Chapter 816 One Knife Fight

Chapter 816
It was early spring, and as the weather warmed up and the haze of war hanging over the head finally dissipated, the entire Jiankang City was also warming up.In particular, the improvement of people's livelihood has the greatest impact on them and the most direct feeling.

In the past year, Jiangbei has been busy, the pro-democracy movement has almost stopped, and people's livelihood has also declined.After the spring of the new year, the waterway has improved slightly, and cargo ships from all over the world have been entering the capital continuously.The huge markets in Jiankang City are filled with various goods.Although the price is still slightly higher than in previous years, it is undoubtedly a sign that the situation is about to improve for the people who have experienced the depression of the past year.

On this day, people entered the market and found that many houses and shops were closed early. After the experience of the past year, many people were shocked by this and asked: "Why is this in the city? Could something bad happen again? "

"What evil? It's a happy event, a great happy event! Marquis Shen is going back to the capital today, and everyone in the city is rushing to greet him!"

Those who entered the market first, and those who heard some news would show off: "I will go home quickly later, and invite my children and neighbors to come out to greet me!"

"You can no longer be called the Marquis of Shen, and the son-in-law is now the new duke of Liangjun! Why did you go to Jiangbei again? Isn't Moling and Jiankang not good?"

"Let's go together!"

The market was full of this kind of talk and shouting, and all the people who had a little spare time gathered together and headed towards the stone city in the west.

At this time, from the west of the city along the bank of the great river, there were already a large number of guards defending here, and the warships cruising on the river surface cleared the water surface of the great river into a smooth waterway.From Stone City to the water gate where the Qinhuai River enters the city, a large number of people from the capital have gathered on both sides. The guards have sharp swords and armor, guarding and maintaining order along the way.

A high platform has been built under the stone city, and a large number of nobles have arrived here.Just looking at the specifications of the ceremonial guards displayed around those cars, it can be seen that at least several emperors have been present, and there is still an endless stream of participants.

Among the crowd, there were eager people looking forward to identify who belonged to the drivers who came out of the city to meet them: "That one is King Pengcheng... Gu Sanqi is also here, and the one in the middle is Chu Zhongshu? And Wang Shangshu..."

While the onlookers were discussing, Taichen vehicles arrived at the scene one after another. Gradually, the vicinity of Stone Town was overcrowded. Later, several Taichen officials arrived at the scene and could not even reach Stone Town directly. They got off the car and walked past the crowd.

Those ministers who arrived earlier rushed back to meet them, and ordered their family members to turn their cars to the side of the road as much as possible to get out of the way.It's just that after they walked out of the crowd gathering circle, an unexpected figure appeared in the field of vision. Director Wang was getting down from the car. When he saw the embarrassment expressions of the people around him, he himself was indifferent and said with a smile: "Everyone is already a first-timer." , it seems that I am behind."

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed. They really didn't expect Director Wang to appear here.Others expressed a lot of emotion. In fact, it wasn't long before Director Wang retreated outside Taicheng, but it was only three months. Before that, he was absent from many ceremonies such as the twelfth lunar month and the new year. Seeing this scene now, it seems like a lifetime ago feeling.

Wen Qiao belongs to the latter, and he arrived a little later than Director Wang.When his car stopped outside the crowd, he happened to see Zhuge Hui's car retreating from the side, and he didn't want to collide with Director Wang head-on.

Wen Qiao sighed inwardly, got out of the car and changed to a walking chariot, and when he was on the way, he smiled at Director Wang and said, "Would the Grand Tutor be willing to ride together?"

"Then it's too real to bother."

Director Wang walked over after hearing the words, and sat beside Wen Qiao on the chariot.At this moment, the ministers stepped forward one after another, bowing their hands in salute.

With the arrival of several Taifus, almost half of the Taichens have gathered here.In fact, Taichung also has arrangements for welcoming the Huainan group back to the capital, but Shen Weizhou's arrival at the capital today is already the most important matter in Taichung. Even if other people who are not involved in Taichung stay in Taicheng, it would be boring, so why not come and have a look.

It was past noon, and the ministers who came out to greet him had already sat under the bamboo shed in order.At this time, the official Taiwanese envoy arrived at the scene. This time Sima Chong, the king of the East China Sea, served as the Taiwanese envoy and went out to welcome him with an imperial edict.

After Donghai Wang Yijia arrived at the scene, including Wang Dao, Wen Qiao and other Taifu, all retreated slightly to make room for Yijia's team.After all, they are present in private, and they should not take the lead.

At this time, it was located on the top floor of a high-rise building in Xicheng, Shen Chong had already arrived here one step earlier, and was leaning on the railing to look into the distance.Although he was also eager to see his son as soon as possible, but there had never been a rule for fathers to follow Guo Yingzi, so he could only wait and see from afar.

Although he was not present at the scene, Shen Chong also frequently reported who was there near Stone City.Knowing that most of the ministers went out to welcome them, Shen Chong smiled even more proudly: "My son has made great achievements in the world, and the world in Jiangdong can enjoy peace. Even if the whole city goes out to welcome, it is reasonable!"

After noon, a huge building boat appeared on the waves of the big river, sailing towards the opposite bank of the river, and the outline of the building boat gradually became clear in the field of vision.

On the upstairs boat, Shen Zhezi had already changed into a brand new county official uniform with a green pearl and nine crowns.On his side, the entourage and officials who followed Huainan into the capital this time also wore badges and tassels, looking quite solemn.

Huainan's great achievement this time is shocking to the world, and Taichung's generous reward is also worthy of this great achievement.Except for Shen Zhezi who was awarded the title of Duke of the county, all those who had a good report in the group were given titles.Similar to Shen Yun, Jiang Xun, etc., besides having old nobles on their bodies, there are more than [-] people who have been granted titles alone.Yu Manzhi, Ying Dan, Xie Yi and other descendants of aristocratic families, many of them were named Xianghou, Tinghou, Xiao Yuandong, etc., or had no family assets to rely on in the past, and now they all wear the seal of Marquis.

Huainan received a higher level of reward this time, even much higher than the Su Jun Rebellion in the early years.After the Su Jun Rebellion was put down, although there were many big seals, they were mainly concentrated on the distribution of profits among the various families in the current situation, and did not go deep into the lower ranks and the common people.But this time in Huainan, from the generals to the ranks, there is no one who has meritorious deeds recorded in the records, and even the sons of military households who were completely pulled out of the ranks, such as Mo Zhong, have accumulated meritorious deeds and been granted the title of Marquis of the Guannei. .

As the boat passed halfway across the river, cheers and restlessness from the people on the other side of the river were already heard. Shouts such as "the leader of the river" and "the minister of the king's order" filled the ears, and everyone who heard it was excited.

At this time, Shen Zhezi stood up, straightened his robe belt, glanced at the nervous subordinates around him, and said with a smile: "There are so many slaves, there is nothing to be afraid of. Now that I am honored to return to Jiangzuo, I will be honored." , even if there is a turmoil in the crowd, we deserve it, so don't be timid!"

When everyone heard this, their moods were slightly calm, but when they followed Shen Zhezi out of the cabin and looked at the dark and almost invisible heads on the opposite bank, their hearts tightened again, they became tense, and their appearances changed. It's not natural.

After all, not everyone is born with a big heart to deal with big scenes. Guys like Yu Manzhi who usually have a slutty attitude after seeing the grand occasion on the other side of the river now turned slightly pale, and their tongues frequently licked their dry lips.As for Mo Zhong and the other unparalleled warriors who fought in the battle formation, they felt their legs and feet twisting when they stood there.As for the barbarian He Laimiao who was granted the title of Marquis because of raising horses, now he was even more exaggerated holding on to the railing, and he couldn't even stand firmly.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi also felt melancholy in his heart. This time he returned to the capital to praise his martial arts, but it turned out that few of the unsatisfied guys were able to handle the big scene.Although the scene in Liang County was not small earlier, it was still slightly inferior to what is happening now. After all, Liang County has a weak foundation and is far inferior to Jiankang.This is already the case at the moment, if he lands ashore later, and the Minister of Tai Fu comes forward, if his subordinates are so nervous that they will turn around in a row, then the people in the capital will have a lot of jokes in the next year or two.

After pondering for a while, Shen Zhezi ordered his personal soldiers to bring up a batch of Jiehu prisoners escorted from the bilge, and ordered his surrounding subordinates to guard each one.Sure enough, this method was very effective. When holding a Jiehu prisoner in his hand, the tension gradually dissipated, and there was no lack of mighty holding on to the prisoner, thinking about where to strike the knife.

Finally, the building boat slowly approached the shore, and the boiling sound around the shore suddenly climbed to a new high point, and the huge sound wave swept over, even shaking people's heads and eyes.The people on the boat simply stopped looking at the surging crowd on the river bank, and just fixed their eyes on the trembling captive beside them.

After the building ship came to a complete stop, Sima Chong, King of the East China Sea, boarded the ship surrounded by Ban Jian soldiers, and was immediately taken aback by the angry faces of everyone in Huainan on the deck.After a while, his eyes shifted to Shen Zhezi who had already stepped forward, and his mood calmed down a little. He nodded to Shen Zhezi first, then read out the official reward edict, and then quickly stepped forward, Shen Zhezi, who was kneeling on the ground, helped him up, pulled his wrist and said with a smile: "Wei Zhouguo is extraordinary, this time Wang Shida won Huai Shang, the universe is full of joy, Wei Zhou's great achievements in assisting the country cannot be described in words!"

Shen Zhezi smiled and exchanged greetings with the King of the East China Sea, and introduced the Huainan officials behind him by the way.

At this time, the atmosphere on the riverside had reached its peak, and even Su Wei gradually couldn't control the jubilant crowd.As a result, the Huainan people did not dare to disembark easily, fearing that the situation would get even more out of control.So the Tai Fu who had already arrived here boarded the ship for the first time, and they all came forward to pay respects to the Huainan Wangshi, and they were all curious about the posture of the Huainan people.

Standing in the center of everyone's attention, Shen Zhezi took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "The younger generation is only a latecomer to Jiangbiao. If you use emotion theory, you really deserve to be honored by the grand ceremonies. However, there are many common sayings in modest words. It's better to be brave and praise, live up to the great reputation. The world is full of turmoil, eloquence may have a thousand words, and there is only one way to practice. The king's life is enshrined, but the only thing is to live up to it! Those who insult the Tao will be killed forever! Those who disrupt the country will be killed forever! "

After finishing speaking, he turned around, pointed at the Jiehu captives who were captured by a group of new Huainan princes and princes behind him, and laughed loudly: "The traitor may have a fierce flame rampant for a while, but he will eventually be a mortal, and it is difficult to bear it." One blow!"

"strong!"

As soon as Shen Zhezi finished speaking, his disciples Hu Run and Tian Jing were the first to react, suddenly drew out their sabers, roared, swung the sabers down, and the Jiehu head immediately fell to the ground.Seeing this, the rest of them also swung their knives and chopped down, and suddenly dozens of Jiehu captives were decapitated!

"Ah...ah...ah!"

Wen Fangzhi's physique is not considered tall, and he didn't stand in front of the queue. When he realized it, the others had already put away their knives, so he swung his knives here, and let out a loud scream from his mouth. At the head and neck of the Jiehu prisoner, the bloody arrow shot into his mouth immediately, and the roar stopped abruptly.

He suppressed the feeling of nausea and vomiting, turned around majestically and wiped off the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and then looked at his old man with a hint of unkind eyes, standing proudly on the deck.

Seeing this scene, Wen Qiao felt his teeth itch, and his old fist subconsciously clenched.

 There was a heavy thunderstorm last night, and there was a sudden power outage. I thought I was going to cross, but when I woke up, I had to update it. . .There are two more chapters tonight. . .
