A few people wandered around looking for something, and before they knew it, they came to a densely populated place. Following the surprisingly consistent footsteps of others, Ajuan wanted to lead the few people behind him to take a closer look, and unexpectedly found a wide avenue separated among the crowd. People lined up on both sides of the avenue, as if they were crossing the street to welcome someone.
It was full of people and noisy. Some people happened to be drinking tea in a high-rise inn next to the avenue, and they all leaned out to join in the fun; the children, because they were short and weak, had to climb to the top of the tree to get a glimpse; the women put on their clothes The most beautiful clothes are waiting in the most conspicuous position, just so that the husband on the battlefield can meet his eyes in the sea of people. Suddenly, the middle of the long and wide road seemed to become the center of the world. Who can enjoy such treatment? The answer is self-explanatory.
Seeing this battle, Ajuan looked very much like himself when he was greeted in Yanzi Town. He was immediately overjoyed. He left his friends aside and jumped into the crowd. He randomly found a young man who looked like a loyal and good man. He asked: "My lord, my lord! What's going on in such a lively manner?"
"Girl, when I look at you, I know that the girl is from out of town, right?" The handsome young man smiled back, and saw Ajuan paused, shook his folding fan, and then continued: "This is all to welcome us. Hero! The emperor went on a personal expedition, vowing to cut off Yuwentai's head and restore peace to the world. I don't know what the situation was like when I returned from the Western Expedition, so after hearing that the emperor was coming here for temporary repairs, everyone gathered spontaneously , we all have to see with our own eyes the soldiers fighting on the front lines.”
"Oh! I understand..." After hearing this, Ajuan poked his head into the crowd, looking at the west direction of the avenue with all his eyes, as if he had become one of those ladies who are looking forward to their husband's return. One of them has completely forgotten everything.
Seeing her foolish look, the strange young man realized that there was something to be gained. First, he observed the other party's staggered body curves, then he got close to her body, made a very kind expression, and said: "Girl, I think the silver jewelry on your body is very exquisite. For my sake Miss, for the sake of clearing up my doubts, can you sell it to me cheaper?" After that, he took out a piece of contract paper from his chest and continued: "The contract is ready, I just need you and me to sign it. That’s it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Kuo suddenly appeared and snatched away the contract paper. At the same time, he protected the frightened Ajuan behind him and said angrily: "In broad daylight, someone dares to occupy the land in front of me, Zhao Kuo." Are others cheaper?"
"Who are you?" The young master shook his folding fan angrily and said, "This is between me and that girl. What does it have to do with you, young master?"
"Um... This really has nothing to do with me..." Zhao Kuo glanced at Ajuan behind him and said: "But if she is deceived into working as a cow or a horse, that would be a big deal! Her mother and Grandma, I have to break my legs! So, this is still a matter of life."
The three of them refuted each other. After a while, Bai Feng and his party came to the side and asked what happened. Seeing that there were so many people on the other side, the young master took advantage of them and ran away, disappearing into the sea of people.
Seeing that the guy disappeared, Ajuan began to sigh and complained to Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo, why did you drive others away? The slave family saw that your money bag was getting low, so I wanted to take away the jewelry on you. Sell it and get some cash. You'd better drive the buyer away!"
"You silly girl! Look what's written on this contract?" After Zhao Kuo said this, he spread out the piece of paper he had snatched from the runaway man and read: "I am willing to sacrifice my life in exchange for A hearty meal and warm food…”
"Is this a contract of betrayal?" Ajuan complained to herself and cried: "How can the people here be so cunning..." After saying this, Ajuan anxiously hugged the little girl beside him and murmured some words of reproach to himself.
The weather was very hot at this time, and most of the people crowded in the crowd were a little impatient. Many people took off their coats and became naked. Sweating. If it hadn't been for bursts of cheers that suddenly came from a distance, many people would have fainted from the heat.
"Everyone, please give way. The army has already entered the city!"
"Look, look, it's General Gao Gao, and General Murong An!"
"It's General Murong! General Murong, the slave family is here..."
I saw two horses and horses walking in front. One of them had black hair and a long beard, fierce eyebrows and a short nose. His arms were extremely thick and he was holding a halberd. He was very powerful. The other one had yellow hair and no beard, a fair face, flat eyebrows and a high nose. Even though he is wearing heavy armor, he is still elegant and decent. He wears a high bun with the mighty soldiers beside him and holds a battle helmet in his hand. They look very similar, but they are completely different in every way. Behind him are the cavalry who are also riding horses. Behind one man were soldiers wearing iron armor and buns, while behind the other man were yellow-haired Xianbei Qingqi wearing leather armor.
As long as these two people passed by, countless people would shout and call. However, from the dull look on their faces, we could tell that such a welcome did not make them very happy.
"Who are these two?" Bai Feng couldn't help but ask.
The villagers on the side were very excited when they saw the two generals. They were even more surprised by Bai Feng's ignorance and replied: "Aren't these two generals appointed by the emperor? They have killed countless enemies for the country. Then The one holding the halberd is Gao Gao, General Gao, who is known as the "reincarnation of Xiang Ji". The Gao family army under his rule is the pride of us Han people! The other one is Murong An, General Murong, whose tongue is like a lotus flower and his magic. He plotted ghost strategies and achieved miraculous achievements many times. What is more worth talking about is his handsome face, which is really admirable. You see, there are very few girls and young women following him over there! On weekdays, he When he went out to perform official duties in the city, in the streets and alleys, there were thousands or hundreds of people, all of them admired him and gathered like a sea..."
The listeners heard the news and went away, and saw that there were indeed many women following the yellow-haired general, but he just smiled politely in return and said nothing. And Gao Gao beside him was expressionless and gloomy.
Shao Qing, the cavalry team that was still energetic walked past, and what was about to be greeted was a series of staggering scenes of embarrassment. The soldiers behind the cavalry all walked very slowly, with very small steps, and they walked with their knees stretched and their bodies hunched, as if this road was more difficult than the hell on earth they had walked: they had no hope. To his own people, his own wife and children.
The soldiers lowered their faces and stretched their foreheads as far forward as possible so that they could see the road clearly. The weapons in the hands may be broken, and the armor on the body may be broken. The wounded soldiers were not even holding weapons, but wooden crutches; they were wearing bandages instead of armor. There are countless others...
This situation caused the people who were originally excited and expecting to give up their original hopes and turned into a disgusting sympathy. This kind of sympathy is filled with the atmosphere of despair all the time. Especially under the cries of those women who are eagerly waiting for their husbands, the despair becomes more concrete.
"Didn't you say they are very powerful? Why are they all like this?" Zhao Xiaomei's innocent voice revealed a bloody fact. It made the people nearby sigh and laugh.
"Little sister, please stop talking..." Ajuan on the side quickly pulled her to his side, "This is obviously a defeat!"
"I didn't expect you to be smart for once!" Zhao Kuo joked from the side: "Let's go, there is nothing to see, and the emperor will definitely not appear here. After all, this is the third time he has started a war with several times the opponent's strength. Then lost.”
"It seems that Brother Zhao knows very well!" Bai Fenghe said.
"That's natural. If a businessman doesn't understand state affairs, how can he accomplish great things?"
After speaking, they returned to the carriage and started looking for an inn to stay. Seeing that the miserable welcome ceremony was about to end, I planned to pass through that road and ask where there was a good place to go.
