In the evening, Liu Cun and 2,500 cavalry caught up with the infantry team that was about to enter the city, and Wang Qi, the lieutenant of the county capital, and Yan Shen, the lieutenant of the county, greeted him and saluted Liu Cun.

The arrival of Liu Cun and 7,500 soldiers made thousands of people in Kaiyang Wangcheng rejoice, and with the sound of a sharp copper whistle, the infantry cavalry resting on the spot quickly assembled, and the fiery red battle flags were raised high, and the whole army was heavily armored and disciplined, and three columns marched into the north gate with neat steps.

The people of Kaesong, who had been frightened for five days and nights, quickly poured into the streets, greeted Liu Cun's Qinwang army with bursts of cheers, and shouted "Liu Zhijun", "This is Liu Yuanjun's army", "Liu Zhijun is here, we are saved" chanting endlessly, and soon some people shouted "This is our Langya army", this title soon spread throughout the city, and there were cheers everywhere "Our Langya army is coming".

Liu Cun was sad immediately, he looked at the faces on both sides of the street with haggard faces but full of hope, and looked at the people who were helping the old and the young desperately shouting and even bowing down to him, Liu Cun not only did not feel a little proud, but felt that his heart was heavy.

Wang Qi, Yan Shen, Xu Sheng, Tai Shici, Fu Min and others who followed behind Liu Cun puffed up their chests and looked straight ahead, none of them showed a smile on their faces, none of them looked left and right, and none of them waved their hands, and the 5,000 infantry and more than 2,000 cavalry marching silently were like a cold iron stream, forming a strong contrast with the crowd of people cheering and crying with joy in the road on both sides.

On the high stairs in front of the palace, dozens of civil and military officials surrounded the monarch Liu Xi in anticipation, Liu Xi looked at the mighty army that slowly drove away, and shouted excitedly:

"The widow knows that Zijian will never live up to the widow, never live up to the widow! Look at the Qingqing, this is Zijian's army, when has the Zhongqing seen such a mighty and majestic army of benevolence and righteousness? ”

The new Minister Zhang Fan quietly stepped forward, supported Liu Xi, who was trembling with excitement, and whispered an apology in his ear: "Your Majesty, Weichen should not spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Weichen is ashamed at the moment!" Later, Weichen will make amends to Lord Zijian at the reception banquet. ”

"No, no! There is no need for this, Aiqing is also making possible inferences about the current crisis, what is the crime? What's more, Zijian is benevolent and open-minded, the widow knows him until now, and has never seen him disrespectful to anyone, even if some courtiers and local gate lords curse him for being from a humble background and smelling of copper, Zijian has never spoken ill of each other, let alone retaliated against anyone, but was conscientious and cautious in his words and deeds, so it can be seen that he is a benevolent man who sincerely serves the country and the people! Liu Xi was overjoyed and spoke very quickly.

Cang Ci on the other side of the monarch suddenly shouted: "Look, your lord, Zijian is running on a horse!" ”

The advance of the army slowly drove into the open space in front of the palace to line up, and the 2,500 cavalry were still two blocks away, Liu Cun and others had already crossed the forward team, and came to the place fifty steps before the high steps of the palace dismounted together, and strode towards the monarch on the high ranks.

Before Liu Cun walked down the steps, Liu Cun led his officers to kneel down and prostrate on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, Liu Cun's escort is late, please punish you!" ”

After entering the city, Liu Cun, who had been enduring the pain in his heart, almost shouted out in a choked voice, which shocked the tears of the monarch Liu Xi, and dozens of civil and military forces behind the monarch finally saw Liu Cun's loyalty and deep feelings for the monarch.

"Aiqing up, Aiqing up......"

Liu Xi, who was so moved that his face was full of tears, wanted to hug Liu Cun, who was wearing cold armor, but where did he move, Liu Cun kowtowed three times in a row, and when he got up, he was already in tears, causing the steps up and down to choke up.

After sighing between the monarchs and ministers for a long time, Liu Xi wiped away his tears, and showed an elegant and kind smile on his face: "Zijian, quickly introduce the general behind you to the widow." ”

Liu Cun held one of Liu Xi's hands, respectfully helped him down the steps, came to the front of the officers under his command who were still kneeling on one leg, and introduced Liu Xi one by one: "Wang Qi Wang Shoushan, the commander of the county, met him in Xiahe City last year. ”

Liu Xi kindly helped Wang Qi up: "Wang Aiqing, hard work!" ”

Wang Qi hurriedly thanked him, and after moving sideways to Liu Cun's side, the young Yan Shen hugged his fists and saluted: "Yan Shen, the right lieutenant under the command of the Governor of Chengyang County, greet you!" ”

"Aiqing is General Yan Shen Yan Zhongqian, who twice defeated the strong with the weak and broke the thieves?" Seeing the long-rumored general, Liu Xi hurriedly helped him up, and was a little incoherent with excitement.

Yan Shen hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Yan Shen is only the right lieutenant of the county army, and he can't afford to be a general." ”

Liu Xi reacted, smiled and said, "Deserved, deserved!" With the talent of Qing, it is a matter of time before the marquis is worshipped. ”

Seeing the monarch coming, the military candidates Qin Yi, Xu Sheng, Tai Shici, Fu Min, Lu Pei, Cheng Ji and others did not wait for Liu Cun's introduction, and reported their names and positions one by one.

Liu Xi and the civil and military officials saw the majestic young heroes, and immediately exclaimed and talked about it again and again, I don't know when there were so many young heroes under Liu Cun's command.

Cang Ci, who is proficient in Zhou Yi and good at physiognomy, was even more surprised, Liu Cun had already made him sigh from time to time that he was a dragon and tiger among people, and now there were so many rare young Chu Qiao, which made him dazzled for a while.

After a commotion, Liu Xi looked at the more than 7,000 officers and soldiers standing neatly and solemnly in front of him, nodded frequently, generously gave ten cows and 300 sheep to reward the soldiers, and then took Liu Cun's hand and climbed the steps.

Wang Qi and others, who had received Liu Cun's orders, sent them off and led the officers and soldiers to camp directly outside the West Gate, and the news once again caused earth-shattering cheers, and the people and merchants in the city gathered in groups to eat pot pulp, forming a long procession to rush to the West Gate to reward the Langya army that brought them stability and hope.

The atmosphere in the palace was joyful and harmonious, and the monarch and the ministers who were completely relieved vied to raise their glasses, as if the Yellow Turban Army had been defeated by Liu Cun.

Liu Cun sighed in his heart, always with a humble smile on his face, no matter who invited a cup, he responded politely, making everyone feel very comfortable.

When the wine was half-drunk, Liu Cun quietly moved to Cheng Bing's side on the side, and asked in a low voice after toasting a glass of wine: "There seem to be a lot of people around the monarch!" ”

Cheng Bing smiled bitterly: "If you don't come again, it is estimated that more people will disappear." ”

Liu Cun understood, shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "The idea of Confucian wisdom and self-preservation is harmful, it is estimated that today's Confucian celebrities like these four words the most." ”

Cheng Bing smiled: "Your mouth is too bad, but think about it!" Let's take our new minister of state as an example, when the court Taifu Yuan Kui wanted to marry a woman to him, he has been resentful after being rejected by him, this time our Langya old country minister, Yuan Taifu finally seized the opportunity to solemnly recommend Zhang Gongyi, who was hiding at home, to the saint to serve as the minister of Langya, and generously said that Zhang Gongyi is the son of the former great Sikong, rich in five cars, with both ability and political integrity, and is worried about the emperor who no one wants to be the minister of Langya immediately, Zhang Gongyi can't hide, so he came to take office, and in private he complained many times: It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order, I don't want to be the crumbling Langya Prime Minister if I kill him. ”

"When did my Langya Kingdom become crumbling? Isn't that good? Liu Cun was puzzled.

Cheng Bing said in a low voice: "The king doesn't want to be the king of Langya, he wants to do a study in Langya Academy, and at the end of last year, I don't know who gave him a bad idea, so the king summoned the foolish brother and Cangci and Xu Ci to inquire, saying that if the county and the surrounding five counties are handed over to the imperial court, and replaced with Xiahe City and Langyatai, I don't know if the saint and the imperial court agree?" ”

Liu Cun opened his mouth wide in shock, and couldn't help but look at Liu Xi, the monarch who was chatting and laughing with Minister Zhang Fan and Zhang Gongyi on the main throne, and really didn't know what to say.
