Chapter 1005: Dragon Ape
"Newspaperβ"
Outside the prefect's yamen, a messenger came one after another, shouting words in their mouths, all of which were in the situation of the war.
This is also a practice of the imperial court, but if the military battle affects the ordinary people, or some cities, if the war is not going well, it will naturally not be publicized with great fanfare, but to conceal the news and not let ordinary people know, this is to prevent the people from being under pressure under adversity, and it is inevitable that there will be many changes in their minds, and if they are not careful, they will change their minds.
But if the war goes well, even if it is only a small victory, killing two or three people, it is also to be publicized, it is best to be known to the people along the way, but considering the body of the person who reported the news, most of them choose to call loudly after entering the city, when they are riding their horses and galloping, so that the people know, so as to strengthen the hearts of the people.
At present, this is the situation, there is an endless stream of people reporting the news in the prefect's yamen, and on the streets of the city outside the yamen, from time to time, there is a person galloping past on a fast horse, shouting many words in his mouth-
"Great victory! The Northern Route Army under the command of Master Qiu broke through the Yuezhou camp, killed 3,000 enemies, and captured 20,000!"
"Great victory! Master Qiu commanded the Southern Route Army, broke through Lingnan, and captured the head of the White Lotus thief alive!"
"Great victory! Master Qiu commanded the Northern Route Army and broke the coastal pirates!"
"The Southern Route Army under the command of Master Qiu broke the local counterattack in Jiaozhi and stabilized the camp!"
"Bachelor Qiu......"
Even ordinary people who have no experience in battle formations, as soon as they hear these two words, they first settle down, and then hear the three words "Master Qiu", they are even more relieved, knowing that they are all good things.
This is also after many things, the whole city has developed an almost blind trust in Qiu Yan. Raise it too high in the minds of the people, so that the person is different.
This kind of thing, even in Qiu Yan's previous life, is not uncommon, all the people in the world are flesh and blood, that is, in the glamorous people, their thoughts are actually limited to reality, but the background and status are different, when doing some things, there can be less worries and constraints. That's what makes the difference.
However, these concepts are not universal in the current world, because in this world, there is indeed a transcendent power, and many people can do incredible things.
When people hear it for the first time, they may be shocked, but once they hear it too much. If you tacit in your heart that the person is beyond ordinary people, you will no longer be surprised, but it will be like a reassuring pill, and you will not doubt the truth of the matter.
Don't speak of the people of this city. Even bureaucrats, generals, gentry, and businessmen of different statuses can only sigh when they hear it at this time.
"The Yuezhou camp has been breached? Is this true or false?"
Standing in the lobby of the mansion, Cui Sujing couldn't help but gasp when he heard this. After he was slowly valued by the Cui family, he gradually came into contact with a lot of information, and he was also clear about the war situation in the entire south. Especially combined with the way of knowledge and action, sometimes he still puts forward good opinions, which makes the Cui family more and more impressed with him.
"It shouldn't be fake, our Cui family is doing business everywhere, and we also have our own set of news networks, although it is not strict enough, but because of this, it has not entered the eyes of the White Lotus Sect and has been preserved. β
In front of Cui Sujing, his third uncle sat on a chair, and when he heard the chatter, he responded in a low voice.
Right now, this hall is full of people, all of them have extraordinary bearing, this shrewd and capable Cui Sanye, who was originally outstanding in the Cui family, was put into this group of people, and he didn't show too much extraordinary bearing.
This can also be seen from the location, Cui Sujing's location is located in the middle of the lobby, and further ahead, there are no less than ten people sitting, these people are not only extraordinary, but also graceful.
Needless to say, it can be learned that in front of Cui Sujing are all figures with official and military positions, and these people are not just a bureaucrat in Tingzhou City, but a powerful official in the entire Fujian, half of Lingnan, and even a small part of Jiangnan.
If it weren't for the fact that all these people were here, how could the endless stream of people outside the city come over one after another and spread the news to the city of Tingzhou?
For example, Hu Bin, who is sitting in the first place, is not a simple person, although he was removed by the emperor, but the title is still there, in terms of status, even in the court, he can also stand in the forefront, not to mention this place?
Comparatively speaking, he Cui Sanye can sit in this position, which is already considered an exception, in a place further out of his position, in fact, there are many officials and generals, he is a gentry with no power and no position, he can sit here without being picked on by others, the key is one point-
Qiu Yan is currently living in Cui's house.
Cui Sanye knows this, so he is also very concerned about these battle reports.
Cui Sujing was also in general thought, so after listening to the battle report, he couldn't help but ask vigorously: "However, even if the Yuezhou is defeated, but the Northern Route Army does not have many men and horses after all, how can it divide many manpower to push all the coastal pirates into the sea?
"I don't know, it's impossible for our business house news to cover even the small counties along the coast," Cui Sanye shook his head, and then smiled slightly, "However, thinking that these 5,000 soldiers are divided into two roads, it is already the limit of the division of troops, and if such a group of people and horses are scattered, the gains outweigh the losses, and that army does not have Master Qiu by his side, how can it have such courage?"
"Third uncle, do you mean to say that it is actually not Master Qiu's soldiers and horses, but the coastal county town, which has the name of Master Qiu?"
When Cui Sanye spoke, he was also observing Cui Sujing, and when he saw the change in his expression, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "This way of knowing and doing is really amazing, how long have you been learning, and when you say such a thing, you have already drawn inferences." β
Cui Sujing immediately said humbly: "Where, the third uncle misunderstood, and the nephew remembered the battle report of Jiaozhi again, saying that the Southern Route Army under Master Qiu had even put down the rebellion in Annan Province, which was too strange." β
Cui Sanye smiled when he heard this, and said, "Go on." β
Cui Sujing paused, noticed the eyes of several people around him, and also focused, a little nervous, but then remembered that Qiu Yan mentioned a few allusions when he was lecturing, and the idea was firm again, so he continued: "The North Road and the South Road refer to the five thousand soldiers and horses led by Master Qiu, which were divided into two roads after the battle of Hongzhou, and the South Road was personally led by the Bachelor, and went south down the river to recover Tingzhou, and today he captured the White Lotus Sect Master with strange soldiers. β
Speaking of the White Lotus Sect Master, Cui Sujing was worried, he was actually half-convinced of this information, but after saying it, seeing that the people around him did not refute it, he calmed down a little, and continued: "This strange soldier went west, captured the thief leader overnight, it was an accident, and then returned with the White Lotus thief, the news is conclusive, where is there still time to run to the land of Jiaozhi? So this news must be false, but everything will not come out of nowhere......
At this time, a few more people's eyes came over, even Hu Bin and others in the innermost part also paid attention, but being watched by everyone, Cui Sujing silently recited the essence of knowledge and action, and he didn't feel nervous, but the words became more and more fluent-
"My nephew thought about it, a few days ago, there was this coastal county, saw Haikou coming, in the name of Master Qiu, declared that the thief was scared away, and now Master Qiu is showing his might, it is estimated that there will be a lot of imitators, five thousand soldiers and horses, it is impossible to one east and one west, thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles in a flash, attacking the city and pulling out the village, but the reputation can be spread quickly with the mouth of others, and whether it is my Darui people, or the rebellious thief, will know that the people rely on it, the thief will be afraid, and it is not impossible to retreat from the thief by reputation. β
"Whose kid are you, although you take it for granted, but you also have insight, much better than my kid. β
At this time, a strong man not far away spoke.
When Cui Sanye heard this, he quickly got up, pulled Cui Sujing over to salute, and said: "Qiyu Zeng Jie is an envoy, this is a nephew, his words are not true, please don't pursue it." β
The man shook his head and said, "What is there to pursue? You said it was your nephew, could it be that Cui Sheng who was valued by Master Qiu, no wonder, this is a talent, your Cui family is blessed." β
"The festival makes the fallacy praised. Cui Sanye said humble words on his lips, but his face bloomed with a smile.
Later, Cui Sujing, who was accompanying the salute, also heard that this one was the mighty envoy and the father of the mighty son.
The atmosphere in this hall was much more relaxed, they gathered here, in fact, they were waiting for Qiu Yan to give an order, and then went out of the city, watching the embarrassment of the thief being caught, and striving to leave a name in history, so they talked on the surface, but in fact, they couldn't sit still, always paying attention to the news outside the mansion.
But just as the atmosphere in this class became more and more relaxed, suddenly!
Bang!
There was an explosion in the city, and the ground rose and fell, and the people in the hall felt their bodies shake, as if they were standing on the deck.
"What's going on?"
Hu Bin and the others reacted immediately and immediately asked.
"Dragons! There's a dragon over there!"
Outside the hall, a series of exclamations suddenly came out.
Everyone in this hall followed the sound, and their eyes passed through the corridor of the lobby, and when they saw it, it was a divine dragon that soared into the sky!
The dragon groaned, and the ape sounded again and again!
On the top of the dragon's head, there is still a giant ape, a dragon and an ape, surrounded by a shining bead......!
