The county guard is a man of about forty years old, with a bit of bookish breath on his body, but perhaps because he has been immersed in officialdom for too long, he is full of ability, and immediately after I sat down, he led a group of officials to kneel down again, and said: "The county guard of Yanmen County is flamboyant, and he leads the officials of a county to see the prince!" ”

“……”

I was a little unaccustomed to it, to be specific, very unaccustomed to being called like this, but I still raised my hand and said, "Adults don't have to be formal, get up!" ”

"Yes, Marquis!"

Zhang Yang and the others got up.

Zhang Lingyue stood beside me, as if he was an assistant in handling official business, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, what is the matter of leading so many officials to the military camp to meet our commander this time?" ”

Zhang Yang hesitated slightly, but finally said in a deep voice: "Yanmen County is the fief of the prince, and we are officials under the rule of the prince, so we should take the initiative to come to visit the prince." ”

"That being said."

I glanced at him and said, "But the Flowing Fire Legion is a border army, the situation is different, there is no need to come to visit again after this time, just exchange letters normally, after all, there is instability outside the Yanmen Pass, maybe when the Alien Demon Legion will call, then we will not have time to take care of your local officials." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Yang said: "But Yanmen County is a big county after all, with a rich population and a wide range of arable land, so I didn't come in vain when I came this time, and brought some materials from the county town to give to the adults, hoping to contribute one or two to the Flowing Fire Legion." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Lingyue smiled: "What did you bring?" ”

Zhang Yang turned around and an official on the left, who seemed to be in charge of the account books, immediately took out a scroll from his long sleeves with trembling hands, unfolded it and said: "This time, I have raised a total of 800,000 gold, 23,000 sheep, 9,500 cattle, 700 war horses, 30,000 stone grain and grass, as well as 3,000 young men and 1,000 young women. ”

I was stunned.

"Your Excellency?"

Zhang Lingyue asked.

I slowly stood up and said, "Three thousand young men are left, we just lack soldiers, just one thousand women will be brought back, my soldiers will sew and wash by themselves, no need for their help, publicity." ”

"Yes, sir!"

When I called his name, the county magistrate fell to his knees again in fright.

I looked at him with a staring eye and said with a smile: "To be honest, along the way, there are not many good local officials I have seen, all of them are fish and meat people, corpses and vegetarian meals, before you came, I was thinking about whether the officials in my fiefdom would be better?" This time, if you only send gold, silver and women, I will definitely give you fifty military sticks each, and even directly correct your army, but you not only sent gold and silver, but also sent cattle, sheep, war horses, grain and grass and other materials, as well as soldiers, so ......"

I slowly walked to the front of the handsome case, learned to be unheard, and made a more standard bow to them, lowered my waist, and said: "So this time I want to thank you, these materials are the most scarce things in the Flowing Fire Legion, I hope you can treat the people well after you go back, and govern the state and county more diligently, so I will be more pleased, rest assured, you can let go of governance, I, the Marquis of Beiliang, will not interfere with the place." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Yang trembled, his eyes were full of gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Junhou!" ”

The crowd knelt down again.

I nodded and smiled: "Zhang Lingyue, take all the adults down, count all kinds of materials, and include them in the material library of the Flowing Fire Legion, in addition, let you rest in the barracks today, and leave tomorrow, and take them to watch our night martial arts confrontation at night, and let you adults feel the style of the barracks." ”

Zhang Yang and the others nodded again and again: "Thank you, sir!" ”

……

Late at night.

Yanmen is closed, I don't have anything to do, the construction task on the side of Chaoge City is actually not bad for me, and if I did the task in the past, the reward I got was actually quite average, it was better to stay in Yanmen Pass, as long as I was there, I could trigger some complaints similar to "county officials visiting", and then I could get a very rich merit and experience points, which was much stronger than the task of brushing the territory.

The night wind blows to the bones like a knife on the body.

"It's snowing!"

I don't know who shouted, but all the soldiers raised their torches in unison and let out cheers.

In the air, there were snowflakes drifting away, not big, only snowflakes the size of fingernails, falling on my body cold, and I was sitting on the edge of the city wall, holding the pheasant in one hand, bored.

It's also snowing at Yanmen Pass.

Beiliang Province is located in the north, snow is a very common thing, I don't know when Suzhou will have a first snow this year, remember the previous years will fall, just a small one, the climate in the south is like this, especially Suzhou, a city in the south of the Yangtze River, it is really difficult to think of a heavy snowfall, can see snowflakes every year, should be content.

But what about the white bird?

My heart suddenly moved, looking up at the night sky, although I couldn't see far, but in my heart I remembered that extremely special puppet, Shiratori is everywhere special, she is completely different from Orange Night, compared to Orange Night, Shiratori is more like a living girl, with her own personality, and Orange Night is just obeying orders.

Looking into the distance, could that be the direction in which Shiratori will go to practice?

She says she wants to get back to her true self, but does she really know who she is?

Not necessarily, her identity is too mysterious, I'm afraid that even Uncle Lin Fengnian doesn't know what the white bird is about, and the last time the white bird secretly threatened Uncle Lin, this scene lingered in my mind, I still remember the white bird's expression at that time, domineering, and a little naughty, the girl's heart is like this.

"Don't get into trouble......"

I exhaled a mouthful of white mist, and couldn't help frowning, I don't know why, at this moment, I actually began to worry about the white bird.

……

"Huh!"

A snow-white figure fell from the sky, just sitting beside me so pretty, white clothes are better than snow, and an incomparably profound sword intent is hidden in the delicate body, not showing its edge.

"Who?!"

A group of guards of the Burning Fire Legion drew their swords one after another.

"It's okay, stand down!"

I waved my hand and said with a smile: "It's my senior sister!" ”

"Yes, it turned out to be Lord Yunyue......"

Everyone retreated one after another, and some even evacuated the city directly, everyone knew that with Jing Yunyue alone, the security level of Yanmen Pass was more than that of a first-class legion.

"What's wrong? Got something on your mind? Senior Sister Yun tilted her head and asked with a smile.

"It's okay, nothing big about it."

I smiled slightly, turned to look at Senior Sister Yun, and said, "Why is Senior Sister so free to come to our Yanmen Pass?" ”

She smiled: "There are too many official duties, and I am tired of watching, so I came out to take a breath, and felt that your breath was in Yanmenguan, so I flew over to see you." ”

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Yes, it's only been a long time, and she has already stepped into the middle stage of the Eternal Realm." ”

"Already in the middle of the Eternal Realm?"

I was stunned.

"Hmm."

"I didn't feel it myself." I was a little stupid, but I was thinking in my heart, most of it was the cultivation on the Great Wall of Kendo, that grinding, coupled with the acquisition of the power of mountains and seas, and the transformation of swordsmanship in reality, which made my realm in the game also advance with the rivers and rivers, and I quietly stepped into the middle of the eternal realm.

What is the concept of the middle stage of the eternal realm?

I thought about it, it is about stronger than the three princes of Zhenyang, Covering Rain, and Juding Gong, compared to the wind, the cultivation of the wind phase is the late stage of the eternal realm, close to consummation, and His Majesty Xuanyuan Ying's cultivation can be called the best in the human race, the great consummation of the eternal realm, only one step away from breaking the realm to the quasi-god realm, but it is this step, he has not been able to step out for many years.

If you can't take this step, you can only stay in the eternal realm for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to see the infinite scenery above the eternal realm until your life is exhausted.

……

"Senior sister."

"Huh?"

She glanced at me obliquely, admiring the snow.

I said to myself: "I feel that I am worried about too many things now, so that it affects my state of mind, on the one hand, I am too worried about the Flowing Fire Legion, worried about what will happen in the Legion, and I am also worried that the Alien Demon Legion will suddenly launch an attack and send elite forces to attack Yanmen Pass, and then the Flowing Fire Legion will be defeated, and I am also worried that Chaoge City will not be able to hold it, and everyone's hard work for many days will be in vain, in addition, Xiao Qian is still lukewarm to Ah Fei, I am worried that Ah Fei will not be able to think of jumping off the building or something, and, Shiratori said that he wanted to go out to practice, but she hadn't appeared for a long time, and I was a little worried about her, and besides, although the Dragon Domain was very calm now, I was worried about what kind of conspiracy Lin Hai would have, and he was planning against his senior sister, and senior sister was in the open, which was always bad. ”

She listened to my fragmented thoughts, and just smiled and nodded.

I frowned, looked up and felt the flying snow in the air fall on my face, and said: "In reality, I am worried that the guide will really have some way to directly intervene in reality, I am afraid that there will be a third form of strange things in the transcendent plan, and I may not be able to suppress it with my strength at that time, I am afraid that many people will be killed, I am worried that I will lose my father, sister, and I am also afraid that I will lose Lin Xiaoxi, Shen Mingxuan, Ruyi and other people close to me, but senior sister, I can't do anything, an extraordinary plan is enough to make me turn around, And I still haven't figured out what the guide is going to do, let alone how to save Li Xiaoyao, Fang Geque, and Lao Han. ”

Jing Yunyue looked at me with a smile, but did not speak.

I also looked at her: "Senior sister, do you know that you are real?" Do you know you're here...... In my case, it is not real, and what I see may just be a spiritual power of yours. ”

She chuckled, "I know." ”
