Outside Anfeng City, county Yin Qitian led the chief bookkeeper, county lieutenant and other officials to stand respectfully in front of the city gate, waiting patiently.

From noon to unitary hour, several officials waited a little impatiently, and began to talk in whispers.

A young officer shouted, "Hey, who's going to tell me who we've been waiting for?"

"Mao Gui, General Mao." The little official with a mouth full of beard said in a deep voice, with irrevocable reverence in his eyes.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

When the surrounding officials heard this, their faces showed surprise and exclaimed one after another.

"Oh my God, it's Yum General Mao Gui, he is the person I admire the most."

"This General Mao is the god of war of our Red Turban Army, who has gone through more than 100 battles and has never been defeated."

"If it's really General Mao, let us wait for a year, and we're willing."

……

The young official quietly poked his beard and said with a smile: "Bearded, you can deceive others with your lies, but you can't help me." General Mao is General Liu's right-hand man, and if he doesn't train the army well in Bozhou City, what are you doing here? ”

"What do you know?" The beard glanced at him angrily, "General Mao is here this time to protect an important person and rush to Bozhou, otherwise how could he come to Anfeng Town in a good manner?" ”

The young official leaned forward and asked with a shy face, "Brother Wang, do you know where this big man is?" Is it worth a trip from General Mao himself? ”

The beard opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he was interrupted by an abrupt cry.

"It's coming, General Mao is here!"

A sharp-eyed official, pointing to the smoke and dust at the end of his vision, shouted excitedly.

A group of officials hurriedly put away their laziness, arranged their official uniforms one after another, and stood in a row in an orderly manner - General Mao could not be allowed to despise us lower-level officials; is active, and is already thinking about how to leave a good impression in front of General Mao.

Qi Tian was about to meet him from a distance, but when he saw the person who took the lead, it was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, he couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head and whispered to the scout black monkey: "I didn't expect that General Mao, who is famous all over the world, is so young, a hero is a teenager, and the ancients don't deceive me!" ”

The black monkey scratched his head and smiled: "Qi County Yin is afraid that he has recognized the wrong person." This is our son Han Alang, Han Lin'er Langjun! The one tightly attached to the back is General Mao! ”

"Han Lin'er?" Qi Tian muttered his name, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he asked tentatively, "But the son of King Han Ming?" ”

King Han Ming was Han Shantong, the leader of the Red Turban Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Because of the spread of the White Lotus Sect, he boasted that he was "Maitreya was born" and "King Ming was born", so after Han Shantong died, he was honored as "King Han Ming".

"Exactly." The black monkey suddenly felt a light on his face, and said proudly: "I waited for this trip to Dangshan County to welcome Han Lang to Bozhou to take charge of the power at the behest of General Liu. General Mao didn't want to meet with the Tartars, so he took a long detour to Anfeng City, but it was cheap for you Qi County Yin, and I don't know what a blessing I had in my previous life, so I had such a good thing, and I would have to entertain Han Lang later. ”

"If you want it, you want it."

Qi Tian's old face smiled as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum, and he didn't care about his identity, so he hurriedly trotted up to meet him.

"Han Lang's trip has been hard all the way, and Yin Qitian, the official of Fengcheng County, led 14 officials of all sizes in the city to welcome Han Lang."

There was still a foot away from Han Lin'er, so Qi Tian stopped and respectfully saluted the former.

When the official behind him heard this, he hurriedly slowed down and followed closely to bow down.

Han Lin'er turned over and dismounted, handed the reins in his hand to the black monkey, and said with a smile: "This is the third time I have ridden a horse, it's so cool, it's so fast, I feel like I'm going to the sky." ”

The black monkey, who had long been accustomed to Han Lin'er's strange words, smiled, pointed to Qi Tian not far away, and reminded: "Han Lang, this is Qi County Yin, and those who worship behind him are all officials from Anfeng City, there are fourteen people in total, and none of them are absent." ”

Han Lin'er raised her sword eyebrows and said, "You have worked hard, come with me and enter the city." ”

"Whoa!"

When Han Lin'er and the others entered the city, a scout carrying important information was rushing towards Anfeng City non-stop.

Although the horse under the crotch was tired and out of breath, the scout Liu Qi did not dare to stop and rest, and kept urging with the horse whip, trying his best to hurry.

Finally, when there were still a few hundred meters away from Anfeng City, Liu Qi's mount stumbled forward, and the horse's body fell to the ground with a bang, streams of white foam overflowed from his mouth, and his limbs twitched for a while, and he stopped moving.

Before the war horse fell to the ground, Liu Qi rolled off the horse, glanced at the beloved horse distressedly, and resolutely ran towards Anfeng City.

At this time, the gates were closed.

Liu Qi had no choice but to call the city loudly.

"Who are you?"

Above the city gate, a junior colonel heard the sound and asked sharply.

Liu Qi replied breathlessly: "I am a subordinate of General Mao, you open the city gate quickly, I have something important to face General Mao." ”

The colonel asked, "Is there a token of General Mao?" ”

"Yes." Liu Qi nodded, groped out a gold-inlaid token from his arms, and waved it towards the city, "This is General Mao's general order." ”

"Put it on the basket, and when I verify it, I'll let you into the city."

Xiao Xiao Xiao put down a sentence, turned around and took a hanging basket, and slowly put it down.

Liu Qi put the token up, and it didn't take long for the city gate to open, and the little colonel walked out quickly, saying, "The general has worked hard, do you want to go into the city to rest for a while?" ”

Liu Qi shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but the military situation is urgent, and there is no time to rest, so you should take me to General Mao." ”

"Whoa."

The little colonel agreed and led Liu Qi to Zuichun Tower.

Zuichun Building, the largest restaurant in Anfeng City.

It is the place that Qi Tian used to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Han Lin'er and others.

Knowing that Han Lin'er is a big thick leg, Qi Tian will of course do his best to be courteous, in the hope of being able to hug his thighs and soar from then on.

At the banquet, Qi Tian not only toasted Han Lin'er many times, but also invited the top Oiran of Anfeng City to play music and dance for Han Lin'er and others.

Those officials who admired General Mao's prestige gathered around Mao Gui, drank and chatted, and listened carefully to his account of the thrilling battles of each battle.

For a while, it was not lively.

After three rounds of drinking, someone suddenly ran in from outside the door, trotted to Mao Gui's side, and whispered.

After Mao Gui listened, he said "bother" to the officials, asked the black monkey to accompany him for the wine, and turned around and walked towards an empty table in the corner.

Han Lin'er saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but walk up and ask, "Brother Mao, what's wrong?" ”

"The messenger I sent two days ago to deliver a letter to General Liu in Bozhou has returned to Anfeng City."

"That's a good thing."

"It takes five days to go to Bozhou here, day and night, and it takes ten days to come back and forth, how can you come back now?"

Han Lin'er was not so entangled with him, and said with a smile: "Call in and ask." ”

"I forgot about it." Mao Gui smiled awkwardly, and then ordered his subordinates to bring the messenger in.

After thinking about it, Mao Gui opened his mouth to stop the next person, and said: "It's inconvenient to see him here, you bring people upstairs to the private room, remember to talk to Qi County Yin." ”

"Whoa!" The subordinate agreed and took the order.

Mao Gui waved towards Han Lin'er and said, "Han Lang, sit here for a while, I'll come when I go." ”

Han Lin'er got up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Mao Gui hesitated for a moment, nodded, and walked to the private room on the second floor with Han Lin'er.
