On the fifth day after leaving Jiangyuan City, Wang Chen returned to this county town again.
The first thing he did after coming back was to go to Iron Furnace Camp to find his master Wang Hui to return the horse.
As soon as they met, Wang Hui asked: "Has everything been done?"
"done."
Wang Chen nodded, and at the same time presented a gift that he had already prepared: "This is a little bit of my heart from my apprentice, please accept it."
He didn't receive any training from his master before, but he made up for it this time.
"I'm determined."
Wang Hui smiled happily.
He took Wang Chen as his disciple to pass on the mantle. Because he understood Wang Chen's situation, he didn't care about the issue of cultivating him in the first place.
Coach Wang is also good at this.
But Wang Chen was still very happy that he could remember the kindness between master and apprentice.
After taking the wooden box from Wang Chen and opening it, Wang Hui was stunned.
Inside this wooden box, there is an old wild ginseng with intact roots. Judging from the texture of its skin and the reed bowl, it is over two hundred and nearly three hundred years old!
You must know that today is different from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Wild ginseng that is a hundred years old is considered a treasure. Wild ginseng that is two to three hundred years old is enough to be crowned with the word "treasure" and can be called treasure ginseng.
The price is naturally very expensive, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
After all, this kind of great tonic can be used to save lives and cure diseases, as well as strengthen energy and replenish blood, so the demand is huge.
Wang Hui is old and has been seriously injured in the past, so it is almost impossible to die of old age.
But this old wild ginseng has a lot of potential, allowing him to live a few more years!
Wang Hui didn't expect that Wang Chen would give him such a gift.
He doesn't care about gold, silver and jewelry, but it's really hard to refuse a ginseng plant.
After closing the lid, the bloody-robed coach couldn't help but ask: "Did you bring back the things from home?"
"Bringing some of it back."
Wang Chen replied: "The enemies and family property are still left over there, and we can take them back later."
Wang Hui sighed in his heart.
What he fears most is that Wang Chen is young and energetic, and insists on going to Anyang for revenge regardless of the difference in strength, and ends up losing his life in vain.
However, Wang Chen is so mature that he doesn't look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy at all, and he is so cool-headed that it's scary!
This kid is bound to become a great player!
"I accepted this gift from you so shamelessly, my teacher!"
Wang Hui put away the wooden box decisively, and then said: "Next, you are going to work in the county below. It is very inconvenient without a mount. You can keep the yellow horse outside, and there is no need to return it."
In fact, this horse is not his, but there is no problem in paying for it.
Compared with the precious ginseng sent by Wang Chen, the value of Huang Pingma is much worse!
Wang Chen cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Master."
He was not polite because this horse was indeed very good. It could travel thousands of miles in a day and a night, making it very convenient for transportation.
"You and I, master and disciple, don't need to be polite."
Wang Hui waved his hand and took out a thick book from his arms: "This secret book records the experience and insights of serving as a blood-clothed guard for the master for decades. Take it with you and take a moment to read it. You may learn something from it. reward."
Wang Chen quickly took it with both hands: "Thank you, Master!"
Wang Hui chuckled and said: "Go, Wei Baihu is waiting for you in the city. He has already arranged your whereabouts, and I won't send you there."
It's not that he doesn't want to spend more time with Wang Chen, his apprentice, but the time is too tight. If Wang Chen comes back a day later, there might be trouble.
Wang Chen was a little surprised, but he still obeyed the master's arrangement and left Iron Furnace Camp and rushed back to Jiangyuan City.
This time, Wang Chen, who had changed into Feiyu uniform, walked into the Duwei Yamen in a grand manner.
"You came just in time."
As soon as he met Wei Zhengxiong, the blood-clad guard Baihu took Wang Chen to his office room and gave him a waist badge and a letter of appointment.
"We are very short of manpower during this period. The new recruits you have just trained will be assigned to work in prefectures and counties."
Wei Zhengxiong said: "I originally wanted to place you in Fucheng, but the smiling tiger did something wrong and didn't get the quota in Fucheng, so I had to transfer you to the county seat."
Wang Chen knew who the smiling tiger Wei Zhengxiong was talking about, but he didn't care: "The county is also very good."
County, prefecture, and county are the local administrative divisions of Daliang. As a newly recruited blood-clothed guard, Wang Chen has no chance of staying in Jiangyuan City unless he has a very solid background.
The next-level choice is naturally Fucheng below.
But Wang Chen can also accept working in the county. A low starting point is not a problem.
Wei Zhengxiong sighed and said: "Today's world is in chaos. In the past, when new blood-clothed guards came out, they would be sent to the capital at most. There is no reason to go to the county to garrison."
When he said these words, he lowered his voice: "Ling Zhiyuan, after you get down there, you should first learn more from the old man. Don't force yourself to do anything. The most important thing is to protect yourself. Do you understand?"
Wang Chen nodded: "Keep this in mind, kid!"
"As long as you get a few credits, I can transfer you up. It's not impossible for you to return to Jiangyuan City."
Wei Zhengxiong thought for a while and said: "The place I arranged for you is Linjiang County. The paganism there has been a bit fierce recently. There should be a lot of opportunities to make meritorious deeds. If you have the opportunity, take advantage of it."
The promotion mechanism of the blood-clothed guard system is very complete. The minimum guard level is one, and you need to accumulate merit to be promoted.
Small flag, general flag, hundreds of households, thousands of households, commander of the capital guard...
Although there are a lot of tricks here, it is undoubtedly much fairer than the civil service system.
Guys without strength and merit will not be able to get promoted if they try to flatter others, and even if they do get promoted, they will not be able to assume their due responsibilities.
After all, the blood-clad guards are facing the most ferocious enemy!
Wei Zhengxiong told Wang Chen a lot about the situation in Linjiang County.
Linjiang County is a county under Donglu Prefecture and is also the largest county. It is among the upper counties and has a population of hundreds of thousands.
Although the county town is not as prosperous as the city, it is still home to many people.
Linjiang County used to be peaceful and peaceful, but in the past two years, many strange things have happened, and demons are suspected to be at work. Paganism has revived in the local area, and evil temples have even been established to offer sacrifices.
In order to eliminate demons and heretics, the blood-clad guards in Linjiang County paid a heavy price and lost a lot of manpower during the operation. They are in urgent need of new blood.
Originally, in a situation like this, Wei Zhengxiong should not have arranged for Wang Chen to go there.
But Linjiang County is his hometown, and the Wei family in Linjiang can be considered a powerful party, so Wang Chen would not have been isolated and helpless in the past.
Secondly, it is too difficult to find a peaceful place nowadays. In comparison, Linjiang County is a good choice!
The most important thing is that if Wang Chen makes great contributions in Linjiang County, then Wei Zhengxiong in the county can speak for him.
Wang Chen certainly had no objection to this.
Due to the urgent urging from Linjiang County and the fact that Wang Chen's appointment had already been announced, he hurried to the county seat without even being able to stay in Jiangyuan City for one night.
