Xiao Chen had nothing to say, and he also knew that Ji Hongluan had a stubborn temper, and just like Ji Yunlan, the things he decided would not change.
Since you can't stop it, just agree.
"Okay, let me put on my armor first."
After getting dressed, Xiao Chen walked out holding his helmet.
He is majestic and heroic, quite a bit like a young hero, and can make people confused at a glance.
Who would have thought that such a person would actually have the identity of a eunuch, even though it was a fake one.
After being stunned for a moment, Yuluo suddenly pounced forward: "Sir, please ask this slave to follow you."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly: "Yuluo, stop making trouble."
"Hong Luan has martial arts skills and the ability to protect herself, but if you follow her, I'm afraid I won't have time to care about your comfort."
Ji Hongluan said quickly: "I can just stay on the boat. I just hope that I can accompany you on the longest journey to get further and feel the seductive death."
Her eyes are like hooks, and those who hook them are helpless.
How could he remain indifferent to such a pitiful beauty?
"That's all, then you can come along."
He took out some more money and gave it to her, "Take the money to send those women back yesterday."
I don’t know how long it will take to return to Jiangdong.
This war with great disparity in strength is destined to be a protracted tug-of-war.
After everything was ready, Xiao Chen mounted his horse, with Qing Hongluan on the left, Jin Chengzhong on the right, Yu Luo and Lin Xian behind him, and behind them were their accompanying troops.
There was a long line of people on the street, marching towards the pier in an orderly manner.
Ahead, Wei Baian had been waiting for a long time and drove his horse to meet him.
The two were walking side by side, but Xiao Chen suddenly stopped.
Looking at the people gradually gathering around them, they were extremely angry and a little overwhelmed, and their eyes were filled with perch and admiration.
After taking a breath, Xiao Chen said, "Governor Wei, we still have a line of defense that we haven't done well."
Wei Baian was confused, "All the military supplies have been fully prepared, and the warships have been parked side by side at the dock waiting for everything. We are just waiting to embark on the journey. Is there anything wrong?"
The preparations for the battle have been perfected, but these ordinary people have lost their shelter.
As soon as Wei Baian left, he was afraid that if those Japanese people did not follow martial ethics and carried out a sneak attack on innocent people suffering from cholera, they would be unable to fight back.
Wei Baian suddenly realized, and quickly reminded: "Lin Xian organized a group of rebels in training before, and they may be able to take on the responsibility of the company to protect the people."
Xiao Chen shook his head, "This is not enough."
They don't have rich combat experience, so it may be difficult to resist.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chen suggested: "Why don't we allocate another 20,000 people from our well-trained army to garrison here to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks."
"Protecting the people is the reason why we eliminate them. If something happens to them, our efforts will be meaningless."
Protecting them is equivalent to protecting the team's weakness.
Hearing what he said, An was silent and didn't know what to say.
After a while, he said: "Our 100,000-strong army does not have much advantage. If we allocate another group of people to stay in Jiangdong..."
It was really hard for him to imagine how to win this battle?
"There are things that a real man does and things he does not do. If we ignore the safety of the people for the sake of killing, the blood we shed will only increase the sorrow."
His voice was generous and powerful, and it deeply shocked Wei Baian's soul.
Finally, he took a deep breath and said calmly: "If that's the case, then it's as you said."
Wei Baian immediately shouted loudly: "Left Pioneer, you are responsible for protecting the safety of the people stationed in Jiangdong. If you encounter Japanese people coming to raid, send a message and report immediately!"
A young boy wearing armor hurriedly rode forward: "I accept your orders!"
The common people who were looking around were completely confused this time.
Everyone was so moved that they were in a mess.
Some people were wiping their tears, and their sadness was palpable: "We are at a disadvantage in this war, and our chances of victory are not high, but Governor Xiao is not stingy about using people to protect our safety..."
"A person with such righteousness is our true protector!"
"My lords, you must return victoriously and safely!"
The common people burst into tears and some hugged each other for comfort.
At this moment, the emperor or the court were no longer the ones they relied on.
Only Xiao Chen, who truly serves the people, is the belief in their hearts!
"Fellows and fellow villagers, don't worry, this is just a bystander, and it's okay to do your job."
"Everyone, don't send me away. Let's go back and do our own thing."
Xiao Chen waved his hand and looked at Wei Baian. The two horses continued to lead the team behind them, walking side by side.
But the people behind him had no intention of leaving.
Instead, they gathered behind them and tried their best to send the heroes in their minds to the final journey.
All the way to the dock, various military forces boarded the warship one after another, and Xiao Chen, Wei Baian and others also boarded the main ship.
When you are inside the hull, you can see as far as the eye can see, as if you are in a huge courtyard.
Resting, eating, and kitchen are all available.
After everyone boarded the ship, Xiao Chen stood on the bow and looked into the distance, where the sea and the sky met, a vast expanse of blue.
Hearing the voices full of expectations and encouragement behind him, the crowd gathered.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen said impassionedly: "Set the sails! Set sail!"
As the horn blew, the faint sound rolled from the horizon and spread endlessly.
The waves in the water began to roll back and forth, instantly creating a splash of several feet.
Hundreds of boatmen on the bottom of the boat, with their bare and thick arms, chanted uniform slogans while vigorously stirring the oars.
The boat moved slowly.
Dozens of ships on the left and right were also sailing into the endless distance at the same time.
As the sun rises in the east, the common people stand there, feeling ups and downs.
Watching those ships until their figures became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared at the end of the sea and sky.
"Sir, it's cold on the sea, why don't you put on some clothes?"
Yu Luo gave a cloak and gently fell on Xiao Chen, her voice was soft and gentle.
The wind blew his hair flying, but it couldn't blow away the tension and sadness on his face.
Not to mention Wei Baian next to him, sitting on the bow of the boat and drinking a lot without stopping.
"Governor Wei, as the saying goes, you can use wine to relieve your sorrow and make your sorrow worse. Why should you use this thing of wine to numb yourself?"
Xiao Chen leaned over and took a cup and drank it into his throat.
Wei Baian couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "Aren't you drinking too?"
"That's different. I enjoy leisure and elegance, while you are looking for trouble."
