"Gentlemen, am I going too fast?"

The soldier who led the way in front of him saw that Ji Yuan and Chang Yi had not been able to keep up with his footsteps, so he thought that his steps were too fast, after all, the two behind him were just scholars, and they also said before that Ji came in a carriage, but he got off in advance.

Ji Yuan hurriedly said to the sergeant.

"Don't worry, Master Jun, we'll keep up!"

Chang Yi also nodded on the side.

This made the soldier a little embarrassed, and scratched his head.

"Don't call me that, two gentlemen, you are learned people, I am just a soldier, I can stop the enemy, but if you want everyone to live a good life, you still have to rely on you. ”

Unexpectedly, this little soldier had this realization, Ji Yuan couldn't help but glance at him more, and then he and Chang Yi slightly quickened their pace.

Most of the surrounding soldiers were also looking at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, two people who were obviously not dressed in the army, speculating about who the two were and what they were doing.

The city is not big, slightly smaller than the county seat of Dahe County, and after walking around for a while, I finally came to a building in the center of the city, which was not only more magnificent than other buildings, but also had many soldiers standing guard.

"Two gentlemen, this is the General's Mansion in my city, and Liao Sima is also here on weekdays, but the two of them have to meet the general before they can meet Liao Sima. ”

"As it should be. ”

Ji Yuan responded, and the leading soldier ran to the mansion to report first.

After a short time, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi had met the generals in this city, who were neither fierce nor handsome, and looked unattractive, but all the soldiers respected him very much.

At this moment, Ji Yuan and Chang Yi were standing in a hall, there was a large table in the room, on which was covered with a large map, and the map was full of markers, and the general sat on the chair behind the big table and looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi.

He had a handwritten letter from the North Gate Commander in his hand, indicating that he had repeatedly compared the documents and interrogated the two of them.

"You guys came from Zhongdao County? We haven't received supplies for a long time, what is the situation over there? The last time we sent a messenger, it was also perfunctory to us, saying that they would deliver military rations and supplies for us as soon as possible, but now we don't even have a piece of pig iron!"

The general stood up from his position and pointed to a certain place on the map.

"We have been here for three years, and I can't remember how many fights and how many brothers have died in the past three years, but what about our supplies and our military expenses? I even know that some brothers have entrusted the military expenses they have saved to the rear, but these military expenses have not really been delivered to their families, and I am afraid that they are in the pockets of some officials!"

There were three people in the room, the general and Ji Yuan Changyi, but his words were not loud, because he was afraid of being heard by the brothers outside, but the general's words were very imposing, and a strong evil aura came to him.

Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, as immortal cultivators, can clearly feel the bloody power in it, and they are afraid that ordinary demons will be afraid of three points, but for people like them who have profound immortal cultivation, it is not enough.

Ji Yuan could only arch his hand and replied calmly.

"This general, Mr. Chang and I are not officials of Yuan Zhaoguo, but I just asked for a document to send a letter here. ”

"Yes, Mr. Ji and I came all the way from Liao Zhengbao's hometown, and we don't know about this matter. ”

Replaced by the previous Chang Yi, although he is also polite, he basically doesn't say so much to mortals, it's not that he looks down on him, but there is no need to waste this effort, mortals are too stubborn, and it doesn't make sense in a word.

But at this moment, it is not only because of following the fate, but also because the mortals in front of him are indeed worthy of admiration, or that the soldiers of this city are all respectable people.

"Hoo ......"

The general exhaled, eased his emotions, and sat back down.

"The two gentlemen are frightened, this matter really has nothing to do with the two of you, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. ”

The general has his helplessness, and the soldiers in this city have their helplessness, they can't retreat, they retreat, what should Yuan Zhaoguo do in the rear? And the order to guard the town is always there, and they can't retreat.

"By the way, the two of you have traveled all the way, but if there is any other news, you don't need any military intelligence and government affairs, just talk about the people's feelings!"

Chang Yi glanced at Ji Yuan, as if he was hesitant to talk about what happened before, but Ji Yuan still nodded at him, and the latter spoke.

"The day before yesterday, a great plague broke out in Yuan Zhaoguo, which swept through at least one-third of the country, and countless people were infected, and the dead were not counted. ”

"What!?"

The general sat up straight, his hands clutching at the wooden handle of the chair, making a creaking sound.

"Plague, what's going on now? Is Hase-do County affected?"

Ji Yuan said.

"The plague has been controlled, and as long as the follow-up treatment is appropriate, there should be no further outbreak, but those who died in the plague cannot be resurrected...... As for the specific places that were affected, we don't know too much, mainly because we don't know the names of places. ”

When the general heard this, he showed a face that was neither crying nor smiling.

"Properly governed...... Court...... Forget it, I've already sent someone to pass on Liao Sima, and it should be there soon. ”

"Thank you, General!"

"Well, it's a good thing that my brothers can have a message from home...... By the way, come on, show the two gentlemen tea!"

Hearing the order, a sergeant came in and went out again.

After waiting for a while, a tall and burly man in leather armor walked briskly with the two sergeants, his face clearly filled with excitement and joy.

"Where is the family letter, where is the family letter?"

Liao Zhengbao's voice is very loud, and the voice has already rumbled here before the person arrives, and he looks very different from his father's honest appearance.

Walking into the hall, Liao Zhengbao first saluted the general with a fist, and then looked at Ji Yuan.

"Where's the family letter? Did my father and mother finally reply to me? It's not easy to find someone who can write a family letter, and the family has no money left to buy pen and ink, I've been looking forward to this book for a long time, and it's finally here!"

Liao Zhengbao was very emotional, and it was not difficult to hear from his words that he had written more than one letter to his family, but in fact it had not reached his home.

Ji Yuan sighed slightly, just arched his hand towards it, and said with a positive color.

"It was not written down, but it was a message and a token. ”

As he spoke, Ji Yuan took out a small arm-length thing that had been wrapped in cloth from behind his back and handed it to Liao Zhengbao, who hurriedly untied it layer by layer, revealing a wooden sword inside.

The wooden sword is also carved with a small figure and several bars.

Liao Zhengbao carefully stroked the wooden sword made by his father when he was a child, as if he saw the happy times when he was a child.

"It's mine, it's the wooden sword my father made for me, I didn't expect it to be there, it's still there, obviously I couldn't find it before I joined the army......!

Liao Zhengbao suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi.

"How are my parents, how are the people in the village?"

Ji Yuan replied solemnly.

"Liao Sima and rest assured, your father and mother are very good, healthy and able to eat and sleep, not only that, but your father also mobilized the whole village to build a righteous mound, looking for a burial place for the bones in the wilderness, he is a well-known good person. ”

"Oh oh, that's good, that's good!"

Ji Yuan finally smiled, and then said.

"By the way, they are still old, you have a younger brother, named Liao Baogui, six years old. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Liao Zhengbao was overjoyed, clutching the wooden sword tightly with both hands, and then slapped his thigh again.

"Oh, then this wooden sword should be left for my brother to play with, why bring it to me, isn't it okay to have a message, by the way, what message did my father and mother bring to me?"

"Uh......"

Ji Yuan has always been able to speak well, how many times he has saved his life and reversed the situation, but this time he rarely stopped his words, and then took a step closer to Liao Zhengbao and whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

"The second elder of the Liao family hopes that you can go home, you have not returned home after many years in the army, and they miss you very much. ”

Liao Zhengbao was slightly stunned, looked at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi, then looked at the others in the room, and spoke directly.

"Let me go back?"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent, and several soldiers on the side looked at Liao Zhengbao, and even the general subconsciously sat up straight and looked at him.

Liao Zhengbao opened his mouth loudly, and Ji Yuan and even Chang Yi already vaguely knew what answer he would say.

Liao Zhengbao has been looking at the wooden sword in his hand since he finished saying that, and he was silent for a long time before a deep voice came out of his mouth.

"You two have such great ability to make me return to my hometown?"

Chang Yi looked at Ji Yuan and saw that he didn't speak, so he opened his mouth to answer.

"This matter is not difficult for me and Mr. Ji, it is enough to ask for the official document and let someone send us here. ”

"Hehe, the two gentlemen are just two powerless scholars, although there are a lot of wine bags and rice bags in the back, they are still related to the card, and the government is not a decoration. It may be easy to get an official document, but if I go back like this, it is a defection, and if I am found to be killed, I will also implicate my family, and maybe I will implicate you!"

Chang Yi continued.

"It's a small thing, but it can be solved. ”

"Hehehe, I don't believe it!"

Liao Zhengbao said and glanced up at Chang Yi, and continued to look at the wooden sword.

The general in the seat wanted to speak and stopped, his hands clenched the armrests again, his inner struggle would not be much less than Liao Zhengbao, just when he wanted to say that he could help, Liao Zhengbao suddenly looked up at Ji Yuan and Chang Yi.

"Thank you, gentlemen, for bringing me the message of home, this wooden sword...... Give it to my brother on my behalf!"

Liao Zhengbao handed the wooden sword back to Ji Yuan, and the words in his mouth seemed very firm.

"My father established the righteous mound, he is a well-known good man in the township, of course his son can't be disgraced as a deserter, there are my brothers in the family, ......and there are also here! I'm not going back...... Ho ......"

Liao Zhengbao's last breath of relief was full of trills.

Ji Yuan sighed softly, patted Chang Yi's shoulder and shook his head slightly, and then said to Liao Zhengbao.

"Are you sure you're making that decision?"

Chang Yi couldn't help but answer.

"Do you know who Mr. Ji and I are? Do you know that if you go back, you will not only be reunited with your family, but you will also be blessed with ordinary people, do you know ......?"

"Do you know my friendship with thousands of brothers in the city? Do you know what kind of torment I will have in my heart when I leave them alone, just thinking about it just now, I have a bad conscience!"

Liao Zhengbao didn't wait for Chang Yi to finish speaking, and yelled at him with red eyes.

"I know that these two gentlemen must be capable people, I know! But I have already decided, thank you!"

Chang Yi was hit like this, but he was not angry, but nodded towards Liao Zhengbao with a smile, and then took out a talisman from his sleeve, and the light flashed in Ji Yuan's eyes, but in the eyes of the people around him, it was just a "ghost drawing" thing.

"Here, this is the peace and blessing that your father and mother asked for for you, so that you can always carry it with you, you can't refuse this, right?"

Liao Zhengbao was stunned again, and then hurriedly grabbed it and brought it over.

"Wasn't this taken out earlier?

Ji Yuan looked at this scene with a smile, nodded to Chang Yi and looked at Liao Zhengbao and the general.

"In this way, Mr. Chang and I can be regarded as dishonest!"
