Does the Ghost King want to sleep?
Do the gods want to sleep?
Chen Yun had no way of getting into the details. Anyway, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ah Wu staring at him with a smile on his face, and his eyebrows were full of charm.
So Chen Yun, who had gotten up before dawn to practice swordsmanship, had to fight with her again before getting up at dawn!
A fight would not delay Ah Wu from boiling water and serving tea.
The old man Zuo sat firmly on the table. After taking the tea offered by Ah Wu with both hands, he reminded Chen Yun: "Don't delay your morning sword practice in the future!"
Most importantly, the old man is worried that this is a god born from a ghost king. If he demands too much from a mortal like Chen Yun, will it have any impact on his body?
Even though Chen Yun is now extremely skilled in martial arts and extremely strong, since ancient times there have only been exhausted oxen, so there is no plowed land!
What's more, this land is no ordinary land!
Chen Yun took the tea and nodded in agreement. He understood the old man's concern!
He understood that the old man wanted to have a great-grandson to hug, and he was worried that Ah Wu was born as a ghost king, and this was the land of gods, so having a child would not help no matter how hard he worked, so he made some suggestions.
As the mistress of the house, Miss Jiu, Ah Wu also needed to serve tea. After taking the tea, she took a sip and said, "It's bitterly cold in the mountains. If you have nothing to do and are bored, just go home!"
But don’t miss the responsibilities your husband has given you! "
Ah Wu nodded and whispered: "Yes, Ah Wu knows!"
Wen and Concubine were both concubines, so they didn't need to serve tea, and they even made breakfast together!
While waiting for breakfast, Dunzi had already started practicing swordsmanship. His current figure was like that of a half-teen-year-old child, who had practiced swordsmanship for many days.
However, he was still young, had never fought in a fight, and did not fully understand the sword techniques, so Chen Yun made a few pointers.
When smoke rose from Zuo's kitchen, people immediately learned about it and quickly reported it to the county magistrate.
Chen Yun had no idea what the smoke from the Zuo family meant to the people!
When someone knocked on the courtyard door, Chen Yun went to open the door and found that the county magistrate Tian Wenliang was standing outside the courtyard door with his master and the elders of the yamen.
"County Honor..."
Before he finished speaking, the county magistrate Tian Wenliang hurried forward and bowed his hands to pay homage: "Xiaguan Tian Wenliang has seen Zuo Baihu!"
"Meet Zuo Baihu!"
Everyone behind him raised their hands and paid homage together.
This made Chen Yun stunned, let alone him, even Old Man Zuo was stunned!
A Baihu official is a sixth-grade official, but since ancient times, civil and military officials have different affiliations, and civil servants have always been favored. Even a seventh-grade county magistrate is on equal footing with a sixth-grade Baihu official.
Nowadays, a county magistrate actually pays homage to an official from a hundred households. What is the purpose?
wrong!
What Baihuguan?
Old Man Zuo and Chen Yun both guessed from the flash of lightning that a lot of things must have happened while they left Guobei County.
There were many things that Ah Wu had told them one by one last night, but there were many things that Ah Wu himself might not know, so naturally there was no way to talk about them.
Especially now, County Magistrate Tian Wenliang's posture!
However, this did not prevent Chen Yun from reacting immediately. He quickly stepped forward to help the county magistrate Tian Wenliang, who was bowing, and asked, "Why is the county magistrate like this?"
County Magistrate Tian Wenliang took out a letter of appointment and an official seal from his sleeve, which were just delivered yesterday.
Unexpectedly, this thing would come back as soon as it arrived at the Zuo family. What a coincidence!
The reason why Tian Wenliang kept such a low profile was because he was completely frightened!
The horse thieves attacked the city, the demon disaster, and last night the scholar came to complain about the Lanruo Temple murder case, and the former sixth-grade chief arrester Yan Chixia said personally that the person he killed was not a human but a ghost.
Each one of these things told him that ordinary struggles for power were useless!
The most important thing is to save one's life. Without one's life, any wealth or promotion will be nothing but a dream.
After thinking about it, Zuo Yun may be the only one in Guobei County who can save his own life.
Why not the old lady Zuo?
Old lady Zuo is getting old!
Even if you look young now, it may be because you have good looks and good health, but when you are old, you are still old!
What's more, could Old Master Zuo still stand by and watch Zuo Yun lead the troops to fight against the demon?
Besides, even if Tian Wenliang wants someone else to lead the troops, he still has to be recognized by the Ministry of War!
How could he, a small county magistrate of the seventh rank, influence the fate of a hundred-household official of the sixth rank?
Therefore, the most correct thing for him to do now is to show his attitude early and not to act like a civil official.
So here he is!
This made Chen Yun confused!
He was a little confused, but when he took a look at the appointment document in Tian Wenliang's hand, he realized that he had inexplicably become a sixth-grade official. In his own world, logically he should be a company commander.
But, that’s not how it works!
In my own world, having a hundred or so people under my command is called a company commander, but in my own world, a company commander is not a sixth-rank official!
The most populous country in the world has only fifty to sixty million people. Except for the strong local people, the real number of soldiers and horses will not exceed 300,000!
A sixth-grade Baihuguan can lead up to three to five hundred people during wartime. The number of Baihuguan in the whole country is only a few thousand!
In other words, the appointment document in his hand actually appointed him the position of battalion commander or regiment commander?
If the previous Minzhuang Dutou was just a militia platoon leader or militia company commander, now he is a serious and regular officer!
But why?
I had doubts in my heart, so I asked Tian Wenliang directly.
Tian Wenliang said with a smile: "That day, the commander-in-chief mentioned it in the county government office, and I also listened to it.
It is said that when Zuo Baihu was traveling far away, he once rescued a family. The family's surname was Gao, and it was the Gao family of the general.
When Marshal Gao was still alive, he led his army in many battles with the north and made outstanding achievements. He had many old friends in the Ministry of War and the army who were indebted to him.
Now that you have saved the Gao family, how can those who protect the Gao family not repay you for their great kindness? "
Chen Yun then remembered that Miss Gao who was in his Dragon Ball space. No wonder the Gao brothers still had armor hidden in their homes. It turned out to be such a big deal.
He thought that was the only reason, but he was a little surprised by what Tian Wenliang said next.
Tian Wenliang continued:
"In addition, there is a left deputy Qianhu in front of the commander. That left deputy Qianhu is your cousin."
My cousin?
Chen Yun didn't realize it for a moment. How could he have a cousin who traveled through time?
But I soon realized that it was related to Old Man Zuo.
"You mean, my grandpa's other grandson?"
He then turned his searching eyes to Old Man Zuo. Didn't he say that Old Man Zuo actually had no descendants?
Old Man Zuo didn't speak. He seemed to have thought of it, but there was no expression on his face and he turned around and went back.
Seeing this situation, Tian Wenliang quickly explained:
“That day, although I didn’t hear much, I got a general idea.
Your cousin is not the grandson of the old lady, but he calls the old lady uncle.
I remember him saying this in class.
The old lady was once a fifth-grade Qianhu, and Qianhu can be hereditary. Maybe something happened to your father and you were young, so the old lady Zuo let your cousin pass away.
Although your cousin was demoted to the rank of Deputy Hundred Households, he has now reached the position of Deputy Thousand Households by his own efforts. This is from the fifth rank!
Although he wanted to take the old lady to his home to fulfill his filial piety, there had been no news about the old lady and he never expected to find him in Guobei County.
So that day, he took the opportunity to ask for a position in a hundred households for you in front of the commander! "
This was full of stories, and Chen Yun then remembered that it was a bit rude that he hadn't invited these people into the house yet.
"Ah! Look at me, I let the county magistrate stand at the door for a long time. It's really rude!
Everyone, follow me into the house quickly and have a sip of hot tea! "
After saying that, everyone went inside to greet him.
Ah Wu inside felt a little embarrassed when he heard that Tian Wenliang was here, so he apologized to Miss Jiu and went back to the mountain.
Miss Jiu and Wen Xi brought the tea, and Tian Wenliang and everyone else quickly stood up and saluted.
"How dare you bother the two sisters-in-law? There are no maids in Zuobai Household. Why don't you buy some?"
When asked about this, Chen Yun was stunned. The matter of buying and selling people as maids had never crossed his mind. Instead, his wife found one after another, even though the other two were not human beings.
So I shied away: "My grandpa has a strict family discipline. He does everything by himself. If you can do it without slaves, don't use slaves!"
What's more, my wife has a background in farming and studying, so she is not used to doing things around! "
Unexpectedly, Tian Wenliang got excited: "Zuo Baihu's words are wrong. This time, horse thieves broke into the city, monsters were in chaos, and countless people died in the city.
Those who die most are the breadwinners of the family, and the same is true in the countryside.
Therefore, many families had no food and clothing, so the poor families sold their children!
If a person can afford children, his family must be better off.
Since we are rich, we must have something to eat for our children so that they won’t starve to death!
Therefore, if the wealthy households in the city were kind-hearted, they would buy these children and give them a way to survive!
Especially girls!
This is merit!
Why do you practice it? "
It made sense, but it also made Chen Yun clearly understand from Tian Wenliang's few words that the current situation was not good.
After all, this is the art of speaking. He has been in power for so many years, so he can naturally understand the whole story from his words.
"If that's the case, then I'll do what's good.
I'll go to the market soon and buy some girls! "
It is indeed time to buy a baby girl. Sometimes when the family is in dire straits and has nothing, girls are the easiest to give up.
As for why the Hui family was in trouble after the demons or horse thieves caused chaos, it may have something to do with the army heading south!
After all, the rule of military rations is to eat them where they are!
But these are small things. The most important thing to ask is, what happened during this period?
When we were talking about this matter, the only people we heard were Chen Yun, Tian Wenliang and the master.
Then Tian Wenliang explained everything that had happened recently. The master had told him when he came here that since you want to borrow Zuo Yun's power, you can't have any other thoughts.
After all, in terms of rank, he is a superior officer two levels above you!
Speaking of true ability, can I really withstand the next possible danger?
Therefore, they had already discussed their attitude before coming, and they had to cooperate with Zuo Yun no matter what.
So Chen Yun also understood what happened during his absence in the past few months.
Both Li Captou and Luo were dead, and those government officials were dead and wounded. If they were facing horse thieves, they could use the terrain to resist or escape, but when faced with monsters entering the city, they could not resist at all. I don’t even have the strength!
If the northern army hadn't arrived in time, all the people in this city would have been eaten up.
Only then did Chen Yun understand that things were so dangerous!
I even heard that the boundary of Guobei County is actually the source of demons?
As for what is the land of demon origin?
Tian Wenliang didn't know either. He just listened and didn't dare to ask in detail, but he could judge from what he heard in the lobby that someone needed to guard this place, and the person guarding this place was Zuo Yun.
Therefore, although a sixth-grade official is said to be wealthy, he is also a burden. If he is not careful, his family's life may be at stake.
While chatting, Tian Wenliang even jokingly said that he did have an idea at first and wanted to get involved in the affairs of these hundreds of households in terms of money and food.
Later, I discovered that this was not my strong point, so I didn't dare to go beyond the limit, but I still recruited everyone.
After all, before Zuo Yun came back, he was standing on the city wall relying on these people, shocking everyone.
After Tian Wenliang left, what was left on the table was the appointment document and the official seal.
The official seal was not big, only three or four centimeters square, but looking at the document and the official seal, Chen Yun felt dumbfounded.
He was not excited at all. After all, he had been a high-ranking official, even in the world of murals.
However, Lan Ruosi, Ning Caichen, and Yan Chixia are all here.
So does the story begin?
Looking at the date, it was July 14th. It should have been yesterday that the gate of hell opened. Nie Xiaoqian took advantage of the gloomy atmosphere and went to the city to get her painting.
Because ghosts are allowed to enter the city on July 14th.
So next, should Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen kill the tree demon grandma, and then go directly to the underworld to face the old demon from Black Mountain?
Old demon from Montenegro!
According to the plot of the original film and television series, the Black Mountain Old Demon can completely crush Nie Xiaoqian, Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen.
But maybe they were the children of destiny, or maybe they were lucky, but by chance, the three of them killed the old demon of Montenegro, the ghost king who had been there for who knows how many years!
So now that I am here, will things take three unpredictable directions because of my butterfly effect?
he does not know!
He looked up at the official seal and appointment documents on the table, and then said to the people who were practicing outside the house: "I'm going to buy some maids later. Which of you wants to go with me?"
Generally speaking, the purchase of maids is done by the matron of the house. In this day and age, there are very few men involved in such matters.
What Chen Yun wants to do is to buy cinnabar, and he wants to draw a formation diagram!
He wants to deploy the Liangyi and Fourxiang formations in his own yard!
No matter what big thing you want to do, the first thing you have to do is to ensure the stability of the rear.
At this time, Ning Caichen rummaged through the entire Lanruo Temple and even went to the lake to look for a few times. Indeed, there was no mansion anywhere, and there were ruins everywhere!
He finally understood that what he met was really a female ghost, and the bearded man was really a head hunter, in other words a ghost killer.
But he didn't know what his state of mind was, or maybe he was impoverished, so he still stayed at Lanruo Temple that night.
Maybe, he is waiting for her!
