Chapter 56: The County Magistrate's Apology
"Why don't you, a good official?"
Zhao Xiaoyu was surprised.
"I originally thought so too. I felt that it would be more convenient to have an official body to deal with things, manage interpersonal relationships, or strike up conversations and communicate with some people. But after seeing the kung fu of the old timers, I realized that as long as If you are strong enough, what does it matter whether you are an official or not?”
Ding Ling activated her acting skills at full level and showed great confidence:
"As long as I become the best general in the world, many people will ask me to become an official!"
Zhao Xiaoyu, Zhao Yun and others suddenly realized it, and then nodded in agreement, feeling that what they said made sense!
In troubled times.
An army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.
Everyone knows this.
And the most powerful general in the world is extremely hard to find!
If Ding Ling becomes the best general in the world, countless people will definitely rush to send him to the official position! ’
Think so.
Zhao Yun and others couldn't help but recognize Ding Ling's thinking mode more and more.
Ding Ling didn't explain any more and just said:
"It's just that now that Dong Xuan has to suffer the consequences, there is no need for General Hu Ben to resign. I will keep him for the time being. I don't think he will be of any use."
I had reason to resign before!
After all, Dong Xuan was almost openly dissatisfied with him.
He could simply say that he was suppressed by Shangguan and was not suitable for the job of guard general, and then leave directly.
There is no reason to resign now.
Naturally, Ding Ling was too lazy to resign. There was no harm in staying, only benefits, so why should he resign?
…
It was just as Ding Ling expected.
Within a few hours.
Dong Xuan personally came to Zhaojiacun with a team of soldiers and horses to apologize to Ding Ling.
He looked embarrassed and ashamed, and did not dare to look directly at Ding Ling.
Because of his complaint, he and Ding Ling can now be said to be incompatible.
Even if he apologizes, I believe Ding Ling will not trust him.
Just like his mental state.
Even though he made amends and apologized, he still felt a knot in his heart and cared about it.
And Dong Xuan only needs to maintain a superficial relationship, so that at least his life can be bearable.
But Ding Ling would not coddle him. He directly took his military symbols, gifts, etc., and then told him:
"You can get out."
"...!!"
Dong Xuan paused, and a ball of fire suddenly burst out in his heart. He endured it again and again, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, snorted angrily, and walked away.
"hehe."
Ding Ling disagreed.
There is no record of Dong Xuan in the Three Kingdoms, so he must have died. There is no need to pay attention to this dead man Ding Ling.
Anyway, he can't get any achievement medals on him.
"Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"
Zhao Yun was a little worried.
"If he wanted revenge, he would have done so long ago."
Ding Ling said:
"But he doesn't dare. Pan Feng, Jushu and others have jointly warned him. Unless he wants to die, he doesn't dare to touch me. On the contrary, he really hopes that I can be more stable.
Because if something goes wrong with me, the first person Pan Feng, Ju Shou and Xun Chen will look for will still be him! "
"I see."
Zhao Yun was relieved.
He seemed to still have a lot of doubts.
Ding Ling directly took the military talisman and rode towards the direction of Zhending City:
"Okay, follow me to the barracks. We will try to wipe out the banditry near Zhaojiacun within three days. In this way, you can follow me to Luoyang with peace of mind."
Zhao Yun was refreshed and immediately urged the Yezhao Jade Lion to follow him.
Zhao Feng, Zhao Xiaoyu, and Zhao Bingxuan also followed.
Zhao Feng is also a second-rate military general, and he is more than enough to be a general in the barracks.
Ding Ling is ready to promote him.
In this case, Zhao Feng led troops and horses to guard Zhaojiacun and Zhending City, and ordinary gangsters would not dare to get too close.
After all, no one likes hard work!
…
Blink.
Just two days passed.
During this period, Ding Ling wrote several letters and asked players and NPCs to send them to Yecheng to Pan Feng, Xun Chen and others.
The reason why players and NPCs are allowed to deliver letters.
It's because the roads are not peaceful now, and there are many people who are intercepted and killed while delivering messages, so players are relatively smarter.
But players are not very stable, and it is common for some players to disappear halfway.
So some more NPCs were sent to deliver it, just to make it more appropriate.
The content of the letter is nothing more than the hope that Pan Feng, Xun Chen and others can take more care of Zhaojiacun, and at the same time hope that they can be assigned a few lieutenants.
Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng are very suitable.
Hopefully they can convince Jizhou Mu to agree.
The day after the letter was written.
Ding Ling led two thousand soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the bandits near Zhaojiacun.
The siege lasted for two days.
During this period, countless thieves and bandits were killed, and several weapons and armors, dozens of maids, and a few medicinal materials were seized.
The house of the maids was destroyed.
Ding Ling placed them in Zhaojiacun.
As for the captured equipment and armor, Ding Ling also gave them directly to the villagers in Zhaojiacun and asked them to arm an elite squad.
The people of Zhaojiacun are inherently brave.
This time with weapons and armor, he looked even more powerful. This is a force that Ding Ling can recruit at any time in the future.
And medicinal materials?
Ding Ling washed it directly and ate it raw.
Kaz! Kaz!
After eating a piece of ginseng in one bite, Ding Ling felt that his limbs and bones began to slowly heat up.
But it's because the Spiritual Phoenix Breathing Technique has reached Dzogchen and can operate independently to absorb the power of the medicine.
As soon as ginseng enters the stomach, the medicinal power in it begins to be extracted and refined.
The medicinal power enters the skin and meridians.
Ding Ling can clearly feel that his physical fitness is improving.
However, this feeling of heat only lasts for a few breaths.
Ding Ling carefully looked at the character panel.
There is no change at all!
"It seems that there are fewer medicinal materials!"
Ding Ling thought.
Then he swallowed all the medicinal materials raw.
He is now extremely powerful, and his digestion ability is naturally terrifying. In addition, many medicinal materials taste the same as "wild vegetables", so it does not affect digestion.
The most important thing is that the Linghuang Breathing Method has the ability to absorb the medicinal power, so Ding Ling can eat it raw without worry.
The Linghuang Breathing Method that has reached the perfect Ruyi realm has this power.
The Linghuang Breathing Method that is slightly less comprehensible may need to refine the medicinal materials before absorbing the medicinal power through the medicinal bath.
And this?
Not only is it time-consuming, laborious and mentally exhausting!
It will also waste a lot of medicinal power.
Swallowing directly can perfectly absorb all the medicinal power!
But even so
All the herbs went into his stomach.
Ding Ling's character panel also changed slightly.
[Strength +0.1]
[Defense +0.1]
Only two aspects were increased by 0.1.
Ding Ling knew that the herbs must be too common for the bandits. There were only a few ginsengs, the most precious ones.
Most of the others were ordinary herbs. How could they satisfy the cultivation and absorption of the Spirit Phoenix Breathing Method?
"It's better than nothing."
Ding Ling clenched his fist slightly, feeling that his strength had improved a little, and he was quite satisfied.
"It's time to prepare to go to Luoyang."
Ding Ling cheered up.
"I'll leave as soon as Pan Feng and Tian Feng's reply arrives."
