The city festival activities in Changshan County made a lot of people from four towns and eight miles, including Longhu Mountain Xie Jianiang and others, and even Princess Wannian sent a representative to send a handwritten eulogy, which can be said to be the ultimate in the respect of this event.

The event was a grand event, with more than 30,000 people attending the festival, and even though a temporary camp was set up outside the southern city, it was still crowded.

In order to prevent the outbreak of the enemy's situation, Zhao Yun urgently deployed 5,000 soldiers from the military camp to join the vigilance of the four cities, and the security in the city was also paralyzed, Zhou Liang, who was in charge of the city defense and security work, assigned more than 10 teams with a total of more than 300 people, and carried out meticulous patrols around the whole city not only on the main roads, but also on the lanes, and their purpose was to ensure the smooth progress of the city sacrifice activities.

Yuan Lang and Zhang Ning's attendance was only symbolic, and Zang Hong was single-handedly involved in the preparation and conduct of this city festival, except for reading a memorial text written by someone else, and the rest of the work was handed over to Zang Hong to execute, which can be regarded as busy.

This event was held in a hurry, but due to Zang Hong's meticulous arrangement, scheduling, and the support of all forces, it can be regarded as only carried out in an orderly and orderly manner.

Everyone has money to contribute, and a mourning meeting that carries the whole city is carried out in this southern city that has not yet been repaired from the ruins.

When it was nearly dusk, the people attending the meeting did not have time to eat lunch, so they sadly carried the coffin of the deceased to a public cemetery opened by the county guard, and they wanted to bury the bodies of their relatives under this land with their own hands, so that they could all be buried in peace.

This is a large mass grave, all the coffins have been lowered with hanging ropes, and after a brief ceremony, people begin to fill in the earth, and for a while the sound of dripping cries resounded in the wilderness, and the sad people were saying their final goodbyes to their loved ones.

Half an hour later, with the last slope of loess covered, this giant burial tomb was finally completed, the craftsmen brought a huge stone of Mount Tai, which was written with "Changshan County Martyrs' Tomb" six vermilion characters, used to erect at the front end of the cemetery, it announced that the descendants were buried here for the people who had died heroically for the defense of Changshan County.

Many people wept and came to the tombstone, they held on to the tombstone and wept for a long time and refused to leave, the sky was getting dark, and there were still many people in front of the cemetery to light braziers and burn some dark paper to express their grief for the loss of their loved ones.

Yuan Lang and Zhang Ning also left very late, if it weren't for the fact that they had to go to Bai Shuai Zhang Baiqi's mansion tonight to congratulate him on his housewarming, I'm afraid he would have left even later.

Zhang Baiqi's mansion is located half an hour east of the county guard's mansion, Yuan Lang and Zhang Ning did not return to the house, but rushed directly to the direction of Dongcheng, accompanied by Zang Hong and Zhao Yun, and the rest of the people were not alarmed.

When he arrived at the door of Zhang Baiqi's mansion, Yuan Lang did not see a festive scene, but like other private houses, white paper lanterns and white silk were hung in front of the mansion.

The housewarming is a festive event, and Zhang Baiqi did this, thinking that it was because today was not the same as before, but the day of the city sacrifice, so what he did was also praised by Yuan Lang.

Entering Zhang's mansion, Zhang Baiqi, who learned of Yuan Lang's arrival, took his daughter Zhang Ruyan out of the hall to greet him, and when he saw Zhang Ning there, Zhang Ruyan happily pulled her to visit the newly moved boudoir, as for Yuan Lang and others, they were welcomed into the inner hall by Zhang Baiqi, and they sat down as masters and servants, and then the wine was prepared and their conversation began.

"My lord, the city sacrifice ceremony has just ended, and you should go back to your house to rest, but you have come to congratulate you in order to settle down in the lower house, which is really a sin!" Zhang Baiqi personally took the wine from the handmaid, and handed it to Yuan Lang, Zang Hong, and Zhao Yun respectively, and then said, "Brother Ziyuan, Brother Zilong, although there was a hurry at the celebration banquet, Bai has already regarded the two as confidants and friends, and the two can come with the lord, which is really brilliant!" ”

"Bai Shuai, you are our senior, today's new house is a happy event, how can we not come!" Yuan Lang, as the leader of these people, naturally took the lead in speaking, only to hear him continue, "I thought that Bai Shuai, your house should be crowded with guests and friends who came to congratulate now, but I didn't expect that only the three of us came, even if the others didn't know, didn't Bai Bo, Yu Yigen, Li Damu, Zhang Leigong, the old men of the Yellow Turban Army know?" ”

Yuan Lang expressed the doubts in his heart, although he didn't want to be too grand and conspicuous on the day of the city festival, but it was still okay to simply celebrate Zhang Baiqi, but he didn't expect that Zhang's mansion was deserted, could it be that the friendship of the Yellow Turban Army was weak.

Zang Hong and Zhao Yun have the same doubts, but because of Zhang Baiqi's face, they have not broken it, Zhang Baiqi's identity has long been heard of by the two of them, and the prestige of the Yellow Turban Army is probably second only to the existence of the Heavenly Maiden Zhang Ning, and now such a white handsome with high prestige actually has no one to celebrate on the big day of housewarming, they really want to hear what is going on.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be very concerned about this issue, Zhang Baiqi had no choice but to return to his seat, and then he toasted everyone with a bottle of wine, and finally said slowly, saying: "It's not a secret, just last night, there were already more than a dozen old friends who wanted to enter the house to celebrate for him, but Bai thought that the city sacrifice was to raise the city to mourn the deceased, and there should be no sound of etiquette and music in the house or even in the city, if it wasn't for the injury not healed, Bai would not have missed the opportunity to pay tribute to the deceased, now that I think about it, I also feel a little guilty." Second, Bai has been wandering all his life, and he has long been accustomed to being home everywhere, and moving into a new house is just one of the temporary residences, no need to be so grand and formal, just wait for the lord to give an order, even if Bai someone goes to the soup, he will run around to fight for the lord, and will never retreat! ”

Didn't everyone understand when they heard this, it turned out that it was not that Bai Shuai Zhang Baiqi was snubbed, but that he declined everyone's kindness with grief, and the implication was that if Yuan Lang hadn't arrived in person, I am afraid that with the face of Zang Hong and Zhao Yun, he would not necessarily be welcomed into the mansion.

However, these words have a different charm in Yuan Lang's ears, he thought that Zhang Baiqi would retire due to injury, but he never thought that his passion was not extinguished for a moment, if he did not entrust him with a heavy responsibility according to Zhang Ning's intentions, I am afraid that it will not only disobey Zhang Ning's good intentions, but also cool Zhang Baiqi's heart to share his worries.

"Bai Shuai, we understand what you mean, thank you for the sacrifice you made for the city sacrifice!" Yuan Lang then said solemnly, "Bai Shuai, in fact, I still have something to ask for when I came tonight, I wonder if Bai Shuai is willing to go out of the mountain again and share my worries?" ”
