August 18th, Song Dynasty, Lin'an City.
Zhao Ding and Liu Ziyu were discussing the matter of transporting grain from Chenzhou, but the door of the palace office was kicked open.
Yes, it was a kick.
I didn't know who had the courage to go to Zhongshu Province to act wildly.
But after seeing the face of the visitor clearly, Zhao Ding felt relieved.
He just smiled and said: "Where does Zong Zheng get such anger? Who else in this world dares to offend you?"
Zhao Shi raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Zhao is joking!"
"With such a vacuous job, I can't compare to the two of you...otherwise, people wouldn't have deceived me as if I were a fool!"
Zhao Ding and Liu Ziyu looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
Prime Minister Zhao stroked his beard and said, "Zong Zheng, sit down for a moment and drink some tea first."
"Zhao Ding!" Zhao Shi couldn't bear it anymore, "Didn't you say that the official family went to Mingzhou for fun?"
"Why, why..."
The head of the Zhao family slapped a piece of paper on their desk:
"See for yourself!"
Zhao Ding picked it up and saw that what was written on it was nothing else but lines from a storybook.
Emperor Zhao, who had the body of a real dragon, stood alone with his sword in hand and cursed at the foot of Shouzhou City: "Now that you have seen the Emperor, why don't you worship him?" ''
’ The Shouzhou magistrate was immediately yelled at and lost two of his three souls, and six of his seven souls. '
'I saw the emperor pointing his sword towards the sky, and suddenly there was a storm, lightning and thunder; everyone saw millions of heavenly soldiers standing in the clouds and mist... Could it be that the golden people were the first to kneel down and beg for mercy? If they dared to be slow in their movements, they were immediately struck by lightning. No life...'
Zhao Ding couldn't help coughing twice... How come the imagination of these people is so rich.
I never thought that their information was so well-informed, and not long after I received the news, even this kind of book came out.
Seeing Zhao Shi's arrogant look, he persuaded:
"Why is Zongzheng angry? By killing thieves on the front lines, the officials earn the country of the Song Dynasty. Now that the good news has come, you should be happy."
"So happy!"
Zhao Shi also really looked at the food served. In the past, when Qin Hui was the prime minister, he knew that the man was petty, so he always flattered him.
Now that Zhao Ding is here, he has even put on the record of being the head of the Zhao family.
"I would like to ask you this, if... if something happens to the official family, whose fault should it be and who will bear the responsibility?!"
Knowing that the emperor was deeply jealous of the clan, Zhao Shinai was a great contributor to King Conglong and King Qin back then. Although he was granted the title of Prince of Qi'an, he rarely used his status as Prince of Qi'an in front of others.
Speaking like this today has made him very angry.
Knowing what he was thinking, they were even more anxious than Zhao Shi when they first learned about the emperor's intentions a month ago.
Liu Ziyu finally said: "Of course we know Zongzheng's sincere heart."
"But who among us can stop what the officials have decided?"
"If you can't stop it, don't stop it?! It took a lot of effort for the Song Dynasty to become what it is today. If, if it gets chaotic again, you will be the biggest disaster!"
"The son of Zhao Zichen (cheng), the prime minister of Xiushui County, is currently in the palace."
"Zhao..."
Zhao Shi's voice finally dropped, and he pondered for a long time.
Finally, like a compromise, he handed over his hands and said:
"Since the official family has already made arrangements, then I am worried too much."
Even though he said this, he didn't feel at all relaxed.
It was even more sinking than knowing that the emperor had gone to the front line.
Zhao Zicheng, the fourth son of Emperor Taizu and the successor of Zhao Defang, known among the people as the "Eight Wise Kings", is a contemporary of the current emperor.
As mentioned before, except for the surname, the Taizu lineage is almost the same as common people.
Zhao Zicheng was able to become the Prime Minister of Xiushui County, which was considered a very capable person in the lineage of Taizu.
But no matter how capable he is, he is still a member of Taizu's lineage.
These literati have been calling "return to the throne of Taizu" for almost a hundred years. If something really happened to the official family...
Although he accepted the matter, Zhao Shi did not leave just like that.
He is now the same as many ministers in the court, the people of Lin'an, and the people of the world.
Somewhat excited, yet confused.
It’s not like we agreed not to fight, but why did they start fighting again in just two or three months?
Moreover, it was this side that took the initiative;
Moreover, it is the current emperor who takes the lead!
No matter what, he must find out clearly what Da Song is doing now!
Countless questions were thrown out, and Zhao and Liu just laughed.
Just when he was about to curse, Zhao Ding took out several pieces of paper and came over:
"This is an emergency military report from three days ago. Zong Zheng will know it after reading it."
Zhao Shi hurriedly took it and read it one by one.
The more I looked at it, the more surprised I became.
Zhang Jun of the Right Han Army urgently reported that your Majesty personally led our generals to capture Shouzhou on August 15th. In this battle, a total of 1,200 thieves were killed and more than 3,000 bandits were captured. Your Majesty was unparalleled in bravery and went to the battle to kill the enemy in person. Behead one thousand levels. '
"this……"
Zhao Dazong was a little confused. He recognized the words "your majesty", "personally lead" and "go into battle to kill the enemy".
But when I look at it together, I can't understand it.
"Beheading level 1,000?"
Seeing that the two people did not answer him... Zhao Shi was not a child, and he knew that taking advantage of others' merit was common in the army.
Is the reported number too exaggerated?
Look further down:
'The Right Han Army Han Shizhong's Division took over Huaiyin, Lianshui and Muyang on August 15th, and planned to advance to Haizhou on August 20th. '
'The right Han army in the middle of Yang Yi marched into Sizhou on August 15th. It has now surrounded Sizhou and will surely break the city within ten days. '
"The Zhao Mi Department of the Right Han Army took down the Lingbi on August 15th. The thieves from Suzhou are coming here to support us. We will resist the enemy here." '
…
Lianghuai... are all moving?
The Song Dynasty's third front line and the right line came out in full force, thinking that Hanzhong and Jingxiang were too far from Lin'an, and even if there was any movement, it would not come so quickly.
So, can it be understood that the emperor is serious this time?
Zhao Shi felt that he had become a little stupid. The emperor had gone there in person, so it was still fake.
It was only a few days ago that the peace treaty was signed, and within a few months, the emperor had already broken the covenant...
This change is really hard to accept quickly.
It was not only Zhao Shi who found it difficult to accept.
When the news reached Xinyang, Liu Qi had just returned from Guangzhou to collect grain.
The official sent him here this time to relieve Yue Fei's worries.
Moreover, he can also help to give the situation to Lieutenant Zhang next to him. If something happens to him, he can also help here.
But he never expected that the emperor would go to Shouchun himself and lead his troops to capture Shouzhou.
Of course, just listen to the words "Beheading a Thousand Levels of Pigs". The official is not Xiang Yu... Even Xiang Yu would be exhausted if he beheaded a thousand pigs.
When the military information about Han Shizhong and the others came, Uncle Liu Xin, who had always been calm, could not sit still.
It's not that he was trying to win credit or anything, but that when he left Lin'an before, he issued a military order to send troops before the autumn harvest.
Now everyone in Lianghuai is taking action. If he doesn’t take some action...
The Jin people are not fools, and the commotion caused by the officials must have been so loud that they must have been alarmed.
The advantage gained by betraying the alliance will soon be gone.
He followed the plan and tapped his finger on the map.
That's where Caizhou is.
The importance of this place is that it is an important barrier in front of Kaifeng Mansion.
From here, you can point to Xuzhou in the distance. After passing Xuzhou, Kaifeng will be right in front of you.
But when his eyes reached Yingzhou, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
He owed so much there.
…
Yue Fei didn't receive news from the east until August 25th.
During the last Northern Expedition, his 100,000 men had to take care of multiple forces. Later on, he had to divide his troops and go to Yancheng, which is the direction where Liu Qi is now.
But now, his burden is much lighter.
The two states of Tang and Deng to the north of the Huaihe River are at the horns of each other, and Nanyang is a small town. Except for Ruzhou, although he is still far away from Feng, it is indeed much closer.
This news shocked everyone in the army, and everyone was very excited.
After all, they have always been the first in matters like the Northern Expedition. Now that they are lagging behind, they are naturally a little unwilling.
The generals were sitting around, Niu Gao said noisily:
"The officials are already in action, what are we waiting for?"
"Marshal Han took the three places first. He has taken the lead this time. If it were slower, everyone would have arrived at Kaifeng Mansion. Our Yue Family Army..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was stared at by Yue Fei.
Niu Gao knew he had said the wrong thing, so he slapped himself twice:
"I don't have a memory, what about the Yue Family Army! We are the Han Army, we are the Han Army."
Wang Gui was unyielding again: "I agreed to the twenty army sticks, but this fat guy can't remember it. The army sticks always remember, and I will go and collect my punishment later!"
"Monkey King knows how to harm me. You made a mistake last time. Why didn't you get beaten?"
"Last time was last time, this time is this time!"
"you……"
The two of them are used to quarreling, and as long as it's not too much, Yue Fei usually doesn't care.
But today...he suddenly shed tears.
Marshal Yue had always been in a low-interest attitude since he received the military information, and now he made this gesture again.
Except when Tang Huai and Yang Zaixing died last year, everyone had never seen him like this before.
No one dared to speak rashly, but Yue Yun whispered:
"Father……"
It was okay if he didn't scream, but when he screamed, he even leaned over the case.
Niu Gao glared at Wang Gui: It's all your kid, making people cry with anger!
Wang Gui also glanced back: It was obviously you who said the wrong thing, which made the marshal cry with anger!
Zhang Xian looked at Xue Bi with some suspicion. Could it be that the marshal acted like this because he was lagging behind the Lianghuai generals?
Although neither of them said anything, they had known each other for many years and could understand each other's thoughts with just one look.
Xue Bi shook his head slightly. Yue Shaobao wished that someone would go north before him, and that everyone in the world would go north. In this case, even if he was the last one, he would be happy in his heart.
Since it's not the case, you can't be so happy that you cry, right?
This, this is not in line with Yue Shaobao's temperament!
Finally, after about a cup of tea, Yue Fei recovered.
His eyes were still slightly red, and he looked at everyone and said:
"We will fight to the death in the Northern Expedition so that we can live up to our official status."
Niu Gao had known him since childhood, and he didn't have much scruple in what he said. He just replied:
"What do you mean by Marshal's words? Isn't that what we have been doing!"
Yue Fei had already slowed down and said:
"In the past during the Northern Expedition, we were like a man with a broken arm, with more than enough ambition but not enough strength."
"But today, His Majesty is using the whole country to help us fight against the Jin Dynasty. All the state governments along the way are helping us, and all the income taken by each place is taken by ourselves... We are the rice saved from the mouths of the people, and the official bowls The rice scooped out from the inside filled the bellies of these 100,000 people."
"In this case, we should not regret it even if we are already dead, but, but..."
What Yue Fei said is the truth. The Huguang Transportation Department has never been so cooperative as it is now. They ask for money and food, and even the finance and taxation of Jingxiang land are no longer passed through the hands of others and are sent directly to this place. In the hands of the Han army in the middle.
Except for Wu Lin in Shu who was too far away to have such great authority, not even Guo Yaoshi, who almost broke the earth and became king in the past, had not reached this level.
Yue Fei, as well as the generals in this army, are undoubtedly the most well-paid military attachés in the 180 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
When he got to the point where he was excited, he stopped talking again, making everyone anxious.
Or Xue Bi... I don't blame him for being a consultant, his brain reaction is faster.
The little old man immediately ran to the map and looked at it for a while before he understood why Yue Fei was so excited.
Shouzhou is indeed less conspicuous than the state capital planned by the Han army in the middle.
It can even be said that the Jin people would not feel the slightest bit sad if they abandoned this place.
However, it happened that the emperor went.
Not only did he go, he also went into battle to kill the enemy himself.
Regardless of whether this news is true or false, according to Wanyan Wushu and the temperament of those arrogant Jin people,
Shouzhou will be the place pointed by thousands of people.
In other words, wherever the emperor is, that's where the Jin people will press their troops.
In the war between Song and Jin Dynasties, the Central Plains has always been the main battlefield. Now that there are changes, the pressure on the east will be much greater.
On the contrary, Yue Fei's shoulders of the Han army in the middle will be much easier.
This is what makes Yue Fei so excited.
However, Xue Bi had to praise his own marshal. Others were just excited when they heard this, but he was the only one who could see what would happen in the future at a glance.
After this military advisor explained the reason for Yue Fei, everyone fell silent.
Who is that person? That is the emperor who is above ten thousand people!
Now he is in danger alone, just to share the worries of rough people like himself...
I don’t know in which life I got this blessing, or which Bodhisattva opened my eyes.
He doesn't have to go, Lin'an City has its own romance, wine and beauties.
But he went there anyway, to the days of walking long distances, eating the wind and drinking the dew.
This is our emperor.
The relationship is not complicated, just thinking about it... not long after, everyone burst into tears.
These men who kill like crazy, who bleed without shedding tears, are really moved by their true feelings.
Especially Niu Gao, holding his pair of golden maces, kept sobbing.
I didn’t know, I thought it was his son.
"Snapped!"
A startling sound brought everyone back to their senses.
I saw that Yue Fei had returned to his former appearance. His eyes were firm and firm, and he slapped the case with his hand:
"The king of Niugao is noble!"
The two people whose names were called did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly straightened up and said:
"The general is here!"
"You two will lead Dengzhou's troops and we must capture Nanyang before nine months!"
"Here!"
The two of them were very excited. After half a year of rest, their bodies had long wanted to move.
"Zhang Xianyueyun!"
"The general is here!"
"Each Xiangyang garrison will be led by 10,000 troops, and we will capture Queshan before the fifth day of September!"
Queshan is going to the east, which is the only way for Liu Qi to march into Caizhou.
Although I have some opinions in my heart, as long as I can fight, I don’t care about much else.
The two of them quickly responded.
"The rest of the generals..."
Yue Fei looked at everyone: "Come with me to Ruzhou!"
Ruzhou is only four hundred miles away from Kaifeng... Yue Fei, uncharacteristically, made a long drive.
But everyone didn't have the slightest objection and agreed very loudly.
…
Fengzhou, Dashanguan.
This place is the only fortress from Guanzhong to Bashu and the throat of Hanzhong and Shuzhong to enter Guan.
It is said that Qinchuan is eight hundred miles away. Throughout the ages, countless people have lost their lives here.
This is the place where Laozi traveled to the west and taught Yin Xi the Tao Te Ching;
Emperor Taizu Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty also entered the pass and conquered the world from here;
Later, Zhuge Wuhou passed by here several times... but in the end he never saw Chang'an;
Later, the two brothers Wu Lin of Wu Jie, after Zhang Jun was defeated by Wanyan Loushi, defeated more with less here, and finally did not let the Jin people enter the pass.
A man less than forty years old was standing on the pass, looking into the distance.
Since yesterday, scouts have come to report that the Jin people in the opposite camp seem to have made some moves.
While building wooden pagodas, they continued to receive military supplies sent from Fengxiang Mansion.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like he's about to take action.
Wu Lin just looked at it, but his mind was not on the golden man opposite.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he could always feel the sound of horses, drums, and fighting below.
He and his brother had less than 10,000 people, but they blocked Wanyan Wushu's 100,000 people. He even shot the crown prince of Jin with an arrow.
It's a pity that I couldn't take that man's life.
The Jin came again last year, when his brother had just died of illness, and he was angry that the emperor had forgotten the blood feud and formed a good relationship with the Jin.
Fortunately, the Jin broke the alliance and gave him the opportunity to send troops.
Otherwise, Shang and Qin states would still be in the hands of the Jin people.
Last year, when the emperor asked to withdraw his troops, he almost couldn't hold it back and wanted to kill the eunuch who came to announce the decree.
Anyway, the difference between him now and self-proclaimed king is only a name and whether he is willing or not.
But he still didn't do that, and he knew he wouldn't do that.
His great-grandfather, grandfather, and elder brother were all generals of the Song Dynasty. Although he was not well-known in the Western Army, he could not forget the instructions he received since childhood and his elder brother's instructions.
I can't forget that I am a Song Dynasty minister and a Han Chinese.
But...the emperor didn't want to fight.
Sighing slightly, Wu Lin took back her thoughts when she saw a few people running in the distance.
In this way, all the sounds below seemed to disappear.
The one who came in the lead was his subordinate Li Shiyan, and the one who followed...looked at his attire, he was undoubtedly an eunuch.
Counting the time, Lin'an should have come to a conclusion.
And now, it is time to let yourself accept the result...
Wu Lin's face was as frosty as ice, and the mountain wind blew his beard flying around, but he didn't care at all.
When several people came closer, Li Shiyan whispered:
"Come from Lin'an."
Nodding slightly, Wu Lin didn't answer, but just stared at the man blankly, making him feel panicked.
This eunuch had dealt with warriors a lot, so he was able to hold up the situation and said with a smile:
"Marshal, don't be annoyed, I'm here to bring you good news."
good news?
Wu Lin felt disdainful in her heart. If she could continue to resist the gold, that would be great news.
Anything else...hum!
Seeing that this man was ignorant of praise, the eunuch paused and said:
"The officials were grateful for Wu An Gong's achievements and decided to posthumously title him King of Fu."
These words made Li Shiyan on the side couldn't help but feel a little moved... To achieve this, Wu Jie really has no regrets.
I also thought of this man's contribution in controlling Sichuan and resisting the enemy... He Wu Jie can bear it.
Wu Lin nodded slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor is willing to spend time on these unimportant things, which can only mean one thing.
He was comforting himself.
Then why did he come to comfort himself?
Because he felt guilty.
Why do I feel guilty? Naturally... I reconciled.
Compared with this insignificant concern, Wu Lin did not value this. He knew that if Wu Jie was here, he would not value this either.
The eunuch was a little speechless. How could this man be so insecure?
Thinking that after all, I am here on behalf of the emperor, why do you, a thief of the army, stand up to us? !
He didn’t have a good attitude either, so he said sharply:
"Besides, Your Majesty has something else to give to the Marshal."
With that said, he handed over the box directly.
Wu Lin took it and placed it directly on the city wall aside.
He was waiting for this man to get down to business.
But the eunuch was waiting for him to thank him.
The two stared at each other for a long time, and finally the eunuch lost his patience:
"Marshal, why don't you open it and take a look?"
"Does the official family have any other wishes?"
"Gone."
"Gone?"
Wu Lin felt strange in her heart. Seeing that the man's eyes kept falling on the wooden box, she opened the lid.
A stench came, and Wu Lin almost felt nauseated even after seeing too many corpses.
This box has two layers, and there are several letters on the upper layer. The smell... naturally comes from the lower layer.
Fortunately, the mountain wind was strong enough to dissipate the smell. Wu Lin endured the discomfort and gently opened the upper layer.
A rotten head appeared in front of him.
The box was full of smelly water. The head was soaked in it and half of it was completely rotten. You couldn't tell who it was!
"This is……"
The eunuch laughed in his heart. He has been tortured by this thing for more than two months, and now it is finally in your hands!
He smiled and said: "Here, it's Qin Hui."
Wu Lin and the surrounding generals were shocked and couldn't believe it:
"who?!"
"Qin Hui! Doesn't the marshal not even recognize the former prime minister?"
As he spoke, the wind stopped, and the eunuch covered his mouth and nose: "All the generals only got a piece of meat, but you only got his head. This shows how much the officials attach importance to the marshal."
Wu Lin had no other thoughts and quickly opened the letter... The letter seemed to weigh ten thousand pounds, and his hands holding the letter could not stop shaking.
After reading the first letter, he suddenly knelt down towards the east.
Everyone didn't know what he meant, but when they saw the coach kneeling, several generals also knelt down.
"Your Majesty Wu Lin... thank you! My emperor... long live."
This is right!
Seeing this changed attitude, the eunuch felt relieved for the emperor.
…
Ever since he saw the emperor with his own eyes that day, Ji Wu had only been domineering on the street of Sibei Tower.
Now, he has become domineering throughout Lin'an City.
Those who used to call him Brother Ji Wu now have to call him Master Ji Wu. If he says the wrong thing, he will have to punch him several times.
Moreover, he couldn't walk properly. He had to walk in a serpentine line, from left to right and from right to left. If anyone dared to block his way, he would be insulted at best and beaten at worst.
For such a scoundrel, everyone didn't know his true identity and thought he was a yamen member of some high-ranking official's family. Otherwise, how could he dare to be so presumptuous at the foot of the imperial city?
Only those who know the details will tell everyone:
"This family seems to have a big feud with Qin Hui. That day Qin Hui was mutilated, the three members of the family were so excited that they went crazy. They talked about being relatives of the emperor all day long, and even called Zhao Guan's brother-in-law!"
"Don't talk nonsense to others. Alas...they are all poor people. We are neighbors, so we should be more considerate to each other."
Sibeilou's business has not been affected. After all, the prices here are fair and everyone is used to coming here for entertainment.
Only when they saw Lao Wangtou and his son and Ji Wu could they help but shake their heads and sigh.
As for Lao Wangtou, he had no idea what others were saying about him.
I only know that everyone respects him more and more, and they either stay away from him or say hello from a distance when they see him.
If he went out to buy groceries in person, he would have to give him a small change!
So, it's not because he valued his status as the father-in-law that he was so respectful and afraid, so what!
As for Ji Wu and Wang Xiaoer's idea of wanting to take a look at the imperial city, he stopped them immediately.
"Two cowards! You can enter the palace just by entering?!"
"The royal family has its own royal rules. When the time comes, His Majesty the Emperor will naturally come to us!"
"You two, don't just think about eating swan farts, or you will embarrass your sister and my girl!"
Ji Wu corrected him: "Godfather, when His Majesty is looking for us, we can't just say he's looking for us, but we need to summon him. He's summoned."
Lao Wang spat in the first breath: "I don't understand it yet like you!"
All the unreasonable things made sense after knowing the identity of his son-in-law.
What about returning home, what about not being afraid of Qin Hui, what about this and that, these are all royal etiquette!
I just didn't expect that one day my daughter would fly up a branch and become a phoenix... Old Wangtou always felt that he had met some Taoist monks before, so he told himself that "your eldest sister" has the appearance of wealth. kind of words.
The more he thought about it, the more he took it seriously.
Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed.
Last time in the fried cypress food competition, he Sibeilou fell behind.
This time when I made mooncakes, I couldn't compare to other big restaurants.
Lao Wang had a headache and learned from the experience, so he finally invited the chef from Jiankang Mansion. He had put up a sign to go out a few days ago, but now that it was time for dinner, there was not much business.
To say there is no business is an exaggeration. There is simply no one.
It wasn't just his shop that was deserted, the entire street and the entire population of Lin'an seemed to have disappeared.
What happened again?
Could it be that the new prime minister was also beheaded and everyone went to watch the fun?
I haven't heard of such a thing. Besides, there is Dali Temple next to it. If the prime minister is to be beheaded, is it possible that he can be beheaded somewhere else?
He called Ji Wu and Wang Xiaoer to inquire about the news. After a while, Ji Wu came back and said:
"Daddy, I've gone to see it. Not just here, but everywhere and on all the streets. There's no one there anymore!"
Haunted?
The two waited for a long time. When noon passed, Wang Xiaoer ran back slowly.
"How's it going?"
Wang Xiaoer drank three bowls of water in a row and then said:
"Fight, let's fight!"
"What started the fight?"
"We, the Song Dynasty, are at war with the Kingdom of Jin!"
Lao Wangtou and Ji Wu stood up at the same time:
"Don't talk nonsense! How long did it take for the peace talks to be negotiated, and why did they start fighting again?!"
"It's true!" Wang Xiaoer wiped his sweat again, "I ran to the edge of the West Lake and only found out about it from the mouths of those kiln ladies."
"Not only did they start a fight, but our brother-in-law, His Majesty the Emperor, also personally picked up the sword to kill the gold thief!"
Now the old Wangtou could no longer remain calm: "Your Majesty is also going? Don't get hurt!"
Not only don't you get hurt, it's best not to lose even a single hair. After all, that's your own son-in-law.
"It's not hurt, it's not hurt! I heard that our soldiers of the Song Dynasty hadn't taken action yet, so my brother-in-law raised a sword and joined the army alone. He killed countless enemies and captured Shouzhou City by himself."
The two of them had also been soldiers. Seeing that Wang Xiaoer was exaggerating, they began to feel unconvinced.
Seeing them like this, Wang Xiaoer was a little worried: "What did I lie to you for? Jin Gou's one hundred thousand troops in Shouzhou City were all killed by my brother-in-law!"
"They all say that my brother-in-law is the True Dragon Emperor, and he has the help of gods. Prince Guan and Master Zhang all came down to earth to help!"
"With them here, it won't be easy for our brother-in-law to kill the golden dog!"
Lao Wangtou and Ji Wu lowered their heads and thought for a while. If this was the case, it would make sense.
But soon, Lao Wangtou suddenly reacted.
He raised his head and looked at the two of them, and quickly took out a large amount of money:
"Hurry, hurry up and buy incense paper candles, hurry up!"
Seeing his appearance, the two of them didn't know what happened, so they took the money and ran out quickly.
When they arrived at the incense shop, they were about to close the shop. Ji Wu quickly stopped him:
"If you want to buy something, you have to buy something! Why are you closed in broad daylight?"
The store owner just waved his hand: "Where else can I sell you something? They've all been sold out, and I still have to restock!"
Ji Wu grabbed his collar and pointed to the cabinet in the store:
"There is no such thing as lying with open eyes, so what is it?"
"Just sell it, I'll waste your money!"
The shopkeeper saw that he was rude and pushed him away:
"This is for my own use. If you want to buy it, go find it elsewhere!"
With that said, he closed the door and separated the two people from the outside.
"What a bastard!"
Ji Wu kicked the door, not wanting to let it go.
But he was pulled by Wang Xiaoer:
"Fifth brother, look."
Looking towards Wang Xiaoer's gaze, Ji Wu saw a mist of smoke floating in the sky above Lin'an City.
"This is……"
The two sniffed and confirmed that this was incense.
This was the largest incense smoke they had ever seen.
It is also the smoke of incense that has never been seen by all the temples in the world and by all the faithful men and women.
The smoke rose from every house in Lin'an City, passed through the roofs, through the tiles, and floated into the sky.
Everyone who has crossed over from the north to the south, everyone who has experienced or heard about the Jingkang Rebellion,
At this time, everyone was in front of the family members' memorial tablets. Some were crying, some were talking, some were silent, and some... were singing.
What's more, he directly held the spirit in his arms and whispered to them the news that the emperor was leading troops to fight.
You should be able to hear it, right?
You will definitely hear it.
You may have seen it, seen everything that has happened.
We have already made our way home.
(End of chapter)
