After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Mr. Xie smiled when he saw the two words written by Ming Jia. My cousin Xie Boyuan was right. This girl has very mature and keen views on many things.

"Already checking!" Mr. Xie raised his hand and wrote a few words. Then he wrote another line: "Master Yuan, you can return tomorrow!" He handed the paper to Mingjia.

Mingjia looked at the paper and didn't write anything else. She couldn't hide it from Mr. Xie, nor could she hide it from her master Xie Boyuan. Moreover, if she wanted to go to Liancheng to look for Ye Liangsheng in person, she had to be accompanied by an elder.

As long as dad is still serving as the magistrate of Qu County, he cannot leave Qu County easily. It was impossible for her to let her mother take her to seek medical treatment, so Master Xie Boyuan was a very suitable candidate.

Seeing that Mingjia had no feedback, Mr. Xie stopped talking about this topic.

Feng County in Chuanzhou is located in the northeast of Qu County and is currently being harassed by a group of grassland soldiers. The magistrate of Feng County has been missing for some time, and the county magistrate has been in charge of affairs recently.

A few days ago, there were several fights in the county over water shortages. There are many rumors in the county that disaster is coming from heaven and the entire Sichuan Province will suffer from drought for three years!

The magistrate of Feng County already had a headache to deal with. Since the day when the smoke rose from the border, Feng County began to close the city gates and prohibit anyone from entering or exiting the county.

The residents in the city immediately became a little out of control, and many people asked for the city gates to be opened to allow them to escape. Many shops in the county were closed. Suddenly, the doors of the shops were opened by angry people and a lot of goods were taken away.

Almost all the grain stores and cloth stores were looted, and some people even surrounded the county government office without fear of death. Each county government office has only twenty government officials, and not every government official is good at martial arts.

Some of the yamen servants in Feng County are ancestral yamen servants, and they only know a little bit of family skills. But when it comes to fellow villagers, I can't do anything. The county magistrate was just a scholar, and his family had some officials donated from their family fortune.

He usually stays in the county office to sort out documents, county annals, and various documents about Hezhou City, and rarely participates in the decision-making of county affairs. There is no county captain in the county, and the government officials directly obey the orders of the county magistrate.

At this moment, the magistrate of Feng County was walking back and forth helplessly, and several scribes were standing in the lobby tremblingly, looking at each other.

After thinking about it, the magistrate of Fengxian County clapped his hands suddenly: "Seal the city gate and let out smoke to ask for help! We can't let these mobs forcefully open the city gate!"

At this moment, a government official came to report: "County Magistrate, a mob armed with hoes, shovels, etc. as weapons attacked the east city gate. They must forcefully open the city gate and flee eastward!"

The magistrate of Fengxian County was a little angry, and his face turned red instantly. "Stop them!" The yamen servant stammered nervously for a moment: "Stop...I can't stop them! I've already...injured the yamen servant and ran away...ran away..."

The yamen officer's voice became softer and quieter as he spoke. He was able to come to report the news because he realized that something was not going well and hid quickly. Now there are several injured brothers at the east city gate. Those people are really cruel!

At this time, a scribe suddenly spoke: "Then go and close the city gate. If you leave, don't even think about coming back!" It has been four days since the smoke was heard from the Sichuan border, and there has been no more smoke, indicating that the current situation is The border was secured.

In four days, the vanguard of the Northwest Army should be not far from Chuanzhou. No matter what, it is the wisest choice to guard the gate of the county and wait for the Northwest Army.

"Yes, close the city gate. If there are any intruders again, let them go, but you can only leave and don't go back to the city!" Fengxian County Magistrate suddenly figured it out.

Soon, the injured government officials and soldiers guarding the city in Feng County were sent to the hospital for bandages, and the city gate was closed and locked again. Not only that, all the government officials went directly to the streets and beat gongs to announce that all residents who wanted to leave Fengxian County could gather at the south gate and leave the city in an hour.

However, once you leave the city, you cannot return to the city. Unless this battle is over, the invading grassland tribes are driven away or northwest reinforcements arrive, Feng County may keep its gates closed.

Suddenly, the people of Feng County were excited. The people who had originally gathered to demand the city gate be opened were hesitant. No one wants to leave home and flee, but if a real attack comes, the whole family will not survive.

After an hour, only a few families from the south gate wanted to leave, mainly because they had relatives in the southern town and they planned to defect there. As agreed, the soldiers guarding the city opened the door and let them leave.

Just when the magistrate of Fengxian County felt that he was very tired and wanted to find a place to sit down and rest for a while, another government official came to report that some people who had forced their way through the east gate had returned and were begging for help from the defenders outside the city. The door is open.

"You can't open the door! They didn't say why they came?" The county magistrate directly ordered that the city gate cannot be opened. The officer replied: "They said they encountered an army of grassland tribes in the east!"

All of a sudden, the people in Feng County were dumbfounded. "What? Prairie tribe? How many people are there?" The county magistrate wanted to run away quickly.

The yamen officer just repeated what the people outside the city gate said, but the people were in a panic and couldn't explain clearly. They were all kneeling outside the city, begging for the city gate to be opened. The adults were shouting at the children for crying, and they couldn't inquire about many things in detail.

"No! The prairie people are fast on horseback. What if the city gate is opened now and the prairie people are hiding outside the city?" The magistrate of Feng County already just wanted to save his own life.

The yamen servant took the order and went out. The more the county magistrate thought about it, the more he became uneasy. He directly called his scribes: "Go to Nancheng and keep an eye on it. No matter how they beg, they can't open the city gate!"

The scribe who was named started to tremble, but he did not dare to disobey the order, so he could only reply tremblingly: "Yes!"

Several grassland soldiers, dressed in Daliang people's clothes, hid in the crowd and knelt on the ground, just waiting for the county gate to open so that they could follow the crowd in.

The prairie soldiers hiding in the dark have their swords out of their sheaths and are ready to kill at any time. What I originally thought would be easy to accomplish has never been successful.

This official in Feng County could actually look at the people, crying and kneeling outside the city but not opening the city gate. The prairie people who finally knelt in the crowd couldn't bear it anymore. They were prairie warriors, and they wanted to keep kneeling with these untouchable soldiers.

In an instant, several grassland soldiers pulled out the long knives hidden in their bags and directly pulled over the people of Daliang who were kneeling beside them. The blade was pressed directly against the people's necks and shouted: "People of Daliang, open the city gate for me! Otherwise, I will kill them!"

The defenders and scribes who stood on the city wall and witnessed this instant change were a little dumbfounded, but more afraid. Fortunately, I didn't hesitate to open the city gate and let them in!

Moreover, the scribe who was sent here was breaking out in cold sweat at this moment. The county magistrate is so wise! As expected, these grassland Tatars are hiding nearby. If the city gate is opened, there will probably be few survivors in Feng County.
