"Good morning, Director Ding! My brothers and I feel sorry for having you personally take action today." Wan Ban and Wan Yu met Ding Cai in front of the Urban Management Bureau, and Wan Ban said hello first.
"Brother Cai is feeling very refreshed today, but what happened to him?" Wan Yu and Ding Cai know each other well and they usually like to joke.
"You two brothers did not disappoint me. Don't forget to come early in the morning to arrange today's actions. From now on, the Urban Management Bureau can rest assured to leave it to you." Ding Cai looked carefree and looked like a leader.
"Of course there are happy events. If the master is happy, it will be my happy event!" He never forgot to show his loyalty to Ding Kui.
Click, click, click, and a knight galloped towards him, attracting the attention of the chief and deputy directors of the Urban Management Bureau.
The knight is wearing a bright red military uniform. He can only be the private army of Giant Sheep City. Looking at the round helmet on his head, you can tell that he is a member of the city defense army.
He came to the door of the Urban Management Bureau, jumped off his horse, ran over, saluted the three directors, and said, "Commander Xue ordered me to come here and asked the Urban Management Bureau to send people to the west gate to guide the people."
"So early?" Ding Cai asked in surprise.
"Yes, there are already a large number of people blocking the west gate." The city defense army replied.
"I'll go!" Wan Yu said, "Ordinary people want to grab a good seat and must go out early. You must know that today is a grand event for the whole city to participate in. If you go out late, you may not even have a place to stand."
When Ban Ban saw Ding Cai nodding, he said to his brother: "Please, dear brother, I will leave the first and second squadrons to you."
The current official establishment of the Urban Management Bureau has one brigade, that is, ten squadrons, with a thousand urban management personnel.
The west gate has been blocked, and the city defense army guards on both sides of the inner city gate are so crowded that they can't stand still. Some helmets have flown away, some shirts have been ripped open, and some have bruises at the corners of their eyes.
He was bruised and he didn't know who had punched him.
There were about 3,000 people waiting to leave the city. Four or five people passed through the narrow city gate at a time. One person jumped in line, and a swarm of people came from behind. The order of leaving the city was completely disrupted.
"Take your time, don't be crowded! It's still early! Hey! That man in blue, be careful of the mother-in-law in front of you."
The person lying on the tower shouting was Jiang Jiao. He had to retire due to the recurrence of his old injury. Seeing that Ding Kui had become the lord of Juyang City, he simply stayed and asked to be the assistant to his old superior Xue Chong. He is now the deputy commander of the city defense army.
The main reason is that today is a day for public exercises. The city lord encourages everyone to go out of the city to watch. The city gate guards cannot use violence against the enthusiastic people. If they are not careful, they will cause a big congestion.
The sound of neat footsteps came from the distance. Jiang Jiao looked up and said, "Ah ha, the city management is here."
Wan Yu led two hundred urban management team members into two columns and trotted straight to the west gate.
"The first column goes to the left, the second column goes to the right, join hands to form a human wall, and drive everyone into the street." Wan Yu read out the flag of Jiangjiao.
"Guards below, listen up. People who have lined up on Xiwaizhi Street have priority. Anyone coming from other places will be stopped and can only leave the city at the end!" Jiang Jiao saw the urban management wall built and immediately ordered the guards to guide the flow of people.
.
The people who were rushing out of the city so early were ordinary people, and they felt a little frightened when they saw people in uniforms. The urban management team cooperated with the city gate guards and finally restored order at the west gate.
A gorgeous carriage stopped at the entrance of Yue Kee Teahouse. "Get in the carriage. Let's go around the south gate and go out of the city. We will definitely have to queue for a long time to go to the west gate now." Mingjie invited Widow Hu to ride in the carriage.
"Boss Ming is very particular, so I'll take advantage of it." Widow Hu couldn't hide the envy in her eyes.
Her herbal medicine shop can make some money, but she can't afford something as high-end as a carriage.
The flags of the military camp in the city were already flying, and all members of the first brigade were ready to go. Feng Liang was neatly dressed and came to the front of the queue holding a tiger-faced fanged helmet.
"Are you afraid that you might run into the old captain in today's exercise?" Feng Liang didn't know the specific arrangements for Juyang City.
"Don't be afraid!" the first brigade roared uniformly and loudly.
"Very good, we have to tell the old captain with actions that the first brigade will always be the strongest brigade of the 21st Legion!" Feng Liang raised his fist.
"We are the strongest!" All the cavalrymen beat their chests together on horseback.
"Very good, the main force of the division is coming soon. Let's go meet them and set off!" Feng Liang put on his helmet, patted his horse and walked to the front of the team.
On the western outskirts of Juyang City, the Chinese army built a camp here and leveled a large open space. Today, several areas are marked out with white powder on the ground.
A three-story high platform was erected on the edge of the open space, nearly fifty meters long and more than ten meters wide. There was a "D" flag on the top, so there was no need to ask whether it was the exclusive area of the lord's house.
There is a strip area of several hundred meters on both sides of the high platform. Along the white line on the ground, a city defense military flag is planted every 20 meters, with the words "Please do not cross the line" on the flag.
At this time, many people in the strip area occupied positions near the white line. The flow of people pouring out of the west gate divided into two paths, heading towards the left and right sides of the high platform respectively.
Behind the high platform, hundreds of city defense troops surrounded a square open space. When ordinary people approached, they were invited to the strip area. At this time, a carriage drove from the south and stopped in front of the area guarded by the city defense troops. Widow Hu stepped out of the carriage.
He took out an invitation and handed it to the guarding officer. After checking it, the officer let Widow Hu and the carriage enter the open space.
"Wait in the car. None of the guests have arrived. We were the first ones to arrive." Widow Hu returned to the carriage.
"Okay, you should come early and wait for everyone. By the way, you can tell me how to transplant the fishtail." It turns out that Mingjie purchased the fishtail from the Huguo Herbal Medicine Store.
Widow Hu became more energetic and began to explain in detail: "Okay, so it's like this. First of all, the vessel to hold the fish tail tank is very important. The clay pot is definitely uncertain..."
As the sun rose above the treetops, a large number of recruits wearing red training uniforms arrived outside the west gate. They first isolated the people from the exercise venue, and then divided into seven or eight teams to patrol the crowd to prevent crowding, stampedes and violence.
.
Woo hoo hoo, a short horn sounded.
Jiang Jiao, who was on the west gate tower, identified the direction of the sound and immediately waved the command flag. The city defense troops and city management officials began to push aside the people lining up in front of the city gate.
Not long after, a small group of cavalry ran into Xiwaizhi Street. The leader shouted: "The princess's carriage will be here soon. Everyone is waiting to give in quickly!"
The cornet just now is one of the etiquettes for the princess to travel. It will not be used under normal circumstances. It will only be played when it is known that the road ahead is blocked.
No one in Juyang City didn't know that the princess was the mistress of the territory. No one dared or would compete with the mistress. All the people queuing up to leave the city consciously stepped aside.
"Is the princess usually so powerful?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Are you a stranger or a foreigner?" Someone immediately questioned, "That is the princess, the biological sister of the current king, do you know? It is a great grace that I didn't let you climb down to avoid it. Normally our mistress does not go on official trips.
This makes some people forget her noble status."
"Yes, yes, yes." The person who asked the question quickly exited the crowd.
Someone in the nearby shop is paying attention to all this, Lu Yang from the Security Bureau.
"Follow that man and try not to disturb him." He ordered one of his men, who followed the order and left.
"Sure enough, places with lots of people are the most rewarding." He muttered to himself as he walked out of the shop and squeezed towards the place with the most people.
At a restaurant a street away, diner A asked in a low voice: "Why is Count Ding not with the princess?"
"Don't you know?" Diner B said proudly, "The Earl led a large group of cavalry to the north gate. Today I have opened my eyes. Do you know what kind of horse the Earl is riding?"
"Didn't he often ride a green galloping thunder horse?" Diner A seemed to see Ding Kui all the time.
Ding Kui was worried that someone would catch him riding Ao Yu, so he specially chose a blue horse as his mount.
"The body of a leopard runs on a horse of thunder!" Diner B got excited as soon as he said it, "Have you heard of it? This is the first time I've seen it in my whole life."
"What?" Diner A's voice suddenly rose. Later, he realized that he was a bit out of control, so he lowered his voice and said, "Then you must go and see this exercise. Running like a leopard and a thundering horse is worth sweating. Why don't you go out of the city?"
"Hey, I asked my cousin to find a connection and send a few carts of fodder to the place where the carriage is parked. I can watch it from under the high platform." Diner B looked at the envious eyes of the diners and wanted to raise his head to the sky.
At the Chunlu River crossing, Feng Liang welcomed Zhang Jie, who was leading a large force across the river.
"My subordinates pay their respects to Mr. Zhang!"
"No need to come here to pick us up. It's a waste of horsepower." Zhang Jie brought four brigades here today, and together with the first brigade, half of the division came.
Gu Jun pulled half of the army to Zhongwangzhou, and the remaining divisions doubled their defense area. The 201st Division could not all pull over to Juyang City.
"It doesn't matter, this distance is just enough to warm up." Feng Liang said with a smile.
"Huh?" Zhang Jie suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the avenue.
The dust rising in the distance was obviously caused by a group of fast running horses.
"Besides you, Ding Kui is the only one in Juyang City who can afford a large group of cavalry, right?" Zhang Jie could see that the cavalry was marching.
"Haha, your Excellency is right, it should be City Lord Ding who is here to greet you." Feng Liang guessed that it was also Ding Kui.
When the figure appeared on the horizon, the first thing to be seen clearly was the horned python flag of the Protector's family.
"Hahaha, long time no see, Mr. Zhang! Ding Kui from my old department is here to meet you, Mr. Zhang!" Ding Kui rolled off his saddle and dismounted before he could reach Zhang Jie.
"You don't miss me, but you want to challenge me." Zhang Jie held Ding Kui up and prevented him from kneeling down.
"If so, I hope you can provide guidance and let those ignorant young men see the regular army." Ding Kui hugged Zhang Jie and his old comrades.
"That's not what you said last time I came here." Liang Chong immediately broke the news.
"Counsel Liang is not honest. If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't be able to leave Juyang City." Ding Kui punched Liang Chong in the chest.
"I said you can do it. These cavalry are not inferior to the Blade Knights, right?" Zhang Jie's eyes wandered among the people brought by Ding Kui.
