As Han Feng rushed to the familiar people present and greeted them one by one with fists in his hands, everyone downstairs finally woke up completely and realized with shock that all this was real.
The young man in front of me is Han Feng!
After a long absence, he returned to Bailong County.
But now, he is so powerful that it exceeds everyone's imagination. He comes with a gun and easily resolves the "danger of city destruction" in the county!
At this moment, the city lord Qin Wu was the first to calm down. He looked at Han Feng with burning eyes and couldn't help but smile with surprise on his face.
"Haha... Lord Viscount came back at the right time. He has solved the urgent need of Bailong County!"
When Han Feng heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"Lord Viscount?"
Before Han Feng could say anything, Qin Wu said.
"Everyone, we will welcome the Viscount into the city first, and we will talk about the rest later!"
With that said, Qin Wu immediately arranged for soldiers to clean the battlefield, and he personally led the way for Han Feng. The two family heads Wu and Zhao, Xiao Mu, Zhou Dafu and Han Yunshan, all walked together.
Under the city tower, everyone stepped into the gate of the county city amid cheers and cheers.
The group of people did not go far and met in the meeting hall on the tower.
There were only the top five families and Xiao Mu, the leader of Lieyan Gang, in the hall. Han Feng wanted to sit at the guest seat, but Qin Wu and everyone surrounded him and made him sit in the first place.
Everyone then took their seats, and everyone's eyes in the entire conference hall were involuntarily focused on Han Feng at the top.
In these eyes, awe, admiration... and even fanaticism can't help but appear!
Lingwu Continent respects martial arts. When Han Feng left Bailong County, he was already extremely powerful, even enough to challenge many of the older generation strong men in Bailong County.
Now that he is back, the strength displayed by Han Feng under the city tower is beyond everyone's imagination, and he is completely superior to everyone!
Among them, Zhao Zhenxiong, Han Yunshan, Zhou Dafu and Xiao Mu were the most deeply touched.
I think back then, Han Feng was still a "young eagle" who needed their protection and help. But now, in just a short period of time, the other party has already used shocking methods!
If Han Feng hadn't appeared in time today, no one could imagine what kind of danger Bailong County would have been in.
Facing the strong return of Han Feng, everyone sighed and felt a little embarrassed at the same time. No one in the hall made a sound for a while.
Sensing this atmosphere, Han Feng smiled calmly and took the initiative to talk and laugh with Qin Wu, Zhao Zhenxiong, Xiao Mu and other familiar elders without showing any arrogance or arrogance.
After a while, the previous solemn and oppressive atmosphere was finally broken, and the hall became lively again.
After all, in this battle, many people had escaped from death. Now that they had survived the disaster, they were quite excited and expressed their gratitude to Han Feng.
Han Feng responded calmly and did not mention it. After talking to everyone for a while, Han Feng finally took the initiative to ask Qin Wu.
"City Lord Qin, where did the group of bandits outside the city come from today?"
When this matter was mentioned, the originally lively hall suddenly became slightly silent, and everyone in the hall had a look of sadness on their faces.
Qin Wu also said with a solemn expression.
"Hey...this matter started a month ago!"
Han Feng immediately listened carefully to the other party's story.
It turns out that since Han Feng left Bailong County, everything has been peaceful in Bailong County.
But just a month ago, a group of bandits suddenly appeared in Bailong County. They burned, killed, looted and attacked the people in the counties on the border of Bailong County.
So all the counties in Bailong County, and even the county town, jointly sent troops to encircle and suppress this cargo bandit.
Unexpectedly, this cargo bandit was not only incredibly powerful, but also extremely cunning. He had managed to avoid joint encirclement and suppression campaigns by soldiers and horses from various counties several times.
Seeing that the encirclement and suppression failed, the cities in Bailong County strengthened their defense and communication, and sent reinforcements to each other once they were attacked by rogue bandits.
In this way, although there have been many incidents of bandits causing trouble, they have not caused much commotion.
I thought that this would be able to suppress the arrogance of this group of bandits, but I didn't expect that the number of these bandits would somehow increase in size.
And they quickly divided into multiple forces, operating in several counties on the border of Bailong County. They committed rape, prostitution, robbery, burning, killing and looting. It can be said that they committed all kinds of evil.
These bandits were already powerful, but they were divided into multiple forces and wreaked havoc at the same time.
This makes it difficult for the county and county towns to provide assistance to all parties, and there is a faint tendency to be "divided" by these rogue bandits.
At first, these bandits were only wreaking havoc in the suburbs and villages around the cities. As the cities gathered the surrounding people, the power of these bandits became more and more powerful, and they even began to invade the cities.
Even a few days ago, a county town northeast of the county town had been breached.
When these bandits invaded the city, they did not occupy the city. They only looted and killed some, then abandoned the city and continued to invade other cities.
During this period, Bailong County was also invaded by several groups of bandits, but with the advantage of the military strength in the county and the presence of strong men from the five major families and Lieyan Gang, they were able to repel them time and time again.
However, today this group of bandits came too suddenly and were surprisingly powerful. They actually broke through the city defense formation and almost defeated everyone and rushed into the county town. Fortunately, Han Feng arrived in time to avoid the situation from spreading.
But now in Bailong County, due to the inexplicable appearance of so many bandits, everywhere is already in dire straits, suffering heavy losses and huge casualties.
After listening to Qin Wu's story, Han Feng couldn't help but frown tightly.
The situation in Bailong County seemed to be worse than he imagined. Qin Wu didn't know the origin of these bandits, but Han Feng knew very well that these people must be sent by the Great Yan Empire to create border disturbances.
Moreover, Han Feng had just fought against these people.
Judging from the courageous spirit exuded by the opponent during the battle, the orderly formation during the retreat, and the decisive suicide by taking poison after being captured.
These bandits are most likely from the Great Yan Empire's military.
Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise once these guys entered the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After pondering for a moment, Han Feng couldn't help but ask.
"The rogue bandits in Bailong County are causing chaos and are so rampant. Could it be that no one from above sent troops to suppress it?"
Qin Wu said helplessly.
"Our Bailong County is originally one of the "seven prefectures and twenty-three counties" of Xichuan Province. Its military strength is naturally weak. It is difficult to send troops to suppress these bandits in a short period of time.
However, the county governor's office has sent letters to various cities. The county governor has mobilized troops to the southern counties. Reinforcements will arrive in Bailong County and the northern counties in a few days. "
The administrative level of the Qianlan Empire is divided into three levels: province, county, and county.
A province is controlled by a provincial governor, and each county has a "county guard" in charge of military affairs, while each city in the county has a "city lord" in charge of a city and the affairs surrounding the city.
If it is an important border town and needs to be heavily guarded, the provincial governor will directly send a "guard" to guard it separately.
Qin Wu is only the master of Bailong County, and the top leader of Bailong County is still the county guard.
However, the county guard will not be stationed in the county town, but will set up a separate county guard house, which is independently located in the center of the county town, radiating to the entire county, and controlling the most important military power in the county.
Now that there are rogue bandits in the north of Bailong County, it is natural for the county governor's office to gather troops to support the north.
Knowing that the reinforcements were coming, Han Feng's expression softened a lot.
As long as someone from above takes action, the situation in Bailong County can be stabilized.
Seeing Han Feng's expression softening, Qin Wu hesitated and asked.
"The Viscount returned to Bailong County this time, but to complete the academy's mission?"
When Han Feng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The mission he received this time was to exterminate the bandits and use the heads of these bandits to accumulate military exploits.
Every time you kill a Chen-level bandit, you can accumulate one battle merit. One hundred battle merits are needed to complete this mission.
However, this was a task assigned by Tiannan College. How did Qin Wu know about it?
He immediately nodded and said: "I have indeed received the task of exterminating the bandits. How do you know about this, City Lord Qin?"
Qin Wu said with a bitter smile.
"To be honest, a few days ago, students from three martial arts academies came to the county city, and they also received the task of suppressing bandits. Now they are in the county city."
When Han Feng heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised. He didn't expect that there were students from other martial arts schools who came to Bailong County first.
But Han Feng soon became confused.
"Since they have entered the city and the bandits are attacking the city today, why don't they come out to help?"
When Qin Wu heard this, his expression became more and more bitter, he shook his head and sighed.
"Hey... these students from the Martial Arts Academy are indeed extraordinary in strength, and they also helped us wipe out rogue bandits once.
But during that time of suppressing bandits, they had conflicts over competing for military exploits, and they even fought for this reason.
In the following days, the three parties fought several times in the city. Instead, many shops in the city were smashed, some people were injured, and they were no longer interested in suppressing the bandits. "
When Han Feng heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
But Qin Wu smiled again.
"But fortunately, Lord Viscount, you are back, and we, Bailong County, will have hope!"
Han Feng nodded thoughtfully, and then finally asked what he was confused about.
"Uh... City Lord Qin, why do you call me 'Lord Viscount'?"
