Chapter 135 The Governor's Mansion

Long Chen sat cross-legged in the military tent, and at the same time he used the Yin cultivation method and the Hundred Birds to Pay the Phoenix. The martial energy in his body gathered at the Mingmen, and then slowly divided a trace of the purest martial energy to condense in the Dantian.

This is the introduction that Di Luoxi said, the Yanghuo that is necessary to break through the realm of Emperor Wu.

Once the yang fire condenses to a certain level, it can break through.

However, Long Chen's current identity is still a eunuch. If he breaks through the realm of Emperor Wu, he will definitely be suspected.

The eunuch's identity is really a double-edged sword. It not only gives Long Chen the benefit of doing whatever he wants in the harem, but also requires Long Chen to maintain the eunuch's character at any time.

"Sir, Chen Zu, the governor of Qianjiang County, asked for a visit."

Outside the tent, Zhang Qian shouted, Long Chen slowly opened his eyes, calmed down his martial spirit, stood up and left the military tent, and saw the governor Chen Zu waiting outside the tent with some officials and troops.

"Chen Zu, the governor of Qianjiang County, has met the imperial envoy, Lord Long."

Chen Zu has a tall figure, a round face and a big nose, a pair of wind-catching ears, and a beard on his mouth.

Behind him was an official in armor, who seemed to be Sima of Qianjiang County.

Not far away are about 300 soldiers.

Long Chen had never seen Chen Zu, so he didn't know the truth, and Zhang Qian and the others didn't know it either.

It was too hasty before departure and I didn't ask about the information about Qianjiang County officials, but no one expected that the governor would collude with the pirates.

"I heard that the governor Chen was well-managed and that when the pirates were rampant, Qianjiang County could be safe. You have made great contributions and I will definitely submit a memorial."

Chen Zu bowed and said, "How dare the officials? They are all their duties."

"Please enter the city, the official has prepared a welcome banquet."

Long Chen glanced at the soldiers behind him and said, "The army entered the city and was afraid of disturbing the people, so we are temporarily stationed outside the city."

Chen Zu looked embarrassed and said, "If the lord doesn't enter the city, how can the subordinate officials fulfill their friendship as a landlord?"

Long Chen smiled and said, "They are stationed here, so of course I have to go to the city to take a look. Everyone says this is a prosperous place, so how can I come here for nothing."

Only then did Chen Zu get happy and bowed: "It's so great, please get on the horse."

Zhang Qian pulled Long Chen's clothes behind her back, and Long Chen said, "You and Captain Wu will go with me, General Dugu will be stationed here."

Zhang Qian nodded: "Okay."

Wu Jian ordered more than a dozen cavalrymen. These people were brought by him from the Cavalry Camp, not Dugu Jiali's subordinates.

The empress asked Wu Jian to train cavalry outside the city, and Wu Jian also trained some of his own good players.

"Please, Governor Chen."

Long Chen got on the horse, Zhang Qian and Wu Jian followed, thirteen cavalry guards, and governor Chen Zu led the way, and slowly headed towards Qianjiang County.

Sima Dou Yufei from Qianjiang County was behind with his soldiers. His eyes looked at Long Chen and Zhang Qian. He always felt like he had seen it, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

In the military tent, Wu Xiangyun retracted her head, her face was gloomy and clear. The scars on her face, feet, and back had already begun to scab.

The effect of fish oil is magical, the wound is repaired quickly and there are no scars left.

Long Chen walked away, and Dugu Jiali ordered the army to prepare for combat at any time. Seeing that the army was really nervous, Wu Xiangyun shrank and thought for a while, then lay back to rest.

Long Chen rode on the horse, and Chen Zu led the way to accompany him, chatting while walking.

"Have Lord Long been to Qianjiang?"

"The first time I came here, I heard that it was prosperous and there were many good things. I was about to open my eyes."

"Mr. Long wants to see and what he wants, even if he tells the lower official, he must get the things over."

"How can you be so embarrassed? Hahaha, I heard that there are many beauties here."

Long Chen looked like a corrupt official. When Chen Zu heard Long Chen talk about a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Qian and smiled: "I heard that Lord Long is a romantic talent. The beauties here are as gentle as water. We must find some for Lord Long."

Long Chen laughed and said, "You are polite, you like water."

Zhang Qian didn't say anything, but she was complaining in her heart: pretending to be corrupt officials like this, she is playing the role of her true nature.

When we arrived outside the Xicheng Gate, the soldiers and the people welcomed each other in the street, and there were soldiers on the city, which looked very festive.

At the city gate, the soldier who asked Long Chen for money yesterday stood respectfully.

After entering the city, walking through the streets, and reaching the gate of the governor's mansion, officials from the governor's mansion lined up to greet him.

Governor Chen Zu dismounted and led all the officials to pay their respects.

Long Chen got off his horse, and the governor Chen Zu shouted: "The emperor's imperial envoy, the Minister of Revenue of the Ministry of Works and the Chief Executive of the Harem, Lord Long Chengen Long, arrived!"

Officials from the governor's office all bowed: "Goodbye to the Lord."

There were many pedestrians on the street watching the fun, among which there was a waiter in the inn. He stretched his neck and looked around, and always felt that the imperial envoy looked familiar.

The yamen runners in the governor's house took water and fire sticks to disperse the pedestrians.

"This is the county magistrate Song Tongyang, this is Sima Dou Yufei, this is the chief clerk Tao Zhigang, this is the army Cai Xinqiao..."

The governor Chen Zu introduced the officials of the governor's office one by one. Long Chen glanced at it and found that these people were of different height, fat and thin, but they were all agile.

"The emperor ordered me to go to Qianjiang County to pacify the enemy, and I will rely on you."

"I wish to listen to the Lord's orders."

Chen Zu led Long Chen into the governor's mansion, Zhang Qian and Wu Jian followed closely, and thirteen cavalry guards were always following behind.

After entering the main hall, Long Chen sat at the head, Chen Zu was in the side position, and other officials stood.

"Everyone, the purpose of this visit is very clear, which is to quell the pirates."

"I have been in the capital and don't know much about the situation here. Please explain it to the governor Chen."

The governor Chen Zu walked out and respectfully said, "Sir, our Qianjiang County has five counties under its jurisdiction. These five counties are all located in the sea and have been harassed by pirates."

"Some time ago, Zhenhai County was even captured by pirates, the county magistrate was killed, and the subordinate officials were incompetent and could not be wiped out, so he asked the emperor to send troops."

Long Chen asked: "How many pirates are there, and where are they entrenched? How is Zhenhai County now?"

Chen Zu replied: "There are about 100,000 pirates, entrenched on the Guidao, and Zhenhai County is still occupied by pirates."

Long Chen asked again: "Who is the leader of the pirates? How are they fighting?"

Chen Zu replied: "The leader is named Mendoro, and his combat method... basically, he goes ashore by boat and uses long swords more often."

What Chen Zu said was similar to the information Long Chen had read before, and he did not find any deception.

Since the waiter said that Chen Zu colluded with the pirates, Long Chen had always had a doubt: Since Chen Zu colluded with the pirates, why did he still report to the empress and ask the court to send troops to kill the pirates?

Is it because of the big deal? The matter can't be hidden?

Long Chen looked at Chen Zu, then looked at other officials, and asked, "I heard that many of these pirates are bandits from the Great Zhou. They plundered under the banner of pirates. Is this true?"

Chen Zu's face changed suddenly, and the officials in the hall also changed their faces.

"Sir, these are all rumors, and there is no such thing."

"Those pirates are thieves from the sea country in the east. They came to us to rob, and no one in the local area participated."

Chen Zu said it very confidently.

Long Chen looked at Chen Zu quietly and asked again: "What's wrong with the Wu family in Zhenhai County?"
