Chapter 44: Ye Gucheng arrives in Panlong City
Beaulieu City.
Tuoba Jing's hand was weakly released, and the letter paper fell to the ground.
When the generals saw this, their hearts sank for no reason. "Third Prince, what's going on?"
"Huiyang City... It's fallen!"
The general fell silent for a moment.
"500,000 troops! I can't even hold it for a day!" Tuoba Jing quickly took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Go to the court!"
"Yes!"
On the royal palace, the hundred officials were solemn, obviously, the matter of Huiyang City is known to everyone!
"Oh no! Great thing, big thing!" A civil official stumbled into the palace and cried on the ground: "The minister has just received an urgent report from the east and west, the two marquis have died in battle, a large part of the country has fallen, and the kingdom is about to die!"
Tuoba Jinghong's face changed drastically, and he roared violently: "Palace guard, drag it down, cut it!"
Only then did the civil official react, knowing that he had committed a big taboo, he panicked and begged for mercy again and again.
Soon, the screams outside the hall resounded throughout the palace, and the expressions of the officials were different, and they didn't dare to say a word.
"North Bohou. ”
"The minister is here!"
"How many soldiers are available in the army?"
"Returning to the king, not counting the recruits and strongmen, the northern soil plus the elites around the kingdom, more than one million, if you add these recruits and strongmen, it will be about three million. ”
"Recruits can't fight yet?"
"Can't!"
"Why?"
"The recruit is involuntarily enlisted, and he has not participated in any battles, he is not bloody, he is afraid of death, and if he plays, he is afraid that he will add to the chaos. ”
"Then tell them that if they retreat from the battle, this king will punish them nine tribes, and this king wants to see who dares to escape. ”
Bei Bohou sighed secretly and said solemnly: "Minister, obey the king's order!"
"How long will it take for the Huaxia reinforcements to arrive?"
"Return to my king, according to the itinerary, you can reach tomorrow!" said another Wenchen.
Tuoba Jing's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Ye Gucheng can go out with the army?"
"Returning to the third prince, according to what is said below, the leader of the army is the dragon, and it seems that he also carries a woman!"
Tuoba Jing was overjoyed and said urgently: "That woman, but Li Yue'er?"
"This... I don't know!"
Li Yue'er's deeds, Tuoba Jinghong had naturally heard about it, and suddenly the dragon's heart was overjoyed, and he said loudly: "The gods protect the Nansheng Kingdom, if the saint Li Yue'er of China really comes with the army, then the kingdom will be worry-free!"
"Yes, I've heard that this Li Yue'er is a goddess who descends to earth, and she is a miracle, she can move mountains and reclaim the sea. ”
"That is, I think that at the beginning, the kingdom had a bad relationship with Huaxia with a single thought, and General Tuoba Jue personally led tens of thousands of troops, but Li Yue'er was wiped out in ashes. ”
"Internal history, pay attention to the words, now that the two countries are on good terms, we will not talk about this matter again. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! What Lord Yushi taught was that the lower officials were guilty. ”
The courtroom laughed and discussed, and Tuoba Jinghong also swept away his sadness, and said loudly: "Wang'er, the reception of the commander of Huaxia must be done to the extreme." ”
"Father, don't worry!" Tuoba Jing saluted solemnly.
"My son is in charge, don't worry, this king!" Tuoba Jinghong smiled gently.
Following.
The city gate was wide open, the whole country was sandwiched to greet each other, and Tuoba Jing personally led hundreds of officials to meet the wind ten miles away.
In order not to cause a riot, Ye Gucheng did not enter the city with a dragon, and only brought Li Yue'er and thousands of elite horses into the city.
This is also the first time that Ye Gucheng has had close contact with the folk customs and national appearance of Nansheng Kingdom.
It is undeniable that the prosperity of Nansheng is far better than that of China, as far as the eye can see, the carved dragon and phoenix are magnificent, and even the floor tiles are the best small green bricks!
Of course, the most unique thing is the people watching from both sides, two completely different bizarre painting styles, both tattered shirts and trousers, a malnourished appearance, and fat heads and big ears and gorgeous clothes.
The most eye-catching person in the Huaxia team is not Ye Gucheng, but Li Yue'er on one side!
Li Yue'er's beauty can no longer be described in words! Tuoba Jing didn't dare to take a second look at it as soon as he touched it, let alone a group of ordinary people!
As long as it's a man, as long as you look at it, you can't take your eyes off it!
Li Yue'er may be accustomed to the attention of the public, but instead of being uncomfortable, she responded with a toothy smile.
Everyone suddenly felt that the flowers were in full bloom and the beauty was dazzling, and their obsessive eyes closely followed the shadow that was gradually riding away, and even the pace was unconsciously like a shadow.
A ragged boy may have been too obsessed, and accidentally bumped into a luxurious boy on the side, which immediately caused a burst of beating and scolding.
"Stop!" Li Yue'er saw that the young man fell to the ground and didn't dare to fight back, but the noble son still didn't let go of the kicking, and jumped off the horse angrily and stepped forward quickly.
Seeing the arrival of the goddess, the noble prince hurriedly tidied up his appearance, and said with a flattering face: "Fairy, these untouchables are born with cheap bones that are not beaten, this son is teaching him to be a man, and the province has defiled your fairy eyes." ”
"Nonsense, you're not a good person. Li Yue'er was angry and scolded angrily, seeing that the young man's head was bleeding and he couldn't get up, so he hurriedly bent down and helped him up.
Seeing this, the noble prince was about to continue to speak, but suddenly felt a tingling on his scalp, and couldn't help but look at the source of his sight, and his expression froze.
Tuoba Jing stared at the noble prince with a sinking face, and his eyes were extremely cold.
"Thank you!" the boy whispered, fleeing the scene quickly.
The episode quickly subsided, and the team moved on.
"Who was that person just now?" Tuoba Jing said casually.
"Song Dusi's youngest son, he is used to bullying men and women on weekdays, but he didn't expect that he would be so ignorant today, and the minister would only say Song Dusi when he turned around, and let him discipline him strictly. Wen Chen on the side replied cautiously.
Supervisor, the city defense battalion is biased, mainly to assist in the management of the city defense work.
"No need. Tuoba Jing's face was as usual, and he said indifferently: "Killed, as for Song Yuan, he will be dismissed." ”
"Yes!"
Although the voice of this conversation was small, Ye Gucheng could still hear it clearly, of course, he knew better in his heart that Tuoba Jing was deliberately courting him.
Ye Gucheng glanced at Li Yue'er, who was sullen on the side, and wondered, "Yue'er, what's wrong?"
"Brother-in-law, that person has been beaten, why don't you fight back? If Yue'er doesn't go up to stop it, won't it make people beat to death?"
Ye Gucheng was silent for a long time, and said softly: "It's not that he doesn't fight back, but he doesn't dare to fight back!"
"Why?" Li Yue'er frowned.
"Because, if you don't fight back, you may be able to live, and if you fight back, you will die!" Ye Gucheng understands the sorrow of this era better than anyone else.
"Why?" Li Yue'er didn't understand even more, her mind was much more mature than before, but she was not mature enough to see through the warmth and coldness of the world.
"When Yue'er grows up completely, she will understand!" Ye Gucheng lost the mood to talk for a moment.
The team soon arrived at the destination, an extremely gorgeous mansion, which was originally the courtyard of the princes of the four directions, because Ye Gucheng was unwilling to settle in the palace, so he could only retreat and settle here.
Entering the hall, the officials inevitably asked for a warm and polite greeting, Ye Gucheng didn't have a good impression of Tuoba Jing, so he didn't give any good face, and went straight to the point: "What is the situation now?"
As soon as he got to the point, Tuoba Jing solemnly recounted everything that happened.
Ye Gucheng knew that the situation was not optimistic, but he couldn't imagine that it would be so grim, and his brows were almost twisted. "Can the number of undead legions be determined?"
Neishi said truthfully: "I can't be sure! But one thing is certain, their number is only a lot more than that of the kingdom, fortunately, this group of monsters can only rush to kill with brute force, and they don't know how to arrange troops!"
"Now, according to the pace of the attack of the undead army, I am afraid that in less than a month, the army will be in the royal city!" spoke a civilian official, and the urgent situation made it difficult for him to smile.
"Actually, the kingdom is more worried about the undead armies in the east and west converging in the royal city, so that it will be more difficult to deal with the enemy on three sides!" another civil official also expressed his worry.
"There are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the east and west to hold the last line of defense, and they will not attack the royal city in a short time! Tuoba Jing glanced at Ye Gucheng deeply, and saluted: "I hope that the commander can spare no effort to help the kingdom tide over this crisis." ”
"Since Ben Shuai is here, he will not sit idly by. Ye Gucheng had a cold face from beginning to end.
"In this way, I have thanked the commander of Huaxia, please rest assured, after the war, all the losses of your country, my king is willing to bear it, and military expenses are no longer a problem. Seeing that Ye Gucheng still didn't have a good face, Wen Chen was angry in his heart, but he still forced a smile and continued: "Commander, there is a banquet in my king's palace, I don't know if I want to go to a party? ”
"Ben Shuai's deeds?" Ye Gucheng smiled coldly and sneered: "Do you want to know how the prince of your country can dismantle the order established by Ben Shuai in the Northern Barbarians, or are you more interested in how your prince killed Ben Shuai's subordinates and killed the woman Ben Shuai loved most in his life?"
The officials immediately looked at each other, so they were not embarrassed.
"Tuoba Jing, this marshal promised to send troops to save mankind, the innocent people of the world, not your kingdom, let alone you, so, don't bother me if there's nothing to do, because I'm afraid I can't help but kill you, get out!"
Ye Gucheng knew that saying this was not conducive to the alliance between the two countries, but he couldn't help it, every time he saw Tuoba Jing, he always couldn't help but think of the tragic deaths of the soldiers, the eyes of Zhang Yueli when he said goodbye, and the Xuanyuan Xiu who was buried in the desert with no bones, this kind of pain, this kind of hatred, ordinary people can't pay attention to it!
Tuoba Jing smiled bitterly and bowed deeply and retreated.
Outside the mansion, the ministers were furious, and even worse, they scolded directly: "Ye Gucheng has no one in his eyes like this, he is really rampant, and he will definitely let him repay it a hundred times in the future." ”
"That is, I don't know what the group of powerful people in China think, a person from a pariah background, who doesn't understand etiquette, and who doesn't care about anything important, can actually be their king. ”
"What kind of king? I'm afraid he doesn't even have the style of being a king, doesn't he claim to be a commander? ”
"That's enough!" Tuoba Jing's face sank, and he said coldly: "In this case, if this king hears it again, he will not be spared." ”
The courtier's heart sank, and he hurriedly received the order.
"But, the third prince, Ye Gucheng refuses to go to the banquet, how can I return to the king?"
Tuoba Jing thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Let's just say that Ye Gucheng is tired of traveling and driving, and he just wants to rest, and he will talk about the banquet in the future, and the rest is not allowed to be mentioned." ”
"Yes!"
