"Brother Zhong, please come back-"

Seeing Zhong Bai still standing there and looking at this side quietly, Xiao Yuan turned over and waved at him.

From the time of knowing that Yi Jie Jinlan, the two were in a similar mood.

Liang Yuan was following Zhong Bai. Seeing that the team had gone away, he couldn't help but reminded: "Young Master, General Xiao has left."

"Hey!" Zhong Bai sighed and said, "After leaving, I don't know what the future of Brother Xiao is."

"General Xiao is like the young master, both are young talents. I believe that after he arrives in Qinzhou, he will definitely have a lucky person." Liang Yuan comforted.

"I hope this is the case." Zhong Bai said, and then said, "In addition, how are my father and younger sister doing?"

"I have arranged someone to pick up the master and the lady." Liang Yuan returned: "The General's Mansion is also underway."

"Yeah, let's go." Zhong Bai nodded and left here.

On the other side, the team was walking slowly. Xiao Yuan was riding a war horse, and he was surrounded by Peng Shuang, Liu Yuzhi and others.

Thinking of Xiao Yuan's words just now, Liu Yuzhi couldn't help but say, "The general is worried about Mr. Zhong."

Xiao Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "I am far from right and wrong, but Zhong Bai is in a political whirlpool and the court is in the corruption of the empire. His situation is actually very bad, but I can't persuade him, so I didn't speak because I know that he is determined to support the country..."

"The general is right. Now that the world is in a state of collapse, and to support the country, it may not be of any effect to start with the corrupt court." Liu Yuzhi also sighed slightly.

"Things of the world are unpredictable, let's go." Xiao Yuan interrupted the topic.

Qinzhou is located in a bitter and cold place on the border. If we look at the entire territory of the empire, it is located in the upper left corner, and the imperial capital is located in the middle, and the distance between them is more than a thousand miles.

Therefore, by the time Xiao Yuan and his team arrived in Qin, it was more than half a month later.

Shanyuguan.

This pass is a natural dangerous pass, but it has been in disrepair for thousands of years. It is the throat of the northwest. After passing this place, it will completely enter the Qin territory.

At present, Xiao Yuan is leading two thousand soldiers to arrive in front of the pass.

The Qin territory before was not affected by unrest, and the defenders at this pass were not to resist any foreign enemies, so there were not many.

But when he saw these two thousand soldiers, the defenders at the city gate were still shocked. A young general immediately fired an arrow and shouted: "Who! How dare you lead your troops to knock on the gate!"

The arrow was nailed to the ground in front of the team. Seeing this, Peng Shuang almost got angry and immediately glared and shouted:

"Bold! Lord Tai is here, don't turn on and off!"

Now Xiao Yuan is the prefect of Qinzhou who was appointed by the emperor. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he has an imperial flag in his hand. In ancient times, there is no need to say much about the legitimate power.

Hearing this, the defenders on the city widened their eyes. Then, the young general who shot the arrow screamed without saying a word, turned around and ran down the city wall, obviously reporting.

He had heard about the new prefect of Qinzhou. After learning the news, he did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly led his subordinates to open the city to greet him.

You should know that the prefect of Qinzhou is the highest executive of Qin. To put it bluntly, Xiao Yuan could determine Wang Lin's future with just one word, how could he not panic?

When he saw Xiao Yuan, the latter showed his official position to prove his identity. Wang Lin quickly knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "The last general Wang Lin, welcome the prefect."

"General is exempted from gifts." Xiao Yuan said: "Do you still need to look at the official seal and imperial edict?"

"Oh, sir, how dare you? " Wang Lin smiled and bent down and said sideways: "Sir, please enter the pass."

Just kidding, who dares to pretend to be the prefect of Qinzhou? After Xiao Yuan led his troops into the pass, Wang Lin was also confused and followed behind him and couldn't help but curry favor.

At present, the defenders in the pass were staring at Xiao Yuan with big eyes. Seeing this, Wang Lin scolded him angrily: "Why are you all standing there? You haven't seen the prefect!"

"Ah?" People were shocked and quickly bowed, saying, "I've seen the adults."

"Hurry! The prefect is exhausted all the way, so why don't you go and prepare wine and food to welcome the adults!" Wang Lin commanded again.

"Yes!" A young general left.

"Okay, OK." Xiao Yuan waved his hand, and he could only smile bitterly at Wang Lin's flattery attitude. After a week of patrol, he also looked at Wang Lin: "General Wang, the military equipment of Shanyuguan is too dilapidated, right?"

This defender had only a thousand people, and he had never fought a war for many years. The soldiers from all over the country were just scrambling to stay here.

There is no need to say how dispersed the military discipline is. Wang Lin said after hearing this: "I don't know that Qin is so cold and poor. It's good to have these military preparations. It's been five years since I was about to work in Shanyuguan. Many times, I have to find a way to find food and grass, let alone military pay, not to mention three months.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly and asked again: "Who is in charge of Qin before I come?"

"It is headed by Mr. Guo Qian, the Chief Secretary of the Qin Prefecture," Wang Lin replied.

If Qin is compared to a country, then the chief minister of Qin is equivalent to the prime minister. The position of prefect was vacant before, so he naturally became the person in charge.

"Then, Lord Guo doesn't care about this situation? Or did you not report it?" Xiao Yuan asked again. After all, no matter how there is no war in Shanyuguan, it is still a pass.

"This..." Wang Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that there is no report, but it's just a small Shanyuguan garrison. Lord Guo said that the treasury is vacant and taxes are difficult to collect, so he has no money to pay grain. There is no way to get low-level positions. Besides, it is difficult for me to see Lord Guo."

"Yeah, I understand." Xiao Yuan nodded, and knew it well, and did not talk about this issue anymore.

Next, Wang Lin requested from many parties and insisted on helping Xiao Yuan, but it was difficult to refuse his affection, so Xiao Yuan did not refuse.

There was not enough military rations here, but in order to please Xiao Yuan, Wang Lin took out all his secrets. At the table, he stopped toasting and said with a shy smile:

"The prefect is new, and the entire Qinzhou will be under the rule of the Lord. I hope he will be promoted more. He will be the leader of the low-ranking positions."

In Wang Lin's mind, Shanyuguan is a place where he can die, so he naturally doesn't want to stay here, and Xiao Yuan can transfer him away with just one word.

Therefore, he is a good person to pick up what he says.
