Chen Yongnian was just about to leave when he heard this, so he could only stop and nod in response, "Yes! Your subordinate obeys!"
At this moment, it seems that his relationship with Zhang Xiao and Xie Xing is only that of superior and subordinate, nothing more.
This was also the time when Chen Yongnian and Xie Xing seemed most unfamiliar with each other.
However, once they chose their own paths, there was no turning back.
Some people travel together for a while, but still part ways at the crossroads ahead.
When Zhang Xiao left the government office, he made a grand entrance, attracting many onlookers.
Chen Yongnian stood aside with his head down, introducing Zhang Xiao to the streets of Yunhe County and its local customs.

"Yes, yes... Last year during the floods, Lord Fang even paid out of his own pocket to rebuild our homes, which saved us from being displaced."
"My lord, please, release Lord Fang!"

Once there is one, there will be two; once there are two, there will be three.
More and more people pleaded for Fang Ziming, almost blocking Zhang Xiaoqian's path.
