Chapter Eighty-Six: Boosting Morale
"Tweet ......"
In the night, in the sound of crying, Ding Zhuqiang's sleeves fluttered, and his long jade body stood on the back of the poisonous flame desolate sparrow, and drove straight towards a barren desolate land......
"Alas, it's difficult, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard to go to the sky. ”
Looking at this barren area, Ding Zhuqiang was upset and sighed secretly.
It's no wonder that there is a way that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Now that the enemy is pressing the border, this little bit of strength in Ding Zhuqiang's hands alone is not enough for the enemy to stuff his teeth......
"The lord of the castle is here?"
"Ahh......h
"Meet the Lord of the Castle......"
“............”
A group of about 1,000 teachers and students from the Eight Desolations Academy, shouting and shouting, hurriedly got up to greet each other......
At this moment, in the eyes of Ding Zhuqiang, who was hesitant for a while, a glimmer of joy rose in the ground. Immediately thought of his familiarity with history books, Han Xin's feat of breaking the cauldron and fighting against the water.
If the enemy comes, he will do his best to fight to the death. ”
As soon as he thought of this, Ding Zhuqiang, full of enthusiasm, surged into his heart, and immediately flew down from the back of the golden silk Ruyi bird.
"Lord Castle, why are you here?"
Miao Mufan stepped forward first and asked.
Ding Zhuqiang's eyes swept over the teachers and students, and he couldn't hide his admiration, and said with a slight smile: "Tonight, the city lord will fight the enemy with you." ”
"Ahh
The teachers and students were all shocked and looked different, some were happy, some were grateful, and some were timid......
"Lord Castle, are you ...... You don't have to!"
The teacher of Class B was moved, but also persuaded him.
"That said, Lord Castle, just leave it to us here. ”
The rest of the teachers and students also followed closely and persuaded ......
"I have made up my mind, just as the blessings and hardships are shared with the suffering, when the eight desolate cities are in danger, how can I, as the lord of a city, stay out of the matter and not advance and retreat with you. Ding Zhuqiang turned to sit down peacefully on a rock and said, "Order all teachers and students to come, this city lord has something to say." ”
"Yes. ”
Seeing this, Miao Mufan had no choice but to take the order, and instead instructed the students to pass it on.
After a while, more than a thousand teachers and students of the Eight Desolations Academy were neatly seated cross-legged in front of Ding Zhuqiang, waiting for advice.
"Do you want to hear stories?"
Ding Zhuqiang saw that most of the students were depressed and listless in the night, and he was even more worried, so he deliberately asked.
"Of course we want to hear it, don't we, students?"
Seeing that there were not many people who agreed, the teacher of Class C immediately volunteered to answer.
"Yes!
Driven by this, the rest of the teachers and students also responded with flattery.
Ding Zhuqiang also knew it, and he didn't care much, so he only said: "Since you are so frightened, you are afraid that the enemy army will be strong. If you grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, then I will tell you about the battle of Jingcheng, how Han Xin fought against the Zhao army, winning more with less, and outnumbering the enemy. ”
"Oh!"
Hearing the city lord say this, a group of students from the sluggish Eight Desolations Academy immediately became interested, cheered up, and listened attentively......
Ding Zhuqiang didn't have much appetite and started talking directly......
Ding Zhuqiang, who is full of poetry and books, is already familiar with this war, and then he talks like a river, as if telling a story, only to listen to a group of students concentrated, fascinated, as if in the scene......
After he finished speaking, Ding Zhuqiang stood up and said in the direction of the Eight Desolation City: "Now that the enemy is fierce, we must show the determination to defend to the death, and we must not let the enemy kill into the city, burn and plunder, and destroy our homeland!"
"Yes! Defend to the death, Defend to the death!"
Under the instigation of Ding Zhuqiang's words, a group of teachers and students were full of enthusiasm and immediately ignited, stood up one after another, and issued a unified slogan, which shook the sky......
"Tweet ......"
Even the golden silk ruyi bird that landed on Ding Zhuqiang's side seemed to be encouraged, flapping its wings, flying in the air, and making a call......
On this night, although Ding Zhuqiang knew very well that the enemy army would not come, he still did not slack off, as if it was a live-fire exercise, and ordered more than 1,000 teachers and students to change their guards in turn, and to be ready for prevention and prevention......
With more than 1,000 teachers and students sleeping in the open air, Ding Zhuqiang, invisibly, it has condensed and inspired the high fighting spirit of teachers and students to unite and defend to the death!
"Tweet ......"
As the sun rose in the east and the sky was already bright, Ding Zhuqiang explained a few words, and then drove the golden silk wishful bird back to the city.
As soon as Ding Zhuqiang came to the hall of the mansion from the garden, he saw that Qingling was still veiled and was already waiting in the hall......
"Lord of the City, I have sent spies to the southwest mountains last night to spread the word, and it is expected that the army will be able to return to the city to help before noon today. ”
As soon as Ding Zhuqiang walked into the hall, Qing Ling got up and returned.
"Hmm. ”
Ding Zhuqiang's mood was extremely solemn, just because he had been thinking hard about the enemy's strategy yesterday night, and he still had no clue. After all, there are no troops under his command, and no matter how much he wants, it is only on paper and useless.
"City Lord, ...... you" Qing Ling's bright eyes looked at it in his eyes, but seeing Ding Zhuqiang's sad face, he had no choice but to say: "By the way, a total of seventy-two spies from my Feiling family are ready to be sent by the City Lord at any time." ”
"Oh?" Ding Zhuqiang was overjoyed at this time, knowing that what he was worried about was that no one was using, and his brows stretched and said: "Well, now the city lord has an important matter, please ask the girl to immediately dispatch your seventy-two spies to pass on my edict to collect all the horses in the Eight Desolations City and assemble at the gate in the east of the city." ”
Qing Ling saw that Ding Zhuqiang finally smiled, and his mood improved. For some reason, he felt comfortable and relieved, and immediately received the order: "Since the city lord has such a strict order, I will do it immediately." ”
"Wait. Ding Zhuqiang saw Qingling leaving happily, and shouted instead: "Someone." ”
"What do you command?"
A guard arrived.
Ding Zhuqiang even ordered: "Collect all the generals inside and outside the mansion, and together with the Feiling family, collect the horses of the whole city at the gate of the east of the city." At the same time, you can inform the owner of the horse, and let them go to the gate of the east of the city to ask for it. ”
"Yes. ”
The guards had no choice but to give an order, and left with Qing Ling.
At this time, Shu Yueyan smiled and asked: "Aren't you afraid of provoking public resentment if you forcibly loot like this?"
Ruoshui, who came along, said with a sigh of relief: "Now that the enemy is present, this is also something that cannot be helped!"
"Is breakfast ready?"
Ding Zhuqiang turned his eyes to look, only to see that the two Guerlain beauties had rested all night, and then dressed up, their faces were radiant, and they were more bright and moving.
Ruoshui asked in shock, "Why are you suddenly in such a mood to eat?"
Ding Zhuqiang walked straight towards the inner hall and said: "The enemy is now, if you don't eat and drink enough, how can you have the energy to fight to the death with the enemy!"
Closed Moon couldn't help laughing and said, "I'll just say it! This guy is really fickle, like a day." ”
"Where?" Ruoshui chuckled, "I think he's finally back to normal, and he's no longer so worried." Let's go get him something to eat!"
"You know his ...... well."
Closed Moon was jealous and pouted.
After Ding Zhuqiang was personally served by the two pretty girls, he ate breakfast, patted his belly, and left.
Ding Zhuqiang, who came to the hall of the mansion with a full hiccups, only to see that the owner of the hundred merchants and the people of the Dongli clan had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
"Lord of the City, this is the topographical atlas of the desolate land that I sent someone to draw overnight, please take a look. ”
As soon as Ding Zhuqiang entered the hall, the owner of the hundred merchants hurriedly got up and offered it.
"Well, thank you. ”
Ding Zhuqiang nodded in thanks, turned to take it, and unfolded it, only to see that the painting was really clear enough and quite detailed.
Ding Zhuqiang put it away with great satisfaction and said: "In this way, I really thank the owner of the hundred merchants for being so wise and loyal, and after the great enemy is eliminated, he will be rewarded." ”
"It's a matter of course, it's a matter of course. The owner of the hundred commercial banks bowed his hand humbly and said: "If there is nothing important, then I will leave." ”
"Hmm. ”
Ding Zhuqiang only nodded and welcomed him out of the hall.
After the owner of the hundred merchants left, a middle-aged man who had passed the age of confusion, wearing a black and white robe, was burly and dignified, and stood up and said respectfully to Ding Zhuqiang: "Lord of the city, this is the elixir that the master of the family ordered me to send to you. With that, he took out a wooden box from his bosom and offered it with both hands.
"Oh, did the pharmacist really concoct such an elixir?"
Ding Zhuqiang was taken aback, originally he originally thought it was too whimsical, or rather, he was going to let the East Fence Pharmacist concoct some poison to fight the enemy, but he didn't expect that he would really stumble into this magic elixir by mistake.
"Eh!" But seeing that Ding Zhuqiang couldn't bear it and was about to open the pill box, the middle-aged man immediately stopped: "The city lord should be heartfelt, listen to the head of the family, this pill smells strong, and must not be opened easily, so as not to cause the person who smells it to be harmed." ”
"Is it so domineering?"
Ding Zhuqiang's heart was slightly shocked.
"In addition, the head of the family also prepared an air-holding pill for the lord of the city, and he only had to stuff it into his mouth and nose, and he was sure that there was nothing to do. ”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he respectfully presented a white porcelain pill vase.
Ding Zhuqiang took it in his hand, he was already convinced, and thanked him: "There is such a pharmacist Lao Dongli, please bow more for me, and after the enemy is removed, I will come to the door to thank you." ”
The middle-aged man said very politely: "The city lord doesn't have to be polite, this is as it should be." If there is nothing important, then don't bother. ”
"Okay, go slowly. ”
Ding Zhuqiang was finally overjoyed at this time, as long as he had the help of this divine pill and attracted the desolate beasts, he might as well repeat his old tricks......
"Look at you, what are you secretly happy about?"
When the closed moon entered the hall, she also gave a smile to her face.
"Closed Moon, you're just in time, let's go! ”
Ding Zhuqiang didn't say much, put the medicine in his arms, and left with his hand in the closed moon.
"What about me!"
If the water is not willing to be lonely, follow up with a question.
Ding Zhuqiang looked back and smiled: "You just need to prepare the celebration banquet!" After finishing speaking, he took the closed moon and walked straight towards the garden of the mansion.
