Fan Yunchao's reasonable speech was strongly resonated by the troops and people present, and everyone responded to this speech with continuous applause and cheers one after another, and some people still had tears in their eyes.

However, some people heard that General Fan's words revealed a sense of polite rejection of the labor army, because according to the Tang military law, the Tang army was not allowed to accept gifts of gold, silver and other property from any local government or individual other than the military department, in order to prevent the army from being controlled by local forces because it often accepted money.

Zheng Feng, a villager who had served in the army, was very clear about this regulation, and at this moment he had calmed down, he gently broke away from the support of his own soldiers, walked in front of the people of the labor army, and said loudly:

General Fan's words just now are reasonable, and they speak to the hearts of the little elders, and I think they also speak to your hearts, and I am proud to have such border soldiers!

However, there is a sentence in General Fan's words that I dare not agree with, that is, 'the Tang Army shall not accept any non-governmental gifts other than military salaries'.

What we bring today is not property, nor gifts, but food made by the family themselves, handmade needlework made by the family themselves, is it not that the soldiers are not allowed to go back to their own homes to eat and wear their own clothes?"

Fan Yunchao was also stunned for a moment, so he had to say: "There is really no such regulation." ”

Zheng Feng, a villager elder, continued: "Although I, Zheng Feng, don't know a few big characters, but I have always kept in mind a family motto, which is called 'I dare not forget the country'! I think this sentence is also the voice of every person present today!"

We came to Beicheng today with sincerity, and we didn't think of ourselves as outsiders at all, we just wanted to see our relatives and soldiers, and let them know that we relatives have been supporting them all the time.

The general also said just now that the army and the people are originally a family, so would it be a violation of the military regulations and military discipline of the Tang Dynasty if they eat a mouthful of food at home and wear a pair of shoes at home? I don't think so?

I also hope that the general will agree to let us go closer to see these lovely children, and let us give some of the meager thoughts we have brought to our relatives, please!"

Fan Yunchao looked at Zheng Feng's eager face, then looked up at the eager faces of the people present, and announced loudly: "Okay! Since everyone is voluntary, and it is a small thing, then these sergeants from our camp will accept everyone's condolences on behalf of all the border troops, and the time will be a quarter of an hour.

But this is only this time, not for example! Please understand!"

"Thank you, General!" the people of the labor army waited for General Fan's words, and immediately after hearing this, they rushed up and surrounded the border army delegation out of the city in the center.

Some people took out the most precious food at home, most of them were just some cakes and hard-boiled eggs and stuffed them into the hands of the border soldiers, some people took out specially made headscarves, scarves, gloves, and cotton shoes to hang on the border soldiers and stuffed them in their arms, and some border soldiers were shy and refused to accept these things, and the people of the labor army would directly put the baskets at the feet of the border soldiers, turn their heads away, and couldn't stop shouting.

Most of the items of the labor army are ordinary things, and there is nothing valuable, but many people have taken out the best things at home to give to the soldiers of the border army, and each gift condenses the trust and care of the people of Dunhuang for the army.

There were also some wealthy families who even pulled cartloads of labor supplies to the vicinity of the military city, slapped the reins of horses and donkeys into the hands of the border army, and even gave carts and livestock and supplies to the border army.

A sister-in-law stood on tiptoe and took off the helmet of a young frontier soldier, and she saw from a distance that the young frontier soldier was barehead and wearing an iron helmet, and the cold iron leaves were attached to his head and face, and his forehead, cheeks, and neck were frozen blue and white.

The sister-in-law just has a felt hat in her hand, which can be placed in the iron helmet, which can keep warm from the cold and avoid frostbite, at least so that the eldest brother will not suffer so much, in case of a war, there is a felt hat in the iron helmet to cushion it, and the injury will be lighter.

But when the helmet was taken off, the sister-in-law saw the injured back of the young border soldier's head under the helmet at a glance, and she exclaimed in surprise.

This frontier soldier was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and although his sister-in-law looked at the back of his injured head with a look of astonishment, he did not have a trace of annoyance, and still stood there straight, maintaining a standard military posture.

The sister-in-law trembled her hand and touched the back of his head, where he had lost a large piece of hair from the injury, where there was a deep scar that almost cut off half of the back of his head.

The sister-in-law asked in a trembling voice, "Brother, does it hurt?"

The sister-in-law's cold fingers touched the back of the young border soldier's head, and the young border soldier's head shrank for a moment, but immediately straightened his neck and said, "It doesn't hurt!"

"Brother, do you regret being a soldier?"

"Defend your family and country, and never regret it!"

The sister-in-law did not continue to speak, lowered her head and stuffed the felt hat she had rolled into the iron helmet, adjusted it appropriately, and then solemnly put on the iron helmet for the young border soldier, and then helped him put on the iron helmet, looked at the eyebrows of the young border soldier seriously, her eyes began to moisten, and suddenly she hugged the border soldier and cried whining:

"You look like my brother, he is about the same age as you, but he is no longer there, he was killed by an arrow on the first day of the war, are you willing to be my brother!"

The border soldier was suddenly hugged by his sister-in-law, his body stiffened at first, and then after hearing his sister-in-law's words, his eyes immediately became gentle, his stiff body slowly relaxed, and he quietly listened to his sister-in-law tell her brother's story.

Something similar happened to many people, the sadness of remembrance after the civil war, and the laughter of returning home with a great victory.

Fan Yunchao looked at the scene of the labor army on the school field and was a little distracted, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

Seeing this scene, Li Ming stepped forward and whispered: "General, I'm afraid that the labor army activities will continue for a while, let's hurry up and rush to the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Fan Yunchao took a deep breath, jumped on the war horse, and beat the horse away, but at this time his mood had become very good, and his face was full of smiles, it turned out that it was such a simple thing to make people happy.

......

In the days of celebration in Dunhuang City, there are always people who feel that something is missing, but when they think about it seriously, they can't remember what is missing, which is exactly the effect that Li Mao wants.

Since the last assassination of Qin Shilian and the serious injury of Batu, Li Mao quietly returned to Dunhuang City, and since then he has lived in seclusion, not to show off his exploits, but to stay in the Xu family in a more low-key manner.

He took such a big risk to assassinate the commander and strategist of the Meng Yuan army, just to gain the trust of the high-level of Dunhuang City, in exchange for freedom, and now that the trust and freedom are there, Li Mao naturally does not want to put himself in front of everyone anymore.

Li Chengliang and Fan Yunchao didn't embarrass Li Mao again this time, because they couldn't find out the relationship between Li Mao and Jingyunguan, since they were people who had a certain relationship with the Protector God Cult, then Li Mao was not within the jurisdiction of the mortal government.

The City Lord's Mansion and the Garrison General's Mansion soon demanded in their respective military and political systems that they were not allowed to harass and embarrass Li Mao and those related to Li Mao, so Li Mao and his deeds were deliberately forgotten, and Li Mao didn't care at all, but was happy to be at ease.

Li Mao's recent mood has also been both happy and worried, happy that he can finally embark on the path of cultivation, and worried that he actually relied on a book of demon clan exercises to embark on the road of cultivation.

Li Mao repeatedly checked his body, it was indeed the body of the human race! He also studied some classics about the demon race, and found that the demon race could not transform into a human form until at least the Jindan period, and he was clearly not cultivating in the body, so it could not be a big demon change.

The memory loss has brought a lot of trouble to Li Mao, Li Mao only remembers a few fragments of his previous memories, and he can't connect them, so he can't confirm his identity, and his biggest obsession now is to reach the Song Kingdom as soon as possible in order to uncover the secrets of his body.

The secret of his life experience couldn't be solved for a while, but Li Mao's cultivation was extremely smooth, almost as soon as he felt the sense of qi, he broke through the Tongzhi period and directly entered the forging period, and during the forging period, he would be promoted to a small realm every day, and after nine days, he broke through to the bone quenching period, and then the speed of cultivation slowed down.

Li Mao checked the information and found that his current realm was equivalent to the Qi refining period of a Terran cultivator, which could be regarded as an introduction to cultivation, and Xu Ai, who had discovered the cultivation potential before him, was still trying to open up his tenth spiritual vein.

Li Mao didn't tell Xu Ai the true situation of his cultivation, for fear of causing her trouble, he just said that he already had a sense of qi, and he hadn't opened up the meridians for the time being, judging from the human cultivation system, Li Mao was definitely not a lie when he said this.

Xu Ai comforted Li Mao seriously, saying that his martial arts are so high, now that his cultivation has been introduced, his cultivation speed will definitely be faster in the future, Li Mao felt funny at the same time, and there was a trace of warmth in his heart.

Li Mao didn't want his cultivation realm to improve so quickly, so recently he began to deliberately suppress his cultivation to advance and advance, and try to find as many things as possible related to cultivation to confirm whether his realm is true and whether his exercises are reliable.

Xu Ai has been fascinated by the exciting activity of treasure hunting since the last time he discovered the incense copper stove, but because of the beginning of the defense of Dunhuang, the antique shops, pawnshops, and grocery stores in the city have been closed.

Xu Ai turned over the warehouse of his own chamber of commerce, because the Xu family chamber of commerce has been in business for many years, and there are some strange things, either they can't sell them, or they feel that they are special, and they are not willing to sell, and now they have become Xu Ai's Taobao harvest.

Li Mao happened to have a special talent in appreciating treasures, the two hit it off, one taught seriously, the other learned seriously, and really found a few treasures in these things, two of which are priceless antiques, and three magic weapons, one is a rune treasure that can be used many times, one is a one-time escape charm, and one is a hairpin magic weapon that can be used as a weapon.

In fact, the level of these three magic weapons is very low, and they can only be used until the Qi refining period at most, but for Xu Ai in the Extension Period, it is a heavy treasure, and he is naturally overjoyed.

Although Xu Ai loved these three magic weapons very much, she still insisted on giving the escape charm to Li Mao, because Li Mao liked to do some adventures in his life, and with this escape charm, he could be much safer.

Li Mao was very moved, in fact, the level of his own double knives was higher than these three magic weapons, but he didn't want Xu Ai to be unhappy, so he accepted it, and also picked out a Pulse Expansion Stage Pill from the leather bag that Li Renfeng gave him and gave it back to Xu Ai.

After Xu Ai went through this bumper harvest, he wanted to go to the street to find treasures, complaining every day why these shops were still not open, until the city lord's mansion issued an order the day before yesterday to cancel all kinds of military control and curfew, and allow all kinds of shops to open, Xu Ai couldn't sit still like crazy.

Early this morning, Xu Ai took Li Mao to the market in the south of the city, the north and west of the city were attacked by the barbarian coalition army, and the popularity recovered not as quickly as in the south and east of the city, and many shops did not open.

The two of them ran almost all over the antique shops, pawnshops and grocery stores in the south and east of the city in one day, because these shops were not shops that were urgently needed by the citizens, and the citizens' desire to buy decreased after the war, so many shops were not open, and the street market where mobile antique stalls were usually set up in the south of the city was also very light, and few people came out to open stalls.

Today is a test of Xu Ai's treasure appreciation, Li Mao did not speak from beginning to end, but was responsible for paying and carrying the "treasure" that Xu Ai bought.

They turned around for a day, bought back a lot of antiques and some things that felt valuable, and soon the two of them became famous, and in the eyes of those merchants, the two of them simply bought a bunch of rags and went back, secretly giving them the nickname - "Lost Brother and Sister".

On this day, the two of them purchased a lot of rags, which filled a warehouse, and spent one-ninety of Xu Jiu's family wealth, which made Xu Jiu feel distressed.

But when Xu Ai put a large pile of disorganized things into a small incense burner in front of Xu Jiu, Xu Jiu immediately shut his mouth.

As a successful businessman, he certainly knew what the incense burner meant, and not only did he stop getting angry, but he also encouraged Li Mao and Xu Ai to go out and find something valuable to come back.

Xu Jiu finally saw the hope of how to turn over after returning to Yuezhou this time!
