Lord Duan Liang Zhou Duan, the envoy of the Northwest Dao Festival, was very worried, and he was worried that the spies who had gone north had not returned for a long time, which made him a little flustered; The progress of the soldiers and horses on the right road of Erchou Longyou was slow, and there was no movement for many days; Sanchou The soldiers and horses of the other three counties will not arrive soon, and it will be difficult to advance or defend at that time.

Of course, now the people who are worried in this immortal city are not only Lord Duan, but also Lord Zhou, the county guard; Lord Zhou has been terrified for several days, for fear that because of the previous ineffective recruitment, he will provoke the Lord to make a note, if so, his official career will probably come to an end.

But fortunately, in the past two days, the results of the Drunken Immortal Building have been quite gratifying, and I can still make a difference in the future. It's just that this worries Lord Zhou about another matter: before Lord Duan arrived, Weiyang County recruited only 5,000 soldiers; Now that Lord Duan arrives, the number of people will be much larger, what will the adults think about the festival? Is it because I was perfunctory before, so the results of the previous recruitment were not ideal? Every time it comes to this, Lord Zhou has to sigh for a long time, which is really a dilemma.

Adults have the worries of adults, and villains have their own sorrows. Steward Ma was now worried in his heart, and he said his groundless speculation without concealment, which made Lord Zhou believe that if his own adult made a mistake in decision-making because of his nonsense, then he would really die a hundred deaths.

The horse steward hurried, and slapped himself twice in the corridor, regretting his recklessness. At this moment, my heart was swaying and I couldn't touch the ground, and I couldn't fly to the gate immediately, and the group of people at the door asked, is it from the north, is it?

But when he really arrived at the door, the steward became a little timid, grabbed the cuffs with both hands, and rubbed them vigorously, so that he could not take the last step at the door. The commotion at the door was still there, and it seemed to be getting louder. There seemed to be a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and someone should have reported that the city patrol department was here.

At that moment, the steward didn't dare to hesitate any longer, if this group of people were taken away by the City Patrol Division, he wouldn't even be able to complete the tasks assigned by Lord Zhou. So he sprinted down the front steps and into the crowd.

When they got closer, Steward Ma realized that this group of people was really not ordinary beggars. Most of the beggars in the city are dressed in rags, but few of them are paired in pairs for food.

This group of people is not like this, all of them look withered, it is difficult to hide their exhaustion, and they are faintly led by the man in front of them. No matter how you look at it, it looks like you're prepared.

The steward trembled, so much so that he asked the man in front of him, "From the north?" His voice couldn't help but become hoarse.

The man stared at the horse steward, as if he hadn't spoken for many days, and his voice was even more hoarse, which frightened the horse steward a spirit, "My lord, do you have anything to eat?" ”

Is there anything to eat? Of course! According to the meaning of the county guard, the good students have to have food, but also to live in yo, but the premise is that you have to come from the north.

The horse steward didn't listen to the answer of the word "yes", he became a little anxious, and almost roared loudly, and the guards on duty couldn't help but step forward to check, but he still remembered Lord Zhou's instructions to deal with it quietly, so he waved his hand to signal that the guards didn't have to come up, "It's from the north, isn't it, isn't it?" ”

Although the man wondered why the adult in front of him was so obsessed with the question of whether he came from the north, he still nodded firmly, "Coming from Chaotianguan."

The horse steward was overjoyed, and patted the shoulder of the man in front of him heavily, if it weren't for the crowd of people, he would have cheered happily on the spot.

After calming down, Steward Ma whispered to the man, only saying that he wanted to settle them down and let the man take someone to a certain place first.

The man had doubts, but after thinking that the situation of his group would not be worse no matter what, he nodded yes and slowly left with the crowd behind him.

The horse steward was sad and happy, and the heart that had always been shaking finally fell on the ground. Thinking back to the moment when I was waiting for the man to answer, I was nervous, and I guessed the mood of those who studied in the old man's hall test, and it was nothing more than that.

......

It was not only the horse steward in front of the county guard who was happy to come, but also the four Chen Xun two streets away.

Because the grassland people did not commit any crimes, although there were also people who came out of Chaotian Pass, most of them rested before they arrived in Weiyang County, and some of them went directly south, trying to stay away from the land of right and wrong, but in any case, the number of people who arrived in Weiyang County would never be as large as before the county guard today. So this drama in front of the county guard today is their handiwork.

In fact, there are many ways to warn, and Chen Xun doesn't believe that the county guard of Weiyang County will be unprepared for things in the north. Taking a step back, if Zhou Junshou is really so mediocre, then the festival of the Northwest Road will not make the adults like this. What's more, judging from the current appearance of Weiyang County, this county guard is by no means like Wu Taishou of Chaotian Pass.

How can I see it? only said that the wave of people in front of the county guard mansion today, but Li Yihuan took the effort of Lao Niu's nose to find it. Now it is true to look at the ragged clothes, but it is also Li Yihuan who picked up these ordinary people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a thick color. It is really difficult to find such beggars in this Weiyang County.

"Don't you know, it's too hard for these people to pick it up" Li Yihuan smiled and waved it lightly with his hand, "But now that I look at it, hey, it's really like that."

Isn't that what happened, at least the concierge of the county guard, but they really thought they were refugees from the north.

Of course, it's one thing for the steward to think so, and it's another thing for the county keeper to think so. But at least for now, it's a good thing for Chen Xun.

"Fourth uncle, can the situation in the north be detailed?" Chen Xun couldn't complain anymore, but today's incident really affected the whole body. If you can't let the adults in the city understand the fact that the grassland has entered the customs in time, to put it mildly, it will not only be the Northwest Dao.

"Don't worry, it's all explained, the black-faced man at the head looks stupid, but in fact, he has some thoughts, and there will be no mistakes." The fourth child stroked his sideburns, showing confidence.

"Fourth Uncle has worked hard" Chen Xun clenched his fists and turned to look at the silent Baijia scholar on the side, "Master, is there any news from Longyou?" ”

The scholar in Baijia shook his head, I am afraid that the matter of Longyou is not much simpler than this.

......

At the time of this lively recruitment in Weiyang County, it was when Longyou Luo Shiquan led the troops through Yin Mountain. The soldiers have a saying: If you want to cross the Yin Mountain, enter the gourd mouth first. It is about the gourd-like gorge at the foot of Yin Mountain. The mouth of the gorge is narrow in the east and wide in the west, and the narrowest part in the middle can only accommodate three or five people to pass side by side. And now the 30,000 horses in Longyou are stationed outside the gourd mouth in the west, and they have not advanced an inch, just because the pioneer battalion that has to explore the road has not been seen for a long time.
