Qingzhou.

It is adjacent to the wilderness and the territory of the Vampire Clan.

Fortunately, Qingzhou has been relatively peaceful for decades, and it occupies a geographical advantage. The vampire area bordering Qingzhou is a plain, while Qingzhou is on a plateau.

A mountain range stretching for thousands of miles separates the plains and plateaus.

The Qingzhou frontier army built a defense line based on the mountains that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Behind the long defense line were twelve cities specifically used to garrison troops.

Bluestone Castle.

One of the twelve cities.

These twelve cities were originally military garrison fortresses. After continuous expansion, they formed their current size, but their names are still used today.

Chen Hao led his army to assist in the defense of Qingshi Fort.

There are still five thousand border troops in Qingshi Fort.

city ​​gate.

Zhu Luo, the deputy general of the frontier army stationed in Qingshibao, led people to greet Chen Hao.

Dozens of people led by Chen Hao dismounted and others were stationed outside the city.

Zhu Luo clasped his fists and said to Chen Hao: "I have heard about the name of the third son of the Bai family in Heyuan, Ganzhou for a long time, and I am lucky enough to meet him today."

He Kui spoke before Chen Hao, "Your general, Cui Xiong, sent you to greet us. Isn't it a bit rude?"

"The military affairs are busy and General Cui can't leave. I look forward to the third son Haihan." Zhu Luo explained with a smile.

"Busy with military affairs?"

He Kui sneered and wanted to say more.

"Okay, just say a few words." Chen Hao glanced at He Kui and said to Zhu Luo, "Military affairs are important."

"Yes, Third Young Master is right."

Zhu Luo smiled and agreed with Chen Hao.

He Kui, who was standing next to Chen Hao, gritted his teeth, thinking that Chen Hao didn't know what was good and was embarrassing him in public. He thought to himself: Boy, when you need the antidote, let's see how you beg me.

"Third Young Master, please!"

Zhu Luo invited Chen Hao into the city.

The hundreds of soldiers following Zhu Luo will make way for Chen Hao.

Chen Hao didn't give in. On the surface, his identity and status were the highest and most noble among the people in front of the city gate.

He mounted his horse and entered the city first.

Soldiers from both sides will mount their horses and follow Chen Hao.

Zhu Luo, who accompanied Chen Hao, smiled and said: "The city walls are built of bluestone, and the roads inside the city are paved with bluestone, so it is called Bluestone Castle."

"I see."

Chen Hao spoke and stared ahead. At the end of the road, which was about a mile long, was the General's Mansion facing north and south.

There are many shops on both sides of the five-meter-wide road.

It's quite lively with people coming and going.

Zhu Luo said: "In the beginning, Qingshi Fort was just a fort. Over the centuries, it has been continuously expanded and the garrison increased, attracting more and more businessmen and people seeking a living. Now there are more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in the city."

"More than 30,000 people..."

This number was beyond Chen Hao's expectation.

For a city, more than 30,000 people may not seem like a lot.

But this is a border fortress and may be attacked and invaded by aliens at any time. It can have 30,000 people, which is not bad.

All kinds of passers-by were attracted by Chen Hao riding on the white horse and stopped to watch.

To these passers-by and vendors on both sides of the road, Chen Hao, who is handsome and mighty on a white horse, is unattainable.

Some people are envious.

Someone was in awe.

Some people have wild imaginations.

"Look, that white-robed general is so handsome!"

"Wow!"

"General!"

In a three-story pavilion on one side of the road, more than a dozen beautiful women crowded in front of the windows and shouted, even waving to Chen Hao.

Zhu Luo smiled and said: "This Tianxiang Tower is the property of Jiaofangsi. Most of the women in the building are the female dependents of convicted officials who were sent to the frontier."

Chen Hao knew what Jiaofangsi did.

Chen Hao was not surprised that there was a government-run brothel in a small border town.

Where there is demand, there is supply.

"General Cui will entertain the young master here tonight." Zhu Luo added.

Chen Hao smiled slightly and said nothing.

On the side, He Kui looked straight at the woman in Tianxiang Tower.

In his opinion, although the Tianxiang Tower in Heyuan Prefecture is two or three times larger than this Tianxiang Tower, it is far less attractive than the girls here.

A group of people rode forward.

"Although this Bluestone City looks dangerous and strong, it may not be able to withstand a blow from a third-level expert. I hope there won't be a war."

Chen Hao pretended to be worried.

Zhu Luo said: "I think the Third Young Master has not experienced a war yet. The marquis, dukes, and grand dukes of the blood clan will only fight against the strong men of the third rank in Daxia, just like the governor rarely interferes in the official affairs of a certain county."

Chen Hao said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

"If the situation that Third Young Master is worried about really happens, you will have to consider yourself unlucky." Zhu Luo smiled bitterly.

Chen Hao nodded, and the picture of the fighting generals in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" appeared in his mind.

The death or defeat of a general on one side means the entire army is defeated.

In fact, fighting generals exist in another time and space, mostly in movies, TV dramas and novels, and are extremely rare in real history.

And this world seems to be an enhanced version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"A battle formation is like a chess game. No matter how powerful the chess pieces are, they will be restrained, and no matter how weak the chess pieces are, they will have their effect."

Zhu Luo felt this.

"The battle formation is like a chess game..."

Chen Hao murmured, suddenly enlightened.

The battles in this world are by no means as simple as fighting generals.

Zhu Luo arranged for Chen Hao and his party to stay in a house next to the general's mansion.

The courtyard with three entrances can be called a mansion in this city.

Main hall in the front yard.

Chen Hao looked left and right.

"General Cui said that the Third Young Master is the commander of a brigade and must have a decent mansion in the city. Is this mansion satisfactory to the Third Young Master?"

Zhu Luoxiao asked Chen Hao.

"This house is so so-so." He Kui said arrogantly, trying to save the face he had lost before.

Chen Hao glanced at He Kui and then at Zhu Luo.

The two are both lieutenants, but their temperaments are very different.

Character of mind sometimes determines destiny.

"That……"

Zhu Luo smiled bitterly and looked at Chen Hao. At the same time, he wondered why the deputy general He Kui was so domineering in front of the general.

Lieutenant General He obviously didn't take the Third Young Master seriously.

"I would like to thank General Cui in person tonight." Chen Hao said this, which was tantamount to accepting the house.

"Then the third young master will rest first and I will take my leave."

Zhu Luo leaned forward and clasped his fists.

Chen Hao smiled and nodded.

Zhu Luo took people away.

In the main hall, He Kui sat directly on the main seat and called the maid to serve tea.

Dozens of people inside and outside the main hall were all He Kui's confidants, so He Kui became unscrupulous.

The maid serves tea.

He Kui crossed his legs, took a slow sip of tea, and said with a smile on his face, "People, you can't forget what you are doing, otherwise you will harm others and yourself."

Chen Hao knew that He Kui was threatening him, so he had no interest in arguing with He Kui and went to the backyard.

He Kui curled his lips with disdain on his face.

into the night.

Tianxiang Tower is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

In front of the building, a centurion led more than a dozen soldiers to prevent other people from approaching.

Zhu Luo walked over with Chen Hao, and more than a dozen soldiers saluted in unison.

A group of people entered Tianxiang Tower.

More than a dozen soldiers "selected" by Bai Lang for Chen Hao stayed on the first floor.

Zhu Luo asked Chen Hao and He Kui to go up to the second floor.

From the first floor to the second floor, the girls with heavy makeup were all excited when they saw Chen Hao.

Chen Hao pretended to be indifferent and kept his eyes straight.

Tang Xian told him that Tianxiang Tower in various places in Daxia was not only a place for sex and sex, but also an important channel for the imperial court to collect intelligence, and was responsible for supervising civil and military officials in various places.

In any Tianxiang Tower, he must try his best to show the style of the Third Young Master, and must not be careless or lax.
