After the immortal disappeared

This is the military training method passed down from Panlong City. Come through the forest of guns and go into the blood and fire. Those who survive will grow rapidly and receive generous rewards.

Simple, crude and cruel, but effective.

What every recruit receives here is not gentle care, but a test of life and death.

The southern trade route has also been turned into a training ground for the Yuheng City Army, and sometimes up to two battles are fought in a day.

He Lingchuan himself was as busy as a top. How to fight the encounter with the water bandits, how to adjust the patrol team, which generals could be promoted... He was indispensable for everything.

He was checking the latest battle reports even while eating. He had not been home for at least ten days, and he had no time to spend with Master Sun.

In addition to the water bandits, he was also deeply involved in the affairs of Yuheng City.

He originally thought that it was enough for him to just take care of military affairs, being iron-blooded and simple.

Oh, he is too simple.

In cities like Panlong City and Yuheng City, all administrative affairs basically revolve around military affairs and war. He Lingchuan wanted to meet with officials at all levels no less than Wen Daolun.

He even made time to give a speech at Yuheng Academy to encourage students and soldiers.

Big people have the troubles of big people, such as a serious lack of time.

Wen Daolun even pulled him to discuss the tax reform system, because the banditry in Longchuan was a legacy of history, and it was Xiqiao that scraped the ground and caused the people to rebel and banditry. Therefore, Yuheng City must show the greatest goodwill to the people and try every means to control the officials. The bandits separated.

Wen Daolun was very anxious about this.

He Lingchuan also found that his stay in the Panlong World was getting longer and longer.

In the beginning, it was only a dozen hours, then it was extended to four or five days, and now it is often ten days and a half. The longest time, he spent more than twenty days in the Panlong World, but in reality it was just one night.

Sometimes he couldn't tell which was reality and which was Panlong World because the time he spent in Yuheng City was obviously longer than reality.

This probably has something to do with getting the lid back on the square pot, right?

He had a feeling that the world seemed to be getting more solid.

Anyway, after more than a dozen guerrilla battles in which you killed others and chased others, the number and frequency of robberies by the Takigawa water bandits began to decline significantly.

After all, they had a limited number of people and limited backup. After several ferocious counterattacks by the Yuheng City Army regardless of the cost, the arrogance of the water bandits was also suppressed.

If bandits don't fight with officials, objective laws will always take effect.

Under the severe attack of the new army in Yuheng City, the Longchuan trade route began to recover again.

At the middle and north end of Longchuan Commercial Road, there is Qinglangxingyi.

At this time of year, the small lake behind the inn is filled with the sound of frogs from morning to night, but no frogs can be heard because the lotus poles are taller than people.

Under the scorching sun, He Lingchuan entered Qinglang Post wearing a straw hat and cloth clothes. He threw some silver to the postman and asked for a set of low tables and chairs to place at the back of the post and by the small lake.

It's cool and windy here.

He was not the only one to do this. Seven or eight tables along the lake were arranged like this. They were widely spaced so that no one could get in the way of anyone else. Unless they shouted to each other, no one could hear anyone else.

He Lingchuan ordered a large pot of bayberry wine, a local specialty, and a plate of salted crispy peanuts, then squatted at the table and started to eat.

The aroma of charcoal fire drifted here. There was a thin, dark man who had set up a barbecue not far away. He had just put dozens of meat skewers on it and was fanning it fiercely with a cattail leaf fan.

He Lingchuan also ordered a dozen skewers to taste.

But before the skewers were baked, someone came over from the opposite side, also wearing a bamboo hat. He walked all the way to him and then stopped and asked: "Is there anyone here?"

"No, sit down." He Lingchuan took out a wooden cup and filled him with bayberry wine.

The one who comes is the thin man. I haven't seen him for two months, and he is now thinner and darker.

"Why this wine again?" The thin man sat down and said disgustedly, "I almost threw up in the village."

It’s funny to say that although Longchuan is a den of water bandits, the best bayberry wine within a hundred miles is produced in Longchuan. The bandits there were going out to rob and take out their own specialties, that is, they were robbing money and making money at the same time, without missing a beat.

"Which village has the best bayberry wine?" He Lingchuan poached the thin man from Panlong City and asked him to work as an undercover agent in Longchuan. This guy is a social person by nature and can get along well anywhere.

"Of course it's Qianjin Village. The bayberries produced by those old trees are each so big!" The thin man put his thumb and index finger together. He Lingchuan guessed that it was the size of a table tennis ball. "There is a clear spring behind the village, with good fruits and good water. Only then can you make good wine.”

He Lingchuan asked curiously: "Didn't you go to the Lu family to help? How did you get the fruit spring water from Qianjin Village?"

The thin man exclaimed: "The Lu family gang broke up last month. I asked someone to find connections and entered Qianjin Village."

"Disbanded?" He Lingchuan held a peanut, "How can such a big gang disband just like that?"

The Lujia Gang is known as the eight hundred water gang. It is not the strongest gang in Longchuan, but it is the largest in number. In the Yuan Kingdom in later generations, the local regular army may not even have 800 people.

Just relying on the strength of their numbers, the Lu Family Gang was able to rank high in Longchuan.

"Three months ago when we attacked Yuheng City, the Lu family gang went to Lu Laoliu. He was a very important figure in the gang. Boss Lu liked him the most and originally wanted him to take over. But..."

"Well, Lu Laoliu is dead." Of course He Lingchuan knew. Because he had seen this head when counting military merits after the war.

"Last month, Boss Lu also died of illness. The remaining leaders refused to obey any of them. After a few fights, they took away all the men, so the gang dispersed." The thin man stopped talking here, because The thin black guy from the barbecue stall brought them ten skewers.

“The rest are still roasting.”

"No rush." ​​He Lingchuan ate a skewer of roasted lamb and immediately said, "Add ten more skewers of lamb!"

It's fragrant and tender, and the charcoal aroma in the suet is just right, not burnt or old.

"okay!"

The customers around Xiaohu also enjoyed the food and placed additional orders one after another.

The thin black man walked away with a smile, and the thin man whispered at his back: "Isn't this someone's spy?"

"Good eyesight." He Lingchuan whispered, "He is one of ours."

The thin man was relieved: "You can do it, kid. Even if I don't serve as your spy in the future, I can still make money by setting up a barbecue stall in Yuheng City with this skill."

"He joined the army two months ago and is quite talented. Later, everyone discovered that what he is best at is not fighting, but kebabs."

The thin man jerked off a few fat and thin skewers while it was hot, and then continued: "The disbandment of the Lu Family Gang is mainly related to Yuheng City. In the past few months, the patrols on the Longchuan Trade Road and Pingyuan Village have become stronger and stronger, and the water bandits Ten out of ten and six out of ten, and there are many complaints."

"Where are you going?" He Lingchuan picked up a bunch of steaming grilled heart tubes. Well, they were crispy and a little sweet. "All the monsters and monsters are crowding into the Long River, and I will make them unable to eat!" "
