The mayor of Jizhou City, who was waiting for them at the city gate after receiving the news, was also filled with anger.
In theory, his official position was not lower than General Lin's, but since he was asking for help in this matter, he had to lower his posture.
But who would have known that the news from both sides would be so different, causing me to wait outside for so long in vain.
When the clattering sound of horse hooves finally came from the darkness, the Lord of Jizhou City breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his face, and forced a smile on his rather angry face.
"General Lin has come from afar to eliminate harm for the people. You have worked hard all the way through the dust and the night. I have prepared beautiful women and fine wine just to welcome you."
But he didn't expect that General Lin's first words would be a scolding.
"What's going on here? There are a bunch of dogs raised in the mountains and forests everywhere, and they run faster than dogs! As the lord of a city, you can actually tolerate your own people and lead these unruly people astray. I really don't know how you can be the lord of the city." General Lin was so angry that he couldn't help but vent his anger.
Moreover, their delicate, gentle and timid temperament reminded General Lin of Yun Niang who was far away in the capital.

If this old man wasn't needed to suppress bandits, who would bother with him?
So he still doesn't know that the son he has been waiting for for so long has long been missing.
So he held the beautiful woman's waist with one hand and wrote a love letter to Yunniang. The letter was full of love and endless longing for her.
"Hmph, I won't bother with you." General Lin clamped his horse's legs and walked into the city.
But he is surrounded by beautiful women with good food and drinks in the city. The contrast is too obvious.
These words were exactly the same as what other officials in the capital said when they despised General Lin. This really hit General Lin's sore spot. He was most afraid that the emperor would misunderstand that he had some connection with Lin Jiuxi and the others.
"You! This kind of thing happened right under your nose, and you still have the nerve to blame me?" General Lin held the horsewhip in his hand. If he had not retained the last bit of calm in his heart, he would have been unable to resist and hit the Jizhou City Lord on the head with the whip.
But I have no choice but to hold my nose and bear it for the time being.
The more he thought of this, the happier General Lin felt.
"City Lord, even though Lin Weiyuan is an old man, he is sent by His Majesty after all. We can't let His Majesty down like this."
"City Lord, we all know that this old guy is really disrespectful. But he has soldiers and horses in his hands, as well as orders from His Majesty. After all, he is here to help us suppress bandits. We can't quarrel with him at this critical juncture. Some things are better to be settled later, but for now, we should just go along with his wishes." The official had no choice but to appease both sides and pacify the city lord first.
The mayor of Jizhou City was already angry, and after being scolded by him, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Cai Cai swallowed the drink in one gulp with an expressionless face. Such a lack of understanding of romance made Fan Wuyou shake his head.
"General Lin only blames me? But doesn't he remember that his daughter is the leader of this bandit group? In theory, isn't General Lin more to blame? He can't even teach his own daughter well, and now he is accusing me so righteously. Regardless of my political achievements, at least my daughter and son-in-law are well-behaved and obedient, unlike some people whose daughters and sons-in-law actually rebel."
It is impossible to ask the Lord of Jizhou City to apologize himself. Who doesn't want to save face?
The emperor ordered that he should not be informed of Yunniang's death in advance, for fear of disrupting the morale of the army.
The city lord was furious and said, "If it wasn't for His Majesty's sake, who would bother with such an old man? But you also saw that I waited for him from morning till night, and he didn't say a word of gratitude. But how did he treat me? He actually scolded me like his servant lieutenant general! I'm really angry just thinking about it."
General Lin drank fine wine, hugged the beauty, and listened to the music in the red gauze tent.
General Lin also temporarily lived in the best inn with other officials.
"What are you going to do?" Fan Wuyou poured a cup of tea and handed it to Cai Cai.
Everyone saw that scene, so it was difficult to defend General Lin.
Not far outside the city, in the pitch-black camp, there was only one light on.
The mayor of Jizhou City threw up his sleeves and refused to take charge.
Lin Jiuxi unfolded the map in his hand and pointed at the city gate. "They brought quite a few people with them. A small number of them are stationed outside the city gate. Most of them have already entered the city. But for us, the best opportunity is tonight!"
The Lord of Jizhou City was easier to talk to than General Lin after all. After thinking it over, he felt that this was indeed the case.
Yunniang is still pregnant with his son.
The city lord waved his hand and sent two girls from the music school over.
So someone suggested that the two sides compromise, send a few beautiful concubines, and say a few good words for the city lord, and the matter would be settled.
Fortunately, there were other officials in Jizhou City who were willing to take charge and led General Lin's adjutant and soldiers into the city to rest.
General Lin didn't have a good temper towards the city lord, but he didn't have a good temper towards such a weak girl.
"I'm going to drug them."
He had been riding for so long that his whole frame was exhausted, and he didn't even have a good meal.
Originally, the city lord had arranged for him to live in the city lord's mansion, but the two had a quarrel at the city gate, and neither of them wanted to lose face, so they had to pretend that nothing had happened.
"Didn't you put drugs in their bows and arrows today? Why do I see that except for the itching powder, other things don't seem to be effective." Cai Cai followed them all the way today, practicing archery with human heads as targets, so she knew a lot about this matter.
"Oh, you mean that. Whether it's in the feces or the soil, there are a lot of bacteria, the most important of which are Escherichia coli and Tetanus bacteria. They may not necessarily get sick for the time being, but after a few days, their mortality rate will be very high." Lin Jiuxi smiled proudly. The application of modern medicine in battles also has its place.
Cai Cai didn’t quite understand what the term “Jun or not Jun” meant, but she knew what Lin Jiuxi meant, which was that those medicines might delay the onset of the disease, and there was a high possibility of death after the onset of the disease.
Looks like a good thing.
But what else did she put in there besides dirt and manure?
