In the past, the carriages and horses were very slow and the roads were very long. It took many hardships to deliver a message successfully. But before this wind of victory swept through the entire North Town, several travelers had already driven their horses to Six Towns.
Outside Wuchuan Town, the center of the coalition forces, they looked dusty, their brows and hair were stained with dust, their bodies were haggard and thin, and their expressions were tense and serious.
When others saw this, they all thought they were prairie thieves coming to rest in the town, and fearing to avoid them, they deliberately stayed away from each other, hiding behind their backs and pointing.
But when they saw the three travelers entering the small market outside the town, they jumped off their horses and walked gracefully to various vendors to buy cheap and affordable supplies. They led the horses and walked around, and soon arrived at the city gate.
The front line was inspected by the defenders.
One of the young swordsmen calmly took out an opened letter, led his horse and passed all the people in front who were waiting for interrogation, and came directly to the guarding officer. Without being angry, he said: "I
At the invitation of Major General He Ba, I came to Wuchuan Town to pay a visit."
"What?" The city guarding officer took the letter and looked at it in disbelief, and exclaimed: "It's...it's really the major general's seal!"
"Please, sir, please allow me and the other three to go into the city to rest first." The young swordsman politely handed over and let his companions behind him go first, while he was the last to enter the city.
The rest of the people who were still waiting in line for interrogation immediately started making noises and complaining about the injustice.
"I've been here for an hour, and that guy just came. Why is he in front of me?"
"My meat will stink if it is left to dry out in the sun!"
"Master, my son, he has been suffering from cold for several days. Please be accommodating and let us, mother and son, go to the city first to find a doctor!"
Seeing that the people's grievances were difficult to quell, the officers guarding the city could only speak in official terms, saying: "The war is urgent these days, and we are only doing things impartially to prevent any spies from sneaking into the city. Please bear with me."
Having said that, he followed the three travelers impatiently, working extremely diligently, leaving all the matters of appeasing the people to his subordinates, while he took the opportunity to curry favor with the visiting nobles under the pretext of official duties.
"This young man, may I ask your name?" The city guard officer lowered his head eagerly and said with a flattering smile: "When you first arrived in Wuchuan, if you have any needs or important matters, just come to me."
"My Majesty, Bai Feng. I just want to find a place to rest now. No need to bother you, sir." Bai Feng led the horse and walked behind the two companions. His eyes looked around from time to time in case someone was following him. Suddenly, he stopped where he was, as if
I recalled hearing the complaints from the people before entering the city, so I turned to the officer guarding the city and said, "I have something to trouble you, sir. The mother whose child is suffering from the cold, can you be tolerant and allow her mother and son to enter the city?"
?"
The city guarding officer accepted the commission and was so happy that he seemed to have foreseen the future when he would be promoted to the third level. He replied: "Young Master Bai is really kind-hearted and kind-hearted! I will handle it for you, I promise."
Don’t delay the child’s condition!”
After finishing speaking, the slightly noisy city guard officer finally left Bai Feng's side. The young swordsman also breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Just a letter from the major general can make people who have never met him...
When people are so groveling, is this power?"
"Brother Feng, what were you talking about just now?" Murong Yan and Jingji stood at the intersection in front of them. They were about to turn the corner and leave, but they found that Bai Feng had already fallen some distance behind them: "Why do you hear someone complimenting you on your house for no reason?
Are you kind-hearted?"
Bai Feng took two quick steps to catch up, and responded: "You are walking in a hurry, there is a mother and son outside the city gate who are in urgent need of a doctor, so I asked the official brother to bring them in first."
After hearing this, Murong Yan and Jingjia nodded in agreement. The three of them walked through the corner and continued to look for a resting place.
"On the day I was whipped by He Ba Yu'er, if Yan'er hadn't read a few paragraphs in my ear of the letter from He Ba Yu'er asking for merit, I'm afraid I would have torn up the letter in anger.
It would not be as easy to enter the city as it is today."
Bai Feng and Ji Ji walked side by side, explaining to him the whole story of the letter. At the same time, the two of them looked after Murong Yan who was walking at the front looking for the inn.
"Senior brother, you are indeed a capable man. If it were me, I would not be able to survive long in the hands of that female devil." Jingjia was full of admiration, and he treated Bai Feng with even greater admiration.
"A small impatience will mess up a big plan. If you should cut off, you should cut off. If you should be clear, you should be clear... There are many things heard from hearsay that may seem to give you insights or inspiration, but if you have never experienced it, it will definitely have little effect." Bai Bai
Feng stroked the scar at the corner of his mouth, looking a little lonely, and continued: "I want you to follow me around Beizhen, so that you can truly become a talented person. If I am no longer here, you will be the master of Yuyi Academy."
Jingjia was flattered and pondered for a long time: "This...I, I, I'm afraid...can't take on such a big responsibility."
"Haha." Bai Feng snickered, then hugged each other's shoulders like a brother and said, "Forget it, it's not that time yet, hahaha..."
After a while, they entered a certain inn and settled down. The three of them gathered together in the same room and had a warm and hearty meal for the first time in a long time. When they were about to pay the bill, the shopkeeper said that someone had paid the bill for them first. After a long conversation,
, the city guard officer who had been so attentive all the way just now suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Bai, you are such a noble person who forgets things!" said the city guard officer: "Did you forget that Major General He Ba is on the front line on an expedition and has no time to receive guests?"
Bai Feng pretended to be ignorant and said: "I am really ignorant about this matter. I have been driving on the grassland for several days and nights, and it was very peaceful along the way!"
"In short, before Major General He Ba comes back, your food and lodging will be all covered by the official... Come, please bring more food and drinks, and don't neglect the guests!" After the city guard officer finished speaking, he said privately without any grudges.
Add another table with bowls and chopsticks, and eat in the same room with Bai Feng and the others.
Bai Feng and others originally wanted to take this opportunity to discuss the internal affairs of the Zhao family in Wuchuan Town, but who knew that an officer from Wuchuan Town was actually here at this time. The three outsiders naturally felt very constrained and embarrassed, and could not eat.
pharynx.
"Hey, why don't you eat?" The city guarding officer blinked his little eyes, patted his head, and immediately stood up as if he had figured out what was going on and respectfully said to the three of them: "I actually forgot to show my respect to you all.
Introduced, I, Yan Dahan, was born and raised in Wuchuan Town. If I have neglected the three of you, please give me some advice. If the three of you are satisfied and meet the Major General, you might as well find an opportunity... to say a nice word for me.
.”
Bai Feng also stood up and retorted: "Master Yan, you are too polite. We all have a low life and cannot bear such a great gift! As for the matter with the young general, we will definitely put in a good word for you.
"
"Oh, that's great!" Yan Dahan said, "Then, I wonder if the other two of you have anything else to ask for."
Murong Yan slowly stood up and bowed again, saying: "Master Yan, we have been tired from the journey and it's time to rest. If it disturbs your interest, please forgive the little girl for not greeting me well... Ah Jing, help me go back to the house to rest."
"After saying that, Jiji immediately held onto Murong Yan's sleeves and left with an excuse.
"Mr. Bai, is that your lady?" Yan Dahan asked, "I've seen a lot of people like you dragging your family here to seek refuge with you these days."
"Ha... Master Yan, today I have been able to cleanse myself from the wind and dust. If I gain the appreciation of the Major General in the future, I will definitely not forget to support you."
