Chapter 111: The Capital

"Report! The rebels have captured Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and the establishment of Fuzhou is in an emergency!"

On Suzaku Street, the lively street was quiet for a moment.

He ...... What did he say? Running too fast to hear clearly. ”

"It seems to be saying that Fuzhou and Quanzhou have fallen. ”

"Izumi...... Quanzhou, where is Quanzhou?"

"You ask me, how do I know!"

The people of the market who have traveled less than 100 miles do not know where Quanzhou is, and there are people who clearly understand it on Suzaku Street.

In the restaurant, several people who looked like scholars were holding wine glasses and were stunned.

"Did I hear me right? Fuzhou and Quanzhou have fallen?"

"That's right, that's what the postman said. ”

"Didn't you say that Wang Dashuai had recovered Yangzhou and that the rebels were being defeated and absconding? It's only been a few days! Why have Fuzhou and Quanzhou fallen? Isn't there any mistake?"

"It shouldn't be, just now the post soldier had a flag on his back, and the eight hundred miles of the military department were urgent, and the horses were not changed. No one dares to make a mistake!"

"That'...... Even if the rebels go south, it is estimated that they will not even be able to reach Xianxialing, so how can they take the two prefectures of Fu and Quanzhou so quickly?"

"It's not clear......"

The sound of horses' hooves faded away, leaving the streets full of chatter.

When the post soldiers ran to the Suzaku Gate, the guard general of his own palace reported to the government office. Today's political hall is on duty is Xu Fan, after opening the military newspaper, Xu Fan didn't even care about the crown and ran towards the Taiji Hall in a hurry.

Today's Li Longji rarely did not accompany Yang Yuhuan to watch the song and dance, but stood in front of a screen and watched carefully. On the screen hangs a map, which is covered with mountains and rivers.

"Holy Lord, something is wrong!" Xu Fan hurriedly ran in.

Li Longji turned around and asked with a calm expression, "What's the matter?"

"Fuzhou and Quanzhou have fallen, Quanzhou Taishou Feng Renzhi has died in battle, and the rebels are now marching towards Jianzhou......" Xu Fan said quickly despite sweating profusely.

Li Longji still looked calm.

"Please also ask the Holy Lord to make a countermeasure early...... Xu Fan raised his head and looked at Li Longji, but saw that Li Longji's eyes were slightly sunken, and there was an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Holy Lord, Holy Lord......" Xu Fan tried to get Li Longji back.

Li Longji then shifted his empty eyes to Xu Fan's body, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense.

"Shengshang, is it ......" Xu Fan chuckled in his heart, his eyes turned from Li Longji to the screen behind him, but he saw that it was actually the military map of the southern part of the Tang Dynasty!

"Shengshang, you already knew?" Xu Fan was surprised, and after a while, he muttered in a low voice: "Also, the speed of the internal guard is naturally much faster than the military post of the military department!"

"Then why is the Holy ......" Xu Fan looked at Li Longji with confused eyes.

"Why didn't I convene the ministers to discuss?" asked Li Longji with a smile.

"Could it be that the Holy Lord has already issued an edict to Wang Shuai?" Xu Fan saw Li Longji's calm appearance, so he guessed.

Who knew that Li Longji was still smiling, and replied decisively: "No!"

Xu Fan's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Zhiyuan, don't you think there has been some chaos in Beijing recently?" Li Longji smiled, but his eyes were cold.

Xu Fan was stunned, met Li Longji's gaze, and said calmly: "The officials are a little troublesome!"

Li Longji glanced at Xu Fan deeply and asked, "Then who do you think these people are coming for? What about those bull ghosts and snake gods behind them?"

With Xu Fan, who was prepared, this time, the answer was smoother: "It's a little careful, people, who can still have some ideas?"

"Hahahaha, I knew you would say that!" Li Longji laughed.

"Don't be a peacemaker here! I've been in power for decades, and I haven't seen any battles? A few disobedient little guys, I don't care about it yet!"

Xu Fan looked at the high-spirited Li Longji, and for a moment when Li Longji couldn't see it, there was a deep sadness in the depths of his eyes.

When people are old, they always like to talk about the scenery of the past, and only the old people will remember the past......

陛xià, old!

This is sad and dangerous!

"What about the rebels, ......?" Xu Fan waited for Li Longji's answer.

Li Longji waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay! The Yang family's group of rats can't make any big trouble!"

"Tomorrow is the big court, Zhiyuan, go back tonight and have a good rest, and I will let you watch a good show tomorrow!"

Xu Fan left the imperial city, with a tired body.

After returning home, Xu Fan shrank his whole body in the rocking chair, turned his head and said to Xu Bo on the side: "Go and call the three boys!"

"This ......" Xu Bo wanted to speak and stopped?

"What's wrong?" Xu Fan asked with a frown.

"Third son, he's not in the house!" Uncle Xu lowered his head.

"It's a good thing that those two bastards did again?" Xu Fan was already upset, but now when he heard it, his anger suddenly rose: "Go, put those two bastards in the ancestral hall, fifty boards per person, and be grounded for a month!

"Huh?" Xu Bo exclaimed in surprise.

The contradictions between Wang Ce, Xu Junyi, and Xu Junzhong are intensifying day by day, and it is not the first time that Wang Ce has moved out of Xu's mansion. But it was the first time for Uncle Xu to see the master so angry.

"Oh, I'll go ...... now" Although he was surprised, Xu Bo came back to his senses in an instant.

"No need! You can find someone else to go, just bring the words! Now hurry up and go out and find the third boy, I have something urgent!" Xu Fan waved his hand to stop.

"Okay, master!" Xu Bo felt the anxiety in Xu Fan's heart, and his pace couldn't help but speed up a lot.

A horse-drawn carriage departed from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after leaving the gate of Buzheng Fangfang, it ran quickly along Huangcheng Avenue all the way to the east.

Except for the stagecoach, the Suzaku Gate was not allowed to travel quickly, but the guards in front of the Jinshui Bridge knew Xu Xiang's carriage, so they did not step forward to stop it.

Wang Ce bought a house in Chang'an, just in the East Market, opposite a porcelain shop. This was bought by Wang Ce on his own initiative, but none of the teenagers who came to Chang'an opposed this decision.

A few days ago, the eldest brother sent a letter from Shengzhou, saying that he had begun to recruit a lot of people, and it seems that the house he originally bought is now a little small. In the past few days, Wang Ce has been busy acquiring the land next to him.

In the East Market, where every inch of land is valuable, it is not easy to purchase such a large industry, so Wang Ce can only go out in person.

"Third brother, what's the matter? Did Fat Wei agree?" Zhang Li, who stayed to watch the house, saw Wang Ce coming back, so he greeted him and asked.

"The price was raised three times before this fat man agreed!" Wang Ce replied.

"Damn, this Wei fat man is greedy enough!" Zhang Li scolded and scolded.

"Forget it, who let him see that we are in urgent need?" Wang Ce persuaded him.

"By the way, go get the cash, Chang'an's cabinet, this fat man doesn't recognize it, he has to cash money, let's go to the yamen to sign the deed, lest this fat man change his hexagram when the time comes!"

"Okay!" Zhang Li said, and ran towards the courtyard.

"Xiao Cezi, what about buying land again?" Tang Yuan, who was on the other side of the street, was holding a delicate purple clay pot in his hand, which was soaked in the dragon well before the Ming Dynasty, and ran across the street gracefully.

These good things have now become Tang Yuan's favorite, and he has to bring this teapot with him wherever he goes, and take two sips from time to time, Tang Yuan feels that he is particularly stylish! And the most important thing is that these things are the only ones in Chang'an!

Tang Yuan always likes to lift the lid of the teapot every time he drinks tea, and after wafting out a little aroma, and then under the attention of everyone, he takes two sips leisurely and comfortably, with an endless aftertaste on his face.

"Uncle Tang, you still call me Tie Niu, this name is like a eunuch!" Wang Ce turned around and looked at Tang Yuan with a dissatisfied expression.

"Haha, okay! Then call you Iron Bull!" Tang Yuan said with a smile.

"Iron Bull, why did you buy so much land?"

"Live! The eldest brother has recruited some brothers in Shengzhou, and the original house is not enough to live in!"

Tang Yuan listened, looked around, and said to Wang Ce in a low voice: "Tie Niu! The order of the imperial court is to let Xiao Chen recruit troops on the spot, and the recruited personnel are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, so bring them back like this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"

Looking at Tang Yuan's face full of concern, Wang Ce smiled heartily and said, "Uncle Tang, don't worry! When the battle in the south is over, our brothers will be able to earn a few martial arts positions to some extent, and then we only need to divide these people into personal soldiers." ”

"Oh oh!" Tang Yuan nodded, Tang Yuan only knew a rough idea of these things, and only reminded him out of concern that since the teenagers had their own countermeasures, he would no longer be worried.

As he was saying this, the sound of horses' hooves came to this place!

"Teacher's carriage?" Wang Ce heard the sound of horses and looked up.

"......Huh" The carriage stopped suddenly, Xu Bo didn't even get off the car, he couldn't wait to lift the curtain, and saw that Wang Ce was at the door, and then shouted: "Third son, get on the car quickly, the master is in a hurry!"

"Oh!" Wang Ce was stunned for a moment and nodded.

It happened that Zhang Li ran out of the house, and Wang Ce ordered: "You go to Boss Wei to sign the deed!"

"Okay!" Zhang Li saw that Uncle Xu was coming, and he also knew that Xu Fan must have something to do.

"Uncle Tang, then I'll go first, see you later!"

"Teachers beckon, hurry up!"

Wang Ce got into the carriage, and the coachman turned his horse's head on the spot and left at the same speed.

In the carriage, Xu Bo asked with a smile, "That person is Tang Yuan?"

"Hmm!" Wang Ce nodded.

"The one who is thousands of miles together?" Xu Bo laughed again.

"His daughter!" Wang Ce emphasized: "It's the eldest brother who takes a fancy to it, it's not just my business!"

"Okay, that guy Xiao Chen is hiding in Shengzhou and doesn't come, but his heart is here to remember!" Xu Bo said.

"Hehe!" Wang Ce didn't know how to answer, so he had to smirk.

"Then what is the Longjing tea before the Ming Dynasty, I heard that Xiao Chen gave it to Tang Yuan? Not even the master?" Xu Boqi glanced at Wang Ce and said with a smile.

"This ......" Wang Ce's eyes rolled and replied: "Big brother said, this year's tea trees are not ripe yet, and the fragrance will become more and more intense when they are picked during Qingming next year, and they will all be sent to the teacher at that time!"
