When the army returned to Qianjiang County, the governor was already waiting outside the city to greet them, and the people lined the streets to welcome them.
"Congratulations, sir, on defeating the pirates."
The governor and his staff congratulated him.
Long Chen was not polite and said: "I'd like to ask the Governor to help arrange the military family members. If the family members of the fallen soldiers are willing to come back to Beijing with me, they should leave immediately; for those who want to stay, please help the Governor to make arrangements for them."
"The other soldiers' families immediately followed the army back to Beijing and told them that I would give them land, food, and wages in the capital."
The governor immediately made arrangements, and the soldiers also agreed with their families to rest at night and set off the next day.
The governor wanted to keep Long Chen for two more days, but Long Chen was thinking about the zombies and had no intention of staying here.
Long Chen entered the room, and Feng He slipped in quietly.
"Leave a few people in Qianjiang County and carefully search the villages and towns along the coast to see if there are any living dead."
Long Chen ordered.
Feng He was also in Liangxi Village last night, and he observed zombies in the dark.
"Sir, it seems that you are familiar with that kind of thing?"
Long Chen's handling yesterday was very decisive. All the zombies in the cave were burned and he even brought a zombie for experiment. Feng He felt that Long Chen knew the inside story.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "This is a way to deal with evil spirits. I learned it from a Taoist priest."
"Tell them, this kind of living dead has corpse poison. If they are bitten or scratched, they will transform into corpses. Remember to be careful!"
Feng He looked shocked and said solemnly: "Is it so evil?"
Long Chen didn't explain any more, just said: "Send someone there, and if there is any situation, tell me immediately!"
Feng He went to make arrangements immediately.
Dong dong dong...
"Come in."
Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun opened the door and came in, saying: "Sir."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Sit down."
Long Chen could probably guess what these two people wanted to say.
Wu Xiangyun looked at Wu Chuchu, and Wu Chuchu said: "Thank you for taking care of me these days, especially for saving my sister. You are going back to Beijing now, and we sisters are here to say goodbye to you."
At the beginning, Long Chen only sent Zhang Qian to recruit Wu Chuchu to help eliminate the pirates, and did not mention recruiting them.
Now that Long Chen has returned to Beijing, they feel that it is time for them to return to Zhenhai County.
Long Chen said: "I won't say anything polite. If you are willing to come back to the capital with me, I recommend you to be generals."
The female emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was in charge of the country, and it was normal for women to be in general and in positions of power.
The two of them have made great achievements this time, and with Long Chen's recommendation, there is no problem in becoming generals.
Wu Xiangyun looked at Wu Chuchu with very anxious eyes.
She actually wanted to follow Long Chen, even though Long Chen was a eunuch.
These days, Wu Xiangyun talked with Zhang Qian and Bai Tingting. They all found it strange that Long Chen was obviously just a eunuch, but he was more attractive than a man, so they wanted to follow Long Chen.
Wu Chuchu was secretly happy and said: "Thank you, sir. Our sisters will be able to rely on you from now on."
There is nothing left in Zhenhai County. Being a general with Long Chen is a good future.
Wu Xiangyun happily bowed and said, "Thank you so much, sir. Xiangyun will follow you to the death!"
Long Chen smiled and said: "You are the little wife I bought, you can't run away."
Wu Xiangyun blushed with embarrassment and whispered: "How can it be counted..."
Long Chen touched Wu Xiangyun's head and said: "Go and talk to the brothers below. Those who are willing to come with me will leave tomorrow. Those who want to go back will be given money now."
The two sisters got up and left the room.
Long Chen sat cross-legged, replaying the events of the past few days like a movie in his mind, trying to find clues to the appearance of zombies.
the next day.
The army was arrayed outside the city.
A total of twelve thousand people were willing to go with Long Chen. Some of the remaining soldiers wanted to go home, while some wanted to stay in Qianjiang County as soldiers.
Long Chen would never force him, he would take away those who were willing to leave, immediately give money to those who returned home, and give the remaining ones to the new governor.
The family members of those killed in battle were given 50 taels of silver, and their names were recorded in the governor's office, and there was still money every year.
The family members of the army followed the soldiers back to the west to the capital.
The army slowly moved westward, and the governor and his staff were sent ten miles outside the city before returning.
Long Chen and Zhang Qian were in front, Wu Jian was holding the line and leading the troops, Dugu Jiali and Wu Chuchu were chatting well, they walked side by side, talking and laughing, Wu Xiangyun and Bai Tingting were whispering to each other and talking non-stop.
Fei Linai was too petite and her legs and feet were too weak to ride a horse or walk, so Long Chen got her a carriage.
When the army marched to Shangjiang County, the county magistrate Huang Tao quickly led people out of the city to greet them.
"Shangjiang County Magistrate Huang Tao pays homage to Lord Long."
Huang Tao bowed respectfully.
Long Chen passed by Shangjiang County incognito last time without alerting the county government. This time the army passed by, Huang Tao wanted to curry favor with him.
Long Chen was originally the general manager of the harem and two ministers. Now he has defeated the pirates and achieved military success. His future is bright. If he pleases Long Chen, he will have a promising career in the future.
Before Long Chen could say anything, Bai Tingting caught up from behind, looked at the county lieutenant behind Huang Tao and said, "Cheng Jun, do you still recognize this young hero?"
County Lieutenant Cheng Jun was fat, with a greasy face and a gleaming look in his eyes.
Cheng Jun looked up at Bai Tingting and immediately recognized the person in front of him as the ranger who cut off his son's arm.
Cheng Jun was shocked. He didn't expect Bai Tingting to be Long Chen's person.
That day, after Bai Tingting chopped off the arm of Cheng Jun's son, Cheng Jun led his officers to round him up and almost killed Bai Tingting.
Shocked, Cheng Jun was no rookie, so he knew he couldn't be cowardly at this time.
"What a thief, you actually hid in Master Long's army!"
"Sir, this female thief disguised herself and committed a major crime in Shangjiang County. Please arrest this female thief!"
"Brothers, come on!"
Cheng Jun took a chance now and asked a bad guy to complain first.
Bai Tingting sneered: "Cheng Jun, your son molested the imperial general in the inn. I acted bravely, but you actually bit me back!"
Cheng Jun said angrily: "My son has never teased a general of the imperial court. Who are you? How dare you pretend to be a general of the imperial court!"
County magistrate Huang Tao did not expect such a change, and hurriedly stopped Cheng Jun: "Lieutenant Cheng, you must not be impudent in front of Lord Long!"
Long Chen chuckled and said: "County Lieutenant, this matter can be easily handled. Just ask your son to come out and confront you."
Cheng Jun was furious, and he simply did his job to the end, saying: "As ordered! Please enter the city!"
Long Chen felt funny in his heart. It was already getting late and the army was stationed outside the city, so Long Chen took the general into the city to rest.
When they arrived at the county government office, Long Chen sat at the head, Zhang Qian and Wu Jian were guarding the left and right, Bai Tingting and others stood beside him, Huang Tao stood in the middle with sweating profusely, and Cheng Jun went to bring his son Cheng Yuan to the hall.
At this time, Cheng Yuan was a disabled person, his face was pale and he looked very weak. He was brought in lying on a stretcher.
"Sir, my son Cheng Yuan had one of his arms chopped off by this female thief. Please make your decision!"
Cheng Jun looked so sad and angry that he wished he could eat Bai Tingting alive.
The servant helped Cheng Yuan sit up. Cheng Yuan looked at Bai Tingting and said weakly: "Yes, that's her!"
Bai Tingting sneered and said, "Do you recognize me?"
Cheng Yuan's lips trembled and he said, "I can recognize it when it's burned to ashes!"
Bai Tingting pointed at Zhang Qian and asked, "Then do you recognize this little lady? Her breasts are the most beautiful in the world!"
