Back Off, Let Me Come

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Xiang Zhao came to increase his value as usual.

Stepping into the camp, she was keenly aware of something unusual.

Before she could retreat back, a dark shadow passed by in her peripheral vision, and she subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword - in order to give Xiang Zhao some ability to protect himself in troubled times, her great-grandfather taught her martial arts. It was a subtle calculation but not a problem against ordinary thieves - as soon as the fingertips touched the decoration on the sword hilt, the wrist suddenly lost consciousness and was replaced by a numbness of electric current!

The wrist of his right hand was strangled, and his waist and eyes were pinched.

Goosebumps broke out on Xiang Zhao's skin, and cold sweat broke out on his spine.

Luan Xin's camp is also heavily guarded. It is not easy for a strange face to sneak in, unless the person coming is very powerful or has help from within. In an instant, countless speculations flashed through Xiang Zhao's mind, but the most important thing right now was to protect himself.

The voice of the visitor was not as rich as a man's, but more like a woman's: "I should ask you this question, who are you?"

Hearing the response, Xiang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party took the initiative to answer instead of killing people. This can basically rule out the identity of the survivors of the southwest who were destroyed. There was no murderous intention in his words. He should not be a spy lurking in to steal secrets. He is most likely from the Kangguo camp: "I am the Wenwen of Master Luan. "

Currently, he is practicing with Luan Xin in this capacity.

"I've never seen him before, he looks unfamiliar."

The visitor loosened the restraint, still cautiously pulled out Xiang Zhao's sword and threw it aside, his eyes fixed on Xiang Zhao's movements.

"Also, why do you call him Master Luan?"

Xiang Zhao turned around and retreated, only then could he see the appearance of the person coming.

This is a young man dressed in coarse linen and linen, wearing the simplest bun style, dressed as a ranger. Perhaps because she didn't take care of it very much, her eyebrows were a little messy and were not as carefully sculpted as those of ordinary women. In addition, she was tall and tall. At first glance, it was easy to misunderstand her as a man with a delicate appearance.

"Master Luan preaches and learns from me to solve my doubts. What's wrong with calling me this? But you, what are you doing sneaking around here?"

The woman said: "Come back and wait for the report."

Xiang Zhao: "..."

Luan Xin is indeed the official minister.

However, Xiang Zhao couldn't help but think about the sky outside the tent. Even the fish belly white had not yet appeared on the horizon: "Debriefing? Now?"

The woman said, "Why don't you come over here and sleep in the wild for another night?"

She arrived half a day late, and the army broke up camp and headed to the next place. It was already midnight when I caught up with him. After going through the procedures and verifying his identity, it took until the middle of the night. She didn't have anywhere to sleep, so she might as well come here to wait for someone.

Luan Xin's daily routine is the same as that of an old man.

I couldn't bear to quarrel with him.

I wanted to find a straw mat to make do with for a long time, but when I was half asleep and half awake, I noticed someone sneaking closer here. My instinctive reaction was that there was a thief. There are no enemies nearby, and there is no fighting at all. Everyone who should be sleeping is asleep at this point. Luan Gongyi's work schedule did not allow him to wander around at night, let alone send anyone to pick up things.

The woman then grabbed the man and asked him what happened.

"You said you are Luan Gong's student?"

People who are not familiar with Luan Xin will only think that this person is taciturn and seems to be docile, but in fact he is distant and difficult to get close to, making him intimidating. But if you get along with him more, you will find that he is simply slow to respond and has the same attitude towards everyone.

Oh, except for the censor doctor at the censor station.

Because of this shortcoming, it is almost impossible for him to take the initiative to recruit disciples.

Are the more impatient students driven crazy by him?

Miao Shu back then, and later on, were almost always forced into him, and she was a passive student. The communication between teachers and students was as refined as possible, and she never said anything when she could do it - an ineffective communication meeting. Wasting a lot of his precious time.

result--

Another student appears?

Still a female student.

The woman still had doubts in her mind, and Xiang Zhao also doubted her identity: "You didn't go to the official department of the royal capital to report on your work, and why did you come here?"

"The royal capital is too far away. Why take the shortcut when you can take the shortcut?"

When the woman said this, she felt a little guilty.

I was supposed to come to see Shen Tang as soon as the mission was accomplished. On the way, I took care of a few small things with swords and swords, killed a few thieves who were short-sighted, and took two detours. The journey that could have been completed in a few days, She was forced to delay it to more than two months.

"If what you say is true, then I will count you as half a fellow disciple."

"Are you also a student of Master Luan?"

"That's half." After the misunderstanding was resolved, the woman was much more pleased with Xiang Zhao. Knowing that she came here specially in advance, her enthusiasm for learning was even more favorable. "If there is a chance, it is best to go to the academy and stay there in the future." Two years.”

She was curious about how Xiang Zhao became a disciple of Luan Xin.

It would be more suitable to become a disciple of Ning Shizhong.

Not to mention anything else, at least joining a class at a college has a natural advantage. You can also get to know many classmates when you go to the academy. Whether you want to enter the official career or indulge in the world in the future, you will have many connections and paths.

Xiang Zhao took note of the woman's suggestion.

"I don't know what to call the queen?"

"Miao Ne, Miao Ximin, you probably haven't heard of my name." She doesn't have a formal organization, and when she has errands, she just takes orders from her superiors. Freedom is freedom, but her disadvantages are also quite obvious. She didn't know how much reward she would get for this act. If possible, she would like to ask for an imperial title for her mother. This was one of the reasons why she came to Luan Gong to report her work, and to test his tone in private.

You can count the number of people who have received titles in Kang State on one hand, and more than half of them were defeated generals under the Lord's command in the past. Most of them were awarded titles to appease and commend them, and to stabilize people's hearts. For this reason, Miao Na didn't even think about getting a royal title, as long as he could get one.

If Luan Gong speaks well for himself, he will be more successful.

Xiang Zhao didn't know what was going on in her mind.

"Are you Senior Sister Ximin?"

"Have you heard of me?"

"Master Luan happened to mention it yesterday."

Miao Na has a loose and unrestrained personality, which can even be called rough. There are some things that she can do as much as she can. She is not a Miaozi who can safely serve as an official in the government. Xiang Zhao is on the other extreme. The one who can achieve a balance between the two is Miao Shu, who has been dead for many years.

Unfortunately, Miao Shu had a fatal flaw and a bad nature.

If she really wants to become an official, it will be a disaster for one party.

Luan Xin didn't tell Xiang Zhao that much. He just mentioned Miao Na's talent and temperament, implying that she didn't have to be so pressing and could do well like Miao Na. Moreover, Miao Na was the mentor to Master Luan's young daughter. If they met, they would definitely be able to chat.

Xiang Zhao: "..."

Master Luan's judgment was wrong.

Only when they actually met did they realize that the two of them had a different temperament.

They looked at each other with no desire to communicate at all.

When Luan Xin stepped on the spot to get up, what he saw was such a weird scene. Two young people of similar age were sitting in a corner, and even the air wished they could be separated.

After he joined, the teachers and students were silent.

Fortunately, Miao Ne wrote a work report in advance.

Ordinary officials' work reports are described as "pile", but Miao Na's was a palm-sized document with less than a hundred words written on it. The words were concise and comprehensive, taking full account of Luan Xin's shortcomings. Luan Xin finished reading ten lines at a glance and closed it.

"You have worked hard these past few years, but what do you want?" For the sake of errands, I almost changed from unmarried to married, which was a big sacrifice.

"I want to ask for a royal seal for my mother."

Xiang Zhao on the side almost thought he was hallucinating.

Is the communication between these two a little too straightforward?

Luan Xin thought for a while: "This shouldn't be difficult." With Luan Xin's words, Miao Ne's hanging heart returned to its original place. Luan Xin was in charge of the entire staff department, and he said there was no problem, so the matter was basically 90% stable. Luan Xin had to remind her of another matter: "Let's not mention this for now, but there is one thing you have to pay attention to. The original Cui family of Qi State has submitted to the royal court. Although the power is not as powerful as before, there are some good and filial people. I can’t stay lonely anymore. If you enter the court this time, your identity will be exposed sooner or later..."

"What does Luan Gong mean?"

"I plan to let you decentralize for a few years first." Kang Guo used force to conquer a large area of ​​land. There will be no shortage of vacancies for anything now. It is not difficult to find an official position for Miao Na. "It is best to arrange it far away from the Cui family." The most important place to be affected is safety. In a few years, Cui Xiong will start a family or you will become a successful person. Even if Mr. Cui knows that it is you..."

This time can be shortened further.

Kang State is now experiencing frequent wars.

The battlefield in the southwest is over, and there are opportunities in the center.

Miao Na said sarcastically: "But... I don't really want to enter the court."

Asking for the imperial title is asking for the imperial title, it does not mean that she wants to become an official.

"If you don't enter the court, you will have no choice but to live in vain. In the future, Cui will put pressure on you or your relatives and colleagues, what can you do? There is no conflict between entering the court and enlightening one's own mind. You may wish to consider it again." Ask for one. The establishment does not prevent us from continuing to work for the Lord.

Miao Na said: "Cui Xiong should not be affected."

It's easy to get together and get together, so you can't be so stingy, right?

"He doesn't know how. Where is Cui Zhishan? Where is Cui Shanxiao? Cui Shanxiao is still from Yushitai. If he has any opinions on you, it will make you peel off a layer of skin." Public affairs belong to public affairs, and private hatred belongs to private hatred. Who stipulates that there is no contradiction when working for one person?

Miao Ne is more important, or are relatives and grandchildren more important?

Luan Xin's words may be exaggerated, but he is indeed thinking about Miao Ne. Life is long, who knows what the situation between North Korea and China will be like in the future? There are also people who work in the opposite direction, and there are people who are connected by blood and are at war with each other. Miao Ne may not have the desire to kill, but he cannot be without the ability to protect himself. Luan Xin had discussed with Shen Tang a long time ago about letting Miao Ne enter the court, and the Lord also agreed.

Miao Ne scratched her messy hair.

He hesitated and said, "I'll think about it again."

I said I was thinking about it again, but I didn’t think about it for long.

She was curious about where Luan Xin wanted to arrange her place.

Luan Xin gave her three choices.

Xiang Zhao watched on the sidelines with his heart beating wildly. Is this still a choice?

Miao Ne took it over out of curiosity. The moment he saw the location clearly, the corners of his mouth froze immediately: "These three ghost places?"

It's said that this ghost place has been beautified.

She was given difficulty from the beginning, and she suspected that someone was trying to trouble her.

“How can we achieve political achievements in a good place?”

Luan Xin could get her a good job, but going there would just be a waste of time. She would go through the term smoothly, and if she wanted to make outstanding political achievements, it would be almost impossible to get a high evaluation in the official assessment, and she would even be considered too mediocre. And was downgraded. On the contrary, in these places where the economic and population are poor, if you do well, you can become a blockbuster, and the path to promotion will be more secure.

Since Miao Na had no interest in the Cui family, he could only go far in his official career.

Go further and have more freedom.

It is always better to choose others than to be chosen by others.

Miao Ne thought for a while and chose one that was relatively beneficial to him.

"This place?" Luan Xin was not very satisfied.

This place was the one he was least optimistic about among the three choices.

Miao Na said: "Linjun is a classmate."

"When did your classmate take office?"

"Four years ago?"

"He took office four years ago? He would have been transferred by now."

Miao Ne said with a smile: "I know, but even if they are transferred, there will definitely be some familiar people left behind. They can be asked to help with matchmaking, which saves me the hassle of running around to choose people I can trust."

Again, the official quota is limited.

Some subordinate officials in the local government office were no longer employed. Wang Ting was only responsible for part of the salary, and the local officials had to make up the rest.

Miao Na went to find a classmate to borrow people, which not only saves money, but also eliminates the need for talent assessment, and can run the company once the personnel are in place.

"Having said that, you can't rely too much on it."

When officials are transferred, their confidants will usually be taken away to the next assignment. Those who are not taken away are either locals or have already taken root in the area, or have other flaws in their moral character and ability... There are so many of these old fools, who can say anything about the entire government office? It’s hard to say.

If Miao Ne wants to go, he must bring his own people.

As a teacher, Luan Xin promised her fifty private chapters.

Miao Ne almost choked on her saliva.

"It's absolutely impossible to do it. You won't be rewarded for your efforts."

"You and I also have a relationship between master and disciple. What do we mean by receiving no reward for no merit? If the teacher gives it to the student, do we still need the student to get merit?"

Miao Na knew that Luan Xin didn't like to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept.

There is an embarrassing problem that needs to be solved.

"I'm afraid I can't afford to support these fifty people..." Those rich rangers are basically children from rich families who follow the fashion trends. They are a special case. Most of the rangers are empty-pocketed and poor from the third generation. Luan Xin gave her away, but she could not afford to keep him.

"You are yours as a gift, and you still want me to support you?"

Luan Xin responded so quickly that Miao Ne couldn't help but wonder - was it because Luan Xin could hardly afford to support himself, so he dumped him on her?

Probably not. The Minister of Civil Service cannot be short of money for anything.

Luan Xin also understood her: "Go back and talk to the Lord about the important points."

Miao Ne was almost moved to tears.

If you still can’t afford it—

Then we can only find ways to rob the rich and give to the poor.

Xiang Zhao looked at the two of them and felt emotional for a moment.

Not to mention master and apprentice, not even the biological father and daughter had such thoughtful arrangements as Luan Xin. After getting along with him for the past few days, she thought that Teacher Luan was reticent, but now it seemed that was not the case. Just as she was thinking about it, she was patted on the shoulder by Miao Ne, and she suddenly came back from her thoughts.

"Sister, do you have any instructions?"

"Will you come to me when you gather your literary heart? You have to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." She doesn't know Xiang Zhao, but she knows Luan Xin, and she believes in the other party's standards for recruiting disciples. Xiang Zhao and herself are also considered Are fellow disciples and sisters not more trustworthy than outsiders?

That place is not in the southwest boundary.

It belongs to an enclave of Kang State in the central region.

The enclave was very inconvenient to manage. As Kang State and the Southwest Allied Forces started fighting, the central government also wanted to remove this thorn in its side.

Miao Ne chose this place because it was very difficult and risky.

Xiang Zhao hesitated for a moment and looked at Luan Xin.

She wanted to know if Miao Ne's words were his instructions.

You must know that turning on Xiangzhao is equivalent to turning on a bound Gongyang Yongye. The 19th grade Guan Neihou has passed by. No matter how badly the giant Buddha is arranged, there will be no one who can overthrow him in a palm-sized enclave. This move is quite scheming.

It turns out that Miao Ne was just lucky.

Uェ*U

In the next chapter, the new leader of the southwest Qi country goes offline, and the melee in the central part begins.

There are some scribes in the middle who have special abilities that can restrain high-level warriors (which is equivalent to forcibly lowering the upper limit of the strength of battlefield warriors). However, as long as Xiang's moves are still there, they will basically be nullified.
