Chapter 153: The Divine Decree Has Arrived
The East is white......
The Beacon City, which had been silent all night, was filled with mist and looked a little lazy.
The sky of the fifth watch passed a little, and only a rush of footsteps was heard, and they galloped along the wet bluestone road covered with dew towards the dormitory behind the city.
"Brother...... Brother ......"
A young man in Xuanyi with a panicked expression was blowing under his feet, and his mouth was impressive, and the loud voice like a tweeter was forced to render a sound rhyme like a long rainbow in this silent mist, so that the small Beacon Smoke City was suddenly awakened by him.
In an instant, the young man stopped in front of the closed dark door of the mansion, suddenly wiped the sweat from his forehead, gasped for breath, put away the panicked look on his face, and then shouted while slapping the door knocker.
"Brother Yanyu! Brother Yanyu, open the door...... It's a person from outside the city, a messenger from outside the city, my brother opens the door quickly......"
"Brother, open the door...... Brother ......"
For a long time, but the louder the young man's voice, the more empty he felt around, and he opened his voice for a long time, and there was no one who answered, and he thought about some urgent matters in his heart, and the more he shouted, the more he felt anxious.
Because it was the fourth watch, a team of carriages and horses claiming to be envoys of the Tang Dynasty rushed to the outside of Fengyan City at night, but the other party's intention was simple, and it was presumably that they wanted to pass the holy decree to the city lord of Fengyan City, and asked the city lord to respond quickly.
But no matter what you mean, how not to be horrified when such words come out.
Jiang Han guarded the pass in the middle of the night, and he was responsible for his duties, so he didn't dare to slack off. I was talking to the person who came for a long time, and I didn't say anything, so I just delayed it.
When the sky was a little dark, I caught a glimpse of dozens of white horses dressed in royal clothes under the city, waving the blood-stained banner of the Tang Panlong, and it was a royal atmosphere in my eyes.
Because of the battle with the Zhou people just a few days ago, the four gates of Fengyan have already issued a ban, and the control is more strict. Looking at the aggressive royal demeanor of the faction under the city, and the welcome posture of his brother, he was overjoyed, and he was about to open the city gate with a refreshing opening, but a few generals on the left and right insisted on blocking it, obviously to take the team of Tang envoys as Zhou people to come to guard against it.
In this way, he couldn't enter, and he was afraid of missing a big event, so he had to support the generals to deal with it first, and he actually ran all the way to ask Yanyu with his arms.
In the past few days, how Yanyu has been doing well, in addition to dealing with military and political affairs during the day, most of the rest of the time has been personally guarding Jiexin's side and taking care of this Nizi.
Xiaoxi is responsible for the diet and daily life with Jiexin, Yanyu's main task is to constantly chat with her, so she simply took this opportunity to sort out the fairy tales that have some impressions in her mind, right or wrong, and shake out a basket of shakes out, whether Jiexin can listen to this girl is still unknown, but it just provokes a few personal maids in the hall to listen to the more they feel up, and they gather around Yanyu all day long, to bring the interesting story to solve their worries.
Xiaofei's rough temperament has never been able to use any good tricks to take care of Jiexin, and it is the task of suppressing bandits, so he has to often come to dedicate the hunted mountain delicacies. In this way, only Jiang Han has been non-stop for a few days, and he has never seen Jiexin's side, and he is connected with a team of skilled craftsmen invited from all over the world, who want to carefully investigate the inside and outside of this Fengyan City, staking the land, burning bricks and tiles, wearing a suit of armor, but it seems that he has the temperament of a natural contractor when he opens and closes, and it is the most important thing about city defense.
"Brother, open the door...... Brother, ...... quickly."
"Brother Yanyu...... Brother Yanyu ......"
"Presumptuous! Whoever dares to call the general by name, who is noisy here! And let not let grandpa sleep...... Sleep sleep hahaha, who should I be...... It turned out to be General Jiang Han! Humble duty forgives sins, humble duty has eyes and does not know Mount Tai...... Humble this and this ......"
"Don't talk nonsense...... Tell me where my brother is? Fast...... Take me to him......"
Jiang Han saw the unhurried and respectful attitude of his own soldiers, how could he seem to be in a hurry in his heart, and before he could ask more, he grabbed the soldiers again, and rushed towards the courtyard with push and drag.
"I don't know what is urgent about General Jiang Han, this ...... General Li shouldn't have gotten up yet, or ...... You wait first, I'll go and tell you first! ”
“...... It's too late, which room is he in? Tell me ......"
“...... Is there anything wrong with Jiang Han? ”
"Brother!" Jiang Han was waiting to get up, but he saw that a person in the side hall was stepping out, and he looked at it, it was Yan Yu who was true, so he took three steps and made two steps to come forward, and hurriedly said the situation in the morning.
"Tang envoys?" Yan Yu's sword eyebrows locked lightly when he heard this, and his heart seemed to tremble, "You mean...... Now outside the city is a team of Tang family horses? ”
"It's true! Jiang Han can't do anything else, but the observation of people is first-class, I don't think that posture is by no means an idle person, they also said that they want the city lord of this Fengyan City to go to answer the word, and they want to pass the holy decree to him...... Brother, you ......"
“...... cough cough cough ...... Beacon City Lord? But...... Since His Royal Highness Whispering handed over all the affairs of the Han family to me, it seems that in the eyes of the world, there is only such a suave ...... cough cough cough ...... I mean, except for the old man of Yuncang Mountain, not many people actually know about the existence of His Royal Highness! Then the Beacon Smoke City Lord he said must be me! But...... What does it mean for me to preach the Holy Decree? Could it be ...... The Emperor has taken a fancy to me? cough cough cough ...... Or maybe it's a princess who has a crush on me! But I haven't seen any princesses yet! How could it be! Am I a little too narcissistic! But if you guess this kind of thing on the surface, you must be trying to win me over, or simply say Zhao'an! But if you talk about Zhao'an, I want to think about this after Liangshanbo was Zhao'an by the Great Song Dynasty...... It doesn't seem to end well! Besides, I'm a good general manager here, and I've just had some eyebrows about the restoration of the Han Dynasty, if I am called by the Tang people again, wouldn't I be too sorry to whisper to Your Royal Highness! No way! No way! However, it is still true to say that a thousand and ten thousand pigs are afraid of being famous and strong...... Yes...... Wrong! I mean people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong! I thought that this Beacon City had only been taken down by me for a few days, and I couldn't imagine such great achievements...... cough cough cough ...... It has already reached the ears of Emperor Tang, in such an information-blocked ancient world, it is not possible to do it without an urgent increase of eight hundred miles! And if you want to pass on the holy decree, it must be an order given by Li Jing, the son of heaven, but then again, it is very strange, could a small beacon smoke city cause a sensation inside and outside the court, thus attracting Li Jing's attention? In this case, wouldn't I, Li Yanyu, have already caused a sensation in Jiangning Mansion...... cough cough cough ...... Could this be the so-called Fight to fame, but this fame also came a little too quickly! ”
"Brother! What are you thinking? ”
“...... Oh...... It's nothing! ”
Yan Yu was pondering, and there were a large number of people outside the city waiting to see him, how could Jiang Han on his side endure his temperament, and hurriedly interrupted Yan Yu's thoughts, not to speak, and urged, "What are you waiting for, brother!" Maybe the old man of the Tang family is going to summon you to the palace and entrust you with a heavy task......"
"Oh...... Emperor Tang's meaning was so easily guessed by you! Yan Yu's eyes flashed, but he couldn't see a trace of joy from top to bottom, but after coughing lightly a few times, he seemed to have a wisp of sadness on his face, "What...... I can't hold my breath......"
"Not really! But brother, do you still need to think about it? This is not clear that it is to be edicted...... Ah......h I guess it's a good thing anyway, so let's do it as soon as possible......"
"It's okay to say something else, but if it's really Zhao'an, I really can't show up......"
"Oh! Why! ”
Yan Yu turned around and said to Jiang Han: "Think about it, what kind of identity we are now!" ”
"Now...... It's ......" Jiang Han thought for a long time with Yan Yu's expression, and then said with a flickering expression: "Oh! I see what my brother means! You mean, we are now members of the Han family and courtiers of the Han family, so we will not be able to receive the holy decree of the Tang family......"
"Not bad!" Yan Yu glanced at the gradually brightening sky, and said, "However, what is the intention of the other party to send someone, I think we still have to figure it out." It's better to go and go for me, and say that the city lord is out and can't return to the city in a hurry, so you will receive this holy decree......"
"Me?" Jiang Han was shocked when he heard this, "This ...... It's not very good, and brother, you forgot, I'm also a courtier of the Han Dynasty, I'm the commander-in-chief of the Han Air Force and the first ...... of this and this."
"That's it! All right! Yan Yu suddenly smiled and waved a hand, interrupting Jiang Han's words, "Your current identity is just my representative, and you will go on my behalf...... Luckily! ”
"But...... Brother, I heard that all of these decrees are to be on your knees...... But once I knelt down to the envoy...... Doesn't that mean you'......"
“...... It's a trivial matter to kneel or not! If he is really a wise monarch, it is not impossible to kneel down to him. For the sake of today's plan, you will kneel down first, and when their intentions are completely clarified, I will compensate you again, isn't it......" Yan Yu said and glanced at Jiang Han, as if the matter had been decided, and there was no need to say anything more.
patted Jiang Han on the shoulder again, and sighed, "I think this matter is strange, and you must act when you see that Tang envoy...... Don't be reckless......"
"Yui!"
Outside the city.
The sturdy white horse is dressed in gilded dragon armor, and the two sides are lined up neatly, in the middle are two eunuchs dressed in black gauze official belts are pacing back and forth, the old man holding the document is slightly thin, although it is a tough posture with strong spirits, it looks no different from ordinary people, but it is the cold and ghostly attitude of the young eunuch who whispered a few times and smiled secretly, which also made Jiang Han, who was kneeling not far away, panic.
After a while, the old man stepped forward and took a few steps, glanced at Jiang Han from the corner of his eye, stabilized his expression, and said, "...... The family still has important things to do, so I can't wait for your master, you can listen to the announcement......"
"Ah...... I, my master's ......" Jiang Han's heart trembled when he heard the cold voice, and he was just about to open his mouth to say a few words, but the sergeants on both sides suddenly turned over and dismounted, kneeling on the ground like himself, and as soon as the voice came out, he also called himself that the words that came to his mouth were gone, but he only lowered his head slightly and listened carefully, "I...... Listen to the ...... Listen to the ......"
