The South City Wall was much tougher and more perfect than the North City Wall's defense. Even if there was no battle with the Mo Country right now, there were still two whole rows of catapults placed inside the city walls. If a battle were to occur, these catapults would cause incalculable damage to the city's Mo Army s defenses.

Up to the top of the city, looking around, there were piles of rolling logs and rocks piled up like small hills. Packs of arrows were piled up in rows and rows, there was no telling how many of them there were. With this kind of defensive equipment, even if there were tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of enemies attacking the city, it would still be difficult for them to take down Ba Pass in a short period of time.

Under Ying Bu's escort, Tang Yin made a big tour around the city. After he finished looking, he was very satisfied with the perfection of the city guards, and admired Ying Bu's abilities even more in his heart. Feng King Zhan Hua might not necessarily be a talented Monarch, but arranging Ying Bu in the Ba Pass, and even going for seven or eight years straight, that was indeed a correct decision. With Ying Bu here, Ba Pass could indeed become a door for people to rest assured of.

"Sir, if I have done anything wrong, please point it out." Ying Bu said with a serious expression.

Tang Yin laughed, shook his head, and said: "General Ying Bu's ability to defend the city far surpasses mine, the one who should be asking for advice is me, not General Ying Bu."

Ah!" Master is too courteous. " Tang Yin's simple affirmation greatly pleased Ying Bu, and his attitude became more humble.

While following Tang Yin down the city walls, Ying Bu asked curiously: "Master, could it be that you really know how to use troops on me, Windy?"

Tang Yin smiled indifferently and said: "The possibility isn't high, but we have to guard against it." In this period of time, Tang Yin had obtained quite a bit of information regarding Mo Country through the scouting of his Zhenjiang.

Furthermore, it somewhat dispelled the determination to make Shao Bo the crown prince. In addition to that, with's frequent advances and rumors, Shao Ting gradually distanced himself from Shao Bo. Instead, it was once again that he began to pamper his second son, Shao Fang.

At this time, Shao Fang walked towards Shao Ting under Dong Sheng's guidance. He indicated that he did not want to pursue the matter regarding the assassin, and hoped that this matter could end here. Shao Ting was very pleased with Shao Fang's foresight, and could not help but have a whole new level of respect for him. After Shao Fang's injuries slowly healed, Shao Ting gave him a new position, Lieutenant Wei.

The Guard Captain was in charge of the defense of the palace, and was the Supreme Commander of the royal guards. It could be said that the Guard Captain was directly in charge of the military power of the palace, and in all of history, whether it was the Mo Country or the other kingdoms, the Guard Lieutenant had always been the one that the Sovereign trusted the most.

Now that Shao Ting had become a Guard Captain, it could be seen how much trust he had in his. The fact that Shao Bo had been appointed as the crown prince was no longer a guarantee. Instead, it was rather likely that the previously unpopular Shao Fang had suddenly stepped out of the blue and replaced Shao Bo's position in the King Mo's heart.

At this time, the division of Mo Country was much clearer. The ministers led by Dong Sheng supported Shao Fang, while the ministers led by Grand Preceptor, Zhang Rong, and the other ministers supported Shao Bo, while the middle faction of ministers did not participate in either side, calmly watching the changes. On the surface, it looked as if Mo Country were calm and peaceful, as though everything was peaceful and peaceful.

Tang Yin knew the situation like the back of his hand. He was not worried about Shao Fang, he was worried about Dong Sheng. He said that Dong Sheng supported Shao Fang, and it would be more accurate to say that Dong Sheng supported Mo Country, such a person always took the interests of the country as their starting point, they were fickle, and simply did not have any credibility. Whether or not Dong Sheng would stop from using his Mo Country against the wind soldiers, Tang Yin was also very unsure in his heart.

Now that he saw how well Ying Bu had managed the defense of the Ba Pass, he more or less heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. While walking towards the General's Mansion, Tang Yin asked: "General Ying Bu, where is the Zhong Tian Ruins now?"

Ying Bu was so frightened that he did not dare to leave the city, and he was even less aware of where Zhong Tian had run to. He said with an ugly expression on his face: "Master, this … This lowly general does not know. "

Tang Yin turned to look at him, then stopped and said: "Le Tian, Ai Jia!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Le Tian and Ai Jia anxiously stepped forward and interfered with the greeting.

"Have the two of you found out where Zhong Tian has escaped to?"

"Oh …" Le Tian and Ai Jia looked at each other and answered in unison, "I am sending people to investigate."

It was strange that even the Sky Eye and Earth Web didn't know where Zhong Tian had escaped to. As Zhong Tian and Ning Jun did not dare to travel on the official road, and only traversed through the wilderness, the spies of the Sky Eye and Earth Web did not manage to track them down. Tang Yin paused for a moment, then said to the two of them: "Quickly investigate!" After he finished speaking, he continued to walk toward the General's Mansion.

Once they reached the General's Mansion, and the host was seated, Ying Bu called for the dishes to be served. The Ba Pass's conditions were as harsh as before, they didn't even have wine, and as for the dishes, they couldn't be any simpler. Looking at the plain and simple food that was placed on the table, Ying Bu revealed a face full of shame as he said to Tang Yin: "Master, these are the only things inside …"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin had already waved his hand in understanding, interrupting his words. Then, he looked around at Ying Bu and the other generals under his command, sighing with emotion, "I understand. Over these years, General Ying Bu and the soldiers in the army have suffered greatly in Ba Pass. However, it is precisely because of the presence of the generals and brothers that my Windy South was able to remain as stable as a boulder. "

With these words, Ying Bu and the other Ba Pass Army Generals s nearly cried. Everyone's eyes were red as they cupped their hands towards Tang Yin and said: "Master, you are being too serious."

Ba Pass and Tong Gate were equally important cities, checkpoints and portals to the Feng Country, but up until now, Yan City had always been more important to them, and their attitude towards Ba Pass was practically nonchalant, which also caused the minds of the Ba Pass Army soldiers to be extremely unbalanced. It was precisely because of this reason that although there were many heavy soldiers hoarded within the Ba Pass, when Zhong Tian usurped the position, the Ba Pass soldiers did not even have the slightest bit of opposition to it, and they silently accepted this fact.

Now that Tang Yin had said this, the generals from the Ba Pass all felt that the many years of hardships and hard work they had put in to guard the borders had not been in vain.

Tang Yin said sternly to Ying Bu: "After we eliminate the traitor Zhong Tian, I will go to the imperial palace and transfer General Ying Bu back to the capital to assume his duties."

"Thank you, master!" When he returned to the capital, Ying Bu had no idea how many years he had been hoping for in his heart. His excited body straightened, and he almost jumped from his sitting position. However, he quickly discovered that his subordinates were anxiously looking at him. Ying Bu's heart stirred as he asked, "My Lord, then …. "Then my brothers …"

Tang Yin revealed a bitter smile, and said: "The importance of Ba Pass to me, goes without saying, if we want to transfer General Ying Bu away, it would have already greatly weakened the defense of our Ba Pass. If we transfer the other generals, I'm afraid if something happens to our Ba Pass, there might be a loss!"

Ying Bu understood his concerns, it was true that this was also the reason, but to abandon the brothers who had followed him around for many years and return to the capital by himself was something he could not bear to do, was also the same. Just then, the excitement in Ying Bu's heart decreased. He looked at Tang Yin, then looked at his subordinates, and lowered his head silently without saying a word.

He did not speak, and neither did Tang Yin. As he lowered his head to eat, his eyes rolled around, and no one knew what he was planning.

Seeing that the hall was unusually quiet, the atmosphere also became stifling, all the generals of Ba Pass Army bowed in unison, and smiled at Ying Bu: "General, since Master has the ability to transfer you back to the capital, don't miss this chance!"

"Yes, General, you don't have to worry about us. We have already lived in the Ba Pass for so many years, so if we suddenly return to the capital, we might not be able to adapt, right?"

"Right, right, right! We will just stay in Ba Pass, General need not worry about us. "

The more the generals talked, the more Ying Bu felt unsettled he became. Looking at these generals who were close to him and were close to him, he truly felt unwilling from the bottom of his heart, and even more so, could not bear to see them continue to suffer at Ba Pass. Finally, he steeled his heart, and turned to Tang Yin and said: "I appreciate Master's good intentions, but if you let me return to the capital alone, I can't do it, so I'll stay here to guard Ba Pass with the brothers!"

"General …"

All the generals became anxious after hearing this. Being transferred back to the capital was such a rare opportunity, how could they give it up so easily? All the generals were worried for Ying Bu from the bottom of their hearts.

Ying Bu, on the other hand, was secretly delighted in his heart, as though a flower was blossoming in his laughter. Ying Bu was born to be a defender, and had served as the general of the Ba Pass for seven or eight years, so he was extremely familiar with the environment and the situation here.

However, he also admired the friendship between Ying Bu and the generals under his command. He bit his lips, then laughed lightly and asked: "Does General Ying Bu really want to stay in Ba Pass?"

"Yes!" Lord! This lowly general is willing! " Ying Bu replied without thinking.

"No more thinking?"

Ying Bu laughed, and waved his hand: "There is no need to think about it further."

"Whatever!" Tang Yin nodded his head, and said: "I will report this matter to the imperial government, and let General Ying Bu continue to be the general of Ba Pass. Also..." Pausing for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and spoke faintly: "Other than that, if General Ying Bu is not opposed to it, the soldiers of the Ba Pass Army can also bring their families over to the Ba Pass. If the Ba Pass is not enough, they can settle them in a town near the Ba Pass so that the warriors can reunite with their families from time to time, and no longer suffer the pain of being separated from each other.

When he said this, everyone present was dumbfounded, especially the Ba Pass Generals led by Ying Bu. She even started to suspect if her ears had misheard, and could bring the family members over. This was simply unbelievable.

It had to be known that the Ba Pass was a remote place, far away from the capital. In order to prevent the garrison forces from rebelling or overturning the enemy kingdom, the families of the Generals soldiers in the garrison were all settled in the capital city.
