"I've long heard of the General Tang's great name. I've seen it today, it's truly an extraordinary feat. I'm impressed, my brother!"
The position of the governor of the fortress was not lower than Tang Yin, but his words of flattery made Tang Yin feel goosebumps all over his body.
With this kind of city defense and this kind of defender general, he was really worried that the Mo Country would not even last half a day before being trampled to the ground once the Mo Country army arrived.
But this was not something he should be concerned about, and he was lazy to worry about it either. Tang Yin chuckled twice, but did not say much.
There were no residences within the Ba Pass, all of them were military barracks, and the general's mansion was also very simple and crude. A simple place to stay, made from a mixture of rocks and piles of soil, looked like it could be blown down if the wind blew stronger.
did not bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point, "General Ying, when might Your Highness arrive at the Ba Pass?"
"About this …" Ying Bu held his chin, considered for a long time and said: "I think he will arrive in a day or two."
"Estimate?" Tang Yin was obviously not satisfied with such an ambiguous reply. He asked: "Could it be that your highness and the Mo Country haven't sent anyone to report this matter in advance?"
Ying Bu laughed and shook his head: "I don't think so. I haven't received any news about this yet."
Some vague words like 'estimate', 'seems' were all taboo. Looking at Ying Bu who was full of smiles, Tang Yin really did not understand how he managed to sit on the Ba Pass and guard the position of a general.
could not get the answer he wanted from him, plus the fact that his impression of him was not very good, he only spoke a few words before taking his leave and returning back to the Legion.
There was no Tavern in the Ba Pass, so he and Qiu Zhen stayed in the regiment's camp.
During the meal, Tang Yin asked: "Ying Bu doesn't look too good!"
"Ha ha!" Qiu Zhen smiled in understanding. He sighed lightly and said: "The Ba Pass's conditions are too poor, the atmosphere is tense yet there aren't any wars. Who would be willing to hold back such talent?"
He held up the wine jar, and separately poured a bowl of wine for Tang Yin and himself. After that, he took a large gulp, and continued, "Currently, there are two positions in the Feng Country that no one strives for, the one ranked first, the Pingyuan County that ranks first, and next to it, the two cities, five towns, and several villages in the county, may be harassed and attacked by the Morfeas cavalry at any time. Within a short ten years, just the county guards have changed six times, and among them, five of the county guards have been wounded and have perished.
"Oh!" "So that's how it is." Hearing this, Tang Yin nodded his head. No wonder Ying Bu looked unkempt, slovenly, and depressed, no wonder he was so passionate when he saw. It was probably impossible for him to see a new face even after many years in Ba Pass. Now, he actually started to sympathize with Ying Bu. If he was trapped here, he reckoned that he would not be much better off than Ying Bu.
Tang Yin asked: "Do we still have meat and wine?"
"There is!" When we came out of Cong City, I had our people prepare quite a bit. " Qiu Zhen laughed.
"That's just nice, prepare some more meat and wine, we'll go eat at the Ba Pass." Tang Yin smiled and stood up.
He came back after leaving, and it was beyond Ying Bu's expectations. Especially after seeing him bring the meat and wine over, Ying Bu was even more shocked.
Without needing Ying Bu to do anything, Tang Yin placed the meat and wine onto the table and waved his hand: "General Ying, you won't mind drinking wine with me, will you?"
Ying Bu regained his senses, he shook his head and anxiously asked: "Why would I do that?!" As he spoke, he sat down as fast as he could, as if Tang Yin was going to take the meat and wine away from him. First, he grabbed a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and then he lifted the wine bowl, as if he was going to drink, but just as the bowl was about to reach his mouth, he suddenly froze. He chuckled dryly and looked at Tang Yin and said, "General Tang, you are not allowed to drink in the army, you … Are you trying to test me? "
Tang Yin laughed out loud, picked up his wine bowl and said, "General Ying, I will do it as a form of respect!" As he spoke, he drained the bowl of wine with a 'gulp'.
Feng Ren's personality was tough, and his wine was spicy. When he drank it, it was like there were hundreds of knives slicing his intestines, but when he drank it, it was extremely enjoyable and enjoyable.
Seeing that he had finished the alcohol first, Ying Bu did not hesitate anymore and raised his head to drink too. He exclaimed, "Good wine, what a good wine!" While he was speaking, he looked at Tang Yin and smiled, "I remember the last time we drank, it should have been last year. It's been two or three years! "
Seeing him smile, Tang Yin felt sad. He picked up the jar of wine and poured it into a cup, and said: "Drink!"
"F * ck!"
"F * ck!"
The two of them clinked their cups and drained the wine in the bowl in one gulp. Qiu Zhen's alcohol tolerance was not bad, but he was still not comparable to the two of them. After eating a few bowls, his entire face was flushed red, showing how drunk he was.
On the other hand, Tang Yin and Ying Bu drank cup after bowl, and after a short while, the two full jugs of wine were finished.
Tang Yin's capacity for alcohol was extremely good, he was not even slightly drunk yet. Although his capacity for alcohol was also good, he could still speak while being a bit straight forward.
He patted Tang Yin's shoulders and shook his head as he sighed, "Brother Tang, I'm really envious of you. Being able to work in the capital is not like me. At the table, they talked only about personal matters and not government affairs. They even called each other 'brother'.
"Why didn't you apply for the Imperial Court and transfer them?" Tang Yin opened a jar of new wine.
"Why isn't there one?!" Ying Bu shook his head like a rattle, and said: "When I first came here, I had almost always applied for the transfer order every month, but every time I sent it to the capital, it would always be like a rock sinking into the ocean, and I finally got a reply.
"Now, I completely understand, applying for the transfer order is a waste of time. Only madmen would be willing to come to this damn place." Ying Bu drank another bowl of wine, laughed bitterly: "Sometimes I really hope that the great army of Mo Country can attack us, and then I'll be completely free from it. But I can't be at ease with those ten thousand over brothers of mine, they must be suffering even more than me …"
Tang Yin could understand the difficulties Ying Bu and the other guards had to face. However, he could do nothing, and could not help in any way, so he picked up his wine bowl and said: "Drinking too much is good for you! "Cheers!"
"A single drunkenness will solve a thousand worries. Well said, let's do it!"
On this day, Ying Bu was drunk. Tang Yin was slightly drunk, but a simple alcohol drink caused the two of them to form a relationship, and in the future, Ying Bu would truly help Tang Yin a lot.
The Grand Princess from the Empire's royal family didn't make Tang Yin wait for long. On the morning of the next day, Princess Qian's group arrived at the Ba Pass.
The first thing they noticed was the guard on the tower, looking at the group of Flag s from afar, the guards were so scared that their faces changed, they immediately ran down the city wall to inform Ying Bu.
and Tang Yin were still sound asleep when they heard about a large group of Mo Army s. The two of them had awakened, donned their armor, and hurried up the city walls.
The two of them stood at the top of the city and looked, only to see twenty thousand Cavalry soldiers quickly approaching from the distance. The group was fighting with Mo Country Flag s, and as the distance between them grew closer and closer, they could see even more clearly, this group of cavalry, truly powerful, fully dressed in battle robes, with light armor worn by light knights on top of their helmets. With such a fast speed, this many troops, they were still able to maintain an orderly formation, just the sound of it alone was enough to intimidate people.
What an elite cavalry unit! Tang Yin did not know that the Mo Country was known for their cavalry vigor.
"This is not an enemy!" Ying Bu only took a few glances before deciding, "The center of the group has the banner for the Empire, this should be the princess' army!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin's spirit was lifted, he looked carefully, and sure enough, there was a golden Flag in the center of the group. On it, two big words were embroidered on it like flying dragons and dancing phoenixes — — Haotian.
Very quickly, this troop of cavalrymen stopped at an arrow point in front of the Ba Pass, following that, two war horses swiftly rushed out from the midst of the troop, and immediately Second General, dressed in light and light iron armor, with a white tassel on top of their heads, they rushed towards the Ba Pass City like lightning, and one of them shouted loudly: "I am General Liao Gang of the Mo Country Flying Cavalry, I am escorting Your Highness here to allow your general to come out to speak!"
This officer was in his twenties, and his speech was full of confidence, each word loud and clear as a bell.
Indeed! Tang Yin nodded at Ying Bu, and said: "I will welcome the princess. General Ying, stay in the city, just in case something happens!"
"Alright!" Ying Bu reminded them: "Be careful General Tang!"
"Don't worry." While speaking, Tang Yin also quickly ran down the city wall.
Ying Bu crouched at the top of the city and shouted loudly, "I am General Ying Bu, please wait for a moment."
The self-proclaimed young soldier looked up and down at Ying Bu, the corners of his mouth twitched, his face revealed a look of contempt, and without replying, he only snorted once in response.
Not long after, Tang Yin brought Gu Yue, Le Tian and the two Captain along as well as two thousand soldiers out of the city gate.
He spurred his horse to Liao Gang and said, "Your excellency, you can bring the Princess's troops over."
Liao Gang frowned and sized Tang Yin up. He felt that this officer was much more spirited than the one on the wall, and asked: "You are …"
"Feng Country Captain, Tang Yin!"
"Oh!" "So he's just a regiment commander." Lai Gang sneered and said: "It seems that in the battle between Feng Ning and the princess, you have lost miserably. All you can do is send a regiment commander to welcome the princess. How laughable!"
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin chuckled and said: "To protect the safety of Your Highness, just the captain is enough. How can we be like the Your Country, gathering such a large force?
Saying that, Tang Yin's old face reddened, and he said angrily: "This is a sign of respect to your highness, don't tell me you don't even understand this?"
