A few people entered the hall, and an old servant brought tea. "Master, Xiaocui has already gone to prepare the meal, and it will be a while!"

"Okay, Uncle Jin, you go to the back kitchen to boil more boiling water, and the brothers will take turns to take a bath and rest in a while!" Zhang Yizheng said after taking a sip of tea.

"Yes, sir!" the old servant put down the tea tray and turned to leave.

Zhang Yizheng's family has only two subordinates, a father and daughter. Earlier, when Zhang Yizheng was just a captain, he took care of everything in the family by himself, and later he was promoted to the head of Bai, and he was responsible for the workman.

Once, when Zhang Yizheng accompanied Min Duwei to inspect the surrounding terrain, it was raining heavily, and the heavy rain fell for two days and three nights, and the mountain floods in the mountains washed several nearby villages into pieces.

The old man's wife left early, leaving the father and daughter to make a living by raising some poultry for money. As soon as the flood passed, the houses collapsed and all the poultry in the house were swept away.

Zhang Yizheng looked pitiful and took in the father and daughter to do some chores at home, and he was taken care of by the father and daughter when he was not at home. The old man's surname is Jin, Zhang Yizheng calls him Uncle Jin, and the girl's name is Xiaocui, and she is in her teenage years.

Everyone drank hot tea for a while, and felt a lot more comfortable physically. "What about Lu Ji?" asked Zhang Yizheng after looking around.

"Hehe, the eldest brother is teasing that horse in the courtyard!" said Lei Jingyu, glancing at the courtyard.

"The big black horse?" Zhang Yizheng asked, turning his head.

"Yes, Brother Lu likes it tightly!" Yu Sanjin pursed his lips and said with a smile.

"Don't you like it, it's a good horse at first glance, and I'll be happy if I get it. Jiang Yin looked at the thunderstorm with envy on his face.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lei Yu looked at Jiang Yin in confusion.

"Shocking rain, little brother, to tell you the truth, is this horse you want to get back? Get one for my brother too!" Jiang Yin said flatteringly with an arc on the corner of his mouth.

Thunder and rain were numb by Jiang Yin's body, and his body was detained. "Okay, brother, you can talk well. I'll get you a good one when I get the chance. ”

"I'll just say, my good brother won't let his brothers suffer!" Jiang Yin said and threw a wink at the thunderstorm, which was as ugly as rolling his eyes.

Zhang Yizheng watched them laugh and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. I am not confused by my old age, and I have no relatives around me, so being able to have such a group of brothers together is adding a lot of fun to life.

Lu Ji teased this big dark horse in the courtyard without distractions, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he was reluctant to ride him since he entered the city, and he was led all the way back.

"How about I give you a name?" Lu Ji dragged the reins with one hand and touched the bridge of the nose of the big black horse with the other, and sat on the stone pier next to the tree.

Sanjo squinted at Lu Ji on the side, his face full of disdain. "You have to give you such a broken thing to be like this, if you know my identity, you still have to treat me as an ancestor?"

"How about calling you Moxue? Look at you, your body is as black as ink, and your hooves are as white as snow, it's very suitable, it's very suitable!" Lu Ji babbled, constantly stroking the big black horse.

"Big brother, let's go inside and drink some water! It's cold outside!"

"Come on, I'll come over here!" Lu Ji reluctantly touched two more handfuls and turned around and entered the house.

As soon as Lu Ji left, Mo Xue rubbed against Sanjo's side little by little, rubbing his head against Sanjo's neck. The three shook their heads, and Mo Xue hurriedly hid to the side, looking like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Thunderstorm looked through the crack in the door, and said in his heart, could it be that this horse has taken a fancy to the three? But the problem is that it is male, and the three are also male!

The two returned to the house and sat down, and Lu Ji was squeezed by everyone again. A few people were talking, and Uncle Jin came over and knocked on the door and said that the water was ready. Several people took turns to take a bath, and they suddenly felt refreshed.

When she came back, Xiaocui had already put the wine and food on the table, and as soon as a few people sat down, Uncle Jin knocked on the door and said that someone was looking for her. Zhang Yizheng went out and saw that it was one of Wu Daofeng's personal guards, and said that the city lord invited a few people to come over to the house.

After the guards left, several people also had some doubts in their hearts, they had just returned from the City Lord's Mansion in the afternoon, and it was almost evening when the City Lord came to invite, what do you mean?

Since the city lord invited him, several people did not hesitate, and after changing their clothes, they went to the city lord's mansion.

When they arrived at the city lord's mansion, after the doorman reported it, several mermaids rushed into the courtyard. As soon as he raised his head, Wu Jian Feng personally stood at the bottom of the steps to greet him, and several people walked a few steps quickly to bow in front of Wu Jian Feng.

"Your Excellency, Lord City, how can this be done!" Zhang Yizheng leaned forward and said respectfully.

"Eh~~~ We are all martial arts people, why care about these red tapes. Wu Daofeng stroked his sleeves and led everyone through the hall to the backyard.

Turning the hall, everyone's eyes lit up. In this early winter when everything is depressed, the backyard of Wujian Feng is full of spring, and the vegetation in the garden is full of vitality.

Zhang Yizheng couldn't help but admire, "City Lord, your courtyard is really good!" Everyone also echoed the praise.

"I won't tell you, when the foundation of my yard was first built, a fingernail-sized fire chalcedony stone was placed under each of the four corners, so the temperature near the yard was constant all year round and suitable for habitation. Wu Jian Feng walked and pointed to everyone and explained.

When a few people came to the hall in the backyard, the wine and food were ready, and Wu Daofeng beckoned them to sit down. "Everyone, Manlin can survive this catastrophe safely, all depends on your sacrifice of your lives, Wu Mou toasts you a cup!"

A few people raised their wine glasses and looked at each other, it is said that Min Duwei and his generals should appear on this occasion, but let alone the generals on the table, even Min Duwei did not come, could it be that Wu Daofeng only invited a few of them?

Suspicious, several people drank the wine in their glasses. Zhang Yizheng opened his mouth and said, "My lord is serious, where is the duty to protect the family and defend the country, how can I make my lord thank you!"

Wu Daofeng looked at a few people one by one, "Your name is Thunder Storm!" Last time I came to deliver a letter with Lu Ji, I have been waiting here for more than two months!

"My lord has a good memory, it's the boy!" said Lei Jingyu before he stood up, and said with a debt.

"Okay, I've seen all your performance in standing up today, and I have a very good appetite! For the generals, the Quartet is powerful. For the handsome, far-sighted. For the Lord, know how to make good use of others. For the wise too. Wu Daofeng said a lot in a row, and everyone listened carefully.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Wu Daofeng picked up his wine glass, "Come, come, let's just talk about business today!"

This wine is a fine wine brought back by Wu Jian Feng from a very famous wine shop in the main city, and it is made with a kind of deep mountain spirit fruit that is rich in a little aura, which not only tastes good, but also has enough strength. Wu Jian Feng persuaded him to go in a few glasses in a row, and several people felt that the smell of wine rushed to the top of their heads, and they were dizzy and very comfortable.

Jiang Yin drank happily, and he talked more. "Lord of the City, I want to ask you something, I don't know if I should talk about it?"

"What kind of city lord, just call Brother Wu!" Wu Daofeng's face was slightly red, and he said proudly with a wine glass in his hand.

"Okay, Brother Wu, why do you say that our Manlin has been surrounded for so many days but no one has come to reinforce it?" Jiang Yin's words were equivalent to scolding the heart of the martial arts. As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yin regretted it a little, and several people looked at Jiang Yin in a daze, and the quiet needle drop in the hall could be heard.

Several people knew that Jiang Yin liked to talk nonsense after drinking too much, Zhang Yizheng pulled Jiang Yin over, "The city lord smiled, my brother likes to talk nonsense when he drinks too much, don't mind the city lord!"

After a moment of silence, Wu Blade Wind slowly put down his wine glass. "Jiang Yin, this is not nonsense, this is also the reason why I came to you alone today!

Originally, I saw that your brothers were very tired in the past few days, and I wanted you to rest for a few days. But since Jiang Yin has brought it up, then I'll talk about it!"

"This seat wants to expand the scale of the garrison in the city, increase the number of people, and select the appropriate talents as generals, what do you think?" Wu Daofeng threw the question out and leaned back on the chair, took a sip of the tea bowl and looked at a few people.

Several people looked at each other, is this a matter that should be discussed with them? This kind of thing should be discussed, at least at the level of Min Duwei, besides, don't you have to report to the lord of the country for the expansion of the army? It is not a small crime that the expansion of the army without permission has been verified!

"Can you report this to the lord?" Zhang Yizheng asked sideways.

"I didn't report it. Wu Daofeng pouted.

"Have you ever consulted with General Min about this?"

"I didn't discuss it. ”

"Then how will our army be expanded?" Zhang Yizheng asked puzzled.

"What do you call me?" Wu Daofeng looked at Zhang Yizheng.

"Called... Call the city lord!" Zhang Yizheng didn't understand what Wu Daofeng meant.

"Isn't that enough, since I am the lord of this city, do I need anyone's consent to do what I want to do?" Wu Daofeng said in one sentence, showing his domineering.

Everyone heard this, and it was right to think about it. He is the lord of the city, and he can decide anything in Manlin City, even Min Duwei can't interfere. After all, he is a garrison general and belongs to the Wolong Empire.

After seeing that everyone reacted, Wu Daofeng sighed, "General Min will probably return to Wolong City to report on his work in the near future!"

"Huh?" everyone drank too much alcohol tonight, and the heavy news came one after another, and several people here had lost their intention to drink.

"Then what should we do with the city defense of Manlin?" Zhang Yizheng asked with his mouth open. He is the commander of Min Duwei, if Min Duwei returns to Wolong to report on his work, it stands to reason that the 20,000 garrison sergeants, including him, should also go back.

When it's time to adjust the defense, you can go directly to the new place, and this short period of time is considered a vacation. Generally speaking, in a situation like this, the main city will first send a new garrison to hand over the handover, and then Min Duwei will lead the troops on the road.

However, there are some special circumstances, where the garrison troops leave first, and then new ones come, but generally it will not take more than three or four days.

"That's why I said I wanted to expand the number of people I had garrisoned in the Forest. Wu Daofeng said slowly, skimming the leaves in the tea bowl.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Zhang Yizheng probably guessed what Wu Daofeng wanted to say, but he didn't dare to be too sure.

Wu Daofeng put down the tea bowl and poured Zhang Yizheng a glass of wine. "Commander Zhang, you are currently the head of General Min. Why don't you stay when General Min returns to the city to report on work!"
