Chapter 224 Guarantees
Seeing that the messenger guard at the main gate had been in for a whole stick of incense and had not yet come out, the Dongcheng gate official couldn't help but be a little anxious, and kept pacing back and forth at the door, glancing at the house from time to time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A stick of incense, a cup of tea, half an hour.
The time dragged on longer and longer, and just as the patience of the East City Gate Officer was about to be worn out, the gatekeeper who had gone in to deliver the message finally came out, and after making a gesture of invitation to the East City Gate Officer with a helpless face, he said, "Your Excellency the Prince is already waiting for you in the middle hall. ”
Hearing this, the dissatisfaction in the heart of the East City Gate official suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly followed the gate guard in.
While walking through the garden in the City Lord's Mansion, the gatekeeper admonished, "Since the City Lord has been sweeping away the rogues of the Qingfeng Mountain Range during this time. Your Excellency has lost 20,000 horses, and now Your Excellency is in a very bad mood, so you should be careful with your words. ”
"It's nature. "Although the official of the East City Gate is very curious about what kind of rogue can make His Excellency the Prince lose 20,000 horses, he knows that this kind of thing is not something he should ask, so he doesn't dare to ask more.
The gatekeeper seemed to see the curiosity in the heart of the Dongcheng gatekeeper, and whispered: "It seems that I heard someone say that the banner of this gang of rogues is called the Black Gold Army, and the combat effectiveness is very strong, but I don't know the specifics, I just guard the door, I only know these, if you are curious, find a relationship to ask." ”
"Thank you for telling me about it. The East City Gate official didn't care at all on the surface, and replied lightly.
In fact, I couldn't help but read in my heart: The Black Gold Army... Black Gold Army.......
"Hey, it's okay, it's okay. Seeing that the gatekeeper did not care at all, he no longer looked bored, and the two of them walked towards the central hall while enjoying the view of the garden.
After a while, the two of them had already walked to the door of the central hall, and when the two guards at the door of the central hall saw the two of them, one of them turned around and walked to the door of the central hall, and shouted loudly to the middle hall: "The official of the East City Gate has arrived." ”
As soon as these words fell, a middle-aged man's voice came from the middle hall.
"Let him in. ”
Immediately, the East City Gate Officer walked into the atrium with a steady pace.
I saw the official of the East City Gate kneeling down on one knee, bowing his head, and said respectfully: "The official of the East Gate of the Outer City of the Lower Official, see Your Excellency the Prince, Your Excellency the Prince is Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
"Get up. ”
"Prince Xie. Hearing the words of His Excellency the Prince, the official of the East City Gate stood up without humility or arrogance. raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in the center of the main hall with a serious face, dressed in luxurious clothes and with a slightly sickly white face.
This seemingly ordinary middle-aged man is like the third emperor brother of the current saint, the current city lord of Xuzhou City, and the governor of Xuzhou (equivalent to the secretary of the provincial party committee) Yuan Ying.
As an important person in many important positions, the aura of the whole person is also very strong, and the momentum of the superior who has been in a high position for a long time makes the Dongcheng Gate official bow his head when he lands.
But the Dongcheng Gate official always felt that this Yuan Ying's aura seemed to be hiding something, it seemed to be evil, and it was like a wolf pupil in the dark, greedy and lustful, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
But these words, Yuan Ying only dared to think about them in his heart, but he must not say them.
I saw Yuan Ying looking lazy, leaning back on the back of the Pear Flower Taishi chair, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he squinted his eyes and asked the East City Gate Officer: "The East City Gate Officer of the Outer City, right, didn't you say that there is an important military situation that needs to be reported? ”
"No. Hearing Yuan Ying's words, the East City Gate official nodded, raised his head, looked directly at Yuan Ying, and spoke slowly, but he said very clearly: "Tell Your Excellency, just an hour ago, I found a black spot on the eastern horizon on the tower of the East City Gate. ”
Hearing the words of the East City Gate official, Yuan Ying looked impatient and drowsy.
Seeing Yuan Ying's impolite appearance, the Dongcheng Gate official could only continue helplessly: "This black spot, after the analysis of many military horses, finally came to a result. ”
Hearing this, Yuan Ying became a little interested, Erlang's legs were also put down, and he lazily asked, "What is the result?"
"The black spot is an army, and its identity is unknown, and it is numbering hundreds of thousands. There is a major threat to my Xuzhou City, and I ask the prince to decide. The East City Gate Officer said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Yuan Ying was suddenly shocked, and his frivolous appearance disappeared in an instant, replaced by a look of shock.
I saw Yuan Yingden hurriedly asking: "How far is the enemy army from my Xuzhou City?"
"It is about fifty or sixty miles away from my Xuzhou City, and it is estimated that this army will arrive in our city early tomorrow morning. ”
"What?" Yuan Yingden couldn't hold back the panic in his heart, and stood up suddenly, exclaiming in surprise.
And Yuan Ying's exclamation immediately led several guards outside the door in.
I saw that as soon as Yuan Ying's exclamation fell, more than a dozen guards armed with long swords and big knives rushed in outside the door, and after seeing that Yuan Ying was not in any danger, he breathed a sigh of relief.
And the East City Gate official in the center of the main hall couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart when he saw these guards coming so quickly.
Yuan Ying saw that he had attracted so many guards in his life, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly. waved their hands like chasing flies, and these guards could only retreat helplessly.
Seeing that the guards had retreated, Yuan Ying slowly paced up in the main hall, and while pacing, he said to himself: "Is there only one day......
Seeing Yuan Ying's appearance, the officials of the East City Gate did not dare to disturb at all. He could only stay where he was, even if a mosquito bit him now, he couldn't move.
Suddenly, Yuan Ying said to the East City Gate Officer with an undoubted tone: "Now there are more than 60,000 defenders in Xuzhou City, which are distributed to the four gates of the outer city, and each gate is probably guarded by 15,000 people, but it is completely impossible to block an army of hundreds of thousands of people, so ......"
The East Gate Officer listened quietly, and he knew that the most important time was coming.
From now on, the East Gate Officer of the Outer City will be appointed as the temporary defender of the Xuzhou City Siege Battle, and you have the right to make the four gate gatekeepers obey unconditionally in this siege battle. Can you do it?"
Hearing Yuan Ying's sudden order and decision, the mind of the East City Gate official was like ringing a bell, and there was chaos. It seems that this pie that fell from the sky smashed the East City Gate official very hard. But after all, he was a gatekeeper, and after a slight gaffe, he hurriedly patted his chest and swore an oath: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, the lower officials will live up to expectations and fight bloodily." Unless I die in battle, not a single soldier will set foot in my Xuzhou City. ”
But after the guarantee, the Dongcheng gate official really wanted to slap himself. You know, that's an army of hundreds of thousands. Do you have the ability to stop it? Unless you die in battle, I think you are purely looking for death.
Although he didn't believe it himself, he had to finish the cannon he had made an appointment with while crying. Now that the words have been spoken, the officials of the East City Gate can only bite the bullet. At least, you can experience what it's like to be a city defender before you die, right?
However, before you know it, everyone is thinking that this black spot thing is an enemy army of hundreds of thousands of people, will the truth really die like this?
