"Drive! Drive!"

"Da da da da..."

The horses are galloping on the official road. They have strong legs, slender necks, graceful figures, heads with slender jaws, and eyes with cold and fierce eyes.

Anyone who knows how to look at horses will naturally recognize them at a glance. These are war horses carefully bred in Longxi.

If you are not an elite member of the military, even high-ranking officials will rarely find one.

Occasionally there would be a convoy driving along the road, and when they heard the sound of galloping horses behind them, they would all look back.

People who can walk on the official path are not officials, but at the end of the day they are family members of officials.

But when they saw the rider on the horse, who was all dressed in black satin and silver-patterned brocade robes, with a horizontal sword on his waist, their expressions all changed, and they immediately hurriedly got out of the way.

The war horses roared past, and soon they rolled up thick smoke and dust on the ground. In a moment, they were far away from people's sight.

"Who is he!"

The carriage curtain was gently pushed open by a hand.

The hand was very white, and every fingernail was carefully trimmed. The moment the window was opened, a faint fragrance wafted out of the car, making the entourage beside the carriage trance.

After a moment, he realized what he was talking about and hurriedly reported back: "Your Majesty, he is from the Shenwu Guard."

"Oh! Keep going."

The carriage responded lightly, seemingly not touched by the words Shenwuwei.

This can't help but admire me secretly in my heart. In today's imperial court, no one in the imperial court should tremble when they hear the words "Shenwuwei".

Only his eldest son can be so calm.

"Keep on going!"

The entourage shouted, and the carriage was pulled onto the official road again and continued to move forward.

"Shenwuwei!"

In the carriage, Xu Tong closed his eyelids slightly, and the information about Shenwuwei came to his mind.

The Shenwu Guards are the current royal guards of the Queen. Over the past few years, the Queen has become old and her suspicions have become more and more serious.

He became more and more distant and wary of the original bad guys and the Imperial Guard.

Instead, they relied more and more on the Shenwu Guards. Now that they were so powerful, they had the power to kill local officials below the third rank first and then punish them later.

Local garrison troops can be mobilized at will.

Wherever he goes, his power is comparable to that of a governor.

The reason why the Shenwu Guards are so highly regarded by the Queen is that according to rumors, those who can enter the Shenwu Guards are all closely related to the Queen's natal family and the Wu family.

However, Shenwuwei rarely leaves the city of God, so why would he appear here now?

Xu Tong closed his eyes, and his identity and information kept pouring into his mind.

And my identity actually has a lot of origins,

Her father was Prince Gong Li Xiao, who was granted the title of Sichuan and Shu, because his mother was originally a concubine in the palace. She had neither political resources nor family power, and was completely a marginalized role.

But perhaps it was precisely because his sense of existence was so low that he was luckily ignored by people during the several purges after the empress ascended the throne.

As Li Zheng, the son of Li Xiao, that is his current identity.

The eldest son of Prince Gong's Mansion could actually hide in his fiefdom, eat, drink and dress honestly for the rest of his life without worrying about it.

But the bad luck is that Li Zheng is also a weird person. It is inappropriate to let the prince go, but he must be an official.

This made his father Li Xiao very angry.

How long has it been since you still want to be an official?

Originally, Li Xiao would never agree to this matter, but Li Zheng went so far as to spend his own money to establish a relationship. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, this matter was reported to the prime minister of the dynasty.

The current prime minister didn't have any good intentions, so he actually gave Li Zheng an official with a stroke of his pen.

He went to Yuyang, Youzhou to serve as a river supervisor.

So there is a story that he sat in a carriage and went to Yuyang, Hejian, to take up a post.

After learning his identity, Xu Tong immediately received news from the prop book.

"Identity 1: River Inspector

Mission description: Yuyang was an important garrison town for the imperial court, but in recent years, tragedies have occurred one after another, so that the original project to repair the river has never been completed. The imperial court appointed river supervisors three times, and as a result, one person died and two committed suicide.

Task requirements: Identify problems and monitor the smooth completion of the river project.

Mission time: March.

Mission penalty: extremely high!”

Regarding his identity mission, Xu Tong did not feel any difficulty at all.

In fact, when I got the identity mask, several key points were already written clearly on the mask.

For example, my identity mission is clearly written on the mask, Yuyang River God.

The Jiutiao River in Yuyang is not only an important military town, but also the largest transportation terminal today. Therefore, the people along both sides of the river have a high level of worship for the river god.

After Xu Tong thought about it in his mind, he probably understood that his identity and mission were inseparable from this river god.

Now that we have a goal, it's easy to handle. The rest will be discussed when we get to the place.

“Team building task 1: get promoted and make a fortune.

Before leaving this script world, the higher the official position you hold, the higher the team level you will obtain. If you lose the official position, the mission will fail."

The prompt sound continued, this time it was a prompt for a team building task.

After hearing the prompt, Xu Tong thought for a while. His current official position as river inspector was only from the fifth rank. If nothing happened to him, this official position would have guaranteed him to build a team.

However, the fifth grade should be the lowest level certified team. If you want to have various team benefits like William's team, your official position must reach at least the level of the third grade.

Although there is not much difference between the fifth rank and the third rank, in fact, if an official from the fifth rank wants to climb to the third rank, if there is no way, he will have to wait at least more than ten years. This is still under the condition of good political performance. If the political performance is good,

Almost, it is even more difficult to get promoted.

At this time, the task prompts are still continuing.

"Side mission 1: Make friends with Shenwuwei and Wufan

Mission description: No matter how well the river supervisor does his job, it is not easy to enter the official career. At this time, if there are noble people to help, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

Mission requirement: Become friends with Shenwuwei Wufan.

Task time: January

Mission penalty: None.”

Seeing this mission, Xu Tong's eyes flashed, and he remembered the Shenwu Guards who had just leaped past his carriage. It seemed that the purpose of this Shenwu Guards was not simple.

"Your Majesty, if you go further ahead, you will find the inn. If you miss the inn, you may have to spend the night in the mountains tonight."

At this time, the voice of the entourage came from outside the carriage.

Xu Tong raised the car window slightly with his fingers and glanced at his follower Guo Yi who was standing by the window.

I saw that Guo Yi was not very old, probably in his early thirties and in his prime.

With thick eyebrows and big eyes, a Chinese-character face, two pairs of bulging veins on his temples, and a fierce glare in his eyes, he looked like a practicing practitioner at first glance.

And it's still a very powerful one.

But there is still a long way to go before becoming a great master.

Even so, such a person would have been considered a top-notch master in the world in the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to Guo Yi, there were also twelve followers who came with him. Naturally, these followers were all from Prince Gong's palace.

It was obvious that his father, who had not yet been masked, did not trust him and arranged for him to be by his side.

It seems that although I have lost my fortune, my status this time is not bad.

Hmm... Sure enough, there is someone in the court who is easy to get things done.

"No, just keep on your way. It's best to get to the place as early as possible."

Right now, they are only two days away from Yuyang, so there is no need to waste time halfway.

"yes!"

Guo Yi responded, but secretly sighed in his heart. The prince was young and vigorous, but he didn't know that he would not be so comfortable at night if he missed the inn.

But then I thought about it, it was okay, there was no harm in letting the prince experience the sufferings of the world.

The group of people immediately quickened their pace, hoping to travel as much as possible while it was still not too dark.

Suddenly, the speed of the carriage also began to increase, which made Xu Tong who was lying inside not feeling so comfortable. Even though it was wrapped in thick cushions, it was jolted quite hard.

On the way, Xu Tong casually asked Guo Yi what kind of kung fu he practiced.

In the end, it was okay if Guo Yi didn't speak, but Xu Tong was shocked when he did.
To be continued...
