A series of shouts were spreading, spreading from afar on the streets of Fuzhou, where lights were filled with crowds, like throwing stones on the calm water, rippling waves, and the original calm was completely broken.

People crowded into the streets, and the windows of the restaurants opened one after another. The doors of the noble man's mansion along the street were originally closed, but they were opened at this time. The people rushed out of the low and narrow houses. The noble man stood on the steps in front of his mansion, from near to far, like huge rocks throwing into the calm lake. The flying waves hit the entire city of Fuzhou, and everyone was alarmed.

The streets that entered the comforting envoy from the city gate were exposed. This was the place where the seven fangs of the later Three Streets and the area where the officials and powerful mansions in the city are now the most gathering area.

The wave was ignited from the people's residences, to restaurants, shops, and the entire mansion were almost instantly lit. There were crowds of people watching the fun with lanterns, and cheers and laughter were everywhere.

People have been suppressing for too long. From the martial law after pirates entered the country, refugees were pouring in, people were uneasy, and prices were rising. Even if they were in a strong city, they knew that pirates were unlikely to come to attack the city. However, the Zhangzhou Incident was about ten years ago, and the tragic situation of refugees was still vivid in my mind. How could people not be afraid?

The Nan'an Marquis Mansion wiped out this giant thief. Now the Nan'an Marquis Mansion defeated the more powerful pirates, relieving the hidden worries hanging in people's hearts. It was like opening a valve, and the flood of excitement and joy was instantly vented.

Moreover, the news has been spreading in Fuzhou City for two days. People are in hesitation and uncertainty, and even many fights broke out, because those who believe and do not believe are extremely determined. Some believe that Nan'an Hou can do it, while others think that it is impossible. Several street fights are just a vent of this kind of emotion. People are willing to believe it, but they cannot believe it. This situation has made everyone even more irritated.

Now that the news has been confirmed, people can release their previous fear without reservation, and this joyful and happy mood almost ignited the city. Yang Shiwei and Zheng Liqi did not send the city guards or the yamen front officers and robbers to rush the ground. People cheered in all the streets and alleys, and people called friends everywhere. Men made an appointment to drink. Women discussed the age of Nan'an Hou and their marriage with Changwen Hou Mansion. Nan'an Hou was young and Yingwei, and they were so outstanding. Many young women and unmarried girls almost shone their eyes. When they talked, they wanted to be Chen Wenjun who was about to get married. At this moment, the Chen family of Changwen Hou Mansion became the most enviable person for young women in Fuzhou.

Lu Wenluo kept moving forward, with thousands of people following him, surrounding him, and the literate people read the words on Lu Bu aloud, only then did they realize the hardships of the war and the dangers of the victory and the defeat.

"It turns out that there are really more than 30,000 pirates, and they are all giant Luzon thieves."

"This battle is also very dangerous!"

"It's safe to others, but what's the point of Nan'an Hou?"

"That's true. From the battle of the Minjiang River to the pacification of Chen Yutai, the Marquis of Nan'an had been beheaded for thousands of levels and had great martial arts. The talents in the royal family asked me to say that the Marquis of Nan'an were the first, and the official was stingy. Until now, he refused to give him Duke, let alone the title of prince."

"The official family has no son..."

Even if the topic ends here, the political atmosphere of the Great Wei has always been relaxed. People can praise and criticize the officials. The people in the capital dare to beat the drum if they lose their pigs. Emperor Renzong was not angry and asked people to compensate the man from the inner treasury. At the same time, they ordered the capital to strictly investigate theft cases. This matter was over.

However, the atmosphere has been tense in the past decade. Today's officials are more jealous and do not be very kind to the ministers, let alone the people.

Taxes plus taxes, and any objectors will be demoted to other places, and all foreign officials will be dismissed. Several newspapers that dare to talk nonsense have been banned.

There are many scholars and people who violate the ban and are arrested. People have learned to act cautiously and be careful of disasters coming from their mouths.

"Beheading 23,000 levels..." Someone looked terrified and said, "Marquis Nan'an is really a Tiansha Star."

"Tsk tsk, I heard that this head is piled up, and Nan'an Hou is really cruel."

"Ren?" Someone retorted: "These beasts, who killed the elderly and children, did not let anyone go when plundering pirates, killed them all. There are many of them who died in the Fujianese. The most vicious pirates are Yan Qi, Liu Dan, and their subordinates. Not to mention killing more than 20,000 people, even if they kill them all, I will only say one thing. If I give me a knife, I can stand there and kill the heads of the thieves, and I will never frown!"

Such arguments are the most popular. The northerners and the southwest and the northwest do not know the harm of pirates, but the southeast know that these guys are almost inhumane, burning, killing, looting at sea and on land, doing all kinds of evil, and there is almost no reason to be forgiven.

Killing these pirates will only make people on Fujian Road feel extremely happy. No one will feel cruel or think that Xu Zi was a bloodthirsty person.

The wave of joy surged to the center of the city, which was the residence of the yamen of the supplication envoys, the royal family streets, and many nobles and gentry.

The gate of Changwen Hou Mansion was also opened, and the lights were brightly lit. Many people rushed to Changwen Hou Mansion and greeted Chen Dujing. Everyone had a lot of praise. They should have said to Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian in person, but Xu Zixian was far away in the East Fan, so everyone had to worship Chen Du, Changwen Hou, and Chen Dujing was happy and his face was shining... At the meeting before afternoon, he and Lao Jiu thought the news was true, but there were still people in the family.

Some people hesitate and cautiously, Chen Dujing sent his son to the Dongfan to inquire about the truth and truth. Some of the clan members were worried that if the pirates were still there, Chen Zhengzhi was at least the eldest son of Changwenhou's mansion. If the next generation of Changwenhou, if he was lost among the thieves, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

As soon as we arrived at night, Chen Zhengzhi was still on the beach, and he was afraid he had not boarded the ship. The news had already arrived. No matter what, the news of the great victory in the war was confirmed. The Nan'an Marquis Mansion killed more than 20,000 levels and formed Jingguan. This was the first military merit of the dynasty in recent decades. He attacked pirate ships at night, burned dozens of ships, captured dozens of ships, and fled. The seas outside Fujian, including Guangzhou, have all been put into danger.

This is quite encouraging and happy good news. Chen Dujing is already extremely happy with Xu Zixian's father-in-law, and he feels even more grateful if he is the head of the Southeast official and gentry family, the court marquis and the important minister.

Fortunately, the King of Qi and others knew the pearl with their eyes and found Xu Zixian among many young royal families. They believed it, used it, promoted it and appointed it. In the end, this pearl shone brightly. At this moment, it is not only the glory of Xu Zixian alone, but also the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, Changwen Marquis Mansion, Fuzhou Wei Family, Xu Family, and many major families who support Xu Zixian's rise are all honored and feel extremely glorious.

Chen Wenjun's identity is inconvenient to go out of the door, but she could hear cheers outside like a tsunami in the inner house. From time to time, people praised Nan'an Marquis' Mansion loudly. The maids kept shuttled through the inner and outer houses, bringing the latest news.

Before midnight, Lubu showed it around the entire city, and almost everyone saw Lubi's victory. Finally, Lubi was copied by the officials of the Pacification Envoy Department, and finally stamped the Pacification Envoy Department's seal and posted it on the various gates of Fuzhou Prefecture City.

Then the government office sent hundreds of officials to beat drums and drums everywhere to announce the end of martial law in the city. Yang Shiwei couldn't wait. As soon as the news was confirmed, the martial law was over. At the same time, the yamen officers announced that even the curfew in the city was lifted. Tonight's Fuzhou City Jinwu could not help but, and people could have a carnival.

Recently, pirates have violated the country, and martial law is strictly followed throughout Fujian Road. There are curfews in all cities. When the news of the curfew being lifted spread, the atmosphere in the city was ignited to the top. People paraded with lanterns everywhere. vendors took the opportunity to set up stalls to make money. The business of snack stalls is the best. Many snack picks have sold short again and again. They have to travel back and forth between homes and streets, supplement the ingredients and then come out to sell them.

People sing, laugh, and drink, and there was noisy everywhere, and the whole city was boiling.

Lu Wenluo had already left the city, and Lubu was tall and headed to Jianzhou at night. He deliberately went to Jianzhou first. After a battle outside Nan'an Town, the Nan'an Marquis Mansion was considered to have a broken face with Jianzhou, but Lubu reported the victory, which was related to the court's face. Even if Wang Yue bit his teeth, he had to open the door to greet the Lubu envoy. Otherwise, he would not only be disrespectful to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, but also disrespect the military and civilians on Fujian Road and the laws of the court. Thinking of Wang Yue's embarrassment, Lu Wenluo was very excited and didn't want to stop for a moment. His horse had just changed at the post pavilion ten miles outside Fuzhou City. The horsepower was fine, and he could use the moonlight to rush on the road without worrying about anything.

As for the robbers, Jianzhou is not peaceful. I guess the thieves can only avoid seeing a big man like Lu Wenluo holding a bow and carrying an arrow. No one will have any idea of ​​him.

...

"Please, please."

"Please, General Liu!"

Liu Guangsi was wearing a short red round neck robe with no gold belt on his waist that showed his identity. He only used a cloth strip to kill his waist. He was wearing a pair of semi-old treacherous military boots on his feet. His hair was messy, and he only used a wooden hairpin to wear in the middle of his hair bun, just fixing his hair without scattering.

There was a guitar knife tied around his waist, which was also half new and not old, hanging around his waist and swaying in front of him.

Liu Guangsi liked this. The old imperial guards liked to show off the look of Lao Qiu Ba, so as to attract people's hearts in the army. But everyone understands that this set can only scare the new recruits who have just joined the army. After being in the camp for a long time, he knew that Liu Guangsi was neither good at training nor good at fighting. His thirty years of military career was nothing more than making his mouth bigger and his shouting louder.

In addition, deducting food and salary, filling private pockets, and buying land in their hometowns are also things that everyone knows. This commander has always felt good. In fact, if the King of Qi intends to kill him and leads his troops to support the first Japanese army, there will not be many imperial guards fighting for the general.

Xu Ziwei was also a person who felt good. Yuebai's robe, a snail knife with a waist, and a delicate mustache with his lower lip. He looked agile and capable. However, the eldest son of the Zhao Prince's Mansion had never seen him practice martial arts hard, nor did he see him talking to the soldiers. He discussed marches and conquests with the elders, logistical food and salary, camps and camps, etc., and after entering the camp, he just drank with Liu Guangsi.

The two of them were like each other. After drinking in the camp, they praised each other. The atmosphere was warm and the drink was very lively.

Xu Ziwei was also very proud of Liu Guangsi. The military commander did not control the army and was not allowed to be a general. However, Liu Guangsi, an old army, had all reached the level of a general, and was called a false title. Liu Guangsi was of course extremely happy.

"The rumors in the city are getting more and more excessive." Liu Guangsi stroked his gray-white beard, with a cold light in his eyes. He said to Xu Ziwei: "Why did the mansion army say that 6,000 pirates have been defeated by 30,000 pirates, and there are new rumors. It is ridiculous to say that a small boat fire broke through 300 pirates and warships. It is simply ridiculous. Fire attack is so easy. When the thieves arrived in Zhangzhou last time, why didn't the Nanyang Navy attack? Now the navy and military officers are still the same group of military officers, and there are more people from the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion.

Go in, mix sand to control the camp. I have been in the army for more than 30 years. I have never seen anything before. If you get in like this, it will only cause morale to fall and will rise? It’s ridiculous rumors, but there are still many people who believe in it. It’s so helpless!"

Xu Ziwei smiled coldly and said, "This matter must be investigated afterwards."

Liu Guangsi was excited and said, "Don't the eldest son believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it."

"His Royal Highness Zhao has never expressed his opinion, and the morale in the camp is depressed." Liu Guangsi said: "If the eldest son is willing to raise his arms and shout in the camp to boost morale, it will be easier to control the soldiers in the future."

The idea of ​​King Zhao and his son was long clear, that is, to control the Xiang army and then control the imperial guards on Fujian Road.

Since Liu Guangsi was greedy for money and turned against his old master, he must of course give his preferences to help King Zhao.

Liu Guangsi had a deeper idea. King Zhao could not come to the camp in person. Xu Ziwei had served as a sect commander, and he had experience in the army. He might apply to serve as the commander of the imperial guards in the future, and his qualifications were enough. Since this is the case, it would be better to be tactful. Liu Guangsi would have to leave in a few years. It would be better to ask Xu Ziwei to be his deputy first, which would not only please King Zhao and his son, but also prevent him from being suddenly ousted by his deputy. It can be said that he will kill two birds with one stone.

"In another day or two, I will definitely go to the camp when I am down."

Xu Ziwei did not have the most basic political sensitivity of his father. He firmly believed that the outcome of the war in the Dongfan was a complete rumor, and at the same time he knew Liu Guangsi's intentions. If he could take charge of the imperial army, it would be of course a good thing and would also be beneficial to him to consolidate his position as the prince of Zhao. He hit it off at the moment.

"Xu Zixian, I know that he is full of arrogance, and I also admit that he has courage and courage." Xu Ziwei drank a glass of wine and said angrily: "But after all, he is a lucky little man. The faster he rises, the faster he falls. I want to see, when he sends people to release the rumors this time, and when someone exposes them, the images of Nan'an Marquis Mansion and Xu Zixian will plummet. At that time, he will lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot!"

Liu Guangsi was very happy when he heard this and applauded: "What the prince said is very true. Some people don't believe it. I said, I have been in the army for many years and have seen many strange things. After defeating a battle, I am afraid that people will know the truth and falsely claim to win. I am afraid that I will not have enough slaps. Nan'an Marquis' Mansion may not have been destroyed by pirates, but most of them still lost. I struggled to hold on, and I also wanted to use the fake news of the victory to tell us to go out and fight with the pirates. As long as we really have the eyesight, who can't see this?"

"My cousin has been cunning since he was a child, and this may not be impossible to do."

"It's a pity that the nobles in the city really thought that Nan'an Marquis' Mansion could win." Liu Guangsi said angrily: "We imperial guards dare not brag about this kind of bullshit. He has broken tens of thousands of pirates and killed more than 20,000 heads? This is not a joke, so what are our group of people? I, Liu, can only be considered a fucking thing."

Liu Guangsi's jealousy was beyond words. The imperial guards and generals watching around were quite obvious, and everyone didn't agree with it. The rumors were rich in details, and the pirates were indeed missing. There were obvious changes in the Dongfan side. But Liu Guangsi just refused to admit it, and he was blinded by jealousy.

As for Xu Ziwei, he was sincere, because all the generals could see that the prince of the Zhao Prince's Mansion had a lot of experience and was known as a brave and knowledgeable soldier. He was actually just a complete fool.

"This matter was made by Yang Dafu, Zheng Tixing and others." Xu Ziwei said coldly: "As soon as the news is confirmed, I will ask Xunzhang Xiao to impeach these two people. The enemy is facing the enemy, and they sit and watch the rumors confuse the military and the people's spirit and the situation is unrest. Even if they cannot be removed from their posts, they will ask the two governments to reprimand them."

Liu Guangsi was not willing to agree with the matter, but raised his cup and invited Xu Ziwei to say: "The prince's decisive battle is a decisive thing, which makes the general admire him. Please drink this cup."

The two raised their cups and leaned to their lips to drink, and suddenly heard a tsunami-like cheer.

Xu Ziwei and Liu Guangsi were both confused. Liu Guangsi put down his cup and said, "Look at what's going on!"

A tent Dutou ran out quickly. After a moment, this Dutou ran back with his head bare head. It was obvious that his hat had run away. He said breathlessly: "The commander-in-chief, the eldest son, Lu Buqi's envoy from the Marquis of Nan'an's mansion has come into the city, and the people are cheering for this."

"What?" Liu Guangsi glared and said, "Is there really a Lu Bu sent to the city?"

"Yes, Lubu is covered with the seal of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion." Du said excitedly: "The formation kills more than 23,000 levels, and has built Jingguan on the Dongfan Island to strengthen the power of the Wei army. In addition, the enemy ships attacked at night, burned and sunk more than 60 ships, captured more than 40 ships, the main force of the pirates was destroyed, and nearly half of the ships were destroyed. The remaining ships had sailed away that night after being attacked by fire. Now, it has been two days since the Nan'an Marquis Mansion confirmed that the pirates retreated, and then sent Lubu to victory. This battle was the first victory against pirates in the past thirty years, and even in a hundred years, there has been no such martial arts against pirates..."

Liu Guangsi looked at the saliva flying in front of him, and he was so excited that his subordinates were so excited that they felt confused. Looking at Xu Ziwei again, the wine glass in his hand fell on the table at some point, splashing a piece of wine stain on the noble man's chest.

"The world has changed, the world has changed..." Liu Guangsi said in a daze after a while: "Today's Great Wei is no longer the world of our old martial artists."
