The battlefield is still being cleaned up here, and the people of Shenglong have already received the news of Ruan Zhaoqi's defeat. (() The officials and people in the city came out of the city empty, and came to welcome, condole or curry.

I didn't feel any joy as I watched the cheers of hundreds of thousands of people, and I was bored by the piles of corpses. After confessing to An Boya and others, he was escorted back to Thang Long City by Brother Niu. It's not that I'm big, at this time, the battlefield to Shenglong has been surrounded, and it's really not easy to go back to the city if no one opens the way.

When they returned to Amboya's residence, they ordered someone to boil water and take a bath, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Kang Yan arrived in Thang Long with a large army. We did not intend to conquer the country, so the army remained outside the city, and only 2,000 of his own soldiers entered the city with him.

Along with Kang Yan was Chen Si'an, the young lord of Annan. The trembling officials and people of Annam were worried about the retaliation of the new king, and one by one they came out to welcome the new king. When a person is so shameless that it is, I can only stay away and pull Luo Rou not to get involved in their affairs.

Chen Si'an is still young, and all kinds of things are handled by An Boya, so the officials who just slapped the new king's ass surrounded An Boya again.

As for Li Xiangrong's fate, it was already doomed on the day of his rebellion, and all the women under the age of ten and the elderly over eighty were beheaded. There is also a group of accomplices who are punished with varying degrees of severity.

Naturally, I am the first to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, but I do not have a military status, and it is impossible to be promoted, and I have a lot of money. There are gifts from Kang Yan, as well as gifts from Chen Si'an, the newly injured king of Annan, as well as gifts from Annan officials such as An Boya. A rough estimate shows that there are more than 30,000 taels of silver! Of course, these are not all gold and silver, there are also some valuable jewelry and so on.

Coupled with the more than 30,000 taels of bandits, I have really become a rich man, and I will not be hungry in the next life, without doing anything in the next life.

Kang Yan can't leave yet, he still has to help An Boya reorganize the army, he can't leave until the new Annan Army has formed a combat force, and he has to discuss other things. For example, with such heavy casualties in this dispatch, it is impossible not to have some benefits, right? Of course, the specific price that Annan will pay is not something I need to care about. I only remember one thing - I promised Luo Rou that I would leave for Hainan as soon as I won the victory.

I told Kang Yan what I meant, and he was naturally very sincere in retaining me, but I went to Zhijian and made it clear that Annan did not need to fight, and I didn't need to do the rest of the things, so it was better to leave first and see you in Beijing in the next day. Kang Yan knew that I was going to Beijing to take revenge, but he didn't worry that I would never return, so he agreed.

On the third day, Kang Yan, Amboya, Razhendra and other leaders saw me off together, and drank from noon until sunset.

In the evening, I drank almost all night with Brother Niu! Brother Niu wanted to go with me, but he was in the military, and his actions were restricted by military regulations and he couldn't leave without permission. But I have already agreed with Kang Yan to ask him to take Brother Niu with him when he goes to Beijing.

The next day, he got into the carriage drunk and went to Zhennanguan under the escort of more than 100 horsemen.

The scenery of Duobang is intoxicating and is missed before you know it. This drink was really high, and I was in a daze for the next three days.

When he was sober, he was already in Zhennan Pass.

There was nothing to be nostalgic about, so he sent the escorted cavalry back, and drove a carriage with Luo Rou to Chongzuo. Our mounts can still be fostered in Chongzuo, and the two horses are of great significance to each other, so naturally they can't give up.

Lu Zhanpeng, the political envoy of Guangxi, was sitting in Chongzuo at this time, and when he heard that I was coming into the city, he immediately led the officials in the city to welcome me into the pavilion. The news of Thang Long's victory has come, and for me, a person who has made the first contribution and is deeply valued by Kang Yan, Lu Zhanpeng is very hard to make friends at this time. At the grand reception banquet, a lot of things were said about protecting the territory and the people, pacifying Baiyi, and raising the prestige of our army.

stayed in Chongzuo for one night, and the next day as soon as the city gate was opened, he and Luo Rou quietly went out of the city and embarked on the road to the north.

The route has already been agreed, out of Chongzuo to the northeast through Qinzhou, through Zhanjiang to Hai'an to take a boat to the sea.

The hour was still early, and there were no strangers on the official road, and the horses' hooves looked very hollow in the wilderness. Both horses were rare horses, and they galloped more than twenty miles in half an hour to a small town called Serui. Don't be busy in the morning, basically sneak away, breakfast has not yet landed, this way I don't feel a little hungry, so I plan to go into the town to have breakfast, just let the horse rest and rest.

Walking on the street, I didn't see a place selling breakfast for a while. The town is very deserted, and the doors and windows of the shops are not closed, so it seems that there is no market today.

After walking for a while, I saw a small inn called Fengrui Old Inn.

There seemed to be no other choice, and the horse was urged to walk towards the inn. There were a lot of people standing in front of the counter, as if they were arguing about something, and Xiao Er was attracted to it, and no one came out to greet him. I had to shout to the inn: "Little Er, lead the horse!" ”

The guy heard the shout, and then ran out: "Guest officer, you're here!" ”

"Take the horse away, feed it with good concentrate, and find someone to scrub it!" I threw Xiao Er a piece of broken silver, and at the same time I was sighing in my heart, this time is different from the past, over the years, I have been tired and half-dead for a few dollars of silver a month, and now a reward is my monthly salary.

The man took the flying silver in his hands with both hands, and the smile on his face was even greater: "Okay! Rest assured, the small guarantee will give you a proper one! Please be seated inside! ”

After handing over the horse to the man, he walked into the small stack side by side with Luo Rou. Seeing a strange smile on Luo Rou's face, she couldn't help asking, "What's so funny?" ”

Luo Rou smiled and said, "Do you know what you look like now?" ”

"Like what?"

"Like a rich man who has found gold!" After that, he smiled again.

I wanted to punish her, but at this time, I had already walked into the stack, and I wrote down this "hatred" for the time being.

There were more than a dozen people around the counter, a shopkeeper, three juniors, and the others seemed to be residents here.

I don't know what happened, and I don't have a hobby of meddling, so I found a window seat and asked for steamed buns and porridge. After Xiao Er left, he thought about how to punish Luo Rou.

On the other side, the two sides are still arguing.

"This young lady, our small shop is handed down from my grandfather's generation, and what has not been relied on for decades is that it is based on sincerity, if you don't believe it, you can ask the neighbors, everyone knows! Even if I borrow a little old man's courage, I can't steal the things of the guest officer! The shopkeeper said to the tenant who was a little excited.

"Yes! Oh, yes! The guys echoed one by one, but their words could not dispel the concerns of the residents, of course your family helped themselves to speak, who would believe your words?

A woman's whimper came from the crowd, the voice seemed to be a little familiar, and I looked at myself in my heart, how could I feel familiar when I heard a woman's voice, I only knew a few women in my life? I know someone who is not in the capital, but in Jiaxing, and the last one is sitting next to me.

A strong man with a loud voice said: "You guys, how can we believe a nest of snakes and rats?" Look at how this young lady has cried, but you only know how to leave the relationship and say something useful, okay? ”

Someone was stolen, and others were glad that they were not stolen, but they were also angry, what if the thief attacked him? Isn't the hard-earned silver in vain, and when I think of this, the residents are all in solidarity with the thief.

"That's it, that's it! This young lady looks like a rich man, and it must be that you are interested in seeing the wealth, and when you colluded with the thief, you should steal someone's bag. ”

"Guest officer, you can't talk nonsense! If the official knows, the small one will have to eat a lawsuit! The shopkeeper said in fear.

The strong man saw that someone echoed him, and waved an iron fist as big as a casserole and said, "Hmph! This brother is right, you still have to hand over the thief honestly, otherwise my fist will not recognize anyone! ”

The shopkeeper was also anxious, and said busily: "It's really not about the small shop, you let the little old man go there to hand over to you?" ”

"I can't hand over people, let's go to the official mansion and kill the mighty stick in one move, see if you guys with old arms and legs can make a move!" A man in his thirties who looked like a businessman said viciously: "When I bought goods in Sichuan, I was colluded by the people of the inn to steal all the silver I purchased. ”

These perennial foreign businessmen, when an accident happens, often show that they have no relatives, so that the heavens should not be called the earth, and they naturally hate this thief to the core, and they hate the unscrupulous shopkeepers who collude with thieves to steal customers, and they hate to eat their blood and eat their flesh!

"Yes, drag it to the official! Drag all the bosses and guys in this shop, I don't believe that all of them are copper skin and iron bones, there are always people who will be tortured! The strong man said and was about to make a move.

When the guys heard this, they all knelt down one by one, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, you must know that you are justified or ignored when you enter the official mansion, and you can't avoid a board.

The shopkeeper repeatedly bowed his hand and said to forgive: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's okay to see the official, but you can't talk nonsense, this old bone of the little old man can't stand the torture!" ”

Everyone was willing to pay attention to him, and they were about to pull people one by one.

"Big brothers!" I only heard the whimpering woman say: "Forget it, this old man doesn't look like a bad person, only blame me for my miserable life!" Thank you, big brothers! ”。
