Dressed in black clothes and armor, Li Xuan rode on a tall black horse, slowly walking from the gate of Muzhou City into the city that had just experienced a bloody battle.
Although the top and bottom of the city gate have been cleaned very clean, traces of blood stains can still be seen between the cracks of the bricks underground.
Li Xuan was followed by Yu Ze, Du Bixing and others, followed by a whole team of Qianniu Guards in red clothes and golden armor.
A tall and majestic soldier, with a Thousand Ox Sword within reach.
The man rises and falls slowly with the horse, and his body seems to be relaxed, but his sharp eyes tell others that they will violently kill someone at any time.
A tall and simple archway was erected in front of the city gate, with four characters "Yanling Shouyi" written on it.
Yu Ze looked up at the archway, and at the same time told Li Xuan and everyone about the origin of Muzhou City.
"Since He Qi established Xindu County in the 13th year of Jian'an, this has always been the seat of the county seat of Xin'an County. Later, when Shezhou and Muzhou were divided into two parts, this place has always been the seat of the state seat of Muzhou, for four hundred and sixty years. Eight years."
"Then why has there been constant turmoil here for so many years?" Li Xuan looked sideways at Yu Ze and asked with some confusion: "Even except for Chen Shuozhen's Tianyin Sect, there are still careerists here. "
In the front is Chen Bogu, the former king of Chenxin'an County, in the back is Fangla of the Northern Song Dynasty, and in the middle is Chen Shuozhen.
"Muzhou and Shezhou are located on the edge of Huizhou and Zhejiang. There are long whips and no rush. In addition, there are many mountains and bandits, so they are easy to be taken advantage of." Yu Ze and Li Xuan walked out from under the archway and explained in detail. All kinds of things that have happened in Muzhou over the years.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the alley ahead: "Please, give me back the land, it is my family's ancestral land!"
"Is that yours? Get lost, that's mine, bah." An arrogant and unreasonable voice came out immediately.
Li Xuan urged the horse slightly, and in a blink of an eye he had arrived at the entrance of the alley.
Deep in the alley, he saw two figures entangled with each other.
An old man in his fifties was lying on the ground, holding on to a strong man in front of him.
The old man's hair was gray and messy, and his face was full of wrinkles and dirt.
All he had on was a tattered gray singlet, and one right leg was dragged on the ground as if it had been broken, but he still firmly grasped the trousers of the strong man in front of him with his hands.
Although the middle-aged man was dressed simply and cleanly, he had a arrogant look on his face. He was holding a small grain bag in one hand and patting the old man's arm on the ground hard with the other.
In the blink of an eye, the old man's arm was already red from being slapped.
At the same time, the strong man kept yelling and scolding: "Let me go, you old fool, is that your field? It belongs to my family, get out, get out, get out now."
Li Xuan stopped at the entrance of the alley and looked at everything with cold eyes.
Qi Guang, who was behind, hurried forward and said anxiously: "My lord, should you go and separate them? If you continue like this, someone will die."
"No one will die, don't worry about it, let's keep going." Li Xuan shook her head and said, and then the indifferent Dama continued to move forward.
Qi Guang was slightly stunned. In his daze, a group of Qianniu Guards had already passed by him on horseback. No one glanced at the alley.
Qi Guang's brows suddenly wrinkled. He turned around and took a deep look at the two people who were entangled inside. Then he turned around and quickly chased after Li Xuan. As soon as he caught up with Li Xuan, he heard a sound. Yu Ze, who was standing beside him, suddenly said: "What a clumsy show!"
"Drama?" Qi Guang was stunned and immediately realized, were all the things just now an act?
In an instant, Qi Guang was sweating all over his body. In fact, just now, he wanted to ask his men to go and investigate the cause of the incident, but after thinking about it carefully, he rejected the idea.
Although Li Xuan had not explained before, Qi Guang still had confidence in his benefactor.
If this kind of thing really happened, the King of Nanchang would never let it go, so he planned to persuade him after he went back, but he never thought that it was a deliberately staged drama.
"Some people's hearts are not
An, so I did a little testing. Li Xuan looked back at Qi Guang and said gently: "This is not far from the city gate. It has been less than a day since Muzhou was liberated, and the blood has not yet dried. Ordinary people would not dare to go out casually, let alone such a coincidence." If you do, you'll meet your enemies."
Speaking of this, Li Xuan sighed softly: "This king, as the pacifier, has already become known throughout the city even before he takes office."
Although Li Xuan has received the appointment of the pacifier, this appointment will not be announced until he enters the city of Muzhou and gathers the remaining officials, gentry and people of Muzhou.
But within the Yuezhou Dudu Mansion, from the moment Li Xuan walked out of the Jiande County Yamen, this matter was no longer a secret.
Although Li Xuan is destined to be a pacifier for a short time, even if it only lasts for more than 20 days, if he does a good job, he can still reap huge benefits.
Even if what you do is not that good, it is easy to use it to harm some people.
"The King of Nanchang entered the Muzhou Prefecture Office, occupied the Chief Historian's Office, and began to take over the government affairs of Muzhou... The governor sent an order, and after half an hour, the Muzhou Prefecture Office was promoted to the Yamen." A young general wearing silver chainmail armor , reporting all the news about Li Xuan to Huai Jin.
Huai Jin stood in the center of the lobby, with soldiers surrounding him helping him put on his armor.
"Although the King of Nanchang is young, he is not easy to deal with!" Huai Jin snorted coldly.
So what if it was difficult to deal with. He had killed countless opponents like this in his entire life.
The young general on the side did not speak. Although the arrangement at the city gate today was simple, once he was attacked, the King of Nanchang would immediately be in a dilemma. If the time came, the King of Nanchang would have to get out of Muzhou in embarrassment.
But no one expected that the King of Nanchang would ignore him and just walk by.
It was like seeing through their calculations at a glance.
"Go and spread the news that King Nanchang massacred tens of thousands of Tianyin Jian soldiers in Muzhou. After half a day, spread the news about today's incident as well. I would like to see how he can be a pacifier!" Huai Jin sneered, and his methods were not limited to just a little bit.
When King Nanchang walked through the alley, no matter what he did, everything was already planned.
"General, you obey!" The young general was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. A soldier in blue had already walked in from the door, and then handed a bamboo tube to the young general's hand. inside.
When the young general opened it and took a look, his expression changed slightly.
"Huai Ling, what happened?" Huai Jin turned sideways and looked at his nephew with a frown.
"There are three Qianniu Guards who have just left the state government office. They seem to be carrying packages. They rode to the dock and then took a boat to Hangzhou." Huailing handed over the secret guard in his hand.
After Huai Jin took it, he glanced at the secret guard and his face immediately darkened: "I said that I was going to Hangzhou because the ship was arriving in Hangzhou. The Qianniu Guards dispatched must not be for the King of Nanchang to personally deliver a message. I'm afraid that his letter will be sent to Hangzhou." It’s going to be sent to the capital of God.”
The King of Nanchang will send a report to the Crown Prince every three days. On the surface, it seems that this is a sign that the relationship between the King of Nanchang and the Crown Prince is good, but those who really pay attention to this matter know that this is His Majesty's communication through the King of Nanchang. Look at everything that happened in Wu Yue from the perspective of Wu Yue.
The emperor did not have only one eyeliner in Wuyue, but each had their own positions and looked at problems from different angles.
Even the time for each person's report to be delivered to the emperor was different.
Through various means, the emperor was able to completely see the situation in the Wuyue states.
If you listen to one side, you will believe on the other side; if you listen to both sides, you will understand.
Although the report from the King of Nanchang will not determine anything, it can definitely affect the emperor's view of a person.
At any other time, Huai Jin would not have cared about the rights of the King of Nanchang, because he also had the right to perform solos to the emperor.
It's just that all he and the emperor can talk about are about suppressing bandits, but the King of Nanchang can talk about much more.
Especially now that he has taken up the post of Muzhou's pacifier, especially with his arrangements today.
The King of Nanchang must have clearly seen something behind this, something very sensitive.
And these things are simply not something Huai Jin can mention.
Huai Jin had a feeling that the King of Nanchang might have sued him severely in the memorial.
His heart immediately sank.
"Uncle, do we still need to continue what we are going to do?" Huailing couldn't help but ask.
"Continue, why don't you continue? So what if the King of Nanchang can send the memorial directly to His Majesty's desk? Your Majesty doesn't just listen to him." Huai Jin immediately let out a cold snort, but then he said: "Conquer the Tianyin Sect. A big event in the general altar is about to happen, and I believe that King Nanchang will not mess around."
Huailing immediately held up her hands and said suddenly, "My nephew understands."
Although Duan Baoxuan, the governor of Yuezhou, was a veteran in the killing field, he was too old after all to be on the front lines of the battle in person.
Although the King of Nanchang has an outstanding record, he has already handed over his post as Captain Guo Yi of the Kuaiji Prefecture and has no right to interfere in the next battle.
Only he, Huai Jin, could serve as the frontline commander of the entire counter-rebellion army.
In this case, who dares to do anything to him?
As for other little tricks, only Huai Jin can quell the rebellion of the Tianyin Sect, so he has nothing to fear.
In the lobby of Muzhou Prefecture Government Office, Duan Baoxuan was sitting there, wearing a red official robe, looking majestic.
Li Xuan wore a scarlet official robe and entered from the outside in a very low-key manner.
After giving a slight salute to Duan Baoxuan, Li Xuan walked aside and stood solemnly.
When he looked up, he saw Huai Jin looking at him with a look of pride on his face.
Li Xuan calmly cupped her hands slightly, then closed her eyes and stood there.
Soon, Sima Yao Zhi, the governor of Yuezhou, Yuan Yi, the governor of Hangzhou, Ji Xiao, the captain of the navy in Hangzhou, Jia Mu, the Taizhou official, and other officials of all sizes arrived one after another.
When everyone arrived, Duan Baoxuan gently patted the table.
Everyone stood up immediately, cupped their hands and said, "Just follow the command of the Governor."
Duan Bao I believe that the imperial court will reward you for your merits soon."
"Thank you, Captain, for being fair!" Everyone present immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with expressions of joy that could not be concealed.
When people follow the army, they naturally do it for merit, and they naturally expect rewards, as well as a future.
