Early the next morning, Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan arrived at the county government office.
I saw that County Captain Lu had already assembled his troops, and they were all fully armed.
"Mr. County Magistrate, the troops have been assembled and are just waiting for your instructions." County Lieutenant Lu humbly stepped forward and saluted Chen Yunxuan with a fist.
"Yes, how is Lei Liquan?" Chen Yunxuan asked about Lei Liquan's condition.
Just as County Lieutenant Lu was about to report the situation, a yamen runner in plain clothes ran over and whispered something to him.
After hearing this, County Lieutenant Lu relayed the situation to Chen Yunxuan: "County Magistrate, Lei Liquan has already set off. We should also act as soon as possible."
"Okay, a few of us will follow them first, and the main group will follow them after Lei Liquan leaves the county."
"I understand." Lu Fengyu said, and immediately gave orders to his trusted confidant: "Follow Lei Liquan first, and the main group will follow later. Be careful to hide and don't let Lei Liquan and the others notice you."
After receiving the order, the yamen runner immediately left the county government office and carried out his mission.
After his confidants left, Lu Fengyu ordered everyone to officially enter a state of combat readiness.
According to Lu Fengyu's arrangement, their team will disguise themselves as a caravan and pretend to head south.
Before Chen Yunxuan arrived, the team was dressed up as an ordinary caravan.
Chen Yunxuan put on luxurious clothes and pretended to be the manager of the caravan.
This was the first time Chen Yunxuan wore such expensive clothes. He was afraid of getting them dirty, so he was very careful with every move he made.
Seeing Chen Yunxuan's rustic look, afraid of damaging something valuable, Lin Tongxi teased him, "Hello, Shopkeeper Chen, why are you so reserved today?"
"Uh... Brother Tongxi, please stop teasing me. This dress looks very expensive, and I don't want to cause trouble for County Lieutenant Lu." Chen Yunxuan defended his actions.
"Hahahahahahaha, you are a county magistrate, why don't you buy it? We are rich now, it doesn't matter if it is broken, I will buy it for you later." Lin Tongxi laughed. He didn't expect that Chen Yunxuan still maintained the habit of poverty and thrift in Chengtian Academy as before.
"No need. I'll just be careful. This dress doesn't suit me. It would be a waste to buy it." Chen Yunxuan shook his head.
"You're so timid, you can't be the manager of a caravan!" Lin Tongxi refuted, then continued, "Besides, I just want to give you this dress. Are you going to let me, a friend, down?"
"Well... okay then." Chen Yunxuan had no choice but to agree, and his actions gradually became bolder.
"No, you have to walk like this, with an arrogant aura, giving people the feeling that 'I am rich, and I can kill you with money whether you believe it or not.'" Lin Tongxi corrected Chen Yunxuan's movements.
The details Lin Tongxi mentioned were all summarized based on the wealthy businessmen he had met before, including this world and the world before he traveled through time.
After the two of them finished dressing up, they went out and saw Lu Fengyu dressed as the leader of the escort team.
"Your Excellency is truly noble, and this suit of clothes suits him perfectly." Lu Fengyu praised Chen Yunxuan's dress.
"Thank you for your kind words, County Magistrate Lu. I am still used to wearing official uniform." Chen Yunxuan responded to Lu Fengyu.
Speaking of clothes, Lin Tongxi took out the silver and expressed his willingness to buy: "Master Lu, let's buy this set of clothes."
Lu Fengyu waved his hand and returned the silver: "Since you like it, I will give you this set of clothes as a gift."
Lin Tongxi knew that Chen Yunxuan was unwilling to accept gifts from others for no reason, especially from his subordinates, so he came to his rescue: "That won't do. Let's keep things separate."
"Lord Lu, you and I are both the county magistrate's right-hand men. We cannot break his rules."
"Master Chen has always been honest. If Master Lu insists on sending it, then the county magistrate will be unwilling to dress up as the shopkeeper."
Chen Yunxuan nodded and echoed Lin Tongxi: "That's right, Master Lu, you should accept it. Or you can be the shopkeeper and I will be the escort leader."
"This... With the temperament of a lowly official, how dare I be the shopkeeper? Let the adults do it. As for the clothes, well, you can buy them." Lu Fengyu had no choice but to accept the silver.
Another official arrived and reported that County Magistrate Lei had left the county, and the large army then followed suit.
On the way, Lei Liquan in the carriage was very distressed about recent events.
Somehow, his smuggling routes have been disrupted repeatedly recently.
It’s okay that he suffered a setback before. Lei Liquan thought that Chen Yunxuan was just angry at the moment, so he didn’t bother with him for the time being.
In view of the fact that Mao Dehui's generals suffered a defeat, Ding Nanjing began to pay less and less attention to Mao Dehui.
Mao Dehui knew that the defeat was only the superficial reason, and the fundamental reason was that Ding Nanjing deliberately suppressed him.
Ding Nanjing simply wanted to explain that he was still the lord of Xiangzhou and asked Mao Dehui not to be too arrogant.
Helpless, Mao Dehui had to endure it.
When Ding Nanjing dies and his nephew Ding Qicong succeeds to the throne, he will become the actual controller of Xiangzhou!
But Ding Nanjing is not going to die so soon, he still needs to build up his strength before that.
For example, preparing the army, or continuing to rely on smuggling to save military funds.
Of course, all this has to be done in a low-key manner.
Based on this, Mao Dehui ordered his subordinates not to be too ostentatious.
Lei Liquan, who belonged to Mao Dehui's faction, had to obey the order and forced himself to suppress his dissatisfaction with Chen Yunxuan.
He had been working in Guangyang County for many years and had been the county magistrate for a long time. As long as he could endure for a little longer...
He will then have the hope of taking over as county magistrate and becoming the real person in charge of Guangyang County!
