The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Sheng Yuan often feels that the holidays pass too quickly, and one day can be equivalent to two or three days of duty.

"If the hands of the watch slow down when you are on duty, then the hands of the watch speed up when you are on holiday."

Xiaoyao couldn't help but shake her head when she saw her young lady sighing while holding the pocket watch that was tribute from the West.

She was very familiar with this scene. On the first day after every holiday, her young lady would sigh in frustration.

But her young lady doesn't seem to dislike roaming around in official circles!

Xiaoyao couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, so she scratched her head and decided to let herself go.

Miss Zuoyou always just says this.

It's just talk, she knows, she just wants to talk freely.

Xiaoyao, who succeeded in persuading herself, soon relaxed, and even her mount followed suit with a much lighter pace.

Just as the group was about to leave the inner city, they heard a loud fight coming from the street not far away.

Sheng Yuan, who was in a bad mood, perked up upon hearing the voice, leaped forward, and stood on the horse's back.

He put his hands on the awning and looked towards the source of the noise, and saw that people from the City Patrol and the City Defense Battalion were chasing a group of five people.

Although the five people who were surrounded were dressed in ordinary clothes, judging from their actions and reactions, they were martial artists.

Sheng Yuan looked carefully and found that the steps and moves of these five people were similar to those of the soldiers. He couldn't help but muttered: "Could it be that they are spies sent by some vassal state?!"

"Miss, what's wrong?!" Xiaoyao didn't have her young lady's martial arts skills, so she couldn't fly up to the saddle or stand at a high height; she didn't have her young lady's super eyesight, so she couldn't see the specific situation in the distance; she only heard her young lady talking to herself again, and couldn't help but ask. Sheng Yuan saw the farce in the distance, and saw that the patrol officers and the city guards had the upper hand. Even if the five people had wings, they couldn't fly out of Kyoto. He immediately gave up the interest in joining in the fun, and casually said something to Xiaoyao and the guards, planning to take people out of the city by a detour.

Although there were no important matters at the Five Military Commander's Office today, there were still many trivial matters that required her approval and seal, and all these matters had to be completed in one morning, because after lunch, she had to rush to the Ministry of Revenue as soon as possible, and there were still many things in the Ministry that needed her supervision and review.

In fact, as the de facto head of the Five Military Command, she actually had less things to do than the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

But there is nothing that can be done about it, since Yang Wennong, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has not returned yet!

According to the personnel regulations of the Ministry of Revenue, before Yang Wennong returned to resume his post, all government affairs that the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was responsible for would have to be temporarily taken over by her, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

So it is strange that she now has three jobs while holding down two jobs.

Sheng Yuan's mind was filled with "official business, official business, official business". She wanted to be an honest person who abided by the law and had no intention of getting involved in the fight over there; but the three parties fighting each other in the distance had no intention of letting her go.

"General Sheng, please stay!" The people from the City Patrol and the City Defense Camp had actually noticed Sheng Yuan's large group of people a long time ago, but they didn't recognize who they were at first. When someone recognized Sheng Yuan's distinctive image, the two groups almost laughed out loud.

Great, the key person appears!

  Sheng Yuan didn't expect that there was someone who was eager to let her stay!

This feels a bit strange!

"Commander Sheng, we have to trouble you to persuade your subordinates to lay down their weapons and accept interrogation." The captains of the city patrol officer and the city defense battalion both approached Sheng Yuan who was galloping towards them. As soon as they opened their mouths, they confused her.

Who? Whose subordinates? Who should be questioned? (End of this chapter)
