Twilight Boundary Chapter 555

Chapter 555 I should enter the city

By the time Huma left Laoyin Mountain, the sky was already dark.

Today's Zhumen Town has already become lively. Three thousand grain-guaranteing troops, plus shopkeepers from various branches, military leaders, and even the grain-guarantee general himself came into the town one after another to pay homage to the Red Lantern Lady.

It can be said that this small temple, which covers an area of only a few feet, has never received so many people kowtow since it was first built, and the fate of people has changed.

This scene really moved the Red Lantern Lady, and she didn't dare to move at all.

When she saw General Baoliang coming to save her and bless her, and when she saw shopkeepers, worshippers, and people with a lot of fate in the Liangbao Army coming to kowtow one by one, she really didn't even dare to respond, and just secretly passed on the news. The letter was given to Protector Zuo Shen Hongzhi:

　　First, we must settle these people well, take care of their food and drink, and don't rush them to demolish their own temples.

Secondly, what little blood food is left in the blood food warehouse should be brought over to others?

They all came over to protect me in the middle of the night yesterday. Our little case master must be sensible, even though they don't seem to be protecting us.

But the protector Shen Hongzhi on the left and right was also very busy. No one expected that the town that was empty just yesterday would suddenly be overcrowded in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, the food security army obeyed the rules, and most of them were stationed outside the town. All they had to do was arrange for the leaders and others to live in the town, and take out the food, cattle and sheep in the town to reward these soldiers.

Now that she saw Yang Gong again, she felt even more anxious. She had an impression of this Xiao Hongxiang at the beginning.

But now that I see that his identity has changed so much, I feel uncomfortable when he talks again. As for what the Red Lantern Empress said, she agreed that the blood food should be taken out, and she had already arranged the manpower early in the morning. , went to the blood food warehouse.

But this time, he was shocked again: "Hey, my dear, the remaining blood food is half less..."

"I don't know who took advantage of the chaos yesterday, went over at night, stunned the guards, and pulled out carloads of blood and food. Fortunately, the man didn't seem to have any helpers, and he didn't have any animals. He got a bicycle and pulled it there... "

"Those of us who passed by in the morning saw her from a distance. She threw the car and ran away after shouting. Her legs and feet didn't seem very agile, but she ran very fast..."

“Is it another demon from the Truth Religion?”

The left protector, Shen Hongzhi, was all agitated for a moment: "There's only so much left, are you still worried about me?"

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

Coupled with a quantity of black ointment, the town's stored grain, cattle, sheep, and horses were all delivered to the grain-guarantee army's tent. Yang Gong and a group of bumpkins from the mountains were frightened: "Red Lantern Club" So rich?"

"Isn't this vat filled with the legendary blood food that's more expensive than gold? One bite of this thing makes you lose a small building. Two big-assed women can still be filled in a big vat. ?”

But it wasn't just the Red Lantern Festival. After dawn, within a short time, people from all directions, households, towns, and even Mingzhou Prefecture who had stolen the door of the house were seen carrying things, and even a group of soldiers and horses. Come and visit me in Zhumen Town.

Speaking of the history, it is surprising that all of them are noble men from the city of Mingzhou. They expressed their gratitude for the kindness of the grain-protecting army and came to support and join the army.

At a glance, the things in the hands of each group of people who came over were scary. On the stickers, there were written words about cattle and sheep, horse farms, grain and grass, and even weapons and armor. They were like Yang Gong and people who came out of the mountains. It feels unreal...

They didn't know that it was the people in the city who had the opposite idea and wanted to place their bets in a hurry to avoid being left behind.

I just felt that when I was in the mountains, I couldn't get anything at first, and the weapons were all missing their edges.

Why is it that in just five or six days, it's like my identity has changed all of a sudden, and everyone has sent so much?

Not to mention other specific things, just the soldiers and horses who came over, there were dozens here, hundreds there, the bandits on the entire hilltop here have reformed, and came to join the army, there are hundreds of young people in a village over there, We are all grateful for our kindness and come to protect our food...

At this rate, maybe it won't take more than two or three days to defeat the 10,000-strong army?

At the same time when this response was changing so fast that people were dizzying and at a loss, someone came from the mountain. It was Yang Gong's father-in-law, who hurriedly rushed to the town with more than a dozen servants.

After kowtowing to the Red Lantern Empress together with Yang Gong, he hurriedly called Yang Gong to the tent and said hurriedly: "I already know what's going on here. Come back to the mountains with me quickly!"

“Back to the mountain?”

When Yang Gong heard this, he was shocked: "The remnants of the Truth Sect are still in the city, and the food they robbed earlier is also in the city. We managed to pull up so many soldiers and horses. If you want to go all out and break into Mingzhou, how can you get away with it? "

“If you don't leave, I'm afraid you'll 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 reached here, not to mention the grain in the mountains, you have protected all the nearby prefectures and counties, and the army of the general who protects the grain has also arrived."

"It's a good time to go back to the mountain, plan carefully, and train your troops carefully. But if you stay here, which of those noble men in the world will really obey you?"

“The troops were mobilized, but just in your name, they easily drowned you.”

“Hurry, 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.

Just 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 there will be a disaster in Mingzhou. 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 become famous.”

“At any rate, the first time I came out of the mountains, it was to protect the food supply in Mingzhou...”

“I know how to calculate, and others are even better at calculating. It's easy for me to leave now, so 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 food for the people, 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 under your command, each with his 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 It's 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 else is here."

“A fortune teller came from nowhere. He just said that he came 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!"

"The general who protects the grain, there is a down-and-out scribe, he brought half a bag of grain and said he was in charge of the army, and he still wants to take care of the accounts..."

“Hey, why are there still tricksters here?”

This series of movements made Yang Gong and the old 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 look really diverse and inconsistent, but their expressions are all calm and natural. Looking at the dark soldiers and horses around Zhumen Town from a distance, they have no fear on their faces, but rather admiration.

Yang Gong had been a disciple of Hongxiang after all, 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 rushed 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 from 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 need your guidance again, senior brother..."

“…I don't know, senior brother, do you still remember me?”
