Chapter 235: The Royal Cavalry
Hearing the thin scholar's words, the big man said: "Eh, Xiucai doesn't have to be so modest, this person who has read a book, this vision and future are higher than those of us rough people." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Maybe once you pass the exam, you'll be the top student?"
Listening to the big man's compliments, the thin scholar's heart was full of joy, and his face was red because of his shyness.
In fact, it's not that the big man has any intentions for this scholar and is so complimentary, in this era, a scholar, even if he hasn't even taken the township exam, he can be a little teacher no matter how bad he is, and if he really gets the top prize, it will be a flying yellow and prosperous.
The so-called poor study, rich practice martial arts. That's it.
The two complimented each other for a while, and the thin scholar learned from the mouth of the big man that it turned out that the official government posted a list yesterday, and the content on it roughly said so.
Tomorrow, the Holy Lord of the Qianyuan Empire and the Royal Legion of the First Legion of the Empire will march to Xuzhou City in person, and will be stationed in Xuzhou City for a few days, and military control will be implemented tomorrow morning.
Although there are only one or two hundred words on the list, the amount of information contained in it is extremely large, and the significance is also very significant.
When such a list is posted, you can imagine how much waves it will set off among the people of Xuzhou City.
For a time, the undercurrent of Xuzhou City was surging, and all forces gathered in Dongcheng District. And the people of the other three urban districts of Xuzhou City went out early, occupying the best position first, ready to see the demeanor of the supreme man of the Qianyuan Empire.
Dongcheng Avenue, the main avenue in the eastern urban area of Xuzhou City, is crowded with people, and people rub shoulders with each other, but so many people gather here and look in one direction: the East City Gate.
At this time, the Dongcheng Gate Officer withdrew his gaze from the direction of Dongcheng Avenue and turned to the east.
I saw a gray scene on the eastern horizon, like a sandstorm in the desolate land of the north.
Of course, this gray patch could not be a sandstorm, but the dust brought up by a large number of men and horses on the way.
With such a huge amount of dust, how many people and horses must be able to bring it up, thinking about it carefully, it is simply blood-pumping.
And the initiator of such a scene is undoubtedly the first legion of the Qianyuan Empire: the Royal Legion!
Suddenly, the Royal Legion, which was still very far away from the East City Gate, divided a small force and rushed towards this side, and the large army of the Royal Legion in the distance suddenly accelerated its march, following the small army, rushing towards the East City Gate.
Seeing the situation on the side of the Royal Legion, the East City Gate Officer hurriedly ordered his soldiers: "Inform and open the door to prepare for the arrival of the Royal Legion." ā
"No!" Hearing the words of the East City Gate Officer, a soldier shouted loudly outside the gate: "The general has an order, open the city gate!"
There were already a large number of officers and soldiers waiting for the order to open the door behind the east city gate, and when they heard the soldier's words, they immediately pulled down the red lacquer bolt of the city gate, and dozens of people worked together to push out the huge city gate ten meters high from the inside out.
As soon as the 10-meter-high city gate was opened, the officers and soldiers who had already been preparing to attack behind the city gate rushed out and lined up in two rows on both sides of the city gate, until they reached the suspension bridge of the moat.
Not only is the action very smooth and orderly, but the number of people is not too many and one is not less, which must have been rehearsed many times.
These face projects must have been prepared to welcome the arrival of the Royal Legion.
The small army that had been separated from the royal legion was getting closer and closer to the East City Gate, and the East City Gate Officer had seen the situation of this small army clearly from the city tower.
This small force was actually a squadron of cavalry, no more than a hundred horsemen, but the armor they wore on each of them was quite eye-catching.
Under the strong sunlight, the golden armor on each royal cavalry reflected an extremely dazzling golden light, which was extremely eye-catching.
Yes, that's right. It's the Golden Warframe.
"This... Is this the most elite gold-armored cavalry in the legendary Royal Legion? I didn't expect to be able to see it in my lifetime, I have no regrets in this life, no regrets in this life. On the wall of the eastern city, a city defender looked shocked and said to the other city guards very excitedly.
Hearing the words of this officer and soldier guarding the city, the faces of the other officers and soldiers defending the city also invariably showed a look of shock.
If the Royal Legion is recognized as the first elite legion of the Empire, then the Golden Armored Cavalry is recognized as the first cavalry of the Empire.
Of course, this is only a general recognition and does not mean that he is the strongest.
But even so, the appearance of the golden-armored cavalry made the hearts of every officer and soldier defending the city feel like a cat's paw scratching, and they were very curious about the main force of the larger royal legion behind.
Seeing the arrival of this royal gold-armored cavalry squadron, the face of the Dongcheng Gate official did not change, but he said lightly to the adjutant beside him: "You, go down to meet this cavalry squadron." ā
"No. Hearing the order of the East City Gate Officer, the adjutant hurriedly led people to the city gate to prepare to meet this royal gold-armored cavalry squadron.
Seeing the adjutant leave, the East City Gate Officer couldn't help but glance at the direction of the inner city in a complicated way.
It stands to reason that the current saint is the third brother of the city lord, and it stands to reason that His Excellency, who is the third brother, should be waiting here to greet his younger brother early. But up to now, the city lord is still delayed, no matter how he sends someone to urge, there is only one reply from the city lord's mansion: Your Excellency is not in good health.
In just eight words, the official fox of the East City Gate was suspicious, and he had seen His Excellency the Prince yesterday, and he was still alive at that time. But after only one night, how did it become a sick cat?
Among them, there must be a big secret.
After thinking about it for a long time, the Dongcheng gate official couldn't think of a reason, so he had to give up.
He could only pray in his heart that His Majesty would come and not implicate him in the crime.
So far, the officials of the East City Gate can only wait here. Who made him just a little city gate official with no background and no luck?
At this moment, the sound of two men talking came from the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
"I don't know when Your Majesty will arrive, but we must be fully prepared not to let him discover our intentions. As long as there are no accidents this time, your dream of wearing a yellow robe will not be far away. So, be careful, don't let him notice anything, or we'll be in big trouble. ā
"Then what now? Now go to the city gate to meet my incompetent third brother?"
"Presumably this is the only way now, for the sake of our future cause, let's pretend for a while longer. ā
"Good. ā
The voices in the main hall dissipated in the air, but the faces of the two soldiers at the door of the main hall did not change in the slightest. Presumably, they have also been brainwashed.
