The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 486

[Chapter 486 Gods help]

When the little boy heard that there were sweets to eat, his face was filled with a smile. He looked at the diners without any fear and said in his loudest voice: “It’s our Master Wang. Master Wang has won!”

The king’s division is naturally worth the troops of the imperial court.

It’s just that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were divided into two groups. Which one won?

“Child, tell me clearly, which king’s master won?”

“Yes, the king who went to the southwest to suppress the rebellion won, or the king who went north to defeat the barbarians won?”

Everyone looked anxious, asked somewhat impatiently.

The little boy looked at them and said with a smile: “Of course the King Master led by An Pingbo won! I heard that those traitors lost most of their lives without even seeing our King Master. They were trapped in the southwest. Yunzhou can’t even move!”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

The Wang division led by An Pingbo was of course the one that went to the southwest.

But

they heard that the total number of soldiers and horses was only 20,000, while the Mu rebels in the southwest had a full 100,000!

You must know that these 100,000 people are the elite among the elite. Even when facing cavalry, they will not be at a disadvantage.

Even if there is innate restraint between cavalry and infantry, twenty thousand versus one hundred thousand won’t win so easily or so quickly, right?

For a moment, all the diners looked at each other.

The diner who spoke before looked at the little boy and asked again: “Hey, kid, do you know how our master Wang won?”

The kid did not answer, but looked at the diner’s waist.

When the diner saw this scene, he was startled and understood immediately. He took off the money bag from his waist, took out three copper coins from it, handed it to the child’s hand, and said with a smile: “Little slicker, hurry up.” “

The kid put the three coins into his chest, shook his head with a smile, and said, “I don’t know.”

“Hey, you kid!”

When the diner heard this, he suddenly became angry and stretched out his hand. Just go and fight.

The child also reacted very quickly, took a step back, stretched out his hand to block it, and said at the same time: “I heard, I heard that it was only with the help of gods that our master won so easily!”

After hearing this, the diner extended his hand. Stopped in mid-air.

Gods help! ?

These people are all well-known merchants in the capital, or they are just scholars.

The sage said: You don’t say anything, but your strange power confuses the gods.

The meaning is very clear, that is, as a gentleman, you should not believe in ghosts and gods.

In fact, although in Chu State, people respect ghosts and gods very much.

But no one has really seen the so-called ghosts and gods.

The most recent thing I have heard about is related to ghosts and gods, which is the incident about the female ghost in white that happened on this street, or in Chunfeng Tower.

Of course, this rumor has been refuted by the government. The so-called female ghost in white is just a rumor spread by bored people. Therefore,

it is somewhat unconvincing to

attribute King Master’s willingness to win to ghosts and gods .

“Can I go?”

At this time, the little boy looked at the diner and asked.

The diner was thinking about something, waved his hand and said, “Go, go.”

“Okay.”

After the little boy left, the discussion in Chunfeng Tower became more lively.

There is no doubt that the focus of discussion is naturally the ‘good news’ that is being circulated outside.

“Brother Liu, do you think what the little boy said just now is true?”

“It shouldn’t be true. What do a few children know? They just listened to a few casual remarks from the adults in the family and took them seriously. They spread the word everywhere. It’s human nature.”

“But, after all, this matter involves the imperial court, so the Kyoto Prefecture didn’t send anyone to refute the rumors?”

“How can we refute the rumors? What’s more, the people in the Kyoto Prefecture are busy dealing with those merchants these days. But come here, where is the time to take care of these things?”

“That’s right.”

“I thought that this matter may not be as you said. The good news in the southwest was not spread by these children. Yesterday, I heard it. A friend who works in the Ministry of War mentioned

that our King’s Division had a great victory in the southwest! If

a child’s words are unbelievable, how about the words of an adult in the Ministry of

War

?

stand up.

The silence lasted for a moment.

Suddenly someone thought of something and said: “If An Pingbo can really stop the southwest rebels in Yunzhou, wouldn’t it mean that our court’s hope of winning in this war will be greatly increased?

Then we are in the capital’s house.”

At this point , but paused and did not continue.

However, even if the following words were not spoken, everyone, especially these merchants, understood them in their hearts.

Since An Pingbo was able to stop the 100,000 rebels with 20,000 soldiers from the court, then all the major towns in the north would be dispatched, and they would be able to severely defeat the Qiyan tribe. By that time, wouldn’t the price of the capital’s mansion be going up? How many times?

When everyone thought of this, they all fell silent. The expressions on their faces were uncertain, and they didn’t know what they were thinking.

Most of the people who can eat in Chunfeng Tower are famous merchants in the capital, or they are wealthy families with some assets in their ancestors. Naturally, there are many mansions in the land of Gyeonggi.

It turned out that because the war had just started, almost all of them had listed their mansions at Yaxing, thinking that they must sell them even if they lost money.

However, the situation today has changed.

The imperial court’s hope of winning has greatly increased. Doesn’t it mean that the price of this mansion will definitely rise? Then someone

thought of this and couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up from his chair. He bowed his hands to the diners, forced out a smile, and said: “I suddenly remembered that there are still some things at home that I haven’t dealt with.

Have a good meal and a drink, I’ll take a step first.”

After that, he took a photo of a banknote and turned around .

He walked outside Chunfeng Tower without stopping at all.

“What a coincidence, I have a lot of things to do at home, so I won’t accompany you all. I’ll go ahead and say goodbye.”

“Yeah, I suddenly remembered that my wife is going to have a baby today. It’s bad, it’s bad.”

Next to When the diners saw this scene, they also came to their senses one after another, found various excuses, got up and left.

Suddenly, there were only a few literati in robes left in the entire Chunfeng Tower.

They sat there one by one, staring at each other, a little confused.

I can’t understand at all why so many things happened in these people’s homes just after the good news from the court came.

What is even more incomprehensible is that some people leave in a hurry because their dog is about to give birth to puppies.

It’s really strange.
