"Second Master, today the villain saw someone from the capital entering the county government office, and then the county master sat alone in the study room for half a day."

Geng Ping was thinking about something when the door suddenly got knocked, and he walked in and whispered.

This person has been promoted to the most wealthy household rank of the county government.

Both of them were promoted by Li Xu. Although one was an official and the other was an official, because they both used the same benefactor, they naturally formed a united front.

Geng Ping raised his head, called Ma Sili to sit down, and signaled him to eat watermelon.

Ma Sili thanked him and quickly finished gnawing a piece of watermelon, then waited for Geng Ping to ask questions.

"How do you know that the man came from Beijing?"

Ma Sili said: "Although that man was wearing casual clothes for walking, the villain on his head recognized the sunscreen hat, which was sold in Miaoyizhai, the capital. The villain had gone to the capital for his office once before, and happened to buy one for his wife at home, so he recognized it."

"Also, when the man entered the door, he said one by one, which was the accent of the capital, so the little man thought he was from the capital."

Geng Ping nodded. This Ma Sili was a little capable, and he was still very careful in observing it.

"Where is that person now?" Geng Ping asked.

"After entering the Houya, the man left the city not long after, without even taking a bite of food, and had been covering his appearance, obviously afraid of showing his signs."

"What's the situation now for the county magistrate?" Geng Ping asked again.

"After sitting in half a day, the county master asked someone to send a cup of tea in, and then told him to prepare a car and go out of the city to inspect tomorrow."

Geng Ping squinted his eyes and pondered.

People from the capital came to sit for half a day and were going to go out to inspect the city again?

What exactly is this Tanxianzun going to do?

After a moment, he said, "Forget it, go back to the county government. If there is anything unusual, come and report it to me as soon as possible."

Ma Sili bowed to accept the order and was about to leave, but Geng Ping said, "Working with your heart, I will remember all your contributions. General Li will definitely reward him in the future."

Ma Sili smiled and hurriedly thanked him, turned around and left.

After Ma Sili left, Geng Ping sat in the room and pondered for a while before calling someone to call his younger brother Geng Liang.

"Second, take some people to the county town to inspect the road to Lijiazhuang. If you encounter someone who wants to go to Lijiazhuang, you must detain them first."

Geng Liang asked in a silly manner, "But someone wants to harm County Li?"

Although his brother is now a county lieutenant, Geng Ping still calls Li Xu the county lieutenant.

Geng Ping didn't care and nodded, "It's just that there is a possibility, you just go."

Geng Liang patted his chest and shouted: "Brother, don't worry. If there is really a thief who dares to harm County Li, I will definitely kill him early."

After arranging the journey, Geng Ping arranged for the people who would follow Tan Shu's car tomorrow, and then went to other city gates for a tour. After not finding any abnormalities, he returned to his own tent in the Township Yong Camp.

As a county magistrate, he naturally had his own small courtyard in the county government, which was the one that Li Xu used before.

However, when Li Xu left, he told him that he must control the military power of the Township Yong Camp, so if Geng Ping did not have any special circumstances, he usually lived in the military camp at night.

Although Li Xu took away two thousand of his own subordinates when he went to the capital, there were still one thousand subordinates left as Geng Ping's team to control the village's courage camp.

Relying on these thousand Li Xu's direct descendants and personal abilities, Geng Ping successfully mastered the village Yongying Camp.

Although he does not have the prestige of Li Xu, he is still a well-deserved county magistrate.

Of course, the premise is that Geng Ping has no other ideas.

If he had other ideas, the first person to stand up against him might be the Sanqian Township Yongying in the Township Yongying Camp.

It is said that it is a local tyrant. After a series of battles with the bandits and Li Xu's training and influence, these 3,000 people are already considered the largest and most elite army in the northern Guanzhong court.

It's just that it's nominally from the court, but if the court really wants to mobilize and command this army, it's basically impossible to do without Li Xu's nod.

By then, once the Tang army commands the troops south, the army will transform from the Qin army to the Tang army.

Although Tan Shu suspected that Li Xu was a spy sent by Tang Hou to the court, he never expected that the elite town camp that he thought could be used as a supporter was also Tang Hou's reserve army.

As long as he dares to make any changes, Tan Shu will probably be the first Qin County Magistrate to be captured by the Tang army.

...

No one expected that Tan Shu would escape from his shell with a move.

The person sitting in the car that the county magistrate prepared for travel was not Tan Shu, but his servant.

Not long after Tan Shu left the city, he disguised himself as a escort and rode out of the city with two guards as traveling merchants. He walked outside the city for a long time to make sure no one followed him before turning his head and heading north.

Such caution is not because he noticed any danger, but because the mission of this trip is really important. Once it is leaked, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court.

Not to mention him, a small seventh-rank county magistrate, even Song Mu, the chief minister, would be involved in a huge whirlpool of public opinion.

It is precisely because of this that he had to act cautiously and secretly go to Yan'an Prefecture.

Nowadays, the comfort of riding a car is really not as good as riding a horse.

Moreover, Yan'an Prefecture is mostly mountainous, with bumpy roads, and riding a car is not as convenient as riding a horse.

The three of them rushed north with fear and fear for three days. The scorching sun above their heads and loess was flying under their feet. Tan Shu, a gentleman, had become covered in dust, his lips were chapped, and his originally fair skin became much rougher and darker.

"What territory are you going to now? How far is it?"

Tan Shu stopped the horse, took off the water bag hanging next to the saddle and took a sip, and asked, panting.

"Report to the county master, you should have entered Luochuan County now, and it will take at least five days to go to Yan'an Prefecture City."

An escort looked at the surroundings and replied.

"It will take five more days?" Tan Shu felt that he could not hold on.

After several years of being an official, I have never experienced such hardships, and I just simply rushed to the road.

Fortunately, I have been safe all the way in the past three days and have not encountered any bandits and robbers. It is already extremely lucky.

Looking up at the sun, the scorching sun was poisonous. Tan Shu felt that if he continued to rush on, he might have fucked the weather before he saw the Tang Marquis.

"First find a shaded place to rest, wait a little cooler before rushing."

Tan Shu jumped off his horse, got into a small forest on the side of the road, found a big tree with lush branches and leaves, sat under the tree, opened his clothes regardless of his image, took off his hat and fanned the wind.

The two guards checked around and found no abnormalities. They also found a place to sit down and rest.

People are always particularly prone to sleepiness in summer afternoons.

After eating some dry food, Tan Shu leaned against the big tree and took a nap, and then even had a dream.

In his dream, he saw Li Xu wearing a black helmet and black armor smiling at him, and a big flag with the word "Tang" sounded behind him.

There was a row of people kneeling not far away, and the one in the lead was His Majesty the Emperor.

The second one is the Prime Minister with a smirk.

The rest of the people looked at each of them and were all famous bosses in the court.

Tan Shu was shocked and tried desperately to shout, but found that he could not speak at all.

Then he saw Li Xu in front of him suddenly pull out a long knife and roared: "Tan Shu, you have ruined my good deeds, die!"

Seeing the long sword slashing at him, Tan Shu was shocked and finally shouted: "Don't kill me!"

He was shocked and then woke up, only to realize that it was a dream.

"I have been too worried these days, so I have such a nightmare."

Tan Shu gasped and relaxed.

But when he looked up at the front, he was shocked to find that there was a group of soldiers with black helmets and black armor surrounding him, pointing at him with a cold face.

And his two guards had already fallen to the ground, not knowing how to live or die.
