also brought people to greet you, but the sun is not very strong today, and it doesn't show your embarrassment that day, otherwise you can let Li Wen and them see what you looked like back then!" ”

Everyone was smiling, and the current magistrate of Xinyang over there had already brought someone to greet him.

"Lord, the current Xinyang magistrate is called Bao Shuwen!" Xiao Daoming said softly, he knew that it was impossible for Li Qing to remember the name of this magistrate, so he reminded him in a low voice, don't underestimate this point, which reflects the extreme carefulness of Li Daoming, you know, when Li Qing meets these lower-level officials, if he can blurt out the name of this person, it will definitely make them grateful and work harder, because in their opinion, he is Jane in the emperor's heart. Even if Li Qing is not an emperor now, in the area ruled by Dingzhou, Li Qing is no different from the emperor.

"Uncle Wen has worked hard." Without waiting for Uncle Gu to speak, Li Qing immediately smiled and spoke first.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Li Qing shouting his name so cordially, Uncle Bao couldn't help himself with excitement, his face flushed with excitement, it was the person who followed him, hearing that the handsome could blurt out the name of the county order, his face showed shock, looking at the back of the county order, there was immediately a lot of respect in his eyes.

"I've seen the lord!" When Uncle Bao heard the words, he was also startled, why was his voice so loud.

"The lord has been tired of saddle horses all the way, and the lower official has prepared some wine and food in the village in front, please take a short rest before leaving, and you can arrive at Xinyang City tonight!"

As soon as he heard that the other party had actually prepared wine and food, Li Qing's brows couldn't help frowning, Luo Daoming saw that something bad was going to happen, turned over and dismounted, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Uncle Wen, what are you doing, don't you know if the handsome man doesn't like this set the most?" ”

Uncle Bao looked at Li Qing's uncertain face, and hurriedly explained: "Lord, it's not that Uncle Wen has this intention, but the fathers and villagers in the village in front of me know that I have come here to greet the lord, and they forced the lower officials to entertain the lord, saying that the blessings of the lord over the years, the days are better than before, and the lower officials went to see it specially, and it was not a luxury, they were all melons and fruits grown by the villagers, self-raised poultry, wild fish caught in the stream, etc., the lower officials thought that this was the support of the fathers and villagers for the lord. If the refusal would inevitably hurt the hearts of the people, they promised to invite the lord on their behalf! ”

As soon as he heard this, he turned his head to look at Li Qing, Li Qing nodded, "Since that's the case, let's go and bother, as Uncle Wen said, the hearts of the villagers are not good to be rebellious!" ”

Uncle Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately led the way in front, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was startled when he saw the formation, although he had always known that Xinyang was prosperous, but he didn't expect that the village that Uncle Bao said was so big...... Looking along the road at the entrance of the village, I didn't see the head at a glance, along the road, the houses on both sides were full of people kneeling in the dark, and without exception, there was a table at the door of each house, and it was really a home-grown thing, but the problem was that so many seats called Li Qing's personal guards up, and it was enough to eat!

"Uncle Wen, what's going on?" Li Qing stretched out his hand to summon Uncle Bao, and asked in a low voice, isn't it embarrassing for him to engage in such a thing?

"My lord, the villagers here insist on bringing their own table of noodles, and you will taste one at each table. Well, these people are also looking forward to the big handsome taste of their harvest! This is a blessing that they can only cultivate in eight lifetimes! Uncle Jing said.

"I've seen the handsome, the handsome Jin'an!"

"Handsome and auspicious!"

I don't know who took the lead and shouted, and the whole village immediately responded in unison. Seeing so many fresh faces, it made Li Wen and the others nervous, and pressed the waist knife in their hands, and followed closely by Li Qing's side, and some of the guards had already dispersed to the village to inspect.

Li Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, this village is afraid that there are not more than 100 households, even if you only taste one chopstick at a table, you have to support yourself, but as Uncle Bao said, the heart of the fist, this is the will of the people, even if you hold it, you have to eat it, and I glanced at Uncle Bao, this kid, I want me to look good!

"Folks, Li Qing thanks a lot of folks!" Li Qing clenched his fists and waved at the people in the village, "Fathers and fellow villagers, please get up!" ”

Seeing that all the people in the village got up, Li Qing stepped forward and walked to the first one, an eighty-year-old farmer who had already become an eighty-year-old farmer, who seemed to be the head of this family, held a pair of chopsticks in both hands and offered them, took the chopsticks, Li Qing took a coercion, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and his spirit was lifted, and the taste was really good.

In fact, it's not that the family's craftsmanship is good, but that Li Qing's status is getting higher and higher, and he naturally can't get tired of eating at ordinary times, and he eats a lot of food.

When Li Qing walked to the second house, the first family immediately put Li Qing's used chopsticks into a brocade box that had been prepared for a long time, and it seemed that it was going to be kept forever.

With this toss, when Li Qing arrived in Xinxian County, it was already nightfall, when Uncle Bao cautiously said that the county had prepared dinner, Li Qing immediately shook his head, "I said Uncle Wen, do you think I am a wine bag and rice bag, today I was broken, and now my stomach is still in a panic, forget it, we will rest in the post house for one night, and we will rush to Hailing early tomorrow morning." ”

When Uncle Bao heard this, there was a sense of blame in it, and he couldn't help but look at Daoming with anxiety, and Daoming waved his hand at him, "Bao County Order, you go down first!" Tomorrow, I will accompany the marshal to Hailing, and report the situation in Xinyang to the marshal on the way, and let the lord rest today! ”

Uncle Bao went down happily when he heard this.

Li Qing turned his head and smiled at Gu Daoming, "Daoming, this Bao County Order has a good relationship with you?" You take good care of him, huh? ”

Qi Daoming said with a smile: "The lord has no rules, this Uncle Cannon is one of my former staff, who is down-to-earth and quite capable. ”

Li Qing laughed, "You are virtuous and don't avoid relatives, but this Uncle Bao seems to be really okay, this way, Xinyang is really good governance, since you have called him, then let him tell me about Xinyang's current situation on the road tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, Li Kang had already brought the footwashing water, and he was about to leave, but Li Qing stopped him, "Wait a minute, I'll burn my feet, you sit aside and tell me about it, the etiquette of meeting that King Zhou tomorrow, people are old brand emperors, we can't show cowardice!" ”

Qi Daoming smiled: "He is not an emperor now, according to the agreement, lord, you have to crown him as Zhou Hou." ”

Li Qing laughed.

The two discussed this at midnight, and after Li Qing saw King Zhou, what etiquette should have corresponded, and Dingzhou also took a lot of thought...... It's not good if it's too high, it's not good if it's too low, and a large group of people discussed it for a few days before they decided on a plan. Li Qing walked to Xinyang, feeling a little unsure, for fear that he would make a mistake, so he wanted to review it with Daoming again.

Didn't eat dinner, but at this time I was a little hungry, Li Dang got some supper, the two talked while drinking, but they chatted energetically, and they were drinking to the end, chatting happily, and suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the post house.

"Someone, stop, dismount!" There was the sound of the guards shouting outside.

Then he exclaimed, "General Tie, why are you?" ”

Li Qing and Li Daoming were startled, glanced at each other, and stood up at the same time, why did the Iron Leopard come so late, what happened to Dingzhou?

The door was pushed open, and the iron leopard broke in with a frightened face, and when he saw the iron leopard's expression, Li Qing's heart sank, the iron leopard had gone through several battles, and had already developed the courage of Mount Tai to collapse in front of him without changing color, what made him so frightened.

"Marshal, something is wrong, Lord Lu, General Yang sent me to send an urgent secret letter." In a panic, Iron Leopard even forgot to give a gift, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Li Qing.

Who could have guessed what was going on? I'll kowtow to you, gunner, wahaha, a little smug!
