Qi Shenghe's family stood at the fence, looking at this scene in horror, and couldn't help but take a breath.
They knew that Zuo Chongming had made a great contribution this time, so his prestige in Jinyun Prefecture must be extremely high.
But when they actually saw this scene, they were still shocked. It was so scary.
At the city gate, on the city wall, and even in the city...everywhere you look, there are people, no less than tens of thousands in number, all with expressions of reverence and excitement.
Scenes like this even reminded them of the scene when Emperor Wu went on a tour and all the people worshiped him.
"Hmm~!"
Nan Yuyan resisted the shock in her heart and looked at Zuo Chongming with a vague look in her eyes, and her eyebrows were filled with a strong look of pride.
She is indeed proud because this man is her husband.
Nan Yuyan and others suddenly woke up, quickly collected their thoughts, and followed him towards the city gate.
"coming……"
"Ouch! Zuozuo is coming towards me."
"So excited, wow, so handsome..."
"Hey, you're so handsome!"
A burst of suppressed cries and howls suddenly broke out from the crowd, causing commotion and chaos.
There were even fans and players who raised their cards crazily and shouted, trying to attract Zuo Chongming's attention.
In the crowd, Lei Gong, who had changed his appearance, helplessly held up a special fan sign and complained through the voice: "Saint, do you have to hold up the sign?"
After so many years of living, this was the first time he had done such an embarrassing thing, and his mentality was really broken.
"Are you tired?"
Ouyang Yu, who had also disguised himself, glared at him when he heard this, then raised his hands excitedly and screamed: "Ahhh... Zuozuo is so handsome, awsl!!"
"..."
Lei Gong looked at her crazy look, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and he silently swallowed the rants in his mouth.
Since a large number of strange people appeared in Jinyun Prefecture not long ago, Ouyang Yu has been affected a lot and learned a lot of strange words.
In the words of those weird guys...well, Ouyang Yu is now a senior and fanatical Zuo Chongming fan.
As far as he knew, Ouyang Yu was also the backbone of strange groups such as the 'Zuozuo Alliance', 'Zuozuo Crystal Palace' and 'Zuozuo Taima Group'.
It's just so outrageous.
Lei Gong couldn't understand it, but he was shocked.
"Move the things down."
Zuo Chongming glanced at Li Jun and others, glanced vaguely at the crowd of players from the corner of his eye, and then gave orders to Qi Shenghe.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Although Qi Shenghe didn't quite understand, he knew the word "obedience" very well, so he quickly took people back to the flying boat to move things.
"Everyone..."
Zuo Chongming stood with his hands behind his hands and said loudly: "Previously, the Liansheng Sect united with demons and remnants of the previous dynasty to invade Jinyun Prefecture and harm the people."
"My ability to defend Ping'an County without falling is entirely due to the cooperation and help of all of you."
"Before entering the capital, I said that I will report the matter truthfully and ask for your merits and rewards..."
"It is better to choose a day than to hit it. Today is the day in front of the people of the world, so I will fulfill my promise."
Even though Zuo Chongming used various methods and stole a lot of supplies, he still couldn't withstand the crazy players.
In the later stage, the warehouse had been emptied out long ago. Even if there were demon essences and the quota of the Town Fu Division could be exchanged, there was still a lot of debt.
Fortunately, Zuo Chongming had enough prestige that no one jumped out to look for trouble.
When he was about to leave Beijing, he made a special trip to the Zhenfu Division to find someone to check the account books and replenish all the supplies.
Originally, he thought about leaving it to Li Jun to handle when he returned, but when he saw so many players, he instantly changed his mind and decided to give rewards on the spot based on merit.
…
As soon as Zuo Chongming finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.
Li Jun, Qian Qian and others trembled, subconsciously straightening their bodies, their eyes burning with fire.
The prisoners before could not help but burst into tears, looking at him with excitement and disbelief, as if they did not believe that he would really fulfill his promise.
The faces of Lu Weiguang and other officials changed slightly, their hearts pounded, and they were filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
They knew that Xiyun Mansion was already the fiefdom of Zuo Chongming. In other words, he could appoint and remove all civil and military officials at his own word.
Given Zuo Chongming's relationship with the civil and military forces of the DPRK and China, they didn't know how the other party would deal with it. Is he really going to be rewarded based on his merits? Or would he be dismissed based on criticism?
Apart from them, the most excited people are the closed beta players.
Not only did they experience a large-scale plot, but they also reaped a lot of benefits. The best ones even became glorious lackeys of the court...
But now that the game has been released to the public beta, Zuo Chongming discusses merits and rewards in public, clearly giving them an opportunity to show off their stamina by pretending to be a rival.
Among all the people, only Chen Tianlong and the others were unhappy.
Because after Zuo Chongming went to Zhenfu Division to collect supplies, he paid up what he owed them on the way back.
They were very happy at the time, but now it seems... they have lost a chance to show off.
Loss! Loss of blood! What a loss!
"Lord Wang."
Zuo Chongming looked at Wang Xing in the crowd and said solemnly: "During the war, your Excellency worked tirelessly to take charge of the warehouse logistics, and your hard work has made great achievements..."
Wang Xing bowed in fear and saluted: "Your Excellency, this is what I should do."
"Don't be humble."
Zuo Chongming smiled and announced loudly: "I am specially granted the title of King Star, the head of the Treasury of the Xiyun Prefecture, and will also be given Yuan Stone...gold and silver..."
"Thank you, sir."
Wang Xing clenched his fists, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, took the things and left respectfully.
"Magistrate Lu."
Zuo Chongming looked at the dozen or so officials in Wuyangyang and suddenly smiled: "During the war, you control people's livelihood and appease people's hearts..."
"Many, thank you Champion Hou."
Lu Weiguang couldn't help himself. He suppressed the water stains in his eyes and bowed: "Thank you for your trust in me. I will never let you down."
Before that, the best outcome in his mind was to stay put.
After all, Zuo Chongming did not agree with his ideas, and he had a domineering personality. Xiyun Mansion had become his fiefdom, and the other party was likely to kick him away.
But what shocked him was that instead of transferring or demoting him, Zuo Chongming directly promoted him to the position of prefect.
There seems to be little difference between the county magistrate and the prefect, but according to the civil service hierarchy, they are at least three levels behind...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is no exaggeration to say that he has risen rapidly.
This result shocked him, but at the same time he felt unspeakably guilty.
Because Lu Weiguang felt that he had underestimated Zuo Chongming's mind and structure, and instead he seemed petty and narrow-minded...
Phew~!
Lu Weiguang took a deep breath and clenched his fists hard.
Since Zuo Chongming trusts himself so much, he must not let him down.
After the officials were awarded rewards, Zuo Chongming organized the people in the Zhenfu Division again. Those who should be promoted should be promoted, and those who should be appointed should be appointed...
Finally, he turned his attention to the player.
Sensing Zuo Chongming's gaze, the players quickly raised their chests and abdomen, raised their heads high, and listened with their ears.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Zuo Chongming said leisurely: "After careful consideration, I have decided to contribute 400 to the patrol envoy and 800 to the demon-slaying envoy."
At the same time, players received system prompts.
In addition to contributions, there is also a special title - defender.
Everyone's eyes widened and their breathing suddenly became heavy.
Before the war ended, they didn't think it was difficult to save contributions, but now they realize how precious it is.
This is because the sources of contributions from the Zhenfu Division are mainly tasks related to demons and evil spirits.
In order to avoid risks, everyone often forms a small team to complete the task. Generally, the contribution of a few people is only a hundred or so, and a small number of people is pitiful.
Coupled with the time cost of investigation and running, as well as the cost of combat consumption, the benefits are even less.
These hundreds of contributions are definitely a generous reward for them.
What's more, players also get title rewards, and the titles are special and can only be obtained by participating in the previous war plots.
This is a symbol of honor, a symbol of big boss...
Because "Homeward Bound" is not like other games, the equipment does not shine, and there is no recognition between players.
Therefore, the title has become the best proof of "big boss". The best way to distinguish between a newbie and a big boss is to look at the particularity of the title.
"Master Zuo is awesome!!"
I don't know who screamed, which shocked everyone.
As if a chain reaction had started, countless players echoed in agreement, roaring with red faces: "Master Zuo is awesome!!"
The prisoners were a little confused and didn't know what the words meant, but they probably weren't curse words... so they started shouting too.
One person shouts, a hundred people follow, and a thousand people form a tide...
The deafening cheers instantly broke the silence and did not disperse for a long time.
"Grass!!"
"Isn't this too happy?"
"What a special title!"
"No matter what, I want to join the Zhenfu Division."
"I still want to add it, but the inspectors all require four or five levels of body tempering. We can't compare with those closed beta players."
"Oh, that's right. It's too difficult to improve your cultivation level."
Countless players' eyes were red, staring with envy and jealousy at the shining, shining title above the Zhenfu Division player's head.
Damn, these Dogecoin closed beta players are so damn hateful, they take advantage of everything.
What they didn't know was that their jealous eyes and angry expressions were caught in Zuo Chongming's eyes.
Players......
Zuo Zhongming sighed quietly.
Players are also human beings. In reality, they are bound by rules and tortured by pressure. Only in games can they vent without any burden.
He was the head of a studio in his previous life, so he knew these things very well.
Gathering his thoughts, he waited for the cheers to gradually subside until the venue fell silent again.
"As we all know..."
Zuo Chongming said in a deep voice: "The Liansheng Sect conspired to rebel and bring trouble to Jinyun Prefecture. Not only did they unite with demons, they even led wolves into the house and dragged the barbarians in."
"To this day, the barbarians have even invaded Congyun Mansion, and countless people have been tortured, displaced, and their lives are worse than death..."
"I can't swallow this breath. However, Xiyun Mansion is full of waste and is waiting for improvement. Even if I have the intention, I can't do it."
"After racking my brains, I can only offer a heavy reward in the hope that people with lofty ideals will stand up, drive out the barbarians, and return our lands..."
"From today on, a barbarian's head can be given to the Zhenfu Division in Xiyun Mansion in exchange for one tael of silver."
