Chapter 473 Panic
"Father, news came from both the Wanshou Tower and the Liuhe Tower, and there was no trace of the Song army!" A tall middle-aged man with yellow and blue eyes only came forward to report after a fat old man finished his morning gift. ΩΩWw W.

"Huh... let's have a meal!" The old man stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was relieved. He looked like a high nose, blue eyes, and had a foreigner's appearance. His white robe showed his belief. This was not new in Quanzhou where the foreigners gathered, and it was not conspicuous among the crowds, but everyone in Quanzhou City knew his name Pu Shougeng.
"Shi Si, Suo has been away from Quanzhou for five days, right?" Pu Shougeng walked out and said with the help of his second son.
"Father, the envoy Xuanwei has just left for three days!" Shi Si replied. He laughed in his heart that his father was really old. Since the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty personally led his troops to Zhangzhou a few days ago, he has been restless. After leading troops to help from the left prime minister of Fujian Province, he has been unable to sleep or eat. He specially sent people to monitor the sea off Quanzhou on the commanding heights of the Quanzhou, Liuhe Tower and Wanshou Tower. He was willing to eat only after hearing the safe and sound reward.
"Three days?! He has only been gone for three days, and I thought it had been five days." Pu Shougeng sighed and said, "Why are you feeling uneasy when you get the little emperor to attack Zhangzhou this time? Don't be careless. Send more sent ships to patrol the sea surface. Whenever there is any abnormality, you will immediately close the city gate and go to Zhangzhou for help."
"Father, don't worry. Sodu is good at fighting without a ten-day period. Besides, there are still thousands of soldiers in our city, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the palace. Isn't there a thousand detectives led by Baijiashu? Even if they attack, it is not that easy. Besides, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou are only three hundred miles apart, and Sodu will come in just three or two days after a night of help." Shi Si comforted his father, but he felt a little disdainful. He didn't know why his father was so scared. Did he become less courageous when he got old?
"I always have an unknown premonition, thinking that the little emperor came to our Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou was just a suspicious soldier!" Pu Shougeng said as he walked.
"No, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty probably didn't have that courage. How could a child have such a strong scheming?" Shi Si smiled discontently.
"Don't take it lightly. We formed a mortal enemy with the Zhao Guan family, killed so many of their royal family members, and forced them to the sea. After that, we also asked the Khan to conquer and suppress them in the name of an edict of foreign merchants from all over the country, and sent troops to assist Zhang Hongfan in attacking Yashan. We thought we could kill them all in one place and eliminate future troubles forever, but we did not expect that Zhang Hongfan not only failed to destroy the Zhao Guan family, but also lost his life. It was really a big trouble!" Pu Shougeng's fat face trembled a few times and said.
"Father, why did you destroy the Six King Temples in Guangzhou?" Shi Si asked again. The gods worshipped in the Six King Temples in Guangzhou are very effective. All ships entering and leaving Guangzhou will go to worship. However, his father asked an edict to grant Mazu the title of the Sea God as the Sea God, which made him wonder why he wanted to establish two Sea Gods.
"You are so confused!" Pu Shougeng said in a deep voice, "The six kings worshipped in Guangzhou are the Kings of Wei who caught the city that day. Today, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty said that the six kings are just to cover people's eyes and ears. How can we make them the sea god!"
"Oh, so that's it. Then the little emperor is not an ordinary person!" Shi Si frowned and said, not everyone can be respected as a god, especially a living person.
"Hmph, why can anyone be an emperor? They are all gods in heaven. So I will be uneasy when I learn that he becomes an emperor. If he receives the offerings of all living beings, the future will be even more terrifying!" Pu Shougeng snorted coldly.
"Well, I understand, I will strengthen the city defense tomorrow!" Shi Si nodded and said.
"We must strictly investigate the people entering and leaving the city. Quanzhou was once the fief of King Wei, and he was also the chief of the outer sect. Now that he is the emperor, he will not allow us to occupy Quanzhou, and will avenge us to kill the royal family in the city. Although the people here seem to surrender, they still miss him. As long as he leads his troops here, he may respond with one cry and capture us and offer us to his stairs!" Pu Shougeng said.
"Father, in more than a month, it will be when merchant ships from four countries gather. Now there are many business trips everywhere in Quanzhou. By then, the population in the city will increase by more than 100,000. If so many people go in and out of the city, it will cause uneasiness if they are strictly investigated!" Shi Si said with some embarrassment.
"Destiny is important, but money is important. The accumulation of our Pu family for generations is all in this small place in the city. Business will not be successful this year. Next year and the year after, as long as we keep this treasure land, our Pu family will not fall, and we will have endless gold and silver!" Pu Shougeng glared at his son and said, blaming his short-sightedness and wanting to miss a big deal.
"Son knows!" Shi Si quickly answered when he saw that his father was unhappy.
"Today you bring some gifts to Xuanwei Office and visit hundreds of slaves. Give some money and food to the left-wing army. In addition, the guards in the mansion should also find a good reward!" Pu Shougeng reminded again.
"Father, as a political affairs officer in Fujian Province, it is not common for you to give gifts to hundreds of slaves? The left-wing army relies on the support of our Pu family, and we have never lacked money and food. Why do we need to allocate additional funds?" Shi Si said in confusion. The cost of giving gifts and rewards is not a small amount.
"Idiot, that Baijiashu is the son of Sodu. He has been in the army since he was a child and is brave and good at fighting. We must rely on him to defend the city. Don't forget that their father and son are Mongolians and the confidant generals of the Khan. Although I am older than his official position, Sodu can make them lose their fortunes in just one word. If we can't afford to offend, we can only respect them."
"Since those people in the Left-wing Army can bear the blame for money, they will also deviate from us for money. Besides, you should expect the dog to bite people. You always give it a bone to eat so that it will bite into the bone. If your elder brother is at home, I will never worry about these things!" Pu Shougeng sighed helplessly, this is also a son, why is the difference so big? The eldest son Shi Wen can go overseas on his behalf to entrust countries to come to trade, but this time Zi Shi Si is in charge of affairs in the mansion and is so careless about doing things, which makes him a little disappointed.
"If your son is wrong, it will make your father angry. Shi Si will definitely work hard and will never let his father down again. Let's have a meal first!" Shi Si helped his father into the hall, and he said with a smile. However, he was very angry. His father always said that he was unstable in his work and handed over all the major affairs in the mansion to his elder brother Shi Wen, and only let himself do some trivial things, which made him very dissatisfied, but it was difficult to distinguish, so he could only hide it in his heart.
