The trip to Xiangyang took more than a month.

Enter the city lord's palace.

"My lord, I'm back."

Xi Zhongdao.

"Zhicai, thank you for your hard work."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, Zuo Feng is here and has been waiting for you for several days."

Xi Zhongdao.

Zuofeng!

Why did this dead eunuch come to Xiakou?

"Zhicai, where has Zuo Feng been these days?"

Qin Qi said.

"Zuo Feng doesn't need anyone to accompany him. He has the Imperial Guard soldiers with him. He has been wandering around Xiakou City for no purpose these days."

Xi Zhongdao.

"Forget it, don't worry about Zuo Feng. How are the rectifications in our Jiangxia region and suburban counties going, and what's the situation like with those county magistrates?"

Qin Qi said.

Xi Zhong shook his head.

"Lord, the situation is not very good. As soon as the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army arrived, the chief officials of several counties took their families and ran away. The Yellow Turban Army robbed them, and after leaving, the county magistrate returned to the county with his family members. It's so shameful.

.”

Xi Zhongdao.

"Zhicai, let me investigate carefully. Once this happens, we will arrest them all, search their homes, and put them in jail.

There are also families who colluded with the Yellow Turban Army. Don’t let any of them go. Their property will be confiscated and they will be interrogated carefully to see what other crimes those members of the big families have committed.”

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, as a result, we are very passive. We lack chief officers and have no suitable officials to take charge!"

Xi Zhongdao.

"Don't worry, check the subordinate officials. If they are of good quality and have good abilities, they can be promoted.

In addition, the two brothers of the Kuai family, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, have agreed to serve as officials and will arrive in Xiakou in a few days. At that time, they will be asked to recommend officials."

Qin Qi said.

What!

The Quin brothers!

That’s a great talent!

"Lord, have you really taken care of the Kuai brothers?"

The actor said happily.

"Zhicai not only took care of the Kuai brothers, but also invited Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong to the academy.

We will not be short of officials in the future. The main problem is the current difficulties. We should try our best to overcome them and slowly change them."

Qin Qi said.

Very good!

"My lord, I have heard from others that the two brothers of the Kuai family have great talents and are famous talents in Jingzhou."

Xi Zhongdao.

"Kuai Liang is good at internal affairs and is considered a good person, but he is not as good as Xun Wenruo. Kuai Yue is good at military affairs.

He is considered a first-rate talent, but not very impressive. Compared with Zhicai, he is not on the same level as an outstanding person."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, how should we arrange the arrangements for the two Kuai brothers?"

Xi Zhongdao.

well!

"Zhicai, let the two of them take charge of government affairs first! You still have to grasp the overall situation, there is no one else! If there is a talented person like Xun Wenruo,

You can free up your hands to focus on military affairs. There is a lack of talent! I feel that something will happen next year.

Maybe it's our chance to take over Jingzhou, an opportunity to have a good talk with Zuo Feng later and ask him to go back to the palace to communicate with the emperor."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, can you tell me what will happen?"

Xi Zhongdao.

"I can't tell you exactly. It's just a feeling that something will happen next year and the military will be mobilized to be prepared."

Qin Qi said.

hey-hey!

If there are no problems with the direction of history, the rebellion of the Changsha County and District Stars next year will definitely be an opportunity, and Sun Jian cannot take advantage of it.

"By the way, my lord, the order we sent out to recruit secluded people was only Xu Chu's. He was asked to stay in the Gaoshun barracks first because of his humble position.

Waiting for the lord to come back to decide how to arrange it. The other three, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Yue Jin, have accepted the gifts.

But after thinking about it, I guess they refused. Ju Shou and Tian Feng also accepted the gifts. They both said they like to live in seclusion.

I am not going to serve as an official. Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun are not at home. Taishi Ci’s mother, Zhao Yun’s brother and sister have been brought back.

Zhao Yun's brother is sick and needs treatment from the lord, and Taishi's dear mother also needs to be looked at because she feels not in good health."

Xi Zhongdao.

brush!

Qin Qi stood up.

Hahaha!

"Zhicai! It's good to recruit Xu Chu. Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun, as long as their families are here,

They can't escape, they will come sooner or later. At the beginning, it was just to do my best, not to regret, not to have hope."

Qin Qi said.

Damn it!

Xu Chu!

Lao Cao's direct bodyguard is extremely brave and can fight with Ma Chao for 300 rounds.

The key is that Xu Chu was loyal to Lao Cao and would not show mercy to anyone except Lao Cao, not even Lao Cao's son.

The best bodyguard in the world, the same person as Dian Wei.

hey-hey!

Lao Cao, I'm sorry, your bodyguard has been cut off.

But what?

Lao Cao had too many generals, and a few of them would have little impact.

"Where will Zhicai, Zhao Yun's brother, sister, and Taishi Ci's mother live?"

Qin Qi said.

"My Lord, the two families are arranged in the City Lord's Mansion. Anyway, there are plenty of rooms in the City Lord's Mansion."

Xi Zhongdao.

good!

"By the way, my lord, we found Xu Shu's family. No one was seen, but his mother was seen. However, the old man has to discuss it with Xu Shu. There is no news for the time being."

Xi Zhongdao.

"Don't worry! As long as you leave the letter and accept the gift, we will have a chance in the future. At least we have established a relationship."

Qin Qi said.

"Zhicai, is Zhou Cang back?"

Qin Qi said.

"I'm back. I received Mrs. Zhang's four girls and escorted them to Xiakou. Now Zhou Cang is temporarily staying under Gao Shun's command."
