Zhen Mingku has slowly become accustomed to this woman's unreasonable domineering, and she doesn't even have the interest to talk back, so she finally eased up, stood up, glanced at Queen Xiao, and saw that she bowed her head and didn't say a word, not daring to look at him, obviously the accident just now made her a little embarrassed.

He didn't take it seriously, just patted the dust off his body, looked around, and pointed in one of the directions, "Here, follow me!" ”

……

More than 100 miles northeast of Wei County, in the city of Juan, there is a thriving city.

The most prosperous streets in the city, unaffected by the fighting outside the city, continue to operate as usual, shops of all kinds of necessities are open, and the men are full of energy, greeting customers who come and go, and the road is full of merchants and passers-by.

A group of city defense soldiers who had just changed the guard rode by, and the armor and blades on their bodies were also damaged to varying degrees, but they all looked proud, their morale was high, and they did not disturb passers-by and shops.

When a few people arrived at a tea and dim sum building, they got off the horse, talked and laughed and entered the store.

When the men at the tea shop saw them coming into the store from afar, they were shocked, and they got up to greet them, welcomed them into the store, and served tea.

"Master Bing, it's been a hard work, you haven't slept for a few days, have you?"

A soldier said with a smile: "No, in the past few days, more and more soldiers from the north have gathered, ready to seize the city, Lord Yang has ordered martial law in the whole city, and a battle of attack and defense is inevitable. ”

The shopkeeper didn't seem to be worried about the city defense, and said with a smile: "With Lord Yang here, how can those defeated thieves outside the city enter the city, I don't know which way the rout is this time?" ”

"It's not Qinghe's Zhang Jin, known as the 50,000 army, but was beaten by the old general Yang Yichen with 5,000 elite soldiers, vulnerable, you can rest assured, Lord Yang said, you don't have to worry about the city defense, as long as you open the shop as usual and don't raise prices, it will be of great help to defend the city."

"I understand, Lord Yang loves the people like a son, and the people of Juan County are too late to be grateful, how can they cause chaos to Lord Yang, and it will be useful to us, as long as Lord Yang gives an order, even if we are allowed to go to the battlefield with a knife, we will not hesitate."

"Feed us without your blood."

"Haha, yes, yes, I'll serve you refreshments to the soldiers."

Several city guards talked and laughed with the little two in the store, the tea and snacks were served, the city guards ate quickly, under the excuse of the shopkeeper, insisted on paying the bill, and went out to see two women with black hats and an old man with white hair in one of the corners of the teahouse, from the time they entered the store, these three people have been drinking tea silently next to them, without a glance, although the two wearing hats can not see the face clearly, but from the delicate figure, it is obviously two young women.

But the old man, who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with white hair, looked like an old man who had fled with his two daughters.

A city guard has been keeping an eye on them since just now, and finally judged that they are not like spies, so he eliminated his vigilance, and turned around and instructed the shopkeeper: "By the way, there will be a lot of refugees and strangers in the city recently, Lord Yang did not order the city gate to be blocked in order to avoid involving innocents, but I am afraid that there will be spies entering the city in the next few days, you must be careful to take precautions, if there are any suspicious characters, report to the yamen immediately." ”

"That's a certainty, the soldier walks slowly."

…………………………

After the city patrol left, the old man in the corner of the teahouse called out to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper walked up to him and asked, "What else do you need from the guest officers?" ”

The old man casually ordered a few side dishes, and when the shopkeeper left, the old man took out two pieces of silver from his waist and handed them to him, and asked, "Little Er, I want to ask you something." ”

Xiao Er took the silver with a happy face, and hurriedly said, "Guest officer, if you have anything to do, just give me orders." ”

"I heard you talk about Lord Yang just now, I don't know which Lord Yang it is?"

Xiao Er glanced at the two women in black clothes and black hats who were sitting opposite the old man without saying a word, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you must have just arrived in Juxian County from other places, right?" ”

The old man nodded.

"It's no wonder, how can the people of the entire Juan County not know that Yang Shanhui Yang, he is a good official of our Junxian County who loves the people like a son, I think when he first took office, he copied the people's fat and people's ointment looted by the previous county order, and sent food and clothing to the hungry and cold people, and also exempted the people of Juan County from taxes for three years, and even the forced labor was reduced by half. In the past few years, people from the nearby states and counties of Juan County have heard the wind and settled down in Juxian County, and until now, Juan County has such a scale......

The old man listened quietly, with a sudden look on his face, and asked: "Zhang Jin's rogue has already flowed to Juan County, and I see that the people in the city are not in a hurry, could it be that there is a large army stationed in this city?" ”

The shopkeeper's face was proud, and he smiled: "You don't know this, the so-called loyal ministers are not the two masters, Lord Yang has always valued love and righteousness, benevolence and loyalty, and has always been loyal to the old Sui, since Emperor Yang was killed, Lord Yang has supported the army to stand on his own, guarding this county, building a city and accumulating grain, appointing virtuous people, and repeatedly repelling the thieves who plotted against him, and his reputation is far and wide, and the surrounding thieves are afraid of the prestige, and they have all come to take refuge in Shun, and the soldiers of the county are becoming stronger and stronger, and even the Xia King Dou Jiande has sent envoys to form an alliance, such achievements, I'm afraid that the general of the secret guard in Luoyang can be compared to ......"

The old man smiled and said, "If the Dark Guard General knew you Lord Yang, I'm afraid he would be ashamed of himself." ”

"I can't say that, as long as he is a good official who loves the people for the people, how can we ordinary people not support it, and the prestige of the secret guard general, even our Lord Yang admires him and admires him."

"Actually, he's not as good as you say, I'm ashamed." The old man smiled more and more happily.

The shopkeeper looked puzzled, he was talking about the general of the dark guard, what is this old man humble?

The two girls who had been sitting opposite him sneered, and the shopkeeper didn't think much about it, retreated, and turned to the direction of the kitchen.

Only then did one of the girls speak: "I heard someone boasting about herself, and I forgot my surname, didn't you come to inquire about your wife's whereabouts?" Patronized and listened to people's sycophants, and forgot to ask about business, I think you are really not as good as Lord Yang. ”

The woman next to her gently tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Sister......"
