Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Good Official

The County Magistrate couldn’t care about anything else; he immediately got dressed and rose, asking the steward as he walked out, "Which of our residences is still empty?"

"Madam has a total of two private residences, of which you gave one to Miss Zhao yesterday. There is still one near Dongsheng Tavern."

The County Magistrate hesitated and murmured, "Wouldn’t Dongsheng Tavern be too noisy?"

"Not at all, Dongsheng Tavern is actually the busiest place in Dai County. Perhaps knights-errant will like it since it’s convenient for them to gather information there."

"Then that’s settled. Find the keys and arrange for some people to clean up and prepare to welcome our distinguished guests."

"Yes." The steward bowed efficiently and retreated.

Having already entered the city, Bai Junjun was contemplating whether to rent two rooms at Dongsheng Tavern when she saw a chubby figure laughing heartily while cradling his belly on the main thoroughfare.

Bai Junjun squinted, and who could it be if not the County Magistrate.

"???"

And so, the County Magistrate enthusiastically led them to the new residence.

Just around a corner from this residence was Dongsheng Tavern, with many shops nearby offering all sorts of food and drink. Overall, it indeed was a golden location, a bustling commercial district.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli could find no fault with this place.

Seeing how the two young warriors liked it, the County Magistrate was overjoyed, his mouth unable to close from smiling.

After all, who would complain about having more exceptional individuals around. He wished he could have hundreds of them so that Dai County could be as secure as a fortress of gold. Not just Black Spider, even if Yuwen Jun came, he’d dare to put up a fight.

Seeing the obviously elated County Magistrate, the Uncle Master following beside him couldn’t help but remind him somewhat helplessly, "Didn’t you say, County Magistrate, that if Yuwen Jun really invades, we don’t need to resist?"

"Uh..." The County Magistrate touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Bai Junjun hadn’t expected the County Magistrate to take this stance and was somewhat curious.

After all, in the novels, not only were there corrupt officials, but there were also loyal and righteous officials, even County Magistrates who died for their cities were not few.

After yesterday’s interactions, she felt that this County Magistrate was one of the good ones in this land, yet how come he changed sides so quickly?

The County Magistrate declared solemnly, "Although I am a subject, I am also the parental official of Dai County. Behind closed doors, to say something so treasonous, my reputation doesn’t matter, but the people under my jurisdiction must not suffer.

Yes, my fierce resistance shows my loyalty, but these innocent people would suffer with me. But if I surrender, all the people of the city and even the villagers around Dai County could keep their lives. Tell me, what choice should I make?"

Mainly because he had no people. Those dozen or so people defending the city wouldn’t even be enough for the enemy’s one attack.

The County Magistrate had unspeakable difficulties.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli both laughed upon hearing this; the man was indeed interesting.

If the Third Prince ever heard these words, he’d probably lose more than just his head.

"It’s just us here, as long as you don’t talk, no one will know," the County Magistrate said, full of confidence, certain that these two friends would not tell.

"It’s still better to be careful," said Li Wenli with a chuckle, shaking his head.

Weren’t there always spies in ancient times? They would be fine, but what about eavesdroppers?

The County Magistrate also knew it wasn’t wise to say more and started touring the courtyard.

This courtyard was not as quiet and tranquil as the one Zhao Xiaomiao stayed in, but it was filled with the breath of life.

The spacious courtyard could accommodate a horse carriage, and the two-story wooden building had nine bedrooms.

They could finally realize the beautiful dream of one room per person.

Even more precious than one room per person was that each bedroom was equipped with high beds and soft pillows.

Even Xiao Shan, seeing this, couldn’t help but swallow; this really was a nice place to stay!
