Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

Jiang Yuchen seemed to have thought of something and said, "But...do you think that Nanyang general looks familiar?"

I was about to speak, but an option suddenly appeared:

"Not familiar"

"Looks familiar, the savior of Yuanqu City"

"Looks familiar, the general I met in Nanyang"

I chose the third one and said: "That day when the Imperial Master took me away from Nanyang, the general I met by chance must be him."

Jiang Yuchen: "Indeed, I just didn't expect you to remember it so clearly."

Me: "...He was too strange that day, so he must have had an impression."

Jiang Yuchen did not continue talking, but continued to lead the large troops to the Guoshi Temple.

The Guoshi Temple is not far from the city gate, so you have to walk there to show your sincerity. Naturally, the same goes for foreign envoys.

Both sides of the street were lined with people watching, and there were many girls upstairs throwing flowers, and even some were throwing their purses.

I felt a little funny when I saw the few people behind me being overwhelmed by the thrown purses, but the next second I was hit by a purse that came from nowhere.

"?"

Unknown people: "The county boss received the purse I sent!"

I don’t know what mechanism was triggered by this sentence, but more and more flowers and purses were thrown towards me, which actually made me dazzled.

When I arrived at the entrance of Guoshi Temple, I was holding a pile of purses and was even more at a loss than the few people behind me.

Jiang Yuchen asked Yunze to take the things down, and I was now empty-handed.

The next step was to worship, burn incense, and pray for blessings... Jiang Yuchen led them through the step-by-step process.

When we were approaching the last step, Chi Wanshen stood beside me at some point and asked me softly: "Does the county magistrate want to see a hundred birds singing in unison?"

I said without much hesitation: "I think so."

Chi Wanshen: "The county master will wait and see."

I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd. I only know about "A Hundred Birds Chirping" from the mouth of the old master. It has been many years and has never appeared again.

I thought he was joking and I walked up to the chimes with a wooden hammer. To be honest, I was a little nervous. This was the first time I played music in front of so many people.

After receiving the hint from Jiang Yuchen's eyes, I started to play the chime. I learned it for less than a month. Although I can't call it a superb skill, I am already very proficient in this piece of music. It is not in vain that I have been playing it day and night these days. In Guoshi Temple.

Halfway through the playing, I knew what Chi Wanshen meant.

The roof of this temple is hollow, and when my song reaches its climax, many birds suddenly appear above the beams. They stand on the rafters and chirp regularly as I play music.

I marveled at the agility of these birds, but I didn't dare to relax my hand movements at all, for fear that I would strike the wrong note in a hurry and scare them away.

When the last hammer struck, the birds on the beam also stopped chirping and left together just as they came.

"drop! Congratulations to the host for completing the chime task! Rewards have been distributed! 』

I was in a daze for a moment, and the people watching in the audience screamed in surprise.

"As expected of being the only county lord in Beiyin, he is truly extraordinary."

Chi Wanshen started talking, and the people below began to cheer and applaud, even saying "the goddess is alive".

Listening to these praises and cheers, I felt a sense of fear in my heart, as if everything in front of me was illusory and would be broken in the next second...

"County Lord."

I suddenly came to my senses, and Jiang Yuchen looked at me worriedly.

"What's wrong with the County Lord?"

I reassured him: "It's okay. It's probably because I ate less in the morning and I can't hold on any longer."

There are many and heavy hair accessories on the head, and the head feels heavy.

Jiang Yuchen: "Why don't you let Yunze take you back home first? There will be nothing wrong here in Nanyang."

After the Nanyang envoy received the baptism ceremony, Chi Wanshen took him directly to the palace to discuss matters, waiting for the following dinner.

Just when I wanted to agree, Qin Che turned around and stopped me: "My Majesty would like to invite the county master to come to the palace to discuss matters together. I wonder if the county master can give me a favor?"

Qin Che didn't have any special expression, as if he was just here to convey a message.

When Jiang Yuchen was about to refuse, I stopped him and said, "His Majesty Nanyang is so kind that it is difficult to refuse. I, the County Lord, will certainly keep the appointment."

It was probably the dizziness caused by the incomplete soul fragments just now, but it doesn't matter now that it has calmed down. It's just that this is Ling Hengyuan's second invitation. Rejecting it again seems like I have something in my heart. It's better to talk openly.

It was not convenient for Jiang Yuchen to enter the palace with us, so I put the bell on my waist to reassure him.

Ling Hengyuan and Chi Wanshen's carriages were already ahead. In order to catch up with them, I got on the horse and prepared to follow them on horseback.

Qin Che: "The county master seems weak, but I didn't expect that he can ride a horse."

I was riding on the horse. Although I was a little scared, I still raised my chin and said, "It's okay, Beiyin is second."

The horse under my crotch is relatively docile, and I can ride it quite well, but the speed is a little slower.

Qin Che also rode a horse and walked slowly beside me, glancing at me from time to time.

I pretended not to know, but the streets of the capital had already been opened for today's events. Curious people were standing on both sides watching. They were not as enthusiastic as those at the city gate, but those who recognized me would shout out.

I wasn't used to it at first, but I got used to it later. When word of today's incident spreads, I'm afraid the capital will be in a state of excitement again.

Qin Che suddenly said: "They like you very much."

I looked proud: "The name of Beiyin's only county head is not just talk."

Qin Che: "Do you like being the county chief?"

How could you not like it when you can get silver coins just by lying down in the Imperial Preceptor's house? However, all this is also based on the need to serve as a strategist, otherwise there will be no discussion with Chi Wanshen.

"Nature loves it."

Qin Che stopped talking. I turned my head and looked over. He seemed to be thinking about something.

The two of them were riding on horses, neither too close nor too far apart. Only then did I realize that Qin Che seemed to have dressed himself up specially, with a small braid on his ponytail. Compared with the day we left in Nanyang, he was more energetic, his whole person was much more energetic, and his eyes seemed to have lost the paranoia.

It seems that after meeting my aunt, I untied some of my inner knots.

Then his attention was attracted by the dark black dongzhu on his silver sword. Could it be that he and Ling Hengyuan had agreed to wear these two sword tassels together?

"County Lord?"

"!" I found myself distracted again, staring at someone's waist, feeling a little embarrassed.

Qin Che: "The county owner also likes this East Pearl?"

I was looking straight ahead pretending to be serious. After he finished speaking, I reacted for a moment: "Dongzhu? Oh, oh, oh, it looks pretty, and it suits you very well."

Qin Che: "I gave it to the one I love, so it's a good match."

I tried my best to ignore the gentle smile on his face, and suddenly remembered that I had heard this sentence somewhere before. Why did it sound so familiar?
