"Zhang Long, Zhang Wei, Huyan Lie, each of you lead a hundred cavalry and set off immediately to Luohe Town, Three Willows Village, and Taihe Town to pick up people.”
"Let's meet at Beam River."
There were not many families of the soldiers in the capital, and there were still some scattered in the surrounding villages. Yesterday, Lin Xuan had sent people to inform them, afraid that there would be any changes. Today, he still had to send people to receive them.
Tian Hu and Meng Jiao came over and chuckled."General, why is the Eldest Commandery Princess looking for you?”
"Don't tell me you're revealing your true feelings."
"Go, go, go."
Lin Xuan slapped the back of Tian Hu's head angrily and cursed,"If you have such thoughts, you might as well practice martial arts and read more books.”
"Also, don't call me General anymore. I'm the Mayor of Yan County now.”
"What kind of prefect is this?"
Meng Jiao grumbled," He's too unkind. He really treats us like old shoes. He picks us up when he wants to wear them and hides us under the bed when he doesn't."”
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Although Yan County is bitter and cold, at least it's free.”
"That's true."
Tian Hu nodded.
"Keep your spirits up along the way.”
Lin Xuan's expression was solemn.”
"It can't be."
Meng Jiao turned around and looked at the majestic capital of the Northern Liang.""Don't tell me they're going to attack us so soon.”
"Can't you think more?”
A few black lines appeared between Lin Xuan's brows,"Why did Godfather do this to me? I'm talking about the Northern Python and the imperial court.
Be especially careful of assassinations."
"As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. Moreover, there's nothing wrong with being careful.”
"Understood."
Tian Hu and Meng Jiao looked at each other and nodded in unison.
After leaving the capital for 30 miles, they arrived at Luohe Town and met up with Zhang Wei. After bringing his family along with him, they continued their journey.
"Lin Xuan, slow down."
Under the pavilion in the distance, someone's voice sounded. Lin Xuan turned around and saw a white-robed man standing in the pavilion.
"It's him."
Lin Xuan was surprised. After instructing everyone to set off, he rode his horse to the outside of the pavilion.
"I didn't expect you to send me off before I left.”
Lin Xuan looked at this white-robed soldier immortal.
"What's wrong? I can't?"
Chen Zhibao laughed.
"Naturally, it's a gift."
"No matter what, we're still sworn brothers.”
"A cup of turbid wine and a pot of coarse tea. I'll give it to you. Don't dislike it.”
Chen Zhi reported and waved.
They stepped into the pavilion and sat down.
"If you leave, the morale of the army will be unstable.”
Chen Zhibao shook his head.
"I have no choice."
Lin Xuan smiled bitterly." A tall tree attracts the wind, and that little prince doesn't like me. If I don't leave now, it will be difficult to escape in the future."”
"The prince is only a temporary playboy."
Chen Zhibao looked at him, her eyes clear and pure."In the future, he will use you, and in the future, the Northern Liang will also need you.”
"Not necessarily."
Lin Xuan pursed his lips." Moreover, with you, the White-Robed Soldier Immortal, Northern Liang is safe. I only need to look after that small piece of land in Yan County."”
"Your ability is above mine."
"He's also more suitable to guard Beiliang than me." Chen Zhi reported.”
"This is all for later."
Lin Xuan raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp. He smiled and said,"I drank two cups of wine today. It's really unexpected.”
"In the future, if you encounter any trouble in the County of Yan, you can let me know. If it is within my ability, I will not decline.”
When Chen Zhibao said this, Lin Xuan could feel that he was not pretending to be polite to him.
As Xu Xiao's seventh foster son, Lin Xuan's relationship with the other six foster sons was not good. Or rather, they were at most acquaintances.
All these years, he had been working hard to accumulate strength and improve his cultivation. He did not want to get involved in the power whirlpool of Northern Liang.
However, most of the time, things did not go as planned.
As his strength grew stronger and his battle achievements increased, his status in Northern Liang also rose rapidly.
It was exactly as the saying went, people had no choice in the martial world.
Lin Xuan's rise quickly overshadowed the limelight of the sixth foster son, causing their relationship to become even worse.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"If there isn't, then I'm going to set off."”
"No."
Chen Zhibao smiled, as if he had thought of something, and said,"I've long disliked this despicable Chu Lushan.”
"Fellow Daoist."
Leaving behind this sentence, Lin Xuan laughed loudly and got on the horse to chase after Meng Jiao and Tian Hu.
In the evening, they successfully fetched the family members of Three Willow Village. The sky was about to turn dark.
They set up camp on the spot.
On the afternoon of the second day, they met up with Huyan Lie at Beam River. Eight hundred cavalry brought thousands of family members and hundreds of carriages as they headed towards the County of Yan.
Traveling during the day and finding a relay station at night was a bit slow, but it was safer.
It had been two months since they crossed two states and entered Yanyun.
They followed the foot of the Great Veil Mountain and headed straight for Yanzhou City, the capital of Yanjun County.
When they arrived at Gu County, Zhang Long and Zhang Wei led two hundred elite cavalry and headed straight for Broken Dragon Pass with the official seal of the prefect.
As the dangerous pass for Yan County to defend the Northern Python, Broken Dragon Pass must be in his hands as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Lin Xuan would not be able to sleep at night.
The remaining 600 elite cavalry headed straight for Yanzhou City under his lead.
All the officials in the County of Yan had already received the transfer order from Qing Liang Mountain and knew that the new prefect would arrive in a few days.
Therefore, all the counties sent their representatives to Yanzhou City.
If it was an unknown person who came, they would not have to mobilize so many people.
However, this new prefect was Lin Xuan. Who in Northern Liang did not know Lin Xuan?
Who was not afraid of Lin Xuan?
"Wang Qing, how long is the journey?”
On the official road, Lin Xuan rode a horse and walked slowly as he looked at Wang Qing lying on the carriage.
The registrar was tired from traveling for two months. He couldn't stand it anymore and had to lie down in the carriage two days ago.
"Two days at most."
"I reckon that the people from the prefecture should be arriving soon," Wang Qing said.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a scout reported,"Reporting to General, the Yan Prefecture Army is thirty miles ahead.”
"How many people?"
Lin Xuan frowned.”
"Let's continue probing."
he said.
"Yes."
The horse left
"Tian Hu, tell the brothers to keep their spirits up.”
Although it was the prefecture soldiers, Lin Xuan still had to be wary.
The County of Yan was an extremely chaotic place. There were people from all walks of life. It was the most foolish thing to let down one's guard when one was not sure of the situation.
About an hour later, the sound of horse hooves came from the front, and the ground shook.
"Get into formation."
Meng Jiao's expression changed slightly. With a loud shout, hundreds of cavalry gathered from all directions and formed a neat battle formation behind him.
"In front is the carriage of the new Governor of Yan County.”
A horse galloped over and stopped in front of the convoy, shouting loudly.
"Exactly. Who are you?"
Meng Jiao raised his horse-slaying saber and rode forward to answer the question.
"I am the commander of the Yan County's Sima Zhang Song. I am here to welcome Governor Lin's carriage.”
the person replied.
"Do you have any official documents?"
Meng Jiao asked again.
"Yes."
The man dismounted from his horse and took out a seal and a document with the Sima Seal. He held it with both hands and handed it to Meng Jiao.
"Wait here," Meng Jiao said,"I'll report this to the prefect."”
After saying that, he rode his horse back.
"General, I have confirmed that it is the official seal of the prefecture.”
