Chapter 872 Rumors

After everyone visited the main hall and the back house, everyone was very satisfied with this elegant and elegant house.

"It's very nice. The furniture inside is complete. It looks much more upscale than an inn."

Jiang Xiaoyuan looked very satisfied and praised happily.

Dongfang Ling took the opportunity to get close to her, held her arm in hers, and said with a smile: "As long as Sister Xiaoyuan is satisfied, I will ask the steward to arrange a few servants to take care of her later. This will be more convenient."

"No, we can just do it ourselves. We are not used to having outsiders living here."

Chu Yang was afraid that she would cause trouble, so he could only thank her for her kindness.

Su Yue and the others also felt the same. They were not pampered people. Now besides practicing, they didn't have to do much, so there was no need for others to serve them, so they all declined.

Dongfang Ling had no choice but to give up this plan. She originally planned to plant an informant to monitor Chu Yang's movements at any time...

When Su Yue and others went to deposit and salute, Chu Yang remembered something and said to Dongfang Ling, who was wandering around the room: "Hey, hey, don't be idle. Come and take a look. Since we are all deputy commanders, I have to arrange some tasks for you.”

Of course, Dongfang Ling couldn't be interested in this bullshit mission, but now that she had just become Chu Yang's subordinate, if she gave up the job for the first mission, it would be hard to explain to her father, so she had no choice but to leave the house with Chu Yang.

Outside the gate of the escort camp, Chief Luo Wu sat in front of a long table, his eyes wandering around the people coming and going, his expression very solemn.

"Boy Luo, are you being lazy when you sit still?"

At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from behind, and Wu Chang Luo was startled. When he turned around, he realized that Liu Changtian was walking over with his hands behind his back.

"Mr. Liu."

Chief Luo Wu stood up quickly and said hello.

Liu Changtian is now the most trusted person by the Commander-in-Chief. Although he did not take this old man seriously in the past, now he has to be respectful for fear of offending him.

Liu Changtian looked at him with a frown and said, "How many people have you recruited now?"

"One, not one..."

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Luo Wuchang's forehead, and he said somewhat sarcastically.

"How is that possible? Haven't we already sent out the notice?"

Liu Changtian's face darkened, feeling that there was a big problem in this.

No matter how bad the reputation of the escort team is, it is not to the point where no one cares about it. Besides, the commander has improved the treatment of ordinary soldiers. There must be many practitioners who are tempted. Now there is not even a single figure, which is very unusual.

Naturally, Wu Zhang Luo didn't know what the problem was, but he still suggested: "How about we go to the place where the notice was posted and have a look. Maybe there is a problem there?"

"That's fine."

Recruiting people was the top priority of the escort team. Liu Changtian did not dare to neglect it, so he walked with Chief Luo on crutches towards the place where the notice was posted.

The two of them walked slowly, and after a while, they turned the corner and arrived at the first place where the notice was posted.

What is strange is that there are many people surrounding the notice board, and the three floors inside and outside are completely dark.

The literate person was reading the official document on the notice, while others were pointing at the notice and talking about it.

In order to find out the truth, Liu Changtian slowly walked over and listened.

"Brother Xu, the escort has been reorganized. Do you think what the notice says is reliable?" In the crowd, a young man wearing shorts asked the person next to him.

The man called Brother Xu was a middle-aged man. He sneered and said disdainfully: "What a fool. You have forgotten last time. It was also said that it was to rectify military affairs and recruit martyrs to increase combat power to annihilate Wuji who was entrenched on the river. Zong Demon Bandit, you have also seen the result. We have recruited a lot of people, but almost all of them were killed before they had any direct contact with the Demon Bandit. I think this time I still want to find people to die. What is the purpose of protecting the country and the people? Bullshit, whoever believes it is a fool!”

"Well, it's not that scary, isn't it? Didn't the escort team have a new leader? They also sent away all the trash in the camp. It seems that the city lord really wants to rectify it, right?"

"Huh, City Lord?"

Brother Xu looked disdainful and said: "Haven't you heard? The commanders here are two young men in their early twenties. I think these two guys are also related people. They go to the escort team to make money. They All the people in the camp have been assigned, and most of the money they paid will go into their pockets. Recruiting people now is just a show. If you don’t believe it, look at it. When they can’t recruit people anymore, they will continue If you relax the conditions, you will have to gather a bunch of people again. "

"That's wrong. The city lord is indeed determined to rectify the escort team. These two commanders are also capable people. If they dare to embezzle money so openly, will the city lord just sit back and watch?"

Behind the two of them, someone suddenly interrupted.

Brother Xu looked back a few times and saw an old man standing behind him. He said contemptuously: "What do you know, old man? The city lord is only effective, and the guard team will not be corrupted to this point. The responsible city lord has nothing to do with it, right?"

Liu Changtian's face turned red. What the other party said was true. It was precisely because of the city lord's long-term neglect that the escort team became what it is today. It is really hard to be convincing now that the city lord will not ignore it.

However, he still retorted: "Maybe the city lord realized this, so he decided to kill him and reorganize the guard team?"

Brother Xu glanced at Liu Changtian up and down, and said with a subtle look: "What is your relationship with the City Lord's Mansion? To speak for him like this, could it be that you were sent by the City Lord?"

Several people around him also felt a little strange. At this time, after Brother Xu questioned him, they all subconsciously distanced themselves from Liu Changtian, looking disdainful of being associated with you.

Liu Changtian was very angry, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "I am a bad old man, how can the city lord recognize me? Don't talk nonsense."

"whispering sound!"

Brother Xu didn't pay attention to him at all. He spat disdainfully and stopped paying attention. He turned around and started talking loudly again.

Liu Changtian didn't want to argue, and went to several other notice boards with Luo Wuzhang with a sullen face.

After they made a round of inspection, Liu Changtian's expression became very ugly.

When he returned, Captain Luo had a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect our escort's reputation to be so bad. Now we are just like rats crossing the street. No wonder no one is willing to sign up. They are all afraid of being cannon fodder!"

"It's not all you bastards who are dissatisfied."

Liu Changtian paused on his crutches and scolded him.

"Come on, don't be angry. I can't bear this responsibility alone. Let's go back and report it to the commander."

Wu Zhang Luo felt a little unjust, but there was no point in arguing now, so he didn't speak again.

When they returned to the gate of the camp, they saw Chu Yang and Dongfang Ling standing and sitting in front of the long table, seeming to be talking about something.

Liu Changtian and the others hurriedly stepped forward, cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest lady."

Dongfang Ling stood in front of the table, holding her chest and getting angry. At this time, the two people came forward and just touched her brow. The anger immediately found an outlet and scolded the two of them: "What are you doing? I asked you to do it." Man, you ended up running far away, don’t you want to do it anymore?”

"Hungry……"

The two of them knew that they had been misunderstood, and were about to explain, when Chu Yang slapped the table and said, "Why are you trying to show off your prestige? Is this your place to speak? Get out of the way, my commander!"

"you……"

Dongfang Ling's eyebrows stood up, wanting to scold Chu Yang.

However, Chu Yang had made it clear just now that if she didn't obey the order, Chu Yang would just leave and let Dongfang Hao take charge of the escort team. She knew this was impossible, so she had to swallow her anger and walk aside.

After Xiao Nizi stepped aside angrily, Chu Yang sat upright and asked: "Chief Luo, have all the notices been posted?"

"Everything has been posted, not a single one has been left behind!"

Chief Luo Wu replied quickly.

Dongfang Ling failed to establish his authority just now, but now he got another opportunity. He put one hand on his hips and pointed at the roster and said: "Since it has been posted for a long time, what about the people you recruited? The roster is empty. Could it be that they didn't remember it? Go up?"

"this……"

When Liu Changtian saw Dongfang Ling standing aside, he hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't tell the truth about what he just saw.

"Hey, don't rely on your old age. Since you are still a civil servant in the escort team, you are my subordinate. When the superior officer asks you, you are still hesitating. Do you not want to do it anymore?"

Dongfang Ling is pretty and cold. She hates the kind of people who win in front of her based on their age and seniority. She has not seen such people in the city lord's mansion since she was a child, and she has dealt with no less than ten of them with her own hands. If Liu Changtian is like this, She really didn't mind killing the chicken to scare the monkeys and giving the guards a warning.

Seeing her aggressiveness, Liu Changtian seemed to have something to hide. Chu Yang said with a solemn expression: "Mr. Liu, please stop hiding it. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. Even if something happens, I will take care of it for you."

Liu Changtian had no choice but to say: "Then the old man will just tell you..."

Then, he recounted what had just happened in the places where the notices were posted.

After listening to his description, Chu Yang's face became more and more solemn, his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Next to him, Dongfang Ling's face turned dark, and his chest kept heaving. He was obviously very angry. He looked like a sign before a volcano was about to erupt.

"Some people say that the city lord... is a black-hearted evil spirit who exploits the people all day long. Now he wants to recruit people to do the scene. It is clear that he wants everyone to be cannon fodder. Such thoughts are so vicious. Some people say..."

"shut up!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Ling couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly.

After all, she is also a person in the Golden Core stage. Although her cultivation is not deep, the power she bursts out in anger is not something Liu Changtian can resist.

Seeing that the old man was about to be injured, Chu Yang quickly grabbed Dongfang Ling's outstretched palm and stopped her movements.

Dongfang Ling wanted to break free, but Chu Yang was much stronger than her and she couldn't succeed for a while. She had to struggle and shouted: "You are talking nonsense. My father is diligent and loves the people. He is the best person in the world. He It's just that I have to retreat and don't have time to take care of things, so the government affairs are a little neglected, so I'm not a black-hearted evil spirit!"
