Dantu, after two months of repairs, was rebuilt on the ruins. Although it was impossible to return to the glory of the third-level county in two months, due to the special geographical location and Qintian's large amount of resources
, the investment of funds has restored some vitality.
Most of the NPCs here are Yellow Turban refugees brought over from Qingzhou. The people of Wu County who are used to living a comfortable life. Although they do not want to leave their homeland, Dan Tu was burned to ruins by a fire. Rebuilding their home is not an easy task.
Many people accepted Qin Tian's arrangement and flocked to Qingtian City or Wu County.
Therefore, Dantu has become a city with the highest proportion of Yellow Turbans. Although traces of war still remain in many places, the entire city only has a county government office, a market, and some private houses and city foundations built in the center.
There was no time to build civilian facilities or even military barracks.
However, for the Yellow Turban refugees who used to live a precarious life, sleeping in the open air, this place is no different from paradise. The kind of life where they work at sunrise and rest at sunset without having to worry about war. With the protection of towering city walls, these Yellow Turbans
The refugees enjoyed it very much. Although the whole city was dilapidated, it had a feeling of prosperity.
When the first rays of the morning sun broke through the rolling hills, the people who had settled down in life began to carry farm tools in groups and walk out of the city. Some, under the command of the government, began to build various buildings.
, the entire city, although not prosperous, was still in full swing.
A lonely figure leaned under an ancient tree, looking at this dilapidated but vibrant city from a distance, raising his head in meditation.
Occasionally, passers-by take a curious look here. If someone gets closer and takes a closer look, they will definitely find that this lonely figure is actually a beautiful woman who looks like she was carved out of a gongbi painting. She is dressed in a black outfit.
There is a heroic spirit, but there seems to be something inexplicable. No matter who looks here, they will have a hazy feeling.
"Holy girl, are we entering the city?" A man who looked like an iron tower strode up behind the woman, bowed slightly, with a look of respect on his face. That kind of respect was by no means perfunctory, but came from the heart.
That kind of.
"General Zhou, there is no Taiping Road now. From now on, you can just call me Ning'er. There is no need to call me a saint!" The woman sighed quietly, her voice was soft, but there was no pretense at all.
"There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, how can this be done!" The iron-tower-like man shook his head like a rattle, resolutely refusing.
Zhang Ning sighed helplessly and said: "No matter what, the title of Saint has disappeared since the Beihai War. You must remember this. It is rare for my people of Taiping Dao to be taken in. Guan Hai, Liao Hua
It is rare for these generals to have this career, if you continue to use this banner, do you want to destroy them?"
"Huh! They're just a bunch of traitors!" When Guan Hai and others were mentioned, a look of ferocity appeared on the face of the iron-tower-like man. Apparently, he felt quite displeased with Guan Hai for bringing the people of Taiping Road in Qingzhou here without authorization and taking advantage of Qin Tian in vain.
dissatisfied.
Shaking his head, Zhang Ning said with a peaceful smile on his face: "Taipingdao has been exhausted since my father and two uncles left. I don't take these things too seriously. If I hadn't taken care of the general, would you have to look at these things?"
Will all the people starve to death?"
Thinking of the time in Qingzhou, Taiping Road was like a rat crossing the street, being chased by the princes, without food and clothing, a look of sadness appeared on the face of the iron-tower-like man, just to make him forgive Guan Hai and others for their 'betrayal' behavior, but it would be impossible
It can't be done.
"Holy girl, the city gate has been opened, let's go in!" A big man hurriedly came to the two of them. Although he was not as majestic as the iron tower-like man before, he still had a strong aura and a pair of tigers all over his body.
As his eyes flickered, there was a faint air of anger that could not be resolved.
"Let's go, please don't. Just call me miss when you enter the city." Zhang Ning nodded, and then ordered. She knew that it would be difficult for them to forget their dignity now, so she had to retreat and settle for the next best thing.
"Yes, miss!" The two of them did not disobey this time and bowed.
A group of three people found a carriage from nowhere. Zhang Ning sat in it, and a tower-like man on horseback escorted him aside. The other man was responsible for driving the carriage and slowly walked towards Dantu.
On the Dantu city wall, there are still many traces left by the war that have not been repaired. On the city wall, Liao Hua scanned the flow of people coming and going under the city gate with his sharp eyes, not letting go of any suspicious figure.
Here, not only do we have to protect this city, but more importantly, we also have to protect our 'mistress'...
The current county magistrate of Dantu City is none other than Luo Yun. Originally, even as a player, a woman serving as the county magistrate of a historic city would cause dissatisfaction among many people. However, the situation in Dantu City is somewhat special.
Because the people of this city are basically Yellow Turban immigrants, the Taiping Road was able to survive in Qingzhou for several years. Although it was due to the role of Guan Hai and other powerful generals, it was also inseparable from the saint Zhang Ning.
central control, so they don’t have much resistance to women taking charge.
As a famous Yellow Turban general, Liao Hua initially entrusted this city, which was almost full of Yellow Turban immigrants, to his old Yellow Turban general because of his status and because of Qin Tian's regard. Even the governor who was the first to defect to Qin Tian
Hai did not have this honor, which made Liao Hua burst into tears of gratitude. Therefore, he maintained respect for Luo Yun.
However, with the development of the past two months, Liao Hua's respect for Luo Yun has turned from Qin Tian's kindness at the beginning into true respect from the heart. He has seen what Luo Yun has done in the past two months.
, the prosperity of this city today is absolutely inseparable from Luo Yun. On the contrary, he, a former Yellow Turban general, did not contribute much except patrolling, which made Liao Hua respect him and also develop a sense of responsibility.
I feel ashamed, so I am very dedicated to my job and strive to do my best.
"General, look, that's not..." A soldier suddenly rushed to Liao Hua's side, pointing in the direction not far from the city, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Huh?" Liao Hua frowned slightly, why did he only say half of this?
Looking in the direction pointed by the soldier, his narrowed eyes suddenly widened and he blurted out: "Zhou Cang! Pei Yuanshao!?"
"Hurry, go down to greet us!" Liao Hua's expression changed and he went down almost without thinking. Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao were die-hard members of Taiping Road. Most of them finally chose to defect to Qin Tian when they were hungry and cold.
But only these two people were stubbornly unwilling to go to find the whereabouts of the saint, which made Liao Hua feel a little ashamed. Now that these two people have arrived, wouldn't it be that in the carriage...
Saint Zhang Ning's appeal in Taiping Road is definitely not comparable to that of Guan Hai. There are still a large number of Taiping Road diehards who stubbornly refuse to move to Wu County because Zhang Ning's appeal is too strong.
.
After taking just two steps, Liao Hua suddenly hesitated and turned around to call a junior schoolmaster: "Go to the county office immediately and report to the mistress. She said that the Saint of Taiping Dao is here and asks the mistress to make a decision."
This small school was not a Yellow Turban general, but one sent by Qin Tian to assist Luo Yun. There was inevitably a sense of surveillance in it. As an emperor and a courtier, Liao Hua did not want to be unfavorable to Zhang Ning, but if Zhang Ning came, he would have something else to do.
Figure, he would not allow the hard-won tranquility of these people to be broken.
"Here!" The principal glanced at Liao Hua in surprise. The principal nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
Liao Hua straightened his clothes, came down from the city tower with a few old generals in yellow turbans, and went out to meet Zhang Ning and his party in person.
A few dozen meters away, Zhou Cang had already spotted Liao Hua and his party coming out of the city gate. He immediately dismounted his horse, holding a broadsword and guarding Zhang Ning's carriage. He glared at Liao Hua and his party. He was an infantry general and was not good at fighting on horseback.
, it’s okay to use a war horse for daily walking, but when it comes to fighting, it’s easier to fight on foot.
Liao Hua waved his hand and stopped the actions of the generals behind him. He handed the spear in his hand to a follower beside him, came to the carriage with his bare hands, bowed and said, "May I ask if the saint is here?"
"Liao Yuanlen, what are you doing!?" Zhou Cang took a step forward and pressed towards Liao Hua with a fierce momentum. Among the Yellow Turban Army, apart from Guan Hai, Zhou Cang was considered the most powerful one.
Although Liao Hua was also a famous Yellow Turban general, in terms of force alone, he could not be compared with Zhou Cang, and his face instantly turned red.
"General Zhou, stand down!" Zhang Ning's crisp voice came from behind the carriage door curtain, and Zhou Cang's condensed momentum disappeared in an instant.
All the momentum disappeared, Liao Hua breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said: "Liao Hua pays homage to the saint."
"General Liao Hua, don't be too polite. Now that Taiping Road no longer exists, it's okay not to mention the title of saint. I came here just to visit General Qingtian. I believe General Liao Hua has sent someone to inform you." Zhang Ning Wen Wen.
The way.
"...Yes!" After hesitating for a moment, Liao Hua finally nodded.
"How dare you, thief!" Zhou Cang shouted angrily, raising his knife to fight with Liao Hua. An invisible force suddenly restrained him. Zhou Cang struggled twice, but was unable to break free, so he had no choice but to put away the knife.
, stared at Liao Hua fiercely, wishing to eat him alive.
"It's my duty. I hope the saint will forgive me." Liao Hua bowed slightly and said.
"As the general said, where is the duty, what is the crime? General Liao doesn't need to worry too much. Ning has no other intention in coming to assassinate him. He just wants to look around and meet the Lord of Qingtian City. I hope General Liao will recommend him." Zhang Ning opened it.
Bamboo Curtain, whose face was already covered with a layer of gauze, looked at Liao Hua with a kind of affinity in his eyes.
"Yes." Liao Hua nodded, and then waved to several other generals to get out of the way. At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from the distance, but the people from the Dantu government had already arrived. Luo Yun was there.
Under the protection of a famous military general, he slowly walked this way.
