Devil’s Advent

Well, from Chengguo? Haha, you guys are interesting. There is still a war there, and you actually come out to do business.

Jin Shuke looked at the other party's document and asked in surprise.

Look at what the military master said, you don't have to eat when you are in war, and you don't want to do business?

The leader of the caravan quietly sent a small bag of silver over.

Jinshu can be avoided, instead of taking the money, he said:

Is this what you often say you want money or life?

Life is of course precious, but if you don't have money, you can't survive this life.

Jin Shuke nodded, and said: It makes sense, go in, and check and register later.

Hey, thank you, Mr. Jun. Please accept these little things, Mr. Jun, and give the brothers some tea.

Put it away, or you will be charged with bribery.

Don't dare, don't dare.

The leader of the caravan immediately put away the money and bowed several times before signaling his team to enter the city.

On the city gate card side, you can't get big money, but small money is often available, just because now under the heavy code in Shengle City, no one dares to stretch out this hand.

It's not worth it to lose my future and life for this little money.

Jin Shu could wave his hand to signal a subordinate to come over, and whispered to him:

Go and inform the third master's men that a caravan from Cheng Guo has entered the city.

As ordered.

After finishing the order, Jin Shuke stretched his waist and walked to Yu Huaping's side.

Sheng Lejun pays attention to the military posture, and the picture shows that General Zheng looks good when he inspects the troops.

Every month, all the departments will gather to go through the parade, and evaluate the top three and the bottom three.

Therefore, when many generals are on duty on weekdays, they have extremely high requirements for the standing posture of their subordinates. What's more, they will call their subordinates to practice going forward after they are on duty.

This point, on the contrary, has significantly improved the city appearance of Shengle City.

Of course, standing in a military posture is really not difficult for Yu Huaping, he can stand in one posture from morning till night.

Jin Shuke took out a small bottle, poured out a little essential oil from it, put it on his fingertips, and rubbed it under his nose.

This is a product that just came out of Chengxi Workshop -- Fengyoujing.

The refreshing effect is good, but Jinshu bought some for himself.

Seeing the Chengguo caravan entering the city, Jin Shuke whispered, There may be spies from over here.

Yu Huaping turned his face to look at Jin Shuke.

I have already notified the other side. Jin Shuke continued.

Yu Huaping nodded.

In the past few months, Yu Huaping has been conscientiously being a defender of the city, a generation of sword masters, and he really can bear the loneliness.

Even General Zheng, who wished to see the East Gate seven or eight times a day, had gradually lost his freshness and stopped coming, but Jin Shuke has always been very concerned about this subordinate.

It seems that he has decided that this person is not Fanpin, and will often tell him some of his own experiences, and share with him the purpose of what he does.

Therefore, in this world, there are some people who really deserve to be famous. Not everyone can have this kind of vision.

Want to drink together after the shift? Jin Shuke asked.

Yu Huaping shook his head and said, No, you guys go.

Jin Shu wasn't angry at all. In fact, he was used to this kind of rejection. Except for the time when his own woman gave birth, Yu Huaping never went to other brothers' parties after that.

Okay. Jin Shuke stretched out his hand and patted Yu Huaping's shoulder, imitating the expression of his master Zheng Fan when he patted him on the shoulder.

After lowering the value,

Yu Huaping put away his knife and started to walk back.

Walking on the road, he saw his apprentice waiting for him at the intersection of the street on time every day.

Little Jiantong stood upright with a wooden sword on his waist.

When Yu Huaping walked over, she naturally followed behind.

The master and apprentice walked into an alley in the city. It was a very small yard, which looked a bit dilapidated, but it was kept clean.

After the Juggernaut came in, he picked up the bucket and turned to leave.

Little Jiantong took out a handful of candied fruit from his bosom, teasing the little boy who ran out of the house.

The master and apprentice seem to have gotten used to this division of labor, and they both blended in very naturally.

The Juggernaut lifted the water back and forth twice to fill up the water tank.

The little boy felt a little stuffed after eating candied fruit and rubbed his belly.

An old woman watched the scene cheerfully, and when the Juggernaut came back, she enthusiastically pulled the Juggernaut over, measured his shoe boards, and said that she would make two pairs of cloth shoes for him.

You soldiers, you wear good boots, but your feet are stuffy, and your feet stink. The old lady's shoes are better, and your feet are loose.

The Juggernaut nodded upon hearing the words, and said:

That is.

When it was getting late, the woman who came down from the perfume workshop returned home.

At this moment, Juggernaut and Little Sword Boy were about to go out.

The woman pursed her lips and shouted:

I'm going to cook, let's have dinner together.

The Juggernaut waved his hand and said, Next time, next time.

After all,

He left the house with Xiao Jiantong.

Back at the residence of the post station, the steward of the post station delivered two bowls of noodles.

The Juggernaut and the little Jiantong each had a bowl of noodles, and both the master and the apprentice ate very shamelessly.

Master, why don't you stay there for dinner?

Not yet. The Juggernaut replied.

According to the rules of Jin, if both men and women do not have a spouse, then they can sit at the same table and have a serious meal, which is regarded as a partnership.

The woman has already spoken, but the Juggernaut has not agreed.

Is Master shy? Xiao Jiantong asked.

The Juggernaut hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

I think that teacher's wife is not bad, she is a down-to-earth person. Xiao Jiantong said like this.

How old are you, can you see people?

Master, I can see what some people are thinking, and it's not like you don't know.

Suddenly, the Juggernaut lowered his head and continued eating noodles.

The master and the apprentice just ate and ate.

The little sword boy began to practice swords,

The Juggernaut held Longyuan and started carving.

He was going to make a rattle and give it to the boy named Tiantian by Zheng Fan himself, who had urinated in his arms six times after all.

He also wanted to make a small wooden sword for her son named Liu Dahu.

The world-renowned sword Longyuan was in the hands of the Sword Master, but now it is used as a toy for children. I don't know if the swordmaker of Chu State would be so angry that he vomited blood if he knew about it.

The blind man once came to ask himself, should he continue to be a defender of the city?

If you want to continue working, then continue working, and at the same time ask if you want to be promoted. If you don't want to continue working, then everyone can discuss other arrangements. Even if you want to leave, you have to have a farewell banquet.

But I decided to continue to be like this, and continued to change the sword for a knife every morning and go to the gate of the city to watch the crowds come in and out.

The Juggernaut himself didn't expect that this defender could last so long.

What he didn't expect was that,

The ceiling realm that I had stagnated for a long time seemed to have already touched, but there were signs of loosening.

The Juggernaut remembers that the blind man once answered a question of his own, that is, what kind of energy is his sword, and the blind man said, it is the energy of the earth.

Carve and carve,

The corner of Juggernaut's mouth couldn't help revealing a smile.

The little sword boy who was practicing sword keenly captured this detail,

But he didn't stop his sword practice,

He just snorted disdainfully in his heart:

Oh, man.

………

Where's the Vanguard Officer? Zheng Fan asked.

Master, he is waiting in the front hall.

hehe.

Zheng Fan smiled, and threw the military order from the First Prince on the table.

All the devil kings put down their original jobs and gathered in the mansion for a meeting, because the first prince's army had already arrived at the border and was about to enter Chengguo.

Xue San opened his mouth and said: Master, this eldest prince is so majestic, he just asked for 10,000 civilian husbands, and we are responsible for the transportation of food and supplies for his army on the left. What the hell is this?

A Ming nodded and said, He treats himself like Tian Wujing.

When Tian Wujing entered the snowfield, Shengle City was responsible for raising and arranging food and grass supplies, and did a good job in logistical support. Of course, Shengle City also made a fortune in terms of profit distribution after the war.

The eldest prince obviously valued Shengle City's ability to be a logistics soldier.

Zheng Fan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and was not in a hurry to speak.

Si Niang said: Our Shengle is still at a huge loss right now, thanks to our solid foundation, we can still afford it for the time being, if this is simply to support an army with supplies, this is really a loss-making business , even if the official title of the Lord is transferred to another turn after the battle, what's the point?

Only supplies of supplies, food and grass will be provided, which will definitely have nothing to do with you in the distribution of the results of the battle in the future. After all, you didn't actually send troops to participate in the war, right?

Liang Cheng said:

You can't be a big fool,

Zheng Fan asked at this time: How did Chen Yang deal with it?

Chen Yang is the commander-in-chief of Xinsu City, and has 10,000 Jingnan troops under his command.

The blind man replied: My lord, Chen Yang can't hold out there, and the eldest prince didn't come out to say hello when he passed through the headquarters.

Tian Wujing didn't say anything, no one in the Jingnan Army dared to say hello.

Of course, you can also say hello, which means that you jump out of the Jingnan Army system and jump into the arms of the eldest prince, begging for a hug, it's up to you to decide.

But from Zheng Fan's point of view,

He left Tian Wujing and threw himself into the arms of the First Prince when his mind was flooded, and became a licking dog again,

Rentian Wujing's son is still being raised in his own home.

Tell that vanguard officer that Sheng Le is poor and has been unable to make ends meet for a long time, and there is really no spare energy to support the army.

It is certain that the Yan Army in Jindi, Litian City and Quhe City, the base camps of the Wen family and the Helian family, are not bad, with a dense population and developed economy and trade. Pay half the salary, and raise the remaining half by yourself.

This can be regarded as an unspoken rule, and the imperial court also knows that you have the ability to get money and food, and your life will not be too bad. This is the same as that of some yamen in later generations who still have so many people who want to get in with only a small salary. The reason is gone.

Zheng Fan said again:

In addition, make a bill for the military pay, food, etc. that the imperial court has owed us for almost a year, and send someone to send it to the eldest prince, begging the eldest prince for mercy, saying that we are really too poor to survive, and hope that the eldest prince will support us.
