In the secluded wasteland, a group of hundreds of people hurried along.

Walking at the front of the team were Xu Hongyu and Chen Mu, while Xiaohe walked behind the right, observing the terrain in front of the right, while occasionally quietly glancing at Xu Hongyu and Chen Mu.

In the rear are some other demon slaying division green guards and black-clothed guards, mixed with some Yu family's people, and then there are the elite swordsmen of the Yu family, which are actually the cultivated courtyards, and the last is a group of errand soldiers transferred from the county government, although these errand soldiers have little ability to fight monsters, but they need manpower to deliver news and some other things.

"Brother Ding, that Chen ...... It's too close to Miss Xu. ”

Walking in the second echelon of the team, among the remaining horses and demon slaying figures, a black-clothed guard looked at the backs of Xu Hongyu and Chen Mu in front of him, and couldn't help whispering to a green-clothed guard next to him.

Ding He frowned and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense! ”

said.

He also took a deep look at Chen Mu's back, and said slowly: "Lord Chen is a cronie of Miss Xu, and he also has a horizontal body, which is different from you and me. ”

The black-clothed guard Wu Pu whispered: "What's the difference, we are all people with foreign surnames, and we are not from the Yu family, then Chen Mu also entered the level of Yi Jin not long ago, Brother Ding, you have already become Yi Jin, he has a horizontal body, how can you compare with Brother Ding, but the eldest lady values him so much, maybe we have to listen to him." ”

There was a hint of jealousy in his tone.

If it was the Yu family's own family, it would be fine if they were so close to Xu Hongyu, or they were both white-clothed guards, but Chen Mu was only a Tsing Yiwei, but he was able to walk at the forefront of the team, together with Xu Hongyu, and the two of them talked about something from time to time while walking, and they didn't look like subordinates and bosses, and they were a little too close.

Hearing Wu Pu's words, Ding He didn't respond, but he only glanced at Chen Mu deeply, he knew that Chen Mu was not a simple person who stepped into the realm of Yijin with a horizontal body, he had much more potential than him, and it was normal for Xu Hongyu to value him, but at this time, looking at Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu, the kind of appearance that did not look like a subordinate boss, it was inevitable that he had some thoughts in his heart.

Could it be that Xu Hongyu not only values Chen Mu, but also takes a fancy to him?

That's a little ......

He knew that Xu Hongyu was unmarried, as a descendant of the Yu family, one of the almost highest-ranking among the younger generation, if Chen Mu could climb the dragon and the phoenix, it would undoubtedly be a step to the sky.

It's just that even if Chen Mu took advantage of Xu Hongyu's trust and coaxed Xu Hongyu with clever words, I am afraid that the Yu family will not accept it, after all, Xu Hongyu's status is far from being comparable to the side children of the Yu family, even in the lineage, the position is also extremely high, and it is destined to be impossible to walk with ordinary people.

"The eldest lady has her own judgment of the eldest lady, and it is not our turn to point fingers, so don't talk about it anymore."

Ding He's eyes flickered a few times, but he spoke in a deep voice to Wu Pu next to him.

Wu Pu saw that Ding He was silent, and he could only respond helplessly, in fact, he was a black-clothed guard, and he was indeed one level lower in front of Chen Mu, he just felt that since Chen Mu could do it, why couldn't Ding He, if Ding He could also get Xu Hongyu's trust and even fancy him, then with the relationship between him and Ding He who grew up, his status could also rise.

……

Chen Mu walked next to Xu Hongyu and was discussing with Xu Hongyu about the garrison of Donghong.

He also noticed that there were some eyes cast from the rear, some kept looking, and some were slightly jealous and dissatisfied, but this was normal, after all, he was only as a Tsing Yi Wei now, but he walked at the front of the team and walked with Xu Hongyu, attracting some eyes to criticize it, and he didn't care about anything, just continued to discuss with Xu Hongyu.

Xu Hongyu is not good at intrigue with people, conspiracy and secret fighting, but she has some opinions on arranging troops and the like, plus she has more experience in demon hunting, and has participated in this kind of demon chaos more than once, and many of the ideas she said made Chen Mu nod in his heart, saying that it was a discussion, but in fact, it was more that he listened to Xu Hongyu's arrangement and occasionally made a few suggestions.

Chen Mu has risen all the way from the bottom to today, in fact, he also has a sense of arrogance in his heart, but he will not be complacent because of this, for unfamiliar and unfamiliar things, he has never been overly point-in-point, just like in the Wutong Mission, he just carried out the task, cooperated with the General Division, and rescued the victims, and never tried to change the ecology of the entire Wutong in the past.

First, the status has not reached such a height, the entire Nancheng District is integrated, it is impossible to take out a single piece of the world and turn it into another world at once, and secondly, in the case of not knowing much and not knowing enough widely, indiscriminate intervention may create a mess, after all, it is one thing to quell chaos, and governance is another.

It's like dealing with demon chaos.

The strategy is not to send troops to garrison Donghong Township and nearby villages, so that even if there are thousands of soldiers and horses, they can't take care of it, after all, the map of this world is far larger than those in Chen Mu's previous life, and a Donghong Township covers an area of hundreds of miles, but this nearly 100-mile area, not all places are inhabited.

Xu Hongyu still used the same method as the Yu family, finding some more critical locations outside the inhabited villages, drawing lines or points, and then dividing hundreds of people into groups of three or two, and going to those places to inspect and explore.

If there are monsters infested, the number is small and not strong, you can dispose of it yourself.

If the number is large or the level is high, then retreat immediately, send the news to the public, and send men and horses to meet it.

The utensils carried by these people are also very knowledgeable, there are special incense that can cover the smell, easy to hide themselves, and can make it difficult for monsters to pay attention to, and there are also 'whistles' that can report the news layer by layer over a long distance, like fireworks, the sound can be transmitted for ten miles, so it can be connected and passed layer by layer.

I know a lot less about these Chen Mu, and when I learned them from Xu Hongyu one by one, I couldn't help but sigh that no matter what kind of environment it is, the human race can always create a variety of coping strategies according to the environment.

Perhaps in a very ancient era, when the martial arts had not yet reached the sky, it was with these wisdoms that survived in the cracks, and finally occupied this mountain and river step by step, dominating the world, and fighting those terrifying monsters that once dominated the mountains and rivers gradually declined, and now they can only hide in various deep mountains and poisonous swamps.

Soon.

The group arrived at the township pavilion in Donghong Township.

It is also a large settlement, and even in terms of size and housing clusters, it seems to be larger than the county capital, the only difference is that there are no towering walls here, and it cannot resist the invasion of monsters.

There are chiefs in the township, and there are also officials and messengers, and there are a lot of them, at this time, they are already waiting for the arrival of the demon slaying division, and when Chen Mu and his party arrive, the chief of Donghong Township and others can't wait to greet them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in, I have asked people to prepare a banquet and wash the dust for your lords."

The chief saluted Xu Hongyu, Chen Mu and the others, and smiled with him.

Xu Hongyu said with a cold expression: "There is no need for a banquet, everything is simple, from now on, everything in Donghong Township will obey my dispatch, and the officials and officials will be counted and reported as soon as possible." ”

With experience as the chief secretary of Nancheng District, Xu Hongyu is familiar with controlling a place.

"Yes, yes."

The lieutenant commander immediately responded and ordered the subordinates next to him to do it immediately.

At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Xu Hongyu, and then at Chen Mu next to him, his expression couldn't help but be slightly nervous, mainly because the adults who came from the Demon Slayer Division this time looked a little too young.

Although he, as the head of a township, knows very well that the identities of Baiyi Wei and Qingyi Wei must have corresponding strength, but to deal with the demon chaos in one place, various personnel scheduling and experience are also very important, and often a single order may reduce many losses.

But.

The lieutenant governor quickly breathed a sigh of relief, because after Xu Hongyu arrived at the Li Mansion of the Township Pavilion, he directly began to ask him about the situation in Donghong, whether there were any discrepancies with the map at present, and some other arrangements and matters.

As long as the adults who slay the demon division are not the type of young and arrogant, self-serving, and don't listen to advice, then there is nothing, after all, there is no problem in terms of strength, and strategies can be discussed with each other.

in the council hall.

Xu Hongyu, Chen Mu, Li Chang and Xiaohe gathered around the map and discussed the designated strategy with each other, which was very harmonious.

However, there was quite a bit of chaos outside, some of the Tsing Yi guards of the Demon Slaying Division and the people and horses of the Yu family were all looking at the direction of the council hall and complaining, Xiaohe was Xu Hongyu's personal maid, even if Chen Mu was the same Tsing Yi Wei as them, he also entered the council hall, which was not quite the same as walking with Xu Hongyu before, and it was almost obvious that he was sitting in the middle of the throne.

Not only Wu Pudinghe and others, but even some of the Yu family's collateral occasionally frowned, after all, they were still surnamed Yu, and they all had to wait outside to listen to orders.

After a while.

The captain went out and ordered the villagers to go.

There were only three people left in the council hall, Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu.

"Both of us are sitting in the township, some of them are too wasteful of troops, there will be no problem with you sitting in the township, I will take a few people to inspect the area of the wasteland mountain later, what do you think?"

Xu Hongyu looked at Chen Mu and asked.

Chen Mu looked at the map, thought for a while, and said: "No, it's still up to you to sit in the township, after all, I'm just a Tsing Yi guard, and it's inconvenient to dispatch people, not to mention that I'm not familiar with the demon chaos, and it should have been you sitting in the township to react in the middle, and the wasteland mountain area will be handed over to me, and if there are any problems in other directions, I will be able to arrive soon." ”

Although it is easy to settle the micro-words of those people outside, it is enough to show a little strength, but after Chen Mu watched Xu Hongyu's whole process scheduling, he felt that it was most appropriate for her to be in the center.

Moreover.

The township is the center of Donghong, and it is also the safest place to sit here.

In comparison, the vicinity of Wasteland Mountain is more dangerous, it is a relatively deserted place on weekdays, and the area of Wasteland Mountain is also at the boundary between Anyu and Huaiyu counties.
