At this time, the Donghua Gate was open in front of Li Jin's convoy and Li Hui's sergeant, which was normal, but none of the soldiers guarding the gate were gone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And that's not all, the strangest thing is that not only the soldiers at the door are missing, but even the streets inside the door are empty. From a distance, there doesn't seem to be a single footprint on the dusty streets.

This made the Li family Ding, who was watching all this, suddenly feel his hair stand on end. Everyone kept muttering in secret.

"Is this the Donghua Gate in the capital?"

“…… How does it look like an empty city?"

"We're not dreaming, are we?"

The whispers outside the car also reached the inside of the car. Li Jin curiously lifted the door curtain, and what he saw was the straight and wide avenue into the city that seemed to point straight to the blue sky facing the car door, and the towering city gate standing overhead, all of which seemed more towering and distant in the empty field of vision. Everything is an ordinary scene, but only a few characters are missing, and it makes people feel so uncomfortable because of this disobedience.

Li Jin looked at such a scene, and the hairs on his back stood on end, completely unconsciously turning his head to look at the army following behind him. Who are these people? Or is there something special going on in the city today? At this time, Li Jin regretted a little that he didn't take the car back home yesterday as his father requested, otherwise he would never have encountered such a bizarre thing.

At this time, in this large open space, there were only two teams of people Li Jin and Li Hui in front of the city gate, and all the entourages added up to less than a hundred people, which was particularly small in this too spacious space. Coupled with the occasional snorts of the horses, it did not add some life to the already quiet space, but rather made the whole city even more lonely in front of the city gates.

Just when Li Jin was about to lose such a scene, an old man dressed as a husband staggered through the door. The old man's steps were quite steady, but a little slower, and after passing through Li Jin's convoy, he walked directly to the army three or four miles behind, and after a while, he turned around and walked back.

The next moment when the old man passed by Li Jin's convoy, an officer rode his horse and galloped to Li Jin's convoy.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he had already said loudly: "Sir, don't be alarmed, just enter the city with peace of mind." ”

Li Jin looked closely, and it turned out to be one of the two officers who had just come to his team, and he had been standing inseparably behind the officer who was always talking strangely.

I saw him hug his fists and say, "After the gentleman enters the gate, take a detour directly from the path by the city wall, and don't take the city gate avenue." Once in the city, there will be no trouble. Give your fleet a quarter of an hour. ”

Li Jin looked at the city gate in front of him, and then turned to the trail after his convoy passed, and a quarter of an hour was estimated to be more than enough, so he nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

When the man received an affirmative reply, he saluted again and quickly returned to his ranks.

The surrounding family members didn't need to be instructed, just when the man had not gone far, he began to drive forward, for fear of being a minute and a second late.

Li Jin sat back in the car and leaned against the wall of the car to secretly distract. Who are the people behind him, and what is the matter with this empty street?

When Li Hui arrived at Donghua Gate at the end of the day, the scene he saw was completely beyond his expectations.

Although he wrote in his letter that he hoped to enter the city in a low-key manner, he never thought that the low profile given to him by the little emperor would be so conspicuous.

Helplessly smiled bitterly, although Li Hui had made up his mind to enter the city at this time, he didn't know how he was going to go this way. Do you want to take these followers directly to the military department to report?

And the guards around Li Hui were really unable to sit still at this time.

"General, what is this little emperor going to do? The city gate is open, and the streets are still empty, so there will be no ambush, right? Let's not enter this city. The crowd behind him echoed him. The restless emotions of the people also infected the horses under them, and the tame war horses were irritable and snorted from time to time, retreating and retreating.

Li Hui smiled and said, "I don't see that today's family members have such courage." It's a test of my courage. ”

Although he was fearless, Li Hui had no choice to retreat.

Li Hui raised his eyes and looked at the carriage in front of him, and there was a trace of hesitation in his heart. For the little emperor he had never met, Li Hui had some investigation before entering Beijing, but in the end he was plain and simple, in case he really touched his scales, I don't know if he would involve these irrelevant people in a while.

As a last resort, Li Hui did not want to hurt the innocent in any case.

Just when Li Hui was thinking about how to get these people to leave this Shura field safely without having too much to do with him, a husband came to Li Hui.

After bowing and saluting, the old man said: "General, Your Majesty knows that you are sympathetic to the people, so you have to let everyone avoid it, and open the city gate to welcome." When you enter the city, you go straight along the avenue, and the officer who greets you is at the end of the road. ”

"Okay, thank you, uncle. Li Hui hugged his fists in salute.

After the old man left, Li Hui understood that there was not much time left for him, so he simply didn't care about letting the convoy in front of him disassociate himself from him, so he waved his personal guard to inform the convoy in front of him, and picked a small road to walk quickly after entering the city.

With such an arrangement, when I couldn't see the cyan car clearly, it was exactly three o'clock.

Li Hui couldn't help but laugh in his heart, I don't know when he actually had the ability to predict the future?

A group of 50 people marched neatly and mightily through the deserted streets, marching towards the city.

The guards originally planned to protect Li Hui in the center of the team, but who knew that Li Hui stopped these people's plans with a look.

I saw him, completely strolling leisurely across the horse, letting the sweaty BMW under him move forward at will. And the various entourages behind him also held their heads high in order not to fall into the general's majesty. It's just that they all hold sword hilts and crossbows, and they look ready to fight at any time.

Although Li Hui wanted his subordinates to relax for a while, he was afraid that they would be more nervous if they didn't hold weapons, and when the cup bow snake shadow accidentally injured the people, it would be against his heart, so Li Hui also followed his subordinates' wishes and did not say anything to stop it.

The stalls on the street along the way, although the small shop was open, it was empty, such a strange atmosphere intensified the tense nerves of the guards behind Li Hui, and the occasional aura flashed in the doors and windows, or in the dark places of the alleys, looking at the movements, they should also be in the army. Li Hui secretly prayed in his heart that he hoped that the people who had not strayed into this place, but the handsome little student he had just met on the road suddenly appeared in his mind, I don't know where he is at this time, will he be implicated because of his own reasons?

The heart that had been hanging tighter, and the reins in Li Hui's hand involuntarily pulled tighter and tighter.

Donghua Gate went straight into the middle of the entire capital, and a group of people rode horses for about half an hour, and finally saw the faint Jinshui Bridge in the distance. The aura that loomed around was completely gone.

Li Hui nodded secretly in his heart, it is the best arrangement to withdraw here, otherwise it will not end well if he misses his tracks for a while.

The crowd gathered near the Jinshui Bridge seemed to have just seen Li Hui and the others, who had gathered together in the cold wind, and the officials who were heating around several large stoves quickly lined up in three rows. Obviously, the stove set up in advance should be the emperor's order, otherwise who would dare to set up a fire in front of the palace gate so blatantly.

Li Hui was a little surprised, this was unthinkable in the previous generation.

In the previous dynasty, whether it was a cold winter or a scorching heat and cold, as long as it was something decided by the emperor, even if there was no fault without him in person, it could not be there, especially when it came to ritual and music sacrifices.

Li Hui knew that he had such a dissolute and uninhibited temperament, and it could be said that he was in trouble every day in the Imperial Forest Army. Fortunately, for various reasons, he was not convicted of any major crime in the end, but the old emperor finally sent himself to the northernmost part in order to be out of sight.

It's funny to think that after the previous generation died, the current one is so subverting his tradition. I'm afraid that after the old emperor finds out, he will wake up angrily, but this doesn't matter to him Li Hui, but he is a little more comfortable. Maybe he and the little emperor will lose their temper?

Master Zheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood in the cold wind for half an hour because of his age, and at this time, he seemed to be able to break into several pieces when he was stiff at first action.

"The general has worked hard to come to Beijing for thousands of miles. As he spoke, he made a full salute to His Holiness and threw himself to the ground.

Li Hui dismounted when he could see everyone clearly, and at this time he happened to walk in front of Zheng Shangshu, and before he could say half a sentence, he saw Zheng Shangshu wanting to make this big gift. immediately threw away the reins in his hand and took a step forward to support Zheng Shangshu.

"Don't dare, don't dare. I didn't dare to be such a big gift to Zheng Shangshu. ”

"The general for the country and the people will be rejected from the country, this gift is not exceeded, I take the people to thank the general. And he saluted.

Li Hui couldn't resist the stubbornness of this old scholar when he was in the capital, and now when he returns to Beijing, he feels that his stubbornness has obviously increased unabated. Therefore, he added a little more strength in his hand, but he didn't let Zheng Shangshu perform the whole courtesy, and immediately said with a haha in his mouth: "Old Shangshu has been in good health for a long time, I don't know if your health is good recently." I remember that when I left Beijing, your back pain still flares up from time to time. I wonder if it's better now?"

"It's hard for the general to remember, a handful of old bones, I don't know when there is no soil, what do you care about those pains?"

"Look at what you said, although I didn't have the chance to meet a miracle doctor in Biansai, it was rare to rely on the deep mountains and beautiful rivers, and occasionally I could encounter some rare good medicines on the march. It's a pity that he can't come back early because he is busy with military affairs, otherwise the old man can use these to relieve some pain. Tomorrow, let my subordinates send them to the adult's house. ”

"This can't be ......" Zheng Shangshu was about to excuse himself, Li Hui saw that he had completely attracted his attention, so he took the opportunity to look at the sky and said:

"Don't shirk, sir. It's not early in the morning, let's get into the palace quickly?"

Thinking of the matter, Master Zheng immediately stopped worrying about the gift.

"Yes, yes, look at me as old fools. Great General please. With a wave of his hand, the horn and the drum sounded at the same time.

This is the highest welcome courtesy for the generals. But most of them were carried out in the shouts of the people, but now the streets were deserted only a few branches and leaves that had been blown off by the wind due to dryness.

Hundreds of officials surrounded Li Hui and walked towards the Dezheng Palace, where a formal pilgrimage would take place.

In the huge palace, even the three poles of the sun need to be lit by candles. The splendor of the splendor and the guards that can be seen everywhere.

Li Hui has not seen such a scene for more than ten years, and occasionally he will think of it in his midnight dream, but he always feels that it is a dream from his previous life.

"Xuan~!"

With a high-pitched summons accompanied by countless echoes.

Li Hui felt that he was back in the dream he had before.

Yes, I have seen the bloody battlefields of the frontier, and I have seen the vastness of the deep mountains and plains. This can only be regarded as an old dream of Li Hui, although he has not woken up yet, it will eventually end.
