Takayanagi Castle, the seat of the Daigun.

This city, which was not very conspicuous or majestic, has experienced several battles of no small scale in the past year, the city gate alone has been breached three times, and the city walls are even more devastated.

However, thankfully, the flag of the Bingzhou Army is still flying here, which also means that even after such a hard battle, the people of Bingzhou are still the masters of this place, and they still guard the territory under their rule.

However, at this time, the atmosphere in the city of Takayanagi Castle was not as pleasant as it seemed, and the streets were sparse, except for the soldiers patrolling with weapons in their hands, occasionally one or two pedestrians hurried by, everyone had a sad look on their faces, and after walking a few steps, they couldn't help but look up at the sky, or in the direction where the Taishou Mansion was located, and then quickly lowered their heads, as if nothing had happened just now, and so on, so that the travelers who passed by here were completely confused.

What the hell is going on, why do the soldiers and civilians in this city look so weird, could it be that something big is happening?!

On the Taishou Mansion in Takayanagi Castle.

If this mansion is purely in terms of floor area, it is definitely enough to be the three words of Taishou Mansion, when Li Shushi served as Taishou in Xihe, the Taishou Mansion in Shicheng was not as big as this one in Gaoliu City at the beginning.

But even if you were standing outside the gate of the Taishou Mansion, you wouldn't think that this would be the highest administrative body in the entire Dai County.

Because in addition to the area of a qiē. This Taishou Mansion is really sorry for its identity and status.

There are many incomplete places in the outer wall, even two places that have completely collapsed, and the rest of the "small problems" such as cracking are countless, and almost every section of the wall can clearly see the typhoid fever formed by being cut by swords and other weapons, if you look carefully, you can also find the cluster of arrows stuck in the cracks of the wall that have not had time to recover, and other similar chisel wounds formed by feather arrows are also countless, even several times more than sword wounds.

As for the Taishou Mansion, there is no grass and tree rockery that represents leisure and elegance. Pavilions. Or maybe there used to be these things that represented the owner's style, but now, it has become a bare piece, but it is very clean. But if you look closely. It is also possible to identify the original facilities that were originally stored here from some clues.

The only one in the Taishou Mansion that looks passable. It is a residence used for rest in the palace, and it looks new, although it is not very magnificent. But as long as something is new, it will inevitably give people a slightly cheerful feeling.

It's just that when you go around the entire government office and not only the office place, this new feeling will turn into a feeling of consternation.

If you can remember the marks on the wall, you may understand what happened here.

The fierce battles had apparently destroyed the place, and the buildings that had been rebuilt were probably just temporary structures, and at some point they would turn into a pile of rubble.

But even if the Taishou Mansion has become what it is now, but surprisingly, the security in the city is very good, and it can almost be called a road that is not left behind, and both the military and civilians in the city are very polite, even if there is an occasional dispute, a third party will soon come forward and quickly solve the matter, and there is very little need for the Taishou Mansion or the county government to appear.

County government, county government...... Well, if you can still find an approximate idea in Taishoufu, then in this Gaoliu City, you will definitely not find a cunzài named the county ya. Although I don't know where the county government has gone, we can guess from the state of the blank areas in Takayanagi City, after all, if all kinds of rolling wood and thunder stones are needed, the materials of the county government should obviously be more robust and durable.

This is Takayanagi today, and it looks so dilapidated.

But even in such a ruined city, the soldiers and civilians in the city seemed to be very nervous, but no enemy dared to make this place their target again, because the soldiers and civilians here had proved their strength and indomitable with iron and blood.

Of course, the price paid was as painful as that of their enemies.

Stepping on the rubble that had not been cleaned up and there was still a little remnant of the rubble, making a rustling sound, a slender figure walked out of one of the few large houses in the Taishou Mansion, and stayed in the blank "back garden", his eyes were full of confusion.

"What is the situation, should I make some preparations for the funeral, or, according to the lord, prepare a 'bento'?"

Suddenly, from somewhere, a deep voice came. Although the words may sound more ridiculous, if you only look at the tone, you can't think of the word ridicule in any way, and you may even feel that the other party should have seriously thought about the feasibility of the content of the discourse, rather than as a joke that can ease the atmosphere.

"Sure enough, it's like your plan, and it always makes people feel downright ruthless, just like those gods."

"I don't know anything about the gods, just as I never think about the mysterious people who often appear around my lord, and I don't try to understand the things that will get me into great trouble. But my ruthlessness is what the lord needs, and since the lord has given me a very safe environment, then I will pay enough in return. ”

"But you must know that the most important 'relative' lying there is what you call the 'lord' and the most important 'relative'! Do you think your lord will be able to give you what you want after knowing what is going on here? ”

"Hehe, I don't think these words should come from your mouth. Although I have no intention of inquiring into where you came from, I do know more or less about the extraordinary connection you have with your lord. Even if you resist this connection all the time, after all this time, you still can't fundamentally change it, am I right? ”

"Don't you think this kind of behavior is a fool of the dead, especially the ...... who has turned such a proud person into what he is today?"

"Perhaps, but judging from my life experience over the years, it may be cruel to give up something other precious in order to get something, but if you want to get one, then you can only get nothing."

"I know. I know. But just because I know and clearly know the cause of a qiē, it is even more uncomfortable! ”

"Sure enough, as the lord said, maybe you are really more suitable to be a woman. Crying is no different from that of an ordinary woman. ”

"I'm a woman through and through now, okay! Even if you really like to cry, it's not like a man. It's not me who is wrong! ”

"You feel like you're the one who values. Is it the loss of you that makes her feel more painful, or is it just something that has increased or decreased in her body? Your friends think better than you do, and so does your lord. That's why people like me can be accepted by the lord, because if he wants to achieve his ideals, both my kind and my means must be preserved. ”

“…… Created and then destroyed, once hated each other, but ended up loving each other, happy because of the encounter, hated because of separation, moved because of the companionship, sad because of having to be alone, happiness is always so short-lived......"

"Even if you are destined to return to the eternal sleep of death, you are at least happy because of the momentary encounter, haven't you?"

"It doesn't look like a man like you would say it."

"It's just that I've recently read some religious books from Guishan that have been translated, and I'm just a little touched."

"But for the dead, it is possible to leave with the good that once was, but for the living, that pain and blow ......"

"The old man is not dead yet, you two bastards don't discuss the dead and dead things there, are you planning to curse me to death!!"

Just when the conversation between the sinister man hidden in the shadows and the green-haired woman standing in the open space "enjoying" the sunshine fell into a strange state, suddenly, a loud sound echoed in the empty courtyard, and an old man with a cane, white beard and angry face suddenly rushed out of the room where the green-haired girl was staying.

Facing the old man who blew his beard and stared, the green-haired woman no longer had the melancholy and sorrow of talking about life and death just now, but immediately closed her eyes, hugged her head and squatted to defend herself, and after getting closer, she could faintly hear "I am made of clay, not delicious, not delicious at all" Such words of unknown meaning, and a magical liquid with a scientific name of salt water mixture faintly appeared in the corner of her eye.

Although it looked quite unimpressive, it also managed to make the old man who raised the cane no longer able to get down, and could only stare at the wonderful storage in front of him that exuded the aura of "hurry up and bully me" and sighed fiercely, and stomped the cane in his hand hard.

It's just a pity that although this appearance was like a bolt from the blue, it was really thunderous, but it was ......

"I didn't pay attention to it just now, why did I run out again, didn't those witch doctors say, you have to recuperate, you must not be angry, it's really disobedient!"

With this complaining voice, the old man who was still in high spirits just now immediately looked depressed, and his face showed a flattering expression that was diametrically opposed to just now - it was exactly the same as the reaction of the green-haired girl just now, but unfortunately the person who spoke was obviously more ruthless than the old man, and he didn't give the old man a chance to speak at all, so he moved hard, almost using the "resistance" method to get the old man back into the house, leaving only the famous line "I will come back" like a meteor flashing outside the house!

"Has the gentleman already figured out how to write a report on the situation of the battle this time?"

There were two people who rushed out, but only one person was needed to carry the old man back, and the other person did not return to the house, but stood not far from the green-haired girl, facing the blue sky overhead.

Of course, this is not a unique brainwave signal to a civilization in outer space, and naturally the person who receives these sound signals will not be misunderstood.

"There were a lot of accidents in this battle, and the strength of these unexpected enemies was far beyond imagination, so I made a big mistake in my calculations. It can be said that if it weren't for the feeling of the division and the thousands of miles to help, maybe this battle would have lost one or two generals. ”

"What is the origin of the enemy this time, it looks unpredictable, although it is very unpleasant to hide the head and show the tail, but the strength is indeed surprising, if it was in the Western Regions, there were such characters in the enemy array, we want to win the final victory, but I am afraid that there is still quite a lot of difficulty. There is even a great possibility that we will be the losing side. ”

"There's probably nothing we can do about it. Perhaps only the lord and the lady know the inside story. ”

"Sir really thinks so, but maybe there is only one explanation, the strength of those people...... I think it's even no less than the overlord of Western Chu I've ever seen, both in terms of strength and a sense of oppression. All are very powerful. ”

"I'll wait for the lord to come back and do a detailed review. Let's talk about your master. What the hell is going on? ”

"Master...... The situation is not good, because he is very cheerful and optimistic. But that means it's bad. ”

Jia Xu noticed that the exhaustion and haggard on Zhao Yun's delicate face were much deeper than a few days ago, and he knew that the situation was only a few points worse than he said, you must know that in the face of a strong enemy some time ago, even if he didn't sleep for three days and three nights in a row, Zhao Yun was only a little tired, but now he can clearly see all kinds of signs on his face that are different from the past, you can imagine how much effort Zhao Yun has spent on his master Tong Yuan's injury in the past few days, and Zhang Xiu in the house, I am afraid that it will not be much better.

"Don't look at him with a cane now, as if he was going to fight someone for three hundred rounds, but do you know, last night he sneaked out while we weren't looking, intending to play a few ways with his beloved spear, but after only a few swings, the spear that would never leave his hand no matter what, even if he died, fell to the ground so weakly, and we also found the bloodstains that Master wanted to cover up but couldn't completely cover up because of the darkness...... You know what I'm talking about. ”

"The inability to wield a spear that is not too heavy, and the fact that it bleeds when it is wielded, is obviously a sign that both arms are dead, and with some reactions on weekdays, it can be concluded that there is no hope of recovery. Also, isn't Komeito also in a state of semi-ruin? It's just that Gongming is a young man after all, full of qi and blood, and his body is strong, and there is always the possibility of recovery, but even so, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go further in martial arts. I'm also a Taoist priest, and I'm still involved in these things.

In addition, in fact, Zilong, your current state is the same, you have the same strength as an overlord, even the female wrestler who doesn't know where the lord found it has suffered a lot of losses, your strength is not as good as Fengxian and Bo Ren, so it's very hard to block it, I remember that even if you are not in the army, you have to practice for at least an hour every morning. ”

"I still need to take care of my master, how can I be in the mood to practice martial arts? On the contrary, it is more impetuous, it is better to pause for a few days, wait until the heart calms down, and redouble the effort. It's hard to say that when Mr. Cheng is upset, he can still taste the samadhi in the book. ”

Regarding Zhao Yun's answer, Jia Xu seemed to be a little noncommittal, and after a while, he said again:

"With the current situation, Zilong, do you think Su Wenshi can afford all the affairs of Daijun? You must know that Yang Wenxian's bones are not cold, and Su Wenshi was also seriously injured in this battle, although his people are brave and strategic, but the enemy is far from being good. ”

"It's not like I, a general, should me, interfere in such a thing, I'd better not hear anything."

"General Zilong is thinking about it, this war is basically commanded by you, so you are naturally the one who reports this qiē to the lord in the end, so you also have to think about the issues related to it in advance, and the lord may ask your opinion."

Su Wenshi's name is Su Ze, a virtuous talent from Fufeng martial arts, very young and named Yangzhou County, and was promoted as filial piety and Maocai, but just like the habits of most celebrities in the Eastern Han Dynasty, filial piety and Maocai are naturally extremely welcome, but when you come out to be an official, you have to think twice, and the result of thinking twice is basically staying at home directly, and it seems that eight cows can't pull away.

Such a character, in the face of Li Shushi's conquest, did not resist as much as before, probably because he was not young anymore, and he had reached the age when he should think about his family, and Li Shushi didn't like the officialdom style of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which happened to be in Guanzhong. Naturally, he wants to implement his "new policy" -- if you want to be an official, please come out; If you don't plan to be an official, the state army will not force it, but not to mention that you can only stay at home in this life, and even your descendants may not get the opportunity to be an official, and because of your non-cooperation, you and your family are suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and you need to pay close attention. Anyway, it won't stink.

It can only be said. With years of investment in education, and as a conqueror, he has enough power in his hands, so that Li Shushi has enough confidence to carry out such an edict, and he does not need to keep visiting his home to ask for a meeting as he did at the beginning, but also depending on the mood of others.

It's not a place that Li Shushi can't reach. Nature is powerless. The whip is out of reach. Under his command, he also intends to play the trick of China; Li Shushi doesn't mind fighting the local tyrants again to divide the land and drown you in the vast sea of the people's war.

Anyway, most of the landlords are not very clean these days. There is an excuse for wanting to make trouble.

After dealing with several families that were not open-minded, whether they were from a prominent family such as Yang Biao or hidden in the opposition such as Su Ze, they all had to take office in accordance with the guidelines set by Li Shushi, and they also had to work hard in their new posts to win the favor of the new regime.

In fact, for Su Ze, Li Shushi originally planned to arrange a more important county for him, such as Liyang, Wu'an or Guantao in Wei County, and Huai County in Hanoi, Anyi in Hedong, Chang'an in Jingzhao and other counties, but who would have thought that after Yang Biao went to Dai County to take office, he didn't even have a hot ass, so he was beheaded in a conspiracy.

In a hurry, Li Shushi could only send someone to recall Su Ze, who was about to go to Chang'an, and let him serve as the acting county guard.

It is said that if this kind of thing is changed to ordinary people, it is really possible to rub it out and wait until the situation in the north is clear, and then go to work.

But a good Su Wenshi, although he was hiding at home and unwilling to go out, but once he chose to go out, he was conscientious and not afraid of danger, like relatives and friends around him who concealed his order to go to death, and found an excuse to enter Gaoliu alone.

His appearance may not have played a great role in the whole war, but it can still greatly boost the morale of the front-line soldiers.

With the table in this war as the foundation, it can be said that as long as Su Ze's table is not bad in the next three to five years, then even if he cannot be promoted to the high position of the state assassin history, he may not be able to become the Taishou of such an important county as Jingzhao and Luoyang.

"Mr. Wenhe is right, Yun has been taught."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yun saluted to the shadows, and then walked straight back to the house, and soon, Tong Yuan's scolding like an old child came from inside the house, as well as the persuasion of two people who were as reluctant but unwavering as the angry bag.

Such voices have often sounded these days, and everyone has long been surprised.

"It seems that the grasslands in the north may be more troublesome than we expected."

I don't know when, from another room, came a civil official dressed in a white crane with an evil smile on his face, and when people first saw him, they would define him as a "bad person".

"But I don't hear the slightest hint of trouble from your mouth."

"I'm afraid that it's each other, I don't believe that Jia Wenhe, the first strategist of the state, won't feel the weird feeling that is already overflowing, and I believe that Lord Wenhe should also notice the strangeness of the two waves of enemy forces in coordination."

"What you're saying is more of a gut feeling, and the rest is nothing more than what a few captives have dug up from their mouths. These can't be said to be useless at all, but at this time, the matter is very important, even if it is the lord, he will be cautious, and he can't make a difference. ”

"And what do the dead men sent to the steppe do? Fa Zheng also hopes that the adults can give some advice. ”

"You know what I know, and I know it. So I won't mention the prisoners who 'accidentally' escaped, you say? ”

"The lord treats the law as a national soldier, and the law will repay this kindness, so why should he be afraid of it."

"Maybe you are more suitable than Guo Fengxiao to take over some of the work I have in hand."

The sound disappeared with the wind.

But just when Fa Zheng thought that Jia Xu had left, Jia Xu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears again, and this time the voice was clearer and closer to his ears.

"However, now you can't meet the requirements of the lord, so keep working hard."

Coming out of the shadows, Jia Xu's face was unexpectedly full of ...... Whispering?!

"Chicken thighs, shrimp balls, tonkatsu, fried steak, braised eggs, tempura, supreme cod, dragon's blood, swan meat, foie gras, caviar...... Since I can't use it anymore, I think I'll be able to get a lot of it tonight.

It's just that it's an illusion, I always feel like I'm going to be hit by five thunders when I read a certain word, is it an illusion......

Thundered!!!

Pan Sen: If anyone thinks that some of the above dialogues seem familiar, yes, it's definitely not an illusion~

Pan Sen 2: If there are no other changes (such as a sudden appearance of a hall master or something), there will be four chapters outside the New Year, please look forward to it, well, there should be a little bit of welfare, well, probably only a little bit...... (To be continued......)
