"dong dong dong"

On a quiet night, there were three rhythmic knocks on the window.

Hearing the sound, Zheng Yuannai, who was lying on the bed, immediately turned over and got out of bed alertly.

Although it was late at night, he still couldn't fall asleep.

As the Lieutenant General of Songhu, he became more anxious as the time of the Japanese pirates' landing drew closer.

There were only two thousand soldiers available in Songhu.

Moreover, among these two thousand people, the one who trained for the longest time was only five months, and the shortest was only two months.

The enemies they had to face were the Japanese pirates who were experienced and extremely ferocious.

What’s even more terrible is that Songhu is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a coastline of more than 400 miles.

He had no idea where and how the Japanese pirates would land this year.

It is really not enough to guard such a long coastline with only two thousand soldiers.

But if they fail to hold on, the people in hundreds of villages and towns in Songhu will be burned, killed, and looted by the brutal Japanese pirates, and by then it will be a hell on earth with families broken and people killed everywhere.

Every call of "General" from the people is filled with the responsibility of protecting.

The burden on his shoulders is as heavy as a thousand pounds. He can accept hardship and fatigue, and can also accept injury or sacrifice, but he is afraid of failure.

Under the dim night light, Zheng Yuannai quickly discovered the extra letter on the table and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

He closed the doors and windows tightly, leaving only a slight gap for ventilation, making it impossible for anyone to get in.

So how did this letter end up on the table?

Such a miraculous method...

A possibility occurred to him and he quickly opened the letter. Sure enough, he saw the bright red seal of the abbot of Cihang Temple on it.

The haze in Zheng Yuannai's heart was suddenly swept away, and he was filled with great joy and excitement.

The master is here!

The abbot had previously promised to send support to Songhu and would personally visit Songhu to inspect the troops he was training.

Now the master has really come!

He quickly put on his clothes and walked into the yard according to the instructions in the letter.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I felt my body rising involuntarily.

When he realized that it was the master's trick, he was not afraid.

I just feel that this feeling is so magical, like flying in the air.

Soon, he climbed over the courtyard wall and came to an empty street, landing steadily.

A slender figure in a light blue Taoist robe appeared before his eyes, his sleeves fluttering in the night wind, as graceful as a fairy.

"Guanzhu!"

Zheng Yuannai knelt down on one knee excitedly and saluted.

"Get up."

Chen Qingzhu's tone was gentle.

Before coming, she had specifically inquired in the city and found out that the new lieutenant-general loved his soldiers like his own sons and had an excellent reputation.

The soldiers under his command were also extremely powerful, well-equipped, and strictly disciplined. Every time they went out of the city for training, their formation was always very neat.

The common people all said that they had never seen such an imposing military household.

Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, Chen Qingzhu was able to infer the current situation of the garrison soldiers through this information.

She was quite satisfied with Zheng Yuannai's achievements in the past six months.

The Zheng family has invested a lot, and their sincerity is enough.

Well, as the real master behind this force, she can't just sit there and let her subordinates figure out everything.

"How does it feel to be on your own in Songhu? Are there any problems that you can't solve on your own?"

She asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Zheng Yuannai couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.

For some reason, he felt as if he was on his first day at the academy when he was a child and saw his father come to pick him up after school.

He felt particularly lost and helpless that day. When he got out of school in the afternoon, his father drove to pick him up in person. He smiled and touched his head and asked:

"How was your day? Did anyone bully my son?"

He couldn't help but throw himself into his father's arms and cry loudly, telling him about the grievances and fear he felt that day.
