No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top

Chapter 205 Human Fireworks

Late at night, the team finally arrived at Sand City. In order to protect the lives of the people in the city, the defense forces stationed in Sand City set up camp for a long time at the border far away from the center of Sand City and close to Aiguan of Rong State.

This means that if the Rong people want to invade, they must first pass the defense force garrison base under the jurisdiction of Tang Yuwei, and then they can approach the gate of Sand City.

Although the relationship between the two countries has remained weak in recent years, it has always been just a minor incident.

Because the defense forces managed by Tang Yuwei had strict military discipline and guarded peace, the people of the two countries actually set up some trade markets, restaurants and inns near the garrison base for trade, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

The team passed through the sand city and arrived directly at the garrison base. Although it was late at night, the trading market was still bustling.

Yangyang couldn't help but feel a long-lost sense of familiarity with this scene. Isn't this just a modern night market?

The twinkling bonfires of oil lamps and the smoke of roasting delicious skewers of meat make you want to get in right away.

Yangyang got off the carriage.

Looking back at Duan Fangya who was looking through the curtain in the carriage, her face was still full of sorrow. Perhaps she was shocked by Yangyang's speculation during the day, and at this moment she still didn't know how to answer.

Yangyang knew that she was a little impatient, but she had no choice but to be impatient given the current situation.

Duan Fangya glanced at him briefly and said tiredly to Yuwen Jin who was riding on a horse beside the carriage, "We are too tired today. Can you let General Tang arrange for us to rest as soon as possible?"

Yuwen Jin didn't need to elaborate, Tang Yuwei, who was not far away, had already dismounted.

At this moment, he was surrounded by enthusiastic people. They all kept talking about General Tang and couldn't help but put all the goods in their hands into Tang Yuwei's arms.

Some asked questions with concern, while others came to complain and make complaints, treating General Tang as a patriarch.

"General Tang, you've been in Jingwei City for several months. We've finally been waiting for you to come back!"

"That's right, General Tang. You don't know that all the chickens I sell have been killed by that old man Yuan from Rong State. You have to make the decision for me!"

"Hey! What are your chickens? My jades have been cheated away by your people from Dapu Country."

"You're talking nonsense..."

For a while, Tang Yuwei's ears were almost buzzing from the sound of the rain.

Fortunately, several officers and soldiers who were traveling with him politely dispersed the crowd. "Our general hasn't even had a bite of food yet. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Tao beside Yang Yang leaned close to Yang Yang's ear and teased, "Miss, I didn't expect that General Tang is so popular in Mobei. Miss, I'm afraid you will not only be the general's wife, but also the city lord's wife?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yangyang tapped Xiaotao's nose with her fingertips, "You're always talking nonsense!"

As he spoke, a cold snort was heard, "That's right! How could Yangyang possibly be the general's wife? She wants to be the wife of the richest man in Rong country!"

Yangyang turned around and saw Helanqin chewing the lamb skewers he had just bought in one hand, and handed another skewer to Yangyang with the other hand, "Eat it! It tastes good!"

"Hey! You are a foreigner after all, how can you be so rude to my young lady!" Xiao Tao was used to seeing big shots in Beijing, so naturally she was a little uncomfortable with Helan Qin's casual behavior.

Unexpectedly, Yangyang pursed his lips and was deeply fascinated by the taste of the mutton skewers. He quickly slapped Xiaotao in the face and took the mutton skewers, "It's really delicious!" Yangyang took a bite and then corrected Helanqin, "I'll take the skewers, but I can't afford to be the wife of the richest man!"

Just as the two were trying to shirk their responsibilities, an officer suddenly came over and said, "You two, my general can't leave for a while. I will escort you back to the barracks first. It will be safer there!"

Yangyang came back to her senses and saw that Tang Yuwei was still surrounded by people, and Crown Prince Yuwen Jin had also got on the carriage, apparently to accompany the Crown Princess back to the military camp.

Yangyang was about to agree, but Helanqin suddenly grabbed Yangyang and said to the soldier, "I know this place well. You can go back to the barracks without worry. I'll bring her back later!"

Having said that, he pulled Yangyang and ran quickly to the back, causing Biluo and Xiaotao to chase after them!

"Hey! Let me go!" Yangyang's wrist was tightly grasped by Helan Qin. She didn't know where he got the interest from, and where he wanted to pull her to run!

Helan Qin was filled with excitement. He grabbed Yangyang and had no intention of letting go. "Don't worry. Before I went to Jingwei, I often came to this border to hang out. I am very familiar with this place! Now I will take you to a place!"

The two ran across a market, turned left and not far away, a gorgeous Four Cities Tavern appeared in front of them.

Without waiting for Yangyang to react, Helanqin used his Qinggong skills to carry Yangyang to the rooftop.

Just now, when I was looking downstairs, I noticed that there was a small open-air platform on the roof that could accommodate a square table.

Yangyang was supported by Helanqin and sat down on the futon beside the table. With a whistle, a familiar face suddenly appeared from under the tile roof on the inside of the platform, "Boss, you're finally here!"

"Haozi?" Yangyang looked at the thin and shrewd face and thought that not long ago, Haozi was in Tong County with them to suppress the riots. How did he end up here?

"Miss Xue, you never expected that!" Haozi raised his chin proudly and looked at Helan Qin, "I knew that you would be able to reach the border this time, but it's a lot later than I expected!"

"You run so fast, are you afraid that your business will fail?" Helan Qin took the tray from Haozi's hand, which seemed to have been prepared long ago, and saw that it was filled with wine and snacks.

Haozi rubbed the back of his head and laughed, "Boss, you know that ever since you gave me the money to open a tavern at the border, I've been worried that you'd lose everything. I'm doing this for you, my boss!"

Yangyang finally understood what was going on. It turned out that this tavern was Helanqin's own business. Just as she was thinking about it, Helanqin poured Yangyang some wine and said, "What boss? This tavern is yours. I'm just a customer. Go and do your own thing!"

After hearing this, Haozi chuckled and was about to go down the small ladder next to the platform. Helanqin thought of something else.

"Oh, right, there are two girls in the back. Prepare some good wine and food for them and let them wait downstairs!"

The rat said, "Oh! Okay!"

"It seems that Li has already made preparations. Since you can't come, he let the rats take root here?" Yangyang took a sip of the wine. "Wow! This wine is really spicy!"

"Okay! Let's go back quickly! Our identities are still unsafe now!" After saying that, Yangyang was about to get up.

"Hey! Now that you're here!" He Lanqin stretched out his arm and grabbed Yangyang's sleeve. "Don't worry, I have something to say to you. If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it later!"

Yangyang was a little anxious. This border was different from other places, and what would Tang Yuwei think if they left the team without permission?

But Helan Qin might not have the chance to say that later, which really made Yangyang think about it!

"Helan Qin, you will be free after crossing this border and return to your Rong country. What nonsense are you talking about?"

He Lanqin smiled and drank a glass of wine, "Ah! It tastes good!"

After pouring another cup, Helan Qin raised his head and pointed to the distance, "Look, over there is the border town of Aiguan, the Rong Kingdom!"

Yangyang followed the direction of his finger. Among the lights of thousands of houses, the shadowy figures were all filled with happy smiles. It was simply beautiful!

"So beautiful!" Yangyang was shocked by this peaceful beauty. Isn't this the simple happiness that everyone hopes for?

He Lanqin didn't want to spoil Yangyang's mood, but he still pulled out a letter from his clothes and said, "Read this letter quickly. I'll burn it after you finish reading it!"

Yangyang took the letter hesitantly and read it quickly under the dim light of the oil lamp.

"This, is this true?"

"You don't believe me, nor do you believe your third uncle?" Helan Qin raised his head and took another big sip. "My brother won't let me go easily, so you have to remember these!"

Yangyang lowered his head and lit the letter in his hand on the oil lamp. Then he thought of the Rong Kingdom in the distance, and a trace of fear arose in his heart.

She turned to look at Helan Qin, and unexpectedly saw the same expression on his face.

He Lanqin sighed, "It's really beautiful here, but I don't know what the scenery is like in the distance! I'll tell you something else in detail..."
