All armies stopped fighting and withdrew from Yuanyang City. They left behind a mess of rubble, devastation, corpses, wives, families, and displacements.

The remnants of the Balongwei army withdrew their troops from Shenma Town, Zixin City, and Kaicheng one after another, and the Balongwei avant-garde cavalry trapped between Jinniu Town and Yuanyang City also rushed back.

Xuan Zhongxian publicly recovered the Shenji Bow and Shenji Crossbow made of light iron at a high price, and Zhou Dongcang pushed the boat down the river and exchanged thousands of light iron bows and crossbows for a huge silver ticket of 200,000 taels.

Zhou Dongcang said secretly: If I hide the light iron bow and crossbow, it is not good for others and myself, it is better to exchange all of them for silver tickets. It takes a lot of money to restore the remnants.

The soldiers of the Yuanyang Wei and the city defense battalion were asked to go out of the city, one to collect scattered military materials, the second to register the list of the dead, and the third to burn and bury the "corpses all over the field".

Knowing that the "Pseudo-Black Snake Emperor" had summoned thousands of minions, Zhou Dongcang couldn't help laughing, these rabble gathered to save their lives because of the war, and now that the war is over, it will soon collapse. Zhou Dongcang believes that no one wants to be a bandit, except for those murderers who want to save their lives.

Statement from the Director's Office: The inspection departments of various localities advise the war refugees who are in exile to return to their hometowns and markets to carry out production to save themselves.

Due to the reluctance of the Shangdu Heavenly Cavalry to crusade against the "common people" of Wusheling, after the meeting resolution of the Yuanyang City Governor's Office, it was decided that all the heroes of Zhao'an Wusheling would be the acting inspection envoy of the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Division, Liu Donghui and Jia Ping would be the deputy inspection envoys, and Zhang Xiyu would be the leader of the soldiers.

On the morning of the tenth day of the withdrawal of the remnants of the Balong Guard, a meeting was being held in the meeting hall of the Yuanyang City Governor's Mansion.

Xuan Zhongxian, Zhou Dongcang, Jiang Hantian, Sun Tu, Hong Xian, Li Liang, Jiang Tao, Liang Fa, Huang Xinxing, Tu Wei and other owners attended the conference and took a seat on the rostrum, Jiang Hantian presided over the meeting, and Zhou Dongcang made a report entitled "Stick to Yuanyang City and Never Waver, Strive for the Future of Yuanyang City" to the conference.

There were 251 delegates who should attend the meeting, including Zhou Donghua, Mei Shuanglin, Mei Yicai, Mao Daochang, Wen Daochang, Yu Hui Daochang, and Li Xiao, a total of 258 people, and 136 people today. Many people died "in battle" and could not come, and many fled and did not return.

Wu Xiaoze and Li Xiao were inseparable from each other, and after the new guard battalion commander Huang Xinxing asked Zhou Dongcang, he thought that she had lost the wolf dog for the sake of Yuanyang City, and she was a person who had made great contributions to the "revolution", so he put her into the venue.

Li Xiao and Wu Xiaoze sat in the corner of the back row of the venue next to Mao and Wen.

"Li Xiao, you touch my face, is my face swollen?"

Li Xiao said softly: "No need to touch, no swelling." ”

Wu Xiaoze suddenly took Li Xiao's hand and put it on his cheek, "Why do I feel that my face is swollen?"

"Don't make a fuss, there are too many people. Li Xiao quickly shook his hand and pulled it back.

Wu Xiaoze grabbed Li Xiao's arm and said with a smile: "There are so many people, what are you afraid of? I won't let them touch me one by one." ”

Li Xiao was embarrassed.

Wu Xiaoze was a girl in the entire venue, and the eyes of the lustful man had no other choice but to scan Wu Xiaoze and slander Li Xiaoxue countless times.

Wu Xiaoze, who has youthful vitality, is still active, showing his "innocence", and seems to not know what shyness is.

The Yun sisters, green tea and black tea were really happy to "play mahjong" in the wing room of the principal's mansion and eat all kinds of military delicacies.

Xuan Sinuo was still sleeping, and the noise of "playing mahjong" could not affect her artistic conception of sleep at all.

Xiao Tie, Fang Qiushui, and Xin Escort were playing cards and "fighting the landlord" in another room, and they were full of interest.

The conference in the conference hall was long, boring, and unfocused, and many people who survived the catastrophe were tormented by the meeting.

How can you not doze off in a very boring meeting?

Li Xiao was "molested" and "harassed" by Wu Xiaoze.

Daochang Mao and Daochang Wen sat in the last row of the venue, and their voices were 18 decibels louder than the sound of reading the manuscript on the rostrum.

Sounds above 60 decibel can be called noise.

Many people were attracted by the dialogue between Mao and Wen, the two Taoist masters, and they were outside the realm. Zhou Dongcang was like a deaf man, still reading out the manuscript prepared for him by the clerical room in a low voice.

......

"Senior brother, why did you say that after the war, there was a plague?"

"When the remains were processed, the epidemic prevention work was not done well. Many corpses were thrown directly into rivers and even violent wilderness, where mosquitoes and flies spread diseases. Even if the body is buried in mass graves and mass graves, it will eventually contaminate the groundwater. ”

"Only burned?"

"Burning can prevent the plague from happening, but it pollutes the air. ”

What? Is there a plague? Are these two Taoist masters true or false?

......

"Senior brother, so many soldiers have died, and the pension needs to cost a lot. ”

"To fight a war is to fight money. ”

"I heard Guard Xin say that the reason for this great battle was that many leading officers wanted to get a big treasure. ”

"Big treasure, what if you get a big treasure after so many people die?"

If I can get a big treasure, my life will be greatly secured.

......

"Senior brother, the war is over. Will there be war?"

"This is just the beginning. As long as there is greed and plunder, there will be war. ”

"Is it also because of greed and predation that wars between different ant colonies?"

"I'm talking about people. ”

"Aren't we talking about war?"

"I'm talking about people. Mao Daochang said viciously.

"Senior brother, are you angry?"

"Nope. Mao Daochang said with a dark face rolling his eyes.

"Senior brother, do you want to fight? I'll fight ......."

Mao Daochang and Wen Daochang had a "war" because of a quarrel.

......

When the manuscript was read, Zhou Dongcang took a sip of water, and he heard the buzzing of the rostrum like cicadas, croaking like frogs, crowing like waterfalls, and coaxing like thunder, bustling, chaotic, and furious: "People sitting in the back, don't talk anymore, if you talk again, please maintain order staff, ask them to go out and talk." ”

The venue fell silent. On the rostrum, the sound of ups and downs, pauses and turns, resounded again.

Daochang Mao and Daochang Wen struck each other with a snap, but they didn't speak, and if they weren't allowed to speak, we would do it.

There were several guards walking around the venue to maintain order. One of the guards saw the two old men fighting and said in surprise, "Hey, why are you two sitting and fighting?"

Both Mao and Wen replied at the same time: "He owes a cigarette." ”

"Come on, pull them apart. Seven or eight Meishan guards rushed over. ......

The two Taoist chiefs, Mao and Wen, were invited out of the venue by the Meishan guards, and the "respectable" elderly people were neglected. I can't swallow this breath.

On the steps outside the venue, Daochang Wen said hatefully: "They are a group of neurotics, and it is really a waste of life to hold a meeting for so long. Senior brother, it's not fun here, let's go to Fang City for a while. ”

"Do you want to call Li Xiao?"

"Li Xiao, that kid is poorer than the two of us. Let's go find black tea, she has a lot of private money. ”

"Hey...... Great. ”

During the penultimate item of the conference, the clerk made a report on "current affairs and situation" according to the Daxuan Guotang Daily.

The report pointed out that seven days ago, Liu Boren, the deputy commander of the Balongwei Guard, withdrew from the city in embarrassment, and on the way back to the city, he was ambushed by the army of Ninglongwei and was surrounded; after being trapped for a day and a night, Liu Boren decided to surrender, and after killing seven middle-level military leaders with his own hands, he surrendered to Yan Baobao, the chief commander of Ningcheng and the commander of Ninglongwei.

After Yan Baobao occupied Bacheng, he concurrently served as the chief director of Bacheng and the commander of Balongwei, and Liu Boren served as the deputy director of Bacheng and the deputy commander of Balongwei. Yan Baobao put Liu Boren under house arrest.

The report stresses that eight days ago, Wang Jingcheng, the chief director of Haicheng, took advantage of the emptiness of Ningcheng's defense after Ninglongwei's expedition and sent a surprise attack force to attack the Ningcheng Firearms Manufacturing Bureau, successfully blowing up the Firearms Manufacturing Bureau and killing and wounding more than 200 craftsmen.

Yan Baobao, who returned to Ningcheng, led the sailors to attack, attacked Haicheng, defeated the army of Hailongwei, and surrendered the Donggang sailors. As the actual controller of the three one-word cities of Ningcheng, Bacheng and Haicheng, Yan Baobao held an army of 400,000 troops, and appointed himself as the chief of the three cities of Ningbajiang and the governor of the three dragons of Ningbajiang, and seized the eastern part of the Southern Regions.

According to the report, all humans are not allowed to cross the Taurus Town Fair south. According to a report from the "roadside association" passer-by B, nine days ago, all the Jiang Longwei soldiers who had retreated to the South Gate had disappeared overnight, and they had been attacked by unknown creatures, leaving not a single bone behind.

The Yuanyang City Governor's Office decided that before the Great Xuanguo Imperial Court could deal with it, any human who tried to cross the Jinniu Town Bazaar would first have to pay a huge sum of one hundred taels of silver for the purchase of personal insurance, another eighty taels of silver for the indefinite search for the remains, and a huge sum of fifty taels of silver for the purchase of the cemetery's tomb.

The report called on all the living people in Yuanyang City to prepare to die. On the second day after the conference, the Shangdu Heavenly Cavalry, Yuanyang Guard, the City Defense Battalion, and the Meishan Guard, under the leadership of the prince Xuan Zhongxian and the chief Zhou Dongcang, attacked Shuangyang City and defeated the 5,000 soldiers displayed on the border in Shuangyang City.

......

The meeting proceeded to the penultimate item and approved new personnel appointments: Jiang Hantian, the head of the bureaucracy, concurrently served as the acting chief officer of Yuanyang City; Sun Tu was appointed deputy chief of Yuanyang City and was removed from the post of acting commander of Yuanyangwei; Hong Xian was appointed acting commander of Yuanyangwei and was removed from the post of commander of the guard battalion; Jiang Tao was appointed director of the barracks and commander of the city defense battalion; Huang Xinxing, deputy commander of the guard battalion, succeeded him as commander of the guard battalion; and Tu Wei, deputy director of the workshop, took over the post of director of the guard battalion. The appointment of the deputy chief officer of each house and the official of 100 households or less will be drawn up by the head of the house and reported to the chief director Zhou Dongcang for approval of the appointment.

The penultimate item of the conference was held, and the newly appointed principal officials made statements. ...... Yuanyang City is my second hometown, and I feel a great responsibility. ......

...... I am half of Yuanyang City, and under the leadership of Director Zhou, I will enter the role as soon as possible, work hard, and be diligent and conscientious. ......

...... My ancestors are from Yuanyang City, and I have the same blood in my veins as everyone else. From today onwards, I have the opportunity to contribute to my hometown. ......

...... In the future, I will be a native of Yuanyang City, and I am grateful for the trust and care of the Principal's Office, the respect and love of the leaders, and the trust and support of my colleagues. ......

...... As a native of Yuanyang City, the first thing I would like to thank is the trust of the Principal's Mansion and the cultivation of Principal Zhou.

The last item of the conference was supplemented by Zhou Dongcang.
