Jiangbei City, Liangzhou border.
20 miles outside the city was the vast Azure Water River.
The Canglan River had the Si Water River, the Guan River, and other tributaries. The widest part of the two banks was dozens of miles!
This huge river ran all the way to the South Sea. Most of the border of the Liang Province was connected to this river.
Jiangbei City was one of the important military cities of Canglan River. At this moment, corrosive rain fell from the sky. A dragon-headed ship was shuttling out of the lightning clouds and slowly landing in Jiangbei City.
After waiting for the soldiers to jump off the dragon-headed ship, the commander of the Heroic Army, Sun Peng, waved his hand and put the dragon-headed ship into his storage ring.
The battle that had been going on for the past few days had caused this commander at the high level of the Spiritual Bridge to have an unconcealable exhaustion on his face.
"My lord." Qin Rui walked over.
"Hmm, what important news will there be when I'm not around?”Sun Pengfei asked.
"Compared to the war that Milord participated in, how could there be any important news?”Qin Rui shook his head.
"That's true." Sun Pengfei sighed." The alliance of sects crossed the river to launch a sneak attack on Jiangbei County. They demonized three cities overnight and massacred more than 300,000 people in seven days. If it weren't for the marshal's personal intervention, Jiangbei County would have suffered even greater losses.”
"Oh, I remember now. There seems to be one thing.”Qin Rui suddenly said," Not long after Commander went out, Heyuan County's Head Zhao Xing sent a letter. He was prepared to destroy Black Wind Mountain Village and invited our Brave Warrior Army to help.”
"Hmm? Wasn't it just after the summer harvest? Why was he in such a hurry? Could it be that the Black Wind Mountain Village was harassing them?”Sun Pengfei remembered that they had agreed to do so after the summer harvest and before the autumn harvest.
" It's not the right time..." Sun Pengfei sighed,""It's not that our heroic army doesn't protect this place, but it's really beyond our power.”
"Milord, don't worry." Qin Rui smiled." Heyuan County Head Zhao Xing sent a second letter.”
"What did you say?"
"Lord Zhao led the militia to wipe out the bandits and killed more than 2,000 bandits in one battle.”
"All the leaders of the Blackwind Bandits have been killed. I'm afraid that the name of the Blackwind Bandits no longer exists on Phoenix Cry Mountain.”
"What?" Sun Pengfei was stunned. "How did he do it?"
"This subordinate does not know." Qin Rui said," However, I heard that Lord Zhao has a Spiritual Bridge Realm follower.”
"Truly a hero from a young age." Sun Pengfei sighed." Qin Rui, I suddenly have a feeling that Zhao Xing might become my superior in the future.”
"Milord actually overestimated him so much?" Qin Rui asked in surprise.
"I just have a feeling." Sun Pengfei said," Heyuan County is only a lower county. In less than four months, it was completely transformed by his hands.”
"Such a person is definitely not someone ordinary. Just wait and see. The small Nanyang County could not trap such a hidden dragon. Sooner or later, there would be a day when he would soar to the heavens!”
…………
Nanyang County, government office.
Ji Liang was leaning over his desk, and there was a thick pile of documents in front of him.
"Sir, take a rest." Brush Official Chen Hai brought a cup of tea over. "You've been busy all day."
"I can't finish it even if I'm busy for a few more days.”Ji Liang raised his head and sighed." The Prefectural Governor isn't here, and the other Tongzhi and Provincial Governors have pushed the difficult tasks onto me…Hmph, they've been relieved to have given me all the dirty and tiring work.”
"Right now, Jiangbei County is at war, and they still need to mobilize troops from Nanyang. With this move, the Rearguard Commandery would have to take away a large amount of rations and logistics. The summer harvest had just passed, and they would have to take away the rations of the commoners.”
"This official suggested that those prefectures and lords donate to the army, but those fat pigs who usually eat with their mouths full of oil all cry about poverty.”
"The higher-ups want money, the lower-ups can't collect taxes, and there are all kinds of disasters…Tell me, what should I do?”
"If it weren't for the luck of the officials of the Great Zhou, my old bones wouldn't have been able to withstand the torment.”
Ji Liang closed his eyes, and a Spirit Bridge phantom appeared above his head. However, this Spirit Bridge phantom of his was slightly different. Its foundation was superficial, and it didn't seem like it was cultivated by itself. Instead, it seemed like it was aided by external forces.
Chen Hai quietly listened to Ji Liang's nagging as if he was used to it.
After a while, he took out the official document and handed it to Ji Liang.
"Sir, this is the official document that Lord Zhao of Heyuan County just sent over. You said that Lord Zhao's official document could be given to you alone.”
"It's Zhao Xing. What does he want?”At the mention of Zhao Xing, Ji Liang smiled and teased," This kid wouldn't have killed many bandits again, right?”
"Sir, you have divine foresight." Chen Hai complimented.
"Really? Read it." Ji Liang said as he drank his tea.
"Lord Zhao said that he led the Heyuan County soldiers out of the city to suppress the bandits.”
"We entered Mount Phoenix Cry and killed 2,318 Blackwind Bandits, including a Spirit Bridge Stage and 30 Connate Stage…We completely wiped out the Blackwind Mountain Village and seized a batch of illegal items.”
"Puff!" Ji Liang spat out a mouthful of tea.
"What did you just say?"
