At the end of the hour, a horse galloped out of the west gate.

On the tower of the city, under the tower of the city, many meaningful eyes watched it disappear into the mountains.

On the tallest building in the city, Ying Xuemei kept looking at the west gate, and when Yang Fengqing ran out of the city gate, she seemed to feel something, and gently stroked her stomach: "Brother Fengqing, you have to come back soon." ”

......

"Is the message confirmed?"

Shangcho City, it should be said that not only Shangcho City, but also the four major forces in the western part of Tianxiong Island, from high-ranking officials to the people, have all fallen into a panic mood.

Everyone will ask about the above sentence when they meet people, all because of the news that suddenly broke last night - Sakura and Ziji Heavenly Star Divine Mountain Range have invaded on a large scale, and all the towns in the east of Shangguan and Zhangwang have been encroached upon.

"I don't know, let's see how the adults will respond. ”

In the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the faces of civil officials and military generals were even more grim than before.

Because Shangqiao City not only broke out about the Shangguan family, but also broke out another incident - Xia Bing'er, who hadn't come to meet them for a long time, had been deeply poisoned, and maybe he had already died.

The generals are relatively nervous, and there have been a lot of things recently, so they don't think much about it at all.

The civil officials had long been surprised that Xia Bing'er, who they used to see every day, had not come to see them for a long time, but now the news broke out, which proved what they thought from the side.

As for Yang Fengqing, it has always been rumored that he has arrived, but until now he has not shown his face, which makes those officials who have been working under Yang Fengqing for a long time even more panicked.

One person's pessimism is not terrible, what is terrible is the pessimism of a group of people. The pessimism then spreads to the lower officials and then to those who have the most contact with the people.

If the entire Tiance fell into a pessimistic situation, even if Yang Fengqingzhen arrived, it would be useless.

Many officials saw that Hua Ji and Gu Xuzhang, who were the earliest in the past, have not yet come.

"Ahh

Someone sighed leisurely, no one looked at the person, they could understand the person.

......

In the small courtyard where Xia Bing'er lived, Xia Bing'er had changed into the clothes she usually wore to deal with government affairs, and slowly paced in the courtyard, with Hua Ji, Gu Xuzhang, and the Qiu family's father and son all on the side.

Xia Bing'er should have stepped on a stone under her feet, and her body was bumpy. Gu Xuzhang stepped forward, grabbed one of Xia Bing'er's hands, and said with a thick worry: "Bing'er, can you really persevere? If you really can't hold on, don't be reckless, let Pharmacist Qiu go with us in the same way." ”

Xia Bing'er looked at the foot, it was a small stone, and her heart was still a little sad.

Turning his face to Gu Xuzhang, he smiled lightly: "Uncle, what are you talking about? Why can't you persevere? I just haven't walked for a long time, and I'm a little unused to it." Pharmacist Qiu, please. ”

Qiu Hongshen nodded, took out Yang Fengqing's mask from his sleeve and put it on his head: "The mask I made can't be compared to the mask made by Childe, but I don't speak, it's no problem to sit there quietly." ”

"Let's go, let them wait a little longer, I don't know what will happen. ”

Gu Xuzhang and Hua Ji looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads.

When the four of them arrived outside the council hall, there was a commotion in the council hall.

Gu Xuzhang and Hua Ji's faces became even more ugly on the original basis, and Gu Xuzhang almost ran into the hall: "What are you arguing about?!"

The officials in the hall shut up one after another, and the two sides of the quarrel were still red-eyed and staring at each other.

Gu Xuzhang glanced at the two parties, both of which included civil officials and military generals. One side is headed by Gemer, and the other side is headed by Ji Chengye.

Ji Chengye was originally an official in Beilin, the second highest official with a foreign surname in Beilin, and the head of the local wealthy Ji family in Beilin.

At the beginning of Tiance's occupation of Beilin, the gossip of Tiance's counterattack in Beilin was flying all over the sky, so Xia Bing'er tried her best to oppose everyone and asked Ji Chengye, who was idle at home at that time, to be an official of Tiance.

The official position given was not clearly stated, and there was no way to say it clearly if he wanted to, after all, Tiance's positioning was still very vague at this time.

has always made him Yang Mingyue's deputy, whether it is the party or someone else, everyone knows that this is a high-ranking official among civil officials.

With Ji Chengye's example, the wave of rebellion in Beilin soon disappeared, and many former Beilin officials began to enter Tiance's bureaucracy.

After those officials of the former Beilin entered the bureaucracy, most of them would look for Ji Chengye, and the decision-making level of Tiance knew what it meant, but the contradiction of Tiance has always been an external contradiction, especially after the confrontation with the Shangguan family.

"Ji Chengye, Gemmer, what is the reason for your quarrel in the early morning?"

Hundreds of people in the hall looked at the outside of the hall together, their expressions were different, the most was surprise, and some officials who were either more easily excited, or under greater pressure, sobbed in a low voice.

came, not only Xia Bing'er was unhindered, but even the general who hadn't shown up for a long time appeared!

Gemmer knelt down first: "Meet the general, Lord Xia!"

Ji Chengye and the others hurriedly knelt down: "Meet the general, Lord Xia!"

"Get up. ”

No one wondered why Xia Bing'er spoke out, and the relationship between Xia Bing'er and Yang Fengqing allowed them to talk too much.

"Yes. ”

Everyone watched the two of them walk between them, and when they reached the front, "Yang Fengqing" pointed to Gu Xuzhang's position.

Gu Xuzhang answered yes first, then trotted over, picked up the bench and ran to the top, and put it on the side of the first seat.

"Yang Fengqing" turned his face to look at Xia Bing'er again, everyone understood what was going on, but no one would say anything stupidly.

"Thank you, General. ”

"Yang Fengqing" sat on the first seat, and Xia Bing'er sat on the bench that Gu Xuzhang moved up.

"Yang Fengqing" swept the bottom of his eyes, supported his forehead, closed his eyes, and waved his hand at Xia Bing'er, it seemed that Yang Fengqing was a little dissatisfied with the people below, and the faces of everyone below were a little more panicked.

Xia Bing'er nodded to Yang Fengqing first, and then turned her head to look down: "All the things that have happened in Tiance recently, I and the general have seen it, but because we have too many things to arrange, we have no time to take care of it." First of all, everyone performs their duties, and Tiance has been able to stabilize the morale of the army, and you have made great contributions. ”

The officials below looked very dazed, and they didn't understand what Xia Bing'er was going to say.

However, after hearing Xia Bing'er's praise, her face became brighter.

"The news that came this time is indeed too serious, and I and the general can understand everyone's panic, but your panic is superfluous. ”

"Let's not mention that the first thing to bear the brunt of is Shangguan and Zhang Wang, and besides, many things we have arranged are not only useful to Shangguan, but also to Sakura. ”

"Do you have anything to say about this meeting?"

Hua Ji and Gu Xuzhang kept looking at Xia Bing'er, and when they saw that she had just said such a little thing, their voices were already a little quieter than they had started.
