Chapter 457: Rebuke

After that he went back to the house.

The cup placed on the ground suddenly disappeared, as if it had been dragged into the ground by something.

The corner of the yard is back to its original state.

￥￥￥￥￥

He Lingchuan blinked and looked at the holes in the roof. It took him a long time to realize that he was in Soul Country.

The starry sky in reality and dreamland are equally bright.

He sat up and stretched.

The Broken Blade Squadron, like the other Panlong Army, had left the capital of Xixi Kingdom and arrived at the easternmost city of the original Xixi Kingdom, only one step away from the border.

The permanent population here exceeds 90,000, making it the fourth largest city in Xiqiao. It can barely handle the garrison needs of the Panlong Army. Of course, cilium has perished. According to Zhong Shengguang's request, General Red renamed this place Yuheng City.

"Yuheng Star is the brightest star in the Big Dipper. Every night, it illuminates the way home for the soldiers of Panlong City."

The army reorganized here for two days, ready to march eastward at any time.

As soon as he stretched, Willow's call came from outside: "Hey, come out to eat dumplings, you lazy fools!"

He Lingchuan jumped up and walked out. The door panel where he was leaning against the corner and snoring ran faster than him.

A large pot was set up in the open space outside. Fat white dumplings were rolling up and down in the boiling water. Some of them burst, coating the soup with a layer of bright oil.

Just by looking at this pot, you can tell that Liu Tiao's cooking skills are probably as good as He Lingchuan's. Menpan sat down and ate a few dumplings, praising the wicker for being well-done while sizzling from the heat.

My daughter-in-law has to be praised by her family.

No matter how thick-skinned Liu Tiao was, he was still a little red: "I broke several of my bags, and these good ones were all made by Father Liu."

She was responsible for all the intestinal ruptures.

Father Liu is next to him. He is in his fifties, dark and thin, with a stooped figure. He has a turban tied to his forehead, which fits He Lingchuan's impression of hardworking and simple working people.

He brought two more drawers of raw dumplings over and placed them beside the pot. He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Eat more, there are plenty!"

"Dad Liu, thank you for your hard work."

As soon as He Lingchuan sat down, Father Liu fished out a bowl of dumplings for him, but the one for Liu Tiao was so full that it almost overflowed.

The Broken Knife team sat down and feasted.

It stands to reason that the army's food is very simple, only a large amount of radish pimple soup, dead-faced steamed buns, a little dried meat and pickles.

However, after hearing the news from nearby, the elders of Xiluo came and led pigs and sheep, carried cakes and meals, and kept delivering things to Panlong's army.

So Panlongjun got several extra meals. Tonight's steamed buns have been replaced with dumplings, and there are even two flavors: pork, green onion and carrot and egg.

Liu Yao and A Luo went over to help make dumplings in the afternoon. When the finished products were brought out, each one was half a palm in size, fat and solid, and one bite filled the mouth with oil.

Father Liu, who traveled more than 20 miles to deliver meat and vegetables, was from Rongshan. When he saw Liu Tiao, he fell in love with her and insisted on recognizing her as his daughter. Later, everyone learned that he came to Xiqiao from Panlong Wasteland in his early years. His wife and only daughter died in the Rongshan riot a few years ago.

No one had the heart to refuse his kindness.

In the past two days, Yuheng City was full of laughter and laughter.

Although everyone is on the front line.

To the east is another small country, Jinying.

However, this country was frightened by Panlong's army's attack on Xiqian, and now heavily troops are stationed on the border to confront Panlong's army.

If He Lingchuan climbed up the tree now, he could even see the fire on the other side of the boundary.

That is Jin Ying's army.

It is said that Jin Ying's entire country has been mobilized and is ready to defend the country at all costs.

With their eyes facing each other like this, there's no chance that sparks will fly.

He Lingchuan understood that the reason why the Panlong Army attacked Xiqian as if they were entering uninhabited territory was because they had the advantage of "quick". Before the enemy could react, they had already crossed the Xiqian Mountains and entered the undefeable plain.

In He Lingchuan's view, Jin Yao is now wary and prepared, and is in a mountainous area. It is quite difficult for the Panlong Army to win quickly and with few injuries like before.

It can be said that the Panlong Army's return eastward will only encounter real resistance from now on.

Senior officials such as Zhong Shengguang should know this best.

It depends on how they plan.

He Lingchuan half sat up. There were firelights and voices nearby.

Because of the previous victory, the entire army was in high spirits.

He heard one of the soldiers say: "Last year, I accompanied my uncle through Longhou Pass. There was a little boss there who saw that we were from Panlong City and asked us to move all the more than 600 pieces of goods from the car and check. It’s forbidden! There was a conflict and he even spat at us. What a coincidence, I met him on the street yesterday!

"How did you deal with him?"

"I followed him home, and then I told the neighbors that he had hidden weapons in his house!" The man laughed, "He was so scared that he almost knelt down. I asked him to carry out his belongings one by one for me to inspect. Hehe. , Don’t tell me, I actually found two long knives! Then his whole family knelt down!”

There was laughter all around.

He Lingchuan knew that those were other teams of the Panlong Army.

The Panlong Army was stationed in the west city of Yuheng. There are many high-end courtyards here, where rich people live. Later, they were temporarily requisitioned by Panlong Army as a camp to avoid disturbing the lives of ordinary people in the city.

General Red also made a special announcement that as long as he is a good citizen, his life in Yuheng City will be protected.

Of course, the subtext is that the final interpretation of the word "good people" belongs to Panlong Army.

Over the past few days, several main cities have resumed normal life and operation under the watchful eyes of the Panlong Army. The shops on the streets are open for business, and the flow of people in the market is gradually increasing.

The city began to get back on track, as if the war for the country that lasted for more than half a month had never happened.

In fact, because the Panlong Army attacked the city too quickly, only the palace was stubbornly resisting, and even the infrastructure and ecology of the capital were only slightly damaged, and it was relatively easy to repair.

After the Panlong Army rested and replenished supplies in Yuheng City, it would set off to continue returning east. General Hong has sent several scouts to detect Jin Tao's military situation.

This is also the focus of heated discussion among the army in recent days. A great victory with a small price made everyone full of expectations for the return journey to their homeland.

War is never simple, but He Lingchuan understands that the truth is far more complicated than this.

After eating dumplings and drinking soup, He Lingchuan climbed back to the roof and began to play the xiao.

The mouse passing by the roof beam staggered when he heard it.

As a beginner, he still lacks the sound and rhythm.

Hu Min rolled his eyes and said to Menban: "Here we go again. The boss has not let us off for the past few nights."

Menban also whispered: "He should play the flute better."

If the Xun is not played well, it sounds like a ghost, which is quite appropriate in this battlefield where people die every day.

After fighting, killing, and applying medicine, He Lingchuan would start practicing musical instruments when he was free, under the pretext that military life needs music to adjust.

There is no way, Master Sun will take an exam after returning this time.

Other teams also wanted to protest, but when they got closer, they found that it was Duan Dao who was screaming, no, he was playing the Xun, so they turned around and went back.

Combat heroes always enjoy privileges.

Fortunately, Duan Dao did not torture them for too long tonight, because a series of military whistles suddenly sounded in front:

"Assemble, assemble, major military information is read out!"

Major military information? Everyone threw down their weapons and quickly rushed to the West Square to assemble.

There were many buildings here originally, but most of them were destroyed in the street fighting. The Panlong Army simply sent people to raze them to the ground and create a square that could accommodate thousands of people.

Soon, thousands of people were in place, torches were burning, everyone stood straight, but the whole place was silent.

General Hong came out in military uniform with a man.

The color of this man's clothes was different from those in Panlong City and Yuanxi.

Under the light of the fire, his expression was very uneasy.

"This is an envoy sent by the capital. Come to us first, and then send a message to Panlong City!" General Hong introduced a few words, and then said to the envoy, "Come, please read the king's decree loudly!"

Ah? The messenger was stunned after hearing the second half of her words: "General, this order is only issued to you and Commander Zhong."

"Oh?" General Hong stretched out his hand to him, "Then give it to me."

The messenger was very dissatisfied: "You should kneel down to receive it!"

General Hong stretched out her hand to grab the edict, and she unfolded it so quickly that the messenger did not react, and read it aloud.

It turned out that the king ordered the messenger to rush day and night to convey a letter of reprimand, accusing Zhong Shengguang of privately raising troops and ruining diplomatic relations. He took the route through Xijiao Kingdom not to enhance the prestige of Xiluo, but to harass friendly neighbors and make powerful enemies on all sides. He could not understand the heart of the king and father, and even plunged his motherland into war and disputes.

It was also said that Xiluo had never issued a relocation order to Panlong City, so:

"Order the Panlong Army to return west immediately, stabilize our territory, and not trample on friendly countries!" This was the last sentence, and General Hong spread his hands, "I'm done."

There was a commotion under the stage, everyone stared, and even the Dafeng Army with the strictest military discipline couldn't help but look at each other.

This actually happened! They were eager to return home, but the king actually ordered a reprimand!

They sent troops quickly and won everything, but the motherland was not proud of it but ashamed of it!

The king actually wanted them to go back!

Go back to an environment surrounded by enemies and isolated.

Willow whispered: "No way, really?"

The door panel said in a dull voice: "Damn it, don't let us go back!"

Such complaints spread rapidly in the army, and no one cared about what occasion it was.

The Xi Luo envoy in front couldn't stand the angry eyes they cast over, and kept wiping his sweat. "This is not in accordance with the etiquette, general, you are usurping the throne!"

Seeing is believing, this red general is more arrogant than the rumors, and he actually read the king's order directly to the big soldiers!

This is an important military matter and a major national event. The king specially ordered him to ask Zhong Shengguang to withdraw his left and right when he delivered the order, and no third person should be present.

This is good, this is good, thousands of ears have heard it!

These soldiers are all stubborn, what do they know about state strategy?

He must report the truth when he returns!

General Hong ignored him and only asked the soldiers in the audience: "Did you hear it clearly?"
