After arriving in Wancheng, the contract with the caravan was fulfilled. Zheng Anping wrote a reply and asked the caravan to take it back to Chen State and hand it over to Hu Meng to settle the bill. The leader of the caravan instructed that since the Qin Dynasty established Nanyang County, it has been in

Nanyang implements Qin laws. People like Zheng Anping and his entourage who are new to Nanyang and do not have festival rules must first report to Wancheng County and obtain identification documents, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward. Zheng Anping quickly asked for advice on how to obtain identification documents, and the caravan did not know. They

I wanted to find a NiLv hotel to stay at first, but as expected, I agreed to the merchant’s advice that no one would be allowed to move in without a name! Mang Wei was well versed in human nature, so he quietly stuffed a handful of money into his pocket and asked how to apply for a NiLv registration. As soon as the NiLv owner was happy, he applied for one.

The strategy was revealed. After discussing with the owner of Nilv, Zheng Anping took Mang Wei and Chen Si to apply for registration, while the others stayed in front of Nilv for the time being. Although it was not considered a hotel, they had a place to stay.

In the center of Wancheng, Zheng Anping and his party found the county government. They did not go in directly, but found a nearby wine shop and told the owner of the wine shop that they were here to register. The owner of the wine shop understood and ordered the cook to prepare wine and food.

While going out to the road to watch, he saw a scribe passing by, so he went up to invite him into the wine shop.

The scribe also understood what was going on, and met with Zheng Anping and sat down together. Zheng Anping said: "I am from the Wei Dynasty. When I heard that the Qin Dynasty was recruiting talents, I brought my whole family to apply. I didn't dare to call talents, but I dared to apply for dogs and horses.

effect."

After hearing Zheng Anping's words, the scribe smiled and said, "Sir, Mr. He, where do you come from, and how many people are accompanying you?"

Zheng Anping said: "My name is Anping, I lived in Zheng in the past and lived in Daliang. I want to imitate Wei Yang, Zhang Yi's story, and join the Qin Dynasty to serve in order to gain fame!"

The scribe said: "Mr. Zheng studies? Practices martial arts?"

Zheng Anping said: "I don't dare to talk about learning, but I have entered Xiangxu; I don't dare to talk about martial arts, but I have learned to shoot and defend."

The clerk said: "If you pass the exam, it will not be difficult for you to become a naturalized citizen. Five days later, sir, I will take the exam at the school grounds. If you win, you will be admitted."

Zheng Anping said: "I came alone with my family. What should I do in these five days?"

The scribe said: "It's okay. After drinking, I'll write the festival talisman with you and feel at ease!"

Zheng Anping said: "I am so grateful." He knelt forward and secretly thrust a money bag into the scribe's hand.

The owner of the wine shop over there saw that things had become harmonious and put the wine on the table. When he was young, he had several tables in each shop, each with a tripod and two gui. Although Nanyang is a Qin county, the customs are the same as those in Chu, which is very different from Qin. The guis are filled with rice.

, there is fish and shrimp soup in the tripod.

After drinking, the scribe took out a talisman from his sleeve, with the title "Wan County" in seal script. The scribe asked Ming how many of his entourage, men, women, old and young, etc., wrote below it: "This is Wei Yewuxian Zheng Anping."

"He is eight feet seven inches long, with a black face and short beard. He is accompanied by five people, three men, one woman and one child, and he must be living in Wan County temporarily." He handed the festival talisman to Zheng Anping and left. Zheng Anping smiled bitterly.

In order to wait for the books, Zheng Anping and the others had to stay in Wancheng for five days. During these five days, many people entered Wancheng to do business or look for jobs, and some like Zheng Anping were recruited by the recruitment list.

. Zheng Anping asked about the news in Daliang. Someone actually knew that Guan Ling's family had been killed. It took several days for the body to be found in the river. Zheng Anping asked who Guan Ling was, but no one knew.

Five days later, a falcon was set up at the school field outside the city, and the county captain presided over the archery skills assessment. All those who applied for martial arts skills came to take the exam on this day. Usually there are one or two people in five days, but on this day there was only one person, Zheng Anping. Early in the morning

, the scribe came to Nilu where Zheng Anping lived, took him into the county house, selected four horses in the stables, and hitched a cart. The county captain was on the left, the scribe was on the right, and Zheng Anping drove the car. There was a small flag on the cart.

, a small drum, the county lieutenant sounded the drum, and the car smoothly left the mansion gate; ten county soldiers were waiting outside the mansion gate, and when they saw the car coming out, they all followed the car to protect it. Under the instructions of the county lieutenant, Zheng Anping drove in

We walked around the busiest streets in the center of the county, and the drums were beating loudly, attracting many people, especially children, to follow and watch. Everyone knew that they were going to choose a martial artist.

Xiaonu and others did not enter the house, but came to the school field early to cheer for Zheng Anping. As the drum beat was announced, many people gathered. When they were approaching the school field, the county captain's drums suddenly accelerated, and Zheng Anping shook the reins.

The bridle, the four horses changed from a slow trot to a fast trot, the flags were flying, and with the sound of drums, the carriage drove into the school field. Under the order of the county captain's drum beat, it circled the field, came to the front of the stage, and stopped cleanly. Outside the field

The onlookers cheered in unison.

The county lieutenant said to the scribe: "Excellent driving skills!" Then he raised a small flag, and the ten county soldiers scattered around the falcon. The county lieutenant handed the bow and arrow on the cart to Zheng Anping and asked him to stand on the cart and shoot arrows.

With the sound of drums, Zheng Anping shot three arrows in a row, and the spectators outside the field cheered in unison. The county soldiers came over carrying the falcon, and all three arrows hit the falcon. Everyone witnessed it. The county captain said again: "Excellent shooting skills

!”

After receiving two honors in a row, the county lieutenant raised his hand to Zheng Anping and said: "A strong man entering the Qin Dynasty is a blessing to the Qin Dynasty. In the future, getting wealth and honor will be like picking up mustard ears!" Zheng Anping saluted in the car.

None of the three people got out of the car. The original car returned to the county house, and the county soldiers followed behind carrying the falcon. After entering the county house, the county captain asked Zheng Anping to stay with him. Since they were two outstanding people, the county magistrate might encourage him and reward him. Sure enough,

, not long after, the county magistrate sent an order to Zheng Anping to come in.

When Zheng Anping entered the mansion, he was greeted by the county magistrate on the steps and the county captain stood behind him. The county magistrate praised Zheng Anping a few words and gave him a thousand dollars, a belt and a girdle. Zheng Anping thanked him and the scribe will finish the writing.

The county magistrate handed over his name to Zheng Anping personally and said: "As soon as Mr. Xianyang enters Xianyang, he will be promoted to a noble rank and become an official, and he will rise like the sun!"

Zheng Anping handed back his temporary passport, took the name book, and said: "As I said, it's all a gift from Wan County!" The two resigned. The clerk sent Zheng Anping back to Nilv, and Zheng Anping gave all the ten pieces of dried meat.

Got the scribe.

When they arrived at Nilv, Xiao Nu and others had also returned. Gai Nie, Wu Wang and Chen Si all looked admired. Although Mang Wei was not worshipful, he was also full of excitement. The Nilv master had long known that Zheng Anping had scored two top grades in a row. With him,

He is well-informed and well-informed. Although the two superiors cannot be called rare, they can be regarded as the best among men, so they naturally flatter them.

After paying off the rent, the host treated them to a breakfast (Zheng Anping and the others ate the food they brought with them these days), helped hire a car, and the group left Wancheng and headed straight to the mouth of the Danshui River.

There he hired a boat and sailed upstream to Shang County.

Going up Danshui River, Zheng Anping experienced the most thrilling days in his life. He saw countless rapids and shoals, as well as countless beautiful canyons. He got off the boat countless times and watched the boatman drag the boat from the land through an unnavigable stretch of the river.

We boarded the boat again. After passing the school scene, Xiaonu looked at Zheng Anping differently. Although he didn't get too close in front of everyone, he always sat next to Zheng Anping intentionally or unintentionally.

When the boat arrived at Tankou, everyone got off the boat and paid back the boat money. Nearly half of the thousand coins given by the Wancheng County Magistrate had been spent. This group of people had never been to Qin State, and now they were in a mountain depression. No one knew what to do.

How to enter Qin? The final result of the discussion was that we had to go to the county seat first and then think of a way.

The county seat is not far away and can be reached in a moment. After entering the city and checking the registration, Zheng Anping found a home to stay while traveling on the road, and asked the owner how to get to Xianyang.

The Zheng pronunciation of Zheng Anpingcao is very different from the Qin pronunciation of Shangdi, and the host of the reverse traveler cannot understand or explain it clearly. But here in Shang County, there are few business travelers, most of them are farmers, and few people go out, so there is no one who can understand Zheng's pronunciation.

who.

Just at this time, a county official came in and said to the inbound traveler: "If there is anyone coming from Guandong, be sure to ask carefully whether it is Zheng's family. If so, report it to the official immediately."

The host of the Ni brigade seemed to have seen a savior and said: "These people all came from the east of Guandong. They don't understand the Qin language and can't understand the language."

The county official came over, bowed, and asked, "May I ask where the Hakka come from?" He actually used the Zheng sound.

Zheng Anping quickly showed his name and said: "I, Mr. Zheng, came from Liang Dynasty after hearing that Qin was recruiting talents."

When the county officials saw that the name written on the name book was actually "Zheng Anping", they couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "How dare you be the Zheng Anping of Daliang who was once in charge of the order?"

When Zheng Anping saw this question, he knew there must be a reason, and quickly replied: "It's just Wei Shu!"

The county official said: "Today I received instructions from the Prime Minister's Mansion and ordered those who are looking for Zheng's peace in Daliang to be sent to Beijing by car. I don't expect to meet you!"

Zheng Anping asked strangely: "Why did the prime minister know that we are here today?"

The county official said: "The prime minister's eyes and ears are all over the world, how can he not know it? I hope Brother Zheng will come to the county with us."

Zheng Anping didn't know what was going on, but the matter had come to this, and he had to go. The county officials did not allow the group to stay in Nilv, so they took them to Guanyi first, and arranged a row of side rooms for the group to stay first; he took Zheng Anping with him

Come to the county government.

When they arrived at the gate of the county government, the county official asked Zheng Anping to wait outside the door while he went in to report. When he was young, the county magistrate came out and asked, "Are you Zheng Anping?"

Zheng Anping replied: "Of course!"

The county magistrate asked: "Who is traveling with us?"

Zheng Anping said: "The wife is a slave, the concubine is five prosperous, Gai Nie, the guest Chen Si, doing nothing."

The county magistrate said: "What you said is correct. Please invite Mrs. Zheng to come into the house."

Zheng Anping was confused. What does "what he said is correct" mean? Did the county magistrate know in advance that I was going to bring these people? He couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the Qin people: Can these people figure it out? It was too late to figure it out.

He had already followed the county magistrate through the door, and when he reached the front steps of the hall, the county magistrate asked him to wait a moment, and then he went up to the hall. When he was young, he came out and said: "Zheng Zi has come from afar to work hard, and will stay in the post for a day. I am the captain of the imperial city who is coming to visit me."

I will protect my son and go to Xianyang."

Zheng Anping said: "How can a humble commoner dare to work for a county captain?"

The county magistrate said: "Don't you dare to disobey the orders of the prime minister's office!" Then he called the county official and said, "Zheng Zi doesn't understand Qin's pronunciation. You can follow him to understand his meaning." The county official responded and said:

Zheng Anping said politely: "Zheng Zi, if he has any need, he will only order his ministers to do it."

Zheng Anping said: "May I ask about your honorific title?"

The county official said: "I don't belong to the Shang family."

Zheng Anping said: "Brother, no need for hard work!"

The county official said: "I don't dare to accept it. But it is not possible to call me a merchant."
