After the logistics troops transported the materials into the city, Kan Jing began to get busy and had to complete the handover work.

Chen Ning and the Bull Demon King were only temporarily arranged to help in the logistics force, and Kan Jing was reluctant to really instruct Chen Ning to move things, so Chen Ning and the Bull Demon King were very idle.

Chen Ning first helped Gu Yutong solve the problem of the identity of the residents, and helped Gu Yutong to have several levels on the record, and in the future, Gu Yutong and a few people can be regarded as the permanent residence of Vermilion Bird City, and they can enter and exit Vermilion Bird City freely under normal circumstances.

Then, Chen Ning, the Bull Demon King, and Gu Yutong found a restaurant to sit down and have a good meal.

At the same time, Chen Ning also contacted Liu Ruyan, the general manager of Liujia Commercial Bank, Liu Ruyan is a friend of Chen Ning, and Chen Ning feels that many things can get rid of Liu Ruyan's help.

Liu Ruyan hadn't arrived yet, Chen Ning chatted with Gu Yutong while drinking tea, and he asked Gu Yutong how they could appear here, and what about the children in the orphanage?

Gu Yutong said with a wry smile: "The news of the defeat of the imperial army in the Black Fortress spread, and later I heard that the empire was going to give up the southern provinces, and the zombie army was about to drive straight in, and the residents of the southern provinces began to pack up their things and flee. We are no exception, the children in the orphanage have reached a certain age, and I have no ability to protect them anymore, so I will distribute most of the gold coins in my hand to them, and let them escape by themselves. After all, in this situation, who can survive and who can't escape the tragic fate in the end depends on luck. ”

Gu Xiaocheng was not as emotional as her sister, she was still optimistic and lively, she blinked her eyes and interjected, "We are very lucky to meet you Brother Chen Ning again." ”

Chen Ning said with a smile: "Go out and rely on friends, your sister, Sun Kun, and Niu Feng have all fought side by side with me, so I can't stand by and watch if I can help." ”

Chen Ning paused when he said this, and then asked them: "By the way, what are your plans next after you come here?"

Gu Yutong: "We all still have some gold coins, and we plan to buy a house here first, and then see if we can find some work to make a living, but Sun Kun told Niu Feng that they still plan to be bounty hunters, but they just put their roots here." ”

Chen Ning said: "If you want to buy a house, you can ask my friend to help, she is the general manager of Liujia Commercial Bank, and she has a lot of resources. ”

As soon as Chen Ning's words fell, he heard Liu Ruyan's crisp voice coming: "Who is saying bad things about me?"

Then, the door of the box was opened, and a beautiful woman wearing a cyan embroidered cheongsam came in with Nana, making everyone's eyes light up.

This beauty is none other than Liu Ruyan.

If Kan Jing is cold and upright, then Gu Yutong's characteristics are delicate and strong, and this Liu Ruyan is bewitching, especially when she laughs, she has a taste of affection.

When Chen Ning saw Liu Ruyan, he stood up and smiled slightly: "Miss Liu, you are finally here, come, I'll introduce you to ......"

Gu Xiaocheng whispered to her sister: "Sister, you have another strong competitor, regret it, I told you to drug Brother Chen Ning at the beginning, but you didn't listen...... Oops, it hurts, sister, you flick my forehead again!"

Gu Yutong snorted coldly in a low voice: "Who told you to talk crooked nonsense, shut up for me." ”

Chen Ning introduced everyone to Liu Ruyan separately, and when he was about to introduce Gu Yutong, Gu Yutong took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile: "I'm Gu Yutong." ”

Gu Xiaocheng next to him straightened his flat chest, and said a little provocatively: "My name is Gu Xiaocheng, and I am her sister." ”

Liu Ruyan shook hands with Gu Yutong and said with a smile: "Sisters of the Gu family, hello." ”

After the introduction, everyone sat down again, Chen Ning told Liu Ruyan about Gu Yutong and the others wanted to find a few cheap houses, Liu Ruyan glanced at the epaulettes on Chen Ning's shoulders, and found that Chen Ning was already a captain, she secretly exclaimed in her heart that she rose so fast, and said happily: "Wrap it up on me." ”

The meal lasted an hour, and after eating, a servant came in and handed Liu Ruyan three keys.

Liu Ruyan instructed the servant to step back, and then handed the three keys to Gu Yutong: "These are three houses on Xinxing Street, all of which are residential houses with small courtyards, and the reason for you to choose this place is to consider that the security here is better." ”

Chen Ning couldn't help but say when he heard this: "I thought it was an old suite, you actually found a bungalow with a yard, this kind of residence should be very sought-after and expensive, right?"

Gu Yutong hurriedly said, "We don't have so much money, I'm afraid this kind of house is not suitable for us." ”

Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "Don't talk about money, you can stay first, and talk about it later." ”

Gu Yutong heard a few words, and they all understood, Liu Ruyan and Chen Ning have a really good relationship, and she seems to be working hard to sell favors to Chen Ning, after all, she is a businessman and knows how to invest very well, Chen Ning is already a captain at a young age, and the future is immeasurable, Liu Ruyan doesn't mind investing in Chen Ning.

Gu Yutong originally wanted to refuse, but Chen Ning had already spoken: "Okay, Gu Yutong, you can live first, you sisters have a house, and the other two are for Sun Kun and Niu Feng." ”

Gu Yutong could only accept the key with the address written on it, Sun Kun and Niu Feng were also grateful to Chen Ning, they were bounty hunters, and they didn't have a good impression of the soldiers, but Chen Ning made them change their minds, Chen Ning is really righteous enough.

Liu Ruyan drove herself, Gu Yutong and them sent them to the residence, settled Gu Yutong and them, and left their contact information, and then she drove away with Chen Ning and the Bull Demon King.

Liu Ruyan sent Chen Ning back to the military guest house, and on the way, Chen Ning asked softly: "Miss Liu, do you have any news of my daughter?"

When Chen Ning left last time, he asked Liu Ruyan to help take care of his daughter secretly.

Liu Ruyan said lightly: "I have been helping you pay attention to the news of your daughter Xiaoguo, according to my understanding, your ex-wife Zhang Qian has a relationship with Liu Ming, the young master of the Liu family, but Zhang Qian is very capable and shows good talent in business, the Liu family sent her to the imperial capital Qinglong City to take charge of the business there, and she also brought her daughter Xiaoguo to Qinglong City." ”

Chen Ning was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "It's good news, at least my daughter is a little better than living in the Liu family." ”

Liu Ruyan asked Chen Ning: "What about you, I heard that the front-line army is going to retreat to Vermilion Bird City, what are your plans?"

Chen Ning smiled bitterly: "My subordinate troops have been wiped out, I am now thrown into the logistics department, where will I be placed next, I don't know, let it be." ”

Liu Ruyan glanced at Chen Ning: "I have confidence in you!"

Chen Ning couldn't cry or laugh, thinking: I don't have confidence in my own future, but you have confidence in me, where does your confidence come from?

In the next half month, Chen Ning spent his time comfortably in Vermilion Bird City, and his enemy Liu Luanlin was probably also very busy, so he didn't know about his arrival, so he didn't come to trouble him.

The front-line army really retreated, abandoning the southern provinces and retreating to Suzaku Castle.

The injured Grand Governor also said that he would not return to the imperial capital in the next three months, but would recuperate from his injuries in Vermilion Bird City, and personally deploy the defense line around Vermilion Bird City to control the zombie disaster in the southern provinces, so as not to let the war continue to spread to the imperial capital in the north.

In addition, the Metropolitan Governor is sitting here, and considering the more than 20 million displaced people entrenched outside Suzaku City, he must find a way to settle the displaced people, at least find a way to solve the displaced people, and prevent the displaced people from causing trouble.

It is said that after the Southern Province was abandoned by the Empire, the inhabitants were so angry that instead of fleeing to Suzaku Castle with the exiles, they joined forces and formed a rebel army.

The rebels rebel not only against the zombies, but also against the Empire, and if they don't join them, then they will slaughter the other inhabitants and outcasts.

Because the empire abandoned the southern provinces, the rebels won the hearts of the people and grew rapidly, there were several medium-sized cities controlled by the imperial army, and the zombies had not yet arrived, they had been captured by the rebels, and now the southern provinces were divided into three forces: one was the zombies, the other was the rebels, and the other was naturally the imperial army of Vermilion Bird City.

The rise of the rebels made the big names in the imperial capital afraid.

There are still 20 million homeless people near Suzaku City, if these homeless people are so disillusioned with the empire that they join the rebels one after another, then no matter how poor the equipment of the rebels is, but the number of them is huge to the level of tens of millions, it will endanger the survival of the empire.

Therefore, the Metropolitan Governor Xiao Ke now has two tasks, one is to set up a defensive line to prevent the zombie war from spreading to the north, and to control the war in the southern provinces, and the other task is to pacify the displaced people, quell the rebellion, and not let the rebels grow and rise.

It was precisely in order to appease the displaced people and stabilize the morale of the army, after the Metropolitan Governor Xiao Ke led the army to retreat to Vermilion Bird City, the first decree issued was to select talents.

One of the most direct ways is to hold a martial arts exam, and the first place in the martial arts exam is the martial champion, who is directly awarded a high position, and allows the martial champion to form a legion to serve the empire!

In addition, those who perform well in the martial arts examination can also join the army and serve the empire.

In the martial arts exam, soldiers with a military rank below the rank of major, as well as disciples of wealthy families, ordinary residents of Vermilion Bird City, and even outcasts outside the city, can also sign up for it.

When this news came out, the people inside and outside Suzaku City were shocked, especially the homeless, they all saw a glimmer of hope, everyone thought that as long as they stood out in the martial arts exam, then they would be able to completely change their identity and status, and if they could become the champion of martial arts, they could also become officers, and even establish a legion, how majestic!

In an instant, the displaced people saw the way out, although the way out was narrow, and thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, but everyone stopped complaining about the empire, and countless people enthusiastically signed up to participate in the martial arts exam.
