successfully subdued an iron hanhan.

Crepe Bai has a bold and loyal personality, which is definitely a good seedling worth cultivating.

It's just pity for Zhao Qinglin, watching the fierce general who he finally subdued was pried into the corner by the lord in front of him, and his heart was sour, not to mention how bad it was.

Of course, Chen Ziqian didn't mean to favor one over the other, seeing Zhao Qinglin's depressed face, he said appropriately: "Qinglin also has no pressure, this mansion Jun has always only looked at ability and does not ask about background, as long as you can give full play to your strengths and work for me, even if you are too guarded, I can let you be!" ”

"Thank you, my subordinates are determined to be the lord's liver and brain!" Zhao Qinglin was overjoyed.

Through the attitude that Chen Ziqian showed just now, he can indeed see the difference of this lord.

And the world is in turmoil, in this world of great contention, the princes everywhere are vying for territory, with Chen Ziqian's strength, even Huaihua is already in the bag, and it is really possible for him to be a county guard if he does not perform well in the future.

At that time, he will be able to glorify his ancestors, and even the head of the family will be polite to him......

Thinking about it, Zhao Qinglin couldn't help but have an intoxicated smile on his face.

Chen Ziqian saw it in his eyes, and just after encouraging him, he poured cold water and said: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, my subordinates don't raise waste, when you are in a high position, if you don't have enough matching ability, it will be a matter of time before you are taken down." ”

"There is a lord to cultivate, and when there is really a superior, the subordinates will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!"

I'm very confident.,The implication is not to give a chance to be taken off.。

The three of them chatted along the way, and through this simple verbal conversation, the relationship became much closer.

More than 300 riders raised a long string of dust on the official road, and when the scorching sun fell, the group successfully arrived at Luyun Mountain.

It's still a wilderness, but the peaks here are more green than the loess hills of Yong'an and Pingyong, and there are even some vigorous trees on Luyun Mountain.

I have been living in this desolate place in the northwest for nearly half a year, and I have become much more comfortable when I see the greenery again.

Everyone dismounted to rest, Xiong Ji handed the water bladder to Chen Ziqian, and ordered the shadow guards to be on guard.

Chen Ziqian stood at the foot of Luyun Mountain, took a sip of the water bladder, looked up at a stockade on the mountain and said, "It's so deserted, it seems that this stockade has long been deserted." ”

"Affected by the Liukou, there are many similar villages in Huaihua that have migrated, here is close to Bashan, the situation is good, and then go further is really not surviving, sparsely populated." Zhao Qinglin explained casually.

With Chen Ziqian promising his future prospects, he is full of enthusiasm in everything he is doing now, and he will be able to answer any questions.

Chen Ziqian nodded, most of the rogues are cruel and murderous, otherwise they are rape and plunder, the people are not able to fight, and the government turns a blind eye, what can they do except migrate to other places?

In the current troubled times, human life is as cheap as mustard, and it is not bad to have a life to migrate, and most of the villages are afraid that they have been slaughtered by the rogues before they have time to migrate.

In these days, there is no reason at all!

Chen Ziqian strolls up the mountain, Luyun Mountain is continuous and far-reaching, the mountains are undulating, the height is not too high, there is a big road to go straight to the mountain village.

"Crepe Bai, I'll give you a task." Chen Ziqian said as he walked: "You have also served as a centurion, and the fact that you are outstanding in force is obvious to all, let me see your ability to command the army today, the three hundred shadow guards will be led by you tonight, is there a problem in being responsible for arming?" ”

"Rest assured, the guarantee is foolproof!" Crepe Bai's face was excited, there was no one who didn't want to be a general when he was a soldier, how could he miss such a good opportunity.

Zhao Qinglin was also quite pleased with this, standing there with an aunt smile on his face, as if watching his child get ahead.

Crepe Bai took the order and left, leaving thirty people to be responsible for guarding Chen Ziqian and Zhao Qinglin, and the rest were taken by him to set up defenses.

In this regard, Chen Ziqian didn't bother with it, in this wilderness, he couldn't even see a single figure, so he didn't have to worry about anything going wrong, and the right was to let Crepe Baixian adapt to it.

All the way up the mountain, soon everyone came to the stockade.

There are obvious traces of fighting, and the chaos is a little messy, but most of the houses are still well preserved.

Chen Ziqian asked Xiong Ji to take people to clean up the largest house in the stockade first, while he walked around the stockade.

This cottage is not very large, and most of the houses are thatched wooden houses, and it is roughly estimated that there should have been more than 100 families living here before.

Looking at the extent of the dilapidation of the village, it should have been occupied by stragglers in the past month or two, and many houses have collapsed, and there are even dried blood stains on some wooden doors.

"Ahh Not far away, there was a sudden scream, and Zhao Qinglin, who was wandering around, fell to the edge of the well, his face looked extremely ugly.

"What's going on?" Chen Ziqian walked over quickly.

"My lord, this well and the well are full of dead people!" Zhao Qinglin raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to the well and said.

Chen Ziqian took a look, and a foul smell immediately came from the well, almost blowing him off.

A well full of corpses, the corpse water is glowing green, and maggots are crawling everywhere in it, and the picture is quite infiltrating.

Obviously, most of the aborigines were slaughtered, and after the rogues killed people, they didn't bother to dig pits and bury them, and directly threw the corpses into the well and scribbled them away.

This is special, it's really crazy to the extreme.

Chen Ziqian's face was dark, and he recognized some faces from the corpses in the well, many of whom were still children.

Those rogues didn't even let go of their children.

The most hateful thing is that if you kill someone and put the body in the well, why is it that even the water source is polluted, and if the plague spreads, then what will happen?

"Someone!" Chen Ziqian shouted and found Xiong Ji and others to deal with the aftermath.

It is not realistic to salvage the corpses, after so long, the corpses have long since decomposed, and the well can only be filled.

After filling in the well, Chen Ziqian asked Xiong Ji and the others to look around to see if there were any discarded and untreated corpses elsewhere.

After making sure that there was nothing else unusual, Chen Ziqian put his mind at ease.

"Those rogues are so evil that they are simply inhumane." Zhao Qinglin's heart was greatly impacted, and he scolded and softened the emotions in his heart.

Chen Ziqian didn't pay attention to the other party, and walked into the private house that the Shadow Guard had cleaned up to rest.

This wooden house is relatively well preserved, and the layout of the house is spacious, divided into two rooms, the inner room and the living room, which is the largest building in the whole village.

Chen Ziqian is not disgusted, it is good to have a tile to cover his head when he goes out, after a long march time, he is also used to sleeping in the open, but there is nothing to pick and choose.

However, Zhao Qinglin felt quite uncomfortable about this, not that he was used to being pampered, but he had just seen those corpses rotting in the well, which made him feel quite ominous, and he always felt that this village was not very clean, and so many people died, maybe there were unjust souls that would not disperse.

It's an old feudal, and I'm still in awe of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

But because Chen Ziqian, who had a calm face, didn't say anything, Zhao Qinglin couldn't propose to leave the village, not to mention the barren mountains and mountains, he couldn't let the lord sleep in the wilderness, right?

Following up on the house with a sad face, Zhao Qinglin thought for a while and asked, "The lord really wants to take in those rogues during this trip to Baoyuan?" ”

"What's the problem?" Chen Ziqian asked nonchalantly, everyone had already decided that he came to Baoyuan to recruit troops.

In fact, to win the treasure yuan, it is indeed necessary to rely on the hands of local forces.

Baoyuan is mixed, there are many large and small forces, it is too difficult to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress, so you can only mix in first and act at the opportunity, and borrow the hands of others to eliminate or co-opt other forces one after another, which is the most time-saving and labor-saving method.

Zhao Qinglin looked at Chen Ziqian and said cautiously: "Those rogues are all inhumane, and they are used to being powerful outside, so they may not be willing to accept the invitation of the lord, and even if they can be successfully absorbed, if they rebel again one day, wouldn't it be a problem to raise tigers?" ”

"Wait until you get Baoyuan, let's talk about it depending on the situation." Chen Ziqian waved his hand and did not talk about this topic in depth.

It is true that many rogues are murderous, but it is undeniable that some rogues are indeed desperate to make this decision.

Just like some civilians can't survive anymore and are forced to go up the mountain to be bandits, the current soldiers are also not so easy to be a soldier, and they are pushed out as cannon fodder at every turn, and they will definitely run away if they want to live.

These are all tragedies created by troubled times, if there is a good place to go, no one wants to have a meal outside the world.

"You go first to see how the crepe fortifications are, it's going to be dark soon, let him come back early to rest after deployment, and he's still injured." Chen Ziqian ordered the eviction of customers, and directly drove Zhao Qinglin away, and the provincial guy would talk to him about ghosts, snakes, and gods later.
