Please calm down your anger

Chapter 245 Coming to Kangyuan City again, fighting for fame is all for profit

Xianqing six years, the third day of the first month.

The beginning of spring has arrived, the weather is still cold, and the mountains are covered with snow, but on both sides of the canal, greenery has broken through the ground.

A large ship sailed with the wind, the flags fluttered on the ship, and the huge "King" flag fluttered and fluttered. Dozens of valiant soldiers stood around the ship in armor and armed with spears, scanning all directions with sharp and cold eyes.

Passing ships carefully avoided.

Inside the boat pavilion, Wang Xuan calmly flipped through the letter in his hand. He was wearing a black cloak embroidered with silver jaundice patterns.

Last year when he reported to the government army, he was impoverished, and in order to save money and hassle, he took only a few people on horseback across the mountains and rushed to Fucheng, but now he travels south with hundreds of guards on a chartered boat, full of style.

It's not that he likes to put on airs, but that this time it's about the competition for "Famous Generals", there are countless pairs of eyes in every move, and he is no longer an unknown person.

Apart from him, there are three other people in the boat pavilion.

Guo Luquan is getting old, Zhang Heng, Liu Shun, Mo Huaixian and others all want to stay in Yong'an, so only Mo Yuntian, Mo Yunxiao and Qi Long are following.

Bringing these three people has its own deep meaning.

Mo Yuntian is the younger brother of Mo Huaixian, who also came from Shanhai Academy, and served as the commander of the Yong'an Marching Army. He has shown extraordinary talents through several experiences.

Mo Yunxiao is in charge of the Qinglong Soushan Army's flag, proficient in concealment and detection, with a stable temperament and can take on heavy responsibilities.

As for Qi Long, although his cultivation level is not high, he is familiar with the rules of the Jianghu court, and he is eloquent. Wang Xuan intends to train him to be an envoy of Yong'an.

"grown ups."

Mo Yuntian cupped his hands indifferently and said: "There is news from Mojia Mountain City that Mr. Cen Xuzhou has found several five-element spiritual apertures, and he can fully redress the government army as long as the production of five-color copper increases."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, "It's not urgent. The Kanyuan Mountain Range is still blocked by heavy snow. Last year's harvest has not yet been digested. I made an agreement with Tu Su Ziming that after the snow melts, we will join forces to open up wasteland."

Qi Long hesitated for a moment, "My lord, we were originally scheduled to start on the seventh day of the lunar new year, but you suddenly moved ahead of schedule, did something happen?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth, "It's a good thing, do you all remember the matter of the Huang family's secret collection last year?"

"The dispute over the secret treasures of the Huang family, the royal family and the Taiyi Sect found a god conferring platform dedicated to conferring the mountain god Hebo. When the emperor went to the Sheji Temple to pray for blessings at the end of last year, he personally ordered the allocation of quotas to each state as a reward for opening up wasteland."

"Designation of the Mountain God?!"

When the three of them heard this, they all looked excited.

Qi Long said in a trembling voice: "Since the law of conferring mountain gods was lost, the territory of the human race has shrunk, which has resulted in the current situation. This is a sign that the human race is about to rise!"

Mo Yuntian squeezed his fist hard, "Xincheng is located in the mountains in the southwest, and evil spirits will inevitably breed on the way. The government army can only clean up from time to time. If the mountain god can be sealed, Yong'an and Xincheng will be connected as one."

"It's not that simple."

Wang Xuan shook his head and said: "Although the king of Bingzhou didn't say anything clearly, but according to his meaning, it seems that the number of places for this edict to seal the mountain god is limited, so I set off early."

The three suddenly realized and looked at each other.

"limited spots…"

Mo Yuntian frowned, "Since the emperor said it was a reward for land reclamation, there is no one in Bingzhou who can compare with me, Yong'an, but it is related to the conferment of the mountain god, and I am afraid that other government troops will not let it go."

"That's right."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, and looked at the secret letter in his hand.

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Xianqing, the Shenji Pavilion in the mountain city of the Xiao family rebelled. The three ancestors of the Xiao family attacked and killed them.

On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifth year of Xianqing, the Xiao family suddenly reported that Xiao Cheng, the captain of the military school of Ningfeng County, was disabled, and Xiao Zhongmou took over the post of captain.

……

Bingzhou Capital City, Kangyuan.

As night fell, the cities in the north and south were still brightly lit.

Just after the Chinese New Year, it was time to visit relatives and friends, and to recuperate, but Kangyuan City became more and more lively.

Every year on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Kangyuan, the capital city of Bingzhou, will hold a grand lantern festival. It is inevitable that the three religions will gather and tourists from all over the world will pour in.

Of course, another topic has been added this year: "Famous Generals".

No one is immune to gossip. In Jianghu, there is Shanhai Academy's "Book of Talents", and brothels have "Hundred Flowers Book". People love to talk about various rankings.

But these are all listed by the folk world, but the "Famous Generals" was ordered by the Yan court, which is of great significance.

Although in the eyes of insiders, this thing is just a joke, after all, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, but the common people never get tired of it.

"Emperor Xuan of Yong'an, known as the fierce tiger of Bingzhou, what I want to talk about today is his attack on the ghost city of Shanyin. It is said that at the end of spring last year, blood-clothed bandits were rampant..."

In the teahouse, Mr. Pingmen was spitting all over the place.

The tea guests below listened with gusto.

It is inevitable to exaggerate when commenting on the storytelling, and the "Hundred Ghosts Night Lantern" is extremely terrifying, while the Yong'an Army is like a magic soldier.

puff!

A man with a scarred face who just arrived couldn't help laughing out loud, and said with disdain in his eyes: "It's just a county captain, you're right, he's more powerful than the marshal over there, and he's not ashamed to take the money... "

"Go away, what are you!"

Immediately, someone stared at him, "I like to listen, what's wrong?"

A group of people around him booed at the same time, and drove the scar-faced man out.

As far as the people in Fucheng had a really good impression of Emperor Xuan, after all, the image of last year's single-handed battle and righteous rescue of the deceased was still in his mind, and he won successive victories afterwards, just like a character in a storybook.

In the Accord on the second floor, a man and a woman watched with cold eyes.

The man has a dark complexion, a tall stature, and a beard standing upright like steel needles, while the woman has an enchanting figure, with a pair of winking eyes that seem to be full of affection, but flash green light from time to time.

The man snorted twice, and said in a vague way: "We have achieved success in cultivation, and we all hide in places, and we don't dare to be famous, so as not to be seen as weak. These people are trying to be famous... I really don't understand."

"You're not human."

The woman smiled slightly, and her pupils instantly turned into almond shapes. "The ancestors said that most of the cultivation of the human race is for fame and fortune, and they grow stronger because of greed, but fame and fortune are also their weakness."

The man was a little anxious, "I don't understand what you're talking about, stop talking nonsense, and get to work quickly, if it's time for the Lord of Midnight to go on patrol, we can't hide it."

"It scares you, okay..."

The woman glanced at it, then slowly got up and went backstage.

An old man was having a leisurely drink of tea. When he saw the woman, his pupils shrank, his expression solemn and he cupped his hands and asked, "Who are you?"

"It does not matter."

The woman covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled slightly, "I'm looking for you to comment on the deal."

As he said that, with a wave of his hand, a blue cloth bundle suddenly appeared and slammed heavily on the table, making the sound of tinkling metal clanging.

The old man's face was ugly, he really didn't want to accept this kind of hidden business, but the other party did not leak a trace of energy, but it was creepy, obviously his morals were much higher than him.

Taking a deep breath, he untied the blue cloth bag, revealing a pile of dark copper and moon silver ingots, shining brightly under the candle lamp.

"Yo, generous enough."

The old man said something vaguely, then picked up the book next to him, flipped through it a few times, and his eyes gradually became serious, "There is such a thing... Are you from the Xiao family?"

The woman didn't speak, but looked at a hidden door in the distance, with a smile on her lips.

The old man's face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth, "I'll accept this job!"

"You're smart." The woman showed a charming smile and turned to leave.

boom!
The secret door exploded, and several men rolled out, covering their lower bodies and blushing, "What a powerful charm, master, who is this?"

The old man shook his head and sighed: "This person wants me to create momentum for the Xiao family and compete for the ranking in the "Book of Famous Generals". As for who it is, the old man can't guess."

"Taiyi Sect Master Hongyuan entrusted me to create momentum for Emperor Xuan, and now the Xiao family is doing this again, this year... I'm afraid it will be very lively."

On the other side, the black-faced man and the seductive woman left the teahouse, went out of the city at night to a deserted place, turned into billowing black smoke and headed for the distant mountains...

……

The sky was slightly bright, and the Kangyuan City Wharf was already crowded with people.

The Shangyuan Festival is approaching, and there are more and more cargo ships coming and going.

"Hey, look!"

"It's the boat of Paijiao, and there is a flag with the word 'king' on it. Could it be that Yong'an Emperor Xuan?"

"Hey, what a big show."

Many people stopped their work and stopped to watch.

Soon, the boat docked, and there were shop assistants from Mo's shop in Fucheng waiting with their carriages. A group of government troops disembarked in an orderly manner, loaded large and small boxes into the carriages, and then headed towards Kangyuan City.

After Wang Xuan led the people away, many people immediately whispered.

"Good guy, that six-eared dog is like a cow."

"Sure enough, the momentum is extraordinary. I didn't dare to speak just now."

"There is a bird, haven't you heard of it, the Xiao family..."

"All right, all right, get to work..."

In the distant convoy, Wang Xuan silently looked at the distant Kangyuan City,

Mo Yuntian next to him bowed his head and said: "My lord, there were rumors in various teahouses yesterday that the Xiao family is bound to win the first place in the "Famous Generals"."

"Is it inevitable?"

Qi Long laughed, "Last year the Xiao family only cared about entanglement with the blood-clothed robbers, and in terms of income from land reclamation, they are still far from adults."

Mo Yuntian shook his head and said, "My lord, this matter is a bit troublesome. After we settle down, I will explain it to you in detail."

The Mo family is now rich and powerful, and has already rented a three-entry mansion in Xingyefang in the south of the city, and hired many servants.

After the government army settled in, it was naturally very busy, and the senior officials of the government army gathered in the backyard wing room.

Mo Yuntian's expression was a little ugly, and he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the Xiao family probably knew about the decree of the mountain god earlier than we did, and reported some discoveries at the end of the year..."
