The strongest Marquis in history

What Wang Qi has set will not change.

Zhuge Feng sighed, and said: "Forget it, since you have decided to go to Qingzhou, I will not persuade you any more. In short, all things should be done with caution, and safety must come first."

Wang Qi said: "Don't worry, brother, I will pay attention to my own safety. Besides, with my strength, it is not easy for the world to kill people. You don't have to worry about going to Qingzhou this time."

After a pause, Wang Qi continued: "Speaking of which, the most important thing is that you stay at the border, brother. On the one hand, you need to appease and resettle the people; on the other hand, you need to recruit talents. Especially here, you cannot There is trouble. Therefore, brother here has a very heavy task, and there must be no negligence in the slightest."

Zhuge Feng said: "Don't worry, I will handle things well."

A little thing on the border will not trouble Zhuge Feng.

The two brothers talked about the affairs in the military camp, and Zhuge Feng was very relaxed. After all, Zhuge Feng didn't find it difficult to deal with such things.Wang Qi entrusted all the matters clearly before letting Zhuge Feng go to rest.

Time flies, and three days are fleeting.

In the past three days, two groups of people have been sent away, a total of 4000 people have been sent away.

Every group of people sent away was escorted by soldiers.In addition, some scribes were also recruited.Because the size of Nanyang County is not big enough, although there are scholars coming, there are still not many people who are willing to follow Wang Qi.

Wang Qi didn't care too much, he gave some money to make a good relationship and let these people go south.

He is not in a hurry to recruit talents.

Wang Qi is now just a county magistrate, so it is still difficult to recruit people.

Of course, Wang Qi also believes that the real visionary will not be missed.

Although the recruitment of literati is relatively small, but for martial arts, it has recruited a lot of good players, more than [-] people.Most of them are second-rate warriors or above, and there are five first-rate warriors.

It's not bad for a lieutenant general to have this realm.

All the processes have been gone through.

Everything is on track.

The weather in December is getting colder, and there are already snowflakes in the sky.

Wang Qi put on thick clothes, took Xia Houhu, Du Can, and ten personal guards, and left the barracks for Qingzhou.

Chapter 286 Help

Wang Qi and his party headed north, traveling very fast.Although the snow had already begun to fall in Qingzhou, the group of people never lost time because of the snow, and still hurried on their way.

The group went smoothly along the way.

After all, there was a team of more than ten people, and they were all on horseback. Most people would not dare to find fault.

Go north from Nanyang County, the northernmost part of Langya Kingdom, into Qingzhou Beihai Kingdom, and arrive at Gaomi County.Then it went north from Gaomi County, crossed Beihai Country all the way, and entered Donglai County in the east of Qingzhou.

When Wang Qi and his party passed through the Beihai Kingdom, they never stopped in the Beihai Kingdom, nor did they go to Jiuhuang Mountain, and entered Donglai County directly.

Dongnai County is now in a mess.

There are bandits everywhere.

Wang Qi and his party encountered three waves of robbers along the way. Unfortunately, they were all dealt with by Wang Qi, Xia Houhu and his party. They killed them all and robbed some dry food.

In late December, Wang Qi and his party had already arrived outside Huang County, the seat of Donglai County.

Huang County, Donglai County Government.

It stands to reason that Huang County, as a county seat, should be relatively prosperous.It's a pity that Huang County is in a mess today, the territory is extremely depressed, and there are few people in the city.

Wang Qi and his party walked all the way, and they were also inquiring for news along the way.

The county magistrate of Huang County had been killed long ago.

Today's Huang County has no master.

But the bandit entrenched in Huang County was a man named Wu Cha.

Wu Cha himself occupied Huang County.

However, most of the time, Wu Cha was not in Huangxian City, but found a mountain forest outside the city to be a bandit.

The reason why he didn't enter the city to station was very simple. After a while, some people would return to Huang County.Then, he can loot a wave.After a while, he went to plunder a wave and kept cutting leeks.

Therefore, Wu Cha was firmly established in Huang County.

Wang Qi never managed Wu Cha, and let Du Can lead the way, so he went straight to the south of the city.

Du Can knew Zong Xixiang's residence.

So just go straight to the house.

A group of people rode on the road, and it didn't take long before they arrived outside Zong Xixiang's residence.This house is very barren, just two houses with earthen walls, and there is not even a bamboo fence outside the yard.

There are no tiles on the house, but thatched tiles are fixed and laid on the roof.Such a house can block the scorching sun for a while, but once it rains, it cannot block the heavy rain.

Du Can sighed and said, "My lord, Zong Xixiang's life is a bit difficult, and all the houses are very simple."

Wang Qi said: "It's okay, I'm here to see him, not his house. As long as Zong Xixiang is talented, everything will be fine. If Zong Xixiang has no talent, even if the house is luxurious, I won't set foot here." .”

Du Can nodded.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Can went straight forward, and he knocked on the door, but the door kept knocking, but no one came to open the door.

The door was not locked.

Du Can pushed the door directly.

Crunch!

The door was pushed open, Du Can waved his hand and said, "My lord, please!"

In the room, the light is extremely dark.

It is December now, there is light snow outside, and there is no sunlight, making the house even more dark.

Wang Qi took advantage of the light and scanned the room.

There are simple tables and chairs, and some books.Wang Qi went forward and picked up a book. Because there was no light in the room, he couldn't see the contents of the book clearly, so Wang Qi went to the door and read the book with the help of the light outside.

In the book, it records the changes in the astrology and weather, as well as when it will rain, when the season will get colder, what is the situation of heavy rain, and what is the situation of drought, all of which are recorded by Zong Xixiang.

Because astrological weather is not a simple matter, any kind of situation may deduce countless possibilities.Therefore, many changes from the astronomical phenomena are very detailed.

In the back, it is about geographical topography and landforms, and the description is quite detailed.

After Wang Qi read it, he became more and more frightened.

He has seen the records in the books in later generations.However, what he saw was the summary of later generations of astronomers and geographers. Now Zong Xixiang has discovered these laws and summarized them, which is really not easy.

Such a person is extremely important.

In Wang Qi's heart, there was a thought that he must recruit Zong Xixiang.

Du Can walked around the room and said, "Young master, the current situation should be that Zong Xixiang is going out. He is now in the city, because he can't resist his shoulders and can't lift his hands. What he can do is to be a pawn for others." Staff, or copying books for others. Especially now that many of the rich have left, his livelihood is difficult, and he must have gone out to make a living."

Wang Qi said: "Don't worry, let's wait."

A person like Zong Xi is not a talent in the eyes of many dignitaries.

Even, it is not doing business properly.

But in Wang Qi's eyes, this is an extremely important talent.

Even strategic talent.

With such a talent, he can take a step ahead and have an advantage over others.

Du Can didn't see anyone right now, so he could only wait.

Time passed little by little.

The snow outside the house continued to fall, and it even became bigger.Everyone came under the eaves and waited quietly.The goose feather-like snow fell outside the house, forming a layer of snow on the ground.

Wang Qi waited quietly.

Suddenly, he moved his ears and heard footsteps.

Wang Qi looked up, only to see a middle-aged man walking on the street outside.

The middle-aged man was stumbling around, with a sad expression, his body was even more dirty, and his clothes were worn out.In such a cold weather, his clothes were thin, his face was pale, and his lips were purple from the cold.

The person who came was Zong Xixiang.

"Aman, it's dad who's sorry for you."

"Aman, I'm sorry, Dad."

Zong Xixiang walked, talked and muttered to himself, looking decadent.Even Wang Qi and others were standing at the gate under the eaves, Zong Xixiang never noticed, completely immersed in his own world.

People staggered and were extremely mourned.

There was even dried blood on Zong Xixiang's forehead, which seemed to be caused by kowtowing.

When Du Can saw Zong Xi like this, he also frowned.He stepped up and said, "Brother Zong, what's wrong with you, what happened to you?"

Zong Xixiang raised his head and looked at Du Can blankly.

After a long time, he regained consciousness in his mind and recognized Du Can.

With a plop, Zong Xixiang knelt down on the ground and said, "Brother Du Xian, please, save Ah Man. You are not like me, you are capable, please, help me save Ah Man. "

Du Can knew about Zong Xixiang's situation.

Aman is the son of Zong Xixiang. His nickname is Aman, and his real name is Zongxuan.

Du Can pointed at Wang Qi and said, "Brother Zong, I can't help you. But my lord, Wang Qi, is capable and can help you. If anything happens to you, tell the lord, please help."

Zong Xixiang looked at Wang Qi, he knelt on the ground, quickly moved forward, and said with his head on the ground: "Young Master Wang, please, save my son, save Ah Man. He is only seven years old, so he cannot be ruined like this." It's gone!"

While speaking, Zong Xixiang burst into tears.

The whole person was extremely sad, and even his emotions were on the verge of collapse.

Wang Qi frowned suddenly, and asked, "Zong Xixiang, you can't save your son in this state. Even in your state, you can't even explain things clearly."

"Stand up and calm down."

"Then tell me what happened, and explain it carefully."

Wang Qi looked calm, and said quickly: "I can help you only if you explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly. Otherwise, if you don't explain clearly, I can't help you."

"Yes, yes, I am calm."

Zong Xixiang stood up and nodded hastily.He took a few deep breaths in succession, forcing himself to calm down.

Chapter 287

Zong Xixiang's eyes were flustered.It's just that at this moment, he has no choice. He doesn't even know Wang Qi's identity, but he has to trust Du Can's recommendation.

Therefore, Zong Xixiang didn't think too much about it.

No matter what, the person in front of him is willing to help, which is a glimmer of life.

Zong Xixiang immediately said: "My son Ah Man was captured by the bandit leader Lu Jia in the city."

"Lu Jia is a man in his mid-thirties. He is very cruel. He has killed countless people, and he has a habit of Longyang. He especially likes children. This time, besides Ah Man, there are a few other children."

"I went everywhere to ask for help, but neither the merchants in the city nor the rich families in the city were willing to help."

"No one dares to offend Lu Jia."

When he said this, Zong Xixiang's body was trembling constantly, and he looked worried, and said: "It's been almost half an hour since the children were arrested, in case, in case the children are abused by Lu Jia, I... "

Speaking of this, Zong Xixiang's eyes were full of tears, and she kept crying.

Even more helpless.

It is said that men do not shed tears lightly, Zong Xixiang is worried about his son now, and he is about to collapse.

Wang Qi said in relief: "Don't worry, it's not dark yet, people like Lu Jia have a lot of things to do, the children should be safe for the time being. You lead the way, we will go directly to Lu Jia's residence and snatch the children out."

"Good, good, good!"

Zong Xixiang hurriedly responded.
