Chapter 21: Peel City Opens Its Doors

When the four children had returned home, the siblings Kanda and Diya hurriedly repeated to their mother and grandmother what they had seen outside the village and what the tall and thin officer had said to them.

After listening to what her children had to say, Meda scolded Kanda and Diya in a panic, and she drove the two children to the next bedroom to read to them, while she sat beside her mother, looking at her mother worriedly.

In Kanda's retelling, he mentions that the tall and thin officer had said, "Although there should be no Egan bandits in the vicinity, eh...... It is the shadow of the officers and soldiers in your mouth. ”

Although those soldiers did not clearly state their origins, at this juncture, what would be the origin of the people who would call the officers and soldiers such and such a bandit army?

Mrs. Kaga looked at her daughter gently and said with a smile: "Murda, Holy Venerable Yun, 'Perfection cannot be sought, so I will be at peace with what happens.'" ’”

"But mother, I'm still worried." Meda said distraughtly, "I heard that the people who live in the west have always been savage, and if Kanda and Diya are really rebels made up of mobs, what should we do in the future, will they rush into our village and burn and loot?" ”

"I don't think things are going to be what you think." Mrs. Kaga said calmly, "Didn't Kanda and Diya come back in good shape? ”

After hearing this, Mo Da's heart settled down a little, although the anxious flame in her heart did not completely calm down, but she also helplessly realized that her family had no choice in the face of such a big change.

"Holy Blessing, may all be safe as usual." She prayed silently in her heart.

……

The news that the four children brought back did not quickly set off a huge storm in the village, after all, there were too many rumors in the village during this time.

The next day, a group of soldiers with smoke and dust on their bodies and a strip of gray cloth wrapped around their left arm came to the village.

The already unpeaceful fishing village is now completely in turmoil.

"Immortals, three immortals!"

Early this morning, there was a knock on the door of Shi Cheng's three people.

"Who?" Wu Neng dragged his heavy legs to the door in a daze, and opened the door while muttering like a wanderer, "The doctor also needs to rest, if you want to hang up the emergency, please find my companion Dr. Tie Miantie." ”

The door was opened, and Wu Neng's eyes were greeted by Aguer's rather anxious face.

Seeing Aguer's expression, Wu Neng finally sobered up a little, and he hurriedly asked with concern: "It's Uncle Aguer, what's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

"Wu Xiaoxian, someone is here in the village!"

"Someone's coming?" Wu Neng's mind hadn't turned around yet, "What's so strange about this, why are people so flustered?" ”

"It's not what you think, a group of soldiers came to the village this morning, and it doesn't seem to be an official army!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Wu Neng's eyes widened, but even Shi Cheng and Tie Mian, who were meditating with their eyes closed not far away, opened their eyes in unison.

What happened inside and outside the village before, Shi Cheng and Tie Mian both saw in their eyes, what was happening in Kawa Country now, and they naturally knew better than the villagers in the small fishing village.

Shi Cheng and Tie Mian glanced at each other, "This day has finally come." ”

Although Wu Neng's face was much more nervous than Shi Cheng and Tie Mian, after all, he was already fully mentally prepared, so he didn't look at a loss yet.

Seeing that Shi Cheng and the three of them were so calm, Aguer was extremely surprised in his heart, but when he thought of the identity of the three of them as immortals, he was not surprised, after all, they were legendary immortals, and this calmness and calmness were indeed not something that mortals could have.

"In that case, let's take a look." After saying this, Shi Cheng stood up and tidied up his clothes.

Iron Mask also nodded, stood up, and the three of them followed behind Agul and headed for the clearing near the north entrance of the village.

When the three of them arrived at the clearing, the small clearing was already crowded with people, and the villagers exchanged heads and ears, and everyone's faces were different.

Standing in front of the villagers was a row of fresh faces, led by a tall middle-aged man dressed in a Kawa military uniform and wearing an ear protection cloth hat for artillery, and on his left hand and right hand stood two soldiers in infantry uniforms, and the rest of the visitors were dressed in a messy manner, but all the strangers had a gray-white strip of cloth wrapped around their left arm.

Shi Cheng quietly looked at the expressions of the surrounding villagers, their faces were somewhat nervous, but most of them were still blank on their faces. A few people looked like mourners, pale faces, and even more crumbling, as exemplified by Jika standing at the front of the crowd.

The appearance of Shi Cheng and the three of them surprised the artillery officer at the head, but he had heard some news about Shi Cheng and the three of them from the villagers before, which greatly reduced the feeling of surprise in his heart.

Seeing that the people were almost there, the artillery officer motioned for everyone to be quiet, and finally he cleared his throat heavily and began his speech.

As the officer cleared his throat, Shi Cheng clearly saw Jika's legs trembling.

"Villagers, compatriots!" The artillery officer opened his mouth, his voice naturally loud, so that everyone could hear it clearly, "I'm sure many of you have already guessed who we are. ”

With that, he stretched out his hand and pulled the clothes off his body, and continued: "Please don't see this layer of skin on us and think that we are the king's dog-legged bandit army, that is, the official army you used to call it. No, no, we are fighting to bring down the cruel and mediocre king, we are your friends and enemies! ”

"The king, or rather the mastress who sits high in the city, has been overthrown by the rebels led by our Banner Officers League!" The sonorous words came out of the officer's mouth and slammed into everyone's heart.

The officer had apparently done his homework before entering the village, and knew what most of the villagers called the city with its tall walls.

Jika's body shook, and he desperately clenched the crutch in his hand to save himself from making a fool of himself in public.

But for most of the villagers, they didn't know much of what the artillery officer was saying. They didn't know what the Banner Officers' League was, and many of them didn't even know what the word king meant, but they knew that the towering being in the city had been ripped from his chair by these strangers.

There was a great confusion in the crowd, and everyone turned their heads to each other, almost all of them with a look of disbelief on their faces.

It is not that the villagers have never seen the members of the rebels, in fact, many people have a faint premonition in their hearts about changing the dynasty, but when this day really comes, everyone still can't hold back the agitated emotions in their hearts.

"Fellow citizens, folks! There are still some remnants of the King's Hawkdog in the eastern part of Peel City, but their days are short. I promise you that soon, a stable life will return. You may have heard a lot of rumors smearing us before, but what I want to tell you is that we will prove our intentions to you with our actions and facts. That is to let all the villagers, all the people of Kawa country, embrace a happy and beautiful life. Embrace a life where everyone has arable land and everyone can have enough to eat! ”

The voices in the crowd were louder again, and everyone heard the last words from the officer's mouth.

"I have one more thing to announce, and that is that Kawa City, as you call it, will be open to everyone from tomorrow. You don't have to wait for the Grand Bazaar to open and exchange your hard-earned money for a chance to enter the city, you just need to go through the normal security checks, and you can go through the city gates at any time to buy what you need. There will be no entrance fees, and even after settling down in the future, you won't need to be inspected when you enter the city! ”

These few words provoked a higher reverberation than even anything the officer had said before.

"What, what do these words mean, that we can go to the city to buy things anytime and anywhere?"

"It can't be a lie, right?"

"It's hard to say, if you want me to say let's wait for a while, who knows what the situation is."

"Anyway, I'm going to take a look tomorrow, the flint in the house has just broken down, and I can't cook if I don't replace it with a new one."

The expressions on the faces of the villagers were all seen by the officer, but he didn't care about the doubts from the crowd, and the truth would be the best weapon to fight back against them.

He looked to his left hand side and said to his companions standing on his left: "My task has been completed, and the internal governance of the village will be left to you, hard work!" ”

A middle-aged man standing on the left side of the officer, dressed in a light blue short robe, nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

The officer nodded, looked past the middle-aged man, looked at a short and thin young man on the far left of the line, who looked only fourteen or five years old, and said with a smile: "Little Douzi, I have to trouble you to leave the wounded soldiers and military horses for a while, and become a barefoot medicine master in this nearby village." Rest assured that your previous position will be replaced by someone else. ”

The young man carried a patched rag bag on his back, a cloth hat wrinkled like a soaked lychee grass on his head, and a gray strip of cloth wrapped around his left arm that looked a little crooked.

The young man turned around, grinned mischievously at the artillery officer, then gave a very non-standard military salute and replied loudly in a slightly childish tone: "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" ”

Shi Cheng in the crowd also noticed the young man, or Shi Cheng had noticed him a long time ago, since Shi Cheng saw the young man, he found that he seemed to have a smile on his face all the time, as if there was no trace of fatigue after the battle.

The young man's appearance is not outstanding, his dark face is full of dry skin, there is no trace of the youth that a Chita or a cold moon person of the same age should have, but his smile can give Shi Cheng a warm and warm, cheerful and optimistic feeling, this feeling is very unique and wonderful.

"Anyway, judging by the current situation, a new order has begun." Shi Cheng thought to himself.

Shi Cheng and the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, originally they thought that the approaching war would put them in a difficult situation while they were recuperating from their injuries, but at least from the current situation, things are going much better than they expected before.
