"Don't worry, although it's not busy in the mountains, the meat tubes are full and there are animal skins in winter, so it won't be cold."
Long Chen carried the woman on his shoulders and talked as he walked.
The woman was surprisingly quiet on the shoulder, neither struggling nor cursing.
When he arrived at the door, the smiling man saw Long Chen carrying a woman out and asked with a smile: "Aren't you buying fish oil? Why are you buying a wife?"
Long Chen smiled naively and said, "I bought her because I saw she was beautiful and fertile."
The man smiled and said, "It's good if you can have children."
Long Chen smiled and carried the woman back to the inn. He was watched all the way while walking.
Back at the inn, the waiter was surprised and asked: "Brother, why did you buy someone?"
Long Chen said: "Buy it back to be your wife."
The waiter asked doubtfully: "Does sister-in-law know?"
Long Chen said: "I don't know yet. I'll kill it first and tell you later. Bring my horse over."
The waiter immediately went to the backyard to fetch the horse. Long Chen did not go upstairs. He directly put the woman on the horse and said: "You sell the furs in my room for me and I will split the account with you. When I come next time
, you give me more money.”
The waiter was stunned for a moment, he had met a high-roller.
"Big brother is generous, big brother can rest assured, big brother will give birth to a big fat boy."
Xiao Er was so happy.
Long Chen led the horse and walked towards the west gate.
When they arrived at the door, the soldier guarding the door stopped Long Chen and asked, "Where did this person come from?"
Long Chen laughed and said, "Mr. Xu's family bought it."
When the soldiers heard about Xu's house, they immediately let him go.
After leaving Qianjiang County, Long Chen walked west for more than ten miles and saw a person waiting on horseback by the roadside. It was Zhang Qian.
Long Chen rode over, and the woman sat in front with a dull expression.
Zhang Qian saw the woman and asked in shock: "Sir, this is..."
Long Chen did not explain, but asked: "Where are they?"
Zhang Qian said: "Camp by the river."
Zhang Qian led the way, and Long Chen rode to the river, where they saw Lonely Jiali and Wu Jian, as well as many military tents.
When the woman saw the military tent, her dull face suddenly became confused, and she turned to look at Long Chen.
Dugu Jiali and Wu Jian came over on horseback and said, "Lord Long."
Long Chen dismounted and said to the woman: "Come down."
The rope on the woman's body had long been untied, and she could not move on her own.
"Who are you?"
The woman did not dismount, but asked Long Chen doubtfully.
"This is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and the chief eunuch. Long Cheng'en, the general of the pirates, has been appointed by the Holy One."
Zhang Qian revealed Long Chen's identity.
The woman looked shocked, as if she didn't believe Long Chen's identity.
"Bring her in."
Long Chen didn't explain too much.
Zhang Qian picked up the woman and took her into the military tent.
After a while, Long Chen changed his clothes and came in. The woman was sitting on the ground, with the wound on her body still bleeding.
"Give this fish oil to her."
Long Chen put the fish oil on the table, and Zhang Qian asked: "How to use it?"
Before Long Chen could speak, the woman asked: "Are you really Long Chengen?"
Long Chen did not answer, but asked: "Who are you? Why were you caught and sold?"
The woman looked straight at Long Chen without making any answer.
"I am Long Chengen!"
Long Chen took out his token.
"This is General Zhang Qian, this is Commander Wu Jian, Commander of the Valiant Cavalry, and this is General Dugu Jiali, the strong crossbow general."
Long Chen introduced the person.
At this time, the woman slowly relaxed her vigilance and said, "My name is Wu Xiangyun. I was caught by the pirates and sold as a pig."
Long Chen asked: "Just now at Xu Zhai, they said you were captured from Zhenhai County. What is your relationship with the Wu family in Zhenhai?"
Wu Xiangyun's eyes suddenly turned red and he said, "Wu Tianming is my father, and I am the Wu family in Zhenhai."
Zhang Qian asked in surprise: "I heard that the Wu family in Zhenhai was... wiped out because they resisted the pirates."
Wu Xiangyun bit his lip, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and said bitterly: "My grandfather was a military general. When pirates invaded, my father Wu Tianming led the people in Zhenhai to practice martial arts and killed many pirates."
"Those people in the city who colluded with the pirates hated our Wu family, so they cooperated inside and outside to attack our family..."
At this point, Wu Xiangyun was already crying.
Longcheng probably guessed what happened next. The Wu family was massacred, Wu Xiangyun escaped among the people and was caught. Then he was caught and sold to the Xu family.
Fortunately, his face was injured and he looked embarrassed, so he was not recognized, otherwise he would have died.
"Heal the injury first. You should know how to use it. Only when your body recovers can you take revenge."
Long Chen handed over the fish oil, and Wu Xiangyun took the fish oil, pulled out the stopper and smelled it, then drank most of the bottle and applied the rest on the wound.
Long Chen went out and stayed with Zhang Qian to take care of him.
When they got outside, Wu Jian followed Long Chen: "Sir, this Qianjiang County seems to have been infiltrated by pirates."
He heard Zhang Qian talk about the situation in Qianjiang County.
"The Xu family are pirates. There is no doubt about this. What happened to the governor Chen Zu?"
As the governor of a state, he should not be willing to become a pirate. There must be a reason for this.
"Is there any news from Feng He?"
In this open and covert fight, Jing Tianlie's secret guards are dispatched, Nanliang's Imperial City Division may also get involved, and Long Chen's West Factory will definitely participate.
It's just that the West Factory has just been established. No matter how capable Feng He is, he can only do some side work and find out some information. It may be difficult for him to fight.
In the final analysis this time, it still depends on Long Chen himself.
"He said he entered the city yesterday, but there is no news yet today."
Wu Jian is not around, so Feng He looks for Zhang Qian.
When Wu Jian was around, Feng He gave the news to Wu Jian. Feng He knew that Wu Jian was an absolute confidant.
"Let him go to the city to inquire and find out what is going on and why the governor Chen Zu joined the bandits."
Long Chen only figured out two things. There was a problem with the Xu family and there was a problem with the governor. The details had to wait for Feng He's reply.
Zhang Qian came out of the military tent and said: "She has fallen asleep. She said she still has a sister who led troops and horses out of Zhenhai County. I don't know what is going on now. Please help me find her whereabouts."
Long Chen asked: "Do you have any information about the Wu family in Zhenhai?"
Zhang Qian shook her head helplessly: "It was too urgent to set off this time, and I didn't know anything about the Wu family in advance."
Long Chen looked at Qianjiang County in the distance and said, "Don't worry, just wait for them to come out."
Long Chen is camping here, and the city will definitely know about it, waiting for them to come out to greet him.
Long Chen returned to his tent to meditate and practice.
Qianjiang County, Xu Zhai.
A fat bald man walked through the noisy courtyard, where women were being auctioned. When he arrived at the backyard, it was much quieter despite being separated by a wall.
In the shrine, a tall middle-aged man was worshiping a statue. This man was Xu Zhi, the owner of the Xu family.
"Master, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court has arrived outside the city."
Baldhead said.
After Xu Zhi bowed devoutly, he turned around and came out and asked, "How many soldiers and horses did you bring? Have you arrived at the Governor's Mansion?"
These people are entrenched in Qianjiang County and have their own news channels in the capital. They know that Long Chen is coming, but the specific situation is not clear.
The bald head shook his head and said: "There are only 1,000, and they are stationed outside the city and have not entered the city."
Xu Zhi asked doubtfully: "1,000? Such a small number of troops? Stationed outside the city and did not enter the city? Are you suspicious?"
The bald man didn't understand either: "Master, why don't you let the governor go and find out first?"
Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Well, okay."
Baldhead immediately went out and went to the governor's mansion.
