The sound of rumbling horses' hooves shook the ground, and thousands of cavalry rushed to Qingfeng Village like a tide.

The Qingfeng soldiers standing on the arrow tower watched the smoke and dust billowing out, and the cavalry quickly approached. I also saw the banner of Chao in the team fluttering in the wind.

Someone had already ridden a fast horse to the yamen to report.

The news of the arrival of Shandong Tianwang Chao Gai spread in the town, who doesn't know how to help the poor Chao Tianwang? The people rushed to tell each other and spontaneously flocked to the outside of the town to greet them. Even those wealthy businessmen smiled when they heard the news.

Compared with ordinary people, they either have connections or travel from south to north, and know more information. I more or less know the news that Chao Gai is going to be a big official. But there are places to complain, and these people take the initiative to buy wine and meat and send them to ......

Crowds of people poured to the mouth of the stockade, and sure enough, they saw a large group of cavalry lined up outside. All of them rode tall horses, wearing iron armor, all of them had sharp eyes, holding military weapons, not squinting, and majestic.

All black military uniforms, people don't speak, horses wear chewing heads, quiet. Many of the onlookers did not understand military affairs, but they also felt that they were elite soldiers. The people in the front row noticed that there were female soldiers and pointed out curiously.

"Come to Qingfeng Village again, don't have a feeling!"

Chao Gellerma stopped and looked at the town two or three hundred meters away with inexplicable emotion. Originally, there was still a smile on his face, but his smile stiffened when he heard someone's words.

I saw Li Qingwan beside him slanting at him, and said with a smile in a playful tone: "I'm about to see my fiancée!" We'd like to see how you explain it? ”

"That's it, if it were me, there were a few more sisters all of a sudden, and the mood was like heaven falling into hell. Husband, you should think of words of comfort. Master Li also patted his horse close to join in the fun, and his pretty face seemed to be smiling.

Chao Gai said "I'm leaning", and the original good mood was not there in an instant. On the way here, he only thought about how to teach Liu Gao a lesson and spit out his greedy money. Unexpectedly, at the mention of the two women, Huazi's beautiful and innocent smiling face appeared in front of her, and she looked around and grinned for a while.

Li Qingwan, what Master Li said is not bad at all, there are a few more women around her, the little girl doesn't know at all, her mood and picture are a little embarrassing when she thinks about it, how should she talk about it?

Truth be told!

But if a woman wants to coax, how should she coax?

Chao Gai frowned and thought about it, when he suddenly heard a noise from Qingfeng Village, and the shouts of "get out of the way" sounded, and the crowd scattered to both sides.

A dozen horses rushed at a gallop, and the first one waved and shouted on his horse.

"Brother, you can think of the little brother!"

Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but secretly praise that he was really a handsome and dashing young general. Born with a pair of handsome eyes, white teeth and red lips, eyebrows flying into the sideburns, thin waist and arms, silver helmet and silver armor, cross-body bow, white horse and divine horse, mighty and extraordinary.

Who can this be Xiao Li Guanghuarong?

"Hahaha, brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much." Chao Gai watched from a distance and grabbed the horse's belly, and led everyone to greet him.

When the two groups of people met, Chao Gai saw a lot of familiar faces, and the officers behind Chong Huarong nodded in signal, and after glancing around, they didn't find Liu Gao. I couldn't help frowning, thinking that this was an excuse to find fault.

He was about to ask, and he didn't want to be preempted by Hua Rong.

This Xiao Li Guang's archery skills are superb, his eyesight is amazing, and when he saw the cavalry lined up neatly from a distance, he couldn't help but feel that it was really elite, and he was also surprised by those female soldiers. It can be seen that Chao Gai is surrounded by several female generals, and he subconsciously thought of something, and the original greeting changed: "Brother, my little sister is shouting to find you every day, and now you are here." ”

Hua Rong had something to say, and the implication was that you came, and you brought a few women over, so you almost didn't say where you put my sister.

Sure enough, if you have a good brother, your mother's family will be strong!

In the original trajectory, Hu Sanniang's whole family was slaughtered, so life was miserable. Chao Gai didn't know why, and he thought of this matter inexplicably. also knew that the future eldest brother vaguely expressed dissatisfaction in his heart, and his face was full of helplessness.

"Hey, there are some things you only see on the surface, little sister, you haven't forgotten it all the time. During this time, I was busy with affairs, so I came to Qingzhou to visit her.

These words immediately made Li Qingwan and the other women pouting or rolling their eyes. They are all smart and clever people, and no one is jealous and angry in public.

Hua Rong saw the sincere expression on Chao Gai's face, didn't ask any more, and invited with a smile: "Brother, the younger brother has heard of Chao Jiazhuang, and he is here to greet you." ”

"Well, I heard that Qingfeng Village came to Wenzhi Village, why didn't you greet Shangguan?" Chao Gai's eyes scanned the crowd, with a straight face, and asked knowingly.

"This..., Chao Tianwang, Liu Zhizhai is busy with official business...... "A middle-aged military man in the rear of the National People's Congress brought by Hua Rong stepped forward to explain.

It's just that before he finished speaking, Xiao Li Guanghuarong interrupted directly, and he didn't smile: "Hmph, Liu Zhizhai and I learned the news at the same time, I'm afraid I have some concerns." ”

"What are the concerns? Is it a fear of death? Chao is a good citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, impartial and law-abiding. Never do those dirty things, it seems that Liu Zhizhai has a weak heart! Chao Gai sneered at his head and face, and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha......" Everyone around laughed in unison.

Only the middle-aged soldier's face changed, and it was extremely ugly.

At this time, a group of people came over, and the first few richly dressed old men stepped forward with a smile: "Lord Chao, Chief Chao, we are rich families in Qingfeng Town, and we have heard the name of the Heavenly King for a long time, so we specially came to pay our respects and get acquainted." ”

"Mr. Chao? You're very well informed! Chao Gai was stunned when he heard these people call him by his official name, and then looked at these businessmen in a little surprise.

Everyone nodded and nodded in reply when they saw Chao Gai, and they all smiled happily, and many people rushed to respond: "We just came back from Bianliang City, and the news spread over there." That's right, Chao-sama is the head of Jeju's soldiers and horses. ”

The crowd was a little riotous, gossiping to solve Chao Gai's confusion. These people originally wanted to complain, but they stopped when they saw Liu Gao's henchmen. No one knew that Mr. Chao was a little worried, and he would have to find an excuse to rebel in the future.

How much Xiao Li Guanghuarong knew the truth, he was unhappy when he saw Chao Gai, and he was greatly moved. Others find excuses to be officials, but this one finds an excuse to rebel, it's really incomparable.

"My lord, these wine and meat are a little bit of our heart, reward the soldiers." The first old man in the sixtieth armor stepped forward and nodded his waist, and clapped his hands again.

As he spoke, many strong men came over pushing more than a dozen wheelbarrows. It was filled with wine and meat, and some were steaming, and there was a smell of meat.

"Everyone's kindness, Chao has a certain heart! But this wine and meat cannot be collected. No one's money is blown by the wind, so Chao politely declined. The smile on Chao Gai's face retracted, and he looked at the many businessmen seriously. Seeing the disappointment on some people's faces, the words changed again.

"Of course, I know your intentions, and I have more or less guessed that I have heard of them. In this way, you send people to the North Barracks. I will let people buy at the market price, and you will not lose a penny, this is the rule of Chaojiazhuang, being a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, and never take a stitch from the people. ”

Never take a stitch from the people?

Han Shizhong, Hu Sanniang, Guo Sheng and other generals and all the soldiers subconsciously held their heads high, this simple sentence made them full of pride.

Yelu Tali and Yelu Zonglin glanced at each other and nodded tacitly. As the brother and sister of the parties, they felt that this sentence must be moved to the Liao army. Only in this way will the army be disciplined and will win the war.

"Brother, that's a good thing!" Hua Rong sensed the invisible momentum of the cavalry, and recalled what Chao Gai said again, and couldn't help but be amazed.

Chao Gai would like to say that the army is the backbone of the country, if this is all bent. It is difficult for that country to survive, and sooner or later it will perish. It's just that these words are easy to be caught, so he smiled and didn't say much: "Hehehe, let's enter the town and settle down the soldiers." Go see my little sister, our brothers have a good drink, and by the way, I will introduce you to your brothers. ”

"Brother, come with me!" Hua Rong laughed and hurriedly led the way in front. Chao Gai followed closely, Han Shizhong, Taishan, Hu Sanniang and others conveyed the order, the horn of the march sounded, and the mighty entered Qingfeng Town.

Many wealthy families, businessmen were a little stunned by Chao Gai's words. I've lived most of my life and never seen an army of steel like this.

"What did King Chao say before?" The old man at the head asked back to his senses.

"Old lady Wu, the king of heaven said that when you are a soldier to protect your family and defend the country, you will never take a stitch from the people." A few juniors pushing a wheelbarrow hurried back.

"Never take a stitch from the people, hahaha......" The old lady Wu muttered for a moment and then looked up to the sky and laughed, but tears slipped down and she was a little choked.

"What kind of world is this? The officers and soldiers only know how to bully the common people. Shandong Tianwang is upright in the countryside, but he has repeatedly suppressed bandits, and he is so proud and heroic! The chaotic times in the north have appeared, if this kind of heroic man can push ......"

"Hey, the old lady is careful that trouble comes out of her mouth." Someone next to him hurriedly stopped it.

"I'm scared of my age? When I turned around, I let my boy go to Jeju, Shandong. Mrs. Wu's old face was full of stubbornness, and she kept scolding and scolding.

"Let's go, boys, let's go to the barracks and sell meat!"

This old lady Wu is obviously very prestigious, and with a wave of her big hand, everyone followed.

Chao Gai didn't know what he was saying, and soon brought a large number of soldiers. After leading the team into Qingfeng Village, he saw a large group of people rushing over to greet him, waved his hand on the horse, and almost shouted hello comrades.

Along the way, the people looked at this cavalry team in black robes and black armor, the army was neat and tidy, and it was not scattered at all, and many people pointed to the many generals in front of them and discussed. The people in the town naturally knew Xiao Li Guanghuarong, when they saw that the burly man next to him who kept waving his hand was the king of Shandong.

The crowd is boiling!

The people on the street waved and cheered, beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers, and were full of joy. Some people scattered flower petals, and even some people in the crowd bowed down. It is really fragrant flowers and candles everywhere, and the people enthusiastically welcome the arrival of the king.

It's not the kind that comes because I'm afraid, but I greet the Chao Gai team from the bottom of my heart.

Chao Gai felt deeply, and felt that the people were simple, why is it so difficult to live a better life? Since I came by chance, I have the obligation to change.

Compared to him, the others are a little shocked!

Han Shizhong has been in the army since Hua Rong sat in Qingfeng Village for many years, and he has never encountered such a thing, no publicity, no coercion, these people voluntarily came to watch, and warmly welcomed the team of Chao Jiajun.

And that's just the beginning!
