"I'm reporting to my lord, my lords! The spy has come to report that five great monks have entered the city and they are suspected to be Duke Wu... Now it's time to say they are King Wu, please make a decision, lord!"
The whole place fell silent, and the thoughts of Du Fuwei and others were suddenly diverted...
"Evil King of Martial Arts?!"
"The Evil Martial King is here so soon?!"
They let out a rather surprised and suppressed cry, they had no intention of discussing the issue of becoming king anymore.●⌒,.
Compared with becoming king, compared with the development of power, compared with the war-torn Sui Empire.
Put in front of Du Fuwei's army, the biggest threat is... King Xiewu!
The three counties of Liyang, Danyang and Jiangdu are under the jurisdiction of King Xiewu. They have seized King Xiewu's territory!
He killed two heavenly kings in a row, captured one god and two demons alive, and became famous and powerful in the world. Even the imperial court was afraid of the evil king, and these rebels were even more afraid. Compared with Yang Xuangan's army, what is Du Fuwei's army?
…
Liyang County City.
Wu Xin took Hua Gonggong, Hong Bo and other four top monks. They did not sneak in, but started from the city gate and walked along the avenue as if they were playing.
The Liyang County town captured by the rebels was not chaotic and depressed as imagined, but rather prosperous and peaceful, with vendors shouting and selling, civilians talking loudly, and children chasing and playing.
It can be said that the Liyang County City at this time was more peaceful and peaceful than before it was captured, and than most of the cities in the Sui Empire today.
There would be no more prosperity, because many large households in the county were dealt with by the rebels, but the rebels did not disturb and persecute the civilians.
"Du Fuwei is really amazing at being able to possess such powerful power and strength in a short period of time. At least he is unique in managing people's livelihood and is a good hand!"
Along the way, Ancestor Xingkong was quite appreciative.
Both Hongbo and Hua Gonggong are taciturn people who seldom speak, so naturally they will not participate in comments.
High Priest Di Mo nodded and interjected: "Smell the atmosphere and look at the mood. Du Fuwei is very popular among the people. It is hard to imagine that this is a place of rebellion."
At this time, Wu Xin and the other five people happened to walk in front of a restaurant that was bustling with people and full of guests.
“I’ve been traveling for a few days, come up and sit down and enjoy the delicious food of Xia Liyang!”
Wu Xin said inexplicably, as if this trip was really just for fun.
After that, Bento entered the building first, and naturally the others would not have any objections.
Although Wu Xin and others deliberately held their breath and did not exude the aura and aura of great monks, they were extremely powerful and used to occupy high positions. Their temperaments were different. They looked like they were not ordinary people, so no one wanted to mess with them.
The maid in the restaurant welcomed them warmly, and helped Wu Xin and others arrange seats by the window. All kinds of delicacies and delicacies were quickly served.
During the meal, Wu Xin and others ate in a dull manner, but all the noise in most of the restaurant was heard.
Far away, the civil and military emperor Yang Guang returned to the court with his troops, but he returned in despair. Not only did he fail to capture an inch of his clan's land, but he also lost a lot of supplies and soldiers.
Obviously, the failure of Yang Guang's second expedition really affected his prestige and popular sentiment.
Recently, Duke Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty occupied the eastern capital and raised an army to rebel. He shouted the slogan "Fight the unjust, punish the tyrant, and purge the traitorous ministers"!
Then there are speculations about why Tang Guogong Li Yuan rebelled, how the court responded, etc. Although most of them are rumors and not facts, many of them are correct.
This is just a rumor that comes out of nowhere.
Never underestimate the rumors in the market!
There are quite a few things about Du Fuwei's army, such as which city they captured, how many troops they recruited, which bandits they recruited, which bullies and landlords they tried, etc.
What surprised Wu Xin and others was that there were a lot of things about Du Fuweijun, but there were basically no bad comments.
With the strength and eyesight of Wu Xin and others, it is natural to see that most of these words over wine and tea are sincere. What Du Fuweijun said is basically true, and it is not that they dare not say it.
"Lord! They are coming..."
Suddenly, High Priest Di Mo reminded him in a low voice.
Wu Xin, Ancestor Xingkong, Eunuch Hua, and others calmly sensed and found that there were fourteen or five great monk auras approaching the restaurant from all directions.
With the fourteen to five great monks, most of them were in the early or middle stages of divine training. It was far from enough to deal with Wu Xin and the five of them. It even seemed like asking for their own death. Wu Xin and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care.
A middle-aged man wearing a felt hat, a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, wearing a simple and simple outfit like an ordinary Jianghu figure, appeared at the stairway of the second floor where Wu Xin and others were. As soon as he appeared, some people present stood up in awe.
He stood up respectfully, and the others smiled and greeted him, but strangely no one addressed him or greeted him.
Observe carefully, you can see that this man has a dignified appearance, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard of several feet. He has the temperament and appearance of a typical Jianghu hero. As he looks at him, he is very powerful, but his temples are gray and there are horizontal lines on his forehead, which seems to depict a certain period in the past.
Hard times.
Wu Xin and others can be completely engraved in their minds with just one glance, so naturally they will not stare at this person fiercely.
This person looked around at the guests present, then walked straight towards where Wu Xin and others were, and greeted politely:
"Can I set up a table when I'm out?"
Based on their confidence in Wu Xin's power, Hong Bo, Hua Gonggong and others were not on false alert, but were stunned by this man's behavior. There were four or five empty tables on the second floor. Five people were sitting at Wu Xin's table, and there were no empty seats at all.
, what table should we set?
This way of striking up a conversation is quite personal!
"Du Fuwei?!"
Wu Xin, who was raising the lamp to peck, did not reply immediately. Instead, he pecked slowly and naturally, put it down, looked at the middle-aged man with interest, and asked directly.
"King Xiewu is coming. I just heard about it. It would be rude to miss him from afar."
Du Fuwei clasped his fists and bowed to apologize in a grand manner, which was completely a formal etiquette and not an official behavior.
"You're welcome! Come and take a walk. It's just the land managed by General Du Da. Why bother with all the troops? Please!"
Wu Xin signaled to High Priest Di Mo and responded to Du Fuwei with a smile.
High Priest Di Mo understood and stood up to sit with Ancestor Xiankong.
This table became Wu Xin and Du Fuwei, sitting in the north and south, Hong Bo and Hua Gonggong sat on the east side, and Xingkong Patriarch and Di Mo sat on the west side.
"Oh? What do King Xiewu think?" Du Fuwei sat down happily and naturally, Zilaisu asked with a smile, like a friend meeting by chance and chatting.
Wu Xin responded frankly: "It's not bad. It's better than most cities. It's almost as good as Jurong! Unfortunately, it's more peaceful than prosperous, so it's still a little bit worse after all!"
While talking, Wu Xin held up a cup to invite him.
Du Fuwei raised his glass to greet him, put it down, and said with a helpless smile: "There is no way! As soon as the rebels arrived, many landlords, big households, merchants, etc. were scared away. After dealing with some notorious evil forces, the economy naturally declined.
Got it!"
"You are rebelling against the army! Everyone is afraid of you, especially businessmen and big families. It is understandable!"
Wu Xin nodded and answered naturally. After a pause, his smile faded and he said in a serious voice:
"How dare you come to see me alone when you know you are a rebel?"
Without waiting for Du Fuwei's answer, he quickly added: "Now, it only takes one breath for me to take action, and those people outside have no time to react!" (To be continued.)
