Gan Chenggong, along with his two capable lieutenants on his left and right, stood on the solid walls of Wind City like three owls patrolling the territory, observing the city's reconstruction process with keen eyes.

"General, the Ling Kingdom's minions have retreated to Baicheng. Should we quickly pick up our guns and mount our horses to pursue them and wipe them out?"

The right deputy general was fat and strong, and at this moment he was beaming with joy, as if he had already seen the scene of the Ling army being routed.

Gan Chenggong smiled slightly, revealing his signature mischievous look, and shook his head.

"Chase? What are you chasing? Chasing a kite? We have to sort out the situation in Wind City now. Once it's stabilized, we can think about other things.

The people of Ling State are like mosquitoes in summer, buzzing happily but can be killed with a slap.

We have to swat the mosquitoes at home first, and then go out to swat the ones outside."

but……

But didn’t you say before that we must first stabilize foreign ties before we can stabilize domestic ties?

Gan Chenggong didn't notice the expressions on his two subordinates' faces. He changed the subject and asked seriously.

"By the way, did anyone see Zhuge smile?

That guy has a lot of ideas about the management and construction of Wind City, and he made a lot of efforts in the fight against the invasion of Ling State. Now that we have found him, let him continue to serve as the lord of Wind City.

Deputy General Zuo couldn't help laughing: "General, don't worry about it. Zhuge Xiao still has Fengcheng in his heart. I guess he is somewhere thinking about how to make Fengcheng stronger and more beautiful."

The right deputy general also agreed, "Yes, General. Although Zhuge Xiao has not been found, I think he still cares about Fengcheng. Maybe he will come out after a while."

Gan Chenggong nodded with satisfaction, as if the whole world was under his control, while the two subordinates were like eggplants roasted by the scorching summer sun, with sweat pouring down their faces like waterfalls.

The two deputy generals on the left and right were wiping their sweat in a hurry while having a deep communication with their eyes that seemed to be sending out a "distress signal".

"I say, Zhuge Xiao has disappeared into the dungeon like a ghost. Although Fengcheng is not as big as the capital of Lingguo, it is not a small place. Where do you think we can go to find this great god?"

The deputy general on the left shook his head helplessly, as if he was making a final struggle against fate.

"That's right! Can't the city lord learn from the Ling Kingdom and directly use a county magistrate to manage the country? Wouldn't that save trouble and worry?"

The deputy general on the right echoed, his eyes revealing a determination that "as long as the city lord nods, I will resign immediately."

The two became more and more excited as they talked, as if they had seen the dawn of escaping from this "nightmare" of Zhuge Xiao.

But the reality is cruel. They can only wipe their sweat silently and continue to search for Zhuge Xiao who makes them uneasy in this windy city.

Strangely enough, ever since that guy Zhuge Xiao jumped out to grab the jade disc last time, he disappeared without a trace as if he was swept away by the wind.

The left and right deputy generals, like two hounds with a keen sense of smell, searched everywhere but could not find even the shadow of Zhuge Xiao. Finally, they had to go to Gan Chenggong dejectedly to report.

Could it be that Zhuge Xiao is secretly practicing some unique martial arts?

Gan Chenggong didn't have time to think about it. After all, there were a lot of affairs to deal with in Fengcheng, and he had to elect a new city lord to manage it.

After packing up everything in Jiangfeng City, Gan Chenggong led Yunxian and two deputy generals and headed towards Baicheng in a mighty manner.

Along the way, the two deputy generals were like two loudspeakers, complaining non-stop.

"General, our lives are really miserable. There are foreign enemies in front of us, civil strife in the back, and the emperor's brat is watching us every day. We can't live like this!"

"Yes, General. We are attacked from both sides. Even if our Cloud God Army is brave and skilled in fighting, we can't withstand it."

"I heard that the King of Northern Frontier was sent by the Emperor to go to Hushui City, where Hushui County is located, to stop us."

The two deputy generals were full of annoyance, and their resolute faces were full of sorrow.

Gan Chenggong was so distracted that he forgot to hit the horse. The horse turned its head mischievously, and the pulling of the reins brought him back to his senses.

Yun Xian was one step behind Gan Chenggong, and seeing this, he also fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Yunxian and others heard Gan Chenggong's answer which sounded like a delirium.

"We are fighting to protect Yun Country. We are the army that defends our country. The emperor will understand, and the people will understand too."

He spoke in a lower and lower voice, the last words almost dissipated in the wind, and it was obvious that even he himself did not quite believe what he said.

The left and right deputy generals looked at each other and stopped complaining tacitly.

The entire team seemed to have pressed the mute button and fell into an awkward silence for a moment.

Suddenly, a young soldier in the team couldn't help laughing out loud, breaking the strange silence.

He jokingly said, "General, you don't even believe what you said, right?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the team.

Gan Chenggong was extremely embarrassed by the sudden laughter.

He coughed twice, trying to restore his dignity.

"Ahem, what do you know? Hurry up and be serious!"

However, his majesty seemed so pale and powerless in the laughter.

Yunxian couldn't help but purse her lips.

"General, that's right. Once we take back the seven border cities, everything will be based on facts."

Gan Chenggong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the previous embarrassment and difficulties, and cheered up again. He straightened his back and said loudly:

"Okay! Keep going! For the sake of Yun Country and the people, we will move forward fearlessly and without fear!"

After saying that, he swung the whip in his hand violently, and the horse neighed loudly, and rushed forward like an arrow.

Gan Chenggong's figure looked so firm and heroic in the sun, like an unshakable mountain.

Seeing this, the soldiers in the team cheered up.

They held their weapons tightly and followed Gan Chenggong's steps, marching forward in an orderly manner.

Although the road ahead is unknown, the reason they joined the army is to defend their country.

Although the team was moving forward, the atmosphere was——

It was like a vacuum bag with the air sucked out of it, so stuffy that it made people feel breathless.

"Report——"

The scout knelt down in front of Gan Chenggong's "BMW" in a flash, and his breathing was even more exaggerated than that of an athlete who had just finished a marathon.

"Reporting to the general, Baicheng looks like an empty shell. There is not even a soldier standing guard on the city wall. At first glance, it looks like a ghost town!"

Gan Chenggong had a keen eye and instantly realized that this was an empty city plan.

Do you want my Yunshen Army to be tricked?

Humph, I'm not that easily fooled!

Gan Chenggong raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a sly smile, and waved his hand.

"Brothers, don't be intimidated by this empty city. Cheer up. We are going to use a 'counter empty city plan' this time to let those cowards in White City see how powerful we are!"

When the soldiers in the team heard this, they immediately became excited and started to get ready to give Baicheng a "surprise"!

Yunxian felt something was wrong, but for a moment, she couldn't figure out why.
