The victory of the war brought excitement to the people of Yangzhou City, which did not completely dissipate until dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight shined into the city from the east, the gate of Yangzhou City, which had been closed for many days, finally opened slowly as usual.
As the city gate opened, those Yangzhou people who had been waiting here for a long time, like a flood that had opened a floodgate, passed through the gate and poured out of the city.
In the turbulent flow of people, the young man who was beaten with a stick in front of Cui Jingzhi yesterday, the students in the college, Wang Chongan, Zhugan and others took the lead and ran at the front! As soon as they left the city, they walked towards the legendary temple with excitement on their faces.
Run to the battlefield.
However, they only led for a while, and then the horses caught up behind them.
Seeing several galloping horses passing by, several people hurriedly avoided, but the dust kicked up by the horses' hooves still covered their heads and faces.
"Ah, bah! You don't have eyes when riding a horse? Why don't you fall to death?"
Several young people of about the same age were sullen and spitting, jumping and cursing at the galloping horses that were getting away!
But while they were cursing, they suddenly thought of a problem: they were so excited this morning that they seemed to have forgotten that this trip was a full thirty miles, and the round trip was sixty miles! Why didn't they think of such a long distance?
Horseback riding? No matter what, getting a donkey cart is better than breaking your leg while running, right?
"How about going back again?"
Subconsciously looking back, looking at the still turbulent flow of people at the city gate, several young people shuddered together and gave up the idea instantly.
If I squeeze back again and find the horse, I don't know when I can squeeze out again.
Thinking of this, Wang Chongan pulled the bamboo pole and ran towards the crowd who had passed them in front: "Let's go, we finally got out, why go back? When we meet a big car on the road, just ask someone to take a piece of it with us!"
Upon hearing this, several other people seemed to agree with this, so the melancholy they had just aroused was immediately thrown out of the sky, and they hurried north again with great interest.

Yangzhou City, Changli Mansion.
This time for the great victory in Yangzhou City, Xiaohou's request for credit for killing more than 10,000 enemies in the first battle had been written by Cui Jingzhi overnight. Early in the morning, he sealed it with a fire seal, summoned the red feather messenger, and rushed it eight hundred miles away.
Go to Chang'an.
Haosheng gave instructions to the messenger. After the knight got on his horse and the sound of horse hooves subsided, Cui Jingzhi yawned loudly and staggered back to the bedroom. Without taking off his clothes, he fell down on the bed.
After so many days, he can finally let go of his worries and have a peaceful sleep! From now on, in his dreams, there will no longer be scenes of cities being destroyed and people dying!
"Yes... that's right... let people go to Xiao Hou's place to watch. If anything happens, come back and report immediately without delay..."
As soon as his head hit the pillow, Cui Jingzhi's eyes seemed to have been cast by magic. He could not open them at all! With the last bit of clarity in his mind, Cui Jingzhi explained the matter about Xiao Han to his old wife beside him.
Unable to hold on any longer, I fell into a deep sleep, snoring loudly!
Cui Jingzhi in the official's residence was already sound asleep, but Wang Wu, who was just across the street from him, was not sleepy at all at this time!
Sitting in a room in the official post house, Wang Wu looked down at a small sign in his hand, frowned, and said uncertainly: "Are we an official now?"
Xiao Dao, who was sitting opposite him, was happily wiping the small plaque that belonged to him with the corner of his clothes. Hearing this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said disgustedly: "What are you thinking about? We are not officers yet! We are officers and soldiers!"
"
"Officers and soldiers also have the word "official", isn't it the same thing?"
Hearing Xiao Dao's words, Wang Wu finally seemed to wake up from a dream, kissed the cards in his hand, and then asked with a silly smile: "Oh, by the way, was the surname of the Armed Forces General last night Yang?"
Shall we report to him in two days?"
"Nonsense! If you don't look for him, who can you look for?" Xiaodao had almost endured Wang Wu's idiotic questions. He curled his lips and said with hatred: "Yang Langjiang said it clearly last night: this time
Most of Yangzhou City's defenses have been destroyed. To pursue the fleeing thieves, we will have to rely on heroes like us! Humph, if we make some merit in the future, I guess, then I'm telling you, it's an official,
Instead of soldiers!"
"Oh..." When Wang Wu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed!
In fact, he was extremely satisfied to be able to join the Yangzhou Prefecture Army!
You know, in the early Tang Dynasty, although anyone could join the army as a soldier, those who joined were auxiliary soldiers, not government soldiers like them!
Government soldiers, auxiliary soldiers!
Although there is only one word difference, there is a huge difference in status and status, let alone serving as a soldier in the rich and peaceful city of Yangzhou! That is a good position that countless people have failed to grab!
Wang Wu closed his eyes and envisioned the scene of him wearing armor and showing off his power on the street. Suddenly he remembered something and asked Xiaodao: "Huh? Why do you need to perform meritorious service to be promoted? Can't he just become our official? Can't we?
Don’t you have enough merit?”
Hearing this, Xiaodao rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky. What does it mean to have a weak heart and a snake swallows an elephant? This is a typical example!
"Hey, brother, although the merits we have made may seem considerable, at that time, we were not from the imperial court! This merit cannot be recorded at all!" Xiao Dao explained to him earnestly.
Wang Wu still didn't believe it: "Really? But how come I heard that people all become high officials directly from their humble beginnings after making meritorious service?"
The knife was speechless. After a long time, he said helplessly: "Ahem... Brother, you will listen to less stories from storytellers in the future! From a white body to an official, that is a right that only a general and an emperor has. Our Yang
General Lang is only a junior official of the seventh or eighth rank. If you tell him this, do you believe you can scare him to death?"
"Only a general has this power?"
Wang Wu blinked and suddenly thought of Xiao Han, and then his mouth opened wide!
That's right! Isn't he just a great general? Moreover, he still owes him a reward that he hasn't given yet! It wouldn't be too much if I told him that he didn't want the reward and asked him to raise his official position.
!
Wang Wu was drooling over the idea of becoming an official, as if he had forgotten that Xiao Han's life and death were still unknown!
In other words, after seeing Xiao Han's magic, he never thought that something would happen to him!
How could such a powerful person die? With his weapons, even if a bull-headed horse-faced guy comes, he has to take a detour, right?
After experiencing everything before, Wang Wu's trust in Xiao Han now has reached a state of blindness!
He even believed that even if Xiao Han died and entered the hell of reincarnation, he could turn hell upside down like Sun Monkey and re-determine his life span in the book of life and death.
