"I am Li Zhen, the deputy envoy of the imperial court to inspect Henan Province, and I have come to Xuzhou to meet Cui Envoy Jun and quickly open the city gate!" Li Zhen raised his head and said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After hearing this, the old man and the caravan were all shocked, they never dreamed that it was the deputy envoy of Henan who was sitting on their ox cart along the way, let alone that this deputy envoy was so young.

When the soldiers of the city guard heard this, they were slightly stunned at first, and then they smiled at Li Zhen and said: "The envoy has an order, no one is allowed to enter, and I hope that Deputy Envoy Li will not embarrass the little ones!" ”

Seeing this, the five veterans were about to rush forward, but they only heard Li Zhen shouting in a deep voice: "Come back!" The crossbowmen at the head of the city are already aiming at you, and if you step forward, you will be shot into a sieve! ”

Before the five veterans could speak, they saw Li Zhen stepping forward, facing the crossbowmen at the head of the city without fear.

"Don't ...... the king" A veteran was immediately frightened and turned pale and was about to follow, but he saw Li Zhen and said without looking back: "You stand in place, they don't dare to hurt me!" ”

It is said that in the late Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns supported their own troops, and they disobeyed the orders of the imperial court, and it was not until today's scene that Li Zhen really understood the difficulties.

If this happened in the early Tang Dynasty, or even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be a crusade army in less than a day.

At this moment, although Li Zhen is the deputy envoy of the inspection, he does not have the prestige that the court officials should have, but is blocked outside the city by such a few small soldiers, and this deputy envoy is really a little aggrieved.

However, Li Zhen knew in his heart that the only thing he could rely on at this time was the loyal army in front of him.

"Vice Envoy Li! Stop there, or the crossbowmen at the head of the city will turn against you! The county soldier pointed to the city and smiled at Li Zhen, but the smile on his face seemed so distorted to Li Zhen.

After Li Zhen heard this, he smiled indifferently, and still walked forward slowly, and finally the county soldier looked a little embarrassed, raised the horizontal knife in his hand and said angrily to Li Zhen: "Deputy Envoy Li, you remember that this is Xuzhou, not the capital!" Don't go any further! ”

Not far behind him, the hands of the five veterans holding the horizontal knives creaked, and the five pairs of murderous eyes stared at Li Zhen tightly, once the other party dared to make a move, they were ready to step forward desperately at any time.

And the old man and the surrounding merchants couldn't help but sweat secretly for Li Zhen, the self-respect of the feudal town had long been the norm, so everyone present was not the slightest surprise, more just a trace of the mood of watching the excitement.

Only the old man looked at Li Zhen, who was already drenched in cold sweat, his palms were folded in front of the tip of his nose, and he kept muttering something in his mouth.

In the end, Li Zhen walked in front of the county soldier and stopped, smiled at the county soldier, and said, "You just said that this is Xuzhou and not the capital?" Then the envoy asked you, what kind of place is this Xuzhou? ”

Although Li Zhen is only sixteen years old and his figure is slightly thin, he is no different from an adult in terms of height, and even taller than the county soldier.

"Don't know? That envoy told you that it was the Tang Dynasty! Li Zhen suddenly shouted, especially the word "Datang" was said sonorously, and the surrounding county soldiers were immediately frightened when they heard it.

"Based on your words alone, this envoy can determine that your Cui envoy has the intention of rebellion, and as long as the Shence army arrives in person, you can make your loyal army disappear cleanly! At that time, do you think Cui Yuanjun will use you people to ask the court for guilt? Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and glared angrily, and the murderous intent loomed, so that the surrounding county soldiers did not dare to look at him.

"Little ...... The little ...... soldier was suddenly frightened, and he didn't know what to do.

"This envoy wants to meet Cui Envoy Jun, if you don't open the city gate, this envoy will leave, but tomorrow it will not be this envoy who will stand under the city of Xuzhou, but an army of 100,000 gods! So now the fate of Cui Envoy Jun and the Zhongwu Army is in your hands! Li Zhen's tone softened slightly, and the smile on his face returned to his previous face.

The county soldier looked around and hesitated, seeing that his companions around him were all in a state of disgrace, and he had no idea in his heart.

Seeing this, Li Zhen smiled again: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll leave!" ”

After saying that, Li Zhen turned around and left.

......

Xuzhou City, Zhongwu Festival Yamen.

A burly middle-aged man sat firmly at the top, and on either side of the bottom stood several loyal army generals.

And this man is Cui Yan, the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival.

"Envoy, I heard that the Xuanwu Army has been released except for a small number of defenders left in Bianzhou! I don't know what Sun Jian is going to do, is it possible to really want to rebel! A military general said.

Cui Yansheng had a square face and fine eyes, a flat nose and high cheeks, which made the whole person look a little gloomy, after hearing this, he saw him smile slightly, and his eyes instantly narrowed into a slit, "This free court is to worry about it, what we have to do is to close the city gate and wait and see what happens, I can't say that we can finally collect some fisherman's profits!" ”

"But in case the imperial court blames it a day later, we can't deal with it, after all, the patrol envoy is still in Henan, if we question it in this way......" Another military general couldn't help but say worriedly.

"What are you afraid of, we haven't left the jurisdiction, and we haven't seen the military talisman of the imperial court, even if the patrol envoy really brings the talisman to ask for help, we only need to drag it out, and then ......" Cui Yan's face appeared with a meaningful smile.

"Envoy Qiqi, the deputy envoy of the imperial court is here!"

At this time, I only listened to the report of the guards outside the door.

After hearing this, Cui Yan's face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous! Who let him in without the envoy's permission?! ”

"Hehe, it seems that the envoy is very unwelcome!"

Cui Yan's voice fell, and he saw Li Zhen appear outside the hall, looking at Cui Yan with a smile.

After seeing this, Cui Yan's face turned into a smile in an instant, got up and walked out of the hall in a few steps, and said to Li Zhen: "Hahaha, I think this is Ze Yuanxian's nephew, who has been famous in the capital recently!" I knew that he was the first genius of our Tang Dynasty, and Cui Mou was determined to go out of the city to greet him, so he also looked at Ze Yuanxian's nephew Haihan one or two, don't blame Cui for being rude! ”

Saying that, Cui Yan made a gesture of invitation and led Li Zhen into the hall, and the five veterans were about to follow up, but they were stopped by the guards outside the hall.

"Tut, I really didn't expect Ze Yuanxian's nephew to be so powerful, and these vulgar martial artists like Cui are dwarfed!" Cui Yan praised again and again, although it was a smiling face, but it made Li Zhen feel a little disgusted.

All the generals also sat down in turn, and they all looked intently at the rumored Tang genius in front of them.

Li Zhen didn't speak, and let Cui Yan praise himself endlessly, and his face always had a look of smiling rather than smiling.

Maybe it was the lack of words, or maybe it was Li Zhen's expression that made Cui Yan feel a little uneasy, so he slowly put away the smile on his face, and said to Li Zhen: "I don't know what Ze Yuanxian's nephew is doing when he comes to my Xuzhou this time?" ”
