Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 4 Give you 100 person
Could it be that being called a county magistrate actually means going to war?
Does the emperor want Changqing to die on the battlefield?
Compared to Wen's shock, Meng Changqing was very confused. She didn't know what it was and had never seen it before.

"Your Majesty asked me to hand this thing over to you. With this token, you can go to the Liangzhou military camp to select a hundred soldiers as your personal soldiers."

This time it was Meng Changqing's turn to be shocked.

She knew that the princes and high-ranking officials had personal soldiers, but most of them only had 30 or [-] people, and the most were no more than [-] or [-] people.

But the number of people the emperor gave her was 100 people.

And I have never heard of the magistrate being assigned personal soldiers!
He also asked her to go to the military camp to choose.

Does this treatment really make her a county magistrate?
Couldn't he be the captain of the death squad?
"Mr. Meng?" Chu Mufeng looked at this child who only reached his chest. At such a young age, he was so important to His Majesty because of the merits of his father and brother.

I don’t know if he can afford His Majesty’s trust.

Meng Changqing stretched out his hand to take the token, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Lord Bai, and the brothers of the Royal Forest Army."

Back in the carriage, Wen told her the ins and outs of the token.

Wen Shi also changed his mind at this time, "Your Majesty may punish you on the surface, but in reality he wants to protect you.

The current prince is the son of the imperial concubine. You have been in contact with her in the palace, so you should know what kind of temper that person is.

If you treat the prince so harshly, she will never let you go.

Even if there is no action on the surface, there will be evil tricks secretly.

Your Majesty asked you to go to Liangzhou, I'm afraid he wanted to find a place that could protect you. "

Liang Jiujiu said: "Liangzhou is located at the border, and the people in the palace cannot reach out, but the place is dangerous and foreign enemies can invade at any time."

Wen said, "Liangzhou is a large territory, and not all counties face the enemy directly. It depends on where Beishan County is located."

"Madam, in your opinion, Beishan County is not a dangerous place, right?"

Wen Shi shook his head, "We won't be able to make a conclusion until we get there."

Meng Changqing lay back on the bed again, her mentality was very good, "Even if it is dangerous, there are soldiers guarding the border. If it is not our turn to go into battle to kill the enemy, mother, don't worry."

At worst, she would run away when the enemy came.

A good official can't do it, but she is best at being a weak official.

Wen also said: "It's useless to worry. We should just go out for fun and wait until we get there to make plans."

Voices from all directions came from outside the car, "Madam, breakfast is here."

Liang Jiujiu leaned forward to pick him up.

"Auntie, Doctor Hu said that the young master's medicine needs to be mixed with two more flavors before it can be ready in a while."

"Okay, you go have breakfast and tell everyone that we will leave as soon as the young master drinks the medicine."

"Auntie, there is one more thing." Bafang asked, "Will the team of imperial guards who came just now eat with us in the future?"

That's a real problem.

Twelve big men need a lot of rations.

"Wait until I ask Madam."

The carriage's carriage was not soundproof, and the door was still open.

When Mrs. Liang came back with the lunch box, Mrs. Wen had made a decision.

"Whether they eat or not, we must prepare their share." Wen said, "We will cover all their food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"This will cost a lot more."

"Although they have other salaries, they are here to protect Changqing, so naturally we have to treat them well."

"They say they are protecting Changqing, but the way I saw them just now..." Liang frowned, "You go up and talk to them. Except for the leader, everyone else is on horseback.

They don't have much respect for you, let alone Changqing, a child. "

Wen didn't care about this, "The Royal Forest Army are mostly descendants of nobles. In terms of origin, they are nobler than us. They are just obeying the emperor's order and staying with Changqing temporarily.

We don't need their respect either, as long as they remember their duties. "

While they were talking, Meng Changqing had already opened the lunch box and started eating by himself.As soon as you eat it, you can tell that this is not made by her chef.

Her cook is very skilled, but unfortunately the cook is a native of the capital. The whole family is in the capital, so it is naturally impossible to follow Meng Changqing and his family to Liangzhou.

understand.

This is breakfast, who made it?

Rice would be unwilling to grow if it knew that it would taste so unpalatable when made into porridge.

It's bitter, salty and has something like eggshells in it.

Madam Liang noticed her expression of whether she wanted to vomit or not, "What's wrong? Do you feel sick in your stomach?"

Meng Changqing had difficulty swallowing, "My stomach doesn't feel uncomfortable, but my tongue feels uncomfortable. Who made breakfast?"

Mrs. Liang picked up the bowl and took a sip.

Who wastes food so much?
"If I had known earlier, I would have gone over to take a look."

Mr. Wen didn't believe in evil, "It looks good, so it shouldn't be so unpalatable."

"You'll know when you try it."

Wen Shi said, "Eat the cake. The cake is brought from home."

The three people in the carriage could bear it, but the people outside couldn't.

Bafang was screaming outside, "I'm telling you that you didn't peel off the shell cleanly! You asked me to give this kind of thing to the masters to drink, how can you be so embarrassed!"

Laicai immediately yelled back, "How dare you accuse me? It was obviously you who lit the fire, but you didn't even know the bottom of the pot was burnt!"

Meng Changqing knew that it was these two people who did it. When others cooked the food, he at least knew that he would take a bite first.

"These two kids," Ms. Liang said, "It's really ugly to have an argument in front of outsiders. I'll go over and try to persuade them."

"Wait!" Meng Changqing's original relaxed expression changed.

"what happened?"

Meng Changqing breathed lightly, ignored the noise outside, and listened carefully to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, urgent and chaotic, "Don't get out of the car yet."

She expected it to be true, those people on horseback were coming towards them.

"Who is coming!" This was Chu Mufeng's voice.

"Appeal."

Probably the visitor had been stopped by the Royal Forest Army.

"Who are you? How dare you kidnap General Meng's son!"

Hearing this voice, Mrs. Wen opened the curtain and immediately walked out, "Dongwen."

Several people on horseback had their hands on the knife handles at their sides.

The middle-aged man who took the lead was Dong Wen whom Wen just called.

He was full of vigilance and asked Wen, "Madam, who are these people?"

"It's the Royal Forest Army sent by His Majesty to protect Changqing." Wen quickly walked over and said to Chu Mufeng, "Master Bai, they are family members of the mansion, there is no need to stop them."

Chu Mufeng then put away his sword and stepped aside.

Several people on the horse dismounted one after another, separated Wenshi from the imperial guards, and protected Wenshi as they walked towards the carriage where Meng Changqing was.

"What happened?" Wen asked in a low voice.

Dai Dongwen is the steward of the Meng family. According to Wen's arrangement, he should stay in the capital to guard the Meng family's house and property.

"Madam, three masked men sneaked into the house early this morning. We tried our best but could only kill one of them.

There was no mark on the man's body, and the murder weapon was a high-quality steel knife. Ordinary blacksmith shops don't have that kind of material at all. I don't think their kung fu is wild, they probably... came from the palace.

Someone in the palace wants to kill the young master. "
