Lian Nishang put her sword behind her back, wore a red dress with a white shirt, and tied her ponytail high. She nodded and led the way.
Three cavalrymen followed behind him, but they were all big and formed an inverted triangle. Their heavy armor rubbed out a unique rhythm as they walked in unison.
"I have seen this woman before."
"When I followed the general to Qingshan County to fight at Tianxiong Pass, I saw this man seeing me off."
Liu Qing and Yun Tiansheng walked side by side, and Lu Ming followed behind and communicated with them.
"This man is the patrol captain of Qingshan County. He was once a colleague and friend of the general!"
"This time, we escorted hundreds of corpses of Tianguan demons to Jinguan City, and our contribution is invaluable."
"But the main purpose of this Captain Lian this time is to escort an old man to the Ninth Mountain! This is what the general ordered!"
"This old man once served the general when he was in low position, and he has a close relationship with the general. By the way, the old man is ill now, so when you go in later, don't mention the general's whereabouts!"
Yun Tiansheng looked straight ahead, listened carefully to the message, and did not forget to explain a few things. This was also what Captain Lian had instructed him to do.
After hearing that, Lu Ming perked up. No wonder Yun Tiansheng reminded him several times. It turned out that he was an old man beside the general. Naturally, he would not treat him lightly.
The general was a man of nostalgia, and because of this, they were willing to work for him.
Soon, the friction sound of heavy iron armor was heard, and Lian Nishang in front stopped in front of a door.
There are soldiers guarding the door.
Lian Nishang pushed the door open and walked in. A faint smell of medicine lingered in the air. In the spacious front hall of the room, by the window, a maid in a Tang-style skirt was squatting by the charcoal stove, fanning herself with a small fan while simmering the stove. Others walked out from behind the screen carrying copper basins, each busy with their own things.
Seeing Lian Nishang come in, the maids stood up or put down their clothes, turned their bodies to the side, put their hands on their waists, and bowed.
"Captain Lian!"
Lian Nishang nodded and asked the pretty maid named Xiaohe who had just put down the basin, "How is the old man?"
Xiao He placed her hands neatly in front of her belly and answered crisply, "The old man just took a nap and is feeling better. I helped him wash his face and prepared to boil the medicine with the other sisters."
"Okay." Lian Nishang walked straight behind the screen.
At this time, Yun Tiansheng and his two companions also stepped over the threshold. When the maids saw the three cavalrymen, they hurriedly tried to salute them again, but Yun Tiansheng raised his hand to stop them and waved his hand, saying, "Go and do your own things."
"Yes!"
As they spoke, the three of them stopped in the front hall and did not follow behind the screen.
After more than a dozen breaths, Lian Nishang's voice came from behind the screen, "The three generals, please come in."
The three of them then walked around the screen and saw an old man half lying on the bed. The old man had a haggard face, almost no blood on his face, and looked very weak.
"Mr. Wu, these are three trusted generals under my command. They are very capable and good at fighting. They came to see you!" Lin Nishang, who was standing beside the bed, explained to the old man on the bed.
This old man is none other than Old Wu, who almost got into trouble in Qingshan County last time!
The brother said that he wanted to take the old man back to the Ninth Mountain to retire. Obviously, he was worried that Qingshan County was no longer safe. So Lian Nishang escorted the old man here after her brother lost contact.
At this time, Old Wu was still very weak after being saved from the death by Chen Yuan. When he heard that the general under the master came to see him, he opened his eyelids and felt unworthy. He was just a useless old man who had been mediocre all his life. Only Master Chen was willing to take him seriously, but he couldn't take it for granted. He struggled to get up and wanted to get out of bed.
"Mr. Wu, you are still weak!" Lian Nishang spoke, pressing the old man's shoulders.
Seeing this, Yun Tiansheng and the other two hurriedly said, "Old man, you should get some rest. We are waiting for you to come and take a look. You should not get out of bed. Otherwise, the general will hear about it and punish you by military law."
Old Wu was pushed back, his mouth corners pulled, although he was weak, but there was a light in his eyes, he smiled, "No, sir, I am a man of temperament. Thank you for bothering the three generals to come and see an old man like me. I can make wine, and when I get better, you generals can have a taste."
These extremely simple words made people feel comfortable, and also made the three cavalrymen feel a sense of familiarity with the old man in front of them.
"I didn't expect the old man had this skill. I'll have to try it someday."
Yun Tiansheng took over the conversation in a natural tone, and then said in a gentle voice, "The demons on the front line are beginning to stir. The general has gone to the front line to inspect the area and has asked you to recuperate well in the Ninth Mountain. Lieutenant Lian must have told you, so you can rest assured to stay here."
"Okay, I hope you are safe and sound." Old Wu nodded. As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower. His open eyelids began to feel tired and slowly drooped. It was obvious that it took a lot of effort for him to talk to people.
Seeing this, Lu Ming and Liu Qing's eyes moved, and they were about to say something, but Yun Tiansheng spoke up, "Let the old man rest!"
Then he looked at Lian Nishang and raised his hand, "Captain Lian, please come out and explain later!"
After saying that, Yun Tiansheng and the other two left the room first.
After a while, Lian Nishang came out, looked at the three people, and spoke first, "But have the three generals got any news about my brother?"
"Not yet. We are trying to find a solution. Captain Lian, are you familiar with a man beside the general, Gongsun Yang?" Yun Tiansheng spoke at the right time. He wanted to ask the old man beside the general, but seeing that he was too weak, he did not speak. As a second choice, he asked Lian Nishang, who also had a close relationship with the general.
When Lian Nishang heard the name, she immediately thought of the old man with a goatee. She had fought side by side with the demons when they attacked Qingshan County. She knew a little about this man. She looked at him in surprise and asked, "Don't you know that the Qingshan Suppressing Demons Story was written by this man?"
"This person comes from a lineage of novelists among hundreds of schools, and can use characters from books for his own purposes."
",,,,,,,,,"
After a while, Lian Nishang finished speaking, and Yun Tiansheng and the other two looked at each other and thought they should give it a try. "Send someone to pass the message to Chuanzhongguan later."
As they talked, it gradually got darker, and as time passed, night fell.
Not long after, in the military camp at the foot of the Ninth Mountain, a captain in blue armor quickly walked out of the tower behind the reviewing platform.
Then he jumped onto the Aotian Falcon that was waiting under the command platform!
Then, with a cry, the Aotian Falcon spread its wings and turned into a silver light, rushing into the sky and galloping towards that direction.
After half an hour, the silver light rushed to the vast plains nearly 200 miles outside Jinguan City.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound between heaven and earth!
Below, an arrow flashed with incredible speed, blasting the silver light in the sky apart.
"Who is it?" The captain in green armor was blown away, his face changed drastically and he let out a loud shout.
But the next second, a twisted black hand hidden in the darkness was placed on his head, which was extremely weird.
Someone actually dared to intercept and kill the troops rushing 800 miles from the Ninth Mountain!
An hour later, in the deep night, there was a knock on the door of a backyard in the Jin family in North City. (End of this chapter)
