Chapter 121 The New Anzhou Shepherd

After getting acquainted with the horse for a while, Pei Zhiqi tried to get on the horse, and the horse was indeed docile.

The matter was both urgent and important, so Pei Zhiqi didn't dare to delay. After saying goodbye to Wanyu Mountain, he immediately rode to the academy at the foot of the mountain with a whip.

When he returned to the academy on horseback, the old headmaster had already written the letter, and he was waiting for him at the door with Mr. Xie, and he had prepared a water bag and dry food for him.

"Remember, your task is to deliver the letter and send the reply back as soon as possible. I know that you have to find someone in Anzhou City, but remember that you must not delay this matter," the old mountain chief instructed in front of the academy gate .

Pei Zhiqi nodded and said, "Students understand that no matter whether they can find a wife or not, they will send back the letter in time."

The old mountain chief sighed softly again: "The newly appointed Anzhou Muchao Caiwang is a sloppy person. He used to be a small official in the north and wanted to worship his immediate boss as a godfather, but now he is in the southeast province and worships the chief envoy. Your Excellency is willing to be a student. In the letter, I have relieved him of any worries, and promised to benefit him. I hope it will work and save the people of this city!"

The old mountain chief raised his arm and patted Pei Zhiqi on the shoulder, and smiled at him: "Let's go, go early and return early."

"I won't say much more, you are a reliable student, come back early," Xie Youqi also simply warned.

"Yes", Pei Zhiqi saluted respectfully and bid farewell to the head of the mountain and the teacher.

Then he put away the things handed to him by the old mountain chief and Mr. Xie one by one, then lifted the skirt of his clothes and got on the horse.

There was a rush of hoofbeats on Jingde Mountain, and they went down the mountain from the gate of the academy.

The man on the horseback was wearing a green shirt and armor, with a light scarf, and whipped the horse towards Anzhou City in the north.

*

Boss Wan's map was very accurate, and Pei Zhiqi's journey went smoothly without encountering any bandits.

The horses also ran very fast. It would take half a day for ordinary horses to arrive. Pei Zhiqi only took about an hour and a half from Jingde Mountain to the gate of Anzhou City, and arrived at Anzhou City at noon.

Entering the city from the south gate of Anzhou, Pei Zhiqi saw that Anzhou City not only opened the city gate to welcome the refugees, but also served porridge at the gate, and temporarily built a few sheds at the gate to shelter the refugees from the wind and rain.

Judging from these deeds, Anzhou Mu didn't seem to be such an unbearable person, but the old mountain chief didn't think highly of him, Pei Zhiqi was puzzled for a moment.

He got off his horse at the city gate, asked the city gate guard where the state government office was, and then got on his horse and started on his way.

From the moment he entered Anzhou City, Pei Zhiqi looked around while driving, trying to find the lady.

When she left home and went back to the academy that morning, the lady was wearing a red dress.Pei Zhiqi kept searching among the passing crowd, but he didn't find the lady until the horse ran to the gate of the state government office.

The situation is urgent, so we can only send letters to the state government.

Pei Zhiqi got off his horse at the gate of the state yamen, tied the horse to a stake outside the gate, and then handed over a name card and a letter of introduction from the academy to the yamen guarding the gate, asking the yamen servant to inform the state herdsman on his behalf.

The yamen servant looked up and down at this strange scholar in blue shirt but armor, and when he heard that Pei Zhiqi said he was from Jingde Academy in the provincial capital, he didn't dare to delay, took his things and hurried in to report.

After a while, the yamen servant came out and waved to Pei Zhiqi, "Come with me."

Pei Zhiqi followed into the state government office, and walked hurriedly all the way, unexpectedly, the state shepherd was not in front of the hall, but in the backyard.

Entering a flower hall in the backyard, Pei Zhiqi saw the newly appointed An Zhou Mu. He was leaning on a chair and taking a nap. He was tall and fat, with a wide and round face. There are exotic fruits, sugar and snacks on the table, as well as tea and wine, as if enjoying themselves.

There was a thin man standing by the side of the table. He stood there respectfully. Pei Zhiqi guessed that he was either the master of the state yamen or the staff of the state pastor.

The yamen servant led him into the flower hall and left, as if you could do the rest yourself.

Pei Zhiqi entered the hall, but Anzhou Mu still didn't open his eyes, but the man next to him saw him, smiled at him, and then gestured to tell Pei Zhiqi not to worry, wait a moment.

Pei Zhiqi originally wanted to call out to Mr. Zhou Mu to wake up An Zhou Mu who was still sleeping in broad daylight when people were in trouble, but seeing the hints from the man next to him, he temporarily cooperated. He only bowed to the two adults and waited aside after the salute.

I saw the man standing next to Anzhou Mu approaching An Zhoumu, and said softly: "Master Chao, Mr. Chao? I just said that your chance to be promoted is coming. Wake up quickly?"

As soon as this sentence fell, Anzhou Mu poked his sleepy bubble, woke up suddenly, looked around moaning, and found a strange scholar in armor standing under the hall, and then looked at the man standing next to him. The man hummed indistinctly: "So it's Master... Who is standing in this hall?"

It was said that Pei Zhiqi was about to go forward to salute and announce his family name again, but was stopped by the master with his hand.

The master moved closer to Anzhou Mu again, and replied, "This person is what my subordinate just told you about, your chance for promotion."

The chubby An Zhou Mu seemed to have finally become interested. He moved his fat body up, cheered up, opened his eyes, looked at Pei Zhi and said in surprise, "He? Like a soldier, who is it? Why are you looking for me? Hurry up and talk about it, and leave if it’s boring, and delay my sleep.”

It was only then that Pei Zhiqi realized that it was not the newly appointed Anzhou Shepherd who told the yamen servant to let him in just now, but this master.

Meeting such an official in such an urgent situation, if he hadn't colluded with the adults in the provincial capital earlier, how could this Anzhou shepherd be so leisurely and calm at this time when the city of Anzhou was in danger?Pei Zhiqi was angry in his heart, but he knew that anger alone would not accomplish anything.

The master next to him seemed to be a sober person, Pei Zhiqi decided to cooperate with the master and work hard to get things done.

While Pei Zhiqi was thinking for a while, the teacher said, "This student from Jingde Academy, please quickly take a look at the letter from the teacher of the first assistant Mr. Zhang, the old head of Jingde Academy?"

Hearing Mr. Zhang, the first assistant, and Mr. Shanzhang from Jingde Academy, the Anzhou pastor seemed to be a little more energetic, and he sat up straight: "It turns out to be a distinguished guest from Jingde Academy! Master, why didn't you tell me earlier?" !"

The master smiled and said: "Master Zhou has spent a lot of effort to appease the refugees these days, so I want you to rest more and take care of your body..."

These words made Anzhou Mu very useful, and it still gave him a lot of face to say such words in front of the students of Jingde Academy.

It’s just that his emotional intelligence is not high, so he let himself out with the next sentence: “If you hadn’t nagged in my ears all day long, saying that if you don’t let the refugees enter the city, they will riot, and if you don’t give the refugees gruel, they will attack me. In this state government office, otherwise I would not be willing to give up the money, and let the refugees make the city a mess! Hmph."

Now Pei Zhiqi understood that the resettlement of these victims was done by the master coaxing the state shepherd.

It seems that the old mountain leader's evaluation is not fake at all.
