Yang Xianling sighed, "Brother Li, I now know why this Lord Chen wants to absorb the displaced people. "

Oh?" The young man surnamed Li looked at him curiously.

Yang Xian Ling continued: "Because by doing so, you can quickly organize a powerful army!" The

young man surnamed Li nodded, he felt that what Yang County Ling said was very reasonable.

In the Leping County Office, Chen Chu was strolling around here as usual. He seemed very relaxed, because there were special people to do everything in all aspects, and he, the lord, was idle. Zhang Rui followed Chen Chu as always.

"Rui'er, let's go to the little garden and have a look. I heard that a lot of plants and flowers were newly planted. Chen Chu smiled at Zhang Rui, and his big hand naturally took Zhang Rui's slender hand. Zhang Rui's pretty face flushed slightly, but she didn't show the slightest displeasure. In fact, there is still a trace of sweetness in her heart.

Just as Chen Chu was happily holding Zhang Rui's little hand and preparing to go to the small garden, a servant ran over quickly.

An outsider came, and Zhang Rui suddenly withdrew the slender hand that was held by Chen Chu. Chen Chu pursed his lips in disappointment.

"Lord Qiqi, Li Gongzi asks to see you."

Li Gongzi? Chen Chu immediately reacted, "Oh, you mean Li Tai." Invite him to the inner chamber, and I'll be there in a moment.

"Yes. The subordinates retired.

Chen Chu turned his head to look at Zhang Rui and asked, "Rui'er, are you going with me to meet the guests or go to the small garden by yourself?" Chen Chu's words were quite ridiculous.

Zhang Ruiqiao's face flushed, and she whispered: "Whoever goes with you to meet a guest, I am not your person!"

Chen Chu laughed, "Not yet, but it won't be long." After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Zhang Rui alone and infinitely shy.

Walking on the way to the inner hall, Chen Chu was in a good mood. This kind of occasional flirting life is really happy!

When they reached the inner hall, several soldiers were guarding the door. Seeing Chen Chu coming, several soldiers hurriedly saluted.

Chen Chu is quite emotional now. His soldiers and the people of Dragon Tiger Village were becoming more and more respectful to him, and he felt as if they had come to regard themselves as gods. Although this was the result he wanted, he realized that it was not a good feeling when he was there.

Walking into the inner hall, I was greeted by two young men in ragged clothes. Fortunately, the faces of these two people had just been washed, and Chen Chu could recognize one of them, he was the contemporary head of the Li family, Li Tai and the eldest son of Li.

"Oops! Li Gongzi, what's wrong with you? Chen Chu took three steps and made two steps to Li Tai and asked with concern.

Li Tai let out a long sigh, "Hey! Not to mention, it's a blessing that I was able to escape with Brother Yang!

"Who is this?" Chen Chu looked at the young man beside Li Tai with an inquiring gaze.

The young man immediately stepped forward and saluted Chen Chu with a fist and said, "My surname is Yang, and my single name is Yue, and I have seen Lord Chen."

Chen Chu also returned the salute, "Since Brother Yang came to this county, he is Chen's guest, although Brother Yang lives in Leping." "

Thank you, Lord Chen." Yang Yue hurriedly gave another salute.

Please sit down with the two of you, and Chen Chu will also sit on the ground.

"Brother Li, what's going on with you?" Chen Chu had actually guessed a few points, but he wanted to be sure.

"Hey!" Li Tai sighed, and then told the whole story.

It turned out that in the middle of the night a few days ago, in the dead of night, there was a sudden sound of killing. When Li Tai and Yang Yue woke up from their sleep, they only saw the flashing of firelight, and their ears were full of thrilling killing sounds and screams. The panicked two didn't care about tidying up, so they hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and ran out. The streets were chaotic, full of robbers killing people and setting fires, and the two escaped from Yangcheng in extreme panic. Soon after escaping from the county seat, the two met on the official road. The two are usually good friends, so the two supported each other to flee north.

Although Chen Chu expected it, he was still taken aback after listening to Li Tai's narration. This gang of robbers dared to openly attack the county seat and loot, it was so arrogant!

In Li Tai's narration, Chen Chu also learned about a situation. To his slight surprise, this Yang Yue who was following Li Tai was actually the county magistrate of Yang County.

"I didn't expect Brother Yang to be the county magistrate of Yang County." Chen Chu clasped his fists at Yang Yue and saluted.

"Shame, shame! Hey, I am ashamed to be the honor of a county, but I was robbed of the county by thieves, I am really shameless to face the people of the king!

"Brother Yang doesn't have to mind too much! After all, the thieves are strong, and it is not that Brother Yang is unfavorable in defending the city!

Yang Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head without speaking. Li Tai also lowered his head and sighed, he was sad about his batch of leather goods again.

"Brother Chen, your county soldiers are strong and strong, I don't know if I can help my younger brother recapture Yangcheng?" Yang Yue looked at Chen Chu with a look of hope, and Li Tai also had the same expression.

Chen Chu was a little moved. Although the imperial court has a clear stipulation, the military of each county and county shall not cross the border without the will of the imperial court, and violators will be punished as conspiracy. But at the same time, there is another alternative to this, if there is an invitation from the county magistrate, it is not subject to this restriction.

Although Chen Chu wanted to use this gang of robbers to train his troops, he did not immediately agree, but asked a very important question: "Two, what is the strength of this gang of robbers?"

Hearing this, the two were dumbfounded. The two of them were just running for their lives at that time, and they didn't even know the origin of this gang of robbers, how do they know their strength!

Looking at the expressions of the two looking at each other, Chen Chu knew that they couldn't answer themselves at all, so he said, "Okay, let's put this question aside for the time being." Then he stood up, "Let's go, go to the restaurant, I'll wash the dust for the two of you."

After letting the two of them wash and comb and change into clean clothes, the three of them went to Yuelai Restaurant.

Panda Restaurant is located next to Panda Inn, and the owner of the two shops is the same person. Although this Yuelai restaurant is not as good as those big restaurants in Luoyang City, the scale is not small, after all, although Leping is located in the north, it is located on the traffic artery of the Central Plains and grassland trade, and there are many business trips between the north and the south.

When the three of them came to the Yuelai Restaurant, they saw that the Yuelai Inn next to it was crowded with horses, and there was a man dressed as a bearded man at the door arguing with the shopkeeper about something.

"Hehe, it looks like this is a horse dealer from the prairie." Li Tai on the side glanced at Hu Ren at the door of the inn and said.

Chen Chu's eyes lit up, and a thought suddenly moved in his heart.

At this moment, a servant ran out of the restaurant and came to Chen Chu, "My lord, the banquet has been arranged."

Chen Chu nodded, then turned to the two of them and said, "Please sit down first, and I'll do some things." The

two of them clasped their fists at Chen Chu and said, "Brother Chen, just go."

Chen Chu asked the official to lead the two into the restaurant, and he walked towards the Hu man at the door of the inn.

"Boss, why don't you let me stay in the hotel?" Hu Ren yelled at the shopkeeper with indignation.

The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face, "Guest officer, it's not that I won't let you stay in the hotel." It's just that you can't arrange so many horses! At

this time, Chen Chu walked over. Boss, what's going on? "

When the shopkeeper saw that it was the county magistrate who had arrived, he hurriedly left Hu Ren and greeted Chen Chu." Ah! It's Lord Chen! Meet the grown-ups!

Chen Chu smiled, glanced at the Hu man who was standing on the side and was huffing, and then asked the shopkeeper, "Boss, what's going on?"

As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper suddenly showed a bitter face. But before he could speak, Hu Ren spoke first: "Are you an adult here?" You judge me. Then he told the truth of the matter.

It's actually quite simple. The Hu people wanted to sell horses in the south, but because of the bandits in front of them, the Hu people could not continue to go south, so they drove the horses back to the north, and when they arrived in Leping County, it was late, and the Hu people wanted to stay in the inn for a night. But he was not worried that the horses would be separated from him, and the inn could not arrange so many horses, so there was a scene in front of the inn before.

"That's it!" Chen Chu smiled. Then he turned his head to look at Hu Ren, "You, by the way, what's your name?" "

The little one's name is Kanhur."

Chen Chu nodded, "Kanhur, how many horses do you have?"

Kanhur looked puzzled, "I have two hundred and forty horses here. Do you want to buy it, my lord? There was a hint of hope in his expression.

Chen Chu nodded, "I want all these two hundred and forty horses." You make a bid.

Hu Ren was suddenly overjoyed, and immediately calculated carefully, "Originally, a horse was going to be sold for one and a half gold, but seeing that the adults are so bold, I, Kanhur, am not stingy, and each horse will be sold for one gold and two thousand dollars!" Two hundred and forty horses are two hundred and eighty-eight gold, so give me two hundred and eighty gold! "

At that time, the price of the steppe's high-quality horses in the Central Plains was one and a half gold, and the price given by Kanhur was not expensive. However, what Chen Chu wants is a war horse with outstanding foot strength that can go to the battlefield, are these horses in Kanhur qualified?

"I'm okay with the price, but will these horses be able to go into battle?" Chen Chu looked at the tall horses neighing around him, and liked it in his heart, but he didn't understand horses, so he wasn't sure if these horses met his requirements.

Hearing Chen Chu's suspicious words, Kanhur was unhappy, "My lord, the horses of our grassland are originally first-class war horses, and I am even more outstanding among them!" Not to mention that it is used as a general light riding war horse, even if it is put on heavy armor, there is no problem at all!

Chen Chu thought for a moment. These horses are indeed very miraculous, this Kanhur should not have deceived him, and even if Kanhur is bragpy, Chen Chu will not lose money when he buys these horses at a price of one gold and two thousand yuan.

"Kanhur, you drive these horses with me, I bought them."

Kanhur didn't move his footsteps, only to see him stretch out a hand towards Chen Chu and say, "My lord, you have to pay first."

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Two hundred and eighty gold is not a small amount, how can I carry so much money with me!" Don't worry, as soon as you arrive at the county office, I will ask someone to give you the money.

Kanhur tilted his head and thought for a moment, and he felt that the other party did make sense, so he nodded in agreement.

Kanhur and seven other companions came with his shouting.

Chen Chu led the way, while Kanhur and his seven companions followed behind Chen Chu with two hundred and forty horses.

It is said that after Chen Chu left the county office, Zhang Rui sat alone in the pavilion by the small pond, bored with a flower and tearing off the petals one by one and throwing them into the pond. Her beautiful eyes were unfocused, not knowing what she was thinking.
