A middle-aged man riding a horse and dusty, rushed to the city of Qingdi at dawn.

Looking at the dense crowds outside the south city gate in the dark, He Ming was stunned for a moment: "I received the news with the city lord in Yucheng, and then I rushed over immediately. Unexpectedly, it was still too late, so many people got the news."

He Ming got off the horse, walked around, and inquired about the situation before he understood what was going on.

These people all come from villages and towns around Qingdi City and have existed for thousands of years with the support of Qingdi City.

Even if they didn't see the battle outside Qingdi City yesterday, they heard about it from other villagers, and they had received much earlier than him.

These people, either were originally from Qingdi City, or had relatives living in Qingdi City, and were originally close to each other, so when they got the news, they quickly contacted their relatives and friends, and a large group of people with their families came together.

I heard that they came late and early, so they entered the city yesterday afternoon.

He Ming has traveled around the world and experienced a lot, so he naturally understands that he should not underestimate anyone's wisdom.

People like these from villages and towns outside the big city look down on them, but they have their own wisdom and know how to survive in this blood-soaked land.

Qingdi City defeated the enemy, gained a foothold, and reversed the situation in one fell swoop, and it was bound to develop vigorously, which required a large number of manpower. In order to support the family and to make a better life for the family, young and strong people naturally arrived at a very fast speed.

After understanding the situation, He Ming laughed at himself: "Actually, what's the difference between me and them? They're just for the sake of going to the city to make a living."

The work content, different positions, and the final achievements may be different, but their starting points are exactly the same.

There is no essential difference between the two.

...

...

Above the south gate of Qingdi City, a soldier from the Qinglin Army with a tired face stood in front of the arrow tower and reported: "General, the time has come, you can open the city gate."

Lin Jiansheng opened his eyes, walked down the arrow tower, stood beside the female wall, looked at the dense crowds of people under the city, and said to the soldiers behind him: "I know everyone has worked hard, but the last two days are a critical period. After these days, they will get better and better."

The sequelae of Qingyao's secret technique yesterday has become Lin Jiansheng, who has become a sideline of the Qing Emperor's lineage. Although he did not sleep and only entered into meditation, he almost recovered after seven or eight hours, but it still takes some days for ordinary people to fully recover.

In addition, according to yesterday's observation statistics, the factor of the Qing Emperor's bloodline is excluded, the higher the strength, the faster the recovery speed.

After taking turns to rest during the day and night yesterday, people above the seventh grade have basically recovered their ability to move and can perform simple patrols, registrations, management and other tasks normally.

"General, I'm not tired." His eyes were covered in blood and his face was full of fatigue, but the young soldier replied loudly with vitality.

The days two days ago appeared in Lin Jiansheng's mind. Although there was no blood in his eyes and no fatigue on his face, the soldiers of the Qinglin Army, including him, were lifeless. It was completely opposite to now, and they didn't feel any vitality at all.

And all of this changed on that day with the appearance of that adult.

Lin Jiansheng raised his right hand, patted the young soldier's shoulders heavily, and said strongly: "Our Qingdi City will inevitably restore the prosperous era of the imperial city thousands of years ago, and even more prosperous than that!"

After all, that was a living emperor!

With Lord Qingdi, the Qingdi City is the real imperial city and the safest and most powerful city in the world.

It is naturally no problem to restore the prosperous era of the imperial city that was a thousand years ago.

"Yes, General, I believe so."

The young soldier nodded vigorously. Although he did not know the existence of Lord Qingdi, he believed in the Qingyao City Lord, the Qingfeng City Lord, and the Qingdi City who had just defeated Luojiang City, now Qingdi City.

Especially, when he thought of the senior city lord Qingyao defeating Luo Jiangcheng, the middle-level strong man of the monarch level, he also participated in it and contributed his own strength, he felt very proud.

...

...

As the thick bronze gate slowly opened, this ancient city that has been around for thousands of years and has risen and fallen several times has been revealed in front of He Ming's eyes.

Facing the wet morning breeze, He Ming followed the crowd and walked into this ancient city.

At dawn, everything was silent, and most people had not yet got up. There were not many pedestrians on the street except those of them who entered the city overnight.

After entering the city, everyone did not hesitate at all, had clear goals, and rushed along Guancheng to the center of the city.

He Ming followed the crowd, intending to inquire about the situation first, think about it, clarify his ideas, and then decide how to join the officialdom.

Following the crowd, leading the horse, along the way, He Ming looked around with the brighter and brighter morning light, and his mind surged.

Sure enough, Qingdi City was already dilapidated, and even if the long road was walking, there were grass growing on both sides. This shows that the situation in other streets of Qingdi City was even more serious.

There are grass growing on the main official roads of the city, naturally because few people walk around and take care of it.

He Ming also noticed that there were many vacant houses on both sides, and some yards were even covered with grass on the walls. The branches in the yard grew outside the walls, and the roofs were even full of grass. Obviously, no one had lived there for a long time.

This is the main official road on both sides. One of the best areas in the city, even such areas are not satisfied with people. This shows how little people were in Qingdi City before and how dilapidated the city was.

Such a phenomenon is impossible to occur in other bustling cities.

However, the fewer people and the more dilapidated the city, will I have a greater chance?

Isn’t it because of this that I came overnight?

He Ming followed the crowd and walked slowly for about an hour. Finally, when the sun rose, he arrived at Qingdi Square in the center of the city.

Looking at the thousands of tables and chairs, hundreds of big pots, and the smell of meat in the air, He Ming sniffed hard and exclaimed: "This is the meat of monsters?! Hiss, so many monsters of monsters? Tsk tsk... But, it's a pity that such cooking techniques have ruined good things. If they are carefully cooked, they will definitely be the best dishes of hundreds of spirit stones."

He Ming saved the horses and salutes, walked in Qingdi Square, listening to the conversation among the crowd, and then realized that this was a water banquet, to celebrate the promotion of the Lord Qingyao City and Young Lord Qingfeng City to the level of the monarch.

After walking around and understanding the situation, He Ming found a team with few people and lined up: "Although the cooking method is average, it is useless to eat good things like monster meat."

An official who maintained order came and said to them: "Today is the third day of the ferry, and there are four days left. Don't worry, take your time. If you have the first time to come to Qingdi City, you need to register first and then collect the monster meat."

The official walked up to He Ming, glanced at He Ming and said, "If there are warriors above the seventh grade, please leave the line. You don't need to line up. We have a special place to call you."

He Ming looked around and then at himself. In order not to attract attention, he rushed to the gate of Qingdi City, and deliberately changed his clothes and pretended. His dress was obviously similar to most people around him. In addition, the secret method of collecting breath should not be exposed so quickly?

But seeing the young official staring at him, it was obvious that he had been exposed.

He Ming walked out of the team helplessly and saluted the young official: "The scholar who travels around the world, He Ming, has met the lord."

Although scholars practice martial arts, they do not focus on practicing martial arts and honing their combat skills. They are more about studying and learning literature. Even if they practice secret techniques, they are also practicing auxiliary secret techniques.

"I'm just a minor official from the city lord's mansion, and I dare not call him a master. My name is Qin Huai, please follow me." Since the other party took the initiative to report the origin of the name, Qin Huai also replied politely.

He Ming had no bad intentions about Qingdicheng. He pretended to be cautious and wanted to find out first and then make decisions. Therefore, although he was bitten through his identity, he was not panic and angry. Instead, he smiled and started chatting with the other party.

"You have such a good eye. You are traveling around the world next week. For safety, you have specially practiced the secret method of breath-raising. Few people can see through it. You can actually see through it at a glance. I admire you."

hehe……

Your secret method of breath-catching is indeed powerful. Even if you break into Qingdi Square, no one will find him. However, you are unlucky. When I was a teenager, I left Qingdi City with the mall and went out to explore. I have experienced several dangers, but I have survived the disaster and encountered several adventures.

Among them, once, he was chased and seriously injured in Mocheng. He met a bald man in black. Seeing that he had good qualifications, the other party rescued him, accepted him as a registered disciple, and passed him on the secret method of controlling insects with one hand.

He Ming's secret method of breath-catching is indeed miraculous for warriors, but for his insects, it is as conspicuous as the candlelight in the dark, and he is obviously a high-quality warrior.

Qin Huai naturally would not tell He Ming, who had first met, and said perfunctorily: "I have not seen through your secret method of breath-catching. But when I was speaking, I saw that you were extraordinary in temperament and took a few more glances. Unexpectedly, you stood up by yourself. You are so honest, and I will definitely misreport Shangguan to correct your name."

After hearing this, He Ming kept a smile on his face, but he shook his head in his heart: "Although I never thought that you could get the answer by asking, you shouldn't be proud of it, and then I'll compliment you again. After a while, aren't our relationship familiar? If you are obviously perfunctory, you obviously don't want to make friends with me."

He Ming naturally would not retreat if he encountered any difficulties.

After all, he came to Qingdi City to come to Qingdi City, and the other party could easily see through his secret method of breath-catching, that is, a capable person.

Such a capable man is now just a ninth-rank stern official. He is just a time when Longyou is traveling to the shallows, so of course he has to try his best to make friends.

He Ming can assert that if nothing unexpected happens, the other party’s future is limitless.

He Ming is such a smart person. Even though he knew that the other party was perfunctory, he took the conversation enthusiastically and said, "Thank you Brother Qin."

Since his identity has been discovered, He Ming simply followed the trend and exploded: "After hearing about the battle between the Lord Qingcha City and the Lord Qingfeng Young City, he quickly resigned from his position as Yucheng, hanged his seal, and came overnight, just to enter Qingdi City City and pursue the Lord Qingyao City."

He even bowed to Qin Huai and said, "Since Brother Qin has already entered the officialdom, he is He's future colleague. I will fall in love with Brother Qin at first sight. Please take care of Brother Qin."

Qin Huai has been traveling abroad for ten years, so he is naturally very knowledgeable. He Ming's style is really like the style of a scholar who travels around the world and seeks to enter the officialdom.

Qin Huai also wanted to join the officialdom at the beginning, but his personality was really not as good as those scholars who traveled around hundreds of cities, and even his kind of people didn't accept you. Later, even if he was lucky enough to join the officialdom, he naturally had no way to survive. Soon he was dismissed from office because of offending others.

If he hadn't been discouraged outside, he wouldn't have returned to this dilapidated hometown.

If it weren't for his hometown, he wouldn't have chosen to become an official again after seeing the hope of his rise.

It is naturally not the same concept to become an official in my hometown and travel around hundreds of cities to become an official.

For example, Qin Huai entered the officialdom in his hometown, had connections left by generations and a clean background. He quickly passed the interview and officially entered the officialdom.

The scribes who travel around hundreds of cities need to be reviewed, recommended, and opportunities to enter the officialdom. Even if they enter the officialdom, they will not be such a position with the power of law enforcement.

Most of them are positions that do not have much power and are assisted, such as staff members and clerks.

If you want to get a position like law enforcement power or be in charge of a department, it is very difficult. It takes time to settle into it and take root; or you can stand out and entrust with important tasks after being tested by major events.

Thinking of this, when Qin Huai looked at He Ming, he felt a little more pity and his tone became much more sincere, and said, "If Brother He is sincere in joining the officialdom, he is indeed the right place. Qingdi City is in trouble. It is the time to use people. As long as he passes the review, with Brother He's talent, I believe he will be able to join the officialdom soon."

It's not easy, I finally hugged my thighs.

If you travel around hundreds of cities, there are scholars. If you don’t have local people’s support, it will be impossible to move forward.

This is all the bloody experience accumulated by He Ming over the years.

He Ming followed Qin Huai away from Qingdi Square and arrived at the schoolyard on the other side.

At this time, hundreds of new recruits were already training in the school field. It seemed that they had just begun and were undergoing the most basic training.

"Brother Huai?" A young man from the recruit army had just arrived at Qin Huai and couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Xiaofeng..."
