Ling Xin'an accompanied Eunuch Bai while drinking tea and eating snacks. It took more than an hour before she saw Gao Jie leading the Queen out. The latter had a smile on her face. Gao Jie handed the bag in her hand to Eunuch Bai and smiled.

He said: "This is the costume of the distinguished guest today, please bring it with you."

Ling Xin'an and Eunuch Bai followed the Empress out of the aristocratic costumes. The streets were still lively. The Empress, who was obviously very satisfied with the shopping, was still in a happy mood, so she spoke more unconsciously.

"How are you people trained?" the queen asked.

"Your Majesty, since we are providing services, we just have to do a good job of service and instill in them a sense of service." Ling Xin'an replied.

"Service? This word sounds quite novel." The Queen said.

"The service is reciprocal. As our No. 1 VIP, you paid the price, and we paid the equal value. This is service. For example, when we go to a restaurant to eat, we pay, the restaurant provides food and drinks, and the waiter greets us.

These are all considered services.”

"According to what you said, it really makes sense." The Queen said.

"Then why is your store so full of service?"

"Customers are the parents of food and clothing. Can we do the best we can? If we don't do it well, will the empress come back next time?" Ling Xin'an said with a smile.

The Queen was startled, then realized and spat: "You really are not a good person!"

Ling Xin'an smiled. At this moment, there was a sudden surge of people on the street. The three of them stood to one side, watching the people in front of them crowded in one direction, and couldn't help but look at each other.

"What happened?" asked the Queen.

"Old slave, go and find out!" Eunuch Bai bent down and said.

"Why don't you go over and see what's going on?" the Queen said.

"Mother, there are so many people, I'm afraid some undesirable elements may harm you!" Ling Xin'an said.

"Why are you worried about the safety of this palace now?" the queen said, and followed the crowd.

Ling Xin'an followed closely, and as the crowd moved forward, the voices of the people around her could be heard in her ears.

"I heard that a generation of water governor general came to Beijing to report on his duties!"

"General Water Governor? Who is it?" someone wondered.

"Why have you forgotten that pirates were rampant along the coast of Bianzhou and Ningzhou a few years ago, and it was General Shuidu who successfully resisted the pirates and wiped out many pirates?"

"Oh, are you talking about General Wu? He was summoned to the capital by His Majesty to report on his duties?"

"Of course His Majesty issued an order to summon him, otherwise who would dare to come to Beijing?"

"Why did you come to the capital with such fanfare? Does your Majesty want to promote the power of our navy?"

"No, it is said that it was requested by Yan Shangshu, saying that he wanted to promote the might of the Great Zhou Dynasty and destroy pirates. This matter should not be kept low-key!"

Everyone was talking about it. Ling Xin'an and the Queen suddenly stopped. The three of them looked at each other with disbelief. However, they were already standing on both sides of the road. The sound of horse hooves could be heard in their ears, and they saw the flag of the Great Zhou waving in the wind.

Feiwu, the main street has long been separated, a team of nearly fifty people riding war horses and wearing uniforms of the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty walked neatly on the street, with a cold momentum and a solemn expression.

Walking in the front and middle was a man in his sixties. Under his seemingly thin body, there seemed to be a beast of the deep sea dormant. He was Wu Guangxian, the first-generation Water Governor General.

Ling Xin'an's eyes flashed past and she looked at the other soldiers. They were all calm and murderous. They were obviously battle-hardened soldiers who had survived the test of war. Underneath their dark complexions were

It is made of sunlight, sea water and blood, and its eyes flicker from time to time.

"You are worthy of being my great Zhou man!" the Queen sighed softly.

"It's all down to your majesty, your Majesty!" Bai Gonggong said.

The Empress smiled slightly and stood looking at the soldiers slowly passing by with bright beautiful eyes. Ling Xin'an also looked at them with deep and unfathomable eyes.

The people on both sides were frightened by the powerful momentum of the navy and did not dare to show any more air, which was in sharp contrast to the noisy scene just now.

At this moment, two figures walked slowly from the front of the street. They were Ye Honglu, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Minister Yan Shisan. They looked at Wu Guangxian, who was slowly coming, and stood with a smile.

Seeing the two of them, Wu Guangxian immediately stopped his horse and came to the two of them, bowed and said: "I will see you two adults at the end!"

"Guangxian, you've had a hard journey!" Yan Shisan said before Ye Honglu opened his mouth.

"It's not hard for me to come all the way!" Wu Guangxian said.

"Look, you wiped out the pirates along the coast of our great Zhou Dynasty, and the people spontaneously came to pay homage to your name. This is because they are loved by the people!" Yan Shisan said again.

"This is what a general should do!" Wu Guangxian said without changing his expression.

"Okay, Mr. Yan, he is also my subordinate after all. If you are blocking me like this, do you want to greet me here?" Ye Honglu said.

"Haha, yes, yes, yes!" Yan Shisan said with a smile: "I have no right to interfere with the matters of the Ministry of War, so let's go, let's go!"

After that, he turned around and left. However, when he turned around and glanced at the crowd, he was startled. Looking at the three figures in the crowd looking at him, his face couldn't help but turn pale. He was about to take steps, but saw

When I saw the gesture of one of them, I couldn't help but be stunned, then I bent down slightly and turned around to leave.

Ye Honglu looked at the strange-looking Yan Shisan, followed his gaze, and was slightly startled. When he saw the gesture of the person clearly, he couldn't help but smile slightly, turned to Wu Guangxian and said: "Go to the Ministry of War to clean up first.

Report, follow me to the palace to see His Majesty tomorrow, but I didn’t expect that the news of your coming to the capital would be spread, and the people would come spontaneously!"

Wu Guangxian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Honglu and said calmly: "Sir, did the people really come spontaneously?"

…

The crowd slowly dispersed, and they saw the appearance of a generation of water governor generals. Today, there are a few more topics in various restaurants and teahouses in the capital. As for how General Wu will report on his duties, and what it will be like, the people of the capital don't need to speculate. They will know in two days.

, so the topic now is more about General Wu’s past achievements.

The empress did not expect to encounter such a scene here. Her happy mood was broken and she lost interest. She gave the order and headed towards the palace.

There weren't many topics of conversation all the way until they escorted the queen to the palace gate and watched the two of them enter the palace before leaving.

"Do you think that boy asked me to go out on purpose?" The Queen Mother said as she walked inside the palace.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to quarrel and speculate!" Eunuch Bai said thoughtfully for a while.

"I bought you with two bottles of liquor and a cup of peanuts?" the Queen said angrily.

…

Word spread quickly that Wu Guangxian came to Beijing to report on his work. This was the second major event that happened after Ling Xin'an returned to Beijing to report on his work. The reason why it was considered so grand was because on the day Wu Guangxian came to Beijing, although there were few people,

The momentum displayed made the people in the capital feel the strength of the Zhou soldiers like never before. Thinking of his past deeds, he was even talked about.

Then for some reason, people found out that he was in jail, and the news spread even more.

As the rumors spread more and more, some of the characters gradually surfaced, such as a certain big shot in the capital deliberately slandering someone in order to promote his relatives, etc. It is said that this big shot was someone who returned in triumph some time ago.

"Are you talking about Ling Shangshu?" Someone exclaimed!

"I didn't say, I don't know!" The man quickly waved his hand and denied it while looking in the direction of the palace.

The two people who both returned victoriously became the center of public opinion at this time.

For generals who came to Beijing from other places to report on their duties, the Zhou Dynasty had a fixed place to receive them, which was arranged by the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Wu Guangxian was a little tired. After his report, His Majesty did not commend him in court, but asked him to go back to the official residence and wait for him. This lasted three days. During these three days, people kept coming to see him. Among them, Yan Shisan Yan

The minister came most diligently.

Coupled with the public opinion in the capital during this period, he is not a fool and knows that he has become a pawn of something big shot in the capital.

Wu Guangxian was angry in his heart, but he didn't know where to vent it. Sitting in the courtyard, his face looked extremely ugly.

"General, why don't you submit a memorial tomorrow, saying that the water bandits have not yet been wiped out, so you must leave the capital as soon as possible. Once the bandits are suppressed, your Majesty will reward and punish you again!" The voice of the staff sounded, and the military staff sitting next to him sounded.

He was about the same age as him, with the same dark skin and gray beard. At this time, he was pouring a cup of tea for Wu Guangxian.

"Zijing, do you think I don't want to do that? When His Majesty issued the order to come to Beijing, I thought it was just a brief report on his duties. However, when the matter of coming to Beijing was exposed, it is not that simple now!" Wu Guangxian said.

Ma Zijing, an aide, also said at this time: "Of course I know, but now the capital is a place of trouble and trouble, so the best thing to do is for the general to leave as soon as possible."

Wu Guangxian sighed: "Why don't I think so, but you have seen that the people who have come and gone in the past few days have their own motives for doing things."

"General, what do you think our next move is based on what the Secretary of the Criminal Ministry just said?"

Wu Guangxian said: "We have been tied to a boat with others. At this time, no matter whether we are on or off, our whole body is activated. Now that I think about it, I was indeed reckless in my behavior back then!"

Ma Zijing smiled and said: "If the general is not such a general, how can the soldiers follow him to the death?"

After saying this, Wu Guangxian finally dispersed a trace of haze in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile: "It's just that the brothers think highly of Wu!"

"It's just that this place in the capital is the center of the whirlpool of power. You and I don't belong here. Now it's impossible to escape from this situation!" He sighed again.

Ma Zijing continued to pour tea: "Since the general can see so clearly, there is no need to worry too much. Don't forget, it was His Majesty who summoned you and me to Beijing to report on our duties. Naturally, there will be no crime of beheading us.

It's just a matter of asking questions. After all, pirates still exist. If you and I are removed from our posts, the flood has not been eliminated, and your majesty understands the righteousness, so I feel that you and I are safe. We are just caught by the flood and can't help ourselves.
