When Guo Shuronghua heard that the army had reported in, he smiled apologetically to several people: "Today's covenant between the three religions is a grand event. Unfortunately, the army is crude and it is difficult to celebrate. I'm really sorry." Waiting for Huo Li Guwen and others The man was polite and said to Cao Xiangfei: "It's very foggy tonight and the ships can't set off. Please ask the Imperial Guards to rest in the camp. You can make arrangements for them. Also, the Imperial Guards' friends will come with them later." It would be better to send it over and let them meet each other,"

Huo Li Guwen listened and wondered, wondering where my "friends" came from in the Central Plains. He got off the boat and arranged to sit down in the tent. After a while, the soldiers escorted several people over. It was the few people he had sent back to Wala on the way. The accompanying monks all had their heads drooped with sad faces. After asking, they found out that they were intercepted and interrogated by Dongchang Fanzi on their way back. They found it like a treasure. They originally planned to take them to Beijing, but when they heard that the governor was here, they They sent it all the way here, so it goes without saying that the information obtained by Dongchang was what they recruited.

Guo Shuronghua heard the sound of footsteps and left the ship, and then he called for the military report. Unexpectedly, it was Zeng Shiquan who showed his head at the ladder. He glanced at it without saying anything, turned around and sat back behind the desk. Zeng Shiquan quietly lowered his head and sipped the plum bird. He walked up with his head, took a peek, then fell to his knees on the floor with a thud.

Guo Shuronghua watched Cheng Lianan withdraw his pen and ink without saying a word.

Zeng Shiquan tentatively said: "Governor..." His voice was weak and hoarse, like an old cub asking his mother for worms to eat.

Guo Shuronghua's eyes passed through him as if he were looking through the air, and he said to the staircase: "Where is the military report? Why haven't you come up yet?"

Zeng Shiquan hurriedly kowtowed: "In order to see the Governor as soon as possible, I dared to pass it on for him." When he said this, he suddenly felt that he was choking on the saliva. He swallowed hurriedly, and continued with a smile: "Congratulations. Lord Governor, the news just arrived is that our army has gathered some powerful and remnant bandits..."

Guo Shuronghua ignored him and glanced at Cheng Lian'an. Cheng Lian'an quickly lowered his head and went to the stairs and said: "Who is down there? Why don't you come up to talk to me?"

Fang Yinhe walked up and held his hands over his head: "Duke Gong,"

Guo Shuronghua said: "Where is the military report?"

Fang Yinhe had just listened to Zeng Shiquan's questioning of the reporting officer below. He already knew the content and said hurriedly: "Congratulations to the Governor, our army..."

Guo Shuronghua looked at him: "You are the reporting officer." Fang Yinhe kept his eyes open, hurriedly bowed and turned around, pulling the reporting officer back who had walked far away. The reporting officer saw that something was wrong in the atmosphere of the scene. Busy knelt down behind Zeng Shiquan, and said with a pounding voice: "Shen, see Du Gong,"

Guo Shuronghua: "Report,"

The reporting officer said: "Yes, report to the Governor, Lushan... news came that General Xu led his troops to besiege the remaining bandits in the east of Quwei in the Scissor Gorge. Both sides suffered casualties. Now there is a stalemate. General Xu said that the mountain road is rugged , the opponent occupies the terrain, but if the artillery can be moved in, we can hope to completely wipe out the enemy before dawn."

Guo Shuronghua said lightly: "You should know the consequences of telling military information to irrelevant outsiders."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Shiquan's fair-skinned face lost even a trace of color. He crawled forward two steps, his head almost buried under the case, and cried with snot and tears: "Duke, Du Gong, I know I was wrong. Xiao Quan knew he was wrong,"

The reporting officer was even more frightened and couldn't help but kowtow.

Guo Shuronghua said: "You are from the army and are not familiar with things in the factory. I can't blame you for this matter. But it's just this time. Let's go down." If the reporter was amnesty, he said: "Thank you very much, Governor, for your kindness. Thank you very much, Governor." "Excuse me," rolled downstairs.

Guo Shuronghua closed his eyes and flicked his fingers. Cheng Lianan understood and respectfully took out a yellow silk brocade bag from the hidden compartment of the closet next to him. He held it in his hand. Guo Shuronghua said: "This is the emperor's decision to reopen the sea. Fang Yinhe, please send people to the front of the battle line to restore the fishery and shipping trade. Tell several generals to stop attacking and no longer need to deploy artillery. Read the content of this imperial edict to the thieves repeatedly in public, and make it clear that all rebels and thieves are willing to surrender. You can be pardoned, and then you can accept the surrender. Among the wooden boxes we brought out when we left Beijing are the printed documents for opening the sea. You can pass them to the local people and tell them that all the surrounding cities will be settled before noon tomorrow. If you want to see it, the notice will be circulated to the village before You hour in the evening. There is no news from Longshou Cliff. It is estimated that a fierce battle is going on. You can take a picture."

Fang Yinhe accepted the order and came down.

Zeng Shiquan didn't dare to disturb him just now, so he stopped crying. Now that things have been assigned, he still doesn't dare to make a sound. He just moans in his throat and rubs his eye sockets silently.

Guo Shuronghua waved Cheng Lianan back downstairs. For a while, apart from Chang Sihao, who was lying quietly on the couch, they were the only two people left in the cabin.

The small lamp on the wall flickered twice, and the sound of the waves seemed to be much louder. The force of the rocking of the ship's hull was transmitted down the spine, making Zeng Shiquan feel that his head was like a sunflower disk, and he could not find the sun after dark. When the wind blows, everything becomes dizzy.

After a long time, a sigh seemed to reach my ears, as soft as the sound of wind coming through the cracks in the window.

This made him feel some kind of looseness. He hurriedly stopped crying, took off his waistband and put it on the case. He wiped his tears with his sleeve and said: "Duke, you don't need to say anything. Xiaoquan knows everything in his heart. Xiaoquan must hand over the label of the third chief, but I just want to ask you one thing: please remember the past, don’t drive me away, and keep me by your side to serve you. Whether it's combing your hair or cleaning the toilet, cooking or emptying a spittoon, as long as you don't think I'm old and don't think I'm a waste, then it will be... wu... wu..." The body collapsed, the neck twisted, and the whole person was crooked. There, with tears in her eyes, she looked like a widow singing "Little Visit to the Grave".

"Hurry up and put this thing away," Guo Shuronghua said, "Don't think I'm nostalgic. I'm always sorry that there are only four of you left in the factory. Look at Lu Liang and then look at the students. Who can worry less than you? , not to mention you Boss Cao, think about what else you have done in the past few years besides eating, drinking and having fun. How many times have you said that if you didn’t have those bad habits, the Qin family would think of blaming you. , This trip to Junshan is so meticulous, you will still miss. You have to know how many people in the court are staring at us, how many eyes in the world are staring at us, and those who are persistent in their evil intentions, Shiquan, you Don’t you have any idea in your heart?”

Zeng Shiquan cried bitterly, but secretly felt a surge of joy in his heart: After all, the Governor finally spoke, and he also knew that this was the result of making a prompt decision in Junshan and reporting the situation truthfully in a timely manner. Perhaps this was due to fear of crime. Honesty is his last hope. "Director, sir," he stuck his butt out like a cannon and lay on the floor like a heir.

Cheng Lianan got off the boat building, not daring to listen to what was being said upstairs. He walked out slowly, got on the deck and looked up, and saw Xiao Shengzi and An Siti beside the pier. He looked at An Siti and frowned slightly. , walked down and looked at the wet clothes on his body and the scars on his face, and asked: "What's going on?" An Siti trembled and told how he had fallen into the pit before, and how he had been thrown into the water by Zhang Shisanniang just now. After talking about what was going on inside, I also said that I was afraid that the Governor would summon me, so I didn't dare to change my clothes, so I had to stay here.

Cheng Lian'an said distressedly: "Hey, do you have anything to report? Besides, the Governor is very busy and can't remember what to summon you. The wind is so cold at night. It's not good if you get wet. Go down and change the fire. Come on," he asked two officers to help him away. He looked away and pulled Xiao Shengzi over. Just when he was about to speak, he looked at the Confucian scholar standing next to him with a straight face and an upright face. He didn't recognize him and asked, "Who is this? ,"

Fang Zhennuo had just returned from dragging Ayao's "abandoned corpse". He had just heard An Siti call the young eunuch "ancestor", and he expected it to be Eunuch Cheng whom he had mentioned in Yueyang. Unexpectedly, this powerful man in his impression could actually He was also a half-grown child. He held his hands and smiled and said, "My surname is Fang, Fang Zhennuo."

Cheng Lianan glanced at him, ignored him, pulled Xiao Shengzi away from the officer, and asked in a low voice: "How did he come back alive?"

Xiao Shengzi looked embarrassed and kept his voice very low: "Hey, don't you know? The third gear is notorious for being a traitor. I was so angry at the time, but I didn't want to get involved, so I flirted with him. He helped me take action and didn't give me a hard time," he briefly described the situation at that time.

Cheng Lian'an hummed softly, thought for a moment, and then asked him something in a low voice, asking: "Will you please clear me?" At the trestle, Ansiti had just put on his underwear and came out of the tent with a piece of cake in his mouth. He was facing a bonfire on the river beach, roasting and chewing while putting on his coat. When he saw Cheng Lianan coming, he hurriedly spit out the cake and greeted him. Cheng Lianan hurriedly waved his hands to say no, took the coat from the clerk and put it on for him, and sat down together by the fire, saying: "Well, in the past, you lived a comfortable life in the palace, but when you came out, it was rough and bumpy. Yes, it’s really hard on you,”

An Siti hurriedly said: "It's nothing," Cheng Lian'an gently pulled his face, looked at the scars, and said: "It's not serious, but you can't be careless. A scar is not worth it." He raised his head and said to the two officers next to him: "You go find Xiao Jinzi and do as I say and ask him to bring over the bottle of good wound medicine from my box." The officer nodded and left.

An Siti looked grateful and didn't know what to say. Cheng Lian'an said unfairly: "It's unreasonable. It's really unreasonable. Fang Yinhe dug a trap and set up an ambush. If he saw one of his own coming, he should have informed him. How could he just watch it happen?" "Go in," Xiao Shengzi hurriedly took it: "Isn't it? But this matter is easy to say. That person named Fang also has Master Zeng in his heart. He has never put anyone else in his eyes. He clearly knows that Master Zeng If his martial arts skills are not included, it doesn’t matter to others. In short, everything else is secondary, and his military skills are the most important.”

As soon as he heard this, An Siti's face became sour and he was so angry that he almost bled. He took Cheng Lianan's hand and said, "Grandpa, they are so bullying. You have to make the decision for me on this matter." Shengzi also shouted: "Yes, let's go to the Governor and ask him to comment."

Cheng Lianan pulled out his hand and sneered: "Look at what you are saying like a child. The Governor is busy with everything, so he has time to take care of this."

An Siti was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then shrank back. Xiao Shengzi said bitterly: "I'll just give it up. After all, Mr. An comes from the palace, how can he be so angry with this coward?"

Cheng Lian'an said: "This is in line with the old saying: good people bully others, and good horses can be ridden by good people. In fact, since vigilance is the foundation of the palace, when you go out to work in the factory, you should be more confident and confident, so as not to lose the prestige from above. "As he spoke, he patted An Siti on the shoulder and looked at him apologetically: "It's just that people have to earn their own face. You are a person sent by my godfather. When it comes to feelings, we do You are closer than others, but I can only complain for you in my heart. If you stand up, it seems that we little people are forming a clique for personal gain. It is really not easy to do this." After saying that, he sighed and turned around. He told Xiao Shengzi that the medicine would be delivered later and that he should serve and bandage it well, then he got up and walked to the trestle.

Zeng Shiquan knelt down in the shadow of the lamp, like a snail that had shed its shell, and his whole body was sticky with sweat.

Guo Shuronghua sighed and said: "Xiaoquan, you have figured out my temper. You expected that I would be reluctant to punish you because I would care about our support for each other in times of crisis, right?"

Zeng Shiquan hurriedly touched his forehead to the ground: "I don't dare, Xiaoquan absolutely doesn't dare. The Governor was popular back then, but Xiaoquan just followed the general trend. Over the years, I have been glad that I chose the right path and followed the right person. How dare I say that?" What kind of support is there?"

"That's all," Guo Shuronghua waved his hand, "Now is not the time to talk about this. The people who were sent back before were rude. Please tell me what happened in Junshan in detail."

"Yes," Zeng Shiquan knelt there and recounted how he spread rumors about the five-party talks, how he blocked the Dongting after finding out the Baijiao ship entered the harbor, how Li Yichen suggested taking credit, how he was confused and adopted it, and how he attacked from both sides.
