The setting sun is warm.

Fu Han General's Mansion, front yard.

All the people coming in and out were officials and soldiers, and there were soldiers armed with spears, swords and wearing battle coats everywhere in the corridors and at the door.

These soldiers look like tigers and wolves, and everyone looks like an assassin.

The murderous aura soared straight into the sky.

If you didn't know better, you would have thought something happened. But in fact, this was just daily life in the Fuhan General's Mansion.

At the same time, Wu Nian was an enemy of Meng Yuan and Chu State. Xiang's head was worth ten thousand gold and he was granted the title of Marquis. If the security of General Fuhan's Mansion had not been tighter, assassins might actually have sneaked in.

As Wu Nian's generals, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and their officers would never allow this to happen.

Gate.

An official in green clothes stood in front of the door, looking up with an anxious expression. Suddenly his eyes lit up, he walked forward and said, "Master Zhang, you are finally here. The other two adults have been sitting there for half an hour."

The person who came was about twenty-seven or eighty years old, with a delicate face, fair complexion, and a slender and thin figure that seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind. He was wearing a blue gown and was very elegant.

Behind him were two long followers, one leading a small donkey, the other carrying a book box, and a team of eleven guards.

The visitor hugged the green-clothed official, bent down and apologized: "Master Li, I'm really sorry. Something happened on the way, which delayed the journey."

"Stop talking nonsense, come in quickly. General, Chang Shi has many things to do. It's not easy to find time to see you."

The official in green clothes seemed to have a very good relationship with the visitor. While talking casually, he grabbed the visitor's hand and walked into the general's mansion.

As for the long-term followers and guards, they will be arranged by other people.

The visitor's name is Zhang Haiping. He is twenty-eight years old and was born in Huanglong Prefecture, Liaodong. Before the Mongols invaded Liaodong, he was a scholar.

After the Mongol invasion, they fled to Beishan Fort. Because at that time, there were too many refugees in Beishan Fort and it was not easy to manage.

Wu Nian reorganized the refugees and established the most basic officials and pavilion chiefs.

Zhang Haiping was the head of the pavilion at that time. Later, Wu Nian led troops to fight with four ten thousand households and captured nine castles. After the war, he was promoted to the castle master.

Although he is young, he has very rich experience in grassroots governance.

This time Wu Nian asked Liu Zhixing to recommend officials and promote him to the county magistrate. Zhang Haiping was one of them.

Of course, the horoscope has not been revealed yet. Whether it will work out or not remains to be seen.

After all, Liu Zhixing only has the power to recommend, not to decide.

Power is in Wu Nian's hands.

Zhang Haiping was eager to get this opportunity. Although he was a scholar, his ability in reading was not outstanding. If he followed a normal life trajectory, the possibility of him passing the imperial examination, becoming a Jinshi, and then becoming a county magistrate was extremely slim.

The Mongolian people's march south was undoubtedly a disaster for the people of Liaodong.

But Wu Gong, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty, led them to fight against the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

He did his best to support him. And he unexpectedly discovered that he had the talent to be an official. This was a change of fate.

He hopes to seize this opportunity.

"Huh." Zhang Haiping took a deep breath, his expression became extremely serious, and his thin body held his head high as much as possible to make himself appear more energetic.

Soon, Zhang Haiping came to a small living room under the guidance of the Qingyi officials.

There is no one at the main seat.

On the chairs on the left and right, there is a person sitting on each side. He is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, has a round face, and looks very kind.

He looks like a man in his mid-twenties, has big eyes, sharp eyebrows, and tight lips. He doesn't look easy to mess with.

Zhang Haiping knew both of these people. The round-faced one was named Lu Sheng, who had a kind personality and outstanding abilities. The one with big eyes and sharp eyebrows was named Wang Youxiao, who had a strong personality and outstanding abilities.

The three of them were all officials who had been appointed when Wu Nian was in Beishan Fort. There were conflicts and cooperation between them at work.

After Zhang Haiping came in, he clasped his fists and raised his hands as a greeting to the two of them, then sat down on the second chair on the right.

Lu Sheng and Wang Youxiao also clasped their fists in return.

Lu Sheng and Zhang Haiping were sitting next to each other. He first raised his head and glanced at Wang Youxiao, then turned to Zhang Haiping and teased: "Master Zhang, you are finally here. I have been sitting with this guy opposite for half the time.

For an hour, I was really suffocated."

Zhang Haiping couldn't help laughing. Lu Sheng had a kind personality and talked a lot. Wang Youxiao had a strong personality and talked little.

These two guys sat next to each other and could only stare at each other.

And only Lu Sheng felt uncomfortable. Wang Youxiao didn't talk much, so he could just sit there for a whole day without speaking.

Wang Youxiao raised his head and glanced at Lu Sheng, but said nothing.

Zhang Haiping said with a smile: "Master Lu, I'm not talking about you. You can't help but want to talk because your practice is not enough. Master Wang is like a Buddha. Facing him can increase your endurance. He is

I helped you. How can you blame him?"

When Lu Sheng heard this, he rolled his eyes and muttered: "What a nonsense."

The two of them had become castle masters respectively, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time. As soon as they started talking, Lu Sheng couldn't stop chatting with Zhang Haiping.

"Sir Zhang, we are still competitors this time. Now we are assisting the Han Dynasty General's Mansion. The general and Chang Shi are like fish in water. Lord Chang Shi recommended us, although we haven't even written a word about it. But I guess, our

The seat of the county magistrate is already nailed to the iron plate."

"But they are both county magistrates. Jiang County, Yuan County and Ding County are very different."

Lu Sheng raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Haiping with a meaningful expression.

"Yes. Jiang County is the big county. I want to be the county magistrate in Jiang County and fulfill my ambition. Mr. Lu, just like you said, we are competitors now. Please don't talk to me."

Zhang Haiping smiled and joked.

Lu Sheng rolled his eyes. This is a very serious matter. Should this guy's tone be so lighthearted?

"Don't really think of me as a clay or wood carving in the temple." Wang Youxiao suddenly spoke, and he hit the nail on the head. "I also want to be the magistrate of Jiang County."

Zhang Haiping and Lu Sheng were both stunned. This wood and clay sculpture actually spoke?

But then, serious looks appeared on their faces.

It's all teasing, but Wang Youxiao is also very capable.

You must know that there are currently so many officials under the general's office of Fu Han, and there are only three positions for county magistrates. They can stand out from so many officials.

The reason is only four words.

Outstanding.

"There is a saying: Those who are capable will take over. The decision-making power lies in the hands of the general. When we meet the general later, we will each rely on our abilities. Let's fight for the official position of Jiang County Magistrate."

Zhang Haiping had a serious look on his face and clasped his fists towards the two of them.

"Don't worry. The magistrate of Jiang County must be mine." Lu Sheng's round face showed a look of confidence.
Chapter completed!
