North of Xingcheng and above the Ya River, merchant ships are not allowed to enter the harbor on this day.
Because huge warships were plying between the north and south banks of Yashui, almost in a line, transporting batches of elite soldiers armed with swords and armor from the north bank to the south bank. Looking from a distance, it seemed that they were in this wide A floating bridge was built over the vast Yashui.
The soldiers were all elites. During the entire troop transportation process, except for the officers at all levels shouting orders from time to time, no unnecessary sounds were made. They lined up to board the ship, then lined up to disembark, and then quietly left the port and blended into the sea. The streets and alleys of Xingcheng have replaced the Yongchang soldiers who originally defended the city. They are so familiar that they seem to be the defenders on duty here.
The Yongchang soldiers who had been replaced with the responsibility of defending the city did not resist or struggle. They just lowered their heads and silently returned to the military camp one by one, waiting for their general to bring them a new leader.
At this moment, Song Ningshan, the general of Xingcheng who was appointed by the prefect of Yongchang County, was leading two generals and a group of captains, as well as the few civil servants in the city, waiting outside the west gate of Xingcheng with a serious face. . xь.
Song Ningshan stood first. He was a tall man with a square face. His face was very red, his eyebrows were very thick, and his beard was half-long. He had a rigid expression. He was wearing a bright silver armor engraved with array patterns, and he looked quite majestic.
He stood motionless, indifferent to everything that was happening in the city. He just looked at the two figures who finally appeared on the official road in the distance, saluted from a distance, and then knelt down meticulously to pay homage to the Lord.
Behind him, two assistant generals, a group of captains and several civil servants followed suit and bowed respectfully.
The person who was being knelt down and paid allegiance to by everyone was naturally Yun Bailou, who had just met Luochuan. There was a slight sweat on his forehead as he walked along. He saw everyone kneeling down from a distance, but he did not speed up his pace because of it. He was so unhurried and unhurried. Walking, "They say Wangshan is a dead horse. Walking this distance, which originally didn't seem that far, was a bit strenuous."
The brown-robed woman who was walking next to Yun Bailou replied, "Young master usually neglects to practice, but to have such physical strength is considered extraordinary."
Yun Bailou smiled and didn't take it seriously.
The brown-robed woman seemed unable to bear it any longer. The broad hat of her cloak trembled a few times, and finally she said softly, "Sir, you can't act like this anymore. The shadow next to Luo Chuan, although It must have just been a breakthrough, but...I still feel a dangerous aura from her..."
"Oh?" Yun Bailou looked at the people kneeling outside the gate of Xingcheng City and the Guangjun flag that was being replaced on the city wall, and asked, "I remember that you have commented on this master of the ANBU before, saying that although she has some Talented, but not that great?”
The woman in brown robe shook her head, "Ever since this woman followed Luo Chuan, every time I see her, the aura on her body becomes much thicker."
Yun Bailou said softly, "Perhaps this is the benefit of staying next to someone with great luck."
The woman in brown robe suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Bailou, and then said in a trembling voice, "Young Master is the biggest luck bearer in Hanzhou in the southwest and even in the entire Central Continent. It is true that the shadow is getting stronger, but I have not stopped waiting. she!!"
"Of course," Yun Bailou also turned to look at her and responded with a smile.
But the brown-robed woman seemed unable to stop, and asked again, "Sir, if Luochuan really recaptures Heyu City, do you really... let him go?!"
Yun Bailou did not answer this question, but looked up at the moon in the daytime and said, "When I was a child, Aunt Yue once told me that if a person like me really wants to do something If you focus on one thing and focus on it, you must be very, very powerful. I tried it later, and sure enough, I was really better than others."
"What I can easily do, those who laugh at me can't do it at all," Yun Bailou said with a smile, "Then I realized how important it is for me to punish those people in this world. Simple."
"After all, there are more fools in this world. Many, many more fools. For such people, it doesn't matter what means you use or what kind of things you do to them." Yun Bailou said lightly. Sigh, "But you
It is very difficult to meet someone who can know you and understand you, someone who can help you when you are in trouble in the future, so if you can meet it, then you must cherish it. "
The brown-robed woman seemed to understand, but she turned to look at Yun Bailou's side face for a long time.
After a while, Yun Bailou and the others came to Song Ningshan and others. When they helped him up, the civil servants at the end of the queue were already shaking because they had been kneeling for too long and could hardly stand up.
"General Song," Yun Bailou retracted his hand, put it behind his back again, and asked in a gentle voice, "How are things going in the city?"
Song Ningshan puffed out his chest and performed a military salute, "Reporting to the young master, the general has been waiting for you outside the city since this morning. He has not yet learned about the situation in the city, but the soldiers in the city have been cleaned, and the general's order has been conveyed. Even the commander is at the same level as the corps commander, and he also said that anyone who disobeys the order will be killed, and the three tribes will be punished, so there should be no problems in the affairs of the city."
Yun Bailou praised him, looked at the officers and civil servants behind Song Ningshan and said, "This morning, when the Guangjun army was crossing the river, a captain said, 'Song Ningshan can only raise a dog.'" He paused here. , seeing everyone except Song Ningshan lower their heads, he continued, "Unfortunately, I heard this, and I asked his general to take him back and break three whips."
"I have always looked down upon those generals who led their men to die generously," Yun Bailou said, "Lu Dongfeng and Wei Changhe, the only two famous generals in Southwest Hanzhou, are not such people, and neither is Song Ningshan. He is the general who can find a better way for his men to live a better life. For this, he does not hesitate to bear the infamy. This kind of courage is no less than anyone else." Xiu Shu.com
He raised his head again to look at the bright moon and said in a calm voice, "General Song, you gave me a prosperous city, but I don't want you to stay here. It's not because you are not good enough, but because you are destined to defend this city." The three-sided city of Guangzhou cannot give you a chance to prove yourself to everyone. You need such an opportunity to gain solid military exploits in the direction of opening up territory for our Guang County and stop the mouths of all those who dare to speak nonsense. , do it just like I did before, do you have confidence in this?"
Song Ningshan knelt down on one knee without hesitation, "General, have confidence!"
"Very good." Yun Bailou didn't lower his head to look at anyone. "Take your people to the military camp in the city, gather half of them, cross the river and go north. Someone will tell you where to go and where to hide."
Song Ningshan banged his fist on his left breastplate, then stood up and strode towards the city. Behind him, a group of generals and captains followed him solemnly, leaving only a few civil servants who looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to deal with themselves.
Yun Bailou ignored them, but murmured in a voice that only he and the brown-robed woman next to him could hear, "It's hard to prosper the city. It's just the name that's to blame..."
