Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Chapter 101: Celebrating the New Year at the Border

Chu Biyue woke up at 0025: am on the first day of the new year and said to the cute system, ", Happy New Year!!!"

"Host, Happy New Year, I have a big gift package for you."

Lucky draw: 1. 3000 Lingshi, 2. A small wooden box, 3. A large wooden box.

"Thank you, system. The two wooden boxes must be good things. I'll put them away first. I'll practice for an hour."

He sat on the bed and began to practice, placing the 3000 spiritual stones he had just drawn next to him. He continued to absorb the spiritual power from the spiritual stones, and his practice progressed steadily.

Half an hour later, I stopped at the second level of the Golden Core Stage and consolidated it for another hour. Now I practice well. It is not like the previous foundation-building stage, when the progress was fast but the foundation was unstable. Now I have to stabilize at each level and consolidate before rushing up. If there were no immortal cultivators in this world, no one would hurt me.

"0025, I have broken through the Jindan stage. I want to ask if there are any immortals in this world? If not, where will I go in the future? Where will I go to cultivate immortals and take the next step on the path of cultivating immortals?"

"Host, your destiny is that you will stay in this world for 100 years. After 100 years, I will take you to another planet. In that world, there are many immortal cultivators, and they are as powerful as clouds."

"I understand what you mean. After 100 years, almost all of my relatives will have passed away. There is no point in me staying here. It is time to leave."

"Yes, host, you will be free when you leave. Your parents, uncles, and brothers will almost all have left you by then, and only your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren will be left. After all, you are several generations away from them, and these people are living well, so it will be easy for you to leave."

"When I leave, I will take Luo Chen, Chen Chen, Dongnan, Xibei, and Chunxia, ​​Qiudong with me. As for the others with spiritual roots, I'll ask them before making a decision."

"Host, of course you can take them with you, but they must all reach the Golden Core Stage before they can leave with you."

"System, I know, will make them practice martial arts well, practice well, it's time to go out."

When I left the room, there was a thick layer of snow outside. The whole courtyard was covered with white and the sky was gray. The snow had not stopped yet and the yard was covered with snow. It was really beautiful.

Bi Yue was dressed warmly, wearing a fox fur cloak and red high-top leather boots with fur inside to keep her warm. Xiao Mai and Chen Chun were making snowmen outside, and when they saw the young lady coming, they happily invited her to play with them.

Bi Yue asked them both, "Where did Luo Chen and Chen Chen go? Why can't we see them?"

"They went to the military camp early with Han Shaoqing and his son. They said they had something to discuss today."

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there will be military news.

Black Mountain City Lord Yan Zhiqiang held an emergency meeting in the conference hall. He received a message from a carrier pigeon and learned that Shangyou City had been occupied by Han Shaoqing in a strange way, so they were a little scared. The city had changed hands silently.

Black Mountain City is more than an hour away from Shangyou City. If the city is captured now, the consequences will be serious and he will be charged with death. The city is now on high alert, strictly checking strangers entering and leaving the city gate, and has sent two teams out to investigate.

Now Heishan City doesn't dare to send out troops to attack Shangyou City. The atmosphere of wait-and-see is thick, and Shangyou City has now gained a moment of peace.

Today I received a pigeon letter from General Zhu Jingtang, saying that the war over there is raging. The two armies started fighting before the New Year, and now several days have passed, and many soldiers on both sides have been killed or wounded.

Han Shaoqing felt bad when he received the letter. It was freezing cold and the soldiers were fighting bravely at the front. Fortunately, Zhu Jingtang personally led more than 20 troops. He was a veteran who had fought in many battles and would naturally capture Baishui City in one fell swoop.

How could they be so careless with such important supplies as food and fodder? Not only were they robbed by the enemy, but a lot of food and fodder was also burned. The soldiers who were responsible for escorting and guarding the food must be severely punished.

Even though Han Shaoqing cursed, he still had to send someone over to say hello and deliver some food and fodder, as a way of wishing the other party a happy new year. He couldn't decide who to send, so he asked his son to ask Bi Yue to come over and discuss it with them.

So he sent his son to invite Biyue. Luo Chen returned to the courtyard where he lived and came to the small courtyard where Biyue and the others lived. From afar, he saw Yue'er and Xiaomai in the snow. Chen Chun and the other two were making a snowman in the yard. Yue'er standing in the snow looked like a fairy from the sky who had fallen into the mortal world. She was so noble and beautiful that his eyes widened and his little heart was beating fast.

When the three saw Luo Chen coming back, they all stood up and walked over to ask, "Did something happen in the military camp?"

"We are relatively stable here, nothing happened, but something happened to General Zhu Jingtang, so they sent two lieutenant generals and more than a thousand soldiers to guard the grain and grass.

However, the enemy sneaked in and attacked successfully. The two sides fought fiercely, with countless casualties. More than half of the food and grass were burned, and there was only enough for five or six days.

Now we are allocating food and grass to the surrounding counties, but we don't know how much support the surrounding counties can provide. He asked us what the situation is like here, and said that letting us guard Shangyou City is the greatest help to him. "

Bi Yue heard that the army's food supplies were not only robbed but also burned. This is not good. Who is the general in charge of the army's food supplies?

"He is the eldest son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, named Liu Mingchao. His uncle is Qu Qiuyuan, the brother-in-law of General Wei Xiong. There is also another one named Guan Pingzhi, who has a shallow background. His father is Guan Daxing, a fourth-rank general, who also serves in the same military camp." Luo Chen introduced the relationships involved.

"You made such a big mistake, you should be punished, right? This is related to the food problem of the entire army."

"The letter only said that the two generals were punished, but it didn't give any detailed information about how they were punished."

"Then let's go over there now and see what the situation is before making a decision. It's useless to talk about it here."

The four of them walked to the military camp. Their residence was not far from the meeting hall. The snow on the road was quite thick. The snow fell heavily, and the newly swept snow was covered with another layer.

"Yue'er, I have arranged for my subordinates to recruit some young and strong people who have nothing to do to sweep the snow on the city streets. They will be paid 30 cents a day. Each person will be responsible for a section of the road. There will also be soldiers patrolling and checking. If anyone is found to be cheating, not only will they not be paid, but they will also be beaten with a stick."

"This is a good idea. It will stop those who are lazy and cunning. People who work hard will never stop doing their work for 30 cents."

After an incense stick of time, the four of them arrived at the military camp and entered a large house. Han Shaoqing, his sons and three other deputy generals were there, and they were discussing who should go to General Zhu Jingtang.

Seeing Bi Yue and the other three coming in, he asked them to sit down. After they greeted each other, they sat on the chairs to discuss the matter.
