Gou Becomes a Boss in the Fairy World

Chapter 1481 Mortal Heart Refining (Twenty-Five)

In less than a cup of tea, Wang Chen killed his way through the ranks of the bandits.

At this time, in front of Wang Chen, there was no other enemy except a burly man holding a battle axe.

And the look in the eyes of this burly man looking at Wang Chen was full of incomparable resentment and anger.

He roared like a beast, and suddenly swung the battle axe in his hand towards Wang Chen, with a force that seemed to be able to cut through the entire mountain.

However, Wang Chen took a step back, held the Mo Dao in both hands flat, and stabbed out at the strong man among the bandits.

An inch longer is an inch stronger. Wang Chen's weapon was several times longer than the opponent's battle axe, so he was the first to arrive and stabbed the bandit's chest like lightning.

Puff!

The burly man roared in pain, and the falling battle axe hit the blade heavily.

Clang!

The sharp blades collided and produced dazzling sparks, but they could not be cut off.

Wang Chen twisted his wrist, and the long blade spun rapidly, immediately creating a big hole in the opponent's chest.

The fierce bandit stared at Wang Chen, and when the latter drew back the sword, he took his last breath.

Wang Chen turned around and saw that his three hundred sharp soldiers were chasing and killing the fleeing bandits.

These bandits were killed by Wang Chen and cried for their parents, throwing away their armor and helmets. They had no will to fight at all, and they wished they could grow two more legs.

Then the surrounding terrain was open and flat, and there was no place to hide, so many bandits were shot down by arrows from behind, or were caught up and killed by the sharp soldiers.

Screams, wails, and begging for mercy...

They echoed for a long time under the setting sun, and it took a long time to completely subside.

There were hundreds of corpses in the wilderness, and the bright red blood merged into a river among the weeds.

The cry of crows came from afar.

"Mr. Wang."

A blood-soaked escort strode up to Wang Chen and saluted, saying, "We have completely defeated the bandits!"

Although he was very tired, his face was full of excitement.

It was such a great pleasure to kill them!

"Yeah."

Wang Chen looked at the sky and said, "Give orders to clean up the battlefield and return to guard the camp!"

His order was quickly passed down, and the soldiers who were chasing the bandits returned to reunite, and then began to treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield.

These bandits were not refugees with nothing, so there were quite a lot of spoils from the corpses.

When the battlefield was cleaned up and everyone returned to the camp, it was already dark.

A blazing bonfire was set up in the caravan camp, and the bright firelight reflected the excited faces.

Wang Chen asked the accountant who accompanied the team to count the captured spoils, and then took out a large box of silver and distributed it to everyone who participated in the battle.

This was the reward they deserved.

In the battle that just ended, although the Qing'an caravan won a brilliant victory under the leadership of Wang Chen, killing more than a thousand bandits.

But there were also some losses on their side, with more than a dozen dead and more injured.

Wang Chen asked people to set aside some silver as compensation, and asked people to cremate the victims, put them into jars and take them back to their hometown one by one.

At noon the next day, the caravan was on the road again.

There were corpses all over the ground.

And these corpses also greatly frightened other bandits, and there was no danger on the way home for the Qing'an caravan.

In this way, it took more than a month, and the caravan returned to Qing'an County with a large amount of food.

??????????.??????

The return of the caravan also made a sensation in the entire county.

County Magistrate Ye Xiangming personally went outside the city to greet them, and countless people lined the streets to welcome them. The scene was so warm that it became a memory that many people will never forget in their lives.

Wang Chen also saw his wives and concubines, and Ye Dai and Xiao Yu both cried.

For nearly two months, they missed Wang Chen every day and were worried about him. Their days were very tormenting.

Now they finally felt relieved.

But as the leader of the caravan, Wang Chen could not go home with them immediately.

After the grain was stored and the caravan was disbanded, Ye Xiangming invited Wang Chen to the county government for a secret talk.

The first thing they talked about was naturally the bandits.

Li Zili, who called himself the King of Pingtian, failed to capture Qing'an County with his troops, and then turned to attack another city. He captured it after half a month of siege, thus recovering most of his strength.

But they were soon besieged by the army sent by the prefectural city. After a fierce battle, the Pingtian army suffered a series of setbacks and was forced to withdraw from Changyi Prefecture.

At present, the situation in Changyi Prefecture has stabilized, and several lost counties have been recovered.

The problem is that the damage caused by the bandit army will take a long time to make up!

The drought in Changyi Prefecture has not eased at all. The water level of Qingshui River has dropped to the limit, and all the self-flowing water wheels have become decorations.

The result is that the autumn grain harvest in Changyi Prefecture this year is less than one-third of the normal harvest.

Some places have even completely lost their harvests due to the destruction of bandits.

The autumn rice in Qing'an County has been harvested, and the losses are also very heavy. At present, the rice price in the county is high, and some merchants are even hoarding it, which gives Ye Xiangming a headache.

If this situation continues, the stability that Qing'an County has finally achieved will fall into chaos again.

Fortunately, Wang Chen came back with a large amount of food.

Although the grain purchased by the caravan is not enough to fill this year's grain deficit, it at least greatly stabilizes people's hearts.

It can also stabilize rice prices.

"My dear son-in-law, come to the county government to help me."

Ye Xiangming said with bright eyes: "I plan to recommend you to be the county magistrate!"

At present, Ye Xiangming can be said to have monopolized power in Qing'an County and is the well-deserved number one figure.

But holding both military and political power is also a huge burden for him. After all, a person cannot be split in half.

Ye Xiangming is very clear that his concurrent appointment of the two positions of county magistrate and county magistrate is just a stopgap measure from above. Once the situation is completely stable, the prefectural city will inevitably have new appointments.

His position as county magistrate is definitely stable, but if he is replaced by a county magistrate who is not in tune with him, it will undoubtedly be a big trouble.

So after thinking about it, Ye Xiangming wants Wang Chen to occupy this position.

He also knew that Wang Chen had no interest in being an official, so he was very sincere: "Just help me!"

Since his father-in-law had said this, Wang Chen couldn't refuse: "Okay."

"Great!"

Ye Xiangming clapped his hands and laughed: "I will immediately submit a petition to the government office to confirm this matter!"

The power to appoint the county magistrate and the county magistrate was in the government office. In order to avoid more trouble, Ye Xiangming immediately wrote a recommendation letter and sent it to the city as soon as possible.

Half a month later, the city sent someone to issue a new appointment.

Because of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits, Wang Chen was appointed as the county magistrate of Qing'an County! ——

The second update is here.
