Chapter 34 Rewards Received
Gao Shun was originally Ji Qiu's personal guard, and Ji Qiu treated him well.

Especially after returning from the Valley of Death, Ji Qiu rushed to Kaifeng City overnight, rescued Gao Shun's father from Gaojiawu Fort, and took the head of the head of the Gao family.

This made Gao Shun completely loyal and grateful to him.

After awakening the innate secret technique, he immediately recognized Ji Qiu as his master and became Ji Qiu's retainer.

Ji Qiu was extremely happy about this and appointed him as the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion.

In addition to the Royal Guard Battalion, the 1,500 rangers formed the Wei Wu Battalion, with Wei Yan as the battalion commander.

At present, both the Royal Guard Battalion and the Weiwu Battalion are trained in a unified manner.

Because they were trained by one person.

Xi Zhong!

Xi Zhong took the fifty surrendered halberd warriors and became the instructor of the Royal Guard Camp and Wei Wu Camp, and taught all the soldiers to practice the secret techniques of the halberd warriors.

Ji Qiu had tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass seized from the Yuan family’s military camp, as well as grain and grass purchased from the modern world.

With abundant food and grass and effective training, the training progress of the soldiers in the two battalions naturally made rapid progress.

In just ten days, they had all become ninth-grade junior halberd warriors.

Although he is still not as good as the ninth-grade peak halberd warriors in the Yuan family military camp, his combat power has doubled compared to the previous mortal level.

It has begun to become a strong army.

living room.

Shi Alai conveyed the imperial edict to Ji Qiu and handed a yellow imperial edict to Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu opened it and saw the words written in regular script inside: "I inherit the heavy responsibility of the ancestral temple, and bear the mandate of heaven. I rule over the four seas, and work hard day and night to seek peace and tranquility for the country and happiness for the people.

Taishan County, situated at a strategic point, surrounded by mountains, enjoys a dangerous terrain. It serves as a barrier to Yanzhou and the key to the Central Plains. However, in recent years, bandits have swarmed there, and traitors have run rampant, leaving border residents in utter despair. Public security urgently needs to be improved.

I have heard that Ji Qiu inherited his family's education since childhood, is well versed in military strategy, skilled in archery and horsemanship, and is loyal, brave and resolute.

In the past, whenever his hometown was invaded by bandits, Ji Qiu would always stand up and lead the local brave men to protect the country and the people. He repeatedly made remarkable achievements, and his reputation for virtue and righteousness spread far and wide in the village.

Now I specially appoint Ji Qiu as the lieutenant of Taishan County, in charge of the military affairs of the county.

In the autumn, we should perform our duties conscientiously, discipline the troops, arrest thieves, and defend against foreign invaders. We should ensure that no one picks up lost items on the roads of Taishan County, and no one locks their doors at night, so that the people living on the border can return to peace.

Anyone who neglects his duties and causes chaos will be severely punished according to military law and will not be tolerated.

I hope that you, the civil and military officials, will work together to protect the Han territory, live up to the spirits of our ancestors, and live up to the expectations of the people. I truly have high hopes for you!

"Congratulations, Master Ji, from today on, you are the Taishan County Magistrate.

The commander-in-chief also asked me to tell you that he has registered you in the Embroidered Uniform Guard and appointed you as a green-robed embroiderer, responsible for the affairs of the four continents of Yu, Yan, Qing and Xu.

"Master Ji is both the Taishan County Magistrate and a Green Robe Embroiderer. This is unprecedented in our dynasty and is truly cause for celebration!" Shi A congratulated Ji Qiu.

At the same time, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. Who would have thought that this merchant, whom he had originally looked down upon, had become a green-robed embroiderer of the same level as him in just over a month?
This is only within the Embroidered Uniform Guard. If we consider those outside the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Ji Qiu is also the Taishan County Lieutenant. Then Ji Qiu's comprehensive position is already above Shi A!
However, thinking about the many great things Ji Qiu had done during this period of time, he felt that it was only natural for Ji Qiu to receive these rewards.

After all, if Ji Qiu wasn't there, no one could handle the Yuan family's military camp alone!
To this day, Shi A can only sigh at Wang Yue's foresight.

Among the countless people in Luoyang, he took a liking to Ji Qiu at first sight and then strongly supported Ji Qiu.

This changed the almost desperate situation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Ji Qiu chuckled and said, "I am where I am today thanks to the support of Lord Wang and Lord Shi. I have prepared a small gift, and I hope you two will not refuse it!"

He was quite satisfied with today's result.

He successfully completed the transition from commoner to official, and became the Taishan County Commandant who controlled the military power of Taishan County. In the coming chaotic world at the end of the Han Dynasty, he had a foothold.

The reason for achieving this result is, of course, that he has made achievements.

But the support of Wang Yue and Shi A is also indispensable.

Overall, Wang Yue and Shi A are both okay.

Although there are some small thoughts, they generally follow the rules.

Of course, this was mainly because of the strength displayed by Ji Qiu, which made the two dare not act rashly for fear of bringing disaster upon themselves.

But the world is not black and white.

There's no point in nitpicking.

It would be great if we could find points of cooperation among the checks and balances.

"Thank you very much, Lord Ji. The commander-in-chief also asked me to tell you that His Majesty has agreed to your going to Qianjin Hall to select the secret technique. You can go to Qianjin Hall at any time." Shi A accepted the gift with a smile and said again.

Ji Qiu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said, "The two adults are indeed trustworthy people. I am very grateful for being able to go to Qianjin Hall to choose secret techniques!"

When he went out of the city to wipe out the Yuan family's military camp, he sent Ren Hongchang to bargain with Wang Yue.

At that time, Wang Yue agreed and recommended him to go to Qianjin Hall to choose a secret technique.

However, Ji Qiu did not hold much hope for this.

Selecting secret techniques from Qianjin Hall is a reward only available to the General of the Central Army.

There are not many people who can receive this reward as a mere county lieutenant.

Even with Wang Yue's recommendation, I'm afraid the result won't be very good.

But unexpectedly, Wang Yue actually accomplished this.

It seems that he has to re-evaluate the strength of Wang Yue and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Afterwards, Ji Qiu sent Shi A away, called Xi Zhong in, and told him everything that had just happened.

Then he asked, "Mr. Xi, do you think there is anything wrong with these rewards from the court?"

"Haha, sir, do you think there is anything wrong with these rewards?" Xi Zhong laughed and asked back.

Ji Qiu frowned and said, "I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel that there is something wrong with this reward.

But I can’t tell exactly where the problem lies. I always feel that this matter is going too smoothly, and that the court is too lenient towards me.

Although I have made great contributions to the court, I have to leave Luoyang and go to work in other places. It will be difficult for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to use me anymore. They should suppress me.

The most you can do is to fulfill all the promises you made to me.

What is the purpose of this extraordinary reward?"

"Haha, young master, you are neither arrogant when you win nor discouraged when you lose. The fact that you can think of this at this moment makes you a contemporary hero who surpasses countless others." Xi Zhong's eyes flashed with admiration, and he praised softly.

However, a gleam of light flashed in Ji Qiu's eyes. There was indeed something wrong with this matter.

Fortunately, he has a wise man like Xizhong by his side. Although he has not been subdued yet, he can at least ask him a few questions.

He quickly bowed and said, "I don't know what the mystery is. Please enlighten me, sir."
