Chapter 555 I Should Enter the City

When Hu Ma left Laoyin Mountain, the sky was already light.

The Zhumen Town was already bustling now. Three thousand grain-protecting soldiers, plus the shopkeepers of various branches, the leaders of the army, and even the general himself, all came to the town to pay homage to the Red Lantern Goddess.

It can be said that this small temple of Anshen, which covers only a few feet, has never welcomed so many people to kowtow since it was built, and these people's fate and fortune have changed.

This scene really moved the Red Lantern Goddess, and she dared not move at all.

Seeing the general coming to save her and bless her, and seeing the shopkeepers and worshippers outside, and the people with heavy fates in the grain-protecting army coming to kowtow one by one, she really didn't dare to respond, but secretly sent a message to the left protector Shen Hongzhi:

First, you have to settle these people, take care of their food and drink, and don't force them to come and demolish your temple.

Second, the little blood food left in the blood food warehouse, can you bring it over?

They all came to protect the emperor in the middle of the night yesterday. Our little case gods must be sensible, even though they don’t seem to be protecting us.

But the left and right protectors Shen Hongzhi were also very busy. No one expected that the town that was empty yesterday would be crowded in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, the grain protection army was quite disciplined. Most of the troops were stationed outside the town. They only needed to arrange for the leaders and others to live in the town, and take out the stored grain, cattle and sheep in the town to reward these soldiers.

Now seeing Yang Gong again, she was even more worried. She had an impression of this little Hongxiang at the beginning.

But now seeing that his identity has changed so much, she felt uncomfortable when she spoke again. As for what the Red Lantern Lady said, the blood food should be taken out, she agreed, and arranged people to go to the blood food warehouse early in the morning.

But this time, he was shocked again: "My goodness, the remaining blood food is half gone again..."

"I don't know who took advantage of the chaos yesterday, went there at night, knocked out the guards, and pulled out the blood food in carts, but fortunately, the man didn't seem to have any helpers, no animals, and pulled it with a cart..."

"Our people who went there in the morning saw her from a distance. After shouting, she threw the cart and ran away. Her legs and feet didn't seem to be very agile, but she ran very fast..."

"..."

"Could it be another demon from the Truth Church?"

The left protector Shen Hongzhi was so angry: "There's only this much left, and you're still thinking about it?"

However, the remaining blood food is enough. After all, there are nearly a thousand pounds. Yang Gong and the leaders of the grain protection army have never seen so much blood food since they were young.

When all the black ointment, the town's stored grain, cattle, sheep, and horses were sent to the grain protection army, Yang Gong and a group of bumpkins from the mountains were shocked: "Is the Red Lantern Festival so rich?"

"Is this jar full of blood food that is said to be more valuable than gold? Every bite of this stuff is less than a floor of a small building. Two big-butt women, can they still use a big jar to store it?"

"..."

It's not just the Red Lantern Festival. After dawn, it didn't take long to see people from all directions, from various farmers, towns, and even Mingzhou Prefecture who secretly opened the gates of the mansion, bringing things, even a group of soldiers, all came to pay a visit to Zhumen Town.

Speaking of history, they were all scary. They were all nobles in Mingzhou City. They said that they were grateful for the grain protection army and came to help and join the army.

At first glance, the things in the hands of each group of people coming over were scary. On the visiting cards, there were cattle, sheep, horse farms, food and grass, and even weapons and armor. Yang Gong and his group of people who came out of the mountains were so scared that it seemed unreal...

They didn't know that the people in the city had turned around and wanted to bet quickly to avoid being left behind.

I just felt that when I was in the mountains, I couldn't get anything at the beginning, and the weapons were all broken.

How come in just five or six days, it seems that everyone has sent so much?

Let's not talk about other specific things, just the soldiers and horses that have come over, there are dozens here, hundreds there, the bandits on the whole mountain have reformed and come to join the army, and the hundreds of young and strong people in a farm over there are grateful for the kindness and want to come to protect the food...

If this continues, I'm afraid it won't take two or three days to break the number of 10,000 troops directly?

At the same time when all these changes were too fast to keep up with and people were at a loss, someone came from the mountain. It turned out to be Yang Gong's father-in-law, who hurriedly brought a dozen servants to the town.

After bowing to Lady Hongdeng together with Yang Gong, he hurriedly called Yang Gong into the tent and said: "I already know what's going on here. Come back to the mountain with me!"

"Go back to the mountain?"

Yang Gong was shocked when he heard this: "The remnants of the Truth Church are still in the city, and the food they robbed earlier is also in the city. We have finally gathered so many soldiers and are about to fight into Mingzhou. How can we leave now?"

"If we don't leave, I'm afraid we will die."

The old father-in-law shouted sternly: "Something is wrong. The pace is too fast. You are being pushed out to die."

"Now that you have fought here, not to mention the food in the mountains, you have protected the food in the nearby counties and prefectures, and the army of General Baoliang has also been reported."

"Now is a good time to go back to the mountain, plan carefully, and train the soldiers carefully, but if you stay here, those gangsters and nobles, which one will really obey you?"

"The soldiers were drawn up, but they just used your name and easily drowned you."

"Quick, now is not the time for you to enter Mingzhou City. Just pretend to be injured... No, pretend to be sick and follow me back to the mountain."

"When it becomes clear here, you can come out of the mountain again!"

"..."

Today, Yang Gong and others still don’t know about the 30,000 hungry ghost army, but they are all aware that Mingzhou Mansion is not simple. The vision last night is still weighing on everyone’s minds. Yang Gong also knows that Old What the father-in-law said should be correct.

When he wanted to agree, he suddenly thought of what Hu Ma told him when he was at Qingshi Town Zhuangzi. He slowly shook his head:

"Old Taishan, I can't go back yet."

"I also know that Mingzhou is going to be in trouble. I can also see that these people who have come to seek refuge may not obey me. I also know that although the soldiers and horses are strong now, they are just a mob and cannot fight a tough battle. But more than this time, It’s time for me to make a name for myself.”

"Anyway, the first time I came out of the mountains, it was to protect Mingzhou's food..."

"I know how to calculate, and others are even better at calculating. Now that I'm gone, it's easy. Why don't I want the food from outside the mountains?"

"I don't know if it will be easy to enter the city this time, and I don't know what I will encounter, but I believe that as long as I remember to protect the people's food, the land of Mingzhou will definitely live up to me."

"..."

"If you call yourself the General of Food Protection, do you really only care about those few grains of food?"

After hearing this, the old father-in-law became furious and wanted to hit him with a cane, but when he saw that Yang Gong was serious and difficult to hit, he only angrily said: "Those mud-legged people, when they are full of food and drink, who will care about you? "

"The noble men in the city were originally affiliated with the Truth Cult. Now they just saw that you had some momentum, so they came over to give you a try. If you only care about those few grains, some of them will let you go." In your eyes?"

"Now I don't care who taught you such lies. I just want to ask you, now that you have more and more soldiers, each with their own agenda, how smart do you have to be able to deal with them?"

"..."

Yang Gong was asked for a moment. When it came to big things, he believed in Hu Ma and the "heavenly book" he heard that night. He knew that he should not retreat at this time, but should push forward. But when it came to specific matters, he really just felt that A mess, one head and two big.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard someone coming from outside the tent to report: "Is Brother Yang in there? Please come out quickly, someone is here again."

"A fortune teller came from nowhere. He just said that he was from the city and had something important to report..."

"..."

Before the sound was heard, someone shouted again: "Brother Yang Gong, come quickly, there is a stranger from the world who admires you, come and vote!"

"General Guaranteeing Food, there is a down-and-out scribe who brought half a bag of food and said that he was in charge of the army and wanted to take care of the accounts..."

"Hey, why are there still tricksters here?"

"..."

This series of movements made Yang Gong and his father-in-law stunned. They had no choice but to come out to meet each other.

In Yang Gong's eyes, he was just a little surprised. Some of them were dressed as fortune tellers, some were wearing commoners and had strong muscles. Some were wearing square scarves on their heads and were elegant, while some were wearing colorful clothes. The guy with weapons on his body actually has a monkey squatting on his shoulders...

At first glance, they looked really diverse and different, but they all looked calm and natural. Looking at the dark soldiers and horses around Zhumen Town from a distance, they had no fear on their faces, but instead showed admiration.

After all, Yang Gong had been a disciple of Hongxiang, so he knew not to look down on others, so he rushed up to greet him.

But Yang Gong just greeted him with a smile. He would not refuse anyone who came to surrender. On the contrary, the old father-in-law who came out with Yang Gong originally thought he was a person with evil intentions, but after taking a look from a distance, his expression suddenly changed. .

He rubbed his eyes and looked again, his face suddenly changed with shock, and he hid in a hurry. He didn't come out until Yang Gong saw those people and ordered people to arrange a banquet and wash the dust for them.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he hurriedly came out to greet the fortune teller and knocked his head to the ground:

"Benefactor, benefactor..."

"..."

He was so excited that he burst into tears and said repeatedly: "Liu Fugui, Yu'erwa, Xiaoliang County, Laoyin Mountain, pays homage to Senior Brother Bu Niu..."

"Eight years ago, my senior brother passed by Yu'erwa and saved the lives of all the people in my village. He told me to secretly wait for the opportunity to achieve great things. Over the past eight years, we have always kept this in mind and have never eaten another bite of beef. We only wish to I'll need your guidance again, senior brother..."

"...I don't know, does senior brother still remember me?"
