"Cough cough cough…"
An old cough came from nearby.
The eyes of the Embroidered Uniform Guards shrank. When did this person come? How could they not know?
He followed the voice and looked.
He saw an old man walking over with a walking stick.
The old man had an aged expression, but his turbid eyes occasionally revealed a sharp light, as if he could see through the truth with a single glance.
The originally thick black hair of his youth was now as white as snow in winter.
Although his body was thin and weak.
However, his back was very straight, and he could feel it from dozens of meters away.
A baleful aura was approaching!
"This old man…Was he once in the army? Such a dense killing aura. Only the elite soldiers in the army who had been through hundreds of battles could have such a murderous aura.”
Lin Zhexian sighed.
This strange old man gave him a feeling.
It was as if he had encountered a veteran on the battlefield.
Although I'm old.
However, the saber in his hand was still sharp and could still protect the country and cut off the heads of enemy generals!
The old man seemed to be walking slowly.
However, in just a few breaths of time, he had already arrived in front of Lin Zhexian and the others.
His murky eyes swept across.
Doubt flashed in his eyes as he asked in a hoarse voice,""May I know why you have come to Zhishui Village?”
Lin Zhexian narrowed his eyes.
He had already confirmed that this old man was definitely a soldier when he was young.
Moreover...
And a general in the army!
He looked old and weak, but with just a gust of wind, he would be blown to the ground.
But his footsteps were steady.
His thin and weak body contained a huge explosive force. He was not an ordinary old man. If they were to really fight, Lin Zhexian estimated that…
It should be able to fight to a draw with him.
Lin Zhexian slowly said,"From today onwards, Zhishui Village will be officially named Zhishui County, and I will be the head of Zhishui County." Old man, you can treat me as a county magistrate, right?"
Hmm?
Zhishui Village changed its name?
This young man with an extraordinary bearing was actually a county magistrate?
He didn't believe it.
The old man did not believe it.
Lin Zhexian looked like he was at most seventeen to twenty-five years old. How could he be such a young county magistrate at this age? Who would believe that?
Moreover, Zhishui Village.
Although it was just a new village, it had only been established for a few years. In just a few years, a village had inexplicably become a county?
The old man's eyes became alert as he said,"I am the chief of Zhishui Village, but I have never heard of Zhishui Village being changed to Zhishui County.”
"Are you lying to me?"
He shook his head.
Lin Zhexian had expected that no one would believe him.
After all, wasn't there an old saying that a hairless mouth would not do a good job?
He said.
It was just that young people were unreliable.
Lin Zhexian took out a roll of golden silk from his bosom. Under the old man's surprised gaze, Lin Zhexian said indifferently,"Old man, you don't look like an ordinary farmer. I'm sure you can recognize this thing.”
The old man frowned.
Wait a minute!
He was stunned. His turbid eyes burst out with a bright light, and his face was filled with disbelief.
His lips parted slightly as he muttered with a trembling voice,"This..." This was... This is an imperial edict!"
That's right.
Lin Zhexian took out an imperial edict.
Furthermore, the old man could tell at a glance that this golden silk was an imperial edict.
Therefore, he was not an ordinary person either.
"I don't have to lie to you."
Seeing the old man's shocked expression, Lin Zhexian smiled.
“.........”
"This old man is the village chief of Zhishui Village, surnamed Li and named Yuan. Greetings, Lord County Magistrate!”
The old man was silent for a few breaths.
He finally admitted Lin Zhexian's identity.
As for why he didn't doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict? As long as one was not a fool, no one would do something like forging an imperial edict.
Otherwise-
Even if you have the merit of following the dragon, it's still a serious crime of beheading!
It would implicate the nine clans!
"Li Yuan? Could it be…Could it be that you are Li Yuan, the Great General Li who led 5,000 hussars and defeated 50,000 Sui soldiers ten years ago?”
Li Shi Min asked in surprise.
Li Yuan…
Lin Zhexian pondered for a moment and quickly recalled that he seemed to have heard of this person before.
He was once one of Li Yuan's generals.
Later, because of his name, he violated Li Yuan's taboo. Coupled with the slanderous words of the traitor at that time, he was inexplicably dismissed from his military post.
Become a commoner.
"Zhishui Village, Zhishui County! I remember now!"
Li Shi Min continued," My father once set up a village. The villagers are all disabled veterans and their relatives. Is this the village?"”
