"What did you say?"
Zhang Zhong and Yang Desheng, who were in the hall of the prefect's mansion, heard the words of the guard who ran in and didn't react for a moment.
But soon, their eyes widened!
The prefect is back?
The prefect who had led more than a thousand people away for more than ten days had returned?
"Is this true?"
Yang Desheng looked at the guard in disbelief.
"Yes, sir. The prefect should be arriving at the city gate with his army by now!”
The guard said excitedly.
Hearing the guard's confirmation, Zhang Zhong and Yang Desheng looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
He really came back!
They were just worried that it would be difficult for the prefect to return!
"Let's go, we'll go welcome the prefect!"
Zhang Zhong said to Yang Desheng immediately.
Yang Desheng nodded.
Immediately, the two of them led the other officials of the prefect's residence out of the prefect's residence and headed towards the city gate.
At this moment!
Shanwu City, outside the city gates!
Tian Meng was leading his troops towards the city gate.
Looking at the traces of blood that still remained in Shan Wu City, Tian Qiong finally let out a sigh of relief. He no longer felt as heavy as when he first came to Shan Wu City.
A debt of blood could only be repaid with blood!
The Xiongnu's atrocity towards the people of the border could only be washed away with the blood of the Xiongnu!
This time, they only made the Xiongnu people pay a small price. In the future, the Han Dynasty would definitely use the long saber in their hands to cut off more Xiongnu people's heads. It would definitely make the Xiongnu people feel fear and despair!
Because they were facing a powerful and invincible nation, a big man who was as strong as five Hu men!
Behind Tian Qiong, many soldiers looked at Shan Wucheng with different emotions.
The soldiers who had lost nearly 200 family members to the Xiongnu were filled with the joy of revenge and sighed with emotion!
They had taken revenge. They had finally gotten what they wanted. They had killed more Xiongnu with their own hands and finally vented the anger in their hearts!
Mayor, it was their new mayor who helped them get revenge!
The two hundred soldiers looked at their leader, Tian He, with respect and gratitude. Now that they could follow such a prefect, they would die!
As for the nearly 1,500 recruits, they were filled with joy and excitement!
Merit! They had made a great contribution!
Following the prefect and this young general, they had made contributions that others could not have made when they were transferred to the front line. This was something they had never thought of before they came.
Now, everyone was filled with excitement and anticipation!
They looked at the figure of their chief with admiration and respect.
It was their prefect who had led them to achieve such great merit!
They felt very lucky and proud to be able to follow such a young prefect!
Ta…
The troops arrived at the city gate of Shanwu City. The guards at the city gate had already seen their prefect and the string of Xiongnu heads.
Looking at the heads of the Xiongnu people, all the guards were extremely excited.
They knew that not only did their prefect kill the Xiongnu dogs, but he also brought back the heads of so many Xiongnu dogs!
This was really satisfying!
"Governor!"
"Governor!"
"Governor!"
The guards looked at Tian Qiong, who had arrived in front of them, and all of them bowed respectfully in excitement.
Tian Qiong nodded slightly and led his troops into the city.
In Shanwu City, people who had already seen the situation shouted excitedly in various parts of the city,
"The prefect is back!"
"The prefect has returned from killing the Xiongnu!"
"The prefect has returned with the heads of many Xiongnu dogs. Everyone, come out and take a look!”
……
Countless people in the city heard the shouts from all over the place and their eyes widened.
The news of the prefect leading a group of people out of the city had long spread throughout Shanwu City.
Some people said that the prefect had led his troops to the grasslands to kill Xiongnu dogs to avenge the people…
There were also many people who said that the prefect had only gone to patrol and that it was impossible for him to go to the grasslands to kill that fierce and cruel Xiongnu dog…
There were also many people who said that this prefect was only bringing people to hunt for prey to satisfy his craving. The imperial court did not even dare to send troops to attack the Xiongnu to avenge the people. How could a prefect like him kill the Xiongnu? He was simply dreaming…
There were all sorts of things these days.
However, there was one thing that they all had in common, and that was their hatred for the Xiongnu!
All the commoners were filled with endless hatred for the Xiongnu on the grasslands, wishing they could kill them!
At this moment, due to the countless deaths and injuries, this shocking news suddenly rang out in Shanwu City, which was generally filled with low spirits. Everyone was filled with shock!
"The prefect is back?"
"The prefect has returned from killing the Xiongnu?"
"This…did I hear wrongly?"
"I heard that it's true. The prefect brought people back to kill many Xiongnu dogs!”
"Is this true? Where were they? Do you want me to take a look?"
"When I saw him, he was already outside the city gate. He should have entered the city by now!”
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier? I'll go take a look!”
"I'll go and take a look too!"
"Wait for me, I'll go too!"
"Let's go, let's go! I heard that the mayor has already entered the city!”
"Eh, what are you guys doing?"
"What are you still doing at home? I heard that the prefect killed many Xiongnu dogs and came back!”
" What?!"
……
All of a sudden, all the citizens of Shanwu City left their houses in shock and surprise. They rushed to the streets, and the people from the streets gathered on the street leading to the prefect's mansion.
The streets were filled with people, excited and happy citizens. They wanted to see if this was true. Did the prefect really kill the Xiongnu dog and come back?
People from all over the streets quickly gathered. Soon, they saw a team entering the city from afar!
The person in the lead was the newly appointed prefect who had just taken up his post some time ago!
Behind him was a group of soldiers on horseback.
Looking at them, countless commoners saw a string of salted heads hanging on the backs of horses. Looking at the heads, especially the unique hair of the Xiongnu, everyone instantly knew that they were definitely Xiongnu!
"It's the Xiongnu's head!"
"It's the Xiongnu!"
"It really is the Xiongnu!"
"Heavens, there are so many Xiongnu heads!”
"Hahaha, good kill, good kill!”
"Haha, even a Xiongnu dog has a day like this!”
"Baby, did you see that? These were the heads of the Xiongnu people! It was the Huns who killed your grandfather, your father, and your sister. You must remember that they are our enemies, our enemies. In the future, when you grow up, you must join the army and cut off their heads to avenge your loved ones!”
……
Countless people cried out in surprise when they saw this scene. Their hearts were filled with excitement and tears flowed out of their eyes.
