Chapter Eighty-Seven: Drumming and Ruling the Army Like a Mountain
Early the next morning, the group asked the store to prepare dry food early, and left Yingchuan with a mighty hand, went out of the west gate, and went straight to the west.
Huo Quzhi was surrounded by Qiu Ping and Wan Ziyu and others, and his feelings were a little low, although Xue Qing's whereabouts were reported, how to know the truth from his uncle's mouth was still a big problem, and the key was how to face the anger of his uncle and the emperor when he went back.
The reckless children are the most apprehensive on the way home when they are picked up by their parents, but they think about it is just a beating, how big it is.
So Huo Qu's illness doesn't matter anymore.
Day and night, I guessed Chang'an for a few days. Wan Ziyu and Qiu Ping breathed a sigh of relief, found a wine shop to eat casually, and went to the shogunate.
Several people stood outside the White Tiger Hall, waiting to be summoned, Wei Qing first summoned Gao Tianbao, Tianbao reported Xue Qing's current specific location, and Xue Qing brought good wishes and warm blessings to her parents. It also holds high Tianbao to bring a huge string of pearls. Crystal clear, round and smooth, but unfortunately it was brought all the way by the treasure of the heavens in the small clothes, and it was already dirty and smelly by the sweat stains and dirt on the body.
Wei Qing picked up the pearl with the end of the brush with disgust, and couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only wait and tell the servant to take it and wash it carefully seventeen or eighteen times, soak it in the fragrant soup for another seven or eight days, and if it was washed clean and fragrant, he would send it to the princess.
Gao Tianbao also reported the things that he met Huo Quai's illness on the road, and finally said apologetically, because he couldn't provoke the hussar general, and he couldn't tell him about Xueqing's whereabouts, so he could only coax him to come back and ask the general, there was no way to do anything, but to lead the trouble to your head, ask for punishment, the implication is that you don't blame me, and I am not easy.
Wei Qing nodded: "Well, it's hard work, and I've wronged you, I was beaten by that kid with no head and no brain, in this way, you must strictly keep the secret of Miss's whereabouts by rewarding you with twenty gold, now Li Guangli's situation is unknown, I'm afraid it's not good for Miss, you rest for two days, wait for a certain to prepare some gifts for Miss, and then select some guards, you take them back." Let's go down. ”
Gao Tianbao respectfully said: "Oh, retire from your humble position." "My heart is happy, I am rich, I am rich, I will take advantage of this two-day holiday to hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law, why take one? Two, forget it, the girls in Jiaodong are sweet-looking, and the prices are low, unlike Chang'an, where aristocratic ladies are everywhere and it is difficult to serve, so go back to Jiaodong to marry, marry four, wow.
The next thing to summon was Qiu Ping, and when Qiu Ping finished saying everything, Wei Qing had to admire Li Guangli's ability to survive like Xiaoqiang, he was nailed to the ground by the halberd, and he could still come back to life, which was really fateful.
Wei Qing bowed slightly: "You did the right thing, Li Guangli's matter is not so important, the key is to bring Huo Quai's illness back in time, you don't have to worry about Li Guangli's side." Okay, let's go, Huo Quai, call in. ”
Huo Quzhi crept in, completely without the domineering spirit when waving the halberd outside Yingchuan City, the whole person was full of obscenity, hunched over, with a hippie smile on his face: "Hehe, uncle, it's a New Year's greeting to you, the New Year's money hasn't been given yet, go to the sick and kowtow to you, you can make up for the New Year's money......"
The general's face was pale, and he slapped his palm on several cases, and the brush inkstone paperweight token pot flew up. shouted: "Come on, tie up a certain person, please give the emperor a festival"
The left and right guards rushed up like wolves and grabbed Huo Quzhi, Huo Qubing was a little panicked, and instinctively wanted to struggle, so he was beaten by Ding, 451, and pressed to the ground, and tied his hands behind his back.
The herald on the left side of the lobby was a well-dressed man, and as soon as his clothes were taken off, his dark and toned upper body was revealed, and he picked up the drumstick and burst into a war drum, which was a huge war drum more than one person high, and the sound was more than ten miles away, and half of the city could hear it. When the generals and lieutenants who were on duty at the shogunate heard the news, they immediately threw down what they were doing and rushed to the courtyard outside the gate of the festival. I could only stop and look outside the door, and after a while, the courtyard was densely packed with people.
Two groups of soldiers, one in the lead, was armed with a long-handled axe, one more than one tall, and the axe at the top was shining gold. The other group was in the lead, holding the Emperor's Talisman in the air. The two teams walked out of the back hall and stood beside the incense table above the main seat with Jie Yue in their arms, and a majestic white tiger descending from the mountain was painted on the wall. Tiger Tiger Tiger.
A few small soldiers rushed in with the sacrifices, squeezed Li Guanggong, Sun Ao and other veterans aside, and put the sacrifices on the incense table in turn. A lieutenant lit three high incense sticks and handed them to Wei Qing with both hands.
Wei Qing held the high incense, knelt down, bowed to Jieyue nine times, personally inserted the incense in the incense burner, and then knelt down again, lying on the ground and chanting words.
At this time, the second drum sounded, and the rapid accent stirred the hearts of the people with a murderous aura. More and more officers came, crowded outside the door, and exchanged heads. Qiu Ping stepped on his feet and glanced over the generals in front of him, and was suddenly frightened, and shouted: "The general has invited out the festival and is burning incense and praying." The officers were in an uproar.
Li Dang and Zhao Ponu had just arrived, and when they heard this, they were shocked and said, "Stop it quickly, you can't kill it." ”
Wan Ziyu hurriedly said: "Military law is ruthless, and law enforcement is like a mountain. How can it be stopped, as soon as the military order of this White Tiger Festival Hall comes out, how can it be stopped......"
Zhao Polou turned his head and was about to run: "I'll go and ask the emperor ......"
Li Dang stretched out his hand and grabbed it: "You are stupid, it will take more than half an hour to go to Weiyang Palace, and thousands of heads have been cut off, where is the time." ”
Zhao Polou remembered to stomp his feet: "Then what to do, what do you say, this rammer birdman has already told him not to leave the barracks without permission, if you don't listen, I will ...... if you don't listen."
At this time, another subordinate of Huo Qubing said: "Rush up and save it, it's too late, and the third drum will be sounded soon." At that time, the gods will not be able to save me, so I will immediately contact the manpower. ”
Li Guang slapped him a few times angrily: "Are you crazy, why didn't you take you to the shogunate last time, let you die, brainless rammer, the Han army generals are here, you still dare to rob people, these generals' teeth will be directly torn up for you." Are you stupid, are you stupid. ”
The lieutenant stiffened his neck and said, "Then what do you say, do you have any way?" ”
Li Dang held the hilt of the sword at his waist and raised his hand and said, "Let me think about it." ”
Zhao Polou shouted: "What do you think, no matter how much you think about it, everyone will die." In a few moments, the drums will be beating. ”
As soon as the words fell, the drums of the war rang out again, and Li Dangyi pulled Zhao Polou and said, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
Just now, the lieutenant shouted, "Wait for me, I'll call a few people to go with me." ”
Li Dang kicked over and scolded: "No, go away, don't move." Look at mine. ”
The two pushed aside the crowd and walked in, Li dared to step into one foot, and was quickly grabbed by his father Li Guang's eyes, and almost planted his center of gravity unsteadily, Li Guang hurriedly said: "Don't die, get out, what are you going to do as a dead goods?" ”
Li Dare didn't have time to explain, shook his hand, and walked up quickly.
