According to the Tang system, the number of households in Dengzhou exceeded 40,000, which was Shangzhou. The governor of Dengzhou was the governor of Shangzhou, and his official position was from the third rank. This rank was much higher than that of the governor of Zhongzhou and the fourth rank of the six ministers of the capital. From the third rank, this was the upper rank, and he could wear a purple and goldfish bag.

Cui Yunqing, the current governor of Dengzhou, was born in the Cui family of Qinghe. He was a magistrate of the Chaosan official and Zhu Guo. He served as the governor of Huang, Yue, Cao, and Pei for fourteen years. He was just transferred to the governor of Dengzhou this year. He was a descendant of the Qinghe Cui family of Shandong Gaomen. He was born in the Jinshi. His life was ups and downs, and he was an old man in the officialdom.

He had just arrived in Dengzhou for half a year, and he had not figured it out, and felt that he was restrained everywhere. The report from Wang Chong and others was sent up, but it made him lit up and he thought of a good plan.

Cui Yunqing saw Li Jing and others in front from afar and looked at him carefully. He had a good-looking vision but found that he was worried that Li Jing and others had just washed their feet and went ashore. He was afraid of scaring them with such a big scene. But now it seems that these guys not only did not look nervous and restrained, but seemed to enjoy the scene in front of him very much. He couldn't help but nodded slightly. The guy was taught, and the guy was the one who was most afraid of being the guy who could not sit on the table.

Cui Yunqing immediately bowed to Wang Chong, Li Jing and others: "The warriors of Dengzhou Tuanjie Battalion returned victoriously, and I am late to welcome him!"

Seeing that the governor was so polite, Li Jing and others dared not sit safely on the horse and received the gift. They quickly got out of the saddle. Although Li Jing and others didn't know much about gifts, they were not panicked at this time. Anyway, Wang Chong and Zhang Hong could follow suit.

After Wang Chong and Zhang Hong dismounted, they immediately knelt on one knee, which was the highest etiquette in the army. Li Jing immediately gave Xiao Shitou and others a wink and all followed suit. Wang Chong and Li Jing were all united soldiers, while Cui Yunqing, as the governor, also served as the Dengzhou regiment training envoy. It can be said that Cui Yunqing is the highest direct superior of Li Jing and others. They will be with Cui Yunqing in the future. If they don’t pay their respects to the boss immediately, when will they wait?

"We are all under the tent of the envoy Cui, and it is our duty to fight the enemy. We encountered pirates on the way, but fortunately we were defeated and returned by chance. In the battle of Chishan, we wiped out the bandits of Xihuozhai. The monkey-headed and the scar-faced face were also cut by Beizhi and others. However, after winning, we suddenly encountered more than 100 bandits of the pirates of "Zhendonghai". We fought with them and were outnumbered, so we had to break out of the siege. One person was killed in battle and seven were injured. We failed to bring back the head of the bandits of Xihuozhai. Beizhi was extremely ashamed, so we asked the envoy Cui to punish him!" The reply was Li Jing. It was not the turn of Li Jing to reply like this, and Wang Chong or Zhang Hong should answer it. However, after the two got the advantage of Li Jing's huge advantage, they also thought about Li Jing. Like this expected reply, they gave Li Jing the opportunity to deepen his impression in Shangguan.

Sure enough, Li Jing's reply was polite and polite. He not only told the truth, but also highlighted their fighting courage and shirked the majeure of responsibility. Moreover, he also showed respect and compliments to Cui Yunqing everywhere.

These words really worked. Cui Yunqing raised her eyelids unexpectedly and looked at Li Jing carefully. He saw the two flags behind Li Jing and smiled and said, "I guess this warrior is the archer Li Guangyong Sanlang Li Jiyu. I know you, in the battle of Chishan, you turned the tide. One person shot and killed four bandits. It is said that when you finally encountered Zhendonghai, you were all relying on your sharp shot to retreat the enemy to protect everyone from breaking through successfully, right?"

Li Jing replied cautiously: "My lord is too much. In fact, although the humble man can use cavalry and shooting, he dare not say he can shoot sharply. This time he can win by chance, it is entirely due to his bravery and courageous battles and good command. Zhang Zuoli asked Zhang Zuoli to provide advice at the critical moment to stabilize the morale of the army, and other united soldiers and brothers to fight. What the humble man did is actually just very ordinary. Although he killed several thieves, he actually assisted by his brothers."

"Assist?"

Li Jing's expression was fixed and he explained with a smile: "Although those words were killed by humble hands, they were actually due to the restraint and assistance of other brothers. Therefore, when it comes to true, humble men dare not be able to make full use of their achievements!"

Cui Yunqing nodded and his impression of Li Jing increased his favorability. He also realized that Li Jing was young, but he was extraordinary. What was even more rare was that he not only shot a good arrow, but also spoke so well. In front of a third-rank official like him, Li Jing, a Tutuan villager, was not even timid. It was even more rare that he spoke clearly and did not have the intention of showing greed for merit.

"I see that you speak and speak, but I don't look like ordinary people in the countryside. Have you read books? Are you a child of a family of officials?"

Li Jing was also a little surprised when he heard Cui Yunqing ask this. Cui Yunqing came to greet them in person, obviously having the element of a show. As for a show, a few nice words should be over. But why did Cui Yunqing get more and more questions? Did he value him just a few words and develop a love for talent?

"I really read the words of the envoy Cui since I was a child. I have read books such as "The Book of Songs", "Poetry Book", "Mao Songs Biography", "Five Classics Justice", "Book of Rites", "Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Music", "The Records of the Grand Historian", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "The Strategies of the Warring States", "Wuzi", "Sima Fa", "Wei Liaozi", "Six Strategies", "Three Strategies", "Li Weigong's Questions", "Tao Te Ching", etc. I have read many books, but I am humble and stupid. Many places know the truth but do not know the reason, and I speak out and make the envoy laugh."

"Oh, since you have been studying since childhood, why have you learned such a good martial arts?" Cui Yunqing was also a little surprised to hear that Li Jing had not only read books, but also had so many titles.

"Mindun was poor. When he was seven years old, his father was killed in the chaos of Qiu Fu when he was a county director in Tancheng. He was raised by his widow's mother. When he was sixteen, his elder brother, who was only twenty-one, died in the rebels of Pang Xun four years ago. A few months ago, the youngest brother and the younger brother helped his neighbors pick up seaweed on the beach. He was mistakenly considered a private salt dealer. His elder brother was beaten to death on the spot. He survived by luck. That year, the elder brother passed away. He had just obtained the qualification of a village tribute to be an imperial examination in Beijing, and then stayed at home to support his family business with his second brother. He usually farmed, practiced martial arts with his brother in his spare time, and went up the mountain to hunt. The countrymen were already very strong, and their ancestors had been at Pinglu Military Academy for generations, so he practiced martial arts."

Li Jing thought about this for a long time before thinking about it. The opportunity was rare. Cui Yunqing was not only the governor of a state, but also the commander of the team training. If he could really gain his favor, as long as Cui Yunqing said, Li Jing would be able to fight for ten or twenty years less.

Opportunities are hard to come by. Although this is inevitable that there is some speculation, Li Jing came from later generations after all. He knew that opportunities were taken by himself and letting them miss them was the one that he regretted the most. However, how to recommend himself in front of Cui Yunqing, you must not only show your abilities and advantages, but also speak appropriately, and not leave an impatient impression on the other party.

Li Jing knew that Cui Yunqing was a Jinshi, so he specifically told him that he had studied and had obtained the imperial examination qualification in order to impress him from the perspective of being a scholar at the same time. When talking about his miserable family background, it was a bit like sympathy. At the end, he mentioned that the ancestors of the Li family were Pinglu Military Academy, which was also known that the children of high-ranking families such as Cui Yunqing looked down on ordinary people, so he mentioned the identity of the ancestors of the Li family.

Sure enough, Cui Yunqing only knew that Li Jing was a rural peasant from Yingding. When she saw Li Jing himself, she thought this person was good. When she heard him talk about his identity, she couldn't help but feel good about Li Jing when she was in power.

After studying and obtaining a village tribute status, he was good at studying. My father was a county director and his ancestors were Pinglu Military Academy for several generations, so his ancestors were also considered a family of officials. Li Jing had studied and was quite talented, and had extraordinary martial arts skills and could be used as a martial arts master. He was really a good young man.

"Well, you have made great contributions this time. I wonder if you have any ideas or expectations? Is it fame, money, or land?"

"Return to the Cui Envoy, the Li family has served the court for generations. The humble ones do not seek fame, wealth or land, but I ask the Liu Envoy to give the humble one a chance, a chance to serve His Majesty, the court, and the Liu Envoy!"

When Cui Yunqing asked what Li Jing wanted, she kept paying attention to him, observing the expression on his face, and observing his eyes.
