After Zuo Ping received the order, he quickly took the talisman letter and ordered several retinues to set off.
After a long journey, the group changed horses and galloped, and finally arrived at the border of Lulong at dusk.
Due to Lulong County's clearing policy, only harvested wheat stubble remained on the fields, and there were no farmers working along the way.
The fatness of the border land is like a request for help, and the snow is coming to the order branch.
The entire Liaoxi County is preparing for the Hu people's march south to invade the border area.
Among them, Lu Long is on the front line.
Letters asking for money, food, war horses, and men, two letters a day, never late.
Zuo Ping looked at the crops in the fields with a look of regret.
He is a veteran of the North, so he can naturally understand the intention of setting up a wall to clear the country.
But few people implement such a simple and efficient policy.
For no other reason than I can't afford it.
We cannot afford the loss of grain harvested early.
Lulong County is not a prosperous place to begin with, so it must be under unimaginable pressure at this time.
No wonder he writes so frequently to ask for support.
Come to think of it, money was really tight, so Lady Yan acted like a scoundrel, begging for things from the master of the house.
Zuo Ping sighed with emotion.
"Who is running a horse here?"
Zuo Ping was urging his horse to move quickly, hoping to enter Lulong City before the curfew, when he heard a sharp shout.
A young man rode up from afar, wearing strange black armor and hanging many bits and pieces.
While looking at the bells and whistles, an aura of luxury hits my face.
Zuo Ping and those who followed behind him slowed down their horses one after another and secretly increased their vigilance.
Although these people in front of them were dressed strangely, they wore the military scout feather logo on their breastplates.
Such a rich and luxurious appearance really doesn't look like a bandit pretending to be one.
Zuo Ping and others do not want to easily conflict with them.
Walking a few feet away, the knights also saw clearly how Zuo Ping and others were dressed.
Although their entire army had replaced their guns with cannons in the past two days and suddenly became rich, they could still recognize the excellent Han army uniforms and armor of Zuoping and others.
After confirming that both sides were Han troops, the tension between the two sides eased slightly, and they stationed their horses and shouted from a distance.
"The Lulong County Government has issued an order that during the war preparations, no one else, except scouts and messengers, is allowed to gallop without any reason."
The ranger team responsible for patrolling and reconnaissance as a mobile force was very long, he said loudly.
Zuo Ping was stunned and hurriedly took out the talisman and the order from his breastplate, "I was ordered to come to Lulong to deliver the order. The order from the Prefecture is here."
After saying this, he handed the warrant to the person on his right who was on guard. With both parties on guard, the person on the horse slowly rode forward.
After checking the authenticity of the warrant, the cavalry commander was also very particular. He took out his tiger head military badge from the weapon bag under the tactical vest and handed it over.
The two teams of men and horses facing each other on the road had just released their alert.
The two cavalry teams did not exchange unnecessary greetings.
They passed by on the wrong horse and each went to perform their own tasks.
The people who followed him looked at the back of the Nashilullong County cavalry galloping away and smacked their lips: "Although they look strange, they are such rich county soldiers!"
Not to mention the county soldiers, even these elite county soldiers are inferior.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the horses those people rode seemed to be much fatter.
It makes people greedy!
Zuo Ping glanced at him sideways: "They are all elite scouts in the army. What's so surprising about their excellent armor?"
I don’t know how long Madam Yan will have to be frugal in order to create this small number of elites.
"Let's go, we must enter the city before the curfew."
The group of troops started galloping again until they came to a sudden stop in front of Lulong City.
At this time, they had encountered two waves of night patrol cavalry, as well as interrogations from sentry posts along the road.
Zuo Ping was nearly sixty years old. He was running all day long and felt a little tired and dizzy.
From a distance, I saw a huge black shadow, vaguely hidden in the night.
"Is this Lulong County?"
Zuo Ping knew that Lulong County was recruiting laborers to overhaul the city.
But the few words that came back from the tip were completely different from what I saw with my own eyes!
At this time, it seems that it is such a major practice?
Zuo Ping almost wondered if he had taken the wrong route and arrived at Sili Luoyang.
How much support did the head of the family give Lady Yan to build such a terrifying wall in a few months?
Looking from afar, the fang-like rings on the city wall are densely formed into cold, hard, irony black clouds.
Zuo Ping was extremely surprised and had some subtle misunderstandings.
He walked forward cautiously, stood at the foot of the city, and conducted another negotiation and inspection.
Zuo Ping and his party were put into the urn through a small crack in the city gate.
At this time, several people had been interrogated all the way and were exhausted physically and mentally.
The night guard at the city gate was extremely polite and ordered people to pass the order back to the county temple, and at the same time told them to rest in the night watch room next to the urn city.
In the county temple, Gongsun Yan would put down his work two hours early every ten days to accompany Gongsun Cheng.
We had dinner with him and played in the garden for a while. After washing, Gongsun Yan, with his hair disheveled and his pajamas on, was lying on his bed, telling him stories.
"I still want to listen." Gongsun Cheng was lying on the quilt, muttering in his mouth and blinking his eyes, but he couldn't stop feeling sleepy and almost fell asleep.
"Okay." Gongsun Yan promised, but did not bother to tell the story. He only patted him gently twice, and he could no longer resist his sleepiness.
Kissing him on the forehead, Gongsun Yan stood up with a smile.
No matter what kind of creature, the cubs are so cute.
Just as he was sighing, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
When he saw that it was not Ah Qing who came in, but Alan, Gongsun's face froze. He covered Gongsun Cheng with a quilt and then stood up.
Alan lowered his voice and said, "Madam, a messenger from the head of the Gongsun family has arrived."
Gongsun Yan was stunned.
Just like the most feared late-night phone calls in modern times, most of the night calls in this era will not bring any good news.
"Please come." Gongsun Yan said while opening the system to see if he had received any money from the criminals.
There are no new emails in the system.
Gongsun Yan made all kinds of guesses. After he was freshening up and changing clothes, he saw Zuo Ping, an old member of the Gongsun family. After hearing the words he brought, all of them turned into a national curse in his heart.
Xu Du returned the remains of Gongsun Yan's family and allowed Gongsun to inherit his father's title. Gongsun Yan had already vaguely anticipated this.
It's just that it was sent at this point in the confrontation between Cao and Yuan, and it was really full of malice.
At this time, if the old man dies and the Gongsun family is taken over by that old guy Gongsun Jing, there is no doubt that he will change his banner and join Yuan Shao.
And why did the old man insist on asking her to go back?
He even didn't hesitate to send out a shadowy confidant like Zuo Ping to come to her door in person to threaten her?
Although she is confident that she can actually control Lulong, the condition set by her main city is to obtain the right to govern a place. If the old man makes some mistakes before he dies...
Will Zhao Xi disappear out of thin air?
She had never noticed this hidden danger before.
Gongsun Yan clenched his back teeth and stood up abruptly.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Zuo, I'll give you a few tips and we'll set off with you right away."
After saying this, he ordered Alan to inform Wang Wuzhang to prepare his carriage and select his bodyguards and retinue.
At the same time, he was addicted to anatomy and couldn't help himself. At this moment, Hua Tuo, who was still cultivating immortality in the laboratory of the county temple medical center, must have been summoned.
Zuo Ping sat where he was, looking at Gongsun Yan who was so excited and preparing to set off overnight, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
Mrs. Yan is so anxious because it is hard to break the family ties of flesh and blood.
The owner of the house will definitely feel relieved if he knows this.
