"It hasn't snowed in the past few days, but it started snowing near Yuanyang. This is really unlucky!"
"God can't stop us from returning to Yuanyang even if he cuts me with a knife!"
"I haven't been home for several months, and I don't know if anyone at home misses me!"
Listening to the discussions among the people behind him, Lin Dagui showed a smile. He was about to see his family, so he was naturally very happy.
Of course, before going home, he had to go to the prince's palace for business.
Looking around, he saw Zhang Guangshi riding on horseback, looking at the city in front of him with reverie eyes.
Starting from Gu Meng Mansion, Zhang Guangshi "visited" all the cities he passed along the way.
A safe city, tight military equipment, sufficient food...
If it weren't for the small population in the city and the zombies that appeared from time to time outside, Zhang Guangshi would even doubt whether zombies had broken out in Longyou.
His visit this time was not just a quick tour, but a deliberate arrangement to gain an in-depth understanding of the lives of the people, the operations of the government, and the military training.
Nowadays, Zhang Guangshi has a more three-dimensional understanding of Longyou, which also makes him more aware of the gap between the north and the north.
More importantly, it was the governance model of Longyou County that made him truly feel the hope of restoring peace.
If Northland County is at odds with each other and allows one-man warriors to fight back and forth, neither the army nor the people will have a future.
As long as you are a normal person, you will know how to choose between Beidi and Longyou.
But because of this, Zhang Guangshi was extremely conflicted at this moment. If he chose Longyou, he would have to betray Beidi.
After only a few days in Longyou, his position was shaken, which made Zhang Guangshi doubt whether he had integrity.
"Master Zhang, we are going to Yuanyang soon, haven't you thought about it yet?"
Zhang Guangshi did not answer. At this moment, he only hated himself for being incompetent, and even more hated the warriors in Beidi County for not living up to expectations.
Soon, they arrived at the south gate of Yuanyang, which was open today.
Continuous horse-drawn carriages came and went in and out of the city gate, making the inside and outside of the city gate very lively.
Most of the supplies on these carriages were transported to Yuanyang Wharf, and then sent to other places by boat.
Seeing the situation here, Zhang Guangshi was in a trance for a moment, and daydreams arose in his mind again. Is it true that there have never been zombies here?
At the city gate, soldiers inspected people very strictly, especially those entering and exiting the city gate. After all, any living creature could be a carrier of the virus.
Now the city defense of Yuanyang has been taken over by Yuanyang Guard soldiers. These are new recruits whom Lin Dagui doesn't know.
He does not know other people, but some people know him, such as the hundreds of households on the tower.
Lin Dagui and his entourage are riding horses, which is particularly eye-catching. How could the hundreds of households upstairs not pay attention?
"Master Lin, you are back!"
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw that the person was very unfamiliar.
The hundred households turned around and trotted down from the tower. At this moment, Lin Dagui and his party were already being inspected.
"You idiots, you don't know who this is and you dare to investigate?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Dagui suddenly became unhappy.
The palace has strict regulations on entering and exiting the city, and what the gatekeeper said was clearly against the rules, and he was in front of Zhang Guangshi, a "tourist."
Before the hundreds of households were close to each other, Lin Dagui asked with a downcast face: "Who are you? What is your current position?"
"I report to your lord, Hu Yunpin, who holds a lowly position, is now the Yuanyang Wei Yuanyang Thousand Households!"
After talking about it, looking at Lin Dagui's gloomy expression, Hu Yunpin suppressed his smile and became serious.
Looking at everyone, Lin Dagui said slowly: "My official... Lin Dagui, the front guard of the palace!"
How could these soldiers at the scene not know the reputation of the palace guard? Lin Dagui announced his identity and restrained everyone at the scene.
Lin Dagui, who was from the same family, was much higher than Hu Yunpin, so Xu Hong, the commander of the Yuanyang Guards, had a higher qualification than him.
"Everyone obeys the order...stand at attention!"
The military orders were like a mountain. After hearing the order to stand at attention, there was a "snap" at the city gate, and dozens of soldiers stood up straight on their legs.
At this moment, Zhang Guangshi could clearly feel that the mental outlook of these soldiers had changed greatly.
From being easy-going with a bit of laxity just now, to being immovable like a mountain and imposing orders and prohibitions, what happened in Longyou is so strange.
"Hu Baihu, what are your responsibilities?"
Hearing Lin Dagui's question and combined with his attitude, Hu Yunpin knew that he was in trouble.
"Reporting to your lord, I humbly serve as a guard at the city gate. I should check the people coming and going to prevent anyone from..."
Before Hu Yunpin could finish his answer, Lin Dagui asked: "Do you strictly implement your duties?"
This sentence stopped Hu Yunpin. His behavior just now clearly showed that he did not strictly abide by his duties.
"I will inform Ambassador Xu Wei about today's events, so you can take care of yourself!"
After saying this, Lin Dagui raised his voice and said: "You continue to perform your duties!"
The soldiers continued to inspect, and at this time they were more serious than before, but Hu Yunpin was frozen in place, neither standing nor walking.
When Lin Dagui and his party passed through the city gate, they heard Hu Yunpin's voice coming from behind: "Sir Lin, I have committed a taboo in my humble position today and will go to the guard station to lead the military law!"
Zhang Guangshi originally had something to say, but after Lin Dagui's treatment, he could only swallow his words.
Objectively speaking, as long as someone knows Lin Dagui, it is human nature to directly let him enter the city.
When a group of people entered the city, there were not many pedestrians on the streets, but Zhang Guangshi knew that the people were not idle. He had learned about the people's working patterns in other cities.
In addition to going to work outside the city, there are also many positions that can be arranged in the city, especially in the central city of Yuanyang.
Soon, they arrived at Beicheng and were getting closer and closer to Prince Yong's Mansion.
"I'll go see the prince later. You wait outside the prince's palace!"
Lin Dagui can go to the audience, but he cannot bring Zhang Guangshi with him. After all, not everyone can go to the audience.
Zhang Guangshi smiled slightly and said: "Lin Baihu, thank you for taking care of me all the way!"
At this moment, several students holding books passed by, but Zhang Guangshi stared straight at them.
In today's world, it is rare for people to read. Zhang Guangshi is very pleased that the saint's cultural heritage will not be cut off.
Lin Dagui said: "These should be students from the School of Political Science!"
"Government School?"
"The prince set up a school, selected talented people, and then appointed them to official positions after teaching!"
Hearing this, Lin Dagui thought of the Imperial College, which has a similar function to the School of Political Science.
"I wonder if I can go to the school and have a look?" Zhang Guangshi was very interested in the political school.
Thinking that the school was not too far from the palace, Lin Dagui nodded and said, "Of course!"
After saying this, Lin Dagui ordered the two men behind him: "You two accompany Mr. Zhang!"
"yes!"
"Master Zhang, I will go to the palace to meet with the prince first. Please don't run around!"
"I understand!"
Although he had a harmonious conversation with Lin Dagui, Zhang Guangshi had mixed feelings in his heart. At this moment, he was wandering between betrayal and persistence, and his whole person was in a state of ice and fire.
But one thing is certain, what Longyou County showed made Zhang Guangshi's heart beat.
