The soldiers, the first batch of young and middle-aged Yellow Turban men and women, as well as Zhao Yun, one of his right-hand men, and all the people who came including Zhen Mi and Lu Hong, were all shocked and excited like Liu Zhaoqing when they saw the Yellow Turban people walking on the Windless Avenue.

Soon after, when the Yellow Turbans arrived in front of Changping City, Liu Zhaoqing wanted to welcome them, but the people were even more excited than he was.

One after another, they knelt and kowtowed to Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Jiao, and the titles of "Great and Good Teacher" and "Mr. Liu" were heard everywhere.

The reason why the Yellow Turbans were able to come here was because of Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Jiao. Each of their families, or even most of the people, did not know each other before coming here.

But they were all hard-working people who suffered from disease, hunger and hardship after the disaster. If the Great Sage had not brought his sisters and followers to save them from death with talisman water and food, they would have turned into piles of bones everywhere on the roadside.

The newly reborn Yellow Turban people were unwilling to stay in their original place. Their land was not taken away, the officials colluded with the nobles, and no one cared about the lives of the people. The place that was originally called "hometown" had no place for them to survive.

They were refugees and victims of disasters, but now, they had a new identity: the people of the Yellow Turbans.

The Yellow Turban people who suffered from the disaster would not be discouraged by the sandstorms, nor would they be dissatisfied because of the ruined Changping City.

Liu Zhaoqing's heart was filled with excitement. The population brought by his wife was not only a timely help, but also the people who regarded him as their faith did not need him to be benevolent. He was completely supported by the people and formed a truly solid foundation.

"Zilong, quickly have everyone lead the people into the city in an orderly manner. We will not do anything today. First, clean up the houses in the city and let everyone move in."

"And Bao'er, go back to the mansion quickly and send another letter to Wenyuan who is going to Jicheng, asking her to buy more pigs, cattle, sheep, food suitable for storage, cloth and other necessities on credit, and ship them together with the building materials... But we don't have carrier pigeons or falcons here... We do, Zhen Mi, yours is Yoyo..."

Liu Zhaoqing gave instructions to everyone, and after receiving the order, Zhao Yun immediately called the soldiers with a smile to pick up the villagers.

After hearing what Liu Zhaoqing said, Zhen Mi hurried back to the mansion with Baoer, and then asked Youyou to come out and asked her to send the letter back as soon as possible.

Then Liu Zhaoqing asked Liu Pi, Gong Du and Bo Cai to take a few people to clean up the other wells that had been discovered in the city. So many people had walked for such a long time, and "clean water" was definitely what they needed most.

"Qingjun has returned to his familiar self." Zhang Jiao said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Zhaoqing was surprised for a moment, then started laughing.

The biggest worry in my heart was resolved all at once. Without the pressure, my mood naturally became relaxed.

"This is all thanks to my good wife."

"Qing Jun..."

Seeing Zhang Jiao suddenly lower her head and whisper a reminder, Liu Zhaoqing realized that he and she were still near the city gate, and a large number of Yellow Turbans were passing by them.

Although it was almost certain that the people would not understand, Liu Zhaoqing had no choice but to stop talking because the beauty was shy.

"Mr. Liu! Mr. Liu! I finally see him!"

"Great and Good Master! We can finally follow the Yellow Turbans!"

When the people passed by Liu Zhaoqing, many of them shed tears. But because Zhang Jiao was a woman, Liu Zhaoqing had to bear the touching and enthusiasm of two people. When multiplied by the number of people, it was truly "ten thousand touching moments."

He kept shaking hands with his people, and the cuffs of his originally gray clothes were stained with sand and mud at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the smile on Liu Zhaoqing's face never stopped.

Fortunately, with Zhao Yun's command, the people entered the city quickly and in an orderly manner. After a full hour, only the tail of the people who entered Changping City like a clear stream were left.

Although Liu Zhaoqing was very happy, his hands were a little numb after shaking hands for an hour, and even the smile on his face was almost twitching.

Seeing that everyone was finally entering the city, he felt relieved. Not only was he glad that everyone was healthy and no one was killed or injured along the way, he was also glad that he could finally relax his facial expression.

Then he asked in confusion: "By the way, where are Zhou Cang, Deng Mao and the others? Jiao'er, didn't you say they were escorting the people?"

Zhang Jiao smiled with her hands covering her mouth, "Qingjun fainted from the handshake, aren't they in the yellow sand?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaoqing raised his head and looked into the distance again.

Sure enough, outside Changping City, which had returned to the yellow sand sky, several blurry shadows were seen coming towards them.

Not long after, before I could see his face clearly, a familiar voice came.

"Master! And Madam! We are finally here!!"

"Come on, Deng Maogaosheng He Yi, let's transport the things over quickly!"

After the burly Zhou Cang finished speaking, Liu Zhaoqing saw two carriages approaching from a distance. The coachmen on the carriages were the thinner Gao Sheng and He Yi.

Zhou Cang and Deng Mao, who had decent fighting skills, were riding on horses with weapons in their hands, acting as guards.

When the carriage arrived in front of Liu Zhaoqing, he saw that the wheels were slightly deformed, and there was no doubt that they were filled with heavy objects and valuables.

"Yuanfu, you are finally here." Liu Zhaoqing looked at Zhou Cang with shining eyes, then walked quickly forward.

Zhou Cang also dismounted quickly and leaned his sword against the wall. Then, along with Deng Mao, Gao Sheng and He Yi who also dismounted, they bowed their heads to Liu Zhaoqing and spoke respectfully:

"Your subordinate Zhou Cang greets Lord Liu!"

"Your subordinate Deng Mao..."

……

The four powerful voices made Liu Zhaoqing excited again, and he hurried forward to help several Yellow Turban heroes stand up.

"Hurry up, you have done a great job in escorting these 5,000 Yellow Turbans to Changping safely!"

Zhou Cang stood up and said quickly: "We joined the Yellow Turbans just to follow the Great Sage Master and Lord Liu, and the people did the same. It is not a great achievement, but our duty."

"Sister Yuanfu is right. It is a great honor for us to be trusted by the Great Sage and Mr. Liu and to serve in such an important position." Deng Mao also said at this time.

Gao Sheng and He Yi also nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Zhaoqing, then at Zhou Cang and the others, and smiled, "Okay, okay, did Qingjun forget? Yuanfu, Deng Mao, Gaosheng, and He Yi are all our family members. There's no need to be so polite. Let's move the things in quickly."

"Yes! The things are still outside." Zhou Cang then realized that their mission had not been fully completed.

"Hurry up, these are all our family's belongings. Madam Qian said it was something..."

"'Start-up capital'." Zhang Jiao smiled, "Qingjun told me that."

"Yes, that's it!"

Afterwards, in a cheerful atmosphere, Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Jiao, together with Zhou Cang and others, transported the two carriages to the county magistrate's mansion, and then moved all the goods in the carriages into the mansion.

Later that day, Liu Zhaoqing and everyone else were cleaning the house, but the five thousand Yellow Turbans did not rest there, but took the initiative to join the activity of rebuilding Changping City.

When Zhang Liao returned to Changping City with the goods the next day, she was so surprised that before she could come to her senses, at Zhao Yun's order, the soldiers, the Yellow Turbans, and ordinary people who could work all began to carry down the building materials, cattle, sheep and other items.

In the following week, Changping City was in a state where Zhang Liao took a team to Jicheng to purchase supplies and brought them to Changping, and then the military and civilians in Changping City worked together to rebuild.

When brothers are united they can cut through metal, let alone when the five thousand Yellow Turbans are together with the Great Sage Master and General Tiangong.

No one complained about the hard work, and no one thought of being lazy. Those who had bricklaying skills helped to lay bricks and build walls. Those who had other skills or experience were also doing other things. Even if they didn't know anything, they would give a bowl of water to those who were tired.

The reconstruction of the city's houses was supposed to take a month, but in just seven days, under the leadership of a dozen gifted people, a quarter of them were rebuilt.

And one-fourth of the houses are enough for 5,000 people to live in. Although they are just unfinished houses, everyone finally has a real home.

That night, Liu Zhaoqing asked Baoer to count the number of pigs they had bought, and then prepared to slaughter a few pigs and distribute one pound of meat to each of the approximately one thousand households.

However, after Baoer had made his calculations and Liu Zhaoqing was about to give the order, a soldier suddenly stumbled into the mansion.

"Report! Lord Liu! The aliens are coming!!"

Alien? At this time?

Liu Zhaoqing frowned and quickly asked the sentry in charge of the tower: "Did you see how many aliens there are?"

"About... five or six?"

"..."

Chapter 163 Not very smart

"It seems like there are so many. The vision is blurry in the evening..." The sentry was a little unsure.

"Aliens?! But is it true?!" Baoer, who was holding the brush, suddenly had his eyes lit up.

At this time, Liu Zhaoqing also understood that the sentinel was so panicked not because he was afraid of the arrival of aliens, but because he was excited.

These days, Liu Zhaoqing not only asked Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang and others to lead the people to rebuild Changping City, including building houses, reorganizing streets, etc., but also asked them to tell ordinary people that Changping is the land of the northern frontier.

In addition to the harsh climate, the biggest threats to the northern frontier are ferocious beasts and alien races.

In Liu Zhaoqing's opinion, even in a peaceful environment, one must have a sense of prevention, let alone at the border, so that one can better deal with sudden crises.

Obviously, Liu Zhaoqing's publicity over the past week or so has made everyone aware of the risks, but it has also aroused the curiosity of many people.

Especially during these days, when the 5,000 Yellow Turban people in the city were communicating with each other, someone from Youzhou told others about what the alien races had done over the years.

Including but not limited to the contract with the governor Liu Yu, there were also frequent foreign tribes coming to Youzhou to plunder.

There were even those who took advantage of the situation to loot, and those ungrateful people who took advantage of natural disasters or the influence of ferocious beasts to occupy many lands outside the Great Wall.

This also made the Yellow Turban people in Changping City deeply aware of the evil nature of the foreign races, and the seeds of anger grew in their hearts.

Now that the aliens have suddenly arrived, everyone is of course nervous and excited.

However, the subordinates can be excited, but Liu Zhaoqing, as the lord of a city and the leader of all the people in the city, cannot.

"Bao'er, go and call my wife to go with me to the city wall, and let Gao Sheng bring this news to Captain Zhao who is stationed at the back gate of the city." Liu Zhaoqing said to Bao'er seriously.

Upon seeing this, Baoer stopped laughing and hurried to the backyard to call Zhang Jiao and Gao Sheng.

After a while, Zhang Jiao came to Liu Zhaoqing's side. Liu Zhaoqing didn't explain too much to her. He just said that they should go and take a look at the aliens who had arrived. Then he rode a horse with her towards the main gate.

After arriving at the closed gate, Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Jiao climbed up the city wall which was almost half the height of Luoyang City.

In the pitch-black night, it is impossible to see anything.

It was not until the sentry pointed out something for Liu Zhaoqing that Liu Zhaoqing saw four or five faint lights in the distance in the dim night.

The light was green and flickering, like something used for lighting.

"Judging from the number of lighting equipment, there must be no less than five..." Liu Zhaoqing frowned slightly.

At this time, the sound of horses snorting came from behind. Zhao Yun, wearing silver armor, dismounted and came to the top of the city wall.

"Master Liu, Madam Zhang." Zhao Yun bowed to the two of them and immediately asked, "I heard Gao Sheng said there are foreigners. Where are they?"

At this time, Zhang Jiao gestured to Zhao Yun to look forward: "Captain Zhao, look ahead."

Zhao Yun looked at it intently, and frowned slightly: "Five?"

Since Zhao Yun said five, then there must be five. Liu Zhaoqing standing by also had an idea in his mind.

Zhao Yun also had an idea after thinking for a moment, and immediately asked Liu Zhaoqing: "Master Liu, please let me go. I can kill all the five foreign invaders by myself."

Liu Zhaoqing immediately shook his head.

"Mr. Liu, could it be that..."

"Zilong is overthinking. How could I doubt that Zilong cannot defeat these five foreigners?" Liu Zhaoqing guessed what Zhao Yun was going to say and said with a smile.

"But these five aliens cannot be killed. If they are killed, their value will be gone."

value?

Zhao Yun thought about it and understood what Liu Zhaoqing meant: "Master Liu, do you want to... get information from these foreigners?"

"That's right." Liu Zhaoqing once again sighed at Zhao Yun's intelligence and explained in detail: "Not only do we need to see if we can find information about the tribe that Zhen Mi mentioned as 'riding birds and beasts', but the most important thing is the current situation outside the Great Wall and even outside Yanshan."

"Although our Changping has just started, and we haven't even solved the problem of food and clothing for the 5,000 people in the city, it is definitely best to understand the enemy as soon as possible."

Zhao Yun naturally understood the principle of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy. After nodding, Zhao Yun said again: "Then, how about I go and capture those five people?"

Liu Zhaoqing shook his head again: "The items possessed by the aliens all come from the North. They may have some unknown way to communicate with the tribe. If we go out rashly, they will notice it in advance and may sound an alarm."

"This alien team of only five people came to Changping. It's obvious that they think Changping is an empty city, so we just need to wait and see."

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and looked at Zhang Jiao: "However, if we want them to come here without worries, we have to create some conditions. This depends on Madam."

-

Outside Changping City, five big men wearing fur coats and with full beards were heading towards Changping City.

"Hey, Aru, can we really find water in Changping? I heard someone say that there is nothing there anymore."

At the front, the leader holding a green gem in his hand stopped and the jade used for lighting swept across his face where his right eye was blind.

"If we hadn't encountered some trouble on the road, would we have come here?" someone objected.

"But even if we have to spend the night outside, we should go to a Han Chinese family. Why are we running to this place?"

"Okay!" Just when a quarrel was about to break out, the leader "Alu" spoke up in time.

"It is true that we encountered some ferocious beasts. More importantly, this place is very close to the Great Wall, where a large number of Han troops are stationed. We have to avoid them or find out about them." Aru said as he continued walking.

"That's unnecessary. The Han army in Youzhou are all very cowardly. They only dare to hide at home and dare not run out of the Great Wall. Even the governor of Youzhou only gives us money. Other tribes will fall for that, but we won't."

"This is the master's order." Alu said again.

Now the remaining four people had no objection, but one person still whispered: "My lord, this is a bit too cautious."
