Zhong Xinhuan came to Yang Yan and said, "Brother Yang, is my father dead with the scriptures?" ”

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, and finally said, "Yes, the Zhong Sect Master died outside the city." ”

Zhong Xinhuan was stunned for a while, and after a while, a poignant smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said, "Brother Yang, you really didn't lie to me...... I ......" was just saying, when suddenly his whole body trembled, staggered, and fell into Yang Yan's arms.

Yang Yan was stunned, thinking that she heard that her father was dead, and she was emotional for a while, so she hurriedly reached out to hold her up, and said, "Xiaohuan, what's wrong with you." Suddenly found that her snow-white face was covered with a layer of blue-black, and exclaimed, "Are you poisoned?" ”

It turned out that after Zhong Xinhuan knew that Zhong Ziang was determined to die in battle, he also had a sense of life and death in his heart, and took a poison pill in his mouth in advance, and after confirming the news of Zhong Ziang's death from Yang Yan, he immediately bit the poison pill and committed suicide by taking poison. By the time Yang Yan found out, the poison pill had been swallowed by Zhong Xinhuan. At this time, Zhao Qianru, Gu Xueping, Tie Chenglin, and others outside the lobby could hear it clearly and hurriedly rushed in.

Zhong Xinhuan said: "Brother Yang, I can't imagine that before I died, I was... I'm glad to see you again, please...... Hold me tight, I can ...... It's satisfying to die in your arms......"

Yang Yan was sad for a while, seeing that the blue and black color on her face was getting heavier and heavier, he knew that he was irretrievable, Zhong Xinhuan's life only needed to be in a moment, when the big hugged Zhong Xinhuan tightly, and said, "Xiaohuan, it's my ......"

Zhong Xinhuan said: "No...... Brother Yang, I have never blamed you, it's really good to know you......" His eyes turned to Zhao Qianru and said, "Is this sister Brother Yang's sister-in-law?" My sister was so beautiful. ”

Zhao Qianru was also full of pity for this girl in her heart, grabbed Zhong Xinhuan's hand, and said softly: "Little sister, I am." ”

Zhong Xinhuan smiled slightly and said, "Very good...... It's good, only a beautiful woman like my sister...... Just...... is worthy of Brother Yang, I wish you husband and wife...... Love, White ...... Bald...... ......" her voice became lower and lower, and the word "old" finally did not speak, so she closed her eyes and fell silent.

At this time, a chaotic footsteps came from outside the hall, Wu Xi walked into the public hall and said: "Shuai, we have searched, and there is no one in the state government ......" He found that the atmosphere in the public hall was a little wrong, Yang Yan was still holding a woman in his arms, and couldn't help but say: "What's the matter, what happened?" ”

Only then did Yang Yan put Zhong Xinhuan on the ground, untied his wind, covered her, and turned to Wu Xidao: "He is Zhong Ziang's daughter, he committed suicide by taking poison, find a coffin, put her away, and bury her with Zhong Ziang." ”

Then Yang Yan ordered to send people to inform the people outside the city so that they could still return to live in the city. Soldiers were also arranged to maintain order in the city. After the capture of Qiongzhou, the last piece of land occupied by Manichaeism was also recovered by the Song army, so far, the rebellion lasted for nearly two years, and the Manichaean rebellion that swept most of Guangnan was finally basically calmed down, so Yang Yan also asked Chen Liang to write a ghostwriter, write a recital book to play the imperial court, and report this happy news.

However, although Zhong Ziang died, none of the other leaders in the Manichaeism were seen, and Yang Yan knew that they must have scattered and absconded, so while pacifying the people in the city and restoring order, he ordered Wu Xi to lead the people and horses out of the city to search around. He also ordered Cao Xun and Gao Zhen on the east and west routes to closely search for the absconding Manichaean remnants, and at the same time notified Li Gongzuo and ordered the fleet to patrol back and forth on the sea non-stop, and once they found suspicious people, they would be the first to catch them.

After ten days, more than 2,000 remnants of Manichaeism were killed or captured, including many middle and lower Manichaean leaders such as altar masters and incense masters, but other leaders such as Zhao Cao, Chen Ziming, Xiao Tinglan, Zhong Xinyu, Zhong Zhenxian and others were not seen.

Yang Yan also knew that although the search of the Song army was strict, it was impossible to have no loopholes at all, and all of these people had unique skills. However, fortunately, most of the basic forces of Manichaeism have been eradicated, although these people are all masters, but after all, they are lonely, and it is impossible to make waves like before.

Yang Yan now has other things, the affairs of Guangzhou and Dali are waiting for him to deal with, and it is impossible to spend it on Hainan Island like this, so it was decided to leave Chen Liang in Hainan for the time being to deal with the aftermath, waiting for the imperial court to send new officials to take office, and leaving the infantry army and the Guangxi army Shengjie army to help Chen Liang in Hainan, and let Li Gongzuo also leave a naval army. The rest of the people returned to Huazhou with him, making the next arrangements.

The next day, Yang Yan, Zhao Qianru and others boarded Shenzhou and returned to Huazhou.

In the cabin, when only the two of them were alone, Zhao Qianru said: "What are you going to do next?" ”

Yang Yan said: "Go to Guangzhou first, investigate Cheng Yuanzhou, and then give an explanation to Meng Lanjun, and then lead the army to Dali, and then turn back to deal with the pirates after the matter in Dali is over." ”

Zhao Qianru said: "Now Guangzhou's land and pirates have basically formed a delicate balance, but after you investigate Cheng Yuanzhou, the pirates will definitely be aware of it, and this balance situation may be broken, and you don't know how much time it will take to go to Dali, so what should Guangzhou do during this period of time?" ”

Yang Yan said: "I have also thought about this, after investigating Cheng Yuanzhou, Zhao Ruyu will take over as the governor of Guangzhou, and Yue Lin is also in Guangzhou, the two of them cooperate, I will leave a few more troops in Guangzhou, as well as Li Gongzuo's army, plus there are also Meng Lanjun among the pirates to surrender to our side, I want to maintain the current situation, just hold Guangzhou, and when I come back from Dali, it should still be possible." ”

Zhao Qianru nodded and said: "What you said is also reasonable, but I don't think it's too perfect, which means that during the time you go to Dali, Guangzhou can only stand still, which is too much." ”

Yang Yan also nodded, admitting that what his wife said was correct, and Zhao Qianru said so immediately, so there must be a solution, and said, "Then do you have a better way?" ”
