Several horses came over from the south, headed by a middle-aged man wearing a county magistrate's official uniform, who bowed to Long Chen and said, "I'm down to Guan'an County Magistrate Dongfang Zhuzhu to pay my respects to Lord Long."
This man is the magistrate of An County. They knew there was a war here last night, but they didn't know who won and who lost, so they didn't dare to come out to help.
I sent someone over this morning to find out and confirm that the officers and soldiers had won, so I dared to bring a group of men over to pay homage.
"Eastern Pillars?"
Long Chen felt that this name was too funny.
The county magistrate was stunned for a moment and replied: "It's the lower official. Is there anything wrong?"
Long Chen asked the people behind him: "What are your names?"
Several officials behind him replied:
"Little Anxian County Prime Minister Ximen Shunzi."
"Little Anxian County Lieutenant Murong Heiniu."
"The little chief secretary of An County, Linghu Mazi."
Long Chen felt like shit, this is such a funny party.
The compound surnames Dongfang, Ximen, Murong, and Linghu are originally very powerful. What about Dongfang Bubai, Ximen Chuixue, this damn Dongfang Pillar, and what does Ximen Shunzi mean?
It turns out that the quality of a name has nothing to do with the surname.
"Okay, the pirates have been defeated. I will attack the ghost island and completely wipe it out. You can go back to appease the people and let them return home."
The fighting was so fierce last night that this guy actually hid and didn't dare to go out. Long Chen didn't bother to talk to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate quickly said: "My lord, I have prepared some food and salary, and I will send it to you now."
Long Chen said: "That's pretty much it, I'll send it over now."
The county magistrate quickly ordered the county captain to escort the food and wages back to the city with the army.
Back in Qianjiang County, Long Chen hung up the heads of Xiang Tian and Bai Guiwan. The people in the city heard that the pirates had been defeated and the leader of the bandits was killed, Xiang Tian, and they took to the streets to celebrate.
Long Chen ordered the army to rest and recuperate quickly, and attack Ghost Island three days later to completely wipe out the pirates.
After entering the Houya, Wu Chuchu followed from outside and said, "Sir, the pirates have fled into the sea. I want to lead troops to regain Zhenhai County."
The bodies of Wu Chuchu's parents and brothers are still in Zhenhai, so it's understandable that she wants to go back.
"Go ahead and come back in three days."
"Bring Xiangtian and Baiguimaru's heads back to pay homage to your father."
Wu Chuchu shed tears and said, "Thank you, sir!"
Wu Chuchu left the Houya and immediately went to Zhenhai with Wu Xiangyun and Zhenhai's soldiers and people.
Bai Tingting watched Wu Chuchu and the two sisters leave, wondering: "Why did you leave just after you came back?"
Zhang Qian said: "They want to take back Zhenhai County as soon as possible and collect the bodies of their parents."
Bai Tingting has no feelings for her parents and cannot understand the feelings of the Wu sisters.
"Miss Bai followed the killing spree last night. How did it feel? Did you fall in love with Master Long?"
Zhang Qian joked.
Bai Tingting immediately blushed and scolded with a smile: "You are really like Long Chengen, a eunuch. There is nothing to love or not to love. I just love him, so what can I do?"
Wu Jian happened to pass by and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "If Miss Bai has this intention, she will follow you from now on."
Bai Tingting thought Wu Jian was making fun of her, and said angrily: "How can I follow you? Be a widow?"
Zhang Qian looked at Wu Jian, smiled at Bai Tingting and said, "Do you know who purified Master Long?"
Bai Tingting looked at Wu Jian and asked, "Did you cut Long Chengen?"
Wu Jian was speechless, turned around and ran away.
Bai Tingting cursed behind her: "Wu Jian, I will kill you sooner or later!"
Houya.
Long Chen closed the door and Feng He slipped in through the window.
"Mentaro returned to Onigashima?"
"Yes, they fled eastward into the sea and took a boat back to Ghost Island."
Feng He followed him all the way, and did not come back until he saw Menduo Lang boarding the boat and entering the sea.
"Do you know the situation on Ghost Island?"
"I arrested more than a dozen pirates and interrogated them one by one. I basically found out everything."
Feng He took out a piece of paper with a coastline and an island drawn on it.
"The ghost island is more than 100 miles away from the coast and is the size of two Qianjiang counties. Defense fortifications have been built on it. The biggest problem is that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"The pirates told me that the ghost island is twenty meters away from the sea. It is surrounded by cliffs. The stones on the cliffs are extremely sharp. There is only one way to get to the island."
Long Chen can imagine the shape of this island. It can be said that one man can block it and ten thousand people can't open it. It's useless if there are many people.
"It would be great if there was a building boat. Just get on it."
Long Chen recalled that when Di Luoxi attacked Linjiang City, the building boat leaned against the city wall in the wind and snow. After the ladder fell, the soldiers boarded the city directly.
"I'm afraid the building boat is useless. There are reefs all around the ghost island, and a boat with too deep draft cannot pass it."
Feng He smiled helplessly.
Long Chen said: "So, Ghost Island cannot be captured?"
Feng He said: "The ghost island is too difficult to attack, so it has been rampant along the coast for more than 20 years and no one can control it."
"Of course, you are not an ordinary person, there must be a way."
Feng He's words were meant as a joke, but they were also true.
Long Chen had accomplished so many impossible things in the past. Feng He wanted to see how Long Chen could succeed unexpectedly this time.
"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw, and I'm at my wits' end this time."
Long Chen did the math and found that there were more than 10,000 pirates left. Some of them must have escaped along the way. The number of pirates who returned to Ghost Island was estimated to be less than 10,000.
But the pirates have a favorable location. If Long Chen sends troops to attack, the result will definitely be failure.
"It's okay for now. You can check the people in the city again and eliminate the pirates' internal agents."
During the battle yesterday, Ximen was almost captured by internal agents. Long Chen must kill all these people.
Feng He jumped out of the window again, and Long Chen made a mockery of it.
Dong dong dong...
"Come in."
Bai Tingting came in from outside, put some money on the table, and said, "The waiter at the market gave it to me. He said that your furs have been sold, so this is money."
In the past two days, the waiter confirmed Long Chen's identity, quickly sold the furs, and then sent the money.
Long Chen collected the money and hid it in a bag.
"Hey, the dignified Lord Shangshu cares about money so much?"
Bai Tingting sat next to Long Chen, crossing her legs.
She changed into men's clothes and wore a pretty Tsing Yi, as well as a step rocker and earrings.
She had never worn these women's jewelry before.
Obviously, this is the appearance of a woman who wants to please herself.
"Of course I have to keep my money well."
Long Chen sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a slow sip.
"Why do you want to be a eunuch?"
Bai Tingting looked at Long Chen with a somewhat sad tone.
Long Chen almost choked, put down the cup and said, "Didn't you hear? I was tied into the palace, do you think I did it voluntarily?"
Bai Tingting asked: "Who did it? I will kill his whole family!"
Long Chen looked at Bai Tingting strangely and said, "Do you like me?"
Bai Tingting's face turned red instantly, she stood up and left, cursing: "Whoever likes you will be a eunuch!"
Long Chen smiled at Bai Tingting's back and said, "What if I'm not a eunuch?"
Bai Tingting didn't look back and strode out of the room.
Bai Tingting heard this and cursed in a low voice as she walked: "If you are not a eunuch, I will cut you again!"
Zhang Qian walked in and happened to meet Bai Tingting and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Tingting didn't say anything and went straight out of the Governor's Mansion.
Zhang Qian quickly entered the room.
