Instead, there was a look of astonishment on his face, as if he didn't hear what the servant said clearly, he frowned and scolded impatiently.
"How can you behave in a panic? Are you overjoyed or not? Three hundred thousand rebels are attacking Upper Valley Commandery. How can it be over just like that? If you dare to talk nonsense again, it will be strange if I don't punish you severely."
The servant quickly kowtowed and apologized. At the same time, his tone became more urgent and he defended himself quickly.
"Sir, I don't dare to talk nonsense. What I said is true. The war outside the city is really over."
"Those White Lotus Sect rebels were completely defeated by the Great Xuan Army led by Marquis Su and General Du. The three hundred thousand rebels were killed and captured. They were defeated and no longer posed a threat."
"There's another big thing. Great Xuan Marquis Su, who Great Xuan came to support, turned out to be the super strong person of Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level."
"White Lotus Sect's coach, Dugu Fengming, was also a Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level warrior. The two fought outside the city in front of all the soldiers. The result of the battle was that Dugu Fengming was defeated by Marquis Su with a knife and captured alive."
Wang Huai'an suddenly sat upright from the Taishi chair, his eyes widened, the look of astonishment on his face became more intense, and his whole body froze in place, as if Immobilization Technique had been cast on him.
After almost ten seconds, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the servant. His fingers trembled slightly and he asked in a stammering voice.
"What are you talking about? Marquis Su is also Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level. He also defeated... defeated Dugu Fengming who is also Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level? Three hundred thousand rebels... were completely defeated?"
The servant nodded quickly, like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Everything my slave said is true."
"Now the battlefield outside the city has almost been cleaned up, and the people have gone out of their homes to celebrate. This matter is being spread throughout Upper Valley Commandery."
"General Du has given orders to escort the prisoners back to the city and reinforce the city's defenses. Order in the city has been restored."
Wang Huai'an stared at the servant blankly. It took him a while to digest the news. The shock on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a look of shock and ecstasy.
I'm glad that I didn't rush to the White Lotus Sect, and I'm also glad that I stayed in the county governor's house and didn't cause any trouble. Otherwise, I'm afraid that my head would have been elsewhere by now, and I would have become a dead soul of the rebels.
What shocked him even more was Great Xuan, that Marquis Su.
This is Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level. In their Yan Kingdom, there is no Martial Saint in this generation who can break through the Celestial Person Realm.
Marquis Su Not only has he practiced to the Celestial Person Realm, he has also broken through to Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level. What a talent.
He can also defeat Dugu Fengming who is also Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level. This kind of strength and talent is something that only comes once in a thousand years, or even rarely in ten thousand years.
Wang Huai'an has been in the officialdom for many years, and is well versed in the principle that those who understand current affairs are heroes. Believing in the Tao does not mean being cowardly and incompetent, but knowing how to assess the situation, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Now, Marquis Su has defeated the rebels, and Upper Valley Commandery is so powerful that he is undoubtedly the most popular figure in Great Xuan, and it is also the biggest supporter for his ability to be a stable official in the future, or even go further.
He stayed behind closed doors before because the situation was unclear and he was afraid of getting into trouble.
Now that the war is over and Marquis Su has won a great victory, it is the best opportunity for him to take the initiative to show his goodwill and make friends with this peerless strong man. If he misses this opportunity, it may be difficult to climb up to him in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang Huai'an couldn't sit still anymore, stood up quickly, and gave urgent instructions to his servants.
"Come on, hurry up and change my clothes. Find my official uniform and put it on for me. The sooner the better. I have to go to the military camp in person to pay homage to General Du, and I also want to pay homage to Marquis Su, the Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level man!"
When the servant heard this, a look of confusion appeared on his face, he quickly raised his head and asked cautiously.
"Sir, it's already dark now, and besides, you... haven't you always said that it's not safe outside, there may be assassins, and no one is allowed to go out at will, and you are not allowed to leave the county governor's house even half a step? Why do you suddenly want to go out now and go to the military camp to see General Du and Marquis Su?"
"What do you know? You know nothing."
When Wang Huai'an saw this, he was so angry that he raised his hand and hit the servant on the back of the head. The force was not very strong, and he scolded him angrily.
"Idiot, this moment is the same as the other moment. Commandery Governor Ren was killed before, and the situation is chaotic. It is naturally unsafe outside."
"But now, the White Lotus Sect rebels who attacked the city have been completely wiped out by Marquis Su and General Du. Celestial Person Realm's Dugu Fengming have been defeated. The prisoners have all been escorted back to the city. Order in the city is also being restored. What else is unsafe?"
He paused, softened his tone, and added.
"Besides, Marquis Su won a great victory and shocked everyone. As the governor of Upper Valley Commandery, I should go to condolences the soldiers in person and pay a visit to the Great Xuan commander. This is my duty."
"Hurry up and prepare. If you waste time and make Marquis Su and General Du unhappy, I will definitely not spare you."
The servant was beaten so hard that he shrank his neck and cursed in his heart, but he spoke quickly.
"I understand, I will go right now. I will go find official uniforms for you and change your clothes as soon as possible. I will not waste your time!"
After saying that, the servant quickly stood up, turned around quickly and ran out of the study to prepare official uniforms and changing clothes for Wang Huai'an.
Wang Huai'an stood in the center of the study, carefully adjusting his clothes in front of the mirror, the eagerness on his face gradually faded away, and he was thinking in his heart.
He has already made plans in his mind, how to speak, how to show his kindness after meeting General Du and Marquis Su, how to make this Celestial Person Realm Ninth Level's Marquis Su remember him, and how to take care of him more in the future, so that he can be a stable official in this Upper Valley Commandery, and even take advantage of Marquis Su's strength to go further.
After all, in this Yan Kingdom chaotic world, if you want to live a stable life or even advance step by step, it is not enough to just stay behind closed doors. Finding the right backer and assessing the situation is the highest level of Daoism.
And that Great Xuan Marquis Su who defeated the rebels so powerfully was his most worthy supporter at the moment.
The night is dark and the moon is bright.
There are scattered lights on the streets of Upper Valley Commandery, and occasionally you can hear the footsteps of soldiers patrolling in the distance and the residual cheers of the people. The people of Upper Valley Commandery after the war.
Only then did I realize that stability is the most important thing.
Wang Huai'an was wearing a brand new blue official uniform, a jade belt around his waist, his hair was combed meticulously, and his face was full of respectful smiles. He was followed by two servants, each holding an exquisite wooden box, which contained a generous gift that he had carefully prepared. This was his gift to General Du and Marquis Su.
The group of people quickly walked out of the Sheriff's Mansion. Wang Huai'an changed his timidity of staying behind closed doors in the past. His footsteps were brisk and his eyes were eager. Along the way, he frequently urged the servants to leave quickly, for fear of delaying the time for their visit.
