Chapter 15 The King of Chu is good at shooting
The walls of Chang'an City are always so tall that from a distance they look like a barrier supporting the heavenly dome. It seemed that the clear blue sky was just a stone's throw above the city walls. In the summer of the sixth year of Zhenguan, a tired procession slowly marched along the official road to the front of this majestic city. Their clothes were ragged, and the armor on their bodies shone with a dark black glow, although everyone was dusty, and even the clothes on their bodies were tattered, but they still walked in a uniform manner, and the whole team was like one person, and every move was the same.
At the front of the team, the young player who led the team was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the fluff at the corners of his mouth showed a little childishness. But in this team there is an extraordinary prestige, I saw that this team came to the Mingde Gate of Chang'an City, the young general led by him just gently raised his right hand, everyone behind him all reined in the reins, and the war horses also stopped.
"Open the gates!" This team, which numbered thousands of people, stood outside the city gate, black and oppressive, but at this time it was shouting for the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate. This made the soldiers standing at the head of the city panic, is this going to attack the city?
"Without the general's warrant, how can you let you enter the city if your identity is unknown!" The captain guarding the city stood on the tower of the city gate and shouted loudly to the team below, it is not easy to defend the city wall in Chang'an City, because there are countless privileged classes in this city, and no one dares to offend them. Therefore, they had to do their duty: without the warrant of the general defending the city, no one would open the door when they came. Therefore, in this Chang'an City, almost everyone knows who the Imperial Forest Army defending the city is, and they will not give face, except for the current saints and the generals who defend the city. Whether it is a prince, a nobleman, or a common man, it is the same in the eyes of these soldiers. Such a position has been appreciated by hundreds of people in Chang'an City, but it has also made countless nobles feel itchy for this gang of murderers.
Most of the things in the world are like that. There is no perfection, and loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma since ancient times. That's why so many people shed tears in the sunset when they set out on the expedition, and there are so many people sighing in front of the green lantern and lonely candle.
The people love them, and the nobles will not hold a grudge because they didn't buy their accounts, because all people are the same, and people are animals that don't suffer from inequality, so no one will complain about the same treatment.
But this time it was not an ordinary person under the city wall, or this one really didn't care about the attitude of the Imperial Forest Army, and this kind of thing might be remembered by other nobles. But this one has never remembered this, and it is the first time he has walked through this Mingde Gate to enter Chang'an, and he used to go through Tonghua Gate, and the captain of the city guard over there has long known this master, and he has not encountered the situation that the soldiers guarding the city do not open the door. After all, the whole world belongs to their family, how can it be so difficult to enter a city gate?
So when he heard the news from the city wall, he was immediately furious: Isn't it just to open the door, to get the warrant of Duan Zhixuan's guy? Is his command greater than mine?
With this in mind, the boy took the strong bow that hung from the saddle to his hands. Then a long arrow was drawn from the quiver.
"General, no!" Behind the young man, there were three tall and tall men, all of whom were black and looked like Kunlun slaves being sold in the market, and they were opening their mouths to persuade at this time.
"How. What do you think this king is going to do? The young man turned to look at his three subordinates, but he didn't expect that after following him for so long, these three guys still didn't have a long heart. It's still such rammed goods. It's really something that doesn't help the wall. Didn't you just want to shoot your waist card to the city wall, these guys thought they were going to attack the city? And they don't have to think about it with their almost fossilized minds. Where would anyone else do anything after they had built up a great feat? Why don't you just take people to the disaster area? That would have a much greater success rate than doing this outside of Chang'an City. This team of people is the Wolf Warrior Cavalry and Xuanjiawei led by Li Kuan, as well as the elite of some of the Sixteen Guards. At this time, they had already completed the political task of flood fighting and disaster relief, so they returned triumphantly. But I didn't expect to come all the way. was blocked at the last step - the gate of Chang'an City, everyone has been working very hard these days, not to mention the Huaihe disaster area, the rapid march on the road is also unbearable, if it weren't for the fact that these soldiers are the elite selected by the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that less than half of them will be able to keep up all the way. originally
"General, although the comrade on the tower of the city gate spoke a little rushed, but the general, you don't remember the villain, plus this is the day when our team returns triumphantly, it's not good to see the red!" Another black-faced man also spoke out to dissuade him.
"What! This king is such a small-bellied person? You guys are so disappointing to this king! "Li Kuan didn't expect that Xue Wanche that guy would forget it, that is, a hob meat similar to Cheng Biting Jin, and nothing went through his head, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Wei actually followed suit, he was really a head but a tendon?
Thinking of the change in the attitude of these guys towards themselves along the way, Li Kuan couldn't help but sigh: people's hearts are not ancient, these guys treat themselves on the edge of Huaishui the same as they treat the Bodhisattvas in the temple, which can be described as respectful, but now, they all begin to doubt their IQ, is it because they are too good to them along the way?
Li Kuan remembered the ups and downs along the way, and the non-stop rush of people along the way really made these people's respect for themselves wear away. Because Li Kuan is really not used to the kind of look that everyone looks like they are facing those clay tires and wooden sculptures in the temple, so he will deliberately erase this impression, and he also linked the vision of that day with Li Er, so that these people's respect for God was extradited to Li Er, not that Li Kuan curry favor with Li Er, but that Li Er can control this empire more firmly in his hands, so at least when he wants to do something in the future, he doesn't have to be afraid that some people will drag him back, He knew that he would inevitably stand on the opposite side of Li Chengqian and Eldest Sun Wuji again this time.
After sending away this group of pig teammates, Li Kuan once again opened his longbow, bent his bow like a full moon, and his long arrow was like a meteor, with a whistling wind, he suddenly broke away from the bowstring and rushed towards the city gate.
On the tower of the city gate, Captain Yunhui, who was guarding the city, was quietly discussing the identity of the group of people below with the people around him, but he only heard a whistling sound, which was the sound of arrows cutting through the air, and he was no stranger to this voice after a long time on the battlefield. So he subconsciously made a dodge move. The body is a cat, and then it rolls outward and rolls under the female wall. Only then did he have the heart to raise his head and observe.
The sight of "mother's ......" shocked him into a cold sweat, because where he was standing, an arrow was nailed to the log beside him before, which was the supporting pillar of the city gatehouse, and was made of fine mahogany, which was as hard as iron and corrosion-resistant, and was a rare building material. But at this time, this arrow was three inches into the wood, more than three feet long, and now only the tail of the arrow less than three feet was trembling outside. If he didn't dodge this time, he would wipe his ears and shoot into the pillar next to him. You must know that he is standing on the top of the city wall about five zhang high, and those people are still gathering a hundred paces outside the city wall, such a distance and such a strength, this should be a strong arrow that can only be shot by a strong attack close to the five-stone bow. And the man who bends the bow is also a marksman, and it is definitely not a matter of walking through Yang in a hundred steps, in front of such an archer, distance is no longer a problem, because his attack distance is much farther than yours.
"There's something on the arrow!" The lieutenant looked intently, only to see an emerald green jade pendant dangling above the tail feathers of the arrow.
"This is? Dragon! Wang Ye ......, "This captain has been guarding the city gate for so many years, and he is too familiar with the identity waist cards of these nobles, whether it is the prince of the country or the prince and the prince of the county, the identity waist card is different, even if it is the same title between the civil ministers and military generals.
At this time, the identity waist card in his hand is a symbol of the identity of the prince, and the water dragon with teeth and claws is the best evidence. And according to the subtle differences, such as how many claws the dragon has and how many toes on each claw, these are the details that distinguish the status and dignity between the princes. And this piece, Jiaosheng has five claws, only the top of the head can turn into a real dragon, such a prince can be said to be under one person, above ten thousand people, because this represents the most favored by the emperor of the princes, such as 'Qin, Jin, Wei, Chu, Qi' These single word kings.
So who is this teenager? The captain thought about it in his heart, first of all, he excluded the prince, because His Royal Highness the prince will not wear armor, unless the prince of a country is on the battlefield, he will wear a uniform, and he will definitely not wear battle armor, then it should be the king of Chu, because the only one who meets the age is the four older princes of His Majesty, as soon as the prince goes, there are only three people left, the king of Chu, the king of Wu, and the king of Wei, the king of Wu is far away in the land of Wu Yue, and he cannot return to Beijing without the call of the saint, the king of Wei is in the deep palace, and it is rumored that he is in a huge body, The only one who meets the requirements is the King of Chu who entered the army.
"But His Royal Highness the King of Chu in person?" The lieutenant asked.
"It's the king! Why don't you open the city gates soon? Li Kuan replied. (To be continued......)
