strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 53 [How to deal with the old soldier's sudden change]

The momentum is not good, you have to slip.

Zhang Jingxu was quick-witted, and immediately threw his hands together, saying goodbye decisively: "My lord, Mrs. Jingshu, Zhang Mou just took over as head arrester not long ago, and there are a lot of miscellaneous tasks that have not been clarified in time. I have to go over and watch the cleaning of the public house myself..."

"There is also a weird case in the city. Zhang is going to consult some books to find out."

"In addition, there are rewards for the yamen servants. It is said that they should receive them after finishing the Sunjiazhuang case. They are all from poor families, and they work hard with me to earn more money to support their families and feed their parents."

"So the matter of rewarding money is not a trivial matter. As a headhunter, Zhang must remember them. Serving as a soldier eats food, and serving as a servant receives rewards. This has been a matter of course since ancient times. If it is delayed for too long, people will be left in the cold."

"If people's hearts are left in the cold, it will be difficult to let them work next time."

Although these words were an excuse to say goodbye, but what Zhang Jingxu said was impeccable.

He even added a special sentence at the end, pretending to smile shyly, and said: "To be honest, even Zhang himself is looking forward to this reward. For so many years, I have been muddled, stupid, and thanks to the village The common people took care of it, and I just had a bite to eat. Although I have set foot on the road of cultivation now, one must not be unconscionable..."

"I'll take a bounty back and buy some food and clothing for the elders in the village, as well as those boys and dolls who call me uncle, and I'll also buy some snacks to satisfy their hunger..."

"However, the matter of receiving the reward money is in charge of the county magistrate. As a rule, the detailed process of handling the case must be reported. The yamen servants may not be able to explain it clearly, so Zhang has to go there in person."

"Ugh……"

"Such trifles waste energy, but it's impossible not to do them. It's inconvenient for Zhang to stay here."

Having said this, Zhang Jingxu clasped his hands again, and said goodbye without hesitation: "Lord County Lord, sister Jingshu, let's chat when we have time, Zhang must go to work first."

He turned around quickly and walked away with his feet up.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to take care of the little bell, and stroked the little girl's head lightly, and praised: "What a beautiful girl, when I turn around, uncle will buy you candied fruit..."

The words were beautiful, but the person disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Leaving Wu Zhongyun, the county magistrate was stunned, and Zhang Butou seemed abnormal today.

Yun Jingshu looked at Zhang Jingxu's hurried back with a half-smile.

She spoke in a leisurely tone, as if she was praising her, and said: "This Catcher Zhang is really smart, he can even give excuses to say goodbye. He obviously wanted to get away, and he said it in a high-sounding way, puff..."

The smile is like a flower, blooming brightly.

Turning his head with a smile, he looked at County Magistrate Yun and said, "You are also very good, and work hard in the future. Since coming to this small county to be an official has become an established thing, then I will not pursue the means of obtaining an official position. "

"And those absurd things you did in the capital, such as secretly going to a brothel to hang out and getting drunk, fighting with others, all kinds of nonsense..."

"These past things, I will treat you as a young man, and I have the right to forgive you once, and I will not pursue them any more."

"I only hope that you can make more achievements, and don't want to embarrass Zhennan Wangshu."

"Little cousin, do you remember?"

County magistrate Yun was clearly in a daze.

The guy was stunned for quite a while, and suddenly great curiosity arose in his heart.

"It's not right, it's not right!"

This guy has a weird face, his eyeballs are rolling around.

"The eldest princess smiles so gently, why does she smile so gently?"

"But in the entire royal family, who doesn't know that the eldest princess is strict, especially for the royal children of various families, she is merciless in discipline."

"I have always claimed to be ruthless and selfless, and the elders are ruthless even when they beg for mercy..."

"I originally thought that I might not be able to please you today. Since His Highness has arrived in Yicheng in person, he will definitely beat me up hard."

"However, looking at the current situation, Your Highness is in a very good mood. Not only did she not punish me, but she also smiled gently at me?"

"What's going on..."

"It's not right, it's very wrong."

County magistrate Yun was full of suspicion, and felt puzzled, but if he asked the reason, he would not dare to give this kid ten guts.

On the contrary, regardless of his rough temper, this guy actually has a rare cleverness. He didn't ask Yun Jingshu why, but asked something else in a low voice, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, are you here for Yicheng? Something special?"

The fellow hesitated for a while, and finally made a guess, saying: "Actually, we all know that you have been traveling around for so many years, and what you did was only for one thing. Those veterans who fought back then were always the ones you paid the most attention to." ..."

"In view of this, my younger brother is thinking, could it be that the purpose of your coming to Yicheng is also because you noticed something went wrong here, right?"

As expected of a son of the royal family, even hob meat is shrewd.

After some guessing by this fellow, Yun Jingshu nodded.

The princess's tone was obviously serious, and she said in a deep voice: "You guessed right, it is indeed the reason. In the battle of the ghost tide in the forbidden area, the imperial court conscripted 30 soldiers in Dongmeng County. In the county, every family goes to the battlefield."

"The battle between humans and ghosts is a battle for the survival of the race. The battle is so intense and the sacrifices are so tragic."

"Those who died on the spot were actually a kind of relief. On the contrary, those who came back alive had a miserable evening..."

"As mortals, they fought against the fierce ghosts. They burned their lives without hesitation back then. Although they caused severe burns to the fierce ghosts, they forgot about the enemy and were brave and fearless."

"But it was a ghost wave at the level of a forbidden area. How can a person with exhausted life fire retreat completely?"

"Even priests with cultivation bases will be harassed in the ghost tide, not to mention ordinary soldiers, almost all of them are contaminated with weirdness."

When Yun Jingshu said this, he sighed slightly, and said: "Some people are slightly infected with weirdness, so the changes in their later years can still be suppressed. After all, they are soldiers with military merits, and they have some meager merits in fighting ghosts. With that meager merit, I can barely protect myself..."

"But there are some other soldiers, especially the ones who charged at the front. In order to protect the young child soldiers, they let themselves face the strongest tide of ghosts. In the boundless weirdness, they are contaminated with the most evil."

It is difficult for non-royal family or the family of the gods to know about such top-secret matters in the past. It is just that County Magistrate Yun is a direct descendant of the royal family, so he naturally knows about secret matters.

The fellow nodded subconsciously, only feeling a layer of gloom in his heart, and couldn't help but said: "Hearing what you said, I already understand in my heart, I am afraid that some old soldiers in my Yicheng County have already arrived I can't suppress the weirdness. So, here you are."

He raised his head and asked solemnly, "What are you going to do, Your Highness?"
