He Fengyang's face darkened after hearing this, and he sighed: "It would be a good thing if you can find your family back. But don't have too much hope, after all, so many years have passed. Chu'er, you have to remember

, this will always be your home!" He Fengyang had long regarded Qin Muchu as his own child, and now that he heard that Qin Muchu might find a relative, he was happy, but also had an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

Qin Muchu was very moved after hearing this. He knelt down in front of He Fengyang's knees and said: "Master! Your kindness to Chu'er will never be forgotten by Chu'er. Don't worry! Chu'er will always regard this place as his home. Chu'er thought

I want to find them because I want to know why they had the heart to abandon Chu Er."

He Fengyang was very moved after hearing Qin Muchu's words. He reached out and stroked Qin Muchu's head and said: "Chu'er, there are no bad parents in the world. No matter what, they are your biological parents. Tiger poison will not eat its children."

Ah, your parents must have their own reasons for abandoning you like this. You, if you can really find them, don't blame them too much. Do you know? Chu'er!"

Qin Muchu nodded again. He would definitely obey He Fengyang's words. He choked and said, "Well, Chu'er understands and will follow the master's teachings."

Shanghe County, Shandong.

It is the Dog Days of Summer, which is the period of the year when the weather is hottest, the temperature is the highest, and the Yang energy is at its strongest.

A carriage drove from the south of Shanghe City. There were two coachmen sitting on the driver's seat of the carriage.

The carriage arrived at the door of a restaurant in the city and stopped. One of the tall coachmen got out of the carriage, walked to the back of the carriage, opened the curtain, and invited the people inside to get out. After a while, a young man came out.

This man has an ordinary face, but his clothes are extremely gorgeous, which shows that he has an extraordinary status.

They were Qin Muchu and Xie Tianxie, their master and servant. Qin Muchu took Xie Tianxie and the two of them and headed straight for the capital. There were only a dozen days left before the month Hong Huan said he wanted.

After driving for two consecutive days, they finally arrived at a county town. Qin Muchu asked Xie Tian to find a restaurant and have a good rest.

The restaurant that Xie Tian found was called Penglai Pavilion, and it was one of the best restaurants in the whole street. When the bartender saw the three masters and servants in extraordinary clothes, he quickly nodded and bowed and invited them into Penglai Pavilion.

In order not to attract other people's attention, Qin Muchu asked Xie Tian to sit down together. As soon as he sat down, Qin Muchu saw two acquaintances.

These two people are Wang Wenqing and Song Ping, one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River. Qin Muchu once met them at the Peony Party in Luoyang.

At this time, Wang and Song were looking at each other with sad faces, lowering their heads and drinking dull wine. They did not look around. Of course, even if they looked around, they would not recognize Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu was thinking about whether to go over and say hello, when he saw Song Ping let out a long sigh and put the wine glass he had just finished drinking down on the table with a loud bang. Then he said: "Wen Qing, what should we do? Why don't we

Just tell him to avoid it first."

Wang Wenqing also put the wine glass heavily on the table and said: "Song Ping, you think it's easy. Are you telling me to avoid this time in the morning? There have been orders from above to do everything possible to take care of the troops passing by! How can you do this?

Shouldn't he be allowed to leave his post without permission? When the court investigates him, it won't be Zai Chen's business. Then, it will be strange if he doesn't kill the Nine Clans."

Song Ping said worriedly: "What should we do? The army is coming soon."

Wang Wenqing said: "If there is anything we can do, let him fire Zai Chen from his job. Let's go home and be happy."

Song Ping sighed: "Alas! In the morning, he finally passed the exam and got a job as a county magistrate. His ambition has not been fulfilled, but he is going to be defeated by An Boxu's army?"

Wang Wenqing said: "There is nothing we can do about this. The wealthy and large counties in front of us were punished for this. Is it possible for a poor Shanghe County like us to escape this disaster?"

After listening to the conversation between Wang and Song, Qin Muchu felt suspicious and couldn't help but stand up and walk towards Wang and Song. He bowed to Wang and Song with both hands and asked: "Is it Wang Wenqing Song who is one of the four great talents in Jiangnan?"

Are you two equal?"

When Wang and Song heard this, they looked at Qin Muchu in surprise, because they did not know the young man in front of them. Wang Wenqing glanced at Song Ping. When Song Ping saw him, he stood up, bowed in return and said, "That's right."

Just two people, they don’t know their brother’s surname, so how do they know about the two of them?”

Qin Muchu returned the greeting again and said: "Brother Song Ping, please sit down. I am Qin Mu, who is also from Jiangnan. Qin has long heard of the reputation of the four great talents in Jiangnan. I wonder what the two of them were talking about just now? We are all from Jiangnan.

, if you have any difficulties, you might as well talk about it and discuss it together."

"It turns out it's Brother Qin Mu from the same town. Come on, come on, please have a seat! Brother Qin, this is what happened." Wang Wenqing stood up quickly and said.

Then, Wang Wenqing and Song Ping took turns telling what they were worrying about.

It turns out that some time ago, rebels rebelled in Qiongzhou, the southernmost part of the Central Plains. They had captured the government office in Qiongzhou, and everyone in the government office was under house arrest. The rebels also sent heavy troops to guard the only channel between Qiongzhou and the Central Plains mainland.

The Qiongzhou Strait prevented the imperial garrison stationed in Lingnan from landing in Qiongzhou. As a result, the Lingnan army was defeated. Therefore, Lingnan was in a hurry, and the imperial court ordered General An Boxu to lead an army of 300,000 people to Lingnan to prepare for the recovery of Qiongzhou.

.

An Bexu once made great achievements in the battle with the Xiongnu. He did have his own way of leading the army in battle, but he was very headstrong and sometimes very rude in his treatment of others. This time the court ordered him to pacify Qiongzhou.

He believed that the rebellion was overkill and was therefore very dissatisfied with the move. However, the court had issued an order and he had no choice but to accept it. Therefore, he vented his anger on the state and county officials who passed by along the way.

An Boxu led the Eighth Army down to Lingnan with great momentum. However, in the several states and counties they passed along the way, countless officials were reprimanded or even dismissed because of inadequate care for their food and daily life.

Then the news spread that "it is not easy to serve Anjun, and if anything goes wrong, you will die", which made all the officials, big and small, in the places they must pass through on their journey to be wary and frightened.

Shanghe County is where An Boxu's army must pass. In two days, the army will arrive. Three years ago, Zhang Zaichen went to Beijing to take part in the imperial examination, won the Jinshi, and was assigned to be the magistrate of Shanghe County. Shanghe County was originally

The residents' lives were very poor. After Zhang Zaichen took office, he tried to tax the residents as little as possible. In the past three years, some results have been achieved, but the county government's inventory is not sufficient.

Zhang Zaichen was more influenced by Confucianism than Wang and Song. Confucianism focused on joining the world and making contributions. So he went to Beijing to take the exam, while Wang and Song went to hang out at the Peony Club. Therefore, Zhang Zaichen cherished this very much.

Although the county magistrate is a small official, he is the parents of the people. Zhang Zaichen has done his best to be loyal and responsible. But now An Boxu's army is about to arrive. By then, if there is any mistake, he will be dismissed from his post. If he is angry,

He might be beheaded and lose his life.

Qin Muchu listened and finally understood what they were worried about. He pondered for a while and said to Wang and Song: "Take me to see Zhang Zaichen. Maybe I can help him get through this."
