The happy life of a prodigal

After Zhou Chen listened, he nodded in satisfaction.

Although 30 people are not many, they are also a force.

The soldiers who can escape are not too weak in strength, nor too weak in physique. After training, they can still be thrown up to fight with pirates.

The soldiers of Jinzhou Weisuo, the guards of Jinzhou Fucheng, plus the soldiers in the military camp, should be able to fight the pirates.

The problem is that those pirates are elusive, and they are good at water warfare. Therefore, they need a general who is good at water warfare.

This is another hassle.

Thinking of this, the prefect of Jinzhou frowned, thinking again, and even completely forgot the existence of Zhou Chen.

It can be seen how anxious the prefect of Jinzhou is about the pirate haunting.

Zhou Chen didn't know about the pirates, seeing the expression on the prefect of Jinzhou, he thought it was the prefect who was dissatisfied with him.

After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to confess leniently, and said, "Master Zhifu, actually...actually...actually, I have captured 31 people in total, but I met an adult on the way, and that adult explain......"

Zhou Chen told Fang Xiu how he met that day, what Fang Xiu ordered, his judgment on Fang Xiu's identity, and Fang Xiu's purpose for coming to Jinzhou Mansion.

After hearing this, the prefect of Jinzhou frowned even tighter, and asked, "You just said, how does the young man who claims to be the official look like?"

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment, and then described: "I don't have much knowledge in my humble job, and I haven't seen many young masters Pian Pian, but that lord is indeed a tall and handsome man, who looks suave and suave, not like a martial artist."

This sounds nice, but it actually means that although Fang Xiu is good-looking, he looks a little frivolous, like a dude.

When the prefect of Jinzhou heard this, his expression changed a little.

Combined with some rumors that have recently spread here from Kyoto Prefecture.

For example, An Guogong wants to recruit troops vigorously, wipe out pirates, and then go south to Nanyang to repel those barbarians.

Another example is that An Guogong wants to abolish the military system, cancel the garrison status of the garrisons, and re-form a new army. All the configurations are all in accordance with the Shenji Battalion...

In this land of Gyeonggi, the military settlement closest to Kyoto Prefecture is the military settlement of Jinzhou Prefecture.

in this case......

That young man is most likely the special envoy sent by An Guogong!

The prefect of Jinzhou thought of this, his eyes lit up, and he thought: An Guogong has sent someone here, there is a solution to the problem of pirates!

He looked at Zhou Chen, and asked again: "Where is that adult, what can I tell you?"

Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "The adult's guard gave Beizhi an address, and told him to look for him after the matter of the black household has been dealt with, and then lead the way to the nearby military camp."

Sure enough!

That special envoy came here for the military settlement!

Thinking of this, the prefect of Jinzhou got up excitedly and paced around the room, wishing he could run over to see the lord right now.

But after calming down.

However, he felt that the adult did not come to find him, so he must have his own reasons.

He went to see that lord rashly, if he disturbed that lord's plan, he couldn't bear it!

After struggling for a while, he finally made a decision.

"Give me the address of the lord. After a while, the matter of the black household will be finished. I will go with you to meet the lord."

When Zhou Chen heard this, he nodded heavily, but he was a little worried in his heart.

If my judgment is wrong, wouldn't it be over?

After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, "My lord, what should I do with that black household Zhao Feng?"

"What Zhao Feng?" The prefect of Jinzhou was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Chen replied, "It's the black household that my lord wants to leave."

"Oh..." The prefect of Jinzhou nodded suddenly, waved his hand and said: "Since that lord is interested, it is also a good thing for that black household to follow that lord.

Although the military settlement is the system of the ancestors..."

At this point, the voice stopped abruptly.

Looking at Zhou Chen, he waved his hands and said, "If there is nothing wrong, then step back."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhou Chen also wanted to hear the magistrate's opinion on the military system, but he didn't expect the magistrate to stop talking after half a sentence, so he saluted and turned to leave.

The prefect of Jinzhou watched Zhou Chen's back leave the house, but sighed.

He didn't say the latter, because in his position, he must be cautious about everything.

Although he was dismissive of this military system, thinking that both fertile land and talents were wasted, he couldn't say that in front of others.

If it spreads to other people's ears, it will inevitably cause some controversy.

Now I only hope that An Guogong can solve the problem left by his ancestors smoothly...

Chapter 997

In Jinzhou Prefecture, somewhere in a large courtyard.

Although it was late at night, I could still hear some rustling noises, but I didn't know where they came from.

Although Fang Xiu and these guards live in the same place, they are still separated from each other.

The yard in front was relatively large, and it was reserved for the guards and that Zhao Feng.

There is a long corridor in the middle. Although the area behind the courtyard is relatively small, the environment is better, with more lush flowers and trees. There are only two people living there, Fang Xiu and his personal maid, Xiu'er.

The rustling sounds seemed to come from the front yard.

Fang Xiu's guards are all Fang Mansion's guards, some are the old guards left over from the original Anping Bo Mansion, and some are new guards trained by Fang Xiu himself. They are all very powerful.

The slightest disturbance can arouse their vigilance.

There was another sound of unknown origin.

Several guards lay on the bed, frowning tightly, making no sound, trying to hear where the sound came from.

woohoo-

A burst of wind sounded, giving people a creepy feeling.

A younger guard turned pale when he heard the voice, and said in a trembling voice, "What's going on here? Could it be that the house is haunted by ghosts?"

Before they moved into this mansion, they checked it repeatedly. There was no problem, let alone an ambush, but the movement was very real.

But if someone enters the front door, or someone climbs over the wall, unless it is a half-step master-level master, it is impossible to deceive the ears of so many of them.

Therefore, this movement can only be generated inside the yard.

All of them are here, no one is moving, so where is this sound coming from?

Apparently more than one person had the same idea as the young guard.

As soon as the word "haunted" was uttered, the whole room became silent for a moment. At this moment, even if a needle fell on the ground, it could be heard clearly.

Another older guard said angrily: "What are you talking about! Where did the ghost come from in this world, it's just that the wind is a little bit stronger today! Don't think about it, sleep!"

After finishing speaking, he covered himself with a quilt and tried not to listen to the movement outside.

Seeing this scene, the other guards looked at each other, and they could more or less see some fear in each other's eyes.

Their faces were pale, and they forced themselves not to think wildly, they were all covered with quilts.

But after being blinded for a while, he remembered his responsibilities and had to pay attention to the movement outside.

There is no way, if someone suddenly breaks in at this time, intending to assassinate An Guogong, how can they hear it under the quilt?

However, that unknown sound came to the ears again.

woohoo-

It sounds like wind, but it can be clearly heard that it is not wind.

What is it!

The guards dared not close their eyes.

I am afraid that if I close my eyes and open them again, something extraordinary will appear in front of my eyes.

Some people even heard the legend of the female ghost in white in Gujing Street.

Although it was later confirmed that it was false, who would know!

It stands to reason that warriors like them are the ones who least believe in ghosts and gods.

However, just because they didn't believe in ghosts and gods, they really couldn't figure out where the movement came from.

So more fear.

woohoo-

The wind was getting louder and louder, and the sound of something rubbing against each other could be vaguely heard, like two stones, and then the sound of people breathing could be vaguely heard.

This......

Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes became different.

Could it be that there are ghosts! ?

Their doubts had not been dispelled when they suddenly heard a voice from beside them.

"Why is there one person missing!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked in their hearts, and looked around in a hurry.

really!

One less person!

How could this be, who is missing?

For a moment, everyone felt more fear in their hearts.

A strange atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire room.

It was the old guard who stood up at the critical moment, lifted the quilt, and cursed: "Damn it, what the hell is it, I want to go out and have a look!"

"Hey, Old Liu, don't be impulsive!"

"Old Liu!"

Everyone else stopped in a low voice.

The old guard who was called Lao Liu didn't care, pushed open the door and walked out.

Then there was a silence...

Everyone in the room held their breath nervously.

Old Liu stood outside the house, looking at the black shadow in front of him, he also held his breath.

At this moment, as a second-rate expert, he actually felt his whole body shudder, and his whole body became tense.

"Who are you?"

Old Liu summoned up his courage, lowered his voice, and asked the black shadow.

The black figure turned around slowly.

By the moonlight, Lao Liu finally saw the shadow's face clearly.

His eyes widened subconsciously, with an expression of disbelief on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "It turned out to be you!"

not good!

There is a situation!

The other guards have been paying attention to the situation outside, and when they heard Lao Liu say that it was you, they all realized that something was wrong.

Quickly picked up the saber and rushed out of the room.

Then they saw a scene that shocked them.

Zhao Feng, who had just joined the guard camp, was the fleeing soldier. At this moment, his upper body was shirtless, standing where he was, not knowing what to do.

And Lao Liu stood not far away, staring at him, frowning.
