Juan'er had already packed her small bag and was saying goodbye to her grandfather. Her eyes were red, and tears were welling up in her eyes. Old Man Ding caressed Juan'er's beautiful hair and said reluctantly, "Juan'er served Master well. Being able to follow such a good master is a blessing from my previous life!"
Juan'er nodded and said, "Grandfather, can't you come with us?" Old Man Ding shook his head, and said: "We still need grandfather for the things here, grandfather cannot leave. You don't have to worry, since the master has already spoken, nothing will happen to grandpa. We will definitely reunite in the future. " Juan'er started sobbing.
"Juan'er, it's time to go!" someone shouted from outside.
Old Man Ding immediately said: "Let's go! Otherwise, the team will have to leave! " Juan'er reluctantly left. After getting on the waiting carriage, he waved goodbye to his grandfather. And then, the carriage followed the group towards the north gate.
When the citizens of the city heard that Chen Lang and the others were about to leave, they all came to send them off. The atmosphere was depressing, and the citizens reluctantly watched as the troops left. Many of the people carried wine, eggs, cooked meat and other food along the streets to the soldiers. The people loved them so much that they, the soldiers, did not want to leave.
Fifteen thousand men headed north along the Yangtze. On the way, he received news that the Guangzong xanthopanax s had already been defeated. Zhang Jiao died, and the Guangzong xanthopanax s were disintegrated, as they ran and died. The Zhang Bao's xanthopanax s were surrounded and annihilated by Zhu Jun, while Zhang Bao was killed. The two strongest xanthopanax s' main forces vanished like smoke in thin air.
Chen Lang's army had reached the borders of the Xinye. When they received the news that the and the central army of Zhu Jun's army had defeated the xanthopanax belonging to Zhang Mancheng, Zhang Mancheng was killed by the Nanyang Grand Guard Qin Jie. Other than fleeing into the forest, that group of xanthopanax s had also been turned into ashes.
Seeing that Zhang Man Cheng's side had been destroyed, Chen Lang stopped at the Xinye and waited for the orders from the imperial government. Not long after, a government messenger arrived, bringing with him large amounts of the imperial guards' banners and armors. The clothes that Zhang Lang was wearing were changed on the spot, the entire army looked completely new. At the same time that the imperial government's messenger brought a large amount of resources, he also brought an order from the imperial government. The imperial government, seeing that there were still a large amount of scattered xanthopanax in Jingzhou, decided to temporarily keep Zhang Lang's imperial guards there as a precaution.
Chen Lang and the rest returned to the tent. Chen Lang and the others did not enter the Xinye city, but instead, they garrisoned their troops on a high ground outside the city.
Gan Ning suggested: "I see that nothing will happen to us recently, why don't we go to the Jingzhou to take a look! I heard that the Jingzhou is very prosperous! " Guan Yu said: "Although the Yellow Bandits's main force has been annihilated, there are still many who have escaped the net, how can we relax!" Gan Ning curled his lips and said snappily, "Senior Yun, you're good at everything, just that you're a little too serious!"
Chen Lang said: "Disorder of yellow napkin has just calmed down, we should still be a bit more cautious. In this period of time, the army was on alert for further training. "We'll talk about it after this period of time." The generals cupped their fists in response.
A personal guard officer ran in and cupped his fists as he said, "Reporting to General, Jingzhou's emissary from Mu Liu Biao has come to reward the troops."
Chen Lang said: "Of course." The military officer nodded and ran down the stairs. After a while, he brought in a middle-aged man who wore a maroon robe. He looked refined and refined.
Seeing the imposing manner of Chen Lang and the rest, he could not help but be shocked, and immediately bowed: "Jingzhou, don't drive Kuai Liang to meet the general."
Chen Lang laughed: "Master Shang, there is no need to be so courteous."
Kuai Liang straightened his back, and with a face full of smiles, he said: "When our master heard that the general's garrison was here, he specially ordered me to bring the meat and wine army here, some insignificant items are disrespectful!"
Chen Lang laughed: Jingzhou Liu is too polite! On the other hand, I, this guest, am truly sorry for not being able to meet Master due to the heavy workload of the military! "
Kuai Liang replied: "General is too serious."
Chen Lang pointed to the right side of Wu Tuo and said: "Master Shi, please sit and speak!" Kuai Liang expressed his thanks and walked in front of Wu Wu Zi and sat down. My master is extremely grateful that the general is able to travel a thousand miles to rescue the Jingzhou. However, Zhang Mancheng has already been annihilated. I wonder what the general plans are for now? "
Chen Lang said: "The imperial government has ordered for our clan to stay in Jingzhou just in case."
Kuai Liang asked with a puzzled expression: "Now that Zhang Mancheng has been annihilated, I wonder where this came from?"
Chen Lang laughed: Although the Yellow Bandits's main force has been destroyed, there are still a large amount of remnants scattered throughout the mountain and countryside. At this time, if you are not careful, I am afraid that the Disorder of yellow napkin will reignite from the ashes! For that reason, the imperial government has specially ordered our division to stay in Jing Xiang. "
Kuai Liang pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "The considerations of the imperial government are truly thorough. With General here, we Jing Xiang Jiu County will be able to rest easy. " Chen Lang laughed.
Kuai Liang stood up, cupped his fists and bowed to Chen Lang, and said: "I still have some matters, I will not disturb the general, farewell." Chen Lang cupped his fists and said: "Master, please take care." Then he turned to Guan Yu and said, "Senior Yun, help me send off my master." Guan Yu immediately sent his husband out of the camp.
After a while, Guan Yu came back and praised: "I had long heard that Jingzhou Liu Biao was a royal descendant of the Han Room, he was gentle and refined, as expected of her reputation!"
Chen Lang laughed and asked, "Does Senior Yun really think that Jingzhou Liu sent this Kuai Liang out just to reward us?" Everyone was startled, they did not understand what Chen Lang meant.
Chen Lang stroked his chin and laughed: "This Kuai Liang is obviously here to spy on us. That Jingzhou Liu is acting in the name of rewards, but she actually wants to know why we are still staying in his territory. "
The three of them looked at each other, Guan Yu asked in confusion: "What's the point of him doing this?"
Chen Lang looked at the three of them and said, "It's very simple. Jingzhou Liu treats the Jing Xiang Jiu County as his own territory and us outsiders make him feel very uncomfortable. " The three of them came to a realization, Guan Yu frowned: "Jingzhou Liu actually had this thought, it is truly surprising!" Gan Ning said with a cold smile, "Yun Chang, you are too upright! In fact, weren't all the officials of the world thinking the same thing? If it were not for the fact that I'm afraid of losing my head, I'm afraid the officials from all over the country would want to have a taste of being the emperor! " Guan Yu couldn't help but frown. What Gan Ning had said made him very depressed, but he couldn't refute it; Chunyu Qiong, on the other hand, didn't seem to feel anything, as if these things had nothing to do with him.
A personal guard officer ran in, cupped his fists and reported: "General, Jingzhou Water Army's general, General Cai Mao requests to see you."
In Chen Lang's mind, the image of Cao Cao Cao, who was in front of him looking like a servant immediately appeared, and he muttered: "What is he doing?" He raised his head and said to the officer: "Of course." "Yes." The military officer replied before sprinting down the stairs. Moments later, a young man walked in, clad in a golden robe. He was extremely handsome. Chen Lang was startled, the image of Cai Mao in front of him was completely different from the one in his memories. The Cai Mao in his memories was just a wretched and ugly little villain, but the Cai Mao in front of him was actually tall and handsome, like an elegant young noble.
Cai Mao bowed towards Chen Lang: "Greetings General."
Chen Lang stood up and returned the greeting, then laughed: "You do not have to be so polite, Regional Commander, in terms of rank, I cannot compare to you." As the commander of the Jing Xiang Jiu County, Cai Mao's rank was equivalent to a general of the imperial government. Naturally, he was a few ranks higher than Chen Lang.
Cai Mao laughed, "General is too modest, I am only a general of the local army. No matter how high my rank is, how can I be compared with a general like the general, who is the general of the imperial personal army?"
Chen Lang laughed: "I think we should not bother with pleasantries and sit down to talk." Cai Mao nodded, walked to the left side of the table and sat down. Chen Lang returned to his seat.
Cai Mao cupped his fists and said: "Ten days from now will be our Jingzhou's traditional ceremony, the Autumn Harvest Worship Ceremony. I have come under the orders of my Lord to invite General to participate in the Autumn Harvest Sacrifice Ceremony, and I hope that General can enjoy the show."
Chen Lang cupped his fists: "Jingzhou Liu is too infuriating! "Just a moment ago, they even sent people to work, and now, they've even sent a general to invite them. I am truly flattered!" Cai Mao laughed: "My master has always been a hospitable person, and a general is a rare esteemed guest, my master naturally values him highly! But I wonder if the general can honor us? " Chen Lang cupped his fists and said: "Jingzhou Liu is so kind, but I am flattered, and did not show any respect! Please inform Jingzhou Liu that this humble one will pay a visit to Jingzhou Liu before the Autumn Sacrifice Ceremony! " Cai Mao cupped his fists in joy: "If that's the case, I will take my leave." As he spoke, he stood up. Chen Lang also stood up. The two of them bowed to each other as Chen Lang bid for Guan Yu to send him off.
Gan Ning could not help but laugh: "I saw that Jingzhou Liu was afraid of wolf brother, so she came eagerly to please wolf brother!" Chunyu Qiong nodded in agreement.
Chen Lang laughed: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. This Liu Biao is not an easy opponent, I'm afraid there will not be a good feast this time! "
Chunyu Qiong had an expression of confusion, but stared at him and scolded: "Could it be that the old man wants to harm wolf brother?!" Chunyu Qiong was shocked, and asked: "He dares to scheme against General Yu Lin?"
Chen Lang was startled for a moment, then laughed and waved his hand: "I would not commit murder, but..." Chen Lang revealed a pondering look.
Guan Yu walked in and frowned: "Big Brother, I think this Cai Mao doesn't look like a good person!"
