That night, Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling talked for a long time and also talked a lot.

The next morning, amid a loud crowing of cocks in the countryside, the two declined Xiaocao's family's repeated attempts to stay and sped away in the direction of Yueyang.

Horse hooves were flying, wheels were rolling, and it was another rush on the road. A carriage accompanied by several horses entered the destination of this trip, Yueyang City.

Not long after Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling returned to the city, a piece of news began to spread among the streets of Yueyang.

Sun Boling, the newly appointed county captain by the Marquis of Wei, came to Yueyang this time under the personal welcome of the county magistrate Gongsun Yang.

This piece of news was gradually publicized. Some people regarded it as a piece of gossip after dinner, while others regarded it as Wei's regard for Liyang.

Of course, for the powerful families entrenched in Yueyang, the arrival of a county captain in charge of military affairs is not good news!

…

"Did you see with your own eyes that the county magistrate Gongsun Yang and the newly promoted county captain returned to the government?" In the backyard of the Yu family in Yueyang, Yu Kai, the head of the Yu family, asked his confidants who had just returned.

"A villain dare not deceive the master of the family."

Raising his head slightly, his confidant carefully looked at Yu Kai in front of him.

"The villain did indeed see the county magistrate get off his carriage and invite a young man to enter the official palace. The villain thought that the man was probably the rumored county captain."

Ahead, after hearing the report from his confidant, Yu Kai nodded in agreement while thinking.

After a few breaths, he put away his thoughts, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest first."

"I'll take my leave, villain."

After receiving the order from the head of the family, the confidant bowed and quickly disappeared into the room.

Seeing the figure slowly disappearing from the field of vision, Pi Zhan, the head of the Pi family who had always been a little restless next to Yu Kai, immediately slapped the tables in front of him with his right hand.

After the "bang" sound, Pizhan complained with some anger in the study room.

"Not long ago, the county magistrate Gongsun Yang came here, and this time the county magistrate Sun Boling came."

"Could it be that I, Yueyang, am like the female concubine in Linzi City of the State of Qi, who can come as many as she wants?"

"madness!"

As soon as Pi Zhan finished his roar and complaint, he was greeted by a sharp scolding from above.

After taking a look at Yu Kai, who looked solemn at this moment, Pizhan, who always followed Yu's orders, could only act like usual, lowered his head dejectedly and said nothing.

Yu Kai saw Pizhan calm down and the expression on his face softened slightly, but his eyes turned to the other side.

"Brother Sang, what do you think of the arrival of our new county captain?"

"According to the information I have received, our new county captain also has a good background. Rumor has it that he is the younger brother of Pang Juan, the current general of Wei."

Sang Ping, the head of the Sang family who was sitting behind several cases, heard Yu Kai's words asking him and immediately revealed Sun Boling's identity.

After uncovering Sun Boling's support, the expression on Sang Ping's face gradually became more solemn, "The one in front is a disciple of Xiangguo, and another is a junior general. It seems that Wei Guo is paying attention to me, Yueyang.

Extremely so.”

Regardless of the Yu family, the most powerful family, or the Pi family, and the Sang family, after a large number of families moved westward with the Qin State, they all regarded Yueyang as their own.

Now that the Wei State, which took over the land of Qindong from the Qin State, is constantly strengthening its control over Yueyang, how can this make the three families not feel vigilant?

Thoughts swirled in his mind a thousand times. First, he thought of Gongsun Yang's inspection of the fields in Yueyang these days, and then thought of the arrival of Sun Boling, the new county captain. After a few cases, Yu Kai instinctively felt a huge threat coming quietly.

Earth is coming to yourself and the family behind you.

The string in his heart tightened at this moment, the expression in his eyes became extremely serious, and Yu Kai's line of sight was once again connected with Sang Ping's.

"Brother Sang, why don't we strike first?"

"No." Facing the cold light in Yu Kai's eyes, Sang Ping immediately stopped him and said: "Brother Yu, I still say what I said, the gap between us and Wei is too huge, there is no doubt that there will be a head-on confrontation

It's like an egg hitting a rock."

"Besides, we have not yet discovered the reason why Wei State sent these two people in succession. Instead of hastily taking action without knowing the situation of the enemy, it is better to know yourself and the enemy, make a plan and then act."

Sang Ping's words once again suppressed the thought in Yu Xin's heart, his face gradually became gentle, and the emerging edge was slowly hidden.

"Since Brother Sang said so, then this is the only way."

Yu Kai spoke with a hint of helplessness, and the study suddenly fell into a deep silence.

However, the silence did not last long. Along with the sound of footsteps approaching from far away, a hurried figure appeared in front of the three of them.

"Report...repay...repay..."

Perhaps because he was running too eagerly, the reporting voice of this servant of the Yu family seemed to be intermittent as he was panting.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Seeing the look of the servant in front of him, Yu Kai, who was always known for his calmness, suddenly felt a little unhappy on his face.

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, he looked at the master of the house. The servant immediately felt a shiver in his heart and quickly calmed down the excitement in his heart.

"To inform the head of the family, the government has just issued a "Troop Recruitment Order", saying that it is recruiting troops to guard the county in accordance with the "Wei Code". At this moment, the sheepskin with the order written on it has been posted on the wall of Nanshi."

"What!"

Upon hearing this news, whether it was Pizhan, Sang Ping or Yu Kai, the leader of the three, they immediately stood up from behind the scenes with shocked expressions on their faces.

In fact, with the issuance of Sun Boling's "Recruitment Order", it was not just the three people in the study who were surprised at this moment.

When the petty officials in Yueyang County posted the sheepskin with the "Recruitment Order" written on it in Yueyang Nan City, they were immediately surrounded by curious people.

"Come on, come on, tell me, this old man, what order did our County Magistrate Gongsun issue again?" An unknown old man standing in the crowd pointed at the seal characters on the sheepskin.

He greeted everyone around him loudly.

Just as he finished speaking, a young man dressed as a scholar walked out of the crowd and came to the sheepskin.

His eyes quickly moved from one seal character to another. After a moment, the scholar turned to the people behind him and began to introduce the contents on the sheepskin.

As the introductions came into my ears, the voices of the people around me gradually started to talk every minute and second.

"Is it true that the government really wants to recruit a thousand soldiers to defend Yueyang?"

"Of course it's true. Didn't you listen to what I just said? If you recruit a thousand soldiers, you will be rewarded handsomely."

"Don't talk nicely like the Qin officials did before. If you win, there will be no reward. If you lose, the blame will be thrown directly on us."
