Chapter 32 Entering the Beijing Face Saint
The journey from Tianbei to the capital is not very far, and there are some large and small cities along the way. However, in order not to disturb the county, Mu Zijin has always led people to camp outside the city, and only entered the city on the morning of the second day, paid a courtesy visit to the officials of the city, and then continued to the capital.
Although he lived outside the city, Mu Zijin chose some mountains and old forests when planning the route, and took people out to hunt and forage after setting up camp every day, which can be regarded as letting his brothers show their skills.
After traveling for more than half a month, I looked at the map and found that it was less than forty miles away from the capital.
Villages also began to become more dense, and the development of these villages was unmatched by the villages of other cities compared to those in the north. Whether it is the number of people or the state of development, the development of the capital is obviously better.
"It's worthy of the capital of my Dachen, and even the development of the village is beyond his reach." Mu Zijin sighed as he walked.
"Then how to do the capital? It's just a few villages, and you won't know what the surprise is until you get to the capital. Zhu Du'an continued with a familiar expression, and there was a hint of pride in his tone.
Mu Zijin glanced slightly, glanced at people from the corner of his eye, and then turned his head again, "Yes, I always stay in Tianbei, and I haven't seen this scene." ”
Although the others didn't speak, they also meant it, so although these words were a little derogatory to Tianbei, everyone just didn't hear them.
"When is the time limit given by Your Majesty?"
Xia Qingchen answered, "Enter the city before noon today, and enter the palace immediately after entering the city." ”
Mu Zijin looked up at the sky, and saw that he happened to pass a village, "It's just past the hour, and when I rush to the capital, I'm afraid that before the time, all the soldiers will get off their horses and put on armor, ready to rush into Beijing!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and then stopped the horses and dismounted.
The armor is tied up behind the saddle, just take it off and shake it off and put it on.
Before a cup of tea, he had changed his armor and put up a banner. The red armor is distinct, like maple and fire, and the red military flag and wolf ornament can show the majesty.
"Let's go!"
With an order, he drove his horses to the capital.
"By the way, go to one more person, and report it first, so as not to say that we have not been ordered to enter the city."
"Yes!" As soon as this answer ended, a person immediately came out of the horse first, and when he passed by Mu Zijin, he bowed his hand slightly, and quickly disappeared from sight.
With the messenger's "ventilation message", the people who had been looking at the city gate since the beginning of the day surrounded the city gate, hoping to be the first to see the faces of the two young generals.
A quarter of an hour after the messenger arrived, the people who were waiting at the gate heard the sound of horses' hoofs.
The messenger had already driven his horse to the left of the city gate, waiting for Mu Zijin's arrival.
The sound of horses' hooves became clearer, and through the cleared gates, several bright red flags could be seen in the distance.
It's getting closer and closer, and I can clearly see the two figures in front of me, one red and one white, and the mighty army with red armor behind.
Even if they were riding horses, the team of more than 50 people was not chaotic at all, the leaders were Mu Zijin and Xia Qingchen, followed by Zhu Duan, Luo Heyu, and Shen Junlin.
The wolf rider is the best of the best, not to mention that after several years of training and tempering, it is no problem for them to be a thousand, and the pride and pride of the strong make their backs stand tall at all times.
And the first few people have either been on the battlefield or mixed up in the rivers and lakes, and their unique killing spirit makes this team extremely powerful and cannot be offended.
As the procession entered the city, the messenger bowed slightly on his horse, and when the procession passed, he immediately followed the vacant seat behind the procession, without the slightest obscenity.
The sun was hanging high, and although the soldiers raised their heads and chests, their faces were almost hidden in the shadows under the cover of the helmets, especially the two Mu Zijin and Xia Qingchen who had attracted much attention in front of them.
Those women who were sitting on a high place and wanted to see the dignity of the two of them were tickled by Hook, and they really wanted to see the faces of the two.
There are always people who can't help it, call out to the other person, and the two of them untie the sachet on their waists at the same time and throw it down.
But the sachet was out of place, and if he had only sat on the horse, the two sachets would have passed over their heads and landed on the ground.
Mu Zijin and Xia Qingchen glanced at each other, bowed their heads slightly, stepped on the horse, and almost at the same time performed light skills, caught the sachet in the air, and landed back on the saddle steadily.
This action, not to mention the extreme gorgeous, made everyone see the faces of the two clearly.
Both of them have delicate faces, but Mu Zijin's eyebrows and eyes are more gentle, although they are wearing armor, but now they can see a bit of elegance; And Xia Qingchen's sword eyebrows were starry, and there was no expression on his face, and he was a little cold.
If Mu Zijin is the kind of husband that half of the girls in the capital thought of when they were pregnant with spring, then Xia Qingchen was the lover that the other half of the girls thought of when they were pregnant with spring.
Xia Qingchen threw the sachet back to where the girl was, and Mu Zijin also threw it out.
Xia Qingchen's cold voice sounded, "Girl, be careful, don't lose it." ”
The cold voice and cold face triggered a round of cheers almost instantly.
Mu Zijin couldn't help but smile and glanced at Xia Qingchen.
Xia Qingchen shrugged his shoulders, saw that Mu Zijin was riding a horse and leaned towards him, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Qingchen, when did you speak so eloquently?" ”
Hearing this, Xia Qingchen originally wanted to habitually hammer Mu Zijin, but suddenly remembered that he was now in front of the public, so he held back in disdain, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”
Mu Zijin couldn't help but smile and endure hardship, and hurriedly turned his face away from him.
After a while, he arrived at the gate of the palace, Mu Zijin looked up at the big plaque of "Yingwu Gate" written on the palace gate, and as soon as he raised his hand, more than 50 people immediately turned over and dismounted in unison.
"Celestial wolf ride, stay where you are, wait for me to come out. I wish Du'an, Luo Heyu, and Shen Junlin, and the three of you will go in with me. Mu Zijin ordered without replying
"Yes!"
The father-in-law, who had been waiting at Yingwumen for a long time, saw that Mu Zijin had arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward, "General Mu Xiao, General Xia Xiao, you two have finally arrived, Your Majesty and the civil and military officials have been waiting for a long time." ”
Mu Zijin hurriedly smiled and said, "It's hard work." ”
The moment the two touched, Mu Zijin slipped out of his sleeve and handed it to his father-in-law.
The father-in-law touched the silver, checked it slightly, and smiled with satisfaction after estimating the weight, the smile on his face turned into a flower, "Whatever General Mu Xiao said, this is what our family should do, come with our family." ”
"I'm tired."
The father-in-law led the way in front, and the five of them followed behind, Xia Qingchen looked unhappy, "Ah Jin, haven't you always disdained to give bribes?" ”
Mu Zijin pulled someone's hand and whispered in someone's ear, "You are quiet, for fear that your father-in-law will not hear it?" I don't like to give bribes, but the capital is different from Tianbei, and it is easy to talk with silver. ”
Yingwu Gate enters and then passes through two gates is Yingjiangtai, and there are forbidden troops standing guard along the way.
In order to show solemnity and dignity, the Ouchi Forbidden Army is wearing golden armor and golden boots, equipped with gold masks, shining in the sun.
The father-in-law walked to the back of the second door and bowed, "Little general, please come in, I won't send it inside." ”
"Thank you."
In fact, there is no need for him to say it, before they walked to the door, the five of them had already seen the costumes of the civil and military officials inside the door and the high dragon chair.
"Let's go." Mu Zijin whispered, stretched out his hand and straightened the helmet on his head, and took the lead in stepping in.
Xia Qingchen walked behind Mu Zijin on the left, and the remaining three followed last.
Although there are only five people, they have momentum and do not lose a million soldiers.
The five of them almost opened up their aura, and with the armor of slaughter, it actually made the civil and military officials on both sides feel like they were on the battlefield.
Emperor Chen hadn't taken his eyes off them for a moment since he could see a few people.
Mu Zijin and Xia Qingchen, these two young generals who are now talked about by people have successfully transformed, and if they take one of them out, they can be excellent generals. The ancients on the battlefield could exercise the bloody nature of generals, but dealing with people was not something that could be taught on the battlefield.
With this distraction, the five of them have already come to the front of the stage.
Zhu Du'an and the three of them have no official positions, and as pro-soldiers, they can only wait at the bottom of the steps. Mu Zijin and Xia Qingchen stepped forward, their steps firm, without a pause.
At this moment, Emperor Chen's eyes swept over the three pro-soldiers below, and his gaze suddenly froze, but immediately returned to normal, and even Mu Zijin didn't notice it.
It was only when they stepped on the highest step that the two tacitly converged their killing spirit, lifted their robes and knelt down.
"See my emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Almost at the same time, the five of them knelt on the ground at the same time, bowing profusely, meticulously, and could not find the slightest mistake.
Emperor Chen got up and held Mu Zijin with both hands, "Aiqing, please get up quickly." ”
Mu Zijin stood up, still bowing slightly, to show respect, "Your Majesty." ”
Looking at Mu Zijin's appearance, Emperor Chen was overjoyed in his heart, a military general who can correct his position and not be proud of his achievements is simply a rare treasure.
"Aiqing has made meritorious contributions to the border a few years ago, and I have long wanted to meet you. It's a pity that the north of the sky was undecided at that time, and I really didn't dare to ask Aiqing to enter Beijing. ”
Mu Zijin's tone was calm, "What did Your Majesty say, even if the minister is in Tianbei, he is also His Majesty's courtier, if His Majesty needs a minister, how dare the minister not come?" I don't want to blame my father. ”
Emperor Chen stroked his palms and laughed, "Okay, good!" Sure enough, he is a young talent, and he speaks and acts in an orderly manner. ”
Emperor Chen turned his eyes to look at Xia Qingchen again, "Yes, Qingchen is also heroic and talented, and the two of you are my great heroes." ”
Mu Zijin glanced slightly, and the two saluted at the same time, "I don't dare to be ashamed." ”
"Okay, okay, there's no need to be humble." As he spoke, Emperor Chen patted Mu Zijin on the shoulder, turned around and sat back on the dragon chair, "Announce the decree." ”
"Yes." The eunuch next to the dragon chair stepped forward with the holy decree in his hand.
Seeing that it was an edict, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and they all knelt.
"Mu Zijin and Xia Qingchen are the mainstays of my Dachen, and I am very relieved. Mu Zijin was specially named as the general of Sanpin Yunlu and served as the commander of the capital guard; Feng Xia Qingchen was the general of Mingwei from the fourth grade, and served as the deputy commander of the capital guard. He took office on the same day and raised a division of tigers and wolves for my capital. ”
"Minister's decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
When the ceremony was finally over, several people withdrew from the Yingwu Gate.
Xia Qingchen shrugged his shoulders and moved, "Hey, it's worthy of Emperor Chen, that coercion makes me so uncomfortable." ”
Mu Zijin chuckled, "Otherwise, why do you think Your Majesty has been sitting in this position for more than twenty years?" "Not to mention Xia Qingchen, Mu Zijin's back is also wet, and it is really necessary to be extremely cautious to talk to the real ten thousand people in his country at close range, plus it is estimated that Emperor Chen deliberately wanted to grind the two of them, and let go of coercion, and after a while, it was a cold sweat that had never been felt before soaked his back.
"Forget it, it's over anyway, what should I do when I go back? I heard that the mansions of our two families were built together? Xia Qingchen stretched and relaxed.
"Seems to be." Mu Zijin also relaxed, his hands resting behind his head.
Zhu Du'an suddenly walked quickly to Mu Zijin's side, "Little general, I want to take leave, is it done?" ”
"Leave?"
"Well, I'm from the capital, and I haven't come back to Tianbei in the past few years, and it's not easy to come back, so I'll take a leave and meet my family."
"Okay, I'll go over and put my things away in a moment, and you'll go home and have a look. Give you half a month off, the family should think about what you think about and spend more time with them. ”
"Yes! Thank you, little general! Zhu Du'an immediately smiled.
"Let's hurry up, hurry up, tomorrow, it's the day of taking office."
Mu Zijin looked up at the clear blue sky. It's a new challenge.
