Chapter 47-2: Wolf Smoke (Part II)
The carriage moved forward again, I lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw the first archway I saw in the distance when I came to Taimiao before. Thinking of the disgusting and terrifying scene of the insect corpses everywhere last time, I still can't help but feel a little sick to my stomach, these few days, those insect corpses must have been cleaned up by the later Yulin Army, thinking of the appearance of those delicate and expensive official children cleaning the insect corpses, I don't know if I was scared a few, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone in front of him shouting: "Stop!" Who trespassed on the important land of Taimiao? ”
Looking up, I saw a row of Yu Linlang standing upright on both sides of the road in front of him, and the Changyu in his hands crossed each other to block the road and stopped the convoy. How do you know that this team of Yulin Army is not selling, the leading captain respectfully but coldly said: "Two adults, the emperor has a decree, during the blessing period, no one is allowed to enter the temple, and you can enter without giving the queen mother's decree, forgive the end will be rude, please go back!" ”
"Presumptuous!" King Jing, the Nine Kings and the adults saw that the little Yulin army commander didn't even sell the Queen Mother's edict, so they couldn't help but be furious and got out of the car one after another. King Jing said angrily: "You dare not even pay attention to the queen mother's decree, you are simply committing the following crimes, believe it or not, this king will treat you with the crime of disrespect!" ”
"Lord Wang, Yulin Army is the personal guard of the Son of Heaven, and he only listens to the orders of the Son of Heaven." The commander of the Yulin army said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The last general only knows how to carry out the emperor's military orders, and if you want to reduce the crime, you will also have the emperor's orders!" ”
"You!" King Jing was furious, and took a step forward, and the spear of the Yulin Army was immediately sent forward in unison, which really shook King Jing in place, and he couldn't attack. Seeing that King Jing had eaten the turtle, the Nine Kings took two steps forward and smiled gently at the captain: "What is the name of this soldier commander?" ”
"The last general, Shi Yuzhen, the pioneer of the right battalion of the Yulin Army." The captain of the Feather Forest Army replied with a fist clenched. The Nine Kings nodded slightly: "It turned out to be Shi Xianxian, this king and all the adults came here on the orders of the Queen Mother, and there is indeed something important to ask to see the emperor, if the pioneer can't be the master, can you ask Xiao to come out and let me discuss with him?" ”
Since the former commander of the Yulin Army Palace, Li Nanshan, the former commander of the Yulin Military Palace, resigned due to the case of Wei Xiang, the former commander of the Yulin Military Palace, the commander of the left and right Yulin Army and other important positions, all of which were replaced by a group of generals appointed by the emperor, all of whom were the emperor's confidants. Jiuwang Su is friendly with the courtiers, and he wants to have some friendship with Commander Na Xiao, otherwise he would never say such a thing in front of the vanguard of this Yulin Army, obviously sweeping the face of King Jing. King Jing's face was really gloomy, since the two clashed in the Silent Mansion, whether it was at the Queen Mother today or in front of them, there were faint signs of tearing their faces, but it was not at the last moment, and they still maintained a fragile harmony that could be broken on the surface. As soon as the words fell, a person's laughter came from the front: "His Royal Highness the Ninth wants to see the last general, how dare the last general hide aside!" ”
But he saw a young general walking in front of him, stepping into the spear formation without squinting, and Changyu was folded in front of him in rows, and fell back to his original state in a row behind him in a neat row, and the military appearance was neat, even King Jing and the others were also moved by two points on their faces. Thinking that the notoriety of the Yulin Army is not a matter of one or two days, the emperor has changed the appearance of the army in just over a year after taking back power, and it seems that the generals he appointed are not incompetent. The Nine Kings smiled and said, "Commander Xiao has a good military discipline!" ”
"It is the duty of a soldier to abide by military discipline and carry out military orders!" Commander Xiao stood in front of everyone, clasped his fists and said, "The last general has seen the two princes and all the adults!" ”
"Commander Xiao, this king and others have come to see the emperor on the order of the queen mother, and there is something important to discuss, please let me go in!" King Jing couldn't get used to seeing the Nine Kings and Xiao Wuwang set up, so he said with a calm face.
"His Royal Highness King Jing, the last general also said just now that it is the duty of a soldier to abide by military discipline and carry out military orders!" Commander Xiao smiled, "The emperor ordered the last general to strictly guard the temple and not let anyone enter, even if there is the queen mother's decree, the last general will not dare to obey!" ”
"You ......" I didn't expect this Xiao Wuwang to come out, but he was still not allowed to enter, King Jing was cut by a small pioneer and a forbidden army commander in a row, and he could no longer pretend to be benevolent, his face was also distorted, and he said sharply, "Give you three points of color, you opened the dye room, a small Yulin army commander dared to run rampant in front of this king, you really dare not enter this king?" I want to see if your spears dare to pierce a few holes in this king's body! ”
I frowned, this King Jing really didn't choose to speak. But he heard that Xiao Wuwang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Jing, you are delicate and expensive, and the last general will not dare to hurt your daughter's body, but if you are tied up and sent to the emperor to pray for blessings, the last general is willing to do it for you!" ”
"Bold!" The guard beside King Jing reprimanded angrily, "If you dare to be rude to the prince, you will not be killed!" With that, he attacked Xiao Wuwang. Xiao Wuwang accepted the invitation and said with a smile: "What kind of thing are you, a lackey in the palace, you dare to move your hands and feet against the Son of Heaven's personal guards, is it really the opposite?" As he spoke, he slapped a palm on the guard's left shoulder, and the guard staggered back two steps, his face was angry, and he was about to step forward, when King Jing shouted: "Stop! ”
The guard froze, bowed and retreated behind King Jing. King Jing's face gradually softened, and he stretched out the Empress Dowager's decree in front of Xiao Wuwang, and said slowly: "Commander Xiao, since you refuse to let me wait in!" Then the queen mother's decree will be presented to the emperor, if the emperor still insists on refusing to see us, we will leave the temple immediately! ”
"This ......" Xiao Wuwang hesitated, as if considering whether King Jing's statement was in line with the rules. The Nine Kings took the edict in King Jing's hand, handed it to Xiao Wuwang, and took the opportunity to say: "Commander Xiao, the emperor said that no one would be allowed to enter the Taimiao, and he didn't say that he would not let items enter, not to mention that this is still the edict of the Queen Mother, why don't you ask the emperor for instructions on my behalf, it is not a violation of the military order." ”
Xiao Wuwang nodded, before he could speak, there was a sudden sound of "da-da" horse hooves behind me, everyone looked at it in amazement, but saw a horse suddenly running over on the official road behind him, but immediately it was a soldier in military uniform, but it was not the special military uniform of the Yulin Army, but the military uniform of the regular army of Tiancao Kingdom, the soldier saw the convoy, turned over and dismounted, and quickly ran to the front of the nine kings and knelt down and said: "Lord Qiqi Supervisor, wolf smoke is burning on the Great Wall in the northern suburbs, and the border pass in the northern border is in an emergency!" ”
"What?" The Nine Kings were taken aback, and King Jing and the other ministers also looked suspicious, and said one after another, "What's going on?" ”
"The urgent report from the border pass has not yet arrived, but the wolf smoke on the beacon tower has been burning from the Great Wall in the north." The soldier said, "The urgent report from the border should be delivered later!" ”
Everyone hurriedly looked north, only to see that above the northern sky, black smoke really rose, and there was a pillar every other distance, but they heard Xiao Wuwang say in disbelief: "How can there be wolf smoke?" In the past 20 years, our Tiancao Dynasty has only burned wolf smoke three times, and each time it was a large-scale invasion by enemy troops. After the battle of the Northern Frontier five years ago, the Chenxing Kingdom in the north was greatly damaged, and it was impossible to organize a large-scale invasion, how could the northern border pass ignite the wolf smoke? ”
Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing with Xiao Wuhope's words, but King Jing turned around and snorted softly: "Commander Xiao, the northern border is in an emergency, don't you go and report to the emperor for such an urgent matter?" ”
Xiao Wuwang's face changed, but he didn't accept King Jing's words, took the queen mother's decree, turned around and rushed in. The door of the spear array opened and closed, and everyone looked at the black smoke curling above the sky with different expressions, each guessing what was going on at the northern border pass. I also couldn't sit still, I didn't care about my leg injury, I got out of the car, looked at the black smoke that rolled and tangled like a giant snake in the sky, frowned, this sudden war was definitely an accident in the plan of the emperor or King Jing, when the emperor knew that the border was in an emergency, could he still hide in the Taimiao and implement his plan to eradicate dissidents?
Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Wuwang hurriedly rushed out and said to everyone: "Lord Wang, my lords, the emperor has summoned you to enter!" ”
