Chapter 57
A series of prompts made Zhang Tie a little confused, "Why is the system suddenly upgraded? Someone in the army has become an official? Could it be?"

Zhang Tie was thoughtful, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but it scared Zhang Long beside him, because Zhang Tie was looking at him.

Just when the time was approaching three quarters to noon, the gate of the inner city slowly opened again. Zhang Shun and other candidates walked out of it. Everyone who had been waiting on the side came forward one after another, looking for their brothers.

Zhang Tie and the others came in front of Zhang Shun and the others, Luo Long asked impatiently: "How is it, have you passed?"

Luo Fei nodded, "The three of us are Jinshi, and Brother Zhang has become the number one scholar this time."

Zhang Tie laughed out loud, as if he was the champion. Zhang Shun said calmly, "The gold content of this time's champion is actually not high. The candidates are only those who have just passed the provincial examination, unlike the official palace examination. They are all masters who have passed the test."

Everyone nodded, this time the number one scholar did not ride a horse, put on red clothes, and parade around the city like the usual number one scholar, and no one came to snatch the golden tortoise son-in-law, which shows that the imperial court and the people do not value this kind of number one scholar .

Having said that, Zhang Tie still smiled happily and said, "It doesn't matter what the gold content is or not, anyway, you are the champion now, go home and say goodbye to your parents."

Regarding this, Zhang Shun also smiled, and was full of anticipation for returning home, thinking of his lovely little sister at home.

They all happily returned to the "High School" inn, chatting and laughing along the way, Liu Yi also told what he saw and heard in the palace, and Zhang Shun at the side also said a few words from time to time, Only Luo Fei remained silent, and everyone knew his character, so they didn't care.

However, the three of Zhang Shun never mentioned the matter of being exposed to the sun after the palace examination. Some things cannot be said casually.

Everyone quickly returned to the "High School" inn, called the waiter, and ordered a table of good wine and food.

After drinking a glass of Tujia wine, Zhang Tie breathed out comfortably, "You two are officials who govern the same place now, and you will have to support and improve each other in the future."

"It should be, it should be, brother Zhang Shun is my immediate boss now, and he will have to call Mr. Zhang when we meet in the future, how dare he refuse, haha." Liu Yi also took a sip of wine, jokingly, and then spoke Ask Zhang Tie.

"But are you two really going back today? Don't you stay in Beicheng for a few more days?"

Zhang Tie picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and said whiningly, "I can't help it. It's been more than a month since I went out. I'm very homesick. Now I can't wait to be at home immediately." , and you have to go to Biancheng County to take office within two months."

He gestured with his hands in the sky, "The border town is far away from here. It takes about twenty days to travel. If we don't go home now, we will have no time to stay at home."

Facing Zhang Tie's answer, Liu Yi lowered his head and fell into deep thought for a moment, as if he had made some decision, "Since this is the case, I have been away from home for so long, Zhang Long, let's go home too. Along the way."

Zhang Long, who was eating, continued to eat without raising his head. It seemed that he was starving after waiting outside for a while, but he didn't dare to look up at Zhang Tie.

"All under the young master's arrangement."

"Since you are all going back, then start as soon as possible, you should have time to reach a village and rest."

But Luo Long who was on the side said, Luo Long himself is from the vicinity of Beicheng, and he was planning to buy a house in Beicheng. Now that his younger brother is here, he can just buy the house.

Everyone felt that what Luo Long said was reasonable, and they ate much faster.

Several people packed their luggage and led four rough horses, two of which belonged to Liu Yi and Zhang Long, and the last two were bought by Zhang Tituo and Luo Long.

Now when I go home, there are people stopping by, but it's hard to summon horses, so I have to buy two horses.

The 4 people led the horses out of the city, bid farewell to the Luo Long brothers, got on the horses, and walked away, and soon disappeared in the eyes of the Luo Long brothers.

Riding on a poor horse, Liu Yi was as steady as Mount Tai, his body swayed as the horse advanced, and asked Zhang Shun on the left: "Brother Zhang Shun, do you see that we will meet in Beicheng at that time, and then we will leave for Biancheng County together? how."

Biancheng County is located at the very edge of Guanzhou, which is also the border of Yan State, and its geographical location belongs to the inland area.

Starting from Beicheng to Biancheng County, it takes about [-] days to travel on horseback, and it takes about ten days to go on a fast horse.

Biancheng County, as the border of Yan State, borders South Korea and Mongolia. There are constant wars all year round, bandits are rampant, and they are especially harassed by Dacaogu of Mongolia and South Korea.

Although it has just reached an alliance with Mongolia, there will definitely be some small tribesmen who will still come to the border to plunder the villages around Biancheng County.

It is a difficult place to govern, and it is for this reason that Xiang Shaolong arranged for Zhang Shun to be the county magistrate of Biancheng County.

"Okay, we will meet at the old place in Beicheng then." Zhang Shun nodded repeatedly. They both work in the same place and are friends, so they will have a companion when they go together.The so-called old place naturally refers to the "High School" inn.

This is Zhang Tie who was on the side also said: "Brother Liu can bring a few more people there, I heard that the place is a little chaotic, and it will not be safe if there are fewer people."

Zhang Tie has more or less heard about the places his brother will govern in the future, especially when he heard that the county magistrate who was killed was the county magistrate of the border city, he was even more worried and was considering whether to accompany Zhang Shun. Go to the border town.

For Zhang Tie's suggestion to bring more people, Liu Yi also agreed with his face. It seems that he also inquired about Biancheng County.

At this moment, a reminder suddenly appeared on Zhang Tie's retina.

【Ding!Urgent task! 】

【Survival mission! 】

【Mission Content: Survive the next attack! 】

[Task rewards: 30000 experience, 5000 system currency, Jianghu Token. 】

There are no yes or no options, and it is obviously a mandatory task. The so-called compulsion is actually a task that cannot be avoided.

Zhang Tie would only watch the mini-map every once in a while during missions or when he was in danger, otherwise no one would be able to observe the mini-map all the time.

And it's not long since they left Beicheng, the distance from Beicheng is not very far, and there are pedestrians on the road from time to time, who would have thought that someone would attack them near Beicheng.

Discovering the prompt in his retina, Zhang Tie immediately pulled the brakes on the horse's rope and stopped the horse without even thinking about it.

While dismounting, Zhang Tie pulled out the Po Jun, secretly equipped a small steel shield, and at the same time shouted anxiously: "Be careful! There is an ambush, stop and get off your horse to be on guard."

Hearing this, Zhang Shun immediately pulled the rope and jumped off the horse without thinking. Under Zhang Tie's eyes, he took the Eternal Control from Zhang Tie's horse, and then pretended to take out the dagger from the bag on the horse's back.

Liu Yi and Zhang Long looked at the two brothers holding a sword and shield with some doubts on their nervous faces, and stopped their horses with some doubts.

Although they didn't know what they were doing, but they didn't want to be on guard for no reason. Both of them got off their horses and took out the equipment they carried with them, two swords.

At this moment, more than a dozen arrows shot out from the woods on both sides of the official road. The two brothers Zhang Tie, who had been prepared for a long time, blocked them back to back with their shields and Pojun grid.

Liu Yi and the two were not so good. Although they were a little defensive, they were still in a state of confusion. They made dodge actions before the arrow arrived, but Liu Yi was still shot in the waist by an iron arrow. The card is given to the moment.

The four horses were not so lucky, they were all shot with arrows and blood flew across the body, the four horses ran forward frantically, fell to the ground and died within a few steps. "The arrow is poisonous!"

Liu Yi broke out in a cold sweat, back to back with Zhang Long, and looked around nervously, "Who! Sneaky, sneak attack is nothing, if you have the ability, come out!"

He was answered by more than ten iron arrows, but this time the iron arrows were fired one after another, not the initial salvo. In addition, everyone was already on guard and escaped this wave of attacks.

Zhang Tie on the side smashed an iron arrow with his knife, and looked at the forest on the right that was closest to him. Using the zoom effect, he saw the person who was about to draw the bow and shoot the arrow.

All of these people were masked, wearing leather armor, and had an iron knife at their waist.They all hold a bow in their hands, and are about to bend the bow and shoot an arrow.

"It's too passive. It's not an option to keep defending. There will always be mistakes. I'm the only one with long-range means. I can't suppress it. It seems that I have to charge forward and get rid of them."

Thinking of this, Zhang Tie said to Zhang Shun and the others: "You three, go to the side of the dead horse and besiege the city and defend well. I will deal with the enemy on the right first."

After all, without waiting for a few people to react, he rushed directly to the woods on the right.

 Ask for collection!Thanks to Nan Guo Shushu for the reward.
