Taking a Stand

It was difficult for the local magistrate to see Marquis Mingying. Magistrate Hu was in a good mood and smiled as brightly as if he had found gold.

Xie Jinghuai, who was easy to get along with in front of Jiang Chenqi, showed his general style when facing Magistrate Hu. He stared at Magistrate Hu sharply, like a soaring eagle patrolling the territory, giving people a sense of suffocating pressure.

"Hu County Magistrate must be very surprised to see me. Don't be surprised because we have met before. I am Beiming who accompanied Mr. Zhou as a guest. Why did County Magistrate Hu and his family only treat Mr. Zhou with courtesy? They are counted according to their military achievements.

, I have contributed more to the Northern Qi Kingdom than Mr. Zhou."

Without directly mentioning Jiang Chenqi's title as commander, Xie Jinghuai was not sure whether Magistrate Hu knew Jiang Chenqi's identity. He was not sure what the purpose of Jiang Chenqi's stay in the Hu family was, or whether it was appropriate to call Jiang Chenqi a pseudonym.

Hu Liuniang learned the true identity of Mr. Beiming from Jiang Chenqi's mouth, but did not tell her parents for fear that they would think too much.

Neither she nor Jiang Chenqi expected that the Marquis would come to the door and reveal the identity of Marquis Mingying, frightening the unsuspecting Magistrate Hu.

How to answer this? It cannot be said that they suspected that Mr. Zhou was related to Hu Biyue and brought him to the living room to have a meal together. There was no one else in the dining room, so they could inquire about the information.

Seeing that Magistrate Hu was hesitating and speechless, Xie Jinghuai snorted coldly and said in a commanding tone: "You can ignore the blame for neglecting me. Prepare a quiet courtyard for me. I want to stay and recuperate."

.”

Staying to observe Commander Jiang's movements, he wanted to see why Jiang Chenqi was close to the Hu family. What kind of secrets was hidden in her body? Perhaps by solving the mystery, he could get closer to Jiang Chenqi.

When Magistrate Hu left the study, he took a deep breath to calm down his uneasy mood. He stretched out his slightly trembling arms and said, "Butler, come here and help me, and take me to find Mr. Zhou. Marquis Mingying is worthy of being frightened by the enemy. His momentum is terrifying."

I'm scared."

The housekeeper supported the old man and walked forward. He remembered that he had not found the young lady who was the right husband. He came up with an idea and said: "The Marquis unexpectedly came to the Moon Worship Town. Maybe this is the young lady's opportunity. How about arranging the young lady to be with the Marquis."

Don't bring up bad ideas. Magistrate Hu waved his hands in disgust, "You are short-sighted and only see the glamorous side of Marquis Mingying. Rumor has it that the Marquis was injured and lost his martial arts. His military exploits were so great that he was naturally jealous of the emperor. Now look at the Marquis's momentum."

, not at all like a person who has lost his martial arts skills. Don’t get involved in the overt and secret fights of the nobles in the capital. Marrying a marquis is not as good as marrying a mountain man in a village."

As a good father who cares about his daughter, Magistrate Hu is unwilling to let his daughter jump into the sea of ​​fire. It is the right thing for Liu Niang to help Jiang Chenqi take revenge, and marrying a noble son is not a good choice.

After finding Jiang Chenqi and telling him about Marquis Ming Ying, Magistrate Hu recalled the Marquis' amazing momentum and his calves trembled slightly.

Seeing that Magistrate Hu was nervous, Jiang Chenqi patted him on the shoulder, smiled and consoled him: "Marquis Mingying is the patron saint of Northern Qi and will not harm innocent people. My uncle managed the town of Baiyue very well. If it weren't for you

If you didn’t have the ambition to advance, you would have been able to develop upwards long ago.”

Hu Liuniang thought of Mr. Hou's jealous behavior and said to her father with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Dad. Mr. Hou came to the town to see my sister, and he will stay in our house shamelessly for her."

The fear of Lord Marquis disappeared, and Magistrate Hu was worried that Commander Jiang might fall in love by mistake, so he tried to persuade him with sincere words.

Jiang Chenqi did not have the same desire for love as a girl of her age, and said in an indifferent tone: "Uncle, don't worry, I won't be foolish. The unavenged revenge will not allow me to find a suitable person. I will not refuse the closeness of the Marquis. He is the heir to the Marquis and ranks among the military generals."

With a high status, I can use his power when necessary to achieve what I want."

Xie Jinghuai didn't openly say that he liked her, but Jiang Chenqi later realized that it was her attitude not to take the initiative and not to reject the Marquis' initiative.

There is no problem in being friends with the Marquis. They are both ministers who are distrusted by the emperor and have common topics to talk about. Furthermore, it is troublesome to be lovers, and Jiang Chenqi does not want to cause trouble.

Seeing that Jiang Chenqi was very rational in her feelings, Magistrate Hu was very pleased and thought that Sister Biyue had given birth to a good daughter.

Walking into the small courtyard arranged by the Hu family, Jiang Chenqi heard something moving next door. She looked up and saw Marquis Mingying leaning on the wall and looking around. "Why don't you rest in my house? Maybe you dislike it because it is not as comfortable as Hu's house."

Xie Jinghuai climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard with a relaxed smile on his face, "You are not here, it is too deserted for me and Lin Feng to live together, so I simply came to see Magistrate Hu and reported my identity. Magistrate Hu respectfully invited me to be a guest. I am

It is an honor for Magistrate Hu to live in Hu's house for a few days as a general who protects the tranquility of the border."

This is true. It is more difficult for lower-level officials to see Marquis Mingying than to see a sow climb a tree.

Without asking the Marquis his true thoughts, Jiang Chenqi subconsciously avoided Xie Jinghuai's approach.

Hu Liuniang was passing by in the corridor carrying a basket, and when she saw the two of them together, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Jiang Yuyou ran from the end of the corridor carrying a branch, cursing and saying: "Damn Liu Niang, you are scaring my bees. You are really asking for a beating. Please stop and get beaten."

Hu Liuniang was not a fool. How could she stop, hold the basket and start running.

Soon the figures of the two people fighting and quarreling disappeared, leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells.

Xie Jinghuai frowned and suggested sincerely: "You need smart maids, I can choose a few dutiful families from the Hou Mansion to have children. Jiang Yuyou is a childish Gu Master, and Hu Liuniang is not a simple-minded girl. These two

If you stay around, I'm afraid it will bring you trouble."

Jiang Chenqi didn't tell the truth and just found a reason to say: "I have very few friends. Linyuan and the others are men. It's hard to tell them some things. When I meet Yuyou and Liu Niang, they have people to whisper to. Even though they are young,

He knows a lot of things, Yu You is smart and good at Gu magic to protect me, Liu Niang is skillful and takes good care of me."

She didn't trust other girls, let alone accept the maid given by Xie Jinghuai, so Jiang Chenqi didn't want to deal with strangers.

The Sixth Sense told Xie Jinghuai that Jiang Chenqi in front of him was not telling the truth. Why did Jiang Chenqi leave Jiang Yuyou behind? Why did Jiang Chenqi come all the way to the town closest to the Gu Master's village and accept Hu Liuniang as a maid? Questions surrounded Xie Jinghuai.

It is the tacit understanding of adults not to ask too much, so Xie Jinghuai changed the subject and said: "When will you leave? I remember that you plan to stay for a few days before setting off to return to the capital."

Jiang Chenqi was reluctant to leave before meeting other clan members or her grandmother. "If you have something to do, Lord Marquis, you can take the first step. I have some private matters and the original plan has changed."

Coming here to see Jiang Chenqi, Xie Jinghuai had no intention of leaving early, "It's nothing important. It's better to stay in the town of Baiyue, away from all the troubles in the capital. If you need my help, just mention it. Although I don't have any acquaintances nearby,

I also have some good kung fu to help you.”
