Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The first day of November. Autumn goes to winter, and on days when the north wind is howling, this ray of sunshine this morning is particularly precious.

"Drive!"

Outside the northern city, a group of seven or eight sentinels galloped by, with black gas military flags on their shoulders. After a while, another group of sentry riders flashed by.

One group after another, ran along the main road in and out of the city, and you must know that there were many people passing on this road, but judging by the speed of these cavalry, they did not seem to take this to heart.

Fifty miles south of the Yellow River, a group of more than 30 people slowly walked towards the city, more than ten guards in front, a carriage in the middle, followed by five or six donkey carts full of goods, it seemed that they had just crossed the Yellow River, walked for about a while, and suddenly saw an extra fence in the middle of the road, and there were more than 30 forbidden soldiers standing on both sides of the fence.

"Phew!"

They immediately stopped, and saw a handsome boy riding forward and asking, "What's going on?" ”

There was a commanding tone in the tone.

One of the soldiers on the other side stepped forward and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there is a military exercise going on here, if you want to enter the city, please take a detour to the northeast of the road ten miles away." ”

The man seemed stunned when he heard this, and said, "Military exercises? What kind of military exercises, even the road has been blocked. ”

The soldier said, "This is a military secret, I can't tell you, and I ask your Excellency to leave quickly." ”

"What? How dare you say such a thing to me, do you know who this son is? The man shouted angrily.

The soldier said, "We are also acting on orders, and I ask your forgiveness." ”

"I'm going here now, and I'll see what you can do with me."

Whew!

Those soldiers simply lit their weapons, and the soldier said, "Please take a detour." "This time it's a bit of a warning.

"You."

The boy didn't seem to expect these soldiers to be so fierce that they dared to show their weapons, and he was still stunned.

At this moment, a voice came from inside the car. He said, "What is the matter?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the curtain of the car open from the inside, and an old man with a black and white beard frowned and looked ahead.

The boy glared at the soldiers, and then immediately went to the carriage and whispered a few words to the old man.

The old man said loudly: "May I ask you, who arranged this military exercise?" The tone was quite majestic.

The soldier bowed his head and said, "It was planned by the commander of the guards." ”

"Is that him?"

The old man frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said to the young man, "Let's take a detour." ”

The boy looked surprised and said, "Daddy." ”

He had just spoken. The curtain was lowered, and he was bored, and he was very annoyed, so he waved his hand and made a detour to the northeast.

In fact, at the beginning of the fourth watch last night, the military exercise codenamed "Defending the Beijing Division" planned by Li Qi kicked off, which is probably the largest military exercise in history. Since the name of this military exercise is to guard the Beijing Division, it naturally cannot go to other places for the exercise, and it must be near the Beijing Division. What kind of place is Jingshi, it is the most populous honesty in the Great Song Dynasty, and it will definitely bring inconvenience to the people, which is also unavoidable.

So. Since last night, the forbidden army has begun a large-scale road closure, leaving only two small roads in the northeast and southwest for the people to enter and exit the city. In addition, this military exercise is also aimed at the defense of the outer city. Therefore, the impact on the city is not great, and it will not affect the daily life of the people inside and outside the capital.

On a small hill to the north of this level. There were more than ten people standing, and the first two were Gao Yu and Li Qi.

Gao Yu looked at the group of pedestrians who were driven away, and laughed: "Richie, you and the British Duke are really enemies in the previous life. ”

Li Qi was curious: "Why did the captain say that?" ”

Gao Yu said: "Do you know who that person is? ”

Li Qi shook his head and said, "Don't hide it from the captain, I didn't even see that person's face clearly." ”

Gao Yu said with a smile: "That person is the Privy Council's Privy Council, Hong Gui." ”

"Is that him?"

Li Qi smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence." ”

Gao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, a few days ago, I heard that he went to visit relatives in the Daimyo's mansion, who expected him to choose to return to Beijing today, he probably didn't expect to return to Beijing this time, you gave him a closed door, although this will not be angry, but with your grievances with the British duke, I am afraid he will not feel good in his heart." ”

Li Qi touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's more than that." ”

Gao Yu was curious: "What else?" ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Tai Lieutenant, you also know that defending the Beijing Division, this is a very heavy and cumbersome task, and the usual inspection work is also among them, so I also set up checkpoints on the two roads that can only enter the city, the purpose is to train the soldiers' ability to check, for this reason, I also borrowed a few criminals from Kaifeng Mansion to make this exercise more realistic." ”

Gao Yu frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Li Qi said: "If Master Hong Zhi wants to enter the city, I'm afraid he will have to wait until the afternoon." ”

Gao Yu looked up at the sky, and said in his heart, it's still morning! The face showed embarrassment, although these three officials and the privy envoy are in charge of each other, but many things have to help each other, you embarrass him, maybe one day he will embarrass you even more, and Brother Yu, who doesn't want to cause trouble, said: "Or, you send someone to inform him." ”

Brother Yu, you are too wise to protect yourself. Li Qi was embarrassed: "Captain, once this exercise starts, my duty is only to stop, and I will not interfere with the rest." Besides, when their Privy Council transferred Pharmacist Guo back to Yanjing, didn't they discuss it with us, this training was the responsibility of our Sanya, and they had no right to interfere. ”

Gao Yu remembered that the British Duke had also intervened in their affairs three times or four times, which made him lose face, and a trace of resentment in his heart also came out, and he nodded and said, "Yes, then so be it." By the way, you are the commander of the guards, why didn't you participate? ”

Sweat! I can't even tell the difference between guns and spears, how to participate, I have to be embarrassed and die, what the shemale said is really good, the privy envoy is the most suitable for me. Li Qi said: "Isn't this going to help the captain take care of the overall situation!" Besides, if I am on one side, it will always be unfair to the other, unless I am against the captain. That's pretty comparable. ”

This kid is so cunning that he even pulled me in. Gao Yu wanted to tease him, but he put his own into it, obviously, this is a trap, you must know that he and Li Qi are really equal, and they can't fight, if you say it honestly, then it's not even ironic for yourself, but if you say it with a clear conscience. It's not just to praise Rich. laughed a few times, didn't answer the words, and changed the topic: "Did you say that the Seed Master Dao will attack today?" ”

Li Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there is not much hope." ”

Gao Yu said: "Why is this? ”

Li Qi said: "First of all, the seed man wants to win, because if he loses, he will be very faceless, so, in this case." He will definitely act cautiously, and secondly, he has a wealth of experience that Yue Fei and others do not have, which is his advantage. I think he will give full play to this advantage and will not rush to attack, and in the end, Yue Fei and they are all fledglings. They were all holding back their strength, and attacking at this time was obviously in the hands of the enemy. ”

Gao Yu nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. And he looked into the distance. After looking at it for a while, he saw that it was dusty, but both sides seemed to be arranging troops, and he couldn't understand this arrangement, so he was bored, so he said, "Go back." ”

"Yes."

The group walked towards the city again.

Gao Yu suddenly said: "If we enter the city, won't we have to wait for a long time?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "Of course you don't need to, if you don't even have this preferential treatment, it will be a dereliction of duty." ”

Gao Yu laughed and pointed at Li Qi, as if to say, you kid really understands the taste.

Li Qi grinned again: "Captain, let's quietly go to the side later." ”

Gao Yu was curious: "Why is this?" ”

Li Qi said: "Now that Hong Xuezhi is probably still waiting there, if he lets him watch us, he will definitely come up and take a ride, we can't cheap him." ”

The corners of Gao Yu's mouth twitched a few times, coughed lightly, and said, "You can watch it, this exercise was planned by you, and I will just go with you anyway." ”

High! is worthy of being a brother, speaking of which, it is really leaky. Li Qi couldn't help but give Gao Yu a thumbs up in his heart.

Gao Yu changed the topic and said: "Oh, the envoys of various countries who came to participate in my New Year's Day meeting are about to arrive in Beijing, and you may have to lift the ban at that time, otherwise, if there is any chaos, it will damage the reputation of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Li Qi smiled and said: "Lieutenant can rest assured, I have informed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I have decided to arrange a waterway for foreign envoys to enter the city." ”

"Then I'm relieved." Gao Yu nodded, and said with a smile: "One more thing, how did you arrange the banquet at the New Year's Day court?" I heard the emperor say that there is no movement in the imperial dining room, haven't you started to prepare? ”

Li Qi said mysteriously: "I am already preparing in secret, and I will definitely not disappoint the emperor and those foreign envoys at that time." ”

Gao Yu glanced at him, knowing that if he continued to ask, nothing would come of it.

But at this moment, a group of people suddenly walked on the road not far away, and the pace was very fast, and there was a wounded man lying on the donkey cart in the middle.

After the two quietly returned to the city, Li Qi said goodbye to Gao Yu, went to the glass workshop, and instructed Zheng Quan and others to make ten clairvoyants at the same time as research and development, in case of next year's needs.

After lunch in the workshop, Li Qi was about to go to the Ordnance Prison again, but when he passed by a pharmacy, he suddenly heard a groan from inside, "Oops, it hurts me." ”

Hey? This voice is so familiar! Li Qi turned his head to look, only to see a person walking out of the pharmacy, covering half of his face with one hand and his stomach with the other, limping. said: "Isn't this Lu Qian?" Hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Qian." ”

Lu Qian turned his head and glanced at it, not only did he not stop, but he walked faster.

There is a case! Li Qi shouted: "Lu Qian, if you take one more step, I will break your legs." ”

Phew!

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qian immediately braked sharply and stopped.
