Chapter Seventy-Two: Honor
A thin mist shrouded Chang'an, and sixteen forbidden army soldiers divided into two teams pushed open the heavy city gates. The huge doorway made a rattling sound, and the team yawned and ordered the soldiers to clean the road in front of the city gate.
More than a dozen tall horses roared past them, beads of sweat on their bodies. The saints of people and horses were covered with a layer of steam, and a young soldier of the Forbidden Army just wanted to scold, but the veteran next to him covered his mouth and made a "whine" sound.
"Old Uncle Li, why are you covering my mouth. These people are too crazy, they dare to spread wild in our Chang'an City, they should be taught a lesson. ”
The soldier who was covered his mouth spit a few mouthfuls of spit dissatisfied, and Uncle Li pulled a bubble of early in the morning, but he didn't see him wash his hands, and he felt a smell of when he covered his mouth. It's just that he can't afford to provoke this veteran oil, otherwise it won't be the group of people just now who will be scolded, but Uncle Li.
"Boy, if you think you're going to be long, scold him. Didn't you look at the blades on their bodies, only the subordinates of the Marquis of Lintong made such blades in Chang'an. Does the Marquis of Lintong know that the more than 20,000 Hun heads in front of Gaozu's grave were cut back by him. Definitely a murderer who doesn't blink, you scold him...... Hehe, just use your small soldier to insult the general of Zhenguo, look at your head is not nonsense.
It's strange that the Marquis of Lintong didn't come to Chang'an. Today, if you are so anxious, there is something happening at the border gate......"
The old soldier looked in the direction where Yun Xiao had gone, and fell into deep thought.
Yun Xiao and his party did not slow down in Chang'an City, and knocked over many people along the way. But as soon as the shrewd people of Chang'an saw such a high-headed horse, they knew that this person was not small. got up, threw down the snow on his body, cursed secretly, and went about his own business.
The group stopped in front of the Yun family's Hou Mansion. The servant who was sweeping the yard saw that it was the Hou Ye who had returned. hurriedly bowed and saluted, wondering why the Hou Ye returned to Chang'an so early.
The steward got the letter and rushed out at a trot. It's not diligent to lead the horse and kick, and this steward is also very good at stammering. The washing water and the wicker branches stained with fine salt have been arranged, and Hou Ye definitely needs to clean his face after running all night.
"Go get some breakfast, and get the Phantom Sky who came here last night."
Yun Xiao was in the mood to wash, and after getting off the horse, he went straight to the study of the back house. The guards consciously scattered around the perimeter of the study, and when idlers approached, they would be reprimanded.
The study was pushed open, and Phantom Sky walked in with a flustered look on his face. Inadvertently learning of such a shocking event, even the first swordsman of the Momen, Phantom Tian, was uneasy in his heart.
"Didn't have breakfast. Sit down and talk while eating. ”
Yun Xiao pointed to the seat next to Dai Yu. Just one sentence made Phantom Tian feel a lot more at ease. This is a kind of mental suggestion, Yun Xiao audited the psychology course of the medical school when he was in college. Of course, his main purpose was to take a peek at the faculty of medicine.
Huantian sat down and served himself a bowl of millet porridge. While drying porridge, he told Yun Xiao what happened yesterday.
"So Uncle Tian already knows about this?"
"Hmm. I have not concealed your commandment. ”
The illusory sky saw that the porridge was a little cold. I blew two sips and drank it. The sound was as loud as if a dam had burst.
It seems that Tian Wei will definitely enter the palace as soon as possible, but fortunately, Gongsun Wei's plan is at night. I still have time to arrange, I don't know if there will be time to stop Zhou Yafu from going out of the city. If this key figure is stopped. This dispute can be nipped in the bud.
"Dai Yu, you quickly go to the main road leading to the fine willow camp. encountered Zhou Yafu and his party, and intercepted and killed on the spot, except for Zhou Yafu, who could be killed. ”
Yun Xiao intends to keep the waves of this incident to a minimum, perhaps saving many people's lives.
"It's late, I've already gone to Zhou's house in the morning to inquire. I went to his house to deliver food for a month, and a few acquaintances. They said that the Marquis of Jiang went out of the city early in the morning, and Dai Yu was afraid that it would be too late to go out to chase after him at this time. ”
Phantom Tian swallowed a mouthful of porridge and said unhurriedly.
"Damn, you didn't say it earlier."
Yun Xiao looked at Phantom Tian with some annoyance, he didn't say anything so important. This hateful guy is always a fool, when will he be as calm as Dai Yu.
"Anyway, as soon as the gates were opened, they went out of the city. No matter how you chase it, you can't catch up, and your horses are fast and the horses of the Zhou family are not slow. ”
Huantian still looked heartless, and the panic in the morning had already been swallowed into his stomach with millet porridge.
"There's no way to enter the palace, and Phantom Sky will follow. It's good to say what you should say when you see your majesty, and it's not good to talk nonsense about the rest. A companion is like a tiger, and if you don't get it right, it will endanger the old and young of the Yun family. ”
Now, Yun Xiao can only choose to take Phantom Heaven into the palace to meet Liu Qi. Tian Wei and Wang Wan categorically did not hide this important news, and it is very likely that they are already on their way to the Chengming Palace. Can't wait for Liu Qi to summon, you can only send it to the door, at this time attitude is very important, and now is the attitude that determines it. If you wait for the big boss to get angry, I am afraid that every Qiē of the Yun family Zhuangzi will be burned into a blank floor by Liu Qi's anger.
There is no special change in front of the door of Weiyang Palace, because it is not a large court meeting. There were not many officials waiting for the performance here, so Yun Xiao handed over his sign and waited for Liu Qi's summons.
In the cold wind, Yun Xiao's body temperature was quickly drained. wiped a handful of snot, and the little face that was red from the cold suddenly became a plucked apple. The wide Hanfu is really not wind-resistant, but fortunately I wore underwear, otherwise it would be bad for the little brother to catch a cold.
Dai Yu took off his mink cloak and put it on Yun Xiao, and he didn't take the carriage when he came out in a hurry today. Yun Xiao misses his carriage with shock absorption too much, and at this time he usually sways in the carriage and waits for the boss's summons.
A small chamberlain appeared at the door of Weiyang Palace, and all the courtiers looked at him with a smile. I hope that he will sing his name in his mouth, and it is really not a pleasant thing to squat at the door of Weiyang Palace and drink the wind on this winter morning.
The little chamberlain glanced left and right, and his eyes stopped at the location of Yun Xiao's party. Walked a few steps and bowed and said: "The villain has seen the Marquis of Lintong, and His Majesty has a decree to announce that the Marquis of Lintong is extremely guarded into the palace. ”
There was a buzz among the courtiers, but the last sign was received first. This in itself already shows the royal favor, but I didn't expect to be allowed to enter the palace with an escort.
Even the king of Liang of the current dynasty was not allowed to bring guards into the palace, and this young marquis was really favored by His Majesty. Many courtiers began to re-examine this low-key young marquis. (To be continued......)
