It was getting bright, but there was still a dead silence in Shanyang City.
Although the chaos finally subsided last night, the shock to the people and others in Shanyang City was not so easy to subside.
No matter how the outside world changes, in Mayi County, there is a false sense of security among the people in Shanyang City.
The famous minister and general Wang Rengong were in charge, and more than 10,000 elite troops of the Mayi Yingyang Mansion were guarded by him. The elite troops of Mayi were famous all over the world, and the heroes dared not invade.
Although Liu Wuzhou was unruly, under Wang Rengong's reputation, he could only stay in the clouds honestly.
As for the Turks, did the Turks still have a better memory in the last year's defeat?
Although Mayi County had been plundered by Wang Rengong, the people were living in poverty, and the defenses in various places were empty, and the Turks were in the north and were always planning to move south again. Liu Wuzhou was far away from his thoughts, and the Duke of Tang in Hedong always wanted to interfere in Mayi.
But in Shanyang City, it is somewhat considered to be peaceful and peaceful, thinking that Shanyang will continue to be stable in this chaotic world.
But a mess last night completely shattered this false sense of security that came from nowhere.
The more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the Yingyang Mansion of Mayi were not worthy of dependence. A young general under Liu Wuzhou, Le Langjun, forced thousands of Mayi soldiers to collapse and run.
Wang Rengong's prestige does not seem so reliable, otherwise thousands of defeated soldiers would not cause trouble outside the city gate. Wang Rengong was forced to cut down dozens of heads and confront the defeated soldiers alone, which was only possible to be comforted!
Even Liu Wuzhou could not deal with it, and how terrible should Duke Tang of Hedong be? Can this Shanyang situation be maintained?
The Mayi families who were avoiding chaos in Shanyang City for a time had the intention of leaving the city and migrating to other places.
After Wang Rengong quelled the rebellion, he immediately sent troops and horses to sever the whole city.
There were clappers in various parts of the city, and the Zhonglei camp infantry was on duty, and above the streets, Mayi Yue cavalry patrolled and inspected.
In the entire Shanyang City, except for the military exchanges between the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi, there is no voice at all.

In the inn, Liu Wenjing frowned and pondered hard in the quiet room of the two-story building, looking at a simple golden flower sign on several tables.
After the Great Sui Dynasty and Chen Dynasty, these horse-defenders of the past were influenced by the south wind and valued poetry and essays. People with famous literary reputations were very popular.
If the children of aristocratic families cannot come to this, they will be ashamed to speak in the high meeting where the captains are gathered.
After the unification of the Great Sui Dynasty, all ethnic groups merged, north and south, and various cultures collided together. In terms of culture, signs of being about to erupt vigorously.
As an ambitious person, Liu Wenjing naturally refused to be pulled down in terms of literary name.
Thousands of defeated soldiers in Shanyang City were in chaos, and Liu Wenjing got up early and wanted to write a poem. He claimed that he was in the border area for a long time, and what he saw was the war and Hu Man. He was afraid that his literary thoughts would be exhausted, so he had to start and polish it.
But after sitting in the quiet room for almost an hour, there was no ink on this simple golden flower sticker.
In the quiet room, Zhang Silang was the only one who was attending Liu Wenjing.
This great hero from the world who is connected with Hedong and Mayi seems to have become one of Liu Wenjing's most trusted confidants. It seems that he has finally found an opportunity to make a comeback under the aristocratic family.
However, Zhang Silang was not interested in Liu Wenjing's great cause of poetry. He rarely stood at the window with a little restlessness, looking out from the crack in the window from time to time.
Sometimes I can't help myself and walk around for a few steps.
Zhang Silang's movement finally disturbed Liu Wenjing. He suddenly browned impatiently and said angrily: "Zhang Si, can't you calm down for a while? Burn the piano and cook the crane, why not!"
Zhang Silang hurriedly bowed to apologize, stood up, suddenly listened, and opened the window a crack.
Liu Wenjing beat the case hard: "Go out!"
Zhang Silang bowed again and pointed to the gap in the window: "The arrival of the carriages and horses outside the door is the prefect's ceremonial guard."
Liu Wenjing paused for a moment, laughed and stood up: "We're finally here!"
He pushed the case up and never looked at the signature again: "Changing clothes! The prefect Wang is so arrogant. I came under the banner of Duke Tang. I saw him and drove him out of the door. But the prefect Wang knew it was amazing after all. How could the matter in the north be separated from Duke Tang!"
At this moment, outside the inn, there were cars and horses, and they had arrived at the door. Among the team, there was Wang Rengong's ceremonial guards. Wang Rengong rode his horse, and his son Wang Zhongtong followed him, surrounded by dozens of guards. Wang Rengong's white beard was floating. Although he had experienced a night of busyness and nervous danger, at this moment, there was still no sign of fatigue on Wang Rengong's face, and his eyes were still as sharp as lightning.
However, Wang Zhongtong, who was following Wang Rengong, had a blue-tongued face and two big dark circles of eyes, as if she was still in shock. She immediately wanted to yawn countless times, but she could barely hold it back.
Before he could reach the entrance of the inn, the inn was busy greeting him and bowing to the side of the road.
Wang Rengong and others also slowed down a little. At this time, they had to wait for Liu Wenjing to come out, otherwise there would be no place for the prefect of a county to save their face.
Liu Wenjing was also calm and never showed up during this time she deliberately let go.
Anger flashed on Wang Zhongtong's face and he looked at his father from time to time. Wang Rengong had a blank face without any emotional fluctuations.
The team finally arrived at the entrance of the inn. Only then did they hear footsteps. Liu Wenjing, following the guards, greeted her with a spring breeze on her face, and descended to the steps and clasped her fists and reported: "Mr. Duke of the County has come in person, and Liu has never met you. I am really guilty!"
When they met, Wang Rengong, who was arrogant and incompetent, immediately smiled in his face. He threw away the reins and turned over and dismounted, quickly stepped forward, holding on to Liu Wenjing's hands: "I have not made a letter, so I came to the door to be a villain. But Mr. Liu should not be accustomed to it. How can I afford such etiquette?"
Liu Wenjing looked panicked and said repeatedly: "I am a descendant. I am only the head of a county in terms of official positions, and I am even more at the back of the county in terms of qualifications. How can I be called a minister? I can just call it a certain name!"
Wang Rengong pointed Liu Wenjing and laughed: "Zhaoren, Zhaoren, aren't you angry and treating you so arrogantly? The county's military affairs are urgent and are full of things, so Zhaoren has been living in the inn for a long time. If there is any fault, it is all of them. Zhaoren should not see you again, so please?"
The two of them were in harmony, which made Wang Zhongtong roll his eyes. His father bowed to the Duke of Tang in Hedong, which made Wang Zhongtong even more angry. But the current situation is better than others, what can I do?
At the entrance of the inn, Wang Rengong still gave a complete set of etiquette with Liu Wenjing, asking his son Wang Zhongtong to present a famous post on his behalf, and then introduced Wang Zhongtong and Liu Wenjing to meet each other. After giving in for a long time, they joined hands and entered. In the quiet room where the postman had already cleaned up, they sat down with guests and hosts, then picked up the tea soup and saluted each other.
Looking at Wang Rengong who was extremely kind today and watching his unrighteous manner, Liu Wenjing held the tea soup and pondered for a while, and finally said with a smile: "Last night, the soldiers outside Shanyang City were disturbed. I wonder if there is any change in Mayi County now?"
As soon as he said something, he suddenly calmed down during the meeting. Wang Zhongtong looked at his father. The smile on Wang Rengong's face was as if it was engraved on his face, and it had not changed at all.
In the quiet, Wang Rengong finally spoke: "I am coming for this matter. I have something to ask for the Duke of Tang. I hope Zhaoren will be in the middle and say more to someone."
Liu Wenjing smiled and bowed: "The Duke of the County has given me an order, but I dare not obey the order."
