Xingqing City was officially renamed Dingxi City, and the name at the city gate has been changed.
Donna arrived outside the city with 50,000 elite soldiers, and Baili Bing, the official minister, came out to greet her.
"General Tang, you have worked hard all the way."
"Congratulations to General Zhu and General Hu."
Hu Jie and Zhu Yong followed them back to Dingxi City, both of them were very happy.
They were very worried that Long Chen would keep the two of them in the capital, or transfer them to other places, leaving them empty.
Back in Dingxi City, the two of them had soldiers and horses and real power.
This is the empress' trust in them and Long Chen's trust in them.
"Thank you, Lord Shangshu."
The two of them immediately dismounted, and Donna also dismounted and said with a smile, "I'm here, and you can go back to Beijing."
After Long Chen left, Baili Bing still had to arrange for officials to stay in Dingxicheng.
After working hard for almost a month, the arrangements were finally made, and Baili Bing could go back just waiting for Donna to come over.
"The drought in Dingxi County is no better than that of the capital. General Tang will have to work hard."
Baili Bing has been here for more than a month, and I feel really unaccustomed to it.
Xixia is too dry. It is now late autumn, and the northwest wind blows on her face like a knife. Her face and lips are dry and cracked, and the backs of her hands are also cracked.
The bitter cold in Xixia is not an empty talk.
"For those of us who serve in the army, we say it's hard work."
"Besides, King Wu had already known that Xixia was dry and specially prepared balsam for us."
Donna pointed to the items on the dozen or so carriages behind her, which were the skin care oils prepared by Long Chen.
Baili Bing smiled and said: "King Wu is good to the female generals, and he has already thought of this for General Tang."
Donna smiled and said, "Don't make fun of me. How old am I? We have all been influenced by Carrie."
Dugu Jiali was originally a subordinate of Donna, but Long Chen took Dugu Jiali over and became Long Chen's woman.
Donna followed suit, and Long Chen took care of Donna when distributing supplies.
Baili Bing smiled and said: "I'm so envious. I can get some glory anytime."
Donna joked: "My daughter is of marriageable age."
Baili Bing smiled and scolded: "You deserve a beating for what you said. The princess is about to get married, and you still say this."
Donna said: "Did you know that the third princess is also going to marry King Wu?"
Baili Bing said in surprise: "No way, isn't it the fourth princess? Why is the third princess also getting married?"
Donna said with joy: "Oh, you don't know, let me tell you."
The two women started gossiping and walked inside while talking.
When the army entered the city, an old man slowly entered Dingxi City. This man was Jian Chen.
Entering the city, the houses destroyed by the war were being repaired.
The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the people worked together to make repairs before the heavy snow came.
The street returned to its usual bustle, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the war that had just ended.
The change of dynasty doesn't seem to have any impact on them. As long as they have food, drink and a house to live in, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor.
Jian Chen walked to a pawn shop, took out a jade pendant from his arms, put it on the counter, and said, "This is an ancestral jade pendant, how much can it be pawned for?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Jian Chen, picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and said: "This jade pendant of yours is a bit fake, I have to ask the owner."
After saying that, the shopkeeper took the jade pendant and left the counter.
After a while, the shopkeeper came over and said: "Your old jade pendant is valuable, and the boss wants to discuss it with you."
The side door of the pawn shop opened, and the shopkeeper walked in facing Jian Chen until he reached the yard.
Walking to a room, the shopkeeper said: "The boss is inside, please come."
After saying that, the shopkeeper went back to the front counter to do some work.
Jian Chen slowly opened the door and walked in carefully.
There was an earthen kang inside, and an old man as skinny as pine was sitting on the kang, holding a dry pipe in his hand. The fire in the pipe flickered on and off, white smoke spurted out from his nose, and the room was filled with the smell of smoke.
"Sit down."
Gan Xin squinted his eyes slightly, looking like he was smoked.
Jian Chen sat down next to Gan Xin. Gan Xin took the last puff of his cigarette and asked, "I've never seen you before."
Jian Chen is the wind-watching messenger of Wanjin Tower. Everyone knows about his existence, but no one knows him.
Because everyone who saw him died.
Jian Chen chuckled and said, "Have you met all the brothers in the building?"
Gan Xin thinks so. It is normal for people in Wanjin Tower not to meet or contact each other, and not to know each other.
"Why did the host send you here?"
Gan Xin pushed the jade pendant on the table over, which was a token given by Shen Wanjin.
Jian Chen stretched out his hand to get the jade pendant and said: "The poster asked me to come over and cooperate with you to do a business deal."
Gan Xing asked: "What?"
When Jian Chen reached for the jade pendant, several poisonous needles suddenly shot out from his sleeves. Gan Xin was shocked and immediately turned to avoid, but the distance between the two was too close, and the poisonous needles hit Gan Xin's shoulder.
"Who are you!"
Gan Xin kicked over the low table and pulled out the poisonous needle. Jian Chen ignored it at all and bullied himself to kill him, with a dagger in his hand.
Gan Xin grabbed the wine gourd at his waist, took a sip of wine, and sprayed it at Jian Chen. The flames from the tobacco pole ignited the wine mist, and a ball of fire exploded.
Jian Chen was already on guard. With a flick of his sleeve, the fireball was swept away, and the dagger pierced Gan Xin's right chest.
Shen Wanjin gave all of Gan Xin's information to Jian Chen, and Gan Xin's special skills and habits were already known.
Gan Xin groaned, grabbed the dagger with his left hand, and yelled suddenly at Jian Chen.
roar!
The huge roar shook Jian Chen's face and trembled. Gan Xin took the opportunity to swing the tobacco pole and stabbed hard into Jian Chen's collarbone.
Jian Chen pulled away and retreated. Gan Xin did not bother and immediately ran away through the door.
Jian Chen quickly chased after him, but Gan Xin had disappeared without a trace.
Shen Wanjin said that Gan Xin might have practiced the Mad Lion Technique and asked him to be careful, but Shen Wanjin did not say that Gan Xin knew the Lion Roaring Technique.
With just one small mistake, Gan Xin escaped.
"Master!"
Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper rushed in with people, only to see Jian Chen standing at the door.
"Who are you!"
The shopkeeper immediately led people to surround Jian Chen, with the old horseman and Sand Scorpion among them.
Jian Chen took out a token from his body with two words written on it: Lucky!
Jian Chen said coldly: "Gan Xin betrayed Wanjin Tower, and the owner ordered me to take over Xixia Hall!"
No one dares to fake the fortune order, and no one doubts it.
Was it just Gan Xin who betrayed Wanjinlou? They couldn't figure it out.
For these people, Shen Wanjin thought about killing them all.
But Wanjin Tower is short of people, so if they are killed, Shen Wanjin will have no one available.
Moreover, this matter should have nothing to do with them, so Shen Wanjin kept it in check.
"Meet the Hall Master!"
Sand Scorpion and the others immediately paid their respects.
They are Wanjinlou's assassins, not Gan Xin's subordinates. Gan Xin's betrayal has nothing to do with them.
Jian Chen glanced at it coldly, turned around and went back to the room to heal his wounds.
The mission to eliminate rape failed, Jian Chen needs to figure out how to explain to Shen Wanjin
Dazhou, the capital.
At dusk, a carriage slowly stopped at the door of a private house on the edge of Quan Lake.
The gate opened, the carriage slowly drove into the yard, and the yard gate slowly closed.
Long Chen walked out of the carriage, followed by a woman with plum blossoms on her eyebrows, who was Xiu Niang.
"Come."
Long Chen helped Xiu Niang get out of the car.
The embroiderer looked around, looked at the house carefully, and said, "Is it right here?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Yes, come with me."
Holding Xiu Niang's hand, the two entered a bedroom with all kinds of luxurious furniture, especially a large round bed, a long pillow, and a round mattress, enough for four people to sleep together.
