Chapter Nine Hundred and Seventieth Sui Sui Nian
The sheriff is a man in his forties. He has a bit of a book, but it may be because he has been immersed in the officialdom for too long. Said: "Zhang Yang, the magistrate of Yanmen County, led a county official to visit the prince!"
"..."
I'm not used to it, to be more specific, I'm very not used to being called that, but I bravely raised my hand and said, "My lords, you don't need to be formal, get up!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Yang and the others got up.
Zhang Lingyue stood beside me, as if he was assisting with official affairs, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, what is the matter with leading so many officials to the barracks to meet our Lord Commander this time?"
Zhang Yang hesitated for a while, but finally said in a deep voice: "Yanmen County is the fiefdom of the Junhou, and we are officials under the Junhou's rule, so we should take the initiative to pay a visit to the Junhou."
"Having said that."
I glanced at him and said: "But as a frontier army, the Liuhuo Legion is in a different situation. After this time, there is no need to visit again, and normal correspondence is fine. After all, there is no stability outside the Yanmen Pass. Maybe when the Strange Demon Legion I just called, and we won’t have time to take care of your local officials by then.”
"yes!"
Zhang Yang said: "But Yanmen County is a large county after all, with a rich population and a large area of arable land, so I didn't come in vain this time. I brought some supplies from the county and the city to give to the adults, hoping to serve the Liuhuo Legion. Contribute one or two."
"oh?"
Zhang Lingyue smiled: "What did you bring?"
Zhang Yang turned to an official on the left, who seemed to be in charge of the account books, immediately took out a scroll from his long sleeve with trembling hands, unfolded it and said: "This time, we have raised a total of 800,000 gold, 23,000 sheep, 9,500 cows, 700 war horses, 30,000 stone grain and grass, and 3,000 young and strong men and 1,000 young women. Young and strong can serve as a source of soldiers, and they are all very willing to become members of the Flowing Fire Legion , Women can stay as servants, sewing, mending, washing and cooking are always available."
I was startled.
"grown ups?"
Zhang Lingyue asked with his eyes.
I stood up slowly, and said, "Three thousand young men are left here. We are just short of soldiers. Let's bring back all one thousand women. My soldiers can mend laundry by themselves, so we don't need their help, Zhang Yang."
"Yes, my lord!"
When I called his name, the county parent officer fell to his knees in fright again.
I looked at him contemptuously, and said with a smile: "To be honest, along the way, the local officials I have met are not many good officials. They are all fish and meat people, corpses and vegetarian meals. Before you came, I was thinking about me." Will the officials in the fief be better off? This time, if you only send gold, silver and women, I will definitely give you fifty army sticks each, and even directly execute your army, but you not only send They brought gold and silver, cattle and sheep, war horses, grain and other supplies, as well as sources of soldiers, so..."
I slowly walked to the front of the handsome case, imitating the appearance of being indifferent, and gave them a relatively standard salute, with my waist lowered, and said: "So this time I want to thank you, these supplies are all The thing that the Liuhuo Legion is most in short supply, I hope you can treat the people well after you go back, and govern the state and county more diligently. This way, I will be more relieved. Don't worry, you can let go of the governance. I, the Marquis of Beiliang, will not interfere in the local area of."
"yes!"
Zhang Yang trembled all over, his eyes full of gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Lord!"
A group of people bowed down again.
I nodded and smiled: "Zhang Lingyue, take the adults down, count all kinds of supplies, and put them all into the material library of the Flowing Fire Legion. In addition, let the adults rest in the barracks today, leave tomorrow, and bring them tonight Watching our martial arts confrontation at night will also let the adults feel the style of the military camp."
Zhang Yang and others nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, sir!"
...
late at night.
Yanmen is closed, I have nothing to do, and the construction tasks in Chaoge City are actually not bad for me, and if I have done the tasks in the past, the rewards I got are actually quite ordinary, it is better to stay at Yanmen Pass, as long as I am here, It can trigger some petitions similar to "Visit by county officials", and then you can get a very rich merit and experience value, which is much better than the task of clearing the territory.
The night wind pierced through his bones, blowing on his body like a knife.
"Snowing!"
I don't know who yelled, but all the soldiers held up torches and cheered.
In the air, snowflakes fluttered, not big, only the size of a fingernail, and it fell on my body, icy cold, and I was sitting on the edge of the city wall, holding the battlements with one hand, bored.
It is also snowing at Yanmen Pass.
Beiliang Province is located in the north, and snow is very common. I don’t know when the first snow will come to Suzhou this year. I remember that it will fall in the past few years, but it will be small. The climate in the south is like this, especially in Suzhou. In this kind of city in the south of the Yangtze River, it is too difficult to have a heavy snowfall. If you can see snowflakes every year, you should be content.
But what about the white bird?
My heart suddenly moved, and I looked up at the night sky. Although I couldn't see very far, I thought of that very special puppet in my heart. Shiratori is special everywhere. She is completely different from Orange Ye. Compared with Orange Ye , Shiratori is more like a living girl with her own personality, while Orange Night just obeys orders.
Looking into the distance, is that the direction for Shiratori to practice?
She said she wanted to find her true self, but did she really know who she was?
Not necessarily, her identity is too mysterious. I am afraid that even Master Lin Fengnian does not know what Shiratori is from. Also, the last time Shiratori secretly threatened Master Lin, this scene is printed in my mind I can't get rid of it, and I still remember Shiratori's expression at that time, domineering, and a little mischievous, such a girl's heart.
"Don't let anything happen..."
I exhaled a mouthful of white mist, and couldn't help frowning. I don't know why, but at this moment, I started to worry about Shiratori.
...
"Shua!"
A snow-white figure descended from the sky, sitting beside me so prettyly. The white clothes were more than snow, and an extremely profound sword intent was hidden in the delicate body, without showing any sharpness.
"who?!"
A group of defenders of the Flowing Fire Legion drew out their sharp swords one after another.
"It's okay, back off!"
I waved my hand and said with a smile, "It's my senior sister!"
"Yes, it turned out to be Lord Yunyue..."
Everyone confessed their crimes and retreated, and some even evacuated the city directly. Everyone knew that with Jing Yunyue alone, Yanmen Pass was more secure than a first-class army.
"What's the matter? Are you worried?" Senior Sister Yun tilted her head and asked with a smile.
"It's okay, nothing serious."
I smiled slightly, turned around to look at Senior Sister Yun, and said, "Why is Senior Sister so free, come to our Yanmen Pass?"
She smiled: "There are too many official duties, and I got tired of watching, so I came out to take a breath, and felt your breath was at Yanmen Pass, so I flew over to take a look at you."
As she said that, she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Not bad, it's only been a while, and you've already entered the middle stage of immortality."
"Already in the middle of the eternal life?"
I am stunned.
"Um."
"I didn't feel it myself." I was a little resentful, but I was thinking in my heart, most of it was the practice on the Great Wall of Sword Dao, that honing, plus the acquisition of the power of mountains and seas, and the transformation of swordsmanship in reality, This made my realm in the game improve along with it, and I just stepped into the middle stage of immortality without making a sound.
What is the concept of the middle stage of immortality?
I thought about it, probably already stronger than the three Dukes of Zhenyang, Fuyu, and Juding, and a little bit worse than Feng Xiang. To be regarded as the best among the human race, the Immortal Realm is perfect, and there is only one step away from breaking the realm to the quasi-God Realm, but it is this step that he has not been able to take for many years.
If you can take this step, you will reach the sky with one step, and you will gain strength comparable to your senior sister. If you can't take this step, you will have to stay in the immortal realm for the rest of your life.
...
"Senior Sister."
"Um?"
She glanced at me sideways, actually admiring the flying snow in the sky.
I said to myself: "I feel that I am thinking about too many things now, so that it affects my state of mind. On the one hand, I am concerned about too many Legions of Flowing Fire, and I am worried about what will happen in the legion, and I am also worried The legion will suddenly launch an attack and send elite forces to hit Yanmen Pass. At that time, the Liuhuo Legion will definitely be defeated. I am also worried that Chaoge City will not be able to defend it. At that time, everyone's hard work for many days will be in vain. In addition, Xiaoqian is still indifferent to A Fei. Hot, I'm worried that A Fei will be overwhelmed by jumping off a building or something. Also, Shiratori said she wants to go out to practice, but she hasn't shown up for a long time, so I'm a little worried about her. Also, although Longyu is very calm now, But I am worried that Lin Hai will have some kind of conspiracy, and he is planning to target the senior sister, and it is always bad for the senior sister to be in the open."
She listened to my thoughts and just nodded with a smile.
I frowned, looked up and felt the snow falling on my face, and said: "In reality, I am worried that the guide will have some way to directly intervene in reality, and I am afraid that there will be a third form of strange things in the Transcendent Plan I may not be able to suppress it with my strength at that time, I am afraid that many people will be killed, I am worried that I will lose my father, my sister, and I am also afraid that I will lose Lin Xiaoxi, Shen Mingxuan, Ruyi and other close people around me, but Senior sister, I can't do anything, an extraordinary plan is enough to make me go around, and I still haven't figured out what the guide is going to do, let alone how to save Li Xiaoyao, Fang Geque, and Lao Han."
Jing Yunyue looked at me with a smile, but didn't speak.
I also looked at her: "Senior sister, do you know that you are real? And do you know that you are here... in my place, you don't really exist. What I see may be just a strand of your spiritual power .”
She smiled and said, "I know."
