The merchants and gentry in Hunyuan Prefecture were actually opposed to the arrival of Yueyang. After all, Yueyang's past actions seemed a bit out of line in their eyes. Yingzhou Prefecture and Hunyuan Prefecture are not too far apart. They have long since found out the fate of Lin Yuanteng and Wang Shoucheng. One was the whole family was beheaded, and the other was forced to leave Yingzhou. This ending made them feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

Especially Fang Yingdi, the Fang family he belongs to is the leader of the Hunyuan Prefecture Chamber of Commerce, and his words can be said to represent the opinions of the entire Hunyuan Prefecture.

Looking at Fang Diying with a gloomy face, Jiang Xin snorted inwardly: "Okay, everyone, I'm summoning you to listen to your complaints. I'm just talking about it first. I don't care about how you fight with Yueyang, but the order in Hunyuan Prefecture must be maintained well, otherwise I won't be polite to you if there is a chaos.

And you, Lu, the guards. Although your guards are not worthy of their name, the court did not remove you, but just assigned you to Yueyang's command. You must also restrain your soldiers. If something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

"yes!"

Lu Youyuan responded dejectedly. Today he originally wanted to find Jiang Xin to make the decision, but now it seems that this prefect Jiang will not stand up for him. But I think so, Jiang Xin is not his, so why should he fight to the death with Yueyang for him?

Seeing Jiang Xin make a decision, everyone couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Behind these people are the shadows of the gentry and merchants in Hunyuan Prefecture. Today they are here to talk about the tone of Jiang Xin, the highest executive. Unexpectedly, this guy said a lot of nonsense. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with Yueyang, but his actual actions were not at all, which made them disappointed.

Finally, Jiang Xin looked at the people around him and said, "Okay, Yueyang will arrive in my Hunyuan Prefecture tomorrow. You will go to the city gate with me to greet you. You always have to do the kung fu in this scene. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

Everyone responded weakly, stood up one after another, and began to disperse. In the end, only middle-aged man who looked like Jiang Xin and an aide were left.

After everyone dispersed, Jiang Xin was still sitting on the chair and silently thinking about his own thoughts. After a long time, the middle-aged man in a blue shirt frowned and said to Jiang Xin: "Dongweng. It seems that these gentry in Hunyuan Prefecture are very dissatisfied with Lord Yue who is about to take office. The students probably won't give up after they go back."

"Hmph!" Jiang Xin sneered, "These people have this kind of eyelids. Do they think Yueyang is so easy to deal with? Not only is there a governor standing behind this person, but it is also said that Duchen Lu also appreciates him very much. It is really unwise to act against such a person. It is ridiculous that Fang Yingdi and others also want to use this official as a gun to charge for them, which is really blinding their eyes."

The aide said with some concern: "But you seemed to have a little unhappy last time with Lord Yue. Are you not worried about making things difficult for you after Lord Yue comes?"

"Otherwise!" Jiang Xin shook his head and said, "The last time I had a quarrel with Yue Yang, it was just a trivial matter. Although this person is a martial artist, he is also a scholar. I believe that Yue Yang would not make things difficult for such a trivial matter. The most important thing now is that I must not mix in the upcoming battle between those fools and Yue Yang, so that I can get along with them. Do you understand?"

"Oh... Dong Weng is wise!" The aide suddenly realized and a smile of admiration appeared on his face.

Just as Jiang Xin made a decision to not help each other, Fang Yingdi and several colleagues around him also walked out of the prefect's office. No one was in the mood to speak. Lu Youyuan followed everyone behind and just lowered his head and said nothing. Just as he walked to the place where he was tying his horse to get on the horse, Fang Yingdi walked to him and whispered: "Master Lu, I don't know if you have time now. If you don't give up, why not sit in my humble house?"

"Go to your mansion?" Lu Youyuan looked at the setting sun in surprise. Then he looked at Fang Yingdi and the officials behind him. He seemed to understand something, and then nodded slowly...

The hottest season of the year has passed in September, but it is still a bit stuffy, especially for soldiers wearing helmets and armor.

On the official road less than ten miles away from Hunyuan Prefecture, a group of fully armed troops came. These people were all wearing black and gray enclosed armor and were walking on the road. The neat and rumbling footsteps and the simple and full expressions of the soldiers all told people that this was an army that was clearly stated in military discipline. They were the group of people from Yingzhou Prefecture to Yueyang in Hunyuan Prefecture.

The Gothic armor that Yueyang equipped his subordinates was a closed armor. Although it had good defense performance, it was not so good for those who wore it.

"Sir, the weather is so hot. Why don't you let your brothers take off their armor and move forward lightly?" A knight rode his horse to Yueyang and Hu Laosan who were walking in front of the team. He raised his mask and exposed his face while speaking. He insisted on coming to Feng Xiaoming, who came to Hunyuan Prefecture with Yueyang.

Yue Yang turned his head and looked at Feng Xiaoming and said lightly, "Why, I can't stand it after walking for a long time? You are still a thousand households. Do you want me to send you back to Wuli Village and get back to the furnace for training?"

Feng Xiaoming smiled embarrassedly and said, "No... Sir, Bei Zhi is so weak. Bei Zhi is not worried about these soldiers. Everyone has been away for most of the day. The weather is so hot again. Brothers have been away for most of the day. Now they are all in such a mess. If they arrive in Hunyuan Prefecture later, it would be bad if they are underestimated by those people."

"So you are afraid of this!" Yue Yang laughed: "It's a good thing that you can be sympathetic to your subordinates, but there have been words in the army that are kind and do not control the soldiers since ancient times. If you can't even bear this little bit of hardship, how can you fight with the Tartars in the future? Besides, we don't want much face skills. After the soldiers traveled for most of the day, they will naturally be very tired. If we still had bright armor when we arrived in Hunyuan Prefecture, that would make people feel strange. Do you think this is the case?"

"This is also..." Feng Xiaoming thought about it, and thought it made sense, so he stopped talking.

After walking for a while, Yueyang could already see the city wall in the distance and the large group of people standing outside the city wall.

Soon, two people ran ahead and didn't accept it. They rode their horses to Yueyang and clasped their fists and said, "Sir, the magistrate of Hunyuan Prefecture is leading a group of officials and gentry in Hunyuan Prefecture to welcome you outside the city!"

"knew!"

Yue Yang nodded, and he turned around and said to Hu Laosan beside him: "Hu Laosan, go... let all the brothers sing, sing all the morale, and let the parents and villagers of Hunyuan Prefecture see the might of our Yingzhou army!"

"yes!"

A hint of excitement appeared in Hu Laosan's eyes, and he immediately ran towards the middle of the team. Soon a sing like a ghost crying and howling came out of his throat.

"Sir... Come... Lord Yue's men are here!" At the same time, a servant stumbled to Jiang Xin, who was standing at the gate of the city, panting and reporting.

"Okay, everyone, cheer up, hurry up!" Jiang Xin, who had been standing for a long time, also came to his spirits and quickly greeted everyone. At this time, not only Jiang Xin and a group of gentry and merchants outside the city, but also many people from Hunyuan Prefecture came out to watch the fun. Four or five hundred people squeezed the city gates out of the way. When they heard the arrival of Yueyang's people, everyone began to stir up.

At this moment, loud singing came from afar.

Be filial to your son and be loyal to your ministers.

The court used profits to borrow national debts and spared no expenses to support the soldiers.

One soldier had a hundred taels of food and clothing, and the sixth rank official salary was the same.

If you don’t contribute to the country, the ghosts and gods will not tolerate it.

Since ancient times, there have been many generals and ministers, so don’t take it seriously to be a soldier.
