Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

There was a burst of cold rain at dawn, and in the early morning of the second day, a thin layer of ice formed on the green bricks in the city, which was wet, cold and slippery.

Bai Xiuchuan walked on such a road.

His footsteps did not slip, and were still steady as usual.This is the result of his years of training, even if the soles of his feet are on ice, it is as smooth as walking on the ground.

He's here on patrol.Every morning, he and his elder brother would take turns to go up the tower to patrol and pay tribute to the night watch soldiers.

It is precisely because of the personal care of the two young generals that the morale of Jiang Yu's defenders is particularly high.

However, even though he is also a general, Bai Xiuchuan's demeanor is still not comparable to that of his elder brother.Bai Yunfeng was able to maintain his composure in front of thousands of soldiers and calmly give orders, but Bai Xiuchuan was not good at talking with soldiers, as long as he spoke more than three sentences, he would have to type up a full manuscript.

On the way to the tower, he repeated the manuscript again, when a figure in a green shirt came into view.

The man also saw him, and raised his hand to say hello: "Xiuchuan."

This loud call immediately smashed the words in his stomach into thin air.

He gathered himself together, stepped forward and said, "Brother Dongqing, did you get up so early today?"

Di Dongqing said: "I don't feel very sleepy, so I might as well come out for a walk."

Because of the fate of hunting ghosts together in Xiling Town, the two have a closer relationship than others.Therefore, Di Dongqing was more relaxed in front of Bai Xiuchuan, and did not hide the tiredness in his expression.

Bai Xiuchuan saw his exhaustion, lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and said, "I'm going to inspect the tower, do you want to go and have a look together?"

"Okay." Di Dongqing agreed happily.

The two of them crossed the wet bluestone road together and headed towards the city gate.The main road runs through the city. During the Spring Festival a few days ago, this road was crowded with people and it was very lively.But at this moment, there were very few people, showing a deserted state.

Although this street market is deserted, it is not desolate. Birds sometimes stop on the branches beside the road and make singing sounds. The trees that have just sprouted spring buds are wafting a light fragrance. Pacing up and down.

Above the city tower, the scenery of the city became clearer.

Di Dongqing caressed the stone platform, looked into the distance, and said, "I didn't expect Jiangyu City to be so quiet at dawn."

Bai Xiuchuan said: "In half an hour, the vendors who are rushing to Chenji will come out to set up stalls, and it will not be quiet at all."

Di Dongqing's eyes drifted across the market, and said with emotion: "That's not bad."

The hustle and bustle of the day starts from the silence and returns to the silence, and it goes round and round, the crowds come and go, gather and disperse, the seasons change, and the years increase - for Bai Xiuchuan, life is like this There's nothing special about it that deserves attention.

However, Di Dongqing was extremely fascinated by it.The breeze ruffled his hair, causing him to narrow his eyes slightly.His eyes slowly swept over every corner of the market, as if gazing at a treasure, and he had a panoramic view of the city under his feet.

Bai Xiuchuan said: "If I knew you liked it so much, I would have brought you here earlier."

Di Dongqing was startled, turned to the people around her, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered that I used to like to climb high and look far away, but I always looked far away and never cherished the scenery in front of me."

His tone was flat but deep, even Bai Xiuchuan could hear his sadness.

Now he is a well-known medical hero, and his stories are spread everywhere in Jiangyu City, but these reputations have not brought him happiness.

A neigh brought the two of them back to reality.

The city tower has two sides, one side is adjacent to the peaceful city, and the other side is bordered by the remote mountains.The neighing of the horse came from the direction of the mountains.

There were two people who came, Qu Ying and another soldier.The two got off their horses, climbed up the tower in a panic, and came to Bai Xiuchuan.

When the soldiers saw the general, they didn't even bother to salute, saying: "It's bad, Yuchang's army broke through the Liulong Bridge and came to Jiangyu to take people."

Liulong Bridge is located on Yushui.

Yushui separates Liangzhou from Yuzhou. On both sides of the river, there are lofty mountains and peaks, withered pines hanging upside down. If you want to go to Anyi, the shortest way is to take the Liulong Bridge.

The Six Dragons Bridge was built after Master Baihou came to Jiangyu. It took two cold and hot days and employed more than a hundred craftsmen. The final result is a wonderful workmanship. The bridge deck spans a hundred feet of cold river, wide and flat, like six giant dragons. Keep pace with the mountains and rivers.

With this bridge, the caravan travels to and from Anyi, reducing the detours of at least five days.The defenders also set up a pass by the bridge and sent a battalion of soldiers and horses to guard it all year round.

The soldier who followed Qu Ying to report was one of them.

When Bai Xiuchuan saw the expression of the person coming, he realized the seriousness of the situation, and hurriedly asked: "Even the Yuchang army can't arrest the people in private. Do they have military seals and military orders?"

The soldier nodded and said, "Everything is available."

Bai Xiuchuan was startled, and subconsciously turned his head to look for his brother, but Bai Yunfeng was not there, and beside him were only the bewildered Di Dongqing and the panting Qu Ying.

He took a deep breath, regained his composure, and asked, "How many people are here?"

The soldier said: "There are 23 people in total, and the leader is a hundred households."

Bai Xiuchuan asked again: "Did you take any action to stop it?"

Hearing this, the soldier's face paled immediately, and he lowered his head and said, "No, we all... didn't dare to stop, so we moved out of the way, we were reckless..."

Bai Xiuchuan stroked his chest and said, "That's good, at least no innocent people will be affected."

The soldier on the opposite side was stunned, then raised his head again, and looked at the second young master of the Bai family in surprise.

Bai Xiuchuan then asked: "What is the identity of the arrested people, can you ask me?"

The soldier nodded immediately and said: "It is said that a group of rogues escaped from Anyi, and I copied down the military status." He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, flattened it and presented it.

It was written on the paper—the leader of the bandit, Liang Xiao, did not know how to repent, and repeatedly broke the ban, so he is hereby arrested.

Seeing the name, Bai Xiuchuan was startled, pulled Qu Ying aside, and asked in a low voice, "Liang Xiao? Is he from Changfeng Pavilion?"

Qu Ying said: "That's right, it is Liang Xiao, the owner of the Changfeng Pavilion."

"A few days ago, you asked him to go to the capital to inquire about his mother?"

"Yes."

The eyes of the two met, and their eyes sank at the same time, Qu Ying frowned deeply, while Bai Xiuchuan clenched his five fingers.

It has been less than ten days since the letter of invitation to send troops was handed out. Although it was not expected to be approved smoothly, no one expected that the turmoil would come so quickly.

Bai Xiuchuan asked, "Does anyone else know about Liang Xiao's mission?"

Qu Ying said: "No, the last meeting, except for the master, the young master and His Royal Highness, no one else was present."

Bai Xiuchuan said: "It must have been betrayed by the people of Changfeng Pavilion. We have to try to rescue him from trouble."

Qu Ying's eyes froze, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Second young master, be careful, we have raised the banner of loyalty to gain a firm foothold in the open, and the secret relationship with Changfeng Pavilion must not be exposed, otherwise, it will definitely be revealed. It will be detrimental to the future if it becomes a handle."

Bai Xiuchuan said: "I understand, but they risked themselves for the sake of their mother, how can we stand by and watch."

Qu Ying said: "Let me go, I will find a way..."

Bai Xiuchuan saw his gray hair from years of hard work, shook his head and said, "That won't work, the people of Yuchang Army know you, and they will definitely trouble you. Besides, the wind and cold haven't recovered yet, so we can't go to war."

The two were arguing, and a voice said: "Why don't you let me go."

It's Di Dongqing.

Qu Ying looked at him, frowned and said, "But you are alone, how are you going to deal with Yuchang's army?"

Di Dongqing was not in a hurry, but said calmly: "Nowadays, everyone in Jiangyu City respects me as a hero, and I can't insult this name. If you don't act like a hero, when will you wait?"
