85_85249 Most of these people's eyes will sweep over Tai Shuxuan, the queen mother who has just been in Quanzhou Liwei, is what they are most keen to discuss, as for Ouyang Xuan, in the hearts of the people, he is the embodiment of God, and he is a character who lives in their hearts. And this queen mother is from a civilian background, coupled with the story of the eldest princess, which makes people more curious about this queen mother. When this story reached the ears of the uncle in the capital, it was two months later, and the old man was not as excited as the uncle and the eldest princess, but silently returned to the backyard to prepare a table of wine and food, and six pairs of dishes and chopsticks were placed on the table. The old man picked up the wine jug and filled the wine glasses in each position, raised the wine glass and said: "Xuan'er has come out of breath and got what she wants, you know under the spring, and you will be as happy as the old man." Come and drink this cup", and drank it down. After eating a few bites of food, he raised his glass again, said some words, and drank with his neck up, and drank alone in the house all afternoon, until nightfall, when he fell asleep on the table. Uncle Tai and his wife came to persuade him several times to no avail, but he just ordered the servants to keep an eye on the old man until the old man fell asleep, and then he moved Uncle Tai to the bed with confidence. Tai Shuyuan looked at the sleeping old man and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and quietly exited the door. Yang Tian let out a long sigh, turned back to Ouyang Qian and said, "Lady, go back to the room and sleep first." and as a husband, he shall speak something to heaven."

Zhao Han, the auxiliary prime minister of Minzhou who temporarily acted as the prefect of Minzhou, and Tong Wei, who temporarily acted as the Taishou of Quanzhou, led officials at all levels to bow down to the front of the crowd, and the team came to the front, these officials and the surrounding onlookers paid homage, Ouyang Xuan turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Zhao Han and Tong Wei, and supported the two with both hands. Turning back to face the crowd? Said loudly: "Let's all be flat!" ”。

Ouyang Xuan turned around and said to Tong Wei again: "It's hard for you all these years, I will not disappoint the loyal minister." You first temporarily take the position of the prefect of Quanzhou, I have already inquired, your family is still in the capital, and your wife is still guarding for you. I will make you loyal and righteous, and my wife will be awarded the third order. to show your loyalty to China. A hundred years later, it is still in the Meritorious Pavilion, enjoying the worship of future generations, and the tablet of the Meritorious Pavilion is temporarily sealed. What do you think? ”。“ Your Majesty, thank you for the grace of the Holy Emperor". Tong Wei knelt down on one knee and bowed deeply. "Calm down, your exploits are not under the generals of the battlefield. I have written a letter to the current emperor, and I think there will be a new appointment soon. The pardon will also be issued at the same time". Ouyang Xuan picked up Tong Wei again and said. At this time, Tong Wei was already a little excited, how rare the title of Huaxia is, now there are only six dukes in the country, only seventeen marquises, and less than 100 other titles in the country. Getting a knighthood is already the life wish of the Chinese people, and it is also the root of why they are keen to join the army. But now that the neighbors are at peace and there is no war, it is even more difficult to get a knighthood. Ouyang Xuan has only made two marquis since he ascended the throne for the second time, one is Tai Shuyuan, and the other is this Tong Wei, how can this not make Tong Wei excited.

The next ceremony is the cliché ushering and sending, going through the motions step by step, the only difference is that in the end, Ouyang Xuan hosted a banquet for the veterans in Quanzhou City in the largest restaurant in Quanzhou, and listened to them tell some about the recent situation in Quanzhou and Minzhou. As representatives of public opinion, these veterans also spoke freely at the banquet and put forward some suggestions for future development. Ouyang Xuan humbly became a student, and the development of today's society is not something that Ouyang Xuan's own wisdom can handle, so every year Ouyang Xuan has to go to the private micro-service to visit, investigate public opinion, and listen to suggestions from all parties. Every time I go to a different place, I encounter different things.

Ouyang Xuan stayed in the palace in Quanzhou for a month, and it was not until the officials in the capital who took over the Zhou case were in place, and all the imperial appointments were complete, and Ouyang Xuan set off for a cruise ship in Quanzhou Port. Disembarked at the naval base, changed to a four-wheeled carriage, and took a dry road. This time Ouyang Xuan really did a businessman, the whole convoy except for the white wolf phoenix and the Taishu Xuan Ouyang Duo's vehicle, the rest of the frame was full of goods, mostly all kinds of household small items, and some luxury goods such as jewelry and jade, before leaving, Ouyang Xuan loaded a few more carts of medicine and walked west along the official road. On the way, he changed trains several times and shuttled between various counties to collect and sell goods. In some scenic places, the brigade will naturally stop and visit, and when the interest is high, they will also write poems and paintings to commemorate it.

The group walked and stopped, but it was also relaxed. Tai Shuxuan led Ouyang Duo like two children, skewering back and forth. Ouyang Xuan had to give up his Xuanyuan horse to Uncle Xuan, and bought a high-quality pony for Ouyang Duo. When no one was around, the white wolf and the phoenix emperor were able to get out of the car and join the two of them in causing trouble. Although this road is far away, and there are many villages, towns and cities, it is also a song and laughter along the way. Especially when buying and selling goods, these people give full play to their potential business talents, especially Ouyang Duo, at a young age, he vividly interprets the talent of a businessman, coupled with the cooperation of Tai Shuxuan, sometimes Ouyang Xuan has an illusion that these two people are not born to be businessmen.

In late spring and early summer, the group finally arrived at Nga Cheng (south of present-day Cam Ranh City, Vietnam) in Viet Chau (present-day southern Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia), a small city of 100,000 people, a naval port, and a haven for busy business. Ouyang Xuan took Ouyang Duo's account book and looked at it, but Ouyang Xuan was taken aback, in the past four months, this caravan that is not large in scale has actually earned seven thousand gold coins, which is the income of an ordinary commoner's family for nearly twelve years, and the income of a second-grade official for three years, not counting the goods that are still full of goods on the frame. Ouyang Xuan really began to admire this little Ouyang Duo's business acumen, because he had to transfer to a warship to Qiongzhou, Ouyang Xuan had to order with a bitter face to let the two business-loving combinations sell all the goods on the frame within three days, purchase some living materials at sea, and prepare to board the ship.

The two of them completely ignored Ouyang Xuan's expression, and after listening to Ouyang Xuan's order, they pushed each other and walked out of the house quickly, and began to let the Yulin guards catch up with the car, and found a dock close to the crowded place of the dock, and put the goods in a row by category, and there were three people behind each type of goods who were responsible for selling. These guards are usually either in the barracks or by Ouyang Xuan's side, and they rarely have the opportunity to enjoy this kind of market life, so naturally they will not miss every opportunity to deal with society, whether it is selling or bargaining, or collecting money and change, they are all done in an orderly manner according to their habits. In less than a day, nearly half of the goods had been sold, and when the sun was in the west, the group packed up the goods, loaded them on the frame, and Tai Shuxuan led Ouyang Duo to the front of the road and went straight to the naval camp in the station. When it was less than a mile away from the military port, suddenly the ground began to shake violently, making it difficult for people to move an inch, except for Ouyang Duo, these people are all people who have been trained for a long time and know how to prevent cheating.

Just as the ground began to shake, the guards hurriedly put down the mules and horses beside them, and regardless of the supplies on the cart, they crouched down and pressed the frightened mules and horses hard. Ouyang Duo was held in his arms by a guard, squatting on the side of the road, and a female guard turned his body to look at the mules and horses behind, and there were guards on guard around him, holding the weapon hidden in his sleeve tightly. If there are frightened cows and horses, they will unceremoniously kill them. There are also several guards who are responsible for observing the surrounding buildings. Uncle Tai Xuan squatted down unhurriedly, patted the shoulder of the female guard commander with his hand, and quickly scanned the shaking scenery around him. Suddenly, she noticed that the sea water on the beach not far away was rapidly receding, and Tai Shuxuan also faintly felt a little uneasy. At this moment, one of the guards in charge of the perimeter guard shouted: "Move quickly to the mountain, there will be a big tide coming." After hearing this, the rest of the guards quickly looked at the retreating sea water, all of them had a solemn face, and they did not wait for the earthquake to pass, the guards picked up the mules and horses, each horse was led by two people, and the guards holding Ouyang Duo picked up the little guy who was still curiously looking at the sea water into the carriage, and with the traffic, braved the strong earthquake and walked to the top of a mountain two miles away. The whole procession marched in an orderly manner without the slightest disorder.

Ouyang Xuan, who was listening to the report of the Navy at the military port, had a feeling of uneasiness from the beginning, at the moment when the earthquake came. He led people out of the room quickly, saw the receding sea water for the first time, and hurriedly ordered the admirals and deacons around him: All members of the navy returned to the ship, sailed into the deep sea area, and listened to the order. The deacon's guards mobilized the local Burmese army garrison with their own waist cards and seals to evacuate the crowd to high places, away from the coast. Ouyang Xuan had just finished giving the order when a guard hurriedly reported against the still trembling ground, "Your Majesty, the Holy Empress and the Duo Gongzi have been escorted by the guards to the top of the mountain on the shore. Your Majesty, please."

"Well, good, very well done. Ordered the Yulin army to go to the top of the mountain immediately, and at the same time evacuate the nearby people to the top. Go ahead, time is running out." "No!"

The shaking of the ground lasted for about ten minutes before it ended, and Ouyang Xuan, accompanied by five guards, quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, and at the top of the mountain, he could clearly see that the sea water was still retreating, and the algae roots on the bottom of the sea had been exposed, and there were a large number of shrimp and crabs struggling on the beach. The deacon's guard next to him sent various reports from the communicator, and the people and merchants in the entire cliff city were evacuating to the high ground with the assistance of the army, and all the naval ships had retreated to deep water. After another quarter of an hour, Ouyang Xuan finally heard from the communicator that the evacuation of the whole city had been completed, and a hanging heart was finally put down, and he didn't know what the situation was in the other coastal cities. As the western sky turned red at sunset, the retreating waters suddenly stopped receding, and a white line moved forward rapidly, accompanied by a rumbling roar. The white lines of the waves became clearer and clearer, quickly passing through the recently receded seabed, saving the fish and shrimp that were still struggling. In the telescope, you can clearly see that the waves are more than 30 meters high, rushing towards the shore. "Damn, as soon as I arrived here, God gave me such a big courtesy." Ouyang Xuan couldn't help but scold after being afraid.

The people on the top of the mountain also looked at the shore, and they were all shocked by the huge waves. "This is still the head of the shallow sea, and if it hits the shore, it is thirty or fifty feet high. enough to engulf Cliff City". Before Ouyang Xuan's words fell, the waves at the head were blocked by the rocks on the shore and instantly stirred up monstrous waves, as Ouyang Xuan said, it was fifty or sixty zhang high, and the sea water instantly overflowed the farthest coastline and rolled up a water wall dozens of zhang high and rushed towards the Yacheng urban area. The slightly overwhelming waves had already hit the mountainside of this hill, and the huge waves had almost reached the top of the mountain. Although this hill is not high, it is also 100 feet high, which shows the power of the tsunami. After a while, the originally prosperous cliff city was instantly overwhelmed by the monstrous waves, and Ouyang Xuan's back was also cold, and he could only silently pray that other coastal cities could take precautions. Unlike other coastal cities, Yacheng is located in a bay with a narrow strait that connects with the open sea. Even so, the tsunami still engulfed an originally prosperous city, how could it not make Ouyang Xuan afraid.

When it was completely dark, the coast returned to calm after experiencing more than a dozen tsunamis, which were low tide and high tide. The shore is also a mess, and in the moonlight you can clearly see all kinds of wood, dead livestock, and living debris. At this time, Ouyang Xuan really didn't know what to do, unlike the high-power searchlights available in later generations, all he had to do now was to wait for the dawn. Ouyang Xuan sent several guards along the mountain road to the high ground where the masses had taken refuge to find out the news, Ouyang Xuan was not very optimistic about the disaster situation here now, and the waves had reached the top of the mountain when the waves were at their highest.

After hastily arranging people to be on duty, everyone gathered around the fire and had a brief dinner, before they each found a place to sleep. Ouyang Duo and Tai Shuxuan naturally returned to the car, and Ouyang Xuan and the other guards basically just relied on each other to simply take a nap. Originally, a frame was prepared for Ouyang Xuan for Ouyang Xuan's use, but considering the special situation of the female soldiers, Ouyang Xuan gave up his own frame and the frame of the White Wolf Phoenix Emperor to the female soldiers, and came back from patrolling with the guards, leaning back against the guards, the white wolf lay in Ouyang Xuan's arms, tilting his head and looking into the distance with anxiety. Ouyang Xuan didn't pay much attention to it, patted Buick's head, closed his eyes and squinted briefly for a while.

I don't know how long I slept, a sharp warning whistle sounded, waking Ouyang Xuan up from his dream, Buick and Gu Li had already stared at the northwest with big blue eyes, and their noses twitched from time to time. Ouyang Xuan got up, pulled over a guard on duty, and asked, "What happened?" ”。“ Back to Your Majesty, in the northwest, there is a group of giant animals galloping towards this side."

"Oh, how far is that?" Back to Your Majesty, according to the telescope observations, according to this is less than a mile, because of the mountain situation, has not yet ascended the mountain." The large creatures of this place are none other than elephants and rhinos, which are also the most dangerous beings. "Prepare ammunition and empty ten grenades. Make a noise and drive away the herd". "No!".

Leaning slightly, the sound of crackling firecrackers and fireworks was remembered on the top of the mountain, which made Ouyang Xuan wonder, he ordered to use grenades to make a huge noise, how could this kind of firecracker sound be replaced. Hurriedly walked over to check, it turned out that Ouyang Duo, the little guy, was taking out the unsold firecrackers and fireworks and setting them off non-stop. Ouyang Xuan smiled and shook his head, although it couldn't be effective, but he could think that this section was also a good baby, walked over and picked up Ouyang Duo, who was busy with a match, "The sound of this firecracker is too weak, and it won't work for a fierce beast a mile away." It's better to use a grenade, the sound is loud enough, it can also produce vibration, and it will spread farther, so that the beast will be afraid before it retreats. Otherwise, it will only provoke the curiosity of the beast, which is the same as governing the country, and there must be enough deterrence to shock the enemy. If it is too powerful, or if it is flashy, it will only attract the ridicule of the enemy." Duo'er remembered. It's just that these firecracker fireworks can be detached and trapped together, and ignited at the same time to create a bigger sound. It can be more than grenades, after all, grenades are too expensive, and it is quite a waste to use them for deterrence." "Good boy, it's good to know thrift. That is, deterrence, it is necessary to do whatever it takes, and we must not be opportunistic. Otherwise, if you fail, you will be doomed, and you should be more careful in the future." "Well, Duo'er understands, I'm going to throw the grenade." After finishing speaking, he was about to go down, which made Ouyang Xuan full of joy and said with a smile: "I'll go when you grow up." Now let's watch the adults throw it, it's very dangerous." "Well, it's just that Duo'er is still ten years away when he grows up." "Haha" just such a sentence made the surrounding guards and Ouyang Xuan laugh wildly. The little guy looked at everyone very curiously, and his eyes seemed to say: What are you laughing at? Although it was a seemingly joking dialogue, it had an extremely far-reaching impact on the next three hundred years in China, and it was precisely because of Ouyang Xuan's words that it also created the second stage of prosperity in China, and at the same time laid another hidden danger for the catastrophe four hundred years later.

A moment later, the guards had two grenades, and under the unified order of the guards, one by one the grenades rained down into the pit dug by the mountain demon, and the echo caused by the rumbling explosion dissipated for a long time, and a moment later, the guards standing on a high place reported through the communicator that the beast herd had turned and entered the mangrove forest on the coast, fleeing to the mountains to the north.

The next thing was to sleep, but Ouyang Xuan still had to face a huge disaster, standing on the top of the mountain blowing the sea breeze, and couldn't sleep for a long time. He knew what was going to happen next, but he really didn't know how to deal with it
