Chapter 243 determination (two more)
Qin Wubing began to plan in his mind how to deal with it next, and completely forgot about Gu Li.

Gu Li stared blankly at Qin Wubing, waited for a while, turned his head to look at the door a few times, couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "My lord, when will the food be served?"

Qin Wubing was interrupted when he was thinking about it the most, and he said angrily, "You think so beautifully!"

Seeing Qin Wubing's sudden change of face, Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what was wrong, he quickly asked, "My lord's name is Gao?"

"I just remembered to ask now, isn't it a bit late?" Qin Wubing scratched his forehead.

Gu Li suddenly stood up and shouted in horror: "Who are you?"

Lin Huai rushed in from outside the big tent and asked, "Is it over?"

Qin Wubing nodded, waved his hand and said:

"Take it down! What, you have no chance if you want to kill me. Gu Hao is your uncle? Go down and tell him, I helped him find out the murderer who killed him. Besides, you have a very wrong idea, you guys If you don’t move bad thoughts, where do these life and death come from? And your thoughts, I don’t know how many people’s life and death will be caused, and the evil is on you..."

"Is it over? I'm still waiting to make meritorious service!" Lin Huai couldn't wait.

Gu Li was bound and taken out by the soldiers called by Feng Ming. When he left, Gu Li hadn't figured out who the person in front of him was.

Qin Wubing asked Fengming: "Have you sent troops?"

"Let's go, they are not far away, and the hidden guards found them quickly. If it is true as Gu Li said just now, the Nanzhao reinforcements are constantly hungry, this battle is easy to fight, and they should be back after a while." Feng Ming replied .

Lin Huai was in a hurry: "Oh! I shouldn't have thought of asking you, just follow along! If I go at this time, the day lily will be cold!"

Qin Wubing ignored Lin Huai and asked, "Is the rain a bit less?"

Feng Ming nodded.

"Get the rest of the soldiers ready, let's go back to the city!"

……

Xiao Qing and Song Fu had been standing on the tower, and someone behind them held oil-paper umbrellas for them.

Both of them are not the second generation of officials, Song Fu and Qin Wubing belong to the third generation of rich, and Xiao Qing is just a child of a poor family. Without this battle, it would be the end of his career as a thousand households, and there would be no chance of promotion, so the two of them both didn't understand how the son-in-law valued his followers so much, but at the same time they understood very well. This kind of feeling is complicated Let the two of them stand on the tower and don't know what to say to comfort each other.

After standing for a while, Xiao Qing suddenly said, "Just now the son-in-law was standing here, and no one was holding an umbrella."

Song Fu's chubby face was full of fatigue at the moment, he sighed and said: "I have never seen a man like this before."

"I haven't seen it either! To tell the truth, Mr. Fu Yin, before the son-in-law was in the city, although there were only 5000 people guarding the city, I was at ease. As soon as the son-in-law left today, my heart kept beating wildly. My lord!" Xiao Qing turned to look at Song Fu: "Why do I have a bad feeling?"

Song Fu touched his protruding belly, looked into the distance and said, "Don't worry, it's useless to worry, if the son-in-law comes back safe and sound, everything will be easy to talk about, if not, you and I will live and die with Xining City!"

Xiao Qing nodded fiercely and said:
"When we were trapped in Pinglu City, I thought that this time it would be a disaster! We will not do rebellion. If we don't do it, we may be killed by the rebels at any time. This is to warn the soldiers to be obedient. At that time, Xiao Zhiping is vacillating, if not for the timely arrival of the son-in-law, maybe I would have arrived on Huangquan Road a few days earlier, and these few days are considered in vain, what are you afraid of? Just fight to the death to defend the city!"

Song Fu smiled slightly and said, "I have been in Xining City for ten years!"

Xiao Qing froze for a moment, and asked, "So long?"

"I didn't come from a scientific examination. My family used some money to enter the Imperial College as a supervisor."

Xiao Qing sighed: "It sounds really good, you can enter the Imperial College!"

Song Fu shook his head and said:
"There are three kinds of supervisors, one is called Mengjian, those who entered the Imperial College by relying on their parents' and grandparents' positions, the second is called Enjian, who is authorized by the emperor to study in the Imperial College, and the third is my kind, donating prisons! As the name implies , the family donated property and got a prison student. In fact, among the three types of prison students, only Mengjian can actually study in the Imperial College, become a student member, and take part in scientific examinations. Donating a prison like me is just for fame. "

"Then..." Xiao Qing didn't have the nerve to ask, 'How did you become an official? '

Song Fu himself explained: "The family continued to send money, and the officials who sent it to the official department were embarrassed to see my family, so they got me a county magistrate of Xinyang County."

"Our Xinyang County?"

Song Fu nodded:

"It's so poor that people starve to death every month! It's not so much that my family gave me money to make me an official, it's better to say that it just happened to be in this place and no one wants to go! My family gave me money to find me an official. Half-time job, others donated money to avoid going to Xinyang County to be an official, so they thought of me."

Xiao Qing lowered his head.

Song Fu went on to say:
"I have been the county magistrate in Xinyang County for three years, and my family has not stopped using money to manage the business. Because no one wants to come to Xining Mansion, I have a chance to be promoted. In fact, I have always wondered, is the Ministry of Officials How can I make a supervising student like me take the position of Fu Yin? My family just wants to transfer me to another county, at least not so poor. I expect how I can make a fortune, and I only want to open a way for the younger generation in the family."

"I have been the governor of Xining Prefecture for ten years. To be honest, I miss the days in Xinyang County even more. The hardships are a bit bitter, but the folk customs are simple and honest. I never keep up with Feng Crying Poor. If it is not possible, I take money from my family. Helping them from household to household, so that they have land to cultivate and housing to live in, and within three years, no one will starve to death in Xinyang County! But Xining City is different, if they want to do something, people will stare at them... In the past ten years, ghosts and monsters I’ve seen a lot, and I’ve seen honest and honest people, and I’ll hide if I can, and I’ll help if I can.”

"No matter what my family expects of me, I have said to myself and others: I will never take food and clothing as my ambition, and I swear to be free from conscience! I only want the people in the land under my jurisdiction to live better, and I will never see my The people suffer from hunger, cold and pain due to the war!...the only way is to guard the city gate and live and die with the city gate!"

Xiao Qing bowed deeply to Song Fu respectfully, and said, "Master Song is a good official!"

Knowing that Song Fu dared to tell him the truth today, Xiao Qing was ready to surrender his life. How could Xiao Qing not feel respect?
Song Fu laughed and said: "It's just that this body of fat will never leave it. Don't worry about eating bran and swallowing vegetables or being too busy to sleep at night. At most, you should be thinner, and you will soon look like this again."

As soon as Song Fu finished speaking, the soldiers behind Xiao Qing shouted, "Someone is coming!"

Song Fu and Xiao Qing hurriedly looked outside the city gate.
