Outside Haizhou City, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and there were still many people listening to the movement, and the whole ground began to shake faintly.

Many of the people in the city heard that the people outside the city were all working on their hands, and they all ran to the city gate and stood in a very orderly manner.

Not far in front of them, soldiers of all kinds of military services with no end in sight gathered urgently, and they looked amazing, so that many people in the city did not dare to approach.

The officials on the city tower, all with solemn faces, felt the momentum of the soldiers in front of them, these troops were none other than the Dongshan and Split Mountain armies under Su Qi'an and Xie Cang.

Looking at the fluttering of the military flag in front of the army, they knew that today was the day when the supervision envoy and the Marquis of Lingdong returned to Beijing to restore his life.

In the battle of Dongzhou, the Dongshan and Split Mountain armies contributed the most, and the casualties were more than half, and most of the recruits recruited in the reform of the army were selected by Dongshan and Split Mountain first.

The strength of the two armies of Dongshan and Split Mountain is obvious to all, and it is also their honor to be selected.

In just two months, looking at the disciplined and amazing army in front of them, everyone admired it in their hearts.

Being able to become an elite combat force under the supervision envoy and Lingdong Hou is really unusual.

With the assembly of the army, under Xie Cang's order, the assembled 20,000 troops marched out in a mighty way.

The whole ground was dusty and trampled by the horses' hooves, and at the same time, the hundreds of people gathered at the city gate shouted in unison.

"The people of Dongzhou, send off the supervision envoy and the Marquis of Lingdong, have a good journey, take care!"

"Dongzhou Great Grace, we will never forget, the supervision envoy, Lingdong Hou take care!"

The sound of the people's outburst resounded through the heavens and the earth, and it sounded very moving, and the 20,000 departing army echoed in their ears, all of them raised their weapons in their hands and shouted in response.

Then, I saw that both the people of the city gate and the officials of the city tower consciously knelt down and sent them off.

This is not only due to the status of both parties, but also from the bottom of their hearts.

In this battle of Dongzhou, if there was no command from Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, how could they have the long-lost peace, not only that, but internally, they attacked corrupt officials and families one after another.

The changes in the past two months are obvious to all, not to mention completely getting better, but before Su Qi'an came, it was completely different.

Su Qi'an is not only a supervisor for them, but also a Qingtian lord who presides over justice for them, if possible, they wish Su Qi'an could stay in Dongzhou all the time.

It's a pity that there is no banquet in the world, what they can do is to live well and live up to Su Qi'an's expectations.

The mighty army of 20,000 people, in the sound of congratulations echoing in the sky, was far away, until there was no trace of it, and some of them were just dusty in the sky.

Even so, the people and officials who gathered at the city gate and tower did not stay away for a long time, and watched like this.

At the same time, at the rear of Haizhou City, about a dozen miles away, a huge ship was docked on a military dock.

This ship is not a war ship, but it is not a civilian ship, the appearance is very unusual, in the bow and the position of the ship are actually carved with four dragon heads, the surface of the hull is painted with yellow paint, on the plywood, standing soldiers wearing silver armor, looking very majestic.

This ship is a royal ship, specially used to transport people from the royal family, and there are many people at the dock under this royal ship.

Looking at their clothes, you can know that they are real high-level figures, and their eyes are pulled in, and in the middle, the figures of Su Qi'an, Wu Dingguo, Fang Jingzhi, Chu Xiong, and Shen Wanfu all appeared.

If the people in the city saw this, they would definitely be quite shocked that so many big people appeared at once in this square inch of land.

It's not just shock, it's more doubtful, obviously outside the city, Lingdong Hou led an army of 20,000 people and left, although Su Qi'an didn't show up, but he must be among them.

However, the supervision envoy they had in mind appeared alone at the military dock more than ten miles away from Haizhou City.

It's no wonder that Su Qi'an arranged it like this, but in fact, this arrangement was made on Su Xuanyong's orders.

The imperial court would send a royal boat to escort Su Qi'an back to Beijing by water.

This is very simple, just for the sake of Su Qi'an's safety, returning to Beijing by water will save one-third of the time compared with the land route, and his whereabouts will be hidden.

It is a special royal waterway, and there are soldiers arranged by local officials to escort them along the way.

Although he has great insurance, he is not afraid of 10,000, but he is afraid of what happens, so while arranging for Su Qi'an to be escorted by water, on the land route, the 20,000 people led by Xie Cang will attract attention in front of everyone and leave in the light.

This trick is really effective, basically all the eyes of Shanghai Zhou City are attracted by Xie Cang, even if there are some shrewd people who can guess some, they can't imagine that Su Qi'an will be in this military dock.

Within a radius of more than ten miles, it has long been defended by the elite brought by Wu Dingguo, and anyone who wants to get close can't escape the eyes of the elite.

The caution of the imperial court and Wu Dingguo really surprised Su Qi'an, he knew his current importance to Da Liang, but there was no need to make such a noise.

Although he was a little unaccustomed, it was His Majesty's kindness after all, and Su Qi'an would not be stupid enough to refute at this time, so he agreed.

However, before leaving, Su Qi'an still had to meet with the high-level officials in Dongzhou, and handed over some of the government decrees drafted in his hands in the past few days to Wu Dingguo and Chu Xiong.

Su Qi'an didn't say anything, solemnly hugged his fists at the two, bowed and saluted, the second elder saw this and wanted to help, but was stopped by Su Qi'an.

"Old Chu, Governor Dadu, Dongzhou will ask the two, boy, thank you."

Su Qi'an didn't say much, but Chu Xiong and Wu Dingguo could feel that Su Qi'an was from the bottom of his heart, and he also knew the meaning of entrustment implied in his words.

The two nodded slightly and accepted Su Qi'an's bow.

Although Su Qi'an usually giggles and laughs, he is a little out of tune, but before he gets down to business, he is still very calm.

Su Qi'an got up and looked at the second elder with a solemn face, the world felt that Su Qi'an had the greatest credit in the battle of Dongzhou, and he was out of the limelight.

But only Su Qi'an himself knows that compared to the war, the management of Dongzhou after the war is the most difficult, if there is no Wu Dingguo and Chu Xiong to stabilize Dongzhou for him, he will rely on the king of Yue's eye, and Dongzhou after the war will not develop according to Su Qi'an's expectations.

With these two elders here, Dongzhou can't be chaotic, so Su Qi'an can leave with confidence.

His gaze left Chu Xiong and Wu Dingguo, and fell on Fang Jingzhi and Shen Wanfu.

The other party respects Su Qi'an without much entrustment, he is talented, but he has been suppressed for many years and has no opportunity to perform.

Now that he has become a state leader, with his strength, it won't be long before he will definitely become a qualified state minister.

As for Shen Wanfu, Su Qi'an didn't say much, but the eyes of the two of them revealed a tacit understanding.

Everyone thought that Shen Wanfu's submission was because Su Qi released Shenyang Yima, so as to control Shen Wanfu.

Even Zhou Zibin thought so until he died, but this was only part of the reason, they didn't know Shen Wanfu at all, and even Su Qi'an thought that he could control him by pinching his children before he made an appointment with him.

Su Qi'an always remembered what Shen Wanfu said on the night he summoned Shen Wanfu, "Even if the inspector executes all Shen's children, Shen will not compromise and be manipulated." ”

Based on this sentence, it is enough to see that Shen Wanfu is not only not weak, but very strong.

He is willing to cooperate with Su Qi'an, not only Shenyang is in his hands, but he values Su Qi'an more as a person.

He wants to invest in Su Qi'an, betting that Su Qi'an will be able to succeed in the future and have a greater return, this kind of return is not money, nor is it power.

It is an immortal reputation that has been passed down through the ages, this reputation is like his ancestors, who once saved the first emperor of Daliang and water and fire, and since then, even if the Shen family is a businessman, it is not something that any family can despise.

After so many years, with the gradual decline of Da Liang, although the Shen family is not short of silver, but its reputation is declining, and in his generation, even Jiang Kun, Wu Xian and others dare to climb on his head, and they are treated as grandsons.

Shen Wanfu has always had an ambition hidden in his heart, which is to revive the golden signboard of the ancestral No. 1 merchant Jia family.

Shen Wanfu's scheme, Su Qi'an can understand that in all dynasties, no matter how rich the businessmen are, they will always have no status in front of Shinong Industry and Commerce.

Unless he met an ancestor like the Shen family, he had that opportunity and was favored by the emperor back then, which created the status of the Shen family.

Don't look at the fact that the Shen family is famous in Dongzhou now, no one is scared, but in those days, among the many families in Daliang, the Shen family could also be the best.

Compared with the present, you can know the decline of the Shen family's status, and Su Qi'an also asked Shen Wanfu why he chose him.

Shen Wanfu's answer was very simple, "Judging from Shen's countless readers, the supervision envoy is not an ordinary person, and he is destined to have a strong stroke in the history of Da Liang." ”

This kind of god-like words, Su Qi'an naturally won't take it to heart, but Shen Wanfu sent him to the door for cooperation, and Su Qi'an couldn't ask for it.

Under this kind of cooperation, the entire Dongzhou, whether it is internal rectification or external war, Shen Wanfu's Shen family firm has made a great contribution.

To put it mildly, Shen Wanfu is Su Qi'an's silver treasury in Dongzhou.

This kindness, Su Qi'an remembered in his heart, and when his eyes met, he conveyed some new instructions, and Shen Wanfu nodded in understanding.

At this time, behind Su Qi'an, there was the urging voice of Han Qing, the commander of the forbidden army, Su Qi'an clenched his fists and bowed his hands to everyone, and then, under the eyes of everyone, got on the boat.

"Take care! Inspector, there will be a period later! ”

After a while, the boat slowly moved and gradually disappeared above the river.
