The guard spoke to Xiao Yunfei and the others, and one of them hurried in to report.

At this time, Zheng Qinggang was handling affairs in the county government office when he suddenly heard his guards hurriedly reporting.

"Sir, Xiao Yunfei and his wife and children have arrived at the gate of the county government office. Should we let him in now?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zheng exclaimed.

His face was full of disbelief, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground in shock.

The news he received was that Xiao Yunfei's family began exile ten days ago. Only ten days had passed. It was impossible for Xiao Yunfei's family to come to him so quickly.

And from the moment he received the news, he didn't expect to see Xiao Yunfei again in this life.

The current exile rules were obviously aimed at Xiao Yunfei. In his opinion, this was a death sentence. Even Xiao Yunfei, who had never been defeated on the battlefield, could not escape this disaster.

But now the guard said.

"Sir, we have checked the supporting documents and there is no problem."

"How is this possible? He actually arrived alive?"

County Magistrate Zheng muttered to himself.

There must be something fishy about this matter.

He had met Xiao Yunfei once from afar when he was working in the capital.

If someone is pretending, he will know it at a glance.

County Magistrate Zheng immediately ordered the guards.

"Quick, bring Xiao Yunfei and his family in!"

The guard took the order and left. Soon, he brought Xiao Yunfei and his family to the county government office.

In the county government office, Magistrate Zheng was sitting behind a desk.

Magistrate Zheng was of skinny build, and although his official uniform was still neat, it showed some signs of wear and tear.

At this moment, his thin face was full of doubts. His slender eyes flashed a shrewdness from time to time, and his sparse beard trembled slightly as he spoke.

When he saw Xiao Yunfei and his family coming in, County Magistrate Zheng was startled at first, and then a look of confirmation flashed in his eyes.

He recognized that the person in front of him was actually Xiao Yunfei.

Several years have passed since the last time they met, and Xiao Yunfei's murderous aura is now stronger than before.

Seeing the once famous general now in such a miserable state, County Magistrate Zheng's eyes flashed with complex emotions, including sympathy, awe, and a hint of relief.

Fortunately, he was only demoted to be a county magistrate in the remote Ningguta, instead of becoming a criminal like Xiao Yunfei.

Alas, even General Xiao Yunfei has fallen to this point, which shows that this world is truly hopeless.

For people like Xiao Yunfei, not only will they not treat them as slaves, they will also give them certain courtesy and respect.

Magistrate Zheng stood up and went to greet him personally.

"Are you really General Xiao Yunfei? You may not know that I once met you. At that time, you returned victoriously and rode majestically on a horse on the street. I never thought that we would meet here now. It's really fate that plays tricks on us."

Magistrate Zheng sighed, looking very emotional.

Xiao Yunfei saw that the county magistrate recognized him and came to greet him personally as a courtesy, so he raised his hand, saluted and said.

"Yes, things are different now. I will have to trouble County Magistrate Zheng to take care of me from now on."

"Okay, okay. Are these your wife and children?"

County Magistrate Zheng looked at Su Miaomiao and the five children.

At this time, the children huddled behind Su Miaomiao, looking at County Magistrate Zheng timidly.

When Su Miaomiao heard the other party mentioned her, she curled the corners of her lips and nodded towards the county magistrate as a greeting.

Xiao Yunfei said.

"Yes, sir, there are quite a few of us, and there is also a doctor outside who came with us. Can you give us a bigger house? It's too small and I'm worried it won't be big enough."

"You brought someone with you?"

"I met him on the road. I felt sorry for him, so I let him come with us. He's not a criminal, so he shouldn't have to do corvée, right?"

"Of course not, but this is the first time I've seen an exiled person bring people here. It's really rare."

Magistrate Zheng said this, waving his hand.

"Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about those little things. I didn't expect you to get there within a month. And it only took ten days?"

"Sir, military orders are as heavy as a mountain. I dare not disobey them. For the sake of the lives of my relatives, I will work day and night without any slackness."

Seeing that Xiao Yunfei still didn't say how he got there, County Magistrate Zheng asked more directly.

"General Xiao, to be honest, everyone thought you would die on the road. I'm really curious, how did your family manage to get here so quickly?"

"Sir, we came here in a van."

Xiao Yunfei answered frankly.

He and Su Miaomiao had already discussed it. Instead of letting people guess, it would be better to tell the truth.

After they said it out loud, they no longer had to hide it and could use the van openly.

Xiao Yunfei had expected County Magistrate Zheng's reaction.

I just saw the other party asking with a curious look on his face.

"A van? What is that? I've never heard of it."

"Sir, this van is a magical means of transportation. It is extremely fast and can take us on a fast journey."

"Oh? There is such a magical thing. I really want to see it."

"It's not that simple, sir. If you'd like, I'll take you to see it."

"Okay, then I'll go take a look."

County Magistrate Zheng immediately agreed.

He had to see what the van was, so that when his superiors asked about Xiao Yunfei's situation, he would be able to tell them everything.

County Magistrate Zheng followed Xiao Yunfei to where the van was parked. The moment he saw the van, he was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close. He walked around the van several times, and couldn't help but marvel at it.

County Magistrate Zheng said excitedly.

"Is this a van? It's faster than riding a horse? This thing is so new, can I go up and try it out?"

As you have just arrived, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the officials here.

Xiao Yunfei nodded in agreement: "Sir, please."

County Magistrate Zheng got into the car carefully under the guidance of Xiao Yunfei.

Xiao Yunfei sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

The car started slowly, and County Magistrate Zheng held the seat tightly, his face showing both nervousness and excitement.

As the car speeded up, County Magistrate Zheng widened his eyes, looked at the scene flying backwards outside the window, and kept exclaiming in amazement.

“This is simply amazing!”

Xiao Yunfei drove County Magistrate Zheng for a short ride. After they came back, County Magistrate Zheng got out of the car still reluctant to leave.

Then, County Magistrate Zheng turned slightly, winked at the armored man standing nearby, and spoke in a low voice.

"Go and arrange a thatched house for them, somewhere remote but still habitable. Try to make it as big as possible for their family. Remember, don't be too harsh, but don't let them feel that they can live easily."

The armored man cupped his hands and replied, "Don't worry, sir. I understand."

After County Magistrate Zheng gave his instructions to the armored man, he said to Xiao Yunfei.

"General Xiao, I have already arranged everything for you. He will take you to where you are staying in a while."

"Thank you for your care, sir."

"General Xiao, now that you are here, make the best of it. I hope you can stay in Ningguta and not cause any trouble."

"Sir, now that I have come here, I will behave myself."

"You must obey the assigned accommodation and labor arrangements. If you disobey, your superiors will blame you and I will be hard-pressed to explain myself."

"Don't worry, sir. I will obey you."

Before the two of them separated, County Magistrate Zheng hesitated again and again, but still couldn't help but speak.

"The general is famous. If he can put the past behind him and work hard, there may be a chance for improvement."

"Thank you for your advice, sir."
