Chapter 402 The Mysterious Man Is Guo Jia!!

In an ordinary wine shop in Dongye City, Kuaiji County.

"Lao Li, Lao Huang, have you seen the news on the county bulletin board?" A drinker with a ruddy face said loudly to two familiar old friends beside him, his tone was quite happy.

"I saw it! The public notice issued by the Yangzhou Governor's Office, the former Kuaiji County Governor Xu Zhao, has been beheaded, and the Xu Zhao Rebellion is over!" An old man around the wine table breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, the rebellion is finally over!"

"For the past few dozen days, my family has not dared to go far away, but just stayed at home to prevent accidents. Now it's good. Once the bandit leader and the bandits are eliminated, our county will be able to return to peace soon, and it should be no problem to go to other cities at that time!"

"Old Huang, don't go far away recently. Although most of the rebels in the county have been wiped out, there will still be sporadic bandits. Let's talk about it after a while. I heard that some rebels often wreak havoc and plunder outside the city, which is very dangerous!"

"Yes! I also heard that in the hard-hit areas in the north, many ordinary people, even the nobles and wealthy families, were robbed by the rebels. Property, food, etc. were all taken away, which was very tragic!"

"Alas... Fortunately, we are not in the north of the county. After suffering from the war, I don’t know how to live."

"By the way, I heard from my relatives on duty in the government that there may be a public execution in Shanyin City in the near future to chop off the heads of some bandits. !”

“What? Beheading? I have never heard of this news. In this case, those officials are preparing to behead people and show them to the public for deterrence!”

“Whether it is deterrence or other things, it is none of our business anyway, as long as we can enjoy our old age! Fortunately, we have Lord Lin Mu Sima in Dongye County, which protects us from the ravages of war. It is a blessing for us to have Sima Lin in Dongye County!”

“Haha... Yes, it is a blessing for everyone to have Sima Lin in Dongye County. Among the imperial army that is fighting against the rebels this time, there are Lord Lin Sima’s troops. Maybe Xu Zhao’s head was chopped off by Lord Sima!”

“It would be great if that were the case. By then, with this merit, he might be promoted to the county magistrate of our county and become our parent official!”

“Yes, yes!”

“…”

Whether in the wine shop, at home, or on the street, the common people or the nobles and nobles are discussing the recent major event, the Xu Zhao Rebellion, enthusiastically.

On the fifth day after Xu Zhao was killed, Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, received the news. After Liu Yao learned that Xu Zhao's rebellion had been suppressed, he immediately sent a messenger to inform the whole county and even the whole state. At the same time, he also asked for merit from the Dragon Court early!

The people who received the news were all jubilant. For them, the sooner the rebels were suppressed, the better, so that they would not have to worry all day long.

Without the threat of war, Dongye County has also returned to its usual prosperity and bustle. In some ways, it is even more prosperous than before the war.

Dongye City is one of the fifteen cities that returned to the Dragon Court camp of the Han Dynasty earlier, so many small and medium-sized families will take refuge here, which has brought huge benefits to the prosperity of Dongye County.

The people walking on the street are no longer solemn as before, and they are smiling and relaxed. The street is full of a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

…

In Qinglin Street in the south of Dongye City, Lin Mu, who was slightly disguised, walked on the street with five tiger generals who were also disguised, and also felt the noise and peace of the street.

Originally, after summoning the five tiger generals today, Lin Mu rushed straight to Qinglin Street.

However, the people on the street recognized Lin Mu after seeing him without any disguise.

The enthusiastic people thanked Lin Mu in various ways, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Helpless Lin Mu and others, relying on their extraordinary strength, got out of the crowd and fled. At lightning speed, they got to a remote place, immediately disguised themselves, and dared to walk back to the street, looking quite embarrassed.

"It seems that our Great Wilderness Territory's layout in Dongye County has achieved good results!" Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Chang keeps promoting the lord from the side, slowly influencing the people, and at the critical moment, the final decision can be made!" Yu Jin smiled after listening carefully.

Along the way, in wine shops, teahouses, stalls and other places, everyone heard the people's enthusiastic discussions, many of which were praising Lin Mu.

After participating in the Xu Zhao Rebellion Campaign, after discussions with Chang Yin, Xu Yuan, Huang Wen and others, they promoted Lin Mu in Dongye City, Houguan City and other cities.

Publicize Lin Mu's appearance, achievements, benevolent deeds, etc., in order to leave a deep impression on the people.

Chang Yin and others made such a layout, nothing else, just to increase Lin Mu's reputation and give the people in the nearby areas a good impression.

In a subtle way, they began to identify with Lin Mu and support Lin Mu. In the long run, it will be of great help to Lin Mu's control of Kuaiji County.

Before, Chang Yin and others may have considered some sensitive issues, and they were secretly promoting Lin Mu intentionally or unintentionally.

Now, after confirming the position of the county magistrate of Dongye County, Chang Yin directly arranged his men to promote Lin Mu openly.

There is no need to consider those sensitive issues in your own territory.

…

While Lin Mu and his six companions were sympathizing with the people along the way, in a small and elegant courtyard at No. 72 Qinglin Street, a burly middle-aged man with a calm face and a young man in a green Confucian robe sat opposite each other at a stone table.

The young man in the Confucian robe had a smile on his face and buried his head to make tea for the middle-aged man, but his movements were quite stiff.

Although the young man's movements were stiff, his tea-making skills were precise. He had obviously practiced tea before, but was just unfamiliar, as if he hadn't made tea for others in a long time.

"Senior, please have some tea." After making the tea himself, the young man was quite respectful and gently handed it to the tea pot.

"In this desolate place, there is nothing good to offer seniors, only a cup of crude tea. Seniors, don't be offended!" the young man said softly.

"It's okay, I just came to see you. I thought you would entertain me with wine, but I didn't expect you would drink tea, haha..." the middle-aged man smiled boldly.

The young man shook his head slightly and smiled, but said nothing.

If Lin Mu were here, he would definitely recognize the two of them!

They are clearly Ying Long Long Chu and Guo Jia!

"The injury on your soul... is quite serious!" Long Chu took a sip of tea and stared at Guo Jiadao.

Obviously, this was also the first time Long Chu met Guo Jia.

Long Chu didn't ask why Guo Jia was so seriously injured, and Guo Jia didn't say much about the reason. He just chatted with Long Chu.

"It's quite tricky. There is currently no good way to cure it. I just follow the classics and come to the south to find a way to recover." Guo Jia took a sip of tea and said calmly, as if he was not the one who was injured.

"Are you just here to treat your injuries?" Long Chu asked with a smile on his lips.

"Senior is very aware of the situation. On the one hand, healing the injuries on the body is on the one hand. On the other hand, I also want to see how a certain purple star rises and shines in the starry sky!" Guo Jiayi pointed out, with a flash of confidence on his face.

"Are you so confident that this purple star can reflect the starry sky?" Long Chu said with a smile.

"Senior doesn't think so too!" Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he looked at Long Chu.

Hearing this, Long Chu was silent, looked at Guo Jia, and then suddenly said: "Young man Lin Mu is so lucky!"

When Guo Jia heard Long Chu's words, he smiled and said, "Yes, General Lin is a blessed man!"

He called Lin Mu a general, not a Sima, because he thought that after this battle, Lin Mu would become a real general!

"You guys are always like this. To put it nicely, it means you do things before you act! To put it lightly, it means you are sour!" A trace of depression flashed across Long Chu's face and he said: "You came all the way here, don't you do it directly? He came to the door, but he went to act like a soldier. He did so many things, it’s true.”

"If you had been involved in this battle, Ling Cao, Ling Tong, his father and his son, and even Xu Huang, might have joined the Dahuang territory!" Long Chu meant something, regardless of whether Guo Jia knew about Ling Cao, Ling Tong, his father, Xu Huang, etc. Who is he? Tell him directly.

After hearing this, Guo Jia pondered for a few breaths, shook his head, and said: "General Lin has done a good job in this battle. With or without me, there is not much difference in the final result. In a way , the three of them have no relationship with General Lin."

"Forget it, these are your juniors' business, I won't get involved. I just came here to see your injuries up close." Long Chu waved his hands and said, his face returned to calmness.

The conversation between Long Chu and Guo Jia seemed very familiar, as if it had already been settled.

Guo Jia nodded, and then asked softly: "Senior, can the energy of the dragon vein be useful for my soul injury?"

"It's useful, but the original dragon energy of the first stage [Yellow Veins Qi Dragon] has been absorbed by my descendants. You can only wait until the dragon veins are promoted to [Xuanling Dragon Veins] to get the trace of the original dragon energy that is born. ." Long Chu's face returned to Gujing Wubo's expression, and he said softly.

"That's great!" Guo Jia said in a calm tone. Although he looked calm and indifferent on the surface, he still breathed a small sigh of relief in his heart.

"Your guests are here, I won't disturb you!" Long Chu said lightly if he felt something, and then disappeared in a flash.

After Long Chu disappeared, Guo Jia still stared at the empty place, wondering what he was thinking.

…

"Lord, this courtyard is No. 72." Yu Jin pointed to a simple courtyard in front of him.

"Well, this is it." Looking at the door number, Lin Mu nodded.

After a while, Lin Mu took a deep breath and walked up to knock on the door.

After a while, the courtyard door opened, and what came into view was a very familiar face!

Seeing this familiar face, Lin Mu's pupils shrank suddenly, and a huge wave arose in his heart!

Jiang Nong, the alchemist beside Guo Jia also serves as a servant! This was Lin Mu's first reaction when he saw this familiar face.

In this life, Lin Mu had never met Jiang Nong. He could recognize him at a glance because he paid great attention to Guo Jia and the people around him in his previous life, so he was so familiar with them.

Obviously, the mysterious person is Guo Jia!

Ghost, Guo Jia!
