Leading a group of infantry, the person checking the talisman at the city gate was a man wearing a standard military uniform with a corner of his right ear missing.
He was not a stranger, so he naturally recognized Wang Wu who was escorting the team.
Wang Wu got off his horse and gave him his hand.
They may not have known each other since they were both in the Baima Yi army in the past, but since Yijing's breakout, the remaining members of the Baima Yi army have been less than 300.
There were both breakouts and battles, and the soldiers were very skilled and close to each other.
Wang Wu took out the talisman letter from his arms and handed it to the man with missing ears for inspection.
Zhao Yun was very strict in managing the army, and they did not waive the procedures because of their special relationship.
Although he had expected that the person in the car was Mrs. Gongsun, the man with the missing ear was still a little surprised when he actually took the talisman letter and checked it.
Just as he was about to cross the horse to greet him, he saw Wang Wu making a special gesture to him.
This was a code for communication among the military, telling him to keep quiet.
The man with the missing ear was stunned for a moment, then nodded, handed back the talisman letter in his hand as if it were normal, and waved his hand, "Pass!"
Wang Wu nodded at him, got on his horse again, and slowly drove Gongsun Yan's motorcade into the city with a group of guards.
Watching them enter the city gate, a soldier came up next to him. When he asked, he was forced back by the superior's stern gaze.
"Next!" The man with missing ears stood in front of the city gate and shouted to the crowd entering the city who were talking about it.

…
At the moment when the two cars entered the gate of Lulong County, Gongsun Yan only saw the small red dot in his right field of vision flashing several times.
She held a small piece of dog biscuit and teased Gongsun Cheng with his hands.
She knew that the system would never let her go easily.
In the past, I only occasionally triggered some one-time reward tasks such as spring plowing and improving seeds. I didn't expect that as soon as I entered Lulong County, so many tasks were triggered at once.
Among them is the task of building 300,000 material points at Lulongsai Pass.
Before the autumn harvest? Gongsun Yan thought and poked the puppy that was biting the dog biscuit with his finger.
Since Guzhu recruited idle farm laborers in the form of taking care of food, various wall construction projects have been carried out.
Many farmers in the village no longer open fires at home, but come to the construction site to work and eat.
Although this also breeds laziness in some people.
However, because the managers were very strict in calculating labor hours according to the system, there was no big trouble.
But Gongsun Yan's daily harvest of material points has been increasing, and he is no longer as tight as he was a month ago.
Now she is earning more than 10,000 points a day, so 300,000 material points won't make her too excited.
What concerned her was the time given in the task—autumn harvest.
Gongsun Yan was unable to investigate the origin or principle of the system. The mechanism of creating various materials out of thin air and distributing them regardless of distance was beyond her ability to figure out.
However, the tasks generally given by the system are never aimless.
In the old days, the autumn harvest in the North took place in the middle of the eighth lunar month.
But according to custom, the Hu people usually go south in September, but I don’t know whether the Wuhuan people or the Xianbei people who come to Lulongsai by then will be people, or a combination of both.
Time is not tight.
As for the mysterious gift packages, Gongsun Yan was looking forward to it, but she didn't care that much. The system would only send her bits and pieces.
On the contrary, she paid more attention to the urban construction gift package from Lulong City Construction. She would only make money if she could get building materials such as cement and steel bars.
Building materials such as cement and steel bars are relatively expensive in the system.
After piloting various projects in Guzhu, a small group of reinforced concrete hydraulic workers have been trained. They don't understand the principles of cement, but they still have no problem following the construction process.
At that time, Luronsai will be called in and a group of workers will be brought out. In terms of material supply, plus the thousands of workers originally in Luronsai, it will not be a big problem to build a relatively rough steel-concrete pass.
You can even build the Great Wall of Qin and Chidao by the way.
What's more troublesome now are the soldiers.
The population of Lulong County is too small. Even if they are forced to join the army, they will only get some skinny farmers.
Such soldiers can only be used as cannon fodder when sent to the battlefield.
Now we can only look at what Zhao Yun said before, luring them with the big market, and seconding some workers from various large households in Lulong County to go smoothly.
Thinking of Gongsun Yan, he sighed.
Gongsun Cheng had long been accustomed to her sudden daze and sigh, so he held the puppy in his arms and opened the curtain to see Lulong County.
Although Lulong County's infrastructure is rubbish, many merchants from aristocratic families have established shops or warehouses in the county.
The car drove past the rickety thatched cottages on the periphery and entered the center.
There were more and more pedestrians on the road. In addition to the traffickers and footmen in brown cloth blouses, there were also some Confucian scholars with high hats and sleeves, and some rangers in ragged clothes with swords on their waists.
Pedestrians walking through the streets have to finish their business and return home before the streets are locked under the curfew at night.
Wang Wu dismounted and stopped a passerby, asking for the location of the county government office.
The person who was stopped was a little unhappy at first, but Wang Wu and the group of people behind him obediently pointed out the direction.
The government office of Lulong County is located in a relatively prosperous area near the west of the city.
There are buildings with whitewashed walls and red tiles on the left and right, but the government office in the middle is in an astonishingly dilapidated state.
Gongsun Yan carefully opened the curtain and took a look.
Although the courtyard wall of the county government office is higher than the building next to it, it is stained with marks, and even the red paint on the gate is peeling off.
If it weren't for the Huan Gate made of two Huan watches and a drum in front of the door, it wouldn't look as bright as the trading house on the roadside when we came here.
In the veranda of the county government office, the clerk guarding the government office saw a group of carriages and horses approaching and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.
The tone was quite polite.
"I'd like to inform Mr. Zhao County that an old friend of Lone Bamboo is here to visit." Wang Wu said politely.
In fact, Wang Wu can be regarded as a nominal meritorious official, but he has never been to the government office, and even if he takes out Yinsui, he will not be able to do it.
What's more, Gongsun Yan, who was supposed to marry and observe filial piety, appeared here at this time, so it was not easy to keep it public.
The young official looked at Wang Wu and others and asked politely: "May I ask your surname?"
"I, Wang Wu."
"That's it. It's a pity that you came down by chance. Mr. Zhao County went out early in the morning and is not in the house at this time."
In the past few days, the officials at the Yamen Pavilion of this mansion have also received countless people who came to visit with gifts.
Previously, he had accepted some bribes and secretly brought the steward in to report the situation. He was scolded and beaten several times.
My back still hurts a bit today. Although I saw the person coming here with bright clothes and armor, I didn't dare to make any presumptuous decisions like last time. I just asked a young boy to go ahead and report it.
Not long after the young man entered, he came out in a hurry, followed by a person.
