A Luo River divides Cangyan into east and west halves, and Qingshui City is the largest city in the plain area west of Cangyan.
Qingshui City is surrounded by four sizable towns, so the population tends to become more concentrated. In this western part of Cangyan, any girl from any family who can finally marry into Qingshui City is a worthy outcome.
A happy event that the villagers envy.
But Luo Chuan did not stay in the city for long. He only arrived the day before and took advantage of a banquet for a city lieutenant to marry his son. He met and comforted a group of Qingshui City government officials.
, and set off for Xiguguan early the next morning.
Traveling quickly, the group of people had already arrived outside Xigu Pass when the sun was still in the sky.
Xiguguan is the westernmost point of Li County and the westernmost point of the entire southwestern Hanzhou. Here, the endless mountains cut off a winding but always connected canyon. At one end of the canyon is Cangyan and even
The most important gateway to the west of Hanzhou in Southwest China, and the other end of the canyon is the gate to the east of Xiyi.
The human race built a thick city wall more than 20 meters high on the narrowest and most steep section of the canyon along the towering peaks on both sides. After generations of thickening, the city wall itself can be regarded as
It is a mountain.
The demon clan also built a city wall at 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.
Luo Chuan and his party rode horses and stopped 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. Looking at this city wall can give people a strong sense of security."
Ah..." He turned around and saw six people coming out of the pavilion at the three-way intersection not far away, and one of them was his old acquaintance Li Mu.
At this time, Li Muzheng followed the other five people with a respectful attitude. The first one looked very young, tall, wearing silver armor, and the crimson cloak on the back was very eye-catching, but what attracted people's attention more was his pair of eyes.
, as sharp as an eagle, causing everyone who looks at him to have the illusion that they are staring at an arrow pointing at themselves!
The four people following him are also in silver armor, but the capes behind them are black. Each of the four has its own characteristics.
The two people who were closer to the leader were both extremely strong and strong. One had dark skin, hair standing on end, and half of his arms were still exposed in the cold weather. The other was slightly whiter and could only be considered bronze, with pits on his face.
The scars also have a lot of acne marks, which look quite hideous.
With these two people following him, the leader looked even more handsome.
The two people behind him are much more comfortable to look at. One is middle-aged, although he wears armor but has a beard. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face and wide lips. He wears a green shirt under the silver armor. He has the air of a Confucian general.
The other one is older, has a slightly colder temperament, has narrow eyes, and slightly protruding cheekbones, but is quite stable when walking, making it difficult for people to feel disgusted.
Luo Chuan turned over and dismounted, slapped his thighs a few times without embarrassment, then smiled and greeted him, waved his hand in the distance and asked, "But General Chen Jingzhi?"
The handsome man who was the leader of the six people stopped and said a military salute, "General Chen Jingzhi, I have met the young master!"
Behind him, two black-faced men looked at each other and also performed military salutes. Among them, the black-faced man called himself "General Feng Jinkui", while the ferocious-looking man called himself "General He Ruoxiong". He really lived up to his name.
The next two strode forward to be level with the two black-faced men, and they also saluted solemnly. Some middle-aged men with a Confucian general style called themselves "Bi General Zhao Qingxia", and those with a colder temperament called themselves "Bi General Li Zhongyang."
The last one was Li Mu, but he had already knelt down on one knee to salute.
"General Chen, generals, you don't have to be like this," Luo Chuan walked a few steps quickly and held up the arm of the leading general Chen Jingzhi with his hands. "Although I am also a member of the Luo family, I am the governor of Cangyan County now, and I am nothing more than the generals."
Colleagues in the same place have no subordinate rights and responsibilities. Luochuan cannot afford the courtesy you pay me."
Chen Jingzhi pursed his lips and nodded in response to Luo Chuan's kindness, then nodded to the old coachman standing behind Luo Chuan, and then glanced at the rest of the people, especially the young female Taoist and the two Wangchuan sword cultivators, who paused briefly.
But he just nodded again.
Some soldiers brought the horses over, and Chen Jingzhi, Luo Chuan and others got on the horses and walked slowly toward the city wall in the distance. "Jingzhi went north from Taiming City. When he arrived at Ganyuan, he heard the people talking about the young master.
Names are all words of admiration." He smiled at Luochuan, "It was only after I entered Cangyan that I realized that the young master was able to win the hearts of the people not long after he came here. He has actually done several great things under pressure. I respect him very much.
."
Luo Chuan shook his head and said, "At best, it's just a correction."
Chen Jingzhi looked at Luochuan again, then smiled and shook his head, "Young Master is from the Xiluo Valley?"
"Yes," Luo Chuan said with a smile on his face, "Although General Chen has just joined Cangyan, he 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 I would have been deaf and blind when I first came to Cangyan." He paused and then continued to ask, "I heard General Zhao Bi say that
Regarding the matter in the Xiluo Valley, he said that if the problem there can be solved, the young master’s reputation among the people in Cangyan will be unprecedented.”
Luo Chuan did not directly respond 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 just a few miles outside Xigu Pass. It is really the safety of this city wall that gives people
The feeling is too heavy." He turned to look at Chen Jingzhi who was riding on the horse beside him and smiled very naturally, "General Chen, the people in Li County don't really want much. You keep them safe and I let everyone eat.
With enough to eat, this is already a paradise for them," he looked at the city wall from a distance again, "but troubled times are coming, and we still have a lot to do to protect this paradise."
Chen Jingzhi clasped his fists slightly and saluted on his horse, "Please give me some advice, Master."
Feng Jinkui, the black-faced general who was following behind them, curled his lips in disdain and turned to look at the distant mountains.
"I can't talk about giving advice, but I can tell General Chen what I think," Luo Chuan nodded in response and then thought for a moment, "I don't know about the army, but the Taiming Army and the Cangyan Army are both elites in Lijun.
, I want to be safe both inside and outside, I just want to talk about military rations. When I came here, I asked the county magistrate that there is not much food in stock in the western battlefield today. The daily consumption of tens of thousands of soldiers is not a small number, but it all depends on a supply line and
The grain storage in the Cangcheng outside Cangyan City was just that in the past. Now that the big demon can fly to Zhongjing City, what is a small Cangcheng outside Cangyan City? Xiguguan must have its own grain storage.
A land of food.”
Chen Jingzhi looked at Luochuan with slightly surprised eyes, "The storage and supply of grain in various battlefields has always been the responsibility of each government office. Are you sure... that you want the western battlefield to store grain on its own?"
