Yuan Xi clenched his fist and said with a ugly expression: "Is it because of Xi's policy that made Yuan Zhi dislike it?"

"Young Master, you can't let Yuan Zhi leave. He probably won't come back again after he leaves. If you have anything to say in person, you can tell me clearly." Pang Tong said anxiously. In his heart, Yuan Xi is definitely the best master, and Yuan Zhi must have misunderstood something.

"Ji sends someone to find him immediately," Chen Ji said hurriedly.

Gan Ning looked at the anxious three people in front of him, and was stunned. Then he waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Marty, you misunderstood. Yuan Zhi left, but he took the document and went to Guangyang one step ahead of time to participate in the assessment of the prefecture."

"What!" Yuan Xi and the other two were surprised again.

"Shi Zhuangshi Gan, please explain it clearly, what's going on?" Chen Ji felt that his heart could not stand it anymore.

Gan Ning was embarrassed to scratch his head, looked at Yuan Xi, and said very admiringly: "After Yuan Zhi came to Youzhou, he inspected all aspects. He felt that the Marquis had great ambitions, cherished the people, respected the soldiers, pity the talents, was generous, domineering and decisive. He had a complete range of directions, occupied the time, had a good location, and was harmonious. If he could sweep the grassland and the north of the world, he would have been able to create extraordinary achievements in the future, so he would have surrendered to the Marquis long ago."

Yuan Xi's face suddenly showed excitement and said, "Since that's the case, why did Yuan Zhi leave first?"

Gan Ning smiled bitterly, "Yuan Zhi said that even if he was hiding it, Pang Zhizhong would definitely find out that he had his identity. The Lord Shi must come overnight, but Yuan Zhi had his own arrogance in his heart. Since he participated in the Juxian Pavilion's assessment, everything must follow the rules, so he set out one step ahead."

"Oh! Xi's Yuanzhi!" Hearing this, Yuan Xi slapped his thighs hard and said worriedly: "Why should he do this? Xi doesn't need him to show his abilities. No one knows better than Xi. Just like Shi Yuan, how can he set off alone? What should I do if something happens?"

"Ning also persuaded me. We encountered many dangers along the way. Although Shi Yuan had some martial arts skills, he was still too far away. But he said that if both of them left, Prefect Chen would definitely notice it, and he would not be able to leave, so he asked me to stay and explain to the Marquis by the way." Gan Ning was also helpless.

Yuan Xi's eyes narrowed, he grabbed Gan Ning's arm and shouted: "Return to the Prefecture, the Prefecture"

"Marquis" Pang Tong suddenly stood in front of him and smiled: "Since Yuan Zhi hopes to gain status and recognition with his real talent and knowledge, the Marquis might as well be successful. When he wins the first place in the literary hall of Juxian Pavilion, the Marquis will pick him up to the governor's mansion with dignity. Only then can he feel at ease and other scholars will not be convinced."

"But Xi really wants to see him too much," Yuan Xi sighed. Xu Shu was the first. Because of his ability, the talent who took the initiative to serve was not because of kindness, status, or plunder. This made him feel deeply moved in his heart, in addition to a sense of accomplishment.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "The Marquis loves talents and is admirable, but there is no need to rush for a moment. Since Yuan Zhi is interested in the Marquis, he will never leave. The Marquis traveled all night, and even if he is not tired, the soldiers can't bear it."

"Yes! Marquis, Yuan Zhi's great talent, will not have any accidents. At most, a few days later, you will definitely meet each other," Chen Ji also comforted.

Looking at the two of them, Yuan Xi couldn't help but sigh, looking out for the distance with anticipation and worry.

....

At about noon, the scholars who passed the prefectures were proudly heading towards Jixian, the prefecture of the prefecture, under the escort of a group of soldiers.

At this time, at the gate of Ji County, a man with a sharp aura, a calm and upright look, and a strong-looking man with a black cloak came here with a horse. After looking at the tall city wall, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Finally arrived."

Needless to say, this person is Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi who are ahead of him.

After stepping into the city, a very lively scene suddenly caught Xu Shu's eyes. He saw people coming and going, shops of all kinds stood on the street, peddlers and pawns were shuttled back and forth, and many foreigners were also involved. A sense of peace and happiness touched the mind.

"It's really worthy of being the prefecture," Xu Shu sighed.

"Big brother, where are you going?" At this time, a young guy with a young age and eyes turned suddenly came to Xu Shu, looking at his age, no more than ten years old.

Xu Shu smiled, squatted down and said curiously: "What are you asking about this?"

"You are a naive person and you must not know Jixian. I can take you there. Just three copper coins are enough," the little guy explained.

Xu Shu frowned, "You are so young, you want to make a living, where are your parents?"

"My parents have passed away long ago," the little guy replied, with not much sadness in his tone.

A trace of pity flashed in Xu Shu's eyes immediately, and he took out a few cents from his pocket and said, "Take it!"

After a look, the little guy shook his head directly, "No need for a young man, I am not a beggar, I use my own labor to exchange for money, and I don't need food. The governor's mansion has allocated us, but the marquis said that although we are young, we must learn to be self-reliant in addition to barely eating and drinking. I was arranged at the gate of the city to help the first time people lead the way."

A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Shu's face and said, "You are so young, you are not afraid that others will take advantage of you or bully you."

The little guy suddenly looked up proudly and said loudly: "They dare not, I have this."

The little guy took out a small sign with the word "网" written on it, "This is issued by the governor's mansion. If anyone is lying to the debt, I can sue the county government directly. The marquis said that whoever dares to take advantage of the children will never give up easily. Many people have been beaten, and one of them is a gentry."

Xu Shu's heart was shocked and he said gently: "It seems that you respect the Marquis very much."

"Of course, the Marquis is our benefactor. He not only gives us food, drink, accommodation and transportation, but also teaches us how to be self-reliant. In our hearts, he is supreme and no one can surpass him. When I grow up in the future, I will join the army and eliminate all enemies for the Marquis." The little guy immediately said with a fanatical look.

"What!" Xu Shu's pupils shrank, and a little guy actually worshiped Yuan Xi like this. What a fame he had. It was unprecedented. It was just a Youzhou now. If Yuan Xi conquered the world in the future, what would it reach?

"Big brother, do you let me lead the way?" the little guy asked expectantly.

Xu Shu was stunned and then smiled and said, "Of course, you should take me to the vicinity of Juxian Pavilion."

The little guy was stunned and immediately admired: "Big brother, are you a scholar who came to Juxian Pavilion to participate in the assessment?"

"Yes," Xu Shu nodded.

"Then I don't want your money. The people in Juxian are here to serve the Marquis. The gentlemen said that you should be grateful to the Marquis. If you do things for the Marquis, I can't take your money." The little guy shook his head and said.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shu suddenly sighed and murmured: "Young children still know the righteousness, Youzhou is really a place where the hidden dragon is."
