Chapter sixty-ninth misfortune and good fortune
The governor's office of the Han Empire was like the military regions at all levels in their previous lives. The governor's office was equivalent to the commander of the military regions at all levels. If Pingxi County was regarded as a municipal unit, the governor's office of Pingxi County was equivalent to the commander of the municipal military region.
There are some standing troops under the Governor's Office and many organizations. In peacetime, the standing troops under the Governor's Office are responsible for various garrison tasks, while in wartime, the Governor's Office is responsible for filling up all the organizational units.
Similarly, the Governor's Office is also under the leadership of the county magistrate, and the Governor's Office at the county level must also be responsible to the Governor's Office.
While recalling the information about the Governor's Mansion that he knew in his mind, Yan Liqiang followed Shi Changfeng into the Governor's Mansion, and at the same time guessed in his heart that he didn't know why the Governor's Mansion had to see such an unknown man.
The Governor's Mansion had a strong atmosphere, with high walls and large houses, and fully armed soldiers were standing guard everywhere, and officers from all levels were also on the way. One officer brought Shi Changfeng and Yan Liqiang into a living room of the Governor's Mansion, and asked the two of them to wait here, without even having tea, and then left.
There were two soldiers standing at the door of the living room. In the middle of the living room, there was a majestic picture of the tiger roaring the mountain. The main seat of the living room was empty, and the other furnishings were simple and clear, with a strong military style. Yan Liqiang sat in the lower seat of Shi Changfeng, looking at the environment here everywhere. When he saw the picture of the tiger roaring the mountain, he naturally thought of the part in the Water Margin when Lin Chong was deceived into the White Tiger Hall. Then he laughed in his heart. A small person like him was not worthy of a dignified general. He secretly looked at Shi Changfeng's face and found that Shi Changfeng's face was not solemn, nor did he look worried. Then he felt relieved.
"Teacher, I don't know why the Governor wanted to see me?" Seeing that there was no one around, Yan Liqiang asked Shi Changfeng in a low voice.
"Do you know how much the Shatu people in Pingxi City made yesterday?" Shi Changfeng looked at Yan Liqiang with a smile on his face. "And he heard that the person who made this news was the first in the National Arts Examination in Qinghe County. Naturally, the general supervisor wanted to meet him!"
Yan Liqiang laughed dryly and rubbed his face, "I don't have this ability, but it happened and I just yelled when I saw injustice..."
"Hahaha, what a roar, I saw an injustice..." A loud laugh came from outside, and the roar was finished. Huangfu Qianqi, the governor of the Pingxi County Governor's Office, had already walked into the living room with great strides.
Seeing Shi Changfeng standing up, Yan Liqiang quickly stood up.
"You have to sit down, you have to be polite. This is not the headquarters or the governor's palace. Let's talk casually today without being restrained..." Huangfu Qianqi smiled, let Shi Changfeng and Yan Liqiang sit down, and then he also came to the main seat and sat down.
After Yan Liqiang sat down, he carefully looked at the number one military figure in Pingxi County. Huangfu Qianqi was majestic, wearing a dark red thin scaled armor, and did not wear a helmet. For those who have achieved success in their cultivation, it is difficult to judge age, but they look like they are in their fifties, with a little frosty temples and a thick tiger's eyes and thick eyebrows, which are very powerful. Judging from the breath, Huangfu Qianqi's realm should undoubtedly be above Shi Changfeng's martial arts master, but they don't know what level it is.
Huangfu Qianqi, who was sitting down, also looked at Yan Liqiang. Yan Liqiang's fourteen-year-old age and handsome appearance made him slightly surprised. If he had not seen it with his own eyes at this time, Huangfu Qianqi would not have believed that such a handsome young man could have knocked down three Shatu men at the gate of the city. He heard that two of them were beaten to death by him and were disabled.
A hint of surprise flashed in Huangfu Qianqi's eyes, "Are you the stern Liqiang who performed bravely in the North City Gate yesterday and beat Shatu people up to death?"
"Liqiang has met the Governor!" Yan Liqiang stood up again, bowed to Huangfu Qianqi, and said modestly, "The one who really suppressed Shatu people did not dare to move yesterday was the soldiers and officers from the North Gate. I just did what I should do!"
Yan Liqiang's modesty made Huangfu Qianqi laugh again. He waved his hand and asked Yan Liqiang to sit down. He asked with a kind look, "I have to go to Qinghe County once or twice a year to inspect the county's military equipment. Sometimes I pass by and take a break for half a day. I wonder where your family lives in Qinghe County, and what kind of life do your father and brother do?"
"My family lives in Liuhe Town, Qinghe County. There are only two fathers and me in my family. My father is a blacksmith in the town. His family is in the town. His father also runs a blacksmith workshop!"
"Blacksmith, not bad, not bad, he is a good family. So, can you still miss the iron?" asked the governor with great interest.
"I have been influenced by it since I was a child, and I know a little bit!" Of course Yan Liqiang is more than that simple. It can be said that Yan Dechang can do it, Yan Liqiang can do it. Yan Dechang did not give his disciples the skills before, so Yan Liqiang has learned it long ago. It's just that Yan Liqiang's experience is not as rich as Yan Dechang.
"Depending on your skills, you should at least pass the horse stance, right?"
"It's true that you have passed the horse stance!"
"Well, but the people in Mabu Pass probably won't be able to win the third place in Qinghe County's national martial arts test!" Huangfu Qianqi nodded, "I wonder if you stretch your muscles and pull your bones?"
"I haven't passed the level of stretching my tendons and bones yet!"
"Yesterday those Shatu people said they wanted to seek revenge on you, I wonder how you are going to deal with it?"
Yan Liqiang lowered his eyes and replied calmly, "It's just that the soldiers come and the generals come and cover the water. I practice hard every day and strive for self-improvement. If Shatu people dare to come, I dare to kill!"
Huangfu Qianqi touched his beard and squinted at Yan Liqiang. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. He pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "There is still a lack of a horse-feeding and running errands among the personal soldiers around me. I wonder if you are willing to come to the Governor's Mansion to be a soldier beside me. Well, you are still young now. Even my personal soldiers cannot be considered as a regular soldier. You can only start with the lowest level of auxiliary soldiers. You can consider it!"
Be the personal soldier of the Governor?
Huangfu Qianqi's proposal made Yan Liqiang suddenly shocked. The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, how could the generals of the county governor be held? This position is similar to the secretary of the leader. Although the auxiliary soldiers have the lowest rank, this is just because they are not old and are just a name. After living for two lifetimes, if Yan Liqiang didn't know that the governor wanted to promote and cultivate him at this time, then he would have lived in vain for the past two lifetimes.
Yan Liqiang's little heart was jumping. He looked at Shi Changfeng and found that there was also a look of surprise on Shi Changfeng's face. He didn't expect Huangfu Qianqi to speak directly and ask himself to be his personal soldier, "Teacher, this..."
Shi Changfeng understood what Yan Liqiang wanted to ask, and he smiled, "The National Museum of War is very free. All the time is arranged by the students themselves. There is only one class a week. Many students in the National Museum of War have various responsibilities and careers. Several officers and lieutenants in Pingxi City are also students of the National Museum of War. They only come to listen to one of my literary and historical classes for half a month. If you are willing to join the army, I believe that the Supervisor will not have much to give to you, and it will not affect your study in the National Museum of War!"
"There are only four personal soldiers around me now, all of whom have advanced to warriors. If you are willing, before you advance to warriors, you just need to go to our mansion to help me run around every week. With the identity of the personal soldiers around me, in Pingxi City, few people dare to touch you. If the people of Rushatu dare to seek you provoke and revenge, you can kill them if you want..."
The Governor said everything to this point. If Yan Liqiang still refused, it would be a big deal that God would be blamed if he didn't take it. Without thinking, he stood up and saluted Huangfu Qianqi again. He had seen it again, "Yan Liqiang had met the Governor!"
