Because of the convenience of riding war horses, Su Jun and the others did not delay too much time on the road. But as soon as he arrived outside the city, Su Jun noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Licheng is the most prosperous city in the border county, even if it is not a busy city on weekdays, life is boiling, but at least there is some vitality, but now, standing outside the city, I feel that the city is silent like a dead city.

Just when Su Jun was puzzled, Huang Lie, who was in charge of the city defense of Licheng, and other senior generals of the army all went out of the city to greet him, and before Su Jun could speak, everyone knelt at Su Jun's feet:

"General Xiaguan Hexi opened the flag victoriously and returned triumphantly!"

"Get up and talk"

"Xiaguan and the others don't have the face to get up, let's kneel for a while"

"Huh?"

When Su Jun heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good, was there something wrong with the city, could it be that the barbarians from other tribes took advantage of their defenselessness to loot the city?

Pointing in the direction of the inner city, he asked anxiously:

"What happened in Mophi City......"

Seeing that the county leader had misunderstood, Huang Lie hurriedly said first:

"The general misunderstood, there is no danger in the inner city, and we are kneeling for this matter!"

Su Junhu glanced at Huang Lie suspiciously, and then at the group of soldiers kneeling behind him, he didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice:

"And which one are you singing?"

"General, all our brothers are really convinced, we were really shaken by the grasshopper in the first place, and we dared to bet with you......"

"Haha, what should I do, get up, let's go into the city and say"

Su Jun smiled, rode his horse and drove into the city.

I don't know if I don't enter, and I'm shocked when I enter.

Su Jun was completely shocked by the scene in front of him, and saw that the road in the inner city was crowded with people, and the peaceful people were rubbing shoulders one after another, and the water surrounding the road was impassable, and it could only accommodate two horses passing side by side.

I thought that there were enough people surrounding the border city, and the scene was spectacular enough, but compared to this, it was simply a small thing, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

Since Su Jun took office, he has never seen so many people in the city, and it is estimated that there must be 200,000 people, and everyone just stood quietly, silent, waiting for Su Jun to return.

As soon as Su Jun entered the city, he was flocked to the people to come up, and suddenly, cheers rang out, applause thundered, and at the same time, countless flowers and red cloth fell from the sky, as if entering a sea of red.

Su Jun was worried that Qingying would bump into innocent people, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and grabbed the reins of the horse, Qingying also felt this strong atmosphere, and put the huge horse's head tightly on Su Jun's body, and slowly moved forward.

It turned out that the attics on both sides of the street were also full of people, men and women, old and young, people carried flower baskets, and from time to time swayed the petals in them, Su Jun stretched out his palm, and caught not only the petals, but also a lock of red cotton cloth.

Su Jun took a closer look and found that the cotton cloth was not red, but dyed red with blood, and the blood that had not yet dried up could be faintly seen on it.

He clutched the strip of cloth tightly in the palm of his hand, waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly:

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

Next to Su Jun's nearest banker, he looked at the cotton cloth in Su Jun's hand, and then looked at the handsome face of the new county head, and said timidly:

"There were so few flowers blooming in winter that we had to use red cloth, but all the red cloth in the shop was sold out, so we had to dye the cotton cloth red with our own blood......

Su Jun's eyes flashed with tears, he cried, this was the first time he cried in this world, including Su Jun's previous life, the number of times he cried could be counted with one hand.

In his memory, the last time he cried was when Wanqing died in his arms.

Su Jun once swore in his heart that he would kill all his injuries and bury his partner, and he did it, of course, for this, he also paid for his young life and unlimited future.

Looking at everyone's most beloved county head, standing there quietly with tears in his eyes, this ordinary person, a little overwhelmed, hurriedly explained:

"My lord, no one forced us, we did it voluntarily, regardless of other people's affairs......"

Su Jun couldn't afford to listen to the latter words, so much so that he forgot how he returned to the mansion, and in front of his eyes, what always flashed was the piece of cotton cloth whose blood had not completely dried up, which was the love and respect of all the people for him.

The people of the border county have a straightforward temperament, and they don't care if Su Jun is a peaceful son, but they know that as the head of a county, they actually put on the battle in person, risking death, ambushing the Nua barbarians, the county head can shed blood on the battlefield, and they can also shed blood for the county head.

The more he understood this, the more Su Jun's heart throbbed, he walked on the street like a puppeteer, and everywhere he passed, the cheers continued, and everyone's mouths chanted "Su Zhongqing, Su Zhongqing", and the sound resounded in the sky, lingering over the city.

This kind of scene has always resurfaced in Su Jun's memory repeatedly, until many years later, he became the only king of the Dawu Empire, of course, at that time, it was no longer called Dawu, and this scene still made him unforgettable.

Su Jun walked back to his mansion almost sleepwalking, sitting on his Taishi chair, and the servants of the Su Mansion brought tea and snacks, he still felt like he was in a dream.

In the eyes of Yan Qinghua, Huang Lie and others, this may not be too great, but the shock to Su Jun is too great.

Su Jun is an orphan, a person who was abandoned by his own parents, he only has his master, Wanqing and the Tsing Yi brothers who followed him later, and no one is really good to him, everyone thinks he is a killing machine, a cold-blooded Hades.

The more ruthless a person is, the softer his heart is, and everyone who seems to be unruly and cynical may have been deeply hurt.

Because he was hurt, he was afraid, so he had to weave a thick layer of armor to protect his soft heart, once this armor was broken, people would find that his heart was even weaker.

"Master Su, there are two things I need to report to you, please decide!"

Huang Lie's words woke up Su Jun, who slowly came back to his senses, looked at him with straight eyes, and asked:

"What's the matter? You name it."

"In terms of the internal affairs of Licheng, including the distribution of military funds, Huang Lao has always been responsible for big and small matters in the past, but now Huang Lao ......"

Speaking of Huang Lao, Su Jun remembered the thin and thin old man, in the case of a serious shortage of military materials, he would rather be frozen himself than send cotton clothes to others first, this is indeed a respectable old man.

"You don't have to worry about this, I have already ordered someone to release Huang Lao, I only detained him for one night"

"General, you misunderstood, in the past, there was a lack of food and clothing, and Huang Lao has always been carrying his spirit and supporting him. Now that the border county lacks nothing, Huang Lao breathed a sigh of relief and fell ill. ”
