Jizhou, Hejian Kingdom, Gonggao County.

Three days later, the morning light is dark.

After resolving the Wuhuan army, Tao Ying handed over the complicated aftermath matters such as the city repair, cleaning up, and appeasement of the people to Chen Deng and Hua Xin to deal with it. Even the "strong man" Tian Feng who was temporarily recruited was used, but Tao Ying himself slept in the Hejian Palace for three days in a daze.

Even so, Tao Ying still felt that she hadn't had enough sleep, so she took a look at the dim bronze mirror and complained.

"The skin is much worse!"

Of course, Tao Ying could only complain about this in a space without anyone else, otherwise, his female behavior would definitely destroy the image of wise and powerful.

Tao Ying didn't know that he had already made a name in the heart of Emperor Ling of Han. Emperor Ling liked him so much. If he knew that Tao Ying was so "charming", he would definitely summon him into the palace and be a "person for the execution of the Immortality".

OK, Tao Ying just wants to experience the ancient charm and style of using Han Dynasty bronze mirror

"If this is done in later generations, men dare not use them to pull their beards randomly, and women dare not repair their eyebrows randomly!"

...

"Driving!"

"Ru" ​​"

After three consecutive days of restoring to sleep, Tao Ying has become refreshed and full of energy.

After having breakfast, under Yan Liang's escort, Tao Ying and his party rushed south from Lecheng City, passed the newly renovated Zhangshuidu Bridge, and came outside Gonggao City.

This is the first time Tao Ying has returned to Gonggao County since the war.

At this time, there was a black ocean outside the outskirts of Gonggao City.

Black flags as dense as dark clouds, black banners hanging around the wind, black armored soldiers in black clothes and black armored...

Although there are crowds of people, there is no trace of noise or messiness.

"Well!"

Tao Ying got off the horse early and slowly entered the home court.

"Tap...Tap..."

When a coffin appeared in front of him, Tao Ying finally stopped his slow pace and stood in a daze on the wilderness outside Gonggao City.

The bleak north wind blew past, making the grass and trees in the wilderness sound, shaking the black cloak behind Tao Ying, making a sound of rushing.

Next to each coffin, a soldier of the Xuan Armored Army, all wearing dark iron armor, shining with a faint cold light in the dim morning light.

Looking at the hundreds of coffins in front of you, an inexplicable bleak echoed in Tao Ying's heart. In a flash, a poem that has been passed down through the ages appeared in Tao Ying's mind:

The wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold;

The hero will never return once he leaves!

Although most of the Xuanjia Army were born from the former Taishan bandits and Yellow Turban bandits, they have transformed since the moment they became a Xuanjia Army and have no relationship with the bandits.

"You are a righteous man who is determined to fight for the Han people and fight for me Tao Ying!"

These people followed Tao Ying, from Taishan County, Yanzhou to Jinan, Qingzhou, Pingyuan County, and then headed north to Hejian Country in Jizhou. No matter how dangerous or difficult it is, they will never leave each other.

"But today, looking at the cold coffins, your sudden departure will teach me how Tao Ying will not be sad!"

Behind Tao Ying, Chen Deng, Yan Liang, Ji Ling, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, Tian Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang looked sad.

Only Che Zhou, Lun Zhi, Hao Cisshuai and others not far away had dull expressions and extremely complicated moods.

Among the other crowd, Hua Xin and Tian Feng also had solemn expressions.

It is incredible for ordinary soldiers, especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, where human lives are as cheap as grass, to have such solemn and grand funeral treatment. Hua Xin and Tian Feng have never seen or heard of it.

Such a scene is only seen in life, and the shock and impact it brings to their hearts is hard to describe.

Hua Xin and Tian Feng looked at Tao Ying again, and their eyes became a little different.

"It is easy for soldiers to be united, but there are very few that can be truly consistent!"

"The king and the ministers are polite, and the ministers serve the king with loyalty. The soldiers are united, how can the Xuanjia Army not be strong in combat!"

...

Yanzhou. Taishan County. Fenggao County.

Yuan Ji, who had been running from Luoyang for four consecutive days, looked up at Fenggao Prefect's Mansion and did not dare to break through. He asked Yuan Fu, a servant of the accompanying family, to communicate with the guard and inform him.

"Yuan Fu, speak kindly!"

Yuan Fu nodded in understanding and hurriedly stepped forward to inform Yuan Ji about his purpose.

Yuan Fu knew the changes in Yuan Ji's attitude.

"People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!"

If it were in the past, Yuan Ji, the Grandpa, who was one of the "Nine Ministers", could not have been so cautious.

Not to mention that there is only a prefect's office in front of you, even the General's Mansion, the Yuan family's children do not need to blow the cold wind at the gate. They only go straight into the side hall to say hello.

...

"Is this still the territory of the Han Dynasty?"

While waiting, Yuan Ji, who looked surprised, silently looked at the streets around the government office.

Uniform houses, business shops, spacious, flat and tidy streets...

People with a look of comfort and happiness, children who are carefree on the streets and alleys, and playful...

In a trance, Yuan Ji felt like he had come to another world.

"The comfort and peace here are, even if it is rich, the luxurious Luoyang is incomparable!"

After entering Taishan County, the impact that Yuan Ji felt was both fresh and unfamiliar with the Han Dynasty, a place where bandits and bandits had been rampant for several years.

...

"You come from Luoyang, is Yuan Ji, the eldest son of Yuan Mansion?"

Yuan Ji, who was wandering around, suddenly heard the question coming from behind, immediately came to his senses and turned to look at the person who came. He was a middle-aged scholar who hurriedly bowed his respects.

"I am Yuan Ji, I don't know you..."

Before Yuan Ji finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone who waved his hand.

"I am the chief clerk of the prefect's office. Let's go, our Yin Mansion is in the office."

The person who came did not talk to Yuan Jido, turned around and went to the mansion, with his steps light and fast.

"A mere prefect chief clerk, with a salary of only a hundred stones, dares to be so rude to the servant of one of the "Nine Lords"!"

Yuan Ji, who felt a hot face pressing on his cold butt, stared at the head clerk who was moving forward, clenched his fists secretly, and a gloomy flashed in his shrinking eyes, and the hatred for Tao Ying increased a little more.

"When you are rescued back to the road, you will definitely feel the anger from Yuan!"

Gonggaocheng.

The Central General Bi Lan and Gao Tang Ling Mi Fang and his group rode their horses and walked slowly through the city's avenue, looking at the ruined county town all the way, a hint of anger and sadness arose in their hearts.

"A pretty county town was a disaster that was caused by the Wuhuan traitors, and it was a sin!"

Although he is one of the ten regular attendants, Bi Lan is still a little lacking in harming people compared to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhonglai. After all, he is from a poor family and is keen on invention and creation, and he has some sympathy for the people.

"There are so few people in the city, they must have gone to the funeral outside the city!"

Mi Fang looked around, and there were almost no people in the streets and alleys in the city.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look, and pass the emperor's edict to General Tao by the way. The mission of this regular attendant will be completed!"

This time, Bi Lan was ordered by Emperor Ling of Han to come to deliver the order to Tao Ying.

He arrived at Gaotang, Qingzhou, but did not see Tao Ying. He heard that Tao Ying was chasing the rebel Gongsun Zan to Yimu County. Bi Lan also wanted to meet this legendary general of the Guard, so he accompanied Mi Fang, and arrived at Yimu.

After a short while in Yimu, he rushed to Gonggao after being hungry and cold, and did not torture Bi Lan, who was used to being rich and well-behaved.

When Bi Lan, Mi Fang and his group left Gonggao City and were immediately shocked by the black world in front of them.
