Great Xuanwu Sheng Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Donghong Township

 In a secluded wilderness, a group of hundreds of people were walking in a hurry.

Walking at the front of the team were Xu Hongyu and Chen Mu, while Xiao He walked to the rear right, observing the terrain in front of the right and occasionally glancing at Xu Hongyu and Chen Mu.

Behind them are some other green-clothed and black-clothed guards of the Demon Slaying Division, mixed with some people from the Yu family, and then there are the elite swordsmen of the Yu family, who are actually trained nursing institutions, and finally there are those transferred from the county government. A group of officers were taken. Although these officers have no ability to fight monsters, they still need manpower to deliver messages and other things.

"Brother Ding, Chen... and Miss Xu are probably too close."

Among the Yu family horses and Demon Slayer Division figures walking in the second echelon of the team, a black-clothed guard looked at the backs of Xu Hongyu and Chen Mu in front of him, and couldn't help but whisper to a green-clothed guard next to him.

Ding He frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense!"

 Said.

He also took a deep look at Chen Mu's back and said slowly: "Mr. Chen is a confidant promoted by Miss Xu. He also has a very capable body, which is different from you and me."

Wu Pu, the guard in black, whispered: "What's the difference? We are all foreigners and not from the Yu family. Chen Mu only entered the level of Yi Jin not long ago. Brother Ding, you have already mastered Yi Jin. He Even though he has a strong body, he can't compare with you, Brother Ding, but the eldest lady values ​​him so much, we might have to listen to his instructions."

 There was a hint of jealousy in his tone.

If he were a member of the Yu family, it would be fine to be so close to Xu Hongyu, or if they were both white-clothed guards, it wouldn't matter. But Chen Mu was only a green-clothed guard, but he was able to walk at the forefront of the team, together with Xu Hongyu, and the two of them were on the same side. They were talking about something from time to time while walking. They didn't look like subordinates and superiors, and they were even too close.

Hearing Wu Pu's words, Ding He did not respond, but he only took a deep look at Chen Mu. He knew that Chen Mu was not a simple person who had reached the realm of Yijin with a strong body, and had more potential than him. It's normal for Xu Hongyu to think highly of them, but seeing that Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu don't look like subordinates or superiors, it's hard to avoid having some thoughts in their hearts.

 Could it be that Xu Hongyu not only valued Chen Mu, but also had a fancy for him?

Then there are some...

He knew that Xu Hongyu was not yet married. As a direct descendant of the Yu family and one of the highest-status members of the younger generation, Chen Mu would undoubtedly reach the sky in one fell swoop if he could follow the dragon and the phoenix.

It's just that even if Chen Mu uses Xu Hongyu's trust and coaxes Xu Hongyu to move, the Yu family may still not accept it. After all, Xu Hongyu's status is not comparable to that of the collateral children of the Yu family, even within the direct line. His position is also extremely high, and he is destined to be unable to get along with ordinary people.

"The eldest lady has her own judgment. It's not our turn to point fingers, so please don't make any random comments."

Ding He's eyes flickered for a few times, then he spoke in a deep voice to Wu Pu next to him.

Seeing that Ding He was silent, Wu Pu could only respond helplessly. In fact, he was a guard in black, and he was indeed one level lower than Chen Mu. He just felt that since Chen Mu could do it, why couldn't Ding He? If Ding He can also gain the trust and even favor of Xu Hongyu. With the relationship between him and Ding He since childhood, his status can also rise.

Chen Mu was walking next to Xu Hongyu and was discussing the garrison in Donghong with Xu Hongyu.

He also noticed some eyes coming from behind, some were sizing them up, and some were slightly jealous and dissatisfied, but this was normal. After all, he was only serving as a green guard, but he was walking at the front of the team and It was normal for Xu Hongyu to come with him and attract some looks and criticism. He didn't care about anything and just continued to discuss with Xu Hongyu.

Xu Hongyu is not good at intrigues and secret fights with others, but she does have some insights into formations and formations. In addition, she has richer experience in hunting monsters. She has participated in more than one such monster chaos. Many of Chen Mu's ideas made Chen Mu nod in his mind. He said it was a discussion, but in fact it was more that he listened to Xu Hongyu's arrangements and occasionally made a few suggestions.

Chen Mu has risen from the bottom to today. In fact, he has a sense of arrogance in his heart, but he will not be complacent because of it. He has never overly pointed out things that he is not familiar with and does not understand, just like asking the Secretary in the Wutong. During his first term of office, he only performed tasks, cooperated with the General Directorate, and rescued the victims. He did not try to change the entire ecology of Wutongli.

Firstly, the status has not reached such a high level. The entire Nancheng District is integrated, and it is impossible to pick one out and suddenly turn it into another world. Secondly, without knowing much and not having a broad enough understanding, they intervene indiscriminately. Maybe it will create chaos. After all, quelling chaos is one thing and governing it is another.

Like dealing with a demonic chaos.

The strategy is not to station troops in Donghong Township and nearby villages. In that case, even thousands of soldiers and horses cannot take care of it. After all, the map in this life is much wider than those in Chen Mu's previous life. One Donghong Township occupies The land has a radius of hundreds of miles, but not all places in this area of ​​nearly a hundred miles are inhabited.

Xu Hongyu still used the method used by the Yu family in the past. She found some key locations to draw lines or points outside the inhabited villages, and then divided hundreds of people into groups of three or two to inspect those places. Probing.

  If there are monsters out there, if they are small in number and not strong, you can deal with them yourself.

If the number is large or the level is high, retreat immediately, pass the news on, and send out troops to attack.

The utensils these people carry are also very knowledgeable. There are special incense powders that can mask the smell, facilitate hiding, and make it difficult for monsters to notice. There are also 'whistles' that can report messages from a distance, like fireworks, with a sound. It can be transmitted ten miles, so it can be connected into one piece and transmitted layer by layer.

 Chen Mu knows a lot less about these things. When I learned them one by one from Xu Hongyu, I couldn't help but sigh. No matter what the environment is, the human race can always create various coping strategies according to the environment. Perhaps in the very ancient times, when martial arts had not yet reached the heavens, they relied on this wisdom to survive in the cracks, and finally gradually occupied this area of ​​​​the mountains and rivers, ruled the world, and fought against the terrifying monsters that once dominated the mountains and rivers, gradually declined. , now they can only hide in various poisonous swamps in deep mountains.

soon.

 The group arrived at the Xiangting Pavilion in Donghong Township.

This is also a very large settlement. Even just looking at the area and the number of houses, it seems to be larger than the county capital. The only difference is that there are no towering walls here, which cannot resist the invasion of monsters.

There are village chiefs in the village, as well as yamen and police officers, and there are quite a few of them. At this time, everyone has been waiting for the arrival of the Demon Slayer Division. When Chen Mu and his party arrived, the village chief and others from Donghong Township were already eager to go out. welcome.

“My lords are here, please come in quickly. I have asked someone to prepare a banquet for you all.”

The head of the house saluted Xu Hongyu, Chen Mu and others, and smiled along with them.

Xu Hongyu said with a cold expression: "There is no need for a banquet. Keep everything simple. From now on, everything in Donghong Township will be subject to my instructions. The people and officials sent by each government office will be counted and reported as soon as possible."

Having experience as the chief police officer of Nancheng District, Xu Hongyu is familiar with controlling a place.

"Yes Yes."

The commander immediately responded and ordered the subordinates next to him to do it immediately.

At the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Hongyu secretly, and then at Chen Mu next to him. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous, mainly because the adult who came from the Demon Slayer Division this time looked a little too young.

Although he, as the head of a township, knew very well that the white-clothed guards and the green-clad guards must have corresponding strength, but to govern a place to deal with monsters and chaos, various personnel arrangements and experience were also crucial. Often, a single order could reduce a lot of losses.

but.

The head of the village soon calmed down slightly, because after Xu Hongyu arrived at the village in Xiangting, she directly began to ask him about the situation in various places in Donghong, whether there was any discrepancy with the map, and some other arrangements and matters.

As long as the adults who come down from the Demon Slayer Division are not the type who are young and arrogant, headstrong and do not listen to advice, then there will be nothing. After all, there is no problem in terms of strength, and strategies can be discussed with each other.

 In the meeting hall.

 Xu Hongyu, Chen Mu, Li Chang and Xiao He gathered around the map and discussed the designated strategies with each other, which was very harmonious.

However, there was quite a bit of chaos outside. Some of the Tsing Yi Guards from the Demon Slaying Department and people from the Yu family looked in the direction of the meeting hall and complained. It didn't matter that Xiao He was Xu Hongyu's personal maid. Chen Mu was with them. As a green-clad guard, he also entered the meeting hall. This was different from walking with Xu Hongyu before. It was almost obvious that he had taken the central and commanding position.

Not only Wu Pudinghe and others, but also some members of the Yu family frowned occasionally. After all, their surname was Yu, and they all had to wait outside to take orders.

after awhile.

The village chief went out and ordered the villagers to go.

 Only three people, Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu, were left in the meeting hall.

"Both of us are sitting in the township, which is a waste of troops. If you are in the township, there will be no problem. I will take a few people to patrol the Huangyuan Mountain area. What do you think?"

Xu Hongyu looked at Chen Mu and asked.

Chen Mu looked at the map, thought for a while and said: "No, you should be in charge of the village. After all, I am just a Qingyi guard, and it is inconvenient to dispatch manpower. Besides, I am not familiar with monsters and chaos, and you should be the center of the response in the village. , leave the area around the Wasteland Mountain to me, and if there are any problems in other directions, I will be there soon."

Although it is easy to deal with the criticism of those outside, just show a little strength, but after Chen Mu watched Xu Hongyu's entire schedule, he felt that it was most appropriate for her to be the center of the schedule.

ˆ And.

 Township is the center of Donghong, and it is also the safest place to sit here.

  Comparatively, the area near Huangyuan Mountain is more dangerous. It is a relatively uninhabited place on weekdays, and the Huangyuan Mountain area is also on the dividing line between Anyu and Huaiyu counties.
