There was not much time, Zong Jiyuan and Diao Saburo got the news and rushed almost backwards and forwards.

Diao Saburo is a quick temper, and as soon as he walked in the door, he didn't have time to say hello, so he couldn't wait to go straight to the point.

"My lord, I heard that General Suo replied to you in an official letter, and it was sent so quickly?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you two to do this, so sit down."

He Ruichang said as he beckoned the two of them to sit down.

Sitting down next to the adult, Zong Jiyuan thought for a while and said,

"My lord, you are in such a hurry to find us, could it be that General Suo has already agreed to let my county and them participate in the operation together?"

"You're smart,"

He Ruichang looked at her and smiled very happily,

"As you said, General Suo not only agreed to the joint action of our county and the Shengjing garrison, but also said that he would send troops as soon as possible and let us participate in formulating a plan to eradicate that gang of thieves."

"Yes......"

Unexpectedly, the majestic and powerful General Suo would attach so much importance to the tolerance of a small county town, which was indeed unexpected by Zong Jiyuan and Diao Sanlang.

However, after carefully reading the official document, an inexplicable thought suddenly jumped into Zong Jiyuan's mind, but after thinking about it again, it shouldn't be possible, it must be that he thought too much, and said,

"My lord, it is said that tomorrow morning, the officers and troops under the command of the general will come to us and join the people of our county, so it seems that it is better to prepare in advance to meet them."

"yes, that's what I mean,"

Seeing that she said what she thought in her heart, He Ruichang looked at this master who was younger than his son with satisfaction, nodded and said,

"However, Ji Yuan, how do you think you should prepare?"

"In any case, the brothers who will be sent out should be selected as soon as possible, and everyone will be assembled tonight and stay in this ya, so that they can save a lot of time by taking action early tomorrow morning."

Zong Jiyuan thought about it and said.

Master He couldn't stop nodding his head and said with a smile,

"Well, okay, just do as you say. Then there is one more thing, which of you two will go with me to meet the general tomorrow morning? ”

"Of course Ji Yuan went,"

Without waiting for Zong Jiyuan to speak, Diao Saburo had already preemptively said,

"My lord, you also know, I can barely handle the case, but I can't do it when it comes to sending it, of course I have to let Ji Yuan and you go, I will stay in the yazhong and do something else with the rest of the brothers."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Lord He nodded and said,

"Next, it's time to choose the messengers who will rush to Dongshangou with General Sori tomorrow, of course, this errand will be left to the two of you, and I will be responsible for preparing for tomorrow's reception."

"Okay, my subordinates know."

Diao Saburo nodded again and again and agreed.

And Zong Jiyuan's expression looked a little helpless, in her heart, she didn't particularly want to join the team that went to see General Suo outside the city, because she was worried that she would meet that person. Moreover, if he really accompanied Lord Ho, then I am afraid that I would not even have a chance to hide at that time.

Diao Saburo didn't notice this, mainly because he was too busy.

At this time, there are seventy or eighty new and old servants in the Liaodong County Yaya, and the two of them discussed the selection of fifty relatively capable ones, and the rest had to stay in the Yazhong to protect Lord He and his family, and also to do some other errands. As for Xiang Yong, since there is a garrison from Fengtianfu, there is no need to use them.

After the fifty men had been chosen, those who had already returned home were immediately returned, and when the people had arrived, and the events and tasks were explained to everyone, and the brothers were all laid to rest in the ya, it was already late when all the relevant matters had been arranged.

Back at his residence, Zong Jiyuan's mind was still repeating the route he had taken when he and Wang Yu entered and exited Pingliang Village together, which was almost firmly imprinted in his mind, and after thinking about it again, he felt that there was nothing negligent, so he fell asleep with a little peace of mind.

Because Shengjing City was in the north, the people who were in charge of receiving it early the next morning, under the personal leadership of Lord He, came out of the north gate and waited on the official road.

Not long after the handover, the messenger sent out to inquire about the news ran back and reported a letter saying that a group of garrison officers and soldiers had really come from the direction of the provincial capital, and the banner was the soldiers under the command of General Sheng Jing.

It seems that what the general said is true, at least he is not playing with this Qipinzhi County. He Ruichang hurriedly led everyone and stood on the side of the road in an orderly manner, until the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground and the crisp and pleasant sound of bells unique to war horses came from a distance.

At this time, these people who came to greet Liaodong County, although they were of different degrees, they were all a little nervous in their hearts, after all, they had never dealt with those military attachés and generals, who knew if they would get along well or not, whether they would have a big temper or not. I had all kinds of ideas, but I never thought that when we met, it would be the next kind of scene.

I saw that the people and horses in the distance, carrying the majesty, gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision, and when they got closer and closer, they could see that this was an iron cavalry army of about 1,000 people, but the three generals led by them were all very young, and they looked like they were only in their thirties at most, and the one in the middle was not too old, no matter how you looked at it, he was only in his early twenties.

There shouldn't be any of them like the general Sori who guarded the capital—

Everyone's minds are guessing like this.

Lord He was about to step forward to salute and ask again at the same time, but when he saw that the youngest general actually took the initiative to urge him to come forward, glanced at everyone, and asked,

"But you are the officials of Liaodong County?"

"Xia Guan is exact, may I ask the little general ......"

Seeing that the other party asked, He Ruichang hurriedly stepped forward to answer.

But who knows, before he can fully say his doubts, he saw that the little general's eyes fell on Zong Jiyuan's body, and suddenly as if he had discovered a new continent, he jumped down from the horse with agility and laughed,

"Haha! Sure enough, I found you little guy here! ”

“……”

Seeing him, Zong Jiyuan looked almost speechless, stroked his forehead and sighed,

"yes, sure enough, your 'big guy' is also here......"

"Hey! Why did you come along?"

The little general ran in front of her in a few steps and tapped Zong Jiyuan lightly on the head with his horsewhip,

"This time to eliminate the bandits, I am the main general, and I specially asked my father for the general order!"

"Don't touch my head!"

While dodging to the side, Zong Jiyuan said with some annoyance,

"That's a bunch of tough bandits, not a place to play! What are you doing here? ”
