I saw the two guards raising their hands and aiming their guns. After the crackling gunfire, three of the attackers immediately fell down. The warrior who was standing at the front of the car and was about to enter the car rolled down from the carriage.
The guards immediately gained the upper hand and surrounded the assassins.
Behind the scenes, the policemen from the government office arrived, grabbing the prisoners with all their skills and escorting them to prison.
Zhao Bingyan returned to the palace and heard that Emperor Xiao Chen had been attacked, so he immediately went to the palace to learn about the situation. The prefect Wu Qingyuan was already there.
He reported to Zhao Bingyan: After preliminary interrogation, he believed that these thieves were sent by Champa to murder Mr. Chen. They shouted for revenge for the Champa people, and the weapons and martial arts routines they used were all from Champa.
After Zhao Bingyan protected Emperor Xiao Chen, he asked Qian Shipan to select five good players from the guards to stay and replace Emperor Xiao Chen's guards.
The few remaining guards were still unwilling to follow him.
He said that defending the Chen family means protecting the king, and he is also the king's personal guard. This secret enemy hopes that we will not care about the life and death of the Chen family, so that the Annan people will make trouble and rebel after seeing it, and ruin the great country of stability and unity in the Song Dynasty.
He told Wu Qingyuan: Public security in Danzhou needs to be strengthened. The fact that these thieves can cross the sea and penetrate deep into the hinterland of Hainan shows that there are still loopholes in our preventive measures. When Mr. Chen goes out, he must be escorted by someone, and Miss Huaiyu must be escorted when she goes out. There must be no mistakes.
Wu Qingyuan immediately agreed like a chicken pecking at rice.
Emperor Xiao Chen and Queen Xiao Chen were heart-warming.
At dawn the next day, Zhao Bingyan set out under the protection of the guards. The team quickly moved towards the seaport of Changhua according to the emergency march mode. The horses' hooves clattered before they ran very far before they saw Zhu Jingyi dripping with sweat.
He asked Zhu Jingyi if she was tired and if she wanted to rest for a while.
The girl said coldly: "I'm not tired."
Zhao Bingyan was so frustrated that he started running even after waving his whip and screaming.
Three days later, he crossed the sea and came to the second road recovered by the Song Dynasty, Shenglong Road Prefecture.
Concubine Yang Shu knew that Zhao Bingyan was back and personally took Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang to the pavilion ten miles outside the east gate to greet them, which surprised Zhao Bingyan.
He said with sincerity and fear: "The sun is scorching hot, why does the Queen Mother need to make this trip for me?"
Concubine Yang Shu happily said that it was worth it, it was worth it, the King of Han was not afraid of life and death for the Song Dynasty, and it was nothing for the Ai family to sweat a little.
When the group arrived at Fengxi Palace, Aunt Liu had already prepared the dinner.
After drinking for three rounds, Wen Tianxiang said with a smile that the King of Han had a clever plan. After Shenglong Road returned to our Song Dynasty, except for Qinghua in the south, all other states and counties were stable. The general is personally stationed in Qinghua to suppress the bandits, and will return to Beijing soon. The Western Expedition was a good move.
Everyone laughed and drank a drink together.
After being happy, Lu Xiufu complained to him.
The old man told him that all wastes were waiting to be revitalized. According to the advice of the King of Han, the imperial court established pollution control bureaus in various places, took in the homeless beggars in the city to work, and built roads and water conservancy projects on a large scale. The people got an advantage, and the prices of vegetables and food increased. Personal happiness blossomed.
However, the treasury is empty.
Zhao Bingyan knew that Lu Xiufu was crying out to him about poverty. When he entered the city, he saw that the streets were completely new and he had indeed invested a lot in it.
He said: "Don't be afraid. I will ask Mr. Zhuge for your full support later. I'm afraid you don't know. Zhuge's biggest regret in his life is that he did not conquer Annan. Now that we have fulfilled Zhuge's wish, Mr. Zhuge is very happy."
Zhao Bingyan was able to make them believe that taking down Annan was God's will.
The three people said "Oh", still doubtful. If this is the case, if the King of Han asks Immortal Zhuge for help in the future, the Immortal will definitely be willing to take action.
Lu Xiufu was a little convinced, and solemnly said that a temple should be built for Zhuge Wuhou in Shenglong City to express Wuhou's merits and let future generations worship him.
Zhao Bingyan wanted to laugh, but he calmed down and said that it was necessary. We should not only build a temple for Zhuge Wuhou, but also build a temple for Confucius. Saint Kong was the one who preached the truth and solved our doubts for us.
Concubine Yang Shu happily said: "Great kindness, yes." The three people immediately raised their wine glasses to pay tribute to Concubine Yang, and shouted with a smile: "I obey the order."
When Zhao Bingyan returned to his house, Zhu Jingyi was nowhere to be seen. He asked Qian Shipan where he was?
Qian Shipan whispered: "Miss Zhu was taken away by the young father-in-law from Fengxi Palace."
Zhao Bingyan had already predicted that either her father was calling her, or the Queen Mother was calling her.
Sure enough.
Why does he feel that this woman is a trouble around him?
The pollen elf sensed his troubles and said with a smile: "The King of Han is blessed with great luck and great fortune."
Zhao Bingyan scolded him for being a fool.
The pollen elf said arrogantly that he was Sai Zhuge, who knew everything about astronomy and geography. Why didn't he know that? The focus of this matter is not Zhu Jingyi, but Queen Mother Yang Shufei.
Of course Zhao Bingyan knew that Yang Shufei was there, but he couldn't kill the Queen Mother and be done with it, and he had to think about it in the long term.
At this moment, Concubine Yang Shu was in Fengxi Palace asking Zhu Jingyi about his focus.
Zhu Jingyi told the government affairs and military affairs council meeting held by Zhao Bingyan in Danzhou in detail. The Queen Mother nodded, everyone knew that there was a memorial.
Zhu Jingyi told the story about Zhao Bingyan and Guo Xiangcheng Lin's trip to Guangzhou and Changguo County. The Queen Mother paid great attention to it and asked her to be more detailed.
However, this woman did not go with Zhao Bingyan, and all she knew was what Zhao Bingyan said at home. The Queen Mother thought it was not enough and was very dissatisfied.
Aunt Liu felt that it was not good for the two Jianghu women to be too close to the King of Han.
Zhu Jingyi suddenly thought of Zhao Bingyan's gun in Wu Xintong's hand, and immediately said it, saying sourly that the King of Han was partial, what kind of a civilian girl was she, worthy of having the King of Han's little brother?
The Queen Mother felt like her heart had been hit. Well, Bingyan actually gave the gun he used to the woman. The relationship between the two must be very deep.
Eunuch Zhu was already scolding Zhu Jingyi, saying that she didn't know anything. Wu Xintong had charged into battle with King Han in Yashan Water Village, fought through life and death, and risked her life to save King Han.
Eunuch Zhu asked again and again if Zhu Jingyi was still there, if there was any more?
Zhu Jingyi racked her brains to recall that there was no more, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Bingyan once said that he quit and wanted to go back.
She thought of what Zhao Bingyan said when he returned to Danzhou from Qiongzhou and recuperated at his house, and she explained it honestly.
The Queen Mother was shocked and asked her where the King of Han said this?
The little girl couldn't figure out the reason.
Eunuch Zhu deduced that it was the time when the King of Han returned to Danzhou to recuperate. It was probably because the King of Han was injured again and again and was physically and mentally exhausted.
Aunt Liu immediately said: "This is not possible. It is the time when the imperial court is recruiting people, and the King of Han cannot leave."
The Queen Mother nodded and told Zhu Jingyi to go back and take care of King Han's daily life.
The next day, Zhao Bingyan went to the treasury and asked Zhuge Wuhou to appear. In an instant, the pollen spirit released all the gold and silver coins in the space. After Lu Xiufu's household counted them and put them in the treasury, he happily said that he would not have to worry about expenses on Shenglong Road.
He said that Thang Long Road is now stable and sea trade is recovering quickly. We have tax revenue from sea trade and we are not afraid of losing money.
Lu Xiufu had already seen the huge development potential of maritime trade from the Ministry of Revenue's statistical reports, which reassured him that he would urge the Ministry of Revenue to collect all receivables.
He said that we are not only collecting taxes, but also providing a good market for maritime trade, constantly improving dock warehousing, and even connecting land roads to combat bandits at sea.
Only when both entrances and exits are opened up can businessmen be willing to make a living here because they consider safety and convenience.
Lu Xiufu happily said that he would make arrangements right away.
In the afternoon, Wen Tianxiang went to his public room to have tea and talk. The two of them reviewed the situation of the new army.
Wen Tianxiang said with a hint of worry: "The conquest of Annan caused a huge loss of firearms in the Guards. Now the average loss of each brigade is more than 20%. Wang Bao and Liu Dali's brigade are particularly outstanding. The training of new recruits is two people with one gun. , some companies even have three people with one gun.”
Zhao Bingyan said that this was also a concern for him.
Mr. Zhuge cannot support our large ordnance consumption for a long time, and we have to rely on our military industry to make suitable weapons to destroy the enemy.
Wen Tianxiang looked out the window and muttered to himself, saying that Zhuge Daxian's weapons were all divine weapons. Let alone manufacturing, the craftsmen in the weapons supervisor could not repair them at all and could only disassemble and assemble the damaged firearms.
Zhao Bingyan smiled secretly. If they could produce such a firearm that was eight hundred years ahead of their time, then why would he be called a time traveler?
He told Wen Tianxiang not to worry, he would visit each unit to see the situation.
