"Master, master! Something bad has happened!" The officer who reported the news crossed several thresholds and shouted in a panic.

Li Gao, the governor of Danzhou, and Li Shijun, Li Jia's cousin, were lying leisurely on the deck chair at this time. The autumn tiger had not left yet, and the weather was really boring.

In the few months from Yongzhou to Danzhou, Li Gao was extremely idle. Since the Han people in Danzhou had few household registrations, the most common thing he dealt with every day was the conflicts between the Liao people and the Han people.

And how much money did the Liao people have? The Han people did not dare to exploit them too harshly. After all, they needed the Han people to maintain their rule in Danzhou.

"Why is it so noisy?" Li Gao asked with a frown. Since coming to Danzhou, what he has been most annoyed by are those Liao people who refuse to obey discipline and do not pay taxes. Such urgent news is most likely about Liao people.

of.

"It's a big deal, it's a big deal, Master Jun! Those officials have gathered thousands of people and are rushing towards the city!" The yamen officer's face turned gray and he quickly knelt down on the ground, breathing heavily.

Li Gao took a closer look, wasn't this person the arrester he arranged for in the Yamen? After hearing these words, his face turned pale and he became a little panicked.

"Quick, hurry up and send someone to inform Li Dutou in the east of the city. Feilong can't be idle anymore!"

"Go and invite Huang Sima, Zhou Biejia, and Wu Changshi to come over and say that we have something important to discuss with you!"

After thinking for a while, Li Gao was still uneasy and quickly asked someone to go to the Yamen to gather the county magistrate and the policeman. It was important to guard the city gate first.

Then he remembered the Danzhou Army outside the city and hurriedly went to inform them.

"Your Majesty——"

"Your Majesty——"

Wu Changshi and Zhou Biejia arrived very quickly, presumably because they had received some news, so they rushed over in a hurry. The elderly Zhou Biejia, perhaps because they were in a hurry, turned pale and was breathing heavily.

"Where's Huang Sima?" Li Gao narrowed his eyes and asked coldly when he saw that there were two people under his hands, except for the unruly Huang Shan.

"Your Majesty, please don't mention him. Every time the officials come to attack him, he says he is sick and stays at the house to take care of his illness!" At this moment, Zhou Biejia calmed down. Without waiting for the Yamen servant to say anything, he

He spoke.

"Everyone in Danzhou knows that Huangshan is the leader of the Liao people. He belongs to him within a radius of hundreds of miles. He has the greatest prestige among the Liao people. There is no need to count on him."

"It also means that he has a share of the credit for the riots among the officials!" Hearing this, Li Gao's face became paler: "Doesn't it mean that we have powerful enemies outside and spies inside? This Danzhou City is full of people.

Death, only in a moment?"

"It's not hopeless!" Zhou Biejiao was old and solemn. He touched his beard and said seriously:

"My brother-in-law, there are no less than a thousand men outside the city, and there are hundreds of Danzhou troops. If we recruit some strong men, we will not be able to defeat those outside the city, but there is still hope to defend Danzhou City!"

As soon as these words came out, the people sitting there instantly felt a lot more at ease. Jiang is still very spicy, and he hit the nail on the head.

Then, Li Shijun took all the officials from the state government and the county government to climb the short and damaged tower and look into the distance.

At this time, thousands of Liao people, with disheveled hair, playing unique musical instruments, waving various weapons, rushed forward howling, dust rushed into the sky, wild beasts fled in panic, and all birds flew away.

Boundless and extremely terrifying.

"This..." For many years as an official, it was the first time for Li Hao to face such a scene. His eyes widened and his legs became weak. If it were not for the support of the government servants behind him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhou Biejia, an experienced and experienced man, quickly instructed the government officials and young men to start heating the soup, moving stones and huge trees, and at the same time supervising the Danzhou army that had not yet arrived and Li Langjun's escort outside the city.

"I never thought that the old fox would actually side with the envoy!" Listening to the news that the servant inquired about, Huang Sima Huangshan sneered. This time, he wanted this unworldly envoy to see who was in Danzhou.

, real control.

"Do those dock captains outside the city still have a lot of good stuff?"

"Don't worry, once we capture Danzhou, all this will belong to me, but I can't let those officials destroy my things!" Huang Sima said proudly:

"I sent someone to write a request for help and went to Qiongzhou. He told me that the envoys and government officials from Danzhou were all serving in the royal affairs except Huangshan. Sima Huangshan was not afraid of hardships and suffered heavy casualties, and finally returned to Danzhou.

Live up to the king’s kindness!”

So in Danzhou, a difficult defense battle began.

At this time, our Li Langjun also preliminarily concluded negotiations with the three major chambers of commerce in Qiongzhou. The specific content is nothing more than peaceful coexistence, everyone's rights and interests, exchange of needs, mutual respect, etc.

What matters most to Li Jia is that the Li Chamber of Commerce has the same power as the three major chambers of commerce, including Sihai, Luming, and Tongyuan.

For example, it has the highest power to set prices for grain, cloth, spices and other commodities, the right to sanction conflicts between merchants, preferential tax rates, and the right to unify merchants of all sizes in Qiongzhou.

The composition of these powers reminded Li Jia of later generations. Isn't this a replica of the stories of the five rogue states?

On the boundless ocean, under the gray-white sky, there are vast expanse of blue waves, and the red sun rises slowly from the horizon. At this time, the clouds and mist slowly disperse in the sky, a beautiful morning glow appears in the sky, and the sea water shines with golden light.

Standing on the bow of the ship, this is not the first time Li Jia has seen the sea, but he cannot see enough. Every decision he makes in life is not as good as the sea, which contains endless wealth and countless murderous intentions.

"Mr. Lang, look what this is? What a big fish!"

With these exclamations, Li Jia came back to his senses. He saw the calm sea surface, and suddenly the waves surged. A giant beast was hidden in the sea, revealing its huge and black back. Looking at it, people were stunned.

Get chilly.

Even though the ship under his feet was made of thousands of materials, it was still just like a toy, swaying from side to side. Li Jia held on to the side of the ship tightly and stabilized his body.

"This is a big fish! It's common in the sea!" An experienced sailor quickly explained, and everyone felt relieved.

"Whale, whale!" Looking at the water jets spraying out from the sea, Li Jia naturally knew that this was a whale breathing. It was the first time in decades that he was so close to a whale. It was really exciting.

Pfft——

Before Li Jia could be surprised for a moment, several huge spears, with ropes attached to the back, were shot directly at the breathing whale, but only one penetrated, and a large amount of blood came out, coloring the sea surface.

This behemoth in the sea did not fight back at the first moment. Instead, it quickly chose to leave as if it sensed danger.

However, there was a rope behind the spear, and the rope was fastened to the ship, pulling the ship away continuously. In the process, several more spears were hit, and the blood flowed faster and faster, and it took less than two days to swim.

Here, the giant beast has no strength and is at its mercy.
