According to the Tang system, the number of households in Dengzhou exceeded 40,000, which was Shangzhou. The history of Dengzhou Thorn is the history of Shangzhou Thorn, and the official position is from the third grade. This grade is much higher than the fourth grade of Zhongzhou Thorn History and the fourth grade of the six servants of the capital. From the third grade, this is the Shangguan grade, you can take purple, and wear goldfish bags.

The current Dengzhou Thorn Shi Cui Yunqing, born in the Cui clan of the Qinghe family. Doctor Chaosan and Zhu Guo have successively served as Huang, Yue, Cao, and Pei four prefecture assassins, Xiantong 14 years, that is, this year just transferred to Dengzhou assassin history. Shandong Gaomen clan Qinghe Cui clan children, Jinshi background. has been up and down in the sea all his life, which can be described as an old officialdom.

He has only been in Dengzhou for half a year, and he has not sorted out the top and bottom, and he feels that he is restrained everywhere. The paper report of Wang Zhong and others was sent, but it made his eyes light up and he thought of a good plan.

Cui Yunqing saw Li Jing and the others at the front from a distance, and looked carefully. With an experienced eye, he found that he was originally worried that Li Jing and the others were just a group of mud legs who had just washed their feet and came ashore, and they were afraid of intimidating them by making such a big scene. But now it seems that these guys not only don't look half nervous and restrained, but seem to enjoy the scene in front of them very much, and they can't help nodding slightly.

Cui Yunqing immediately bowed his hand to Wang Chong, Li Jing and others: "My Dengzhou Unity Camp warriors returned victoriously, and the old man greeted him too late!" ”

Seeing that the assassin was so polite, how could Li Jing and the others dare to sit on the horse and accept the salute, and hurriedly rolled the saddle and fell off the horse. Although Li Jing and the others don't know much about gifts, they don't panic at this time, anyway, Wang Chong and Zhang Hong can learn from each other.

After Wang Chong and Zhang Hong dismounted, they immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed, which was the highest etiquette in the army. Li Jing immediately glanced at the little stone, and they all started to follow suit. Wang Chong and Li Jing are all united soldiers, and Cui Yunqing, as a assassin, also serves as the training envoy of the Dengzhou regiment. It can be said that Cui Yunqing is the top direct boss of Li Jing and others, and they will be mixed with Cui Yunqing in the future.

"We are all under the account of Cui Envoy, and it is our duty to kill the enemy bravely. I waited for the pirates to encounter on the way, but fortunately I did not lose my life and returned victorious. In the first battle of Chishan, all the thieves in the West Fire Village were annihilated, and the head of the thief, the monkey cheek face, and the scar face were also beheaded under the lowly knife. However, after the victory, he suddenly encountered more than 100 pirates from the 'Zhendonghai' department. We fought with them, were outnumbered, and finally had to fight their way out of the encirclement, and when we broke through, one was killed and seven were wounded. failed to bring back the head of the thief Kou in Xihuo Village, and the humble rank was extremely ashamed, and asked Cui Yuanjun to punish him! "It was Li Jing who replied, and it was not Li Jing's turn to reply like this, and it should be answered by Wang Chong or Zhang Hong. However, the two of them got Li Jing's great cheap benefits, so they also thought about Li Jing wholeheartedly, and like this expected reply, the two gave Li Jing the opportunity to deepen his impression in Shangguan's heart.

Sure enough, Li Jing replied, dripping, polite and courteous. It not only told the truth of the matter, but also highlighted their fighting bravery, and also shirked the irresistibility of responsibility. And in and out of the words, there is also respect and compliment for Cui Yunqing everywhere.

These words really worked, Cui Yunqing raised her eyelids in some surprise and looked at Li Jing carefully. He saw the two flags behind Li Jing, and said with a smile: "Presumably this warrior is the archer Xiao Li Guangyong Saburo Li Jiyu, I know you, in the battle of Chishan, you turned the tide." One person shot and killed four thieves, and it is said that when the most Lu encountered Zhen Donghai, it was all up to you to shoot back the enemy to cover everyone's success in breaking through, right? ”

Li Jing cautiously replied: "My lord has won the award, but in fact, although he is lowly and shoots, he doesn't dare to say that he shoots." This time, he was able to return victorious, thanks to Captain Wang's courage and courage to fight, his good command, and his advice and advice when Zhang Zuo was in Jian Jian to stabilize the morale of the army, as well as other united soldiers and brothers to fight hard. What the lowly did was actually just very ordinary. Although he killed several thieves, he was actually assisted by his brother's assist. ”

"Assists?"

Li Jing's expression froze, and he explained with a smile: "Although those few words about the bandits died at the hands of lowly hands, they were actually due to the help of other brothers. Therefore, if you really talk about it, you dare not take full credit! ”

Cui Yunqing stroked her beard and nodded, and her impression of Li Jing rose to a favorable level. He also saw that Li Jing was young, but he had an extraordinary appearance, and what was even more rare was that he not only shot a good arrow, but also spoke so measuredly. In front of a third-grade member like him, Li Jing, a villager of the Tutuan villager, was not half timid. It is even more difficult to speak clearly and without the slightest hint of greed.

"This official sees that you talk and talk, but you are not like ordinary country people, you have read books, are you a child of an official family?"

Hearing Cui Yunqing ask like this, Li Jing was also a little surprised. Cui Yunqing came to greet them in person, obviously having the element of showmanship. It's a show, and a few nice words should be over. But why did Cui Yunqing ask more and more topics? Could it be that he valued him with just a few words and developed a heart of love for talent?

"Back to Cui Yuanjun's words, I have indeed read since childhood, "Book of Songs", "Poems", "Mao's Poetry Biography", "Five Classics of Justice", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn", "Book of Music", "Historical Records", "Analects", "Mencius", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Warring States Policy", "Wu Zi", "Sima Law", "Wei Xuanzi", "Liutao", "Three Strategies", "Li Weigong Asks Right", "Tao Te Ching" and other books have been read. I've read a lot of scriptures, histories, and subsets, but I'm humble and stupid, and many places know it but don't know why. ”

"Oh, since you have been studying since you were a child, why did you learn such a good martial art?" Hearing that Li Jing had really not only read books, but also could name so many titles, Cui Yunqing was also a little surprised.

When he was seven years old, his father was killed in Qiu Fu's rebellion when he was a county clerk in Tancheng, and he was raised by his widowed mother since then. When he was sixteen years old, his eldest brother, who was only twenty-one years old, died in Pang Xun's rebels four years ago while transporting grain and grass to Xuzhou. A few months ago, one of the youngest brothers, who was helping his neighbors on the beach to collect seaweed, was mistaken for a smuggler of salt, and his brother was killed on the spot. That year, the eldest brother died, and he had just obtained the qualification of the township tribute and was preparing to enter the imperial examination in Beijing, and then stayed at home to support the family business with the second brother. Usually farming, practicing martial arts and arrows with his brother in his spare time, hunting in the mountains, the countrymen are already strong, and their ancestors have been Pinglu Military Academy for generations, so they have practiced martial arts. ”

Regarding these words, Li Jing thought about it quickly in his heart for a long time before he figured out what to say. The opportunity is rare, Cui Yunqing is not only a state assassin, but also a regimental training envoy. If he can really gain his favor, as long as Cui Yunqing says a word, then Li Jing will be able to struggle for ten or twenty years less.

The opportunity is rare, although this is inevitably a bit speculative, but after all, Li Jing came from the next generation, and he knew that the opportunity was seized by himself, so he let the opportunity miss it, which was what he regretted the most. However, how to recommend yourself in front of Cui Yunqing, you must not only show your abilities and advantages, but also speak decently, and you can't leave an impatient impression on the other party.

Li Jing knew that Cui Yunqing was a jinshi, so he deliberately told him that he had studied and obtained the qualification for the imperial examination, in order to impress him from the aspect of being a scholar at the same time. And when it comes to his miserable family background, it is inevitably a bit sympathetic. The most Lu said lightly that Li Jiazu was in the Pinglu Military Academy, which was also a matter of knowing that the children of high-ranking families such as Cui Yunqing looked down on ordinary people, so they mentioned Li Jiazu's status as an official eunuch.

Sure enough, Cui Yunqing originally only knew that Li Jing was a peasant in the countryside who should be Ding, but when she saw Li Jing herself at this time, she felt that this person was good. Listening to him talk about his identity, he couldn't help but have a good impression of Li Jing when he was in power.

If you have read a book, and you have also obtained the status of a township tribute, that is, you can read well. 's father used to be a county clerk, and his ancestors were Pinglu Military Academy for several generations, that is, his ancestors were also the home of eunuchs. Li Jing has read books, is quite talented, and has extraordinary martial arts, and can be literate and martial, this is really a good young man.

"Well, you can be regarded as a great achievement this time, I wonder if you have any thoughts or expectations? Is it fame, money, or land? ”

"Back to Cui Yuanjun, the Li family has served the court for generations, and he does not seek fame, wealth or land, but he asks Liu Yuanjun to give him a chance, a chance to serve His Majesty, the court, and Liu Yuanjun!"

When Cui Yunqing asked Li Jing what he hoped for, she kept trying to pay attention to him, observing the expression on his face and observing his eyes.

He clearly saw that Li Jing's eyes were clear and firm when he answered, and his tone was calm and resolute. It's not a lie, he really thinks so. Cui Yunqing felt that she had seen it correctly, and she saw Li Jing clearly, and the corners of her mouth finally showed a smile upturned!
