After showing the token representing his identity, Chai Ping dismounted and slowly walked through the camp gate that looked a little new, which was obviously reinforced and installed with sharp objects of unknown purpose, and the originally shallow ravine below was also deepened to the waist;

The sentry post of the archers, which had originally only stood sparsely on the top, had become several sentry boys composed of archers and platoons, who seemed to be watching the various roads and fields outside with great spirit and vigilance.

Then he found that the place where he had come seemed to be much more neat and clean, and there was no stagnant water and sludge as common in other camps, only a layer of soft sand rattling under his feet, and the sound of running water in the shallow ditches beside him.

There were no chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, all kinds of filth and garbage scattered everywhere, nor did I see the colorful clothes drying between the tents and the shantytowns, not to mention the strong smell of all kinds of dirty things mixed overnight, only a faint moist smell similar to the fresh aquatic plants on the riverbank.

And under the eaves of sheds and houses, there are traces and smells of quicklime spreading in certain places; Within the range of the gray coil, all kinds of clean containers of all sizes are also neatly stacked in the open air to dry; This can't help but make Chai Ping also give birth to a little unbelievable confusion; Is this still a chaotic camping outside the city, it's like arriving at the garrison of the officers and soldiers in the inner city.

He had been here once a while ago.

It was after lunch, but most of the people he knew in the room, the dining room, or the shed, were gone; Only a few unfamiliar faces walked in the leveled clearing, or worked in and out of tents around a few places; They were all one-size-fits-all in their conduct and in their work, and they only glanced at Chai Ping, a camper, and continued to ignore or be indifferent.

This couldn't help but make him accumulate more questions and thoughts.

Then he easily inquired from his acquaintances, and in fact, most of the remaining people in the camp had already gathered in the largest newly opened barn.

"Today it's time for the monk to talk about the ancients."

"Don't miss it..."

"Shut up, it's still a monk."

"It's time to change the name to the deputy camp."

"It's still called Mr. Monk's closeness."

With the sound of these rushing discussions, Chai Ping was also led to a huge warehouse; In addition to the usual bad breath and sweat, there is also the smell of wormwood that has been smoked after it has been lit. And on the platform stacked with furniture in the center, the "monk" is gesturing and telling something in a subdued tone and a colorful tone.

"Speaking of which, the black guy picked up his big fist."

"He picked up the hind paws of the big worm again, and threw a big splash of wind."

The Iron Bull fell to his knees and began to cry.

And with the words and deeds of the other party, everyone below broke out again with low sighs and buzzing, but there was not much noise from ear to ear, and as if attracted by a magnet, they were preoccupied with the "monk", which seemed to be a habitual thing.

Chai Ping wanted to step forward and say something to Wang Pan in the front row, but the familiar name of "Tie Niu" made him stop and listen carefully to the story of Li Tie Niu tearing six big insects to avenge his mother and going up the mountain and falling into the grass.

As a result, standing behind the crowd, he wanted to listen to it, but he didn't expect to be so fascinated by it that he forgot the original intention and purpose of coming, but it wasn't until the sky was a little darker, that he suddenly woke up to the unfinished sighs and sudden loud discussions around him, and the quarrel.

Since leaving home to join the rebel army, how many years have he not been so relaxed and slack, Chai Ping couldn't help but wake up and blame himself for walking towards the "monk" who was surrounded in the crowd

。。。。。

"Why did you invite me to participate in the transcendental ceremony?。。

Then, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help laughing at himself, and almost forgot that he still had a fake identity as a monk;

And apparently this is the common people or rather ignorant of antiquity, and reverent of unexplained mysticism. Among the peasant rebels who killed officials and rebelled, there was naturally no exception.

Of course, with his current status in the Camp of the Furious Winds, there was not much reason to turn down the invitation. It's just that he also heard the details, whether he went to participate in the transcendence, which means that it may be a collective act of more than plural, is this some kind of temptation or test?

With the help of activating the invisible computing ability, he also quickly thought about the trade-offs of various interests, but there was too little information, and the attitude and meaning shown by the other party were really difficult to judge the disadvantage.

Walking on the road to Guangzhou City, it seems that the opening of the warehouse and the relief of the righteous army during this period of time are still effective, and the large group of hungry and walking corpse-like homeless people who fell on the road have basically disappeared; Even the places that were once reduced to battlefields have been replaced by new soil colors, and large tracts of fields and orchards that had been abandoned for a time by war have reappeared in the form of sparse labor.

But also in the city of Canton, the signs of the rest and enjoyment of these rebel generals began to permeate the large port city, along with the bells and whistles of carriages and horses galloping through the streets, and the smell of wine and fat powder openly wafting in the middle of the day.

In any case, the basic order had been restored in the city of Canton, even if it was rather simple and crude under the leadership of the peasant army; The once ubiquitous patrol ranks have been reduced considerably, and all kinds of low-class people and all kinds of peddlers and pawns can now walk the streets as usual;

The various restaurants and tea shops have regained some of their popularity and have continued to come and go, and most of the shops and inns have reopened, although it seems that there is little business; Occasionally, there will be a few human heads, old and new, with undried bloodstains, hanging on the side of the sentry post at the street entrance; From time to time, there were people paraded through the streets with flails, causing laughter and shouts, and even crowds of children spitting stones during the chase, and their ragged silk robes and brocades clearly represented the quality of life and status of the past.

Is this the beginning of the liquidation of the eunuchs, the rich merchants, and the big families? However, in retrospect, this is also something that will happen sooner or later, after all, the southward rebel army is known as tens of thousands of people, and although the gains after conquering the city of Guangzhou are not counted, the people who are used to support and maintain so many people will inevitably face the problem of sitting on the mountain and eating the empty mountain.

In particular, in the absence of a stable territory, the supply of material production, financial endowments, and sources of manpower, the extensive letting of the various departments to expand their own troops will sooner or later lead to a series of problems and troubles;

Therefore, in Zhou Huai'an's view, this relatively calm and rough order inevitably has a certain sense of vanity; Because no one knows whether in the future, under the needs of reality, the rebels will continue to expand the need for money and food to these ordinary people.

Then he couldn't help laughing at himself, "I don't think I'm making money from cabbage, I have the heart of selling powder", he thought so crankily, and under the slow and undulating donkey under his crotch, he soon came to a small temple near the city gate - Shouguang Temple.

It is said that a senior general of the rebel army who had just died stopped here and waited for the final transcendence from the Buddhist monks. Along with this, there was also news that a northbound rebel army had recently suffered a major defeat in Shaozhou.

According to the rhetoric revealed by Chai Ping, it was Wang Duo, the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu of the Tang Dynasty, who recommended 50,000 generals from the famous general Li Sheng, the grandson of Li Sheng, to support the besieged Shaozhou; As a result, Sun Yannian, a veteran of the rebel army who was responsible for besieging and seizing the important town of Shaoguan, was killed on the spot, and the rest of the army was defeated and all killed.
