The next day, early in the morning.

Garrison outside the East Wilderness City.

Lin Cang sat cross-legged in the military tent with his eyes closed, flowing the internal force in his body through his whole body, and finally merging into the dantian.

Every time you use the Star Absorbing Dafa, the internal force in the body will be disordered, and it is necessary to reconcile the blue dragon to dredge the meridians and make the power in the body go to the next level.

That's when it happened.

A voice rang out.

"My lord, the governor of the Eastern Wilderness asks to see you."

Hearing this, Lin Cang opened his eyes and said softly, "Let him come in." ”

A thin man with handsome features walked towards the tent.

The man bowed to Lin Cang and said, "Xiaguan Hu Qingfeng has seen Lord Lin. ”

Lin Cang looked at Hu Qingfeng and looked up and down, this Hu Qingfeng was tall, and his breath was disordered.

looks like a weak scholar, neither like a corrupt official nor a martial arts practitioner.

But people can't be good-looking, Lin Cang didn't investigate Hu Qingfeng's details, and he didn't dare to directly assert whether the other party was good or bad.

Lin Cang got up and walked to Hu Qingfeng, and said flatteringly: "The bandits in the Eastern Wilderness are seriously like this. ”

"Master Hu will also govern the Eastern Wilderness City in an orderly manner, so that the surname Bai can live and work in peace and contentment, and he admires it."

Hearing this, Hu Qingfeng's face changed slightly, and he changed the topic directly in embarrassment.

"My lord is coming to the East Wilderness City, can you give the lower officials a chance to fulfill the friendship of the landlord?"

Lin Cang said with a smile: "I have long heard that the Eastern Wilderness is the most fertile township in the Great Northern Wilderness, even if the adults don't invite me into the city, the official will have to visit it in person." ”

The corners of Hu Qingfeng's mouth rose, made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "I respectfully invite your Excellency to visit the city, and please move your face to the carriage of the lower officials." ”

Lin Cang nodded, and walked out of the camp directly.

Seeing this, Emperor Liuguang hurriedly ran over and gave Lin Cang a look uneasily.

Lin Cang said with a smile: "You and the two generals Dugu will go with this official." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Liuguang personally ordered ten recruits, and these ten recruits were all women that Lin Cang had just rescued yesterday.

Riding with the two Dugu sisters, they walked behind Lin Cang's carriage.

In order to avoid more incidents, Emperor Liuguang did not want to reveal his identity too early.

on the carriage.

Lin Cang and Hu Qingfeng sat side by side.

Hu Qingfeng lifted the curtain of the car, and his eyes fell on Emperor Liuguang, and there was always a feeling of déjà vu.

He lowered the curtain, looked at Lin Cang and said with a smile: "My lord, your female general looks a little familiar." ”

Lin Cang said directly: "Empress? ”

Hearing this, Hu Qingfeng was startled, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He looked at Lin Cang nervously, looking like he wanted to stop talking.

Lin Cang continued to laugh and said: "Her face is at least seventy percent similar to the empress, and it is also because she is valued by the empress." ”

His words were ambiguous, and Hu Qingfeng still didn't dare to let down his vigilance.

"Looking at her extravagance, I don't know which noble person it is?"

Hu Qingfeng looked at Lin Cang and didn't let go of any expression on the other side.

If there are royal relatives on this trip, then Lin Cang in front of him will be difficult to deal with.

They're going to change their plans completely.

Lin Cang smiled: "If it is really that blessed person, how can he be willing to be my deputy general?" ”

Hearing this, Hu Qingfeng nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Lin Cang's statement.

dispelled the scruples in his heart, Hu Qingfeng talked eloquently along the way.

"My lord, is it the first time you have come to the Eastern Wilderness?"

Lin Cang nodded and said with a smile: "For the first time, I heard that this is a rich town, and I have long wanted to come here to visit and relax." ”

"If you have any needs, you can tell the lower officials, and the lower officials will definitely make the adults make this trip worthwhile, and they will not miss it."

"Brother Hu, I take what I said seriously, my brother is a few years older than me, you don't need to call me an adult in the future, just call me Brother Lin."

"I've heard for a long time that the Eastern Wilderness is rich in beauties, but I don't know..."

Saying that, Lin Cang rubbed his hands very obscenely, like a corrupt official.

Hearing this, Hu Qingfeng smiled heartily, and his mind was full of the female generals beside Lin Cang, all of whom had fine skin and tender meat, which was stunning.

It is not so much a general with resolute martial arts as a vase that blows down in the wind.

For this reason, Hu Qingfeng believed in Lin Cang's absurdity a little more.

said with a smile: "Brother Lin, from now on, you will be your own brother, and the Chunfeng Building in the Eastern Wilderness will be played with you, and all of them will be recorded as your brother's account." ”

These words also brought Lin Cang's obscene laughter.

The conversation between the two was so loud that everyone outside the carriage could hear it clearly.

Emperor Liuguang frowned, and scolded secretly: "This damn eunuch looks like a corrupt official." ”

"I see that you are clearly acting in your true colors."

Soon.

The people came to the gate of the governor's house.

All the officials in the East Wilderness City stood in two rows.

Hu Qingfeng took the lead in scaring the carriage and stood with the group of officials.

There was a shout in the carriage, "All the officials of the Eastern Wilderness pay a visit to Lord Lin and welcome Lord Lin to the Eastern Wilderness." ”

When these words landed, Lin Cang lifted the curtain and slowly walked out of the carriage.

There were many onlookers around, and everyone looked at the carriage curiously, wanting to see the faces of the officials sent by the imperial court.

But the guards of the Hu family stood on both sides of the road and drove away the onlookers.

The group of people could only stop there, and left with interest, and there was the running hall where Lin Cang lived before.

The running hall just glanced at Lin Cang's back, and there was always a feeling of déjà vu.

The entrance to the Governor's Palace.

Lin Cang's gaze swept over this group of officials one by one, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said with a smile:

"This is the first time this official has come to the Eastern Wilderness to carry out a mission, and many things still depend on my colleagues."

When the ministers heard this, they said in unison: "The lower officials are willing to listen to the dispatch of the lord." ”

Lin Cang nodded, and walked towards the governor's mansion under the leadership of Hu Qingfeng.

The two sisters, Emperor Liuguang and Dugu, followed closely with ten female generals.

Outer hall.

Lin Cang sat on the main seat, Hu Qingfeng sat on his forehead, and the rest of the ministers sat in order of official positions.

"Everyone knows that this official has only one purpose for coming to the Eastern Wilderness this time, and that is to pacify the bandits."

"This is the first time this official has come to the Eastern Wilderness, and he is not very clear about the situation here, so I have to ask you to explain it clearly to me."

As he spoke, Lin Cang picked up the tea set beside him, took a sip, and then his eyes shuttled back and forth on everyone.

His face was expressionless, and his tone was so calm that it was impossible to guess what was going on in his mind.

Hu Qingfeng bowed: "Our Donghuang City involves a total of ten counties and districts, which can be roughly divided into four regions, which are under the jurisdiction of four prefects. ”

"The impression that the southern region has been plagued by bandits for many years is the most serious, and the Song Governor has also dealt with bandits a lot because of this."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Song Zhifu.

Song Zhifu instructed, hurriedly stepped forward to bow, and said respectfully: "My lord, the chief of the lower official mansion is loose." ”

"Three months ago, our southern part was attacked by bandits, and there were countless casualties. The details have been reported to the court. ”

Lin Cang's eyes fell on Song Changsong, who looked like Song Hongtao, the second master of the Song family.

His face was expressionless, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where is the stronghold of the bandits?" And how many people? Who are the chiefs and what are they best at fighting? ”

Song Changsong hurriedly replied: "In Longhu Mountain, there are about 100,000 horses, and the leader is Cao Dongyang. ”

"Most of them are people with strong martial arts, and their combat style is not clear, and most of them fight directly and are strong."

Hearing this, Lin Cang nodded, what Song Changsong said was similar to what he had investigated.

Obviously, Song Changsong did not lie to himself.

But the people in the inn said that the Cao family was in cahoots with the bandits, which also made Lin Cang suspicious.

Lin Cang looked at Song Changsong and said softly: "The prefect of Song is magnificent, and his family must be well-off. ”

Hearing this, Song Changsong was stunned, but he didn't expect Lin Cang to say this.

He replied a little confused: "Xiaguan's family is doing business, and it is difficult for a small family to get into the elegant hall. ”

When these words landed, Lin Cang let out a hearty smile.

He looked at Song Changsong meaningfully, and said with a smile: "The Song family in the Eastern Wilderness is a famous merchant family in Kyushu, and the Song prefect is too modest. ”

Just when Song Changsong didn't think about how to reply.

Lin Cang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he smiled with a smile: "This official has heard a lot of interesting things along the way. ”

"I heard that the Song family and the bandits are secretly colluding and colluding, but is there such a thing?"

When these words landed, the faces of the audience changed dramatically.

Song Changsong's face turned pale and he knelt directly to the ground, and said in a choked voice: "My lord, it's definitely a rumor." ”

"Our Song family's business has become bigger and bigger over the years, and many businessmen are jealous of the Song family's prosperity, and they can't do anything about the Song family, so they slander the Song family."

"Adults are clear, don't be deceived by villains."

Song Changsong's tone was firm, and he directly kowtowed to Lin Cang after speaking.

Lin Cang took another sip of tea and said with a faint smile: "Oh, I'm just gossiping with you, what are you nervous about?" ”

"That Cao Dongyang's wife, the Song family, has always claimed to be the eldest lady of your Song family, is this also a rumor made by a villain?"

Hearing this, Song Changsong's face turned pale, and a lot of cold sweat broke out all over his body.

He swallowed, took a deep breath, and said strongly, calmly, "Big... My lord, my sister is..."

Seeing this, Governor Hu said directly: "Their Song family is just a little daughter, how can she become Cao Dongyang's wife before she is married." ”

Song Changsong hurriedly said: "That's right, Xiaguan doesn't have a sister at all, don't be too dazzling." ”

Lin Cang looked at the two of them as usual, and said with a smile: "This official is just curious, the Eastern Wilderness has been harassed by bandits for many years, and the city defense will never be relaxed. ”

"The southern part of the Eastern Wilderness is not the closest place to the edge of the city, how did those bandits enter the southern area unimpeded?"

Now, it was Governor Hu's turn to choke, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "My lord, Xia Guan has always suspected that someone is in harmony with the bandits, and the Liu family in the Eastern Wilderness is the inside." ”

Lin Cang looked at Hu Qingfeng with cold eyes, waiting for him to continue to talk nonsense.

He vividly remembered his time at the inn.

In the mouth of that group of strong men: The Liu family in the Eastern Wilderness is the only family that has been wiped out in order to resist the bandits.

"After the matter was revealed, the people hated the Liu family to the core, and united with the people in the rivers and lakes to directly destroy the Liu family."

Lin Cang chuckled, "Brother Hu, the head of the Liu family is General Liu, he is the empress's mentor, how could he collude with bandits?" ”

Quiet!

Quiet needle drops can be heard.

Hu Qingfeng's face was like earth, he frowned embarrassedly, and said hesitantly: "Old General Liu has long passed away, and it is his descendants who are guilty of evil..."

Lin Cang pretended to be suddenly enlightened, nodded and smiled: "I see, it's really unfortunate for the family." ”

Seeing that Lin Cang had finally given up, Hu Qingfeng was already present, and the ministers were all relieved.

Hu Qingfeng got up and said, "My lord, the house has prepared a reception banquet for the adults, and I invite the adults to move." ”

Lin Cang nodded and smiled: "Our relationship, if you call it an adult, I won't go." ”

Hu Qingfeng said embarrassedly: "Then please ask Brother Lin to give him a face." ”

Lin Cang nodded, "That's right." ”

The crowd came to the dining hall.

The huge table was already full of food and drink.

After everyone took their seats, Lin Cang was still sitting in the main seat.

Hu Qingfeng raised his wine glass and smiled at everyone: "Come, let's give Lord Lin a glass." ”

Hearing this, the ministers stood up one after another and toasted to Lin Cang.

Lin Cang smiled and took a drink.

Di Liuguang, who was sitting in the corner, drank it in a chic manner.

But Dugu Xingzhou was closely watched by Dugu Xingfan, so he could only drink without touching it, watching them drink happily.

Dugu Xingfan's eyes were like torches, staring at every move of everyone present.

After a few staggered discussions, Lin Cang became familiar with this group of people.

Under the influence of alcohol, this group of people is even more indifferent to talking.

Lin Cang saluted Governor Hu with another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, my brother brought five hundred soldiers and horses this time. ”

"I can't fight against hundreds of thousands at all, if I really send troops to suppress the bandits, I will simply send them to death."

Hu Qingfeng's face was flushed, and he smiled with a little drunkenness: "Brother, let's just not send troops, how good it is to act when the opportunity arises." ”
