"That's natural. Mr. Hou and I are close friends. Of course we understand Mr. Hou's loyalty. Don't worry, my dear nephew, I will protect Mr. Hou from any worries."
Hou Yuelin's face was gloomy and he couldn't say a word.
He didn't expect Bai Song to act so quickly. Before he could think of how to cause trouble for Bai Song, Bai Song took the lead and came up with such a confession that forced him to leave.
Bai Song left his confession behind and walked away lightly. There were still many things to deal with in Jingzhou City.
Seeing Bai Song leaving, the deputy general next to him picked up the confession and crumpled it into a ball, and said angrily: "This is that person's treacherous plot. This confession must be false! How could the incident in Jingzhou be blamed on the old general?"
Hou Yuelin sneered and looked back at the speaker: "So what? Even if you know it's fake, what can you do?"
The deputy general was speechless and stamped his foot angrily: "Literati are despicable."
Hou Yuelin smiled bitterly and said: "No wonder he is so powerful at such a young age. Even my father is afraid of him. When I saw him today, his methods are indeed extraordinary. I am not his opponent yet, so I should leave early."
Hou Yuelin left earlier than expected. He led his troops out of the city overnight. This guy's final departure was a little foreshadowing for Jingzhou.
Now that there is no army to suppress the situation in Jingzhou City, there may be another mutiny, and then the importance of leading troops will be reflected.
But Hou Yuelin also knows that the probability of another disaster in Jingzhou City is very low.
It is true that Jingzhou City gradually became stable under the management of Bai Song.
Originally I only planned to stay in Jingzhou for a short time, but I didn't expect that my stay would last for five days.
Five days was a short time for the people of Jingzhou, but the people all saw the sincerity shown by the court when Bai Song presided over the overall situation.
While the imperial court was fulfilling its promise, Mr. Bai also visited many farmlands outside the city, made targeted suggestions on changing the fields and soil, and provided a large number of fruit and vegetable seeds.
I heard that the seeds provided by Master Bai doubled the yield of the fields in Youzhou. All parts of the Tang Dynasty rushed to introduce them. However, Jingzhou was far away and there was no way to obtain them.
Now Master Bai has directly given local farmers a batch of the most productive seeds, coupled with the policy of reducing taxes by 70% in the next ten years, which has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people in Jingzhou.
So after only five days, Bai Song's reputation in Jingzhou has reached an unprecedented level. Folks say that Mr. Bai has been kind to Jingzhou for rebuilding, and some people spontaneously send gifts to Bai Song.
The situation is somewhat similar to that of Jiangnan. The Bai Song Dynasty gained people's support at an incredible speed. But this is not a good thing. The people's gratitude is simple and straightforward, but if it is too grateful, it will become a kind of personality worship. The Bai Song Dynasty did not
I like this feeling, but I also know that when similar situations occur in Jiangnan and Jingzhou, it may cause trouble for me.
So Bai Song was planning to leave Jingzhou, and before leaving, he planned to make it clear to Su You that all future policy assistance would be the decision of the court, and he should not let the people form a personality cult.
However, before Bai Song had time to lobby Su about his idea, an unexpected news completely disrupted Bai Song's rhythm.
Five days later at dusk, two female disciples from Lingxiu Palace came to the Villa.
The two girls were tired of life. The moment they saw Bai Song, they both cried and knelt on the ground: "Mr. Bai, save Lingxiu Palace, the palace master is dying!"
"What? Beili is in danger?"
"Princess Danyang united with the Japanese to attack Lingxiu Palace. The palace master fought hard to get me out of the siege with serious injuries. The palace master asked us to come to Mr. Bai for help. We thought we were going to Jiangnan. Fortunately, we found news about Mr. Bai in Jingzhou City.
.”
"Didn't Princess Danyang return to Chang'an? How...why did she attack Lingxiu Palace?"
"We don't know either, but they have Shenwu cannons, Lingxiu Palace... Lingxiu Palace was destroyed to less than half."
"Shenwu Cannon?" Bai Song broke into a cold sweat.
What he was most worried about finally happened, the technology he brought was used on his friends!
"Are there other disciples in Beili? Why not escape?"
"The palace master has destroyed all the divine cannons. Princess Danyang's people are afraid of the palace master's strength and dare not attack. I heard that they are mobilizing more divine cannons to attack. Young Master, please stop them from using the divine cannons at all costs. As long as
Without the Shenwu cannon, Lingxiu Palace can still be defended."
Bai Song didn't have time to think about more details, and immediately called to the two of them: "Let's talk as we walk, do you know where Princess Danyang mobilized the sacred cannon?"
"Chengdu is speeding up production at the moment."
"Go to Chengdu immediately."
For some reason, Bai Song felt nervous and a little excited when he heard that Beili was in trouble.
I didn't expect that a woman as powerful as Bei Li would ask for help from me. This was a once-in-a-lifetime performance opportunity.
A man's desire for expression is only a small part of his heart, and more of it is worry.
With Beili's strength, he needs help, which shows how much trouble he encountered this time.
Bai Song was about to leave Jingzhou City, and Jiumei was also preparing immediately. Only Ouyang Yanran didn't know how to deal with it.
Ouyang Yanran was determined to follow, but the purpose of this trip was to rush, and the journey was not as leisurely as before. However, after all, Miss Ouyang refused to stay, and actually followed Bai Song all the way on horseback.
Seeing Ouyang Yanran clumsily following her on horseback, and even being jolted to the point of vomiting several times, Bai Song's heart softened and he decided to take her with him to Chengdu first and then to Lingxiu Palace.
This woman followed her all the way, and now Bai Song was a little curious. He didn't know what she wanted him to do, and she actually had such perseverance.
The answer to this mystery will not be revealed until Chang'an.
What is more important now is to understand what happened to Lingxiu Palace.
The two female disciples kept talking about what happened to Lingxiu Palace.
It turned out that Beili listened to Bai Song's persuasion and had been in seclusion in Lingxiu Palace during the period when the imperial power was sweeping the world, and his disciples were strictly prohibited from going out.
On the way, a group of Japanese people came to provoke them, but they were quickly defeated by Beili.
I thought those people would be honest, but two months later, seven days ago, those Japanese and imperial troops jointly attacked Lingxiu Palace.
The key is that Shenwu artillery appeared in the local team. After several rounds of shelling, Lingxiu Palace turned into ruins.
Beili also took action after that, one man entered the local camp and destroyed all seven divine cannons.
But in this battle where he entered the enemy alone, the Japanese who provoked him last time took action again. This time, the opponent's strength increased sharply. Beili didn't check his path for a moment. Now he was seriously injured and the situation was very critical.
.
Fortunately, the news that Beili was injured did not spread, and the enemy did not dare to attack directly. The two sides formed a stalemate on Mount Emei where Lingxiu Palace is located.
