Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 433 Seeking Convenience
Meng Changqing did not deny it, "Lord Cao has good hearing."

"It can't be him." Cao Hongxing said directly, "It's just a false alarm."

"Why is Lord Cao so confident?" Meng Changqing asked.

Cao Hongxing looked at Ding Aixue across Meng Changqing, "Some things are well known to everyone." Cao Hongxing whispered, "Just look at his family members who haven't gone to the capital yet."

Meng Changqing nodded, "What you said makes sense."

After all, Liangzhou is a border city, and the families of all officials who hold military power in its territory are under the supervision of the imperial court.

Although the civil and military posts were to be separated after Wei Fangyun left, the power wielded by a prefect was too great, and the court was still worried that he would collude with foreign races.

More than a dozen yamen runners served the dishes at the same time. Within a few words, all the food, wine and tableware were in place.

Wei Fangyun raised his glass on the main seat and said, "I would like to thank you all for your support over the years."

Everyone raised their glasses and began to flatter him with polite words.

At this dinner, except Mao Chunfang, everyone ate very politely.

Amid the clinking of glasses, everyone is worried about the future.

About an hour later, Meng Changqing was full and found an excuse to run to the toilet.

When she came back, she saw that the banquet was over and Mao Chunfang and Zeng Jing had already left.

Hua Rujin is saying goodbye to Wei Fangyun.

Meng Changqing stood next to Ding Aixue and said, "Master, why did the show end so suddenly?"

"Someone drank too much." There were other adults listening, so Ding Aixue didn't say it very directly.

It is conceivable that everyone present was conscious, except for the person who had left. Zeng Jing had only drunk a few sips of wine just now, so the only one left was Mao Chunfang.

Meng Changqing sneered in his heart. This Lord Mao was so arrogant. It was not the kind of person who could survive long in the officialdom.

"Let's go too." Ding Aixiu said, "It's getting late. The governor has to travel tomorrow morning. Let him rest early." Meng Changqing nodded and went forward to say goodbye with Ding Aixiu.

Wei Fangyun first said to Ding Aixue, "I have asked people to prepare torches. Be careful on the way back." Then he said to Meng Changqing, "Wait a moment. I have something to return to you."

Meng Changqing immediately understood what it was. It was the sword she had given to Wei Fangyun when she first met him.

Sure enough, when Wei Fangyun raised his hand to the side, someone came over holding a sword.

It was exactly what she gave it.

"Sir," Meng Changqing said, "Since the item has been given away, Changqing has never thought of taking it back. Besides, a sword is worthy of a hero. Only when it is with you will the craftsman's painstaking efforts be worthwhile."

Wei Fangyun pulled the sword out halfway and saw the coldness flashing from the sword tip. "This is really a good sword." Wei Fangyun sighed and looked at Meng Changqing again. "That's why I can't take it back."

He pressed the sword into Meng Changqing's hand without allowing it to be refused, "Take it back. It will be more useful in your hands than in mine."

"My Lord, you still need to eliminate the pirates, so you will definitely need it..."

Before Meng Changqing finished her words, Wei Fangyun patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't forget what you said. There is Tuozhou further north. This sword is the promise, the promise between you and your father."

Looking at the sword in front of her, Meng Changqing, who was riding on a horse, shook her head. She was using a knife.

There would never be any agreement between her and General Meng. She wanted to take back Tuozhou, but not for General Meng, whom she had never even met.

That night, Meng Changqing only slept for two hours. After all, she had to go to Liangzhou before dawn to see Wei Fangyun and Yang Zheng off.

In Sanliting, Meng Changqing watched a group of people walk away. These were the people who had helped her for more than two years.

She had sent Chen Xingqi off before, and Chen Xingqi had also sent her off before. Today, she was sending Yang Zheng and Wei Fangyun off again.

Life is a constant farewell.

From now on, she would make friends with another prefect and build a good relationship with him in order to gain convenience.
