After meditating for a long time, Tang Qingshan's muscles and bones were a little stiff.

A set of punches is played, and a long breath is breathed.

Tang Qingshan put away his posture and flew back to the cave.

When he came to the entrance of the cave, he found Ye Liuyun standing there looking at him with a smile.

"Brother Ye, have you been watching me cultivate?"

Ye Liuyun shook his fan and chuckled, answering the question.

"After practicing for the past few days, I still talked about this set of boxing. ”

With a raised brow, the sun came out in the west. Is Brother Ye praising himself? Without waiting for Tang Qingshan to think about it, Ye Liuyun grabbed Tang Qingshan's arm and walked towards the cave.

"Hurry up and eat and rest early. We've been repairing for too long, and tomorrow we'll leave for Pylam Fort. ”

The two walked to the campfire, and the guard, seeing them sitting down, took out a bag of dry food and handed it over. Now, the energy in Tang Qingshan's body has stabilized, and he does not need to consume a lot of food. The two of them ate slowly, watching everyone pack their bags, and some of them had already laid down to rest.

Tang Qingshan was not without doubts.

"Brother Ye, I just wanted to ask you, I just practiced for an afternoon. Why is everyone packing their bags, and there should be some time before heading north, right?"

Although he didn't speak loudly, everyone who heard it looked at him strangely. Ye Liuyun looked at the few people sitting by the bonfire with a wicked smile on his face, and stretched his hand forward.

The people sitting around understood it, and one of them took out ten taels of silver and gave it to him.

Put away the silver and looked back at Tang Qingshan.

"I knew it was going to be like this, don't you know yet? You sit on that big tree for three days! Seeing that you don't wake up for a long time, I order, once you finish cultivating, we can set off at any time. ”

When he watched Ye Liuyun collect the cashier, Tang Qingshan was depressed again. But after listening to him finish speaking, Tang Qingshan was confused again.

"You mean to say I've been cultivating for three days?"

Looking at Ye Liuyun and the other people around him, everyone's expressions didn't look like they were teasing themselves. Tang Qingshan sighed with emotion, he just ran a big week. It actually took so long, and it really didn't take years to cultivate.

hastily ate steamed buns, and everyone quickly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the troops were ready to move out early. Tang Qingshan didn't want to at least, there was still some distance from here to Pinglan Castle. But Ye Liuyun asked someone to take out a cloth bag, which was full of books related to the art of war.

The two walked side by side, Ye Liuyun told him. These days, he is not the only one who is working hard, and it is inevitable to fight in Pinglan Fort. Ye Liuyun reviewed the art of war in advance and prepared with him on the road.

So as not to reach the battlefield and be caught off guard.

Tang Qingshan was interested when he heard it, he used to be in the village. Grandpa just handed it over to the children in the village to learn to write and learn the principles of life. Nowadays, since it is leading troops to fight, it is really a problem to not have the art of war.

Tang Qingshan humbly asked for advice along the way, and Ye Liuyun knew everything and said everything.

I walked for another ten days, rounding the last mountain. In front of you is an endless meadow, and the end of the meadow is the focus of the trip, Pylam Fort.

The sky in the distance at Pinglan Fort was gray. It is in stark contrast to this side of the mountain. Tang Qingshan and his entourage quickened their pace and came to the pass.

They were still far away when the soldiers defending the city spotted them. When they got closer, the archers pointed at them in unison.

"Who's coming, this is a border fortress. Make a quick U-turn and leave. ”

Ye Liuyun lightly clamped the horse's belly and came closer.

"We are soldiers of the Iron Floating City, at the behest of the city lord. Come to support Pylam Castle. ”

As he spoke, Ye Liuyun showed the token of the Tiefu City clerk and a customs clearance document.

The soldiers defending the city sent someone to open the city gate, took the token and the customs clearance paper, and quickly returned to the city.

In less than a moment, a stout middle-aged officer led a group of soldiers out of the city to greet them.

"Below, Han Shan, the deputy general of Pinglan Fort. Dare to ask which one is Tang Qingshan, Lord Tang. ”

Seeing that the person who came spoke so politely, Tang Qingshan hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

"Adults don't dare to be, Tang Qingshan is below. ”

Han Shan looked at the young man carefully, feeling incredible in his heart. The letter made it very clear that Tang Qingshan was the commander of the entire army of Tiefu City, and he was the most powerful person in the entire city except for the city lord. If such a person is not good to hide in Tiefu City and enjoy happiness, why should he run to the border to die? Moreover, how old is this young man in front of him? Nineteen or twenty? This is a battle death, this is more like a child.

If it weren't for the clear writing on the customs clearance paper, it would be written clearly in black and white. Han Shan thinks that this must be the guy who didn't follow the kindness in the court and wants to mislead people's children. Seeing the two of them looking at him, Han Shan suddenly realized that he seemed to be out of shape. stepped forward at the moment and grabbed the two affectionately.

"This must be the clerk Ye Liuyun, Lord Ye? Hahaha, Tiefu City is indeed an outstanding person. The two are young and promising, and Han is far away. Atonement for sins. Come on, come on, come in. ”

Han Shan's enthusiasm is quite sincere, and Pinglan Fort is not the main battlefield. There weren't many soldiers sent in the first place, plus years of war. There were only about 50,000 regular troops left in the city. If it weren't for the fact that there were still some homeless soldiers in the city, it is estimated that Pinglan Fort would have been breached long ago. Now, there are so many of them, although it is said that it is a drop in the bucket, but fortunately, it is better than nothing. What's more, looking at the style of these two people, they are still one writer and one martial artist.

As long as there are people in Pinglan Fort now, it is in urgent need.

Therefore, Han Shan wished that they would hurry into the city.

"The defender of our city is General Gansuke, and the old general has been fighting horses all his life. Now he is sixty-eight years old, and he should have returned to his hometown. However, the war was tight, and the old general had rich combat experience. That's why I'm sent to our Pinglan Castle. I'll take the two of them to the General's Mansion. ”

Han Shan led the way forward, and a group of men and horses marched towards the General's Mansion.

On both sides of the road, most of the houses were dilapidated, and the people followed the horses' hooves to look at the crowd, staring at them with unkind eyes. Almost every household is hammering iron tools, as if the whole city is full of soldiers. Look at the childish child who occasionally runs by. The little baby's face is green, which is obviously caused by not having enough food for a long time.

Along the way, Tang Qingshan has a full view of the recent situation of Pinglan Fort. Only now did he have the most superficial understanding of war. Looking at everything in front of him, Tang Qingshan felt depressed in his heart, and he didn't know if his father was here.

Soon came to the General's Mansion, and the old General Gansuke was already waiting outside the mansion gate. Everyone greeted each other in front of the mansion again, and then they entered the mansion together. Ye Liuyun went with the civilian official to go through the relevant procedures, and Tang Qingshan chatted with the old general about the situation on the front line.

"Don't hide it, General Gan. It has been less than a month since Tang took over as the commander of Tiefu City, and the art of war is also the last time that Lord Ye has been temporarily cramming. Marching and fighting is not child's play, Tang is just good at fists and feet, if the enemy is coming. The general managed the arrangements, and Tang Qingshan was ready to be dispatched at any time. ”

The old man didn't expect that Tang Qingshan would come up and go straight in.

Just as he wanted to say a few polite words to him, the horn of the enemy attack suddenly sounded on the side of the city gate tower.
