When Luo Chuan and his Lijun Qingqi returned to Shou Tong City, the news about their battle with the demon clan had not yet spread.
It was already noon when Luochuan woke up the next day. When he got up, he noticed that the army camp was extremely excited, and he knew that news of that battle had probably spread.
At this time, the troops that Zhao Wuji sent to the north to attack Xingcheng to rescue Zhengcang were about to return. Things were going more smoothly than Zhao Wuji imagined. Even if he hadn't sent out troops this time, with the cautious attitude of the commander of Xingcheng, he learned that Meng Xiaotian was defeated and returned south. From now on, I will no longer sit around waiting to die outside Zhengcang City.
By the time the army heading north returned, Luo Chuan and Zhao Wuji had already finalized and handed over the arrangements for the front-line defense of Shou Tong City. They only waited one night, and the army set off the next day. Together with the army, they returned north to Tongcang City.
Chen Shaoxiong, the lord of Tongcang City, could still only lie in bed but his injury was under control. Luo Chuan and Zhao Wuji simply completed a military meeting in front of his hospital bed and deployed Tongcang and Shou on the same line to defend Chen Shaoxiong and his troops. Several captains explained clearly in person, and also asked several captains to take good care of Chen Shaoxiong before they left and continued westward with the army without any delay.
When they crossed the Tianmen Pass and arrived at Ganyuan, the mood of the army was obviously much higher. Not only had they returned in triumph, but the good news from the front line had been spreading frequently these days. The people in the northern part of Li County had already known the battle situation on the front line. Now that they saw the army returning, the people along the way The merchants spontaneously lined the streets to welcome him. That scene made Luochuan, a man who could never regard Li County as his hometown, feel a little warm in his heart.
The infantry army returned to the Ganyuan Army camp. Luo Chuan, Zhao Wuji and others, together with Wangchuan Jianxiu, continued southward with Lijun Qingqi. It was not until they arrived at Ganyuan City that they realized that this place had been invaded by a group of Ganyuan dignitaries. What kind of momentum.
Countless people crowded on both sides of the official road outside the city and shouted at this powerful cavalry army from a distance. The fanatical atmosphere was so overwhelming that even the soldiers posted along both sides of the official road could not stop them. When they got closer, I didn’t know who was taking the lead. The people on both sides of the official road knelt down again. The dense crowds of people made Luo Chuan feel dumbfounded. He thought that when he came to Ganyuan before, he didn’t expect that there were people in the city. So many people.
At the gate of the city were a group of officials from Ganyuan and talkers from various powerful families. From a long distance away, Luo Chuan, who was riding on horseback, had already seen the fat figure in rich clothes in front of the crowd. He looked at the person beside him. Zhao Wuji smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, look, our General Han looks more like the governor of Ganyuan County. He looks so harmonious standing with a group of elders from powerful families."
Zhao Wuji smiled lightly, "How can you tell a person accurately by his appearance?"
"That's right," Luo Chuan smiled and stretched out his hand to straighten his collar. He, Zhao Wuji, Jiang Bo and others did not wear armor today, but wore loose but thick Chinese clothes. For a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable. I don’t know how many times he pulled the collar on the road. “Do you recognize the uncle Lu Cong and Zhao who is the governor of Ganyuan County next to you?”
"Of course I recognize him. Among the second generation of Gan Yuan Lu family now alive, he should be considered outstanding. He is outstanding both in politics and as a person. The old lady valued him very much when he was here. He was also expected to become an important minister in the court." Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "He once served as a county magistrate in Taiming. Even people like Lu Dongfeng who are stingy with good words would say good things about him. So I think he is indeed somewhat outstanding."
"Oh," Luo Chuan nodded.
As the army approached the city gate, all the officials and dignitaries knelt down and shouted, "Welcome to you, the Governor."
Luo Chuan didn't put on any airs. He got off his horse and personally helped Han Feng up. Then he said to a group of powerful elders, "Everyone, please get up. The weather is not warm yet. It's really hard for you elders to wait for me at the city gate." It shouldn’t be.”
One sentence made this group of officials and powerful people dare not even dare to say it.
After Luo Chuan exchanged some polite words with everyone, he took Han Feng and walked into the city first. As he walked, he asked, "How about General Han, is Gan Yuan still in the habit of living here? Is the family settled?" No wait. When Han Feng replied, he said apologetically, "I've been busy running around since you entered Li County. Originally, I should have personally dealt with these matters."
Han Feng immediately knelt down in fear, but was pulled up by Luo Chuan. He bent down and saluted, "Han Feng is just a prince. As soon as the governor surrenders, I don't know how to express such kindness and virtue if the governor cares so much." repay!"
"As General Han said, isn't it the best way to repay him by guarding Gan Yuan for the Grand Administrator?" said Zhao Wuji, who was walking beside Luo Chuan.
"Yes, yes, what General Zhao taught you is that Han Feng was speechless," Han Feng immediately bent down and saluted Zhao Wuji.
Luo Chuan waved his hand and said, "We are all a family. If you say these words, you will be out of touch." He turned around and looked at a middle-aged man who was also a little fat but fair and without a beard and followed Han Feng. , "Master Lu, after all, General Han is new to Ganyuan and is not familiar with the place. If he has any difficulties, you can help me more. We must let the Han family settle down safely so that General Han can have no worries." Why don't I leave the county and expand my territory?"
The fair and fat man was not flattering. When he heard this, he just bent down and saluted, "Lu Cong will obey the order of the Grand Administrator and will help General Han and his family settle down in Ganyuan as soon as possible."
Luo Chuan nodded to him and then said to Han Feng, "I can take a break this time when I return to Licheng. Now that the war in the north has come to an end, there will always be rewards in the court. I will discuss with them when the time comes. You, Han, are looking for a good piece of land in Ganyuan. The land in Ganyuan is fertile and the climate is good. There have been no wars for hundreds of thousands of years. Now it is the core hinterland of Li County. It is worth investing in building a fort. For such a fortress, its stability for hundreds of thousands of years is certain."
Han Feng suddenly burst into tears of gratitude again.
The group of people marched to a spacious courtyard not far from the city gate. The pavilions and pavilions were quite elegant. After asking, they found out that the owner was the Lu family. There were already several large tables in the main courtyard. At the banquet, Luo Chuan sat at the head table on the left. On the left were Zhao Wuji, Luo Jiang and other accompanying generals. On the right were Han Feng, Lu Cong and other Ganyuan officials, as well as Dou, Zhou, Chen, Xie, Yan, Gongsun and other powerful family elders, while Niu Deyi and other monks were seated alone at a few tables on the right. This shows that Lu Cong has done enough homework for this preparation.
A banquet where both the guest and the host enjoy themselves.
Especially the old man Xie Kunpeng, who was toasted by Luo Chuan himself. Although he still didn't talk much, his face was radiant, as if he was a few years younger.
When the officials and dignitaries, including the host Lu Cong, dispersed one after another, the compound became the temporary stop for Luo Chuan and his party. Until now, the man sitting at the head table on the right was as quiet as his brothers. The long-bearded old Taoist who was eating stretched out and turned to Luochuan and said, "Master Prefect, it's not easy for you."
Luo Chuan laughed dumbly, but saw that Niu Deyi had already slapped the long-bearded old Taoist on the head, said hello to Luo Chuan, and then led Qin Wansong and other Wangchuan sword cultivators to the backyard residence with their attendants.
The young female Taoist turned her head and looked at Luo Chuan, got up and left.
In the huge main courtyard, only four people, Luo Chuan, Zhao Wuji, Luo Jiang and Siqi, were left.
Luo Chuan, who was slightly drunk, turned to Zhao Wuji and asked, "Uncle Zhao, how submissive do you think these Ganyuan dignitaries are now...?"
