The people in the Iron Horse City in the southwest of Cangzhou know that Feng Ying, the guard of this border city, was originally a military strategist in the heartland of Central China, and had a great future. However, because of his fighting spirit, he not only lost his left arm, but also went to the border to become a foreign general with only 500 troops under his command.

Two years ago, Li Buzhuo, who wanted to make a fortune, joined Feng Ying's army. He heard the down-and-out general who regarded the order forbidden alcohol as nothing and cursed many times after being drunk, and finally learned about his past.

This unkempt greasy man was the best among the younger generation of Youzhou military geniuses. He ranked among the top three in the county and government examinations. He was too arrogant and disliked each other with Bai Yi, a Taoist genius son who was known as the "Little True Lord" at that time. He even fought because of a quarrel when he was drinking flower wine.

At that time, Feng Ying was in a hot mind and made a bet with Bai Yi, the leader of the state test. The loser broke one of his arms and went to guard the border for ten years.

Later, Feng Ying was defeated and killed his left arm, becoming the outer general guarding Iron Horse City. He brought his five hundred scattered soldiers to the cracks between Zhusha Desert and Ganyuan, resisting the Dog Feng, Jingren, Xuangu and other strange countries, living a life of waiting for the day and dying.

When Li Buzhuo asked in Youzhou, he found that Bai Yi, who was known as the Xiaozhen Lord, was now a great general in the direct prison of the Xinfengfu Prefecture in Youzhou, and was in charge of the criminal prison of the Xinfengfu Prefecture.

The fifth-rank official at the foot of the Tiangong is still in real power, and is more than ten times more than the seventh-rank outer altar general of Feng Ying's side.

At this moment, standing in front of a red painted gold nail gate, Li Buzhuo looked up at the plaque "The Mansion of the God of Prison" on the lintel of the sage pattern of the divine beast, and found it very interesting.

Feng Ying, who often lie on the city wall and greets Bai Yi's family with a confusing drink, often greets Bai Yi's family with the yellow sand all over the sky. The letter of recommendation written to Li Buzhuo was Bai Yi?

Li Buzhuo felt that Feng Ying was probably playing tricks on him. Although Feng Ying boasted of his ambitions, he often did ridiculous things. His hobby was to hold an unblocked meeting with his soldiers and those beautiful and charming dog lovers who were captured by his own dogs. He seemed to have given up on himself.

However, Li Buzhuo still has hope for this letter of recommendation.

Two months ago, Li Buzhuo led a banner of fifty-six people to repel the corpse of Jingren Guo Plough? (pronounced "Ling") and made great contributions. On that day, Feng Ying brought the soldiers and the soldiers to drink very much. Li Buzhuo did not drink any wine and returned to the tent to study. In the middle of the night, Feng Ying, who was originally drunk, came to his tent.

"You don't forget to study in the army. You have a great ambition. Do you want to take the Qi Refiner exam? But in the remote areas of Cangzhou, even if you pass the Qi Refiner exam, you are far less promising than the Qi Refiner from Middle Earth. You shouldn't be buried here."

That night, Feng Ying wrote a letter of recommendation to Li Buzhuo, asking him to go to Youzhou for an exam, and at the same time reminded that this matter should not be mentioned to anyone.

Li Buzhuo was very moved, but after that night, Feng Ying used all kinds of inexplicable reasons to suppress and exclude the military.

Li Buzhuo knew that Feng Ying had other intentions, but he really couldn't guess it thoroughly.

Now he has asked the janitor to send the letter to the mansion of the God of the Direct Prison. At present, he can only wait for Bai Yi's reaction.

Not long after, the guardian soldiers wearing black iron armor returned and signaled Li Buzhuo to enter the mansion.

"God General is welcome."

…………

The study room of the God of Prison Mansion.

Bai Yi, wearing a white tiger with shoulders and a black suit with fire clouds, and a scholarly styled dress, gently pinched a corner of the recommendation letter with his fingers and hung it on the candlelight of the copper turtle seat candlestick, watching the letter paper gradually burning.

"People who Feng Ying is willing to take risks and recommend..."

He was destined to show his deity, and the embers of the letter paper seemed to have wings, and they obediently entered the narrow grille of the filigree gilded incense burner.

A moment later, Li Buzhuo was taken to the study.

People rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold clothes. Li Buzhuo came to the God General's Mansion. It was not a big deal to be covered in dust. After taking a bath in the hall, he endured the pain in the morning and bought a clean black-edged round-necked shirt, blue cloth shoes, and a black ribbon tied hair, at least it looked neat and neat.

"sit."

Bai Yi turned his head to the chair beside the study, signaling Li Buzhuo to sit down, and asked, "Are you familiar with the "Cantonese of Heavenly Palace" to take the imperial examination for the Legalists?"

"I want to take the Taoist Qi Refiner exam." Li Buzhuo sat down openly.

"Why?"

"Among the hundreds of schools, Taoist Qi Refiners are the most important to their own practice, which is where my ambition lies."

"Oh, then why do you carefully study the classic "Canton of Heavenly Palace" of the Legalists? People have limited energy and you have not yet cultivated your energy. It is not good to be greedy for greatness and seek completeness."

"The more prosperous the place, the more dangerous it is. I have no background or strength. I must restrain myself from overshooting the line."

"What Feng Ying taught you?" Bai Yi raised his eyebrows.

It is not surprising that the young men who came out of the border town have experienced the tempering of wind, sand and life and death, are more calm and restrained than the Middle Earth people. However, they have never been to Middle Earth, but they read the "Chiang Palace Constitution" as if they had predicted it, and prevented people's hearts from happening. This is no longer the scheming that young people should have.

"It was General Feng's advice."

Li Buzhuo lied.

"He does value you very much." Bai Yi sighed: "He asked me to recommend you to the county school. This is not difficult, but you need an exam. Can a relative in Youzhou protect your household registration?"

Li Buzhuo did not hide it, and told him about his relationship with the Li family. Finally, he said: "Mrs. Li family and I have old grudges, and I plan to go to the black market to find someone to protect us."

"no."

Bai Yi directly rejected it.

There are two ways for candidates to prove their origins. One is to seek guarantees from local relatives, and the other is to find three household owners who settled locally and owned a house deed to perform "joint security". The guarantors found in the black market are actually the latter's intermediaries.

"Although I was not explicitly prohibited from finding an agent as a security, it was also a taint to be known by someone. I sent someone to Li's house to send a message. Li Wuyu should know how to do it when he knows the situation. You don't have to worry about it. As for the county school, I will write a souvenir to recommend the county school professor to you. Come and help me grind ink."

Li Buzhuo thanked him and felt relieved.

Perhaps because he is in the prevailing direction, or because Taoism advocates the inconvenience of tranquility and inaction, Bai Yi's performance in previous years is much more generous and indifferent than Feng Ying's grievances.

When helping Bai Yi grind the ink, Li Buzhuo couldn't help but take a look at the inkstone carved into the shape of a Pisces.

Listening to Chaoshi Stones can gather water vapor, Listening to Chaoshi Stone inkstones will not dry up after years of storage, and will not be frozen during cold. It is a treasure that is difficult to buy with money.

Bai Yi stroked his finger, cut a piece of letter paper, dipped ink and hovered over the letter paper, and said, "You were recommended by Feng Ying, and I want to test you too. This fir tree outside the window was specially transplanted from my master's sect. Unfortunately, it is almost the beginning of autumn and there is no green color. I will just give a sentence. If you can follow it, I will not only give you a more praise in this souvenir to the county school professor, but also give you a reward."

"Please make a statement by the general." Li Buzhuo looked at the fir tree outside the window, and the sharp leaves were already withered and yellow.

"You listen, the previous sentence is 'The end of the jade branches', I will give you a stick of incense..."

Before Bai Yi finished speaking, Li Buzhuo replied: "The rusty sword is buried in the wind!"

"The jade branches are over, and the rust sword is buried in the wind..." Bai Yi chewed it, "Not bad! I thought you would force yourself to say sorrow. It was beyond my expectations that you could express the aura of autumn killing!"

Bai Yi's pen was like a dragon and snake, and wrote a few lines of words and handed it to Li Buzhuo. Then he took out a gold ticket from the table: "Take it and go to Datong Money House to get ten gold coins. After entering the county school, don't study hard, make more friends in the same year and broaden your connections. Be frugal when you are alone, but be generous in front of outsiders. You should not be extravagant in food and clothing, but don't be underestimated."

Before Li Buzhuo could speak, Bai Yi blinked his fingers and the gold ticket flew into Li Buzhuo's arms, and then waved his hand: "There are loans and repayments, and I will calculate interest with you in the future. I still have business to deal with, so you can go first."

"Thank you, General. After I pass the Qi Refining Master, I will come to visit my house again."

Li Buzhuo was moved, bowed, turned around and went out.

Bai Yi suddenly said, "When you leave this door, don't tell anyone that you are recommended by Feng Ying, and don't have anything to do with him."

What is the trick between Feng Ying and Bai Yi? Li Buzhuo was stunned. As soon as he turned around, Bai Yi asked again: "Outsiders asked how you knew me, how do you answer?"

Li Buzhuo thought for a while and replied, "After the Great Heat, the student met the God General on the Shenji Street and wrote a poem. He was fortunate to be appreciated by the God General and recommended me to study in the county. How about it?"
