The attack did not go well, the Janissaries soldiers were unexpectedly resolute, and the attackers had to fight in every building and pay a lot of casualties to take it. In the face of a surprise attack, the more than 10,000 Praetorian Guards were not all in the Governor's Palace, but only the more than 4,000 soldiers on duty who were hastily assembled in the Governor's Palace. However, the fortifications in the governor's palace were well arranged, and the attack was heavy, and the attack did not go smoothly. Although the outer wall was initially seized with a surprise attack, the janissaries of the interior responded quickly and used the fortifications and buildings in the palace to block the attack, making the gendarmes pay the price of blood for every step they took forward.

The murder of the monarch is really a shocking event, and the three hundred years of rule of the Zichuan family have accumulated their own prestige. Shabro has followed him for ten years, and he is considered to be his own cronies, and he treats him very kindly, but in the matter of treating the chief, even a die-hard element like him is shaken, and Di Lin really dare not imagine that once he leaves, if the chief appears in the surrounded building and loudly identifies himself, will his subordinates defect?

Attacking the Governor's Mansion is the most critical step, and I can't rest assured that I don't sit here myself.

But in addition to the Governor's Mansion, Di Lin has a lot to worry about. The battle was not confined to the Governor's Mansion, the entire Imperial Capital City was shrouded in smoke and smoke, and fierce battles were taking place in many neighborhoods. The armed gendarmerie blocked the central street, and the Senate, the General Office, the Military Affairs Department and other key departments were the targets of their occupation. There are also Zi Chuanning, Ge Shan, Li Qing, Pi Gu and other important figures, Di Lin has sent the elite agents of the Operations Division to arrest them, but so far, no good news has been returned.

These people, as long as they get away with it, will be a big problem in the future.

Even Di Lin himself did not expect that the mutiny would be so unexpectedly smooth. The Central Army was paralyzed, the Zhibu Shao was defeated, the nobles were still watching from the wall out of fear, and only the Praetorian Guard was still making the last resistance. In front of the Office of the Inspector General, which is fully mobilized. No force in the Imperial Capital could stop his movements.

"My lord," the person who spoke was Lu Zhen, the director of the Fourth Division of the Supervision Department, who was standing behind Di Lin. He said worriedly: "The groups are going well, but the key is Duck! ”

Di Lin's gaze moved away from the location of the God Capital on the map, and saw the small black dot next to the Imperial Capital. Di Lin's pupils couldn't help but contract, and his heart beat faster.

Lu Zhen is right, this is the real big trouble. Stirling sits in Dark, and only needs to receive an order from His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, and the army will arrive at dawn. It can calm down any unrest.

Although the gendarmerie under his command is also powerful, as a general, Di Lin does not think that he is inferior to Stirling, but Di Lin is not confident that he can defend the imperial capital against Stirling's Qinwang army. What kind of army the family expeditionary force was, Di Lin knew better than anyone else. The 150,000 troops gathered the strongest soldiers from the various military regions of the family, the cavalry army in the northwest, the heavy infantry in the southeast, and the children of the imperial city in the imperial capital. This army has experienced the brutal battles of the Anti-Demon War and the expedition to the Demon Kingdom, and is experienced in combat and extremely strong. And a famous player like Sterling is unlikely to make a mistake in command.

What's even more terrifying. Once the main force of the expeditionary force came to the city. Even if Di Lin wanted to defend the city, he couldn't do it. The Central Army, the Ruling Department, and the private soldiers of the nobles, they were only temporarily frightened by their own strength, and at the same time attacked the Governor's Mansion with all their might. I don't have the time or energy to deal with them. Once the expeditionary force arrives, their horse king will grow vigorously like the weeds in spring, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Seeing Di Lin's solemn expression, Lu Zhen also guessed his worries. He was originally the military judge of the garrison sent by the Supervision Office to the Valen Fortress, but in the early 780s, the demon army in the Far East was very strong, and Valen was in danger of becoming the front line again. Seeing that something was wrong, Lu Zhen hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and found a way to transfer him back to the imperial capital, even if he was guarding the door at the headquarters of the Supervision Department. This incident became a big laughing stock within the Supervision Office, but Lu Zhen was unyielding. With his brazenness, he won the favor of Dilin again and served as the director of the Operations Division of the Office of Inspectors. Although Lu Zhen is cowardly, he has a rare talent: his mind is particularly delicate, and he has a unique talent for formulating plans. Di Lin believes that taking people depends on their strengths, and people like Lu Zhen are reluctant to ask him to be a strong warrior, but he is a good chief of staff.

Since he was entrusted with the important task of military division, it was at this critical time. Of course, you have to find a way to get out, otherwise what does the master want you to do?

"My lord, I heard that you have a good relationship with General Stirling, maybe you don't have to go to war? Raheem Sterling received the news that he was leading his army, and it was at least in the afternoon. At that time, we had already taken the governor's mansion, and the chief was dead. Even if Sterling went to war with us, it wouldn't help. Perhaps, we can negotiate a settlement with him? For example, if the adults give him some concessions, we will divide the family with him equally, and be the king side by side? ”

Di Lin turned his head and smiled at Lu Zhen: "King side by side? Lu Zhen, when Sterling came over, how about you go over and talk to him? ”

Di Lin's smile was hidden in some ill intentions, and Lu Zhen panicked: "This...... The lower officials are not good at words, and persuasion is not what the lower officials are good at, but they are afraid of misleading the trust of the adults......"

"It's a pity. I would have liked to see how you were beheaded by Sterling - Lu Zhen, your head is so big, it must look good when hung on the flagpole, right? Well, it's pretty heavy! ”

Di Lin patted Lu Zhen's cheek with a smile, as if he was really weighing the weight: "Idiot, use your brain before you make a fool next time, don't mention such an idiot's advice, okay?" To negotiate, you have to see who the other side is! ”

Lu Zhen broke out in a cold sweat. He nodded again and again: "The adults are too wise, and the lower officials are far behind!" So what do we do? ”

He can't beat him, and he can't be persuaded either, and Di Lin feels very troubled about this second brother. Sterling usually feels very easy-going to everyone, and seems to be a good old man who is easy to negotiate and even a little easy to bully. But Dilling knew that once it came to such a major matter as loyalty and integrity, Sterling would be as firm as ironclad, and no one could shake it. When he arrives with his army, if the chief is not dead, then he will attack to save the chief; If the chief dies, then he will support Zi Chuanning to succeed him and start a war with himself for revenge.

"Leave it to fate! If Sterling doesn't receive the chief's order, that's a little hope...... The only hope. ”

Di Lin looked up. His gaze crossed the blood-soaked battlefield and cast himself into the blue sky. There, a pigeon with its white wings spread was flying among the clouds.

Lu Zhen was puzzled. The siege of the Governor's Mansion began at two o'clock in the middle of the night, and if Zichuan Shenxing was not hopelessly stupid, he would definitely ask the expeditionary force for help before the encirclement closed. From the imperial capital to Dhak, it is a straight road, and there is no possibility of getting lost at the gallop of the messenger horse, how could Stirling not receive orders?

At 1 a.m. on January 1, 786.

Gentle drifting snow flutters quietly over the city. Tenderness envelops the whole city. The Dak camp was shrouded in the silence of the night, and the soldiers slept quietly, as if in the arms of their mothers. No one saw that in the dark night, a carrier pigeon with wings spread flew from the western sky, landed silently on a room in the Duck barracks, got in through the window, and landed on the white pigeon cage.

The carrier pigeon cooed, flapped its wings, and fluttered on the pigeon cage. Until a pair of trembling hands grabbed it. Unraveled a ring and note from its leg.

On that cold winter night, many factors could have contributed to the fiasco, Dirin's mutiny. For example, a carrier pigeon freezes to death or gets lost in a snowy night. Or that an unnamed non-commissioned officer of the Inspectorate's military office in Dak, who feeds carrier pigeons and is also responsible for receiving and delivering urgent letters, gets drunk at the welcome banquet that night, like the soldiers of the Central Army, is not impossible. Dak's expeditionary force also held a New Year's reception that night, and the officers and men had a dinner and a party, and the atmosphere was very warm, and even the military judges, who usually kept a straight face, put down their shelves and drank a lot of wine, wishing each other a happy new year.

That's where Dilin's luck lies. The pigeon rider also drank wine that night, but he was thirsty in the middle of the night, got up to drink water and passed through the pigeon house, and happened to hear the sound of the pigeon, so he went in. A red ring representing the express was seen on the pigeon's leg.

Later generations often believe that it was the loyal pigeon rider who caused the Sanjie Rebellion. If he had woken up the next day and found the pigeon, history would have been very different.

What happened next is logical, the Supervision Office has a set of fixed procedures for handling urgent news, and it must be reported immediately, and the time for each level to report must not exceed 15 minutes, and those who delay will be held accountable by military law. Although he drank a lot of alcohol, the pigeon crew immediately knocked on the door of the deputy chief of the intelligence section with a letter. Then the deputy section chief was also frightened out of a cold sweat, and found the criminal military judge of the garrison, and then the criminal military judge once again rushed through half of Dak City in the wind and snow to find their superior, the military judge of the Supervision Office in the expeditionary force - this was really an urgent night, in fact, until the last process of this communication link, Wu Bin, the highest-ranking person in charge of the Supervision Office's military justice department in Dak, was woken up by his subordinates with cold water, and it was only forty minutes after receiving the carrier pigeon.

At this time, the envoys of the Governor's Mansion had just set off with Zichuan Shenxing's handwritten request for help and rebellion against the military order, and they took the road before the Supervision Department occupied the east gate of the imperial capital, and ran all the way in the direction of Dak in the wind and snow. At this rate, it would take them four hours to reach Duck City, nearly two hundred miles away, even if they were desperately on their way.

In 781, Di Lin overrode public opinion and invested heavily in the construction of a carrier pigeon transmission system for the Supervision Department, which has been criticized by his subordinates. Because the carrier pigeon is a delicate animal, it is very expensive to cultivate a group of carrier pigeons in every city that can be put into use. And carrier pigeons are easy to be shot and hunted, and there are often things like lost pigeons and lost letters - the loss of carrier pigeons is still a trivial matter, and the leakage of confidential letters carried by carrier pigeons is terrible.

The Office of the Inspector General, which had spent a great deal of money from its precious budget, had built a communications system that was neither secure nor secure, and the heads of the Ombudsman and the Judge Advocate General's Office were very concerned about it. It's just that Lord Di Lin is arbitrary, and they can't help it, so they can only murmur behind their backs: "With this money, it is better to build a few post stations to be safe and practical." ”

But on the night of the Sanjie Rebellion, Di Lin finally proved his wisdom. His persistence paid off with a life-and-death four-hour win for the Inspectorate and a victory for Dilling.

At 1:50 p.m., Dark, the battalion of the expeditionary force in the barracks.

"My lord, Wu Bin's red-clothed flag is urgently asking to see you! He said there were 100,000 urgent things! ”

After being drunk and singing a lot by his subordinates last night, Sterling asked vaguely, "Did he say anything?" Can't wait until tomorrow? ”

"My lord, he didn't say. Otherwise. I drove him away? ”

The hangover was the most uncomfortable, and the headache and dizziness hit him in bursts, and Sterling almost agreed to the guard's suggestion, but thinking of Wu Bin's identity, he hesitated: nominally, Wu Bin was his subordinate, but in fact, he was the highest-ranking officer of the Supervision Office in the expeditionary force. Although this man is a technical officer. But he is not a nerd who doesn't know how to do things, he came to him in the middle of the night in such an emergency, and he definitely wouldn't be the first to say Happy New Year to himself.

Could it be that the Ombudsman Office is in a hurry?

He sighed, "Let him in—and make me a cup of tea." ”

The entrance of the fragrant and thick strong tea made Sterling feel a lot more sober. Before he could finish a cup of tea, Wu Bin, who was covered in snow, had already rushed in with the cold wind outside the door.

Sterling smiled and motioned for him to sit down, and asked the orderly to pour him tea as well: "Wu Hongyi, let's take a sip of tea to warm up first, this snow monster is big." Everyone drank a lot tonight and came in the middle of the night. You're also working hard. ”

"Thank you, sir!" Wu Bin saluted Sterling before sitting down in his seat, but did not move the tea in front of him: "The lower official recklessly beat the Jews and rested." There was really an emergency messenger in the hall, and I had to disturb the adults. Please forgive me. ”

Sterling smiled: "What kind of urgent errand?" Is there some major violation of discipline in our army that has alarmed the hall? Or which serious criminal is hidden in our place? There are more than 100,000 people in the expeditionary force, and the good and the bad are mixed, and I am afraid that the matter of committing a traitor is still inevitable! ”

"If it's just those little things, the lower officials wouldn't dare to come in the middle of the night to alarm you. A few thieves, we took him down with our hands, how dare you come in the middle of the night to alarm you. It's just that this thing really makes us scratch our heads. ”

Wu Bin took out a thin piece of letter paper from his arms: "There is an urgent letter from the hall, asking us to hand over this thing to your lord immediately, and he also told him that this is a hundred thousand urgent matters, and someone may die sooner." ”

"Someone died?" Sterling's expression became solemn. He took the letterhead handed over by Wu Bin, and recognized it at a glance, this was Di Lin's handwriting, and the content was only one line: "The commander-in-chief of the army, Chang Mingshi, asks to only kill me with the wind, and the whole chaotic family talks about the speed of training to save an episode!" ”

After a few seconds, Sterling had already read the meaning: "The chief wants to kill my whole family, come and save it!" ”

This is Dilling's distress letter!

Stirling was shocked, Huo Ran stood up, stared at Wu Bin and shouted, "What else did the order say?" ”

Sterling snorted. Wu Bin was so frightened that he shrank back, and replied in a snort: "I didn't say anything, but I repeatedly emphasized that this is a very urgent matter, and I have to race against time......

"Race against time!" Crumpling the letterhead in his hand and holding it tightly in his palm, Sterling anxiously walked back and forth in the room, his eyebrows tightly knit and his expression grim.

He stopped and shouted outside the house, "Wake up the guards, assemble!" Prepare your horses and get ready to go! ”

"Yes, sir!"

There was a chaotic noise, the shouting of the officers, the neighing of the war horses, and the sound of the assembly order were mixed together, Wu Bin looked at Sterling who was sitting in danger in confusion, and then looked at the soldiers running rapidly outside the door, puzzled.

After a while, Stirling's escort officer entered the room and announced: "Lord Qiyu, all two hundred and ten guards have been assembled, and the horses are ready, and we can set off at any time!" ”

Sterling nodded pretentiously and strode out. But as he was going out, he suddenly stopped, hesitated, and glanced at his guard suspiciously: in the snow, the guard of more than two hundred people had been assembled, and stood energetically leading the horse in the courtyard and on the street by the door.

For some reason, Sterling stopped at the door, his brow furrowed and his eyes deep, as if he were considering something serious.

After a while, Sterling made a decision. He shouted: "All the guards, disband!" Regardless of the wide open mouths of his subordinates in surprise, he said to Wu Bin: "Wu Hongyi, it seems that you have to accompany me to the imperial capital, and set off immediately, is there a problem?" ”

"Yes, my lord, no problem!" Although surprised. But Wu Bin replied without the slightest hesitation. He had realized that tonight was strange.

He said, "Your Excellency, you don't bring the guards? Although there is no war now, it is more than 200 miles from Dak to Didu, and it is all wilderness, and maybe some thieves will haunt it. Your safety, my lord, is at stake for the whole army, so it's best to bring the guards. ”

Sterling looked at him, twitching the corners of his mouth silently, a layer of worry between his eyebrows. Of course, he knew that what Wu Bin said was reasonable. But in order to save the lives of Di Lin and Lin Xiujia, he must go back to the imperial capital in person, and maybe he will disobey the will of the commander-in-chief. In this way, you must be very cautious in your actions. Returning with hundreds of guards with great fanfare, this may give the chief the impression that he is coercing the chief with the army to agree - the cautious Sterling simply did not bring a single guard, only the military judge of the army into the imperial capital, and no one could find fault.

"Wu Bin Hongyi, don't worry, I know a little about martial arts. A few thieves can't help us. ”

I remembered that Sterling was still a well-known master of the family. Wu Bin was relieved: "That is, adults are strong in martial arts, so naturally there is no need to worry about this." ”

Wenxin Group Falcon Wind, for trial reading only, please indicate for reprinting, and please support the genuine version.

"That's good. Let's go. ”

Instructing the soldiers to bring two snow cloaks covering their heads, Sterling and Wu Bin passed through the ranks of the soldiers and walked straight to their mounts. The two jumped on their horses and ran out of the gates of Dak City in the snowstorm and rushed towards the imperial capital.

The sky was dark and dreary, and there was not a single starry sky in sight, only black clouds pressing down one after another, and the road was covered with snow, and the horses' hooves stepped on it and made a dull echo, splashing a layer of flying snow. On both sides of the road is a vast expanse of snow. Everything on the earth was covered with snow, and only a white expanse remained. Although there is no starlight or moonlight, there is a reflection of snow light, and the road is clear at a glance.

Along the way, cold winds and flying snow blew in your face. Both of them wore their cloaks tightly, but the cold wind still carried the snow through the cracks in their collars, and under the influence of body temperature, the snow turned into water, and it was wet and cold and uncomfortable.

After running out for hundreds of miles in one go. Both of them felt tired, the horses were almost numb in their feet, and the horses began to pout, so they had to find a sheltered side of the woods to rest, and also let the horses recover their strength.

The two of them wrapped their cloaks tightly and sat against each other against the trunk of the tree, watching the snow slowly fall before their eyes.

"This ghost weather, so heavy snow, it's really unbearable!" Wu Bin muttered, peeking at Sterling from time to time, trying to find some clues from him. Tonight's events really made him too confused.

Sterling kept flapping the snowflakes on his body, and looked up at the dark sky from time to time, looking calm. What appeared between the eyebrows of this young and ambitious general was a solemn melancholy. After a while, he replied, "We made a mistake tonight." ”

"Huh?"

"I was in such a hurry just now that I forgot to prepare two more mounts, so that we can get all the way to the imperial capital without stopping."

Wu Bin only heard that his scalp was numb, and he had been in a hurry for two hours just now, and the inner side of his thighs was worn out, and it was a hot pain, and he finally found a chance to rest. Unexpectedly, Sterling was thinking of rushing back non-stop.

He was speechless, and finally couldn't help asking: "My lord, what are we going to do in such a hurry back?" ”

Sterling glanced at him lightly, and suddenly smiled: "You don't know? ”

Wu Bin honestly admitted: "I really don't know. ”

"Wu Hongyi, I don't think you must have been born as a military judge?"

Wu Bin was surprised: "My lord, you are right! I was originally the technical director of 777, and then I was appointed as the commander of the 101st Special Division, commanding the technical arms - but how did you guess it? ”

"A full-time military judge wouldn't talk so much. They all know that they don't know what they don't know. ”

Wu Bin blushed, got up and said, "I'm really sorry, the lower official is really ignorant and rude, please ...... your lordship."

"Sit down, I don't blame you." Sterling's handsome face was pale in the snowlight, and his eyes were deep and focused. He looked out over the endless snowfield, and at the end of the white snowfield, there was only a swarthy line of trees left in the distance.

"Military judges are supposed to be fair and strict, but I don't feel very good about your colleagues, who are more like machines than people. I don't know how the Supervision Office usually cultivates you, and if you enter the Supervision Department, you must cut off the seven emotions and six desires. But does keeping a straight face and not smiling mean that you are fair and strict? Not necessarily, right? ”

Turning his gaze back to Wu Bin, Sterling smiled and said, "Wu Hongyi, you are the most humane military judge I have ever met—how to say it—you are very human." ”

Hearing such comments, Wu Bin didn't know whether he should laugh or be modest, he said hesitantly: "Well, my lord praises it falsely." This, the lower officials dare not be ashamed, this ......"

"I'm not complimenting you." Sterling said seriously.

Wu Bin didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, Sterling quickly changed the subject: "What do you think about Inspector General Dilin?" ”

"Lord Dilin?" Wu Bin was stunned, and he replied, "Lord Dilin is upright and stern, strong-willed, and will never compromise on all kinds of evil deeds. In the Great Patriotic War, he used his soldiers like a god, strategized and repelled the army of demons, and was the pillar of the country......"

Sterling interrupted him: "Wu Bin, I'm asking about your personal opinion. ”

"Personal impressions?" Wu Bin was deflated all of a sudden, he shook his head with a wry smile: "My lord, as you know, Lord Di Lin is our top boss. What can we think of him as subordinates? In normal times, Lord Di Lin treats his subordinates very leniently, as long as he does not violate military law, fights bravely, and commits no matter how big a mistake he makes, he can protect us. But if he violates the rules of adults, his punishment will be merciless. If you talk about opinions...... I'm scared of him. ”

"yes...... I'm afraid of him. Sterling sighed, the arrogant figure in his mind. Hoping that others will be afraid of him instead of loving him, perhaps, this is also his hope.

But why did the chief kill him and Lin Xiujia?

It came so suddenly. There was no warning beforehand, which made Sterling wonder.

Thinking that Dilling was in danger and that he couldn't arrive in time, Sterling was anxious.

He stood up first: "Let's go, it's almost time to rest." ”

Wu Bin hadn't rested enough, but he didn't dare to refuse Sterling, so he had to get up with a wry smile and complain, "Ouch, my lord." In the middle of the night in this weather, you really found me a good errand! Besides us, Xia Guan really can't think of anyone else who will come out in the middle of the night......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a dull sound of horses' hooves in the distance on the avenue, and the two looked at each other, and in the dark night, a group of knights came from the direction of the imperial capital, and their figures passed by like fire in the darkness, and disappeared at the end of the avenue in an instant.

Seeing the figures of the cavalry disappear, Wu Bin smiled: "What are you talking about?" Besides us, there are such unlucky people! Sterling wondered, what was the urgency of such a group of knights? Are you in such a hurry to leave in the middle of the night? But soon, the worry about Di Lin took over all his mind, and he quickly put this matter behind him - at this time, whether it was Stirling or Wu Bin, none of them thought that it was the messenger from the Imperial Governor's Mansion who had just passed by them.

The Messenger would never have imagined that they had already passed by their target for help by the woods halfway through the road. Despite their anxious desperate efforts, they were not destined to reach the Duck camp. A few miles in front of the camp, they were ambushed by the gendarmerie units of the expeditionary force, and eventually all of them were killed, and none of them escaped.

And these things, Sterling can't think of now. He and Wu Bin braved the wind and snow, and in the cold night and dark wind at three o'clock in the morning, they straddled the stiff and cold saddle and ran towards the imperial capital, the skin on the inner thighs was worn out, and it was hot and painful, and all they thought about was worrying about Di Lin's life.

"My lord, there is Wangdu Mausoleum in front!" Wu Bin stuck his head out of his cloak, and his voice sounded dry and cold in the snowy night: "After this mountain, we will arrive at the first checkpoint on the outskirts of the imperial capital. It's so cold, it's time for the sentries at the checkpoint to go back and get under the covers, right? ”

Looking at the swarthy hill ahead, Sterling nodded silently, and stabbed the spur hard at his feet. The horse was in pain, and swooped out, and the two of them sped across the hill.

Suddenly, the two of them restrained their horses at the same time, and looked at them in shock: the checkpoint that was expected to be dark and dark was brightly lit at the moment. In the snowstorm, a large group of black-cloaked cavalrymen carried blazing torches to illuminate the two-cabin checkpoint. At the same time, they noticed that the flag flying over the checkpoint was not the usual red flying eagle flag, but a blue and gold sword and shield cross pattern flag.

The two of them restrained their horses at the same time. He looked at the flag in disbelief.

"Wu Hongyi, I remember that the Wangdu Ling checkpoint is subordinate to the Central Army of the Imperial Capital." As he spoke, Sterling turned his head and glanced at Wu Bin, with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Wu Bin was awe-struck and immediately replied, "My lord, I don't know either." ”

Suddenly, a rude shout came from behind him, "Who are you?" Hold it! ”

Several gendarmes rushed out of the shade of the trees on the side of the road, and an officer shouted at the two men: "Dismount immediately." Get checked! ”

Wu Bin asked angrily, "Who are you?" Why are we being examined? ”

"We belong to the Ombudsman, and we have the right to ......"

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu is also from the Supervision Department, and he is bigger than you!"

The argument alarmed the checkpoint over there. Immediately, more than fifty horsemen rushed to this side, and a few paces away, they stopped their horses and slowly surrounded them.

Stirling was immediately alert, and he shouted: "I'm Sterling, which unit are you from?" ”

Hearing Stirling's name, there was a commotion among the cavalrymen.

Someone replied, "Master Stirling." We are part of the Office of the Ombudsman. Ordered to carry out a mission here. ”

"The Ombudsman? Whose subordinates are you? ”

"It's Lord Dilin's subordinates." An officer stepped out of the crowd, jumped out of his saddle, and strode towards Stirling: "More precisely. It's my men. ”

A few steps in front of Sterling, he stopped and took off his helmet, and Sterling saw a familiar face. The officer gave Stirling a cursory salute and said, "Chief of Military Affairs, it's been a long time. I've been waiting here for a long time. ”

Looking at this person, Sterling frowned: "Gopra? Are you waiting for me here? ”

"Exactly. Lord Di Lin said, Chief Officer, you are very righteous, and after receiving the news, you will inevitably come overnight, and the next officials and others only need to wait here to see you. The lord was clever, and everything was as he expected. ”

Stirling a flurry. His pupils slowly contracted: "Is it Di Lin's arrangement?" ”

Gopra nodded faintly.

"So, the flying pigeon biography is also fake?"

"The news is not false. Just a few hours ago, Zichuan Shenxing instructed Luo Minghai to murder my family, but fortunately he was repelled by my heroic soldiers of the Supervision Department, and Lord Di Lin was safe and sound. ”

"Dilin is safe and sound......" Sterling repeated slowly, his face was pale and he couldn't see anything, but those who knew him well had already seen it, and the corners of the military chief's eyes twitched slightly. His face turned pale.

He smiled at Gopra: "Since Di Lin is fine, then I am worried in vain." In the middle of the night, I was quite tired from the journey, so I took the first step. ”

He turned his horse's head and tried to turn back, but Gopra took a step forward, grabbed him by the rope, and looked up to Sterling and said, "Your Excellency has arrived here, why don't you go into the city to meet my lord before leaving?" No matter how simple my supervision office is, a comfortable bed can still be provided, so why should adults go far and wide? ”

Sterling smiled: "It's such a midnight, you don't have to bother Gopra." ”

"My lord, you won't go into the city to see my lord when you get here, which will make the lower officials very embarrassed, and Lord Dilin will punish us for not being hospitable and neglecting you. Could it be that we did something wrong and made you angry? Gopra said politely, but his hand held the reins tightly, and there was no smile on his face.

The two looked at each other silently for a long time, their eyes slashing in the air like blades, and neither of them spoke. Everyone knows that at this point, it is impossible to continue to pretend to be polite.

Stirling coldly popped out two words from between his teeth: "What a guts!" ”

"The subordinate officials don't dare, they just act as ordered."

"Has His Highness been killed?"

"I don't know."

"What about His Highness Ning?"

"I don't know."

"And what do you know?"

"Xia Guan only knows that he will take you with him tonight."

"What if I say no?"

Gopra smiled, and didn't see him make any moves, when suddenly there was a sharp sound of breaking wind in the air, and Stirling's horse suddenly let out a terrible neigh, and his front hooves fell to his knees, and then he overturned. In its neck, there were several piercing holes of blood, and blood was gurgling out.

Before the horse could fall to the ground, Sterling had already jumped nimbly off the horse's back. The mount that had followed him for many years lay dying on the ground, hooves kicking the dirt weakly, his eyes still pleading at his master, and a low wail came out of his mouth.

Sterling looked at the war horse sadly, he squatted down, covered the eyes of the war horse with one hand, and touched the artery in the neck of the war horse with the other hand. In an instant, the war horse had finished wailing and closed its eyes forever.

At this point, Sterling stood up again. He looked at Gopra squarely: "The family has been in the country for three hundred years, and the grace is still inexhaustible, and the luck is still there. Although there are powerful ministers who can be strong for a while, but the rebels never die well, Yang Minghua and the like are enough to serve as a lesson from the past, which is also the number of days. I hope you can convey this sentence to Di Lin. Gopra bowed slightly, and said solemnly: "The next official must convey it." But why don't you tell Lord Dilin personally? ”

Stirling looked into the distance, and on the horizon, the towering megacity emerged in the dawn light. He shook his head, a word choked in his heart, and he didn't intend to say it to the person in front of him.

In the past, we were like brothers and sisters, sharing life and death; At this moment, you have become a national thief. Even if we meet, what else can we say?

Stirling looked at Gopra: "Your Excellency is no longer a courtier of my family, nor is he my subordinate, and there is no need to mention the word "lower official" again." ”

Gopra silently.

"That's all that needs to be said. The rest is time to crusade against the national thieves! ”

Gopra hurriedly jumped a few steps back, hid out of Stirling's blade, and shouted, "Don't you think about it again, my lord?" Lord Dilin is your dear friend, do you have to use force to hurt your anger? ”

Sterling ignored him, resting his hand on the hilt of his sword. At this moment, the murderous aura that soared into the sky rose in vain.

The momentum was as solemn as substance rushed towards him, and Gopra did his best to hold his body, he breathed rapidly, and kept backing back, and back—not only him, but the whole team was backing back, and the soldiers could not resist the terrible coercion, and staggered backwards.

The horses neighed, roared, and pouted, and despite the soldiers' desperate efforts to hold on to the reins, they turned and fled, refusing to even call their masters back. Animal instincts tell them that there is an invincible beast in front of them, and they must never be approached.

Stirling is horrible!

Gopra complained bitterly, he hadn't felt this way when he was an ally before, but when he was on the opposing side, he really understood the power of the "Tiger of the Purple River". Sterling's martial arts have reached an incredible level, his sword is unsheathed, but his momentum has suppressed the audience. Under his coercion, it would be good for the soldiers to stand firm, and they couldn't come forward to attack in close quarters.
