The Liyang Mansion stipulates that when a consular envoy goes to a certain place for inspection, the local magistrate is solely responsible for the reception. This regulation greatly reduces the opportunities for local forces to intervene in consular affairs, but depending on the situation, it sometimes brings many problems.
Inconvenient, just like the current situation in Kinoji.
Ji Zheng Wen Hui has no prestige in Mu Ye Ji. His official residence is just a dilapidated wooden house built on the edge of a mountain cliff. It is too cramped for him to live in. If he uses it to entertain envoys from the government, it can be said to be the lowest level.
Crazy provocation. Wen Hui is sweating profusely
He once requested to discuss with the settlers to see if a large house could be used for the temporary residence of the messengers. However, Zhang Ji stubbornly insisted on abiding by the rules of the government and stayed at the Jizheng official residence, while five soldiers from the government stayed in Kai.
The spacious back compartment of the car is suitable for resting.
Although Jizheng Wenhui almost cried because of this, he had no choice but to follow Shangguan's decision.
What is special is Gu Chen. He is not under the jurisdiction of Zhang Ji in the Juvenile Supervision Department, and he is not the official in charge this time and does not need to be subject to the reception restrictions of local officials. Therefore, he was invited to stay at the assembly hall where Guo Bei's group temporarily stayed.
This is a facility for gatherings to hold banquets and discussions. It is far more comfortable and spacious than the small wooden house in the village. There are also many bacon and fruit wines stored in its warehouse.
Since Kinoji did not pay money to the Kuobei group who helped protect the settlement, the bacon and fruit wine was regarded as a substitute reward, providing the pioneers with a period of happiness every night. Among the pioneers who enjoyed drinking this year
A new person was added, whether it was the warrior Guo Bei, the flame commander Hongyu or the spear commander Shazu, they all had good intentions and appreciation for them, so the atmosphere became more lively than usual.
"call……"
Compared with the white wine on the Earth side, the fruit wine brewed by the settlers has a low alcohol content, and the taste is sweet and astringent. To be honest, it is not that good of a wine. However, in most cases, the key to determining whether the wine is good or not is not the wine itself, but the wine itself.
It’s about the people you drink with.
Gu Chen exhaled, put down the wine bowl, and looked up at the soldier on the other side of the bonfire.
"Thank you so much to Brother Guo Bei this time. I didn't expect the collapse of the wooden wall to be so large. I almost didn't escape."
"It's easy to talk. Mr. Gu is a person who does big things. Just leave the rough work to us in the future."
Guo Bei laughed out loud while holding the wine bowl. This pioneer team leader, who usually gave off a calm feeling, would become quite bold when drinking, which made Gu Chen find it quite interesting.
As for Gu Chen's thanks, it was for his help when the wooden wall collapsed during the day. At that time, the toppling sentry tower dragged most of the wooden wall down with an alarming momentum, and Gu Chen was also involved. While everyone was stunned, only the pioneers
Immediate reaction. Zazu used his wind gun to blow away the fallen sentry tower, while Guo Bei blocked the falling wood blocks with his shield, thus saving Gu Chen from being injured.
Although Yan Biao can be used to get out, using Yan Biao when Red Fish is present will definitely cause trouble, so Gu Chen still expressed his gratitude to Guo Beizhu. Apart from anything else, just being able to get in at that critical moment
To protect his employer, he can be regarded as a most reliable existence.
"Thanks to Master Gu, I also saw a rare sight! My second uncle looked livid and speechless. I remember seeing it once when I was a kid. Wow, hahaha! So happy!" Guo Bei laughed and said again
Drained a bowl of fruit wine.
The "second uncle" mentioned by the soldier was none other than Fang Liang, the old craftsman who stood up to challenge the leader. However, the relationship between the two did not seem to be warm. At least from Guo Bei's attitude, Gu Chen could not tell that he cared.
place.
"Huh, I'm willing to admit defeat. That guy just walked away after losing the bet. What does that mean?"
Yan made the red fish interrupt slightly angrily.
The bet that Gu Chen made with the old craftsman was that if he lost, he would never interfere in the affairs of the Kinye Collection. If he won, the old craftsman would go to the gathering place to report Sa Li. Then Gu Chen made the wooden wall and half of the mountain gate collapse with a few axes.
, it was obvious to win or lose. But the old craftsman froze on the spot with a livid face, and then turned around and left without saying a word, showing no intention to cooperate.
"Old stubborn!" Red Fish snorted and waved his fist.
"It doesn't matter." Gu Chen smiled and waved his hand. "At least others can see clearly that the cottage they built is not as indestructible as they imagined. People should start signing up to leave tomorrow, right? I have to ask Hongyu to stay for another two days. I'm afraid that in the meantime
Just in case there is a monster coming."
Half of the mountain gate collapsed along with the wooden wall. It can be said that the core defense of Kinoji has collapsed. However, the several layers of defenses built by craftsmen from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside can still continue to function. As long as there is no disaster like the previous one.
The desolate group can be suppressed by just relying on fortifications along the way. In addition, there is Guo Bei Group on duty, so it can be said that there will not be a big problem in the short term.
"Compared to those who have and don't have! Let's talk about Chaoxu Palace!"
The spearman Zazu held up half a piece of bacon and shouted. The little human has a good temper, but he doesn't drink much. Several bowls of fruit wine have made him a little drunk, but the topic of leaving the palace in Chaos Xu did arouse the attention of two companions.
of attention.
"Hunhou's palace turned into ruins, the collective strategy of the pioneers... Damn it! Such a fun thing happened while we were immersed in mining! Those ruthless and unjust bastards didn't even notify me!?"
"Chaos Ruins is a natural treasure house of materials. Those bastards must be making a lot of money, right?"
"That's right, Gu Chen's carriage shop. To be honest, I want to see it too."
"Well, it's actually not that fun. After all, in order to suppress the Chaos Ruins before the summer riots, everyone from the pioneers to the territorial government tried their best." Gu Chen explained with a cold sweat,
At the same time, I slightly regretted the topic of Chaos Ruins mentioned in the previous chat.
In order to suppress the Hun Hou Li Palace who had turned into chaos as soon as possible, Liyang Mansion did not hesitate to sacrifice family heirlooms to mobilize the pioneers in the territory. However, at that time, Guo Bei's group was entrusted by him to collect red stones from the underground ant nests in the stone pine forest, and then for
He transferred the vehicle and stayed temporarily in Kinoji, resulting in him completely missing the craze of conquering Chaos Ruins.
The pioneers were originally keen on traveling in wastelands to hunt for treasures. For them, conquering the Chaos Ruins was like a once-in-a-lifetime lively festival. It was no wonder that the three of them complained and sighed sadly about this.
On the other hand, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Among the many pioneers he got to know, Guo Bei's group was undoubtedly the group he was most compatible with. From conquering the mud lord to exploring ant nests, Gu Chen and Guo Bei's group worked well together. When Guo Guo first conquered the Li Palace,
If the backup team is also present, we might be able to do more with Gewufang than supply elixirs.
The soldier Guo Bei is a vanguard with a big picture and strong strength. There is nothing wrong with being a helper if the villain spearman can speak well. As for the flame messenger Red Fish, he is a high-ranking military commander who is strong enough to rival Feiyan, both in terms of personality and strength.
He is a person who can be trusted with peace of mind. For Gewufang, which only has seven people including housekeeping and logistics, it is really an outstanding person that he wants to recruit with his hand out of his throat.
