Putting aside whether it is advisable for him to confer official titles before he has occupied anything, and what the consequences will be of opening champagne in advance, at least it can be seen that he is ambitious.
He appointed so many officials because he wanted those people to adapt in advance and learn how to govern.
"Where's Zhao Ge? Hasn't he come back yet?" The Wolf Lord said he wanted to check, but he didn't know how.
Statistics and finding what he needs from the messy information are not his strong points.
"Not yet. Zhao Ge is coordinating the supplies from other cities. Other cities are extremely short of water, and many people have died of thirst." said the old man.
"Huh... scholars, scholars..." The Wolf Lord rubbed his temples and said, "Call all the officials in the city who have made achievements and served in the past to come here!"
"it is good!"
…………
On the other side, the prefect’s residence.
The prefect and the chief secretary Ashige, these two people rarely get together.
There were not only the two of them in the mansion, there was also a centurion of the city defense army.
"Captain, five people disappeared last night. They disappeared while moving the bodies. At first we didn't think much of it and thought we were just a little slow, but..." The centurion looked solemn, "Their whereabouts are unknown now. They are suspected to have been killed."
"I did some follow-up research, and the faint traces of blood and the fluctuations of spiritual energy showed that they should have disappeared at the charity cemetery. There were only some potions of unknown composition left at the scene, which seemed to be a very strong poison."
"If that's the case..." The prefect's face looked a little ugly: "When did the thieves sneak into the city?"
"We accept everyone now. We don't know the details of those merchants and monks." Ashige stroked his beard and sneered: "I know those Zhou people are no good!"
"In my opinion, it's because I enforce the law impartially in the county government that those Zhou people hold a grudge against me."
"At night, those monks wait for an opportunity to kill people in revenge!"
"It's not impossible..." The prefect frowned slightly: "Where should we start investigating? The five men were ordinary soldiers, their spirits were very weak, and I'm afraid their spirits dispersed as soon as they died."
"At night... well, the patrollers at night would just persuade the monks to go back to Tianyuan Street, and would just drive away ordinary people. During the time when they were killed, there were still quite a few people active, so it was difficult to check who was at home..."
"If that doesn't work, ask the Archmage?"
"This little thing alarmed the Archmage?" Ashige shook his head: "Aren't they seeking revenge? Don't forget, this is on whose territory!"
"If it were you, I'd just arrest all the merchants among the Zhou people, gather them together, and kill one if no one admits it, until someone admits it!"
“No!” The prefect knew that the Wolf Lord cared a lot about the merchants from the Great Zhou. If he did that, he might lose his position as an official.
"Then check those monks. Except for those who make pills and weapons, all the monks live in Tianyuan Street. Let's see who has more blood and energy." Ashige licked his lips.
"That's not possible..." The prefect shook his head: "Some people practice special skills. Even if they don't kill anyone, they will still have a fresh evil spirit on them."
"Wouldn't this narrow the scope?" Ashige spread his hands.
"Well... the monks are rather special and need to be investigated secretly." The prefect agreed.
"Then check it out." Ashige said, "Normally, who would check this kind of thing?"
"If it's Central Plains, let's use a constable, right?" the centurion thought for a moment and said.
The grasslands have strong combat power, but the disadvantages of the imperfect official system are revealed.
In the Central Plains, there are special people to investigate such matters. Ordinary people who commit crimes are investigated by the constables, and monks who commit crimes are investigated by the Demon Suppression Department.
When it comes to investigating cases, the detectives of Da Zhou also have their own way of doing things.
When we got to the grassland, we were suddenly at a loss.
"No, no!"
At this moment, a soldier ran towards the ceremony place in a panic.
When he was almost there, he stumbled and almost fell.
"What's going on? Why are you so flustered?" Ashige snorted, "Is the sky falling?"
"General Agudamu is back..."
"Oh?" Ashige frowned slightly and stood up: "The enemy was completely wiped out? How many people did he lose..."
"Only about seventy people are left..."
"What?" Ashige's pupils shrank slightly.
He was the one who sent Agudamu out. He originally wanted to solve some problems and save face for himself. How come there are only so few people left?
"How many people did the enemy bring?" Ashige asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know. Lord Agudamu was in a very bad state. He returned to the barracks, surrendered his troops, and then went home, locking himself up at home..."
"Damn, what a loser, I'll go see him!" Ashige looked disappointed.
…………
A forest outside the city.
"The wind and sand have become lighter." Lu Fengxian looked at the wind and sand all over the sky and felt that it had become a little lighter, and the mysterious driving force seemed to have disappeared.
The soldiers behind him all looked tired, obviously they hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
Even if you win a battle, this fatigue cannot be eliminated.
In such a windy and dusty day, they couldn't even set up camp properly.
Moreover, the water that I brought at the beginning has been almost finished.
Without water, it is more terrible than without food.
"What do you mean by faded or not?" Mo Yi rolled his eyes at Lu Fengxian and said, "I'm telling you, these four girls are all kept by your uncle Shen. Protect them well."
When Mo Yi said he was going to purchase goods and brought a few more people with him, no one suspected him.
After all, these four maids were slaves. Not to mention being lost, even if Mo Yi beat them to death, no one would care.
"Hmm..." Lu Fengxian looked at the four maids and nodded: "But, it's a bit difficult..."
"We encountered the enemy before, and they brought them with them..."
"Then we won't fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy." Mo Yi made a decision casually: "You are the ones who provide support, just hide well."
"I think you are really amazing. You can actually come here to gather."
"Grandma Mo..."
"What did you call me?" Mo Yi was surprised.
The two had never spoken much before, and Lu Fengxian never knew how to address Mo Yi, so this address came out of his mouth.
Since Mo Yi was a child, some people have called her "girl", some have called her "little lady", and some have called her "little bitch" or even "little slut".
She has never been called grandma in her life!
Moreover, combined with her last name, she always felt that this name was strange.
"Pfft..."
Some of the soldiers following Lu Fengxian heard it and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Although Mo Yi changed her appearance and looked like the auntie in the cafeteria of Shen Lang's company, she couldn't be a grandmother, right?
"Grandma Mo." Lu Fengxian blinked his eyes: "Is there something wrong?"
“No.” Mo Yi’s expression was a little distorted, and he looked like he was going to eat someone: “How did I become Grandma Mo? Explain it to me, little brat!”
"Uncle Shen is one generation older than me, and you are two generations older than Uncle Shen, so that makes you my grandmother's generation, right?" Lu Fengxian blinked.
"Huh..." Mo Yi grabbed Lu Fengxian's face and said viciously, "This is not how it works. From now on, you can call me Aunt Mo, or Sister Mo. In short, you are not allowed to call me Grandma Mo. Do you understand?"
"Hmm... self-directed..."
"Tell me, what's the matter." Mo Yi let go of his hand.
"I'm sorry Uncle Shen..." Lu Fengxian lowered his head, "I lost more than 70 soldiers... I recovered half of the bodies, they are all on horses. The rest of the bodies... were buried by the wind and sand, and we can't find them anymore."
Speaking of this, the soldiers behind him also felt a little heavy.
Humans are not plants or trees. They all came from the Central Plains to protect Ji Wendi and to establish their own achievements.
Now, some people lie forever on this land, buried in a foreign land.
"Got it." Mo Yi also put away his playful thoughts and patted Lu Fengxian on the shoulder: "Have you made any wrong decisions, or done anything to let them down?"
"I... don't know..." Lu Fengxian shook his head.
"Commander, you've done a great job." A team member behind him said quickly, "You really treat us as brothers. We can see that."
"Moreover, this battle was a great victory!"
"Fengxian." Mo Yi said softly, "Just be worthy of everyone. If you feel that you haven't done well enough, then work hard to make yourself better. You are not strong enough now. When one day you are strong enough to control everything, your people will no longer bleed."
Few of these people understand what it means to defend the country. They just serve in the army and receive a salary, or they are military households and have this obligation.
However, the seeds of hatred will be planted little by little and passed down from generation to generation as comrades die at the hands of the enemy.
Lu Fengxian didn't understand why he had to fight, but he enjoyed the feeling that fighting brought him.
Now, he had one more reason to fight.
He had a feud with those grassland people.
…………
"Uncle, I'm sorry... Five hundred elite soldiers were almost killed by them. This group of Zhou soldiers is different from the ones we encountered before!"
Agudamu, who made Lü Fengxian feel wronged, had been kicked to the ground by Ashige and was crying about Lü Fengxian's brutality against them...
Chapter 164 The Conspiracy Has Been Completed
This was a standard tent in a yard. Agudamu looked listless, and things on the ground were very messy, with all kinds of antique furniture and jars scattered everywhere.
Ashiger looked at the waste in front of him and was so angry that he almost smoked.
Let him go to the battlefield, not to embarrass himself.
"How did you fight?" Ashige grabbed Agudamu's collar and lifted him up.
boom!
Ashige hit Agudamu's eyes with his knee, almost popping out.
“I, I don’t know…” Agudamu’s eyes were filled with confusion: “I was just leading the troops to chase them normally, but that person, that person seemed to know the direction of the wind and sand…”
"How many enemies are there and what rank is the general leading the troops?" Ashige frowned.
"One thousand people, definitely more than one thousand!" Agudamu said excitedly: "The brothers who came back can prove that they have one thousand people, and the general is in the Zhoutian realm like me! He also brought three people in the Shenhai realm!"
Looking at Ashige's expression, Agudamu felt that if he told the truth, he would be beaten to death by him.
"We have only a thousand men, only twice as many as you, and you've ended up like this? In a cavalry war, we are the masters, and you've turned the beasts of the grassland into docile sheep!"
boom!
Ashige kicked Agudamu in the abdomen, and he fell through the tent and was kicked out.
"After the battle, you didn't stay in the barracks to wait for punishment. Instead, you stuck your head into the ground like an ostrich and stuck your butt out..." Ashige's eyes flashed coldly: "Your behavior of returning home is completely cowardly!"
"In the next battle, you will be sent to the Vanguard Camp. If you fail to make any contribution, you will die on the battlefield!"
"Vanguard Camp..." Agudamu was trembling all over.
Pioneer Camp, what is that place?
In ancient wars, the first people to charge were always slaves and captives.
They will not be equipped with any armor, but will only be given simple weapons to drive them to charge.
Their function is simple: to consume the enemy's strength and blunt the enemy's knife.
For people like this, it's good if one out of a thousand survives. Their treatment is completely different from that of regular soldiers.
Watching these people die, the morale of the regular army will not collapse, but will be aroused to a certain extent.
Agudamu is a monk. If he gets close to the vanguard camp, he will be targeted by the enemy and his chances of survival will be even lower.
"uncle……"
"Don't call me uncle, I don't have a nephew like you." Seeing that Agudamu wanted to hug his thigh, Ashige kicked him out.
