In the center of the intersection street of Yunzhong City, there is a drum tower, about four feet high. Every time the city is defended in battle, the main general can watch the enemy situation on the drum tower, use flags during the day, and use lights at night to command and mobilize the whole city's soldiers and horses.

Instead of wartime, there is a more drum on this drum tower to tell the time.

It's not just in the clouds, at this moment, there is basically such a drum tower in the city of Dasui, if it is a big city, there are even more than ten drum towers.

At this moment, the drums are beating twice, and it is the time to report the two watches, and it is also the beginning of the curfew in Cloudsdale.

On weekdays, the border fortress of Cloudsdale facing the threat of the Turks, not to mention the second watch, the city gate must be closed as soon as it gets dark, the street patrol curfew, and the soldiers on duty go to the city wall. Outside the city, there are hidden sentry posts on the road, and the fences at the street entrances in the city are closed, and the city is full of fierce fighting.

But this autumn gathering, the impoverished Hengan Yingyang Mansion can only put aside the past practice, and only start the curfew on the street on the second watch, otherwise the merchants in the city can go to Liu Wu Zhoulang to petition and demonstrate. And the business of the merchants in the city is good, and Hengan Yingyang Mansion can also draw more taxes, so they can only grit their teeth and take more risks.

The sound of drums sounded, and there were many people pouring out of the restaurant and prostitution hall.

Luo Dun also strode out, I am afraid that tonight there is not half a sheep and a jar of wine to eat, the old man still does not change his face, and he still walks vigorously.

And Xu Le followed behind Luo Dun, and Han Yue and the others were also blocked by the men of the Liang Haite Department. As soon as he left the store, Xu Le put on a hood and hid his face.

On the street, there are Heng'an soldiers standing on both sides, holding shields to cover their fronts. The blade is within reach. Xu Le swept it casually, and he could see the arrow clusters on the roof reflecting the faint light of the stars and moon.

On the roof, there are also Hengan Eagle Soldiers and crossbowmen lurking.

Under such vigilance, even those who have alcohol go fast and do not dare to talk nonsense.

The fence fence around the city has been closed, and the Heng'an soldiers at the fence are also heavily guarded, and the crossbowmen at the entrance and exit have already stood in the bright place, as long as someone wants to seize the door to control the fence, it will suddenly become a hedgehog.

Out of the walled gate, it is the city gate, the security is more stringent, and there are Hengan soldiers on duty above and below the city. Xu Le even saw Yuan Junwei's figure, walking back and forth on the city wall, looking at everything around him vigilantly.

Xu Le hurriedly turned his gaze away, hiding his head and face deeper. At this time, if Yuan Junwei is enthusiastic again, regardless of making trouble for himself, and casually accusing himself of fighting for the city gate, he will have to flee with his life.

Seeing that there will be so many lively things happening in this autumn gathering inside and outside Cloud City, wouldn't it be a trip for nothing if you didn't get into it yourself?

Although Luo Dun spoke in a slurred manner and was vague, Xu Le could also hear what was going on.

It's very simple, the nine Tatars can't stand the exploitation of the Turks, this time I came to the autumn gathering to see if we can unite, and then rely on the power of the Great Sui to resist the Turks - even if they can't fight, it is good for the Turks to have more scruples and less nine Tatar tribes.

Last year, the Ma Yi soldiers and the Hedong soldiers joined forces to defeat the Turks, which seems to have given the nine Tatars a lot of courage. Although the Great Sui is weakened, it still has considerable strength!

Luo Dun is one of the initiators of this secret meeting, although he seems to be full of confidence in this secret meeting in his words, but Xu Le heard the worry behind the old man Luo Dun, afraid that the Turks will also sneak in and destroy this secret meeting!

There are Turkic people involved, how can Xu Le miss it? In Mayi, how can you not have a hostile heart towards the Turks who have repeatedly invaded the country! Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the man's greatest achievement has been achieved on the side plug horse, and it was obtained in the blood of Hu Lu!

The reputation of Cloud City fighting dozens of Hengan Eagle soldiers alone is simply the difference between Firefly and Haoyue!

It was precisely because Liu Wuzhou used Cloud City to resist the Turkic army alone, and Cloud City always stood firm when the Turks moved south. In the end, the Turkic army was forced to continue to venture south despite the constant harassment of the rear road, and the combined forces of Wang Rengong and Li Yuan gained the advantage. When the Turkic army was unable to support and retreated, Liu Wuzhou's troops attacked decisively and achieved the greatest result of this victory.

Because of this, Liu Wuzhou was able to sit firmly in the position of the general of Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, and the heroes of Mayi County returned to their hearts, and Liu Wuzhou was able to fight against Wang Rengong. to become a real player in this already chaotic world. Become a character who should be praised and admired in the mouth of Xu Le's grandfather.

This kind of experience can make you stronger. In order to end grandpa's unfulfilled wish!

So Xu Lecai didn't bother to continue to compete with Yuan Junwei.

When I got out of the city gate, I saw a low mountain stretching not far away, covering the city in the middle of the basin. Military villages are set up on the low hills, and the lights in the military villages are lit, and they shake from time to time to transmit messages to the city wall. These are all signals that the soldiers of the grassland tribe who are monitoring the settlements outside the city are reporting all the safety to the city in the clouds.

Between the dwarf mountain fortress and the city wall, a large area of flat land with all the trees cut down is the place where the grassland tribes who came to participate in the autumn gathering were inhabited. More than a dozen watchtowers were erected high, and they were even closer to the nearest place to watch the every move of these grassland tribes.

Once there is a change, the city wall and the low mountain military fortress can pour arrow rain from both sides of the grassland tribal settlement, and the iron cavalry in the city can stand out at any time and sweep this settlement.

Outside the settlement, from time to time, there are small groups of iron cavalry patrolling by, and the armor is full of battle marks. Each armored rider has an iron face covering his face, and he is like a ghost in the night.

The night wind is cool, the iron surface is slightly frosty, and the opening of the iron surface spews out long white gas between breaths, looking from a distance, like an army coming out of the Shura field.

Although the curfew has been relaxed because of the large gathering in the clouds, the Hengan Eagle soldiers still maintain the safety of the cloud city to the extreme, and they are unremittingly patrolling and guarding in the autumn night wind, which is the quality of a strong soldier that has really been honed in blood and fire. With Xu Le's ability to be tempered thousands of times, in front of this strong army, it is nothing more than that.

In a battle in Cloud City, although Xu Le fought dozens of eagles alone without falling behind, the eagles did not rain arrows on Xu Le with dozens of bows and crossbows, but Yuan Junwei attacked with an arrow. This is also why Xu Le desperately rushed to the city in the clouds, under the gaze of the people in the clouds, under the reason of complaining to Liu Wuzhou, Hengan Yingyang soldiers did not dare to come up with the means of army conquest to deal with Xu Le, just rushed up to fight hand-to-hand, and they still kept their hands, just wanted to beat Xu Le off the horse and arrest him, so that Xu Le could become famous in a fight!

Otherwise, the iron shield is covered, the arrow array is splashed with arrow rain, and Xu Le, who has no armor, can support it?

Liu Wuzhou, who has such a strong army, behind his inconspicuous appearance, is one of the qualified players in this troubled world!

Luo Dun, who had been walking silently, watched this strong army silently for a long time after leaving the city, and suddenly whispered to Xu Le: "With such a strong army, the Turks dare not mess around." We have nine surnames and all races, and we can handle it as much as we can. Lao Xu dares to lie at home now, you, the only grandson, can't have any accidents............ You have a little ability, and if you are bold enough to play for a few more days, it will be up to you. But you must not participate in the affairs of our nine surname clans, with the Han family, you can't tell what is going on! ”

Xu Le listened silently, Luo Dun's words couldn't be more realistic. With such a strong army in Heng'an Mansion in charge, do the Turks really dare to urge the army to come and suppress it? There were fewer people coming, and the nine surnamed Tatars themselves cleaned up. Taking advantage of the autumn gathering to go deep into the clouds of the nine Tatar secret meetings, it seems to be a foolproof move. If he, a Han man, was taken by Luo Dun to participate in it, it was really incomprehensible.

But is it really all under control, as Rodon said?

Shaking his head slightly, as if he wanted to get rid of the inexplicable worry about Old Rodun, a close elder. Xu Le smiled: "If the juniors dare to disobey their orders, they will delay here for a few days to see if they can get back our own goods." ”

Luo Dun glanced at Xu Le suspiciously, but didn't say anything.

In the settlements of various tribes in the grassland, the two Turkic nobles also looked at the strict vigilance of the Heng'an eagles in the night.

The quality of such a strict and solemn strong army made the two Turkic nobles look good and couldn't see where to go.

More than a dozen guards were distributed around the place, watching everything nervously and attentively.

Behind them, on the tabernacle, banners decorated with red horsehair fluttered on the high wooden poles.

This is the largest of the nine Tatars, and the recognition of more than 1,000 Yuebu!
