Turbulent Times Chapter 960: What a heavy snow (fifth update)
Xiang Xiang smiled, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, I think Dou Shihai and the others see me as a little girl by your side, so they probably think that we didn't notice it at all."
Wang Junlin smiled, and was about to say something, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dou Shihai approaching them, he turned his head to look.
"It's a great honor for the prefect to come here, I'm very honored!" Dou Shihai said enthusiastically before Wang Junlin got off his horse.
"Old General Dou guards the sea area of our Fanyang County. A few days ago, he wiped out the Snake Island pirates who invaded our Fanyang County. This officer should have thanked him face to face. I only came here today, and I hope Old General Dou will forgive me." When Wang Junlin spoke, he was also full of smiles and his acting skills were overwhelming. Although his official rank is the same as that of Dou Shihai, and even his title is two ranks higher, and Dou Shihai is only a county magistrate, but Wang Junlin is a junior after all, and Dou Shihai has already greeted him first, and Wang Junlin bowed his hands first.
Dou Shihai also quickly returned the salute, and then the people around Dou Shihai saluted Wang Junlin, and Wang Junlin nodded to them as a return salute.
"Prefect, please!" Dou Shihai sneered in his heart, but his expression became more and more gentle, and he turned sideways to invite Wang Junlin to enter.
"Please, old general!" Wang Junlin politely let Dou Shihai go first.
The eldest son of Dou Shihai, Dou Youwei, said to Shan Xiongxin: "Captain Shan, please bring a hundred soldiers with you. There is another banquet in the hall."
Shan Xiongxin shook his head and said: "No, I have to bring someone to guard the prefect's side all the time."
After a dispute, Wang Junlin and Dou Shihai stopped. Seeing that Wang Junlin had no intention of stopping Shan Xiongxin, Dou Shihai thought what a hundred more ordinary county soldiers would do, but he would kill a hundred more later. He was just a human being, so he said to Dou Youwei: "How can you treat the prefect like other guests? The prefect has a noble status, so the guards naturally have to be by his side."
"I have caused trouble for the old general." Wang Junlin said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, please be polite!" Dou Shihai glanced at Shan Xiongxin, turned around with Wang Junlin, and walked inside together.

"So much snow!"
Standing in front of the banquet hall, Lu Youwei stretched out his hand lightly. With cold eyes, he just watched a snowflake fall on his finger. It melted quickly under the body temperature... There seemed to be some changes in Lu Youwei's eyes, and his brows were slightly frowned. For some reason, he always felt that the plan was going too smoothly.
They wanted to find a chance to kill Wang Junlin, but Dou Shihai's birthday came, and their masters were a little nervous, but Huang Shuren and Jin Yibei appeared, and they invited Wang Junlin to the banquet, but the latter came like this, and they were worried about Wang Junlin's death. Junlin would doubt it, but all the signs proved that Wang Junlin never had any doubts. There is also the copy of Lu Jianheng's secret decree. Thinking about it now, it is also too easy to get. The most important thing is that he always feels that Wang Junlin is not such an easy person to kill.
"Also, why did my father ask Jianheng and me to attend Dou Shihai's birthday banquet?" Lu Youwei was a little puzzled.
"The matter has come to this point, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be done." Finally Lu Youwei sighed, breathing white air in his mouth, and said softly to himself.

There is an independent small courtyard on one side of the hall used for holding banquets in the Dou Mansion. At this time, masters gathered here, including Lu family, Hongnong Yang family, Goguryeo Yuan Tai Zuo, and Dou Shihai itself. The masters provided by the four forces each occupied one Room.
At this time, in the room representing the Hongnong Yang family, Huang Shuren was facing the stove in front of him, staring at the crackling and bursting sparks, and was slightly stunned. A master in the stagnation period selected by the sub-yamen of the Weifu. Originally, there were not so many masters in the small Fanyang County branch office, but since Wang Junlin came to Fanyang County as the prefect, Xu Jingzong and Shen Guang consciously increased the number of people and masters in the Fanyang County branch office, and this power naturally belonged to Shen Guo child leadership.
Although it was snowing thousands of miles outside, the house was as warm as spring. Huang Shuren was only wearing a plain white thin robe, holding a glass of good wine provided by the Dou Mansion in his hand, and drank it slowly.
Then he walked slowly to the window, glanced out of the window, and laughed, with a hint of chill in his laughter.
"So much snow!"
Shen Guoer looked at Huang Shuren, but didn't answer, thinking that Huang Shuren's mind and city government are the best choice, and she was able to make him surrender, thanks to the ability of 'Little Yinzi'.

Arguably the largest sea ship in the world, it quietly appeared at an abandoned port five miles south of the Fanyang County navy station. In fact, this is the second time this big ship has come here. No, people who have never been on this boat can't imagine how fast this boat is, but it's incredibly stable.
From Yanchang to Rongcheng County, it is more than a hundred miles by land, and it takes more than half a day for the cavalry to march in a hurry, but it only takes more than an hour by sea. Nie Xiaoyu personally commanded the boat, made two trips back and forth, and brought over five hundred cavalrymen and their horses. This big ship is the only one that can transport cavalry on the sea.
Watching Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong quickly complete the formation of 500 cavalry, Nie Xiaoyu glanced in the direction of Rongcheng County with a bow on his back, and said, "Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Luo Shixin, Li Xuanba, you guys Each of the four will lead one hundred cavalry, and they will be in charge of the four directions of Rongcheng County, east, west, north, south, and no one is allowed to pass through the direction you are in charge of to reach the navy station. Lay the last interception line in the direction of Rongcheng County.”
Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong have already experienced Nie Xiaoyu's mystery and strength these days. Looking at Nie Xiaoyu's expressionless expression, they always feel a little chill in their hearts. On the other hand, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba looked excited. The salt field formed three thousand new soldiers with more than five hundred fine cavalry as the backbone. According to Wang Junlin's intention, these two young men will serve and train among the three thousand soldiers. These days They have already won the respect of everyone including Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong through their own strength, and they have been taught by Nie Xiaoyu himself, these two teenagers have the same thinking ability as adults, and they are more decisive.
Seeing the four men disappear into the dark snow field with a hundred cavalry each, Nie Xiaoyu also led a hundred cavalry to the interception line he was in charge of. Then, he stood there and stared at Rongcheng County without moving.

…
It gets dark early in winter, and Wang Junlin estimates that it is only around 6:00 pm now, and it is almost completely dark by now.
