The blizzard shows no sign of stopping, and it's now the third day that the Stream Train has returned to the Great King's City, and during those three days, people's hearts are as cold and disturbed as this blizzard. ([8?<<〈<一Chinese<〈网]]).}8}1)

In the early morning of the third day, the calm morning was suddenly broken by the sound of a fine gong, accompanied by the latest decrees.

"Lord Flowing Fire ordered, the Black Iron Legion has expanded, and after making up the difference, it will recruit an additional 30,000 soldiers..."

"The Battle of Zhongzhou Mountain has passed, and the Prime Minister's Office has issued the latest pension regulations, so let's go to the street sign to see it." Not only do those who died in battle receive pensions, but all three generations of their direct family members are exempted..."

"Recruit people's husbands, Lord Liuhuo has set up a hundred theater stages outside the city to celebrate New Year's Day, and everyone will be happy to celebrate the festival..."

......

The sound of gongs became more and more dense, and more than 2o small officials braved the heavy snow and walked through the streets one foot deep and one foot shallow, passing on the various administrative rules newly promulgated by the Flowing Fire Mansion to the people.

Last night's heavy snow was really heavy, and the streets that had been swept clean last night have now accumulated more than a foot of snow, and many people's doors can't be opened, and they are all blocked by snow.

Since the door can't be opened, there are still windows, and a family is not too cold to open the window, and they shout in single clothes on the street.

"Jiang Laosi, are you really fake? This sooner or later, Lord Liuhuo will issue a decree?"

The little official named Jiang Laosi on the street looked up and saw that he was still an acquaintance: "Oh, I said Chief Xie Li, why don't you hurry up and organize people to clear the snow? It's dawn, aren't you afraid of Prime Minister Bai's inspector? Look at me, I'm all trapped..."

"Oh, don't talk nonsense, I'll start doing it in a while, you answer my words first..."

Jiang Laosi rubbed his frozen red nose fiercely, and shouted upstairs, "Isn't this nonsense? The Black Iron Legion recruits troops, it wasn't ordered by Lord Liuhuo, who would dare? Want to rebel? You ordinary people, you know that gossip is spreading everywhere, Lord Liuhuo is obviously a retreat and cultivation, is it good?"

At this time, Jiang Laosi suddenly pretended to be mysterious and said, "Hey... Let me tell you, isn't my uncle's cousin helping the cook in the official residence? Listening to the news from her, it is said that Lord Liuhuo is going to impact the realm of great mastery, and I heard that if you rush over, you will become an immortal..."

"Ahh Jiang Laosi's words were exchanged for the sound of opening the window and opening the door, it turned out that when the two of them were talking, countless people were lying on the side of the window eavesdropping, and when such a lively gossip came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

"To be more specific, you didn't lie to us, did you?"

"That's right, it is said that the great master is an immortal once he passes, you look at the master of the Flowing Fire, that is a fairy-like character, it is said that he is five hundred years old..."

......

The whole street woke up under the shock of this gossip, and everyone suddenly came to life from the chaos of several days in a row.

That little official named Jiang Laosi is not to mention how proud he is now, he is also a crazy temper, and the more people there are, the more energetic he becomes.

"You leopards, you know the depths of this. My cousin is as beautiful as a flower, and she has a good cooking skill, even Suzaku-sama has praised her, can the news she gave me be fake? I'm not afraid to tell you that even Driftfire-sama has a good impression of my sister?"

Oh, this lace news is really refreshing, and at that time, people answered, "Fourth, do you still want to be the brother-in-law of Lord Liuhuo?" Haha, the Lord has been in power for ten years, and I have never heard of an adult taking a concubine..."

"That's right, Lord Liuhuo wants to take a concubine, and can you still pick your firewood girl? Besides, even if you take a concubine, it's just a concubine, and you can't be an adult's brother-in-law..."

"Haha..." The crowd laughed at that time, and the fourth child's face turned red.

"Fart, you fart... When did Lao Tzu say that I would let my sister be a concubine, I just said that adults like my sister, this is lifting, do you understand, this is an adult lifting our family..."

The old man turned his head angrily and left, too lazy to talk nonsense with this group of uninformed guys.

The big guy looked at the fourth child who was angry, although he felt funny, but what he said just now really made everyone's hearts settle down a lot. The fourth person is right, the expansion of the Black Iron Legion is such a big thing, and only the Flowing Fire Adults are qualified to order, and this year's pension has also been raised, and there is a big drama for the New Year, although these things can be said by Prime Minister Bai, but with the Prime Minister's temper, it is impossible for him not to ask the adults.

Oops, it seems that it was all rumors before, and we are so stupid, we have been depressed for so many days for a rumor, isn't there just no military parade. Maybe it's because it's flat, maybe it's because the snow is too big, how can we guess.

Thinking of this, the lieutenant surnamed Xie had a hot face, and he felt very ashamed of the wavering of his mentality during this time.

"Damn, don't chat, you see how lazy you are these days, the snow is not cleaned, I tell you that every house will be cleaned for me today, the snow on the street will be cleaned, and the snow on the roof will be shoveled..."

"Our Dawang City is going to be clean and clean for the New Year, when the time comes, Lord Liuhuo will go out of the customs and see the muddy water in a place, what's the matter?"

At the urging of Chief Sheri, the people didn't even eat breakfast, and they all came out to clean their own one-third of an acre of land, in fact, especially Xie Lichang worked hardest, as if he wanted to atone for his sins.

This is a very ordinary morning in the city of Dawang, the same scene has been repeated many times in different areas of the city, one by one new decrees and rumors that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, but I did not expect that in this morning, the atmosphere in Dawang City has actually changed, and it has returned to a bit of its former prosperity.

Daydreaming sat in his flower hall, eating breakfast, listening to the market news reported by his subordinates, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey... The people are so confused at this level, and now they are afraid of those who have a heart..."

Daydream's worries are justified, the grass people don't want to understand things, as long as you give them a little sweetness and a little hope, you can easily calm people's hearts. If you look at it, it has only been half a day, and Dawangcheng has settled down, and it is estimated that all the towns and villages in Peishui will be stable by night.

But there are two groups that are not easy to fool, one is the literati, and the other is the merchants. This is especially based on half two gold, this group of monkey spirit monkey spirit guys, can't fool at all, it is estimated that the top level of half two gold has already cleared the door, maybe they are meeting to study it.

The daydream analysis is right, in the headquarters of the Great King City, in a secret gold cellar, on the hill-like pile of gold coins, there are a few people squatting, looking at their calm eyes, it is estimated that the pile of gold coins under the buttocks is no different from the pile outside the city in their hearts.

Among these people is Pang Bucket, who is the agent of the Peishui business who puts half a tael of gold on the bright side. In addition, there is the old man Wangcai, the first old man to deal with the flowing fire, and he has aged a lot, after all, his age is not forgiving.

There are also four middle-aged people dressed as shopkeepers, but they seem to be a little lower than Pang Bucket.

"Old man, what are the instructions of the headquarters this time?" Pang Bucket cautiously smiled beside the old man Wangcai. And the old man, without speaking, took out a golden flask from his bosom and took a big sip.

"Good news, bad news, you want to hear that?"

"Huh?" Pang Bucket was stunned at the time, "Then you can talk about the bad news first." ”

"The bad news is that Liuhuo has had an accident, and now it is in a coma, and the rumors in Dawang City are true..."

Pang Bucket seemed to be a little mentally prepared, and he let out a long breath and asked, "What about the good news?"

The old man Wangcai looked at Pang Bucket meaningfully, and suddenly smiled and said, "The good news is, of course, the battle in Zhongzhou Mountain, the whole battle, our half-tael gold observation post did not fall at all, and the battle of the flowing fire can be said to be quite beautiful..."

"The strength of the Yu family has lost most of it, if it weren't for the old ancestor of the Yu family, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to touch this draw, after this battle, the status in the world of the awakened will be unbreakable..."

"Well, this news is exciting enough..."

Pang Bucket was a little confused, listening to the words of the old man Wangcai, Liuhuo was not a draw at all this time, in fact, it was a victory? But it was only a moment of effort, and Pang Bucket had already figured it out.

Outsiders only see the excitement of this war, and the people of Peishui see it just as a win or loser. But half a tael of gold looks at the trade-off of comprehensive strength.

Who are the people who make up the Drifting Fire Army? They are all ordinary people, nothing more than trained ordinary people, and what kind of soldiers are the Yu family and the Li family in their hands, they are all great swordsmen and awakened ones. To put it mildly, let alone a one-to-one battle loss ratio, even if Peishui exchanges ten lives for one life, Peishui will take advantage.

Besides, Peishui's current foundation is the clearest with half a tael of gold, and a lot of secret work is all handled by the half tael of gold, including the work of controlling the price of grain in Chu State, which is also taken by half a tael of gold.

How much energy the Flowing Fire can wield in the future war, the half two gold is actually clearer than the Flowing Fire itself.

In such a tragic battle in Xianrenling, it will take at least six or seven years for the Yu family and the Li family to recover, but there is no need for flowing fire, as long as he is given two years, his strength will rise by at least thirty percent.

Thinking of this, Pang Bucket suddenly sighed, "Lord Flowing Fire fought beautifully, but what happened to the Lord who fell into a coma? Now everything is based on Lord Flowing Fire, in case..."

Pang Bucket didn't dare to think about it, he couldn't imagine the scene after Peishui didn't have a fire. He knows that Peishui's social structure is very alternative in the entire Zhongzhou University 6, and this social structure has only been in operation for ten years, and the foundation is extremely fragile.

The old man Wangcai did not disturb Pang Barrel's contemplation, he just watched quietly, except for the sound of people's breathing, all that remained in the cellar was the rustle of gold coins under his feet.

"Is there any instruction from the headquarters?" After thinking for a long time, Pang Bucket finally spoke.

"Headquarters, hehe, what else can they do but wait and see, the only order is to tell you to shrink the money and make you tie the money bag tighter, including these under our feet..."

As soon as he heard this, Pang Bucket was anxious, "How can this be? The gold coins in these cellars are all deposited by Lord Liuhuo, in fact, there are many gold coins collected by bond banks, how can we seal them at will?"

At this time, Pang Bucket was a little excited, and said with a red face, "Lord Liuhuo hasn't had an accident yet, maybe it's just like what the outside world says, it's just a retreat and cultivation, how can we see adults after we do this?"

The old man Wangcai was also a little embarrassed, and he suddenly slapped his thigh, "You shut up for me." Don't forget, you are a half-tael person in life, and a half-tael ghost in death, in this matter, don't talk about you, even I can't help it. ”

"Hey..."Wangcai sighed and said, "I hope the flowing fire can survive the catastrophe safely, the adult is fine, then the sky is full of dark clouds, if the adult has an accident..."

Wangcai shook his head and couldn't say a word.
