The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 863 850 Two:
The magistrate Niu saw that there was indeed nothing to do with his group of people here, so he bowed his hands at the crowd, and then led Duan Wuji and Tie Niu back to the city.

Back in Ningzhou City, the magistrate Niu hurriedly ordered someone to set up a banquet for the evening!

Duan Wuji and Tieniu had nothing to do, and the two went back to the house to practice their internal skills.

When the sun was about to set, the two of them finished their practice and walked out of the house!
Seeing the two people coming out, the Niu magistrate hurriedly said with a smile: "You two imperial envoys, you have really worked hard today.

Today, I set down the celebration wine, no matter what, let's have a few more glasses of him today!

I used to think how difficult it is to get rid of this sea beast!It turns out that removing them is so simple!

Those who are difficult will not, and those who will meet will not be difficult.

The two imperial envoys, hurry up and follow me!Those officials are waiting for you in the lobby.

If you two don't go, the banquet won't be held. "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu followed Zhifu Niu to the lobby, and saw that the banquet had already been set, and those officials were sitting aside and waiting.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu were not polite, they went to the main table and sat down!
Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Everyone, hurry up and take your seats!
Don't just stand there in a daze, what's that like if you don't eat this banquet? "

After Duan Wuji said this, the officials stood up and took their seats one after another.

Niu Zhifu looked at these officials and said: "My colleagues, let me tell you some good news.

Today I took two imperial envoys to the seaside, and the two imperial envoys slaughtered seven sea beasts on the beach.

The other sea beasts were frightened and all ran away.If they don't appear in this sea area within a few days.

That means they have already fled away. Once this sea beast disappears, our area will return to calm.

Today I brought you together to tell you the good news.

The local fishermen said that they wanted to build a temple on the beach where the imperial envoy killed sea beasts to honor his merits!

After ten days or 20 days, it is estimated that the temple will be completed.

At that time, you can all go and visit it. You have never seen the huge sea beast, but you can visit the huge bones of the sea beast when you go.

The imperial envoy has already given him a name for that temple, and that name is Fishbone Temple.

The entire temple was ordered by the imperial envoy to use the bones of the sea beast to build it.

After the temple is completed, it will definitely become a good place for those who are worth seeing in our area! "

When the officials heard this, they all praised the imperial envoy for his wonderful idea, which was really different.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, don't talk about these useless things, I think we should have dinner!
Mr. Zhifu, you can send people to the seaside to inspect and inspect in the next two days.

See if there is such a huge sea beast in that place!

If not, then we should be on our way.

If so, let's find another way! "

At the banquet, everyone exchanged cups and ate and drank happily. Let's celebrate today's great victory together!

After drinking and eating, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu went back to the small courtyard where they lived. From then on, the two of them lived in this government office with peace of mind. During the time, both of them are hurrying to practice!

That is really day and night, non-stop penance!

Time flies, seven or eight days have passed, Duan Wuji and Tieniu seem to be fine, they don't care about the outside affairs!It seems to have forgotten everything.

It wasn't until this afternoon that Niu Zhifu came back from his trip, that Duan Wuji went to find him.

Duan Wuji looked at Niu Zhifu and asked: "Master Zhifu, so many days have passed, are there still sea beasts haunting the seaside in our mansion?"

"It's gone, it's gone a long time ago, I've been worrying about this all day long!

Mr. Imperial Envoy, to be honest, those fishermen went into the sea the next day, and they went through the wind and rain all day, so everything was fine.

Nothing has happened for so many days, everything is quite smooth!

From the looks of it, there should be nothing wrong with me here. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well! It's good that there's nothing wrong! Since there's nothing wrong here, let's go on the road tomorrow morning."

"Master Imperial Envoy, could it be that I'm not taking good care of you as an officer!

You said why are you walking in such a hurry! "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"We have been here for a long time. We have important responsibilities, so we won't stay here any longer. We just stay in one place, so what can we do? We still have a lot of places we haven't visited yet. Well, how can this work?

If the emperor knows about this, once the emperor blames him, it will be troublesome!

It's summer now, and the weather is hot. To be honest, we don't want to go out now.

However, what can be done about this!

Who told us to be officials in the court? Being an official is not free, and being an official is not free!

Well, let's not talk about those useless things, our buddies will be on our way tomorrow morning! "

"Well, that's fine, then I'll leave immediately and notify your guards so they can get ready to leave tomorrow morning!

Imperial Envoy, you wait, I will order someone to prepare a banquet for you in a while, and tonight, I will set up a wine inn for you. "

After speaking, the magistrate Niu immediately went out to make arrangements.

Duan Wuji had nothing to do, so he went back to his own yard.

More than an hour later, when the sun was about to set, the prefect of Ningzhou came again.

"You two imperial envoys, the banquet has been set, let's go, follow me to the banquet!
The officials are there waiting for you two! "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu followed Zhifu Niu to the lobby, and saw that all the officials had arrived, and they were all waiting.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu were not polite when they came, they sat down on the main seat.

Duan Wuji said to the officials: "Everyone, hurry up and take your seats. Today we have enough to eat and drink, so you don't have to be polite!"

The Niu Zhifu said loudly: "Everyone, the imperial envoy is leaving tomorrow, come on!
Let's respect the imperial envoy with a bowl of wine! "

All the officials took up the wine bowl together.

"You two imperial envoys, please drink this bowl of my daughter's red wine!

I wish the imperial envoy a bright future and every step of the way! "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu stood up at the same time.

"Thank you, everyone, since the adults are offering us this farewell wine, then our brother must drink it!

bring it on!Let's all do it!
Our brothers also wish you all the best and happiness with your family! "

I drank bowl after bowl of this wine, and the more I drank, the more excited I became!The banquet was noisy with eating and drinking until after the lamps were lighted, the banquet ended.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu returned to their own house, and they fell asleep early.

In the morning of the next day, the two of them got up early, packed up their things, and found that there was nothing left, so they walked out of the house.

The two hurriedly had breakfast in the dining room, and then walked straight to the outside of the yamen.

The two walked out of the gate of the yamen and saw that the magistrate Niu led the officials and was waiting at the gate of the yamen with their horses.

His two horses had already been pulled out, and the big sticks were all hung on the bird's wing ring.

The two got on their horses and ran towards the south gate accompanied by these officials.

After leaving the city, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu saw the cavalry they were leading were waiting not far in front, they both reined in their horses at the same time.

"Prefect Niu, you can send it here! Our two brothers are leaving now, let's get along again when we have a chance.

Magistrate Niu, when you see him, the magistrate of Hangzhou greets him on behalf of our two brothers!

Here we go. "

"Second adults, that's for sure, don't worry, I will never forget what you told me."

Duan Wuji and Tie Niuniu turned their horses and chased after the cavalry they led, until Duan Wuji and the others disappeared, the prefect Niu led the two officials back.

After Duan Wuji and Tieniu caught up with their own cavalry team, they led the cavalry straight to Fujian.

The weather was extremely hot along the way, and the speed of the people's marching was not very fast. They only walked forty or fifty miles every hour, and that was stop-and-go, and they often found a tree to rest for a while. ah!

In this way, it will take about three hundred miles a day!Five days later, the team rushed to the vicinity of Fuzhou City just as the sun was westward. As soon as they saw the shadow of Fuzhou City in Nazhou, everyone in the team became excited.

The arduous journey in the past few days has already exhausted everyone.There are many mountains and rivers in this Fujian area, and the roads are extremely difficult to walk!Although this journey is not too far away, it takes a lot of effort!

In addition, the cavalry brought by Duan Wuji and the others are all northerners, and they are extremely uncomfortable with the hot and humid environment in the south.

As soon as they saw the shadow of the city, these soldiers knew that there would be absolutely no problem in staying in this place for three days or two.

The prefect of Fuzhou received the letter a few days ago, knowing that the imperial envoy was going to arrive at his Fuzhou prefecture. In the past few days, the prefect of the prefecture told the prefects in Fujian to step up their efforts to deal with the backlog of cases and find the dew holes in the work. ah!

These people all know that once the imperial envoy catches some pigtails, it will not be a big deal.

Wuji and Tieniu are both military generals during this period. They have led troops for many years, and they are also very decisive people in doing things!

Once something bad happens and let them know, they will be dismissed from office at least, and beheaded at worst!

This imperial envoy patrols the world, which has never happened in many years!

Therefore, officials at all levels are very nervous!

As soon as Duan Wuji and the others arrived near the city of Fuzhou, the prefect of Fuzhou received the letter. Although the prefect of Fuzhou was prepared, he was quite frightened!

The prefect of Fuzhou led all the officials in the prefecture to pick him up from the city in a hurry.

These officials came to Duan Wuji and Tie Niu's horses and were about to kneel and kowtow, but Duan Wuji and Tie Niu had already helped them up after jumping off the horses.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Master Zhifu, colleagues, you don't need to be too polite, we have arrived at your place, you go out of the city to greet us, our buddies are touched enough, why are you begging so blindly!

All these obeisances and obeisances have wiped out the feelings. What good is this?

All right, all right, stop begging, let's stand and talk. "

When Duan Wuji said this, those officials got off their donkeys along the slope and stopped paying homage!
When these officials saw Duan Wuji being so approachable, they couldn't help but feel kind from the heart!

Duan Wuji and Tieniu led the troops and followed these officials to Fuzhou City.

The city of Fuzhou is not too big, and the city wall is about five or six miles long. The city wall is not too tall, and the city's four gates are wide open, and people of all kinds are constantly coming in and out!

When Duan Wuji saw that this place was not bad, he quickly said to the Fuzhou prefect: "Master prefect, it seems that you manage Fuzhou city well!

It is really a great blessing for the common people to be able to govern like this! "

The magistrate of Fuzhou was very happy when he heard that the imperial envoy was praising him.

"My lord imperial envoy, thank you for your compliment. I only have such a little ability as a junior official. We can't do it if the management area is too large. How can we manage such a mansion? I think I can handle it carelessly!

Imperial envoy, let's go, follow me into the city. "

After entering the city, Duan Wuji saw that the street was well managed, there were many shops on the street, pedestrians were constantly coming and going on the street, and all businesses seemed to be thriving.

The things sold on the streets of Fuzhou are quite different from those in the north, some things Duan Wuji and Tieniu have never seen before!

So the two walked forward, looking left and right while staring at the streets on the left and right.

After walking half a mile forward, the prefect of Fuzhou said to an official next to him: "Magistrate Huang, take all these soldiers brought by the imperial envoy to the barracks.

Tell the battalion in the barracks that these cavalry are all the guards of the imperial envoy, let him take good care of me, but don't let him cause trouble for us! "

"Yes! Mr. Zhifu, I know about this matter, you can leave this matter alone, I will explain these matters clearly."

"Well, then you guys go!"

After listening to Niu, Duan Wuji turned around and said to Cao Qiubao: "Brother Cao, we don't have anything to do here, so you can lead your brothers to follow Huangzhi County!
Let me tell you, don't ask for any special exceptions!

Let's not do that illegal thing, let's be a well-behaved soldier! "

Cao Qiubao nodded.

"Brother, don't worry, I have been in the army for so many years, don't I even know this!

Don't worry, we people will never discredit you. "

"Well, then you go."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji and Tieniu urged their horses to go straight to the magistrate's yamen.

When he got to the gate of the magistrate's yamen, he got off his horse, and more than a dozen guards rushed over and led the horses of Duan Wuji and Tie Niu to the yard where the horses were raised.

The magistrate of Fuzhou said with a smile: "My lords, let's go, follow me into the government office."
