After Nalan Yunxuan caught up with the army in Yuzhou, he suddenly ordered to stop the advance and turned to run towards Xuangang Town of the Yueshi.

The reason why he chose to march from here was because most of the soldiers in Daqi who were familiar with boat warfare were taken away by Ma Haoxuan, and the remaining defenders had no experience in water warfare.Although it was his first time on the battlefield, he was not stupid, and naturally he would not hit a stone with an egg.

Nalan Yunxuan led an army to attack the Yue clan, which caught Ma Haoxuan by surprise. He hastily recalled the troops sent to Dingyuan Town to rescue them, and personally led the main force to fight.

Two days later, the two sides fought near Xuangang Town. Xuangang Town is a hilly area that can be attacked and defended. This is also the only land border between Yuezhi and Daqi.

Xu Yuanqi and others who were ordered to guard Longtan Town had already received the order to ambush the Yuezhi army that had withdrawn from Dingyuan Town at sea.

Soldiers in armor walked around everywhere on the street, adding a sense of tension to the always peaceful seaside town.

Until this time, the people in Longtan Village really felt an unprecedented sense of fear and crisis. The men were sitting in tents in the open space near the Town God’s Temple, talking passionately about the battle, while the women brought the old people and children to live. In houses provided by the government, such as Jingxin Teahouse and Seafood Restaurant.

Although the people in the three coastal villages have evacuated to the town, the Jingxin Teahouse and Seafood Restaurant are not so crowded, because most of the people who have relatives and friends in the town have gone to relatives and do not live in the town, such as Wang Dahai , because his father-in-law's family lived on the west side of the town, so he didn't have to move.So the family lived in his father-in-law's house.

Only the few remaining families who have no relatives to turn to live in houses arranged by the government.

The county government of Longtan Town.

From time to time, people came in and out, and there was an endless stream of carriages and war horses.

Everyone is in a hurry.

In the main hall, there was a silence.

"If the [-] troops sent by the Yueshi to Dingyuan Town are going to return, they will definitely pass through Qianjiao Island, so it is best for us to set up an ambush on Qianjiao Island." Xu Yuanqi said, looking at everyone with a solemn expression. "We must delay them. If we delay for one more day, Prince Rong and the others will have a little more chance of winning. Therefore, the burden on our shoulders is no lighter than that of Xuangang Town."

In the past two days, he was too busy to sleep well.His eyes were bloodshot. Although the court had sent someone to supervise the battle, as a local official, he had to be more cautious.

"My lord, if they take the water route, it's okay. But if they change the road, wouldn't we be busy for nothing?" One of them asked suspiciously.

"No. Don't forget, if they take the dry road, they will meet Mr. Qin, so they will definitely take the water!" Xu Yuanqi said without doubt.

When everyone heard the words, they nodded in agreement.

Lu Zhixian sat there with a sad face, watching Xu Yuanqi calmly discussing the military situation with the generals.Immediately felt extremely depressed, God is sorry.He managed to spend money to manage relationships, and then he was reinstated as an official. Who knows, just as he took office, he encountered war chaos.

He is a literati, he would get dizzy on a boat, if he is allowed to participate in this ambush at sea, wouldn't it be a joke!

Besides, the magistrate is also the same, the imperial court has sent people to supervise the battle, so just listen to others, so why bother.

Holding the teacup in both hands, he looked at the undulating tea leaves inside, and couldn't help being upset. He just wanted to get up and go out to get some air, but Xu Yuanqi stopped him with his sharp eyes: "Master Lu, I will leave the affairs of the town to the Lord during this period." , the daily living and transportation of the folks in the three villages that have been evacuated from the town, as well as patrolling and security, adults must do it by themselves."

"Master Xu, don't worry, these are matters within the duties of the lower officials. The lower officials must try their best to be inspiring, to live up to the entrustment of the imperial court, and to live up to the expectations of the common people." He just went out to sea to kill the enemy.

"En." Xu Yuanqi responded calmly, then turned his head to exchange greetings with the generals beside him.

Lu Zhixian stood up respectfully and retreated.

As soon as he returned to the backyard, he saw Zhao Ziliang sitting leisurely in his study drinking tea, as if he was waiting for him.

"What are you doing here? Is there something wrong?" When Lu Zhixian saw him, he frowned impatiently. It's so chaotic outside, why don't you stay at home, why run around?

"What? I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do?" Zhao Ziliang raised his eyebrows. Seeing his preoccupied look, he shook his head, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and smiled indifferently, and said with a light smile, "Brother-in-law, we are not outsiders. There is no need to talk around in circles, there is an opportunity to make a fortune right now, do you want to do it?"

"I said, was your head kicked by a donkey?" Lu Zhixian sat down, poured himself a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and said disdainfully, "It's so chaotic now, you still have the mood to do business, I say you should save yourselves! Take care of your shop, your wife and children, and wait until the war is over before talking about business!"

"Brother-in-law, isn't it just a war! Don't worry, just rely on Yueshi's two moves, rely on Ma Haoxuan and the 10,000+ army, can we turn around? Humph! It is a matter of time before they are defeated. Besides, our business depends on What about the war! If the war is over, what business is there to talk about!" Zhao Ziliang looked at him, looked around, and said calmly, "Now there are wars on both sides of Daqi, and there must be a lot of weapons, Yuezhi The people over there have already come to the door, saying that they need a few partners to complete this matter, they will provide the money and materials, we just need to find a shop to order!"

When Lu Zhixian heard this, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Privately producing arms is a capital crime, you don't know that! Besides, all the weapons used in war come from the armory in the capital, what are you thinking all day? You are really capable of tossing around with ammunition again! My brother-in-law advises you to live in peace for a few days!"

"Businessman! What's wrong with making money, what's the matter!" Zhao Ziliang rolled his eyes and said, "The Huatuanjin was an accident at the beginning, if Mr. Hua hadn't disappeared suddenly, wouldn't my business still be doing well? "

"Forget it. Don't mention the bad things about Huatuanjin, because I don't want to hear it!" Hearing this, Lu Zhixian waved his hand impatiently. What! If you dump flowers and brocades, you will lose some money at worst, and if you dump ammunition, you may even lose your life!"

"Brother-in-law, why do I think you're getting more and more timid? Why don't you just be a seventh-grade sesame official! As for you!" Zhao Ziliang reached out and picked up the teacup, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said again, " This tea set, I gave it to you a few years ago!" How about it?A good thing is a good thing, and it will last ten or eight years.Still on the grade! "

"I finally turned around, but I don't want to be troubled by you again. Right now, I just hope that the war will pass quickly. I will be my official, and you will be your business. Let's not interfere with each other." Lu Zhixian naturally heard the meaning of his words, sneered. "You don't need to provoke me, I have lived most of my life, and I know what I should do and what I should not do!"

"Since my brother-in-law is not interested in this matter, then I won't obstruct your eyes anymore, but I will have to rely on my brother-in-law's care in the future." Zhao Ziliang smiled, and slowly took out a bank note and put it in front of him .Said, "We won't be too obtrusive. But I also hope that my brother-in-law won't hold on to it. Sometimes, it's better for people to live a little more confusedly."

When Lu Zhixian heard the words, he smiled faintly, grabbed the bank notes on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty just explained that I am only responsible for the daily living and transportation of the villagers in the three villages that have been evacuated from the town, as well as patrolling and security. Of course, I won’t bother with other things!”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Boss Hao stood at the door, heard the conversation between the two, and frowned slightly. He heard the sound of someone getting up inside, and quickly walked out the door. He stood at the door for a while, and walked in again. Lu Zhixian came out with a smile on his face, and hurriedly greeted him, and saluted Lu Zhixian: "My lord, Mr. Xu asked you to come over and said that I have something important to discuss with you!"

"Since Mr. Lu is on business, let's meet again at another time and say goodbye!" Zhao Ziliang looked at Boss Hao with disdain, turned and walked out of the courtyard.

Because of the joint contracting of the fish market last year, the two turned against each other, and they have been indifferent until now. As for the specific reason for the invitation, they can't say anything.

It seems that partnership business really cannot be done.

"My lord, please!" Boss Hao smiled disapprovingly, ignoring Zhao Ziliang's attitude at all. For more than a year, although the magistrates in the yamen have changed, he has been staying in the yamen as an errand. With practice and experience, he is no longer the supercilious gangster in the fish market back then, but a calm and capable catcher in the county government.

It was noon.

The hall of the Seafood Building was full of people, very lively.

The common people living here are all queuing up to cook food. Although there are many people, there is no chaos at all. The cooks here are all women from the village. It is probably the first time that they have cooked meals for so many people. , either light, or salty.

It caused the men to complain for a while, and they didn't do anything all day long, and they couldn't even cook well.

The old people looked tolerant, laughed and said, eat lightly, eat salty, and eat salty, as long as you are not hungry!

Lin Xueman leaned quietly on the railing on the second floor, watched the noisy scene, smiled, turned and went back to her room. She has been living here for the past few days, because when Xu Quanyou left, she once told He and she are waiting for their news here.

Now that the crisis in Dingyuan Town has been resolved, it's time for Xu Quanyou and the others to come back.

"Ma'am." Just as she was thinking, Lin Xueman heard someone talking behind her, and hurriedly turned her head to see that it was Boss Hao's daughter-in-law, Yu Guiniang. He smiled and said, "Ma'am, pack up your things quickly and live in my house. My boss has already said that you can't let your wife live here, you can live in my house. In the past two days, I have specially cleaned up the house at home so that my wife can live comfortably." Get comfortable!"

"Thank you sister-in-law, it's fine for me to live here, so I won't bother you at home!" Lin Xueman smiled, "There are so many people here, besides, I can't live here for a few days!"

"No, madam must go." Yu Guiniang stepped forward to hold her arm, and whispered mysteriously, "My boss said that as long as you come to my house, he will tell you something very important (To be continued.
