The roaring wind swept up the yellow sand and beat the passers-by.

The flying sand in the sky dyed the whole world yellow, and Yao Xiong couldn't help but squint his eyes. He had to cover his face with a cloth and looked at Tian Zili beside him.

"Are you sure you're coming back today?"

"It's today."

"Why did you choose a time like this? The yellow sand blocks the sun. Couldn't my brother come a few days earlier?"

Tian Zili said calmly: "You can wait until your brother arrives to tell him this."

Yao Xiong laughed, "I don't dare."

A few dark shadows appeared vaguely in the wind and sand.

They tore through the endless wind and sand, and the horse's hooves landed heavily, calm and powerful, carrying its invincible master through the wind and sand.

The horses under Tian Zili and others started neighing at this moment, as if they were expecting an 'old friend' to arrive, and they were extremely excited.

The group of people walked through the wind and sand and slowly came to Tian Zili and others.

Tian Zili and others jumped off their horses and walked forward quickly.

"Meet my lord!!"

"Get up and mount your horse."

Liu Taozi said.

Everyone hurriedly got on their horses. Yao Xiong rode forward, pushed Kou Liu out of Liu Taozi's side, and rode beside him. Kou Liu glanced at him, shook his head, and said nothing.

"Brother, you are finally here!"

"I have suffered a lot during your absence. As soon as you left, the otherwise peaceful soldiers immediately began to disobey. My inspection team was attacked three times, and the white horse garrison was attacked.

Commander! He openly disobeyed the general’s orders and directly allowed his subordinates to go out and plunder, and even robbed his own family members.”

Tian Zili glared at Yao Xiong, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Yao Xiong shrugged and stopped talking. Tian Zili then said: "Brother, don't worry, nothing serious happened."

"Most of the border soldiers are arrogant, but they are difficult to control without you, and they don't obey us at all. Fortunately, with the help of the king, no big trouble happened."

Only after Taozi left could Tian Zili and others see clearly the true face of these border soldiers.

On the third day after Liu Taozi left, these people who usually greeted them with smiles and got along very friendly began to test the bottom line of Tian Zili and others little by little. A little indulgence will make a big difference.

to the past momentum.

Tian Zili also thought of many ways to deal with this, and used Liu Taozi's methods to severely suppress the unkind and promote the friendly, but this was of no use.

The same method was implemented by Tian Zili and others, but it was much different.

They colluded with each other, bent the law for personal gain, and even openly resisted. Yao Xiong was attacked several times.

Tian Zili couldn't even understand their brain circuits. What they did was as if Liu Taozi had gone away and would never come back. They didn't think about the consequences at all.

Of course, this is also a major characteristic of border soldiers. Are they still border soldiers who think about the consequences of their actions?

Therefore, Tian Zili chose the most effective method and asked King Lou to come out for help.

Tian Zili couldn't help but sigh: "If there is no King Lou this time, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

"These people are unruly and arrogant. Only after my brother left did we really see clearly."

"My brother is the only one who is cunning, insidious, arrogant, and cruel and can rein in these wild horses. We cannot do this. We have let my brother down."

Tian Zili lowered his head.

Liu Taozi's face remained calm, "It's okay. How can years of bad habits be corrected in just a few days?"

Yao Xiong spoke again: "Brother, the temple also sent a general to suppress the situation. This time we have a better memory and don't dare to deal with it alone, so we called King Lou in advance."

"King Lou captured General Nazhen and is now imprisoned in his mansion."

"oh?"

This is something Liu Taozi has never thought about, "General Zhen?"

"Yes, my surname is Liu. He is from the Huns. I heard he is the son of some great nobleman. He is not worth mentioning. He is extremely incompetent!"

Tian Zili said quietly: "The incompetence is because we met King Dong'an. If we were to face him, I'm afraid something big would happen."

Tian Zili admired Lou Rui very much at this moment, "It's thanks to King Dong'an that I can keep the family business this time."

The group continued to move forward, the wind and sand slowly subsided, and the villages in the distance gradually emerged.

In the past, this place was a desolate and empty wasteland. You could hardly encounter any prey along the way. But now, this empty land is also dotted with some villages and towns.

Although those villages and towns are all khaki, the same color as the ground and the sky, after all, there is something there and they are no longer empty.

Tian Zili also hurriedly spoke, "The civilian men of each garrison have been arranged to go inside and outside the town and set up ten, hundreds, or thousands of households to take charge."

"However, these thousand households basically don't need it."

"During this period, a large number of dead people fled, many of whom came from outside the Great Wall. There were so many people that it was difficult to arrange them. Fortunately, after Wei Gong learned about it, he sent many casual officials to help."

"Currently, thirty-three villages and towns have been established around Wuchuan. This is indeed much better than the previous management methods. High walls have been set up along these villages and towns. Wuchuan no longer has to rely solely on the city for defense, and the defense range has been increased to prevent bandits and bandits.

It’s easier to catch people coming in and out.”

Yao Xiong has been waiting for Tian Zili to finish speaking.

After Tian Zili finished speaking, Yao Xiong hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about the boring things here. Brother, I heard that you went to Yubi City alone this time, captured Wei Xiaokuan and returned alive. Is it true?"

Liu Taozi did not answer.

Kou Liu couldn't help but said: "We have captured a doctor! If Wei Xiaokuan is captured, my brother should return home holding the Emperor's Scepter."

"Then why not arrest him?"

Chu Jiande laughed and scolded: "You Qihu, if the lord doesn't ask for guilt, you won't treat the border soldiers, but you want to ask the lord for the crime?"

Everyone laughed.

Tian Zili also had a lot of joy on his face, "Brother, this important event has been spread in the border fortress. A general came to read your deeds in person, saying that you have contributed to the country's prestige, so the whole world should celebrate together, and even rewarded you with drinks.

!”

"oh?"

"A person sent by His Majesty?"

"Yes, I heard that people were sent from various places to reward them with good wine and let them celebrate together."

Chu Jiande opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty wanted to send an envoy before, but he didn't dare to announce it. He was afraid that the arrogant and powerful generals would not accept it, thought he was cowardly, and were afraid of the puppet Zhou Dynasty."

"Before setting off, I heard many people criticize this matter and felt it was inappropriate."

"This time my lord has captured the enemy's doctor alive, your majesty will naturally spread the word everywhere to let everyone know that he is not afraid of becoming an enemy of the Puppet Zhou."

After everyone talked for a while, Kou Liu suddenly asked: "Where are Lord Cui, Lord Blackfoot, and Lord Tuxi? Why didn't you come to greet them?"

"Cui Gang is in the city, and there are many things to do, and he can't get away. Zhang Heizu is in Huaishuo, arresting a few important criminals, and Tu Xiyue and the others are escorting the prisoners."

Tian Zili added: "Brother, the king asked me to tell you that when you come back, you must first go to him and meet him."

"Um."

"You guys go back to Wuchuan first. Xiong, take a few people with you and follow me to see Mr. Lou."

"only!!"

Liu Taozi led Yao Xiong towards Zhaoyuan City, while Tian Zili and others continued towards Wuchuan.

It was quiet outside Zhaoyuan City.

Several soldiers were walking back and forth. There were no officials at the city gate. When footsteps were heard in the wind and sand, the soldiers quickly raised their spears and said, "Stop!!"

Liu Taozi walked out of the wind and sand and looked at the few soldiers in front of her.

The soldier was horrified and quickly knelt on the ground.

"General!!"

Liu Taozi ignored them, led the cavalry behind him, and rushed directly into the city.

It wasn't until Liu Taozi rushed over that the soldiers stood up, their eyes full of fear, "General Mandrill is back!"

"Quick, tell brothers!"

"No more going out!"

Liu Taozi came all the way to the state government office. The servants of the state government office knew Liu Taozi and took him to see Lou Rui with a friendly face.

"Good nephew!!"

"Bah, bah."

Lou Rui walked out of the house drunkenly, couldn't help spitting, and cursed: "The frontier fortress is so bad, you will eat a mouthful of sand when you open your mouth!"

He directly took Liu Taozi's hand, hurriedly walked into the house, closed the door, and dusted himself off in disgust.

"Obviously when I was young, things were not like this here. How many years have passed!"
