Chapter 55: The Tide
Most of the generals didn't know the details of last night's incident, and they were quite surprised to see that Dai Feng, a personal entourage, was so disrespectful to the king Qincha.
Ju Buyi scolded Dai Feng, who had just spoken disrespectfully, and said, "Are you looking for death?" Then he asked the soldier who came in to report, "How many men have you brought?" ”
The soldier said: "It is a guard of honor of more than 30 people, of which more than 10 are drummers." ”
Ju Buyi said to the indignant Dai Feng's entourage: "This is our territory, what are you panicking about?" Come out with me. ”
Everyone gathered in front of the gate and came to the gate, only to see a team of honor guards dressed in brocade clothes, playing seven yellow flags, embroidered a big thank you on the flag, riding on a tall horse by the flag, is a young man wearing a silver crown inlaid with jade, wearing a short cloak of phoenix feathers. This kind of clothing is second only to the royal family's Ming yellow pan dragon shirt in Wuyue Kingdom. Qian Hongyu is a prince, and the flag used is only Qiyan, but this person is young, but the specifications of Qian Hongyun's honor guard are the same.
A man dressed in a jujube red palace service held a sword for the young man, and said to Ju Buyi and the others: "This is Lord Xie Xiangcun Xie, who is in my hand, and what I am holding in my hand is the sword of Shang Fang who is like the royal family." Generals, why didn't you see Qincha? ”
Ju Buyi was stunned: "This is Lord Qincha? Also called Xie Xiangcun? "It's very obvious that this Chin Cha is not the one who was in the Drunken Dream Workshop last night. The man was obviously an adult, and the one in front of him was a young man.
Xie Xiangcun said: "Exactly. ”
Ju Buyi adjusted his tone and said politely: "The last general is clumsy, I don't know the adult, and please don't be surprised." ”
Xie Xiangcun said: "I originally served in the forbidden army and rarely went out, so it's no wonder that the general doesn't know me." Dare to ask who this general is? ”
Ju Buyi replied: "The last general is the deputy commander of the border army. ”
Xie Xiangcun said indifferently: "Disrespectful and disrespectful." After that, he said to one of the attendants beside him: "Show my canonization decree to General Ju." ”
The attendant held a bright yellow scroll of holy decree and held it to Ju Buyi. The main content is to seal Xie Xiangcun as a messenger to serve the order, enjoy the right to cut first and then play, and give Shangfang a sword and so on.
Ju Buyi looked at the generals around him and said, "It's really a holy decree." After saying that, he handed the yellow scroll back to the attendant, and knelt down and said, "The last general will meet Lord Qincha." ”
The other generals had already bowed down when they saw that they were not moving, and they all followed Shi to salute.
Ju Buyi asked Xie Xiangcun and his party to sit down in the Weiwu Hall, Xie Xiangcun dismounted and slowly entered the Weiwu Hall with everyone. Directly sat down on the dragon and tiger chair in the middle hall that could only be sat by Dai Feng.
Ju Buyi asked, "Dare to ask Lord Qincha, I don't know why I came?" ”
Xie Xiangcun said calmly: "Naturally, it is to read the holy decree. He also asked His Royal Highness Qian Hongyu to come out to receive the order. ”
There was silence in the hall, followed by whispers. Just now, the generals asked to see Dai Feng but couldn't, and now that the Qin mission has arrived, they want to see if they can move and how to shirk it.
"Lord Qiqi Qincha, His Highness was injured last night and could not come to visit. ”
Xie Xiangcun was surprised: "His Royal Highness Hongyu is injured? ”
Ju Buyi said: "Exactly. ”
Xie Xiangcun said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Yaksha Gate is a mysterious organization that is dangerous and heinous in my Wu Yue Kingdom. At that time, many prisoners were captured, and a very important confession was obtained, that is, they were planning to assassinate His Royal Highness Hongyu, the commander of the border army. When the Holy Lord learned of this news, he was very worried, and specially ordered Ben Qin to send a report to prevent His Highness Hongyu from making a mistake. ”
After sitting down, there was another sound of ear-to-ear exchange, and Xie Xiangcun asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, since Ben Qin came to the camp, he felt that the atmosphere was strange, what happened?" ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ju Buyi.
Ju Buyi thought about it again and again, and finally said: "Dare to ask Lord Qincha, has the palace lost the national treasure Seven Star Sword recently?" Did the Holy Lord also appoint the Qin Cha to track down the whereabouts of the Seven Star Sword? ”
Xie Xiangcun said: "The deputy envoy is really well-informed, the seven-star sword was indeed stolen, and it has been roughly found out that it was stolen by the Yaksha Gate." The saint ordered the Criminal Department to investigate, but did not send a special messenger for this matter. ”
Ju Buyi pretended to be sad and said, "Last night, His Royal Highness Hongyu received news that someone had stolen the royal family's token Seven Star Sword and was preparing to transport it to the Tang Kingdom. The treasure thieves settled in Sifang Town, not far from the big tent of the Chinese army. His Royal Highness Hongyu was afraid that the national treasure would be lost, and he was afraid that he would bring many people to arrest him, and he scared away the thieves. So he took his own guards and went to arrest them. I didn't expect it, I didn't think of it......" Speaking of this, Ju Buyi cried loudly.
Everyone felt ominous.
Xie Xiangcun stood up sharply and shouted: "In the big tent of the Chinese army, what kind of system do you have to cry like this? What happened? ”
The generals saw that Xie Xiangcun was young, thinking that he was not doing anything, but they didn't expect to start a fire, and there was a thunderous momentum.
Ju Buyi didn't dare to cry anymore, and said: "I didn't expect that we were ambushed, although we snatched the Seven Star Sword back, but His Royal Highness Hongyu was assassinated by the assassin. ”
The original worry turned into confirmation, and for a while all the generals fell silent.
Xie Xiangcun lamented: "Ben Qincha is still a step late. ”
Ju Buyi said: "The reason why we were fooled was actually because at that time, there was also a Qincha who claimed to be Xie Xiangcun. ”
Xie Xiangcun asked, "What does he look like?" ”
Ju Buyi said: "It is a very handsome young man, less than thirty years old. ”
Xie Xiangcun said: "It is likely that he is the master of the Yaksha Gate, and his nickname is Jade Mask Shura." Who exactly it is has not yet been clarified. ”
Ju Buyi asked, "What is good now?" ”
Xie Xiangcun turned to the generals and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, in your opinion, why did the Yaksha Gate assassinate His Royal Highness Hongyu?" ”
Ju Buyi induced: "Could it be that the Tang State wants to invade the border pass?" ”
Xie Xiangcun said: "It is very possible, and I think that the reason why the Yaksha Gate has repeatedly killed the pillars of my Wu Yue Kingdom is because the Tang State wants to annex our country." ”
An old general said: "Did the Tang Congress take advantage of the killing of the commander of our army to come and attack?" ”
Xie Xiangcun pondered: "I have to guard against it." ”
Ju Buyi asked, "In the opinion of adults, what should I do?" ”
Xie Xiangcun said decisively: "I don't mourn, I immediately enter emergency alert." If anyone dares to leak the news that His Royal Highness Hongyu has been killed. Xie Xiangcun suddenly pulled out Shang Fang's sword and said: "It will be punished according to the theory of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the decision will be made." ”
In the big tent of the Chinese army, there were several iron tiger head shields stacked on the side, Xie Xiangcun jumped up, swung his sword and slashed at the falling iron shield, the sword aura was like a rainbow, and several iron shields were all broken at the waist, just when everyone was stunned, Xie Xiangcun had already floated back to sit on the dragon and tiger chair, and the sword was inserted back into the waiter's scabbard at the same time. "Did you hear that?" ”
The generals replied, almost reflexively, "Yes." They were all impressed by Xie Xiangcun's superb martial arts and the divine weapons in his hands.
Xie Xiangcun's martial arts, not to mention teenagers of the same age, are few of these generals who are stationed at the border and practice every day.
Xie Xiangcun continued in an unquestionable tone: "You can't be without a commander in the army for a day, not to mention that at such a critical moment, I will make an order on behalf of the saint, and I will temporarily take over the command of the border army with full authority to handle the military affairs of the border army. ”
And they bowed down again and said yes. Because he has followed Dai Feng for many years, he is flattering and sloppy, but it is actually difficult for him to be a commander and convince the public. But everyone also understands in their hearts that it is difficult to find a more suitable temporary replacement than him.
Xie Xiangcun said: "Ben Qin will rush back to Hangzhou at night and report this matter to the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord will definitely appoint a new commander of the border army and send reinforcements to ensure that the Tang State has no chance." Then he said to Ju Buyi: "Deputy Envoy Ju, you immediately present the Seven Star Sword." ”
Ju Buyi hurriedly asked people to take the seven-star sword and held it to Xie Xiangcun with both hands.
Xie Xiangcun took the sword, pulled it out and examined it carefully, then returned the sword into the sheath, and sighed mournfully: "Sure enough, it is a seven-star sword, but no matter how precious the national treasure is, how can it be worthy of the life of His Royal Highness Hongyu?" His Royal Highness Hongyu, brave and loyal, heaven and earth can be learned! ”
All the generals looked sad.
Xie Xiangcun said to the soldiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, behind you are the great rivers and mountains of Wu Yueguo, and your family members, I hope you will defend your family and defend the country and swear to fight the enemy!" ”
The generals said in unison: "Protect the family and the country, and swear to resist the enemy!" ”
Xie Xiangcun strode out of the tent, all the generals chased after him, Xie Xiangcun turned over and hugged his fists to the generals and said: "I am for the people of Wu Yueguo, please all the soldiers." Then he turned the horse's head and walked away. His retinue followed him, and rode away at a gallop.
The generals can't help but sigh that it is really "a hero from ancient times".
