Chapter 339: Receiving the wind and washing away the dust
"Generals, please familiarize yourself with the environment here today. Once you are familiar with it, you can plan how to attack the Japanese country."
Song Zhen and the others didn't reply and just asked him to lead the way.
In addition to the city lord, there are also the prefect of Haicheng and several other officials.
General Xu from the Haicheng military camp also came to welcome Qin Yan and Song Zhen.
Qin Yan secretly observed these people, and then exchanged a glance with Song Zhen.
The others who came with Song Zhen and Qin Yan included Mu Huai who was scolded last time, and generals who were transferred from other places, Yuan Fei, Su Yong, Zhuo Liang and others.
After spending a few days together, they all obeyed Song Zhen's words. Almost all of them were generals of the fifth or sixth rank. The mayor and prefect of Haicheng did not neglect them either.
"At noon, I will host a banquet with several adults. I hope the generals will come and show us their favor."
Song Zhen did not refuse, but just nodded:
"Master Shi will arrange it."
The city lord here is named Shi, and the prefect is named Qiu. They brought Song Zhen and a few others to the city lord's mansion.
In the huge room, there is a large empty space in the middle with tables on both sides.
Qin Yan and Song Zhen were invited to the main seats, and the others were seated according to their rank. Shen Nuo and the others naturally sat at the last seats.
The two adults from Haicheng asked Qin Yan and the others to sit down first, but what they didn't know was that Shen Nuo flicked his sleeves and slowly sat down, and only those who followed Qin Yan dared to sit down.
City Lord Shi clapped his hands, and a beautifully dressed young man and girl came in with trays.
The tray was filled with exquisite dishes and fine wines, including a lot of seafood they had never eaten before.
Qin Yu, who was sitting next to Shen Nuo, had already prepared silver needles and secretly tested Shen Nuo's food for poison.
Because they were sitting at the back and everyone else's eyes were on Song Zhen and Qin Yan, no one saw what they did.
"Generals, these are all delicacies from our Haicheng. If you don't mind, you can try them."
After he finished speaking, the beauties came up to help pour wine and peel shrimps.
Qin Yan waved his hand: "I'll do it myself."
The beauty smiled and said softly:
"General, you may not know that shrimps need to be shelled."
Another girl came up and helped pour wine on Qin Yan's other side.
Qin Yan slammed his palm on the table, making a loud noise.
The two beauties were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
"General, spare your life."
"roll."
Qin Yan spat out a word coldly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Shen Nuo who was sitting below.
However, Shen Nuo was lowering his head at this time, and his slender white fingers were peeling shrimps.
The two people kneeling above looked at City Lord Shi. The City Lord gave them a look and they immediately retreated.
"Please forgive me, sir, we rough men don't need to serve you. Let them wait."
Song Zhen also waved his hand and asked those people to go down.
Lord Shi laughed and said:
"It was Shi who neglected it."
Qin Yan ignored them and exchanged glances with Qin Zuo, who nodded calmly, indicating that these things were edible.
Qin Yan started to eat.
The others were all watching the two of them, so they naturally waited for them to start eating before they dared to eat.
"In order to welcome the generals, we have also prepared some singing and dancing performances."
After saying this, City Lord Shi clapped his hands again.
At this time, more than a dozen scantily clad beauties walked in. Each of them had a charming face and an enchanting figure, and their slender waists seemed to have no bones.
If you look closely, you can see that they have bells hanging around their waists, and also on their ankles and wrists.
Only after hearing the sound and looking over there did Shen Nuo see clearly.
They all wore belly-baring tops, and their skirts were made of gauze, through which their straight white legs could be vaguely seen. Their two arms as white as jade were directly exposed, and their breasts could be vaguely seen.
He couldn't even believe his eyes. Is this Haicheng so, so open?
However, the next moment, something happened that shocked him.
As these people were dancing, they would walk up to Qin Yan and Song Zhen and some even fell directly into their arms.
Qin Yan couldn't bear it any longer and kicked the boy who fell in his arms out.
"What is Lord Shi doing? I already have a family, so you can enjoy these people slowly."
After saying that, he wanted to go out. The place was full of the unpleasant smell of makeup from those people. Nono smelled better.
Shen Nuo saw the guy fall on Qin Yan. He pursed his lips, lowered his head and continued eating.
"Oh, you unruly thing, get out of here right away."
City Lord Shi also kicked the guy, and those people had to get up and leave.
"Please forgive me, General. It's all because of these servants who don't follow the rules. Since you don't need them, let's enjoy our meal in peace."
He apologized with a wry smile and drank three cups as punishment.
This kind of thing didn't happen again afterwards, but several daughters and sons of the City Lord's Mansion came over to have dinner together, and all their eyes were on Qin Yan and Song Zhen.
After dinner, Shen Nuo didn't even look up and went out with Qin Yu and the others.
Qin Yan's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling. Song Zhen raised an eyebrow at him and walked out as well.
In the afternoon, they will go to the military camp to see how the soldiers are settled and also check the border situation of the customs.
City Lord Shi and his men have been following them.
"King Qi fled half a month ago. We searched all over Haicheng but couldn't find him. His 100,000-man army also disappeared with him."
"Heh, you, the city lord, are quite free. Didn't you notice that a hundred thousand troops had left?"
Song Zhen sneered.
City Lord Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"I was negligent. I didn't know that King Qi was a traitor at that time."
Qin Yan was too lazy to pay attention to him and went to the military camp by himself.
The soldiers here are still in training. Originally, there were 20,000 soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion. With the 100,000 taken away by King Qi, there are a total of 120,000 officers and soldiers in this border defense.
But that’s not all, the other city is where the real border defense troops are stationed.
General Qi over there will not be able to bring 150,000 soldiers over until tomorrow, so Qin Yan and the others are still waiting.
General Qi Ling had under his command a rare group of female soldiers who were good at fighting, with more than 20,000 women alone.
Qin Yan and the others had naturally heard of this before, and this female general was a loyal person, having been a royalist since her grandfather's generation.
That was why the emperor asked the Qi family to guard the customs and even gave them the hereditary throne of King of the South.
By Qi Ling's generation, there was only one girl left, so Qi Ling was actually the daughter of Prince Dingnan, and the future Prince Dingnan.
Qin Yan and the others came here to wait for Qi Ling, not this City Lord Shi.

At night, Shen Nuo was about to lie down to sleep. They had a separate room in the City Lord's Mansion, but it was not as big as the general's room.
A dark figure climbed in through the window.
