For example, outside the cloth market on Dongling South Street, there is a very small and ordinary noodle shop.

The owner of the shop is named Zhang Sanliang. He was a vegetable farmer in the early years. Later, when he had some savings, he opened this shop. This man in his forties is an honest man who usually doesn’t talk much. He drinks at most three liang and drinks casually.

, the bowl of noodles I ordered was exactly three taels.

"Forget it, I won't do it."

As usual, he was kneading the dough well, but suddenly he slapped the dough on the table and gave an annoyed shout.

"Why are you so nervous?"

His wife, a woman wearing a patched thin cotton-padded jacket with her sleeves rolled up, was startled and cursed.

"I don't know what the big deal is. What if there's going to be another war soon, and some barbarians are coming... What's the point of making noodles?"

Zhang Sanliang looked at the dough in front of him with a sullen face, as if it was the Da Mang army that was causing them trouble, and he was very anxious.

Neighbors who were waiting to eat noodles in the shop suddenly heard that he wanted to close the shop suddenly, and they were immediately unhappy. They all clamored for noodles, and at least they wanted to eat all the noodles in the shop first.

"Even if you're going to die soon, you can at least be a dead man!"

"I finally saved up some coins. Is it so difficult to eat a bowl of noodles for my birthday? I haven't had meat soup noodles for a long time!"

Someone banged the table angrily and yelled.

Everyone in this noodle shop is a little anxious.

The spring rainy season in southern Yunqin has passed, and it hasn't rained for several days. For example, the streets in Dongling are a bit dusty... Everyone in Dongling seems to be very anxious.

In the early morning of this morning, news came out from the military headquarters and the Ling Governor's Mansion, saying that something big would happen in Dongling today. However, the whole Lingcheng people were trying to find out what big thing was going to happen, but they couldn't find out at all.

When he came out, he just said that this news was just passed back from the frontier, but there was a rumor that if he left Rudong Tomb today, he would regret it.

In the past year, even if there was no direct war in Tangling, all ordinary people have suffered from the war.

Many people left Rutung Ling and fled because they were worried about the failure of the previous battle, and many farmers had no harvests from their farmland.

Many businessmen's business is bleak.

Many people like Zhang Sanliang, who just want to run a small business in peace and quiet, live a peaceful life without wandering around, always feel that even eating and sleeping are not stable, and they relapse at any time... and then inexplicably feel that their life is boring.

Tasteless, boring.

…

For example, on the city wall of Dongling, there is an ordinary Wu guard sergeant named Liu Gengtian wearing black armor.

He was originally just like Zhang Sanliang, an ordinary Dongling person.

His ancestors had always been long-term workers. It was not until the founding of Yunqin that his father's generation finally purchased a few acres of fertile land and had his own family property. Such peace and tranquility was not easy for his family, so

His father named him Liu Zhongtian, hoping that he could farm well and live a good life.

It’s just constant fighting and constant deaths... More troops passed through Rudong Tomb, but few came back. Today I heard where Da Mang’s army had fought, and tomorrow I heard it was time to flee... Liu Zhongtian felt the same as Zhang Sanliang about this day.

Life was boring, so he relied on his strength and connections to join the army.

If there really is any big army or rogue bandits that can suddenly rush to Rudong Ling, then let's give it a try.

At this moment, the city wall was dark in color and his hands were covered with calluses. This was what Liu Zhongtian thought.

However, he never saw any troops, or heard news from above that the frontline troops were fighting again.

In the midday sun, he just saw a group of people appearing on the official road.

For example, there was an inexplicable commotion on the tower of Dongling.

Because all the sergeants on the tower could see that the group of people were somewhat different from ordinary people. Even though they were far apart, they could feel the fatigue of the group of people and an indescribable edge.

There are many soldiers who have retired from the front line in Lingcheng. Some are still recovering from their injuries, some have already served as instructors of local armies, and some will become captains of some armies, leading some new troops with little combat experience to rush to the front line again. This

Among them, there are many people who have retreated from Qianxia Mountain before, many people who have experienced the defeat of half of Nanling Province, many people who have experienced several battles at Falling Star Tomb, and even some people who have participated in the battles of Dongjing Tomb and Shaohua Tomb.

These people have seen many high-ranking generals on the front line and have seen the battles of some powerful practitioners on the front line.

As the outlines of the people on the official road became clearer and clearer, their breathing began to quicken, and their chests began to feel as hot as burning.

These people are now serious offenders to the whole of Yunqin.

It’s just that they have all seen these people fight with their own eyes.

I have seen them ignore pain, life and death, even if they are so exhausted that they can hardly stand still, they still fight to protect the land of Yunqin... How can these people who don't even care about their own life and death be criminals?

…

The anxiety in Zhang Sanliang's noodle shop is getting stronger and stronger.

Zhang Sanliang said in annoyance that in this world there are only those who force girls into prostitution, but there are no people who force people to make noodles.

Someone even shouted angrily, "Brother, I just want to have a good bowl of Yangchun noodles with meat soup."

Some people who later walked into the shop and wanted to eat noodles thought that the previous diners had offended the boss, and started to ask questions again.

It seems that a fight is about to break out in this shop.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the street outside, "Master Xiaolin is here, he is outside the city!"

Just with this sound, everyone in the noodle shop suddenly froze and stopped moving.

"Wen Ren... Wen Ren Cang Yue... was captured by Master Xiao Lin and others!"

Then, there was another sound filled with indescribable vibrato.

"Wenren Cang Yue was caught!"

Then, this sound seemed to be heard throughout the mausoleum city.

Everyone in the whole shop looked at each other.

Suddenly no one wanted to eat noodles anymore.

Everyone is no longer anxious.

Everyone opened their mouths, as if they wanted to breathe out some emotion in their bodies.

There was a "click" sound.

Zhang Sanliang was the first to run out of the noodle shop.

He is the person who is most familiar with the threshold of noodle shops, but he tripped over the threshold and almost fell down.

The sound of heavy footsteps, like the sound of a bell, completely woke up everyone in the shop.

Everyone yelled and ran out as hard as they could.

There are people running in all the streets and alleys.

People all over the city seemed to be running.

Most of them didn't even know which city gate Lin Xi was outside, but at this moment it seemed that they didn't need to ask anything at all, they could just follow the flow of people.

Some people were in such a hurry that they still held half-eaten buns in their hands.

Some people run so fast that they don't even notice that one of their shoes has fallen off.

For example, in the military camp in Donglingling Governor's Mansion, there were many veterans recuperating from their injuries.

Some people are not at a low level.

Among them was an old man with a broken arm.

Today, when he heard the news that Lin Xi had captured Wen Ren Cang Yue, the old man burst into laughter.

"Excellent! Excellent!"

The old man said it twice in a row and laughed several times.

He forgot to control his breath for a moment, and with a crash, his bed was shaken away, and all the medicine jars and other objects around him were also shaken to pieces.

…

Lin Xi stopped in an open space outside the south gate of Ru Dongling.

It was originally a place where many caravans stopped while waiting to clear customs. Over time, the ground became flat and solid.

Nowadays, there are very few caravans passing through Dongling, less than one-tenth of the number before, so this place seems extremely empty and large.

Among the people following Lin Xi at this moment, there were no Zhantai Qiantang, Shi Qian, Nangong Weiyang and others, but there were Leng Qiuyu and Hua Jiyue.

"I won't go into town."

Lin Xi looked at the top generals in front of him like Dongling, and said in a low voice: "I know that you were all brought by General Gu from the Dragon Snake Mountain Range. I am a repeat offender to the Imperial City of Zhongzhou, so I will not give it to you.

Looking for trouble. I want to see Meng Bai."

After respectfully asking Lin Xi if he had any other requests, these top generals such as Dongling retreated into the city, organized a cordon at the city gate, but opened the city tower to let in those who came from all over the city.

, you can climb the city wall and see clearly Lin Xi and Wenren Cangyue kneeling in front of Lin Xi.

Wen Ren Cang Yue is still alive.

After knowing that Lin Xi and others' decision could not be changed, he became completely desperate, closed his eyes and stopped making any sound.

There was no blood on his face at this moment, and his body was bloody and bloody. However, the power he had accumulated over the years and his natural iron-blooded aura still made ordinary people feel inexplicable palpitations.
