Rush to Lijiang
"Don't worry, general, I know, I understand, you can rest assured!" Li Guang nodded hurriedly in agreement.
"Well, as long as you answer me honestly and answer my questions, I will say a few kind words for you before the Holy One. Chi Zhongtian said.
In fact, he also made an empty promise, and the genius in the pool would not talk about these things.
But Li Guang was too excited when he heard it, if Chi Zhongtian could praise him a few words in front of the emperor, then he would not be worried in this life.
"Thank you, General!"
"Let me ask you, I asked General Pang before, and he said that he has allocated grain and grass more than a dozen times, is this true or false?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
"This one is true. Although Li Guang was a little reluctant, he still told the truth.
"How many of the defenders of Lijiang City are there now?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
"There weren't many defenders in the original, and we had more than 10,000 people in total in the southern Xinjiang counterinsurgency army. Li Guang replied.
"More than 10,000 people" Chi Zhongtian muttered while quickly calculating in his heart, but after calculating, he didn't know how much grain and grass more than 10,000 people needed every day.
"Nonsense! More than 10,000 people, how can they use up so much grain and grass!" Chi Zhongtian suddenly burst out, startling Li Guang.
Li Guang looked at Chi Zhongtian's appearance, and felt in his heart that this Chi Zhongtian must understand something in his heart, so he said: "This last general is not very clear. ”
In fact, Chi Zhongtian was deceiving him, wanting to see his reaction, and when he saw him like this, he immediately understood.
"Okay, then let me ask you, how is the war going now?" Chi Zhongtian quickly changed the subject.
"Everything is going well, the marshal has given the order to launch a general attack in three days!" Li Guang replied.
"Oh, you're going to attack?" Chi Zhongtian asked curiously.
"Yes, the enemy's camp is less than ten miles south of Lijiang City, and the meaning of the commander is to win as soon as possible, and the good horse will go to work and return to the court. Li Guang replied.
"Well, in that case, I won't ask more, you can leave now, as for the matter of Arrow Feather, you go back and say that you are preparing. Chi Zhongtian said.
Seeing that Chi Zhongtian let himself leave, Li Guang exhaled a sigh of relief, and then said: "Thank you general, the last general has retired!"
"Don't tell anyone about me, including your commander, understand?" Chi Zhongtian said, Li Guang nodded and said, "Don't worry, general!"
Originally, Chi Zhongtian wanted to ask more, but after asking a few words, he found out that because he was a layman about fighting, even if Li Guang answered something, he couldn't learn more from it, so it was better not to ask, because Chi Zhongtian was afraid that he would ask too much, and Li Guangwan would be humorous if he saw that he didn't understand anything.
Not long after Li Guang left, Pang Zhen walked in, and after seeing Chi Zhongtian, he asked, "How about General Chi, I didn't lie to you." ”
Chi Zhongtian nodded and said, "Alas, I really can't figure out what they are doing, but I will go to see it myself tomorrow, General Pang, you tell me the truth, is it impossible to allocate 100,000 arrow feathers?"
Pang Zhen shook his head and said: "It's not that 100,000 arrows are still taken out, I'm just distressed." ”
"General Pang, I understand what you mean, you also want to save some for the imperial court, I know this intention, but after all, there is a war ahead, you better allocate it, lest once there is a crisis, you will be the one who suffers in the end. ”
Pang Zhen shook his head helplessly and said: "The general said that he was joking, no matter what, as long as the marshal gives the order, I will definitely transfer it." ”
"Since that's the case, then I won't bother and say goodbye!" Chi Zhongtian said a few words to Pang Zhen before leaving here.
After returning to the inn in Jingxian, Chi Zhongtian went directly back to the room to sleep, woke up the autumn cicada early the next morning, and then hurried away.
The distance from Jingxian to Lijiang City is less than 100 miles, Chi Zhongtian deliberately slowed down, walking around along the way, and only arrived at Lijiang City two days later.
During this time, the gates of Lijiang City were closed, and only the east gate was open for a short period of time every day.
It was about Shen Shi now, and the east gate happened to be open, and after careful questioning, the sergeant guarding the city let Chi Zhongtian and Qiu Chan in.
After entering Lijiang City, Chi Zhongtian and Qiu Chan did not go to the inn, but went directly to a small restaurant and ate a little food.
While eating, Chi Zhongtian also observed by the way, and he found that Lijiang City was very deserted, and there were few pedestrians on the street.
Maybe it's a small border town, so it's not a worry, it's just that Qiu Cicada's expression at this time is obviously a little strange, and Chi Zhongtian also found her abnormality on the way, but he hasn't had time to ask.
"Qiu Cicada, I found that during this time, you are always in a state of distraction, what's wrong?" Chi Zhongtian felt that it should be a good time to ask now.
Qiu Cicada was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, Childe, I'm fine, I'm fine." ”
"If you have something on your mind, just say it, don't hide it in front of me. Chi Zhongtian said casually while bowing his head and taking a bite of something.
Qiu Chan sighed and said, "Childe, after Lijiang City, it won't be far from my former home." ”
Chi Zhongtian smiled slightly: "Well, not only that, I'm afraid that if you go a little further south, you will arrive at the lair of the Fuyu Sect." ”
"Yes!" Qiu Cicada nodded.
"Alas, you don't have to think too much, since you have decided to leave the Fuyu Sect, then you have to completely let go of your burdens, don't look ahead and look backwards, and don't be affected by it, understand?"
After listening to Chi Zhongtian's words, Qiu Chan couldn't figure out whether Chi Zhongtian was angry or not, and he didn't dare to say much at the moment, just nodded in agreement.
"Well, in this place, you have to be careful, in Lijiang City, it's not so peaceful. After Chi Zhongtian muttered casually, he buried his head in eating.
After the two of them had eaten, Chi Zhongtian did not leave the restaurant, but instructed Qiu Cicada to go outside to do something.
Soon, in less than half an hour, the autumn cicadas rushed back.
"Found it?" Chi Zhongtian asked, raising his eyebrows.
"I found it, and there is an inn not far from here, called Shunxing Inn. Autumn Cicada replied.
"Okay, then let's go there!" After finishing speaking, Chi Zhongtian called the shopkeeper to calculate the accounts, and after settling the accounts, Chi Zhongtian not only sighed, the things here are really cheap, even the food and drink, it is only a dozen yuan.
