Chapter 100: Prelude to the Military Parade
Prelude to the parade
At this time, Zhao Zilong was dressed in white, and his face was extremely kind, but he was no longer as handsome and upright, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and high spirits, nor as dazzling as a white horse or silver robbery; Some are just the grooves of time and silver white hair left on his face by the long river of time; Perhaps only in this way can it be enough to prove how many glorious years he has witnessed, and how many years he has passed、、、
"Uncle Yun" After a brief period of consternation, Zhuge Qiao finally called out.
"Come on! Come in with Uncle Yun and talk about the big things you have done in the past few years that Your Majesty will be proud of" Zhao Yun teased Zhuge Qiao and said.
"Uncle Yun, don't make fun of me! What I have done would not have been possible without His Majesty's support, and it was all His Majesty's credit," Zhuge Qiao pursed his lips and responded.
"Uncle Yun, there is one more thing I have to thank Uncle Yun; In the past, if Uncle Yun hadn't selected the elite of the army for me, I would have such combat power," Zhuge Qiao bowed and hugged his fist.
"This is the prime minister's order, dare not obey" Zhao Yun covered up with a word.
Seeing Zhao Yun's humility, Zhuge Qiao didn't plan to say anything, after all, where Zhao Yun's personality was, there was no need to think about anything.
More than an hour passed slowly, and after discussing the military parade with Zhao Yun, he prepared to run towards his home to see his parents who had been separated for many days.
It's just that he hasn't had time to get out of the camp gate, but he was stopped by Deng Ai; "Captain, something is wrong! The clans of the whole state jointly signed a list, asking His Majesty to give them an explanation for the attack on the Yizhou clan, and now they are waiting outside the palace for His Majesty to receive them," Deng Ai hurriedly recounted.
"What a coincidence! Let's meet them," Zhuge Qiao replied disapprehantly, as if none of this had exceeded his expectations.
In the city of Chengdu, almost a thousand people outside the emperor's palace are tightly surrounded here, even if the guards at the palace gate hold the cold and bright halberds, they don't seem to have the slightest fear; After all, there is an example in front of you, the purpose of 'quicksand' is to slaughter the clan, if you don't come to the emperor to protect it, who can predict the result.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" With the call of the waiter, the yellow canopy slowly appeared, and Liu Bei appeared in front of everyone in the emperor's exclusive imperial car.
When the family heard the shadow, they all seemed to be shocked by Liu Bei's guard of honor, and they knelt on the ground one after another to "meet His Majesty the Emperor"; At this moment, Zhuge Qiao and Deng Ai also came to the gate of the palace, watching the change in the situation, and they had no intention of intervening.
Liu Bei didn't seem to hear it, and didn't respond for a long time, but it seemed that it was done on purpose, but the waiter next to the car didn't hold back, "Your Majesty, the family is still kneeling" A small soldier gently preached to Liu Bei.
Following the waiter's meaning, Liu Bei said in a deep voice to the clan: "Flat"
"Your Majesty Xie" Shi Clan slowly stood up, but the look on his face seemed to be a little more solemn!
"What are you talking about?" Liu Bei said slowly, and there seemed to be a hint of imperceptible boredom in his words.
At this time, the clan lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Liu Bei, only a few leaders were not afraid of Liu Bei's expression: "Your Majesty, the reason why we came uninvited today is because of the 'quicksand' of Quannai, in less than two months, how many clans in my Yizhou have died at the hands of quicksand; We are all afraid that the quicksand will one day point the finger at us, so I hereby ask Your Majesty for your life, please be able to protect us from the quicksand; Please let Your Majesty capture the quicksand and punish it severely! Otherwise, I'll wait 、、、," a middle-aged man said forbiddenly.
"You don't have to hide it in front of me, be honest" Liu Bei saw that the man was prohibited, and said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth, "Otherwise, we will move our family out of Yizhou and find another place to live."
As soon as these words came out, all the clans seemed to clench their fists at this moment, waiting for the so-called judgment of fate; Because all this was beyond their expectations, according to the scene expected by the clan when they met before: His Majesty the Emperor saw that most of the clan of Yizhou were surrounding the palace, and he would inevitably be jealous, and treat each other politely, and then put forward the purpose of the trip, and coerced Liu Bei to agree; But at present, Liu Bei's posture does not seem to take them to heart at all.
"There is one thing that I have not yet had time to inform you; The quicksand has been captured by the Imperial Forest Army sent by me, and it is on the way to escort at this time, and it will arrive in Chengdu in the near future, please rest assured" Liu Bei was still not in a hurry, and responded slowly.
As soon as the words came out, all the faces were full of numb expressions, and their hearts trembled uncontrollably; They couldn't believe that the invincible quicksand would be captured by the Imperial Forest Army, with an incredulous look, but they didn't dare to question Liu Bei.
But things in the world are always so coincidental; There was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and he quickly approached this side, "Your Majesty, the last general will not fail in his mission, and he will eventually capture the quicksand through dozens of counties and counties, and present it today" Chen Zhi led the Royal Forest Army to Liu Bei's car and bowed.
"Haha. Have you ever heard? My former commander Chen has escorted the quicksand back! Bring them up" landed with Liu Bei's voice;
All of them also set their eyes in the direction of Chen's arrival, looking forward to the person they hoped for in their hearts. With everyone's expectant expressions, the four black-clothed men who were tied up with flowers were pushed in front of everyone's eyes, followed by two human heads.
"Your Majesty, according to the news, the quicksand was originally nine people, and then three people, and the last six people are all here at this time," Chen Zhi pointed to the four people, including the two heads, and said in a deep voice.
But it made all the clans here, their eyes widen, their faces full of horror, and a frightened overreaction made them unbelievable, after all, this time was too much of a coincidence;
"Now that the quicksand has been captured, what do you think should be done?" asked Liu Bei.
When he heard Liu Bei's remarks, the Shi clan, who had been silent behind, could no longer hold back the emotions in his heart at this time, and shouted in unison, "Kill!" kill
At this time, Zhuge Qiao, who was hiding in the crowd of the world, did not follow the shouts of everyone, but focused his eyes on the four black-clothed people who were considered to be quicksand; But he didn't read anything from their expressions, only stood there with an unmoved expression.
"Since you hate the quicksand so much, then I will behead these four people in the Chengdu vegetable market today, as you wish, and have announced to the world that the quicksand has been destroyed and Yizhou has been stabilized." Following the voices of the clans, Liu Bei stood up and signaled.
"The hero is the hero," Zhuge Qiao said silently in the crowd.
