Volume 8: Chapter 273 of "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains": The First Emperor of the Ages (II)

Compared with the capitals of other countries, Hongtai has a simple architectural format, lacks bright plants, and does not have ornate decorations, so it can only be described as shabby. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 If you insist on saying why Hongtai is so undeniable in the eyes of the people of the Han Dynasty, there is only one reason, it is the key point of the political center, and the living places of several important people are all here.

The patrol of the armor passed by almost every quarter of an hour, with 50 soldiers per team, and the Hongtai area was about two hectares, which meant that at least 5,000 permanent soldiers could cope with such a dense and frequent vigilance.

20,000 square meters seems to be a big one, but if 20,000 square meters need to be furnished with houses for meritorious rest, places for family members to use in their leisure time, and buildings for civil and military officials to hold meetings, 20,000 square meters seems to be a little small when it is tediously used. Of course, these 20,000 square meters do not count the garrison and the soldiers' training grounds.

There are not many people who come and go in Hongtai every day, and the identity of wanting to enter Hongtai is not the only restriction, in fact, it is more important to get the permission of the supreme ruler and have a written certificate.

From the laying of the foundation stone of Hongtai to the sitting, it has always been a super attractive place, if someone is allowed to live in it one day, then that person's life will inevitably change greatly, everything is just to explain: congratulations! You get the approval of the monarch and get into the heart of political power.

There is a saying that "rare things are expensive", and the same principle applies to a special situation. At present, there are not many people living in Hongtai, and they are civil and military officials and their families who have made special contributions. The commanders and deputy commanders of each legion, the officials of various key departments and their families.

The serenity of the platform was broken by the sound of horses' hooves, and the armor guards guarding the entrance and exit looked out from the tower-like observation room. He saw two men leading a group of cavalry in this direction at the intersection ahead, and he recognized who it was, but he still shouted: "Stop! ”

Lingzi stood in place with the reins in place, and the war horse under the seat may have been strangled uncomfortably and let out a 'Lu Lulu' neigh. She looked up at the observation room, waiting for the closed gate ahead to be pulled up by the guards using a winch.

'Oooo

The sound of neat footsteps came from the city wall of Hongtai, and the friction of armor pieces could be faintly heard, and the battlements revealed the figure of the armor. Suddenly, at least fifty crossbows were aimed at the crowd below.

The team leader on duty nodded to the sergeant just now, and motioned to go down and inspect according to the regulations.

Rigid rules can always make people angry, at least Lingzi doesn't like this kind of time-delaying routine. Sometimes she always thinks strangely, "Every time!" What if someone accidentally pulls the trigger and shoots a crossbow bolt to kill someone? Why did you have to check the printed iron plate in a big battle when you recognized it! ”

Maybe it's because of the complicated procedures, the people who live in Hongtai are unwilling to go in and out frequently?

――As everyone knows, it is precisely because of those seemingly rigid regulations that people feel that Hongtai is sacrosanct, and people feel both afraid and want to sharpen their heads and drill into it!

"Little San, are you okay? Hurry up! I have an urgent need to see my father. ”

The armor-clad armorer still had a dead face on his face, and he handed back the iron card that could prove his identity. It doesn't seem to have special preferential treatment because Lingzi is a princess. In a rigid voice: "Her Royal Highness the princess and the little prince of Wusun, please hand over your weapons." The Guardian Knights of the Divine Army and the Scimitar Samurai of the Western Regions stay! ”

The sound of the winch was clearly audible, and the gate gate blocking the door hole slowly rose, and when the gate was halfway out, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, causing the gate gate that was slowly rising to fall again at the speed of electric light, and let out a loud 'bang! ’。

The people present subconsciously turned their heads to look back......

A knight galloped at high speed, dressed in an all-black battle robe, without armor, and with three small red flags on his back. The center of the three-pole flag has a black word 'urgent' written on it.

The team standing on the city wall seemed to be a little surprised: "Hongling is in a hurry!?" ”

Really......

The galloping knight pulled out a gold medal after advancing some distance, despite the constant jolting of his body on horseback as he galloped at high speed. Desperately yelled: "Emergency military situation! ”

The arrival of Hongling's envoy did not cause chaos, the closed gate was still closed, the only difference was that the idle people, such as Lingzi, Cen Chenjun Xu Mi and those entourage guards hurriedly let go to the side.

The fast horse galloping at high speed slowed down at a distance of fifty paces in front of the city wall, and the knight on horseback very neatly took out a secret box from his bosom, and he drew a feather arrow from his backhand, and tied the small box to the feather arrow very experienced, and then shot it with a bow, and the feather arrow was nailed to a target on the face of the city, and the knight collected the bow and turned the horse's head away.

Cen Jun Su Mi looked at the still trembling feather arrow a little stupidly, waiting for the feather arrow to be pulled out by the armor on the city wall, and he asked, "What is this for?" ”

Lingzi was a little impatient: "What to do!" Hongling is anxious to make the arrow report the military situation! ”

Cen Junjun was stunned: "What if I don't shoot?" ”

The team leader replied for Lingzi: "Hongling's failure to hit the target is a dereliction of duty, and there is only one end for dereliction of duty - a decisive decision!" He pointed to the half-open gate: "Go over!" ”

Cen Qianjun shuddered unconsciously: "It's really terrible...... The law of martial arts! ”

The scimitar warrior of the Western Regions next to him was stunned and then showed an admiring gaze, and the guard knight of the Shence Army raised his head proudly when he saw it.

"Drink!"

"Drive!"

Lingzi and Cen Jun Su Mi entered the inner city just in time to see a horse galloping out of front of them, and the knight held up the secret box and shouted "urgent military situation", and after a while, there was no shadow.

"The soldiers under Uncle Lin's command are so good, how did they train them? If the warriors of the Western Regions could be as strong as them, the Huns would have nothing to fear. ”

"It's miserable, Daddy is busy with military affairs, and he will definitely not see us. What to do? ”

"Uh......? Let the teenager wait. ”

"That's it."

"Let's go and see what emergency military situation is going on."

"Hmm. But don't make a noise, or Daddy will beat you up. ”

"Got it!"

The two little guys flicked their horsewhips and said, "Ha! With a bang, the horses galloped up, aiming at a tower-shaped building in front of them, and did not stop until they approached the building.

"Dismount! Don't be seen by the armor. We went in through the side window. ”

Not far away, ......, a row of armor soldiers stared intently at the two sneaky figures, and sighed in their hearts: "It's really unfortunate to have such a princess......" They didn't stop it, still muttering in their hearts: "Let the captain clean up?" Anyway, the captain didn't take care of the little princess. ”

Obviously, these two little guys have done this a lot, and the words that Cen Junxu said to Liu Che before were obviously overheard.

Someone who thought he was a ghost had crept into the Secret Council, and they were clinging to the wall like rats who wanted to hide in the shadows, and the sound of the staff officers of the various departments was heard in their ears without stopping, and the sound of footsteps made them shrink back, and the two figures drew closer and closer, and finally stood in front of the shadows.

Dian Yan, who was called the captain of the school by the armor soldier, followed behind Lin Bin with a gray face, and he kept shouting in his heart: "Little ancestor, I have been miserable by you. ”

Lin Bin had a funny expression on his face, and he looked straight ahead with blazing eyes: "You two little ghosts haven't come out yet?" ”

Lingzi and Cen Junjun in the shadows glanced at each other silently, and walked out with an innocent wry smile.

"Daddy...... I'm sorry, I know wrong. ”

"Huh, hehe? Uncle Lin, how are you? ”

Lin Bin deliberately straightened his face, did not speak, did not express his position, he silently glanced at Lingzi and Cen Junjun, and turned around...... Grinning at the captain, he bared his fangs and turned to leave.

Lingzi looked at Norihiko cowardly: "Uncle Dian......"

Dian Yan kept smiling bitterly, he knew that he was miserable this time, and a punishment was absolutely inevitable, and he might have to eat a military stick if he was weak, but he still said gently: "The king knows your intentions, and the frost marquis has already gone over to receive the little guest from the Han Kingdom." ”

"Oh."

"Hehe, it's okay, you come here, I'll take you to eat some snacks above."

On the side of the corridor, Lin Bin showed a kind expression, he didn't know that these two little guys often sneaked into the secret council, he just doted on Lingzi too much, and he didn't want to pursue some irrelevant things. If it weren't for the Guardian Knight of the Divine Ce Army, who protected Lingzi, the little prince who reported to Wusun that he had said something that shouldn't have been said...... Maybe the two little guys can still hide, after all, that is also something that Lin Bin acquiesces in, he only thinks that Lingzi has little time to stay by his side, and hides in to look at himself secretly. However, he also realized that such a thing should not happen again in the future.

The two little guys were led to the stairs, and they vaguely heard reports at the corner, such as "King Lujiang was beaten by Li Xi all the way in Jiujiang", "Liu Anzhong was defeated in Lu'an", "Huainan lost its troops and retreated back to defend" and so on.

Lingzi walked down the stairs and looked down, and what she saw was her father smiling gently at herself......

"Your Majesty?"

"Huh? Oh! Continue to pay attention to the war in Huainan, and wait for Shuang to see the little Han guest come back, and then we will continue the discussion. ”
