"Auspicious Birth, Auspicious Birth!"

"The gods of heaven bless me Da Zhou!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Looking at the chaotic scene of the group of demons dancing in front of the main gate of the palace, and then looking at the several hot air balloons floating on the city gate, Sun Shaozong was speechless and admired in his heart.

This hot air balloon was originally obviously a tool used by political enemies to escape, but it was turned into an auspicious man who sang praises for his merits by Emperor Guangde!

Even without a teacher, he invented the method of pulling banners with hot air balloons.

Looking at the past from a distance, the red silk and gold characters are waving in the wind, as if a supermarket chain has opened to reward guests.

Not to mention, in terms of liveliness, it's really comparable!

However, this scene of universal celebration is not a good thing for Zhao Liben and his subordinates.

If you take a casual look, you can see the busy figure of everyone in the salt and iron division.

As for Sun Shaozong, his only task now is to guard hundreds of sedan chairs, so that after the birthday banquet, he will escort the old men home.

Those ordinary old men naturally don't need him to escort them personally, but there are a few important ministers in the court, and if these people also arrange for officials or scribes to escort them, it will be too contemptuous.

Without further ado.

But he said that as the night deepened, it was almost time to end the joy.

Sun Shaozong got up and greeted: "I have carefully memorized the name and surname of the old man who is going to be picked up!" Later, they will be inspected three times by the week, if no one has responded, don't blame the official for not being emotional! ”

All the officials and sedan chair drivers were busy and agreed.

In order to pick up more than 200 old men who congratulated the birthday, the sedan chair drivers have also practiced six or seven times, not to mention that every ten sedan chairs are assigned two officials to take care of them.

Sun Shaozong glanced again, Zhao Wuxing and a few head catchers, and hurriedly ran back and forth to greet them, asking the sedan chair drivers to solve the physiological problems first, so as not to delay the business when they got it.

And Sun Shaozong himself went to find Zhao Liben in person, so that he could clear a large enough space on the west side of the main gate of the palace.

When everything was ready, Zhou Da shouted 'get up the sedan chair' at the top of his voice, and more than 200 sedan chairs were all on their shoulders, trembling and swinging, and went straight to the noon gate.

When they arrived at the gate at noon, a group of sedan chair men roughly put out a fan under the command of the officials.

About a quarter of an hour later, I saw that in the brightly lit city gate tower, many bright heads and gray hairs poured out.

Zhao Wuxing hurriedly waved the colored flags on his shoulders, and hundreds of palanquin bearers and officials shouted in unison: "Shuntianfu is ordered to welcome the old birthday stars back to their homes." ”

This greeting this group of old men was originally a laborious and thankless errand, so Sun Shaozong specially rehearsed this play, which can be regarded as a sense of existence under the roots of the imperial city.

When the old men heard this roar, they all adjusted their direction slightly and walked towards this direction.

When I walked up, I saw that many people were staggering, and at first Sun Shaozong thought he was drunk, but when he got closer, he found that it was not the case.

After all, the old men are already seventy or eighty, and they say that they should be old and strong, but it is reasonable that they will be in poor spirits after staying up for several hours at this birthday banquet.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly led more than a dozen scribes to come forward to answer, and helped the one who really couldn't hold up to the sedan chair first.

Zhou Da asked the name and surname one by one, and the scribes next to him immediately reported in unison, and every time a person's name was reported, a special sedan chair driver stepped forward to answer.

As for the elders of the court, they had already said hello, and as soon as they left the palace gate, they ran straight to the green sedan chair carried by four people, which not only should be arranged far beyond others, but even specially prepared some hawthorn fruits and the like to help digest small snacks.

"You two are good students!"

However, he said that Sun Shaozong saw that the people here had already arrived, and he explained to Zhou Da and Zhao Wuxing, so he also turned over and got on the horse, and said loudly: "Xiaguan Shun Tianfu sentenced Sun Shaozong and escorted several adults back to the house. ”

The selected sedan chair drivers immediately carried the sedan chair and followed behind Sun Shaozong steadily.

Nothing to say all the way.

By the time the six old men were sent according to their ranks, it was already the middle of the moon.

Sun Shaozong took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and had the heart to go back to the house to rest, but after all, he was still relieved that Zhou Da and Zhao Wuxing were there, so he let the sedan chairmen and servants disperse and rode to the noon gate alone.

Who knew how far he had run, and he saw a team coming in front of him, with more than 20 bright armor at the head of the row, who seemed to be soldiers of the Tiger Battalion, and a large group of people wearing ink Jiao swallowing clouds behind, but they were dozens of dragon guards.

And in the center of the dozens of dragon guards is a bright yellow sedan chair!

In the middle of the night, the Tiger Camp and the Dragon Praetorian Guard teamed up to put on such a big battle......

Sun Shaozong didn't think about it, so he was ready to turn his horse's head and retreat.

Who knew that as soon as he slapped the horse's buttocks, he saw that there was also a team behind him catching up, and looking at the costume, it was vaguely the people and horses of Shuntianfu escorting the old man.

Zhente Niang's bad luck has arrived home!

Sun Shaozong scolded secretly in his heart, but he immediately straightened the horse's head again, and while galloping towards the miscellaneous army, he raised his voice and shouted: "There is an ambush ahead, retreat quickly!" ”

The more than 40 officials who were in charge of guiding the way had all met with Sun Shaozong, but the two people holding the lanterns of Shuntianfu on the opposite side were all fresh faces!

In addition, when Sun Shaozong turned into the intersection, he obviously didn't see any team.

Therefore, those people either sprinted directly at the speed of a 100-meter race; Either that, or they had been ambushed in the darkness for a long time, until the motley army on the opposite side appeared, and the lantern was temporarily lit.

And the addition of these two items in one place is enough for Sun Shaozong to make a correct judgment!

Hearing Sun Shaozong's loud warning, the team on the opposite side suddenly became in a commotion, and then several people dressed as dragon guards came out of the crowd and shouted: "You are ......"

Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Before I could hear what the idiots were asking, I heard a ruffle of bowstrings on both sides!

There is also an ambush on the roof!

Sun Shaozong was so frightened that he hurriedly hid in stirrups and shrank under the horse's belly!

Duh~

At the same time, I heard a muffled sound on the horse's back, but it was a sharp arrow that was nailed to the saddle!

It's dangerous!

Fortunately, I dodged in time, otherwise......

Sun Shaozong was rejoicing, but suddenly felt something sticky, greasy, and hot flowing down his fingers to his wrist.

Blood?!

Sun Shaozong was shocked again, you must know that his saddle is not a bargain, and it is difficult to pierce it with a sword when he is idle.

To be able to shoot an arrow through this saddle is nothing more than two possibilities.

One is that the bow is extremely strong, and the arm strength of the archer is also extremely strong; These two are armor-piercing cones that are only equipped in the army!

But no matter what kind of thing it is, it doesn't seem to be good news for Sun Shaozong!
