In early spring, as the weather warmed up, the haze of war that hung over the head finally dissipated, and the entire Jiankang City was also warming. In particular, the improvement in people's livelihood has the greatest impact on people's livelihood and is the most directly felt.

In the past year, Jiangbei has been using frequent events, the democracy movement has almost stopped, and people's livelihood has also withered. After the beginning of the new year, the waterways improved slightly, and a steady stream of cargo ships from all over the world began to flow into the capital. There are huge markets in Jiankang City, and all kinds of goods are also abundant. Although prices are still slightly higher than in previous years, they are undoubtedly a sign that the situation is about to improve for the people who experienced last year's depression.

On this day, people entered the market to find that many of the shops had closed early, and after the experience of last year, there was no shortage of people who were shocked by this and asked: "Why is this the case in the city?" Could it be that something evil is happening again? ”

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

Some people who entered the market first, and when they heard some news, there was no shortage of people who said: "Later, I will hurry home and invite the children and neighbors to go out to greet them!" ”

"It is no longer possible to call Shen Hou, and the concubine is now the new Fengliang County Prince! Why is it closed to Jiangbei again? Isn't Moling and Jiankang bad? ”

"Go together, go together!"

The market was filled with such chatters and shouts, and the people who had had a little leisure gathered together and headed for Stone Town to the west.

At this time, the west of the city from the banks of the river, there have already been a large number of guards to defend here, the river side of the military ships cruise, the river surface to clear out a smooth waterway. From Stone Town to the water gate of the Qinhuai River into the city, a large number of people have gathered on both sides, and the guards are clearly swordsmen, guarding and maintaining order along the way.

A high platform has been erected under the stone town, and a large number of noble cars have arrived here. Just by looking at the specifications of the ceremonial guards displayed around those cars, it can be seen that at least several sect kings have been present, and there is still an endless stream of people joining.

There were good deeds in the crowd looking forward to identify who belonged to the drivers who went out of the city to greet them: "That one is the king of Pengcheng...... Gu Sanqi also came, and the one in the middle was Chu Zhongshu? And Wang Shangshu ......"

While the onlookers were talking, there were Taiwanese cars arriving at the scene one after another, and gradually the vicinity of Stone Town was already overcrowded, and then several Taifu arrived at the scene and could not even reach Stone Town, so they got out of the car and walked through the crowd far away.

The courtiers who arrived first hurriedly returned to greet them, ordering their families to turn their cars to the side of the road as much as possible to get out of the way. It's just that when they walked out of the crowd gathering circle, an unexpected figure appeared in the field of vision, Director Wang was walking down from the car, waiting to see the embarrassed looks of the people around him, he himself was indifferent, and smiled: "You are already the first, it seems that I am lagging behind." ”

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be even more embarrassed, they really didn't expect Director Wang to appear here. Others sighed more, in fact, it was not long before Wang Dao retired outside Taicheng, but it was only three months, and many ceremonies such as the New Year's sacrifice were absent before, and now when I saw it in this scene, I felt like a world away.

Wen Qiao belongs to the latter, and he arrived a little later than Wang Dao. When his car stopped outside the crowd, he happened to see Zhuge Hui's car on the side retreating to the rear, unwilling to collide head-on with Director Wang.

Wen Qiao sighed in his heart, got out of the car and changed to a chariot, and when he got on the line, he smiled at Director Wang and said, "Taifu, would you like to ride?" ”

"That's too real to bother."

After hearing this, Director Wang walked over and sat beside Wen Qiao. At this moment, the ministers stepped forward one after another and bowed their hands.

With the arrival of several Taiwanese assistants, almost half of the Taiwanese ministers have already gathered here. In fact, Taichung also has arrangements for welcoming Huainan and his party back to the capital, but today's arrival of Shen Weizhou in the capital is already the most important matter in Taiwan, and other people who are not involved are boring even if they stay in Taicheng, so it is better to come and take a look.

The time was getting past noon, and the ministers who came out to greet them were already sitting under the bamboo shed in order. At this time, the official Taiwan envoy arrived at the scene, this time Sima Chong, the king of the East China Sea, served as the Taiwan envoy to greet the edict, Jiu Han Luan, 100 people of the class sword opened the way, Bao Yu advocated the entourage, full of majesty.

After the East China Sea Wang Yijia arrived at the scene, including Wang Dao, Wen Qiao and other Taiwan assistants, they all retreated a little back to make room for the Yijia team. After all, they are private and not to be overpowered.

At this time, it was located on the top floor of a high-rise building in Xicheng, and Shen Chong had already taken the first step here, and was looking at it from afar by the railing. Although he is also eager to see his son for the first time, there is no rule for a father to go out of Guo Yingzi, so he can only watch from a distance here.

Although he was not present at the scene, Shen Chong also frequently reported who was present near Stone Town. Knowing that most of the Taichen went out to greet him, Shen Chong's smile became even more proud: "My son's great achievements are in the world, and the Jiangdong world can sit and enjoy peace, even if the city is full of people, it is reasonable!" ”

After noon, the huge building boat appeared on the waves of the river, sailing towards the other side of the river, and the outline of the building ship gradually became clear in the field of vision.

On the boat, Shen Zhezi had already changed into a new county official seal uniform, and the green pearl nine crowns. On his side, the attachés and subordinate officials who followed Huainan into the capital this time also wore their own uniforms and crowns, looking quite solemn.

This Huainan great achievement is amazing, and Taichung's reward is also worthy of this great achievement. In addition to Shen Zhezi, who was awarded the title of county duke, all those who were listed in the group were sealed. Similar to Shen Yun, Jiang Yu and others, there are more than 20 people who have been sealed by the old lords on their bodies. Yu Manzhi, Ying Dan, Xie Yi and other children of the family, many townspeople, pavilion marquis, Xiao Yuandong, etc., have no family assets to be ashamed of, and now they are all wearing Hou seals.

Huainan received a high standard of reward this time, even higher than the Su Jun Rebellion in the early years. After the rebellion of Su Jun was pacified, although there was no shortage of big seals, they were mainly concentrated in the current situation and distributed the profits of each family, and did not go deep into the group. This time, Huainan is up to the generals, and he has been sent to the army, and all those who have meritorious deeds are recorded, and even the children of military families who have been completely drawn from the ranks such as Mo Zhong have also accumulated merit and been sealed as the marquis of the customs.

Halfway through the river, the sound of cheering and restlessness of the people has been heard on the other side of the river, and the cries such as "the leader of the river" and "the king's order and virtuous ministers" are even more full of ears, and those who hear it are all excited.

At this time, Shen Zhezi stood up, straightened the belt of his robe, glanced at his subordinates who were nervous and nervous, and said with a smile: "The slave army is numerous, and it is not enough to be afraid. Now that he has returned to Jiangzuo, he has a great reputation, and there is a surge of affection, all of which my generation deserves, and there is no need to be cowardly! ”

When everyone heard this, although their hearts were slightly calm, but when they walked out of the cabin with Shen Zhezi, they looked at the black pressure on the opposite shore and almost couldn't see the edged head, their heartstrings tightened again, they became nervous, and their appearance became unnatural.

After all, not everyone is born with a big heart to deal with big scenes, and Yu Manzhi and other guys who usually have a prodigal posture are faintly pale after seeing the grand occasion on the other side of the river, and their tongues frequently lick their dry lips. As for Mo Zhong and the other warriors who fought in the battle formation, they all felt their legs and feet turn when they stood there. As for the Hu man He Laimiao, who was awarded the throne because of raising horses, at this time he was even more exaggerated with his hands on the bulwark, and he couldn't even stand on his feet.

When Shen Zhezi saw this scene, he also felt melancholy in his heart, this time he returned to the capital with the intention of boasting about martial arts, but as a result, few of the uncompetitive guys could cope with the big scene. Although the scene in Liangjun was not small earlier, it was still slightly inferior to the current capital, after all, Liangjun's foundation was weak, and it was far inferior to Jiankang. At present, if he lands on the shore later, and then the Minister of Taiwan Fu comes forward, if his subordinates here are so nervous that they turn in a row, then there will be no shortage of jokes among the people in the next year or two.

After a little muttering, Shen Zhezi ordered his own soldiers to bring up a batch of the Qihu captives escorted by the bilge, and instructed his subordinates to guard one by one. Sure enough, this method worked very well, and when a prisoner was held in his hand, the tension gradually dissipated, and there was no shortage of powerful people holding the captive, thinking about where to start the knife.

Finally, the building boat slowly docked, and the sound of boiling around the shore suddenly climbed to a new high, and the huge sound swept in, even shaking people's heads and eyes. The people on the boat simply stopped looking at the surging crowd on the riverbank, but just stared at the trembling captives beside them.

After the ship was completely stopped, Sima Chong, the king of the East China Sea, boarded the ship surrounded by the swordsmen of the class, and was startled by the appearance of the Huainan people on the deck raising their eyebrows one by one. After slowing down for a while, his eyes shifted to Shen Zhezi, who had already come forward, and his mood calmed down slightly, first nodded to Shen Zhezi, and then read out the official edict of reward, and then quickly stepped forward, helped Shen Zhezi who was kneeling on the ground, pulled his wrist and said with a smile: "Wei Zhouguo is extraordinary, this time the king has a great victory over Huaishang, Yu Nei is jubilant, and the great achievements of Wei Zhou Fuguo are really indescribable!" ”

Shen Zhezi smiled and exchanged a few words with the king of the East China Sea, and by the way, he introduced the Huainan subordinate officials behind him.

At this time, the atmosphere on the riverside had reached its extreme, and even the guards gradually couldn't control the jubilant crowd. As a result, the people of Huainan did not dare to get off the ship easily, fearing that the situation would get out of control even more. So the Taifu who had already arrived earlier boarded the ship one after another, and they all came forward to salute and praise the Huainan Wangshi, and they were all curious about the posture of the Huainan masses at the moment.

Shen Zhezi stood in the limelight, stepped forward and said loudly: "The younger generation is not the last to enter the river, if you are emotional, you are really worthy of the great reputation of the princes." However, there are many common sayings in humility, rather than holding this false opinion, it is better to be brave and praised, and live up to the reputation. The world is troubled, eloquence may have a thousand words, and there is only one way to do it. The king's life is added, but he wants to live up! Those who insult the Tao will be killed! Those who rebel against the country will be killed! ”

After saying that, he turned around, pointed to the Qianhu captives who were captured by a group of new Huainan princes and princes in the rear, and laughed: "The rebel thief may have a fierce flame that is rampant for a while, and it is a mortal fetus in the end, and it is difficult to bear the fierceness of a sword!" ”

"Lie!"

As soon as Shen Zhezi's words fell, his protégés Hu Run and Tian Jing were the first to react, suddenly pulled out their war knives, roared, and slashed down with their knives, and the head of the Hu suddenly fell to the ground. When the rest of the people saw this, they all swung their knives and slashed down, and suddenly dozens of Qihu captives were already in different places!

"Ah...... Yes...... Yes! ”

Wen Fangzhi's physique was not high, and he didn't stand in front of the queue, when he reacted, everyone else had already put away the knife, he waved the knife here, and let out a loud scream from his mouth, and slashed at the head and neck of the bearded captive, and the blood arrow shot into his mouth immediately, and the roar suddenly stopped.

He resisted the feeling of nausea and vomiting, turned around and wiped the bloody stains from the corners of his mouth majestically, and then looked at his Lao Tzu, who had a hidden evil gaze, standing proudly on the deck.

When Wen Qiao saw this scene, the roots of his teeth were faintly itchy, and his old fist subconsciously clenched.
