He hurried to find Shangguan Qiji. Shangguan Qiji was not only a miracle doctor, but also a very powerful veterinarian. After a diagnosis, he said that the beast was a little acclimatized, and he was tired from traveling thousands of miles all the way, so he couldn't afford to get sick.
It was said that death was certain, but fortunately there was Fat Brother, so everything was out of the question.
After serving him a few decoctions, the little parrot's spirit is getting better day by day, and its appetite is getting bigger and bigger day by day. It just becomes more and more ugly. I don't know if it is due to a serious illness. Now it is starting to lose feathers. Although every day I didn't lose much, but if things go on like this, I'm afraid I'll turn into a bald bird sooner or later.
Ling'er was worried and asked Shangguan Qiji. He said that I only care about treating diseases and not caring about hair loss. Besides, it is just like a bird. What difference does it make whether it has hair or not?
That makes sense.
Has Ling'er learned the Emei Flying Sword?
No one knows except herself.
Although Xiao Chen was also very curious, he didn't ask Ling'er because he felt that Ling'er might know it, and the little girl was just pretending not to know it.
As for why? I'm afraid it's just to avoid hurting the face of Master Ciyun. After all, the master has learned nothing but she has learned it. This may be a serious blow to Ciyun who has always been competitive.
Of course, Teacher Tai's mind may not be so narrow-minded, and Ling'er is also her direct disciple, but it is still... not that good.
If this is the case, it means that Ling'er is sensible, which is a good thing, so as long as Ling'er doesn't tell, he won't ask.
In fact, Xiao Chen doesn't care whether Ling'er knows how to fly a sword, as long as her little girl is happy and is no better than anything else?
Maybe Shangguan Qiji also figured this out, so he didn't forcefully settle the score with Ling'er, but just threatened to sever friendly relations with her.
The two brothers are strangers from now on!
The next few days will be about mobilizing troops and preparing for war.
In fact, Zhuge Xiaosheng and the others had already made arrangements for this, but they had to ask Xiao Chen for advice on some matters.
For example, Qin Gang asked Xiao Chen to send him several staff officers, and Xiao Chen generously gave him Ye Baiqing, Lin Yue, and Feng Tianlong.
Because they are fighting against the Russians, and Ye Baiqing is familiar with the Russian language and is familiar with the situation in Shunfeng City. Feng Tianlong has been in Changshan for a long time and knows the Russians quite well. Lin Yue has been studying the battle against the Russians these days. He has a certain understanding of the surrounding terrain, the opponent's military facilities, and combat habits.
There is no doubt about the abilities of these three people, and they are also very important people here in Xiao Chen, so he really wants to help Qin Gang.
But Qin Gang just didn't appreciate it. He felt that Xiao Chen sent a useless scholar, a former small local garrison, and a surrendered general from Changshan Prefecture to deliberately deal with him...
Therefore, Xiao Chen's good intentions were once again treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by Qin Gang.
He didn't treat the three people so politely. He only regarded them as ordinary staff members in the big account, and there were dozens of staff members in his account...
When discussing the military situation, Qin Gang and several higher-status lieutenants were sitting there, while Ye Baiqing and the other staff officers didn't even have seats. They could only stand aside, waiting for people to call and ask questions at any time.
Lin Yue had a deep personality and could not express his emotions or anger; Feng Tianlong was in a lowly position, so it didn't matter. Only Ye Baiqing was very angry.
Damn Qin Gang, he is so rude!
Young Master, I sit in the same position in front of Mr. Chen in the Governor's Mansion. At Governor Xiao Chen's place, Young Master, as long as I am happy, I can lie on his bed with my legs crossed.
Damn it, you, Qin Gang, are such a powerful general as a general, and I have to stand by to serve you!
Do you think you are the prince? Even in the prince's palace, I, Ye Baiqing, still have a seat!
The boss, Xiao Chen, asked me to help you out of kindness. Before he came, he kept asking me to do my best. Young master, I want to do my best and tell you everything I know...but you have to let me sit down. Let’s talk, shall we?
But the problem is that since he arrived, Qin Gang asked him if Mrs. Peter was pretty. Other than that, I didn’t ask anything else...
Do you think Ye Baiqing is depressed?
After Lin Yue went to Qin Gang's army, Zhuge Xiaosheng took over the defense of the entire Changshan Prefecture, including two thousand city defense teams, one thousand soldiers guarding the racecourse, scattered security teams, and some "civilians" who came back to take turns. When they are all gathered together, there are probably more than 6,000 people.
These are actually the elite men under Zhuge Xiaosheng's command, the masters of Huben!
Also a real reserve team.
Once Qin Gang's 20,000 troops failed to attack Shunfeng City, Zhuge Xiaosheng would immediately lead these 6,000 men to save the defeat.
In addition, there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers stationed nearby and can be deployed at any time...
Of course, if Qin Gang's attack on Shunfeng Port goes smoothly, these six thousand soldiers will be quickly disbanded and returned to their original posts.
Now when Qin Gang asks, it's easy to respond. We are in the rear area, so we have to guard against the enemy's detours and sneak attacks, right?
Although the war is imminent, Changshan City is still crowded with people, all businesses are flourishing, and it is very lively.
Because Liu Congshu and the others did not take any martial law measures, the officials were still busy going to work every day. When ordinary people passed by the Changshan Prefecture Yamen every morning, they could still see the two-person sedan driven by Mr. Chen Jisheng arriving in a flash.
After stopping at the door, the old man went to a chaotic stall nearby to drink a bowl of hot wontons and eat a multigrain pancake as usual.
He chatted with the diners about their daily life, then wiped his lips, dropped a few coins, and then waddled into the Yamen with his hands behind his back and square steps.
Xiao Chen currently does not have an independent yamen, so he chose a branch office within Liu Congshu's state yamen as the governor's yamen.
Chen Jisheng said it was just a yamen, as long as it could do business, why would it be so big and grand?
This is good, and it saves the officials who come to do things from running around. Whatever they have to do can be done in one courtyard.
He had no objection to Xiao Chen, let alone Xiao Chen. The two men had always been so good at dealing with each other. They could handle him, not to mention the various officials in the county government.
But it is said that Chen Jisheng has been like this since he took office. At the beginning, the people still felt it was new. Many people gathered here every morning to wait to see this legendary figure.
Later I found out that he was just an ordinary old man, who spoke kindly and always smiled.
When you see someone doing business, ask them how the business is going.
When I see farmers farming, I ask them how the land is doing.
When I see a businessman from outside, I ask if the road is easy. What goods are in short supply right now to make money?
Without anyone saying anything, he just touched his beard and laughed. This kid is very clever!
Everyone should be careful when doing business with him!
It’s common to see big guys coming and going. In the final analysis, it’s just two arms raising one head, and it’s really not much to look at.
As for what Mr. Chen is like? One sentence is enough to sum it up: good man, good official, good old man.
Some people are also confused about what kind of official Chen Jisheng is? Isn’t our governor Mr. Xiao Chen?
Why do I hear that his old man is in charge here?
