Two figures were walking on the high shore by the pool. The long-lasting heat finally ushered in the first rain. Although it did not help the drought, it reduced the coolness of the ever-sulting weather. It was already early September, but it did not have the slightest smell of the cool autumn air in previous years. The red sun hanging in the sky still remained hot. If there was no such shower as that just now, even if the willows by the pool were swaying, the two would not dare to go out for a walk.

"Brother Cheng Song, I'm afraid I haven't been here for a long time, right?" The young man who was walking first, browsed and handsome, with a blue shirt and jade belt, a high hair and a tall crown. Although he carried his hands behind his back, the large black satin fan in his hand opened and closed from time to time. The golden silk single-horned dragon-shaped pattern between the wide sleeves was vaguely visible.

"Your Highness, please do not use this title again. Cheng Song can't bear it." A middle-aged man with a morbid face with a pale face appeared with awkward and touching smile. His slightly thin body and white robe made him look thin and bony. His slightly tall cheekbones seemed to have been trimmed. Although it was neat, there was always a little bit of coordination. "This Taiyichi was probably Cheng Song had been traveling fifteen years ago. Later, he stayed in Heshuo and never had the chance to visit. For more than ten years, things have changed."

The thin man's words were filled with sadness, and there was a faint ray of tears in his eyes, obviously thinking of some sad past.

This Taiye Pond is a large artificial lake excavated by the kings of the previous dynasty. It is made up of water from the Han River. It is vast in area, surrounded by high shores and clear lakes, like the "Shen Tang Tang in the Sea". There are Yingzhou, Penglai, and Fangzhang Mountains in the pond, and there are strange birds and beasts such as fish and dragons and dragons. The water and grass beside the pond are lush, and birds are flocking on the flat sand, with beautiful scenery. It is a recreational resort for the kings of the previous dynasty. Going eastward into the Han River, there is a bridge, the famous Ba Bridge, which is a famous Fengyue District in Guanxi. It is surrounded by willow trees. In spring, it is a group of willow catkins flying, like the wind and snowflakes. Han Chinese literati often send guests to the east to fold willows to bid farewell, so it is also called Xiaohun Bridge. In the past, the poets said, "The willow color every year, and the farewell of Baling", and "The wind and snow of Ba Bridge" became one of the eight scenic spots in Guanxi.

Seeing that his casual words aroused the other party's sad past, the young man also felt a little regretful. The other party was imprisoned for many years, his wife, children, and young people had died in war and had become lonely. It is inevitable that he would fall in love with the scene. If he had known this, it would be better not to come and avoid the interest in talking.

The thin man suddenly spoke without saying a word, then woke up from his sadness and said lightly: "Your Highness does not have to worry about Cheng Song. Since Cheng Song can survive for many years in prison, he has seen many hardships in the world. I am afraid that it will be difficult to knock down Cheng Song. It's just that the world has turned upside down in the past few days and it is difficult to adapt for a while."

The young man was Li Wufeng, who had been named King of Qin by the Central Committee of the Tanghe Empire. This thin man was one of the gains Wufeng got from the Hejian Prefecture Region - Fang Chengsong, the former guardian of Hejian Prefecture. Fang Chengsong was not in harmony with his superior Heshuo County Governor Tan Keren, and was falsely accused by Tan Keren on the eve of the Taiping Tribunal's uprising. Later, Taiping Tribunal swept Heshuo, and Tan Keren fled in a hurry. Fang Chengsong was abandoned in the Hejian Prefecture Prison and no one was interested in it. The Taiping Tribunal's Sect

After taking over Hejian, Yu Yongzhi and others were busy catching gold, silver and wealth and controlling their territory. They were too lazy to care about the prisoners in such a prison, which led to the former Rencheng Shou being put in this prison day after day. Later, there were important prisoners in Taiping who also threw themselves into the Hejian Prison. Because no one was in charge of the remaining mortals, they simply rushed to the location of the light offender in the outer courtyard, cleaning, boiling water and cooking, and they came here every day.

Wufeng heard that Fang Chengsong, the guard of Hejian City, was a genius of Heshuo when he graduated from Imperial University. After graduating from Imperial University, he started as a grassroots official because of his common people. He traveled to Tianshui, Longquan, and Hejian for a few years and was promoted to Hejian City. In five years, Hejian's Mansion became a tragic place with bandits and economic depression. His economic strength also surpassed the Jinzhong Mansion, which had always been the highest in Heshuo. The people of Hejian all praised him when they mentioned his guardians. Unfortunately, although this person was pragmatic and honest, he was incompatible with his superior Heshuo County. The two had many disputes, and in the end Fang Chengsong was still in the hands of Tan Keren. However, before Tan Keren could even pull out this thorn in his eyes to celebrate the achievements, Taiping scholars broke out in Heshuo. Heshuo fell in a blink of an eye until the Northwest Army entered Hejian.

"When God is about to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first suffer his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and be empty. He acts and chaotic what he does, so he is moved and endures his nature and improves what he cannot do." Wufeng gently patted the other party's shoulder with a serious face and said solemnly: "Since Brother Cheng Song can withstand such hardships, he must have accepted various heavy responsibilities. The current situation in the empire is dangerous, and foreign enemies frequently invade, and internal strife is too urgent. I want to ask Brother Cheng Song to help me with my help and save the people from water and fire. I wonder what Brother Cheng Song wants?"

Fang Chengsong had already expected that the other party would save him from prison, and traveled thousands of miles to take him back from Hejian to Hanzhong. Not only did he have a wealth of food and food, but he also sent a doctor to treat his illness. This kind of kindness cannot be said to be grateful, but it also made him, who had always believed that he should repay the favor with a spring of water as a creed. He was trapped in the other party's love and friendship website, and he could vaguely guess the other party's thoughts and intentions. But no matter what, the other party's kindness also made him remember it in his heart. In terms of reason, the criminal like himself who had been convicted and imprisoned before he fell, had no room for a turnaround, especially in Heshuo's situation, and no one could explain clearly what happened back then.

In fact, since he was free, Fang Chengsong tried hard to understand the situation in the empire as soon as possible. Newspapers and magazines and discussions with soldiers and officials around him became his main way to grasp the current situation. In a few days, he had a general understanding of the situation in the entire empire.

It is more appropriate to say that the King of Qin in front of him is not so much a prince of the foreign vassal state, but rather that he is a prince who has half the empire. The empire's jurisdiction has over 30% of the nine counties and states, and the King of Qin has controlled more than 30%. In addition, he also took control of the Western Regions countries that had not even reached its peak in the imperial heyday, the Northern Luzon and the Myanmar land, and even the rebellious nomadic barbarians on the Tengri grasslands were crawling at his feet. With the current situation, even children can see that the King of Qin has actually completely escaped from the control of the central government of the Tanghe Empire and dominated the western frontier. The future trend of the Tanghe Empire even depends on the look of the King of Qin.

The powerful military strength controlled by His Highness the King of Qin is incomparable to other parties in the empire. The once glorious Tiannan Lang clan was instantly destroyed. The Sanjiang Lin family, who had been choked in their throats for decades, had to rely on the support of His Highness the King of Qin to survive under the power of the Maqikhans. Should I choose this towering tree as my place to live in the next life?

Seeing that the other party seemed a little hesitant, Wufeng did not force the other party, but just slowed down along the edge of the pool. He actually conducted a considerable investigation of this person and already knew his temperament. He was born into a commoner but wanted to stand out. He was not afraid of power but wanted to show his ability to govern. It was precisely these factors that made the other party less valued the orthodox nature of the way. Who can give him a stage to display his talents is the biggest factor that he is willing to serve.

After sighing, Fang Chengsong lowered his eyelids, longing for a while, he raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness has done so much for Chengsong, and Chengsong has nothing to do. How can he repay the kindness of the emperor? Only one body. It's just that Chengsong does not engage in military affairs, but only gains some gains from government affairs. I hope he can share some trivial matters for Your Highness, that's all."

A craze surged through Wufeng's chest, and everything was done for the other party. The lack of talents had already made Wufeng worry so much that he couldn't sleep and eat. Military generals themselves were not short of them. What they lacked was the senior administrative talents who could deal with one party's government affairs. Fang Chengsong's performance in Hejian Prefecture strongly proved this, and the other party was achieved under the pressure of his superiors.

"Hahaha, getting the help of Brother Cheng Song is better than getting the help of me in Hejian!" Li Wufeng couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and grinned, "The harvest of the battle of Hejian is not about getting a place but about having the help of Brother Cheng Song!"

Seeing the other party's joy from the bottom of his heart, even though Fang Chengsong was mentally prepared for the other party's recruitment from the beginning, he was still deeply moved. The other party's unconcealed desire for talent made him unable to help but be moved.

"Your Highness, you are too proud. Cheng Song came into Guanxi from Tianshui. He went all the way, and all the people and gentry all saw and heard, all the people and gentry sincerely supported His Highness's actions in Guanxi. The barren land in the northwest rose to the western front in just a few years, and Lianhua outside the land had surrendered to Your Highness's reputation. It can be seen that the talents under Your Highness, Cheng Song only hopes to do his part to be satisfied with his last seat." Fang Chengsong was happy to get the other party's praise, but he was quite self-aware. The other party could manage such a huge territory with great success. He had a group of talented people and talented people, and he was just a newcomer. He should be careful and low-key.

"Cheng Song, you don't have to be too cautious. I hate jealous of those who are jealous of the wisest. It doesn't matter if you lose your talent. If you lose your virtue, that is something that I cannot tolerate. Although everyone under my command is different, they are not very picky in terms of character. Please remember this with Brother Cheng Song." Wu Feng's words, Fang Cheng Song was also the listener's intention.

After bowing solemnly, Fang Chengsong looked solemn: "Your Highness's words are kept in mind."
