"Don't postpone it, in our Purple Mist Villa, only look at ability, not qualifications, looking at the entire Purple Mist Villa, only you have the experience of commanding and training troops, so this position of commander belongs to you. Luo Chen smiled.

When Wang Bao heard this, he didn't postpone it anymore, and knelt down on one knee again: "Young master, don't worry, your subordinates will definitely live up to the trust!"

Luo Chen nodded, and continued: "Lige will serve as your deputy, you have to teach him how to lead troops and train soldiers." ”

"Yes, young master, rest assured, his subordinates will teach him with heart. Wang Bao responded.

The next morning, on the martial arts training ground in the inner courtyard, 101 Purple Mist Guards patted the neat square, and the extra one was Li Hu who was arranged by Luo Chen.

Wang Bao first divided the 101 people into a team, ten people for a team, and divided it into ten teams. Then let them each elect their own team leader, Li Hu unexpectedly became the team leader of his team with third-rate mid-term strength.

After the team was selected, Wang Bao asked their respective team members to be together in the future, whether it was eating, sleeping, or training.

Then, Luo Chen, Lige and Wang Bao began to distribute weapons and equipment to the Ziwu Guard, each with a bow and arrow, a spear, a standard horizontal knife and a dagger.

These weapons are all forged from the Purple Mist Villa Foundry Hall, not to mention the bow and arrow, the barrel of each spear is forged with the special hundred steel of the Purple Mist Villa, and the spear head, horizontal knife and dagger are added with dark iron.

The weapons on each of these people are worth nearly a thousand taels of silver, but fortunately, most of the 100 steels in this are refined by the Purple Mist Villa itself, and there is only one cost price, otherwise, the entire Purple Mist Villa will not be able to afford such a large expense.

After the weapons were distributed, Wang Bao gave an order, and all the Purple Mist Guards, including him and Lige, all ran towards Daheng Mountain, where they would conduct training for half a month.

Standing on the empty martial arts training ground, looking at the Purple Mist Guard in the distance, Luo Chen smiled hopefully, he believed that one day, the Purple Mist Guard would become the mainstay of the Purple Mist Villa and the weapon of the Purple Mist Villa.

After standing on the martial arts training ground for a while, Luo Chen went to the General Affairs Hall to find Luo Tianhe.

There are still three days, this month is coming to an end, a new January is coming, the new system of Purple Mist Mountain Villa is about to be implemented, and they still have a lot of things to do.

General Palace, office room.

Luo Tianhe, Luo Chen, and Litian were discussing things, when suddenly, a disciple of the gate ran over: "Shanzhuang, Zhou Song of Ningshui County has come to visit." ”

"Zhou Song, what is he doing here? Our villa doesn't seem to have any contact with the government, right?" said Litian in confusion.

"Could it be that the disturbance I made at Wuling Pass was too big, so that the imperial court targeted us, and specially sent Zhou Song over to find out the truth?" Luo Chen said.

"It's a matter of time before you get an eye on us, but you've only been back for more than half a month, Wu Lingguan sent the news back to the imperial court, and the imperial court found us again, but it wasn't so fast, it should be something else. ”

After Luo Tianhe finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then said: "Don't guess, just know when you see him." ”

"Go and invite him to the parlour. Luo Tianhe said to the disciple at the door.

"Yes, Master!" the disciple replied.

"Let's go! Let's go meet this Zhou County Commander. ”

Luo Tianhe said, and took the lead out of the office room, followed by Luo Chen and Litian.

When the three of them arrived at the meeting room, there were two people sitting in the meeting room, and several soldiers were standing behind them.

"Haha! Why did Lord Zhou have time to come to my small temple today?" Luo Tianhe smiled at Zhou Song as soon as he entered the door,

Seeing the master, Zhou Song hurriedly got up and saluted: "Haha! If Lord Luozhuang is a small temple, this official will be a grass house." ”

Luo Tianhe smiled, and looked at the white clothes beside Zhou Song again: "Presumably this is the new county lieutenant of Ningshui County, Lord Bai in white clothes, right?"

"Haha! Lord Luozhuang has fiery eyes, this is the new county lieutenant of our county, Lord Bai, and he is also the eight-rank sword guard of the six doors of the imperial court. Zhou Song introduced.

"Bai Yi has seen Lord Luo. The white cloth arched his hand towards Luo Tianhe.

"Lord Bai is polite, please take a seat, Lord Zhou, please also take a seat. ”

Although Luo Tianhe didn't care about Bai Yi's identity, Luo Tianhe was still extremely polite to such a young second-rate martial artist.

After everyone sat down, Zhou Song looked at Luo Chen and praised:

"This should be the little son of the owner of Luo Zhuang, right? Sure enough, he is young and promising, he has already broken through to the third-rate realm at such an age, and it must not take long to reach the middle of the third-rate realm!"

Luo Chen smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you, Lord Zhou, thanks to your auspicious words." ”

Looking at Luo Chen, who was not shocked by honor and disgrace, and was young and old, Zhou Song looked at Luo Tianhe with envy:

"The owner of Luozhuang is so blessed! There is such a good child, this county heard that the owner of Luozhuang also has a big son, who is also a dragon and phoenix among the people, why don't you see it today?"

"Haha! I'm out of the house, and Lord Zhou has a good reputation, and they are two unsuccessful boys. ”

"Lord Luo is too modest. ”

Zhou Song squinted and smiled, and then picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

Seeing this, Luo Tianhe didn't want to talk to Zhou Song anymore, so he asked directly: "Lord Zhou came over today, I don't know what happened?"

Putting down the teacup, Zhou Song said with a smile: "Haha! This county came here today to spread the will of the imperial court and say hello to the lord of Luozhuang." ”

"Will?"

Luo Tianhe asked suspiciously, "I don't know what Lord Zhou means by this?"

Luo Chen and Litian glanced at each other, and also looked at Zhou Song with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to solve his puzzles.

Zhou Song put away his smile, cleared his throat, and said:

"In recent years, Ziwu Mountain Villa has cleared out many mountain bandits, saved the people from bandits, and ensured the peace of my Ningshui County. ”

After Zhou Song finished speaking, he took a brocade box from the hands of the soldiers behind him, took out a bright yellow holy decree from it and handed it to Luo Tianhe.

Luo Tianhe looked at the holy decree handed over by Zhou Song, and couldn't figure out the intention of the imperial court for a while. If it is said that the merit of rewarding and suppressing bandits, but it has been so long, and it should have been rewarded a long time ago, how could it have been delayed until now?

Moreover, this holy decree is not so easy to receive, once you take the holy decree and become the Marquis of Ning Shui of the imperial court, even if you have a connection with the imperial court, you have to take into account the ideas of the imperial court when you do many things. If the imperial court finds the Purple Mist Villa for something, the Purple Mist Villa is not easy to shirk.

Although with the name of Ning Shuihou, he can get some money, and many official things will be much easier, but this title is just a false name, and he has no substantive rights, and Luo Tianhe doesn't want to have too much entanglement with the imperial court.

"Lord Luo, do you see this holy decree?"

Zhou Song saw that Luo Tianhe was silent in thought, and raised the holy decree in his hand.
