Chapter Fourteen The Olive Branch

In the hot summer, the inn had a bad night.

There was no air conditioner or fan, only a palm-leaf fan, but it could not drive away the stuffiness in the house, and there were still mosquitoes flying around. Perhaps it was not just because of the weather, or the irritation. He tossed and turned in the bed this night, and his clothes were wet with sweat. Finally, he had to run to the well in the backyard one night and dig the well and cooled down three times.

After dawn, Liu Jun packed up his luggage and was unwilling to stay here for a moment.

Check out, checkout.

When I turned around, I saw a familiar figure sitting in the inn lobby early in the morning drinking tea.

Li Chunjiang sat there wearing a moon-white robe, lifting his chin slightly, with a leisurely expression, as if no one was around, and as peaceful as leisurely.

Because of Liu Chengqi's birthday, many guests were checked in this inn, both local and foreign, and no one didn't know this young master Chunjiang. The nephew of the four ministers, the most outstanding person among the younger generation of the Li family in Macheng. It is rumored that next year, the Li family genius will definitely win the scholar.

But no one could approach Li Chunjiang sat there drinking tea, but there were eight burly men standing around him, and his whole body exuded a sense of solemnity and indifference that no one could approach others.

Liu Jun was a little surprised. When he saw Li Chunjiang for the first time, he suddenly felt that Li Chunjiang was waiting for him.

However, he and Li Chunjiang could only be said to be a one-time relationship, nodding, what is Li Chunjiang waiting for him here?

Li Chunjiang put down the teacup, stood up, and bowed to him.

Liu Jun returned the gift, and then waited for Li Chunjiang to continue saying something.

But Li Chunjiang did not immediately explain the purpose of the trip, but just looked at Liu Jun up and down, which made Liu Jun feel a little embarrassed. It is said that most ancient Chinese scholars were as fond of Longyang and liked to split their peaches and cut off their sleeves. Their little scholars were often their friends. Li Chunjiang was very elegant and quiet, might he have this hobby?

"I'm leaving." Liu Jun finally broke the silence and started to do it.

"I'll give you a gift." Li Chunjiang said, "I'll invite you to have a cup of tea. The tea in this inn is OK."

The inn guy came over and brought Liu Jun a pot of new tea. The tea was poured out, and the guy left.

"You're going back now?"

"Well, Suokouhe can't accommodate me."

Li Chunjiang said, "Then what are your plans next?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I'll do some business." Liu Jun said. He really didn't know what to do next, and his mind was in a mess. Doing business was just a casual talk, but it was not impossible. If you can't become an official, then make more money. Even in troubled times, money will always have some effect.

"If you go to do business, that's a waste." Li Chunjiang said, "Why don't you go to take the martial arts exam?"

Liu Jun shook his head, but did not explain much.

"I will take the exam next year, but it's still early, so I have a plan and hope you can go with me."

Liu Jun was surprised, "What plan?"

"Do you know about the Baoshengbao Township Group of Shenzhuang?"

"The former Gansu Governor Mei Gong Office was established, and it often suppressed bandits and robbers, protected the country and safeguarded the people, and praised them for their praise." Liu Jun said truthfully.

Li Chunjiang smiled and said to him with some excitement, "I plan to go to Baoshengbao Township Group to experience it. Uncle Mei has agreed. I want to invite you to go with you."

Liu Jun looked up at Li Chunjiang, then slowly rolled his eyes, feeling that this young master Chunjiang was so idle. You are a good juren and a famous talented man. If you don’t study well at home, you will go to the countryside landlords and gentry armed militia to experience it. This is not idle pain.

Li Chunjiang, who was drinking tea, did not expect to receive such a reply and was extremely surprised. He never expected that Liu Jun, who was the most mature and steady in his eyes, would have such an expression.

Liu Jun was thinking, what can I learn from the militia group if I have nothing to do?

Besides, what does Li Chunjiang mean when he asked him to go with him? Do you want him to be a bodyguard like the eight strong men in front of him?

Interestingly, Li Chunjiang seems to have such a meaning.

After drinking the tea in the cup, Li Chunjiang reached out and patted Liu Jun on the shoulder, "I admire you very much!"

Although Li Chunjiang is far more mature than his peers, he sat with Liu Jun and looked much tenderer than Liu Jun. When he said this to Liu Jun with that elder-like tone, Liu Jun really wanted to laugh.

However, thinking about the other party’s background and current identity as a juren, I held back and replied, “Thank you!”

"No need to say thank you, have you considered it?"

“What to consider?”

"Follow me to Baoshengbao Township Group to experience it."

"What kind of training method?"

Li Chunjiang swung his hand and opened the ladies' folding fan brush. He shook it gently, "I am going to build a patrol team, and there are not many people. Fifty elites are enough. I don't need Mei Shibo's people. I personally select and recruit this team, and then train strictly according to the military strategy, and then pull it out to suppress the bandits and destroy the thieves."

"You mean I am your little brother?"

"What brother, I am the deputy? I personally serve as the head of the patrol team. You are the deputy team. How about it? Isn't it good?" Li Chunjiang said with a smile.

"That's your little brother."

"You can just follow me in the future, don't care about those details." Li Chunjiang said. He was also an arrogant person. He felt that Liu Jun was angry with him, so he wanted to promote Liu Jun as his team deputy and promote him well.

Liu Jun was a little amused and cried. It was not a problem to be with Li Chunjiang, but there was a problem that was very critical. Li Chunjiang went to the militia just to experience it. To be nice, it was to experience it. To be ugly, it was probably to participate in a summer camp, which was an adventure game in the wild. Li Chunjiang will take the imperial examination in February next year, so this experience will last at most half a year. Half a year later, Li Chunjiang patted his butt and left, and went to take the Jinshi exam. What about himself?

"You will go to the conference next year, what about me?" Liu Jun asked.

"You go to participate in the martial arts exam, too." Li Chunjiang said naturally, "You are a martial arts student now. When it is September this autumn, you can go to the martial arts exam. With your ability, you will definitely pass it. Then you will go to the martial arts exam again. At the end of the year, we will go to Beijing together. At that time, I will take the literary exam. If you take the martial arts exam, we will all pass the Jinshi. Wouldn't it be better?"

Liu Jun thought to himself, you are the one who is the imperial examination. If you say you pass the imperial examination, you will be the juren, and if you pass the imperial examination, you will be the juren. If you pass the imperial examination, you will be the juren.

"Don't hesitate, pack your luggage and let's go to Shenzhuang."

Liu Jun wanted to refuse, but when he saw Li Chunjiang's enthusiasm, he didn't want to discourage him. After all, Li Chunjiang is not small and he just didn't hold the Liu family's thigh. If he could have a good relationship with Mr. Chunjiang, it would be nice to have some relationship with the Li family. As for going to the militia, let's have a little bit of work. Anyway, Li Chunjiang has only been practicing for half a year. After thinking about it, he finally nodded, "Okay, but I have to go back to Xiwan first and notify my family."

"This is the right thing. I'll go with you and visit my uncle by the way." Li Chunjiang made a very familiar decision, and then he called his eight servants to help Liu Jun get their luggage and set off immediately.
