Chapter 135 The Governor's Mansion

Long Chen sat cross-legged in the military tent, and simultaneously practiced the Yin-Cultivation Technique and the Hundred Birds Chao Feng Jue. The martial energy in his body gathered at the Ming Gate, and then slowly separated out a trace of the purest martial energy and condensed in the Dantian.

This is what Di Luoxi said was the introduction, the Yang Fire necessary to break through to the Martial Emperor realm.

Once the Yang Fire is condensed to a certain extent, it can break through.

However, Long Chen's current identity is still a eunuch, and if he breaks through to the Martial Emperor realm, he will definitely be suspected.

The status of a eunuch is really a double-edged sword. It not only gives Long Chen the benefit of doing whatever he wants in the harem, but also requires Long Chen to maintain the persona of a eunuch at all times.

"Sir, Chen Zu, the governor of Qianjiang County, wants to see you."

Outside the tent, Zhang Qian shouted. Long Chen slowly opened his eyes, calmed down the martial energy in his body, stood up and left the military tent, and saw the governor Chen Zu waiting outside the tent with some officials and soldiers.

"Chen Zu, the governor of Qianjiang County, met the imperial envoy Master Long."

Chen Zu is tall, with a round face and a big nose, a pair of particularly conspicuous ears, and no beard on his mouth.

Behind him was an armored official, apparently Sima of Qianjiang County.

Not far away were about 300 soldiers.

Long Chen has never met Chen Zu, so he doesn't know the truth. Zhang Qian and the others don't know either.

I was too hasty before setting off and did not ask the officials of Qianjiang County carefully for information, but no one thought that the governor would collude with the pirates.

"I've heard that Governor Chen managed things well. Qianjiang County was still safe when pirates were rampant. Your contribution is great, and I will report it to you."

Chen Zu paid homage and said, "How dare you lower your rank? It's all within your scope."

"Please come into the city, sir. I have prepared a banquet for you."

Long Chen glanced at the soldiers and horses behind him and said: "The army is afraid of disturbing the people when they enter the city, so we are temporarily stationed outside the city."

Chen Zu looked troubled and said, "If you don't enter the city, how can your subordinates fulfill their duties as landlords?"

Long Chen smiled and said: "They are stationed here. Of course I want to go to the city to have a look. They say this is a prosperous place. How can I come here in vain?"

Chen Zu was now happy and said: "That's very good. Please mount your horse."

Zhang Qian tugged at Long Chen's clothes from behind, and Long Chen said, "You and Colonel Wu will come with me, General Dugu is stationed here."

Zhang Qian nodded: "Okay."

Wu Jian ordered a dozen cavalrymen. These people were brought by him from Xiaoqi Camp and were not Dugu Jiali's subordinates.

The empress asked Wu Jian to train cavalry outside the city, and Wu Jian also trained some of his own masters.

"Invite Governor Chen."

Long Chen mounted his horse, accompanied by Zhang Qian and Wu Jian, escorted by thirteen knights, and led by the governor Chen Zu, and slowly headed towards Qianjiang County.

Qianjiang County Sima Dou Yufei led his troops behind. His eyes looked at Long Chen and Zhang Qian, and he felt like he had seen them before, but he couldn't remember where.

In the military tent, Wu Xiangyun retracted her head, her expression gloomy, and the scars on her face, feet, and back had begun to scab.

The effect of fish oil is miraculous, it repairs wounds quickly and leaves no scars.

Long Chen walked away, and Dugu Jiali ordered the army to prepare for battle at any time. Seeing that the army was really nervous, Wu Xiangyun curled up and thought for a while, then lay down to rest.

Long Chen was riding on the horse, and Chen Zu led the way and accompanied him, chatting while walking.

"Have Master Long been to Qianjiang River?"

"It's my first time here. I've heard that this place is prosperous and has many good things. I just want to broaden my horizons."

"Master Long, whatever you want to see or want, just tell your subordinate, and he will definitely bring it over."

"Why is this so embarrassing? Hahaha, I heard there are many beauties here."

Long Chen looked like a corrupt official. When Chen Zu heard Long Chen talk about beautiful women, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Qian and said with a smile: "I've heard that Lord Long is a romantic and talented person. The beauties here are as gentle as water. I will definitely find some for Lord Long."

come over."

Long Chen laughed and said: "The governor is so polite, he likes water."

Zhang Qian stood aside and said nothing, but she was complaining in her heart: She looks like a corrupt official, but she is acting in her true colors.

When we arrived outside the west city gate, sergeants and people lined the streets to welcome us. There were also soldiers on the city to welcome us. It looked very festive.

At the gate of the city, the soldiers who asked Long Chen for money yesterday stood respectfully.

After entering the city, walking through the streets, and arriving at the gate of the governor's office, officials from the governor's office lined up to greet him.

The governor Chen Zu dismounted and led all the officials to pay homage.

Long Chen got off his horse, and the governor Chen Zu said loudly: "The imperial envoy from the Holy Land, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and the general manager of the harem, Long Chengen, are here!"

The officials of the governor's office paid their respects one after another: "I'm here to pay my respects to you, sir."

Many pedestrians were watching the fun on the street, including the waiter of the inn. He craned his neck to look around, feeling that the imperial envoy looked familiar.

The officials of the governor's office used water and fire sticks to disperse the passers-by.

"This is the county magistrate Song Tongyang, this is Sima Dou Yufei, this is the chief secretary Tao Zhigang, and this is Cai Xinqiao who joined the army..."

The governor Chen Zu introduced the officials of the governor's office one by one. Long Chen took a quick look and found that these people were different in height, short, fat and thin, but they were all of strong build.

"Your Majesty ordered me to go to Qianjiang County to suppress the bandits. I still need to rely on you."

"I am willing to listen to your orders."

Chen Zu led Long Chen into the Governor's Mansion, with Zhang Qian and Wu Jian following closely behind him, and thirteen knightly guards following behind.

Entering the main hall, Long Chen was sitting at the head, Chen Zu was at the side, and other officials were standing.

"Everyone, the purpose of my visit this time is very clear, which is to pacify the pirates."

"I have been in the capital and don't know much about the situation here. Please give me an explanation, Governor Chen."

The governor Chen Zu came out and bowed respectfully: "Sir, our Qianjiang County has five counties under its jurisdiction. These five counties are all close to the sea and have been harassed by pirates."

"Some time ago, Zhenhai County was even captured by pirates. The county magistrate was killed. The subordinate officials were incompetent and could not annihilate them, so they asked the Holy One to send troops."

Long Chen asked: "How many pirates are there and where are they located? How is Zhenhai County doing now?"

Chen Zu replied: "There are about 100,000 pirates entrenched in Gui Island, and Zhenhai County is still occupied by pirates."

Long Chen asked again: "Who is the leader of the pirates? What is their fighting method?"

Chen Zu replied: "The leader's name is Mendoro. His fighting method...basically takes a boat ashore and mostly uses long swords."

What Chen Zu said was similar to the information Long Chen had read before, and no deception was found.

Ever since the waiter in the shop said that Chen Zu colluded with the pirates, Long Chen has always had a doubt: Since Chen Zu colluded with the pirates, why did he still report to the empress and request the imperial court to send troops to kill the pirates?

Is it because the matter is too big? The matter can no longer be concealed?

Long Chen looked at Chen Zu, then looked at other officials, and asked: "I heard that many of these pirates were bandits from the Great Zhou Dynasty. They used the banner of pirates to plunder. Is this the case?"

thing?"

Chen Zu's expression changed suddenly, and the expressions of the officials in the hall also changed.

"Your Majesty, it is clear to me that these are all rumors and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them."

"Those pirates are all thieves from the sea country to the east. They came to rob us, and no one from the local area participated."

Chen Zu said it very firmly.

Long Chen looked at Chen Zu quietly and asked: "What happened to the Wu family in Zhenhai County?"
