The people in the house stared wide-eyed, as if doubting the accuracy of the general's words outside.

"Is what he said true or not, is it true that their rebellious army will not harm ordinary people like us, will he want to trick us into opening the door, and then break into the door to kill us?"

An aunt glanced out the door, shook her head with a complicated expression, and said, "I don't think so, this general looks so young, and he has never looked like the kind of person who kills people at every turn." Oh, speaking of Lingcheng and Nanhuaicheng, I suddenly remembered that I have a relative in Lingcheng, he wrote to me not long ago and told me that everything is fine in Lingcheng, the general surnamed Lu not only did not embarrass them ordinary people, but even sent them subsidies from time to time, and his wife is even kind-hearted, not only is she beautiful, but also has a very good heart, and she will take the initiative to distribute food to the people in the city who need help in three or two days, if it weren't for their presence, it is estimated that the people of Lingcheng would not survive the last winter. ”

"Yes, yes, I have also heard, it is said that the life of Lingcheng is better than that of our people in the capital."

There were more and more voices of approval, but the general could not hear them.

Liu Fengfeng waited for a while, but he never waited for the understanding of the people in the city, he sighed and prepared to leave the long street he had once walked.

"General, wait!"

Just as Liu Fengfeng turned the horse's head and was about to leave, a childish voice suddenly came from not far away.

As soon as Liu Fengfeng turned his eyes, he saw a little boy standing not far away, who was the first to open the door just now, and then probed his brain to look at them.

Facing such a delicate little person, Liu Fengfeng tried his best to make his voice as gentle as possible: "What's wrong?" ”

"Your face hurts." The little boy pointed to Liu Fengfeng's cheek, "There is blood, and my mother said that only a well-behaved child can be regarded as a well-behaved child if my face is clean, so my mother asked me to send a handkerchief to the general, and this!" ”

As he spoke, he handed over a handkerchief and a very small oiled paper bag, far away, Liu Fengfeng could ask about the fragrance emanating from it, it was probably a steamed bun. Because the horse Liu Fengfeng was riding was too high, the child couldn't reach it even if he stood on tiptoe, let alone handed the injured oil paper bag to Liu Fengfeng, when his expectant gaze came, Liu Fengfeng felt that his heart seemed to melt in half.

No wonder Brother Lu couldn't help but smile on his face every time he saw the children before, it turned out that he was expected by the little ghost to feel like this.

Liu Fengfeng turned over and dismounted, took the oiled paper bag from the child's hand with a solemn face, and then touched his head with a smile.

"Help me when I go back, thank you, mother."

The little boy smiled and nodded, turned and ran back into the house.

After such a thing, the people who were still hiding in the city also realized that the army that attacked the capital was not as vicious as they imagined, and they were not even like soldiers who could only loot the people's things, but like soldiers who fought to protect the people, as if they were there, and they would not have to face the difficulties of those corrupt officials in the future.

With the beginning, things start to take their course.

The people took out dry food from their homes, and some poor people directly took out water to reward those soldiers who were in the dust, and for a while, laughter and laughter were endless.

Different from the harmonious atmosphere on the long street is the confrontation in front of King Li, Chen Lian belittled Lu Li to worthless in front of everyone, and even the suffering of the people was directly attributed to Lu Li, these words made An Xiabai clench his fists tightly.

"The general is not what you say." An Xiabai raised his eyes and looked at Chen Lian without fear, "You are from a big family, how can you understand the difficulties of ordinary people?" If you don't become an official in the court, how can you understand your difficulties as a courtier? The generals raised troops not to satisfy their own selfish desires at all, but to save the people. An Xiabai paused, and then said, "The army that was willing to follow the general at the beginning was the army that was thrown to the border by the first emperor to suppress bandits, and decided to abandon it completely. That army did nothing wrong, but because the first emperor was suspicious of the general, in order to let the general die, so the first emperor deliberately ordered the deduction of food and salary, intending to let them die surrounded by enemies and mountain bandits, Chen Liangongzi, do you say that they suppressed bandits for the people? ”

“..... Naturally, there is none. ”

"And the people of Lingcheng, if Chen Liangongzi can go to Lingcheng in person, or Nanhuai City to find out, you will definitely be able to see their new look, when the general first arrived, they were breathless because of the collusion and persecution of officials, as well as the heavy taxes of the imperial court, from the south all the way to the north, you can see the people who are displaced by the loss of land at most, and they are different, although they stand on their own land, they are always not fed, not warm, Their lives were far more difficult than those of the people, because they could not see a way out. ”

An Xiabai said while holding Lu Li's hand: "Knowing that the general appeared, he eliminated the corrupt officials, reduced taxes, and even subsidized the people from time to time, which made the people see the hope of life again, and the people of those cities were just the opposite of the people under the rule of King Li, and some of the people who were not affected by the war had the same difficult life, Chen Liangongzi, did you really not think about what this is?" ”

Chen Lian was speechless.

An Xiabai saw that she couldn't answer, so he sneered and pointed at King Li and said, "It's all because the ruler is too cruel, compared to the two, Chen Liangongzi, do you still think that the general is not the master?" ”

Chen Lian took a few steps back, and when she raised her head again, there was already a little more admiration for An Xiabai in her eyes: "Madame is so eloquent, I don't know who you studied under before?" ”

"No one taught me." An Xia Bai lowered his eyes and said, "I'm just a businessman." ”

The people who were originally on King Li's side began to shake their hearts because of An Xiabai's words and Chen Lian's speechless appearance.

At this moment, Lu Li glanced out of the city as if inadvertently, and said in a voice that was enough for An Xiabai to hear: "At this time, he has already come to the capital, but for some reason he has not shown up. ”

Even if he didn't see the expression on Lu Li's face, An Xiabai could feel his concern outside the city.

She shook his hand hard: "I'll go and see." ”

"No-" Lu Li tried to stop it, but before he could say anything, he met An Xiabai's smiling gaze and the firm words that came out of her mouth, "I'm just an idler, I can't do the rough work of leading troops to fight and maintain the scene, this difficult errand, it's better for you to come by yourself, husband, I'll go outside the city to see if they are coming." ”

Lu Li nodded with a complicated expression.

Originally, he wanted An Xiabai to stay here to confront King Li and stop the scene, but he didn't expect that she was unwilling and insisted on going outside the city.

Lu Li, who was helpless, could only tell her: "Bring a few more people and be careful in everything." "

"I understand."

The preparations for nearly a month are all for today's victory, where does An Xiabai dare to slack off? She took a dozen people and walked in the direction where the city gate was located.

When An Xiabai passed near the long street, he happened to see the army brought by Liu Fengfeng like a victorious army surrounded by the people, and couldn't help but show a smile of relief.

When Lu Li decided to hand over the difficult job of buying people's hearts to Liu Fengfeng, she was still apprehensive in her heart, and it was not until she saw it with her own eyes that she understood that Liu Fengfeng could.

In the barracks, no one's smile was more contagious than the smile on his face.

The guards responsible for guarding the security of the city gate of the capital are still there, they are firmly guarding the city gate like statues, and there are many people on the city tower, when they turned their eyes and saw An Xia Bai leading people to the city tower, two young looking soldiers came to stop them: "No one is allowed to enter and leave the city tower at will." ”

An Xiabai glanced at them, felt the talisman from inside his sleeve, and slowly retreated.

"Madam," a small guard who followed An Xiabai asked inexplicably, "The general's side seems to be very dangerous, the big guys are all tense, is it really okay for us to leave the general like this, what if something happens to the general's side?" ”

"It's for the sake of the general's safety that I came to this city tower."

An Xiabai didn't explain the reason for coming to the city tower, and the other guards didn't dare to ask at all, they all lowered their faces, silently waiting for the person An Xiabai wanted to wait for, and it didn't take long for a carriage to slowly drive in the distance, and the carriage seemed to come from a distant horizon, gradually turning from a small black edge into a clear outline.

A guard became excited: "It's General Chang Wen and Miss Qin who are here!" ”

An Xiabai also saw them, and the reason why he left Lu Li and came to wait on this city tower was to wait for these two people to come to the capital and come to them.

An Xiabai hurriedly ran down the city tower.

"Sister Xiabai......." As soon as Qin Shuang'er saw her, she quickly ran in front of her, and An Xiabai also smiled at her: "It's been a hard journey." ”

Qin Shuang'er shook her head seriously: "Actually, I'm nothing, it's just that Brother Chang is a little uncomfortable, and he has been on the road these days......"

Following Qin Shuang'er's gaze, An Xiabai looked at Chang Wen: "Have you decided?" ”

"It's decided." Chang Wen nodded solemnly.

As soon as the two of them met each other, they said two words that Qin Shuang'er couldn't understand at all, but Qin Shuang'er didn't want to ask, because she knew from beginning to end that Chang Wen's identity was very unusual.

"Now that it's decided, let's go, generals, they're already waiting for you to pass."

"Frost she-"

An Xiabai instructed the dozen or so guards behind him, "You protect Miss Qin, and make sure you send her safely to General Liu's side." ”

The guards agreed in unison: "My subordinates obey." ”
