Yan Gui returned to Xiongzhou City one day later than Ding Wu and his friends.
At this moment, Xiongzhou City, under the management of the four sworn brothers of the Yan family, no longer has the panic and corpses and smoke all over the ground as when the city was just captured.
The city was covered with mourning clothes, and no one knew how many innocent people had died in the war.
The streets were washed clean, the city walls were repaired, the courtyards that had caught fire were cleaned up, and soldiers were patrolling back and forth on the streets.
Xiongzhou City has not yet recovered its former prosperity and bustle, but it is harmonious despite the tense atmosphere.
No matter who manages Xiongzhou City, innocent people still have to live. Most of the shops on the roadside were looted by Nu Ce's men, and only a small number of them survived. The brave shop owners had already opened their shops early and started to clean up.
They were still very relieved when the Yan Family Army took over Xiongzhou City. Originally, most of them were people from Daxia, but now they were taken over by Daxia again. They also knew that the Yan Family Army had strict discipline and General Yan Gui was a person who truly cared about the people.
One store opened, and soon two and three more opened. The brave local people went out cautiously to see if everything was safe, and gradually more people came to the street.
Yan Gui rode his horse on the streets of Xiongzhou, looking at the cautious people, feeling extremely sad.
These people who have lived in the hands of the enemy for so many years are the most pitiful and innocent.
"General Yan, it's General Yan."
One person shouted, and more people began to cheer.
"General Yan, you must protect our Xiongzhou City."
There was an old man who knelt on the ground with tears in pain. He still remembered the elegance of General Yan in his past. Now it was the old general's son who captured Xiongzhou City. They returned to Daxia and became the citizens of Daxia.
Soon, both sides of the street were filled with kneeling people, among them were citizens of Da Xia, and naturally there were enemy spies who were hiding quietly with ulterior motives.
The autumn wind is blowing briskly, and the horses’ hooves are refreshing. The returning swallows are all the way to their temporary residence.
He ran into Ding Si head-on: "General, the old general and his wife are coming from Yancheng to Xiongzhou City."
"What did you say?" Yan Gui got off the horse and grabbed Ding Si's shirt at the chest: "Say it again."
After hearing Ding Si's words again, "The old general and his wife are coming from Yancheng to Xiongzhou City. They will arrive at noon tomorrow." Yan Gui pushed him away fiercely, "Nonsense, there are still remnants of the enemy at this time. What should we do if we encounter them?"
Ding Si was speechless, since he had already come, he, Ding Si, couldn't stop him!
Yan Gui jumped on his horse and saw Yan Yun standing not far away: "Yan Yun, take your people and go with me to meet the old general."
After saying this, without waiting for Yan Yun to reply, Xiao Hei rushed out and ran towards the street.
Yan Yun behind him hurriedly gathered people to catch up. He was in charge of the cavalry guard, and only the cavalry could pick up the old general and his wife as quickly as possible.
If something really happened, Yan Yun didn't dare to imagine it, let alone Yan Gui.
Yan Gui’s horse was very fast and it only took him half a day to see traces of a vehicle in the distance.
The situation is not good!
Yan Gui's heart tightened. Did something happen? Logically, the team shouldn't stay here at this time.
Yan Gui became more and more anxious, so he whipped his horse and galloped forward.
The closer they got, the more Yan Gui's heart sank. He didn't see anyone walking around, not a single living person. There were only two cars parked alone on the side of the road.
