　　 At lunchtime, there should be a large number of people who work outside to go home and rest, but at this time, the flow of people out of the city is the majority, because they are rushing to the bulletin board to check the latest Nanban war report.
　　 There are even people who are holding a bowl in one hand and an umbrella in the other.
　　 In fact, for the people of Zhenhuangcheng and Leizhou, the significance of Zhao Yu's conquest of Nanban is far greater than that of the other thirty-five states, because it is the children of Leizhou who have always been fighting the deserters at the forefront.
The Southern Barbarian army has never reached out to the Great Xia court for a single soldier. They are all Leizhou's own sons who fought battles. Therefore, once Zhao Yuyong towns Nanban, then the Leizhou boys will have a completely different life, just like Zhao Yusuo. In other words, you can pursue, take risks, and appreciate the great mountains and rivers of Daxia.
I don’t know when, among the people who are going out together, there is a middle-aged Taoist priest walking slowly inward from the gate of the city. Wearing a very shabby Taoist shirt, he slaps it around his waist indiscriminately and opens out. Some shabby and torn blouses were exposed in the neckline, and he wore a Taoist bun with a hairpin on the back of his head, but there were still some messy broken hairs drifting around in the wind, which was extremely desolate, but faintly. With a touch of dust.
　　 Under the interrogation of the city guards, the middle-aged Taoist replies as usual, and then, without holding an umbrella, stepped directly on the flat rocky ground in the city.
　　 As soon as he stepped into the deserted city of this town, but I don't know whether it was an illusion, the sect monks with higher cultivation levels in the city vaguely felt that the whole city seemed to have changed a little, and it disappeared in a flash, which was indescribable.
The patter of rain in the sky instantly wetted the middle-aged Taoist priest’s robes, and his hair was also stained with some raindrops. After that, the Taoist priest stepped into the city for a certain distance, then stopped in place, turned around, and squinted. To the southwest, there seemed to be a picture flashing in his eyes.
　　 Broken ground, large swaths of fallen trees, and violent cold erupting from the mouth of the canyon again, and on such a desolate ground lies a huge body wrapped in ice by a blue-black dragon.
　　 That is the valley of giants deep in the southern jungle.
Suddenly, a soft call sounded not far away, and the eyes of the middle-aged Taoist priest instantly returned to normal. Then he turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a seat near the city gate under the eaves. The old lady was beckoning to him, greeted him constantly.
　　 The middle-aged Taoist smiled lightly, took a step forward, and walked towards the house.
　　 As soon as he walked under the eaves, the old lady's somewhat old blaming voice sounded:
"Those of you who came to the town from outside, it’s not good to inquire about it first, so that you don’t even bring an umbrella. The weather in Leizhou is rainy all year round. Master, please wait a moment. The old man comes into the house to get you an umbrella."
　　 The old lady got up as she spoke, and then walked into the house, but the middle-aged Taoist priest did not refuse, and raised her hands in a salute:
　　 "So I thanked the old lady."
　　 After a while, the old lady walked out of the house again with a somewhat staggering body, holding a rather large black umbrella in her hand, handing it to the middle-aged Taoist priest, and at the same time she said:
　　 "In Leizhou, this umbrella is a must-have item. Don't look at the recent change of temperament, and it has been sunny for several days, but it is because your majesty is going to Nanban and even God is giving way."
After the old lady finished speaking, she opened her mouth and laughed, revealing half of her teeth. The wrinkles on her face were also wrinkled, but she was really happy. Some time ago, the three young men in black robes told She, your majesty will Yongzhen Nanban, did not expect the young emperor's methods to be so resolute, and directly led his troops to kill the jungle.
　　 The old lady laughed, and the middle-aged Taoist priest also laughed.
Then the middle-aged Taoist helped the old lady back to sit down on the reclining chair, leaned the umbrella aside, gently raised his hand to sweep the rain on his body, and sat down on the rattan pier beside the old lady, watching quietly Looking at the deserted city under the drizzle in front of him.
　　 He does not look at the people in the city or the houses in the city. He sees the past and present life of this city, and the future!
　　 Therefore, under the eaves, there was a little silence. The kind-hearted and enthusiastic old lady did not want the middle-aged Taoist priests from afar to be left out, so she spoke gently again:
　　 "Yesterday I heard that your Majesty has won the first battle. I don't know how the battle is going on today? The old man is inconvenient to move, but you came from outside the city. Can you tell me something to the old man?"
　　The middle-aged Taoist priest retracted his gaze upon hearing the words, and spoke softly, with a magnetic vicissitudes of voice, with the weight of time settled, and gently opened his mouth and responded:
　　 "Today's great victory, Your Majesty did better than everyone imagined, including me, and let me visit this southwest for nothing."
　　The old lady next to the middle-aged Taoist priest did not understand the words of the Taoist priest. The word "great victory" alone was enough to make her smile again, as if the whole person was a bit younger, and she spoke with some relief:
　　 "Thanks to your majesty, the life of the Leizhou boys will change drastically in the future. It is a pity that the whole body of the old man will be in the soil, otherwise I want to see what the outside world looks like."
　　 "It's different, I saw it, the whole town of deserted town will change, becoming clearer and clearer."
　　 After the old lady's voice fell, the middle-aged Taoist priest responded. Then he gently raised his right hand, pointed it forward, and said again:
"In the future, the deserted town will become very large. To the west, all the current southwest border walls will be included. In the south, a huge wharf will be built to transport goods. It will be extremely busy. Build a huge Summer Palace, where most children in Leizhou will receive education."
　　 "If this prosperous age is really like what the Taoist said, that's really good."
The old lady looked forward obsessively, as if she had seen the huge academy in the future, as well as the sound of reading aloud from it. The young people and girls who came out of the academy were no longer talking to each other. Min attacked the city wall again and again, but wanted to travel to which state in Daxia.
　　 "It will come true, and soon, the entire Daxia will usher in a new era."
After 　　 finished speaking, the middle-aged Taoist stood up, lifted the black umbrella leaning against the wall, and after a salute, walked towards the city gate, while on the reclining chair, the old lady gradually recovered and asked with some differences:
　　 "Dao Master, you have just entered the gate of the city, and you have only been sitting here for a while, before you really appreciate the scenery of this deserted town, you want to leave the city?"
　　 "A glance is enough to appreciate."
　　The middle-aged Taoist stopped his figure, then turned around to bow to the old lady again, and said:
　　 "This road still has to rush to the north to see an old friend, so don't pass this time, thank you again for your umbrella!"
After 　　 finished speaking, he raised his hand to open the black umbrella, stepped out in one step, the whole figure gradually blurred and disappeared in the misty rain.
　　Within one step, the world is close at hand, unfettered!
