When the group approached Anping County, they found that it was extremely lively in the distance.

Even in such a cold season, the city gate is still extremely noisy.

More than a thousand people gathered here, old and young, officials and officials, surrounded by armored guards, slaves coming in and out, and luxurious carriages piled up on both sides, forming a wall of carriages.

There was a lot of noise and people coming and going.

Lines of incense or cooking smoke slowly rose, and children could be seen running back and forth.

The big dog followed the child, and the beautiful horses lowered their heads to eat.

Everyone stood on the official road slope, looking at the scene in front of them, and they were all a little shocked.

Yao Xiong marveled, "The treatment of this county lieutenant is really different!"

"There are so many people coming to greet you?"

Tian Zili frowned, "It doesn't look like they are here to greet us."

"If you are not here to welcome us, then who are you here to welcome?"

Just as Yao Xiong opened his mouth, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.

Then he saw more than forty knights leading the way, followed by five or six carriages. The servants lowered their heads and followed behind the carriages. A large group of people were heading here.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The leading knight saw the people in front of him and hurriedly scolded them.

Yao Xiong squeezed the knife in his hand, but Liu Taozi said softly: "Get out of the way for them."

The crowd was divided into two sides of the road, and the knights walked through them proudly. The tall carriage was like a hill, and the horses pulling the carriage were not ordinary, and they were as good as Liu Taozi's green lion.

These war horses were also quite arrogant. When they saw the dusty blue lion standing beside them, they seemed to shake their heads proudly and passed by with their heads raised.

Yao Xiong couldn't help but laugh, "What a beast!"

This group of people just passed by and continued to rush towards the city gate. As they advanced a little further, those people in the distance noticed them. In a moment, it became more lively there.

I saw people coming forward, dozens of musicians playing musical instruments, some singing elegant music, and those people lined up neatly, old and young, and in order.

The bumpkins from Cheng'an had never seen such a scene before, and they were all stunned.

Liu Taozi signaled to everyone, and then led them towards the city gate.

The knights gathered on both sides and the carriage stopped.

Soon, a very plainly dressed little old man got out of the hill-like carriage.

Everyone hurriedly saluted in order.

Seeing the posture in front of him, the little old man didn't have any joy on his face, but instead frowned.

"Cui Gang!"

"I sent someone to write you a letter, telling you not to stir up trouble. What do you mean?"

A man standing at the front raised his head. This man looked very similar to the little old man, but he was taller.

"Father, Prefect Lu and the elders of the clan have promised to come to greet you, so I can't refuse."

This little old man was Cui Jishu, who had just been dismissed from his official post.

Someone stood up and walked to Cui Jishu with a smile, "Mr. Cui, please don't blame Zijian for knowing that you are coming. How could I neglect you?"

Several more people stood up and started admonishing them one after another.

"Brother, your return to Anping is a big deal. Don't neglect it! Don't neglect it!"

There was still some worry in Cui Jishu's eyes, but facing these people, he did not reprimand him. He just smiled and returned the greeting, "I am just a commoner now. How dare I let the prefect come to greet me in person?"

"There are many other brothers in my family. It's freezing cold today, so I really bother you."

"Where is the word!"

Everyone talked a lot. Some people called the child to pay homage, while others read poems for Cui Jishu on the spot to express their respect and love.

The scene fell into chaos for a while.

At this moment, shouts suddenly came from outside, interrupting everyone's meeting.

Before Cui Jishu could speak, a fat official looked over there and said, "Mr. Cui is here! How dare you be so rude?!"

Everyone looked up.

I saw several knights being knocked to the ground, and the group of people slowly moved towards here under the guard of many knights.

The pedestrians looked fierce, holding weapons and ferocious faces. Several of them were barbarians with weird hair and beards, which were scary. The leader was tall and murderous.

Everyone was shocked. Prefect Lu looked around hurriedly, in confusion, "Is there a bad person?! Is there a bad person?!"

Cui Jishu looked at the people in the distance calmly, "Cui Gang, go over and ask them who they are and why they hurt my guards. Be kinder."

"only!"

Cui Jishu's youngest son Cui Gang hurried forward and blocked the pedestrian.

"Everyone."

He saluted and then asked: "I wonder who you are? Why do you want to hurt my guards?"

Yao Xiong suddenly took out the letter and showed it to him, "Boling County Lieutenant has taken office, how dare you block the city gate? Get out of the way quickly!!"

Cui Gang had no expression on his face. He turned around and trotted all the way to Cui Jishu's side. He said blankly: "Father, he said: Lieutenant Boling took office, how dare you?"

He was stunned and said what the other party said word for word. Cui Jishu looked at his youngest son with complicated eyes.

Prefect Lu was furious, "County Lieutenant?! Okay, okay, Zijian, go over and send him a message! Tell him to come over and see me!"

Cui Jishu immediately frowned. Seeing that Cui Gang was about to run over, he grabbed his son and pushed him behind him. Then he looked at everyone, "Everyone, what the county captain said is reasonable. Don't block it."

Stay on the road and get out of the way. My children, please follow me back home. If you miss me, you can come to see me, but this city gate cannot be blocked because of me! Go back!"

When Cui Jishu spoke like this, his relatives naturally did not dare to neglect him and turned around and started to leave.

Governor Lu looked anxious, "Mr. Cui, I am not. This county captain is new. I."

Cui Jishu looked at him with extremely sharp eyes, "Prefect Lu, I am very grateful that you can personally greet this useless old man like me. However, it is really not advisable to delay official business for personal matters. Today the county lieutenant is here to take office.

, the prefect did not arrange for anyone to greet him, but still blocked the city gate and did not allow anyone to come in. Is this what a wise official can do? Your father has a quiet personality, is indifferent to fame and fortune, wears rags and eats rough food, and is content and contented."

"Can't the governor imitate his behavior?!"

Cui Jishu's tone became stern, and Prefect Lu lowered his head in a submissive manner.

Cui Jishu then walked towards the city, and everyone poured into the city.

Governor Lu watched them enter the city respectfully, and then looked up at the approaching group of people, his expression becoming extremely gloomy.

He turned around and climbed onto his horse, holding a whip in hand, and rushed towards the pedestrian.

When the two sides encountered each other, Governor Lu glared at the group in front of him, gritted his teeth angrily, and raised the whip in his hand.

"Vulgar martial artist! Lowly and fresh. Get off the horse!!"

Liu Taozi calmly looked at the idiot in front of her.

This idiot looks to be about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance, but his clothes are very luxurious. The jade bead belt around his waist and the gold thread on the cuffs are all valuable. Even his war horse is also carefully decorated at this moment.

Dress up and be covered in gold.

But the many minions around Taozi were staring at each other fiercely at this moment, with ferocious and angry expressions on their faces.

Seeing that these people didn't obey orders at all and dared to stare at him like this, Prefect Lu became even more angry, "Thieves! Come on, give these people to me."

Immediately, someone pulled the reins of the horse under Prefect Lu's crotch.

He was a handsome young man, "Mr. Lu and Mr. Cui, please don't be rash when you first arrive."

Prefect Lu gritted his teeth, stared at Liu Taozi fiercely, and then laughed again, "Okay, okay, just wait."

He immediately turned around and left the place on horseback.

The young man watched him leave, then looked at Liu Taozi and others with a wry smile, and bowed slowly.

"Young Master of the county! I am a minor official in the county. My surname is Cui. The governor of my family is fierce, but I don't hold grudges. Don't you mind if I come to take you to the county government office?"

"good."

The people at the city gate were still going in, so they moved to another city gate. The young man walked in front of them on foot and introduced the surrounding situation to everyone with a smile.

Anping City looks extremely ordinary.

The buildings in the city are neither as neat and tall as Cheng'an, nor as shabby and short as Liyang. Everything is ordinary.

The county government office is located in the very center of Anping County.

Again, nothing special, just ordinary.

The county government office was open, and you could see county officials walking around in a hurry. When they saw Liu Taozi and the others, the county officials who were walking out looked extremely frightened. They turned around and ran inside, and the county officials on both sides were about to rush up.

close the door.

The young man hurriedly shouted: "This is the new county captain!!"

He shouted like this, and these people just walked out of their hiding place skillfully, turned around and left without paying any respect.
