Chapter 99 General Respect
A Luo River divides Cangyan into east and west halves, and Qingshui City is the largest city in the plain area west of Cangyan.
The four sides of Qingshui City are surrounded by four large towns, and the population has become increasingly concentrated. In this western Cangyan, no matter who can finally marry into Qingshui City, it is a happy event that is worthy of the envy of the whole village.
But Luochuan did not stay in this city for too long. He arrived the day before. He met with a group of officials from Qingshui City's government officials at the banquet for marrying their son and comforted him. He set off for Xiguguan early the next morning.
As we walked rapidly, the sun was still in mid-air, and the group had already arrived outside Xigu Pass.
Xigu Pass is the westmost point in Lijun and the westmost point in the entire southwest Hanzhou. Here, the endless mountains break a winding but always connected canyon. One end of the canyon is the most important gateway to Cangyan and even the entire southwest Hanzhou, and the other end of the canyon is the gate of the eastern part of Xiyi.
In this narrowest and most steepest section of the canyon, the human race built a thick city wall more than 20 meters high based on the towering peaks on both sides. After generations of thickening, the city wall itself can be regarded as a mountain.
The demon clan built a city wall on the other end of the canyon, so the canyon between the two walls became a wilderness that few people had visited for hundreds of years.
Luochuan and his team rode their horses to stop three miles outside Xigu Pass. They could already see the towering city wall of Xigu Pass. "No wonder there is a town at the foot of this city wall. It really makes people feel safe if you look at this city wall..." He turned his head and saw six people walking out of the pavilion at the intersection of Sancha Road not far away. One of them was his old acquaintance Li Mu.
At this time, Li Muzheng followed the other five people respectfully. The first one looked very young, tall, wearing silver armor, and the red cloak behind him was very eye-catching, but what attracted people more was his eyes, as sharp as an eagle, which made everyone who looked at him had an illusion, just thinking that he was staring at an arrow pointing at him!
The four people following him were also silver armor, but the cloak behind him was black, and the four people had their own characteristics.
The two people who followed the leader were both exaggerated in size. One had dark skin and hair upside down. It was still half of his arm exposed in the cold weather. The other was a little white and was only bronze. The face was bumpy. In addition to the scars, there were many acne marks, which looked quite ferocious.
With these two people following behind, the leader looked much more handsome.
The two that come later make people feel more comfortable to watch. One is already middle-aged, but she still has a beard, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, square face and broad lips, and a blue shirt under the silver armor. She has a certain style of a Confucian general. The other is older, with a slightly cold temperament, narrow eyes and slightly protruding cheekbones, but she is quite stable while walking, making people feel uncomfortable.
Luo Chuan turned over and dismounted, slapped his thighs a few times without embarrassment before he came to meet him with a smile. He waved his hand and asked, "But General Chen Jingzhi, General Chen?"
The handsome man, led by the six men, stopped standing there and saluted, "Last general Chen Jingzhi, have you seen the young master!"
Behind him, two black-faced men looked at each other and saluted them. Among them, the black-faced men called themselves "Prince General Feng Jinkui", while the ferocious one called themselves "Prince General He Ruoxing", was really as famous as his name.
The two strides later went forward to match the two black-faced Han Han and saluted solemnly. Some middle-aged men with Confucian generals called themselves "Primary General Zhao Qingxia" and those with a colder temperament called themselves "Primary General Li Zhongyang".
Finally, it was Li Mu, but he had already knelt on one knee and gave a big gift.
"General Chen, you generals, you don't have to do this," Luo Chuan took a few quick steps and held up the arm of the leader General Chen Jingzhi with his hand, "Although I am also a member of the Luo family, I am now the garrison of Cangyan County. I am just colleagues from the same place with you and you have no subordinates. You can't afford to bow to me. Luo Chuan can't afford to pay respects to me."
Chen Jingzhi nodded in response to Luo Chuan's kindness, and then nodded to the old coachman standing behind Luo Chuan, then glanced over the rest of the people, especially on the young female path and the two Wangchuan sword cultivators, but he just nodded again to indicate.
A soldier led the horses over, and Chen Jingzhi got on the horse with Luo Chuan and others, and walked slowly towards the distant city wall. "Jingzhi went north from Taiming City. When he arrived in Ganyuan, he heard the people talk about the name of the young master, all of which were respectful and beautiful words," he smiled at Luo Chuan, "and then he realized that the young master would win the hearts of the people soon after he came here. He really did some great things under pressure. He respected him."
Luo Chuan shook his head and said, "At best, it's just a correction."
Chen Jingzhi looked at Luochuan again, then smiled and lowered his head and shook, "Young Master is coming from the Xiluo River Valley?"
"Yes," Luo Chuan smiled a little, "Although General Chen has just entered the morning face, the news is already quite well-informed."
Chen Jingzhi shook his head and said, "It's just because General Zhao left the entire scout system to me. Otherwise, Cangyan would have been deaf and blind when I first came," he paused and continued to ask, "I heard General Zhao talk about the Xiluo River Valley. He said that if the problem could be solved there, the young master's reputation in Cangyan would be unprecedented."
Luo Chuan did not respond directly to his words, but looked at the city wall that was getting closer and closer in the distance and sighed, "No wonder there are people living in this place just a few miles outside Xigu Pass. This city wall really gives people a sense of security," he turned his head to look at Chen Jingzhi, who was riding on the horse next to him and smiled, "General Chen, I don't want much from the county people. If you keep them safe, I will let everyone have enough food. This is a paradise for them." He looked at the city wall again, "But the chaos is approaching, and we still have a lot to do to keep this paradise."
Chen Jingzhi bowed his fists slightly and bowed on the horse, "I would like to ask my son for advice."
The black-faced general Feng Jinkui, who was following behind the two, curled his lips disdainfully and turned his head to look at the distant mountains.
"It's not a question of giving advice, but I can tell General Chen what I think," Luo Chuan nodded and pondered for a moment, "I don't know the military affairs, but the Taiming Army and the Cangyan Army are both elites from the county. I think there is no worry inside and outside, I just want to talk about military rations. When I came, I had already asked the county magistrate that there is not much grain reserve in the western battlefield now, and the daily consumption of tens of thousands of soldiers is not small, but it depends entirely on a supply line and the grain storage in the Cangyan City outside the Cangyan City. In the past, it was fine, but now the great demon can fly to Zhongjing City. What is a small Cangyan City outside the Cangyan City? Xigu Pass must have its own grain storage place."
Chen Jingzhi looked at Luo Chuan with a slightly surprised look, "The grain storage and supply on various battlefields have always been the responsibility of government agencies in various places. The young master is sure... to let the western battlefield store grain on its own?"
