Liu Zhibang also looked carefully at the gate of Xia Yuancheng after hearing this, in addition to a large number of officials in Xia Yuancheng, standing at the front was a beautiful woman in a white dress, a gust of breeze blew, picking up a few strands of light blue long hair, as if she wanted to ride the wind away Chang'e, her eyebrows were picturesque, her face was warm and happy, and the peerless beauty was Aya.

"Driving ......"

Liu Zhibang rushed forward, he hadn't seen Aya for two months, he also missed it very much, he was worried in his heart, it was beautiful, and it was even happier to be missed.

"Abang!"

"Aya!"

Holding Aya tightly in his arms and inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from Aya's body deeply, Liu Zhibang's entire physical and mental exhaustion immediately disappeared.

"Aya, why did you come to Xia Yuan City?"

Aya said softly: "People miss you!" ”

Liu Zhibang gently kissed the lovely child in his arms, and said with a smile: "I miss you too, Aya, do you blame me for spending less and less time with you now?" ”

Aya deliberately sneered after hearing this: "Do you still know, Xia Yuancheng has been beaten down for so long, and he didn't bring anyone out to take a look, the bad guys ......"

Liu Zhibang laughed and said: "Hehe, I'm a bad person, and my Aya is a ...... who specializes in treating bad people."

Aya also kissed Liu Zhibang and said happily: "Just your sweet mouth, Abang, let's go into the city...... Let's rest......"

Liu Zhibang looked at the sky, it seemed that it would be a few hours before the sun went down, and then looked at Xia Zhuangzhuang and a large group of officials large and small behind him, hesitated for a while, and saw that Liu Zhibang seemed to be a little embarrassed in his eyes, Aya smiled reluctantly, and said, "You go and get busy with business first......

Liu Zhibang nodded apologetically to Aya, Xia Zhuangzhuang walked up at this time, and also hugged Liu Zhibang, looking at Xia Zhuangzhuang's getting stronger and stronger, Liu Zhibang was very happy, but the tiredness on Xia Zhuangzhuang's face couldn't hide it, since he became the city lord of Xia Yuan City, he had to do everything, and he had to worry about almost everything, and it was indeed very hard.

Xia Zhuangzhuang said to Liu Zhibang as he walked: "Big brother, Shan Meng sends a letter asking for reinforcements every day, if you don't come back, I'm afraid Shan Meng will not be able to stop it!" ”

Liu Zhibang asked: "There is no problem with logistics, right?" ”

Xia Zhuangzhuang replied: "There is no problem with logistics, the front-line materials and grain and grass are sufficient, but there is a lack ......of reserves, so I can only hold the pass, which is very passive."

Liu Zhibang nodded and said: "It's hard to be a Meng, there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they are attacked by more than 100,000 elites of the Qingyun Empire, and it is not easy to change anyone, not to mention that the weapons of mass destruction have also been exhausted, but unfortunately we don't have sulfur mines, otherwise, it would be more advantageous to make more gunpowder bombs." ”

Aya said on the side: "Commander, this time I brought some recently made weapons and equipment, which should come in handy!" ”

Liu Zhibang said happily: "What good things did you bring?" ”

Aya took a list to Liu Zhibang, and Liu Zhibang took it and read: "Fifty Heavenly Maiden scattered flower bombs, twenty god-destroying crossbow machines, three hundred improved god-destroying crossbow arrows, twenty arrow carts, ten ox-power armored vehicles, five hundred individual crossbows, five hundred alloy full-body armor, two thousand alloy shields, five thousand alloy war knives, two thousand ten-meter spears, 300,000 crossbows and bows, 30,000 sets of military uniforms, and a number of other equipment......"

"These are good things!" Xia Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but sigh while listening.

Liu Zhibang also nodded and said: "It's indeed a good thing, but it still can't be assembled by the whole army, even if you add the previous equipment, it's still not enough, our standing strength has exceeded 60,000......"

Xia Zhuangzhuang said in embarrassment: "Commander, there is another very important matter......

Liu Zhibang replied: "Say it!"

Xia Zhuangzhuang said in embarrassment: "Is it this time that you can bring back gold coins when you go to Dushan City?" The City Lord's Mansion has run cashless, and officials at all levels have been in arrears for several months......"

Liu Zhibang laughed when he heard this: "Oh, this matter, I brought back some money......

Xia Zhuangzhuang hurriedly asked, "How much?" ”

"100,000 gold coins!"

"Ahh Xia Zhuangzhuang was stunned on the spot when he heard this.

Liu Zhibang was stunned and said, "What? Isn't it enough? ”

Xia Zhuangzhuang still couldn't believe it: "You have searched Dushan City? ”

Aya smiled on the side: "Zhuangzhuang, how did you speak, the commander only brought a little guard, how could he loot Dushan City, and this word is too ugly......

Liu Zhibang also smiled: "Zhuangzhuang, all this money is earned by us, it is reasonable and legal, justifiable, not robbed, don't worry!" ”

Then Liu Zhibang told the matter of selling the blank paper from the beginning.

Xia Zhuangzhuang shook his head and said, "Big brother, you are really insidious, don't don't, you can also earn the money of the dead!" ”

Liu Zhibang's old face flushed, and he smiled, and the three of them entered Xia Yuancheng surrounded by officials.

Xia Zhuangzhuang received the letter and knew that Liu Zhibang had returned to the city, and had already prepared a reception banquet, and after some washing, Liu Zhibang and Aya appeared in the banquet hall, and the civil and military officials had already gathered together.

Liu Zhibang waved to everyone: "Hello everyone, all the public servants of Xia Yuancheng! ”

"Hello Patriarch!"

"All the good work!"

"Serve the people!"

When everyone quieted down, Liu Zhibang said again: "Today back in Xia Yuan City, it just so happens that my fiancée also came to Xia Yuan City, I would like to introduce to you a grand introduction, the first elder of the Han Presbyterian Church, the prime minister of the Han Executive Yuan, the deputy commander of the Han army, and the lord of the Han capital Huowu City, Shanya, everyone is welcome!" ”

Quack......

The applause lasted for a long time, most of the officials didn't know Aya, Aya was low-key, even if she brought a lot of supplies to Xia Yuancheng, she didn't officially meet with the officials, Xia Zhuangzhuang said that she was still Aya's subordinate, and it was not easy to refute her intentions, just waiting for Liu Zhibang to come back and call the shots.

"She is Shanya, the second person in the Han nationality......"

"Sure enough, it is the beauty of the country and the city, the patriarch is matched with the first elder, what a match made in heaven......" Countless people in the crowd let out exclaims.

"Alas! I still want to propose to the patriarch, my daughter is eighteen years old, and she is one of the best beauties in Xia Yuan City, but compared to the first elder, she is still a little inferior......" An official sighed slightly.

Another official answered beside him: "Director Wang, don't be discouraged, I heard that Shan Meng, the commander of the first division of the Han Army, is the elder brother of the first elder, and he is not married, so you might as well marry your daughter to him......

Director Wang said happily: "Really? Director Cao, thank you so much, if this can be done, you will be the benefactor of our Wang family! ”

Listening to the gossip of the officials in Xia Yuancheng, Ruan Xiangju's face was a little ugly, Fei Mao'er saw it, touched Hu Chun with her elbow, and whispered: "Big brother, the fifth sister seems to be a little unhappy, what's wrong?" ”
