Luoyang, in the palace of the Tang Dynasty, Huangfu Chaobo has just finished his administrative work and is about to return to the palace. However, he heard a report from the palace people outside the palace that it was Lao Du and Xiao jiejie who led several people outside the palace and were asking for a meeting. Huangfu Chaobo was in a daze. He was just about to ask someone to take them to the back palace. Later, he thought that they had several people with them, probably some of their subordinates. After thinking about it, he went back to the main hall and asked someone to take them to the main hall.

But a moment later, Huangfu Chaobo saw Lao Du and some of them leading them into the palace. They knelt down and saluted respectfully: "we'll meet the king!"

"No gift!" Huangfu Chaobo got up, quickly walked up to Lao Du, helped them up, motioned the others to get up, and said with a smile, "I think you should be here these days. I didn't expect you to be so slow."

"Haha, we didn't worry all the way. After we got ashore from Baima port, we walked slowly all the way. Anyway, we didn't want to be so fast." Lao Du also said with a smile;

"Lao Du and I are not in a hurry, but they still need to be arranged by the boss." Although Xiao Jie is not as calm as Lao Du, he is much better than a few years ago.

After that, they introduced the people behind them to Huangfu Chaobo one by one. They were Zhao Shou, Luo Yan, Tang Shi, Wang Du, and Yan Jun, their subordinates. The five men went up to pay homage to Huangfu Chaobo one by one, and formally established the relationship between the emperor and his ministers.

Huangfu Chaobo once again accepted the five people's kowtow, and then said to the five people: "you have been working hard all the way. You had a good rest in Luoyang years ago. After the new year, Gu will arrange your official posts. However, in order to make you feel at ease, Gu can tell you that you and the five people went to the county before the new year's meeting. First, they were under the general of Pang Taishou Hotan. After a period of time, they became familiar with the world It's going to be a different task. "

Five people smell speech, all is a long sigh of relief, quickly kneel down again to thank. After a few words of encouragement, Huangfu Chaobo sent people to send them out of the palace and back to the house that had been prepared for them in Luoyang.

After the five left the palace, Huangfu Chaobo waved back all the palace guards. When there were only three of them left in the hall, Huangfu Chaobo took a long breath of relief and sat down on the Dragon chair and said to Lao Du: "well, there is no outsider. It's our brother three. I have to carry it all day long, but I'm tired..."

After waiting for a long time, Huangfu Chaobo didn't see anything happened to them. He sat up again and looked at them. However, he saw that they were still sitting there. He couldn't help but wonder, "ah, what's the matter with you? How long has it been since we haven't seen each other

Xiao Jie stretched out his head, looked around and said in a low voice: "old Boss, how about Let's talk in another place? When you sit on that, I always feel flustered when I look at it! "

Lao Du nodded to one side.

Seeing this, Huangfu Chaobo quickly got up and said, "well, let's go to the side hall. It's a study."

With that, he stood up and walked towards a small door beside the main hall. When Lao Du saw him, he quickly got up and followed him.

As he walked along, Huangfu Chaobo was still saying: "well, you don't know, as long as you go back to Luoyang, these old guys will chatter in their ears all day long, saying that I am the king of a country, and every word and deed is the example of all the people, so that I don't even know how to sit and walk all day long..."

However, what made him feel strange was that the two people behind just walked silently, and did not see them answer. They finally entered the side hall. After the door was closed, Huangfu Chaobo heard a long sigh of relief.

"Boss," said Xiao Jie, "I'd better not come into this palace in the future." At this point, he also looked out of the palace with a lingering fear. It seems that he should have received a lot of etiquette education before entering the palace.

Lao Du nodded his head with the same feeling and said: "boss, you don't know, before entering the palace, several of us were told by the ceremony officials outside the door and were about to faint."

"You know, you know my pain!" Huangfu Chaobo gave them a white eye and said, "well, now we're the three brothers. Tell me something about the journey."

Lao Du nodded and carefully sorted out his thoughts. Then he told Huangfu Chaobo about the war in Bingzhou, and how they fled to Liaodong after joining Zhao Zilong's army. In addition, when they arrived in Yanbei County, they left all their family members to Huang Xu, and then several of them were under the protection of some guards , passing by Luoyang, while Xiao Jie put in two words from time to time.

It took them more than half an hour to tell the whole story. After listening to them, Huang Fu Chao Bo was silent for a moment. Then he said, "when are you two going to start working?"

"Ah Xiao Jie was stunned and said, "boss, what else do you want us to do here? This time, we left all our soldiers and family members in Liaodong, but we wanted to have fun. Over the years, we have accumulated a lot of income according to what you said. Although we have already resigned from our original jobs, we are still in the game with the advantages of these years The money is worth more than ten years of work. ""Well, it's true. In recent years, I've seen a lot of things in front of the county magistrate. Let's talk about this game. If you want to say that it's not a problem to be a let go county magistrate or something, but no matter how difficult it is, it's probably enough." Lao Du also added;

Huangfu Chaobo shook his head and said: "don't say more. Since you trust me and are willing to follow me, you must be assigned two positions. Otherwise, next year I will start to work in Bingzhou. Then, you two will be in one county. In those years, if you feel great pressure, I'll be happy I'll give you all the captains and captains. Basically, you just need to control the overall situation. "

"Ah..." Two people smell speech, is a Leng, just about to open mouth, Huangfu Chaobo wave to stop them.

"Listen to me," Huangfu Chaobo said, "don't worry, although the county you stay in may not be a very good county, even if you are not sure, there are still two subordinates at the bottom? Besides, even if you can't do it well, I won't blame you, so don't have any pressure in your heart. "

"What's more, not only you two, but also Xiake, I'm going to let him take the position of Taishou, so no matter what, you should take the position of Taishou. Who says you two are my brothers?"

Lao Du's mind should be more flexible. He immediately responded. He grabbed the little Jie who was about to speak and said, "boss, don't worry. We understand, and we won't let you down."
