Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 452 Just don't give you face

Under the gate of Fengjiang City, there was an endless stream of visitors.

The business of tea stalls and wine shops has been booming in recent days.

It's not because there are more monks from other places. After the Heavenly Paradise, the number of monks in Fengjiang is obviously much less than in the past, but the reason why the paving business remains the same is mainly because of the war at the Dali border.

If the people were placed in ordinary county towns, they might have already packed up their bags and moved to the south of Dali.

But the people in Fengjiang are a little different. Not only do they have no fear, they even pay attention to the battle situation at the wine and meat stall every day.

Then began to fight against both sides, talking loudly and forming troops.

It's as if everyone knows how to fight this battle between dynasties.

It's interesting to say that, at the beginning, many monks from other places still thought the remarks of these ordinary people were ridiculous.

But after a long time, it will be infected, and it will join in without knowing it.

Then I argued every day, my face was red and my ears were red, it was so lively.

This scene really makes people laugh and cry, the people in other counties and cities in Dali are all nervous to death.

On the contrary, Fengjiang, the closest and most dangerous city to the battlefield, seemed extraordinarily relaxed and leisurely.

The Dali army in the Guandao Pavilion next door was fighting in full swing every day, while the people here had no fear, they didn't even know that Xue Jingkang had been here a few days ago.

"Hey, let me tell you, I'm not bragging. If I were to command the entire army, I would definitely kill the people of Nanjing!"

"Come on, just you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"The city lord will give you hundreds of pills, at least? You can eat them like jelly beans, but you are still at the peak of your physical body, and you have not yet broken through the realm of body refinement. Are you going to be a general? "

"Also, what does being a general have to do with realm? Cultivator is not my strong suit."

"Hmph, Xiao Zhang, you can't do it. My strategy is the best. Dali's iron cavalry charges, and then let the Dali's major monks cover the fire!"

"Old man Zhou, did you feed pig food to your pigsty at that time? It was covered by firepower, just sprinkle it casually and it would be over? Right?"

"Huh, you can be too superficial, just say that the two sides are playing against each other, just like playing chess, the first step is very important. The so-called opening is the first shot, do you understand what the first shot is?"

"What?"

"That's an understatement! The front shot is momentum and appearance, the more I don't know what our Dali guy thinks, don't stay in the barracks for so many days, and I don't know how to show it to the other side."

"Show what? Your son's beautiful daughter-in-law?"

"piss off!"

"Hahahaha!"

In Fengjiang City at this time, every location is very lively.

Chatting and arguing, talking nonsense about random things.

He didn't pay attention to the number of carriages parked outside the city gate at all.

People in Fengjiang know little about red tape.

After all, even survival was the top priority back then, so no one would pay attention to these things at all.

There is no teacher to teach, no scholarly family, and no high-ranking officials from the capital.

So this vision must be a little shallow.

Whenever a family from another county may see the carriage with a gilt roof outside, they will stand up respectfully to greet them.

Because this is the carriage pattern of the royal family of the Dali Dynasty.

However, the Fengjiang people don't know this, and no one from the royal family in the capital of Dali has ever been to Fengjiang once, so it's normal not to know.

Some people took a second look while chatting.

It's just those extroverted monks with noble status.

There are also quite a few noble monks who pass by here, and those who are more particular are indeed the objects that many people in the frontier look up to.

Not to mention this kind of gilded carriage with a big roof, even the pets they keep in their hands are extremely luxurious.

So when you see Song Zhenque's carriage, you must take a few more glances, but that's it.

Inside the carriage.

Song Zhenque and a kind of far away official looked at the comfortable scene in front of them strangely.

This is completely different from what they thought was the border closure.

Even taking the tea stand by the roadside, hearing what the Fengjiang people said was even more mixed.

It's not because of how good the frontier people are at analyzing the battle situation and arranging troops.

It was completely confused by this comfortable and leisurely state.

This is what border counties should look like when they are about to face a war?

Why are you acting like a normal person?
Or is it really so ignorant that they don't know the threat of the Nanjing army to seal the border?
Are you not afraid of death?

Everyone became suspicious.

After the carriage left the city, it started to slow down.

Before Song Zhenque decided to come, he asked Gu Shouzhi to pass the news to Shen Mu.

But at that time, Shen Mu was still shopping in the col, so this matter was finally pushed to Cao Zhengxiang.

At this moment, Cao Zhengxiang was standing inside the gate of the city, with his hands in sleeves, smiling and looking at the people from Dali who came.

Xiao Nanhe, Gu Shouzhi, Wang Beixuan, Xu Cunhe and others were naturally there.

It's just that when they saw Cao Zhengxiang standing inside the city gate, they all sighed helplessly and smiled wryly to themselves.

Some things may be unavoidable after all.

Shen Mu didn't greet him personally, but asked Cao Zhengxiang to come, and Cao Zhengxiang stood inside the city gate to greet him. This seemingly small gesture also expressed his attitude and position.

People in the Dali Dynasty are not fools, so they naturally saw the way.

Fengjiang City is independent, and it is not necessary to worship the dynasties of other countries.

Secondly, you came to discuss business with us, you didn't go out, and waited for you to come. The primary and secondary also showed that it was you who came to beg me, not me who went out to beg you.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little weird.

Originally, along the way, many people were still full of self-confidence, thinking that their battles gave enough face to Fengjiang, and Shen Mu should not be ignorant of flattery.

As a result, as soon as this came, he calmly gave him a blow.

I haven't seen that county city see the emperor in person, and haven't gone out of the city to greet him.

The key is not only Shenmu, but even the people in Fengjiang, they don't seem to care about them.

This is too shameless!
"Your Majesty, this Shenmu is too arrogant. He really thinks that without him, we can't leave?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, if we can't give him a chance to show off his might, and if the news spreads, how can we save the face of Da Li?"

"Your Majesty, shall we go back?"

Song Zhenque's complexion was not very good at this time.

There is only one thing he understands very well, and that is that their army in Dali really needs to support the vitality rice and elixir as soon as possible.

If you can't outperform your opponent in this respect, it will be impossible to level the front.

It won't be long before they are defeated.

After pondering for a long time, Song Zhenque sighed helplessly. If he did something wrong, he would always have to pay it back. If the capital city of Dali had made other choices to seal the frontier, maybe it would be different now, and a monster like Shen Mu , but also for his use.

It's just too late to think about it now.

"Don't be impatient, everyone is here, remember the purpose of our trip, we are to get the vitality rice, and the elixir with a [-]-fold increase, as for the other... Now that Dali is facing difficulties, it doesn't matter. Let's go to town..."

Song Zhenque finished speaking.

The car was quiet again.
