The white dove's wings brushed against the dark gray clouds.
The tents are like flowers blooming on the gray earth.
Looking down from a high altitude, the busy people in this huge camp look like ants.
The white dove folded its wings and returned to its nest cooing.
Soon, an older uncle walked towards a huge tent in the center with a translated note in his hand.
There were two people sitting opposite each other in the tent.
A low pressure enveloped the two of them.
Hearing Sima Tong come in, one of them turned his head suddenly, his eyes shining brightly under his thick eyebrows.
In the dimly lit tent, he looked like a dormant beast, but with notes all over his face, he instantly became honest.
"Zhang Sima."
The uncle presented the note to Zhang He with a clean face with both hands.
Zhang He took it and saw Zhang Fei secretly changing the pieces on the chessboard out of the corner of his eye. He sighed and said nothing.
After reading it, he handed the note to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang, take a look."
Zhang Fei quickly withdrew his hand, pretending to have done nothing, squinting at the top of the tent and whistling.
After hearing what Zhang He said, he pretended to turn around and said, "I don't think it's good."
Before he finished speaking, he had already snatched the note from Zhang He's hand.
After looking at it, a burst of ecstasy appeared on his face.
But then he thought of something again, rubbed his hands, and said sheepishly: "The things I promised my eldest niece have been done, and it's time for me to go back to Xudu."
He paused and looked at Zhang He expectantly: "Wouldn't it be a good idea to lead troops out again?"
"Haha." Zhang He laughed inexplicably, "What does General Zhang mean?"
Seeing that Zhang He did not persuade him, Zhang Fei smacked his lips: "But I can't ignore my eldest niece's affairs. My brother once told me not to let anyone bully her."
Zhang Fei convinced himself.
Zhang He responded: "General Zhang is upright."
But judging from the current situation, it seems that your eldest niece wants to bully others.
Zhang He didn't say the last half of the sentence.
As a warrior, you can do well if you have soldiers to lead, to fight in battles, and to earn military merits.
Never care about the reasons, this is Zhang He's principle.
"In that case, let's set off."
Zhang He stood up and moved his body.
I originally thought that when I returned to Lingzhi, I would have to hand over my military power and relax for a while, but I didn't expect that I could continue the expedition.
This made him very happy as he had just tasted the sweetness of wealth.
Zhang Fei obviously felt the same way and wiped the note off his face.
Ordered to break camp and speed up the march.
Two days later, the two returned to Lingzhi and stationed themselves in the camp outside the city.
The two of them explained the matters in the camp and rushed to Lingzhi with their relatives.
With the help of the talisman, after entering the city gate, the two of them involuntarily slowed down their horses.
"Jun Yi, is it my misunderstanding? This city seems different?"
Zhang Fei asked hesitantly.
People are coming and going in the city, and there are people pushing wheelbarrows everywhere.
Neither of them were domineering people, so they dismounted and started walking because they didn't want to cause trouble by running horses in the city and hurting people.
After listening to Zhang Fei's question, Zhang He did not answer.
In fact, Zhang He has been in Lingzhi longer than Zhang Fei. He walks around the market and can best see the true appearance of a city.
But now he felt like he had entered the wrong door.
The ancient northern border town in front of you is exuding a vitality that cannot be ignored.
There are construction projects everywhere, covered by a large amount of bamboo and wood scaffolding.
There are almost no idle people. It seems that everyone has a clear goal and is moving forward.
The frozen bones of the homeless people who used to be on the street corners have completely disappeared.
Even throughout the city, the excrement in alleys and corners was cleaned.
Just as I was thinking about it, a sharp scolding voice from a woman came from the distance: "You are so oblivious, you are really a street dog who can't control you."
"Don't hide your face. Why would you still pee on the street if you wanted to face me? You're a dirty trick."
It is human nature to join in the fun, so Zhang Fei immediately stretched his neck to take a look.
I saw a skinny old woman with a blue armband that said supervisor on her right arm.
He was cursing and grabbing a man who was holding up his pants and covering his face.
Although this old woman is old, she is very sharp-tongued: "Everyone, come and take a look. Look at what Huangzi is doing, peeing on the street corner in broad daylight."
Zhang He and Zhang Fei were both stunned. Is this... a big problem?
Where is this not the case?
They glanced at each other subconsciously, then quickly looked away.
We are all gentlemen, who would do that?
"Auntie, it's wrong, it's really wrong, I just can't hold it in."
The man covering his face was holding on to his belt with one hand and covering his face with the other.
"Just around the corner is the newly built public toilet, can't you hold it in?"
The old sister-in-law's urban health supervision brigade, who was specially appointed by Gongsun Yan, was extremely effective when carrying out its mission.
"Ms. Yan has said that dysentery epidemics are mostly caused by poor hygiene. Even if I say it a hundred times, I can't control you lazy people."
After a few more curses, the old woman changed her tone: "Fine, fine."
There is a commission for every fine, and the old woman can already smell the scent of copper coins.
"Okay, okay, aunt, let me go first and I'll get the money bag."
The man covering his face begged for mercy, and then the moment the old woman let go, he picked up his pants and ran away.
Looking at his running back, the old woman's curses could be heard far away.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but scratch his ears.
Just then, something suddenly hit me.
Zhang Fei was agile and turned his head to let him pass.
Holding the weapon with one hand, he turned around and saw a plump young woman standing at the door of a tofu shop, looking this way.
Only then did Zhang Fei notice that there was a Ringo fruit on the ground.
The woman shyly blinked her eyes in this direction, completely unlike those women in the past who were as fearful of the army as a tiger.
Zhang Fei, who was thinking that this world was strange, turned around and saw a slender figure running out from the corner of the street and heading towards Zhang He.
A trace of fear appeared on Zhang He's face for a moment, and he jumped back as if he had seen a ghost.
The woman fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Zhang He led the horse around her and walked far away before she got up, her delicate face full of unwillingness.
"What are you doing?" Zhang He's personal attendant wanted to draw his sword and ask, but found that something was not right.
At some point, there were many more people pointing at them on the street.
"The one on the left looks a bit scary and a bit old, but judging from his military uniform, he is a lieutenant general in the army."
"The one on the right is quite handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but why does he look so scared? Is there some hidden disease?"
"The third one from the bottom is pretty good. He is young and tender-faced. Look at his frightened little face. My true love belongs to my sister."
These whispers are like picking out vegetables at the market.
This strong sense of disobedience made even Zhang Fei feel uncomfortable. He and Zhang He looked at each other, and in unison, they quickened their pace and walked towards the prefect's mansion.
