January 3, 2002 after the Age of the Tribulation.

On the morning of this day, Liangdan and Gongsun Ling stood at the south gate of the white market.

Looking at the soldiers at the checkpoint, they strictly checked the people entering and leaving the city gates. Looking up, I saw the heavily armed soldiers on the city walls, staring intently at the distant land.

"Salute!"

At the checkpoint, a tall, short-haired captain gave the command in a sonorous voice.

More than twenty soldiers, in the blink of an eye, stood in a row, all standing in a standard military posture.

Everyone was entering and exiting the city gates, and the people stopped and looked at the neatly organized soldiers.

Liangdan and Gongsun Ling saw that there was only one soldier left in the checkpoint, and the other soldiers had gathered in a group and stood in a straight line.

What's going on?

"Take a break!"

Syllable!

"Stand upright!"

Syllable!

"Dress up!"

Slap-slap-slap......

More than two dozen soldiers followed the commander's command, neatly and uniformly, from head to waist, and arranged their uniforms.

"Stop!"

Syllable!

Standing upright, forming a beautiful human wallline.

"Senior brother!" Gongsun Ling whispered, "What's the situation? We had traveled through many cities, and it was the first time we had met such a strict soldier. ”

Liangdan's heart was also slightly shocked.

"Someone important is going to pass by, right?" Liangdan whispered, "The soldiers' movements are very capable, and the military discipline in the white market is very strict. ”

Liangdan remembered that 500,000 Nandong troops came to attack Baishi a year ago, but as a result, the Nandong Army has been hovering on the border line so far, and they can't step into the boundary of Baishi in a single step.

Think about it again, the population of Baishi is a little bit of 100,000, and it can withstand the army of the South and the East, all thanks to this disciplined army.

"People in the white market are not simple." Gongsun Ling said, "We've come to the right place. It's a good piece of soil. ”

"I'm thinking about a question." Liangdan said, "In the time of war, who will come to the city, or who will help the white market? Otherwise, the important people in the city would not have the leisure to come here. ”

"Aren't we?"

"We don't count. We didn't officially communicate with the white market, and besides, the world doesn't know about you and me. Liangdan said, "Looking at the formation, it should be the formal kind." ”

While the two were talking, they saw a car marked "Jiangzhou" appear on the avenue at a very slow speed.

"It turned out to be from Jiangzhou." Liangdan said, "The two cities are separated by an ocean, and they come to this white market, and there is a lot of article here." ”

"Hmmm! When the people of Jiangzhou come to Baishi, they must have come for the alliance. Gongsun Ling said, "However, this is puzzling, across a big ocean, now the white market is pressed by the Nandong Army, which seems to be ......."

"Salute!"

Gongsun Ling paused her speech.

The two men stood quietly in the crowd, watching the car slowly drive past the stuck point.

From the open window, Liangdan and Gongsun Ling saw the woman in the passenger seat waving to the soldier frequently.

"Welcome to the people of Jiangzhou." Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Welcome to the people of Jiangzhou." Everyone shouted in unison.

"Welcome to our Heroic Letters!" Another shouted.

Everyone shook the heavens and shouted: "Welcome to our heroic letter!" ”

Hearing the cheers of the crowd, the woman in the passenger seat said a word to the driver, and the car stopped.

"Senior brother! This woman must have written a letter. Gongsun Ling said, "She is very popular with the people of the white market." ”

A local next to him heard Gongsun Ling's words and said, "You two are new, right?" This letter is our great hero. ”

"Oh!" Liangshan came to be interested, "Fellow! How so? Isn't she from Jiangzhou? ”

"She is indeed from Jiangzhou. However, before retaking Jiangzhou, she was in our Baishi to help us defend against the Nandong Army. "He and our mayor, Bai Lian, are in charge of the beheading operation." This letter is in charge of the Navy. She led a team of men and horses, on the sea boundary line, and carried out the operation. Although her team suffered heavy casualties, she eventually sank the Nandong, the aircraft carrier of the Nandong Army. Gave the other side a heavy blow. ”

Such a big event, the two of them actually noticed it, and they felt a little regretful.

Aircraft carriers, this is the hegemon of the seas. It was sunk by one squad after another, what a successful operation.

The letter said a few words to the crowd and returned to the car. The car started slowly and entered the city.

The crowd whispered, gathered in groups, talked about it, and then left.

"Senior sister! Sinking an aircraft carrier is the effect of hitting the head of a snake. Liangdan said, "I wonder why the Nandong Army stayed on the border, it turned out that a snake head was knocked out by the white market." ”

"That's a great trick." Gongsun Ling said, "I don't know which master it is?" ”

"Anyway, we've come to the right place." Liangdan said, "Let's go into the city too!" ”

The two walked towards the stuck point.

"It's your first time in the White Market?" The soldier looked at Liangdan and Gongsun Ling's ID cards seriously, "What are you doing here?" ”

"We are wanderers." Liangdan said, "People who travel all over the world. ”

"It's the people who go around propagating all kinds of ideas?" The soldier looked at the records on the computer, and then at the faces of the two, "What are you going to promote in our city?" ”

"Equality among clusters." Gongsun Ling said, "We not only propagate ideas, but also make suggestions. ”

The soldier said, "Wait a minute! ”

The soldier reported the situation to the captain.

Liangdan and Gongsun Ling discussed in advance that they wanted to meet the mayor in an official scene and get a good reason. They dressed up in the shape of a wanderer.

A minute later, the captain approached the two men.

"Welcome to the White Market." The captain said, "However, it is stipulated that in times of war, unlike times of peace, you are allowed to spread your ideas everywhere. However, special times, special treatment. Wait a little bit, the person in charge of your part will be here in a moment. ”

Liangdan and Gongsun Ling said: "Good! ”

After about ten minutes of waiting, a commercial vehicle painted "propaganda car" stopped in front of the two of them.

"Hello! I'm the one who specializes in this. The person in charge said, "Please come with me." ”

Liangdan and Gongsun Ling got into the car and saw that he was alone in the car. In other cities, there are at least two people who receive tourists, a person in charge and a person in charge.

"You're in charge of the wanderer alone, can you handle it?" Liangshan said, "How many tourists come to the white market every day? ”

The person in charge was slightly surprised. None of the five or six wanderers before said so, but complained that the white market had neglected them.

"Hmmm! Time of war. The manpower was tight, and those who could fight picked up their guns. The person in charge said, "There are not enough people, and everyone who can use it has used it." ”

"Aren't there people coming in and out of the gates?" Gongsun Ling said, "Among them are people in the prime of life. ”

"They take care of the logistics, in shifts." The person in charge said, "Not everyone dares to carry a gun. There are also people who come from other cities to trade. ”

"How many travelers have you accepted in the White Market so far?" Liangshan repeated.

"Five or six people. However, none of these five or six are real travelers, some are liars, and some are meticulous. The person in charge said, "However, you are all here as wanderers, and it is impossible for us to refuse to accept them." As long as we operate within the limits of our limitations, we will not spy on our military intelligence. Nothing is a problem, and we will not kill people and make sure you leave safely. ”

"Hmmm! Be sure to obey your rules. Liangdan said, "We won't mess around." Also, what restrictions do you have regarding promotional content? ”

"Not really." The person in charge said, "As long as it is beneficial to the idea of the white market, we welcome it." ”

"Can we meet the mayor?" Gongsun Ling said, "We want to talk directly. ”

"It's not impossible, but now, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to meet the mayor." The person in charge said, "I'll listen to your propaganda first!" Then decide whether to report or not. ”

Half an hour later, the group arrived at their destination.

Surrounded by high walls, it is a city within a city, and the monitoring facilities are very in place.

"This is a reception for you travelers." The person in charge said, "I will eat and live with you." Forgot to say, I'm a live broadcaster for a TV station. The ideas you want to promote, we use video playback. As you know, it is not realistic to gather the citizens to listen to your sermons. ”

Gongsun Ling asked: "Live video?" It's TV news! ”

"You can say the same thing." The person in charge said, "Which way do you want to use it?" Do you set up a podium and speak by yourself? Or is it just me communicating with you? Or live-streaming, communicating directly with the public? You may be worried, this is the formality. You can rest assured that at a fixed time every day, your promotional content will be placed in every corner of the city. In times of war, time is precious, no more than half an hour at a time. ”

"Good!" The two said in unison, "We know." ”

The two walked into the building, saw a scene on the big screen, and stopped.

Moderator: White City has once again welcomed an ally, and this is the second city after the North and South Cities to be willing to help us. Let's interview the mayor and the delegation from Jiangzhou.

(The screen shifts to the reception hall of the signing ceremony, which has not yet begun.) ）

A Female Reporter: Mayor! What benefits can this alliance bring to our white market? And how do we give back to Jiangzhou?

White Lotus (People are actually thorns, White Lotus is patrolling the border): In times of war, righteous people come together for the sake of human footsteps. Baishi is the same, Jiangzhou is too, we uphold the equality of everyone. Based on this concept, the two cities have formed an alliance and worked hand in hand.

Reporter: The alliance with the North and South Cities has cost the White City a heavy price, and our leader, Mayor Bai Hong, has been detained in the North and South Cities. I want to know, in this alliance, we have to sacrifice that character in the white market? It's you? Or your mother?

White Lotus: The alliance with the North and South Cities was a decision made by my father. But in any case, after the alliance, at least the White Market was not flattened by the Nandong Army. As you know, about this alliance, you know, the people who came to negotiate wrote letters. Letters are our lifesavers in the White Market, so there is no question of sacrificing or not sacrificing. Rather, it was built on a common foundation and the first step was taken.

Reporter: Now let's ask the representative figure of Jiangzhou City, who is also the heroic letter of our Baishi people. Lady Letters! According to the current situation, the White Market is still surrounded by the South-Eastern Army, what reason do you have to form an alliance with us? Of course, from my personal point of view, I'm glad that you're here to help the White Market.

Letter: Bai Hong is Huang Fu Mang's mentor, Huang Fu Mang recaptured Jiangzhou, relying on the concept of emancipating slaves and equality for all, and won the support of the people. It is only natural for students to repay their teachers. The two cities have the same governing philosophy, and there is a basis for cooperation between the two cities. That's all I can say.

Moderator: The signing ceremony is about to begin, and we will conclude the personal interview.

The signing ceremony lasted for more than an hour, and the two sides introduced the various affairs of the alliance and talked about future cooperation.
