A night of celebration, a night of carnival!
The victory of the war brought excitement to the people of Yangzhou City, which did not completely dissipate until dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight shined into the city from the east, the gate of Yangzhou City, which had been closed for many days, finally opened slowly as usual.
As the city gate opened, those Yangzhou people who had been waiting here for a long time, like a flood that had opened a floodgate, passed through the gate and poured out of the city.
In the turbulent flow of people, the young man who was beaten with a stick in front of Cui Jingzhi yesterday, the students in the college, Wang Chongan, Zhugan and others took the lead and ran at the front! As soon as he left the city, he ran towards the legendary battlefield with excitement on his face.
However, they only took the lead for a while before the fast horses caught up behind them.
Seeing several galloping horses passing by, several people hurriedly avoided, but the dust kicked up by the horses' hooves still covered their heads and faces.
"Ah, bah! You don't have eyes when riding a horse? Why don't you fall to death?"
Several young people of about the same age were spitting and frothing, jumping and cursing at the galloping horses that were getting away!
But while they were cursing, they suddenly remembered a problem: they were so excited this morning that they seemed to have forgotten that this trip was a full thirty miles, and the round trip was only sixty miles! Why didn't I think of riding a horse at such a long distance? No matter what happens, getting a donkey cart is better than breaking your leg while running, right?
"How about going back again?"
Subconsciously looking back, looking at the still turbulent flow of people at the city gate, several young people shuddered together and gave up the idea instantly.
If I squeeze back again and find the horse, I don’t know when I can squeeze out again.
Thinking of this, Wang Chongan pulled the bamboo pole and ran towards the crowd who had passed them in front: "Let's go, we finally got out, why go back? When we see a big car on the road, just ask someone to take a piece of it with us!"
Upon hearing this, several other people seemed to agree with this, so the melancholy they had just aroused was immediately thrown out of the sky, and they rushed north again with great interest.

Yangzhou City, Changli Mansion.
For this great victory in Yangzhou City, Xiaohou's petition for the victory of more than 10,000 enemies in one battle had been written by Cui Jingzhi overnight. Early in the morning, he sealed it with a fire seal, summoned the Red Feather Courier, and rushed it eight hundred miles away. Go to Chang'an.
Haosheng gave instructions to the messenger. After the knight got on his horse and the sound of horse hooves subsided, Cui Jingzhi yawned loudly and staggered back to the bedroom. Without taking off his clothes, he fell on the bed.
After so many days, I can finally let go of my worries and have a peaceful sleep! From now on, there will no longer be scenes of cities being destroyed and people being killed in his dreams!
"Yes... that's right... let people go to Xiao Hou's place to watch. If anything happens, come back and report immediately without delay..."
As soon as his head touched the pillow, Cui Jingzhi's eyes seemed to be cast by magic and he couldn't open them at all! Reluctantly relying on the last bit of clarity in his mind, Cui Jingzhi explained the matter about Xiao Han to his old wife beside him. Cui Jingzhi couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep, snoring loudly!
Cui Jingzhi in the official's residence was already sound asleep, but Wang Wu, who was just across the street from him, was not sleepy at all at this time!
Sitting in a room in the official post house, Wang Wu looked down at a small sign in his hand, frowned, and said uncertainly: "Are we an official now?"
Xiao Dao, who was sitting opposite him, was happily wiping the small plaque that belonged to him with the corner of his clothes. Hearing this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes and said disgustedly: "What are you thinking? We are not officers yet! We are officers and soldiers!" "
"Officers and soldiers also have the word "official" in them, isn't it more or less the same!"
Hearing Xiao Dao's words, Wang Wu finally seemed to wake up from a dream, kissed the cards in his hand, and then asked with a silly smile: "Oh, by the way, was the surname of the Armed Forces General last night Yang?" Shall we report to him in two days?"
"Nonsense! If you don't look for him, who can you look for?" Xiaodao had almost endured Wang Wu's idiotic questions. He curled his lips and said with hatred: "Yang Langjiang said it clearly last night: this time Most of Yangzhou City's defenses have been destroyed. To pursue the fleeing thieves, we will have to rely on heroes like us! Humph, if we make some merit in the future, I guess, then I'm telling you, it's an official, Instead of soldiers!"
"Oh..." When Wang Wu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed!
In fact, he was extremely satisfied to be able to join the Yangzhou Fubing!
You know, in the early Tang Dynasty, although anyone could join the army as a soldier, those who joined were auxiliary soldiers, not government soldiers like them!
Government soldiers, auxiliary soldiers!
Although there is only one word difference, in terms of status, they are as different as clouds and mud, let alone serving as a soldier in the prosperous and peaceful Yangzhou City! That is a good position that countless people have failed to grab!
Wang Wu closed his eyes and envisioned the scene of wearing armor and showing off his power on the street. Suddenly he remembered something and asked Xiaodao: "Huh? Why do you need to perform meritorious service to be promoted? Can't he just be our official? Can't we? Don’t you have enough merit?”
Hearing this, Xiaodao rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky. What does it mean that a person's heart is not enough and a snake swallows an elephant? This is a typical example!
"Hey, brother, although our contribution seems to be quite big, at that time, we were not from the imperial court! This contribution will not be recorded at all!" Xiao Dao explained to him earnestly.
Wang Wu still didn't believe it: "Really? But how come I heard that people all become high officials directly from the white body after making meritorious services?"
The knife was speechless, and then he said helplessly: "Ahem...Brother, don't listen to the stories told by storytellers in the future! From a white body to an official, that is a right that only a general or an emperor has. Our Yang General Lang is only a junior official of the seventh or eighth rank. If you tell him this, do you believe you can scare him to death?"
"Only a general has this power?"
Wang Wu blinked and suddenly thought of Xiao Han, and then his mouth opened wide!
yes! Isn't he just a great general? Moreover, he still owes him the reward that he has not yet given! It wouldn't be too much to tell him that he doesn't want rewards and asks him to raise his official position to a higher level!
Wang Wu wanted to be an official and was drooling. He seemed to have forgotten that Xiao Han's life and death were still unknown!
In other words, after seeing Xiao Han's magic, he never thought that something would happen to him!
How could such a powerful person die? With his weapons, even if a bull-headed horse-faced guy comes, he has to take a detour, right?
After experiencing everything before, Wang Wu's trust in Xiao Han now has reached a state of blindness!
He even believed that even if Xiao Han died and entered the hell of reincarnation, he could turn hell upside down like the monkey monkey and re-determine his life span in the book of life and death.
