"Now canonize Lin Xiao, the chief catcher of the six gates, as the marshal of the dragon guard, and order him to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to Xiangyang City to defend against the enemy, there must be no mistake!"

"Lin Xiao takes the order!"

After receiving the holy decree, Lin Xiao directly raised his head and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, that Weichen will go down and prepare now!"

The emperor nodded, and let Lin Xiao go down with great satisfaction.

......

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Xiao was ready to go, directly took more than a dozen masters from the six gates, and took the 30,000 elite soldiers carefully selected by the emperor to march directly towards Xiangyang City.

Along the way, I worked hard and finally arrived at Xiangyang City on the third day.

Along the way, the team around Lin Xiao has expanded a lot. The catchers he brought with him were among the best masters among the six doors, and he naturally had a lot of righteous friends on the rivers and lakes.

So when they felt Xiangyang City, the original team of more than a dozen people had turned into hundreds. As for the 30,000 elite soldiers, they are a little slower than Lin Xiao and them, and it is estimated that they will not be able to reach Xiangyang City until tomorrow.

The news of Lin Xiao's arrival was immediately known by General Guo Jingguo, the general of the garrison of Xiangyang City.

This Guo Jing was originally a native of the rivers and lakes, but he had a patriotic heart. The so-called chivalrous man, who loves the country and the people, Guo Jing is such a hero.

When the Celestial Empire was first established, he guarded Xiangyang City with the defenders of Xiangyang City, and I don't know how many meritorious deeds he established. The imperial court felt his merit and directly canonized him as the general of the garrison of Xiangyang City, so that he had been guarding the city.

Looking at Guo Jing and his party who were coming towards them, Lin Xiao and the others hurriedly dismounted and walked over.

"The last general Guo Jing, see the marshal!"

As soon as Guo Jing saw Lin Xiao, he wanted to kneel down and salute.

Lin Xiao looked at him and hurriedly helped him.

"Guo Daxia doesn't need to be polite, Lin Xiao and I are also half of the people in the rivers and lakes, let's talk about each other as equals, what kind of gifts do you use!" Lin Xiao said.

As soon as Lin Xiao's words came out. Immediately, Huang Rong, who was following Guo Jing, felt a lot more good.

She was a proud person, but her husband was an old-fashioned and pedantic person. If it were Huang Rong, he would definitely not abide by the rules of the court as rigidly as Guo Jing.

After all, they are still people in the rivers and lakes in their bones, how can they be subject to so many rules.

And Guo Jing doesn't think so, according to the rank of the officials of the Celestial Empire, he is only a third-rank general, while Lin Xiao is a first-rank marshal. When he saw Lin Xiao, he naturally wanted to kneel down and salute.

However, Lin Xiao is not the kind of person who shows off his identity, he still has a good impression of Guo Jing, although he has done a lot of things wrong in Yang Guo's affairs. And the pedantic character is not very likable either.

But in essence, he is indeed a hero.

"Presumably this must be Mrs. Guo!" Lin Xiao suddenly looked at Huang Rong beside Guo Jing, "When Lin was in the capital, I heard that Mrs. Guo was extremely intelligent, and Ling Zundong Evil Huang Yao Master was even more pedantic, and he was an example for my generation to learn!"

Lin Xiao not only praised Huang Rong, but also praised her father Huang Yaoshi. Everyone likes to listen to good words, no one likes to listen to those harsh and unpleasant words, and Huang Rong is no exception.

Huang Rong, who was quite fond of it at first sight, also smiled and said a few words to Lin Xiao at this moment.

The group walked towards the city. While talking about the current situation.

"Guo Daxia, I don't know what the situation in Xiangyang City is now, but the people have already been notified?" Lin Xiao asked.

Hearing this, Guo Jing said: "At present, the enemy army has been camped ten miles away from Xiangyang City, and there is a possibility of attacking at any time. As for the people in the city, they all trust Guo and are willing to cooperate with the army to enforce martial law. ”

Listening to Guo Jing's narration, Lin Xiao also nodded.

Xiangyang City is a city that has experienced many wars. The folk customs here are simple and have a bit of a fierce atmosphere. Even ordinary people are accustomed to this kind of scene of fighting and killing, even if the war burns to the doorstep, they can behave relatively calmly.

"Martial law is a must. I don't want the people of Xiangyang City to have any casualties because of this battle, and I ask Guo Daxia to remind you more about this, so as not to have unnecessary casualties!" Lin Xiao said to Guo Jing.

These people are the basis for Lin Xiao to complete the task, even if he dies, he can't complete the task of the fourth link perfectly, so Lin Xiao naturally has to pay special attention to them.

Of course, none of the so-called deaths can be completed perfectly, not that these people cannot have accidents at all, but that they cannot die at the hands of the enemy. If it is at the hands of someone else, or if it is a case of death of old age, it does not fall within the scope of the mandate.

If even this is counted, Lin Xiao will simply give up!

Could it be that he still has to gather the people of the entire Xiangyang City together to protect them?

Because of the suddenness of the incident, it took a lot of time for the imperial court to dispatch troops and horses, and the territory was too large, and the soldiers and horses were scattered all over the place. Coupled with the fact that this time it was the army guarding the border that rebelled, and the matter became very complicated.

Lin Xiao estimated that he would have to guard Xiangyang City for at least a month or so, considering the strict requirements of the task, Lin Xiao had already prepared to directly protect all the people of Xiangyang City in one place in the later stage.

The world is big, and the task is the biggest!

If the task is not completed, everything in front of Lin Xiao will be in vain.

With Guo Jing and his party, Lin Xiao and others came directly to Guo's mansion.

"Marshal, this time Guo invited a lot of friends from the rivers and lakes to come to help, and the marshal is also half of the people in the rivers and lakes, how about asking the marshal to give Guo a face and meet them later?"

After entering the door, Guo Jing suddenly said to Lin Xiao with a little twist.

No wonder Lin Xiao always felt that Guo Jing seemed to have something to say along the way, but he didn't say it for a long time, and now when he hears it, it turns out to be such a trivial matter!

"Guo Daxia is serious, although Lin is in the imperial court, but in essence, we are all martial arts people, and it is natural to meet each other. What's more, now that the country is in trouble, they are willing to lend a helping hand, and we should be grateful to them!" Lin Xiao said.

Guo Jing had already learned a little bit about Lin Xiao's character along the way, but he still didn't know whether Lin Xiao was willing to meet those people in the rivers and lakes, after all, in Guo Jing's thoughts, Lin Xiao was a big official of the imperial court, and he was the kind of person who was on top, so it should be difficult to get along with.

But now he suddenly realized that he had been thinking wrong all along
