Chapter 163: Panic
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Xiao Hao, the son of the general of Dingguo, brave and good at fighting, resourceful, repelled the enemy for Dayong, captured the leader of the Beimu Iron Cavalry, caught the enemy and spies, his eyes were like torches, Feng Xiao Hao was the commander of the left and right wing forward battalions, and gave a pair of Dongzhu, a set of official uniforms, a mansion, and 30 acres of fertile land."
Compared with Hang Yidong's reward, Xiao Hao's reward is not rich, but everyone present knows that Xiao Hao will be reused by the emperor in the future.
Hearing this, Xiao Hao got up and walked to Hang Yidong's side, and knelt down: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”
The emperor looked at Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong who were kneeling down, and then looked at the countless courtiers in this hall who were looking at him, and his heart suddenly surged with pride: "God bless me Dayong, not only found the problem of hunger that can solve the problem of hunger since ancient times, but also captured Aguna, the leader of the Beimu Iron Cavalry who has been harassing the border of Dayong, so that we have the capital to negotiate terms with the Beimu clan." "Food is the foundation of the country, with food represents the foundation of a country's survival, and grasping the leader of the enemy country, not only raised the national prestige of Dayong, but also got the capital for negotiation, maybe it can also plan a lot of benefits for Dayong.
Then Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong glanced at each other, Xiao Hao helped Hang Yidong to stand up, and returned to his position after receiving the holy decree.
When the other women present saw this scene, they were almost envious to death, how could Xiao Hao, a good man, get married young? Countless young ladies have a villain in their hearts who took Hang Yidong's puppet and tied it with several stitches, and finally threw the puppet to the ground and stepped on it a few times in anger.
The emperor looked at the appearance of this young couple holding each other, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Xiao Hao with inquiring eyes as if he remembered something: "Boy, I heard that when you dealt with the Beimu Iron Cavalry, the weapons you used for the soldiers were not ordinary. ”
When Xiao Hao heard this, he got up and bent slightly to the emperor, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said respectfully to the emperor: "Back to Your Majesty, it is Weichen who sees that the weapons of the soldiers are already rusty, and he is afraid that he will be at a disadvantage against the Beimu Iron Cavalry, which is already physically strong, so he took it upon himself to change the weapons of the soldiers, and asked the emperor to blame." ”
The emperor shook his head at Xiao Hao, although he is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, but if there is a stronger force to protect the people and land of Dayong, he will not refuse, after all, it is not that he does not want Dayong to become stronger, but that there are really no outstanding talents in these years.
Especially the Ministry of Industry, thinking about the time when he just ascended the throne, the people of the six departments had something to play every day like they had chicken blood, but now, they are all salted fish waiting for death, and even the emperor himself has to sigh about this change.
So yesterday, when he heard that the soldiers who fought against Beimu had changed into new weapons, and the attack and defense power were not to be underestimated, the emperor was also so happy that he was about to jump three feet, but he was shocked by the news that Xiao Haosheng had captured Aguna, and then he put this matter behind him, and he just remembered this matter on his own inspiration.
The emperor was very pleased, look at this boy kneeling on the ground, obviously he has made meritorious contributions, but in order not to make it difficult for him, he specially begged him to confess, what a caring child!
Thinking like this, the emperor's eyes softened even more when he looked at Xiao Hao: "What is there to blame for this?" Could it be that because you changed your useful weapon, we Dayong won the battle against Beimu, is it possible that you want me to blame you for this? ”
The pedantic and incompetent old minister on the side, because he was drunk and drunk, stood up with a drunken body, and said to the emperor: "Emperor, emperor, according to the rules, hiccup, all the weapons of my Dayong Dynasty should be issued directly by the imperial court, what is the matter for Lord Xiao to give them weapons?" It's not a private soldier, could it be said that Lord Xiao wants to rebel? ”
For a moment, the hall fell silent.
General Dingguo squeezed his hand and looked at Xiao Hao who was standing in the center with some concern.
Unexpectedly, before Xiao Hao opened his mouth, the prince stood up first and exonerated Xiao Hao: "Lord Yan, I see that you are drunk so you are talking nonsense, Lord Xiao is a hero who has just returned from a victory, you slander like this, I am afraid that my generals after Dayong will not dare to make any favorable moves against the enemy." ”
Yanguan's big tongue could see that he was a little unconscious now, and he wanted to refute the prince: "But, but ......"
It's just that before he could say anything, he was stopped by the emperor who was sitting on top with an inexplicable look: "Okay, Lord Yan is drunk, come on, pull Lord Yan down." Then two palace people immediately came and pulled the official down.
Once again, there was a deathly silence in the hall.
At this time, Xiao Hao spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, the weapons that Weichen handed over to the soldiers this time were all developed by Weichen's wife, Xiaohua Lady, if it is a meritorious work, she should be the greatest meritorious hero in the northwest line." ”
Everyone was stunned, and they all turned their eyes to Hang Yidong Even the emperor was speechless, he really didn't expect that Hang Yidong would not only study crops, but also build weapons, Hang Yidong faced so many sights, just calmly eating.
Xiao Hao continued: "There is also the recipe for this weapon, which has been handed over with the fold today, presumably the emperor will be able to see it tomorrow, and Weichen also hopes that my Dayong Dynasty can become stronger and not be bullied at will, and Weichen is willing to contribute his meager strength to the Dayong Dynasty." ”
When the emperor heard Xiao Hao's words, he only felt moved in his heart, and then he was full of pride, he looked at Xiao Hao: "Okay, good!" ”
Then the emperor said to the general of Dingguo: "Ah He, you have to work hard, otherwise the boy will overtake you." ”
General Dingguo didn't expect the emperor to cue his own name, obviously at the previous banquet, he just had to eat and drink well.
The general of Dingguo arched his nose, pretended to be happy, and smiled at the emperor: "That Weichen has to exercise hard, but he can't be compared to these young people." As he spoke, he pretended to pat his chest innocently.
When the emperor saw the actions of the general of Dingguo, he was a little amused: "You old child, the older you get, the more skinny you become." ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, which was very tacit.
But in a place where others couldn't see, General Dingguo clenched his hands into fists, and his nails dug into the flesh fiercely.
The atmosphere in the hall became lively again, everyone ate and drank, and when they were happy, the official also poured wine to the officials and brothers who he had been unaccustomed to.
The palace is bustling with activity, and even outside the palace, you can feel the lights and wine.
A group of black-clothed people were outside the Dali Temple, sticking to the root of the wall, and at this time, a black-clothed man who followed behind said to the leader: "Boss, it's been an hour, when are we going to do it?" ”
The leader glanced at him, and said angrily: "Wait for the master's orders, don't be so crooked." ”
The man in black who asked the question shrank his neck, stopped talking, and quietly waited for the master's signal.
At this moment, an orange flare slowly rose into the air and spread out in the dark night sky.
The leader was the man in black who saw this scene and waved his hand to the people in black who followed him: "Up!" ”
The black-clothed people who were originally standing against the wall climbed over the wall one by one and entered the Dali Temple.
On a tall building not far away, a middle-aged man in armor who was originally sitting upright also saw the orange signal, and a smile condensed at the corner of his lips: "It seems that the prey has taken the bait." ”
The man in black entered the Dali Temple all the way unimpeded, and after knocking out a few officers and soldiers who were on duty, he successfully found the Cao prefect who had been imprisoned in the dungeon and had been knocked unconscious.
After receiving the Cao Governor's Mansion, they still wanted to find Aguna again, after all, the second prince said at the time that it was best to rescue the two of them together, and things were going so smoothly that the leader was going to probe inside, maybe they would be able to find Aguna.
At this time, a small soldier who was originally standing next to the leader said, "Boss, do you feel that this matter is going too smoothly?" ”
The leader frowned and said to him, "What do you mean?" ”
The black-clothed man's eyes showed confusion and puzzlement: "It's nothing, I just think things are going too well, something is not quite right." ”
Just when the man in black said this, a group of soldiers in armor entered the Dali Temple, and the man in black struggled, the scene became very chaotic for a while, the man in black handed over the unconscious Cao Zhifu to the leader, and slashed a soldier who wanted to pounce, warm blood splashed his face, the man in black turned to the leader and said: "Boss, take the people first, we will break off." ”
After saying that, the man in black rushed to the pile of soldiers and fought.
The leader opened his mouth to say something, but a black cloth covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of worried eyes.
After a few breaths, the leader immediately made a decision, and walked outside with the man in black on his back, but as soon as he came out of the dungeon, he saw a bearded and armored escort leader looking at him with burning eyes.
The leader's feet are weak, and it's over! They have fallen into someone else's trap.
The general of the escort army looked at the leader of the man in black and said in a deep voice: "Until now, you still don't raise your hands to surrender?" ”
There was the sound of weapons intersecting, weapons cutting through flesh, and the screams of people.
The leader looked at the Cao prefect who was still unconscious behind him, and then looked at the brothers behind him who had been interrogated, he gritted his teeth, and after putting down the Cao prefect, he knelt straight down in front of the general of the escort army: "I will surrender, I hope that my brothers can spare their lives." ”
Seeing this, the general of the escort army waved his hand, and the soldiers who were originally waving their weapons stopped.
Inside the Palace Banquet Hall.
A eunuch suddenly ran in in a hurry and said to the emperor: "Oh no, Your Majesty, someone went to Dali Temple to rob prisoners!" ”
The emperor stood up abruptly with an incredulous expression on his face: "What did you say!!" ”
