Chapter 102, Martial Soldiers

A group of people gathered around the prince of Jiayun and chattered in a mess, and everyone was not concerned about how Canglei City or the Tianqing Kingdom would defend against foreign enemies, but whether the Tianlan Empire would send reinforcements again, and when they would be able to expel Dark Flame from the country.

"Shut up for me! Announcing the Emperor's will, except for the Canglei Academy, the rest of the participating teams will return to the academy as soon as possible and be at the disposal of the kingdom at any time. State affairs are important, I hope you will work together, if anyone is passive and neglectful, delaying the military situation, it will be severely punished!" Although Prince Jiayun has a peaceful temperament, he still can't hold back the anger in his chest, reprimands everyone with a loud shout, and leaves in a hurry.

More than 100 people in the fifteen academies have completely lost their minds, staying in the imperial city is disobeying the emperor's orders, and after returning to the academy, it is also unpredictable, the Dark Flame Empire is notorious, with Tianqing's own military strength, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Tang Lang glanced at Ji Fengyu and found that the other party was also a little undecided, and asked in a deep voice: "Mentor, what should we do?" I suggest rushing back to Canglei City immediately, there are defenders in the city and the teachers and students of the academy to hold on, and it should be able to support until the arrival of the kingdom army!"

What Tang Lang said is also the voice of several of the team members, all of them have relatives and friends who are still in Canglei City and don't know the news, and everyone is eager to give birth to two wings and fly back.

Ji Fengyu's face was solemn, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Tang Lang, I can understand your feelings, but the battle between the two armies is not trivial, let alone you, even I am not sure that I can enter the city through the enemy blockade, let alone whether the defenders in the city will treat us as spies." Don't be reckless yet, let's go find out the news together and figure out the situation before making a decision. After speaking, Ji Fengyu also glanced at Zhao Feiyu with his eyes, and motioned to Tang Lang to ask him for assistance.

Tang Lang understood, turned his head, and asked softly: "Filipino, can you take me to find Prince Jiayun, I want to know more clearly, grandpa and his old man stay in the academy, I really don't worry!"

Zhao Feiyu didn't agree, went up and grabbed Tang Lang's arm, and hurriedly said, "I know you must be worried, hurry up and follow me to chase the imperial brother!"

The two hurriedly ran for half a pillar of incense in the direction Zhao Jiayun left, and finally caught up with Prince Jiayun at the gate of the Royal Academy.

"Filipino royal sister, do you want to go back to the palace with me to comfort my father? Since receiving the military information last night, my father has stayed up all night, and has been summoning the senior officers of the army to communicate about the counterattack, and he happened to go with me to persuade him. Zhao Jiayun thought that Zhao Feiyu was going to return to the palace with him, and a trace of an ugly smile appeared on his face.

"Well, I definitely want to go back to the palace with you to take care of my father! But now, I want to help Tang Lang inquire about Canglei's situation, his grandfather is still in the academy!" Zhao Feiyu heard that Zhao Tianze had worked so hard for state affairs that he forgot to sleep and eat, and he was very worried in his heart, but he still did not forget Tang Lang's entrustment.

Zhao Jiayun looked at Tang Lang, who was following Zhao Feiyu, and after thinking for a while, he said: "When it comes to military secrets, I shouldn't have told you! But the situation of Canglei Academy is special, and Tang Lang is a student representative, so I will reveal some things that are not too important to you a little, but you must promise not to spread them!"

At noon three days ago, the Dark Flame army appeared in the town outside the Morting jungle, and instantly razed the town to the ground, and only a few people took advantage of the chaos to flee back to Canglei City to report the news.

On the one hand, he sent a scout horse to check the news, and on the other hand, he fed back the situation back to the cabinet through the communication formation, and was delayed by the cabinet for a day to reply, delaying the fighter.

The Dark Flame army traveled day and night, and by the time Canglei City found it, it was already less than ten miles away, and it was too late. Shang Yuanqing could only summon all the nearby garrisons into the city and send an urgent battle report to the imperial city. After the Dark Flame army was surrounded, the formation had been used to interfere with the transmission, and now no one knew what was going on in Canglei City.

Tang Lang frowned even more after hearing this, and tentatively asked a key question: "Your Royal Highness, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, can you reveal how many defenders and grain and grass there are in Canglei City now? The road from the Imperial City to Canglei is long, and it will take at least ten days for the army to march, if you don't send reinforcements from the nearby Luning and Tong'an prefectures, will it be a little late?"

Zhao Jiayun shook his head and said: "The dispatch of the army is all confidential, even if it is the Filipino royal sister, I have nothing to say." Tang Lang, don't worry about you and your teammates, return to Canglei with the army later, this is the safest way. ”

Tang Lang knew that it was unlikely to ask for more information from the other party, and he was even more anxious, and he thought of a countermeasure: "Your Highness, the army will always send scouts to spy on the enemy, I am willing to lead the Canglei trainees as a team of scouts to sneak into the vicinity of Canglei City to collect the enemy's information, even if it is discovered, it will not arouse the vigilance of the enemy army, and we will definitely think that we are Canglei trainees who escaped from the city." ”

"No! Tang Lang, it's too dangerous to do this, I won't allow you to go!" Before Zhao Jiayun could answer, Zhao Feiyu disagreed first.

"Filipino, I have to go! If grandpa has an accident, I can't regret it. We had encountered the Dark Flame Scouts in the Murting Jungle before, and if it weren't for them, it wouldn't have hurt Zilan to save me from her life, and I would take revenge for this. Tang Lang's tone was resolute and categorical.

"What? You have encountered the Dark Flame Scout in the jungle before, why didn't you report such important information? You actually dared to deliberately conceal it, what kind of crime should you be guilty of!" Zhao Jiayun heard that Tang Lang had already known that the Dark Flame Scout was haunting the jungle, and immediately became furious, and immediately wanted to punish Tang Lang.

Tang Lang's temper also rushed up: "Why didn't you report it?" The dean of the Canglei Sect personally passed the situation to the military, but no one paid attention to it at all, and said that we were demagoguery. If you had been alerted at the time, where would you be so passive now!"

"Brother Huang, Tang Lang is telling the truth! I was all present after the incident, and there was not a word of falsehood!" Zhao Feiyu also corroborated from the side.

Zhao Jiayun was even more angry: "These guys who have misled the country and the people! I will go and report to my father and the emperor now, and put them all in prison for punishment!"

"Your Highness is angry! Now is the time to employ people, and I am afraid that the army's morale will be turbulent when dealing with important military personnel before the war!" The guards on the side saw his reaction and were so frightened that they hurriedly persuaded him.

Finally calming down his anger, Zhao Jiayun glanced at Tang Lang deeply, and then said, "Can you guarantee that all of your team members are loyal to the kingdom? After all, when the national crisis is at hand, there is no guarantee that everyone can be loyal to the monarch and patriotic!"

Tang Lang sneered: "Only politicians and aristocrats are for."

Protecting one's own interests and committing rebellious acts. My brothers, everyone has relatives and friends who need to be guarded trapped in Canglei City, and they will only hate the Dark Flame Army even more, so don't worry at all!"

"Okay, for the sake of the imperial sister, I will believe you once! Guard Li, pass me the order, take Tang Lang to the army to receive a military service, and send him and the Canglei team to temporarily act as scouts to find out the news for the army!" Zhao Jiayun was moved by Tang Lang's words, and finally agreed to his request.

"Filipino royal sister, follow me into the palace to meet my father and mother, I really need you to comfort them at this time!" Zhao Jiayun just wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible, urging Zhao Feiyu to go with him.

"Tang Lang, you can't sneak back to Canglei alone, you have to come to me before you go back!" Zhao Feiyu was in a dilemma, wanting to follow Tang Lang to act together, but he was even more worried about his parents, so he could only let Tang Lang make a guarantee for the time being, and return to the palace with Zhao Jiayun.

Tang Lang looked at her distant back, and thought to himself: "Filipino, this trip is extremely risky, how can I let you accompany me to risk your life, you just stay in the imperial city honestly, and come to you after the Dark Flame army is repulsed!"

The guard surnamed Li saw that Tang Lang had a great relationship with the princess, and spoke in a very kind tone: "Tang Gongzi, the military situation is urgent, you can go to the barracks with me to get the documents and nameplates, and I will go back to give the prince his life." ”

"There are Lao guards!" Tang Lang has always eaten soft rather than hard, and he was also polite to the guards surnamed Li.

The two walked out of the Royal Academy together and came to a military camp in the city, because the guard surnamed Li was the prince's guard, so the military camp that Tang Lang brought to was also a Praetorian Guard camp directly under Zhao Jiayun.

The student files in each academy of the Tianqing Kingdom have been recorded in the imperial city, and the Praetorian Guard Barracks quickly verified Tang Lang's identity, and according to the requirements of the guards surnamed Li, Tang Lang was given a complete enlistment formalities, and an identity nameplate and a military uniform were issued.

"Tang Gongzi, because of the hurry, I can only hang you up within my direct scope first, be a military pawn, and wait for you to have military merits, and then give the prince of Ming a promotion!"

In the Tianqing Kingdom, as long as a student graduated from the sixteen academies, if he wanted to join the army, he would at least be assigned a "team leader" official position to be in charge of dozens or hundreds of subordinates, unlike Tang Lang, who was just a small "warrior", and there would be no more than twenty subordinates.

Tang Lang just wanted to borrow his identity to act conveniently, where would he mind this: "Guard Li, you are too polite! I have one more thing I want to ask, if we find the movement of the Dark Flame Army in Canglei City, I don't know who to report it?"

The guard surnamed Li was extremely familiar with the affairs of the army, and replied without thinking: "This is very simple! Tang Gongzi's position is scout, and the scouts in the Tianqing army can report the military situation to any garrison, and the garrison commander will use the communication formation method to summarize the information and transmit it back to the military high-level, if the garrison is negligent or shirks, they will have to bear serious consequences afterwards." ”

Seeing Tang Lang's suspicious look, the guard surnamed Li simply bought him a favor, took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Tang Lang: "Tang Gongzi, this is a special warrant for Prince Jiayun, give you a piece to facilitate your actions." If there is any special situation that requires the assistance of the garrison, as long as you show this token, the Tianqing military will definitely do their best to assist. ”
