In fact, the battle was not over yet, and the sporadic sound of guns occasionally sounded in the fields, trees, streams or mountains in the suburbs. However, this does not affect the upsurge of carnival among the people of Ningbo.

The lion and dragon dances can be seen in all streets, and the sound of firecrackers is louder than the New Year's holiday. There was no need for people to mobilize the organization, there were merchants with servants and men, carrying wine and meat, and sending them outside the barracks for rewards. Due to the prevention of poisoning, these drinks and food may not really fall into the mouths of soldiers, but it is always a good phenomenon that the people are willing to send these things. There are also people who are more direct, sending all snowflakes and silver, and giving hard-earned money to meritorious soldiers.

Of course, under the joy there is also hidden mourning, some people have lost their relatives in the battle just now, crying out for the funeral of their loved ones. Others are burning paper money on the street, shouting "you, your revenge has been avenged, I killed a person today, I really killed a person!" ”

The scholars, complacently doing some Jin Ge iron horses, eulogizing the blood, eulogizing the poems of the war, holding their heads up, holding hands and walking towards the Qing Building. Today, all the buildings in Ningbo have been cleared with conspicuous banners to give condolences to the officers and men of the new army, and the soldiers are free of charge today.

In this chaotic environment, the pair of Liu Wuer and Yang Chengzu is indeed not very conspicuous. In fact, the two had to hold hands tightly, so as not to be dispersed by the crowd. Seeing Liu Guangzu, a hundred local brocade households, arranging flowers and riding on a tall horse on the street, and from time to time arching his hands to both sides, he was surrounded by a group of local people and walked towards a clear building, Yang Chengzu shook his head, "This grandson is also majestic?" In the whole battle, he was only responsible for stalking and arresting people, but he never cut anyone, and he became a hero. When you go to Qinglou, don't you call your own parent official, like words? Pick him up sooner or later. ”

Liu Wu'er smiled, "Ningbo's Qinglou is not interesting, a small place, not on the stage, I will know all these things that the younger generations will know." I can do whatever position you want, so I don't have to rush to join in the fun today. The soldiers are free, and they don't squeeze the door? I really don't know if they can cope with it. ”

"It's just a gimmick, free is nothing more than eating and drinking, and the people who entertain the ugly women inside. Usually there are no guests, at this time to earn a good reputation for their home, there are more people who go, but it can't be played, and the red people are at most out to talk to everyone and have a cup of tea, and then they have to leave, and they can't even touch their hands. It doesn't matter, the new army will not come here today, they will either go to hunt down the remnants of the enemy, or reorganize in the barracks, count the casualties, and check the gains and losses. It's good to have this kind of heart, who doesn't hang this banner, it won't take a month to let it close its doors. ”

"Then your sons, won't they make trouble, beware of their mutiny."

"No, these people will have some savings in their hands after this battle. If you want to start a family, I will try my best to help them find a wife, and if you want to find a woman, you just need to spend money here. At this time, no one dares to look down on the new army, unless they are tired of it. When the time comes, it is better to come here and have fun by yourself than to catch this kind of limelight. ”

Liu Wu'er nodded, "That's true, I can't see a good day like this, except for those maids of the Red Pavilion, the ugly girl who no one orders is an old woman like me, who is angry." In the past, benefactors did not come and went, and they could only entertain low-class guests if they were not free, so it was better to serve the military for one night. ”

"If it's Sister Wu'er, I don't think it's a matter of free, but a matter of using ten thousand taels of gold, and I'm willing to exchange it for a night in spring. I don't care what others think, in my heart, those so-called red people, the head of the Oiran, are far worse than my fifth sister. ”

Liu Wu'er's face was slightly red, and his hand struggled lightly twice, "Don't say that, if you are heard, you will die of laughter." If you don't dislike my background, if you don't dislike me for being old, I'm very happy. I know my identity, my name or something, so I don't have my share, and I can leave a child for retirement in the future, so I can rest assured. Teng Luo leans on the tree, a woman like me, if she leaves you, it will be difficult to even live. So I won't ask for anything more, as long as you can remember me a little. Just like everything in Ningbo, in fact, the strategy I used at the beginning can be regarded as pushing them all to the edge. But I don't care about all this at all, if it weren't for the killing that day, how would they support you, as long as it is for you, even if I go to the eighteenth layer of hell and never be reborn, I am willing. ”

When I returned home, there were also many guests at home, such as Hu Bingzhang, Fang Wenmian and others, all of whom came to say goodbye and discuss the matter of retribution. In the final analysis, it's here to grab credit.

Although Guo Jiujie usually has some big roads, she is the daughter of a noble, and she has the ability to deal with this kind of scene, before Yang Chengzu came, she could also go around and gossip with everyone, but if she really wants a charter, she will definitely not give anything.

Today's battle is not only a victory, but also an unprecedented victory, although the specific number has not come out, but the real Japanese alone, nearly 1,000 people were killed and wounded. With this kind of victory, some people wonder if the nominal commander-in-chief Wu Dinghou can rely on this to enter the public throne of the country? You must know that in the past, the dynasty fought against the Japanese, regardless of victory or defeat, but it has never achieved such a victory.

Of course, the matter of the new army returning from all over the country may have to fight some civil and ink lawsuits, but in the face of such a big victory, there are some small mistakes, and they can still be called trouble? Even without Yang Chengzu coming forward, Hu Bingzhang was willing to take over these troubles and make up for the required procedures. However, he had another consideration, that is, the gentry who were arrested by Yang Chengzu. These people are all local gentry and magnates in the southeast, famous families, and they are caught in prison like that, and if someone dies, it will be equally difficult to explain.

"Don't worry, Liegong, they won't be locked up for too long, and after a few days, I will finish handling the matter at hand, and I will send them to the Nanjing Jinyi Thousand Households. As for how to deal with it, it has its own brocade clothes and guards, and it will not involve a few people. No matter what his identity is, as long as he is involved in the affairs of the people, the court will definitely not tolerate it. ”

The lights flickered, the candlelight was bright, and the second watch had already sounded in the distance. Liu Wu'er, who had already read a thousand faces, seemed to have returned to the night when he had just combed the cage, and the whole person was curled up in the quilt motionless, not knowing whether to look forward to him or not to come, and his mood was extremely complicated. put on and took off his clothes, took off and put them on again, thinking that the other party would take off his clothes with his own hands, but also afraid that he would suspect that he was taking the bridge by himself, in short, he would suffer from gains and losses.

Seeing that it was getting late, she felt sour, most likely he wouldn't come over today. Maybe the big men dragged him to drink flower wine, or maybe he was kept by his wife and stayed there. Maybe it's the cold girl, maybe it's the young but ambitious Cao family?

In fact, in the leopard room, even if she is a favored woman, there are many virtuous women, and similar things are not uncommon. Obviously he was ready to be no-shown, but the tears still wet the pillow, and he endured his sadness, put on a coat and went to the latched door with a candlestick. As soon as her hand touched the door, the door was pushed open violently, and when the light flickered, Yang Chengzu's tall figure appeared in front of her.

"You ......" I don't know whether to be anxious, angry or ashamed, Liu Wu'er actually subconsciously went to close the door, but before the door was closed, people had already squeezed in, picked her up, and walked to the gums. I'm sorry, Sister Wu'er, those people are too bastard, they will talk about it endlessly, and they will take me to Qinglou. Really, I don't want to understand that I have a beautiful woman. Sister Wu'er, the way you wear this belly pocket is really fascinating. ”

The curtain fell, the two people were tightly entangled in one place, Liu Wu'er was like a thirsty and dying traveler in the desert finally met Qingquan, desperately frantically demanding, until he lost his last strength and remained motionless. With a satisfied smile, he snuggled in Yang Chengzu's arms and slept peacefully. In the dream, a heroic man riding a horse and wearing armor waved his hand at her, said take care, rode away, and gradually disappeared.
