After Fengyang rebelled, the magistrates of Fengyang Mansion sat guarding Fengyang Mansion. They wanted to keep Fengyang guarded tightly and wait for King Jian to start trouble, but they did not expect that King Jian would soon be exposed and captured.
The imperial soldiers and horses immediately gained morale and fought bravely against the enemy, losing many of the rebels' soldiers and horses.
However, these rebels still refused to surrender and had the momentum to fight to the death. Although the court could not capture the rebels for a while, these rebels could not make a big splash for the time being.
Xu Qingan is very satisfied with his performance.
After sneak attack on that village and killing many rebels, he felt proud and proud, although he looked a little embarrassed now.
Xu Qingan looked at his tattered clothes. If his sister saw this, she would definitely make him a few more clothes to comfort him. He decided to wear these clothes back to the capital, but... it was so cold outside, could he carry it?
The cold wind on the way was a problem.
Prince Xu frowned and thought hard. He went to the side to relieve himself and did a heroic thing. Even peeing felt comfortable. Now he was not inferior to others in any aspect. He was finally a dandy with military exploits.
Just as Xu Qingan was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a person walking beside him, and then...under his gaze, he peed even more powerfully than him.
Xu Qingan turned his head and looked over, and Zhao Tong's face came into his eyes.
What's there to show off? In a blink of an eye, I can surpass him. Xu Qing'an thought to herself: "I have killed countless enemies."
"How much?" Zhao Tong asked him seriously.
Xu Qingan was very grateful to Zhao Tong for coming to help, but this man was too ignorant and always argued with him about everything.
"Fifty or sixty at least," Xu Qing'an said, looking over, but did not see an admiring look on Zhao Tong's face, "It could also be eighty to ninety."
When Xu Qing'an said this, he felt that his martial arts skills were unparalleled and he was already in a state of ecstasy.
"Forty-seven," Zhao Tong said, "is quite a lot. Before we came, the prince could only hide around, and he can only officially kill the enemy in these two days."
Xu Qingan's eyes widened: "How do you know?"
"Military merit must be counted," Zhao Tong said. "There are rules in Quanzhou. Military merit cannot be falsely reported. I will calculate it carefully every time. Don't worry about this, Your Majesty. I will ask carefully and there will be no big mistakes."
Looking at Zhao Tong's appearance, Xu Qing'an felt that his overwhelming pride was extinguished. Xu Qing'an secretly made up his mind not to let this man return to Beijing with him.
"It's the New Year," Zhao Tong suddenly looked up at the sky, "Last year, we had snacks at the military advisor's house. It seems that the military advisor is not planning to come back this year. I don't know if I can see the young master this year."
"Yes," Xu Qing'an patted Zhao Tong on the shoulder, "I feel that Mr. Song will come to Fengyang. Just wait here. Mr. Song will stay with you this year."
A glimmer of light flashed in Zhao Tong's eyes. The capital was already stable. According to the previous rules, military advisors and princes would come to Fengyang to see the war situation. After all, further southeast of Fengyang is Yingtian Mansion and Changzhou. The situation in Fengyang in the southeast is very difficult for them.
important.
The young master will definitely come, and he will be waiting for the young master in Fengyang.
Xu Qing'an was overjoyed. Although Zhao Tong was very powerful, he was not his opponent. Zhao Tong believed him after just a few words.
He can finally get rid of this burden and happily go to Beijing to receive the reward. When the time comes, he will sit at home, hold a banquet, drink cypress wine, eat water and snacks, what a feeling...
He also made so much money that he could hang out on the flower boat all day long.
This Zhao Tong is pitiful, he wants to drink from the northwest wind here.
Xu Qingan just thought of this.
Zhao Tong said: "The Crown Prince will also be relied upon by the Southeast in the future. Without the Crown Prince, this time it would not have gone so smoothly. We have obtained so much money, and we will exchange it for a lot of armaments in the Southeast in the future."
etc.
Xu Qing'an felt something was wrong. Take it to the southeast? Didn't he snatch this? Why should he take it to the southeast?
"No, we risked our lives to get back this money." Xu Qing'an's face suddenly sank, and he looked at Zhao Tong with a stern look. Zhao Tong felt ashamed for a while.
"I'm sorry, Prince, I'm too selfish," Zhao Tong bowed and saluted Xu Qing'an, "I saw that the armor and weapons of the soldiers were not as good as those of the rebels. Thinking about their thin clothes and no sharp weapons in their hands, I wanted to
Take it away and prepare these for them. The prince should make the final decision on what he snatches. Whether it is used to buy seeds and distribute to the people, or whether it is used for armaments, it is the prince who has the final say."
Xu Qingan frowned and thought: "I think it is better to do half of the armaments. The soldiers have to fight the enemy. The things given by the court are not enough, and we cannot wrong them. You must know that good armor can buy a life, and you can make money again if you lose it.
, if human life is lost, then...
But we still have to leave some to buy seeds and distribute them to the people, so that we can plant some food in the spring next year, so that no one will go hungry."
Zhao Tong nodded repeatedly.
Xu Qing'an thought again: "Actually, the rebels' armaments are quite good. How about we go grab some more?"
Zhao Tong was a little moved: "But... the prince is leaving to return to Beijing. If he doesn't leave, I might not be able to make it in time."
Xu Qing'an thought about it carefully, and then looked at the soldiers gathered next to him to warm up by the fire. He smacked his lips and said, "If I hurry up a little more, I might be able to reach the capital."
Taoist Priest Qingling couldn't help but shook his head after listening to Xu Qing'an's words. He had seen a lot of scammers, but this was the first time he had encountered a master who deceived himself like Shi Ziye.
It seems that the Anyi Hou Mansion cannot wait for the prince to return for reunion.
In the early years, he had wondered why people like his senior brother were stuck in the southeast and couldn't get out. Now he seems to have found the answer, and... the people in the southeast seem to be really interesting.
Thinking of this, Taoist Master Qingling shook his head. He would return to Beijing as soon as possible tomorrow morning. Over the years, he had been staying in the Taoist temple during the New Year's Eve, lighting incense and reciting Taoist mantras. His heart was very peaceful. He didn't want to be like these people.
Just as crazy.
…
…
The war in Fengyang is not over yet. The imperial court has sent many troops but has not yet recaptured Fengyang from the rebels.
Fortunately, Beijing has stabilized.
The streets and alleys were filled with joy.
Xu Qinghuan was very surprised when he received the news from his brother. He did not expect that his brother would stay in Fengyang. Not only his brother, but also Qi Defang, Taoist Priest Qingling, and Zhenren Zhang did not come back.
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but shed tears. She was worried about her son. She had been out for so long and didn't know what she was like now.
"This is a good thing," Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "Qing'an has finally made progress. As a mother, you should be happy for him."
Mrs. Xu nodded and was about to speak.
"This unworthy man," came the voice of Marquis An Yi, "I will definitely break his legs when he comes back."
An Yihou almost crushed the letter in his hand. This unscrupulous man actually asked him for five hundred taels of silver. He also said it was for military merit. That was all. He also threatened him: "I heard that Zhang He will take all the money after he is imprisoned."
The blame falls entirely on his father, who certainly doesn’t want his son to become like Zhang He."
What's the meaning.
If he doesn't give the money, will this unscrupulous man prepare to destroy the family in the future?
"Bah." It's really unlucky to destroy relatives for the sake of justice.
An Yihou's heart was like thousands of horses galloping, and he had recorded this account for the unscrupulous man.
"No one is allowed to cry anymore," Mrs. Xu's face darkened, "Huan'er will get married after the New Year, and you should all be happy this year."
Marquis Anyi and Mrs. Xu responded hurriedly.
Xu Qinghuan stepped forward to speak.
Mrs. Xu looked over and said, "And you, don't be deceived by that boy who lives in the west courtyard." It's really unreasonable. That boy lived in the Xu family in a grand manner. Who gave him the courage?
