Qinghe County, Pingli County.

It's late at night.

Lu Chen and the others naturally returned here from that spirit crystal deposit a long time ago.

Moreover, when Lu Chen came back from there, there were more than 2,000 Jingzhou Bujia and Lingnan Jiashi by his side!

And the scene at that time immediately startled the county lord of Pingli County before.

Because he clearly remembered that when Lu Chen left, he only brought a sergeant with just over 100 people.

But when Lu Chen came back, he directly became more than 2,000 sergeants!

And these sergeants are all sergeants who have practiced the sevenfold realm and above, and none of them are at the low realm!

With such a big change, it would be strange if the county lord of Pingli County didn't react at all.

......

Above the county capital.

At this moment, Lu Chen was dealing with some simple matters that needed to be dealt with after he had just captured the city.

Although it was already late at night, Lu Chen was still working so hard to deal with these affairs, and he didn't feel a headache at all.

But this is normal, for Lu Chen, he just got such a spiritual crystal deposit today, but it's too late to be happy, where can he feel a headache now.

"Well, it's barely possible. Although this Pingli County is indeed not as good as other large counties in Qinghe County, there are still a lot of people, and there are more than 40,000 people. ”

While looking at these affairs, Lu Chen also nodded slightly.

There was still a smile on his face, and these things that would always give him headaches in normal times seemed to have become something that could be happy at this time of day.

And when Lu Chen was still slowly dealing with these affairs.

Wang Ben, who was wearing a simple battle armor, also suddenly came to Lu Chen's side at this time.

Moreover, his expression also looked very serious, as if he had encountered something difficult.

"My lord, the county lord of Pingli County before. He hasn't left Pingli County yet, and he is still standing outside the county seat, looking at the spirit crystal mine in the mountain behind Dongcheng!"

In front of Lu Chen, Wang Ben immediately reported loudly.

After Lu Chen and the others came back from that spirit crystal deposit before, Lu Chen immediately released the county lord and his son.

However, although the two of them were released, the other Pingli County sergeants were not treated so well.

Those sergeants had all surrendered before, and they were already considered to have surrendered, and the surrendered soldiers naturally had the treatment that the surrendered soldiers should have.

Short hours of hard labor are certainly indispensable, but that's about it. Lu Chen didn't treat these soldiers as if they were real slaves.

"Oh, haven't left yet? It's kind of interesting, he doesn't want to go to that spirit crystal mine and grab some spirit crystals. ”

Listening to what Wang Ben said before, Lu Chen immediately put down the affairs in his hand and looked at Wang Ben seriously.

"This ...... I don't know. But my lord, if they really have that idea. Now in our army, no one but me can stop him. Besides, I can't stay there anytime and anywhere. ”

At this moment, Wang Ben shook his head helplessly.

As the general by Lu Chen's side now, in addition to commanding the Jingzhou Army and the Lingnan Army in the entire Pingli County, there are as many as 4,000 troops. But they still have to send troops to look after those who have surrendered.

Compared with Lu Chen, his affairs are not much less than Lu Chen.

"Well, I see. ”

Immediately, Lu Chen nodded silently.

At this time, his eyes were also looking straight into the distance, as if he was choosing something important in his heart.

......

Outside the county seat of Pingli, on a hill in the north.

At this moment, the county dignitary, who was still Pingli County before, was standing straight here, looking up at the stars in the sky.

Behind him, his son and dozens of dead soldiers also stood here, looking at everything that was quiet around them, and they didn't dare to utter a word.

"Alas, the Spirit Crystal Deposit...... The spirit crystal deposit is just a virtual dream after all. I originally thought that I had discovered this spiritual crystal deposit in the mountain behind Dongcheng, and before long, my Chen family would be able to ascend to the palace. ”

"But who knows? Under such an opportunity, I suddenly killed such a strong army, not only seized my city, but even this spirit crystal deposit was also given to others......"

At this time, this county lord also whispered with great hatred.

Just imagine, if a person's most important wealth is directly taken away by someone else in an accident. Then this person, wouldn't he feel a deep hatred!

At this moment, this county lord can still look up at the starry sky like this, and he can slowly talk about his difficulties.

It can be said that with his mentality, he is already beyond many people.

"Father, it's all my ...... to blame"

And at this time, the young man on the side of the county honorable also bowed his head deeply at this moment, and began to blame himself like this.

"Blame you? No, it's still me. ”

Listening to his son's self-blame, the county honorable as a father immediately shook his head silently.

"Blame me for not disciplining you well, so that you have developed that unruly appearance since you were a child. But today, we have experienced such an incident, and it must be very difficult for you to show the way you used to be, right?"

Everyone is subject to change, and especially after experiencing a major event in life, the magnitude of this change will be even greater.

And as the county magistrate of Pingli County, who is the father of this young man, he also believes in his son unconditionally at the moment.

He firmly believes that his son will never be the same as before after today.

"Don't worry, father. The old self is already dead today! From this day on, I will never be the same again!"

The young man just raised a hand, pointed it to the sky, and began to yell.

In his eyes, there was a faint glimmer of determined light. The way he looks now has indeed become a little different from before.

And yet at this moment.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

A crisp applause suddenly rang out.

The crowd of them hurriedly looked in the direction where the applause came.

There, a young man with a smile on his face and a young man wearing a simple battle armor were slowly walking towards them.

Looking at these two people, a trace of anger immediately appeared on the faces of many people here.

And, especially the son of the county honor.

"How dare you come! What more do you want? Ah, the most important things in our house, but they are all for you. If you continue to be greedy, then we will have to fight to the death!"

He roared directly at the two people who came slowly, and the killing intent in his eyes was not suppressed at all.

Because, the two people who came over were also Lu Chen and Wang Ben who made them like this today.

However, soon a majestic voice sounded, and the angry teenager immediately fell silent.

"Xuan'er, be quiet!"

After this county lord said this, he looked at Lu Chen and them with a vigilant expression.

There's no way, the other party has a strong man at the peak level of the Earth Martial Realm, and he can't do it if he's not vigilant. And, too, he had a deep sense of concern.

Fear, the other side has come to kill them!

But obviously, Lu Chen was opposite them.

At this moment, the current scene has long been expected.

"Hahaha, you don't have to be like this, I'm here to bring you good news. ”

In front of everyone, Lu Chen said it like this. Moreover, he also had an unfathomable smile on his face.
