Chapter 185 Farewell to Huangpi
When Zhao Lanyue opened her eyes, it was already daylight.

After lazily lying on the bed for a while, she reluctantly got up.

She hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, and she was full of reluctance.

After opening the window of the room, she realized that everyone else had already woken up, and there were busy figures everywhere in the yard.

Soon, the two maids who served her in Xiangyang knocked on the door and came in to help her dress up. They had been waiting for her.

Everything is a familiar feeling, very beautiful.

It would be better if you don't have to keep wandering.

"We have to go, you can only eat breakfast on the way!" Gao Lei came in and sat aside when the girls were combing Zhao Lanyue's hair.

Zhao Lanyue likes to sleep. Everyone who knows her well knows that no one will disturb her unless it is extremely urgent.

"It seems that you still haven't slept well, you shouldn't! What are you worried about now?" Zhao Lanyue turned her head to look at Gao Lei and said.

Although Gao Lei's complexion has improved obviously, her tired face remains the same.

But the news came last night that Li Ping had already passed Zuo Liangyu's test, and no one would hold him accountable for killing Fang Wuke the day before yesterday and annihilating Fang Guoan's troops. He was no longer in danger for the time being. .

Gao Lei rubbed her forehead and said dejectedly: "When I think that we have to go back to Zuo Liangyu's army, I feel uncomfortable and feel very confused."

For her, the shock of the day before yesterday could not be forgotten immediately, and I am afraid that it will leave a serious shadow for a long time.

"Sister, this time we are following Zuo Liangyu's army, so we don't need to get mixed up, and this time there is a fool like Li Ping guarding us, so you don't have to worry at all." Zhao Lanyue comforted.

Not long after she woke up, she was still not very sober, and her thoughts were simple.

"Idiot!" Gao Lei repeated with a wry smile.

"Ah! I'm joking, don't mind." Zhao Lanyue hurriedly made amends, and she became sober, and she realized that many things had changed.

However, Gao Lei didn't bother with this problem, but complained: "I don't understand why we continue to mix with Zuo Liangyu's army, it's not a human army! Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black, Look at the soldiers of Zhao Jin and Shi Ming...the good guys have all turned into bad guys."

Speaking of Zhao Jin and Shi Ming, Gao Lei got stuck very obviously.

Zhao Lanyue was stunned, and suddenly didn't know what to say, so she just muttered: "Um, Li Ping... has his difficulties."

"It's not that I don't understand, I just..."

Gao Lei's words stopped abruptly, and after taking a deep breath, she decided not to continue complaining, so she said, "Don't talk about this, you'd better hurry up, Baolai has already sent people over to urge her several times."

……

When they were sitting together in a traditional two-wheeled carriage and went out of the city, Zhao Lanyue and Gao Lei saw through the window that the streets were crowded with people. They are in the same direction.

For such a weird image, they easily figured out the reason.

The surrounding people confirmed each other in loud conversations without any shyness, and some of them were even very excited.

They are all going outside the city to meet the leaving army.

In just a few days, Li Ping's army conquered the hearts of the people in Huangpi County.

Since Li Ping's army invaded Huangpi County, his army did not loot or even disturb the people, and not a single soldier lived in a private house.

All the soldiers of Li Ping's Ministry either lived in the original barracks in Huangpi City, or lived on the city wall, or lived in the original government places such as county government offices and warehouses. It was the inn where Zhao Lanyue and Gao Lei arrived the night before.

Such an army is almost unheard of in this chaotic era, and it is very different from the rumors of the peasant army that invaded a few days ago and the terrifying official army in Hanyang, Wuchang.

Moreover, Li Ping's army returned all the horse mules, food and goods seized from the peasant army to the original owners of the original Huangpi people, which further ignited the enthusiasm and emotion of the people.

Everything is afraid of comparison.

Such an army suddenly wants to leave, who can not be in a hurry, who can be willing.

Li Ping's army was about to withdraw from Huangpi, but the common people didn't know it before.Although there have been rumors for a long time, they are only rumors after all, and there is no certainty. Li Ping's army has never given a clear answer.

Since the peasant army was sharpening its knives tens of miles away and preparing to attack the city again, it was impossible for Li Ping to clearly tell the people about Li Ping's plan to abandon Huangpi, let alone give a timetable. Ordinary soldiers will not know.

Otherwise, it would not be fun to let the peasant army find the right time to launch a surprise attack.

But Li Ping was not careless, he still asked Duan Qiang and Zhou Wen to send a lot of hints to the people in Huangpi County, so that they could make a living by themselves in advance.

People with brains can easily understand it.

However, more people are still unwilling to believe it, and they always report unrealistic expectations.

It wasn't until Li Ping's army all lined up and drove out of the city this morning, and a fleet of long ships headed southward gathered in the water, that everyone had to believe it.

Then the people in the whole city became anxious.

When I finally got out of Huangpi County, everything became more clear at a glance. Countless people had already gathered beside the long fleet by the Shishui River. The water is tight.

Many people even knelt on the ground like that, crying loudly.

Of course, there are more people just standing there watching the fleet cry silently. Most of them have accepted the reality and know that it cannot be changed, and many of them have even been psychologically prepared.Some common people stuffed the chicken, duck, fish and cakes they brought to the people on the boat and every soldier they saw, expressing their simplest emotions.

After all, Huangpi really intends to stick to it, not just soldiers, but a lot of preparations for defending the city, and soil work is the most essential.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Lanyue couldn't help opening her mouth and said, "This is too exaggerated! What kind of ecstasy soup did Li Ping pour them into?"

However, Gao Lei and Zhao Lanyue did not stop after staring blankly for a few times. Under the protection of the guards, they quickly squeezed through the crowd and boarded one of the large ships.

Before entering the cabin, Zhao Lanyue walked behind and looked back for a moment.

Duan Qiang and Zhou Wen were standing on the shore, surrounded by the very center of the crowd.There was a large black mass of people kneeling around the two of them, and a few well-dressed old men stood beside them, still perseveringly talking and begging.

For such a scene, the two of them should have not expected at all, nor have any psychological preparations, and have never encountered it before.

Both of them were sweating and their mouths were dry, and their expressions were not at all calm.

The soldiers who were trying to maintain order around them also showed a lot of embarrassment.

On the side of the boat, a young soldier who had just finished escorting Zhao Lanyue took two boiled eggs that had been stuffed into his hands by some commoner with excitement and sniffed them vigorously under his nose. The other soldiers around him all smiled innocently when they saw this .

Although it is a troubled time, and although they have seen a lot of suffering, most of the people at the bottom, including soldiers, are still simple and easy to be infected.

Zhao Lanyue felt a little touched, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Grandma, you're awake! You're sleeping soundly, and everyone is waiting for you. If you don't come, I'll kick your door." Song Baolai in the cabin yelled as soon as they met.

Song Baolai also lived in the city yesterday, but he got up early and left the city. He has too much work to do.

Although Li Ping returned the things seized from the peasant army and belonged to the people of Huangpi, there were still many materials in the warehouses of the original government that the officers and soldiers who fled at that time had no time to take them away.Moreover, Li Ping ordered people to buy back a batch of horse mules and grain from the moved Huangpi people. The removal of these materials required the work of Song Baolai, the logistics supervisor.

More importantly, Song Baolai is currently the person with the highest position in the Huangpi area, and in principle has the final decision-making power in all matters.

"Hey! Baolai, courage is good! Has it been a long time since I have been scolded by this girl, is it itchy?" Zhao Lanyue smiled and started to fight back, her mood was very relaxed.

But before she could continue to show off, Song Baolai had already given up, and he said with a smile: "Don't dare, dare not, just joking and joking. You old man, who dares to remind you to sleep."

Glancing at Gao Lei who had already sat by the window of the cabin and looked out obsessively, Zhao Lanyue asked casually, "Are you in a hurry?"

"No rush, no rush. Anyway, we have to wait for all Zuo Liangyu's troops to leave before we can enter the Yangtze River. The later we leave, the farther away we will be from them, and it will be safer." Song Baolai said with an unprincipled smile.

However, after saying this, Song Baolai immediately shouted to the outside of the cabin: "Go and inform Director Duan and Chief Zhou that everyone has arrived and they can leave."

Seeing Zhao Lanyue's eyes flashing fiercely, Song Baolai hastily explained: "The peasant army is gathering in large numbers not far from here, and they have been planning to recapture Huangpi. We have few soldiers here, and we have already left the city. It is better to wait for a long time Very unsafe."

Zhao Lanyue chuckled, and finally let Song Baolai go on this issue.

But then, she joked and said: "Why did you hide in the cabin by yourself, but threw Duan Qiang and Zhou Wen outside, you are not authentic!"

Song Baolai scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, "I never knew that the people in Huangpi County would be so enthusiastic. I can't stand being watched and talking about foreign crimes, and I'm not interested in being sensationalized. Anyway, most of the things have already been sold." The boat has been loaded in advance, and you two are the only ones left, and I can take command in the middle."

At this time, Gao Lei suddenly turned her head and said sadly: "We are leaving, what will they do? I heard that the peasant army is also very cruel. Look at them, how pitiful they are, no one wants us to leave."

Song Baolai was stunned for a moment, and then said with embarrassment: "This is really helpless. We are seriously short of troops, and we can't manage it even if we want to. This is nothing we can do. However, we have told the people here that if they are willing Yes, you can go with us."

"Ugh!"

Gao Lei let out a long sigh helplessly, and then looked outside again.

Seeing this, Zhao Lanyue put away her desire to continue joking, walked to the window and looked out at the shore, and the people in the cabin also stopped talking for a long time.

At this time on the shore, some young people carrying parcels were bowing down to their elderly parents. It seemed that they planned to leave with Li Ping's army, and more common people were coming with parcels in the distance.

Suddenly, violent cries erupted from the crowd on the shore, and then Duan Qiang and Zhou Wen boarded the boat as if fleeing, and the boat moved soon.
