Husband is extremely regent

The common people knew that the boat that drove away was coming back, and the Lanzhou wharf was overcrowded.

Fortunately, the government received the news and sent someone to help in time, so everyone's things were distributed back to everyone's hands smoothly.

The joy of regaining the lost, too much gratitude can not be said, people can only keep bowing their hands to Chen Hanting to thank him.

Chen Hanting didn't dare to take the credit of Lu Xu, and explained loudly: "Don't kowtow to me anymore, the one who helped you is Miss Lu Xu from Nanli, if you want to thank, please thank Miss Lu Xu, and thank you, Mrs. Xin Zhifu. He was the one who invited Miss Lu Xu to help."

Whether it's recapturing the robbed treasures of the people, rescuing the kidnapped young woman, or getting rid of the monsters in the sea, it's all thanks to Lu Xu.

Stealing her credit may destroy Nanli's deployment in Lanzhou, and it is not a good thing to be hated by the court.

As the new magistrate, Beichenmo only landed on the island in a hurry today, otherwise Gao Huairen's boat would not have had the opportunity to leave the dock.

I heard that there was a situation at the wharf and brought people over to understand the situation, but I didn't expect that someone would take back the property robbed by the former magistrate and the young girl who was taken away for the people.

Go along with the flow to help maintain order, just to establish an image in the hearts of the people. I didn't expect that there would be Lu Xu's handwriting in it. I didn't hear His Royal Highness say that he would arrange someone to lead the battle. Even if there was, it shouldn't be Miss Lu Xu.

"Blood coral tree, my blood coral tree."

When Bei Chenmo was depressed, an excited cry came from behind, and a fat figure was blown towards the big ship like the wind.

Seeing the fat figure rushing towards him, Chen Hanting stepped forward to stop him, jokingly said, "Mr. Zhou, run slowly, and be careful not to fall into the sea."

Zhou Yuanwai is the richest man in Lanzhou. He always likes to collect all kinds of rare treasures. The blood coral tree is his favorite collection. Gao Huairen has been thinking about it for a long time. Last night, Gao Huairen led people to rush into the Zhou mansion and snatch it away. .

"Old Zhou, that bloody thing looks evil, why are you keeping it?"

Chen Hanting deliberately teased Zhou Yuanwai, Zhou Yuanwai ran over to wipe off his sweat, and said with an apologetic smile, "I made Master Chen laugh, I'm just so interested, please help me go in and have a look at my blood coral tree."

"Go."

Zhou Yuanwai was waiting for this sentence, and rushed into the big boat.

The people who followed bowed to Chen Hanting before boarding the boat. After a while, under the command of Yuanwai Zhou, they carried a tall but very spacious hollowed-out cabinet out of the cabin.

When the cabinet was lifted down and loaded onto the carriage, Bei Chenmo took a special look, and could faintly see a tinge of red through the hollow lines, as well as a peculiar smell, which immediately made him feel very uncomfortable.

The blood coral tree is the corpse of the red coral, and it's not like he hasn't seen it before.

It's just that the blood coral he's seen is not bloody red, but rather dark, and the distribution of color patches is also deep and shallow, which is completely different from the one in front of him.

Moving quietly, he came to Chen Hanting and asked in a low voice, "Master Chen, do you know the origin of this blood coral tree? Why is Yuanwai Zhou so precious?"

"I don't know how to call adults?"

Looking at the young new magistrate, seeing him inquiring about the blood coral tree, thinking that he also wanted to get the idea of ​​​​the blood coral tree, he deliberately changed the subject.

Beichenmo nodded slightly and said: "I am from Luocheng, my surname is Beichen, and my single name is Mo, whose name is Qingzhou. I still have many things that I don't know when I first arrived. I will ask Mr. Chen for advice in many places in the future."

Chen Hanting said: "You, an official, ask me, a pirate, for advice. It's not good to spread the word."

Hearing this, Beichen smiled and said, "The imperial court pays attention to the selection of heroes regardless of where they come from. It doesn't matter whether you are a pirate or a beggar, as long as you have the ability and the right position, you will be able to take the place."

"Before our government came to Lanzhou, His Royal Highness had explained it." Beichenmo imitated Mo Jinli's tone and said, "Beichen, you are not familiar with Lanzhou and the surrounding sea areas, so don't play with your bad temper when you get there. Humbly ask the locals for advice, especially Mr. Chen from Wolong Island."

"You guys actually know Wolong Island!" Chen Hanting looked at Bei Chenmo in surprise.

"Nanli's Sky Eye can see every corner of the world." Faced with the other party's doubts, Bei Chenmo explained calmly: "Before we set off, the Sky Eye has already scanned all the nearby islands, so we have a general idea of ​​the situation above. I understand, but I have to ask everyone for more details.”

He knew that Nanli's weapons were weird, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing as Tianyan. Chen Hanting's eyes were opened by knowing their situation clearly.

At this moment, I understand that what people say to ask him for advice is actually to give him a chance to show off. Otherwise, after the Nanli people settled in Lanzhou, it would be difficult for them to earn a living at sea, and they took the initiative to be incorporated by the court to avoid being encircled and suppressed in the future.

"I am willing to serve the adults."

The hero Chen Hanting didn't suffer the immediate loss, and immediately expressed his willingness to serve the court.

Bei Chenmo snickered inwardly, and said politely: "Master Chen, he who understands the current affairs is a hero, and the battleship will come over in a few days, and you will be grateful for today's choice."

"Is there any difference between a battleship and a warship?" Chen Hanting asked after thinking for a while, and Bei Chenmo lowered his voice and said, "To tell you the truth, I have never seen it before. I only know that warships are not made of wood, equipped with artillery, and other things." Not very clear."

Chen Hanting didn't want to ask any more questions, other things were not important anymore, the fact that they were equipped with cannons alone could instantly kill all warships.

"Miss Lu Xu came here to give you the lead?" Chen Hanting asked gossipingly, Bei Chenmo thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness didn't mention this to the manor, Miss Lu Xu should be out to relax and meet you by chance, and ..."

Bei Chenmo lowered his voice and said, "It's okay, please don't provoke Miss Lu Xu, this lord dares to beat even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Chen Hanting was taken aback: "Miss Lu Xu hit someone, no way."

He really couldn't accept that Lu Xu, who looked like a fairy, was so violent.

"To be precise, it's a fight." Bei Chenmo corrected: "The children of the aristocratic families who accompanied Lu Xu to study with the prince, they fought a lot."

"It's said that they couldn't tell the difference in their homework, so they started various competitions. Fighting was one of them. In the end, Miss Lu Xu won." Of course, there was some water in it, so who would be willing to hurt such a cute little girl.

"Are the accompanying readers of His Royal Highness very good?" Chen Hanting asked.

"Fortunately, they are of different ages. If they take the imperial examination in the same year, they may get a group of champions."

Mentioning the imperial examination, Bei Chenmo sighed and said: "This government is also unlucky. I met Fanxing and Lin Weifeng when I participated in the imperial examination. In the end, I only got Tanhualang. It's really boring."

Chen Hanting couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and said: "Nanli is so big and there are so many people, it's already very impressive that you passed the Tanhualang exam. There is a scholar in Lanzhou who failed the exam ten times. My lord, he won the exam once, and he is still No. .3 Tanhualang, just laugh."

"..."

Beichen Mofang wanted to say something when he heard a loud noise.

The two turned their heads immediately, only to find that the cabinet used to use the blood coral tree exploded, exposing the dark red blood coral exuding the smell of blood.

"There's something wrong with this blood coral tree."

After Bei Chenmo finished speaking, he said to the people who brought him: "Get ready for the flamethrower, and the others should get down quickly and don't move around."

The accompanying soldiers immediately turned their guns and pointed at the strangely red blood coral tree. The people on the pier were still watching the excitement, but they were still at a loss when they suddenly heard the order.

Zhou Yuanwai was cursing and inspecting the blood coral tree, afraid of bumping into it, and didn't notice the change of the blood coral tree. Suddenly, with a bang, something like a red bead fell from the enlarged blood coral tree.

Before Zhou Yuanwai could react, he stretched out a wrinkled hand from the side, picked up the beads tremblingly, and ran quickly to the convenience of the city gate.

what……

Before he could take a few steps, he let out a scream and fell to the ground with a few thumps.

The bustling and noisy pier finally quieted down, and a buzzing sound reached everyone's ears, like poking a hornet's nest.

"Get down, everyone, get down..."

Bei Chenmo loudly urged everyone to get down, his eyes locked on the blood coral tree.

Chen Hanting was also dragged by him to squat down together, and reminded: "Just now I felt that something was wrong with the blood coral tree, the color is too bright, it doesn't look like a dead thing."

"Is there a problem with the blood coral tree?"

"This tree in front of me is probably not the blood coral tree we understand."

Looking at the buzzing blood coral tree, Bei Chenmo asked calmly: "Master Chen, do you know the origin of this thing?"

Chen Hanting hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not very clear about it. I only know that it was purchased at an auction many years ago. Member Zhou spent a lot of money to buy it back. Normally, no one else except myself can see it."

"How could Gao Huairen know the existence of this blood coral tree?"

"Who knows."

clap clap...

Countless red beads fell from the blood coral tree.

Zhou Yuanwai wanted to reach out to pick it up but dared not, and he also had to be wary of the people around him who were about to move.

Such bright red and beautiful beads fell on the ground, and few people could refuse them, especially young girls who wanted to make them into jewelry and wear them on their bodies.

"Don't touch those beads..."

Bei Chenmo reminded everyone loudly that he couldn't tell the reason, but he felt that those beads were very dangerous.

But people are not greedy enough to swallow an elephant, so they couldn't resist the temptation of the beads, so they reached out to pick up the beads and took them for themselves, but before they could put them away, the beads moved by themselves and burrowed into the meat.

ah ah ah...

Several screams sounded, and the people who took the beads fell to the ground one after another.

Soon black lines appeared on his face, and he was dead on the ground in a short while, his eyes were stained with blood and stared wide.

The sudden situation frightened all the people present. People left the blood coral tree one after another, but the beads on the blood coral tree grew wings and rushed towards the crowd.

"Fire."

Bei Chenmo ordered without hesitation.

Several fire dragons immediately sprayed towards the blood coral tree, and ordinary insects will hide when they encounter fire.

Seeing the fire, the bug in front of him not only didn't hide, but went up to meet the fire, and became bigger after rushing out of the flame.

"Rebirth from the ashes!"

Beichen moaned, but his heart trembled with nervousness.

Lihuo can burn all things, but it can't kill these bugs, what kind of monsters are they?

When Chen Hanting saw that the fire was not good, he turned around and jumped into the water, brandishing a knife, rolled up a water dragon and rushed towards the worm, thinking that worms should be afraid of water if they are not afraid of fire.

Unexpectedly, the result was beyond his expectation. As soon as the bluish red from the insect's body was washed away by the sea water, it turned into a transparent insect with blue flames, and rushed towards the nearby crowd at a faster speed.

The transport workers were the closest, and the bugs got into their bodies at once.

There was a scream of pain from the four people, and blue flames spewed out from their mouths and noses, and the four of them were burned instantly without even ashes left.

Everyone stared at the scorched black on the ground, and ran away like crazy after regaining consciousness. They didn't even care about the lost and recovered property, they just wanted to stay away from these deadly monsters.

This Bei Chenmo drew out his sword, swept away the flying insects and said, "Master Chen, you have seen a lot in the rivers and lakes, do you know what this thing is?"

"I haven't seen it before, I'm afraid only Zhou Yuan knows what's going on." Chen Dangting also swung his knife to kill the strange insects flying over and said: "I don't know if Miss Lu Xu has gone far, if she takes action, she should be able to solve these strange insects." insect."

"There is only one way right now." Bei Chenmo hesitated.

"What method?" Chen Hanting asked, and saw Bei Chenmo yelling at the top of his voice, "Miss Lu Xu, help me."

"...???" It took a while to recover from the shock: "This is also a solution. Can Miss Lu Xu hear it from such a distance?"

"With Miss Lu Xu's cultivation, she can hear voices from a hundred miles away." Bei Chenmo continued to shout after explaining, "Miss Lu Xu, help, help..."

"..."

Chen Hanting opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

He is an adult, asking for help from a little girl, he can't afford to lose face.

Bei Chenmo didn't care about that much, and continued to ask for help at the top of his voice. If the problem couldn't be solved even by Li Huo, he could only count on Lu Xu to solve it. ,

When he yelled like this, the fleeing people also yelled loudly when they heard it.

"Miss Lu Xu, help me."

"Miss Lu Xu, come and save us."

"..."

Everyone didn't know who Lu Xu was, but the new magistrate yelled, and they were definitely right in yelling.

More and more bugs flew out. Fortunately, only some of them survived the baptism of flames and sea water, and most of them did not mutate.

The bugs that left the blood coral tree were like people who were in a hurry to find a place to live. After getting into people, they quickly burrowed into their bodies, and the people quickly fell to the ground screaming, and black patterns quickly appeared on their faces, and soon they disappeared. live.

Bei Chenmo became more and more frightened, and calmly said to Chen Hanting: "Master Chen, it is the responsibility of the government to protect the people. You don't want to stay and wait to die."

"I, Chen Hanting, am a pirate, but I'm not a coward." Chen Hanting quickly swung his knife to drive away the bugs, then turned to his companions and said, "These bugs are not easy to deal with, you go first to the cabin and take shelter, and you will come out to help after the problem is solved..."

Suddenly a strange fragrance hit, and the insects flying in the air flew away on their own initiative, and finally gathered together like a pool of blood floating in the sky.

Bei Chenmo and Chen Hanting raised their heads in amazement, and saw Lu Xu floating in the air with his sword, waving his slender arms lightly, his wide sleeves fluttering and flowing with his movements.

Looking at the strange insect that had been brought under control, Bei Chenmo heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Lu Xu, I don't know what kind of strange insect this is. When it encounters fire or water, it will not only not die, but will also mutate. Let's see if there is any way to solve it." .”
