After a month of digging in the dense forest, we finally arrived at Panyu City, the seat of Nanhai County.

However, Li Xiaofei and his men were all blocked outside Panyu City, and a team of soldiers was sent from the city to stop them and interrogate them.

"You said you are the governor of Nanhai County appointed by the imperial court? What evidence do you have?"

"Li has the edict written by the emperor himself and the seal given by the emperor here!"

"There are a lot of emperors now. We don't know which emperor sent you. You want to enter Nanhai County with a piece of yellow cloth and a stone. What a beautiful idea!"

"We are sent by Emperor Liu Jian of Daliang, please inform us!" Li Xiaofei said still neither humble nor overbearing.

"I can't tell if this is true or not, just wait!"

"Excuse me, what are we waiting for here?"

"Just wait for your mood. Your Majesty lost the fishing competition with Mr. Chen today and is in a bad mood. I'll see you again when he feels better!"

"Old Prince Chen? Who is Mr. Chen?"

"I think you are really ignorant. You are probably a fake. The world-famous General Chen Hongyi and Old General Chen were named the King of Anguo County. You don't even know this?"

"Hurry and help me report to Mr. Chen that Li Xiaofei has come to pay homage to him." After saying this, he took out a few gold leaves that had been hidden in his arms for a long time and handed them to the city defender.

The city defenders all looked straight. The man in front of them was wearing tattered clothes. He claimed to be sent by the imperial court, but he was able to take out a few gold leaves. It was definitely not easy.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to report right away. Someone is coming. Move a bench to the pavilion and wait for us!"

As he spoke, the city guard waved his hand, and the soldiers went to get a lot of fruits and handed them to the ragged people outside the city.

"Er Zhuzi, it's you, you're back!"

"Grandpa San, I am Ergou, you don't recognize me anymore?"

When the two parties took a closer look, they realized that most of them were relatives, so they had a pleasant conversation. Before the city defender could announce his return, the soldiers guarding the city were already taking them into the city to repair.

"Don't go into the city. We'll wait until they report back and allow us to enter the city!" Li Xiaofei quickly stopped them.

"Old Prince Chen! Someone has come from the capital with troops and horses, saying they want to see you!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, the prince is fishing!"

"Which bastard is here? I just had a fish bite, but you scared me away again! Disappointing!" Chen Wen said shyly and angrily.

"Awen, don't worry! The gold you lost to me today will be given to you by someone!" Chen Hongyi smiled while stroking his beard.

"Who is here and dares to disturb the old prince?" Chen Wen put down his fishing rod and asked.

"Your Majesty, the person calling himself Li Xiaofei is from Xiangyang, the capital city!"

Chen Hongyi also put down his fishing rod: "Who did you say is here? Say it again?"

The city guard was a little frightened and stammered: "Li, Li Xiaofei!"

"Haha, this kid is actually here, okay, hurry up, Awen, stop fishing, let's go pick up my apprentice together!"

When Chen Wen saw that Chen Hongyi was so excited, he naturally knew that the person coming was a big deal, so he also threw away his fishing rod and stood up.

Along the way, Chen Hongyi asked about Li Xiaofei's situation. After learning that Li Xiaofei and his party were in rags, Chen Hongyi looked at Chen Wen and said, "You, County Sima, have you brought some clothes and food to reward them?"

Chen Wen immediately ordered: "Come here, go to the treasury and get four thousand sets of clothes and five thousand stones of food and grass, and then sort out the Peking Camp to receive them!"

A group of people arrived at the city gate in an ox cart. Li Xiaofei saw Chen Hongyi sitting in the cart from a distance and immediately knelt down.

When Chen Hongyi arrived at the door, he jumped out and helped Li Xiaofei up.

"The bad disciple pays homage to his mentor!"

"Don't come here! Get up quickly, County Commander Chen Wen has brought you clothes and food, and your station is also being sorted out!"

Li Xiaofei's eyes were filled with tears. Chen Hongyi stretched out his hand to wipe his tears: "You are almost thirty, why are you crying!"

All the soldiers behind Li Xiaofei knelt down: "Commander Chen! We are back!"

Chen Hongyi took a closer look and saw that they were all soldiers from Lingnan: "Good sons and daughters of Nanhai! I, old man Chen, came back alone to enjoy a happy life and left you in the north. I'm sorry for you."

"Marshuai Chen is mighty! Following Marshal Chen is the honor of our lives!"

"Marshuai Chen is mighty!"

Chen Hongyi signaled several times, but the crowd still kept shouting, so he had to let them go.

After a while, dozens of ox carts arrived, dragging clothes. Chen Hongyi asked Chen Wen to come to the front of the army to deliver orders for the distribution of clothes.

Chen Wen coughed a few times: "Ahem, cough, well, you sons and daughters of Nanhai, you have suffered a lot. You can get these clothes and wear them first. Our Nanhai County treasury will give you some more in a few days!"

The soldiers calmed down and kept silent, only looking at Li Xiaofei and Chen Hongyi

Chen Hongyi laughed loudly: "Don't hold it back, hurry up, one person per team, line up, come one by one, lead one into the city one by one!"

After Chen Hongyi finished speaking, the soldiers automatically lined up to receive their clothes and slowly entered the city.

Li Xiaofei hesitated to speak, and Chen Hongyi laughed: "You kid, do you think these clothes are not suitable for you, the county guard?"

Li Xiaofei blushed and pointed to the two people not far away: "Master, my two wives are here too. It's not appropriate for them to wear this man's clothes!"

"Haha, you kid is so beautiful that you take your wife with you wherever you go. Ah Wen, quickly send someone to buy some sets of women's clothes, the best ones!" Chen Hongyi turned to Chen Wen and said

Chen Hongyi ordered, Chen Wen naturally obeyed immediately, and soon someone hurriedly brought some clothes.

Hong Rui and Murong Qing put on their new skirts and lowered their heads to pay homage to Chen Hongyi.

Chen Hongyi chuckled: "You two little girls, you are so stupid. You have traveled thousands of miles to follow this stupid boy and suffered a lot! But I have a lot of delicacies and rare treasures here. After you spend half a month to recuperate your stomach,

I will treat you well."

Murong Qing asked in confusion: "Why do we have to wait half a month to eat the old prince's delicious food? Isn't it available today?"

Li Xiaofei wanted Murong Qingshao to speak, but Hong Rui smiled: "Sister, there are a lot of seafood in the South China Sea, but we people have never eaten it. If we eat it rashly, we will definitely not be able to bear it. We must do it slowly and step by step!"

"This red girl is indeed knowledgeable and talented. Xiao Fei, let's go to the city first! There are still many days ahead!"

There were several bullock carts waiting here. Chen Wen's entourage invited Li Xiaofei and others onto the bullock carts and started heading towards the county governor's mansion.

Chen Wen's ox cart led the way, followed by Chen Hongyi, followed by Li Xiaofei and several lieutenants in the army.

In front of the county magistrate's house, many handymen were sweeping the place, and the pedestrians on the road had already stopped.

After all, no one has been to the Sheriff's Mansion for many years, and Chen Wen always handles official business in his own manor.

When Chen Wen led them into the governor's house, two wild cats were chasing mice on the roof, scattering a few tiles.

Chen Hongyi pointed to the house that was still being repaired and said: "I'm afraid this place hasn't been used for forty years. Xiaofei, you and the two girls are going to suffer!"

"Master, what are you talking about? You and Lord Sima have worked hard and spent a lot of money. Xiaofei is very grateful!" Li Xiaofei said and stretched out his hand towards Hongrui.

Stretching her fingers, Hongrui took out dozens of gold beads from her bag and handed them to Chen Wen.

"You can't do this, Lord Sheriff. It's my duty to clean and repair the Sheriff's Mansion. If I don't do my job well, I won't punish you. How dare you accept your reward?" Chen Wen said as he pushed.

Chen Hongyi grabbed Chen Wen and said: "Awen, you and Xiaofei are both my juniors, so don't do any drama, just accept it!"

Upon hearing Chen Hongyi's words, Chen Wen held up the golden beads with both hands, and Li Xiaofei also smiled: "I'm embarrassed in front of the Chen family! This is just a small thought of mine. Xiaofei has just arrived in Nanhai, and his life and fortune depend on his master and the county commander for his daily official duties."

"Adult"

Chen Hongyi patted Li Xiaofei on the head: "What you said has put our Chen family on the stove! We are not as scary as you think! Okay, today, Awen, a subordinate, will be the host and take over for the county governor Li.

Wash off the dust. The soldiers will take a ten-day holiday from now on to visit their relatives. In ten days, the Peking University Camp will be sorted out!"

Chen Hongyi arranged everything directly, and Li Xiaofei naturally agreed immediately: "Master is very considerate. I happen to be hungry too. Mr. County Sima, we have to go to your house to have dinner!"

Chen Hongyi stopped Li Xiaofei: "Wait a minute, I just suggest that you have to send someone to give this order, otherwise it will break the rules!"

Just when Li Xiaofei was about to say something humble, Chen Hongyi continued: "In this Nanhai City, Lord Li, the county guard, is the biggest! You all remember it!"

You guys obviously told this to Chen Wen and other people in the Chen family. It seems that Chen Hongyi sincerely supports Li Xiaofei.

After hearing this, Li Xiaofei took his token and said to Hua Xiaoan: "Hua Xiaoan, go and send an order to let the soldiers go home to visit relatives for ten days off and report to Peking Camp in ten days!"

Hua Xiao'an took the token and went to deliver the order. When the more than 2,900 people who followed Li Xiaofei came back, they heard the news and called Master Li for his strength.

They thought they could only go home for two or three days, but unexpectedly, Li Xiaofei actually gave them ten days of vacation.

After thanking each other, they packed their bags and went home.

Chen Wen led Chen Hongyi and Li Xiaofei to his manor. On the way, Li Xiaofei saw many waterwheels and windmills standing there, and many people were cutting grass and digging the ground. It seemed that the place was very stable.

Chen Wen's manor is actually not big. It is just surrounded by several fences. Many flowers are planted between the fences, and there are some fruit trees in between.

The three-story earth-and-wood round building in the center is Chen Wen's house.

There were four wells in the house, but in the center was an empty patio. It was getting late at that time, and a crescent moon happened to be reflected in the patio and the four wells.

Chen Wen's dinner was arranged in the open space outside the round building. The servants were busy arranging the tables, chairs and carpets, and began to serve the food again.

Because I had ordered Li Xiaofei and the others not to eat seafood these days, I only cooked roasted suckling pig, steamed goose, bird's nest porridge, crab claw porridge, braised chicken, fried loach, crucian carp soup, etc.

Chen Wen personally brought a large basin of rice wine: "Master Li, this is the best wine in Lingnan, but it is not as strong as the one in the Central Plains! Please don't dislike it, Master Li!"

Li Xiaofei took the rice wine and put it on the table: "Master County Sima is too polite! But Li has already sworn a vow not to drink alcohol, so please forgive me!"

Chen Hongyi smiled: "I thought you were going to disobey the emperor when you arrived in Nanhai! Haha, yes, you still remember the oath you swore in front of the emperor! Awen, I will give this rice wine to these two girls!"

Hong Rui and Murong Qing were not polite, they took the rice wine served by the servant and drank it.
Chapter completed!
