Chapter 68: The County Magistrate's Sudden Idea
The evening breeze blows gently, caressing the people of Pei County as the sun sets.

After a day of hard work, the people of Pei County, on normal days, would have already been at home with their wives and children preparing for tonight's dinner.

But today's Pei County is a little different.

Because today, the most famous cavalry of the Qin Dynasty arrived in Pei County.

The Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms and swept across the world, all thanks to its supreme military power.

Therefore, it would be strange if the people of Qin did not have some curiosity about the Qin army, especially the Black Dragon Guards, who were known as the elite among the elite.

Especially for the people of Pei County, it would be good if this monotonous life could be a little more lively.

The black-armored knight on horseback, wearing armor and looking murderous, was enough to make one's hair stand on end just by looking at him from his horse.

Therefore, any common people who have seen these Black Dragon Guards would pat their chests and tell others what they have seen and heard today.

"You don't know, hey, when I saw those Qin cavalrymen today, my neck felt cold. I was really afraid that they would chop me with a knife!"

"Ah? Is it so scary? Isn't it said that the military discipline of our Great Qin is very strict?"

"What do you know?! It's because of the strict military discipline. If you block the way of these soldiers who are obviously out on duty, you will be chopped off!"

"Oh, so that's how it is. But they look really majestic! I feel my scalp tingling just by looking at them from a distance!"

"Hahaha, if not, how can we sweep across the six kingdoms? These are the Black Dragon Guards of our Great Qin!"

"..."

These conversations occurred in every street corner and alley in Pei County, sounding simple yet particularly proud.

At least, to Wang Rong as he walked along the streets, these words sounded really proud.

However, although he was proud, he did not forget his main purpose.

Find out the basic situation of Liu Bang, the head of Sishui Pavilion, and then make him "disappear" quietly as appropriate!
This task is not difficult. It's just a matter of trying to be as covert as possible.

After all, the other party is not a high-ranking official.

He doesn't have any powerful retainers, and it's even more impossible for him to have any outstanding skills.

Take advantage!

Wang Li, who had given the task to Wang Rong, was not worried about this matter at all at this time.

Because he was being flattered by Pei County Magistrate Xing Sheng and County Magistrate Lu Wen.

However, you two may not be very used to this kind of thing, so the flattery seems a bit stiff and rough.

Of course, Wang Li doesn’t really care.

As the third generation of the Wang family, his grandfather was the number one military strategist of the time. His father and grandfather joined forces to kill people all over the world.

In terms of military merit and combat achievements, the Wang family has already reached the top.

It can be said that all those who could fight had already been beaten by his grandfather and father.

This is a huge pressure for him.

After all, if he doesn't show enough genius.

That’s right, it’s not that they are not good enough, but that they are not talented enough. Then people all over the world will question them with words like “a good father and a bad son” or “not like their father or grandfather”.

The key point is, if such words really came out, he would have no choice but to swallow them.

Because his grandfather and his father were truly outrageous in terms of their battle records and military achievements, they were truly the ceiling of the Qin Dynasty.

"Captain Wang, what do you think this Young Master Yuan likes about Xiao He?"

"I'm not saying Xiao He is incompetent, but there should be many people who are more capable than him!"

"There are many who are not much different from him. Why doesn't Gongzi Yuan like them?"

Xingsheng didn’t know whether he was really drunk or pretending to be drunk. Anyway, he started mumbling nonsense under the influence of alcohol!
As we all know, drunken talk doesn't count.

Wang Li was born into a noble family, so he didn't see this kind of talk too often. Therefore, he handled it calmly.

"Xiao, the county magistrate, where is Mr. Xiao's talent? I don't know!"

"If it weren't for Prince Yuan's decree, I wouldn't have known that there was such a minor official in Pei County who was being targeted by the Prince Regent of the Great Qin."

"Wang is just a lieutenant. I have to do my job and do the work assigned by Master Yuan conscientiously. That is all Wang has."

"As for the rest, Wang doesn't want to do anything else!"

I have to say that Wang Li's words really captured the essence of the Wang family.

Wang Jian and Wang Ben both seemed to have outstanding military achievements, but in fact, they, father and son, were well versed in how to protect themselves.

The main point is to be low-key and honest, not to meddle in other people's affairs or to talk nonsense!
Although there will be fewer surprises, most of the risks can definitely be avoided.

But Wang Li gave his answer decisively, and Xingsheng was depressed.

Why don't you respond now?
How can I move on if you don’t respond?
After thinking about it, Xingsheng simply licked his face and went straight for it.

"Captain Wang, I actually do have some skills!"

"I have been a superior and a colleague to Xiao He for many years!"

"Look, why don't we go to Xianyang together with Xiao He this time?"

"This will be a great story by then!"

After hearing this, Wang Li looked at the Xing County Magistrate in silence and almost spit out a mouthful of tea on the spot.

No!

Bro, is it appropriate for you to praise yourself like this?

Even Lu Wen, who had hardly said a word, couldn't stand it anymore.

How come our county magistrate is such a person?

You really don't have any shame at all.

Wang Li took a deep breath and said to the county magistrate who was looking at him expectantly.

"Thank you, County Magistrate. Please forgive me for speaking frankly. I am only following your orders."

"In the military, one is one and two is two. There is no such thing as doing less or more!"

"So, no matter how talented the Xing County Magistrate is, I'm afraid we have to find another way!"

When Xingsheng heard this, his head suddenly drooped, and his whole body seemed to fade away, and he didn't say a word.

Lu Wen, who was standing aside, looked at Xingsheng's dead look and didn't know what to say.

This person is somewhat outrageous.

It was precisely because of Wang Li’s words that the banquet ended somewhat anticlimactically.

Perhaps Xiao He, who was concentrating on eating from beginning to end, was quite satisfied.

After all, it is rare to have such a sumptuous dinner on weekdays.

After everyone left, Wang Li hurried back to check on Wang Rong's "work progress"!
County Magistrate Lu Wen got together with his daughter Lu Zhi.

"Daughter, we were wrong!"

"I didn't expect that Xiao He would be valued by the Prince Regent. This will surely lead to a meteoric rise in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi wrinkled her nose and spoke in a domineering tone.

"Then... instead of chasing after Xiao He, why don't we go directly to find the Prince Regent?"

"Hiss... this idea seems to work!"
