Chapter 291 The Imperial Guard arrives in coastal counties

The village chief had already told Chen's father and Chen Cihai about raising money before. This time the village chief came over and took out the money, and the three of them gathered in the back room and talked about it for a long time.

After everything that needed to be said was said, Chen's father held the five hundred taels of silver notes in his hands, his eyes red.

He remembered the kindness of his relatives.

The village chief stood up with his cane and looked into the distance through the window. "It's getting late, so I'll leave first."

Father Chen's mood has not yet calmed down.

After Chen Cihai glanced at Chen's father, he quickly turned sideways and said, "Second uncle, I'll see you off."

The village chief nodded and slowly walked out of the back room with his cane.

Chen Qingzhou already knew about this. After hearing the noise, he couldn't read the book in his hand. After thinking about it, he put down the book and looked outside through the window.

He didn't know what he was thinking. He only knew that when he saw the village chief coming out, he couldn't stand up.

He was timid.

Chen Qingzhou clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and glanced at the village chief's gray hair, then fell on the rickety figure...

He had never felt so depressed.

Chen Qingzhou lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the village chief again, but picked up the book again, forcing himself to read word for word, even though he had so many thoughts in his mind.

…

Emperor Jingyong said that it would be five days at the latest, so the Imperial Guards naturally did not dare to slack off. They changed horses all the way to the inn, and worked hard to reach the coastal county in the early morning of August 22nd.

The guards at the city gate had already received Xiao Jin's instructions. After seeing the token again, they quickly asked someone to deliver a message to the Yamen, and then neatly opened the city gate and let the imperial guards enter the city.

Xiao Jin was sleeping when he was suddenly woken up. He frowned and lifted the quilt and got up.

The servants who were keeping watch in the outer room heard the noise and quickly lit the candles. Then they stood in front of the screen and said, "Sir, the guards at the city gate came to report that people from the capital are here."

Xiao Jin rubbed his eyebrows and asked his servants to come in and help him dress, "Hurry up, don't make people wait for too long."

The servant responded quickly and swiftly.

The door also opened, and someone came in with warm water. I had just woken up and my sleepiness had not dissipated. It would be better to wash my face.

Xiao Jin was not idle either. He looked at the master who came in and asked, "Has the accommodation been arranged?"

The master nodded and said, "It will be arranged in the courtyard where the black-armored guards used to live. The kitchen is already busy, and the stables have also been given instructions."

Just waiting for people to arrive.

Xiao Jin nodded, he felt relieved that the master had taken care of everything.

After packing up, Xiao Jin walked towards the gate of the county government office. As soon as he arrived, he saw the Imperial Guards riding horses and walking slowly towards them.

Xiao Jin didn't recognize the person. He only knew that the leader was Liu Siqian, the young master of Wu Ping's house.

And the most important point.

In the Yong Dynasty, the system of demotion and nobility was adopted.

Wu Pingbo died ten years ago, but he had the merit of serving the dragon. When his only son inherited the title, the Holy Spirit was merciful and did not demote him.

It's a pity that the new Uncle Wu Ping is a typical dandy. After Wu Ping's mansion was in his hands, it was completely ruined in just a few years.

Logically speaking, in a few years, Uncle Wu Ping would probably completely disappear among the nobles of the capital. But two years ago, Emperor Jingyong suddenly arranged for Liu Siqian to join the Imperial Guard.

It was said that he wanted to be re-employed, but Emperor Jingyong did not arrange a position for Liu Siqian, and after Liu Siqian joined the job, he did not interfere at all, as if he just suddenly knew that there was such a person and gave him a casual order.

After the nobles in the capital realized this, they stopped thinking about getting along well with Wu Ping's house, but their attitude was still better than before.

Just when Xiao Jin was thinking about Liu Siqian, Liu Siqian had already walked over and stopped in front of Xiao Jin.

Liu Siqian is different from his obscure father. To say the least, he is more like his grandfather, the original Uncle Wu Ping.

He is a low-key person, considerate in his work, and most importantly, he is calm and composed. He has been in the Imperial Guard for so long and has remained calm.

It was because of this that the commander of the Imperial Guard chose him as the leader to come to coastal counties.

When Liu Siqian heard the commander's instructions, he guessed the reason why he was appointed as the team leader.

He actually wanted to show that he was just not good at dealing with others, but he couldn't say it.

It was not easy for him to join the Imperial Guard. Now that he was rarely ordered to travel, he had to seize the opportunity.

So he lowered his head and looked like he was listening attentively, making the commander of the Guards even more satisfied with his decision.

Liu Siqian looked at Xiao Jin, cupped his hands and said, "Liu Siqian, Imperial Guard."

There is no clear rank for the ordinary guards in the Imperial Guard, but if you really want to count them, they start from the fifth rank.

And Xiao Jin is the county magistrate of the seventh rank, and Liu Siqian, no matter how bad he is, is also the young master of Wuping County.

He returned the gift with his hand raised and said: "Xiao Jin, the magistrate of Coastal County, has met Mr. Liu."

Liu Siqian's expression did not change, "Mr. Xiao, you're too polite. It's already past midnight. I wonder if our accommodation has been properly arranged?"

Now that they have arrived at the coastal county, if the timing had not been right, they would have gone straight to Luoshan Village to find Gu Su to read the holy edict.

Xiao Jin turned sideways slightly, raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, with a just right smile on his face, "The guest room is ready, Mr. Liu, please."

Liu Siqian nodded slightly, raised his hand to make a gesture, and led the guards behind him into the county government office.

Xiao Jin didn't try to please them too much. He briefly talked about their accommodation arrangements on the way, and when he arrived, he asked them if they wanted to have midnight snacks.

Liu Siqian shook his head and refused, "The Holy Lord's decree is important. We have been running around for a few days, and now we just want to rest first and go to Luoshan Village at dawn.

So it’s just a late night snack. Bring some hot water and let me wash up for a while. Besides..."

Liu Siqian lowered his voice and said a few words to Xiao Jin.

After hearing this, Xiao Jin quickly agreed and summoned a servant in front of Liu Siqian, asking him to take someone to the kitchen to fetch hot water.

After the servant left, he looked at Liu Siqian again and asked to leave, "That being the case, I will no longer bother Mr. Liu. As for the medicine, someone will send it to your house in a while."

Liu Siqian nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief after watching Xiao Jin leave.

The other imperial guards had already entered the house on their own, and the main room in the middle was tacitly reserved for Liu Siqian.

He lifted his legs and went in, took off his armor, and put the sword aside.

This was the first time he traveled far since he joined the Guards. He had been traveling all the way, and his body had accumulated a thick layer of dirt, and his face was covered with dust.

Especially the skin on the thighs has been worn out.

But he couldn't say it out loud, and he didn't dare to stop and rest.

He was the only "newcomer" on this mission, and he was also the team leader. If they knew that he was so "squeamish", they might have other ideas.

Liu Siqian lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and glanced at his lower body. The brown blood stains on his inner thighs were particularly obvious on his white underpants.

He endured the pain and sat down.

The servant who brought the hot water put the medicine in his arms, full of them.

After he put down the hot water, he took out the ointment, liquid for cleaning the wound, and gauze.

After receiving Xiao Jin's instructions, he just said: "Sir, the small things are on the table."

Liu Siqian nodded slightly, "Step back."

"yes".

The servant lowered his head and left, not forgetting to close the door at the same time.

I’ve been resting for too long and I can’t find my rhythm, so the updates are a bit slow. Sorry~
