Zhou Xian went back to Zhou Zhen to tell Zhou Zhen about Lin Fuzi's son and explained his concerns to him.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhen frowned and finally said, "I will ask Uncle Zhou to tell Huang Yong about the matter of Master. He should give such face. As for the one you are worried about, it is indeed a problem. But you also know that Pan Hong is a local parent official, and all I can do is to remind him as much as possible."

Zhou was obviously not satisfied with what Zhou Zhen said, and said, "Brother, my father is also a fourth-rank official from the imperial court. Can you rely on his reputation? If Pan Hong can be transferred here, of course it would be best. If not, it would be great to suppress him a little and make him dare not be so bold from now on."

Zhou Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Xiao Xian, you probably don't fully understand the regulations of the court. His father belongs to the Ministry of War, and because of the special nature of Taipu Temple, it can be said that there are few other things except Ma Zheng. The investigation of officials belongs to the Ministry of Personnel. Not to mention that his father does not have such rights, even if he has, according to his father's personality who never medds nostalgia, he will not interfere with such trivial matters too much. And..."

Zhou Zhen paused for a moment and continued, "And even if he had to change his post, it would take a long time to drag it back and forth, but now is not the time to consider this. Because, just a few days ago, a branch of Gao Chuangzi, led by the two bandit leaders Ziweixing and Pashanhu, had already wandered to the vicinity of Yancheng. In Mengzhai in the south of Wuyang, Yang Si gathered nearly 10,000 people and led his troops to rebel. From tomorrow, Wuyang City will be completely closed down."

"Mengzhai, isn't it more than ten miles away from Wuyang City?"

Zhou Zhen sighed and said, "Yes! After hearing rumors that the bandits were going to send troops to attack the city, they were extremely frightened. He immediately ordered all county soldiers and township soldiers to stop resting and stay on the city wall day and night."

Zhou Xian smiled bitterly and said, "This enemy has not come yet, he has already done this. Can you still expect him to quell the rebels?"

"In fact, what he did was not wrong, at least he was following the orders of the governor. Speaking of this, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Brother, you said."

Zhou Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "All the township heroes are led by me, but in fact they are always in command. But he is an outsider after all, and my body cannot stay in the city for a long time. Therefore, I want you to go on my behalf. Don't worry too much, just watch them for me and don't cause chaos."

After hearing this, Zhou Xian was stunned at first, and then replied with excitement on his face: "Thank you, brother, I will definitely do it."

Zhou Zhen smiled faintly and said, "I know that's what you always want to do. But you are young after all, so you discuss with Zhang Yuan more when encountering things. I will ask him to do his best to help you."

Zhou Xian walked out of Zhou Zhen's house and thought about it. He turned to the street, bought some wine and food, and walked directly towards Lin Bao's room.

Zhou Xian knocked on the door, called out to the master softly, pushed the door and walked in.

Lin Bao was leaning against the wall and drinking a suffocating wine. When he saw Zhou Xian, he raised his head slightly and continued to drink.

Zhou Xian put the wine and food on the table, looked around, and asked with a flattering smile: "Master, isn't Xiao Fengjun at home?"

Lin Bao glanced at Zhou Xian and said, "I have something to say, but I have a good face. I insist on using others to smile at others, which makes people uncomfortable."

Zhou Xian smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I'm here to find a master this time. I really want to trouble you if I have something to do. Brother, he temporarily handed over all the three hundred township heroes to my command, but you also know that I can't help but have such a heavy task. If I take it alone, it's inevitable that I'll have some... "

Lin Bao stood up, walked to the table, looked at the food in front of him. He picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully and said, "It's not bad, the taste is quite authentic."

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "That's right, can you be filial to the master?"

Lin Bao did not respond and asked lightly: "Do you want me to help you?"

Zhou Xian nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Master, you have been in the army for many years. This little thing should be easy for you!"

Lin Bao drank and ate meat on his own, and after a while, he said, "I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing. That is, I will follow you in the name of your followers, what will I do in the future? I will teach you. But to outsiders, all this is what you think of yourself. No matter who asks, you must answer this."

Zhou Xian looked ugly and hesitated for a moment, "Master, isn't this a sheepskin or selling dog meat? The reason why I asked you to help me is that in addition to my real need for help, I also thought that if you can make great contributions this time, you can also use this to join the army again. Although I don't know why you left the army, I know from your words that you will definitely not be able to bear it."

Lin Bao patted Zhou Xian on the shoulder and said, "I appreciate your filial piety, but this agreement must be followed, otherwise I will not help you. Moreover, I have completely lost my fate with the army in my life. The only hope now is that you guys do it well for me. If you join the army in the future, don't embarrass me."

Zhou Xian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, master, I'll listen to you."

He sighed and looked at Zhou Xian and continued, "Zhou Tai and Zhou Qian have too straightforward personalities and can't hide things in their hearts. If they join the army in the future, they may become a powerful general, but they cannot become a handsome man. Zhou Kun has enough thoughts, but his personality is too soft. The best choice is to become a parent official or an aide. Among the four, you think the most, and you are decisive and good at doing things, and I am the most optimistic."

Zhou Xian touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Thank you for your praise, Master."

Lin Bao smiled and said, "Don't be proud. Although I like you the most, you also have fatal weaknesses. If this is not eliminated, your achievements in the future may be far inferior to those of the three."

Zhou Xian looked at Lin Bao with confusion and said, "Master, what are the weaknesses?"

"There are too much unnecessary sympathy, and the heart is not cruel enough."

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Master, shouldn't these be advantages?"

Lin Bao looked at Zhou Xian with a serious expression, and his sharp eyes made the latter unable to look directly. "If you and I are just friends, of course I hope you are such a person. But as a master, I hope you can be more cruel. Because only such people can accomplish great things. In addition, you think too much, once you can't realize what you think in your heart, you will only suffer. So, sometimes it's better to live a little easier."

Zhou Xian lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally looked at Lin Bao and said, "Master, I understand."

Lin Bao smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "How can a person's personality change so easily? Master, I'm just a reminder. If you experience more in the future, you will know the truth."
