Chapter 699: Reception

As the day approached, the light rain that had been falling for several days stopped, and the black and oppressive clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing the westerly sun, and the light shone on the tower of Anhui City.

Creak!

The gate of Anhui City opened, and the county commander Huang Ming walked out of the city gate, followed by more than a dozen people.

After walking more than ten steps, Huang Ming looked back at the city tower, and looked at the dozen or so people who were willing to follow him to the military camp, and a warm feeling rose in his heart, and it was not in vain that he bothered to defend the city, and finally there were still people who were willing to follow him, but in the face of tens of thousands of fierce soldiers, what was the use of these people following them, it was just a few more deaths.

I am uncertain, why should I drag others to die together.

He had made up his mind, and immediately bowed to more than ten people, and said: "Your affection, I keep it in mind, but the rules of the military camp are strict, General Xu only summoned me alone, if you and other entourage, you will cause trouble, please stop!" ”

"This ......"

"Huangxian Order ......"

Everyone listened to Huang Ming's words and couldn't help but hesitate.

The county chief secretary was also among them, and he hugged his fist to Huang Ming and said: "If this is the case, we are indeed not suitable to go with us, but there is a word, if the county does not return at dusk, I will go to the military camp to seek justice." ”

When everyone heard this, they stopped and echoed it.

The people of Huang Ming Dynasty hugged their fists, turned and left, and the cavalry controlled the speed of the horse and led the way in front.

Under the slanting sun, Huang Ming's back looks very lonely, quite a kind of posture that the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone.

In fact, Huang Ming didn't see the scene of Xu Chu crying and bowing down when Zhang Liao and Liu Qiao went out of the city, and he was still nervously guarding the door hole at that time, lest the army break through the city gate. As for the guards in the city, most of them were covered by Zhang Liao, and a few saw it, but they couldn't believe it, they just thought they were dazzled, and one of the guards said it to Huang Ming, Huang Ming felt unbelievable, and only thought that the guards were talking nonsense.

If he had seen it or believed it, he wouldn't have been so upset.

In the barracks, the soldiers were conducting drills before dusk, tens of thousands of people were in separate columns, the ranks were neat, the momentum was majestic, the horses' hooves were rumbling, and the slaughter was cold.

The little momentum that was still in Huang Ming's chest disappeared without a trace at once, his steps became stiff, and his eyes showed shock and horror.

He has seen the guards of Anhui City, and he has also seen Liu Xun's soldiers and horses, but when those soldiers and horses are compared with the soldiers and horses in front of him, they are simply comparing pigs and sheep to tigers! Yes, it's the feeling of facing a group of tigers. No wonder the legendary general is invincible and famous!

When he arrived at the gate, looking at the four guards with expressionless faces, as well as the weapons in their hands with cold light, and listening to the sound of drums and horns inside, Huang Ming unconsciously grunted in his throat, swallowed his saliva, and only felt that he was stepping into the most terrifying tiger's den in the world step by step.

I can't help but be nervous, after all, his county order was appointed by Yuan Shu, and no one knows that the general's soldiers and horses are here to crusade against Yuan Shu, he can be regarded as Yuan Shu's remnants and Zhong's remnants......

I'm afraid that Liu Qiao has already landed at this time!

Cold sweat broke out on Huang Ming's forehead, and he couldn't help but feel weak in his legs and feet.

"The most terrible thing is just death!"

Huang Ming finally gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and followed the dismounted cavalry into the gate.

"Huang County Order!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Huang Ming's body trembled. At a fixed glance, a middle-aged man walked over with a smile accompanied by two soldiers, it was Liu Qiao who had landed in his imagination!

Liu ...... Brother Liu? Huang Ming couldn't believe his eyes, Liu Qiao at this time was radiant, and he seemed to be in a very good mood, and he was like two people who were panicked and depressed when he left Anhui City!

"This ...... What's going on? Huang Ming looked at Liu Qiao, who was smiling from ear to ear, and couldn't help but eat and ask.

"Huh...... Huang County Order, don't worry, and look at this righteous division of the imperial court? Liu Qiaofang had just experienced it, so he naturally knew Huang Ming's feelings at this time, he pulled Huang Ming forward, but he deliberately started haha.

When he went out of the city, he was so scared that he couldn't walk, especially the torment in his heart almost made him collapse, at this time, he didn't want to come to Tai, but he also wanted Huang Ming to taste that taste, so that his heart was balanced, and Huang Ming would not laugh at him for being timid in the future. He just asked Zhang Liao for his life and asked someone to come out to greet Huang Ming, which is the reason. Naturally, he wouldn't say this kind of mentality to Huang Ming.

"Brother Liu, what's going on? Come on...... Huang Ming clenched his fists again and again, very anxious.

Liu Qiao was in a relaxed mood at this time, looking at Huang Ming's more anxious appearance than himself, his heart was even more comfortable, his eyes rolled, he shook his head, sighed, and looked solemn: "Huang County Order, General Xu summoned servants before, there is something important to inquire, I don't want Huang County Order to be wrong, escort the servants out of the city gate, General Xu is quite unhappy when he learns about it, if this response is not appropriate, I'm afraid it will ......."

"Huh?" Huang Ming was stunned, it was self-defeating!

Thinking about the words of General Xu in the city before, he really said that he was looking for Liu Qiao, the head of the Liu family, and had something to ask, but he was nervous at the time, and it seemed that he would be wrong......

Huang Ming's forehead couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again, and he hurriedly hugged his fist to Liu Qiao and said, "Brother Liu, is it mine, stay in front of General Xu, and ask Brother Liu to say a word or two......

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Qiao suddenly couldn't help laughing, seeing Huang Ming's panicked appearance, he immediately stopped teasing him and patted him on the shoulder: "I just saw that Huang Xianling was nervous, so the servant said jokes to relieve his worries, this time the general called, Huang Xian Ling can come, it is a good thing, the servant is here to congratulate Huang Xianling on his bright future!" ”

Huang Ming first heard Liu Qiao's jokes, this time there was no danger, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he always felt that something was wrong, and then reacted, Liu Qiao actually said that the general, his brain was stunned, and he said: "Big ...... General? Do you mean General Xu? ”

He knew that some officials might not be able to distinguish the title of general from ordinary general, and they would often be confused.

Liu Qiao smiled without saying a word, and took Huang Ming, who looked dazed, all the way to the front of the Chinese army's tent, and his expression became nervous, he was able to let go in front of Huang Ming, an old friend, and when he arrived at the general's tent, it was still difficult to control his nervousness.

"Haha, brother, this Anhui order is actually here, and the courage is good."

A loud voice as thunderous startled Huang Ming, and when he looked at it, he was even more shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, that General Xu, who had been majestic under the city gate, was actually guarding the gate here!

Is it really a great general? Didn't the general die in battle? Are they all rumors? The general is not dead? Huang Ming's mind was messy for a while, but he ignored General Xu's address to Liu Qiao.

"General Xu, I wonder if the general will have time to see Huang County's order at this time?" Liu Qiao asked Xu Chu with a smile.

Xu Chu's eyes widened, and he patted Liu Qiao's shoulder: "The two of us have become righteous brothers, you can call me brothers in the future, what kind of general is it!" He was grateful to Liu Qiao for saving his life to Zhang Liao, and he had forcibly pulled Liu Qiao to marry his brother in private just now.

Liu Qiao grinned: "Xu ...... Brother Xu. ”

"Haha! Brother, that's exactly how it should be. Xu Chu replied with disgust: "The general is waiting inside, and my brother will go in with the Anhui order." ”

Huang Ming looked at the scene of Xu Chu and Liu Qiao calling each other brothers in front of him blankly, and felt that his brain couldn't turn a little, until he was pulled into the middle tent by Liu Qiao, and whispered in his ear: "You must be respectful when you meet the generals, otherwise these generals will not be spared." ”

Huang Ming came back to his senses and saw a person sitting on the top, so he didn't have time to see his face clearly, so he hurriedly bowed down and bowed: "Anhui ordered Huang Ming to meet the general." ”

His heart was pounding, the general was second only to today's important ministers, one person was above ten thousand people, and it could even be said that his power was greater than that of the Son of Heaven! He is a county order, or a county order appointed by the rebellious Zhong clan in the imperial court, how dare he slack off!

Then he sighed again in his heart, no, why did he call himself Wanling? This Anhui order was appointed by the Zhong clan, how could he claim to be in front of the imperial generals!

Huang Mingzheng regretted his speech, and a calm voice came from above: "Huang County's order doesn't need to be polite, just get up." ”

This voice made Huang Ming feel a little familiar, he couldn't help but raise his head, and the whole person stayed there all at once.

That's not the ...... The young man who followed Liu Qiao out of the city? He's not from Liu's house? I don't think I said it...... But how can it be a great general? The general will actually be in Anhui City? Huang Ming only felt that everything today was a little subverted, making his whole person completely messy.

It wasn't until Liu Qiao beside him pulled him twice that Huang Ming came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "General, lower official...... Huang Ming was rude. ”

"Hehe," Zhang Liao smiled: "Huang Xian Ling doesn't have to be polite, you and I are old acquaintances." ”

Huang Ming saw Zhang Liao's gentle expression, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Huang Ming was rude and attached to the puppet dynasty, he was guilty, and he claimed to be in front of the general, which really shouldn't be." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Liao waved his hand: "Master Liu, let's sit down with Huang County's order." ”

Subsequently, Zhang Liao asked Huang Ming about some of the situation in Anhui City, from the main local forces in Anhui County to a number of political affairs related to the people's livelihood, and asked very carefully, which shocked Huang Ming's dark center, but he didn't expect the general to be so proficient in political affairs and people's livelihood.

Power will make people awe-inspired, and ability will also make people awe-inspired, and when power and ability are combined, the power will naturally be greater.

After Zhang Liao inquired about the situation in Anhui City, he was also quite satisfied with Huang Ming's Anhui order, and after half an hour, he stopped the topic and said softly: "Huang County Order, the Zhong clan has been destroyed, from now on, Jiujiang and Lujiang are all under the rule of the imperial court, and you will continue to do the Anhui order, protect one side for the imperial court, be sympathetic to the people's feelings, and put the people's affairs first, may it be done?" ”

Huang Ming was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "I will live up to the hope of the general!" ”

He thought that he couldn't do this county order, but he didn't expect Zhang Liao to let him continue to be a county order. Although the county order is small in the imperial court, it is the only person in power in the local area, and Huang Ming is naturally happy to be able to keep the county order.

Zhang Liao nodded: "Open the city gate, the imperial court will take over the defense of Anhui County, separate the military and the government, and perform their duties." ”

"Yui." Huang Ming saluted respectfully.

Zhang Liao said again: "The Liu family is my life-saving benefactor, and I also ask Huang County to take care of it in the future." ”

Huang Ming's body was shocked, and he couldn't help but glance at Liu Qiao in astonishment, he finally understood all the reasons for today's situation, it turned out that Liu Qiao was the general's life-saving benefactor!

Thinking that he almost offended Liu Qiao because of a preconceived misunderstanding, he was afraid for a while, but fortunately he missed the old feelings, although the misunderstanding was not bad.

In this way, Huang Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of envy in his heart, Liu Fu was afraid that it would be prosperous in the future, and it seemed that he was going to change his attitude towards Liu Fu cautiously.
